The manufacturers of these imitation parts are obviously not as interested as we are in main­ taining the high standard of quality and the complete sat­ isfaction of Ford owners. Imitation parts are manufac­ tured to sell at the highest possible rath pf profit and the grades of steel used are consequently not the same high quality, specially heat-treated alloy steels specified in Ford formulas for die manufacture of GENUINE FORD PARTS. Don’t be milled — Insist upon GENUINE FORD PARTS made by the Ford Motor Company.

ARRESTED FOR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS Edward Nye of Yankee Springs, Never Had Had Any Previous Experience in Fanning ' Edward Nye formerly resided in Chi­ cago, and possibly had read of the de­ lights that come to rural residents who live on the form, raise their own chick­ ens, get milk from their own cows—in fact nrc quite free from tho cares that infect city residents, as to where they are going to get their .food. Ed. never had had any experience in fanning nnd perhaps thought it wouldn't make any difference where he settled down for farming operations, just so he got hold of a farm. The uj>»hot of it was that he pur chased n farm down iu-Xunkoe Springs; secured quite » bunch of cattle nnd live stock in some way and moved onto bis purchase. It wasn’t long, before feed for his cattle was exhausted li«vin*t him with u bunch* of stock und nothing to feed them. He seemingly thought to winter them on that basis. The outcome of it all was his arrest for cruelty'tn animals in/not feeding und earing for his cattle and his pay­ ing 13* line and cunts. . . Way to Hold tha Cook.

The stockholders of the Petoskey Portland Cement.Company, as well as the general pub­ lic of Michigan, have learned that they can depend upon the management of the Petoskey -V.'.H Portland Cement Company to so operate that concern to produce substantial dividends. The management of the Petoskey Transportation Company is the same as that of the Cement Company, with several additional men of equal ability and integrity. The Petoskey Transportation Company is today as firmly, established as if it had been in business for a - /'number of years, because it does not have anything to sell and does not need to solicit busii“"ness. It has the greatest essential of all businesses, and that is that it has. all the business guaranteed to it that it can handle, fend has a management that can be depended upon to take a substantial profit out of that business. । __ I An investment in the PETOSKEY TRANSPORTATION COMPANY is an investment in n established enterprise that will always be able to pay dividends.

From experience we have found out that people who have never used this flour before and have purchated a trial tack, have been so well satisfied with the baking results they obtained, they could not be in­ duced to change back to any other brand of flour. This tame thing happened to a great many people years ago and they are still using FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR and are well satisfied with it. The reason it satisfies is because of its superior quality. It is made better than other brands of flour but sells for the same low price that inferior brands sell for. If you are interested in saving .time and money, don't experiment with other brands of flour, when you can get FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR that ia guaranteed to give satisfaction. . Ask almost any house­ wife and she will tell you she is either using or going to use FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR because she is tired of the costly experiences at­ tached to using brands of flour she knows nothing about. ■ We are just aa anxious to have you satisfied with FRENCH'S WHITE LILY/FLOUR as we are to have you try it and we have spared no expense in making it^as good as it could be made and we are glad to back it up with our guarantee.

Any impingement of these nerves interfering with t|ie transmission of mental impulses results in an abnormal function called disease. This interference u produced by subluxated vertebrae pressing upon nerves as they pass out from the spinal cord. The Chiropractor is able to locate the point of ob­ struction or interference, and by means of adjusting the subluxated vertebrae cor­ rects the odr “- conditions,"or healthi Is the result.

HASTINGS ' .' ■ ■ L . FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR The Flour That Makes the Best Bread You can’t make good bread from poor flour, so your bread can never be any better than the flour from which it is made. If you are using flour that is only run through three or four sets of rolls, such as is made in ordinary mills, you arc not getting the best flour fcr your 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. . The 'result is a ^‘poor baking." Perhaps you will have to throw f.ome of it away, which of course ADDS to the COST of the flour. There is nothing that is more indigestible thin poor, heavy bread. T here is nothing more healthful and appetizing then GOOD BREAD. You cah be assured of good,bakings every time you use FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. It is not like the ordinary flour. We clean our grain better,'and we put it through 17 sets of rolls before it u finished, and sacked. You pay no morq for FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR than you do for the ordinary flour. By owning our-own mill, water power and lighting plant; by running 24 hours a day, year in and year out, thereby cutting our "general expense" in two; by having the latest and best equipment in flour making machinery, we are able to clean our grain better, put it through 17 nets of rolls, pnd sell it to you at the same price as ordinary flour, which is only put through from three to five sets of rolls. . I You have probably made up your mind that “tome time you are going to try FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, if you are not now using it Why not commence NOW? WHY NOT ORDER A SACK.TODAY?

It is a pleasure to '.it.-w’Thal people Htave corhe.lb value this store by the SATISFACTION it gives and the IN­ TRINSIC WORTH of its values. The change in the name of this firm, which was the reason for our putting on this great Dissolution Sale, was the occasion of the radical reduction in prices that so maijj’ have taken ^advantage of. This Sale will continue another week, and we would advise "that all. who have not yet been able to attend, should come at once, because while the Sale lasts, prices in a gi'eat many instances are way below what it would cost us to replace them. And many garments, perfectly good, reliable clothing, we are offering at only u small fraction of the real worth. This is in broken lines that ’ we wish to close out.

This reputation is gained arid held, because we use only the highest grade of materials and the latest methods of production. We can produce a cheaper loaf than we are now mak­ ing, by'the use of cheaper flours and substitutes for Lard, Sugar and Milk, and by cutting the wages paid which are not exorbitant, but we have a trade demanding Quality Products and we shall continue to try and supply that demand. Also, in considering price, remember we scale 26 oz of dough to each loaf, giving a full 24 oz. loaf of bread when baked; and each ounce short of this adds that much to\the cost per pound of a lighter loaf.

Mtw Edith Johneock MWrtained hrr Sunday School cla*i« of Delton nt -i Just nib it on and breathe in the vapors Truth is Mighty ■ and Shall Prevail The universal popularity of Studebaker Cars is attested by the fact that the corporation enjoyed the biggest business in its history in the year of 1921. The sales of Studebaker Cars were 29% greater than in , 1920, notwithstanding the fact that the total number of cars sold of all other makes (except Ford) was 40% less than in 1920. Stated otherwise, Studebaker’s ratio of sales was 129 and the total of other makes 60, as compared with 1920/ Federal Bonds are safe bonds Fix this fast in your memory—Federal Bonds are safe bonds. When suavely phrased advertisements of securities promising greater interest attract your eye turn your thoughts back to this one great thought — Federal Bonds are safe bonds. The business of selling Federal'Bonds is daily build­ ing itself greater and greater upon this one idea— Federal Bonds are safe bonds. The conviction That safety is the fi^t essential of good investment is deepening and extending itself further and further. Federal Bonds are safe bonds. How insignificant seems the argument of greater interest alongside this mighty fact—Federal Bonds are safe bonds. Sign your name to the coupon below. It will bring you further word of these safe bonds. ‘ Tax Free in Michigan The number of Studebaker Cars sold in the year of 1921 ' in both Greater New York and in the Metropolitan District exceeded the sales of any other make except Ford. Studebaker is the world’s largest producer of six-cylinder cars. 4 The only possible explanation of the popularity' of Studebaker Cars lies in their quality, durability and de- • pendable performance in users’ hands. Proof that the cars stand up in service with minimum repairs is evidenced by the fact that our sales of Repair Parts in 1921 Were 12% less than they were in 1919, notwithstanding that. 118,000 new cars were sold and put in operation in 1920 and 1921. Based on the total estimated number of Studebaker Caps in opera­ tion in 1921, we sold $16.00 worth of parts per car for re­ pairs froip all causes, including accidents. The materials and workmanship in Studebaker Cars measure upz to the highest standards known to the auto­ mobile industry. Substantially better intrinsic values can­ not be obtained at any price. The theory that high prices necessarily mean fine cars is fallacious, simply because prices are not based upon intrinsic values but upon pro­ duction costs of individual makers, which vary widely ac­ cording to their ability- and manufacturing facilities. Obviously, high costs of production, inevitably- arising from incompetence or inadequate manufacturing facilities, mean not only- high prices but actually inferior cars. With $70,000,000 of actual net assets including $36,(MX),000 of plant facilities? Studebaker stands unsur­ passed in ability and resources to manufacture economically an3 give the greatest intrinsic value possible for a given price. . .

The best soft coal we have had in years. We only empty the ash-pan once or twice, a week and then it is not full. It all bums up dean.” Mr. Frank Smith, Smith & Son Department” St ore says: “Red Comet is just fine. We have burned a ton and a half now and have had les* than a tub of ashes. 1 DON’T THINK * IT HAS A BUSHEL OF ASH TO THE TOIM.” Mrs. George McCartney says: CHIROPRACTIC While the Science of Chiropractic is the greatest safe-guard against disease known today, and although the results it produces in acute cases, or cases of short duration, are remarkable, it* fame and sucess ia due to the extraordinary restoration of health in long-standing, chronic cases, where disease ha* been present for years 'and years. These chronic cases all have the same story to tell. Invariably they have gone from one doctor to another for years. They have tried every known kind of medical treatment along with many other therapeutic systems. These people with chronic cases of one kind or another give just one reason for going to a Chiropractor. They say they have spent so muth money and tried every­ thing else that they might "just as well grab at the last straw." They really ex­ pect no better results than they have experienced at the hands of other methods. The irresistable longing for health and happiness impels them to try whatever re­ maining method offer* any hope. j Can you not realize the genuine enthusiasm and real joy of these sufferers when under Chiropractic adjustments they actually experience the result* they have so long hoped and sought for? The pity is (Chiropractic being so now and so little known) that they could not have had the benefits of spinal adjustments FIRST— rather than last. If your health is just beginning to break, don’t allow your experience to become the experience of a chronic case. Stop the destruction, of your health. Got well with Chiropractic spinal adjustment* and stay well. If you have already allowed your case to become chronic, do not delay another day your return to health and happiness. Disease, like any other enemy, mujt be conquered. F. C. HINKLEY, D. C. Office Hour, It is Drawing to a Close TAMARAC CORNERS.

Wilfred Lindsay, Pastor LEGION. First—The Indestructible Isolators by locking the plates apart prevent short circuits of the plates—a common cause of battery deterioration and a most ex­ pensive -damage to repair. This inter- • locking construction prevents the plates from moving a fraction of an inch and rub the wooden mats. As the Isolators arc made of celluloid, a material not affected by battery acid, they remain in place, keeping the plates apart until the battery is entirely worn out from natural causes. Second —• Vesta Impregnated Mats while .relieved’ of the heavy" mechanical * duty of separating the plates, perform a very important function. The fibre of the wood is impregnated with a chemical that positively prevents the passage of metallic lead through it, preventing “treeing.” Service al 10:30 o'clock. Il Listings.

ISOLATOR BATTERIES We are pleased to announce that we sell the VESTA ISOLATOR BATTERIES for all makes of cars.- Vesta experience in the manufacture of automobile batteries extends over a period of 20 years and when we sell you a VESTA we know we are selling you a “BETTER BATTERY.” fc Wouldn’t You Like to Have a Battery With a 2 Year Guafentee? FIRST CHURCH OP CHRIST. SCIENTIST. Corner Church and Center Streets local hoard then- VESTA No ordinary “wood separator" has this virtue. This passage of lead from one plate ..to .another is similar to electro-plating and* it allowed to .continue, builds up a filament of lead through the pores of the wood causing short circuits. This is called a “tree.” This action is positively prevented by the impregnating material in Vesta Mats. This patented process of treating the •wood preserves ail the strength of the wood fibre. The impregnating Chemical absorbs the battery acid as readily us the fibres of the wood, making a perfect path for the electric current. Third—Is the use of Titanium. This is a rare mineral which is now coming into use. In steel rails it pro* duces a steel of wonderful purity and strength. Vesta owns the basic patent control-* ling its use in Storage Batteries. Fourth—VESTA PLATES are hard, but, by a hew process of manufacture,, they are very porous, capable of filter­ ing water. This permits the chemical action to take place through the plate and not merely on the surface. The electrical capacity is, therefore, increased.

PAGE THIRTEEN Ford Cars Are Selling For Less Money Than Before the War The Ford Car is the only one that we know of that is selling below PRE-WAR PRICES. It has ahvays been the aim of the Ford Motor Company to put a car on the market that the AVERAGE PERSON could ailord to OWN and OPERA 1 E. Owning their own coal and iron mines, their own steel mills and lumber mills, and their own railroad, enables the Ford Motor Company not only to provide the very BEST of materials, but also to cut out all “middle profits.” I . Fortified with this great advantage in a manufacturing way; with almost unlimited capital and a wonderful “organization,” enables the Ford Motor Company to offer the people the greatest “VALUE” in the way of a car that can be offered. The New Price on the Fordson Tractor The regular price of the Fordson Tractor has bpen $625.00. Unexpectedly and, without notice the Ford Motor Company Inst week cut* the price to $395. At this price no fanner can afford to be without a Fordson Tractor. It doesn't cost as much as a good, first class team, and will do a whole lot more—and do it a lot quicker. Saying nothing of the plowing, dragging and farm work they will do» they are worth all they cost’for lilting silos, buzzing wood, pumping water, husking corn and a hiftdred and one other things. If one man felt that he didn’t have work chough to justify his buying one, several in a neighborhood could each put in a few dollars and own one jointly. Here Are Some Facts For You to Consider Ford Cars are selling for LESS MONEY today than they ever did before. EVERY MODEL the Ford Motor Co. turns out is selling.below pre-wiir prices. We believe'wc ar^J stating the exact truth when we say that the FORD is the ONLY CAR that is BELOW the pre-war price. Take the Ford Touring Car In 1917 the Ford Toirrihg Car sold F. O. !>. factory for_____ __________ TODAY, THE SAME CAR is selling F. O. B. factory for _____ The Ford “Starter” Is Guaranteed ________ $645.00 $550 00 The year of 1921 has been recognized us quite, a disastrous one for the automobile business generally. Many factories have been compelled to quit; others practically closed. Very, very few of them were evpn moderately busy. But in 1921 The Ford Motor Company SOLD DM.213 MORE CARS atu^TRLCKS TH^N WERE —SOLD IN 1920? This was due to the Ford Policy of.reducing prices whenever, conditions would justify it. The Ford One-Ton Truck Chassis l:i 1917 the Ford One-Ton Truck Chasnisr sold for__c---_____ ________ tf* /?/)/) fl fl vVVU>vv fl fl _________ Spurious Parts Dangerous The Fordson Tractor The design and construction of the front axle of a motor car is of vital importance. It not only supports the weight of the front end of the automobile, but it must also be string.enough to with­ stand the most severe shocks, as when the .wheels strike some ob­ struction when the car is travelling at high speed. Furthermore, the car is guided through the front axle assembly. The Fordson Tractor is the gi atest machine on the market and nothing approaches it in price. Many changes and improve­ ments have been made on it with i the past year, and today it stands without an equal. ' • Therefore, it naturally follows that the front axle, including the spindles, radius rods and spindle connecting rod, be constructed out of high grade materials, properly heat-treated and designed with a high factor of safety. Like a boil out of a clear skv mat week the Ford Motor Co. announced the new price i the flfl Fordson' Tractor, F. O._B. I' troit was__ i&OJu What Is true of these parts is true .also of ail other Ford Parts. It is important that every Ford owner buy Genuine Ford Parts. More Fords Sold in 1921 Than Were Sold in 1920 fOJO /)/) TODAY, the -tame car, without Starter and Demountable Rims would be selling TODAY, the same Chassis woifld sell for_____________ There are still many owners who do not appreciate the fact that they are jeopardizing their safety and that of their family and friends by using spurious parts. The prices of Ford Cars have dropped FOUR times in. 16 MONTHS, and have reached j'.istiaS low a point as c^n be reached tinder present conditions. The prices on ALL the various Mudds' of Ford.- have been REDUCED I ROM 40 TO‘65 PER. CENT AND EVERY MODEL IS BELOW PRE-WAR PRICES, and some of them are way. way below. When it comes to EFFICIENCY, SERVICE ami ALL-AROUND UTILITY.’everyone appreciates that there is no car made that can eompafo with the Fortt for anywhere near the same .money. It is a.common remark that yon "always .get there” when you start out with a Ford. You can absolutely DEPEND UPON THEM. You.can't say that about some of the new makes of cars that are coming on th/.market. fl fl •IfU The Ford Sedan The Starter on the Ford Cur is one that Ford worked on for 12 YEARS before he started manufacturing them.' It is simple.in construction—no chains or belts—and is the equal of starters put on high priced cars. More than that it is ABSOLUTELY GUAR­ ANTEED by the Ford Motor Company. You talk with any owner of one of the late models of Ford Cars and he will tell you that with the "Ford Starter” and the "Demountable Rims,” the Ford Car is the BEST VALUE on the market today. He is pleased with his car;.it didn’t cost him much, depreciation will be small, oper­ ating expenses light, and he always KNOWS that his, Ford will take him anywhere he wants to go. Ford Prices Have Dropped Four Times in 16 Months Up to within the past week ti price of the Fordson Tractor, F. O. B. <‘-itroit was fl fl If you are thinking about buying a Ford car, truck or tractor, it will be well to place your order now if you wish an early delivery. Repairs for Ford Cars Another feature that is of wonderful ADVANTAGE to evur.v owner-of a Ford Car is the item of REPAIRS. "With the dHiit • Ford organization, covering not only this country, but practically the .entire world, you can get repairs for Ford Cars anywhere und the prices are always VERY REASONABLE.

It provides a delicious economical spread for bread. Its-flavor is so fresh and delicate that even mere men become enthusiastic about it. It’s made front pasteurized milk and rich tropical nuts. Can you resist Brednut when you know its delight­ ful ingredients. The richness of tropical nuts — brought from far off islands! Pasteurized milk from healthy cows! Blended under careful supervision in spotless rooms. These ingredients make Brednut— the most delicate bread spread you ever tasted. We certainly wish that every woman could see Bred­ nut. made. Every household then would have a new idea of bread-sjlread purity. All would understand, even without reading the Government bulletins, why such a food is so high in energy value; why it is so highly digestible. Why children love it. Remember this about BrednOt.

I. C. swin^. Prices are back to a pre-war basis, so no one is gambling on the fluctuation in livestock prices now; tiiey are very low as compared with two years ago, and good livestock will pay well at any time, but poor ones never will. The following are figures on two grade cows on my farm seven years ago: No. 1. A high-grade Holstein six-year-old, in Sly'months produced 8,981 pounds .2. of milk with 342.28 pounds of fat at 30 cental per pound, Worth $102.37. No. 2. A grade Shortham six years old, in 8% months produced 6,856 pounds of milk with 246.81 pounds of fat, at 30 cents per pound, worth $74.04. There being a difference of $28.33 in favpr of No. 1. If No. 2 was worth $80 and paid 6% interest on the investment, then No, 1 woijld beSvorth $473. Study these figures nnd make up your mind which kind of cow you would rather keep. . • Now the cows in this sale will produce from 9,000 poundtj to 14.0Q0 pounds per year. Then, besides your having an opportunity to buy some high-producing stock at your own price, you also have the unparalleled opporwnity of buying from a herd -where there has never been a single case of tuberculosis, contagious abortion, nor garget, and the poorest cow in the herd produced 74 pounds in a day as a four-year-old under ordinary herd condi* - Buy some ut thia sale for foundation stock and you will have eliminated two of the worst diseases that dairymen have to contend with. „ of H ;x-r cent.

MONTEITH MARTIN, MICHIGAN The Economical Housewife Bakes with Flour That Gives Best Results FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT IT IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL FLOUR TO USE. If you ever get the idea that you are cutting down your living expenses by using flour that perhaps may cost you a few cents less per sack than FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR then you’ve got “another guess coming.” You may be thinking all the while about the few pennies that you THINK you saved on the purchase of that sack of flour. Now did you REALLY save even those few pennies? You haven’t thought about that baking .you had to throw away. You hadn't thought about that batch of bread that was so soggy that the most of it had to go to the chickens, or the pigs. You haven’t thought about the hard work you had to put in to prepare arid bake that bread. You had to throw away not only the bread but YOUR TIME as well. Don’t you count your time WORTH ANYTHING? You surely ought to. It would COST MONEY to get anyone to do the work you are doing. The real fact is that the actual cost of the flour and the time you THREW AWAY on one baking, would MORE than make up the difference between the cost of the sack of. poor flour you bought, and a sack of FRENCH'S WHITE LILY—the best flour your money can buy. No doubt when you threw away your baking- you dismissed the subject from your mind with the thought that it was only another case of “End luck." But the real fnct is that it was NOT a case of bad luck—it was a case of "poor flour.” You can’t have good bakings from poorly milled flour. Where the grain has to bo “RUSHED" .through three or four sets of rolls in order to get a PRODUCTION that will be PROFITABLE, you cannot expect to get a good, smooth, even QUALITY of flour. You certainly would not expect a good batch of bread from dough that had been “kneaded” only about a quarter as much as it should have been. Then why expect to make good bread from flour that has been rushed through a mill, and is really only about one-quarter manufactured? FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR goes through 17 sets of rolls, every particle of flour going through the same process until it finally comes out a perfectly smooth, even granulation. If yo(i have been using an ordinary flour and will try a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY'you will readily it and the ordinary flour.

' Why Do Chiropractors Advertise and Is Advertising Ethical? • defines ethics as “pertaining to conduct and involving the moral ques­ tion, ’ i. e., the question of right and wrong, so that the question might be stated as follows: Is it right to give notice to the public that a great, new discovery has been made in the method of getting the sick well? When the question is so stated it an­ swers itself. It is as though one were to ask: Is it ethical to advertise where food is to be gotten to those who are starving, or is it right to give notice of the discovery of a spring to those who are dying of thirst in the desert? If Chiropractic is what Chiropractors and patients claim it to be, it Would be a crime to conceal it from a sick world. If it is half what they say it is, every moral impulse and every ethical consideration would urge those who know its merits to proclaim them. , OF COURSE, if Chiropractic is a fraud, if it lacks merit, or if it occupies a rela­ tively small niche in the health edifice, such claims as are publicly made would merit the most severe condemnation and penalties. The wonderful increase in the number of practitioners, and the rate at which the Chiropractic schools are growing, as well as the evident prosperity of the pro­ fession and the enthusiasm of the patients, preclude any such conclusion. What people object to is npt advertising, but untruth and fraud. The‘public wants to know of every meritorious proposition and advertising is the" medium through which this is accomplished- Like every other good thing, advertising can be prostituted and used for ignoble ends, and ih this lies the wrong. It is not wrong to advertise, but it is wrong to lie and to bear false witness.

FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR reduces living expenses, and is the most ECONOMICAL for the house­ wife, because of the best quality of wheat and the best processing known to the flouring business. When you buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR you not only get all the flour goodness of the best Michigan winter wheat," but you get such an Mven, perfect: granulation as will enable the housewife to get more loaves of bread and better brgad from a-sack^o^ FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR than from any other flour. And it will also hold moisture Tetter. Ifyouare not nowusingiF,’we invite youloTmalce the test?

IS, 1922 utomob *r NINTH MID-WINTER NUMBER ..... -........... - OF =================== THE HASTINGS BANNER WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1922 Trade is really the foundation of greatness. Commerce is the basis of all progress, advancement, human happiness and comfort. If we all have confidence in the future of trade, our success nationally and individually assured. We can all help MAKE Prosperity by BELIEVING in it. • Confidence is really the very foundation of all business. We purchase certain articles because we have confidence in the article, and in the integrity of the manufacturer and the dealer. In the great majprity of cases when we buy we give a note, or a check—mere scraps of paper—which he accepts in exchange, because he too has confidence that the "promise to pay" will be redeemed at full face value. All the great business structures, and our own business plans are built upon confidence—confidence in our country, o.ur community, and our associates. It is the one word that has made the whole world a worth while place in which to live. • As a-result of the great upheaval through which we have all passed, business today has need of the full strength of the corner-stone (Confidence) upon which it is built. The man who undermines this strength with stories of.calamity, with undue fear and timidity for the days to come, really encourages disaster to himself and the great business structures.' We are indeed fortunate in living in the greatest country on earth, the leader of all the nations, to which the people of all. lands are looking for guidance. There is every reason why we should cherish a greater reverence for America than we ever held before: It has done wonderful things and every­ thing indicates that we have but started in the accomplishment of far more wonderful things. Every element that can affect our future happiness and prosperity, our individual business plans and our whole business,outlook calls for nothing but supreme confidence. For every wavering doubt there can be but one reasonable answer—have confidence in the future and the future will justify yotir confidence. .

Hastings, Michigan What Do You Want of a Car? ■ You measure the value of your motor car by its power to travel hard and fast; its strength to stand up under hard usage and its capacity to go and keep on going. These qualities have always belonged to Buick and are pro­ nounced features of the 1922 Buick Models. Buick has built cars of depend­ ability for twenty years and each year has seen more and more Buick cars put into/service in every line where practicability and intrinsic jralue are re­ What the Buick Offers quired. The complete line for the season consists of seven six-cylinder models and four four-cylinder models, built to one standard of mechanical excel­ lence. The Buick principle of motor design and chassis construction is em­ bodied in three open and four closed body types or. the-six-cylinder chassis and in two open and two closed body types on the four-cylinder chassis. The Guarantee Back of Buick With every sale of a .new Buick Car—Four or Six—there is‘rf writ­ ten guarantee which promises replacement of any part that proves to bep defective from the manufacturing standpoint. If you will call we will be pleased to show you atopy of the guarantee. The BuicK Creed The Buick Creed A Buick automobile must be so built that it will, at all times and un­ der all circumstances, give the owner uninterrupted use of his investment. a ..53 Evety Buick owner is entitled to, will receive prompt and efficient service—the kind that will insure him the motoring pleasure he ex­ pects. Buick reputation so pre-eminently firm and fair, was not won by chance, but is due to the policy estab- lished with the production of the first Buick car and so consistently ad­ hered to ever since—that of giving the owner the maximum of service for the minimum of cost. No matter what its price, a Buick car must and will give the maximunf of that service for which it was in­ tended, and must bear its proportion of the responsibility of maintaining the high prestige which Buick cars have attained.

Fordson Tractors Selling Fast at More Fords Sold in 1921 Than Were Sold in 1920 The year of 1921 has been recognized as quite a disastrous one for the automobile business generally.

D., who was one of their own number. How much longer it will take them to accept Chiropractic nobody knows; however, it is a fact that an ever increasing number are adopting it to the exclusion of medicine. There are some physicians no doubt who still speak disparagingly of Chiroprac­ tic, and you will find, as a rule, that those who rant the loudest know the least. Perhaps they are not entirely to blame, for if their lack of knowledge is the cause of their opposition, what it to be said of the responsibility of the patients who tell "white lies” to their family physician when he curiously inquires as to the source of their health? When a patient whom the family doctor has treated for years for some cHlonic, incurable (?) disease gets well, and the physician inquires how it happened, the pa­ tient may be animated by kindness when he conceals the fact that he owes his res­ toration to health to Chiropractic, but he isn’t doing justice to himself, the medical doctor or the Chiropractor. In spite, however, of the bitter prejudice of some of the medical profession, and the reticence of the patients, there is an ever increasing number of M. D.'s all over the United States and Canada who understand, appreciate and practice straight Chiropractic to the exclusion of medicine and every other method. F.C. HINKLEY,.D. C.

AMERICAN LAUNDRY PHONE 2243 D. SMITH, Proprietor Notice reduction in price from 10c to 8c lb. on Rough Dry. Call any time We wash all the time We have sent out price cards announcing a decline of 10c per cwt. [or milk for February. We disliked very much to offer any leas for milk at this time for we feet that the price paid in January was entirely too low, when viewed from the producer's standpoint. However, it is not a question of our OWn likes or dislikes but rather one of meeting conditions as they are. -The supply of manufactured milk products is far in excess of the demand for such products. The result is very low prices. We had on hand at our Grand Ledge plant February 1st, 20,000 cases of evaporated milk and milk compound. In addition to this we had 23,000 cases in other warehouses. The stocks of our company is a typical condition cm other concerns. It is needless for ualo.statc that, at the present time we are selling manufactured productinbetow the cost of production. Last week we shipped 5,000 cases of dtaporated milk. The price for which this was sold was $3.53 delivereq to New York City. Our actual cost was $3.95. We still have in storage at Grand Rapids,sweetened condensed skimmed milk made last June. iThe original cost of this milk was 5MfC per pound. Disregarding all costs for storage, we arb now selling this at 4c. WE RECITE THESE INSTANCES SO THAT OUR PRODUCERS MAY KNOW THAT WE, AS MANUFACTURERS, HAVE TO ACCEPT HEAVY LOSSES AT TIMES AND ARE NOT PILING UP THE PROF­ ITS, AS IS SOMETIMES CARELESSLY INTIMATED. We know dissatisfactions creep in and some producers .feel that to get better prices they must become manufacturers. We have little to say regarding this, except that experience will soon teach that it is one thing to manufacture a product but quite another to be able to dispose of it at a profit. • / THE DAIRYMAN’S LEAGUE OF NEW YORK STATE—OWNED BY FARMERS—CLOSE TO THE BEST MARKETS—IN JANUARY PAID 31.24 FOR 3.0%, CLASS No. 3.

Chiropractic cornea upon the field and makea vast pretenaiona. For five thousand years, the best minds of the medical profession have search­ ed the heavens and the earth, trying in vain to find the cause of disease, which Chiro­ practic teaches is to be found within the body. Against the wonderful organization known as the American Medical Associa­ tion, with its endowments of millions, its secure position in the educational institu­ tions, and the popular prejudice of the general public, Chiropractic has nothing to hurl but the constantly increasing “Whereas 1 was sick and I am now well’’ of those upon whom all other methods have failed. To succeed where all others fail is the supreme test, and unless Chiropractic can do this, it has no excuse for its existence. . (This subject will be further explained In the sex'; issue.) . F. C.

New here—old in Dixie A Great Faith in Federal From the very beginning of this business years ago we have deliberately sold Federal Bonds upon the sole basis that they are the best bonds. We have gone to extreme lengths in urging an im­ partial comparison of other bonds with Federal Bonds sure in the conviction that, such a compar­ ison could only fix more firmly the fact that Federal Bonds are the best First MortgageRealEstate Serial Gold Bonds. We have resolutely turned our minds away from the thought that people buy Federal Bonds for any reason save that they actually are the best bonds. And yet, to be wholly truthful with ourselves, we must confess that there is a reason for the great increase in sales of Federal Bonds that is apart from the greater goodness of the bonds.. That reason, and we write it with justifiable pride, is the fine^and firm faith people have in the Federal Bond &^Mortgage Company. Many a sale is turned our way because the pur­ chaser knows this company is an institution of high business principles and solid financial standing. Many an investor becomes a customer of the Federal Bond & Mortgage Company because of the implicit confidence he has in the integrity of the company and the honor of its officials. And were we today enlled upon to sum up in a sentence the reason for the tremendous preference for Federal Bonds that is developing everywhere among investors we could not phrase it more aptly than it is phrased here, ••they have a great faith in Federal.” • FEDERAL BONDS Are Better Bonds Representative in Hastings of Federal Bond and Mortgage Co.

When you KNOW that you have “Money in the Bank” against a "rainy day" you don’t know how good you feel, and it is surpris­ ingly EASY to accumulate after you have once started. JUST SUPPOSE THAT YOU SAVED ONE-QUARTER OF ALL YOU MAKE Progressive Housekeepers qA new food. Think What Such a System Would Have Done For You Had You Commenced It Five or Ten Years Ago Smiles from your family. RECENTLY a noted foreign writer paid this high compliment to American women. He said, in effect: “American women arc the quickest in the world to adifrt new worthy ideas. Their eyes and minds are ever wide open on any subject; social relations, civic improvement, national and international pol­ itics.’’ Think what such a System will mean for you FIVE or TEN YEARS .._.jce.. It means the difference between SUCCESS and F AILURE. DOL­ LARS pile up surprisingly fast when you put them to work for you. That’s a point that most people do not appreciate, and do not think of. “Interest” is just like FINDING MONEY, because you put forth no immediate effort to get it, but jt is really a reward for your habiti of THRIFT Our writer should have added that American women are especially quick to adopt any new, worthy food idea.

All the impurities are not only taken out of the grain, but all the “iuzz" and dirt are removed from the wheat. Every kernel i scoured and pcll?hed until nothing but the pure grain is left. Wc have '«pcci*L-patentcd machinery for doing thin work, and you would be surprised atThcTargl! amount of dirt, filth and impurities that we take froijj grain that “looks cleari-^cfore we start ii through our patented cleaning machinery. in a -great majority of flouring.:mills where QUANTITY of flour manufactured rather than-QUALITY, is considered, a lot of fool stuff ir not only left in the wheat but a lot of dirt, dust and filth are left on the wheat kernels because it takes a lot of time to CLEAN WHEAT RIGHT und requires special machinery to do it. Gocd, pure flour is the most healthful and nourishing food pro­ duct, and at the same time the most economical you can buy. When you buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR you KNOW what you are getting. You know that ynu arc getting a cleaner and better flour, and one that it not touched by human hands from the time the wheat is clumped into our hoppers until the sack is delivered at your door. If you arc not particular about the flour you buy,, then the care we use in cleaning the grain, nnd the sanitary methods we use in manu­ facture from': tart to finish, may not appeal to you. But if you arc particular and desire the BEST PRODUCT at NO INCREASE in PRICE, then FRENCH'S WHITE LILY offers inducements that no other brand of flour can approach. , "Are result of all this is that whoever buys that\kind of flour pays regular “flour prices" for this foul stuff that is ground up with the wheat and detracts from the quality of the flour. We've been making FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR for more than 47 years. We've established a reputation for QUALITY, PURITY and CLEANLINESS that is a valuable asset to this business, and we cannot afford to do one single thing that would detract from that repu- We feel- that every person who uses FRENCH’S WHITE LILY­ FLOUR is entitled to a good, clean, pure product, and thnt i* what we give them.

Notice the solid steel lug on the door. When the door is closed t{iis lug fits into a slot on the door post. It is held firmly in place within the slot by means of two heavy pieces of metal. This device holds the door rigid—prevents its rattling no matter how rough the roads and also prevents wear in the tongue of the lock—a characteristic occurence when the door is held closed only by the lock itself. This is a feature on all Buick closed cars. Buick Sixes Buick Fours Ser,n i J. S. Reisinger Hastings and Woodland. Hastings Phone 2468 WHI N BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT. BUICK WILL BUILD THEM Mind you this car has no period of vibration. You might doubt thdt statemerit at first but it’s a fact and here’s why. The crankshaft of the Rickenbacker motor is provided with a double flywheel—one fore and one aft. The introduction of these two flywheels absolutely eliminates all vibration at all speeds. Thus you are given an entirely new riding sensation which you have never experienced before. ■ . Come in and let us explain. $1485 $1885 Chas. E.

This Occasion Will Be of Real Interest and Great Value to You Of the many grades of pineapple to be canned, only tbe highest grades, ripest and that of richest flav­ or is used for the Richelieu product. ' The packing is done in the Hawaiian Islands, right where the fruit is grown, so the canning can be ac­ complished on the day the fruit is ready for packing. In a No. 2»size can there are 8 rich, thick slices. The sugar is added in the processing to the point of richest flavor, not to the point of ovey saturation, yet the resulting syrup is a very heavy one. There is nothing finer than the juicy, thick slices of Richelieu Pineapple. Special prices will prevail. A LITTLE HEN SttlRY. Mr*.

Because of Gluten bread can be raised by yeast. The Gluten is an elastic, tenacious substance that holds the gas when it is formed by the action of the yeast on the sugar. It forms the sus­ taining walls of the whole cellular structure of the loaf. It gives bread its lightnesk, its moisture and its porosity, and upon these characteristics depend*-tfie perfect ease of digestibility of brqad. Owing to its open nature, its disintegration is practically complete before mastication, and the digestive juicys/ran penetrate to its inner­ most particles. Goo<j bread is 100% digestible nnd 100% is absorbed. Heavy foods, hard to digest, rich in protein, leave a residue that the body must get rid of. A difficult load is thrown on the liver, kidneys and heart. Thruout life man enn lighten the work of the body by eating more bread, the easy-to-digest food. WHEATHEART Bread isrifide from high Gluten Flours ajid other easily digested ingredients. For your stomach's sake try a loaf. STAR BAKERY COMPANY Hastings, Michigan this eorning week-yet. Bev. 8. <1.

Since you can’t see it, you want to be all the more certain what’s there. And the chances are you’ll buy from the manufacturer in whom you have the greatest confidence. Studebaker’s reputation for fine coach work was established in your grand­ father’s time. This LlGHT-SlX Sedan body is built complete in Studebaker plants and is as good as the chassis. It will last, without rattles or squeaks, as long as the chassis—and that’s longer than the‘average life of many other cars. There’s nothing flimsy about this body. It has a sturdy frame-work of selected ash, the best lumber for the purpose that can be bought Elight stout ash pillars, running from floor to roof, insure permanent strength and rigidity which means freedom, from body rattles. The joints of the steel panels of the outer surface are perfectly welded. Doors are hung with great precision—open freely and close with a sound of finality. Windows open without binding, yet are so firmly set that they are rattle-proof. And unless you choose a Sedan with the quietness and flexibility of the LlGHT-SlX motor you will be disappointed.

There i» probably more Mfal*e'economy” practiced in buying flour than in buying almost any other food product. Some­ times people get the idea that they are saving a few cents by buying a sack of flour that costs a little less than FRENCH’S WHITE LILY. But when they uae the ordinary flour they invariably get poorer bakings and often have to thrqw some of them away. Every pound of flour thrown away increases the cost of the flour just that much. And in all bakings thrown away you lose not only the COST of the flour, but all the hard work involved in preparing it. Now if you are one of those who have been “experimenting,” or buying flour that may cost yoji a few pennies less per sack, you are having baking troubles. You will eventually come back to the ‘“Old Reliable” FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR that you F3NOW is AL­ WAYS GOOD and that you can always DEPEND UPON, because you have found that “experimenting” with flour is EXPENSIVE. . We are extremely particular about the manufacture of FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR, because we make it for particular people. There is nothigv^-*' woman should take more pride in than her baking. To have the reputation of being A “Splendid Cook” is a distinction that every woman covets. But such a reputation cannot be built up when she is provided with flour of poor quality, from which “good bakings” are an impossibility ' We INVITE YOU to test FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR in any way you like—for color, flavor, texture or purity. If you do not like it as well OR BETTER than any other flour you have ever used remember you can return it to your grocer or elevator man and get your “money back.” You will flqd our GUARANTEE printed on EVERY SACK. We are pleased to give this GUARANTEE because FRENCH S WHITE LILY FLOUR is meeting the most exacting requirements^ of the most particular housewives in Barry County, in Michigan, and tn m any of the outside states. Bread, bircuits, cakes, cookies and pies, baked from FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR are light, tender, flaky and in every way healthful and appetizing. They are never soggy and heavy, nor sour and unhealthy. Every Grocer and Elevator Man in Barry (Zounly sells FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. Why not buy a sack of it and give it a good, fair trial? You will find it will solve your baking troubles, and that it will be by far the best and most economical flour you ever used. Why not order a sack today? .'

But yon eould not pick out any particular spot and ear “On this side there nrc wave* visible, and on tho other side they are not visible!” There is mueh the same situation in receiving wireless messages with thl* important difference—the distance at which message* aro audiblo depend* tp a great extent on the renaitivene** of the receiving instrument. Because at this faet, k concert entirely in­ audible on one receiving sot might be rcry elearly heard by nmrthcr. ?For example, the concerts sent out from Newark, N. J. are quite plainly Iward by abnw radio amateurs in Cleve­ land, Ohio, and not heard at ail by others. •While part of tho difference is due ta tho different “hook up*” jired, the degree of amplifies!ion* employed, and tho sensitiveness of tho phones, a great deal of it is in the battcric* employed to supply current to the set. . .Because of the great importance of the battery in thl* field, there have been special type* of batteries built, lighting of Pullman ear*.

This Willys-Knight motor actually improves—grows more powerful with use—a quality which distin­ guishes- it from all other motors. It requires no adjustments. It is more flexible—and it always oper­ ates quietly. It ia more powerful than any other motor of equal size, and because of this, the Willys-Knight car con­ sumes less gasoline than any other car of equal power and weight. These important advantages added to the beauty, economy, road comfort and extraordinary long life of the Willya-Knight car explain the enthusiasm of- more than 50,000 owners.

C. student* from the Educational Dejxrthu-nt’ visited Has­ tings High school on Friday. Regular meeting of the Horosis Lit­ erary Hoeiety was held Monday even­ ing in Room 11. Each member waa al­ lowed'to bring a guest so that as many 'girls aa possible might participate in the instructive meeting. Tho subject was “Colleges” and some very fine re­ ports wore given. The program was aa follows:^ Oberlin College—Miss Van Raalte. University of Michigan—Kathryn,' Clarke. Wellesley—Miss Marsh. Now England Conservatory of Musle—Miss Lois Maekoy. I Little did the members of the High School Press Staff know what an in­ teresting time was in store for them when they ventured forth In two ear­ loads for Grand Rapids Wednesday afternoon. While other less fortunate students walked with forlorn faces to the flora rooms the Pres* Staff st a dents left the school building to en­ joy the afternoon visiting the'Grand Rapids Press plant. When Are reached our destination we went up to the main office and there met the managing editor, who very kindly offered to show us through the institution. Be took us into the Club room where hr gave ns a short talk on thn work of the various reporters and then wo went through the plant. First wo inspected the two nresses, United and Associated Press. These machines which bring messages from all over tho world <rere very interesting and gave us all a chance to ask many questions. From kora we passed into the “Morgue”, a room in which is kept all pictures of various place* and im­ portant people from yean baek to be used when needed. Among the many 'of Hastings and also of.our own High school. The Company room wa* anoth­ er place of vital interest, where they demonstrated the work of the linotype machines for our benefit. Here Julia Meta Arnold had plenty of chance to ask quest ions, Veta Annbruster, in her qntet way, did n great deal of Investi­ gating. Betty Osborn and Margaret Youug had u fine chanccjo pry into all corners, and Richard Tore! stood back with a sly smile, dreaming of the dav when be should l>c “running a paper*’ while Mis* Robson nnd Miss Van Raaltc tried to suppress their curiosity and appear like dignified chaperones. In tne next room was the stupendous Gora Printing Frees, a big machine on which the paper is printed. On thi* press 3fi,000 papers are printed, eut, and folded in nn hour. The people of the Press plant we found also, have very big hearts for they provide for their newsies a fine, large swimming pool and a big audi­ torium whieji scats 900 youngsters. Here on Runday afternoon, the boy* arc entertained with a “Happy Hour.” We were however, very mueh disap­ pointed not to be there when the pa­ pers were going to press, but we may have the splendid importunity of going again sometime. However Grand Rap­ id* has many place* for amusement nnd we managed to round out tho day with plenty of good times In more than one way. If you don't believe it, just ask any member of the staff.

BAKE BREAD LIKE MOTHER USED TO MAKE, AFTER A LITTLE PRACTICE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE BETTER BREAD ---- POTATO YEAST BREAD—Three medium sized potatoes, 2 table­ spoons flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon lard, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 quart boiling water. Put sugar, lard and salt in a mixing bowl, put the cooked mealy potaoea in hot and mash all together; stir in flour and add tho quart of boiling, waieralowly, stirring until smooth; when cool.or Juke warm add 1-2 cake of Yeast Foam. This is sufficient yeast for warm weather. In cold weather use a whole yeast cake. Make this at noon and let stand until morning. Then stir thick with flour, let get light, and then stir stiff with flour and knead well for ten or fifteen minutes, or until the dough does not stick to the board. Let rise again, then make into four bar loaves, let rise again until double in size; put in hot oven to bake, bake one hour, reducing heat of oven to finish baking. . PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. BAKING POWDER BISCUIT GOOD WITH HONEY, MOLASSES OR GRAVY TWO CUPS FLOUR, FOUR TEASPOONS BAKING POWDER, ONE TEASPOON SALT, • ONE TABLESPOON LARD, ONE TABLESPOON BUTTER, THREE-FOURTHS CUP MILK AND WATER, IN EQUAL PARTS. LEVEL MEASURE. Mix dry ingredients; sift twice. Work in butter and lard with tips of fingers; add gradually the liquid, mixing with knifq to a soft dough, it is impossible to tell exact amount of liquid, so use own judgment. Toss on a floured board, pat and roll lightly to one-half inch in thickness. Shape with a biscuit cutter. Place on a buttered pan and bake in hot oven twelve to fifteen minutes. If baked in too slow an oven the gas will escape before it has done its work. FRENCH’S FLOUR “MAKES GOOD COOKS” The Middleville Koller Mills Middleville, R. T. French <5, Sons, Props.

The marvelous brilliance, beauty and durability of Chi-Namel Finishes, is due to the large amount of a remarkable Water-Proof, Self-Leveling Chinese Oil, which we import from China at great expense and subject to many expensive processes by our original and secret method of its adaptation to these exquisite Chinese Oil Finishes. One test of Chi-Namel Finishes, upon your Floors, Woodwork or Furniture wall confirm their sheer merit, which has earned their enormous sale at home and abroad, since their introduction 17 years ago. _._ They are the easiest for amateur or .profession­ al painters to apply, because they are Self-Leveling, hence leave No Laps or Brush Marks. They are the most economical of all finishes, on account of their greater covering capacity and greater durability. Chi-Nameled Floors, Furniture and Woodwork, can be washed in hot or cold water, never crack, chip or show white scratches and never show heel marks, even the sharp blow of a hammer which will dent the wood, will not injure these tough, elastic, brilliant and beautiful Chinese Oil Finishes. ’ ‘ Chb-Namel Products are sold on our Money-Back Guarantee of satisfaction.

Mrs. Housewife:— Are you one of the many busy housewives who hates to have wash-day come? Is Monday drudge-day around your house? Or do you send your washings out? • If your answer to any of these questions is in the af­ firmative, it will pay you well to visit our office and let us show you the wonderful advantages of the SUNNY­ SUDS. " Sunnysuds is conducive to sunny dispositions. The drudgery of wash-day disappears with the entrance of Sunnysuds into your home. Do you know that you can take the money that you are paying someone else to do your washings and by applying it, in small payments, have a Sunnysuds? The money that you ordinarily pay out in eight or ten months for hiring washings done will entirely pay for a Sunnysuds. This machine will not wear out in a little while but will last for a number of years. Do you not think that this investment would be showing a prudent application of THRIFT?

It con­ stitutes the largest and most important market for petroleum products on the American continent To win such a market, to gain the confidence, and enjoy the respect of this buying public Ira task worth while. To achieve this objective, to merit the confidence of its patrons, and to be prepared at all times to aerve them, has been for many years the dominat­ ing idea of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). To make its service more comprehensive it manu­ factures special grades of its products to meet special requirements. For example, take gasoline. Under this general head come fifteen different products, each made with scientific precision to meet a specifics welldefined need. For the motorist the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) makes Red Crown Gasoline. This product is made for the sole purpose of generating power in the modem internal combustion engine. It has a chain of boiling point fractions carefully adjusted and graduated with actentific exactness to enable you to get from your engine all the power it can develop. In attacking the problem of supplying motor gasoline for 30 million people, three main points were considered— Firit — Quality: The gasoline must function perfectly: to do this nothing short of scientific pre­ cision is sufficient. Second - Quantity: To meet the ever-grow­ ing demands for motor fuel, the yield of gasoline must be great if the cost is to be kept down. Third—Distribution: To make it easy .far the consumer, wherever he may live, to secure 1 gallon or 1000 gallons of gasoline, whenever he may need it. T In Red Crown Gasoline is symbolized the ideals animating the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Red Crown is highly efficient — it is produced in large quantities, and •old at a price that is fair to all. Red Crown has achieved leadership by rendering • maximum of service juat as the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) haa become a leader in the industry by rendering a definite, positive, essential service. It is by such standards that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) measures its usefulness, and by maintaining such standards it intends to con­ tinue this leadership by meriting the confidence and respect of the public it serves. dard Oil Company (Mi-eJ * J Michigan Ave., Chicago sing took dinner at Myron Pnrkinsoa's Sunday.

Inasmuch as thia ia Clinton county's turn to name the candidate for state senator, there will probably be no oth­ er candidate against Mr. Hunter, unles* the name of some other man from Clinton county should be presented.

Hon. C. C. Vaughan, of St. Johns, filled tho office for one term, nnd then was elected Secretary of State. Hon. W. M.

WED KEMPAY, MARCH SB, im SUDDEN PASSING OF THOMAS SULLIVAN OoatUuid from flrat pogo. elected to the office of Justice of the Peace of Irving township. In this way ho became interested In the study of law. JU came to Hosting* and con­ sulted. wpk Clement Smith and P. T. Colgfovt, jrbo encouraged him, and be began’ hu studies in tho law office of Smith, MMfrovu in thi* eity, arid pur­ sued them-ao *ucec**fully that he was »oon admitted to tho bar of Barry county, passing a very creditable ex­ amination. He opened a law office in Freeport. Soon after thnt he was elected prose­ cuting attorney of Barry county, nnd moved to this city where ho hod si nee resided. He wn* a bard worker, a care­ ful reasoqer. the possessor of an honest mind, andejovi-d the law and was al­ ways « devoted student. Notwithstand­ ing his meager school advantage*, ho became a fljicnt speaker, a very cffcctlrs advoonte and a succssful lawyer. HI* |>ractice grew steadily until ha had become a recognized leader of the bar in IhlxStounty and circuit, nod was ^li^ely known as one of the be»t law­ yer* of thia section of Michigan. Had ho been so disposed, ho might hare gained a considerablo fortune from hi* practice. BuTmany more time* his advice and counsel“were given free than charged for, just because ho seemed io fool that money-making was nn incidental feature; that service was first, nnd it seemed to be a real pleasure for- him when ho could accommodate »otac one with advice and counsel who might have paid for it but Mr. Sullivan felt ho eonlan’t afford to, and so made no charge. When he began a case, or drafted papers, nr did anything that required a considerable lookihg-tip of authorities, he would charge for it. But few would believe fhe number of peo|>lo to whom Mr. Sullivan rendered a real sonic* through his profession, but would aceqpt 'no pay for so doing. He settled more eases than he ever tried, when it wotald have meant far more pay to him to 1st them come to trial. Not a few home* in Barry county are homes yt< through Mr. Sullivan’s good offices in gHting’iiusband and wife together, and tndunc them to forget their dif­ ferences. In many a neighborhood there is peace today, because one of the parties to a quarrel came to Mr. Sulli­ van, and he got the folks together and induced them to shake hands and quit their quarreling. But he would never compromise n principle of right for anybody, And alien it was necessary to have a legal battle he fought har’d and to tho last ditch, and.yot he alway* fought fairly. While he wns n .resident of Freeport, ho joined the I. O. Q. F. lodge there and retained hi* membership in that lodge ns long as he lived. He wa* n member of Barn- lodge K. of P.

Its use on the powerful aeroplanes and motor boats still fur­ ther emphasizes this fact. The Valve-in-Head engine is more closely associated with Nash-built cars than with any others manufac­ tured. In perfecting the Valve-in-Head. Nash has given it even greater power by enlarging and straightening the gas passages from carburetor to cyl­ inders and providing a higher valve lift. Greater Endurance is achieved through uniform hardness of cylin­ der walls. The Nash organization mixes its own metals in its own foun­ dry, by its own process—and every mixture is accurately tested. $1390 never before purchase^ a car at once so powerful, so comfortable and so beautiful. See it and drive it today. $985 The New Low Price of NASH FOUR Here is a big, handsome car of 112inch wheelbase. The beauty of its slim, graceful, straight-line body is emphasized by the low set of the top. tilted wind­ shield, and deep Nash blue finish. The Nash Perfected Valve-in-Head Motor is widely famous for is power and flexibility. The larger passages from carburetor to cylinders and the •higher valve set mean quick clear­ ance of btirnt gases, clean burning of fuel, great power and extreme econ­ omy. Comfdrt is an outstanding attribute of this great car, as you will recog­ nize when you ride in it. Observe how each bump and jar is easily absorbed. For ninety inches of spring length protect you from the unevenness of roads. Examine the interior of both front and rear compartments—the unusu­ al roominess such as you lopk for in cars costing hundreds .more. Arrange for a demonstration.

BDV III Ml Coulinucd from first peg*. ■•nt to and held nn U Manila. WbW you writ® again—which 1 hope you will do soon—bo »ure to add re »» mo Guam, Island of Guam, Caro Poatmaater, Ban Francisco. Wc are on tho diroet Bail­ ing route between San Franciaco, Hon­ olulu and Manila, o*ida from tho regu­ lar monthly Army trenaport wo have -two navy tranaporta making thia run. It has been to long ainro I have writ­ ten or heard from you that I hardly know whore to begin. But in tho first place I want you to know how. exceed­ ingly pleased I was to hoar from you people again. Tho principal reason you have not heard from ma is tho faqt that after I had beod in tho Philippines for some time I wrote you a long letter telling you about tho country and my work. Aa I recall thia waa sometime during 1911 or 1012. To this letter I never reoeivnd a reply. I realize now that tho letter or your reply may have gone astray and that I. should have written you again. Now that I have the opportunity J want to. tell you how much I feel that I am indebted to you people for the trailing and environment whieh you gave me during the period I lived at your home. I was with the Bureat^of Agriculture during the entire lime I wns in the Philippines. Tha first year or so. I waa on field work when I was called in and made Assistant Chief of the Animal Husbandry Division and a short time after was rondo Chief of tho di­ vision which position I hold until I left the islands. As you know I re­ turned to tho States in 1016 visiting my people in July of that year. I was greatly disappointed in not seeing you (you.wnro in the north on vacation). I thought of you often and look for­ ward to seeing you all again with fond anticipation. It seemed good to get back home once more, although *1 had but a short stay. Nover will I forget however, just as things appeared to mo before I left. I can’t say I wan disappointed but I did sort of expect to see a now Michigan Central depot. I do bellova the same old stove was in the waiting room, the ono I used to hover round while waiting for tho train back to Lansing, during my good old college days. As the afternoon train pulled in J fully-expected to see Hank Barnaby walking down from the Parker House, his well trained bay horse earning down the street with tho baggage truck. As I wandered round visiting old scenes with a flood of returning memories ! could not restrain a feeling of sorrow for the good, forever gone, golden yeaterdays. I lift Ban Francisco in July, spent two weeks in Hawaii nnd, urnvod ' in Guam tho latter part of August and here I have been since that date. I was married to Miss Frances D. Gale, a Navy Corps nurse, on duty here at tho station hospital, in April 1018. Wc have two children, Edwin age three and Richard Henry ago two years. We are quite comfortably situated so far as living conditions out this way are concerned. We live in tho station residence, a bungalow located on an elevation so that we generally get a good breeze add wc have a wonderful view of tho hills. Inland and the shore and ocean in the foreground. Guam is n most beautiful little island and health conditions are better than in most parts of tho tropics. For diver­ sions wo go on hikes, swim, auto, ride horseback and attend naval station parties and other functions. However, in time (especially nfter five years or so) tho monotony gets burdensome. Previous t'o 1917 the navy maintained a station stiipYiero which made business and health tripe regularly to Japan, China and the Philippines. This ad­ dition is greatly needed and although tho Governor has requested sueh a ship may times, for somo reason it is not furnished. We feel tho need of a va­ cation at present but don’t know when wc will be able to get away. My rtbrk hero is very interesting but tho station is held down to so small nn appropriation (the result of Guam TROUSERS SPRING NOT JUST A FEW— One of the largest stocks of High Grade Trousers in the importance and progress of our work or he would not have taken the action that ho did. I have never been able to secure the name of the individ­ ual in question and would bo grateful for the infdbmation. In connection with our work people arc prone to consider the size of the island but the results of our experi­ ments .pre not only applicable through­ out the tropics but also to a certain degree to a part of the southern states. This station, with tho exception of tho two above mentioned years, ha* been kept at the original appropriation of 115,000. Every other insular station wa* increased from the very first. Thi* amount allows for only two white men on the staff. The salaries alone of a proper number on the staff would re­ quire tho total appropriation. If wo haven’t sufficient- funds for staff and working operation* it is impossible to put out many specific publication* and without tho publications tho conclusion is liable to bo that the amount of work being done J* not sufficient to warrant nn increase of funds. In no other in- duced ones o certain appropriation wns secured. You can imagine the difficulty of tha. situation if wo orc confronted from vear to year with the probability of n reduction ns our plan of contiguous operations is based upon tho present appropriation and new work upon tho increase that may bq requested. Wo are not allowed to solicit political influence in connection with our work but nnv fnvofli in this direction arc most highly appreciated. 1 wa* very sorry Indeed to learn of the Judge’« iUnCM of some timo ago The new spring mode in Suits, Coats and Dresses TAKE great pleasure in announcing the Printzess Style Revue, the of March 20th to 25th.

Either one singles out Prest-O-Lite from other batteries. Combined they make it a battery value without a rival. Money-Saving Figures S Prest-O-Lite Batteries represent the greatest value in years. Consider that you can buy* a regular Prest-O-Lite Battery for popular makes of light cars for $19.90 (trade-in price). Here arc other outstanding values: $24.50 (trade-in price) for a 6-volt type serving ’’ BUICK UAXWKU. OAKLAND HUDSON CHANDLEK ’ ES3XX 12-volt type at $32.30 (trade-in price) that serves MAXWELL DODGE FRANKLIN There are simitar reductions orf“ every Prest-O-Lite Battery, and Prest­ O-Lite builds a correct type of bat­ tery for every make of motor car and truck. Yea, With PREST-O-PLATES These are not special models. They are top-quality Prest-O-Lites, with the famous Prest-O-Plates. Prest-O-Plates are as different from ordinary battery plates as gold is from gilt. They coinbinc unusual hard­ ness with a-peculiar porosity. None of the old plate compromise between hardness and porosity. Prest-O-Plates have both. This explains their ready depend­ able reserve power in biting xero weather, and their non-buckling, heat-resisting strength in summer. Experts say that they are the world's best battery plate, and this is the same as saying that Prest-O-Lite is the world’s bestjiattery. For the life of a battery is in the plates. You never need a new bat­ tery until the plates in your'old bad. As long as you have live plates, you have a battery. Doubly Guaranteed And every part of a Prest-O-Litc Battery is worthy, in material and workmanship, of Prest-O-Plates. That is why 87 leading manufac­ turers specify Prest-O-Lite as original equipment, and "the list is growing.” Every Prest-O-Lite is backed by the regular Prest-O-Lite guaranty, a definite obligation, plus a spirit that says the car owner must be pleased. Use PREST-O-IJTE Service It is our business, as part of Prest­ O-Lite Service, the oldest- organised service to motorists, to carry out this spirit; and to see that you get every bit of life out of a Prest-O-Lite Battery.

A distinctive feature in the construc­ tion of Syracuse Spring Tooth Lever Har­ rows is that the frame between the sec­ * tions has a small opening In front which becomes wider towards the rear. All loading or choking at this point is thus absolutely prevented. Furthermore, the frames are raised slightly at the rear inner ends, and the teeth are spaced so that trash naturally works towards the center and out through the opening. Teeth are instantly adjusted by means of convenient levers to meet different soil conditions, or so that the harrow will rest upon the runners when being transported. Frame Construction—Syracuse Spiring Tooth Harrow frames and tooth barn-are made of channel and angle bar steel of from 40 to 50 points carbon. The frame is given great strength without disturb­ ing the elasticity of the bars. Bent End Tooth Bar*—The tooth bars are bent at the ends and attached to brackets above the frame. This provides an unusually high lift and gives the best possible position of the teeth for extreme penetration; that is, the points of the teeth at any angle present the correct penetrating position, regardless of whether teeth are new or partly worn out. The tooth bars being two inches high­ er than on other makes of harrows pro­ vides greater clearance between them and the ground. TheV are out of the way of litter and obstructions when har­ row is being moved on its runners. ANOTHER SPECIAL! 22-in. Crusader Hand Saw, made of crucible steel.

Recent patents cover all the latest improvements. The old fashioned turn screws have been com­ bined into a single freely swinging handle that controls the pressure of the 12-inch tough rubber rolls. As a result, the pressure can be evenly and accurately applied for heavy and light work,,the rolls last longer, and the clothes are properly dried. This same handle acts ns an instantaneous pressure release. A sharp tap will cause the rolls to fly apart, making bunched clothes or pinched fingers impossible. This wringer is cast solidly out of fine light aluminum, the wringer frame has no wooden parts to warp or peel or give off splinters. Even the extra long reversible drain board is metal. (In fact, every part of the entire machine is metal except the board that the motor sets on and this is wood, so as to reduce noise.) The original beauty of the SUNNYSUDS wringer will never disappear. For water will neither stain nor rust it and soap stains come off with a damp cloth. All gears are, of course, enclosed for safety’s sake. . Call and Bee this wonderful all-metal sure-action washer and wringer; have one sent to your home for a trial and if, after trying it, you are not entirely satisfied with the results call us up and we will come and get it just-as gladly as we took it there. No questions asked. That tells you what we think of the SUNNYSUDS. Remember that this machine is “as good as any; better than many," and that when a better machine is made to sell for less than $100.00 SUNNYSUDS wilt lead the way.

Their Township officials had always possessed a plat of the cemetery whieh showed the location and ownership of each lot aa do moat cemeteries. But the map prepared by Mr. Reed .doe* much more than that; it ahow* the lo­ cation of eaeh grave on every lot and has given a number to each grave while the sections are designated by letter*. Accompanying tho man is a directory in which is recorded the name of tho person whoso number and section cor­ respond to similar ones on the map. By this means a valuable record of tho person* interred in Danby cemetery ia established. • . Mr. Refid made his map on a smooth sheet of white bristol board and with the aid of colored crayon* and u>k mado it a verjr artistic piece of work. It is purposed to have a number of tho directories printed for distribu­ tion among the members of the panby Cemetery Boeiety, believing it no long­ er wise to have this knowledge in the posaearion of ono person or family. This gives a suggestion that many cemetery associations in Barry county might do well to act upon. With the death or change of sextons of long years of service much knowledge con­ cerning the location of certain graves is lost. Sometime* whole families oats away; graves are unmarked, and their location, in years to come, is a matter of conjecture. The old generation is passing and while members arc yet living.who can give the information, a map or at least a dlrectqry whieh should be in poisesrion of more than one person is a wise thing to prepare.

Put sugar, lard and salt in a mixing bowl,' put the cooked mealy poiaoes in hot and mash 'all together; stir in flour and add the quart of boiling water slowly, stirring until smooth; when cool or luke warm add 1-2 cake of Yeast Foam. Thia is sufficient yeast for warm weather. In cold weather‘um a whole yeast cake. Make this at noon and let stand until morning. Then stir thick with flour, let get light, and then stir stiff with flour and knead well for ten or fifteen minutes, or until the dough does not stick to the board. .• Let rise again, then make into four bar loaves, let rise again until double in size; put in hot oven to bake, bake one hour, reducing heat of oven to finish baking.

Why Is Chiropractic the Safest Method for the Patient? Stimulation of an over stimulated organ is dangerous. The Chiropractor is safeguarded against this by the fact that an adjustment is always followed by nor­ mal action of the nerves. Nature never makes a mistake. WE HAVE A REPUTATION FOR GOOD SEEDS and we want to keep it. The seeds we sell have been tested and show about 100% in germin­ ation and 99% in purity and no better seeds can be bought than we can furnish you. Don’t be persuaded to buy some “cheap-job lot” of seeds, for good seeds are very impor­ tant. When you know you have seeds with a tested germination you know you are not going to have to replant your fields and have a late, or half yield crop. We urge you to call or phone at once about your farm seeds. Finally, and most important of all, Chiropractic is safest for the patient whose disease is dangerous, because it offers the surest chance of recovery. To select the wrong method and waste precious time in finding out the mistake has sometimes permitted disease to make such inroads on health that the case passed beyond hope of recovery before the necessary spinal adjustment has been made. Since Chiropractic is the safe way, why not use “Safety First? F. C. HINKLEY, D. C. CHIROPRACTOR Poatoffice Bldg., Hastings, Mich. Phone 2483 CAREY U.

EFINING crude petroleum to produce a t multiplicity of useful products is a highly The refining of gasoline and the manufacture of lubricating oils each require special treatment Motor lubricants are made from specially seteeted crude and the portions of such crude best adapted for high quality motor oils are extracted during the first operations of refining. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of its achievements; proud of its enviable record as a manufacturer of gasoline, and equally proud of its record as a manufacturer of lubricants for all types and classes of machinery. During 1921 nearly 25 million gallons of Polarine, the perfect motor oil, were manufactured and sold. This enormous gallonage went to the consumer with the unquaufied guarantee of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)- that no better lubricant for an internal combustion engine could be made. Lubricating oil is the most vital factor in con­ serving your car investment In making definite recommendations for lubricating your car this Com­ pany realizes the importance to you. and to itself, of knowing exactly what each machine requires. The responsibility of the Standard Oil Company, Indiana) is emphasized when you Consider that in the territory served there are more than 3 mil­ lion automotive vehicles under registration. These machines represent a total investment of more than 2 billion dollars. Every drop of motor oil manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is made io meet definite requirements worked out in the Company’s laboratories by skilled chemists, refiners and lubri­ cating engineers who have given careful study to the technical problems and their practical appli­ cation under working conditions, which the oil must meet. It fa because they have given such painstaking at­ tention to every detail of manufacture and appli­ cation that the Company has been able to produce Polarine, the perfect motor oil. It fa this painstaking attention to every detail, in every branch of its business, that has made this Company a leader in the industry. It fa by such sustained, conscientious, enthusiastic effort, to keep faith with its patrons, that this Company has won the confidence, esteem and res­ pect of the public it serves.

THEY QUIT SELLING WALKER PRODUCTS Last week a couple of young fellows from Grand Rapids were selling W. & H, Walker toilet soaps, fnco powders, per­ fumes, etc., from houso to house, and playing upon tho charitable ineliaationi of people by saying that 10 per cent of the salen went to maintain the Sewickley Homo for Crippled Children In Pennsylvania. In order to substantiate what they said the young uten produced a large pamphlet showing pictures of eripplod children, and the purchasers were ted to believe that 10 per cent of their purchases went to help support these cripples. Way down at the bottom of the pamphlet, however, in am*ll type, was a statement that W. & H. Walker would pay 10 per cent of - all sales "after all expenses were paid." Complaint was made to tho ahoriff about the statements of the young men, who were picked up, taken to jail and questioned. They admitted that the whole thing <wa» a scheme to play upon the charitable impulses of people; that they retained 35 per eent ot-all the sale* they made, sent the balance in to some agent in Grand Rapids, who perhaps deducted his commission be­ fore eendipg the money in to headquar­ ters. What the Home for Crippled Children received they did not know, and evidently were not at all concerned about. 4 The two young fellows, aged 10 and 21, were good, respeefabla appearing young men, told everything without reservation, and were not arrested. They quit selling at once and returned to Grand Rapid*. This gag of selling Walker products for tho benefit of some Home for Crip­ pled Children seems to be worked by different ganga. flnly a couple of weeks ago the Otsego Union told of n man selling Walker products in that vieinity and stating that a certain per eent would go to the Farmington Home for Crippled Children. The safe way is to give assistance in nd way to strangers. Your home deal­ ers can supply you, save you money, and relievo you of that mean fooling that you have been "buncoed."

Although he was only seven years old when be enme to this country, he has distinct recollections of some inci­ dents that happened, in England—chief of which i* having seen Queen Victoria when she was touring certain of her English village* before ascending tho throne. Her carriage drawn by six horse* nnd flanked by mounted guard* passed the Episcopal church where ho attended, school. It wwa surrounded with a low wall, and bo remembers his mother lifting him up to sit on its ledge m> that he might get a glimpse of the fair-haired young girl of medium size who sal by her mother’* ride, and - smiled and bowed to them as sho passed along. There was a free lunch at tho village afterward, and his mother im­ pressed on him how hy must always re­ member he had seen England’s queen. It was in 1830 that hi* parent* deelded to conio to America, and engaged passage in a sailing vessel. . He remem­ bers the embarkation and many inci­ dents and perilous journey ------ of tho ..... long ...... of ten weeks Vfery distinctly. They boarded the tho boat at nt Ixindon^ Ixindon on the* tho Thame* river and proceeded down tn Woolrich where they took on freight and rnoto passengers, and Anally hoisted sails about three I*. M. one afternoon in the early spring. His oldest brother, the only member of tho family to re­ main behind, was on tho wharf with hla sweetheart to bid them goodbye, and hollered he .would join them when a bridge was built across. They struck out boldly with a good breeze filling tho sails, but 3 P. M. tho next morning found them back al their starting place, owing to contrary winds, which shows the slowness and uncertainty of ocean travel in those days. There was n company of soldier* aboard the small vessel, they were noi*y and it was greatly overcrowded. Pigs, sheen, cattle and chickens, were kept on the upper deck to furnish food as needed. They encountered a big storm and for two days and two nights tho hatches were down and no one but the sailor* allowed on deek. It was a try­ ing time; some prayed and sotno sworo while they were nt the mercy of the waves. The incident of the journey that stands out the most vividly of all however, was the death of his two year old baby brother William and his burial ■t sea, sewed in an oil doth, and the body dropped overboard as someone said a prayer. It was a trying trip over for the mother surely, for beside the grief _1 ... 1 —1 Case, and Mr. Qunlfe thinks some of that family still have it in their pos­ session. Hero the family lived the life of the early pioneer in Michigan; working hard for everything they got, but hapKand contented for everyone else cd the same kind of life. Their good times cainc when n| the end of n long day some one would hitch to a hay­ rack nnd piek up n load as they went along, no telephones of course, or mes­ senger to tel) you to be ready; when tho load stopped, everyone piled in just ns they were, and went to someone's home for n long evening of fun nnd visiting. The Indian* were numerous around Bedford. Onee when Mr. Quaifc was working in the harvest field his oldest sister enrne crying out that an Indian was trying to kill their father. It proved to be one known as “Drunken jonn- , who occamc very ugiy wucu under the influence of liquor, as he wa* ia. t.t. in .v:this .... case. At hl* request he had been given focal, complained about it, and when hi* father refused any more, he took out a knife. John camo to hi* assistance with a big piece of wood from tho ox-*hed, his brother appeared from another quarter with a gun, and the ugly Indian wa* finally subdued. The Indians used to ramp along Bnseoin creek in the winter-and trap and go in to Battle Creek in tho spring and sell tho akin*. Ono night Mr. Quaifc said ho was aroused by hi* father calling him to get up that the house was on fire; he opened hi* eye* to discover the room illuminated with a bright light. An examination proved, however, that tho Indians returning from Battle Crock, had built a huge tiro of logs, and were singing and dancing after tholr return from tho Creek'where they had disposed of their winter’s bounty, and probably bad been Imbibing “fire-wa­ ter” a* part of tho celebration. Wheat at that time brought 40 and 45 cent* a bushel, and fat hogs 2 1-2 to 3 cent* a pound. . While a young man Mr. Quaifc learned the painter'* trade at Battle Creek and worked in tho Mapc* & Parmelee Carriage shop, receiving $50 for hl* first year’s work; <75 for the saeond; nnd |100 for tho third year, later going into outdoor painting be­ cause of his health. That Mr. Quaifc in his long years of life, only ten from the hundred mark, hasn’t forgotten boyhood pranks, is evidenced by tho relish with which he told of an Incident that happened in his appronticoship days. Tho shop in which they worked overlooked a garden, in which grow some fine looking citron; a Dutch boy working with them, with a penchant for stealing, couldn’t bo happy for longing for them, thinking they were watermelon*, but didn’t want to do the job alone, so finally Mr. Quaife volun­ teered to see him through. They got away with six, tho Dutch boy having four to hi* credit, and his" mouth water­ ing as they retired to a private spot to enjoy the feast. He eagerly cut the first, giving an exclamation of disgust ■ and when they landed in Canada at Bytown, near Ottawa, in the early sum­ mer she had to be carried out and lay on tho bedding until quarters were found. An incident of tho landing that remains with him ws* finding straw­ berries in a cemetery near the dock nnd of tho children* eagerly gathering them, and of an'Irishman, who saw them, hollering, “It's tho juieo of tho dead: it will kill you; it will kill you,” but bo added, “it didn’t prevent us from finishing our feast.” ■The terrible cold of their first win­ ter in Canada, decided his father to move and the family settled at Pal­ myra, N.

From his standpoint, he wa* deeply in­ terested in this aueetlon because ho wanted to make this his future home. Ho then jnade many comparisons of things to bo desired in the ptmfe we ‘ live in with other places he has visited, but for a combination of the desirable thing* to have and enjoy, he think* Woodland is gpod enough. “Ho then briefly outlined our proa­ ' ent school system and told why It is so and how it served tho purpose in pio­ neer days better than now1. Ho claim* that even if the district* Wanted no more taught than tho eight grades, the Townshin Unit system would bo cheap­ er, but if they wanted better ecrvlcc in tho eight grades, and tho otHcy four grade* added, they should expect to pay more than they are now paying. “In tho matter of building a now school building, his advice ia specially interesting and important. Ho told how in Illinoi* so many township* made tho mistake of building on too big and elab­ orate a scale for all practical purposes, explained how modern college build­ ing* were now being built far convnnienco and utility more than for mere shopr, or u * monument io some cer­ tain benefactor. “I* tho matter of school supervision he brought out how pupils and parent* get mkrc benefit of tho combined expericnco of from 8 to 12 teacher* in a Jownshfo unit school a* ngainst the one teacher’* experience in tho district school. Every day school probloms have to be met by the ono leather alone, usually without tho advico or consent of any one else,' while in tho larger unit, these problem* are diaeu*«d in meetings by tho whole teach­ ing force and a correct solution is gen­ erally found. . “The matter of tuition in tho future ia alsq -an important puttier to eonrider «| this ti«e. Ha sbowsd how heretofore the amount,it.. of tuition naked wan not based on actual cost per pupil, but was ablidjod as a help to pay the teacher’a eatery only. But now ajnea by attendance, the tuition will be based attenc an real eosf, and tb*e "4fevailing rates are sure to be much higher soon,’’ Thera will be a School Consoiidatiqn Round up meeting Friday afternoon hi 2 o'clock at the town houim in Wood­ land.

Townsend speaks on “What Evidence Should There Be That tie Agricultural Department Is a Center of Community Interest!” The Right Move IS SOMETIMES HARD TO MAKE If by ehauec any one had happened to go to the High school last Wednes­ day evening beyond a doubt he would have thought that by some trick of fate ho had been whisked back into ancient Roman days, for crowds of stately Romans and beautiful Roman matrons paced up and down our ven­ erable hall* of learning. But unlike the true Romans, typical Yankee lan­ guage was used, for they proved to be nothing more than the students of the Latin department. In true Roman stvle. everyone was seated at tables in a half­ ci relo formation and dinner was nerved in fashionable Roman courses. Can' you imagine anything more strange than dinner started by first nerving eggs, then with tho courses ending up with apples! As for knives, forks and such like they were completely aban­ doned and eating with our fingers held undisputed sway. As for the queer idea <>f taking off our shoes, well just ask any Latin student what he thinks about it. The tables were prettily decorated with red and yellow crepe paper with crepe paper March roses and wo charitably gave our good friend, Mr. Eleetriety, a much-deserved spring vacation, while Mr. Candle took his place. After eena, or dinner, was served, the entire company adjourned to Room 20 where tho evening's entertainment was given.

It had nil come about so suddenly that the children themselves hardly knew where they were going. Binee their father’s death two years before.

They had been scheduled to work South when suddenly mother grew nervous and pair, cancelled the Southern trip nnd raid they would go to Europe and give entertainments for the soldiers. Tho trip „,r to France was un not­ an pleasant one for the children as the soldiers proved to be a jolly lot and many pennies found their way into the three Piggly Wiggly banks in pay for the songs and dances.

How Does Chiropractic Differ From Other Methods? Chiropractic is unique and distinct from any other method. No simon pure Chiropractor uses a single method or movement taught in any other school. Its princi* pie was discovered by a layman, and its science, art and philosophy developed not only without the aid of any other profession, but in spite of their utmost effort to pre­ vent. It stands squarely on its own merits, scorning every device or method which would serve to conceal its wonderful efficiency. While its philosophy can be easily understood, the science and the art can only be acquired in a reputable resident school. For this reason it cannot be taught by mail. . A good baseball fan, one understanding all the rules and regulations of the game, may not be able to catch, toss or bat a ball, and so it is with Chiropractic. There are some very essential facts which can be learned only* by experience, while the art of adjusting can be learned only by practice under a most efficient in­ structor, and THEN it comes slowly, requiring much intelligent, painstaking effort.

We Sell the Kinds That Grow-Everything in Farm Seeds Phone 2483 UlilM Don’t be persuaded to buy some "cheap-joblot” of seeds, for good seeds are very impor­ tant. When you know you have seeds with a tested germination you know you are not going to have to replant your fields and have a late, or half yield crop. We urge you to call or phone at once about your farm seeds. CAREY U. EDMONDS Proprietor of Hastings Big Elevator Phone 2118 Hastings, Mich, �BANNER, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 29. 1922.

Its entire resources, unsur­ passed in the automobile industry, are devoted to a single, fixed purpos« —to build well, by using the finest materials, and most skillful work­ manship and to sell at the lowest prices possible. How well Studebaker has succeeded is best answered by the records. In the calendar yeth of 1921, Studebaker produced and sold more six cylinder cars than any other manufacturer in the world. From present indications the sales record of Studebaker'cars in 1922 will greatly exceed 1921. Reports from Studebaker dealers from all parts of the country show a big in­ crease in sales this year over the same period of 1921. Shipments of Thai's proof that merit wins. Buyers will not be fooled by wild misrep­ resentations. Motor cars are now be­ ing bought on the basis of merit Tire intrinsic value of today’s Stude­ baker cars surpasses pre-war values. Never before have we given so much positive value for the money. Instead of skimping the real value in order to'rcdu^e the cost, low prices of Studebaker cars are due to strict economy, skillful purchase of mate­ rials, a high degree of plant efficiency and well-known, continuous large volume. Each Studebaker model is hundreds of dollars lower in price than cars of comparable qualify.

ANT BOSTON GATHERING New York Morning Post Con­ tains Washington's Fare­ well Orders In going through some paper* at the bank one day iqst week. Mrs. Margaret Freeman of thia eity camo across three very interesting old newspaper* that belonged to Mr.-Freeman. One of them was a copy of tho New England Journal printed on April 8, 1728, nearly 200 year* ago. Another wm a copy of the Boston Gazette and Country Journal printed on March 12, 1770. Thia paper i* espe­ cially interesting because of an aeeount of a gathering that undoubtedly had a wonderful effect upon tho future of the country. Tho article in question reads as follows.: “At a meeting of the inhabitants of the Town of Littleton in tho county of Middlesex, on Monday, March 5, 1770, a Committee was chosen to prepare eertains votes to-be passed by tho town relating to the importation of British goods, and aftur retiring a short time Into a private room, returned and re­ ported the following which was unani­ mously voted: . • “The grievous impositions the In­ habitants of the British Colonies have long suffered from tho Mother Country strongly claim tho attention to every legal method for their removal. “Wo esteem the measnro already pro­ posed, viz, tho withdrawing of our trade from. England both economical and ef­ fectual. “We do therefore vote: “ 1.—That we will not (knowingly) di­ rectly or indirectly, purchase any goods which arc now, or hereafter may be, imported contrary to the agreement of the merchants of tho Town of Bos- COMING! ---------------------—— ■ election.

The leading article is from “Eddie” Guest, of Detroit, our own Michigan poet, who is fast taking the place of the late Jams* Whitcomb Riley in the affo-tion* of the American people. Two of; their business feature article* con­ cerning tncn who have wade a name in their line of work in the world are also about native sons of Michigan. The George A. Tomlinson, »h© is president of seven lake steamship companies, and one of the most prominent men in the country a* regards shipping interests, whs born in Lapeer, and i* the mu of S. J.,Tomlinson. of Charlotte, a former editor of. the Republican. The Archi­ bald MiieLachlan who built np an or­ ganisation thnt sells over two million dollars worth of electrical .switches every year was born in Port Huron and thn recounting of his rise forms an un­ usually interesting story. All of which proves that Michigan lays claim to a place in the Hail of, Fame for something beside "P. O. B.

Late Spring with the usual rush of Held" work does not make the Fordson farmer wonder whether he can get all the crops in, and still do the work in the way that will insure a fair chance for the crop to mature. And on the Fordson farm, the Oliver No. 7—the special plow for the Fordson—is as dejiendable a. part of the equipment, as the red Oliver horse drawn plow has been fdb over sixty-flve years. Built to meet the exact requirements of the Fordson, the No. 7 operates at greatest efficiency with tlie tractor. On thousands of Fordson farms since the first tractors went into the service of agriculture, the Oliver No. 7 has proved its value. For conditions making desirable a sulky, the No. 3 sulky with either turning or brush base i s fu ppi led. .

Therefore we are doing our ut­ most to re-establish the lines of business and social cominunication. But, the wire system that took years to build and per­ fect and that was destroyed in a night, cannot be rebuilt in a day.

Buy it on the basis of its earning power. Buy it for its ability to do good work for you right from the start and year after year. Save money on its capacity for making money. When you buy at our store, you get the earning power that is most profitable. r­ We take these steps to insure it:— 1. We buy implements especially adapted to this sec­ tion, from a firm that takes every care to maintain its rep­ utation for making only high-quality goods. 2. We show you the goods before you buy so that you can be sure they fit your requirements. 3. We set the implements up exactly right before we turn them over to you. 4. We are always ready to help you understand thor­ oughly all of the operating requirements. 5. We maintain^ prompt repair service so that when' parts become worn, you can renew them without loss of time. Be sure to consider these features when you get ready to buy. Drop in and see us whenever you are in town. Goodyear Bros.

If this is true, and we believe it is, then how important it is that our children—the men and women of “To- ’ morrow”—are taught the great habit of “Thrift” and “Saving” so that later in life when they shall be left upon their own resources they will KNOW HOW’to economize, KNOW HOW to lay away a few dollars, KNOW HOW to take care of themselves and not come to want. Hundreds of young men and women are having a hard time to get “Any­ wheres,” because they do not KNOW HOW to lay away part of what they earn each week.

Did you ever stop to consider4:hat in point of conveni­ ence your gas service is one of the greatest money values you can buy today? Take a family of five persons living in an eight-rpom house and using gas service exclusively for a typical win­ ter’s month. What is the probable record of service per­ formed? • 90 meals cooked in about 75 • hours, a saving in time of at least two full days over the old coal stove. 4,000 gallons of water heated automatically. 250 hours of eye-comforting il­ lumination. Heat for the entire house', either room heaters or central auto­ matic heating boiler. No coal, no smoke, no ashes, no soot, no fumes, no stove or fur­ nace feeding. Saving effected in linen, draper­ ies, rugs, upholstery, wall pa­ per, furniture and clotlies. Strength and health conserved, the atmosphere made whole­ some, drudgery eliminated, leisure assured. Yet for all these manifold benefits, the average bill for gas service is one of the least expensive items, one of the smallest necessary outlays, in the" household budget. Think it over: Is there any other service at your dis­ posal that gives so much for so little money as this one?

Taking everything into consideration this flour is bound to make superior baked goods and when you order a trial sack we are sure you will become a steady user. It is made by a miller who has superior knowledge of the manufacturre of flour, backed by an equipment that excels anything in 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 flour-mak­ ing machinery that money can buy. More than this, it ia made in a m ill that runs continuously, 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 pro­ duced. . 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 to other flours that claim to be just as good.

How Does Chiropractic Differ From Other Methods? Chiropractic can be distinguished from massage by the sureneM with which the exact vertebrae is adjusted. While the Masseur rubs, kneads and massages the en­ tire body, the Chiropractor does NOT rub, knead or massage at all. He gives but a single, quick thrust and confines his efforts to the spine. ' In the same way Chiropractic can be distinguished from Osteopathy. The Os­ teopath manipulates the muscles, bones and ligaments of the entire body, while the Chiropractor confines himself to the segments of the spinal column and does not manipulate at all. There is an abundance of documentary evidence in the form of •ign®d statements from leading Osteopaths which clearly proves the variance between fhe systems, a* well as the fact that Chiropractic has been recognized as a separate science by the legislatures of twenty states. w Illinois Lady Till* of Belief Mrs. Lolia M.

WE HAVE A REPUTATION FOR GOOD SEEDS and we want to keep it. The seeds we sell have been tested and show about 100% in germin­ ation and 99% in purity and no better seeds can be bought than we can furnish you. Don’t be persuaded to buy some “cheap-joblot” of seeds, for good seeds are very impor­ tant. When you know you have seeds with a tested germination you know you are not going to have to replant your fields and have a late, or half yield crop. We urge you to call or phone at once about your farm seeds. ' CAREY U. EDMONDS Proprietor of Hastings Big Elevator Phone 2118 Hastings, Mich. �' caws'iirtM MUIS Ur run­ ' MEOKIIIGSOOY nsphaw of Mra.

His powers of'reasoning were early disclosed when-as a youth he waa attending one of the gradea in the high school building. As was very common in those days bo took hla "dinner" to school so as to give him more time to play "wild deer’’ and romp bff through Dunnings* woods and over by 8wcezay's spring during tho noon hour. In his luneh was a pieee of delicious bueklebeny pie, whieh a certain lad coveted and ate during the morning re­ cess, along whh tho rest of Dor's din­ ner. Leaving tbo room early the fu­ ture detective stopped qvery kid un­ til be at last earn© across one whose mouth disclosed tho tell-iale evidence of having partaken of huckleberry pie, and tho matter was settled to Dor's complete satisfaction. While Dor was never known as a speed artist, yet aa a lad he waa always very large and strong for his age, never looked for trouble or pro­ voked disturbance, but was always able to give a good aeeount of himself if any of tho kids insisted upon "mik­ ing it." With his teachers he was very popular—especially if ah6 was a nice looking Indy—bceatiso he waa al­ ways honorable ‘hnd square in his daily conduct, frequently was given tho hon­ or of passing tho water, and never was called upon to "too the mark."

PANCOAST <3 NOBLES Hasting* Jewelers and Optometrist* , Michigan MUJOR EMERY GAVE INTEREST NG TALK Continued from flat P*g»laid and aj>hm»rinc infested ocean. Tho strain haa left its mark, for although an ovation everywhere: one could not doubt France's love and appreciation of America. It was a literal home­ coming welcome. Old Glory flew every when nnd it seemed as though every man, woman and child in France car­ ried a flag beside. Major Emery’s party took part in tho dedication of the Joan of Arc statue at Blois; the ceremonies at Marshall Focb's birth­ place at Tarbe*; tho monument to thc A. E. F. at Flirey; thc laying of the comer atono of tho Roosev'Mt bridge at Chateau Thieny. to replace the bridge destroyed by tho Germans when the Americana drovo them back from the town; the Galbraith dock on the yarnc and the burial of the unknown soldier at the Are do Triomphc in Pari*. Everything he said of Marshal Foch boro out thc impression made- t>y thc great general during bis recent tour of this country. Hi* modesty and demo­ cratic bearing and submerging of self won their greatest admiration. At- ono point where they stopped, his keen eyes noted tho American flag had been wrongly hung and ho Immediately disKtchod a runner to remedy the defect. another time ho saw tho Marshal take shelter during a bard rain storm in a.sentry box occupied by a common soldier, and calmly smoko his pipe while waiting for tho rain to cease. He is an absolute teetotaler in a land where light wines and champagnes flow as freely as water. The body of his only son, an officer in the French army, interred in a trench with seven­ teen private soldiers, still rests in its original burying place, and will always remain there in accordance with his father's wishes. The way thc French people are coming back is n marvel and the heroic spirit with which they have faced what scctncdfan almost hopeless task in reclaiming and reconstructing lands and homes laid, low by four years of the moat destructive warfare ever known calls for tho greatest admira­ tion. As an illustration of how thc war had hit France in tho 'why of popula­ tion, nnd loss of its young manhood, Major Emery said al Marshal 'Focb’s birthplace a monument unveiled in honor of the dead contained 2500 name* from a locality representing a popula­ tion of 23,000. To bring it home this would mean a rate of 500 dead for Has­ tings, whereas we had but four, and inthe entire county only 31. The reason for tnc great come-back thc French people are making, he said, wn* that they aro n hard working, in­ dustrious, nnd saving people. They exalt work! Thrift campaign* arc not necessary over there because everyone is naturally thrifty. Thc trip into Alsace-Lorraine was of course of great interest because of it* re occupation by the"'French, nnd he said no ovation was greater or more spontaneous on thc tnp than this. Something of the stupendous problem that confronted thc government in charge of changing a German province since 1870 back to a French one, in tho way of flnancc, trade, education, and language wps touched upon. The smoothness with whieh it had been done was u tribute to tho executive ability of the men in charge. The visit to thc war cemeteries was of supreme interest. The roverent care given them was attested by the {Hirfcct condition they all prr»entcd)ne American cemetery whore 40,000 dead lie buried is u* groan and beauti­ fully kept as a park. The trench where IS French soldiers wore buried alive with their bayonets |M>inting upward is carefully preserved, lhe ends- of thc bayonets protruding from ths soil, and will remain a mute evidence always of tho barbarous nnd inhuman methods of German warfare. It was related to Major Emery that thc grave of France’s unknown soldier nt the Are de Triomphc in tho heart of Purls was never without a visitor during the 24 hours of tho day and night. Thu famous cathedral at Rhcims, bombarded for month* by German gun4, 1* in the process of 'reconstruc­ tion, and was nn interesting visit of the pilgrimage. And it was not without humor that Major Emory told of tho French workmen recounting whenever there was n particularly dangorous Ifit to do in removing loose wnlhf thc job wa* relegated to German,prisoners. Th/trip into Belgium and tho meet­ ing with King Albert was also of great interest. Hero at tho reception ten­ dered them in the palaeo they found tea and lemonade, tho King said, in compliment to our 18th Amendment. A graceful tribute to our constitution by a titled monarch, was it uotf. A spe­ cial performance of Rigoletto, al Brus­ sels, with a lovely American singer in the role, who between aets thrilled them to a Miperlntivo degree by appearing as Columbia and singing "Thu Star Spangled Banner" was another not­ able feature. The reclaiming of the battlefields is a.ttendaut with much danger, one man losing hi* life almost every day from nn exploding shell, ho said. With Col. Harvey, Ambassador to England. Major Emery flew across thc British channel in an aeroplane, in 2 3-4 hours and wn* glad to reach tcrra-firina again. Paris, of course, entertained us the provinces eould not and it wa* a brilliant round of festivi­ ties and courtesies all the while they were there, a special illumination of the Eiffel tower bring one of thc fea­ ture*. President Millcrand, ho character ized «s thc hardest working man in France. In closing, Major Emery spoke a personal message to thc boy* of thc American Legion concerning 'tho ideals and obligations of their order, wMch ia slowly but surely coming into it« own. nnd is to play a telling part in national and cqjnmunity life if the high ideals that promoted its organitaiion, and is »o clearly set forth in its pre­ amble, aro lived up to. With such men a» Major Emery and Paul Martin, who recently spoko here, as leadekt, ono feels the future of th? American Legion is safe. Announcing Special faster Selling of Charming ^uits.

Furthermore, these figures seemingly indicate that this healthy preference for Federal Bonds is growing stronger every month. And this decisively favorable attitude toward Federal Bonds is a steadily strengthening influence upon those who have so far r>een inclined toward other bonds and upon those who have not as yet become bond owners but who hope to. For obviously, there are material and measurable advantages in buying your bonds from the leading bond house. Surely no one of impartial and mature investment judgment is apt to concede any other real estate first mortgage bond an equality with a Federal Bond. Isn’t it a fact, requiring no confirmation, that people generally do speak of Federal Bonds as Better Bonds?

Teach your children from the start that “Saving" means “Thrift," and . "Success," and "Plenty." Such a habit formed in childhood brings satisfac­ tion and comfort, not only in old age but all through life. Wouldn’t you like.to know how to transform rooms that are now lacking in distinction into gems of interior decoration? Leading educators tell us that as you train children during the first six years of their lives so they will be through life. If this is true, and we believe it is, then how important it is that our children.—the men and women of "To­ morrow"—are taught the great habit of "Thrift" and "Saving" so that later in life when they' 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. x ' To Stop Mine Fire*. A new method of checking fire tn mines La by meuns of Igixea uf fine rock dust suspended n< r«>s« the root of tho tunnel. Any ahock due to nn explo­ sion Is sufficient to enuse them to break away from’ their supports, and the finely divided "dust foils into the pas­ sage and prevents the tinmen from spreading. That’s just what the Devoe In­ terior Decorator will be here for. She will show you how to brighten up the gloom spots in your home. She will show you how, with a little Mirrolac and Velour, brushes, and a few hours of time, you can add more beauty to your home than if you spent several hundred dollars for new furniture and decorations. Hundreds of young men and women are having a hard time to get “Any­ wheres," because they do not KNOW HOW to lay away part of what they earn each week. Mirrolac and Velour are won4er products. Mirrolac restores scarred surfaces to their original beauty as if by a ‘‘magic touch.” It gives new inexpensive wood a finish that imitates perfectly the appearance of more . expensive woods, such as Oak, Mahogany and Walnut. Velour is the ideal Flat Wall Finish which perfectly illustrates a principle that every great artist insists upon:—namely, that there is no necessary conflict between beauty and utility, but tl\at they are rightly considered one anefthe same thing.

I FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR We believe in pushing a good thing along and as long as it IS g ood, people do not object to reading about it regardless of how many times we may mention it Our talk is about a flour we know you will be interested in. DON’T EXPERIMENT THERE’S A REASON for our wanting to impress it upon your mind that FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR is different than a great many other brands of flour. From experience we have found out that people who have never used this flour before and have purchased a trial sack, have been so Well satisfied with the baking results they obtained, they could not be in­ duced to change back to any other brand of flour. This same thing happened to a great many people years ago and they are still using FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR and are well satisfied with it The reason it satisfies is because of its superior quality. It is made better than other brands of flour but sells for the same low price that inferior brands sell for. ' • . If you are interested in saving time and money, don't experiment with other brands of flour, when you can get FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR that is guaranteed to give satisfaction. Ask almost any house­ wife and she will tell you she is either using or going to use FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR because she is tired of the costly experience at­ tached to using brands of flour she knows nothing about. We are just as anxious to have you satisfied with FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR as we are to have you try it and we have spared no expense in making it as good as it could be made and we aro glad to back it up with our guarantee.

How Doe» Chiropractic Differ From Other Methods? While Chriatian Science is purely spiritual, Chiropractic adjustment* are pure­ ly physical. Any Christian Scientist, a* well a* any Chiropractor, will at once dis­ claim any similarity of method. It differs from suggestive therapeutics in that no suggestion is given and no at­ tention is paid to the mental attitude of the patient, which may range anywhere from extreme skepticism to absolute optimism. While ynedicine has been variously defined, no THEORY.or PRACTICE of medi­ cine has ever yet included spinal adjustments. In fact you can easily find good med­ ical authority to prove that the segments of the spine cannot be moved. A very unsuccessful attempt has been made to so define medicine as to include everything used for the cure, relief or alleviation of human suffering, from Christian Science to Optometry, hut no definition has ever been made broad enough to include Chiroprac­ tic. Chiropractors do NOT give medicine of ANY kind under any circumstances. They want their science to be judged on its own merits. Ufa iubject will be further explained in thc next' i.jito, F. C.

The members of the arrested gang gave their names n* follow*:—Nam Andrixtone, aged 18; Earl Van Byeklo, 35; Stanley Bishop, 23; Isadora Willia, 19; Stanley Goldberg, 25, nil resident* of Det roil. The gang was occupying a second flopr apartment on Charlotte street. When the detective* went to gain en­ trance they found the door* barricaded, from the rear, the occupants threatened to shoot them. The building was completely surround­ ed, .and officer* injected "tear gas” into the apartment, which soon caused the abject surrender of tho quintette. /It will be remembered that Harold Andcrsou was murdered in cold blood while performing his duty a* a member of the state police. While looking for some bootlegger* near Novi, he and one or two other member* of the state con­ stabulary came upon an automobile standing in the road. Doubtless with an idea of making a search of the machine, he stepped upon the running board and wns murdered in eold blopd. Every possible clue was followed up, some ar­ rest* were made, but the prisoners were released later on from want of evidence. Tho gang succeeded in making a quiek get awsy, and evidently succeeded in escaping the cordon of police who wore stationed on about every road that led It is thought that- the gang that killed Harold was the same one that had previously committed a bold robbery in Detroit, killing a policeman in order to make their e*eapc. If the gang arrested was tho gang that killed Harold Auder*on, hanging would seem to be almost too mild a punishment.

CHATS WITH YOUR GAS MAN We want you to limit the amount of gas you use to your exact needs. Here are a few ways to db it: If you are boiling water, do not heat a quart when a pint is enough. When the water comes to a boil­ ing point and you wish to keep it'there, it is not nec­ essary to leave the gas on full’ to do so. Turn it down. Water violently agi­ tated with a tremendous heat under it is only es­ caping in the form of steam. • “A watched pot never boila,” they say, because in watching it you remove the cover and- part of the hear, escapes. Keep the covers of utensils on when it is possible and have cov* era fit properly. Always light the gas af­ ter, not before, you havp placed the utensil over the burner. Also tnri> out the gas before, not after tak­ ing the utensil off the range. In the course of a yeat, this little rule in it­ self will well repay your care. .

And surely it is no less than justifiable to assume that doubt­ less the cream of loans is offered first to Federal. ' Yet, despite this, so rigidly high are the standards of the Federal Bond & Mortgage Company that scarcely 10% are held worthy of conversion into 7% Issues of Federal Bonds. That fact in conjunction with the further fact that there Is a steadily growing preference for Federal Bonds accounts for the periods when there is actually a shortage of Federal Bonds. Anjl here it is well worth emphasizing that at such periods there has been given us evidence that the desire for Federal Bonds was so great that many men and women with-held their investments until such a time as they could procure Federal Bonds—the bonds they speak of as Better Bonds. Surely no more impressive tribute could ever be paid the Federal Bond & Mortgage Company and the bond issues it recommends. The truth of the matter is that from every standpoint bf in­ trinsic quality Federal Bonds could be termed “preferred" 7% first mortgage real estate bonds without, in our opinion, the slightest injustice to other bonds. If it is entirely true that Federal Bonds are actually the best bonds you can buy is there anyreason why bond buyers should not be told so frankly and freely? In any case, even if we assumed a modesty that could be nothing but false in view of the natural pride we feel in our bonds, and did not speak of Federal Bonds as Better Bonds would not men and women purely independently of us and by virtue of their own sound reasoning arrive at that same con­ clusion eventually anyway? ♦I ♦ i t) FEDERAL BONDS Are Better Bonds D.

She entertains, she pays calls, she presides at club meetings—and does' every bit of the cooking, cleaning and laundry work in a twentyone room house. . Marvelous, of course, but njost of us marvel, not so much at how she does it, but why she does it. A Governor's wife—the First Lady of the state. Why does she do such menial labor? She doesn’t. Housework isn’t menial labor in this day and age. All modem and up-to-date homes are equipped with gas and electricity. These comprise a staff of servants, thoroughly trained and highly specialized. They clean the rugs, wash the dishes, iron the clothes, cook the meals. • ' Now, all housewives can not be Governors’ wives, but all can enjoy the same benefits de­ rived from the use of gas and electricity. If you are now using them and need any appli­ ances or gas ranges, or if you are not now a customer give us a visit and talk things over. We can save you money and at the same time1 give you the best values that money will buy. We sell servied and will not sell any appliances that will not prove satisfactory.

Tho meeting wa* called to order in the Court lioom aNortly after one-thirty Mr. Bonnett, the County Agri. Agent, brought before u* the need of co-opera­ tion for thoaako of protection. Arit i», the poultry man ha* no protection what­ ever in onioring egg* nnd chiek* from breeder*. They order and nay for rtock whieh is supposed to l>c the very best and what do they get! We know they . tic aut gax-sshaj. ijiny- pay far. Through nn AMOciatinn, the Association could investigate these breeder* and Rrm* shipping chickens, egg*, etc., and »ee jurt wh*t they were and whieh were re­ liable. Wc ean also become acquainted with our neighbor* and learn whnt they have and possibly build up oiy floek* right from our own community* If wo have a lirt of name* of thouc who arc intcrertcd in poultry husbandry infor­ mation will be handed out to them from time to time on subject* whieh will be of great n**i*t*neo to them. Just a* one instance, it ha* recently been found thnt the juice of tomatoca is very good for weak chick*. ‘Where certain, kind* of food element* arc lacking in the food nnd the ehick* are wenk arfd wobbly the tomato juico ha* boon found very bene­ ficial. Green food is also a very im­ portant element of their food. Mr. Bennett further brought out the value of tho Association and snid he hoped wo would have a membership of three hundred inside of throe month*. We will be tho premier Association of tho rtntc. Prof. E. C. Foreman of the M. A. C. wa* the speaker of the afternoon and t*ld n* many thing* of vital interest. “The attitude mo«t people have toward poultry*remind* me of an elder­ ly, somewhat fie*hy woman trying to board a street ear In Lansing. She tiled ono end of tho ear and raised her foot to atop into tho car but just miraod by a couple of inches, then *he tries! tho other end of tho car, thinking »ho could make it easier but mot With tho same roault. Thon »hc hurried bnek to the other door again, tho conductor asked her which end »hc wa* trying to get on and »bo replied, “You ju*t wait,a min­ ute and I will have both hnd* on.'* Tho trouble .with most poultry men ia that they only have one ertd on.” Wc need individual organization and eommunitv organization. One poultry mon in Canada last year raid an in­ come tax of twenty-two thousand dol­ lar* from hi* poultry alone. Ha wu not jurt giving thi* money tway but if be paid thi* tax ho murt have earned every eent upon whieh there wa* the in­ come tax. He ha* hi* plant organised in every detail, earh department with derful market*. its own account* and everything taken Mt. Foreman told of hi* experience eare of. Ha doe* not »cll hi* egg* thro in Detroit arftpflg the eUy farmer*. They thought they were going to have phone dircetorie* of-ioveral of the‘lead-: *ome fun with him. He raid he could ing citiH near him and going through tell them how many egg* their chicken* thciio he wrote letter* to the buainau were laying and they look him to one men telling them he bad a auporior pro­ of tho farm* nnd told him they would duct and would guarantee hi* egg*, that let him' try it. They looked when he ho would ship direct to them parcel port prepaid for three cent* above the mar­ told them within five egg* on their ket value. Thon ho waked fifteen eent* trupnerted floek. Wo ean at leart price and when egg* were selling''for $1.00 a dozen he aaked IMS and ho got it too. Hi* demand i* greater than he cun supply. Around Holland and Zeeland there arc hatched two million chlek* a year.. If wc had nn organization we eould do a* well or better at lew co*t. Wo wnnt a ayrtem of certification for good* and poultry. The Michigan Chick Hatch­ ery Aium: will have u great benefit. Member* murt purchase certified *toek nnd keep their flock* eulled to the limit. This will do n wonderful serv­ ice. In Miehignn ton million ehick* are hatched a year. Thirty per eent of the hen* in Michigan are cull*. One hen will pat 8fl pound* of feed per year. We mud breed up »h<* rtoek to more wpeed, higher production and have certified floek*. .One woman .mado-more profit from her DM) hen* than her husband with nine Holrtcin cow*. Wo ought to have a poultry show next winter with a utility claw on ex­ hibition. The utility ela»* must be standard bred nl»o. Prof. Foreman dated that if we would put on such n show he would eome and judge our utility' cits* poultry free and felt »uro he eould bring another man from the M. A. C. to judge the exhibition bird* free also. Wc want ’a uniform stand­ ard fnr Miehignn hen* and eggs. There may be a danger of over production, then if wc have h high grade, uniform standard elan* of poultry Hnd egg* we will have n elnss whieh would bo in demand by every state, jud a* nrc our *eed potatoes.

We have one hen al tho M. A. C. who while »he ha*n’t such a wonderful egg record ha* other features. Hhc is re­ sident to chickenpox. In one largo floek thi* disease took 30 per eent thi*. winter.

Spasmodic croup relieved or warded off by , rubbing on a vaporizing salve. The old method of treating spasmodic croup with nauseat­ ing drugs is out of date. So is the vapor-lamp scheme that re­ quired the bedroom windows to be kept dosed. Now mother rubs the little one’s chest and throat with Vicks, arranges the bedding so that the arising vapors will be inhaled all night long, opens the windows to let in the blessed fresh air, and re­ tires—confident of a good sleep. Vicks has come to be the al­ most universal treatment for children’s cold troubles, be­ cause it does away with dosing. Vicks contain!- the old, timetested remedies—Camphor, Men­ thol, Eucalyptus, etc—combined by special process, so that while they penetrate and stimulate the skin, the ingredients arc also released as vapors by the body heat and are breathed right into the lungs.

If you are using flour that is only run through three or four sets of roils, such as is made in ordinary mills, you are not getting the best flour for your money. Such flour is not made right, because it is 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. The result is*a “poor baking." .Perhaps you will have to throw some of it away, which of course ADDS to the COST of the flour. There is nothing that is more indigestible than poor, heavy bread. There is nothing more healthful and appetizing than GOOD BREAD* .You can be assured of good bakings every time you use FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. It is not like ordinary flour.' We clean our grain better, and we put it through 17 sets of rolls before it is finished and sacked. You. pay no more for FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR than you do for ordinary flour. By owning our own mill, water power and lighting plant; by running 24 hours a day, year in and year out, -thereby cutting our “general expense" in two; by having the latest and belt' equipment in flour making machinery, we are able to clean our grain beter, put it through 17 sets of rolls, and sell it to you at the same price as ordinary flour, which is only put through from three to five sets of rolls. You have probably made up your mind that “some time” you are going to try FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, if you are not now using it. Why not commence NOW? WHY NOT ORDER A SACK TODAY?

Hastings, Mich. NOTICE OF APPLICATION to the Michigan Public Utilities Commission A tentative contract for the sale of the properties of the Citizens Telephone Company to the Michigan State Telephone Company has been entered into between the two Companies. . - Over and above the amount to be paid for the Citizen Company’s property, it will be necessary for the Michigan Company to spend ap­ proximately one million dollars to consolidate the two properties so as to furnish unified service. The present rates of the 'two Companies do not produce sufficient revenue to permit of furnishing satisfactop’ service and meet all neces­ sary costs in connection therewith. To justify the purchase of this property and the consolidation costs, it is necessary that the rates be increased as shown below. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of Act 206 of the Pub­ lic Acts of 1913 and Act 419 of the Public Acts of 1919. notice is here­ by given that an Application was presented to the Michigan Public Utilities Commission, at the office of the Commission in the City of Lansing on the 4th day of April, 1922, fir-approval of the contract for the purchase and sale as agreed to between the Companies and that the Commission has set the date of hearing on this matter as April 27th at 10:00 A.

E. Herrington, father of the proprioter of that resort. A sur­ prise was planned on Mr. Herrington nnd invitatioaa were rent out to all those who had earn pod with him in the North woods and they responded alinost to a mtn, some of them bringing their wives with them. It would ap­ pear that tho old gentleman had no notion of. loafing arouhd aven on hid birthday. Taking hia axe and bucksaw, he started for the timber lot on the old homestead, about a mile and n half away, and when tho writer found him ho was diligently working away, sawing up adnio of tho timber broken down by the recent ice storm. Returning to the resort, he waa greeted by about twentylive of hia Old camp chum*, also neigh­ bor* and friend* who camo to pay their respects to thia old jjionecr. After doing Justieo to a bountiful, dinner the Ixiy* swapped a few yarns, then Mayor Gaskill of Hastings, in a few well chosen words, presented |o tho honored guest, a fine leather upholstered roekor, closing hi* remarks with the hone that ho might live to wear it out. Friends wore present from Battle Crook. Has­ tings, Lake Odessa, Hiekory,Corners, and all riggreed the day waa well spent. An effort will be modo to make this an annual event, and some sort of an or­ ganisation will be perfected before another year, the name of which has not been fully decided upon. G.

G; Robinson being tho second burial re­ corded os Sept. 18, 1870, and a week later tho'thlrd body was brought there for interment—a Avo year old child of Wm. Burger, an attorney. Several removals of bodies from tha old cemetery in tha eity park are on record that fall and winter, Mary, Arst wife of H. A. Goodyear, Daniel Her­ rick, Henry Cantinc, Mr. and "Mrs. Nathan Barlow, Sr., and George Good­ year;'Sr., being those for whom burial . permits were issuad. ' Records were made in tho new Riv­ erside books of dates of interment in the old cemetery whenever possible, as well as the date of re interment, and some of the former date back to the early .’40’s. Emily Knappen, aged 22, wife of H. I. Knappen, April 23, 1843; and-Abby Aar, wife of Dr. Wm. Up­ john, April 23, 1843 being two whose bodies had rested for over thirty years in Hastings' Arst burying ground. The removal of tho bodies from the old cemetery hod been carried on in a rather Mespltory way and on May 18, 1877 James Bweexey, W. 8. Goodyear and tho clerk, Joan Besamer were named a committee to visit the com­ mon council aud urge the removal of all bodies remaining there. This they did and in company with a committee of three from that* body—Messrs. Dew­ ey, McNaughton, and M. Russell went to tho old cemetery and counted about 130 graves still remaining. Reference to council, proceedings in tho old Ales of the BANNER furnish tho information that they advertised for scaled bids for the work, six being received from E. W.

The letter's bid for the work at *1.00 per body be­ ing the lowest he was awarded tho con­ tract at the June 1, 1877 meeting, and gave a* bond of *100 to ’’faithfully perform and complete his work.” Tho task, no small one, waa reported at the July 21 council meeting as completed by Mr. Swin; that it had been well done; that he had removed 127 bodies and 14 tombstones, resetting the same; that ten bodies had bean removed by friends, and that sixteen still remained to be removed by friend* and relative*. Fnr thia work an order waa drawn to Mr. Swin Jor *127.00 aa per. contract plus *7.00 additional for removing and setting up the stones. When wo realise the arduous work involved of removing, excavating’ for new graves, cartage and re-interring, tho present generation wonders how anyone eould be induced to do it for that price, but *2.00 a day was consid­ ered a top notch wage for day laborers in those times, and as the work lasted only over a period of ftfew weeks, Mr. Rwln realised good money on hl* days’ ’70’a. .....................

For this reason it is pronounced by the very best judg­ es to be “Satisfactory.” We employ only such methods in business as make bank­ ing institutions of positive value. The management of this bank believes that above everything else, stability, faithfulness and courteous treatment to all are demanded on the part of a well managed bank, and upon this basis we invite your pat­ ronage, knowing full well that you will find our service “SAT­ ISFACTORY.” Hastings National Bank Tbs Oily Ns&ral Hastings, IfIGH SCHOOL HEWS Bio somi rm ow» ' (Fatuity Advisor, Miss Bobeon. term (Beys) ...................

It provides for the selec­ tion by the State Board of Education. selects out Nanus! school presidents ar.il oversees our Nortnal schools. The amendment docsnot aim at centralizing State government as . in generally thought by placing ih*> selection in the him Is of the governor, but rather it is for the purpose of taking such nn iml>ortant office out of tho sphere of poli­ ties and putting it entirely on a merit basis. No one who ndvorates the change has any idea of taking from the people any powers^ which would in the least cneronch u|xin their political status us an American citizen with the right to use the ballot fur their pruTirtion. The Board of Education is elected- by the people, the same ns n city or district lar.rd and to them th< power of selecting a siperinlcnd ent is delegated. One time in the his­ tory of our country, superintendents of schools were elected by poj>ulnr vote, but today no one would advocate the same. Bo it is with the stnte as a whole, there i*-< growing tendency in publie thought to consider that fip?n»er efficiency can be obtained by selecting more capable men for the state office through a board than by popular vote, not because people aren’t capable, but because they don’t have tho ehance to-acquaint themselves with the candi­ dates for the position. During the past, the office of superintendent of pub­ lic instruction lins not been filled, as a general rule, by toading. educators, but more often by men who have held minor positions in the state. In other words, that position which ought to be the biggest educational office in the state has not bten functioning in tho greatest degree, doe tu look of leadership. Politics have stood in tha way. ” ‘Educational administration has in principle and should have in prac­ tice, no direct relation to.partisan poli­ tics as we know partisan polities in tbjs_ coQA^gr.’ From tha standpoint of statesmanship and tho puJolte.maL.

A good farm implement dois its work for many years at a cost of only a few cents an acre for the farm work done each year. It makes farming operations easier, faster, more timely. It decreases your cost of production. It increases your yields per acre. You can do without mere luxuries, andmake'money by doing so. Yqu can do without goods, the need of which is ques­ tionable, and never lose a cent by so doing. But you lose good, hard dollars when you try to get! along without any wealth-producing implement that you actually need. We are able to buy implements this year, for less than we paid laat year, and we are going to give our customers the full benefit of the lower prices. You get the saitie high quality for less money—many years of good service at a cost of only a few cents per acre. We'll be glad to show you these new implements you need. Goodyear Bros. Hardware Co HASTINGS, MICHIGAN THANK YOU BANKER International Harvester Brands BINDER TWINE McCormick, Deering and International Twine Prices Lowest in Years Ye*, here we are, on the job to remind you that harvest time will be on your heels before you know it/ We have already placed our reservation for a quantity of old reliable International^ Harvester brands of twine. And we are here to tell you that the ‘ prices this year sound mighty good. Highest Market Price for your There is very little difference in ppce • between the best and the poorest twine this year. But don’t you forget it, the difference in quality is just as great as it ever was. Har­ vester twines are as free of lumps and thin spots as they were last year. Poor twine has , its usual irregularities. CLIP OF WOOL The only kind of twine that pays is the , one that binds the grain securely, and is free from' breakage, snarling and slippage. You will fiiyl this twine among the International Si Smith Brothers, Velte & Co. Elevators at Hastings, Lake Odessar" Woodland, Coats Grove and Woodbury. Hastings Phone 2257. Harvester brands at the lowest price in ovbr five years. - We think we have ordered enough twine ___ going to be-a big demand for our twines this year because of the new low price. There­ fore we are urging everyone to give us an idea of their requirements so that we can ■assure them prompt harvest-time delivery. Don't take a chance and wait until the last minute to get your twine. You may be forced to buy some low-grade twine that will result in loss of time and grain. Come over to the elevator next time you are in town. If you don't find us up in front you'll probably find us at the back, setting up those McCormick-Deering Machines you and your neighbors will need this season.

' No ether business needs to strive harder to. please the public. People can get along without gas and electricity. They used to before the advantages of these modem conveniences were known. It used to take days to travel from New York City to the National Cap­ ital, Washington, D. C. Now' this is done in a few hours. But who wants to return to the days of kerosene lamps, wood stoves and slow’ travel ? The main aim of any Public Utility is to see that its customers are satisfied. That is the reason why we carry Gas Stoves and Ranges. We carry only stoves and ranges that we know will give you the very best of service. You can see the folly of our putting out cheap and -unreliable goods. The best and only place to get appliances, the use of which depends upon your public utility, is from the Utility itself. They know better than anyone else which will give yod the best service.

In Grand Rapids, and other Urge cities, are a good many boys, who by reason of misfortune, poor circum­ stances or unfortunste home surround­ ings, would greatly profit by aueh ex­ experience. Farm help is sesree, and there arc many things that a boy ean do on a farm that would rave tha farmer many step*. Too much eannot be done to help save boys. Money and time invested in them pay big dividends. They are entitled to n fair chanee, but under the conditions too msny boys are liv­ ing in in tho Jargo cities now days, they are not receiving. They -arc missing too msny of tho big things in life to reach their best development. It'isn’t often thst a boy will attain his best, mentally or physically, when confined in squalid, congested quarters. In Grand Rapids the "Big Brother Organisation” han done some splendid work for boys. Included in its efforts is securing the names of boys in the city of Grand Rapids, whom their par­ ents would like to |ave spend the sum­ mer months in the country, giving the boys a right start that would be diffi­ cult to attain in any other way. One,of the activities of the Hsstings Rotary Club is its "Boys! Work.” Charlie Potts, chairman of the Boys'] Work Committee, would be pleased to receive tho names of fanners, who will be glad to take a boy for tho summer months to bo selected by the Big Brother organisation of Grand Rapids. As eaeh fanner knows, there are many odd bits of work about the farm that ean bo done as well by a boy as by a man; such as, for example, going after the eown, (a chore most fanners dislike after a hard day's work in the field), working about the garden, pick­ ing berries or fruit, and a variety of (Ooatlnasd m page fl.) .......

L. Wilkins rm All North Broadway for a Conn try Club and G6lf Course, it was ex­ pected to take the old farm house and convert it into a elub house. It was planned to put wide verandas around the building and rearrange tho interior for club house purposes When tho figures came in for doing this work it was found that it would only eost a little more to erect a real club house, built especially for elub house purposes, one that the eity eould be proud of and the members satisfied with, rather than a make-shift that would please no one. The three fellows who have devoted the moat lime to preparing designs, col­ lecting eost figures and the like, have been Fred Hill, Hubert Cook and Jack Rentschler. In fiet they have done practically all the work that has been finished thus far, and it haa required a lot of their time, and to them much credit is due. Friday evening the ladies of the Presbyterian ehurch served a fine sup­ per in the social rooms of the church for the members of the Country Club and their wives. This was for tho pur­ pose of discussing the building of a new club house. After Invocation by Rev. Way, Fred Hill opened the meet­ ing by explaining why the condition and interior arrangements of the pres ent house on the property would make it more feasible and a better business proposition to build a new up-to-date elub house than it would to attempt to remodel the old house, at nearly as tendency.

The Service Rendered by Specialized Knowledge RUDE petroleum, the raw material em­ ployed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), is so varied in character, that to manufacture products of standard quality, re­ quires a profound knowledge of petroleum chemistry and the utmost skill in refining. Long experience has proved that the greater the scien­ tific knowledge employed the more? perfect will be the products manufactured. ’ The responsibility for the manufacturing of Standard Oil products is placed upon the shoulders of men trained to recognize the deli­ cate variance of each complicated operation. This work also is checked carefully by highly trained scientists employed in the laboratories. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) bases its standards of manufacture -upon the service which its products shall render the consumer. The maintenance of such standards is depend­ ent upon the technical knowledge of the experts who formulate them. There is no factor in the activities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) which yields greater benefit to the consumer, and which is ~ reflowed more Insistently; than that the men who have charge of each process must have highly specialized knowledge of every step in the process under their jurisdiction. This fact is so well established that each divi­ sion of the manufacturing department has come to be a separate enterprise, and because of this extreme specialization every product coming from the refinery is in effect a primary product For instance, the department which is respon­ sible for manufacturing Polarine and other greases is in charge of men who have made a profound study of lubricants of this class: men who know intimately every step and every re­ action which is necessary if these lubricants are to meet the high standards of quality which the laboratories have set And so it is in every department of the organ­ ization. The men in charge of the several’ de­ partments are recognized by the industry gen­ erally as masters of the intricate problems of manufacturing and marketing. It is this fact which has made this Company a leader in its field. C Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ’ 910 S.

We are not asking the trade to try some un­ known brand, label or cheap grade. Do not be fooled with the kind that is just as good.

Now we draw your attention to the further fact that the completed figures for the months of January, February, and March of this year, total In dollars and cents a greater volume of Federal sales than did the months of January, February, March, April, May, June, July, and August of 1921 combined. In a sentence, the rate of growth In Federal sales is so rapid that a month's business this year Is almost three times as great as last year. So far as we can determine, and we have gone Into the data with scrupulous care, this great increase in sales comes from two sources. In the first place, our customers of Jong standing are investing tn Federal Bonds in larger and larger sums. And in the second place, the number of new customers coming to us is increasing vigorously. Many of these new customers are men and women who have been converted to the idea of thrift and safe investment by the persistent educational effort of the Federal Bond & Mortgage Company^ k Many formerly were good customers of other first mortgage reg! estate serial gold bond houses who have come to the conclusion, purely through their own sound reasoning, that Federal Bonds are truthfully Better Bonds. In the light of these figures we can again say It is not at all improb­ able that the sale of Federal Bonds will eventually surpass the united total yearly sale of all other Michigan real estate bond houses FEDERAL BONDS Are Better Bonds Federal Bond & Mortgage Company Federal Bond & Mortgage Building Griswold at Clifford, Detroit Phone Cherry 8102 Mail This Coupon Today Federal Bond & Mortgage Co.

THE HASTINGS BANNER PART TWO Wednesday, May 3, 1922 : PLANS ANNOUNCED FOR SUMMER FARMERS’ DAY Annual M. A. 0. Conference to Be Held August Fourth, This Year Systematic Saving Fqrmera’ Day at the Michigan Agri­ cultural College, made an annual event by recent action of the State Board of Agriculture, will be held Aug. 4 thi* year, according to announcement issued from the office of Dean R. 8. Shaw. Farmers’ Day, which take* the forth of a big out-door eonferenco on the Col­ lege campus, has been increasing in scope and popularity among Mienigan farmer* eaeh rear, more than 3,000 gathering for the event last summer. The custom of holding a summer meeting started in 1018 with a special Wheat Day. The next year a Soil* Day wa* called, nnd since then the meeting has been known a* Fanners’ Day, all branches of tho college agri­ cultural division taking part in the program and exhibits. Plans for special entertainment fea­ ture* arc being made by the committee in charge for the Aug. 4 conference. Agricultural exhibit*, including tho various crop experiments growing on the college farm and tho extensive M. A. C. livestock equipment, will bo on display. Prominent speakers arc being scheduled for the general afternoon mooting, and new feature* generally, will bo provided. Prevents Want and Dependence A Bank’s dealings with its patrons are PRIVATE and are not to be dis­ cussed. But it will not be violating any confidence to say that more people are Saving Money than ever before. "Experience" is the greatest Teacher in the world, and people more than ever before, are coming to realize that if they EVER join the ranks of the successful ones; if they ever hope to place themselves above the conditions of WANT and DEPENDENCE in their old age, that they MUST com- . rpence SAVING MONEY during the period of their lives while their EARN ING “POWER" is unimpaired.

Often It Is Impossible for a diagnosis to be given until a patient bus tested bls or her eight far a certain length of time. 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 wages who haven't given the question of SAVING money now, while their earning power is at its best, the con­ sideration they should. It is to them that this advertisement ia especially directed, and thia Bank ia able to help them. Whji not come in and talk over a plan for SYSTEMATIC SAVINGS? Embodying An Ideal of Service I DEALISM combined with practical ef­ ficiency are the motives inspiring the 25,000 men and women who make up the personnel of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The idea) of production is to create petro­ leum products as nearly perfect as is humanly possible. The expression of this ideal in tangible form has resulted in a vast and super­ latively efficient service to 25 million people in 11 Middle Western States. To perform this service our complete refin­ eries are working 24 hours every day. At the Whiting Plant alone the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) employs more than 3,500 people and has an annual capacity of 14,600,000 bbls, of crude oil 7,750,000 bbls, of gasoline 2,190,000 bbls, of refined oil 1,800,000 bbls, of lubricating oil 35,000 tons of refined wax 100,000 tons of asphalt products 14,000 tons of candles 2,500 tons of parowax 24,000 tons of grease These plants are the visible expression of an ideal. To bring them to their present degree of efficiency required years of time, inten­ sive training, wide experience and almost limitless resources. The seven men who guide the affairs of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are plan­ ning constantly new methods and more ways to achieve greater effectiveness in serv­ ing the people depending upon the Company for petroleum products. These men are working to perfect a complete service—first by manufacturing a maximum number of useful petroleum products and second by maintaining a complete system of distribution which shall carry these products to the consumer whenever and wherever he may have need for them.

We'-have already placed our reservation for a quantity of old reliable International Harvester brands of twine. And we are here to tell you that the prices this year sound mighty good. There is very little difference in price between the best and the poorest twine this year. But don’t you forget it, the difference in quality is just as great as it ever was. Har­ vester twines are as free of lumps and thin spots as they were last year. Poor twine has ' its usual, irregularities. The only kind of twine that pays is the one that binds the grain securely, and is free from breakage, snarling and slippage. You will find this twine among the International Harvester brands at the lowest price in over five years. We think we have ordered enough twine to take care of all our customers, but there is going to be a big demand for our twines this year because of the new low price. There--fore we are urging everyone to give us an idea of their requirement* so that we can assure them prompt harvest-time delivery. Don't take a chance and wait until the last minute to get your twine. You may be forced to buy some low-grade twine that will result in loss of time and grain. Come over to the elevator next time you are in town. If you don't find us up in front you'll probably find ‘us at the back, setting up those McCormick-Deering Machines you and your neighbors will need this season.

Demand For Fords Is Constantly Growing The demand for Ford Cars and Trucks greatly exceeds our allotment of 23 cars a month, and it will be impossible for us to give you a definite date of delivery un­ less you place your order immediately. < Here’s the Reason for the Big Demand for Fords The Ford Motor Company, Detroit, has just made public a list of recent im­ provements in the mechanical features of Ford cars. Asserting that Ford cars are better today than they ever have been before, the statement adds that fuel consumption is lower; the engine is even more efficient than formerly; imprpvementa in the springs and steering apparatus insure easier rid­ ing and driving qualities; a new head lamp lens, which complies with all state laws, improves the road light; and that many other minor betterments have been made. Ford pistons and connecting rods have been re-designed and are matched for weight before assembling into motors. This reduces vibration and gives the motor a quicker pick-up. The new pistons weigh three-quarters of a pound less than those formerly used. A highly polished crank shaft bearing surface also reduces wear and, added to the piston and connecting rod Improvements, insures a smoother-run­ ning and better balanced motor. The material used in the Ford crank shaft and the care and precision in its manufacture make it second to none. The new Ford carburetor gives increased acceleration. Though not radically different from the carburetor previously used, the new construction improves the allaround performance of the motor, giving it a quicker pick-up and a greater flexibili­ ty of action. t The wiring system has been completely re-designed, and while it costs more to install than the old system, is most efficient, proof of which is evidenced by the fact that it affords a fire insurance rate as low as the higer priced cars on the mar­ ket. ' ; Many other changes have been made. A 16-inch steering wheel is now stand­ ard equipment; Timken roller bearings are used in the front wheels; one-piece pressed steel running-board brackets insure body rigidity and eliminate vibration and body noises; a dash weather trough prevents rain from reaching coil terminals or dash wiring; the steering mechanism has also been improved; and the tools sup­ plied to purchasers of Ford cars have also been improved in quality. Another im­ portant improvement in the truck chassis is the adoption of cord tires as standard equipment on the rear wheels. The change made some time ago in the seating arrangement of the Touring Gar has met with widespread approval. By lowering the seats and altering the seat backs, greater comfort was added. It Is pointed out that retail sales of a million cars and trucks yearly, and the consumption of raw and finished product* at a cost of approximately one million dollars a day make it possible to sell Fords at their present low prices and at the same time to produce a car of exceptionally high quality. - Salesrooms Open Evenings and AU Day Sundays Hastings, SPRINGTIME Is FIXING time.

Poles and wires crusfagd by storm have been replaced sufficiently to meet demands of business. very E . ' It was an appalling task. Nearly 20,000 poles and 6,500 miles of circuits were destroyed, with tremendous losses in money. But the people of the Telephone Company realized the dependence of the industrial and social welfare of' every community on the wires and made every effort to restore service. Not a minute, night or day, did they relax their efforts. Today,.therefore, their first task—that of establishing emergency circuits—is finished. And they appreciate the patience and understanding of their difficulties shown by users of the Toll wires. We are pleased to announce that Long Distance is again at your service.

No other business serves an entire community. No other business owes its very existence to the immediate com­ munity which it serves. No other business needs to strive harder to please the public. People can get along without fas and electricity. They used to before the advantages of these modem conveniences were known. It used to take days to travel from New York City to the National Cap­ ital, Washington, D. C. Now this is done in a few hours. But who wants to return to the days of kerosene lamps, wood stoves and slow travel? The main aim of any Public Utility is to see that its customers are satisfied. That is the reason why we carry Gas Stoves and Ranges. We carry only stoves and ranges that we know will give you the ven' bast of sen ice. You can see the folly of our putting out cheap and unreliable goods. The best and only place to get appliances, the use of which depends upon your public utility, is from the Utility itself. They know better than anyone else which will give you the best service. We have a very complete line of gas stoves and ranges that are guaranteed to give satisfaction, prices are right and convenient terms can be arranged. Thornapple Gas & Electric Co. Phone 2305 twice Inaugurated Nash Leads the World in Motor Car Values ! " I Nash Sets a New Sales Record First Quarter of 1922 Shows More Than a 51% Increase Over the Similar 1921 Period But a short time ago your attention was drawn to the fact that Nash had risen in volume of business from 24th to 8th place in the indus­ try during the five years from 1917 to 1922. 0 A careful study of the comparative annual sales totals for all manu­ facturers showed that this was the fastest gain achieved during this period. a It would seem as if there was but slight hope of improving upon such a notable record. Yet, in summing up the results of the initial quarter of 1922, it was found that actual Nash car shipments ran more than 51 /*' ahead of the total shipments for the same three months of 1921. Evidently there is a very decided and very widespread preference for the Nash. , . And it is equally evident that this preference is growing every­ where, vigorously and largely. . Apparently the American public, purely of its ownxaccord and by its own process of reasoning, has come deliberately ahrPwith con­ viction to the conclusion that the Nash is an investment value worthy of especial favor. For certainly no car Save one of uncommon merit could possibly have inspired such concerted and country-wide good will. •3 The new Nash line includes twelve models: Four and six cylinders; open arfB closed; two, three, four, five, and seven passenger capacity; a price range from $965 to $2390, f. o. b. factory.

Tho building committee together with representatives of tho Barry County Hospital Association andjho board of Lady Managers of the hospital, met at tho site and selected tho snot whore tho building is to bp erected. Aa wo have before explained, this site Is ideal for tho location of u ho*|dtal. It is on West Green HL, just oast of tho tract given by the Messer Brothers to tho state of Michigan for tho fish hatchcry. Thia state park will bo beautiflrd/and will in reality bo a part of tho setting for tho hospital, and will insure two things: (1) that no building will be' erected on tho grounds west of tho hospital, and (2) a delightful park which will adjoin and become almost a part of the hospital grounds. The hospital site includes the beautiful grove north of where tha building will bo situated, and also several rods east­ ward, so that no building will ever in­ terfere with tho hospital, or with its being a quiet as well as a beautiful place. Tho hospital itself will be 42 by 00 feet with a tbrrnce of 22 foot on the cast side and 12 feet on the west end. It will bo three stories, with a largo snd well lighted and ventilated base­ ment, which will.bo a very jiseful and helpful factor in tho work of tho insti­ tution. A large elevator will reach all throe stories and the basement, and access to the elevator will bo very easy for patients who may be brought to the hospital^ or taken from any floor to the operating rooms. . On the eastern side Is a solarium or sun parlor on tho second floor. Wide halls, with a floor covering of mastic, which insures quietness, {five: easy ac­ cess to every room in tho building. On the-first floor arc located the offices. On tho third the operating rooms. There will be nn X-ray machine of tha latest and best type. Too operating room's equipment will be the vary latest and best. There will be four general wardr and a maternity ward, adjoining it a delivery room that will insure privacy as wolf as earn. Thera will be 15 pri­ vate rooms,' four with private lavatory and bath. The new Pennoek hospital will have a normal capacity of 30 patients, but should tho emergency require a total of 40 can bo cared for. For a long limo the present hospital has been taxed to its limit, and on several occasions Clients dcslrons of entering eould not, cause of lack of room. There arc now two ambulances in Hustings, nnd good roads leading to this eity from HE MOE Bill SCHEDULE FOR JUNE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS WILL MEET HERE nearly every direction. When it is gen­ erally understood, as it soon will be, that Hastings has an up-to-date hospi­ tal, not as largo as tho big cities may boast, but fully as complete in its ap­ pointments for tho number it will ac­ commodate; and that hero patient* will bo given every earn nnd attention which they eould receive in a hospital in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo or Battle Creek, tho number of patients who will como to Pennock hospital will largely increase. Tho aim will be to make It ■■ "homey” as such an institution ean be made, and to make its rates a* low ■* enn be afforded. « is planned also to do as much charity work as possible for the benefit of such a* mar need, but eannot afford to pay for hospital treatment. The directors of this hospital con­ sider that thia i» a Barry county insti­ tution, conducted not for profit, but for tho benefit of the people of Barry coun­ ty, and to give them at the least possi­ ble expense the best possible hospital service. There will not be in thi* state, ■nd we doubt if In this country, anoth­ er hospital that ean compare with it in a.county of 22,000 people, and contain­ ing a eity no larger than Hastings.

EACH PAY $50 FINE AND $7.20 AS COSTS Milo and Rolland Barry Had 200 Fish in Their Possession,* Contrary to Law Milo nnd Rolland Barry, of Castletbn, were brought into Justice Solden'a court Saturday, an »•charge of having in their possession 200 fish—blue gills, speckled and black buss—during tho closed season. Deputy Game and Fish Warden Chris Millenbn«hcr made the complaint. Aa tho fish ware irrefutable witnesses of tho violation, and Milo and Rolland had them, there was noth­ ing to do but plead guilty; and they did. Justice Selden assessed 850.00 fine and <7.20 costa to each, which they paid. It must not be presumed that ’ tho fellows who happen to be eaught are tho only ones who violate the game and fish laws. 'But it seems necessary to the law-enforcing officers to make those who are caught nay the penalty, so that tho lesson may be duly impressed that fish in the waters of lakes nnd streams belong to the people of Michigan—«11 the people—and can ogly bo taken lawfully in such wayajand nt such times as tho people through their repre­ sentative* in tho legislature mny pro­ scribe. • ASKS FOR SUGGESTIONS FOR THE.HEXT YEAR HIGH SCHOOL NINE Rev.

CAR SMASHED FRIDAY AFTERNOON ON BROADWAY A Bad Gomer and Fast Driving by High School Student Caused tho Accident —'A smash up of Glen Collins’ ear oc­ curred Friday afternon at tho corner of Walnut and Broadway when a high school student driving n ear north on Broadway smashed into him. The stu­ dent was exceeding tha-spoad limit, and tho growth of shrubbery in tho center of Broadway prevented his seejng the approaching car in timo to dodge, and it was coming so fast that ho could not have protected himself in any event. There is 'considerable complaint of fast driving by some of the high school students who use automobiles tn going baek nnd forth to school. ' plans for tho coming Brotherhood year, beginning next October. I nm not re­ ferring to speakers for next year, for I am certain tho committee can arrange that part of tho work. Tho Brotherhood is not n money­ raising organization, qnd cannot there­ fore, undertake any program calling for any considerable expenditure of cash. It cannot and ought not-<o take any part in politics, ss that term is common­ ly understood, although it ean be and should bo vitally intcreatod .in the moral phases of local issues. While it is connected with a denomination, its work is, and should bo undenominational5 I am convinced that there is much that the Brothcrhond might and there­ fore should do that would minister to the social, moral and xpiritual good of Hastings and of the •urrounding terri­ tory, that would eall for comparatively little money and that would be in no sense political or denominational. I have no definite projoeta in mind. But I ask tho member* of tha Brother­ hood to think about the matter. Our next mooting will bo Tuesday evening. [ Mny 23, when Rev. Russell Broody will he tho speaker. Will any member who thinks of any work for the good of Hastings and the xnrrotmding coun­ try, whieh ho would like to havo tho Brotherhood do next year, plcaso to kindly write me hi* *uggMtions and cither mail or hand the same to me be­ fore tho next meeting.

CASE Early ing It to Ground—Narrow Es­ Little Harold Perking Struck by an Auto, Thrown Under It, But Not Seriously Hurt JUDdl SMITH HANDS DOWN While Harold Perkins, tho 7 year old son-of Mr. and Mr*. Don Perkins nf this city, was playing with another boy at tho High school grounds Fri­ day, his playmate pushed him out into the street in front of an approaching automobile that was unseen by* them. Harold was struck by the car and thrown under. Ho wns removed to the High school building and very pluckily refused to let a doctor bo called for him, saying that he was nil right nnd that he'didn’t want Ms parents to know anything about it. Dr. Mohler was called, however, and was usable to discover any injury of a serious nature, though ho was severely shaken up, sore and lame from his ex­ citing experience. At last accounts ho was getting along nicely, and will soon bo ready for the next thing that comes along. PAGES 1 to 8 HIS OPINION IN CASE LABT WEEK SUIT WAS FOR CAR LOAD SHINGLES SENT TO COOK Jndfe Smith Finds "No Gause of Action," and Orders Plain­ tiffs to Pay the Costs Judge Smith last week disposed of tho ea«e of tho Old Oregon Lumber nnd Shingle Co. v*. Txwi* H. Cook, a lum­ ber dealer of Nashville'. Tho case pras tried before tho court without a jury. It was quite an interesting esse. It appears that April 4, 1917, Mr. Cook gave a verbal order for 200,000 shingle* to a representative of R. W. Munger A Co., of Elkhart, Ind., who were representing the Oregon Co., of Seattle, Wpsh., in tho transaction. The Munger Co. wired the order to the Seat­ tle concern, who on April 20 wrote Mr. Cok saying tkey had received tho order from Munger. They, explained that the ear situation was *criou* for them, and they could not tell just when they could ship, but that-they had been promised bettor service In tho near fu­ ture. Tho Oregon Co. in this letter told Cook that if ho countermanded rho or­ der on receiving this lotted, they would accept tho countermand; other­ wise they would proceed to fill and —‘ ship the order when they could, The order was shipped from Seattle ■nd billed Juno 4 following. June 25 tho Oregon Co. wrote Mr. Cook that they bad just received a letter from, tho Munger Co. directing them to cancel the order, but they stated to Cook that it waa too late, a* tho order had been shipped, and that in any event their letter of April 20 had given him tho opportunity to can­ cel, which he had not done, therefore they would havo to look to him for pay. July 5, when he received thi* firm's loiter, Cook wired them that “ Munger 4 Co. supposed to caneel weeks ago. If shipment arrives will hold subject to your orders.’’ Tho ear load camo in duo course, and Mr. Cook, declined to accept it, except on term* of hi* telegram. The shingle* were some timo later sold to Jackson parties, at a loss of 8169.05 from the invoicq price. Demurrage, freight, handling nnd unloading charges reached <512.60, making a total loss of <881.71, for which tno Orcgnh Co. brought suit April 24, W19, in the cir­ cuit court hero against Cook. In his opinion filed Jest week, Judge Smith decree* that there is .no cause of action, and assesses tho cost* of the suit against the Oregon Co. Tho court hold* that Mr. Cook’s order being a verbal order, and not signed by him, nnd being given to Munger k Co. and not to the Oregon Co., that tho last named was bound by the countermand whieh ho gave to Munger k Co., and that tho defendant was therefore un­ der no legal obligation to notify the plaintiff, but had a right to expect Munger k Co. to notify them. SOME DISCOMFORTS IN PIONEER DAYS W. N. Devine, of Morgan, Telia of Difficulty of Marketing Wheat In Early Day In speaking of the early history of Michigan, W. N. Devine of Morgan 7‘JIy .father, Charles Devine, was one of the first settlers near Marshall. The first wheat he raised, he took on a wagon to Ypsilanti, 62 miles distant, and only received 02% cents per bushel. It took fivo days to make the round trip.as the roads were terrible./ The first hogs he fattened ho dressed and bought enough more to make a* load, and took them to Detroit, 112 miles. Ona of his neighbors, Isaac Lnbraturn, was tho first man to drive a horse team into Marshall. “A strange Incident occurred soon after my fnther settled in Michigan. One night there wns a horse stolen and a reward was offered for Its return. The sheriff, a chap by tho nnmo of Bean, went to look for it. Ho camo back in a «hort timo with the horse and re­ ceived tho reward. Tho sheriff told a large gathering on tho st{£ct that he had found where tho horso was con­ cealed, had run the thief into the woods, and shot him twice, but ho got away. My father, who was Deputy Sheriff, decided that tho sheriff had stolen the horse to get tho reward.. Bean, the sheriff, disappeared shortly after. My father followed his trail and found him somewhere in Indiana. Mr. Bean was then sent to tho state's £rison. Later, when ho was released, » came bank to Marshall, and sold popcorn on tho street, having lost ono of his hands in some machinery nt the prison. Ho wns khown for many years as "Popcorn Bean." cape for Walter Thompson Tuesday morning about five o'clock lightning struck the barn of Mrs. Frank Fifield on West State street, act; ting it on fire and burning it to the ground. ■ Walter Thompson, who kept his horses in the barn, was in tho building at tho time the lighning struck, the bolt striking within a few feet nf him, knocking him down and rendering him unconscious for a short time. When he eamc to he smelled smoke, and while still in a dazed condition, went to the house and summoned help. It was a narrow escape for Mr. Thompson and an experience ho doesn’t want to dupli­ cate. v . ’By quick work tho hones were nil taken from tho building, there being considerable difficulty ,however, in res­ cuing the last one. An alarm was turned*in nnd the fire thick started for the aceno, the roof be­ ing in flames before it arrive’d, and tho bnilding beyond hope of rescue. It is stated that the loss will run from 82500 to 83000, with insurance of 81500. BARRY CO.

It is fitting that th' hospital should have the Pennock name, becanre of these generous gift*. (2) The splendid generosity of tho late.Chester Messer and nf his brother Richard B., aad of Emil Tydcn, caeh of whom pledged *10.000, and in addjtion the Mrosc-r Brothers gave the six acre tract of land on whieh the hospital Is to be oroeted. (3) Tho turning over to tho Hospital Association of the fllO.OOd balance in tho Loyalty League fund by the donors thereof. (4) The generous response of tho citizens of Hastings to solicitors for the new hospital, the largest single gifts being those of the Grand Rapids Bookcase Co.. tho E. W. Bliss Co.. »J,000: tho I’. 8. Rnbbor Co., owners of the Wool Boot Co., *5.000, There were several individual gifts of *250 to *1,000. (5) The fine record rundc by the Pennock hospital since it wns established in the old Striker home, and for whieh the hard working, loyal Board of Lady Manager.* deserves the greatest credit. The hospital, under their njnn ngement has won n host of friends in eity and eonnty. As is generally known, the directors of the Hospital Association asked for bids for the ercetjon of the new bnildmg. There were no Iocs) bids, nnd the two or three from outside were so high that they were considered prohibitive. There is every promise of a very active building reason this year in all the larg­ er cities, so that large eity contractors any building operations outside their own localities unless they were certain of a large profit. Therefore the directors, with the anpmvnT of the architect, re­ jected all the bids. W’ith the fall sanction of Architect Foster, the board of directors decided, inasmuch ns they wonld have to employ a superintendent to see that the build­ ing plans and specifications were carried out by any contractor, If the job were let by contract, and ns nil the bids were in their judgment and that of the ^rehitect far too high, thnt they would engage a superintendent who would himself direct all the building opera­ tions. and be directly responsible to the board. This would save time and n considerable money also. Therefore, by unanimous notion, the board of directora an<l the building committee have employed Mr. I. L. Boyes, of the R. C. - Fuller Lumber Co., to superintend the erection of the hospital building and Itn equipment of heating apparatus, plumbing, 'elevator, cte^ etc., subject to the board sad its building committee. The agreement provides that the Fuller Lumber Co. will give to tho Hospital Association the benefit of its experience and credit in-the purchase of all needed materials and supplies for the building, and do this without any profit“ whatever, except the compensation paid for Mr. Boyes* services ns .mperintendenf. Mr, Boyes will devote his entire time to the construction of tho building. As far as possible, home labor will be em­ ployed. Because practically all the money was raised in the citv and comi­ ty, most of it in Hastings, the directors felt that, under the circumstances, as much of the money as possible should be spent here. The Fuller Co. give the Hospital Association the benefit of not only wholesale prices, but also of every discount, including the eash discounts on all purchases. The board are confi­ dent that there will be general appro­ val of their action. MOTHER'fl DAY PROCLAMATION. By the Governor. Following the beautiful custom with which we have become familiar in re­ eent years, the time has come to name a day to be known as Mothers* Day. a day whose observance shall honor the memory of our departed mothers and pay a tribute of gratitude and affection to those who arc still with us. In the watchful, tender care which guided our earliest footstep*, in the constant plan ning for our welfare and our happiucs«, ia the unfailing love that has blessed ns all through the years up to manhood and womanhood and that still blesses and eheers us, though it be but a dear memory, in these things we find ahun dant reason for humble and grateful . acknowledgment of the debt we owe our mothers. The very name of mother is a synonym for love and devotion and willing aaerifirc. Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Governor of the State of Michigan, I do hereby designate and proclaim Bunday, May fourteenth, 1922, as Mothers* Day, and I call upon our people, both old* and young, to gntber in their several places of worship nnd take part in service* appropriate to the day. And let absent »nn» rind daughters take this occasion to visit the mother in the old h'^mc. or. where such n visit is impossible, let them send a message of ehecr nnd greeting. In neeordanco with a resolution of the Congress of the United Btatca, I further request the people of Michigan On the day aforesaid to display the United- Sts tea flag in their homes and in other suitable places, as a fitting ex­ pression of motherhood.

No day is too long, no time too bury, for him to plan to help some boy ,or some girl, along tho path-of life, and help to smooth tho woy over places that may look rongh and perhaps cheerless.

THE HASTINGS BANNER PART TWO Systematic Saving Prevents Want and Dependence A Bank's dealings with its patrons are PRIVATE and are not to be dis­ cussed. But it will not be violating any confidence to say that more people are Saving Money than ever before. "Experience" is the greatest Teacher in the world, and people more than ever before, are conning to realize that if they EVER join the ranks of the successful ones; if they ever hope to place themselves above the conditions of WANT and DEPENDENCE in their old age, that they MUST com­ mence SAVING MONEY during the period of their lives while their EARNING "POWER" is unimpaired. 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 wages who haven't given the question of SAVING money now, while their earning power is at its best, the con­ sideration they should. It is to them that this advertisement is especially directed, and this Bank is able to help them. Why,not come in and talk over a plan for SYSTEMATIC SAVINGS?

WEDNESDAY, MAT 10, I M2 yam «urrsw The ELconomical Housewife Bakes With Flour That Gives Best Results FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR No doubt when you threw away your baking you dismissed the sub­ ject from your mind with the thought that it was oply another case of “bad luck.” But tha read.fact is that it was NOT a case-of bad luck— it was a case of “poor flour.” WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT IT IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL FLOUR TO USE. z If you ever get the idea tha^ vou are cutting down your living ex* penses by using flour that perhaps may coat you a few cents leu per .sack than FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR then you've got “another guess coming." You may be thinking all the while about the few pennies that you THINK you saved on the purchase of that sack of flour. Now did you REALLY save even those few pennies? .You can't have good bakings from poorly milled flour. Where the grain has to be “RUSHED” through three or four sets of rolls in order to get a PRODUCTION that will be PROFITABLE, you cannot J expect to get a good, smooth, even QUALITY of flour. You certainly would not expect a good batch of bread from dough that had been “kneaded” only about a quarter as much as it should have been. Then why expect to make good bread from flour that has been rushed through a mill, and is really only about one-quarter manufactured? You haven't thought about that baking you had to throw away. You hadn't thought about that batch of bread that waa so soggy that the most of it had to go to the chickens, or the pigs. You haven’t thought about the hard work you had to put in to prepare and bake that bread. You had to throw away not only the bread but YOUR TIME as welt Don't you count your time WORTH ANYTHING? You surely ought to. It would COST MONEY to get anyone to-do the work you are doing. The real fact is that the actual cost of the flour and the time you .THREW AWAY on one baking, would MORE than make up the difference between the cost of the sack of poor flour you bought, and a sack of FRENCH'S WHITE LILY—the best flour your^rnoney can buy. FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR goes through 17 sets of rolls, every particle of flour going through the same process until it finally comes out a perfectly smooth, even granulation. ' If you have been using an ordinary flour and will try a sack of FRENCH'S WHITE LILY you will readily see the difference between it and the ordinary flour.

We have already placed our reservation for a quantity of old reliable International Harvester brands of twine. And we are here to tell you that the prices this year sound mighty good. There is very little difference in price between the best and the poorest twine this year. But don't you forget it, the difference in quality is just as great aa it ever was. Har­ vester twines are as free of lumps and thin spots as they were last year. Poor twine has its usual irregularities. The only kind of twine that pays is the one that binds the grain securely, and is free from breakage, snarling and slippage. You will find this twine among the International Elevators at Hastings, Lake Odessa, Woodland, Coats Grpve and Woodbury. Hastings Phone 2257. We think we have ordered enough twine to take care of all our customers, but there is going to be a big demand for our twines this year because of the new low price. There­ fore we are urging everyone to give us an idea of their requirements so that we can assure them prompt harvest-time delivery. Don’t take a chance and wait uptil the last minute to get your .twine. You may be forced to buy some low-grade twine that will result in loss of time and grain. Come over to the elevator next time you are in town. If you don't find us up in front you'll probably find us at the back, setting up those McCormick-Deering Machines you and your neighbors will need this season.

Tn It wore recalled tbo unusual circumstance* Surrounding tho found­ ing of Lake Odessa, the site of whieh fifty years agd was a fine wheat rail Ing section. ' Tho boom started when the rumor enme that a noir railroad wns to go through the southern part of the coun­ ty, and two shrew <1 men made a bi A for wealth in securing property In tho vicinity of tho phiposed line—H. R. Wager, of Ionia, and Frank Clark, of Bonanza Corners: The latter platted hl* ground 40 acres Sround of «f'« •Err’ north n”Gh of °f Tupper take, giving it tho name of tho village of Bonanza.

It was accepted and the principal part of Lake Odessa stands today on this property, mnny of tho apple trees now in the town being a part of thu original or-1 chard on tho tract. The principal part of the town was platted in June, 1837, and the peo|Je whose land adjoined got tho fever and everyone platted. People were Im­ pressed and rushed in something akin to western boom town methods, most of tho lots selling for <100 each.

We know of few whose wide training mnke them so well fitted for this impor­ tant position as Lynn. Asido from be­ ing familiar with every branch of athh-tics, from tho ground up, Lynn has a splendid record in scholarship at Michigan Agricultural College, from thn engineering department of which ho graduates in June. Coach-Brewer of M. A. C., gave Bupt. 'KoyworthTtho finest kind of recommen­ dations concerning his work both a* u trainer and us an executive, as Lynn has had charge of gym classes for some time at the eollcgo. Ho will be espe­ cially valuable because ha is a general all-round athlete, having given a good account of himself in about every known game. His experience in ^ho World war when he served- with the Engineering Corps in Russia, will also be of ad­ vantage’ in tho drills nnd setting up excreises which should bo made a strong feat uro of High school and grade work. Congressman'Ketcham is a graduate of Hastings High, haa been a teacher in the High school,-a member of the board of education and haa always had a deep interest' in city school nffaira.

Mr. J. B. Ed­ monson, state inspector of schools for both the University of Miehignn and tho North Central Association, was-re­ cently here to inspect tho local schools, mid must have found conditions entirely satisfactory, for the continuance was given without a single suggestion of any change or improvement in tho work of Hastings schools. This is of much value to graduates of Hastings schools, as it will admit them on their certificates of graduation here, to any collage or university in tho It is the only aahaal in Burry county where this is true. Many schools that charge tuition, aro on neither tho University nor North Central Association list; and this means that graduate* of such 'schools must take examination on all required sub­ jects for entrance to any eollcgo or university in this state and ovary other also. There arc many Michigan schools that arc on tho Michigan University list but not on tho North Central list; so that a graduato from any ono of these who wished to attend sny the Wisconsin or Ohio university, or tho Chicago university or any college in the fivo states of tho North Central Association, outsido of Michigan, would find his certificate of graduation from a rchool not on the N. C. list of no val­ ue in gaining entrance. Hastings has every reason to be proud of tho excellence of her schools, and they nro surely in tho very best condition right now.

When It Comes To Underwear There Is Now April Sets A New Sales Record No need of experimenting, all you need to do is to say "Munsingwear’’ and your troubles are over. We could write a book about the good qual­ ities of these goods, but what’s the use! Try it and be convinced. Again buyers of 7% first mortgage real estate serial gold bonds have given dramatic demonstration of their overwhelming preference for Federal Bonds. Our statisticians have just completed the work of correlating and analyzing the figures for April sales of Federal Bonds, both here in Michigan and throughout the entire United States. Their report shows that the volume of our April business was the greatest for a single month in all the history of the Federal Bond & Mortgage Company. Judging as accurately and conservatively as we can with such facts as are in our possession it would seem almost an exact certainty that the Federal sales total for April was something over four times as large as that of the next largest Michigan first mortgage bond house. . Tliat comparison is an unsatisfactory one, we grant you,since this other company is so far to the rear of Federal that viewed even in the kindest light it can scarcely be considered a rival' for the goodwill of bond buyers. Yet, in another way, it is an illuminating and interesting contrast since It does serve to emphasize anew the great faith investors place in Federal Bonds. And the real wonderment of it all is that other first mortgage bond companies do not awaken to a realization of what a vast market there is for bonds that even begin to approximate the goodness of Federal Bonds. One thing is certain, and that is that each year will see the market for less worthy bonds narrow and fade while the market for Federal Bonds, the bonds the world knows are Better Bonds, will continue to expand vigorously and widely. For the lofty standard of Federal Bonds is educating people to a new and stricter sense of values, so that it is becoming increasingly difficult to induce buyers to accept bonds that fall so far short of Federal Bonds. 7% FEDERAL BONDS Are Better Bonds D.

Season of the Year ' Tfiat the use of poison bait In tho control of onion maggots, pests which damage tho state crop annually, is made possible by the maggots’ peculiar at­ traction for sweets, is the opinion of Prof. R. II. Pettit,'head of the entomol­ ogy department at the Michigan Agri­ cultural College? The small white worms which tunnel in onions, especially during tho early part of -tho season, nre tho immature stage of the onion maggot, the adult of which is n fly whieh closely resembles a house fly, except that it is smaller. Tho adults aro partial to sweets and this makes it possible to draw them to poison baits before tho eggs are laid. Tho following method of mixing tho liait-is advised by Professor Pettit:— Dissolve one fourth of nn ounce of sodium nrsenito or sodium nrscuutc in a gallon of hot water ami ndd half pint of New Orleans molasses The addition of a slier of onion make* the syrup more attractive to the fltes.

Balcomb and the New School of Secretarial Science For High School Graduates Only at Michigan Business & Normal College Battle Creek, Michigan We have just perfected arrangement* for Mr. C. A. Halcomb to come with ua June 1, 1922, a> director of the new School of Secretarial Science. Mr. Balcomb ia a man of auperior mental attainments, a man of broad, general education, and a breadth of experience that ia not usually found in any one individual. Mr. Balcomb ia an expert shorthand writer and re­ porter and ia recognized as being one of the moat efficient and capable instructors in America today. In bringing Mr. Balcomb to Battle Creek, we feel that we are offering an opportunity to the young people of thia vicinity to obtain a training along the Stenographic and Advanced Secretarial Science lines not to be found elsewhere. ■ - WHAT MEN WHO KNOW SAY OF THIS WORK “You have secured tho services of a One “The outliQC of your course for the School teacher, one enpoble of producing results af Secretarial Science appear* exceptionally which will not only make him n favorite with good to me nnd I havo no fenrs for it* future tho student* but with educational authorities »u*cc*«.” ns well.

A. BALCOMB Director of School of Secretarial Science. OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SECRETARIAL PROFESSION It is a recognized fact today that secretarial work is just as much a profession as law, medicine, engi­ neering or teaching, and requires special training. A few years ago, an average.. Stenographic Training,/fend espe­ cially if backed by a few months' Business and Bookeeping founda­ tion work, was considered sufficient for secretarial duties, but with the growth of big business and the cohsequeht new and varied demands, the executive of today has impera­ tive need of a secretary with a prac­ tical. advanced training of full col­ legiate grade along the lines of Sec­ retarial Science. Business execu­ tives who are paid from $5,000.00 a year up cannot afford to waste hours of valuable time instructing employees in the thousand-and-one details which the modern secretary is expected to know. > Michigan Business and Normal College iscomposedof five., distinct, schools: The School of Business and Bookkeeping. The School of Shorthand and Typewriting. The School of Secretarial Sci­ ence. The School of Accounting and Business Administration. The / Commercial Normal Training School. . The courses offered in the School of Accounting and Busi­ ness Administration, the School of Secretarial Science, and tho" Commercial Normal Training School are courses of full colle­ giate grade, open qnly to young people who are gradu­ ates of accredited high schools, offering full four-year courses, or who possess the equivalent education through other insti­ tutions of learning. The New School ,of Secretarial Science in . connection, with the Michigan Business and Normal Col­ , lege offers young men and young Women who are not satisfied to re­ main in subordinate positions a pro­ fessional Secretarial Training of full collegiate grade which prepares them for responsible, confidential positions directly at the elbows of executive heads who have the pow­ er to promote them to positions of resfioiTsibjlity and trust as they dem­ onstrate their qualifications. It is also true that today as hever before in history, business execu­ tives, bankers, scientists, architects, government officials, and all classes of professional men are glad to pay excellent salaries for competent secretaries who can relieve them of detail and be of real assistance to them in their work. ENROLLMENT LIMITED AND REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION The enrollmenfin the School of Secretarial Science is, naturally, aa in the Schoo! of Accounting and Bu«inesi AdminUtration, limited. Graduates from accredited high schools only are accepted for the Secretarial Science Course. The next classes in both schools will be organized July 3, 1922. Present Indications are that early annlication will be necerfary for admission. Full details regarding the work will be supplied to those calling at the College Office. Students desiring to enter school prior to July 3, will be given special work pre­ paratory to regular classification. . 1 Michigan Business & Normal College lEitablUhid 1882) “THE SCHOOL THAT GETS RESULTS” c J.

THE HASTINGS BANNER PART TWO i WHEN? “The greatest secret of suc­ cess in life is to be ready when opportunity comes.” When will opportunity come? No one can say. That is why the man who is constantly prepared is usually the most successful. Part of the mission of a helpful bank is to assist its patrons in accumulat­ ing surplus funds—funds usually needed when opportunity comes. In this bank we welcome the small depositor and share his pride as his sur­ plus increases and he feels the strength and security which a bank account gives. Stability is the keynote of this Banking Institution. •1 r ' '’ ' , We, employ only such methods in our business as to make this Bank the safest place for your Savings. i and 1cm thrifty in many'late aown field*. Hay—Cool and dry weather has de­ layed the growth of meadow* although the MtXndx, particularly thow of clover und alfalfa, are better than usual. The condition is rated at 86 per cent, the tame ns the ten-year average. Last year, the mmson wa* much further ad­ vanced on May 1 and showed a condi­ tion of 95 per cent which wa* later re­ duced on account of heat and drought. Tfeo prospective acreage of tame varie­ ties to bo cut is 2,957,000, one per cent more than last year. The seeding* aro relatively the poorest in the northwest-i ern counties of tho lower peninsula nnd portion* of the upper peninsula because of Injury by extreme dry weath­ er last year.

The amount of sowing nnd planting done wns 29 per cent as compared with 36.per cent ln»t year and 32 per eent tho ten-year average. Pastures—Pastures aro backward and show n condition of 74 per cent ngninrt 94 per cent on Mny 1, 1921, and n tenyear average of 78 per rent, finow cov­ ered tho greater part of northern coun­ ties until near tho end of April, so thnt pastures had no opportunity to make any growth there. Live Btock—The regular annua) in­ quiry relative to the mortality of live stock show* tho average losses per thopsand during the past year to have been as follows:—Horses and mules from disease, 13; eattic fVom disease, 15; eattle from exposure, 4; sheep from disease, 24; sheep from exposure, 8; lambs from disease and exposure, 54; and swino from disease, 28. The condition of live stock is gener­ ally healthful, but much stock 1* thin owing to a shortage of hay and all kinds of grain except earn. Lock of cash has prevented many from buying the amount of hay nnd grains needeil to provide n properly balanced ration. Tho condition in percentage of normal is as follows: Horses, 93; cattle, 04; sheep, 91; swine, 00.

Growing crops, except hay, on May 1 show a condition lightly above thn average of tho last t.-n ycani but sev­ eral points below last year's crops on tho corresponding dale. Tho season is from two to three weeks later and tho amount of spring work accomplished is less. However, tho «> <»ling of oats and barley waa progressing rapidly at tho end of April. A shortage of hay and some of the grains have lowered the condition of live stock. The mortality of spring lambs and piga ia above nor­ mal, heavy losses of tho latter being an almost universal complaint throughout Michigan and adjoining states.

Tho condition of 84 per cent is right per cent lower than on the same dato last year, ono per eont higher than one year ago and two per cent better than the ten-ycar average.

Good paint preserves your buildings, just like your wife's canning preserves fruit In the old days, painting was done mostly for looks; but people know today that ft makes buildings last longer. L When finished with the soft mellow tints of Devoe Velour Finish (a flat oil paint) walls not only help to make the things in front of them beautiful, but become beautiful themselves. And because such walls are washa­ ble, (heir cleanliness and fresh beauty are easily preserved by the occasional use of soap, water and a rag. Devoe Velour Finish can be applied on any interior wall or ceiling. Devoe Products are time-tested and proven,—backed by the 168 years’ ex­ perience of the oldest paint manufact­ uring concern in the U.S. Founded 1754. High Standard brings more lastingness than any other paint we have ever seen. It looks better as long as it lasts, too. It saves you money right at the start because it spreads further; therefore less paint Is needed. Come in and see the sample panels and ask for details. CARVETH A. STEBBINS J Hatting*, Mich.

ELEMENTAL FACTS The Basic Foundation of Good Flour Lies in Good WHEAT and SCIENTIFIC THOROUGH MILLING ALMOST HALF A CENTURY OF SUCCESSFUL MILLING EXPERIENCE has put us in touch with the sources where the best winter wheat can be obtained, and we pay a premium for full weight, tested wheat, for we know its importance in the making of the BEST FLOUR— ' " FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR \ That kind of wheat ia subjected in our own big mill to the BEST processing known to the art of milling under the most FAVORABLE CONDITIONS possible—steady water power and night and day operation the year round. This assures' the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE, for it doubles our output, and we own our own plant and water power. . • . FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR reduces living ex­ penses and is the most ECONOMICAL for the housewife, because of the best quality of wheat and the best processing known to the flouring business. When you buy FRENCH S WHITE LILY FLOUR you not only get all the flour goodness of the best Michigan winter wheat, but you get such an even, perfect granulation as will en­ able the housewife to get more loaves of bread and better bread from a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR ’than from any other flour. And it will also hold moisture better. If you are not now using it, we invite you to make the test. If you are, you know all we have said is so. There is more of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR used in Barry county than of all other flours combined. FRENCH’S FLOUR “MAKES GOOD COOKS.” The Middleville Koller Mills Middleville, ’ Michigan K. T.

Of course a hot water heater will keep on sup­ plying you with hot water month after month with­ out any attention what­ ever, but it will use leas gas if you keep it clean. Here are some general hints which will be found useful: ■ Keep copper coils bright and clean. Use a brush or cloth for this purpose once a "Week or so. See that door fits close­ ly when closed. The gas flame should be blue. A yellow flame indi­ cates that the burner is not getting enough air or the flame has "back­ fired” into the air mixer. If the gas flame pops when you turn it off, your burner ia not regulated properly. Do not heat more witter than yon need. Do not neglect to turn off tho gas the instant you have enough hot water.

Matthews, who lives I 3-4 miles northeast of Hastings, has a cow 4 years and 7 months old that produced 107 pounds of milk last Saturday, May 20. IN SEVEN DAYS she produced 657 POUNDS OF 3.8 TEST MILK. THINK OF IT!—31 1-4 pounds of butterfat in 7 DAYS. It takes no more time or expense to care for such a cow than it does for a grade cow or scrub cow. The milk sent to us from this ONE COW is greater in amount than that^.. from whofe herds in several instances. ■ During these days when profits are ' figured close it surely pays farmers to keep cows that produce.

No Federal Bond has ever cost any investor the loss of a single dollar either in principal or interest. The dally, weekly, monthly, and yearly sale of Federal. Bonds is rising at a far more rapid rate than the sale of any other Michigan first mortgage real estate 7% serial gold bond. The Federal Bond and Mortgage Company is, so far as we know, the only Michigan first mortgage bond house that has its own building. The largest organization in Michigan, specializing in 7% first mortgage real estate serial gold bonds, Is the Federal Bond & Mortgage Company. NORTHWEST ASSYRIA. “Teach mo to do Thy wilt” 143:10.

THE HASTINGS BANNER PART TWO - WHEN? “The greatest secret of sue cess in life is to be ready when opportunity comes.” When will opportunity come? No one can say. That is why the man who is constantly prepared is usually the most successful. , Part of the mission of a helpful bank is to assist its patrons in accumulat­ ing surplus funds—funds usually needed-when opportunity comes. ( In this bank we welcome the small depositor and share his pride as his sur­ plus increases and he feels the strength and security which a bank account gives. Stability is the keynote of this Banking Institution. We employ only such methods in our business as to make this Bank the safest place for your Savings. ‘ Wednesday, May 24, 1922'; Mr. Hartwell, a graduate of the ngricnlturaleollege—Frank Card.

The standard being fixed, it is necessary to obtain crude oil of the particular type best adapted to yield the lubri­ cating units which will conform to this standard. There are many kinds of crude petroleum, each differing one from the other. Even between the oils delivered by different wells in the same field a considerable variance has been noted. One kind of crude oil will yield a maximum of lubri­ cating oil of fine quality; another may yield little, or none, of these fractions, but will yield a maximum of gasoline.

FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR Is Made From a Special Process The truly nourishing part of flour is the gluten and phosphates. These are often lost or impaired in the process of milling, but they are preserved in the highest efficiency in FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR, the flour the beat cooks use. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY is made by a special proces* of our own from the very best of Barry County and Michigan Wheat. That is what makes it so rich and enables it to yield the purest, whitest, most fragrant and most wholesome bread, cakes and pastries. We would like to have you compare FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR with any other flour made. We invite you to do this because we know how it will -come out—TRIUMPHANT. OBDBB FOB PUBLICATION. ■aly «f Barry. ■Males «f aald Perhapsvou think you are using good flour now—but ARE YOU? You can readily tell by giving FRENCH’S WHITE LILY a trial. Make a batch of bread or biscuits from FRENCH’S WHITE LILY and then a batch from any other flour claimed to be just as good. Then let the family judge. We will abide by the decision because we are confident ■ as to what the decision will be. The family will advise you to buy FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR and then they will praise your bak­ ing still more. There is no flour made upon which there is so much work done to IMPROVE THE QUALITY as there is upon FRENCH’S WHITE LILY. We have adopted everything that is the very LATEST and BEST, and to further aid us we have all the newest models in flour­ making machinery that the inventive genius of mankind has developed, and PROVED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. f We take PRIDE in our work. We never let the question of EX­ PENSE stand in the way, as was proven a few years ago when we threw out our ENTIRE EQUIPMENT of machinery and REPLACED them with NEW ONES of the VERY LATEST MODELS. We are "On the job" every minyte and always studying to find HOW and WHERE we can improve. If you are not usinj FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR why not give it a thorough trial?

I am very pleased to have been asked to speak to you tonight, al­ though speaking is not much in my line, and I trust that you will bear with me if I am unable to makn it more interesting than I do in what 1 have to say. . In the first place I will explain that after one ha* reside*! in a country sueh as China, where the customs are ao absolutely different from our own, for a number of years, every day events are taken a* a natural thing of course, and do not injprint themselves on the memory aa they do at ths start when everything is new.

I arrived in Hongkong in tho spring of 1905, and I may say, the Impression* 1 received were entirely different from tbe ones which I had formed la my mind. I had pictured it as a place ■ with a few foreign residents living in sniali bungalow* and completely out of touch with tho rest of the world, for w* hav* a saying in fieotland, when wo wish to bo rid of a person for good:‘"Oh, go to Hongkongl" mean­ ing that if ho was there ho was ao far from the rest of the. world that he would never trouble anybody again.

Hongkong waa ceded to Groat Brit­ ain by Chin* about 1840, after sever­ al wars bad been waged to allow for­ eigner* to trade with safety.

The court of Inst resort holds that n railroad cannot be compelled to continue the operation of unproductive spur lines, but may nbol. Ish them'upon pfMf that they Mnrun* productive. , The Huprcmo court holds that the operation of nn unproductive spur line ’ by a railroad can only 'bn compelled where there is an express eontrnnt with ' the railroad requiring such opcriition. Or a state by passing necessary laws can require sueh operation. • Tn the cnse of Freeport thin decision will entail a real hardship ono thnt ought not to be bonfp by a community which did ao much to secure tho rail­ road, giving many thousands of dollars outright. When the Bern Marquette purchased the lino from Freeport to Lowell, it was extended to Behling nnd Greenville, where it connected with its Bnginnw-Ray City line, giving n through line from Chicago ami Grand Rapids to the Baginnw valley via Elm­ dale, just n few miles north of Free­ port. , Tho Pare-Marquette made that por­ tion of the line from Elmdnlc to Free­ port profitable by extending it. No attempt wan ever made to extend from Freeport south, although Hast lags. Bat­ tle Creek, and a large territory in be­ tween, might thus have been reached. nnd ji warehouse constructed, nnd the whole economic life of the people there and In the surrounding territory hns been for yenra adjusted to the fnet that Freeport had a railroad. Now to most unwarranted proceeding. Jt the milcage between Freeport and Lowell, taken as a whole line and as n part of the I’ere Marquette system, were considered we believe it would be found to pay, even if the Frccjxirt spur did not. Wo presume there nre many flve-inile stretches of tho Pore Mar­ quette lines that would never .pay if the through traffic over them did not warrant their upkeep.

The king was Augustus of Saxony and tbo boy was Hot tiger, who coni|>oM*d n tincture that was supposed . to be cnpuble of being transformed In­ to gold. But being a genius wasn't much fun for Bottlgvr. for the king locked him In a complete Inboratory • uml refused him freedom, “O'Dnlr” writes In the Milwaukee Sentinel. The restraint almost unbalanced the boy's mind. “He foamed at the mouth and knocked his head against the wall and trembled so violently that two soldiers could not bold him. And he drank 12 cans of beer a dqy without getting drunk.” It waa thotight advisable to move the boy to Dresden Uml give liiiu certain liberty. While <-ontluulng his cx;>eriments there he 'discovered the Meissen porcelain, commonly called Dresden china. This discovery re­ joiced Augwffus and bo spent large sums in constructing the Japan pat­ aca. Many workmen came from Ik-lft to make tbe new ware and soon oil Europe was buying Meissen. In gratitude tho king gave Bottlger his freedom, a ring with his effigy, two ai*s, a young bear' and credit with tlio royal banker, and In addition the profits from the porcelain factory for life. But what do you think) Bottlger died of dissipation at the age of thir­ ty-four. Snapshot of th* Sax.

Hparki, ‘ after tho pump wa* in Mailed, has thoroughly teslod it, and declare* that it* per­ formance la very unaatiafactory, and that it can aavo very little if any fuel under tho condition* that aro required in it* operation—direct pressure— which condition tho company'* repre­ sentative understood when the pump wax contracted for. ’ Friday and Batufday lart, with rep­ resentative* of tho company present and superviinng them, teats wore made, and tho beat showing the pump made wan at tbo rate of 1,278,000 gallons per day, and tho city engineer declares that It was operated at unsafe speed to do that much. Norniallv, and at a safe speed, he says it would do several hundred thousand gallon* lea*.----- * In actual operation it saves no eoal, or practically none. If it could bo run at a regular spued st about ita normal capacity with a steady and compara­ tively low pressure to work against, it would show a good saving. That is for instanc'o if Hastings had a standpipe instead of a direct pressure system, and this pump could lie operated at its capacity at a steady press uro while it wns filing the tank, it would show a saving in coal while in operation. But working, as It would here, with a vary­ ing pressure to work against, nnd at less than half it* normal capacity, tho pump show* no fuel economy over the old one. Tho representatives of tho company risked the city engineer what ho was going to do to help the pump meet tho contract reouiromento. Mr. Sparks answered that lie didn't under­ stand that thnt was his job—it wns np to (ho Canton Co. to do that. It is claimed thnt tho Cnoton Co. are not makers of pumps nt all; thnt their engineer furnished the design* and tho Klotz Co. made n few.pumps for them. It is said that they hnvo made only fl,ve. and that fowr of these wore in­ stalled in cities where they have standpi|«iy and so work under better condi­ tions than here. The city engineer believe* the pump instnllcd Iw^fc will never meet tho re­ quirement* of the contract but will hnvo to be changed in design. But that is the Canton Co’s, affair. The Akron people left Hatnrday without northing living arrived nt. Evidently they realize thnt they are up ngninst it. It Is hard to conjecture what the outcome will be. Tlie council postponed further consideration of the subject until tha next meeting of that body. Tho city Jias .invested about SI,WM) in installing the pump. If there is qn^r way to compel the Canton Co. to reimburse the city for that expense, it ought to beSlanc. It is quite evi­ dent, in fact tho city engineer nnd al­ dermen aro fully satisfied,- that thi* pump can never bo made to fulfill the requirement* of the confract. OBITUARY. John H.

EVERY ONE Who Opens a Bank Account helps to make his town richer and himself more prosperous. This is partic­ ularly true of the people who have constantly increasing bank balances. A dependable bank is a necessity in every growing center, because it pro­ vides a clearing house for funds which are put to work in the interests of local business and* farming enterprises. There is no one worth while in this community who does nqt want to add both to his own prosperity and to the public good. Therefore every pro­ gressive person should have a bank account, for this is the first thing to do to accomplish these ends. Fast Sailing Ships.

It wa* after tho last of .these war* that the Chlneac government of‘ fared tho British the choice of any of tho island* lying off tho coast of Chi­ na, and after some timo Hongkong wa* finally decided upon, a* it wa* on­ ly about 100 mile* from Canton, which at that timo was tho chief trading center. Tho word “Hongkong” in Chinese moan* “Fragrant Island.” The island is only about 12 or 14 miles in circum­ ference, with the ground rising to a height of about 2,000 feet. Tho lower part* are retained for business pur­ pose* and Chinese quarters, and the foreign residence* have been built right up tho hillside* and on the top, which i* served by an aerial railway. Road* have been built at different levels, and thcro aro at least five of * them between tho low level and tho “Peak,” as tho top of tho island 1* called.

Tha foreign population of tbo id­ land w'ooid nol bo more (han 3,000 or 0,000 including tho garrison, and it is estimated that there aro between 300,­ 000 and 400,000 Chinese, bqt of these Crhap* 100,000 live in tampans in the rbors. I will explain that a lampan ia more or less a skiff, from 12 to 15 feet long, with a mat covering over the stern, where a family of five or six may live continuously, and generally it is tho wife who is in charge, at least: when you come to bargain about ths faro she is tho one you have got to reckon with. You would wonder how •von ono. person could make hi* home in sueh a small craft, but tho Chinese aro, I think, mart indifferent to bodily comfort, and they will all curl them­ selves up under tho matting at the stern and sleep quite comfortably for them. To insure tho children from falling overboard they aro tied to the boat by a piece of string—at least the baby boy* arc, but not so much care is taken of the girls, for they aro not looked upon with much favor I am afraid.

It is no uncommon sight to SOO several of the finest liner* afloat, such a* the State lino boats, and the American Shipping Board, the Pacific Mail boat*, the Canadian Paci­ fic Co., and the boats of tho large Japanese Shipping Companies. I think I am right fu 'saying that the total tonnage of vessels entering and clearHongkong in 1020 amounted to 20,000,000 tons, which come* very near that of Now York. Hongkong will bo, a* it* growth has been largely brought about by it* be­ ing the trani-ahipmoni port fqr most of tho cargo injport* }nto China, but important port* hnvo sprung up io Shanghai, Tientsin, Hankow, and Dol­ ing, where coal 1* imported sad ex­ ported direct, but it i* expected that it will always retain its importance bn account of it* advantageous posi­ tion, *ud tho very cheap facilities which it offer*. Up until very recently there wore no import or export duties charged, and I think duties now *re only charged on luxuries. It i* a won­ derful sight to view Hongkong from the harbor at night, and to seo, tho lights of the house* which are built all the way up the hillside* to the Peak which resemble Miry lamp*; nnd again from tho Peak to view tho 1,000 or more steamers lying in the harbor.

Tho climate wns almost the opposite from thnt of_Hongkong, fur the port of Newehwang, where I wa* stationed, wa* frozen up from .the middle of November till the end of March. But <one» I became re accus­ tomed to cold weather (I was reared in one of the coldest nlaec* in the world.

These are the fuels set out by the ’record, worked out witk so much painstaking euro by Hon. John Hkelton Williams, who cer­ tainly could not be rightfully accused of any prejudice in favor of the Repub­ lican administration. Thor seem to completely answer those who aro evi­ dently undertaking to mislead the great body of American votera who have been almost overwhelmed by tiro disastrous consequences of the action'-af IJcmocratie administrative official*. The, third question—where doe* the blame really lief—has been fully on swered in the faet* thiy far present cd, but additional emphasis is at hand in thn recqiri of tho proceedings of the Federal Reserve Board. Oq page 57 of the rejsirt of the Federal Reserve Beard dated February 16, 1921, which report cover* tho full Democratic year of 1920, will be found • statement that in. Jan­ uary, 1920, the board approved an in­ crease in the rate of discount on loan* secured by Liberty bonds, Victory notes, and trade acceptance*. Toward tho end of January the rate on pa;»er veeurad .by liberty bonds.

On page 59 will be found this increased discount rate roferreoto as a means of “credit control.” which is, of course,' another name for defla­ tion. That the Federal Reserve Hoard did not start Uris deflation program in ignorauco of it* effect* is shown by a statement on jmge 11, in which tha board says that it “has never failed its discount policies.” Thus, we see that the Board lxgun its increase of discount roites^early ia 1980, sad had raised tho discount rates on commercial agriaultural, and liva-ctoek paper to 8 1-2 of 7 per eent in June of that year. It should be borne in mind that thi* action was taken by the Federal IUesrve Board, tho chairman of which was Hon.

Teneh school DISCIPLINE IS THE KEYNOTE OF CURE Wise Words From American Legion Booster Concerning TB Treatment The hardest of life is discipline. The lesson begins with babyhood and con­ tinues down to old age. It is a lesson in sclf-eontrol and in the mastery of environment that colors tho philosophy of our entire life. To the tuberculosis patient discipline is a prime requisite. Every specialist in tuberculosis is agreed that tho innn or woman who has sefiooldd himself in­ to that degree of sclf-eontrol whero he can rise above tho circumstance's of life will have an infinitely better chanee to get well than tho shilly-shal­ ly, wishy-washy type of person who constantly looks upon life merely ns a succession of events and to whom dis­ cipline means nothing. The treatment of tuberculosis Is es­ sentially a treatment of regimen, nnd regimen means discipline. It takes ■ more than ordinary mastery of the will to stay in bed when one’s physical con­ dition is seemingly such that he eould get up and walk about. To Ub»>led “dangerously siek” when you feel bet ter than you ever did in your life, re­ Sires the exercise of something more an ordinary common sense. It re­ quires vigorous discipline of Hint typo * . ,,IC ®,0,M UM?d to talk about. Discipline is a grace In itself, that may well bo sought after, in faet one of those graces that rank high in thc category of human virtues. To 4ho tuberculosis patient, it ia more: it is medicine;—in fact, it is lift. JOHNSTOWN GRANGE, Let everyone turn out’ at* Grange Saturday evening, on tho men i>ro go­ ing to entertain us.

Of* CAPITALISM Washington—If there are any com­ munists left in tho United Blates, they should And n convincing refutation nf their theories in the ap|H<ul of commun­ istic Russia for n loan of a billion dol­ lars from u capitalistic- nation. If cpm munisrn must turn to capitalism fur re lief, what basis can there bo foricpmmuniMnf • “It will be Mid, of course, that Rus sin’s condition is due to the war, but the fact is that her llesperafi* condition toiiny is chiefly due'to the cessation of production naturally incident to the ov­ erthrow of nil tho ifundamcntnl prin­ ciples of liberty—assurance of personal liberty and the rights of property. No one in Russia is produeinm materially more than he neeils for thj support of himself and family, for he knows that the-surplus would eortninly Im confis­ cated by the l-cnin regime, which boasts that it fans 'nationalized' prop erty. “Russia has latont national resotirees nnproxiinat'oly equal to if not in excess of those of tho United Mtntea. Its ;>eo pie, uh n rule, are hard working ami thrifty. Undoubtedly they were op­ pressed under the monnrchv, but their plight in tho former period wns never so bad as it is today. The people have no greater voice in their government than they had under the Czar, they are loss aeeurc in tho |M>a»ci«i<»u of homes, they have less encouragement to work and save. “Thia ia not snying that Russia should go back to tljc monarchinl form of government but, knthcr, that thencan be no hoiM* under a continuation of the communistic regime. What Rusala’s form of government shall be, is for the Russian people nlone to ray. It is incredible that they have given their willing approval to tho present ndminhtration. However, that may be, the right of the people of Russia to deter­ mine their own form of government and ita principles, is no stronger than the right of. the |M*ople of other gov­ ernments to determine whnt dealings they shall have with Russia. “The comfort nnd happiness of a na­ tion, like tho comfort nnd happiness of an individual, must always depend in part upon production of a surplus whieh affords a guarantee agniost suf­ fering in a [x-riod of misfortune.

Communism has abolished cnjiitni in Russia, but, in the hour of her need Ruaais turns to capitalistic MOplea with a demand for a loan of their savjinge-;a loon to a nation that boasts of its readiness to confiscate private property. “Tho utter inconsistency of the pos­ ition of the Soviet Government and the utter hopelessness of the pick for* loan where responsibility is denied, ought to bo evident to any communist in the United States.” OBITUARY.

HASTINGS HIGH SCHOOL Every boy or girl in Barry county who has passed the county eighth grade examination is cordially invited to attend the Has­ tings High School this coming year. Five courses are offered: College Preparatory, Commercial, Agricultural, Boys' Industrial and Girls’Industrial. Special ad­ vantages are offered students to participate in dramatics, debat­ ing, athletics,.orchestra, and glee club. Numerous school soci­ eties provide valuable training. Added advantages are to be*had in the Community Lyceum Course, the splendid churches, the , various lectures and gatherings which center about the commu­ nity of Hastings. . ' The Hastings High School is known throughout the state.for its wholesonie influence over the students.- It is the only high school in Barry county that is a member of the North Central As­ sociation of Schools and Colleges, which means that the gradu­ ates may be admitted without examination to all the leading colleges in the North Central section of the United States. » With an attendance of nearly 500 students and a faculty of 22 high school teachers, opportunities-ere offered which are not possible in a smaller high school. Yet every non-resident boy or girl receives individual attention and is welcomed by both stu­ dents and teachers. ’ , Good roads make it possible for students to come from long distances. This* year students living as far away as fifteen miles have driven back and forth daily to Hastings High School. Oth­ ers living much farther away have been at home week-ends. Provision is made at the school cafeteria for high school stu­ dents to purchase lunches at cost. Tuition is $65.00 per year. The home district must pay $60.00 of this per year if application for tyition is made to the director of the home district before, the fourth Monday in June. Application for tuition ought to be made whether or not the student is certain of attending high school next year. Address inquiries to ‘ - TTl M. R. KEYWORTH, Superintendent or W. T.

The^Good 7%’Bond Is Nearly Gone Among investors in real estate first mortgage serial gold bonds Federal bears high reputation for plain speaking and literal tnithfulnees. And because we know how whole-heartedly our statements are accepted we have refrained from publishing this important announcement until every fact warranted it. There has Just been completed by our research department a tabulation and analysis of conditions governing money and building construction throughout the country. It provides conclusive proof that the day is near at hand when good 7% real estate first mortgage serial gold bonds will not be available. ’ You will notice, please, that we stress the word good in relation to 7% bonds, and we do it purposely. Unquestionably there will be 7% bonds of a kind offered you for a long time to come by some companies. Naturally if their issues are not sufficiently worthy* to sell quickly they will continue indefinitely their efforts to dispose of them as best they can. And the more slowly such bonds are bought just that much longer will these companies endeavor by every suave phrase and by every trick of selling to convince you that 7% is still the standard bond interest rate. w We sound this warning now. As the foremost first mortgage bond house in Michigan we rather imagine that other bond houses felt it our place to lead the way. It may be they realized our position and prestige would lend this message a dignity and authority that would be lacking were it printed over the name of some other bond company. - So we earnestly urge your mature consideration of what we have said. And we suggest that you immediately place your orders and reservations with us and thus assure yourself of the 7% rate on bonds whose innate and intrinsic goodness Is unquestioned and undeniable. As we said before such bonds will not be long available. 7% FEDERAL BONDS Are Better Bonds * D. W. ROGERS REPRESENTATIVE OF Federal Bond & Mortgage Company , HASTINGS.

Do you get this? Does it mean to you what we want it to mean—does it mean that when you buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR that you can gamble you are getting your money’s worth—and a lot.more? If it does not mean that to you, then it has “missed fire,’’ for these are the very things we want to bring home to you, these are the things upon which this business has been built. We want you to know FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR—we want you to know that when we say it is guaranteed that we mean every word of it.. We want to protect you and aU our customers. If you should ever find that we have erred, then is your opportunity to put our guarantee to the acid test—your chance to know that the Middleville Roller Mills means exactly what it says—Plus.

Consists Entirely of Adjusting the Movable Segments of the Spinal Column to Normal Position WHAT ARE THE EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF CHIROPRACTIC? The world ia conservative and accept* new ideaa and method a reluctantly, and ofpmea crucifiea the apostles of the new. It can hardly be expected that the conserv­ atism that burned Bruno, poisoned Socrates and crucified Chriat, will accept the new science of Chiropractic with open and unprejudiced minds. And the tame neceasity whiqh compelled Jeaua to accept Hia apoatlea from among ignorant fiahermen of Galilee, rather than from among the scribes, and phariaeea, and publicana of Hia day, now compela the Chiropractic schools to accept thoae who preaent themselves for students, and with thia material aa the warp and woof to weave the fabric of the Chiropractic profeaaion. But in apite of thia fact, and in apite of the additional fact that their patients are recraited from among thoae upon whom othera have failed, the percentage of recoveriea with Chiropractic ia higher than that of any other method. A mediocre person with the right method ia incomparably more efficient than a gifted one with the wrong method. A gangplow in the handa of an unlettered peasant ia more efficient than a crooked atick in the handa of a college profeaaor. The properly trained Chiropractor ia a spine specialist, and hia only claim ia that in the analysia of disease and the correction of ita cause, there ia no comparison between hia and any other method. Hia training in spinal mechanic* and abnor­ malities place* him hi a class by himself. The International Association of Chiropractic Schools and Colleges, and the 21 State Legislatures that have legally established Chiropractic, are in substantial agreement on the necessity of a thorough training of it* students in the following subjects: Anatomy, Histology, Physiology, Pathology, Chemistry, Symptomatology, Orthopedy, Neurology, Analysis, Nerve-Tracing, Adjusting, Chiropractic Philosophy and Jurisprudence. ' It will be observed that the aubjecta leading directly to the degree of M. D. (which comprise about one-third of the medical course), such a* Toxicology, Bac­ teriology, Materia Medica, Surgery, etc., are omitted. This omission leave* a com­ pact curriculum of fundamental subjects, which is thorough in the field it covers, and is practically identical with the ordinary medical curriculum. The addition of aubjecta peculiar to Chiropractic and.upon which special stress i* laid, such aa Chiropractic Orthopedy, Analysis, Nerve-Tracing, Palpation and Adjusting, render* the teaching of Chiropractic in a few weeks, or by mail, an utter impossibility. Aa to the time required to master these aubjecta aufficieatly well to secure a diploma and to enable one to practice Chiropractic successfully, both State Legisla­ ture* and the Association of Chiropractic Schools and College* are tending toward a three-year resident course of six months each in a reputable school, aa the stand­ ard for the profession. All reputable school* of Chiropractic welcome a comparison with medical school* in the number of recitations and lecture period* required, and in the unconditional 100 per cent of daily attendance at all classes. * F.

Hquier. of the En­ gineering corps, U. 8. A., does not en­ thuse over the idea that anybody from a concert singer to a congressman ean use the air* in radio broadeasting and has a better scheme, ho says, for get­ ting out entertainment, news, market quotations and messages to tho elector ale, the constituency and the clientele. Tho General would use the house wir­ ing of ordinary installation for cloctrie service to receive broadcasted pro grams, with lamp socket retaining its accepted place as entranee into the do tiu-slic domicile for things electrical, be It light, heat, musie or preaching. He points out that the electric socket has boon established in the public mind as the source of every convenience and that h ought to provide entertainment General Rquicr states that under present methods of receiving, a tennns of some sort are required, with result­ ant difficulties from haphnsard con •traction already becoming common. With broadcasting through the lamn socket^ the aerial would be 'eliminated. Only a yuall condenser would Imj re­ quired between the socket and- the eeivlng set. He also wants to see ex­ periments started at oner looking to­ wards the providing of power for radio tubes so that tho inconvenicnoo of charging storage batteries will bt elim­ inated. General flquicr told the delegates to the National Electric Light association at Atlantic City a few days ago that the place to provide entertainment and news for radio fans was in the electric power central station and the route to the audience was • over distribution lines. He recognised tho need of con­ siderable experimenting before this would 'become entirely possible and satisfactory but stated that in his judgment, radio had come to stay and that the effort should be made.

Their financial condition was such that thdy needed to talk the matter over with their banker. It appeared that this banker could appreciate the value of a good bull and told the brothers to go ahead. They planned to spend about $1500 for the bull, but/ after .inspecting several of the best herds of thp country they decided they wanted a bull that would cost them $6000 instead of $1500. They again consulted their, banker and obtained his approval of their plan. Upon delivery of their $6000 bull a previous owner offered them $6500. ■» One year later this same man offered them $10,000. Later they received an offer of $15,000 from another party. They again consulted their banker and he advised them that this bull was not top good for them or their community. This bull has been exhib­ ited at many fairs and stock-shows about the country. Six Months Ago the Brothers Refused an Offer of $25,000 (or This Bull All this is only a part of the story. Every dairyman can greatly increase the worth of his herd and put money in his pocket by working along; the line suggested by this story. • During the period since the brothers purchased this $6000 bull they have sold 15 to 20 calves at $1500 each.' Messrs. Carr are the brothers in this true story and live at Bad Axe.

The very same factors that make the strong­ est bank the strongest, make the Union Mort­ gage Company the. strongest institution, financially, in the first mortgage bond field in Michigan. As everyone, with from *10 to *10,000, can, and we believe, should pur­ chase Union Bonds, practically every reader 'of this paper will be interested in learning the significant facts. Huge Resources and Strong Personnel Union iirtlnanclRfiyr * the strongest Michigan mortgage bond house. Furthermore, most of its directors are now, or have bee0, officials, —such as presidents and vice-presidents — in Michigan's leading banks. Their conser­ vative training means greater protection for Union clients.

Theymaybe purchased outright in *100, *500, and *1000 denomina­ tions. Or they may be bought on the Union Systematic Savings Plan, for as little as *10 down. (A good way to save C9nsistently).

The Hastings City Bank PAYS 3 PER CENT AND RENDERS PERSONAL SERVICE , {Organized 1886) HASTINGS, . MICHIGAN Ninety per . cent of the deproroion in corn occurred befot*e tho expiration of the term of President Wilson, while about 9 per cent took place after tbo republican* assumed power. A slight increase had taken place in the price of corn before January, 1922. "In May, 1020, tho priee on mid­ dling New Orleans cotton waa 40 eent*; it reached it* low point in March, 1921, when the quotation wa* 11 cent*, in January, 1923 thi* priee had advanced to 14V* cent*. In terms of percMtage, therefore, 100 per cent of the delation in eotten occurred during tho democrat­ ic admlnirtraHon while an 18 pfr cent increase ha* oceurred during tho re­ publican administration?* ' By similar cotnparuoM Mr. Ketch­ am demonstrate* that there wa* a 68 per cent decrease in the market value of cattle up to the end of the demo­ cratic administration nnd a 22 per eent increase after the republican* eame into power. There was a 9.1 per e^nt deercase t'n the price of wool during the closing month* of the democratic administration and a 9 per cent in­ crease since the republican* eame into power. Taking tho priee* of sixteen basic commodities Mr. Ketcham firul* that there was an average decrease of 8414 per ccat in the market prices dar­ ing the closing months of the demo eratie administration, and an average of only 16 per eent after the republi­ can* came into power. After presenting these figure* Mr. Ketcham quotes from the report* of the Federal Reserve Board showing that it* delation program waa darted In the early part of. 1920 when the Board- waa headed by Honorable Car­ ter Gia**, Secretary of tho Treasury, and the member* wore appointee* of President Wilson. In conclusion Mr. Keteham said: “The line* of political battle should dictiveneaa, vituperation or volubility should be allowed to ob*cure the read si lust ion m wo are to face it thl* fall. With thia purpose in mind I have baaed my argument almost entirely upon statements of democratic official* and upon the report of a dcmociatle board. I believe it completely anawcr* the un­ warranted attack* of the distinguished democratic leaden upon the republi­ can adminiatration and place* the blame for thd economic depreaaion of tho put two yaari aquaraly noon Iho democratic administration official*."

EXIDE SERVICE STATION FRENCH’S 04201885 Is the Most Economical Flour the Housewife Can Use It Stands Without ah Equal For Quality and Price The Best wheat for making flour is grown right here in Michigan. You can look the wh&le state over and you will not find another mill as fortunate­ ly situated as this to produce the BEST FLOUR ECONOMICALLY and in LARGE QUANTITY. < . A large part of the wheat we use is grown in the vicinity of our mill. It is delivered to us WITHOUT ANY FREIGHT CHARGES, or extra expense of any kind. We pay a BONUS for good wheat that tests over 60 lbs. to the bushel, and there are a great many farmers who halve grown wheat especially for us for a good many years. So we get our raw material (good Michigan winter wheat) at a lower cost than do outside flouring mills who have to add freight charges on the wheat and on shipping flour back to the local markets to the cost of making flour. j t,-. It costs practically as much to run a mill 6 to 10 hours a day as it does to run 24 hours. In order to supply the demand for FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR we have to run our big mill DAY AND NIGHT. This cuts our manufacturing costa to a minimum; guarantees the SMOOTHEST (tnd most even QUALITY; and enables you to buy FRENCH'S WHITE LILY at the same price you have to pay for flour of inferior quality. Bread made from FRENCH'S WHITE LILY is the BEST and most nourishing food you can nrovide your family, and at the lowest possible ex­ pense. WHY NOT ORDER A SACK TODAY.

Than in Other Oountriei Tho last issue of the Review of Re­ views gives a Worth while summary of the effect upon America of the adop­ tion of the prohibitory amendment un­ der tho eaption: Is prohibition a sueceu or failnref After stating the claims ot extremists on both sides, and that neither of there ean be fully admitted by any fairminded investigator, the author an­ nounces that it is facts that are requir­ ed. Ho then proceeds to give fads and stutistics from authoritative sources— the records of the government and those of American eltiee—and shows that facts warrant the assertion that prohibition has greatly curtailed the iim of intoxicants, also of the crimes that can be directly traced to sueh use. As to crime in general, this author admits that in America there has been little decrease sinco national prohibitibn. But he points to tho fact that in England crimes have enormously in­ creased since the armjtticc was signed; so that as compared with England, crime in America is far less than in England or Eorope and has slightly de­ creased here since 1918, while it has increased in every other country where statistics aro available. The “crime wave” which always fol­ lows a great war, in this author's Judg­ ment, explains why so many erimes aro committed now that probably would not have occurred but for the demoral­ isation fallowing the world wsr. But the faet that England has suffered a big increase in crimes, while in America it is shown that no decrease has taken thor's judgment, ia duo to England's sanction or the liquor traffic, which is prohibited in America. This writer concludes that, while in the enforce­ ment of prohibition there ia yet much to be attained if we make it aa binding as it should be, yet there is uo justifi­ cation for any claim that prohibition is n failure. Before prohibition was enacted, its opponents ejamored loudly that it would ” destroy billions of dollars worth of property!” This writer shows that statistics prove that the buildings formerly occupied by saloons have a higher rental value now than then; that the big browerica and distilleries have been turn'd into the manufacture of othqr commodities—suck as artifical lee, cold ktoragc plants, yeast factories, or to making soft drinks, so that they are yielding n good profit-in a cleaner business.

In all nearly five mil­ lion dollars was returned to tho Gov­ ernment which they termed excess profits and was returnod'to tho produc­ er. I nm only referring to this condi­ tion of 1918 as something that could happen any year under tho old system of mntkrtfng wool. While these condi­ tions were fresh in the mind* of the people thi- great agricultural organisa­ tion—the Farm Bureau, waa organised with 97,000 member* in Michigan and naturally enough one of the first things demanded" by the farmer of the Farm Bureau, wa* to establish some mean* by which they could market their wool economically. A just demand by its members is tho law governing the ae>.1. nf thi* organization by tho far­ es. So immediately thore who were Icctcd by tho members with power to ael started to organise a system of co­ operative marketing known as the Michigan 8ta‘te Farm Bureau Wool Pool. So again in tho midst of the 'oral woo! buyers season, tho wool pool .vu» under way, conditions were the re torse from what they were in 1918. De­ flation hnd set in, tho war wns over, nnd prices headed downward, wool prices began to sag, and got worse and worse until about the first of June there was hardly a buyer to bo found, and if there was he was almost ashamed to offer a price that ho eould feel safe m paying, and at that many of them Inst many dollars on what they bought urlier in the season.

The first thing ered from other local buyers. Thi* job­ ber had all tho ehancc* to'take as did the local buyer with tho addition of freight charges, sacking and grading, ineluding interest, storage, insurance and priee condition*. Again speculator No. 2 had to bo careful and make him­ self secure by paying jusf a* little a* he eould for the wool—still this jobber wa* at the merey of another speculator No. 3 who is supposed to know all about wool and know what mill urea certain Michigan ia ono of tho 82 stat?* that have established wool pools, or a system to market tho wool eo operatively fol the producers. The census report for 1920 record* OOfl,tM9 sheep, -7,051,939 lbs of wool valued at <4,131,704. We are convinced by this report that sheep railing and wool production in 'Michi­ gan is of sufficient importance to jus­ tify an attempt at orderly and econom­ ic marketing of our wool. In order to discus* tho conditions Which lead up to tho demand by far mor* to sell wool co operatively wo will have to look baek a few yearn over the • marketing system thnt wa* being used. In the spring usually immediately af­ ter the sheep were shorn the producer* took their wool to market, io., the mar­ ket at their command—the local buyer. Sometime* there wns only one local buyer—Bill Jones, sometime* Bill Jone* and John Smith were buying.

Now when the opportunity for making a real success of tho venture is nt hand, special interests eome to the front with their hammer in band and knock the endeavor aa hard as pos­ sible, but I still have faith in the farm­ er as a man.who will finally become ac­ quainted with all the conditions and stand firmly by their own cooperative endeavor.

Let us return to tho farmer and note THE UNIVERSAL CAR - THI UNMRSAL CAR upkeep and the hitheat years ago the local buyer was tho only market he knew so he sold his wool there and forgot it, but in later years with the telephones and daily papers ' with market quotations he is becoming ■ better informed. In the long winter ait* down to read the papers, and in . looking over the markets he is startled -when he ’reads that wool ia bringing 3­ 4-3 or S times as mueh as he received that is. On inquiry it was explained that perhaps it wns Australian or New Zeeland wool, but gradually ho is be­ coming convinced that this same wool that he reads about in tho winter was quite jiossibly his own. Ro with this knowledge has justly grown the desire to sell his woo! more direct. The first attempt was the local wool pool headed by a few good live farmers in a com­ munity and they induced as many farmers as they could to bring in their wool and store it with them and wait until the jobber came along. The very natural thing happened they were not ■ accustomed to grading, handling or I buying, and they hud never pooled be­ fore so it was all new to them, and they had many thing* to lenrn. One of the most important was thnt they did not have enough wool to make n dent in the market. The next Jefson was. thnt no one man had tipie to nego­ tiate a sale for nil of the wool unless ho got a'me recompense for hi* time, . although ho had a little wool in the T’... .

It will be of especial interest now be­ cause of the drive that is to be put on thru the local American Red Cross for canned fruit during the summer. In connection with tho work of the State Hospital committee of the Am­ erican Legion Auxiliary, many quea tions arc asked whieh the secretary of the committee found herself unable to answer clearly, so they were passed on to Paul A. Marton, Commander of Michigan American Legion, and his re­ plies are plain and to the point. He first speaks of ths wonderful work the American Leginn Auxiliary is do­ g along hospital lines, and how much is appreciated by the I-egiorT . He is best acquainted with condit>ns at Roosevelt hospital, ths only true American Legion hospital in existancc. It is a state institution, with all records kept n I-ansing, where they can be examined at any time. Men whose disability is directly I raced to service are the only ones hos­ pitalised under the |3 per diem of the government. .This umney is provided to give the boys food; shelter and mod ical care. Nothing else. Under pres­ ent day prices this will not go far, and at Roosevelt hospital the coat of these three things averages mueh more than the amount allowed by the government. Rays Mr. Martin, “Wo are giving to these boys the best that there is, and intend to keep on doing so. The hos pital that does not do thia is unworthy to care for them. “Surely no good citisen would Tsise the least complaint against giving the beat of care nnd comfort to those who made their life, their homes and their liberty secure.” No institution is supposed to elothe its inmates except the state prison, and they only in prison m»rb. Perhaps half the boys in the hospitals get compensa­ tion, ranging from IS to WO a month. Many of them have famillea, aad that is what they have to live an.

And now the May figures just totaled reveal a further great gain over April’s high record. There seems to be an admiration and esteem for Federal Bonds that can almost be considered universal. In these last few years it has flowered to such an extent that doubtless you can find throughout the whole length and breadth of this commonwealth but very, very few people who do not know and recognize Federal Bonds as the supreme expression of a sound and safe investment. And in great degree it has eliminated from the minds of men and women with money to invest the slightest thought of any other first mortgage real estate serial gold bond. It is true that there are other first mortgage bonds still sold here and there. But statistics show that of the total annual sale of all real estate bonds in Michigan the proportion of Federal Bonds ia growing steadily and largely. Our own books disclose each month not only almost unbeliev­ able increases in sales but also correspondingly remarkable additions to our list of customers. If ever there has been a profound and positive popular en dorsement of any Institution it is this outstanding and unmistakable preference for Federal Bonds. We cherish it and prize it far beyond words. | a-w. -*«■> And we pledge you that every effort and every energy that Is ours shall bededlcated to the inviolate preservation of that great confidence in us which you have expressed so magnificently FEDERAL BONDS Are Better Bonds D.

LET THE CHEVROLET OWNERS TELL YOU ABOUT IT •"I’m getting from 22 t<> 23 miles out of a gallon of gasoline and my machine is a new one,” says one of the recent buyers of a Chevrolet. Re says he is well satisfied and that he has plenty of leg room, which is not found in other cars. ”1 have, owned three Chevrolets all of which have given me splendid service. The second one I drove 21,500 miles at’an upkeep cost of 443.00. I got an extra large gasoline mileage and have been impressed at all times with the ease of driving these cars. Have obtained 8,000 miles on a set of Fabric tires. I was so well satisfied that I recently bought my third one.” “For real class among low priced cars, the Chev­ rolet takes the palm.” That’s what another recent Chevrolet purchaser thinks. ”1 can go over a hill nt 35 miles an hour with ease. The rear end of the Chevrolet is certainly a good one. No chance of its powerful engine pulling the transmission out.” “I bought my first Chevrolet in 1917 and drove it more than 65,000 miles at a cost of less than $60.00 for repairs,, averaged over 28 miles to a gallon of gasoline and 500 miles to a quart of oil. In fa?t 1 liked it so well that I have bought my second Chev­ rolet and that bids fair to outdo the first one.“” RED HOT FACTS Chevrolet uses less gasoline than any other car in its class. It uses less oil than any other car in its class. Chevrolet is easy and safe to steer. Chevrolet is more comfortable to ride in than any other low price car. Chevrolet has a speedometer connected, to the transmission. Chevrolet has an oil gauge on the dash. Chevrolet has a one man top with concealed bows. . It has a gypsy style back curtain. - Chevrolet has a standard transmission with three speeds forward and reverse. Chevrolet has a water pump and does not depend upon thermo syphon circulation. ■ 77.* Great Sunken lake^ln the Cn»carlo mountain*, la the moat deeply ■unken lake In the world.

This is directly in line with the policy of the Company to help the employee to a better un­ derstanding of his obligation to his fellow citizens. The Court meets weekly and before it must ap­ pear any employee, whether manager or truck driver, who has been involved in an accident during the preceding week. The employee comes into court as defendant with Jiis immediate superior as his attorney. The Chairman of the Safety Council is the judge. Other members of the Council serve as jurors.

MICHIGAN (Organized 1886) CHIROPRACTIC Consists Entirely of Adjusting the Movable Segments of the Spinal Column to Normal Position WHY DO CHIROPRACTORS INSIST ON ABSTINENCE FROM DRUGS WHILE ADJUSTMENTS ARE BEING TAKEN? Chiropractors insist on abstinence from drugs while taking adjustments for sev­ eral reasons; chiefly, however, because the effect of drugs upon the system is tq poison it, and because if the patient takes drugs while taking adjustments and gets well he does not know whether to give credit to the drugs or to the adjustments for his recovery. Each school of healing is based upon a theory or a fact For instance, the bio­ chemical or medical theory is that “disease” is caused by an abnormal chemical con­ dition ; and, consistent with the theory, the M. D.’s confine themselves to the prescrib­ ing of medicine, with the object of neutralizing the chemical found in superabun­ dance, or of supplying what is lacking. , . Thia theory followed the discovery of chemiaty. The germ theory, promulgated in 1882 by Dr. Kochr a German scientist, teaches that disease is caused by germs; and consistent with that theory its disciples confine their activity to the discovery of serums calculated to kill the germs without killing .the patient. • The Chiropractic theory iszbftsed upon the fact that disease is caused by an im­ pingement of the nerves at the point where they leave the spine, thereby shutting off the supply of mental impulse to the tissues supplied by that nerve; and consistent with that fact, they confine themselves to finding and adjusting the vertebra imping­ ing the nerve. . 4 All these theories may be wrong, but they cannot all *be righ't. Chiropractors know, that in competition with their science, both the germ and Biochemic theories, as a basis of treatment, will perish just aa surely and as naturally as the oxcart dis­ appeared in competition with the express train, or as machinery supplanted the hand tool. They want the is^ue clean cut. They want no confusion or doubt about the rel­ ative mtfrit of these methods. They, knowing that they have incomparably the bet- . ter method, invite the test and are willing to stand or fall on the merits of their science.

There arc 251,939 highway crossing* on Class I Railroad* alone (revenue of over 41,000,000.00 annually) in tho United State*. Of thia number, 399 were elim­ inated in 1919. At the same rate of elimination it wiR take 629 year* to dispose of those crossings If no more arc added. Ajl the men and money available Would not be sufficient to remove these crossing* in a life time. Conservative estimates of the average eost of elimination fixed tho figure at approximately 450,000.00 per crossing. This means 112,500,000,000.00. It is evident the immediate ques­ tion must be met by a method other than the elimination of thn crowing, whieh Inner work will undoubtedly proceed us circumstance* permit. Ap­ parently the solution of the problem ean bc'found in education. This edu­ cation should be joint upon the part of the railroads^nnd the publie.

We can not understand how Senator MeArthur can (jffeet any sup]>ort what­ ever for a re-nomination In view of tho understanding, prhieh has 'becomo tho unwritten law among the republicans of this sonatoriai district, thnt each of the three counties comprising it shall bo entitled to a senator for four years, or two terms in succession. Up to this time that understanding has boon hon­ orably observed by each of the coun­ ties. Eaton county will hnvc had tho Mnatorahip for four years with tho ex­ piration of Senator McArthur's present term, which will end with this year. It in now Clintdn county’s turn, and there is'BO valid reason why that eounS ahouM aot accorded tbs senatorip for the four years beginning with January. Wo arc vorv iruro the over­ whelming sentiment of tho republicans of this county will favor the excellent candidate, George Hunter, who has the united support of the party in his homo county. * If the precedent, which is a good one, and fair to all tho counties of thin dis­ trict, be broken this year, it will mean that tho chance of equitable representa­ tion by any one of the rounties will dis­ appear with the breaking of tho prece­ dent which has been respected over since tho district was organised. Rather than even suggest tho break­ ing of thia good understanding and friendly feeling in the district, it seems to us that Senator McArthur can well afford to wait until it in again Eaton county’s turn. It seems to us that the good judgment of the repub­ licans of Eafbn county will incline them to abide by tho unwritten law of the district, and that they must nee that Eaton epunty ennnot afford to ask that it be broken. But even if they all favored the unwise course of putting an end to proportional representation and friendly understanding, wo believe the other two counties would over­ whelming oppose sueh a change, now and in ino future.- Wo are confident' that we have expressed tho sentiments of practically all of. the republicans of Barry county. .. largo audience gave evidence by the and bright balloons floating from the cIom attention it paid throughout the gallery railing, with the long tables adorned with baskets of rod Dorothy (Continued on Page 4.)

HASTINGS WILL BE ON THE ROUTE From Grand Rapids Herald (Monday). Every furniture man expects that Fred E. Hill will do something uuuxual with his Hastings Tabic company linn each*season and never am they disap­ pointed. Frail is the unusual man who develop the novel idea that nobody else ever though of. •* • But Fre«f ’plays gulf ns well as draws Eictures of pretty furnitnre and because ■* plays golf and draws pictures and doea the unusual things, the folks duwn in Hastings told him to go ahead and build a elub house nt the golf elub and to build a course after Jack Daray bad laid it out. So Fred built the elub house and placed it up on a beautiful high knoll where it can-overlook half the course. Right wbFre be built the club house Daray had placed a tee for a short hole. Now Fred didn’t want to disturb that tec for it was a pretty trieky shot there anywhere. But it seemed that the'tea anil the elub house couldn’t occupy the same spot. One must move. Now Fred is stubborn -as well as unusual so be refused to change either the tee or the elub house. The impossible must be done. Both must oeeupy the same spot. Ro what does Fred do. Well he does the unusual thing, the thing which has not been done on a single golf course in the world. Well Fred built the -elnb bouse and tee for it was a pretty trieky shot there body ever ha* but that is why Fred did it.. And because the club house sit* up on a knoll and because tho (ee is on top of tho poreh, the tee is fully 100 feet above the green to which golfers must hereafter dritfe. And the green itself is on a little rise of ground which slope* away sharply on all side* so that tho bird who drive* too far, who doesn't drive far enough or who gets much of any to cither aide is going to waieh hi* ball roll down tho ride* of the slope a long way from the green and in a per­ fectly rotten nlaee to get up out of to itch shot and a thing. A still further beauty is that tho lay of tho land around the club pass through the elub bouse nor even through the poreh and ho will not have a long flight of steps to climb to reach it. Once there he is not going tn drive off either san<]-or sod but off eocoa matt for tho purpose of making it a golf tee. Romo time ago the Herald learned of this unique feature of the Hastings course and used a little story about it. That story apparently went tho rounds of tho-United Btatos for ever since Fred has been receiving letters from all sec­ tions inquiring into tho details of the unique scheme so that it may be ex­ pected that before long when some other golf,club builds a new elub house, they will be locating a tee on the top of tho chimney, on the flag staff, or in some otl[er unique spot, but the idea To Los Angeles, Oalif. for it came Tram Fred Hill and tho Many of our readers of ten years crrtalnty.

Systematic Saving 0 Tho total enrollment for A Bank's dealings with its patrons are PRIVATE and are not to be discussed. But it will not be violating any confidence to say that more peo­ ple are Saving Money today than ever before. "Experience" is the greatest Teacher in the world, and people more than ever before, are coming to realize that if they EVER join the ranks of the successful ones; if they ever hope to place themselves above the conditions of WANT and DEPENDENCE in their old age, that they MUST com­ mence SAVING MONEY during the period of their lives while their EARNING "POWER" is unimpaired. 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, larg6 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 power1 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.

THE’COAL MINERS’STRIKE and the COAL STRIKE. The miners are striking for higher wages and shorter hours. The coal buyers are striking for cheaper coal. The operators want to reduce miners wages. Our idea is they will finally compromise on the present scale. In which case coal wifi be no cheaper unless freight rates arereduced. The latest infor­ mation from Washington on rate reduction is that the commission is split three ways and no radical reduction can be expected. Jf the strike con­ tinues much longer there will not BE ENOUGH COAL TO GO AROUND, . as it takes practically a year’s production to meet the demand and with sev­ eral months loss in production the result is obvious. We are taking orders for coal NOW, and just as soon as we can we will make deliveries. NOW don’t forget this, because some one will go cold next winter if orders are not placed early. ... _ < .^-j.

Several auto loads of members eame early in tho day and sat down to 'a pienie lunch. Mr. O'Dell in his address’ told of the early history of tho Ethical movement. The first society was formed under tho lead­ ership of Dr. Felix Adler in New York City in 1878. It consisted of members of Jewish synagogues who had become dissatisfied with the narrow religion of their day and wished to form a fel­ lowship independent of dogma and de voted whollv to tho better understand­ ing of morality and to tho spiritual de­ velopment of its members in tho serv­ ice of tho community. Tho Now York Ethieal Society, said the speaker, organised tho first free kindergarten in America, tho first corps of viaiting nurses, tho first settlement houses; and started tho movement for tenement house reform, and the aboli­ tion of child labor. Similar societies were later formed in Chieago, Philadel­ phia, Ht. Louis, Brooklyn and Boston. These helped to spread tho settlements movement, to organise legal aid bu­ reaus, self-eulture elobs for working people, and .other now developments in education. The chief aehool in America for pedagogical experiment wax started by tho Ethical Society in New York, and is still visited by teachers from all over tho country. It has 700 pupils nnd children of millionaires wit down alongside of children of East aide alum dwellers, and havo an Amerieanftm of democratic comradeship and mutual un­ derstanding. But the members of the Ethical So­ cieties, who aro now mainly of Gentile birth, nnd under Gentile leadership, count that tho ehiof benefits of their movement is in its demonstration of the worth of moral fellowship apart from creed as a means of character develop­ ment and soeinl usefulness/- The move­ ment Jins never boon self advertised, and has, indeed, avoided proselyting propaganda. TTcnec its numbers arc still aiiial). But ita influence as a means toward liberalising tho religious forces of America has been greater than its year in June.

Second, they will, as a rule, be ready for employment at a season of the year when the demand for our graduates is the greatest, and also the fewest number of graduates to fill the calls. Third, during the next year they will re­ ceive nine pay checks thatthey would not otherwise earn, aggregating not less than $180.00, possibly more.. Fourth, they are getting three months start toward success and independence. Can you think of a more profitable way or an easier, more interesting way to make a summer yield a handsome income? The Demand for Michigan Business and Normal College Graduates Is More Than Five Times the Supply The representative of this paper was a caller at the office of the Michigan Busi­ ness and Normal College Tuesday after­ noon, June G, and while there Mr. Argubright, president of the college, answered the ninth telephone call for their gradu­ ates that had come into the office that day. This particular call was from Mr. W. L. Beitler, Republic Motor Truck Company, Almi, Michigan. He wanted One young man graduate from M. B. and N. C. School of Ac■ counting ant) Business Adminis­ tration for an accounting and auditing position. One young man graduate from the School of Secretarial Science to take a position as Mr. Beitler’s qwn personal secretary, which position was produced by the pro­ motion of L. P. VanArman, a for­ mer graduate qf the School now •jn that job, to an important exe­ cutive place. One young lady graduate from the School of Secretarial Science for a position as personal secre­ tary to one of the executives. One comptometer operator who is also a good typist. . One young man graduate from the combined School of Account­ ing and Business Administration and Secretarial Science course, to take a position as personal secre­ tary to Mr. Allen of the Allen Wheel Company at Alma. Mr. Beitler also wanted four young men for important posi­ tions within the Republic organ­ ization to begin work next week. The reasons for this demand for extra help was occasioned by the fact that the Republic Motor Truck Company was put­ ting on 200 more men and the office force was increasing to take care of the work/ Another call which preceded this one was from Mr. Hill of the Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit who wanted a young man graduate from the School of Secretarial Science to take the position of Kenneth Ketcham in the sales division, promoting Mr. Ketcham to a responsible executive head. Ketcham is also a former graduate, and had been with the Hudson organization less than five months. The above incident is only an example of what happens day after day in the of­ fice of the Michigan Business and Normal CoJIege. Tho tuition rates aro moderate and entirely within tbe reach of ambitious, discriminating young meu and young women, who realise that the best in education is always the cheapest. , Dishes and Dinnerware Dorothy Thurlow came to this college last July. Her position as secretary and assistant to Mi'. Thom is an ideal one. Nine summer pay checks will almost equal the cost of her training. Ruth Hinkle enrolled last August. She has an excellent position in the offices of the Kellogg Toasted Com Flakes Com­ pany. By September 4 she will have earn­ ed more than twice the cost of her-preparation. There are many other examples we might cite that would show what it means to every young man and young woman to take advantage of the time at their dis­ posal, how they can make this summer pay them for a thorough preparation for a business life by taking a course in the Michigan Business and Normal College. Michigan Business and Normal College is composed of five distinct schools: The School of Business and Bookkeeping. The School of Shorthand and Typewrit­ ing. ‘ The Schoo! of Secretarial Science. Tbe SchooF of Accounting anef Business Administration. The Commercial . Normal Training School. .11WIMUH The courses offered in the School of Ac­ counting and Business Administration, the School of Secretarial Science, and the Cont-. mercial Normal Training School are cour­ ses of full collegiate grade’, open only to young people who -are graduates of tiecredited high schools offering full fouryear courses, or who possess the equivalent education through other institutions of learning. We Have Helped More Than Five Thousand Young Peo/ pie to Achieve Success—Young People No Older, No Abler, No Wiser Than You It is true that to-day, as never before in history, executives, bankers, scientists, architects, government officials, and all classes of business and professional men are glad to pay excellent salaries for com­ petent office help. . Young men and young women cannot spend their time to greater advantage to themselves and to humanity than to pre­ pare themselves for some of the splendid' positions which are open to-day every­ where in the business world. Every year we receive hundreds of calls for graduates from our college which we afe unable to'fill because not enough young men and young women Qf ability are will­ ing to fit themselves with one of our courses of training. Many young men and young women have already completed their plans to start with. tjho class of July 3 in order to' take advantage of the special intensive training they will receive during the next two or three months. Specidl classes are being organized every week and if you can not arrange to come July 3rd, make it a week later July It), or even July 17, but at any rate, do not let |he next two or three months of your time be wasted when there are so many opportunities to profit.

The farmers of this great area (approximating (hat of Great Britain and Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal.

The cluth spring is en­ tirely inclosed to prevent winding of straw. Binder Deck with Unusual Capacity—Three Packers—Extra large space is pro­ vided over the steep binder deck to prevent choking in heavy grain. The third packer materially assists in shaping the bundles, and with proper adjustment of the adjuster, good bundles cqi) 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 i« drop-forged, high-grade hardened steel. All the bearing surfaces on this shaft are finished accurately and smoothly-. The packer and bearing box caps are provided with shims' to take up the 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 gritin. 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. Heavy Canvas—Concave Slats—The canvas used on John Deere Binders is made of heavy duck, 2 ounces heavier than is u ted on other makes of binders, with strong straps riveted to the slats as well as to ths canvas.

YOU CANNOT HAVE GOOD BAKING FROM FLOUR THAT IS POORLY MILLED I When it comes to QUALITY, ECONOMY and GOOD BAKING RESULTS every dollar spent for FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR reaches the very limit of purchas­ ing 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 the difference, and- FRENCH'S WHITE LILY doesn't . cost you any more. FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR will furnish your family more delicious bread, biscuits and pastries than any other flour you can buy. Efficiency should always prevail in the home as well as in business.

Place,’’ directly Mross from Frank Machine Uo., and to Be Also, Because It Had Been Kreeh’s, in Rutland townsMp, 4 1-2 Delivered Next Winter Used to Transport Liquor The Canton Pump Co. has evidently taken in a fair spirit the Council’s re­ fusal to accl-pt the pump which they Installed at the waler worka plant. As the pomp's performances were so mani­ festly below what tho contract stipu­ lated that it must do in order to meet the City’s requirements, there wax real­ ly nothing cIm for tho Canton Co. folks to do but own that the pump is a fail­ ure so far as meeting the conditions of their own contract and guaranteo are concerned or else try to repudiate their own agreement. Happily for ail concerned tho Canton Co. seem disposed to meet the situation honorably. We have, in n previous article, ex­ plained thnt tho Canton Co. aro really not tho makers of tho pump* they offer for sale, but aro a selling organization, the product being made by the Klotz Machine Co., of Akroa, O., which -city i* also the homo of tho Canton Co. Last week representatives of both tho Canton and Hlotz companies were in Hastings aud met City Engineer Sparks nnd members of tho council, and assured them that they proposed to build a pump with an A tyim frame that would pump 2,000,000 gallons in 24 hours, and In nil other respects fulfill tho contract they gave this e^y. As the Klott Co. is a Very- largo institution, with a wellestablished reputation, their representa­ tive declared that they would not per­ mit, ,and could not afford to attempt to deliver to this eity n pump that was not fully up to specifications and guar­ anty. The new pump will nut bo ready for installation until some time next winter. CONGRESSMAN KETCHAM PAINFULLY INJURED Wheel of Oar Passed Over Right Limb Above Ankle—Injury Hot Thought Berioui Congressman Ketcham suffered a painful but not serious injury Wednes­ day morning when tho hind wheel of hia automobile ran over his right Ing just above the ankle. The accident happened on the freshly gravelled road­ way between Delton and Hickory Cor­ ners, when tho Keteham car was ascend­ ing a hill-and turned out into the loose grave) when it met another car. Mr. Ketcham wns scheduled to speak in Benton Harbor Tuesday .forenoon, and was en route there in his car with hia family, his son, John, Jr., at tho wheel, when they turned out into tho lnoi.0 gnivi-1 to;allow another car to pass. The yielding gravel and the up-’ grade made it difficult to start the car. Mr.' Ketcham got out and pushed and the auto was slowly starting to mako tho climb, and was in motion when Mr. Ketcham attempted to get back into it. Tho swaying of the car in tho loose grovel and tho Insecure footing resulted in the congressman’a falling, with his right lower limb underneath tho car. and before ho could extricate it the hind wheel passed over the leg as stated. Fortunately the gravel was very soft, and the car’s weight pushed his limb into tho yielding material without breaking it; but the injury was a very painful one. The party went on to Kalamazoo, where a physi­ cian was consulted who found no bones broken, bound up tho limb, so that Mr. Ketcham was able to proceed to Benton Harbor, where ho delivered his address in the afternoon, in xpito of the inteliso puin ho suffered. Ho re­ turned home last night, and will havo to remain in bed for a few days. Guess that *a tho only way he ever would get conscious when found, and has remained so ever since; gradually he seems to be growing weaker. He was taken to Pen­ nock hospital, where he haa remained sinre the accident. No one scorns to know just how tho accident happened, as no ono was with him at the barn. He apparently went up stairs, and to tho up-stair* door of the barn. His sister heard a sound ax of something hilting.thc ground, looked in tho direction where sho heard it, and saw her brother lying bn the ground.

The NEW ERA ASSOCIATION The New Era closed 1921 with a special meeting of its cabinet (directors) on December 30th, and paid every dollar of proven death claims, leaving a surplus of over $30,000 greater than one year ago. The reserve at that time to meet any fluctuation in mortuary or death losses was adequate to protect $40,000,000 in life contracts against two of the most severe epidemics this country ever had. Enough said on finances and the success of 1921. Our Slogan Our Business Combining Life Insurance business and ethics. Selling Two Lifq Insurance Contracts Containing the Best Features of Legal Reserve Companies, Fraternal Bene­ ficiary Associations and Assessment Mutual Companies with­ out their Objectionable Features.

We Do Laugh rI J Never But Two Divisions on Roll Call Never a Division Between Execu­ tive, Legislative and Lay Members ' Because business and professional men and lJcCO/ZU some labor men buy so-called investment life insurance, agreeing if unfortunate' enough to die within, twenty years, thill the Company keeps their savings account. We challenge any social, religious, political or fraternal association to equal this record. There is a reason. It’s a secret which* we ate telling at every opportunity. " xEvery feature will make a hook. The New Era gives the savings to the bene­ ficiary plus four per cent, together with the face of the certificate. We Don’t Laugh —it makes us sick to find a union laborite patronizing or buying so-called old line life in­ surance at two to five times the actual cost, and having their money going to finance the big trusts that are fighting the union. . Democracy applied. , r Grorup current-cost life insurance, no freeze outs.

It haa done big things in a big way. Other nations havo had more workmen, cheaper labor, more densely settled areas, yet America has outstripped them all. Why? Because of "Big Industry"—vast, centralized organization. A The measure of this big-ocale organization is ser­ vice. Tho big unit is constructive—far-seeing— resourceful—permanent. It can be depended upon to provide essential commodities in times of stress. A big organisation should be judged by tho service it renders. j The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a big organisation, built squarely upon service. It has grown and prospered because of the need for its service. It is doubtful if a smaller organization could give the service rendered by this Company. Because of Its size and efficiency, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) can manufacture on an eco­ nomical scale. From one natural resource it pro­ duces hundreds of useful products at a minimum coot, thus enabling the Company to sell each of its long line of products at a lower price than would otherwise be possible. i i I , Because of its thorough distribution service, resuiting from its great volume of business, it is possible for the man living in the remote corners of the 10 Middle Western States served to get such petroleum products as he needs with facility almost equal to that of the man living in the city. The forecast for 1922 ia for a heavier demand for petroleum products than thia nation has ever known. Tha Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has keyed its entire organization to meet this demand. Regardless of the emergencies which may arise, the Company believes that its organization will be able to meet the situation. Standard Oil Company • 910 S.

MOSTMILES perDOLLAR yirestone "^UM-DIPPED CORDS -and Their JLigh Records The high mileage records of Firestone Corda continue to em­ phasize the fact that Firestone methods are different and better. These records, pteadtly increasing in number and in mileage totals, justify the Firestone contention that there is one best way to build tires. Among the primary sources of Firestofife extrt mileage is double gum-dipping-vthe saturation of the cord plies in a vat of liquid gum—thus coating each cord and virtually eliminating intern!! heat and friction. Another is Firestone air bag curing, with its 200 pound pressure', which places every cord accurately and equalizes .the tension. By blending the rubbers of different plantations and types, and by tempering it -before mixing, Firestone men add still more mileage. . ’ Many cord tires are good—-a few are better—Firestone users say one is best Those who have already experienced Firestone mileage, have stopped shopping and experimenting—they have made these cords standard equipment. Investigate ytur friends' success with Firestone Cords—and buy your next tire accordingly. Come in and get your share of extra mileage. • .

Annual net income conservatively estimated at $326,000.00 — more than three and one-half times the greatest annual interest charges. Value of building is $3,100,000.00 —or nearly two and one-halftimes the amount of the indebtedness.

The committees on claim* were busy, for the entire week, as wa* the commit­ tee on equalization, and put in a great deal of extra time in order that the board may adjourp on Saturday. The matter of constructing a dam nt the outlet of Gun lake was taken up nnd disposed of. The committee, eon»i»ting of Supervisor* Streeter, Mc­ Intyre nnd Smith, recommending thnt permission be granted for permitting the building nnd maintaining of a dam at the outlet of the lake for the pur­ pose of maintaining tho level of the waters- thereof, provided the' dam bo .constructed In a manner satisfactory to tho board, nn,l provided that the en­ tire expense be borne by tbs owners of the cottage nnd resort property border­ ing on the lake wa» presented and unanimously adopted. P. T.' Colgrove, representing the latter, enrne before the board, stating that the property and resort owners were prepared to carry out their part of tho arrangement. To show this he presented the eounty u war­ ranty deed for the property nt the out­ let of the lokc. on the north side of the highway, on the northwest fractional quarter of section 8, Orangeville town­ ship. This deed give* the right to con­ struct a dare at the outlet of-.tho lake, also to overflow, to any desired height, nil the land on tho north side of the highway on the northwest fractional quarter of section 8. For this privilege the niaort <>w"crs had paid $1,200, and had had the deed made to tho County of Barry. Plans for tho cement dam to be constructed were presented by Mr. (.'olgrove also. As soon a* bids aro received nnd a bid ia accepted, Mr. Colgrove pledged that t^O resort owners would deliver to the'county a certified check for the entire cost of the dam, so thnt the county wduld be at no ex­ pense whatever. This will dispose of a long standing matter, and secure for all time the preserving of the level of thia beautiful nnd popular resort lake. Allegan superviaors had, by unanimous action, granted their permission fur the drnn. The unaniptou* action of the buanl of Barry county therefore is final,cxcept for detail of completing the dam. The supervisors also voted to give the usual 41,000 to the Barry County Agricultural,Society for the next Coun­ ty fair, thi- same to lie expended in permanent improvements. The supervisors also voted that tho county would stand its 25 per eent-uf the cost of completing the paving of Hniniver and North Broadway, to a width of 20 feet, nt an estimated eost to the county of $7,500. Tho state is ready to proceed nnd the city is ready to do it* share; so that this very de­ sirable nnd much needed work on Trunk Lino No 37 will soon bo under wav and pushed to. completion.

Federal Leadership is a Genuine Leadership The success of a single season or the record of a year is not the measure by which true achievement can be gauged. - That which is to shine forth ceaselessly in the forefront of any field of endeavor must of necessity fix and determine its . greatness over a sustained period of time. The cruel testing of years alone can give character to a man or quality to a bond. If Federal Bonds had suddenly sprung into their present fame or if now for the first time they enjoyed the prominence Michigan investors have awarded them, then these words would never have been penned. But Federal Bonds have won the special preference they now own over a long flight of time. The man who first said Federal Bonds are Better Bonds has multiplied with the passage of years to an army of men who say, again and again, with quiet sincerity, Federal Bonds are Better Bonds. Where once, long ago, a dozen other real estate bond companies touched elbows with Federal in common contest for honors there now is no company near enough properly to wear the name of rival. Each new year sees the gap measurably widened between Federal and those that follow. . • * * Steadily and surely the preference for Federal Bonds grows and extends itself, here at home and far afield, among those who know us personally, who enter our offices, who meet us in the street, and among those resident at the other ends of the country whose only dealings with us are by mail. Federal leadership is a genuine leadership, destined to grow largely and to endure lastingly. FEDERAL BONDS Are Better Bonds D. W.

STAR GROCERY PHONE 2240 MM........... 1 �THE HASTINGS BANNER PART TWO THE RIGHT MOVE Is Sometimes Hard to Make But in the end, when you have PROFITED by it, you realize the .VALUE of overcoming its difficulties. In the practice of THRIFT, and the acquiring of the SAVING HABIT, the RIGHT MOVE, and the FIRST one, is to start a Bank Account. This may not be easy at first, for with your money IN THE BANK, in­ stead of in your pocket, the many little expenditures will have to cease—if you make your Bank Account PROFITABLE. But after you have gotten into the HABIT of coming regularly to the Bank, your. SAVINGS, together with the THREE PER CENT INTEREST (compounded TWICE each year), will show RESULTS that cannot fail to SATISFY YOU. - The "SAVINGS HABIT" is the time-dried and proven foundation of BUSINESS SUCCESS. It's the ASSURANCE of an old age free from the sufferings which POVERTY brings. It creates an optimistic spirit that looks FORWARD to a bright future.

Carpets and ruga may be cleaned nnd swept with a damp broom dippad in kerosene. Infested areas of earpets aigr be steamed, using a wet towel and a hot flat iron. Closets from which moth infested clothing has been removed should be wiped down with a damp mop moisten ed with kerosene since the larvae, when ready to pupate, sometime* migrate from their food supply to fasten them­ selves to tho ceiling and shelve*. This is especially truo of tho case-building species. , Vnluirfilo furs or clothing aro best protected by placing them in cold stor­ age during tho period when not in use. While larve, if they be present, can exist at 40 degrees F. they arc not very active. It is be»t if clothing can be stored at this temperature for several days, then brought. cut_in ordinary room temperature for n fc»v hour*, after which they may be stored indefinitely at 40 degrees F. with safety. The lar­ vae cannot stand the change of temper­ ature. When upholstered furniture or nn entire dwelling become* badly infested, fumigation is perhaps the most anti* factory. There sn- live method* of fumigation;—just which one should be used depends largely on circumstances. Sulpbcr fumigation i» efficient, but it rot* fabrics, and in the presence of moisture, tarnishes metal* nnd bleaches certain color* of wall paper, also there is tho danger from fire. Carbon tetra­ chloride is expensive but is very derirable otherwise. Carbon disulphide is good for fumigating cheats, tight boxes, or trunks, but the ri»k from Arc as well a* the unpleasant odor takr* away much of tho desirability. Hydrocyanicaeid-gns is effective, but it tarnishc* some metals, cspeeinlly nickel blit tho argument against its use eoines from the deadline** of tho gas. It is ncrc*wiry with this fumigation that the en­ tire building, bo vacated fur twentyfour hour#, or better still Yorty-idghl hours nnd that it ’be thoroughly nired, opening it from tho outside sometime before it is entered. .This fumigation should only bo put on by an individual who is responsible nnd who comprc hinds the w-rious nature of the under­ taking. Tf tho rooms can be heated to 120 degree* F. dry heat, so that every part of the room nnd all parts of it* contents be kept nt thi* teni[>crsturo for several-hour* all stages . will be killed. Care must bo taken that the heat penetrate* to all jmrts In order to be successful. This is hard on furniture. Formaldehyde fumigation is useless in relation to insect control. Any method of fumigation recom­ mended ha* to lie rcjH'Utea at least once nnd preferably twice to ba sucpesjful since the egg and^upsl stage* are very resistant and arc seldom controlled by fumigation.

The Coal situation looks m serious 2 Coal Strikes Now ! THE COAL MINERS’ STRIKE/and the COAL .BUYERS’ STRIKE. The miners are striking for higher wages and shorter hours. The coal buyers are striking for cheaper coal. The operators want to reduce miners wages. Our idea is they will finally compromise on the present scale. In which case coal will be no cheaper unless freight rates are reduced. The latest infor­ mation from Washington on rate reduction is that the commission is split three ways and no radical reduction can be expected. If the strike con­ tinues much longer there will not BE ENOUGH COAL TO GO AROUND, as it takes practically a year's production to meet the demand and with sev­ eral months loss in production the result is obvious. We are taking orders for coal NOW, and just as soon as we can we will make deliveries. NOW don't forget this, because some one will go cold next winter if orders are not placed, early. CAREY U.

India ho been seething with revolt against tho dominance of England over ita 300,000,000 people. The surprising thing about this revolt has been very largely tho absence of violence and rioting.

That is, he advocates passive res is tone 0 to British rule by refusal to cooperate with the alien government.

Many investors find that one of its most attractive features is the opportunity it gives them to enjoy the comparatively high rate of |7% for 15 years to come, or any lesser period they may desire.x According to compilations which are standard in all banking centers, a $1,000 bond of the Michigan-Lafayetto issue should com­ mand a price of $1,089.35 as soon a* the first mort­ gage bond rate drop* to6%. In the opinion of most financial houses, it is only a matter of a few/months before the interest rate on first mortgage real estate bonds is 6%t7-and the rate may, of course, go even lower, thus still further in­ creasing the value of Union UNION Bond* secured by the M ichigsn-Lafayctte Building.

Reconstruction Task Vigorously Carried on by Administration Washington, July 10, — Postmaster General Hubert Work, in addressing the Pennsylvania state convention of post­ masters at Wilkes Banc, took ocaasioa to eall attention to some of tho out­ standing 'accomplishments of tho pres­ ent administration, in addition to the constructive work which has been done by tho Postoftlcc department itself. In commenting upon the work done by tho adihinistrarion since if eamo- into pow­ er Postmaster General Work snid: "We havo been so busy down in Washington struggling in tho miro of nnr inheritance that wo have hml no timo and little' inclination to answer criticism. Like the man whose house is afire, wo have been so busy putting out the blare that wo haven’t had time to explain the cause of tho fire. The fact remains, however, that our great­ est troubles nro those of iuhcntanco and not tho result of our own acts. "President Harding’s administration eamo into control pledged to install business methods tn government, nnd tho achievement of this objective is thp outstanding accomplishment of tho ex­ ecutive branch thus far. Beonomy in tho handling of government funds af­ ter the lavish expenditures of provjous years, which reached tho high water mark of >27,000,000,000'in 1919, be­ came a necessity. "In 1920 tho expenditures were re­ duced to ^6,500,000,000 by the cessa­ tion of war and tho economy of a Re­ publican Congress; in 1921 burinou methods further reduced tho operating appropriations to 9I.750.000.00U, nml for tho Areal year about to close it has been brought down to Wjt09,00(t,000, find we nro not through yet. "Tho establishment or a budget system alone, which had boon ropudint cd by the Dentoc rati.- party, hna al­ ready saved more than >1,000,000,000 of the people’s money.* "Tho number of g<>\crnmont employ­ ees' haa been reduced by- over 55,000 since January, 1921. "Aa a result of business economic* .Liberty bonds, which at low ebb hml fallen off more than 15 points, arv now organized, and 9.*ou.ntK),000 is being expended this year for tho relief of cx-MorvJco men. "Tho farmer has l onolUtcd by- the emergency tariff Ian, and the people generally have al remix found their taxes reduced. "Ourmilitary nml naval expendi turcs have been cut to the bone, nnd our foreign relations, which were sadly muddled following'thc armistice, have been gradually settled in a dignified manner. The anus <nr.ferenco promises to bo one of the greatest achievements of history. "Tho work of readjustment has been going steadily fon.nrd. It is no easy task for nny political party to 'bring order out of the aftermath of war, but it is significant that thia task fell tip on tho Republican party.. It is not the first time thnt it has hud to assume'the role- of business doctor following a Democratic admini-tration, and thnt we have been successful thus far is reflect­ ed in the businv**- revival which is sweeping over the country, indicating that wo a»-a people are on tho eve of a moat, prospeniu* p.-riod. “Tho copy- books tell that pationco and hard work will overcome any obstacle, and thi* is the theory which is actuating the government offi eiah in Washington- To paraphed-*tho language of Kipling, they arc keep­ ing their heads when some of those about them of »p|M»ite political faith nro losing -their*, nnd blaming it on them.

And while in tho whole Spanish War only 300 men were killed by Spanish bullets, 5,000 died of fly-borne direase*. Yet the great ma­ jority of insects aro either harmless or beneficial to man. . Although it is possible to determine the damage done by insect*, it is im­ passible to cnlrulato the benefit* they confer. Pmrtiealiy no fruits could bo formed without the bloaaom-pollinnting aid of insect*, hi:d in the production of a harvest, insqata, especially bees, of course, dwarf into insignificance nil modern implements of husbandry. It would be linpoMible to get a single crop of red clover without the aid of insects, and the present reality of bumble bees, who usually perform this service, is making itself roit in the smailrr crop nnd lower vitality of the clover seed. Their importance in this connection wa- r-.-alixed in Australia and the Philippine Islands, which Im­ ported bumble lwta for tho sake of their clover crop. Fig* could not be rightly too.

(XU; A LITTLE TALK ABOUT FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR We believe in pushing a good thing along and as long as it IS good, people do not object to reading about it re­ gardless of how many times we may mention it. Our t alk is about a flour we know you will be interested in. FRANK F. IIOOER8. ORDER FOR PUBLICATION. THERE’S A REASON -.. for our wanting to impress it upon your mind that FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is different than a great many other brands'of flour. From experience we have found out that people who hnvc’haver used this flour before and have purchased a trial sack, have been so well satisfied with the baking results they obtained, they could not be in­ duced to change back to any other brand of flour. This same thing happened to a great many people years ago and they are still using FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR and are well satisfied with it The reason it satisfies is because of its superior quality. It is made better than other brands of flour but sells for the same low price that inferior ' brands sell for. . ' DON’T EXPERIMENT If you are interested in saving time and money, don’t experiment with other brands of flour, when .you can get FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR that is guaranteed to give satisfaction. Ask almost any house­ wife and she will tell you she is either using or going to utfe FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR because she is tired of the costly experiences at­ tached to using brands of flour she knows nothing about We are just as anxious to have you satisfied with FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR as we are to have you try it and-we have spared no expense in making it as good as it could be made and we are glad to back it up with our guarantee.

That good understanding has existed since tho district wa.* created. Under it. each eounty has been given the senntorship for four year period* In rotation. Until this year there ba* not been a candidate from cither of tho other two counties when tho county whoso turn it wn* to have tho senator­ ship presented a candidate. With the’expiration of Senator Mc­ Arthur’s tend, December 31 next, Ea­ ton county will have had tho senator­ ship for four years in succession. Thero is no dispute about thnt, nor about tho fact that it is now Clinton 'county’s turn to have the honor, according to district custom nnd usage. Clinton county presents a candidate, and arc unitedly bnck of him, in tho person of George Hunter of John*. Thero is no question. as to his Integrity, hi* ability or fitness for the place, and no doubt thnt his first aim will be to tru­ ly represent this district at Lansing. There ought not to be, and wo believe in tho end,there will not be, nny ques­ tion about the republicans of the dis­ trict carrying out,- in good faith, the understanding and custom of tho di*-’ trict, when in behalf of Clinton county there is presented such a candidate as Mr, Hunter, whose qualifications and disposition to fairly represent tho en­ tire district are above question. No.one, and certainly not the BAN­ NER, doubt* the honesty and integrity of Senator MeArthur a* a man or a* a state senator. But we feel quito cer­ tain that not oven ho would assume thn| hi* ability nnd service aro so ex- he ran for tho office two years qgft. It is evident that our Eaton Rapids friend was quite willing to have an understanding respected faithfully,, as it wa* when Mr. DeFo> kept hi.« agree­ ment, a* all who knew him expected he would, where he, McArthur, wav the direct beneficiary. Would he like to have the -people, of this district com­ pelled to believe ihatTie desire* to have good undorrtan dinga k- i t when they | benefit him, but would br.-ak them if they seem to work to hi* personab-df*advantage!

Wo commend to Senator MeArthur the eourso which tho then Senator Wm. M. Smith pursued at the end of hi* ogo term a* senator from thi* district. Mr. Smith U now a ulster «f the State Utilities Commission. Neither thi* nor any other senatorial district har been bettor represented at Lansing thnn wns this one by Senator Smith. Surely Senator McArthur will not claim him­ self to be a bigger or Ix-ltcr public man as n representative of thi* dis­ trict thnn Wai Senator Smith of ot. Johns! It will be rcmembere-l that Coleman C. Vaughan, also of Ht. Johns, wa* elected stato senator from this district.

On the farm, petroleum products are an absolute necessity. The fanner is preoccupied with his task—the mighty task of raising food for the world. He must have petroleum products when and where he needs them. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is prepared to give a dependable, always-on-the-job service which the exigencies of farming demand. 6600 tank.wagons are in operation this summer of 1922. These tank wagons make deliveries to the farmer's door. When necessary they serve him in the field—at his work. They reach him at dependable intervals and serve him with de­ pendable products. Only a vast, centrally admin- istered organization could render this effective type of service. Standard Oil Company 910 So.

THE WINNING TALLY FOR HIS DISBARMENT Not long after, rtio floor boll rang. Charges .Presented Serious— Mr. Bancroft Preparing An­ swer—Hearing Aug. 15 Dispatches from Lansing to tho state press have mentioned that a petition to the supreme court of Michigan has been presented by John M. Gould, pres­ ident of the Barry County Bar Associa­ tion, asking for the disbarment of Cal­ vin L. Bancroft, of this city. The faet of the filing of tj>o petition i» a matter of record. The inference gained from the press dispatches that this was Mr. Gould’s individual actiota is not warranted. He is tho president of tho Barry County Bar Association. But ho acted after ho had been in­ structed so to do by the bar association itself. Wo mention this in justice to Mr. Gould. , The petition to tho supreme court, a copy of which wo have seen, recites the fact that a meeting of the Barry County Bar As«oclation was held on June 14 last; that at that meeting there were present tho following mem­ bers: Judge Clement Smith, Philip T. Colgrove, John M. Gould and Arthur E. Kidder; that on motion of P. T. Col­ grove the following resolution was pre­ sented and adopted, all the members voting in favor of it. Tho resolution reads aa follows: . Resolution. “That wherena certain charge* of un­ professional conduct have been made to the Barry County Bor Association against Calvin L. Bancroft, and be­ lieving that said charges should be in­ vestigated, and that the said Bancroft, if innocent of aaid charges, should bo ■zoaeratod. and If guilty should abldtr iy the ordarutad decree of the Court; Therefore, >a It Kaaolved, that the ^resident of thia association present hands relating to tho alleged unprofes­ sional conduct of tho said Bancroft to the Attorney General of tho State of Michigan for adviee and direction; And Further, that the president of this association take sueh action there­ on as ho may bo advised and directed by the attorney general of this state or his department.'* The unprofessional conduct set forth, in tho petition consists of allegation* of improper and unprofessional act* which it is charged Mr. Bancroft ha* done in tho practice of his profession hero and in Detroit. Some of tho affi­ davits wore secured by other members of the association besides Mr. Gould, £knd one at least the substance of which had been gathered by the late Thoma* Bullivnn. A* Mr. Bancroft is to be tried by court action and not in\he columns of tho BANNER, it would bo manifestly improper for us to specify what tho charge* arc, except to say that they are serious and should bo investigated.

The Pressure of a ■ Great Preference A There has sprung up today in our business an intangible force whose power is beyond reasonable estimation. Today that force is responsible for more purchases of Federal Bonds than is our own organization of salesmen. . And we can define it no more aptly than a* the pressure of a great preference. a ■< Subtly, but none the lees surely, the influence of this preference is making itself felt in every nook and corner of the state. It shows Itself In the most unexpected places, at ths most unlooked for times. • You hear a man say Federal Bonds are Better Bonds and you And upon inquiry that he has never bought a Federal Bond, that he has never been approached by a Federal representative, and that he ha* never read a Federal advertisement. And yet he clings steadfastly to his belief that Federal Bond* are literally Better Bonds. He cannot tell you how he knows that, or why exactly Federal Bonds are Better Bonds. But he believes it as firmly as though be owned Federal Bonds. And when that man comes to make hl* first purchase of a real estate bond he buys a Federal Bond. ' There is an explanation. It is simply that when a person feels deeply enough about any one thing he impart* that feeling, con­ sciously or sub-consclously, to those about him, and these shortly find themselves possessed of that feeling, and they in their turn • pass it on to still others. It is a never-ending process, working in ever-widening circle*. Throughout Michigan there is a widespread conviction that Federal Bonds have no equal, and this conviction on the part of many is so strong that it has taken on the nature of a pressure upon the thoughts of other people. And so, when all Is said and done, it is the pressure of this prefer­ ence for Federal Bonds that is slowly molding the thoughts of thousands upon thousands of people into the same great common thought that Federal Bonds are Better Bond*.

Chiropractic teaches that there is a “power within” which they call "Innate Int ellicence,” which builds the body from a parent cell or blastoderm; and that through all the circling “thrM score years and ten” thia intelligent power coordinates the physical functions, heals the body's wounds, mends its breaks, adapts it to tlie change of seasons, occupations and pursuits, and performs the miracle of chang­ ing common food into living, breathing, sensate bone and flesh. This power works through the brain and nerve system and when it wants any organ to act or a part of the body to move, it sends a command, or impulse, over the nerves to the proper muscle or organs. When it wishes the liver or spleen or any other aecretory organ or cell to secrete, It sends secretory impulses to that organ or cell. In like manner it sends excretory impulses over the nerves to the excretory or­ gans; sends calorific impulses to heat the body; expansive impulses to build the body; nourishes or feeds with trophic impulses; repairs with reparative and repro­ duces with reproductive impulses. This innate power sees through the optic nerves and the eyes; hears through the auditory nerves and ears; tastes through the gustatory nerves and taste bulbs; smells through the olfactory nerves and the nose; and feels through the sensory nerves and the organs of touch. As we readily see from* the foregoing, this “power within” uses the nerves for both sending of commands (mental impulses), and the receiving of vibrations. We l *tnow when a nerve is injured or impaired it will not properly transmit the commands (mental/impulses) sent from “Innate Intelligence” to an organ, part, or cell^nor will it propeHy transmit a vibration from any of these to "Innate Intelli­ gence. When this occurs the organ or part supplied by the nerve incoordinates, *' ir’j* ’*“• J° wor*c harmony with the rest of the body and it is then what we call dis-eased. ' ( *eac^e* th** *1*® backbone is Composed of movable segments (vertebrae) between which the nerves emit that lead from the brain to all parts.of the body; that these spinal joints sometimes become slightly misaligned and press upon the«spinal nerves, and that this pressure impairs the work of the nerve so that it doesn t properly transmit either mental impulses or vibrations. For instance: If the nerves leading to the stomnch are pressed upon or pinched, we have stomach trouble; if it is the nerves 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 incoordinate^, i. e.*J 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 vertebra adjusted to its normal position, thus permitting “Innate Intelligence,” the only power on earth that . heals, cures, or mends, to restore the organs to health. ch,™Pr*cl<>''« depend upon Ih.t innate power they uy that in the lexi­ con of Chiropractic that there are no incurable diwiaiei, -which doe. not mean, how­ ever, that diwan can not reach an incurable atase. .. 411 **” Chiropractor on earth pretend, to do ia to find and ADJUST the muat>,ned vartebra to ite normalI poailion, which open, the line, of communica­ tion (the nerve.) between “Innate Intelligence" and tho diawiated liuue'. oo.C!Vropr*c,0!?.d,> ““Plr ADJUST THE MISALIGNED VERTE­ BRA, thus permitting NATURE to cure, heal and repair tho dis-eased member.

WEDNESDAY, JULY It, IMS Depleting Gasoline Reserves ‘It is a matter of common knowledge that this year will see a revival of (gasoline) consumption which will tax the physical reserves of the oil industry to the utmost,’’ says Petroleum Age in its issue of April 15,1922. Present conditions indicate that the prediction of April 15 will be fulfilled. The estimated increase of automobile regristrations in the states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) for 1922 ■will approximate 500,000, making a total proba­ ble registration of 3,850,000 cars. Reports show that during the spring of .1922 large stocks of gasoline were accumulated, due to two principal factors, both transitory; first, the sensational production of the Mexia and Haynesville fields, a production which, however, has already fallen below half its peak and is diminishing rapidly; and second, the heavy and prolonged rains which made touring almost impossible. These reserves of gasoline have served to keep the market steady. Nevertheless, the vast in­ crease in the number of automotive vehicles and the extraordinary average mileage per car are depleting the reserve stocks rapidly. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), following its established practice of anticipating the needs of the people in the territory it serves, has in­ creased its facilities to an extent which enables it to guarantee that it will be in position to supply its patrons wherever they may be located. The entire organization, realizing that it is deal­ ing in a commodity essential to the happiness and well-being of all the people is bending every effort to keep the supply ahead of demand, that the obligation of the Company to the consuming public may be discharged completely.

EVER YBODY COME TO THE Eg Mid-Summer Picnic At the FAIR GROUNDS, Hastings, Mich. . THURSDAY. JULY 27* Thia invitation includes not only the farmers, merchants, professional men and all others living in the Townships, but also ALL the peo­ ple of Hastings, young and old, tall and short, fat and slim—in fact EVERYBODY living in Barry County is included in this invitation. We do not care whether you ever spent a cent in Hastings, or whether you will ever spend a cent in Hastings—that does not make one iota of differ­ ence. For this one day let’s ALL lay aside evepy consideration of business and give ourselves over to the thought that “we ought to be thank­ ful that we are alive” in this wonderful age, and devote our whole attention to the ONE IDEA of having a good, clean, wholesome, enjoyable day. Get Acquainted The object of this Picnic is to supply an opportunity for the residents of Barry County for a most enjoyable day and to renew and enlarge their acquaintanceship. There are lots of good people in the world, and lots of them right here ih Barry County. But if we don’t KNOW THEM WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO US? It is the sin­ cere desire of the Committee that EACH PERSON wear a card with his or her name and address plainly written or printed thereon. We have only one life to live on this old earth. But here we are passing the short span of our years within just a few miles of one another, but with the great ma­ jority of us just as complete STRANGERS as though we lived on the other side of the earth. IS IT WORTH WHILE? Shouldn’t life mean MORE to us than that, and are we not ALL missing out on one of the BIGGEST and BEST things of life—FRIENDSHIP? Think it over. An Ideal Time There could be no better or more ideal time to hold such a get-together picnic-than right NOW. Work on the farm'will be well edong and a brief respite from the ordi­ nary every-day duties of life will do us all GOOD—farm­ ers, laboring men, clerks, factory employees—in fact everyone—rbecause we all have our duties. Therefore let us hail with delight this happy and romantic season of picnics and outings, and we ask YOU to meet our prep­ arations for your enjoyment with the same enthusiasm pnd kindly spirit that has marked our desire to ADD TO YOUR PLEASURE. Our aim is that, whert this big Picnic is over, you can truthfully say that it was the BEST and MOST ENJOYABLE DAY you ever spent.

A Full Measure of Service HE First Quarterly Summary of Refinery Statistics issued by the Bureau of Mines (1922) states that 25# more gasoline was purchased by consumers in January, Febfuyy and March, 1922, than in the correspond* ing period of. 1921. Many well'informed marketers are predicting that there will be an insufficient supply of gasoline this summer in the Middle West T , The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) haa increased its facilities so largely that it feels safe in stating that it will be able to render to the people of the 10 sates it serves that degree of service which the public has come to expect from this organization. The manufacturing facilities of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have a capacity of more than one billion gallons of gasoline per Cir. These facilities are being operated 24 urs every day that patrons may be certain of securing their requirements of petroleum products as the/ need them. When the flood tide of demand occurs, car owners will realize that the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) has anticipated their needs fully and completely. When a motorist fills his tank at a conven­ ient service station in some remote comer of the Middle West, he may never stop to consider the vast and complicated machinery needful to put that gasoline where he wants it at the moment he needs it most. But he will appre­ ciate that it is there. He may never knefr that serving him involves experienced executives of trained initiative and resourcefulness; enormous expenditures for labor and raw material; great, modern refineries continpoualy operated; immense storage facilitiesi * magnificent distribution system; and the uni­ form effort of an organization\>f 25,000 men and women. All this is back of that small quan­ tity of Red Crown gasoline which every summer tourist confidently expects to purchase and •urely finds at all points in the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) considers genuine service. Standard Oil Company 910 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago 2836 eity, -recently received n letter from their son, Commander Arthur K.

FRENCH’S White Lily Flour FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is always de­ pendable because it is always the same. The sack you buy today is just like the sack you bought last week or last month. That’s because the contents of every sack are made in IDENTICALLY the same way as the contents of every other sack. No Other Flour Can Compare With it for '■ QUALITY and DEPENDABILITY When you buy flour for your family you want the BEST that your money can buy, and you are entitled to it. No other article of food in the home is AS IMPORTANT as flour because it is the very BASIS of all living. Poor , flour is a poor investment, because you can't make good, light, wholesome bread out of it—and BREAD IS THE STAFF OF LIFE. . aald Middle- Philip T. Cnlxrore. Attorney for Petition!

Having a complete act of Abstract Book* compiled from tho Record*, ean furnish complete abstract*. The grain that is used in FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is thoroughly cleaned and polished, and you would be surprised at the amount of dirt, dust and “fuzz” that comes from wheat that looks clean. In mills that are not as particular as we are, and do not have the equip­ ment for cleaning, all of that dirt goes into the flour and YOU HAVE TO BUY IT at so much per pound. In FRENCH’S WHJTE LILY you get nothing but PURE FLOUR. Here are some of the reasons why ^FRENCH’S WHITE LILY is always the same:— I st. We run this mill night and day, and it is a well known fact' that a good even grade of flour cannot be made in any mill that remains idle 1 0 or 15 hours each day —The STOPPING and STARTING AFFECTS THE QUALITY. 2nd. We put our grain through 1 7 sets of rolls. The ordinary mill has only 6 or 8 sets. That’s why FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is of such even gran­ ulation that the water and yeast work through it perfectly. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY has "grown-up” with Barry couhty.

The end of the axle is lathe-turned perfectly round, and grease is supplied to the axle bearing through the grease cup. Oliver machines have exceptionally easy draft, because of these bearings.. To insure a continual supply of lubricant the Oliver rollers are fitted with hard grease cups on the bearings. Bearings should be kept free from . dust and sand, and well lubricated. To protect the bearings against dirt a cast iron cap is fastened over the outer end of each axle, protecting the entire bearing. • - Nashville business men have decided to do away with their annual Home Coming Day thi* year.

Re­ ports from refining areas indicate that refineries aU over the country are being ran to capacity, and we do not anticipate a gasoline shortage though predictions to that effect are being maae.4 It has always been the practice of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to operate its refineries to as near capacity as possible during the months of low consumption in order that it might have on hand adequate supplies during periods of great consumption. Only a large and efficiently organized company can provide facilities which insure service re­ gardless of demand.

Judge Eggleston pointed out ths fact that Michigan has ths most liberal laws of any stats in safeguarding the property rights of women. A husband cannot dood or mortgage real estate whose title stands in his name without the consent of his wife; while the lat­ ter. if she own any real estate, can ■ell or mortgage it without the consent guard ths Interest of tho wife in the personal aa well as real estate of her deceased husband. Judge Eggleston called the attention of the many women who attended ths banquet to the fact that ths men of Michigan, long'before woman's sufforage became the law, and before It was aven seriously considered in thi* state, bad enacted into law these provisions that so adequately protect th* property right* of ths women of this stat*. The Judge felt that the women of Michigan ought to appreciate how fairly they and their interest* had been treated by the men of Michigan. Usually women speakers, especially those who ar* extreme in urging separ­ ata party action by women voters, are quite apt to speak slightingly of what the men have done for women. But Mrs. Eggleston does not belong to that class. Quito tho contrary, she argued that women ought, to find their place* ia existing parties; ssd, if these parties ar* not right, aoek to make them so rather than give any aid or encourage- NOTICE TO CITY TAXPAYER* OFFIOB REOPENED AUG. 14, Dt.

WTMIM, WEDNESDAY, AuOuMT B, 190 REASONS WHY— ___________________________________________________________________ ■ = = = i MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE GRADUATES EARN MORE MONEY We have helped more than 5000 young people to achieve success and become independent—to become an asset instead of a liability upon society. There are a number of reasons why our graduates are more than usually successful and we give some of them below. . 84% of the Men Who Reach the Age of 65 Years Are Dependent Upon Their Children or Public Charity Correct Vocational Guidance and Training “Square Pegs Don’t Fit Round Holes” Every year millions of young men and young women leave the school rooms of the country to find some occupation. Numerous motives lead them hither and thither. But* how exceptional are the cases where any attention is given at all to that most important condiion of real efficiency—personal fitness of the worker for his task. The most su­ perficial impulses determine the turns of the road. Chance information 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 hun­ dred other secondary conditions are decisive, while the primary factors are neglected. Vocational guidance is relatively a new science to many—it has been Mr. Argubright’s hobby for many years. The importance of proper vocational guid­ ance has received a wonderful impetus in the last few years. Its importance? has been proven by the work being done along this line by psychologist£~ahd the Vocational Bureaus established in our reconstruction hospitals, our col­ leges, our universities and our normal training schools. The greatest successes’ in business are made by round pegs in round holes, and by square pegs in square holes. There' is a place for every young man; there is a place for every young woman; a place where each one of us may ob­ tain the greatest success with the least effort. It is our business to find the place'for which every graduate of fhis school is best fitted to fill, and bear this in mind— . THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE IS ABSOLUTELY THE ONLY SCHOOL ANYWHERE IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY G1VING ASSISTANCE OF THIS KIND TO ITS GRADUATES! . Placing Graduates in Paying Positions C. J. ARGUBRIGHT President of Michigan Business and Normal ' College Through the extended acquaintance of Mr. C. J. Argubright, President of the Michigan Business and Normal College, gradu­ ates from this college have many opportunities to accept the best paying positions. Business firms like the Postum Cereal Company**, the Kel­ logg Toasted Com Flake Company; the Studebaxer Corporation of Detroit; the Olds Motor Company of Lansing; The Hudson Motor Company of Detroit; the Republic Motor Truck Com­ pany, at Alma; the Buick Motor Company of Flint; the Local Agency at Battle Creek.—These great business concerns, and hundreds of others, have learned to depend entirely on our rec­ ommendations. In fact, business men throughout the country are asking for. our Graduates. Even during the§e days we have many calls for graduates of Michigan Business and Normal College and are un­ able to qualify young men and young women fast enough to take care of the demand. The calls come to us not only from Battle Creek, but from many of the surrounding towns and cities. They come by telegram, by long distance ’phone, by letter, and by personal calls. . Instituting New Courses of Training as Business Demands ♦ I 0 All Business and Industrial firms are willing and glad to pay high salaries to competent office help. The great strides made in Business and Industry during the past few years have created a need for office help with new knowledge and training along new lines, together with efficiency. Michigan Business and Normal College has kept , ___ _.. pace with this demand, by adding new courses of training as business required. . ■ . . . 1 The New School of Secretarial Science was added to our course bf training in May, this year. It is a recognized fact today that secretarial work ie just as much '* a profession as law, medicine, engineering or teaching, and re- - ! quires special training. A few years ago, an average Stenographic Training, and • especially if backed by a few months’ Business and Bookkeep- | ing foundation work, was considered sufficient for secretarial duties, but with the growth of big business and the consequent new and varied demands, the executive of today has imperative need of a secretary with a practical, advanced training of full collegiate grade along the lines of Secretarial Science. Busi­ ness executives who are paid from $5,000.00 a year up cannot afford to waste hours of valuable time instructing employees in the thousand-and-one details which the modern secretary is expected to know. C. A. BALCOMB Director of School of Secretarial Belenko. Mr. C. A. Balcomb came with us June 1, u s director of the, new school of Secretarial Science. Mr. Bxlcomb 13 a man of superior mental attainments, a man of broad, general education, and a breadth of experience that is not usually found in any one Individual. Mr. Balcomb is an expert shorthand writer and re­ porter and Is recognized as being one of tho most efficient and capable Instructors In America today. In bringing Mr. Balcomb to Battle Creek, we know that we are offering an opportunity to the yonng people of this vicinity to obtain a train­ ing along the Stenographic and Advanced Secretarial Science lines not to be fSund elsewhere. The New Course in Public Accounting and Auditing . was instituted in Michigan Business and Normal College training in August, 1920. Financial, manu­ facturing, general business and public service con­ cerns now employ Internal Auditors and General Accountants in greater number than ever before. These Auditors, Comptrollers and Chief Account­ ants have many times requested us to rfecommend young people with sufficient training and general knowledge to take positions as Junior Accountants with a view to developing them into higher execu­ tives and accounting positions. This new department of training is under the supervision of Mr. Chas. Menz, Expert Accountant and Auditor, formerly of Troy, New York, for ten years head of one of the big schools of Accountii in New York State. « CHARLES MENZ Diractor of School cf Accounting nnd Administration. Let Michigan Business & Normal College Training Show the Way to Success We'Give You This Necessary Training The high salaried executives of tomorrow are selected from those who have the ability and the special training to do the wqrk that is to be done. * ■ Every office and every business organization is divided into two groups—those who di­ rect the business—the sales and accounts—and those who carry out these directions. Those whocarry out’the directions are th? assistant executives—stenographers, account­ ants, bookkeepers, confidential secretaries, assistants, etc. As changes take place or as busi­ ness expands, these assistant executives grow into higher executives and better paying posi­ tions. . Every year hundreds of young people—some high school graduates, some university graduates, public school teachers, and some with only a grade school education—come here to prepare fop just such positions. They come wholly unfit for positions like these. Yet they leave a few months later with a greatly increase^ earning capacity. They are able to enter any line of business. They can go to iny city in the United States and get a good position. This 18 the history of practically every big organization. The directing executives of today aro tho aatlriant executives of yesterday—the sumographsra, bookkeepers and the others who conio to tho organization with special training to make them of special neo to the organization. The Forty-Fir*t Annual Fall Term Begins Sept. 5-11,-1922. BuzUmss What these hundreds of young people have done—and are doing—YOU can do. You can prepare for positions like these—both in'CiVil Service and In Business. YOU can create a big demand for your services. You have .only to enter this School of Executive Science and follow to success the path which thousands of young men and women have token.

That’s What Millions of Housewives Do HAWAIIAN VOLCANOES FORM WONDERFUL STUDY Have Been Built Up From Ocean Depths and Attract Many Geologists ’ RADIO EQUIPMENT The entire group of Hawaiian Is­ lands, twenty in number, extending PROMISES TO BECOME in a chain for hundreds of miles, is Both Necessary and Common on All Automotive Driven Vehicles of volcanic origin, says Tho World Almanac, though some of the islets and reefs are but wave-battered remnants of volcanoes whose fires died out long ago. The Jsland of Hnwaii haa been formed by the eoaloM-ence of many re­ cently formed vokanoc-. The walla of the crater of the active voUano of Kilauea, on the island, arc broken dnwn on one side, giving aeera* to its “Jake of fire.” Thi« volcano haa not always been gentle in ita ways, but ia now so well behaved that the visitor* ean stand safely on tho edge of its fiery pit and, if the volcane La active, watch the molten, rork boiling and ■pouting 100 to 300 feet below. Some­ times mapy mountains throw up jets of glowing sulphurous lava aad light up with ghastly glare the frowning erag* that rim tho ejqjee, Then, auddeniv and with deafening datonationa, tbo jets rush together and convert the lake into a burning, -,-thiag, roaring mass, making a arene to which few I others in the world aro comparable. Mauna Loa, on the bland of Hawaii, and a neighboring vnlcania earn, Mauna Kea, both nearly 14,000 feet above tho sea, are among the higheet mountains in the world. On the ether islands of the Hawaiian group there ua -voleanie mountains scarcely lees interesting. Tho enter of Halcakala, in the summit of East Maui, 10,000 f*ct above sea level, ia qua of the largest extinct oaten in tho world and ia as well preserved as if its fires had been extinguished but a few yean instead of [^rhapa several hundred years ago. The active volcanoes of Hawaii give a wonderful demonstration of the proeesaea by which all these ialaad moutrtaina have been built up from the great depths of the orcan. Binee the days of Captain Cook, geologists and othero who are interested in the prob­ lems of volcanoes have visited tha Hawaiian Islands and written about them. Near the base of these mounttains of igneous rock lie fields of sugar cane, whieh are just now of special infereat. They aro supplied with water from mountain streams aad from wells and drainage tunnels that tap underground supplies. People who were hero at tho time'of the Michigan Pikers* morning all re­ member the radio equipped car ac­ companying the tourists whieh was the first over seen here. It is predicted they soon may bo in common use on various motor vehicles. Doctors especially will find them of great service, and men who have im­ portant business affairs and must keep in touch with each day’s events, will be able to take many heretofore de­ nied outings. It may not bo commonly known that aa early aa August 1919, wireloss telephone -reta wero in use on a few automobiles. Necessarily these Instru­ ments were more or less crude and for the purpose of experimentation, but they served as a nucleus for a quite general movement today to equip auto­ mobiles and trucks with radio as a mat­ ter of course. This, of course, opens up a fascinat­ ing line of thought. Imagine, for ex­ ample, how extraordinarily useful such equipment would prove to tha trucking business. Tho dispatcher or owner could keep in continuous conversation­ al toueh, for the purpose of giving in­ structions, with aO his drivers. The driver instead of leaving his seat and telephoning to the office, if be Is in town, eould simply “switch on’’ the instrument and without delay get in touch with head.quartera. If ho wore in trouble out on the road, he, in the same way eould. quickly communicate thio fact. This and many other in­ stances are referred to by a roeent Firestone 8hip-By-Truek bulletin. The latter ease is where wireless would prove extremely useful to the motorist aad while tha efficient radio eould not transport him any gasoline, it would soon get soma on the way, via sortie# ear. Imagine, too, the advan­ tage of the salesman being able to keep in toueh through this means with the home office or the touring party being able to transmit to those at home the wonders of ths scenie effects they SOUTH WOODLAMBb' were witnessing. . The banker or other business man Miss Iva Booher of West Woodland eould keep in touch with tho trend Kt the latter part of hurt week with of tho market, important telegrams Homer Rowlader.

WE WANT YOU TO SAVE GAS Some people question our sincerity when we urge our customers not to waste gas. “Why should they care?” they say. “The more gas the people waste the higher the bills are find the more they get.” To those unacquainted with the facts this sounds reasonably enough, but nothing could be farther from the truth. The good will of the public is our best asset. We want satisfied customers. It is easy to see, therefore, that a friendly customer with a small bill is more to our advantage than a customer with a high bill who thinks that he has been overcharged. Of course, we can not regujate the amount of the gas that you use, but we can and do urge you to take care that your consumption does not exceed your ac­ tual needs. In other words, we want you to obtain complete satisfaction from your gas service. If yoh don’t think that you are now getting just the results that you should cal! us and tell us your troubles.

Th* valuation for Barry county a* n»aiHmanilA<i by tha board of ataia tox eomjjMimrrs is 9-12,3M,000, represent­ ing an Idereasttd assessed valuation of 8<i,.140,000 over the valuation msdo by the board of supervisors. . While tho eounty valuation would ba increased by 96,349,000 if tho state board’s figures are accepted, tho per­ cent sgo of the total Mato tax which this eounty would have to pay would bo slightly decreased from the pereoptago qf a year ago.

On Monday, Aug. 21, the equalisation board will conduet a public hearing at which timo the counties may appeal from the figures as recommended by the state tax commission. Wayntv’s eounty valuation would be increased the most of any of tho 88 eountlts, if tho commission’■ figures aro adopted, but'as with Barry eounty, tko percentage of state tax would bo reduced.

It is not believed that tho dog h\* rabies. Mr. Kelley had phoned Mr. Braith.that he had a fat cow to sell, so Mr. $milh went down Friday afternoon to look at the animal. He found no one at home, and went to the bam to see if he could get in and find the fat cow. Near tho door the hound was tied to a wire extending alongside the bam, giving the canine a considerable ehance ,»q move about. The dog pounced upon Mr. Smith end savagely bit him below the stomach, cutting a long gash near­ ly to tha intestines. Mr. Smith tried to pusl; him away, and tho dog slit his thumb,with his sharp teeth. George visited Dr. Mohler who enutorixed tho wound*. The dog has seemed very friendly tn the family and to others since he attacked Mr. Smith, and shows no signs of rabies. The owner objects to killing the dog until be is sure he has rabies, but will* keep the hound under observation. MARTIN SCHOOL PICNIC.

Trunk Lino No. 79, from this eity to Nashville which fa to be completed within a year from the Cpunty Farm to tho foot of Barryyillo hill, reach** Hasting* via Ea*t State street. That street i* now paved to tho BHsa Co. plant: About a quarter of a mile more will take it to tho eity limit* on No. 79. Because it is a trunk line and be­ cause Commissioner Roger* favor* ce­ menting *uch line* through cities and village* it will bo comparatively ea>r to get tho state highway deportment to undertake that paving next year if wo sot about it. Likowfao Nashville ought to got busy and got tho sumo line cemented through Nashville. Already tho paving of Broadway north to tho now bridge from State street ha* been agreed to by tho sfato highway* comrhlurioncf and tho county; That is oifTnink Line No. 97. By time­ ly action, it can be arranged to have thi* lino cemented "fro* tho Broad­ way bridge westward to tho city limit*, from which to Grand Rapid* there will bo « splendid completed trunk lino highway next year. By timely action, and »omo ono like Alder­ man Sehador to look after tho matter, this ran Im easily arranged. Tho Colgtove Highway, work on whieh is to bo commenced next year, enter* thi* city on Green street, aud leave* it on Michigan avenue toward Wbodfand. By looking after it, tho co­ operation of tho state highway depart­ ment can be secured for paving Green street from tho end of tno paving a* it fa now to tho city limits, about onehalf mile. Likewise tho same course will secure tho completion of a pave­ ment from tho end of the Michigan avenne paving up to the *elty limit* aortheast of town. . Think how fine it would be to have these five approaches all cemented, and their future mnihtenaneo provided for! And it cap bo done if tho council and the citizen* will get back of. thi* very practical pfan tit Alderman Bcbader for securing that reault. Interesting Relic Showing Early Automobile Con­ >AY.

But it seems freely admitted that Federal deserves the title from the standpoint of the tremendous v?prk it has done, both in fixing new and higher standards of quality for bonds and in awakening the people of this commonwealth to the wonderful investment value qt the |ood fifrat ihoftgage bond. , y. Our store will dote Thursday afternoon* during > August , ‘ • k In the fight to rid this state df the fraudulent stock Issue'and thfe get-rich-quick promotion Federal has ever been foremost. ( j I WWW I I 1 I -O’ m I [ Michigan’s greatest first mortgage bond house It has long been ; regarded as the leader in the movement to guard investors against [ shady and insecure investments. * And in simple justice to Federal it can be fairly said that it deserves no small share of the honor for lessening annually the number of Michigan men and women who are fleeced of their hardwon savings. So if we interpret the word pioneer not from the point of age but • from the point of broad, educational achievement we,see that Federal has justly earned the name. , Our records show countless instances of men and women almost to the verge of succumbing to the lure of “risky” stock, who, in the end, resolutely turned to Federal Bonds. And It is with an inner glow of genuine pride that we reflect upon the fact that no Federal Bond has ever cost its owner the loss of a single dollar. . * Thruout the length and breadth of Michigan and in practically every other state in the Union Federal Bonds art known and spoken of as Better Bonds. It is this deep-rooted conviction that Federal Bonds are Better Bonds that has given such a growing impetus to Federal business that today the sale of Federal Bonds has reached a volume more than three times as great as that of the next largest Michigan real estate bond company.

W* foci certain our readers will onjoy reading it. It will soon be appareat that I ari not a public speaker, nor have I wit to entertain. I can never tell a story; oven, without leaving put tho point *n4 wondering why It sounds flat. But be­ ing a woman, of course I wanted to talk, oven though it was to be brief; and l msdo doo-baste to accept .the opportunity offered by Judge McAr­ thur to speak to yon. When I began to think about tho seriousness of thq occasion, .and wb*t_I_ was lotting.inyj self in for, my heart misgave mo, as 1 realised my limitations keenly; then it same to mo that we can appreelata the great things in. life by comparison .and contrast with tho opposite. _My place on the program will act sis a foil to emphasise tho brilliance nnd wit of the other speakers. Aad I wonder if, after all, that Is not tho "place of bonus that tho majority of women flit I am not saying -that, woman havo not equal ability with men. Their training has been along different linos; they havo made good in their field of action but heretofore with a few exceptions, their world. Men like to do things, to organls* and start big things, but they do not, like to do tho pottyrbnt most Im­ portant, detail work noeouary tn keep it going after it is started. Women, with a few brilliant exceptions, are not leaders and orgaaisers, but they aro both by nature and training, most effl* ciaht In picking up tho edds and tying tho'knots that wifi keep a business toSthor and inako It a success- I.boliov* o rank and file of women aro con. tent Io bo*t.ibo elbow of men helping io keep the wheels of the business ma* chino moving by looking after tho nil important detail work that will bring it to a sueefseful completion. Il is not to be wondered at that men resent th* advent bf women in tho business ranks heretofore hold exclul lively by themselves. We should bo in a position to appreciate their attitudi-j for there is nothing a woman resent* more than to have a man try to run hrr household affairs. Bbo is likely to tall’him tn language most omphalic where to get off at (to use a slang exprewdon). Women must bide tholr time; and 5rove thomselvc* .worthy of th* confit onto of men. They must not enter buslacM as wom*a, demanding and ex; pee ting th* coarteey and deference ex­ tended in tho aodal world, but ns n person ready and willing to act nnd do aa a man would be expected to do iu th* same situation. Michigan women owe much to tho broadness of her men. No other stato has done more for her women. In property matters the men have eared and provided for women bolter than for themselves. Timo will not permit of an enumeration of these facts. Be­ sides her ststutoey rights in personal property, a woman hplds one-third of all real estate of her husband. He eaalot sell or mortgage his lands with­ out her signature,,nor eaa ho'will , his property away from her. On the eth­ er hand a woman may .make whatever disposition of her property she desires. if there is a, child ho bolds no inisrost in her real estat*. .1 sin frank to *V that ! fUis is unfair in a. .way, but it shows what men did for.ua whan w* h*d no voice in making or carrying out the laws. The suffrage amendment was passed in MiehigaOy .the fflnp- It was ihri i desire to giyo as a square deal, so Id apeak, and they did it of their own Mfl will. Tho majority of women had not.asked fonjt; I bolloveJ *m safe in saying, had not .desired it. 1 1 owe tho position.I bold—not to mj{ exceptional ability on my part—but Io the men of Barry county, who look this way to express their appreehtiod of’tho year* of service given to the work of the offlre. At tn« November ejection fopowing my. appointment, there was no candidate in tho field Against ms. Words cannot. express the gratitude I have for tho kiudosss shown toward me by tha. wen of Barry count*; Tho men of. Michigan have always bc4q more than fair towards us. Wo should bo, we ought to be, we aro proud Of the mea of Michigan. Women promised, If given equal rights Of suffrage, to purify end up­ lift politics—tho opportunity is now ours. What are wo doing about tt! We cannot hope to attain this by forming a new party; or by apeing the weak* news of mon, trying to outdo them in drinking and smoking—by letting down tho bars and forgoing tho attribute* of womanhood which eotnmaadod and hold respect. Mon ha Vo always looked upon women as purer and floor than thcmselvoa, as evidenced by tho care and defcrone* paid us. They expected, and had a right to expeet us to keep onr promise and exert onr effort* to raise tho stand* ard *o that politics must bo placed on *■basis of truth and honesty—or fail. They wished tbelr better instincts up­ held and strengthened. They had leaned on u for purity in tho homo—they hoped we would stand equally firm for 9;ht principles in business.

REISINGER Hastings Woodland WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT, BUICK WILL BUILD THEM FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR The Flour That Makes the Best Bread You can't make good bread from poor flour, to your bread can never be any better than the flour from which it ia made. If you are using flour that ia only run through three or four acta of rolls, auch aa ia made in ordinary mills, you are not getting the beat flour 4or your money. Such flour ia not made right, because it ia rushed through the rolls ao rapidly that it ia 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. The result is a “poor baking.” Perhaps you will have to throw some of it away, which of course ADDS to the COST of the flour. OBDHB FOB FUBUOATIOB. Ul.l... .V. Zt™. Theft is nothing thAt is more indigestible than poor, heavy bread. There is nothing more healthful and appetizing than GOOD BREAD. You can be assured of good bakings every time you use FRENCHES WHITE LILY FLOUR. It is ry>t like ordinary flour. We clean our grain better, and put it through 17 seta of rolls bcfortL.it is finished and sacked. You pay no more for FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR than you do for the ordinary flour. By owning our own mill, water power and lighting plant; by running 24 hours a day, year in and year out, thereby cutting our “genefral expense” in two;, by having the latest and best equipment in flour making machinery, we are able to clean our grain, better, put it through 17 seta 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. ' You have probably made up your mind that “some time” you are going to try FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, if you are not now using it. Why not commence NOW? WHY NOT ORDER A SACK TODAY?

The correct flame la' blue. If the flame ia white or yellow, the mixture of gas and air entering the burner ia imperfect. This can be remedied by adjusting the air shutter on the mixing tube, or, in extreme cases, by adjusting the sizo of the gas orifice. A yellow flame is waste­ ful. Furthermore, it deposits Hoot nt the bottom of pots and pans. If you have a eolltype water heater, see that ■ tho coils are kept free from soot by brushing them at j frequent intervals. The soot acts as an insulator, and con­ siderably more gas is re­ quired to get hot water than when the coifs are clean. Qt course, with dirty, greasy burners you can not expect to obtain maximum results from your gas service. It is just as necessary to clean gds burners as it‘is to clean windows; .

J The Rosenthal Special 4-roll Husker will actually husk more corn under the same conditions with the same pow­ er, than any six roll husker made—and the same is true of the No. 1 Rosenthal 2-roll Husker, over any other 4-roll. ROSENTHAL HUSKERS ARE STRONGER AND LIGHTER RUNNING THAN ANY OTHER HUSKER. One farmer near Freeport, Mich., last year ran his No. 1 Rosenthal with a 41 H. P. United Engine, however, 6-8 H. P. is recommended for greater capacity. The construction is powerful and simple. All the gears and pinions are made of steel. TheTollers are of solid iron, and have a 2-in. steel shaft clear through the center. The upper part of the rollers is for snapping purposes, each roller being fitted with twp interchangeable steel chan-’ nels and two flat steel bars which can easily be replaced when worn.

YOUNG MEN! C. J. ARGUBRIGHT Prexident and Business Manager Michigan’s Leading Business Training School for Forty Years THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE TRAINS THOROUGHLY FOR BUS­ INESS AND OBTAINS EMPLOYMENT FOR ALL GRADUATES. YOUNG WOMEN! You are standing at the parting of the; ways. Never before in the history of the world has it been so vitally ftriportant for young men and young women to be thoroughly trained. People have recognized for years the great value of a thorough training at the Michigan Busi­ ness and Normal College._We prepare you for aucceu in business. Our courses of study and training are for use, not for ornament. They spread before you hundreds-of vivid examples of,the actual way and manner by which business today is .carried qp. They bring to your mind the beat methods of thousands of successful business men—ar­ ranged and tabulated into a definite science—so as to form a most thorough, complete and practical course. Think of the great number of business pointers and money-making ifleas in our courses of training—not merely generalizations, vague, untried, guesswork theories—but definite, specific methods and plans —every one repeatedly tried and tested in the crucible of daily ex­ perience, every one the valuable product of ’costly experiment, every one with a definite dollar-and-cent value to yoy as long as you live. Imagine the gist of the experience of all the mighty men of business brought into compact, tangible form for your., benefit—imagine the ideas, the methods, the very same plans used in the factories, the work shops, the offices, the executive rooms being transferred and arranged for your study and application, yet placed before you easy to under­ stand and intensely interesting. . 1 THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE, i» composed of five distinct schools: The School of Business and Bookkeeping. The School of Shorthand and Typewriting. The School of Secretarial Science. • Tho School of Accounting and Business Ad­ ministration. j, Tho Commercial Normal Training School Tho courses offered in the School of AcconntSecretarial Science, and the Commercial Normal Training School are course, of full collegiate grade. cotmtanta, ^Bookkeepers, Correspondents, Secre­ taries, Advertisement Writers, Salesmen, Busi­ ness Managers, Court Reporters, General Re­ porters. Stenographers, or Teachers of the Com­ mercial Branches will find the MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE a most attractive opportunity for study, instruction and practice. _ MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COL­ LEGE graduates are in demand. The calls for onr students always far exceed the supply. Many business firms rely upon us entirely for all additional workers. At ‘‘THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NOR­ MAL COLLEGE you can qualify for rapid ad­ vancement to a good situation and a high sal­ ary. Many former graduates an now earning more than 110,000.^0 a year as a direct result of our training. Persona] analysis and individual direction by Mr. Argubrigbt aad Mr. Balcomb, vocational ex­ perts, insures your being placed in the business world where you belong. The tuition rates ire moderate and entirely within the reach of ambitious, discriminating young men and young women, who realise that the best in education b always the cheapest. Students enroll and begin work every week day of the year. Tho school occupies the entire third floor and part of tho second floor of the Tacoma Building at 43-15 47 West Main Bt. Fox full information address C. J. Argubright, • President, Battle Creek. Michigan...................... Here Are a Few Other Reasons Why You Should Attend the Michigan Business and Normal College John L. Kellogg, Vice-President of the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Company, and whose salary is measured by ths thousands of dollars annually, says he owes his position and salary directly ^and wholly tq the training and efficiency that he acquired as < student of this school. Pauline Kellogg, sister to John L. Kellogg, nt the suggestion of her brother, completed the full Secretarial Course, and. the Special Training for Civil Service. She passed the exam|patitin with an ex­ ceptionally, high standing and secured her appointment almost immedi­ ately at a salary of $1,820:00 per annum-to start,- with a guaranteed increase to $1,440.00 per annum at the end of three months’ service. Earl R. Finlay, Manager for the Studebaker Company at Spokane, Washington, says that his personal efficiency and ability as a manager is the direct result of his course of training at tha M. B. & N. C. He also says that Mr. Argubright’s lectures on Salesmanship and Personal Efficiency have enabled him to handle his own salesmen with a far greater degree of success than he could otherwise have done. Walter Haughey was earning something like $40.00 a month prior to his attendance at "The School That Gets Results.’’ Today he is Sales Manager for the McFarland Auto Company at DenveY, Colorado. Mr. Haughey says that any young man or young woman who wishes tp succeed “big” in the world of business should acquire the training offered at the Michigan Business add Normal College at the earliest possible moment. He emphasizes the personal supervision and indi­ vidual direction that each student will receive while a student of this school. His phenomenal advancement in the world of business is a di­ rect result of the personal supervision and guidance that he received while a student here and after graduation. / Miss Nettie Camamile, private secretary to the Chief of thu Di­ vision of Schools and Colleges for the Burroughs Adding Machine Com­ pany of Detroit, has more than trebled her salary as a public school teacher by and through her training with us. - One oi the Greatest Reasons for the Success of Our Graduates Lies in the Correct Vocational Guidance Given Every Student Who Attends the Michigan Business and Normal College.. A young man came to this school and said he wanted to be a book­ keeper, but during the .first few weeks of his training, we discovered that he possessed all the characteristics of a high grade salesman. Act­ ing on our advice after graduation he took .a position not as bookkeeper but as a salesman, and the first six months his salary and commissions totaled $4,800.00. Today he is a field manager for a large manufac­ turing corporation, a position he secured because of his exceptional ability in salesmanship and the training he received at the Michigan Business and Normal College. . ■ , Why not capitalize your natural ability by taking advantage of the training offered by the Michigan Buainess and Normal College? Why not take advantage of our correct Vocational Guidance? . Millions of young men and young women start out in early life, to find some occupation. They straggle here and there trying to find the particular place in the world occupation for which they are best fitted. Many of them go it blind, without any direction whatever, with­ out any attention being given to that most important condition of real efficiency—-personal fitness of the worker for his task. Vocational guidance is relatively a ne,w science to many. It has been Mr, Argubright’s hobby for many years and he is an expert in this line as well as that of business. The importance of proper vocational guidance has received a wonderful impetus in the last few years. The greatest successes in business are made by round pegs in round holes and square pegs in square holes. There is a place for every young man; a place for every young woman, a place where every one of us may obtain the greatest success with the least effort. It is our business to find the place for which every. graduate of this school is best fitted to All. And bear this in mind—-THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE IS ABSOLUTELY THE ONLY SCHOOL ANYWHERE IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY GIVING REAL ASSISTANCE OF THIS KIND TO ITS GRADUATES. Will You Follow in Their Footsteps? What We Did for Them We Can Do for You Clyde L. Bush enrolled at the Michigan Business and Normal Col• lege for the Special Course in the School of Accounting and Business Administration immediately 'after completing his High School training in the Battle Creek public schools. Mr. Bush is the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Bush, 165 Maple street. In connection with his studies in the School of Accounting and Business Administration he carried the full Secretarial Course, and immediately uppn graduation was placed in an excellent position as Personal Secretary and Assistant to Mr. A. N. Snyder, Branch Accountant and Auditor for the Republic Motor Truck Company. This particular position was created for Mr. Bush. His desk is in the same office with that of Mr. Snyder and Mr. T. F. Kearns, General Auditor. It ia one of those offices with a thick rug on the floor, mahog­ any furniture, an0 a sign on the door which reads: “Branch and General Auditors-r-PRIVATE—Next Door for Information.” * Mr. Bush's duties consist of taking in dictation and transcribing all of the instructions to Branch Managers pertaining to the‘account­ ing procedure, all the instructions to the various departments of. the plant pertaining to new accounting forms, procedure, etc; He has a wonderful opportunity to grow to an Auditor's position, for he is in the direct line of promotion and has every opportunity to learn the details connected with the job. And thus does M. B. & N. C. training pave the way for hundreds of young people. Gertrude Wilkins, 121 South Hudson street, Coldwater, enrolled at the Michigan Business and Normal College for the Combined Busi­ ness and Shorthand Course immediately after completing her work in. the Coldwater High School last June. She is now employed as a Sec­ retary in the office of one of Coldwater’s manufacturing industries and is getting along splendidly. In a recent letter to Mr. Argubright, she said: “ .. . .. ■ "I certainly can appreciate more and more the fact that I attended the Michigan Business, and-Normal College. No real business office has room for the untrained, and they will not make room to conveni­ ence you, no matter who you are. /Your pay is based on what you KNOW. "Three of my cousins attended ’The School that Gets Results,* and all are holding splendid positions and are on their way to better ones.” ' Lewis Van Arman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Van Arman, Mar­ shall, graduated from the Marshall High School and immediately en­ rolled at the Michigan Business and Normal College for the Special Secretarial Course. He graduated December 10,1021, and took a position on the morn­ ing of December 12 as Personal Secretary to Mr. Beitler, General Man­ ager of the Republic Motor Truck Company at Alma. Mr. Van Annan’s position is another-qne of those places directly at the elbow of the man’ who has the power-of promotion within his hands. Practically all instructions to the various departments of that great institution are dictated to Mr. Van Annan. Taking dictation re­ garding every phase of the business, he has a wonderful opportunity to learn the routine of thp organization and -some day take over im­ portant executive responsibilities of his own. Just out of school-^-and able to step'into a position like this and make good! Isn’t that about as fine a recommendation as you could ask for his training? Doesn’t this bear out everything that has been said about thoroughness of courses and about the confidence employers have in young people who have had the Argubright stamp of approval placed upon them? How about your own future, young man, young woman? Can Jou‘ hope to find an opportunity like this without getting the training usiness regards as so essential before they will even put you on the office payroll?

State* Senate to sureced Hon. Cha*. E. Townsend,-of Jackson, the* present* incumbent of that high offlee;-----If there ia any truth in the old say­ ing that "one good term deserves an­ other,” or if it ia a fart that when a man has demonstrated hia fitness for an office he should bo re elected, then there ought to be no opposition what­ ever to Mr. Townsend. Ho is a hard worker, aud a statesman, rather than a politician. Through sheer ability he has reached n commanding position in the Senate that it would take a new man many years to reach, even grant­ ed that he had the ability. His work nnd his splendid talents "are always on the side of constructive legislation— something that will build up our coun­ try nnd make it greater. His namo will be,forever inseparably linked with tho Great Lakes to Ocean waterway, .by way of tho St. Lawrence river. It will bo built sometime, probably not many years henee, and it will mean far more' to Michigan nnd the Central West than the great Panama Canal does to this country, because every city on tho Great Lakes would reallv be an ocean port. Millions upon millions would bo saved the jM'oplo. in freights, and it would mightily help,in relieving a rail transportation problem that Is becom­ ing acute. Senator Townsend’s states­ man ship is of a caliber large enough, and his view of affairs ia broad enough to cope with all tho various and com­ plex details that will arise, and ’’iron them ouL” Why shouldn’t ho bo re­ turned! It is a matter to bo regretted, wo feel, that Congressman Kelley has an­ nounced his - candidacy for tho Benato to succeed Senator Townsend, and especially so' inasmuch as ho seeks to do it upon the issue of "Newberry," whom Congressman Kelfoy admits ha supported nnd with whom ho was very friendly. Perhaps Senator Townsend made a mistake in voting to seat Senator Now­ berry; but we do not see it that way. That he was honest in his position, and did just what bo thought was tho right thing Io do, no ono will question who knows him, or who ha* watched his course in public life. Senator New­ berry received a majority of several thousand votes in Michigan which a re­ count justified. Every phase and anglo of the campaign was gone into, and it was found that not a dollar of Now­ berry money was used for corrupt pur­ poses or to buy votes; Tho United States Supreme Court reviewed the case nnd decided overwhelmingly in favor of Senator Newberry. Under the cir­ cumstance* Senator Townsend couldn 3 do anything else than just what ho did do. Ho took a stand that ho thought was right, fully realizing that which­ ever way he voted would bo displeasing to sonic. Tho editors of the BANNER nru just :.s much opposed to any man buying the Scnatoc.liip as any people con be. But under the circumstances we fscl that sometime the people of Michigan aro going to feel like giving Senator Newberry a vote of thanks for enter •ng the contest and winning out. If yon will recall tho circumstances you will remember that Henry Ford war willing to run for tho Senate on either •ho dcmocra'.ic ticket or tho republi­ can ticket, ’ihat of itself doesn’t look good. A man should stand for some­ thing. Further,'Henry Ford asido from being probably tho richest man in tho world, is also a nationally-advertised man and has agencies bv tho hundreds all over Michigan and the whd(o coun­ try in, fact. That gave hln> a marked advantage over any man not so adver­ tised. Every boy too, who served his country during tlic.great war, end ev­ ery father and mother of a soldier boy will not forget that it was Henry Ford who said in effect that tho word "Murderer" should be written across tho breast of ovary American soldier; people will also recall that nt tho Henry Ford libel suit against the Chicago Tribune, he displayed an ignorance that was appalling, which led him to state that "History ia bunk." History ia recorded experience, and ".expcricneo is a good teacher." It looked for a time an though Mr. Ford was going to havo a walkaway in tho contest. But Truman Newberry entered tho lists and’ with tho assistance of friends built up an organization that was successful in rolling up a majority for him. Not a dollar of Newberry money was spent to corrupt the electorate, though there is no question but what more money was spent than should havo boon, or than it was necessary to spend. Barry eounty rolled up a good big ma­ jority for'*Newberry, but the trial at Grand Rapids disclosed that only*a lit­ tle more than 1100 was spent in this county by Newberry and purely for necessary organization purposes. With his wonderful business organization and being nationally advertised, any man to successfully compete with Mr. Ford MUST spend a lot to lot the peo­ ple know WHO ho is, WHAT ha stands for, and WHAT ho proposed to do. When it is remembered that it cqsts over 125,000 to send just ONE letter to tho voters of Michigan | it is easy to seo how utterly foolish anil un­ called for any law is that seeks to limit the campaign expenditures of any Sen­ atorial candidate to 13,750, or one-half his annual salary. There is no ques­ tion but what many times that amount waa spent by Mr. Ford and his sup?orters in tho contest for Senatorship. n a campaign like tho Ford-Newberry contest, $3,750 wouldn't be enough to inform over ONE-SEVENTH of tho voters of Michigan of who tho candi­ date was and what ho stood for. Un­ der our Primary system voters are en­ titled to KNOW. There is only ono way that the people can KNOW and that is to TELL them—and telling them eosts money The BANNER has nothing whatever against Mr. Ford. It recognizes him a* a mechanical genius with a wonder­ ful gift of organization. Such a man is invariably of a "one-sided” .de­ velopment, and men who arc developed along ono side do not make great statesmen or show much ability along any other lines excepting tho one in which they exeell, pecauso , their thoughts naturally 'run along in one di­ rection. Great orators, great musicians, noted professors rarely uro good busi­ ness men, very ratoly are good for much of anything else outside of tho one line along which their talents have been developed. Old Mother Nature seems to havo Unwind our abilities in this respect. It takes a good "all around" man for a successful states­ men. He must have broad vision and a comprehensive grasp of things> that need to bo done and how to. do'them and not look at things in a one-sided way.

' The history of the healing arts (?) is but the story of the errors of the past, and no doubt in an­ other century vaccination and serum therapy will be regarded in the sama light as wo now regard witch­ craft. In fact the light seems to bo breaking already, as wttnesr the followiifc frpm the Internation­ al Brief Journal, Vol. 18, No. S: "Tho Canadian government has passed a law prohibiting the use of oerum. England aboltihed compulsory vaccination because 70,000 soldiers'were sent back from Gallipoli Peninsula with tuberculosis.” England and Canada are apparently immuno from further attacks of COMPULSORY vaccination and serum therapy, due to the deadly effects of the experiment on her bravest and best. Of course the man who injects serums at from two to five hundred dollars a shot may be expected to show a little enthusiasm, as may the man who own* a serum factory and whose Income depends upon the sale of bls product, but if those who have to pay for it and suffer the consequences fall to prove the enthusiasm infectious perhaps they will bo forgiven.

One of every 127 "Flu" patients died under Osteopathic treatment. ■ One of every 513 "Flu" patients died under Christian Science treatment. One of very 880 "Flu" patients died under Chiropractic adjustments.

F The fact that the cost of field work is reduced • by the use of tractors is well known. The fact that the farmer's time is conserved by the use of automobiles is a matter of common knowledge. Now comes the National Automobile Association in its Year Book of 1922 with the statement that the cost of hauling products iff horse-driven wagons from the farm to shipping points averages 30c per ton mile for wheat and 35c for corn, while over the same rotfds the cost of hauling by motor truck is only 15c per ton mile. . That the intelligent farmer in the 10 states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) realizes tnc efficiency of power transportation is shown by the fact that he owns and operates 1,112',2Q3 automobiles and 46,582 motor tracks. These are distributed as follows: Motor Can Motor Trucks On Farms Indiana - - - 102,122 Illinois • - • 139,090 82,437 Michigan - Wisconsin - - 98,825 Minnesota > - 107,824 Iowa - • - 177,558 Missouri - •- - 86,229 North Dakota - 47,711 : South Dakota - 58,352 Kansas - - * 111,052 On Fzrms 3,671 6,154 4,886 4,044 3,803 9,910 5,059 774 4,353 3,928 These can and trucks can be operated on the same basis as similar equipment in towns and cities because the Standard Oil Company, (Indiana) through its vast distribution system delivers its products into the farmer’s storage tank under the same conditions as to the city dweller having similar'equipment.

Fair play is a* mdeh a jowcl i hero as anywhere else in life. There is no less reason why political pasties should not deal fairly and keep good faith than for individuate to do so. There are three counties in this 15th senatorial district. It .is fnir to assume that no one of the counties and no one person has a monopoly of tho talent that is caimbic of properly represent­ ing thi* district nt Lansing. A spirit of fairness-would give to each county a chance to name a senatorial candidate for a definite period- That being so, goad faith in a party ought to compel respect for tho precedent that may be set in thnt district. In this senatorial district tho prece­ dent ha* boon set ever si neo tho dis­ trict waa organised' for two terms for each of tho three counties in rotation. It is now Ciinton county's turn to have the senator; and they have presented a clean, able, capable candidate in the Jerson of (loorgo G. Hunter,; of Bt. ohns. . . Eaton county ha* had the senatorahip for the past two terms. Henator Mc­ Arthur knows that ho and Furnicr Sen­ ator DeFoc arranged that Mr. DeFoe should bo Eaton’s candidate four years ago. Ho was elected, served one term and tpen kept his agreement with Mr. McArthur by declining to bo a candi­ date against Mr. McArthur two years ago. As the rest of fho district felt that it was Eaton county’s own affair, they kept good faith with Eaton, and presented no candidate in the primary against Mr. McArthur. Mr. McArthur now shows that he is not disposed to respect the rights of the other two counties of thia district, but proposes to - bo a candidato this year for state senator, placing his own selfish ambition abovo tho rights and interest* of tho district; and if ho suc­ ceeds, then one county ean monopolix* the nomination a* long ns she pleases, and tho desire and right of tho other counties for representation in tho sen­ ate can bo ignored for all timo. Under those conditions, tho BANNER bcliovcs that Mr- Hunter ought to bo nominated by tho republican* of this district and .Senator MeArthur allowed to wait until it is Eaton county's turn again. That will be, in our judgment, gCMjll faith end fair play. Wo do not boliovo thnt Eaton county or Mr. Me­ Arthur should wipe their foot on the rest of tho district. CAUGHT A WHOPPER.

"Larger Crop* From Fewer Acres" Ii the Slogan for Successful Farming Dnvid Friday, the new president of tho Michigan Agricultural College, hu* been giving sumo very timely addresses to the farmers of this state. President Friday hn* told the fnnncrs that they need not look for higher, but rather for lower, price* for farm products. He ha* said also that manufactured and nil other products must and inevitably will.eome down to tho price level of farm products; because the 40 per eent of our population who live on farms nre. the largest consumers of such prod­ uct*. and tho *lackened demnnd from them will bring olEef price*~3own with­ out question, until lower prices enable them to buy. But President Friday takes /io pes­ simistic view of tho future for the Michigan farmer. Quite tho contrary, he states that it is entirely possible for tho farmer* of Michigan, with low­ er price* for their products, to add 550,000,000 n year to their income* by co-operation with tho M. A. C. for tho next five yenrs. And as President Fri­ day is one of this country’s greatest nuthoritic* on economic subjects he is undoubtedly speaking* entirely within bounds in making thi* statement. \ Farming cannot be conducted as in the ;>ast by taking the fertility of soil, represented in products, from tho land nnd restoring none of the Soil element* whieh cropping remove*.

SEPT.12 Continued from fint pgga. •ent for governor,.for which there are two candidate*. 8o far ai having any effect on nomiBations, the primary law affect* repuHenna only. In thia.county, for in­ stance, democratic nominations are, for all practical purposes, made by a eounty gathering, where the men to bo named are agreed on nnd the proper petitions signed ready for filing. No one can criticise this method, because the democrats have a perfect legal and moral right to do this if they so choose, nnd it is tho only way in whieh * minority party can meet the situa­ tion. Ths BANNER believes that the pri­ mary system is unsatisfactory- an a plan for making nominations. It is not a ease of majority rule, but of minority rule wherever three or more candidates nre in the field. It is ex­ pensive. It will cost the people of Barry county all of *1,500 to. *2/100 to hold this primary election, and will result in minority nominations in near­ ly every case where three or more can­ didates are on the primary ballot for any one office, while a county and state convention would eost the people not a cent in county or state, and nominations by actual majorities would havo resulted in convention*. And tho conventions eould bo so safeguarded ns to prevent corrupt action within them. ‘The primary system, judged by recent history, has greater evils, costs candidates far more, and gets no bet­ ter candidates In the field than con­ ventions do—for the appeal is to pop­ ularity rather than fitness. And the quarter of a million dollars—a conserv­ ative estimate—which a primary elec­ tion eost* the eountiea and tho state would all be saved by having candi­ dates named by conventions—and that ia the representative way, and ours is a representative government.

Nicolson, Manager Heed Department, Michigan State Farm Bnthe alfalfa and clover fields of Utah and Idaho, it would not bo necessary to write thia letter; but aa moot of you will bo unablo to take in this situation first hand, you will probably bo inter­ eater in the prospect for alfalfa and Clover prices as influenced by this great producing section. Unlike Michigan', tho seed eretions hero are rather restricted in area, but in these restricted areas, seed is tho main erop. In several communities in Millard eounty, Utah, tho largest al­ falfa seed producing eounty in tho world, two-third to threo-t^uartera of ths cultivated land la growing alfalfa for seed purposes. In thia section, the seed is setting profusely. Unless they are bit with an early frost, Utah and- Idaho will pro­ duce a bumpor alfalfa seed erop. Bod and Alsike elovors aro not grown in Utah. Idaho's crop of alsike ia eetimated about the aame m last year with rod clover about 75 per eont of laat year. Arizona is just threshing an alfalfa seed erop estimated at over 125 ears. According to toots at the Michigan Ag­ ricultural College and other informa­ tion available this seed ia absolutely un­ adopted to Michigan conditions but the most of-it will be sown In the middle western states. However, farmers us­ ing Farm Bureau Brand seeds nood have no fear of it. California's alfalfa erop is reported about normal. KanMs crop prospocts reported light. It will know moro about tho latter after stopping at points thore on tho way homo. I almost forgot to mention that “cheap seed” huntsra should not overlook tho opportunity to buy imported alfalfa seed, around three million pounds of whieh eamO in dur­ ing May, Juno and early July. Bomo of this has been quoted as low as lO^c per pound F O. B. New York in whole­ sale quantities. I don’t know whether anyone is under quoting us bsek there just now or not but some of them ought to bo able to.

Much credit is dun Gov. Groesbeck for his splendid work in piecing Michigan on tho budget sys­ tem pnd in lowering expenditures. ' A largo percentage of tho decrease is doe to the consolidation of depart­ ments doing similar work, thereby dis pensing with numerous high salaried elerks and placing ths affairs of the stale on an efficient business basis. As a result of Gov. Groesbeck’s ef­ forts, the state treasury will show a ly. These two factors will probably fina surplus at the cud of this year, cause ths market to open up thia fall rather than tho usual deficit wo nave a little lower than laat year. Present indieationa are that fall and early winmend our Governor for hie untiring Ur buying will again be profitable thia work whieh has proven eq euecaeaful, and know it mart be a satisfaction to him and to hie friends, as wall as money in the pockets of tke tax payers aunna w.rr advb. mt. of Michigan. THE SOY BEAN IS NOW BECOMING MAJOR CROP Has Large Acreage in Corn Belt —From It Are Made Soapa, Oila, Lard, Etc. Tho soy bon is rapidly taking a place aa a major crop in the farming sys­ tems of tho corn belt,, replacing oats to a considerable extent, and taking part of tho corn acreage, ears tho de­ partment of agriculture. Although pri­ marily used for forage, pasture and ensilage, tho growing of seed during the last few years has become a very profit­ able industry. The production of *vd has now Increased to ths point where the supply greatly exceeds ths demand for planting. County »oy bean a»«>eiatlona, grow­ ers. county agents nnd oxtearion offi­ cials, notably in Illinois aad Indiana, have concerned theniM-lveo iu tho de­ velopment of a commercial outlet for tho seeds, it is noted.

Two mills in Illinois have planned to use about 750,­ 000 bushels this season, Lt has boon re­ ported to tho department, while other mills are planning on a smaller scale.

A murh high­ er percentage of clean fields is notable this year in 'that region owing to the earcful roguing out of weeds by farm­ ers. The cleanest seed is usually pro­ duced the second year after planting. “Not only docs the individual grow­ er secure a much better price on clean seed, but the seed handler is able to Ct a better profit. The greatest benecomes to the buyer who grows elaan seed for planting. Cheap seed usually carries a higher percentage of weed seeds than tho better grades or is poorer in germination. Cheap seed is often the most expensive seed that can be bought." WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDSWhat this country needs is not a new birth of freedom, but the old fashioned 92 lower berth.

Common Sense About First Mortgages It has some well known disadvantages, such as the difficulty, at times, of collecting the principal when it is due. Sometimes, too, prompt payment of the interest is not forthcoming. Besides this, there Is a quantity of “red tape" connected with taking a first mortgage । there is the further inconvenience of personal collections of in­ terest, and of principal. There Is also the necessity of seeing that insurance is provided and taxes paid. Many times, and particu­ larly in smaller communi­ ties where a splendid spirit of neighborly helpfulness persists, a personal element entersintothe transaction, frequently to the disadvanment, of the holder of the’ mortgage. All the** ob^tctioni are eliminated tn the more modern form of the firet mortgage—the real estate first mortgage bond. This Is not only safer, but it is far more convenient. And It assures the bond holder of prompt pay­ ment of the interest, by cheek, every six months, und payment of the prin­ cipal on the date it is due. Union Bonds pay 1%. They are literally parts of first mortgages, Secured by some of the best business and apartment buildings in Detroit. TERMS:—All sums of >5.00 and under, cash.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECEIVE $25,000.00 PER YEAR? Then Read What The New York Tribune Says About ACCOUNTANTS and THEIR PAY Certified Accountants Have Fine Field for Their Work -.. A new profession, some uf whose members have'received as much as $72,000.00 for a single fee, has within the last few years come into existence in this country and has been placed by the Legislatures of over forty states on prac­ tically t)rc same legal basis as the practice of law and medicine. And yet, in spite of tKe great rewards to its prac­ titioners. this new profession, certified public accounting, is so far from being crowded that it can hardly meet the constantly grpwing. demand for its sendees. In 1896, it numbered only one-hundfed members, and even today,-when its importance is generally recognized by the business community, there are not more than three thousand members in full standing. And these men are working in a new business Klondike, in which nuggets of $25,000 and $50,000 are not rare—a region* to which competent newcomers find a ready and lucrative welcome. , Students find immediate employment in great cities all over the country, where their knowledge of the new pro­ fession is invaluable. The majority of the graduates, however, go directly into public accountancy, and secure C. P. A. degrees. These find ready ^employment even as junior accountants with the established firms, which find it difficult to get enough men to supply accountants for whose services the accounting firm charges from $10.00'to $25^00 a day.—The New York Tribune. • C.

Bush enrolled at the Michigan business and Normal College for the Special Course in the School of Accounting and Business Administration immediately after completing his High School training in the Battle Creek public schools. Mr. Bush is the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Bush, 165 Maple street. In connection with his studies in the School of Accounting and Business Administration he carried the full Secretarial Course, and immediately upon graduation was placed in an excellent position as Personal Secretary and Assistant to Mr. A. N. Snyder, Branch Accountant and Auditor for the Republic Motor Truck Company. This particular position was created for Mr. Bush. His desk is in the same office with that of Mr. Snyder and Mr. Carl C. Anderson, Assistant Comptroller. It is onp of those offices with a thick rug on the floor, mahogany furniture, and a sign on* the door which reads: “Branch and General Auditors—PRIVATE—Next Door for Information.” Mr. Bush's duties consist of taking in dictation and transcribing all of the instructions to Branch Managers pertaining to the account­ ing procedure, all the instructions to the various departments of the plant pertaining to new accounting forms, procedure, etc. He has a wonderful opportunity to grow to an Auditor’s position, for he is in the direct line of promotion and has every opportunity to learn the details connected with the' job. • , And thus does M.

It is tho largest citizens military canin in the country ami over 3,000 arc enrolled for a few weeks' training. The following nows letter concern­ ing incidents there will be found of interest: Friday, August 4 th, 3,000 new stu­ dents of the C. M- T> C. took tho oath of allegiance and were sworn Into service for one month by General Geo. V. H. Moseley, Commanding General of Camp Custer. Tho Companies formed on either side of the flag staff and stood at attention whilo tho General and his staff passed through to a stand in the renter from which ho addressed tho mon. Tho General said in part, “From 3,000 homes you havo come; from 3,000 homes you havo volunteered for training to fit yourselves ns better citizens of the communities In whieh you live. You havo entered a happy fnmily hero in the largest C. M. T. C. in the United States. We stress lead­ ership here, and wo want you to get that spirit and that of comradeship among your non-commissioned officers and tho men about you- After one month you will go baek to 3,000 indi­ vidual homes, to 3,000 individual groups of friends in which each of you will become leaders. There you will help this nation solve all manner of probbuems in a way that will continue £o make it the greatest country in the worl/i.” General Moseley then led tho men in tho oath of alhujianec. which each man repented with his right hand raised. As the baud played the National an­ them, .the post colors were raised and Williard E. La Rosa of Loda, Illinois, Jed the mob in three cheers for tho flag. It was a most important nnd inspiring ceremony nnd, wns particularly inter­ esting since It is believed that this is the largest single .body of mon taking tho oath since the days of the World Fielding H. Yost, the grenj eoaeh of the University of Michigan made a flying visit to tho camp. After chatting with former football stars who aro officers on- duty here, Coach Yost expressed himself as well pleased with the plans for mass ath­ letics and group games ineluded in tho aehedulo for the month. “The athletic frogram hero is much like that which expect to-establish at tho U. of M Couch Yost is a strong believer ia the doctrine of preparedness nnd de­ clared that the men hero wore not only obtaining a better tooral and physical development, but were also doing a service to their country which la the duty of every true American citizen. In bis initial address to tho officers of tho Organized Hcservo and Regular Army, who are now on duty bore, CoL Henry E. Eames, Camp Commander, C. M. T. C., stated the underlying pur­ pose of tho month’s training. "Tbo fundamental Idea,*' ho said, “must be to return tho students to their homes stronger physically, finer morally and better discipline than when they ar­ rived, You are responsible not so much to tho Government as to 3,000 mothers and 3,000 fathers, that the Cadet will leave us for his homo just a little more courteous, a little more obedient, a little more respectful of authority, floor in body ana in mind. “Let this bo a human camp, welded and amalgamated into ono largo and happy family.” Tho Adjutant's Offleo reports total enrollment to bo 2,907 students. “Every officer and enlisted man ex­ tends to you a hearty welcome to Camp Custer. "We hope and believe, that thia will not only be a profitable experience but a pleasant outing also.

Good honest, conscientious, serious-minded lads from the farms and the eities, from colleges end schools, men who have eomo here for work, not play; mon who have edmo for self-improvement, not to waste time; men who have tly defence of America at heart and who want a sufficient amount of military training to enable them to defend tho nation should an emergency eomp. “Every effort will bo mado by the Commanding General; the Commanding Officer; C.

' Searches in Colombia Chicago, Aug. 13.—-Ruins of a eity of a great size, a community center that in ita day must have compared with; tho lx>ndon, or New York or Chicago of today, has been, discovered in CoJ-, ombia by an expedition from the Field | Museum of Chicago. It ii* located in ■ a portion of Colombia that is now un­ inhabited and nlnm.t unknown to science. Ogee it must have been ono of the great centers of population, the home of immensely wealthy people of culture ntd intelligence, but now oven its name is unknown. Articles taken from the remains of great group* of villages and the carv­ ing on tho stone pavements, retaining walla, steps to the.house*, etc., indicate a high grade of workmanship. Jewelry dug out of the ruins shows tho people poMcaaed great skill in the working of gold and the setting of precious stones. The excavating work has progressed sufficiently to show that these people were expert builders. Thousands of roads extended from the main center all through the mountains. These con­ nected up with brand ntouo paved highways, er main arteries leading tn tho group of villages. All these roads are paved with flat, wuterwom rocks of uniform size- Tho smaller roads, or' bypaths' are paved with stones four feet wide, edged with upright stones. On inclines tho stones nre sot in aa steps. Tho cutting on the largo stones in the terrace of wljat must have been tho community center, show exception­ ally flno carving. The expedition has dug up some splendid examples nf pottery, especial­ ly ono set of fine black pottery, incised or carved. Spanish invaders arc known to havo taken fabulous sums from thia territory. Thu dead were adorned with gold ornamenta and costly jewels, and tho Spaniards robbed moat of the graves. Enough ia loft, however, to indicate that the extinct people must have been very wealthy. Specimens already received ut Field museum include gold bells, small ex­ quisite gold figures, and jars and other articles of shell, earnelian and agnte.

Precoat, nf Probate. WHITE LILY FLOUR touniy of Barry. AumaL A. D. Just a trial sack of FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR is all we ask you to buy, if you are not familiar with it. Thousands of its very best friends began using it in just that way. They were so well pleased with the UNIFORM QUALITY of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY that they have never found anything to take its place. To be sure many of them have tried other brands of flou. but they always come back to the old reliable FRENCH’S WHITE LILY that they KNOW and have tried out We are now almost up to the half century mark in making FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR. We lupplied tie old pioneer, of Barry County with their flour and we sire now supplying their chil­ dren and their children’s children. In thousands of homes the name of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY is a household word, endeared to them through years that have passed, and likewise prized by us. If you have trouble "bake days" don't doubt your ability as a good cook until you have given FRENCH'S WHITE LILY a good, thorough trial. Its quality is always uniform because this mill runs night and cjay, year in and year out, by water power, the best and most even power known. That is what helps to give FRENCH’S WHITE LILY its even, smooth quality, and it’s the even quality that makes "BAKING DAYS" really a pleasure instead of a dread, when FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is used. If you have never used FENCH'S WHITE LILY, why not begin NOW? One trial will convince yon of its superior quality, and that it is just the flour you have been looking for. You will use it eventtf* ally. Why delay? FRENCH’S FLOUR “MAKES GOOD COOKS.’ nullable pereoa. If The Middleville Koller Mills Middleville, Michigan R.. T.

He has served one term. Born at Irving, Barry county. He Ls a veteran of the World wdr anti the Spanish-American war. Was a mem­ ber of tho Legislature in 1917, and known as the "Bone Dry” Champion. He is a pacifist in the same sense that the United States is a pacifist nation, but will fight for the right under all circum­ stances. As a member of tho'House in 1917 he was'obliged to fight the saloon advocate and the half-way prohibition­ ists, who wanted a “Moist” law. His activities in behalf of a “Bone Dry” law made him well known throughout the slate. He was a candidate for the Senate in 1918 when he re­ ceived his call to report for military duty. He withdrew from the Senatorial r&ce and enlisted. In 1920 he had no opposition for the Senate and during the 1921 session was arrayed constantly against private interest measures. Introduced the Indome Tax Resolution in the Senate, the McArthur’s Mother’s Pension Bill, resolution for revision of taxation system; bill to repeal bounty law on noxious birds and animals (requested by Clinton County super­ visors), and eight other bills, including several in the in­ terest of soldiers. He voted and fought* against every effort to raise salaries, every new appropriation and every increase of appropriation over the 1919 appropria­ tion. “He fights for what he believes to be right.” —Charlotte Tribune, 11-1-16.

Congress "has passed more constructive fanner legislation at this session than any other Congress in history* The 1921 Michigan legis­ lature did likewise in Michigan. . WHY? Because 1,500,000 Farm Bureau members backed the powerful “Farm Bloc" at Washington. Because the Michigan State Farm Bureau's legislative department got results at Lansing for 97;000 Farm Bureau Aiembers. These two co-operatipg bodies of organized fanners so strongly protested the Sales Tax that Congress was forced to abandon it The Sales Tax would have rested more heavily upon the fanner than any . other class, and would have added greatly to their present tax burdens.

OUR NEW HOME The Accompanying picture showi the Home Office Building of the National Loan and Investment Co., located in the heart of the financial district of Detroit, at 1248>12|0 Griswold Street, . Of the well established and conservative financial institutions of Michigan, perhaps none is better known to the investing public than this Company. The National Loan and Investment Cd. has attained a distinction rather unique in the history of finance in the State in that it has never in the thirty-three years in which it haa been doing busi­ ness, asked a single day’s notice for withdrawals from any Investor. Organized in 1889 by a group nf the best known financiers of the city in their day, among which were Francis F. Palms, Capitalist, Pres­ ident, James Battle, Chief of(Detrolt Fire Department, Vice-President, Thomas N. Fordyce, Real Estate, 1st-Vice-Preaid ent, George JJ. Paine, Attorney, Secretary, Silas B. Coleman, former caahler of the People’s Savings Bank, Treasurer. These men felt that the interest paid by the financial institutions was hardly enough to induce thrift, and in order to make thrift more attractive, the Company was organized on a mu­ tual co-operative basis. Sinoe the time of organization the Company has aided by mortgage loans in financing the building and owning of more than 18,500 homes. Which In itself would make a fair sized city. .

Will You Be One of the High Salaried Executives of Tomorrow ?, P. J. ABGUB41GHT Presidaat and Businas* ’ Manager Michigan’* Leading Buineu Training School for Forty Year* THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE TRAINS THOROUGHLY FOB BUS­ INESS AND OBTAINS EMPLOYMENT FOB ALL GRADUATE^. THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL Every office is divided into two group»-r-those who direct the busi­ ness—the sales and the accounting—and those who carry out these directions. Those who direct are the high salaried department heads and managers. Those who carry out the directions are assistant execu­ tives—stenographers, secretaries, accountants, bookkeepers, confiden­ tial assistants. As changes take place or as the business expands, these assistant executives inherit or grow into higher executive and ad­ ministrative positions. This is the history of practically every big organization. The ex­ ecutives of today are the assistant executives of yesterday—the stenog­ raphers, bookkeepers, etc. And the executives of today are the own­ ers of tomorrow. ' Michigan Business and Normal College'Sec­ retarial Science Training Course Will Fit You For An Executive tive of today has imperative need of a secretary with a practical, ad­ vanced training of full collegiate grade along the lines of Secretarial Science. Business executives who are paid from $5,000.00 a-year up cannot afford to waste hours of valuable time instructing employee* in the thousand-and-one details which tne modern secretary is expected to know. The New School of Secretarial Science in connection with the Mich­ igan Business and Normal College offers young men and young women who are not satisfied to remain in subordinate positions a professional Secretarial Training of full collegiate grade which prepares them for responsible, confidential positions directly at the elbows of executive heads who have the power to promote them to positions of responsibility and trust as they demonstrate their qualifications. It is also true that today as never before in history, business execu­ tives, bankers, scientists, architects, government officials, and all classes of professional men are glad to pay excellent salaries for competent secretaries who can relieve them of detail and be of real assistance to them in their work. » ’ MR. C. A. BALCOMB has entire charge of the Secretarial Science Course of the Michigan Business and Normal College. Mr. Balcomb is a man of superior metal attainments, a manpf broad, general education, and a breadth of experience that is notusually found in any one individual. Mr. Balcomb is an expert shorthand writer and reporter and is recognized as being one of the most efficient and capable instructors in America today. In bringing Mr. Balcomb to Battle Creek, -w? feel that we are-offerlhg^n-opportunity to the young.ptople of thisvlcinity to.obtain a training along the Stenographic andL Advanced Secretarial Science lines not to be found elsewhere. The School of Accounting and Burtneaa Ad­ ministration. It is a recognized fact today that secretarial work is just as much a profession as law, medicine, engineering or teaching, and requires special training. ' A few years ago, an average Stenographic Training, and especially if backed by a few months’ Business and Bookkeeping foundation work, was considered sufficient for secretarial duties, but with the growth of big business and the consequent new and varied demands, the execu- BocreUrtM Science, and tha Oowmerclal Normal Training School an courses of full collegiate How Michigan Business and Normal College Training Started Two Young Men on the High Road to Executive Chairs—One a Farm Boy, One a Lathe Operator ASSISTANT purchasing agent with D O- WALTON was a_lathe operaa groat, new motor eompany. ,,,or.ln a big£«* Tha School of Butinas* and Bookkeeping.

In One Day Only, We Received Five Calls for Our Graduate*—Aa Yet We Have Not Been Able to Fill Them—The Two Below are Samples of the 758 Calls Received Since Sept. 1, 1921 A big Detroit Financier—a man who reckons his net assets by the millions— telephoned August 17, 1922, to ask us to recommend a young man for a position in his office. The young man to take this place must be a reasonably good 8tenop*apher, a thoroughly competent accountant, and possessed of sufficient per­ sonality, initiative, and judgment to meet callers and care for their needs. A young man who is a graduate from our School of Accounting and Buaineas Administration in connection with the Secretarial Science Course would have no difficulty in rendering the services desired. The salary will be from $150.00 to $200.00 a month to start, and the opportunity ahead of the young man who secures . this position will be exceptionally good. We have supplied this man with help fer more than fifteen years. He said in hia conversation: “I have implicit confidence in your recommendation. You have never failed me yet.”'< A local manufacturing industry telephoned . the same morning, August 17,1922, to ask if we could put them in touch with a young woman who has graduated from our full Secretarial Course to take an excellent position aa Personal Secretary and Assistant to one of the Chief Ex­ ecutive*. Experience Is not a necessary qual­ ification, providing the applicant can do the work required. The salary will range from 1100.00 to 9160.00 a month to begin.

It will be more than worth your while to see this hat win-' dow and it will probably cause you to consider hate from Baron Scotford’s angle — as something to “better your appearance.” You cannot buy a new hat^on Labor Day and you will want to say “Good-bye"' to the old straw.

FARMERS’ FREIGHT RATES are FALLING Freight rates were lowered ten per cent on ■ farm products six months before they were low­ ered on other commodities. Farmers got this reduction because of a ten months’ fight made by the American Farm Bureau Federation, representing 1,500,000 organized farmers. Farm Bureau leaders appeared before the executives of the great railroads and the Inter­ state Commerce Commission, demanding a ten per cent rate cut on farm products. They got a temporary reduction, effective Jan. 1, 1922. July 1 the Comnwaeion made the reduction per­ manent and general. This Farm Bureau victory saved fanners $1 out of every $10 freight paid on carlot shipments of-farm prod­ ucts after Jan. 1, 1922. Since July 1 it applies on all freight bills. The Farm Bureau ia now urging sharp econ­ omies in railroad operation, such savings to be given the public at once in lower rates until the 40 per cent advance of August, 1920, is wiped out. Thia program needs your support. Fights to Lower Michigan Rates This spring the State Farm Bureau fought Michigan railroads for a general reduction in farm freight rates. In the Michigan Rate Case it also asked scrapping of Michigan’s burden­ some zoning system, a step-ladder system of rates that is costly to Michigan farmers. Farm Bureau testimony from 50 counties proved farmers must have relief. The Bureau's first victory was a rail­ road concession to cut all class rates cr Peninsula point*. The main case is before the Public Utilities and Interstate Commerce Commissions, with favorable prospects for a farmer victory. Fann Bureau Saved Their Railroads The State Farm Bureau recently prevented abandonment of the Big Rapids-Whitb Cloud railroad for- Mecosta and Newaygo county members. The Bureau’s traffic 'attorney won the case at Washington. The Barry County Farm Bureau helped Barry shippers save the railroad at Freeport. Michigan Farm Bureau members have State and National organizations capable of dealing with railroads and capable of representing them, before the Interstate Commerce Commis­ sion. That is why they can get needed rate re­ ductions and save their railroadzs. Their mem­ bership dues provide such sen-ice. Your State and National Farm Bu­ reaus have given you important traf­ fic service>.£yhry wagon load of coal you buy, every piece of machinery, all your supplies—every bushel of grain, everything you sell shares in the Farm Bureau’s 10 per cent rate reduction. Farm Bureau co-operation prbtects farmers’ interests. Individually you are weak. Organ­ ized you are strong and can get results. You should belong to the Farm Bureau and a Farm Bureau Co-operative Association to reap the full benefit of their legislative, transportation and marketing services.

In tho cveningji meeting waa hold in tho Court House at Hastings dis cussing tho fruit problems in general. Many people in this eounty have roeently become very much Interested in tho raising of fruit. Therefore, it was deemed advisable to organizo a Horti­ cultural Society for Barry county iu order to know just who wore in this line of agricultural work. -T. A. Farrand discussed tho matter of an organi­ zation, and it was decided to havo a Barry County Horticultural Society. R. B. Walker, Irving township waa elected President and Jas. R. Matthews, Has­ tings township, was elected secretary. The principal reason for forming this organization is tho opportunity to dis­ tribute information pertaining to fruit culture to thoso interested. This organi­ zation when completed will be an or­ ganization of men who aro definitely interested in this lino of agriculture. At present thoro is no foo attached. Tho ncccsaaiy growth and future do velopmont will determine its policy. FIRST ANNUAL HOME-COMING PICNIC OF WOODLAND TOWN­ SHIP SPLENDID SUCCESS The first annual homo-coming and picnic of Woodland held et Baddlnbag lake Thuroday, Aug. 24th, proved a success in more than ono way. It brought the first rain they havo had in Woodland township for several wtaka, and they decided to havo tho event take place earlier next year. Another evidence of tho success of tho meeting wa# the splendid eo-oporativo spirit manifested. All tho store# of ths vil­ lage worn dosed and tho merchant# and thoir families blended their efforts with ths fanner# for a gala good time. The large number of people present was etill another proof. At the noon hour a wonderful pienie dinner wa# enjoyed by these people, lee eream and lemonade were furnished by the Farm Bureau. Immediately following this all wore very mueh in­ terested in thn games and sports, sueh aa quoit pitching, tug-of-war, potato raeea, ete.

There are many reasons for the high quality of Firestone tires but chief among the special manufacturing proc­ esses are double gum-dipping,' thus eliminating internal friction by insulat­ ing each cord strand, and air-bag curs, insuring a well-balanced and perfectly shaped product. _ The high average performance of Firestooe Cords is without equal in the annals <jf tire making and is reflected by the general tendency to specify Firestone for hard service.

ALFALFA ACREAGE INCREASES 275,000 Millions of Dollars Added to State Land Value and Farm Income, Prediction A remarkable increase in alfalfa acreage in Michigan i» announced by Prof. J. F.

The extension educational C. is believed to be restionsiblc. The rignificanrc of this increase may lie realized when it is considered that farmer* estimate the value of land to lie raised 20 to 40 per cent by the suc­ cessful growing of alfalfa. On thi* basis tho addition of 250,000 acres to Michigan’s alfalfa acreage will in­ crease tho value of land in the state by >2,500,000. Prof, t’ox points out also that nn«)xtra ton of hay per non­ above other hay crop, worth from $10 to $15, whieh can lie expected from .vlfalfn, will ndd from $2,500,000 to $3,500,000 to the annual farm income. “The dividend* from alfalfa orc cumulative," rays Prof. Cox. “lienee further returns in the wny of moro livestock, more economical feeding, nnd increnw-d crop yields per acre following alfalfa may be expected.

The summer demand for gasoline is about double the lowest demand of the winter. If July and August consumption shows an increase propor­ tionate to the June demand (as appears probable) stocks may be expected to decline rapidly. However, because of its unrivaled facilities, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is equipped to care for the gasoline needs of its patrons through­ out the Middle Western States it serves. The refineries of this Company operate the year through in order that products will be ready when the heavy summer demand comes. At all times the Company attempts to have its field storage tanks full. To maintain an abundant supply of gasoline at all points in the territory requires the unceasing efforts of 26,000 employees, the manufacturing capacity of 6 lar£e refineries, the field storage at 3821 bulk stations, 1700 service stations, 515,000. iron barrels, and over 6600 tank wagoq and delivery trucks. The motorist who will think in terms of the un­ ceasing streams of cars on the streets about him will quickly appreciate the magnitude of the task confronting the Standard Oil Gimpany (Indiana). . This task is far more difficult of performance in the Middle West than elsewhere in the United States because the number of cars .per capita is greater and the mileage of these cars is greater. Great as this undertaking is, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has proved equal to the job. As gasohn^ consumption increases, this Company provides facilities to meet it It believes that this expansion of activity is an essential part of the service which it is expected to perform.

We do not usually think of glaciers in connection with “darkest Africa" or any other part of that continent, but according to the United Stites Geological Survey, Department of the interior, there arc small glacier* on three uf the highest 1 mountains in Equatorial Aflrn—Mount Kilimanjaro, W.891 feet high: Mount Ruwcnzori, ItyiOt) feet high; arid Mount Kenya, about 17,007 feet high. On Kebo Peak, which is a part of Mount Kilimanjaro, there is an ir.o cap COO feet thick, which tills the ravine* forming glaciers, several of which extend down to point* 10.000 f.-et above sea level nnd ono to 13,800 feet. Both Mount Ituwenzori nnd Mount Kenya am'close to tho equa­ tor, but their lowest glaciers extend down to points 12,700 nnd Il.ifiO feet, respectively, above sea level.

Don’t fall Thru His Barn Yard Till Sheriff Stopped Him About two o’clock Saturday after­ noon, an Ohio man drove up to the sheriff’s office hero in his mg touring car, in which were members of his fam­ ily also. He was about tho maddest man who ever stepped across tho thresh­ old of tho countv jail, and seemed to have rcaaon for hits excited state of mind. Ho said he was driving to Has­ tings through Johnstown on Trunk Lino 37, and at tho Sherman Zimmerman farm, a traction engino waa operating a threshing outfit, the engine being sta­ tioned well past the middle of tho high­ way. with a bolt shutting off ono side of tho road, and a lot of wood thrown into tho roadway between tho engino and the other side of tho roadway. Mr. Zimmerman had opened up a detour through hia barnyard, but in roughness this detour had tho ** Rocky Road to Dublin” faded from tho map. Tho ap­ proaches to tho dotour from either aide were said to bo dangerous. Tho sheriff’s visitor said ho had asked Zimmerman to get tho wood out of tho highway so he could drive aroujid tho engine; but tho fanner refused. Ho also said that somo of tho threshing crow let loose a t<4runt of oaths and billingsgate that would do credit to tho fish dealers of London’s wharfs,and in sueh loud tones that his family had to hear tho vile language thev used. Getting County Road Commissioner John Waters to go with him, Sheriff Burd drove to Zimmerman’s, and found conditions ns his visitor had explained them. There appeared to bo no valid reason whatever fur, thus blocking a stato trunk lino highway. In about two minutes bo told Mr. Zimmerman to pull the belt nnd let teams pass on that aide of the highway at onco; and then to get tho wood out of tho road­ way on tho other aide, and do it quick too. Tho farmer asked Mr. Waters if the sheriff had a right to give him any such orders. ”You’d better beliovo ho has,” said tho road conuuiMioncr, "aud ho isnt a bluffer cither. Unless vou want to go to jail with him. you’d bet­ ter do as ho tells you. He nas authority to tell yon; for von hava no right to obstruct a state highway in thi* man­ ner.” • • Mr. Zimmerman claimed that ho had been told by an attorney thnt ho had a right to do what ho had done; and had dono the same thing in previous years. Ho said it was impossible al­ most for him to do his threshing with­ out sotting tho engine in tho roadway. Tho sheriff and cotpinisidoncr told him that If ho had left a way for cars to drive around his engine there would have boon uo complaint; but that when he assumed to monopolize tho road ho waa doing an unwarranted net. Tho sheriff told Mr. Zimmerman ho eould finish his threshing, but must re­ port in Justice Belden's court on Tues­ tlay, to answer to tho charge df day, Of obstrutting the highway.

I was told to take a stibwav and then change to a surface car. Well, I did but after much trouble. First I went into tho wrong side of tho station and after getting that righted I found I wasn’t in tho subway at all—that that waa still farther “under”. I later underground in the business section nnd mi they havo the subway and the sabsubwnr.

It was a strangely quiet group which gathered around the statuo and read the now famous lines: “By tho rudo bridge that arched tho flood , , , Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled; Hera onto the embattled fanners stood, And fired the shot beard round the world.” On our return, we passed many of tho old farm houses which have ntndo New England famous anil our way was line! for miles with tho elm trees and the old stone feweee. la.laed they made that the business was carried on under tho Commons and not on it.

PACT THUS ~ The Latest Styles, Fabrics, and Lowest Prices New Fall Merchandise most interesting one was received this year from a prospector way up near the Hudson Bay. An Esquimaux shot n wild goose, with one of those bands on ita leg.’and gave the band to a pros jx-etor who returned it to Mr. Miner, sending it out of pure curiosity. how many of the bird*, on which he ha. put leg bands, return to him. He hn» devised a trap large enough so that ho can put baiid* on about 100 at a tlflM and ho hopes to thus put hi« label on practically all the birds that come to him each year, which arc now numbered by the thousands. Mr. Miner accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Coleman to tho pond where a few of his wild pets are passing tho sum­ mer. When they reached the pond it was empty and no sign of bird lifo a call, and inxtantly there waa a flap­ ping in the thick pine brush around tho water hole, and about 30 wild gccao eame struggling up to Mr. Miner, Im.-hum- tiny ktu-w tlmt it meant n “feed.” and they were not di-appolnted, as a gcn<-rou» helping of etirn waa Fiji doled out. The birds (mid no atten­ tion to Mr. and Mrs. Coleman, beenumthey had perfect confidence that Mr. Miner would not allow anyone to harm them. Every night these binls fly over to I.nkr Erie, about two miles distant and spend tho night on the water, but they return to Mr. Miner’s farm before daylight in the morning. Mr. Miner’s son nlw> takes grent in terest in the.«e wildabirds, and has a certain rail that the’ducks will always answer.

Furnishing at All Times a Mar­ ket For All the Milk the Farm­ ers Have to Bring Us— While many condensaries and creameries ' were forced to close up during a part of 1921, we took all the milk brought to us. It is not easy to estimate the full value to the marketing public of an institution of this sort. Since the establish­ ment of this insttution in Hastings the farmers have been receiving much more for their milk than ever before. We Furnish a Good Market For the Product of Your Cows * We have added to the equipment and efficiency of th is plant from time to time as the dairying business in­ creased and more milk has been coming to us until we are prepared to handle all the milk th jit can be sent to us. Barry county is especially well adapted to raising and keeping dairy herds at a satisfactory profit to the owners thereof. Barry county can be made one of the wealthiest counties in Michigan by developing the Dairying Indus­ try—vthe soil is just right—the water facilities are excellent—the climatic conditions are good—and with silos and improved herds, farms that are now worth $75.00 to $100.00 per acre will be worth twice that amount. We urge the farmers of Barry county to give greater attention to their dairying interests. With dairying well established, Barry county will double in valuation. The Following Circumstance Is Proof of the Value of Dairying Read the Experience of L. J. Matthews of Hastings One cow—A PURE BRED—produced 2920 pounds of 3.8 milk in one month, which brought him an income^^, in one month from the one cow, of $47.30. This is a fact—but not wonderful because other cows have done as well, but this is what can be done. Think of having a herd of 10 pure bred cows that will each do as well as Mr. Matthews’ cow! • . x The moral of this, is—^et a good sire for your herd ancbimprove your cows—it costs no more to feed a GOOD cow than a POOR one. The experiences of the farmers of other sections of Michigan prove that these facts are true. Other sections of Michigan, where dairying has been,on a rapid increase, have become wealthy and the farmers there maintain magnificent dairy herds of registered stock. . We are pleased to render any and every service we possibly can to aid in this work. It is to our mutual interest.—It will help build up your county and ours.—It will help to better your city market and ours.—Our success is built upon your success.—Your prosperity means our prosperity. , Our united efforts will place Barry county among the leaders in point of agricultural income. * The Arctic Ice Cream Company HASTINGS MICHIGAN �PAfljj nnxnonf. ’AY, HHFTEMBEJMI, ^TilffiSflPEBBBELSfii FLORIDA'S DEFfflSE hill lo Cloverdale and through Cloverdais to Wall taka, W distance ot about seven miles.

Our ' reader* will bo cspceiall/ intwo^tod tn ' whnt waa decided u to Barry county. To anprednta the conclusion* reached as to the ip23 program, it is nocessarr to consider tho situation' ot tho trunk , linos in Barry pounly at this time. Just now tho intervening gaps are being constructed between this city and Mid­ dleville and between Middleville and the Barry-Kent county line on Trunk Lino No. 3Z. That will leave a mile of cement highway through MIddloviUo to be built next year, for which th* state and county havo appropriated the necessary funds. Tho paving of Han­ over, also provided for, will havo to bo deferred until 1923. Both these de­ lays are caused by inability ot tho •Into to procure cement. Thon there will remain on No. 37 only tho rend from Btnto fltroct to the Broadway bridge nnd from tho Broadway bridge to tho city limits beyond Riverside remetory, which ought to be cemented. That will complete Trunk IJno No. 37 from tho squth county lino through this eily to tho north county line, Where it connect* with tho Kent road system. Work is qow progressing on Trunk .Lino No. 70, Hastings to Nashville, from tho Coupty Farm cast to the foot of Barryvillo hili. No work ha* been tfouo on tho Colgrovo Highway thi* year. It is already completed from this ' city eight miles to a point one-half mile west of Shults. From tho end of the present completed road mentioned, tho entire stretch to the county line remains to Im completed. From this city north nnd east to Barljcr’s Cor­ ners is now a good gravelled road. From Burbar’s Corners cast nnd north through Woodland nnd to whatever 'point it winy leave flm county aft improved road will have to be constructed. . • At tha Kalamazoo mooting, the rep­ resentatives of tho »tntp highway doliartmcnt. declared that their 1923 pro­ gram for Barry, county would bo tho completion of Trunk Lino 79 from tho foot of Barryvillo hill four mile* oast­ ward to tho village of Nnshvillo; the completion of tho short cap on Trunk > Bl i*Uri*l»» • of the Colgrovo Highway from itrprqs Lino 70 eoutk from Nashville through Mnplo Grovo and Aaeyria Center io tho Calhoun county line, Tihrco miles hnve ahjady been eonstrneted. Tho other nino or ten miles should bo Improved very soon. And in 1924, the Colgrove Highway should h® extended southwest­ ward to tho Barry-Kalamazoo county Jiao. Barry nndLEaton road authorities ought to join hands to wouro a good road from Naahvillo to Vermontville south of tho Miehigan Cent ml. 'Tho new* of what the *tato highway department 1* prepared to do in Barry county next year is vety weleome,' nnd wo are »urc the county authorities who are responaiblo for this county’s aetion will »co that tho state authorities havo tho fullest co-operation in carrying out their road program in Barry county. LET THE STATE JAKE CARE OF THE PUBLICITY That Would Relieve Candidates of Great Expense and Give the Poor Man a Chance The Grand Ledge Independent makes thn suggestion that tho mailer of thu expenditure of money by candidates for public oilico bo taken care of by tho state, that is that proper publicity be given in the newspapers at the expense of tho 'state to nil candidates whoso Gitlon* entitle them to a place on tho lo|*. }n this way tho poor nnd tho wealthy candidates would havo nn ap­ proximately equal chance to reach the ear of the publie.

Our great industrial and commer­ cial associations prove the need for organization today. We find the business man, the professional man, the merchant and the workingman co-operating with his fellows in an organization which looks out for hie interests and his business. Now comes the farmer. He has organized the FARM BUREAU. In three years he has marched from the tail-end of the column to the front Capita) and labor are strong­ ly organized by years of effort, yet few organizations have accomplish­ ed as much as the Farm Bureau has in its short/history. Witness the ‘constructive farm laws passed by Congress and. the Michigan legislature since the Farm Bureau came. The Bureau proved to the railroads that farmers must have a freight rate reduction. They got it six months ahead of any oth­ er industry. Through the Farm Bu­ reau co-operative marketing and other marketing reforms are coming in months instead of years. The Farm Bureau must have united farmer support to continue the fore-going types of work. Farm Bureau dues are lower than those of a>y other organized industry. Membership in the Barry County, Michigan and American Farm Bu­ reaus is $10 a year. Newspaper pressmen, without any property in­ vestment to protect, pay $80 a year organization dues. Organized car­ penters, machinists, railway men . and others pay about the same dues to maintain their organizations. Business men pay from $10 to $100 or more annually for their Chamber of Commerce memberships. These other organizations can not and will not assume farmers* burdens. If fanners don't protect their own interests through a strong Fann Bureau, no one else will. Farmers have here a responsibility themselves and their business. They must go ahead or fall behind. The Farm Bureau has accom­ plished wonderful results in three years in spite of the most difficult conditions. We have come through one of the worst periods in history without disaster. Consider these facts with the ser­ iousness tttey deserve. You as a Barry County farmer have a Farm Bureau organization. It is up to you to maintain it Results have been gotten. Only by organization can farmers advance and protect their interests. Next week a com­ mittee of Farm Bureau members will (call upon you and ask you to join or renew your Farm Bureau membership. It .is the best invest­ ment for farming that any farmer can make. Renew your Farm Bureau mem­ bership Sept 11-201 It’s your or­ ganization.

Vicksburg, Michigan, my home town, like thousands of other small towns, did not offer mucn in the way of opportunities. "Jobs" there were, to be sure, but they were only "jobs.” I might have gone to the big cities, but what would I have done after I got there?

This means that the already enormous demand for petroleum products will be materially increased. To meet this demand requires unremitting effort on the part of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). When you look down the street and see the curb lined with automobiles, parked so closely that you have difficulty in finding space for your car, multiply what you see by hundreds of streets in hundreds of towns all over the Middle West and you will have a faint conception of the problem confront­ ing the petroleum industry. Next consider that the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) is performing without a hitch a large part of the job of supplying this multitude of machines with fuel. This is made possible by a superb organization and by keen appreciation of human values in business. The same spirit of progressiveness which is applied to refining methods, machinery, stills, storage depots, and to distributing units is also applied to the personnel of 26 thousand men and women all interested in carrying out the Company’s policy of serv­ ing the public well.

Now did you REALLY save those few pennies? You haven’t thought about that baking you had to throw a»lay. You hadn't thought about that batch o*f Ijread that was so soggy that thp most of it had to go to the chickens, or the pigs. You haven't thought about the hard worfi you had to put in to prepare and bake that bread. You. had to throw away not only the bread but YOUR TIME as well. Don't you count your time WORTH ANYTHING? You surely ought to. It would COST MONEY to get anyone to do the work you are doing. The real fact is that the actual cost of the flour and the time you THREW AWAY on one baking, would MORE than make up the dif­ ference between the cost of the sack of poor flour you bought, and a sack of FRENCH’S WHILE LILY—the test flour your money can buy. No doubt when you threw away your baking you dismissed the sub­ ject frorri your mind with the thought that it was only another case of “bad lack.” But the real fact is, that it wa* NOT a case of bad luck— it was a case of “podr flour.” You can’t have good bakings from poorly milled flour. Where the grain has to be “RUSHED” through three or four sets of rolls in order to get a PRODUCTION that will be PROFITABLE, you cannot expect to gat a good, smooth, even QUALITY of flour. You certainly would not expect a good batch of bread from dough that had been “kneaded” only about a quarter as much as it should have been.

Exchange The Michigan State Farm Bureau has made Michigan a leader in co-operative marketing. In three years it has developed and put into successful, satisfactory operation four farmer-rtwned and controlled selling and buying services. They serve Farm Bureau members through their local co-operative associations. Twenty thousand members market grain, hay and beans through the Michigan Ele­ vator Exchange. They have quit under­ selling each other to co-operate and get what is theirs. The Exchange serves 200 local associa­ tions. It commands the highest reliable bids every day. It has no debts, pays the farmer promptly, and does an average monthly business of $354,000. - Thousands of members are profiting and others are organizing themselves into local associations to get Farm Bureau market­ ing sendees. Puts End to Winter Killing Seed The Farm Bureau seed depart­ ment handles only northern grown seed and guarantees its origin, gen­ uineness, purity and germination. It cleans every pound and sends- it out right That’s why 63,000 mem­ bers bought Farm Bureau seed this spring. The Farm Bureau has built a great co-operative market for Farm Bureau seed in Michigan and other states. Members send their seed to be cleaned and sold. It’s their seed until sold and the net return is all theirs. Farm Bureau Produce Exchange ,S The State Farm Bureau’s Produce Exchange Department established at Detroit last June sells $50,000 worth of produce monthly for 25 associations of Farm Bureau grow­ ers. It is growing and developing the Detroit demand for Michigan produce. The purchase of farm supplies concerns the entire. Farm Bureau membership. Tho Bureau maintains an efficient purchasing office at Lansing which serves members of 597 co-operative associations. Bureau Seeks Orderly Marketing The State Farm Bureau is organized on the Commodity plan for marketing farm products—Potatoes, Milk, Live-Stock, and Grain through their own special Ex­ changes. The Bureau works with existing Commodity Exchanges and helps organize others as needed. The Farm Bureau's marketing job is to Increase growers’ returns by co-operative marketing in accordance with market needs. Dumping crops ^luts the market. It means ruin. Cooperative marketing is the safe way. Farmers must market their crops as well as produce them if they would secure their just share of the returns. There is no other way out. z Membership in the Farm Bureau and your local co-op gives you the great marketing, legislative, and transportation services of the Mich­ igan State Farin Bureau.

And all be­ cause* we maintain uninterrupted service. Consider what this means to us. When coal companies advance their prices, can we say, "Your coal is too high! We won’t buy until it comes down?" Not Much When the oil man raises the price because he can get so much more for his oil by refining it for the automobile, can we tell him that we’ll stop making gas until the prices come down? „ No Again ’ And how about labor, the interest on money, and other essential fac­ tors? Can we wait until they cost less? > No These things we MUST have. To get them we MUST pay the price. Today’s fuel situation is too well known to all to enter into details.

For instance in the ruin* of the former, th* BasciUca di Banta Maria d*gli Angell and the National Museum of Rome are built. Then there are the Forum, tho Colosseum which wo visited twice—once by full Italian moonlight, Hadrian’s villa and the Cat­ acomb* to increase this malady, not to speak of th* Palstin* Hill where one see* the min* of the Palaee of Tiberius and th* House of LAvia, th* Paiare of Augustus. Villa Milla and the Htadium 1* a scholarly misdemeanor. There is also tho Capitolina HUL Dr. Allen, who helped u* to appreciate and. interpret the remkins of these ancient structures now stripped of their marble, spoke of some veryyecent addition* made to the original palae* of Augustus dating a* realm of totient history, bnt we tour­ ists step right from these long ago age* into the streets of today and see the Fascist! and Communists quarrelling. On the first and second of August was a strike of all vehicle drivers whieh in­ terfered with our program*. We asked why because most of its were too ignor­ ant to read Italian newspapers and were living sueh abnormal, strenuous live* we did not sente the- existence of gov­ ernment anyway. The trouble is, there wavering at'* *Mp in mid-ocean with a still motor. Two radical parties have been formed, th* Communists and Fosalrtl, of young men unwilling to-aeeept । enough of one another's programs to i form a block. And so the question is \ now whether Italy can enduro a* a eon­ - slitutional monarchy—tho Foscisti as strong nationalist* answer “yes,” while the Socialists nnd Communists prefer Bolshevist^ to tho existing docile gov­ ernment. In Ravenna the Socialist* had been suppressed during the last days of July, so it wa* to express sympathy and show authority that tho Communists ordered this 48 hour strike on August first and second. But as tho Corbonari .of 1848 kept alive-tho ideal* of a unified Italy, so tho Foseisii of today win prevent anarchv; they have proved thi* many time* already. For instance two years ago the So­ cialist* repeatedly threatened great events on tho first of May—their an­ nual eelobrating day. Thru tho help of there Nationalist young mon tho Prime minister waa able to assert some author­ ity and expose stored arms and plot* whieh th* anarchists' refused to explain but who complained about their proper­ ty being confiscated. Last week I saw a street ear stopped, the trolley lowered, and a flag tied on while by-stander* clapped. On tho wall* in another district however, were white­ washed th* words Lenin* la Russia, ote. During* tho day following tho •trike, soldiers, one at the head and on* at the rear, were riding on every street ear and train. Probably tho most exciting moment was when w* were returning from Tivoli after visiting tho Villa d'Este. Our bus* waa halted and forced to baek because of a riot in the street. Some of our nassengers declared they heard shots, however that may be, the papers re­ ported tho killing of ono man in that eity. And I felt I was experiencing something like tho July Revolutionists of 1830 or a Mexican holdup with so many Tivoli eitiiens flocking tho streets. Thanks for living in America where the traditional rivalry between cities and between elasre* doo* not exist. I do so enjoy St. Paul.

Union Bonds are literally first mortgages on some of the most profitable business and apartment buildings in Detroit. The days when single investors purchased first mortgage real estate bonds in blocks of $10,000, '$20,000 and $50,000, have come back; the real estate bond is again in high favor with large investors.

Burton, tho OtheY by Kenesaw M. Landis, the Famous Chicago Judge Some qf the activltiM of the Ameri­ can I-egion were breeght out nt the American Legion convention in Ann Arbor last week. One of them de­ veloped the fact that Michigan has the most efficient Welfare Department in the country. According to the h-port of Dr. F. B. Broderick, State Welfare Officer of tho legion, over 23,000 cases were handled by thia depart mem dur­ ing the past year. The American I.CCn Hospital at Camp Custer,*which i been tho salvation of » umbervof Barry county boys, will rtand a« a wonderful monument to the Legion, and oao that no other stntiv in. the Union can oven approach. Uf the 23­ 334 cases handled thia year 20,'Wl have been completed, and the award* tiro in the hands of tho veterans. Nearly 21/XX) veterans have been Interviewed over twice the number of any previous year. Awards secured for disabled vet­ erans in tho state amounted to $2,593,­ 200. The. total operating expense of tho department was $79,231.02, or a east of only $3.39 for each caso handled. The Welfare Department is now working on a project to establish an Orphans' Homo for tho sons and*daughters of veterans of the World war. This pro­ ject, sponsored by Post Commander Paul A. Martin, of Battle Creek, who delivered the Decoration day address in this eity, will bo tho first of its kind in tho United States. The address of President M. L. Buri ton of’the University of Michigan, from which we have taken extracts, was greeted with tremendous applause and at its conclusion he was given a great ovation.

There were twenty-nine present, which included tho families of the six Gaskill children. The occasion- was prompted by tho opportunity which was given Ernest E.

' A Word About Federal Men It has lr,«ig been in our minds to speak thus directly to you about Federal men, our representatives who call upon you from time to time. They are selected men, chosen with a thought first to character and second to dales ability. • As you will realize we cannot afford to have an institution like the Federal Bond & Mortgage Company mis-represented. So we choose our men with care from those who come to us for a connection. Few are worthy but these few highly so. Such men naturally earn good incomes but they do not make the money their ability would command if they devoted themselves with the same Earnestness to the marketing of Insecure, securities, speculative stocks, and fraudulent enterprises that lure you with promises of big dividends. . , We repeat this—we cannot pay these men what they could get from promoters of get-rich-quick companies. The margin of profit in a business such as ours Is far too narrow to compete with these wild-cat concerns who can afford to give sales­ men a rich slice of what they take’from you because they know they’ll never pay you back. So these men of ours have deliberately chosen to represent a sound, honest house at a consequent loss to themselves in annual income. And we ask you to think of them in this light when they come to you. They are men of solid character and sincere purpose. They are selling Federal Bonds with all their energy because they believe with heart and soul that Federal Bonds are Better Bonds. They put their own savings Into Federal Bonds. Their fathers, their . mothers, their relatives, purchase Federal Bonds. They believe that they are doing more than selling bonds. They believe they are doing a social service in inducing people to put their funds into securities of the high calibre and faultless quality of 7% Federal Bonds. Again we say, these men who represent Federal are men of char­ acter. They deserve your courteous consideration; first, for them* selves; second, because they are the representatives of Michigan’s greatest real estate bond house; and third, because they offer you the bonds the world knows are Better Bonds.

That the sixh of the eora crop thi* fall, with it* resultant effect upon tho price uf corn, will bear directly upon the profit to be gained from hog raising in Michigan during the coming season, is tho statement made by Prof. Geo. A. Brown, head of the animal husbandry department' at the Michigan AgrieulCollege. A big crop, »urh n* ha* been indicated by early reports, would mean n relative­ ly low price fur corn m compared with |H»rk, and bog* would undoubtedly con­ tinue. to furnish a profitable market for farm grain*/*On the other hand, n light crop uf corn, caused by carljr frost*, would result in a relatively high price for coni, and‘would necessitate more careful fuelling. •‘The number of sow* bred thi* fall should be largely gauged by tbo erop* at.breeding time. If, during November and December of thi* year, hogs are telling for a much greater _priee per hundred weight than the cost of ten bushel* of edrn, a large numbar of sow* will be bred. On thi other hand, If tho price of hng. i» much lower per hundred weight than ths value -of ten buabcl* of corn, fewer cow* will ta bred, result Famines In History.

' BURVEY SHOWS PROFIT IN POULTRY FLOCKB. East Lansing, Sent 11.—An average return of two hundred dollars above feed and other direct costs is reported for 39 Michigan farm poultry flocks installed in n survey recently com­ plot cd by the farm management depart­ ment of the Michigan Agricultural Col lege, an indication that poultry are often ono of the farmer's most profit­ able -enterprises. "These were average-Michigan farm floeks,” says H. M. Eliot, head of the avorafc return per hsn 11.70. Thirteen of the flocks show returns below 11.50 per hen, seven above 12.25 per hen, and nineteen between these figures.” A striking feature of poultry man­ agement brought out by the survey was tho beneficial effect of protein feeds upon both egg production .and .

FACTS The Basic Foundation of Good Flour Lies In Good Wheat and SCIENTIFIC THOROUGH MILLING Almost a half century of Successful Milling Experience has put us in touch with the sources where the best win­ ter wheat can be obtained, and we pay a premium for full weight, tested wheat, for we know its importance in the making of the BEST FLOUR— ’ ' * WHITE LILY That kind of wheat is subjected in our own big mill to the BEST processing known to the art of milling under the most FAVORABLE CONDITIONS possible—Steady water power and"night and day operation the year round. This assures the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE, for it doubles our output, and we own our own plant and water power. FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR reduces living expenses, and is the most ECONOMICAL for the house­ wife, because of the best quality of wheat and the best processing known to the flouring business. When you buy FRENCH S WHITE LILY FLOUR you not only get all the flour goodness of the best Michigan winter wheat, but you get such ^n even, perfect granulation as will enable the housewife to get more loaves of bread and better bread.from a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR than from any other flour. And it will also-hold moisture better. If you are not now using it, we invite you to ipake the test. If you are, you know all we have said is so. There is more of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR used in Barry county than of all other flours combined. FRENCH’S FLOUR “MAKES GOOD COOKS. The Middleville Koller Mills R_. T. French <5 Sons, Props.

Those who kept records claimed that this deeper plowing resulted in an increased yield per acre of 25%. A Power —petroleum power—is revolutionizing agriculture. Henry Ford says: “In the tractor, truck, automobile, and atationary gas.engine— we have facilities that 'make farming enjoyable, profitable and worth while. Of all modern machines the tractor is one of the greatest bless­ ings that has been devised for mankind. Fields cultivated by tractor-drawn plows produce more than fields turned by bone-drawn ones. Tracton make deeper plowing and sub-soiling possible. This, in turn, enables the ground to renew itself instead of gradually wearing out.” * Pontiac, where ho pleaded guilty. Prosecuting Attorney A. Floyd Blakeslee of Oakland county took oc­ casion to write to Col. IL fl. Vandercook of tbo Department of Public Safety commending the energy of the department In locating and bringing back this fugitive. USED IN MORE THAN No fact more conclusively proves the superiority of the Grand Prize Eureka than that it is being used today in over 500,000 homes throughout the world. On two continents, the Eureka is prized because of its unequalled suction which completely removes the most deeply embedded dust from'' rugs and carpets. A complete set of SIMPLE ATTACHMENTS' makes it ° possible to clean without delay and and bother, portiere, upholstered furni­ ture, mattresses, radiators, etc. No other cleaner has attachments which are so easy to connect and so easy to use.

Transatlantic signal* daring the day are invariably dour, but those received at sunrlsa and sunset are said to be barely dis­ tinguishable. 4 The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) appreci­ ates the value of the tractor on the farm, and realizing that the use of the tractor ia now in its infancy, is preparing to meet the resulting demand for gasoline; for highly specialized lubricants and other petroleum products needful to successful power-farming. When the power-farmer needs petroleum products his need is urgent and the enure com­ munity ia interested in seeing that these needs' are supplied promptly. • One of the most vital services rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is that of assur­ ing the farmer at all times a constant, dependable supply of high quality petroleum products. Thia Company ia able to^uarantee such a supply because of its .modem, constantly expanding manufacturing and distributing facilities, its efficient organization and its knowledge of markets ana economic conditions.. These are conditions under which great expan­ sion, coupled with high centralization are indis­ pensable to the performance of a service essential alike to the fanner and the general public.

Edmonds PROPRIETOR OF BARRY COUNTY’S BIG ELEVATOR Phone 2118 g FABRICS --OF — A competent Chiropractor la first of all honest, and no honest person will practice that in which ho does not believe. There are throe things fundamental to Chiropractic; Pint, that there is an intelligent power within that co-ordinates the physical, mental and spiritual functions: second, that this power uses the brain and nerve system to co-ordinate the physical functions, by means of mental Impulses which it sends over the nerves? and third, that dis ease is caused by a pressure on, o: a pinching of the nerves at the point where they leave the spine, by a misaligned vertebra, thereby interrupting the flow of mental im­ pulses to an organ or part of the body. If this be true it can bo demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of any reasonable mind. Chiroprac­ tors havo studied and demonstrated the truth of these fundamental facts, and having proved them no HONEST Chiropractor will do anything that will leave * .doubt in tho patient's mind as to the absolute Aruth of these basic principles of tho science. ', A competent Chiropractor is trained to nnd the misaligned vertebrae Impinging fhe nerves leading to tho dis eased organ, part, or tissue and proceeds with his analysis of the spine as though he knew his business. One can al/rays toll a mechanic from a bungler. . A competent Chiropractor adjusts the vertebrae CAUSING THE THUUBLB, and doesn't boat and pound the patient's spine from one end to the other in a BLIND effort to get the causative subluxation. One who knows Ills business is always positive and definite. Do not trust your health to one who doesn't know his business, A competent Chiropractor is tbo graduate of a reputable resident school, for no person of character is satisfied with a second or worse raw education when^dealing with human health and life, and as an evi­ dence of hla qualification you will And a diploma from such a school hanging in his reception room. A competent Chiropractor uses nothing but his bands and does nothing but adjust the misaligned ver­ tebrae. One who does not adjust the vertebrae is not a Chiropractor, and one who does more than adjust the vertebrae demonstrates thereby that he does not know the cause of disease. He is more intent ou getting your money than in rendering you a service and thereby discredits the entire profession. Chiroprac­ tic stands or falls upon the proposition that dls-aase is caused by misaligned vertebrae impinging the nerves and stopping tho flow of nerve force to a part of the body. There is but one profession in the world qualified to adjust your spine and that is the Chiropractic profession. Theta are others qualified to give you anything else you may need or want, but the properly trained Chiropractor Is a spine specialist and nothing more. He is not dispensing health on the depart­ ment store plan, and will direct you to another profession If he cannot handle your case rather than at­ tempt to do something be u not trained, to do. No human being lives long enough or has brains enough to learn to do all the things which may be done for the sick, so tho Chiropractor learns to do but one thing and learns that one thing well. A_ competent chiropractor has a high order of skill and efficiency to place at your service, and his value must be judged entirely from the .standpoint of results obtained, and not from tho standpoint of the efforts ■ bo mokes or the lime he spends. ' . A competent Chiropractor knows that hla profession bases 'its claim to recognition as a NEW profes­ sion upon a NEW discovery °f tremendous value to the world, and devotes himself to demonstrating the correctn8M of U»e basic principles of his science. He proves his right te the title CHIBOPBAOTOB by adhering only to the prifaciples of Chiropractic. , ProspocWvo patients will do a service to themselves and to the public by selecting only such Chiro­ practors as show in their private and professional capacity the common honor and ability demanded of all profesiional men. • If you use tho tamo common sense in selecting a Chiropractor that you uso in selecting any other person for any other purpose you will not go far wrong. - SHIPMENT Now Is the Time to Buy „ Your Winter Supply Consists Entirely of Adjusting the • a CORDS The Misses Mildred Garrett and Par­ nell Woodmansee will begin their sec­ ond year at school in Battlo Creek, soon.

However there is no basis whatever for ascribing polities as the motive for the movement to disbar Mr. Bancroft. A considerable time before his death, the late Thomas Sullivan had secured affidavit* from Barry county people, whieh affidavits are included in tho charge* filed against My. Bancroft, alleging .unprofessional conduct on hi* part. This was dona several months ago. The originals of these affidavits are'in Mr. Sullivan's own handwriting and will be a part of the testimony in this ease. We mention thia to show that polities did not enter into it. Furthermore wo ar* sure that those who know Judge Smith would not ac­ cuse him or other members of the Bar­ ry County Bar association of ordering disbarment proceedings commenced for political reasons, or for any other rea­ son than as a matter of justice aeeording to their judgment. The BANNER will not comment upon the charges that have been made against Attorney Ban­ etoft, since they are to to tried in the courts. Ttose eharges arc now a nub­ ile record iff the 'county clerk's office. There are sixteen counties in Michi­ gan from whieh patients pre sent to Kalamazoo State Hospital.

As our readers understand, tho sending of patients to this hospital is dona by the order of the probate court, after medi­ cal examination has determined that such perrons need the care that ia there given. Recently Dr. Ostrander, suncrlntcndent of the Kalamazoo State hospital, invjtcd the probate judge and the chairman of tho board of aupervisore of each of the 16 counties to como to Kalamazoo on n certain.day for dinner with him.

Dr. Ostrander explained that in the smaller counties, like Eaton and Barry, there would not be enough of this work to keep a special worker constant­ ly employed In cither county and suggc.-ited that tho two counties could unito In tho employing of a social worker to care for these convalescing cases, sharing the expense in the proportion of tho work required in each county. -While that would cost each county some money, It would not cost any­ where near us much as it would either county to pay its share of the cost of new buildings that would otherwise bo required at Kalamazoo, and the added workers who would have to be hired nt Kalamazoo. Tho taxpayers, of either county would save expense and taxes to themselves by relieving tho Kalama­ zoo hospital of the necessity for new buildings. This suggestion of Dr. Ostrander seems to us ns worthy of careful con­ sideration and favorable action by the supervisors of this county and all the nt hers at the October session, and that Barry and Eaton can well afford to det together in the manner indicated. Wo bdievo it will cost fur less than cither county’s proportion of taxes for increased buildings wUh tho increased cost of maintaining them nnjj tho in­ crease of employed workers there if tho counties fail to co operate in .the way which Dr. Ostrander has pointed out. ' Probate Judge Eggleston and Chair­ man Smelkcr of the Barry county board of supervisors, attended the gathering convened at Dr. Ostrander's Invitation and were impressed with the urgent need of co-operating with him in thia matter.

Expert Pointing to the faet that some apple growers in Michigan are making profits of *160 an aero in spite of a poor mar­ ket, Prof. VJL Gardner of tho horti­ cultural department at Michigan Agri­ cultural College lays stram upon tho value of eorreet' cultural methods /or orehardixts and declares that "wallgrown, perfect winter apples always find a market." — ■Favorable growing conditions1 and iblo rare on tho part of orchard have caused tho state yield of to ifc unusually large, but or­ in other sections are also_se pro uanto „ __ _ _____ ­­ ducing great quantities and the result has been a slump in tho market. Prof. Gardner admits the situation is not ideal, yet he says it is bad only by comparison 'and then not so bad as it might be. He eltes tho case of one central Michigan grtfwer who recently sold his erop of standard winter apples at a figure that will leave him *L50 to |2.00 per barrel dear, over and above all producing, picking and han­ dling coots. "This Is not a large margin of prof­ it," says Prof. Gardner, "not so large n* it ahould be, but it means that this year that farm will show a balance on the right side of tho ledger. Some will any that thia grower has simply been luoky. It wo*®’1 luek. Tho fruit was sold In open competition with the prod­ uct from other orchards to an experi­ enced buyer who knows the value of apples and who doesn't pay more than they are worth. It waa simply a case of this grower having first-class fruit that had been thoroughly sprayed and well-grown. It 'was sound. It was worth the money, even aa the market la today, and the buyer know it. "Tho lesson ia dear. Well-grown, perfect winter apples always find a markef. Tho more unsettled the general market conditions are, the greater is tho relative advantage of the grower with the better grade fruit.

I turned nwny fully persuaded that I was neither thirsty i nor hungry. The great Arena which is in a wonderful state of preservation was reserved-us tho Hat object for in­ spection in Verona. I walked around the ancient Building mid perceived that tickets were being sold for ad­ mission to the inside. The guide book (the tourist's Bible)’said that tho in­ a ticket and went iii. To my great astonishment I discovered that the four I lire ($0.20) I hud parted with for tho green slip was nfit merely the pdro for seeing tho inside pf the Arena but al­ so entitled me to a M'ut at the Grand Opera to begin nt 9 o’clock. This opera wns Wagner'* Lohengrin. There was only, otic thing to do. 1 decided to stny over night* in VcFona. This Is olid of the advantages of being alone nnd not having n set program. The disadvantage will be noted presently. At the ap­ pointed hour after 12,000'citizdn* of Verona had assembled, the performance begun. A more appreciative audience is difficult to find except in Italy. Ev|ery Italian is familiar with good music am) enjoys it thoroughly. As the artist reached a hi uh note or rendered n diffi­ cult part especially well the enraptured crowd would break out "brava!braro! ” Tho audience. wn< fully us interesting to tuo n» the Grand Opera itself. The pcrfojrmnneq lasted till nearly one A. M. The real thrill came afterwards when I tried to get hotel accommodations only to find every one tilled up. There I was: a perfect stranger with no placn to sleep and hot a cent of Italian money. I had spent the Inst lire on "gelati” (a sort of iec ercam) nt tho Arena. This might be called one of tho disadvantages of traveling by one’s lonesome with no’ rigid plans or reservations. But even this has its thrills to one who is cursed with a grim sense of humor. Perhaps it should be noted io passing that all through Europe I found the hotels crammed, jammed full, but I always managed to squeeze in somewhere even if I had to visit every hotel in the place and returning to the one I liked best and-practically demanding a room. This is what I did at Verona, and “got away with It.” I am reminded a great many delayed. Tho lure of the uncertain mid adventure has something of the same fascination ns tho story or play or joke which skillfully con­ ceals the climax until tho psychological moment. And it isn't half bad for an able-bodied man with imagination. But I do not recommend it for women though I have heard of American girls traveling alone through Enrope.

And yet one cannot help comparing America and American instithtlona nail traditions with thole of Europe. The first great contrast is that of age. That explains a great deal. In Europe they aro constantly telling you how old this building, or that sculpture, or painting, or institu­ tion or tradition is. They almost apol­ ogize for showing you anything that has coma into being since the discov­ ery of Amerira. Of course the old his­ toric bfcdmsrk* have their charm and value. But they qlso influence tho peo; pie into living'in the past. America, on the other hand, ho* tho advantage of being new and young, and progres­ sive. We are extremely optimistic and energetic.

So that when you buy stock in the Grand Rapids Tire fls Rubber Corpora­ tion you take advantage of three condi­ tions that rarely unite themselves: 1. The advantage of a stock that is just entering its great income period. 2. The advantage of a low price on this stock. . 3. The advantage of investment just ai the country proceeds to the greatest period Of prosperity .in its history. Never was there a more fortunate moment for men with a little money. But—you must act now.

FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR * IS MADE FROM A SPECIAL PROCESS 0BDXB ros PUBLICATION. '•< MUhlgin. Uw FrobtU Cvart tat Counly af Bury. oltalla The truly nourishing part of flour is the gluten and phosphates. These are often lost or impaired in the process of milling, but they X are preserved in the highest efficiency in FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR, the flour the best cooks use. , • FRENCH'S WHITE LILY is made by a special process of our own from the very best of Barry County and Michigan Wheat That is what makes it so rich and enables it to yield the purest, whitest, most fragrant and most wholesome bread, cakes and pastries. We would like to have you compare FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR with any other flour made. We invite you to do this because we know how it will come out—TRIUMPHANT. Perhaps you think you are using good flour now—but ARE YOU? You can readily tell by giving FRENCH'S WHITE LILY a trial. Make a batch of bread or biscuits from FRENCH'S WHITE LILY and thep a batch from any other flour claimed to be just as good. Then let the family judge. We will abide by the decision because we are confident as to what the decision will be. The family will advise you to buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR and then they will praise your bak­ ing still more. • There is no flour made upon which there is so much work done to IMPROVE THE QUALITY as there is upon FRENCH'S WHITE LILY. We have adopted everything that is the very LATEST and BEST, and to further aid us we have all tho newest models in flour­ making machinery that the inventive genius of mankind has developed, and PROVED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. We take PRIDE in our work. Wo never let the question of EX­ PENSE stand in the way, as was proven a few years ago when wo threw out our ENTIRE EQUIPMENT of machinery and REPLACED them with NEW ONES of the VERY LATEST MODELS. We are "On the job” every minute and always studying to find HOW and WHERE we can improve. If you sure not using FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR why not give it a thorough trial? Every GROCER and ELEVATOR MAN in Barry County sells it, and it is sold with a POSITIVE GUARANTEE that it will be satisfactory to you. < FRENCH’S FLOUR “MAKES GOOD COOKS.” The Middleville Koller Mills Middleville, Michigan R-.

This means that in every truck there are 60 unused daily transportation miles, which can be used when emergency calk.

It seems that the doctor anticipate!! doing extensive business aa he had supjined himself with a largo supply of medicine.

It seems that a favorable Impression tho plaro romaiaml in the family as some years later a son virited here with tho view of practicing dentistry, but realis­ ing sooner than the father that tpa time wns premature, ho sought.* more prolific field. ' In 1841 Dr. Wm. Upjohn located in this city for the practice of hi* pro­ fession and became a fixture. As buribrisk dt first,■»he formed a partnership in tho grocery business with Marsh Giddings and in this'way managed to keep tho wolf from tha door. A* tho population increased and malaria was more effectual in grating in its work, the doctor gave his entire attention to the |>raetieo of his profession and gave a long and hetive life in if* work. The doetor oneo told me that tho flrot horse he owned here ho bought of sb Indian, jmying tha magnificent sum of M.00. After buying the pony ho put a bell on it and turned It onl in the pasture (that is tho woods). A few days after, having orrnrimi tn use it, he started out to catch it. He heard tha bull just west of tho court bouse down on the lowland near the present fair ground. As ho went along the sound of tho bell soeinod lo diminish and tho farther he disappeared entirely, and he never saw Kny or Jndian again. Until 1842 or 14 the doetor had tho entire field of the practice of medicine to himself. In 1MI the doetor was elected a Regent of the Univcrrity of Michigan, the first tifno that honor waa given to Barry county, defeating his opponent by a handsome majority. In 1852 he was elected' Register of Deeds for the county whieh position ho held for one term nnd retired from political strife. In 1802 ho was commissioned surgeon of the flth Michigan Cavalry anti re­ mained with it through ita entire per­ iod of service, making the march to Utah and return in I860. While on the return inarch, the command was halted at Ft.

He r-< urcil hL. scat, but previous to day of departure, the command was ordered to move anil believing it waa his duty to stay.with tho boys (as ho expressed it), he relinquished his scat in tho stage and rode his horse to Leavenworth, there bv making duty subservient to family tits. On hl* discharge from tho military service of tho United Blates, ho re­ turned to tho practice of hl* profeoslon in this eity, and contlnui'd In active practice up to the time of his last rickno**, and died December 8, at 80 year* of- ng« from the effect of disease and ex[Asurc contracted in the military service of his adupfi-d conufry. Hi> memory will bo cherished by mauy for his kirn I henrt and good deed* In time* of their suffering*. In 1812 to IM4 Dr. John Roberts lo­ cated in this plaro as fhn first cnmjwtitor of Dr. Upjohn. He was a graduate In medieino of Jefferson Medical Colk-gr, Philadrlphin, nnd mi far ns I can Varn was the fl rat graduate to locate In the county. It is said that he was something of a Nimrod and that ho welfare of his patio t ration of. whieh, it I tho bridge over tbe Thorn apple nt Cr^ek st root, ho wns requested to stop and see a psitirut who was quitu rick, lie replied that he eould not stop then . as ho hnd wounded a deer that had erossod tha river a‘little above, and that he would atop when ho camo baek. Aa this was early in tho day and as he did not return until ntorily night, it waa thought bo wns negligent of his patient. As for myself, I have always been disposed to take a different view family to provide for nnd you will roeollwt that in thoro days there Was not any plaee where you could stop la anti get n pirea of fresh meat when­ ever you wished. The doctor had wounded a doer and had good reasons to think that if followed at oneo hd eould overtake it and secure that for which the family stood in need. You will feedUoct that "srif-prerorvation Is I ho first taw of nature" and that "he that doe* nut provide for his own ia wome than the infitk'L’’ Tho patient •ould wait but the door would not.

"At snorter Jlme," eontinuod Dr. Upjohn, "after spending three or four days and nights in thb hungry, following a road of blared trap*, and when within about Ivo miles of homo I was met by a. man who wanted I should go to Scales Prairie. I sold i could not go, that I was fa­ tigued and had not been home for so long'(naming time)." "But you must <roJ’said tho man. I said. " I eannot.' ’ Hut you must,” sain nc, —or inc wo­ man will dis.’’ "Hum,” said tho doe­ tor, "you must tak* thia note io my wife.*' And with pencil and a little pieco of paper ha informed hla wife whepo ho had gone aud might not be expected homo before a certain time. Thn man went baek with tho message and tho doctor wont to Scales Prairie. On arriving at tbo house ho asked tho husband to give his horse some hay or grain. "I nain’t got any," said tbe man. "No hay, no grain," said the doetor. "No, no," said the man, "all tho hay there is hero is some old marsh hay on tho hog pen." "Well," said the doetor, "hitch him to thu hog pan. He may cat some.” "Tho woman would have died," said tho doctor, "without help. I saved her, and in saving hw K my only reward, a compensation t an empty stomach would be hardly likely to appreciate.'* And the doetor fared no' better than his horse in tho way of nourishment. Aud Dr. McLeiiy contiwtml that even in his time (since tho 70’a) ho has cheered himself and horse, "You will get something to cat tonight." In this way, following this kind of life until 18(57 when he re­ moved to Galesburg and a year or twrf later to KalsmHxoo, where be' resided in tho vicinity of his children whom he had seen grow to manhood and woman­ hood, and taking an honorable part in tho affifirs of life and, I think, all but one assuming tho duties of a profession oF whieh ho had been to long a laborious, useful and honorable member, dying at an advanced! age. mourned by a large circle of surviving friend*, to many of whom ho had been a source of re­ lief in time* of bodily affliction*. In 1849 Dr. 8. 8. Parkhurst com­ menced practice at Middleville, hav­ ing previously white a student, taught one or two terms of school there. The doctor pursued hla medical studies in the office <5f Dr. Beach of Battle Crock. I have not beun able to learn at what medical college ho took his degree, but know tho foej that ho was a graduate tn regular medicine. The doctor from tho first had an extensive practice as for some time he wus the only medical practitioner in a large section of the country, and it was said of him that sometime* it would be two day* after receiving a message before be could attend to it, and that many times th* only opportunity bo eonld get frfr rest wa* to go up on the hay mow after feeding his horse and get *omo sleep before he went to the house and before any one knew that ho was at home. In those days tho facilities for pro­ curing medicines were not of tbo best, and what tho physician did get were crude in comparison with the present time. Doctor Rich relates an incident of tho doctor's ability to adapt him­ self to circumstances. Being called in­ to tho Country to sea a child severely burned, ju*t before reaching thn house ho passed through a piece of tew tim­ ber !an<j, when the doetor got out and went Into tho wood* and soon returned with a bundle of moss, and when ho readied his patient ho applied the dry moss to tho burn and it proved a very effectual dressing. It was no unusual thing for tho early practitioner to have tu extemporize uinny thinp that, nt tho S-»cnt time, would not bo considered. o doctor was a siteccasful business man us well as in hi* profession, and some of Middleville's beat improve­ ments were duo to tho doctor’s good judgment. He finished his work a few years ago, leaving his family a coiupecney and his memory a household word by a large eirclo of friends. Bomewhenr about this same time (tjiore». ns a Dr. Johnston nt Miildlevillc, wko remained about a couple of years and left for a more encouraging field of labor. In the fall of 1850 Dr. Cornell located in this city, then a village. The doc­ tor wu a .practitioner of about twenty years’ experienao when he camo here, emigrating from tbo stkto of Ohio. Be ing a man of considerable push, ho at oneo succeeded to a good-ride, as tho two practitioners horn were considered a little logy by the people. As he sat a horse with a good deal of style, it was said by those who were disposed to detract from his merits, that in rid­ ing from you, yon e*p1d seo his vest button over bis shoulder. But like many another, tho doctor had a kind of meteoric run, and early in 1855 moved on westward to Iowa where he died a* few years ego well up in tho seventies. In tho early part of 1850 Dr. Jack­ son ot Weeks located in Woodland, coming from Hancock county, Ohio. Ho Is spoken of very highly by those who had the good fortune to know him inti­ mately, ns a successful physician nnd tt congenial gentleman of good morals. Tho doetor continued in active practice foH iwr ■ Jn. 1852 Joseph Adolphus came to Woodland, but from what country no ono appears to have ascertained. He was considered a good skiiotar and well rtad in medicine, but very peculiar •»d (tranhy in his assoeiaHon with his fallows and not oyer tidy in his per­ sonal hsblu, which probably gave ri»e to tbo story that he would’ use the sent pf' hte* saddlebags to mix hi* medicines on and ia making pills would moisten bis flogerp itphia;Mouth.

PAY. Does Your Farm Produce All It Should ? How Much Per Acre Do Your Crops Yield ? TAese Few Facts Will Make Interesting Reading An average farm, anywhere aboat Haatinga, might in a very good neaaon produce 2 .tone of hay per acre and eHtimating at a price of $15.00 per ton will yield the owner $30.00 per acre. 80 bushels of ear com per acre Is a good yield, but suppose a farmer anywhere in Barry county received a yield of 100 bushels of ear com per acre and then sold it at the top price of 35c per bushel— he would get $35.00 per acre. Bull Another In Barry— ' - ' A fruit grower living 1*4* miles from Paw Paw this year is pick­ ing 6 tons of grapes per acre from a vineyard of 16 acres and at the market price of $62.50 per ton he will obtain $375 per acre, or a total of $6,000.00 for his yield frohi 16 acres. Another P*w Pnw Banaar— / , . • An elderly man, 2% miles/rom Paw Paw has on his farm a 5-acre piece set mostly to grapes, and along one side, growing in sod, he has a row of cherry trees. All he did this year to either grapes or cherries, was to spray and plow the grapes once. For his cherries he received two checks, one $228.00, and another of $167.00, or a ^otal of $395.00. His grapes are- yielding him about 14 tons all told, and at $62.50 will bring $875.00. Total yield from 5 acres, $1,270.00. ( Some wheat ia raised in Barry county. 20 bushels per acre ia a . good yield, but we will suppose some farmer here got 30 bushels per * acre—at the present price he\wil! receive $31.05 per acre. ,. Cherry trees are set 100 to tho acre. Taking an average yield o( 4 cases (100 lbs.) per tree at 6c per lb., the price current this year, an acre would yield $600.00. (Certain cherry orchard near Paw Paw picked 8 to 12 cases per tree, or 200 to 300 lbs. of cherries.)

Almost, It seamed, bo might recognize thte creature of young love's dream, were be to moot her upon the street. • Bert had de­ scribed her tn glowing tfrmo. He him­ self was u eattefled and conceited bachelor. Perhaps Bayes had reason aohlsved much, and was sought a* bdth friend and adviser. Now, Bert tn hte eager enthusiasm looked up at hte older friend. "Jim,’’ he suggested, “why don’t you go out to Cedars next weCk with me, and see Rhoda; you can Judge how for­ tunate I am. Of course, I haven't asked ber in so many words to be my wife, but she must know it’s coming." The man in tho desk chair nodded smilingly, “And going without the little luxuries of life In order to provide them for her," he said. "How much have you saved up against that joyous wedding day, Bert? You’ve been tireless In your service here, working until all hours of the night. I think we Will have to raise you again, you—earn your pay.” The young man's face shone. "Jim," he answered jerkily, “you ire the best friend a fellow ever had. Sometimes I wonder that a girl did not And tho big heart bidden undci your calm, and drug It forth.’ Bayes lutigbed. "Sonic , dragging," he saM cryptic­ ally. He arose and stood looking whim­ sically down on hte young, frit-nd. “Glrte never treasured up for me,” lie said slowly—"disappointing." “Yon will go out with me to »e> Rhoda on Saturday?" “All right," thu big man nodded good humoredly. “I will , go to give Rhoda toy approval, for my disnpprovnl would Hot- have the slightest weight," he said. . ' “Npt the slightest," Bert laughed back. , Rhoda was different. Bayes si­ lently admitted the fact after hte Hnd talk with her. Hhe seemed a very worth-while young person. BA-t wal fortunate. His sacrifices aud striv­ ings would not be In rain. Bayeh -tudylng Uro girl in the soft twilight reflected bitterly .upon a fate which had brought no such maiden to till path. * - Then, as weeks passed and hte visit* were repeated, sometimes |a Bcrt'l companionship, sometimes alone, as lit drove hte great car through Cedar vol■•J—It came upon Bayes that yonih and love might not be yet gone fot him, after all. . Young women frequently felt fot older men an admiration tbo younger could not inspire. Hte own achieve­ ment could nev^r be accomplished by youth. She accepted several times hte Invitation to rtde at hte side in tlx beautiful car; she listened with flat terlng attention to hte easy, interest ing conversation. She liked, she told him Ingenuously, hte distinguished ap­ pearance. Bayes knew that he had an air, what amused him was the fed that the mere opinion of a girl could glvo him such pleasure. Bert looked [tale and worn these days. Hte eager fsce lost Ils' happiness. He worked late at the office, ho was secretly plan­ ning to offer to Rhoda a ring worthy her acceptance. Ifiioda loved diamonds, he had ones heard her say. And Rhoda of lets bad been absently cool tn her greet­ ing*, unreluctant, relieved. It soetned, at hte early departure. Bert could not understand It all. Troubled, he went to hte confidential friend. Bayeo, hte eyes turned down to the point at hte cigar, considered Bert’s problem. Also, ho came to hte decision.

Veterans’ Bureau has 130,­ 7.38 ex-service men in t inining in every trade, industry, profession, and in agri­ culture. They aro completing their courses at the rate of 500 a month. Every .person completing a course of instruction is a skilled workman. If you want personnel trained in a partic­ ular vocation, write to Marshall Palmer, Employment Representative, U. 8.

It ha* more than 130,738 student* enrolled. Thia ‘‘School” is the rehabilitation division of tho United States Veterans' Bureau whieh tho Government is train­ ing these 130,738 veterans In a trade, industry, profession, business or in agri­ culture. The instruction in these vocations is furnished iu leading colleges, technical schools, commercial schools as well as in business establishments, shop* and on farms. These men aro in training in every state in the union and in every largo eity in the country. In all the large kidustrial centers these men who have received thi* intensive training from the Government are available for positions. Every vocation is repre­ sented and any employer who needs additional personnel will bo furnished such personnel from his vicinity in short time by notifying tho Veteran*'Bureau. Not only i« thi* personnel trained in the beat school* available but they have also received practical instruction on the Job in industrial establishments and in shop*. a ■ These men are not permitted to ter­ minate their training until the Bureau is assured that they aro skilled work­ men nnd capable of carrying on in tho vocation for whieh they are trained, and meet the requirements of the com­ mercial, industrial and agricultural world. The. courses of Instruction vary in length from one year to four years while tho average length of a course ia two years. \ The publie has the impression that tho majority of men who arc receiving vocational training suffer from amputstions. This impression is erroneous as statistics comtuled by the • Veterans’ Bureau show that less than two per eent of the men in training suffer from am­ putations. The other 98 per cent have disabilities such as sharpnel and gun­ shot wounds and Other disabilities with whieh the civilian population ia subject to sueh aa heart trouble, branchial dis­ eases and minor disabilities. These men, however, are not permitted to se­ lect courses of training in whieh their disabilities will be a handicap or inter­ fere in any way. Those person* who have tuberculosis nre not permitted to lake up vocational training until the tuberculosis ia arrested or inactive. Tho disabilities of the majority of the vocational students aro not noticeable and in no way prevent them from sueccasfully carrying on and competing with tho civilian workers on an equal basis.

Here Are the Euential Fact# Corduroy Cords are the ideal tires con­ trived by a group of men long associated with the country’s greatest tire com­ panies. They saw a vast market waiting for a tire that was demonstrably a far step beyond present tires. So they formed the Grand Rapids Tire St Rubber Corporation. Their money, their faith, their energy, and-their ability have gone into the cre­ ating of a huge tire enterprise with an ultimate international sale. Now they open the way for you to share with them the fine results of their toil. They offer a limited portion of stock at a low price for a short period. • It is the same stock that has already risen 20%. The men behind this corporation wanted not simply another tire, but a different and far finer tire. They meant to build a tire that would immediately and undeniably establish its superiority..

Of all these bonds, the gilt-edge real estate bond, such as a Union Bond, is the only one which does not fluctuate in value. Union Bonds are not subject to market con­ ditions. They are parts of comparatively small loans, and are clpsely held. Unlike industrial, railroad, and public utility bonds, the safety of Union Bonds is not de­ pendent upon the varying state of industry, or the wisdom and honesty of business executives.

ECENTLY there has been some re­ vival of the story that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) belongs to a trust, and is operated as a part of a larger organization directed by interests other than its Board of Directors. R Such stories are absolutely and un­ qualifiedly false. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an independent corporation owned by 27,109 individual shareholders, many of them employees. No individual owns as much as 10 per cent of the capital stock. The policies of the Company are formu­ lated, and the practices directed, by a Board consisting of nine men, all actively engaged in this business, and in no other. Robert W, Stewart, Chairman W. M. Burton, President W. E. Warwick, Second Vice-President B. Parks, Third Vice-President E. G. Seubert, Fourth Vice-Pres., Sec. &Treas. Allan Jackson, Fifth Vice-President R. H. McElroy, Traffic Manager E. J. Bullock, Director of Purchases These men are striving to manage the busi­ ness of this Company so as to render the utmost of service to the people of the Mid­ dle West; to furnish steady employment to 26,000 men and women; and to render a fair return to the stockholders on the capi­ tal they have invested in the enterprise The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) neither owes, nor acknowledges, allegiance to any individual or other organization. It stands squarely on its own feet and says proudly that its trying to do a big job in a big way. Standard Oil Company r Mrs. Esther Batterice and son Lynn visited homo talk* a few day* last week.

' THE NEW PRINCIPLE on which this washer works enabled it to wash a full tub of clothes in from three to five minutes.

Sold by All Grocert Plants, Vines and Trees Bought From Us Fully Guaranteed We Recommend Fall Planting and Why Every nursery man digs his stock in the fall and either stores it in the cellar or “heels” it in the ground over win­ ter. He must do this in order to mpke prompt shipments to his customers. It is seldom that the stock can be shipped early enough in the spring so that it can be planted before the sap has started to flow in the tree. When the weather conditions / are such that the grower has had time to prepare the soil for his trees and plants, they have already started to grow, which means that tljey will receive a set-back when moved and planted. This does not'happen to trees that are planted in the fall. As soon as the trees and plants become dormant in the fall, (we commence shipping in October) we dig them and ship to you and they are planted while absolutely dor­ mant. The action of the snow during the winter and the freezing and thawing in the spring settles the dirt around the roots as nothing else can do. As soon as the first warm days come in the spring, (easily a month before you could plant stock shipped to you in the spring) these fall planted trees will start to grow, and there will be no set-back. Trees set in the fall will make from 25 to 50 per cent bet­ ter growth than trees set in the spring. If you intend to . plant an orchard, vineyard or.berry patch.be sure and do it this fall.

Sometime during tho period between September 20th and October 10th, the beekeeper should inspect hia colonic* to make sure that they bare plenty of food for winter and to see to it that there is no disease present. Colonies having leu than the equivalent of eight frames of well ripened honey must bo fed enough sugar simp, two and onehalf pounds of sugar to a pound of water, to make up the amount.

' ' / • 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 kn own to the art of milling for producing an even, perfect granulation. That permits every particle of the flour to be reached by the leavening in the bread—so it goes farther than other flours. Third, our mill runs night and day the year round, to that the machinery does not cool down, which insures perfect milling. Fourth, we have the steadiest power known—our own water power. > Ma fro , ' dec it fui tin XXSRWAT IMFBOVEMEXT BONDS . FOB HAU.

More of it is used in Barry county than of all other flours combined. And FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR costs nq more than most of the inferior grades; 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. yoi lln rlally In from You can buy FRENCH’S .WHITE LILY FLOUR at every grocery and elevator in Barry county.

Perhaps for a half milt or more a narrow ravine runs baek to a little lake, really said to be nothing but a big spring, end it is claimed that it big underground stream runs from that little lake etaar through to Thnruepplu take, a distance of a mile or more, and that this sink holo is nothing more than a deep pool, or depression in tho underground strcsnx In times of fresh­ ets, when (ho waters of this little lake aro muddy, it is said that af a certain spit in Thornappln taka muddy pater come, botttag up -from Ike bottom of tho lake, at a point right in line with is the earnest work by both the teach­ where this underground stream would catne suspicious about the matter, and ers and the pupils.

You can thus increase the earning power of your money by re-investing this money realized from Liberty or other bonds in Union First Mortgage Real Estate Bonds paying 7%. Take a typical example: Series A tp F, Victory Bonds, have been called for pay­ ment December 15, 1922, at par, and accrued interest. As these bonds are now selling above par, you only stand to lose money if you wait until December 15. when the government retires them. May 20, 1923, is the date pn which the •balance of the Victory issue will be retired. By putting money whichyou may have in such bonds into Union 7% Bonds, you will increase your yield from to 7%, a yearly increase of $22.50 per thpusand dollars. In addition you will be able to pocket the premium at which these bonds are selling. And still another advantage: You are getting your money into 7%, gilt-edge bonds, just before they entirely disappear and give place to bonds at lower interest. We will gladly supply information as to how most profitably to dispose of your Liberty Bonds or other sound but lowinterest-paying securities. Remember in this connection that Union Bonds are secured to double or more than double their value by some of the finest business and apartment properties in Detroit; that the Union Mortgage Com­ pany is financially -the** strongest first mortgage bond house in Michigan; and that Union Bonds are generally regarded d for the safety which they restor’s principal. afford Mr. and Mr*.

Mann, one of the moat successful farmers in the United States. “To judge the value of a tractor on the farm it must be considered in relation to its ability to do farm work at the time to give,most profitable return from the crops grown.” Mr. Mann goes on to show that farm work is subject to continual delays from adverse e weather conditions, and the one great ad­ vantage of the tractor ia in enabling the farmer to handle peak loads on time. > In one case cited, tractor power enabled the farmer to sow a good acreage of spring wheat on March 23, which early seeding Sve him a return of 44 buthels per acre’ thus ustrating the cash value of tractor power. A tractor to do its work must have petro­ leum products. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) takes great pride in the fact that its organization “ *hle to supply the needs of these tracton in 10 Middle Western states with petroleum products of superior quality. No matter how unexpectedly the farmer’s Company has ever ready at his call such gaso­ line, kerosene and lubricants as he may need. Owing to the uolation of many farmer, and farming dntncta, thia task of rapplying pe­ troleum products at dependable interval ia s big and often an exceedingly difficult one.

FRENCH’S NATION’S BUSINESS TURNING TO HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION That the business of tha Nation la turning more nnd more to highway transportation is indicated by sta­ tistics on motor-vehicle registration as of July 1, compiled by the bureau of Public Roads of the United State* Department of Agriculture.

Taking everything inta consideration this flour is bound to make superior baked goods and when you order a trial sack we are sure you will become a steady user. It is made by a miller who has superior knowledge of the manufacture of flour, backed by qn equipment that excels anything in 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 flour-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 to other flours that claim to be just as good. Do not be deceived—there are none so good as FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR—it is always even, it is always just the same—when you. bake with it one time you find it just like other times. Nearly everybody is using it. If you haven’t tried it yet, ask your grocer for a sack. FRENCH’S FLOUR "MAKES GOOD COOKS.” more handicapped by lack of good roads than the pleasure vehicle.

In most instances, wc have found these persons with but a very vague idea of what a first mortgage real estate boncj, such as a Union Bond, really is. Space limits prevent us going into the subject thoroughly here. Suffice it to say'that Union real estate bonds are noted, among experienced in­ vestors, for their absolute safety, and for paying the highest rate of return con­ sistent with such safety. We have, however, prepared a booklet, “Doubling Your Income,” which gives the facts about real estate bonds. We believe that it will be greatly to the ad­ vantage of everyone who does not thor­ oughly understand real estate bonds, to read this booklet. . It » written in interesting style, and is aptly illustrated. The coupon below will Please remember, in this connection, that money which you may now have invested in low interest bearing securities can be realized, and placed in Union 7% Bonds. We will gladly advise you in disposing of these securities to your best advantage. « It is, however, advisable that you do not delay.

The real facts are: that if that flour, made in another state, ig 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 has shown, and the wheat market proves, that winter wheat grown in Michigan is the REST 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 grow* the very beat grade of wheat and which is delivered to the mill direct w ithout any freight charges. And when it comes to making flour economically and in the beat way. we know of no mill th^t 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 w* gat a 24-Hour Output at practically an 8 or I O-hour-a-day cort. ’PtM cut* our gtmeral expense* in two. These conditions enable us to guarantee every user of FRENCH S WHI1E LILY rOUR the beat quality of flour at the same price aa they would havelo pay for an ordinary grade of flour. Why not try a sack today? Every grocer and elevator man in Barry county sell* it. FRENCH’S FLOUR “MAKES GOOD COOKS.” The Middleville Koller Mills Middleville* R, T. French <5 Sons, Props.

WEST WOODLAND. Every nrembtw of the Hcndorahott R. fi. in urgently invited to be on hand at Last Week's Letter. the 8. H» convention next Saturday. Petroleum and Independence AYS the Chicago Tribune, “The auto­ mobile has increased the ability of people to take care of themselves— America's streets and roads are filled with motor cars because—the American in his own car feels the independence of going where he pleases and when he pleases." S The effective use of automotive power de­ pends upon an adequate supply and efficient distribu tion of gasoline and other petroleum products. The users of automobiles and motor trucks of the Middle West would find themselves seriously handicapped were it-not for the practically universal distribu­ tion of gasoline and oils, Maintained bv the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This distribution system is continually growing, expanding, and penetrating new corners of the 10 states served by the Company. The number of automobile* in the United States increased 13% during the first six months of 1922 over 1921. The increase in the states served by the Staadard Oil Company (Indiana) during the past two yean waa over 36%. These figures give a fair idea of the rate of increase of distribu­ tion facilities required of this Company.- «j The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ex­ pands in proportion to the increasing needs of the people it serves. It maintains.3973 bulk stations, so located as to assure rapid distribution of gasoline and oils. The numher of these stations is promptly increased a* the need for them arises. It maintains 1605 service stations, situated with a view to the conviirtinf r of the motoring public. It maintains throughout the rural districts 7167 tank wagons, which serve the farmer at regular intervals, enabling him to keep his truck, tractor, or motor car ready for instant Use. This efficient service of petroleum products is mZntuned'at a high degree of effective­ ness under all conditions and is the domi­ nant factor in assuring the independence of the motorist of the Middle West Standard Oil Company 910 So.

It costs no more to buy a good quality of flour than it does to use an 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. Our one thought has always been to improve the quality regard­ less of cost. , By following this policy FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR ha* 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 brokenkwnels are taken out by special machines. This ia 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.

Bad faith and a breach of con­ fidence on the part of John M. Gould was the original and probably direcj cause of this trouble. The rest of my opponents seeing their opportunity, have simply fanned the fire and brought the matter to a head. The, Banner office has never lost an opportunity to strike me when possible; and Walter H. Burd, Sheriff of Barry County, has worked night and day to dig up the past and present in an untiring effort to kill me and run me out of Barry County. These, together with a few other ntliticians of this city, who have a personal ax to grind, have been and are now the cause of all my trouble. GENTLEMEN, — I HAVE BEEN FAIR WITH YOU, have not concealed anything. I do not claim to be perfect, nor have I ever told you that I was. I have made mistakes in my life and have atoned for therp.' Who hasn’t? My accusers gre all honorable men. But, we all have a past and a present life. Dig into the past of anyone of us and you would probably, find dead skeletons of by-gone deeds, which if brought to light, as mine have been, by the untjring efforts of my'friends, would stagger the most of us. Much has been said gbout the part the late Thomas Sullivan took in this matter. It was said, gentlemen, for the effect it would have upon your minds. The fact of the matter is this: That Thomas Sullivan never prepared of those affidavits: nor did he have anything to do Miss Amelia Graham of Grand Rapids vzaa sent to Mr. Sullivan, by Walter H. Burd. ’ Mr. Sulli­ van looked the matter up and dropped i|; and it became a dead file in Mr. Sullivan’s office, until it/was dug up by my accusers and used against me. It was such a great thing, that the Court dismissed the charge. Thera were twelve charges placed against ipc- Some of these charges were dismissed. One charge, I assumed tht responsibility and settled for same, long before .this case was started, to the ^ntire'satisfaction of my clients. The other four charges, which, when rightly understood, should be dismissed and I believe eventually will be. The truth of the matter is this: that no one ever lost a cent as the result of any act of mine. MY CASE HAS BEEN APPEALED. An order from the Circuit Judges staying ftll proceedings has been entere’d. My opponents have done everything possible to keep my name tiff the ballot, but it is still there, repre­ senting the people of Barry County. It is not entirely a fight between myself and the political ring of this City and County. It is a fight to figd out whether the people Of this County have a right to select and control their own officers, or whether we must be compelled to vote for a slated' ticket> which if elected, will be dominated by a certain class. The law is just if properly enforced. It is to make better men and women of us and not to persecute. It is for the rich and poor alike; and our officers must not be dominated or ruled by a special class. We want free men and women, who have a mind of their own and dare to speak it, even though they might, some of the time, be wrong. * This is the last time that J shall be able to appeal to you before election through the .columns of the news­ papers. My fight is your fight If Huffer defeat, at your hands, on November 7th, I will acceptyoiir verdict grace­ fully; but if you want a, free and independent man elected to your office, vote for. me, the Republican candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. If elected, I will qualify for the office and endeavor to serve the interests of the people of Barry County fear­ lessly, with special privileges to none. Yoifi-s truly, Calvin L Bancroft Republican Candidate for : Why was the name of my democratic opponent, who came to this community about July 26th, less than two months before the primaries, placed upon the ballot? Who placed it there? Why has he has been so active in this case?

Style—smart, be­ coming style; beautiful, durable fabrics; faultless tail­ oring; these things women rightly demand. And these things you will find to an exceptional degree in the Printz coat models we are’now display­ ing. In them fashion and fabric are charmingly com­ bined and the tailoring detail is Printz-perfect. Best of all, the price range is as attractive as the style selec­ tion. Among them are many smart variations of the coat—mannish-tailored top coats; dressier styles luxuriously fur trimmed; full swinging capes and wraps of voguish lines.

Every voter can therefore see that this is smother very import­ ant election and should exercise his privilege and perform his duty as an American citixen. At the primaries last August the following can­ didates were placed in nojnination on the Repub­ lican ticket for the vnrioiUs county offices: JOHN C. KETCHAM, Candidate for Congress. Mr. Ketchum carried the election two years ago by n very pleasing majority nnd has given a splendid account of himself during the past two years and ho has represented thia dis­ trict in a most capable and satisfactory manner. His past ex­ perience as Master of the State Grange and two years as Na­ tional Lecturer of the Grange has especially^ qualified Mr. Ketcham for the position he now holds. His ability is being ” rerognixed in Congress by his having received several import­ ant appointments and his services to this district entitle him to your support or. Election day. Sex.

He has served through two sessions of the State legisla­ ture ns lU’prescnJativc of Clinton county. During the last ses­ sion ho served us chairman uf the Commit too on State Affairs and was also a member of the Judiciary Committee. These are regarded as two of the must important of the House com­ mittees.

It is proper that Barry, an agricultural county, should bo represented by A. M. Nevins, who is a successful fanncAand who Las demonstrated his ability to successfully look after the interests of his district in the State Legislature. Ho is a member uf the Farm Bureau and favors the principlo of co-, operation among farmers. If favored with’ the election he will continue to faithfully perform his duties. HARRY S. RITCHIE, Republican Candidate for Sheriff. At tho primaries m September I was nomiitatod as the can­ didate for Sheriff on the Republican tieltH. I am thoroughly conversant with the duties of the office. If elected it will bo my aim to enforce the laws just ns 1 huyc always done—in a clean; honorable, straight for wan! manner, without fear or favor, always aiming to give everyone n “square deal,'’ rich and poor alike. It has been reported in some quarters that if I sin elected X will appoint Sheriff Burd as my Undcrsheriff. This report i .is absolutely false and without any foundation. Sheriff Burd kM announced-over his own signature that he would not ac■ eep» such an appointment under any circurnstnneba, nnd for I. that reason, if for ho other, I would not consider him for tho rodii™. The office of sheriff ir a very important ono, and I feel that my past experience crith its duties is of value to the people , and will continue to do so if elected.

CRAWFORD, Mr. flmelker ha# had the experience necessary to qualify him for this important office, having served as treasurer of Irving township two terms. Mr. Smelker appreciates the im­ portance of thia office and if favored by being elected treas­ urer of Barry county on the Republican ticket will do all in his power and ability to keep the affairs of thia office in proper " shape.

By 1871 thi* building.h*d grown to be a three-room structure. During that winter the school house burned and school wn* held temporarily in a hall on Main street.

DR.01100112 GRUTDISCD SAN FRANOIBOO PHYSICIAN STARTLES THE 8CIENTIFIO WORLD MAKES DIAGNOSIS FROM DROP OF BLOOD Bays Teata Will Rareal the Na­ ture and Location of Diaeaae Tho BANNER ia not prepared to vouch for the truth of the remarkable things that the papers have been for aome time mentioning about Dr. Abrama, the San Francisco physician, who in the euro of diaeaae proceed* on tho theory that each particle of our bodies ia made up of electrons—the ultimate or smallest subdivision of electricity. He hold* that diaeaae mcana that the electron* are “jarred” out of their normal placet, nnd that tho euro ia found by combatting the particular radio activity charaetoriatic 6f any given diaeaae by a dcflnito counter radio activity. Dr. Abram* claim* to have earried hia investigation* of the kind or char­ acteristic radio activity produced by any given diaeaae in the human body to aueh a degree that ho ean find by hi* delicate teating method*, by teata of a drop of blood from any perron, tho nature of any diaeaae from whieh that perran’may b**uffering; .and that in aueh a diaeaae aa eancer, ho con deter­ mine where it la loeated In the body by aueh test* of the blood. Laat week he met student* In the Hlectronie School of Medicine, whieh he ha* founded, in the eity of Chicago, and there atartled hi* henrer* by teMrting that, given any handwriting made by any person unknown to him, and hia testa would reveal whether tho writer waa a male or female, alro what diaeaae they had.if they suffered from any disease. It room* fnost uncanny. But tho foundation of it ia that each person, each mx, and each diroaro has a definite characteristic radio-activity, whieh he claims that hia teat* will revpal. Wc give below the press account of tho meeting in Chicago. It will give our reader* the ehuiee to *ay a* we did “What next!” and to wander if ecientifle investigation, which Dr. Abram* invites, will confirm or disprove hia amasiog eflaima. Chicago, Sept. tT.—^h. Albert Ab­ rams of Ban Franairoo, founder of the Electronic School of Uodirino, who la In Chicago attending two eaavMtions for the advancement of >ii mathods, mid today that of Utg ha baa Hao diagnosing disess* from aa individual's autograph. II makes n* difference he itated, . whether Iho writer were living or dead. Edgar Allan Poe, it ia said, eave re­ action of diphomnnia when hie signa­ ture waa subjected to electronic analy­ sis. Samuel Johnson revealed a blood disease and tuberculosis. The autograph, Dr. Abrams says, re­ veals not only the physical condition, but the sex as well. Dr. Abrams* pa­ ternity test is the least novel of bis reputed abilities. By means of his electrical devices lie claims to be able to diagnose almost without failure vir­ tually every disease. Not only will he csray a- diagnosis, but in the. ease of canecr he will make nn assertion aa to it* location nnd malignancy nil from a drop of Idood. Dr. Abrams aha has asserted that re­ ligion may bo determined from a drop of blood. The telltale drop reveal* whether nn individual I* n Catholic or Protestant, a follower of Brahma or n disciple of Confucius. Tho elqptronie theory, whieh Dr. Abrams baa worked on is baaed on the accepted fact that all life ia electronic motion. Dr. Abrams holds that all diseases aro nothing more than the electrons jarred out of- their qormal positions, “electrons gone mud.” And to euro all diseases, al) that ia neecssnry is to combat the radioactivity which each disease has by a 'precise counter radio-activity. Dr. Abrams, rn making these assertion*, offer* n complete cata­ logue of almost all known diseases with their specific radio-activity whieh ean be used to destroy that disease. On thi* theory, alro, Dr. Abrams bases the assertion thah from one’s hand writing can be discovered tho writer. “All life”, said Dr. Abrams, “is •Ifttronie ehergy. When one writes, the electronic energy is transferred in­ delibly to the paper and that electronic energy can bo diagnosed.” And then began tho most amazing part of the interview.- Going on hia assumption that all matter is electronic energy tho doctor assorted that even abstract thought wa* electrons put in motion, and thought provided physical reflexes. • Without a machine, with nothing bnt his own body, Dr. Abrams, using the writer aa a subject, accurately recorded, in a series of experiments,- tho “thought transference” of tho report­ er. Mental telepathy i« explained by Dr. Abrams on the name theory of elec­ tronic motton. And, tho doctor further assert* that these so-called supernatural phenomena, tho mysterious ectoplasm whieh i* engaging tho attention of scientist* over all the world, most like­ ly “i* condensed thought.*' Tho mysterious effect of tho mind upon tho human body which Is reeognixed by all scientist* and laymen, Dr. Abrams explain* in a similar way. “Thought* are vibratory,” ho said, “end thought* of a well being produce profound physiological effect on the human body, aiding io eura, disease.” “Di*****,” he itrarta, ‘<1* only a symptom. There is basic trouble in the human system, otherwise no disease Pbom 2217 Hastings, Michi weeds will spront. The doctor of the near future will, lie n physiolugicnl farmer who will clear the rail anil with the clearing of tjic rail, prevent the roots upon which germs fasten.”. A commission of British scientist*, it wn* learned, attracted by Dr. Abrams' theory and amazed that ap­ plication of it rcnlly produced results, will leave for San Frnneieeo for a earc­ ful investigation of the Abrams method. The commission will be headed by Mather Thompson, fellow of the Royal College of Physicinns, London. “The electronic theory, I admit, sounds grotesque,” Dr. Abrams said, “but it wonldTkavc Immeasurable sor­ row and pain if it were Used. Many reputable scientific bodies off hand decline even to investigate it, though those that do are convinced.” The Rockefeller institute, Dr. Abrams asserted, though spending huge sums in research work seeking cures for the diseases that Abram* assert* he ran cure, declined even to investigate* his method. “I am nlways ready to havo any reputable body >of scientists investi­ gate,” said Dr. Abrams. “I have been a professor of medicine, my work in medical fields ia rccognizeti, but this latest and greatest discovery is ig­ nored.

OF PUBLIC INSTRUC­ TION NOW PRINTING STUDY SYLLABUS IS SPONSORED BY STATE ASSOCIATION Realize Need for More Sys­ tematic and Effective * Program Inasmuch as the Hastings High school has adopted the plan of giving credit for accredited Bible study out­ side of school, we are rare the readers of the BANNER will be interested in the following article taken from tho Moderator-Topics of Nov. 2. This is written by J. W. Sexton, who is an authority on the subject. Tho Department of Publie Instruction is now having printed a syllabus of Bible Study upon which junior, and senior high school credit may bo given for outside Bible study. This idea is not new since a few states and many localities throughout the country have similar, plans iu operation. Many cities in Michigan havo. adopted a Bible Study Syllabus and havo developed a scheme of eo-operation between the local ehureh schools and tho High school for .studying and accrediting thia course. Tho Inquiries received by lo­ calities that havo adopted a plan would indicate that the interest- in this sub­ ject is quite general and that a syllabus should bo prepared suitable for use throughout the slate. Tho idea of a Syllabus of Bible Study for tho entire state had its origin with the Michigan State Teach­ ers' Association and the publication of this Syllabus is the result of the com­ bined efforts and co-operation of <the organization and tho Department of Public Instruction. Daring the school year 1020-21, ithe Executive'Committee of'the Michigan StalW Teachers' Association authorized tho President, Charles L. Poor, to ap­ point a committee to investigate tho advisability and desirability of estab­ lishing a plan for the state of Michigan whereby High school credit eould be given for outside Bible Study. t The $19 Extra fine all wool Coats with or without fur collars, made from all wool Bolivia, Velours, Plushes, Karacul, Serges and Kerseys.

Sczton of 1j\nsing, Dr. W. D. Henderson of Ann Arbor and Bupt. John A. Dalrymple of Fenton. After a careful study of fin- varipus plans in operation in other states and cities throughout tho country, tho committee made the following report at tho meet ing'of tho Michigan Stato Teachers' Association nt Detroit in October, 1921. First: Realizing that there is need for a more systematic and effective Cgram of Bible study than has yet n generally developed in tho State of Michigan, your committed appointed to investigate the d< riralnlity of giv­ ing High school credit for outside Bible study ia unanimously in favor of the adoption of a plan whereby credit will bo given in both junior and senior High schools for outside Bible study. Second: We recommend that a syl­ labus of Bible study l>e prepared to be furnished tb Sunday Schools, other re­ ligious organizations and* individuals, the aalisfactory completion of whieh will give credit in junior nnd senior High school. Third: We would recommend that the incoming president of the Miehi gan State Teachers ’ Association by and with tho advice and Consent of the Executive Committee be instructed to appoint a committee for tho purpose of preparing a suitable syllabus of Bible study, such committee to bo com­ posed of the following members: One member of the Departure*! of Public Instruction to be nominated by -the Superintendent of Publie"Instruction; one member from the Michigan State Toashera* Association, thia member to be a superintendent of schools; one member from the Michigan, State Bun­ day School Association to be.nominat­ ed by that association, and ono mcin-t bor from each of such other religious organizations within tho Mate* an may not be represented in tho State Sunday School Association nnd may be suffi­ ciently interested in thia project to care to nominate a rcpresentktive. In this connection it is further suggested that the president and executive com­ mittee be empowered to employ a per­ son of competent authority to assist in the preparation of fho proposed sylla- Department of Public Instruction; that tho examinations bo given the last week of each semester, under tho supcrv-sion of the school authorities in the district in which the work is given and that the papers bo graded by these Mime school authorities. In January, 1922, in accordance with the above recommendation, President A. 8. Whitney of the Michigan State Teachers' Association appointed a com­ mit tec to formulate tho details of a p'an and provide a syllabus of Bible study according to whieh junior and senior High school credit could bo given. The member* of this committee were giiperinlcndent J. W. Sexton of Imusing. Superintendent Charles L. Poor of Traverse City. Mr. J. E. Engle, Sec­ retory of tho Michigan State Sunday School AMiociatiqti nnd Miss Nells Dietrich of tho Department of Public prepared by this committee. Alm. Tho nim of this plan is to stimulate interest in religion* education by pro­ viding a method for tho securing of High school credit for Bible study in Church schools. Looking toward the realisation of thi* aim; all religious or other institu­ tions, either singly or in groups, are invited to teach the Bible with a vletv to High soNool credit a* hereinafter provided, whore local Boards of Edu­ cation so authorixe. . Organisation. Any local religious or other institu­ tion having pupils in a Michigan High school shall bo entitled, in accordance with the requirements of the plan here­ in set forth, to teach tho Bible with a view to credit in sueh High schools, with full liberty in all matter* of interpretatinn and tenets of belief. Each religious or ether institution adopting this plan shall provid? their own teachers, place of meeting, books, butiir.es of study and all other equip­ ment, in accordance with tho standards hcfeln required, and shall also deter­ mine their own time of meeting. Each High school operating under this plan shall institute and maintain a Cooperating Department of Biblical Literature and Instruction. Registra­ tion on those course* shall be on the Fourth: Wo recommend* that this syllabus be published and distributed by the Department of Public Instruc­ tion at cost to the communities, organi­ sations and individuals who desire to use the same. . Fifth: We further recommend that credit be given, not to exceed onefourth unit for any uno school year; that the questions be prepared by the study and any change, discontinuance or failure to complete the same may only be. permitted on the authority of the proper High school officials as in the ease of any other study. •• Tho Co-operating Department of each High school?shall, where desired by tho religions or other institution, render any assistance possible in Helping sueh institution to attain greater efficiency in educational standards and methods. Tho Cp-onerating Department shall provide uniform time, place, and con­ ditions under which tho Anal exami­ nations shall bo given, and some mem­ ber of said Department shall be present whenever examinations are thus sched­ uled. Ail final examination questions shall bo compiled nod the papers graded by the Co-operating Department of the High School in order to insure uni­ formity in the work. Tho Co operating Department of the High School shall thus determine the adequacy of,, tho work done in the light of the education­ al standards of sueh High school. It is further provided, however, that upon request of any candidate for High school credit accompanied by a fee of twenty-five cents the examination Ia per shall be referred for final review to the Stato Department of Public In­ ot ’•‘‘1 State Department shall The concern of the Co-opernting'Departmont of each High school and of tho State Department of Public Instruc­ tion shall be to safeguard educational standards only and in no case to inter­ fere with the interpretation of the The Michigan Plan of Bible Study to receive School credit provide^ for a six year course divided into throe parts syllabus for caeh division of the work. It is recommended that Byllabus No. 1 earried syste matically, taking each course. (Continued on Page 4.)

(To be continued) MICHIGAN'S BTRONCRST MORTGAGE BOND HOUSE Thousands Lose Their Money—Have You Safeguarded Yours? The men and women of this nation lose ap­ proximately the huge sum of $750,000,000 every year through unwise investment. These persons are, for the most part, intel- ligent, careful aijd conservative. What happens to them may happen to anyone with money. They are approached by relatives, or friends, or salesmen for various kinds of speculations. A glpwing picture of big profits is painted; they think they are putting their money in a sure thing; they take a chance, and usually lose. . The best way to safeguard your money— various promising but risky ventures—is to buy non-speculative, gilt-edge securites, ‘ such as Union Bonds—which insure cer­ tain safety. Union Bonds are, literally, first mortgages safeguarded to at least double their value by modem, income-producing business and apartment buildings. Union Bonds are actually safer than the good, qld fashioned first mortgage—and they are also more convenient. ' v Each Union Bond issue is underwritten by the Union Mortgage Company, finandally, Midiigan'sstrongestmortgagebond house, after it has been passed upon by the Union directorate, which includes many present, or former officials, of leading Michigan banks. .

Any boy can leave at any time ho । wishes. Onco in a while a l>oy take* it in his head to do that, but after ho ha* butted up against the world a* it really is, ho always re-1 turns and is welcomed back to the friendly homo Mr. Starr ha* provided for him. When a boy eome* to thia home he is kindly treated and placed upon his honor. Mr. Btarr say* to him: “I know there are no bad boy*, and you can help me prove it by mean* of your behavior.” . Next he wanted a school for his wards hut ho had no money, and waa wonder­ ing bow ho could ever get a ne# school building. In talking with one of the bright young boys ono day Mr. Starr confided to him his wishes for a new school building but said that he didn’t ace any way possible to got it. Tho boy spoke up and said: "Mr. 8tarr, you teach us to pray and to believe in prayer; why don't you pray for this! I'm going to start in tonight.” The lad couldn’t seem to forgot it and ad­ vised Mr. Starr to have the plans for a new school building made, because the money would surely be provided. Mr. Wilcox, an architect of'Grand Rap­ id*, drew up the plan*; and sure enough the money wa* forthcoming. A Mr*. White of Grand Rapid*, without Mr. Btarr’» solicitation, contributed *30,000 toward* a now school building, and in ■addition Mr*. White and Mr*. Wilcox, mother of the architect above men­ tioned, aro to build n new laundry and kitchen. Mr*. Wilcox ha* also built and furnished a eottage ami given it to the Btarr Commonwealth. Mr. Btarr ia now nlanningupon ulti­ mately caring for 200 boys. Everything is ionductod upon a charitable basis, excepliniwhcro someone is able to pay. Recently death took the wife of a certain man and left him with two boys. Hearing of the good work done for boys at tho Btarr institution, ho asked that hi* boy* bo taken into thia home and he pay for It. Whore h boy ia sent there by any county, tho county pay* for it aa it ahould. All othor caaea arc purely charitable. Properly caring for the boys, entails a big expense, which ia met br contributions ■ fro« generous haarted people, donations of food and ntonoy being received. The books and accounts of the Starr Commonwealth aro audited each moath by the cashier ot the Old National bank of Battle Creek. Some members of the Chamber of Commerce of that dty some time ago, after hearing of tho splendid work boiug dono for boy* by thi* institution, appointed a committee to visit and report upon it.

It is tho lnr?Mt rm tail hardware establishment between Grand Rapids, and Detroit, with one ex­ ception in Jackaan.

Three generation* of the Goodyear family have carried on this business, and have won an enviable reputation for cnterpriA* and square dealing. Many of our older reader* can recall H. A. Goodyear, the very soul of in­ tegrity and character, and a fine gen­ tleman and an earnest worker for the good of this city and county.

Then Took Him. to Niles and Locked Him in Empty Freight Oar John Foller, ninetem-ycar-old son of Mr. and Mr*. Charles Puller of Carlton township, had an experience last week that he does.not care (g repeat nnd one that should be a warning to other ynung people. On Wednesday of last week. John went to Kalamazoo where he hoped to secure work for tho winter. While looking for a position there, he was ac­ costed by two well dressed, middle­ aged <ucn who inquired where he lived and said, “la your name John Fuller!” He told them it waa and they then told him if he was looking for work they could help hint aa they were hiring all the men they eould got at 63 cents p»-r hour in Grand Rapids. They of­ fered to pay hi* transportation to that , city if he would go with them, so be consented. Imagine his consternation, however, when he found himself on the train with these two men headed for Nilea instead of Grand Rapid*. Upon reaching Nile*, the two men produced pistols and pointing them at John de- ‘ mnnded hi* money and other posses­ sor!*. They took 110.00 in caah, his wateh, ring, hia suitcase full of cloth­ ing and not being satisfied with that removed his shoe* and then took him to an ctlipty freight car and locked him in and left him to get out as best he could. . Tho unfortunate young man made all the noise he could to attract attention to his condition and nt last a boy heard hi* crjes and obtained hi* re- ported to tho police who looked after John until he could get into communi­ cation with his people here. Detectives reported having seen the two men in Routh Bend, Ind., that evening, but no definite new* ha* been received of their capture. In these day* when people will do most anything for a few dollars, it is John wns able to return to hi*, home Saturday morning but fa atill’ in n nervous condition a* a result of hi* fright and unhappy experience.

Just»as he started to cross the street, Roy Boyes was driving east on State street, unobserved by Mr. Dseker, and he ran in froat of Mr. Boyea' car. He was knocked to the pavement, cutting a gash iu his head and pain­ fully injuring hi* right leg. Mr. Decker waa carried into Carveth k Stebbina* drug store. Dr. Melntyre was called and found no bones broken, or no injuries of a serious nature fur­ ther than a bad shaking up.

We advise parents not to purchase cheap book* that run in a scries. Very fow of them have any value to any­ one except tho publisher, author and book seller. Often times they arc posi­ tively harmful. Even if the author is good, after the first three tho books "peter out”. Not all book* labeled "Boy Hcouts” ean be relied upon. There is an official-list of the Boy Scouts book* which may bo obtained at the library. It is a good thing for a child to own some of the best books nnd mueh betas many children do, dozens of trashy or mediocre books. Mental indigestion is sure to result. A book seem* like more or les* of a luxury to many peo­ ple, nnd parents and fnends are some­ times persuaded to buy cheap book* for children beoauac they think they cannot afford tho more expensive one*. But cheap books, like almost anything else that is eheap, are dear in tho long run. If yon .want your child to have n cheap, mediocre mind, buy him cheap, trashy books. They ars infinitely worse for him than poor food or insufli-. cicnt clothing, for hl* .body may re­ rover from the effect* of malautrition or. exposure, but his mind will never develop a* it might if ij is not proper­ ly fed when he is young. Below is a short list of worth while books for children with price* nnd publishers. Tho librarian will be glad to give advice and lists to patents and friend* who arc contemplating tho purchase of children's books for Christ­ mas or any other occasion. Some of tho books listed hero are inexpensive, but as a general rule good book* tire not cheap. Book* For Little Children. Aesop—"Fable*’’—MaeMUlan, $140., Dutton. $.80—Everyman’s Library.

If he had contemplated and then ueted immediately after the U. 8. su­ preme court hapded down its decision fully exonerating him from the charge or taint of crime in connection with his campaign for the U. 8. senate, he would have saved his party ia thia state and in the country mueh of the humil­ iating defeat it suffered November 7. The court of last resort, in an opinion written and delivered by Chief Justice White, a democrat, declared that Mr. Newberry and his backers had not committed any crime in his senatorial campaign.

After much careful investigation,he select­ ed Union' Bonds. The fact that they are underwritten by a company that is, finan­ cially, Michigan’s strongest mortgage bond house, was a point in their favor. Besides this, he was impressed with the all-around business capacity of the Union board,—its notable conservatism—and the fact that several Union directors are present, or former, officials of leading Michigan banks.

All this had a very pleasing sound to the people, and they elected Mr. • HtidlM-by ths largest majority ever given to a presidential candidate. They probably did uot think thot he was . confronting ths gravest economic Cjblems that ever faced any I’resi nt. No doubt they expected too mueh of him, and far more than any head of this nation could possibly do or give. But to giro President Hard­ ing every opportunity to make good, ths people gave him a Jargo working majority in the senate and three fourths of the membership of the house. They wanted to give the now executive and hte party every ehanec to make Last Tuesdav, after two years of President Harding, the people of this country seem to have put the stamp of their disfavor upon him and hte Srty. Why! Principally because nr felt he had too littlo of what President Wilson had (go mueh. They felt that he had not led, but had let Matters drift. N[o doubt they did not give congress credit for the volume of work it Bad done; but they did think that the administration and congress were far.too deliberate in whnt they did. For instance, it was well known that Congressman Fordnoy and Hen*tor MeCuiwber nnd their renpeetlve commit­ ters would largely prepare the tariff bill. Immediately upon hte election, they and the tariff experts should have been ret to work as they were after McKin­ ley’s -election In 1896. Then the new tariff law was in operation by the fail Of 1897. But the present eongrere. did not pas* a tariff law until just a few weeks before tho 1922 election, though Harding wa* elected In 1920. Tho country did not relish such slacking as Tho people approved of Harding’s calling tho disarmament meeting; and whether they approved or not, they appreciated that it-took real courage and manhood for him* to veto tbc soldier bonus measure. But they did not like his permitting the eoal and rail strikes to continue so long In short they felt that he haa permitted matters largely to drift rather, than having led in a solution, and insisted npoa congress getting busy at doing things rather than being so absorbed in hearing themselves talk. Without donbt a large number of democrats voted for Harding in 1920 aa a protest against Wilson, and thia year returned to their former party. But that would not account for all ths slump In the republican vote this year. Without doubt many disappointed re­ publicans voted for democrats this year as a protest against the present republican administration. Bo there you arc. Without doubt unless President Harding shall display dualities of leadership which he has not so far shown while filling the presi­ dential chair, the people will not favor him in 1924, provided tho democrats can bring out a real leader who will really lead. ' The people have the ut­ most confidence in President Harding’s integrity and consider him one of tho most lovable of men. But they want a leader now who will lead. And they will watch the President very closely from now on to see if he shows that ho appreciates what they want nnd will load them until they get it. That’s no easy job. But that sceins to be the meaning of the election thh year. It te possible that there may be a realignment of the voters. The unpre­ cedented vote for LaFollette, the elec­ tion of radicals of more or less of the laiFollctto type in Minin-iota, Iowa, North Dakota, Nebraska and California to the U. 8. senate, and the defeat, of special champions of President Hard­ ing in other senatorial contests, may mark tho beginning of radical and conservative parties, possibly under different name*. Wc ipay see Senator Borah of Idaho pushed forward a* the representative of that type of radicalism, into a lead­ ership whieh may make him n presi­ dential candidate on a platform more progressive than that of Roosevelt in 1912. At anv Tate unlesa'President Hard­ ing shall, by, vigorous and Mecessful leadership from now on, win baek the approval of the voters, the result* of November 7 election would indicate that he would probably fail of election if nominated, and that<ko may fail of even securing tho nomination in 1924. MICHIGAN COW NEARS WORLD'S RECORD MARK Holitein-Friesian Owned by Loeb Farms, Produces 36,­ 000 Pounds of Milk in Year East Lansing, Nov. 11.—Producing 35^39.5 pounds of milk in ono year, a Michigan cow has- just broken all pre­ vious state records and is said to have taken rank as the second highest pro­ ducer in the world. The now record holder te Kolraln Marion Finderne, a Holatein-Friesian owned and developed by tho Loeb Farms of Charlevoix.

She freshened at the ego of six years, ono month, and eight days, at tho be­ ginning of the test. Twelve supervisors were employed in the conduct of tho teat, 275 days of whieh were “rtrictly official,’’ with a supervisor constantly in attendance.

Delong, The first of four special ono month courses in Truck and Tractor operation Will open at the Michigan Agricul­ tural College on November S7, running until Dee. 22, according to announce­ ment made by Ashley M. Berridge, as­ sistant director of winter short course work at tho college. The truck and tractor courses whieh give practical Instruction In tho eare and operation of nil forms .of farm gasoline power, have proved increasing­ ly popular during recent years, draw­ ing large enrollment from Michigan cities as well so from the rural sections and family were Bunday visitors Nashville. -• l|| 100 [ ■ iraa M 1101 Governor Groesbeck stated in a so-called political speech, before an Allegan audience not long since, that along with many other accomplishments of the present 8t?.te administration, was the elimination of every 'board­ er cow from the many herds kept by various state institu­ tions. He said that if every farmer would replace hia 3,500 pound cows with cows that produce annually, 10,000 to 12,000 pounds of milk, the value to the state would be tre­ mendous. We would hardly expect our governor to have the time, even if he realized the importance, to pay much at­ tention to the relatively few cows owned by the state, when so many other matters of seemingly greater import­ ance demand his attention. But he realizes, as does every thinking person, ’ that the best way, and probably the only way, to meet our ever increasing taxes is by increased income. And nowhere is the tax burden greater than upon ru­ ral communities. Why should anyone, anywhere, continue to feed and milk inferior cows? Our national and state governments through their de­ partments of agriculture, our Agricultural college, our county agent, are all ready and willing to help anyone who wants to be helped. High producing, pure-bred stock is easily and reason­ ably obtained, and there is nothing a bank will more will­ ingly loan money for than this purpose. Why not start right now doing the things necessary to become the owner, in a very few years, of a profitable and satisfactory dairy herd? < , MILK PRICES for NOVEMBER W« announce tho followin< price* for tho month of November, theee prices will be paid for all milk delivered to our factory at Ha*> tings, Michigan.

At sown years of ago his father moved to Delton, and here Roy lived all tho rest of hia life. He was the youngest of a familv of nine chil­ dren, of whom Chas. H. of Duwliag, Bcnj. F. of Comstock, Elmer G. of Al­ bion, Arion Brown of Sheridan, and Bertha Bush, of Delton, live to mourn hi* loss. Be graduated from the Del­ ton High school at an early age, at­ tended tho- Normal at Kalamazoo, anil taught for several terms. He was also ii graduate of LaSalle Extension Univeraity ot Chicago, from which he won his degree of L. L. B. In 1910 he was census enumerator for Johnstown town­ ship, and Get. 8, 1914 waa appointed Postmaster at Delton. Hero he served faithfully and will be sadly missed by nil tho patrons and the post office force. Ho was married to Miss Gladys Lewis Juno 30, 1911. One child blessed their union, little Jeanette, of whom he was very fond and justly proud. In early life he was converted and joined ths M. E. church, to whieh ho liberally contributed. Ho was also a member of F A A. 345, also of DeWitt Clinton Consistory of Grand Rapids.

Among the pledges given were 8205.00 ia notea, dne next year, and 8629.00 in sub^ seription, on whieh payment has been necessarily delayed, but the eutiih amount in considered good by the com­ mittee. so that against this 8334.00 still due, the committee fell warranted in which to complete paymeat for the re­ pairs. But the 8323.00 will bo more than wiped out by the balance duo of 8834.00. PARENT TEACHERS CLUB.

To the amount of stock subscribed for by the employe, the Company gives one-half, and tbe employe is allowed to pay in small monthly installments. Thus he has an excellent in­ vestment which he can watch and help make more profitable. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) employes are insuring, through investment, the present well-being and future aecurity of their families, an end which every man is striving to accomplish. These men and women know tint the Company is genuinely interest­ ed in furthering their welfare.

Elemental Facts= The Basic Foundation of Good Flour Lies in Good Wheat and Scientific Thorough Milling . Almost a half century of Successful Milling Experience has put us in touch with the sources where the best win­ ter wheat can be obtained, and we pay a premium for full weight, tested wheat, for we know its importance in the making of the BEST FLOUR— FRENCH’S WHITE LILY That kind of wheat is subjected in our own big mill to the BEST processing known to the art of milling under the most FAVORABLE CONDITIONS possible—Steady water power and night and day operation the year round. Thia assures the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE, for it doubles our output, and we own our own plant and water power. ' - ' FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR reduces living expenses, and is the most ECONOMICAL for the house­ wife, because of the best quality of wheat and the best processing known to the flouring business. When you buy FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR you not only get all the flour goodness of the best Michigan winter wheat, but you get such an even, perfect granulation as will.enable the housewife to get more loaves of bread and better bread from a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR than from any other flour. And it will also hold moisture better. If you are not now using it, we invite you to make the test. If you are, you know all we have said is so. There is more of FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR used in Barry county than of all other flours combined. FRENCH’S FLOUR “MAKES GOOD COOKS.’’ L - - The Middleville Koller Mills . Middleville, * ' K.T.

Understanding HE last four yean have marked the growth of a better understanding between the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and the public it serves. This better understanding is evidenced by the fact that four yean ago there were but 4623 stockholders oii the books, where­ at today the number has increased to 26,560. T Misundentanding necessarily disappears when people are frank. In the last four years the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has published in a frank and open manner a vast amount of important news concerning its methods of refining and dis­ tributing petrofaim products. It has explained the factors upon which prices are Based; it has given figures which explain why the demand for its products, and especially for gasoline, is con­ tinually increasing; and by its frankness the Company has prospered. ’ The efficient and economical refining and distribu­ tion of petroleum products is a highly special­ ized business Requiring years to develop. The Very permanency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a dominant factor in the high quality of its service.

K., and I was very thankful for it. Well, as you know, wo started from Dolton Sept. 28th with our Tin Lluie well packed with our camping outfit, tents, suit cases and sb forth, k happy heart, high spirits and full of excite­ ment. Well, wo made South Bend that day, found our Free Auto eamp in a big park, with water, lights and so forth. And after a hot supper,' eooked over a small eampfire, we turned Lixxy into a trundle bed and rolled in. The next morning tha birds-set up an alarm and shamed us out of bed. After preparing enough lunch for that day and drinking a good portion of hot coffe, as it was rather chilly, we were on onr way again, I in khaki kniekcra and blouse. We made Logansport that day as the roads were not as good as they might have been. Camped .in a big park nnd started again early tho next morning, birds singing, sua shin­ ing and enjoyituj the fresh air to tho utmost. We found better roads that day and about four o’clock drove Into Indianapolis, Ind., where there were so many negroes it frightened us—mile after mile and nothing but black faces. After a while we found the other side of the eity, but we had scan too many blaek men, so we made for tha next town. We drove for 25 miles along a paved road to Franklin, Indiana, and all along tho road'we passed-autos not a rod apart'and sometimes ns elore as they eould possibly be. Art said: “I'm glad we got out of Indianapolis before all those autos got there or fer us there.” Wo reached Franklin all right and camped by a small stream of water under a great big willow tree. The next morning we were on our way bright and early. Lixxy was in good running order and we were happy. That night we camped at Jefferson, Indiana, a lovely place. They even had an oil stove, tables, benches, shelter, lights, water, a wings, merry­ go-rounds', and teeter boards, and a place to danee. The next morning we eame to a great big river; ao we gave Lixxy a nice boat ride (ferry, you I think it was the Ohio river. v/iln (bodies and caramels could nob­ le made more appetizing /ers* lucauy sur.ua uiu nor meet one.

It looked much like a fountain at homo in the park, but this one waa made by Nature’s own work and hun­ dreds of feet below tho surfnee of the earth. There wore all shapes and sites representing everything you eould think of, a giant eagle, an elephant, a baby, a huge «nnkc; a man, a picric party, Toddle Roosevelt’s picture and faee, and everything grown by nature’s work out of marble and all colon of tho rainbow. It was something I would not have* missed for anything and I just wish you could rec it, too.

Right on Main street there was a railing around a large opening with a stairway leading down, down, down. Holding tight to the railing, step after step, getting dark, chilly and scary, down and down wo went until my knees began to shake. The roar of rushing water was ever in our ears. At last we saw a man with a light and he relieved us vory much by telling us it wak safe and to follow him. Wo were 350 feet below the sur­ face then, and on a narrow plank walk about five feet above a dear, rashing river.

Taking everything into consideration this flour ' is ^ound to make superior baked goods and when you order a trial sack we are sure you will become a steady user. It is made by a miller who has superior knowledg e of the manufacture of flour, backed by an equipment that excels anything in 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 flour-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 thi s 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 to other flours that claim to be just as good. ' ■ | Do not be deceived—-there are none so good a* FRENCH’S WHITE LlbY FLOUR—it is always even, it is always just the same—when you bake with it one time you find it just like other times. Nearly everybody ia using it. If you haven't tried it yet, ask your grocer for a sack. - FRENCH’S FLOUR “MAKES GOOD COOKS.

Ar there were many such sent out for Mr. Ford, it te fair to infer that there was expended by him or in hi* behalf u large sum of money. Mr. Newberry and his backers spent money very freely for all these pnrjioses, and in addition carried on a. big campaign in the newspaper* that co*t u large sum of money, tho purpose being to buy publicity for Mr. Newberry to counter aet, a* far n* possible, the publicity which Henry Ford already hail obtained through hte extensive manufacture of a popular priced car, nnd bi* widely expressed view* on labor nnd economic . topics. In the federal circuit court, Judge Sessions practically instructed a ver­ dict against Newberry and a large num­ ber of hte backers, because of their use of money far in excess of the amount permitted by law. But tho highest court held that no criminal law had been violate*), since no charge hail been made and no proof shown that the large sums of money expended in be ■ half of Senator Newberry were corrupt­ ly used or used for corrupt ends. It was purely to obtain publicity in the only way in whieh it could be had—by mean* of circulars, letters, pamphlets, billboard and newspaper advertising. So they reverse*!

The time for Senator Newberry to have resigned, in our judgment, was when the supremo eourt had said he had not committed any crime, end that people of this *tate os well as the neoof thi* country could never look with anything but disapproval upon tho spending of ao much money in a senatorial campaign. Had ho resigned then, Senator Townsend would have been returned-to the.U. 8^ senate with­ out doubt.

In thia respect they are not unlike many Americans, but their belief Is much more deeply rooted, as is shown by the extreme care with which tho select their telephone num­ bers, according to the Telephone Press service. The JupnneM government, which operates the service and has been unable to tnejit the demand for telephones, penults the buying and selling of telephone subscriptions and the corresponding numbers, and fre­ quently very 'substantial sums are paid for numbers that are reputed to bo particularly lucky. It Is said that the* luckiest number for business purposes Is eight, becauw the shape of tho Japanese character for eight in some way suggests the idea of prosperity.

Forboa, Director of the United Statue Veterans’ Bureau. “This provision of tho Rehabilitation Act means that those who have de­ lay*! making application for any rea­ son whatsoever must moke this appli­ cation prior to December Iflth or lose the opportunity of receiving this gov­ ernment aid," Colonel Forbes contin­ ued. "There are several ways in which this application for vocational training ean be made. Application may be made by writing a letter to any one of the Bureau offices expressing a desire to apply for tho training which the Government offer*. It should be re- Bureau may consider tho application as made by the man himself. Wher­ ever it is possible, it is best for the ap­ plicant to make his application in pernon at one of tho District or Sub­ District offices of the Veterans’ Bu­ reau. Application forms may be ob­ tained at any ot the Bureau offices or from tho American Legion, American Bed Cross, The Disabled American Vet­ erans, Veterans of Foreign Wars and other co-operating agencies. These forms should bo signed, filled out, and forwaJded to one of the Veterans' Bu­ reau offices,” Colonel Forbes said. “If a form is not available, a letter will be accepted aa an application” Where the postmark of the letter of application or the forms forwarded as an application show that it was tho dose of the working day on Dee. 15th tho application will be considered. However, applications mailed later than this data will be too into nnd perrons ao applying will have lost the privilege of taking advantage of vocational training under this Act. Tho U. 8.

Mil-, ler, in the circuit court in Grand Haven last week, when a jury awarded Miller fl,800 damages. Mr. Gould waa hla attorney. Tho facte, ns wo learn them, are as follows: Miller’s homo is in Irving. For some time ho worked for Cool A Dooley of this eity. On Hallowe’en night one year ago ho wns night-watching for Cool it Dooley, who had a road contract for a stretch of highway leading out from Holland. Their camp and gravel pit were in the corporate limits of that eity. Tho hopper of the gravel-loading machine was full of gravel, nnd a truck was nt the side of tho hopper, ro that pulling the traps would kt the gravel down the two chutes into tbo truck. Tho traps, of course, are normally dosed ns soon na tho truck is loaded. Leaving it open after that would bury tire truck in tho loose gravel and waste tho material. Eighteen young Holland fellows, ranging from 16 -to 31 years of age, were out that Hallowe’en night on dev­ iltry bent. They invaded tho road camp where young Miller wns watching, Miller told him to desist. He refused, and Miller grabbed him. Tho fellow yelled and the rest of the gang ap­ peared and threw Miller down nnd Cilcd onto him. When ho waa let up is nose wa* smashed. Ho does not know whether it wns done by fists or kicks, but it was done. A doctor mend­ ed it tho best he eould, nnd did a good job of it, ao that ho continues to uro it for the usual purpolc* that a nose ia supposed to answer. . . Naturally Miller did not enjoy this proceeding. He never learned all tho names of his 18* assailants, but he did fimP out who four of'them were. He put the earo in Attorney Gould’s hands, and the tetter brought suit for damagro against the four Holland young men. Mr. Gould went to the members of thb quartette and offered'to take 1500 cash in settlement. They not only refused to consider it but offered a ridiculCusly small amount and raid Miller eould take that or nothing, or go ahead with bis law suit. . Naturally tbe law suit resulted, and it was tried last week ia tho Ottawa county circuit court at Grand Haves. After hearing tbo evidence the jury awarded a verdict of 81,800 damages to Miller. Just how the amount was thought- that the jurors considered that there wore’18 cowards in tho party who assaulted Miller, and that they ought to pay 8100 each. The costs, too, must bo paid by tho quartette. They will probably be a little more careful about what they do on Hallows 'en here­ after.

THE WORLDS GREATEST BAKING POWDER Why the Standard Oil Company’s < Business Is Successful ONSUMERS buy petroleum products from the Company which serves them best. The Standard OU Company (Indiana) has succeeded notably because it has given notable service. C The desire to render maximum service to the community has actuated this Company in every one of its undertakings over a long period of years. Proof that the service is being adequately rendered lies in the Com­ pany’s sales sheets. Lines of efficiency radiate from the Board of Directors through every department of the organization to the ultimate consumer. First on the efficiency chart comes quality of product. Sfo^maintain this quality there has been organized modem laboratories where every product is chemically tested for tbe service it is designed to render. High quality once achieved is made a standard from which deviation is never permitted. Sales and distribution also are organised to produce maximum results at minimum ex­ pense. This assures the consumer ar depend­ able supply, and it guarantees that when he buys a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) product he ia paying only a fair and equit­ able price for which he receives fuU value. Every factor entering into the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) business, from the pur­ chase of crude, its transportation to the Company’s refineries, its manufacture into a large number of useful products, its distri­ bution through an intricate network of main and sub-storage depots, tank wagons, and service stations, is developed with a single eye to serving the public. " Experience has proved that the most profit­ able business accrues to that organ which serves tbe public best. Standard Oil Company 910 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago — �—,— — W!

For many year* the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has followed this plan as a pan of its es­ tablished policy. This Company maintains an exceptionally high stand­ ard of safety insurance. It not only provides safety devices but by encouraging the organization of safety committees in all of its refineries, it has been suc­ cessful in reducing accidents in its refineries to a point which actually is below that of many businesses naturally less hazardous. As an example of its efforts in this direction is cited the fact that all Standard Oil Company (Indiana) re­ fineries are provided with elaborate fire-fighting devices, of which live steam and chemicals are notable refinements. The Directors of the Standard Oil Company (Ind­ iana) recognize that an employe who believes him­ self to be well-treated and secure is a better worker and is more interested in giving full service both to the Company and to the public than is the .employe who lacks this feeling of security. The management ot this Company believes that every constructive measure for the benefit of its em­ ployes is a definite factor in lowering the cost of doing business, in securing greater efficiency, and ultimately lowering prices of its products to the consumer. ihool basket ball practice bcMonday night: ubout fifty s responded to Coach Brown’s Hazard reduction is but one item, though an im­ portant one, in the Company's complete program of attention to the well-being of its employes.

You say that she’s so hard to hold. Even I can see that and her wicked glance! We’d all be flung out in the cold. Oh yes, I am comfy and ever so warm; I even feel sleepy, too.

The New Era Association The New Era closed 1921 with a special meeting of its cabinet (directors) on December 30th, and paid every dollar of proven death claims, leaving a surplus of over $30,000 greater than one year ago. The reserve at that time to meet any fluctuation in mortuary or death losses was adequate to protect $40,000,000 in life contracts against two of the most severe epidemics this country ever had. Enough said on finances and the success of 1921. OUR SLOGAN—Combining Life Insurance business and ethics.

Never Failed Having a Quorum in 24 Years We Do Laugh Never But Two Divisions on Roll Call First Because our competition, have another guess coming. They missed the truth by a mile! Read the preliminary insurance commissioner’s report just out. Second Because business and professional men and some labor men buy so-called investment life insurance, agreeing if unfortunate enough to die within twenty years, that the Company keeps their savings account. Never a Division Between Executive, Leg­ islative and Lay Members We challenge any social, religious, political or fraternal association to equal this record. There is a reason. It's a secret which we are telling at every opportunity. Every feature will make a book.

C. J. ARGUBRIGHT Preaident of Michigan Business and Normal College Through the extended acquaintance of Mr. C. J. Argubright, President of the Michigan Business and Normal College, gradu­ ates from this college have many opportunities to accept the best paying positions. Business firms like the Postum Cereal Company; the Kel­ logg Toasted Corn Flake Company; the Studebaker Corporation of Detroit; the Olds Motor Company of Lansing; The Hudson Motor Company of Detroit; the Republic Motor Truck Com­ pany at Alma; the Buick Motor Company of Flint; the Local Agency at Battle Creek—these great business concerns, and hundreds of others, have learned to depend entirely on our rec­ ommendations. In fact, business men throughout the country are asking for our Graduates. Even during these days we have many calls for graduates of Michigan Business and Normal College and are un­ able to qualify young men and young women fast enough to take care of the demand. The calls come to us not only from Battle Creek, but from many of the surrounding towns and cities.' They come by telegram, by long distance phone, by letter and by personal calls. Instituting New Courses of Training as Business Demands All Business and Industrial firms are willing and glad to pay high salaries to competent office help. The great strides made Business and Industry during the past few years have created a need for office help with new knowledge and training along new lines, together with efficiency. Michigan Business and Normal College has kept pace with this demand, by adding new courses of training as business required. The New School of Secretarial Science was added to our course of training in May, this year. It is a recognized fact today that secretarial work is just as much a profession as law, medicine, engineering or teaching, and re­ quires special training. A few years ago, an average Stenographic Training, and especially if backed by a few months’ Business and Bookkeep­ ing foundation work, was considered sufficient for secretarial duties, but with the growth of big business and the consequent new and varied demands, the executive of today has imperative need of a secretary with a practical, advanced training of full collegiate grade along the lines of Secretarial Science. Busi­ ness executives who are paid from $5,000.00 a year up cannot afford to waste hours of valuable time instructing employees in the thousand-and-one details which the modem secretary is ex­ pected to know. Mr. 0. A. Balcomb cam# with tu June 1, u i director of ths now school of Secretarial Science.

In bringing Mr. Balcomb to Battle Creek, we know that wo are offering an opportunity to the young people of thia vicinity to obtain a train­ ing along the Stenographic and Advanced Secretarial Science lines not to be The New Course in Public Accounting and Auditing was instituted in Michigan Business and Normal College training in August, 1920. Financial, manu­ facturing, general business and public service con­ cerns now employ Internal Auditors and General Accountants in greater number than ever before. These Auditors/Comptrollers and Chief Account­ ants have many times requested us to recommend young people with sufficient training and general Knowledge to take positions as Junior Accountants with a view to developing them into higher execu­ tives and accounting positions. This new department of training ia under the supervision of Mr. Chas. Menz, Expert Accountant and Auditor, formerly of Troy, New York, for ten years head of one of the big schools of Accounting in New York State. Let Michigan Business and Normal College Training Show the Way to Success We Give You This Necessary Training The high salaried executives of tomorrow are selected from those who have the ability and the special training to do the work that is to be done. Every office and every business organization is divided into two groups—those who di­ rect the business—the sales and accounts—and those who carry out these directions. Those who carry out the directions are the assistant executives—stenographers, account­ ants, bookkeepers, confidential secretaries, assistants, etc. As changes take place or as busi­ ness expands, these assistant executives grow into higher executives and better paying posi­ tions. Every year hundreds of young people—some high school graduates, some university graduates, public school teachers, and some with only a grade school education—come here to prepare for just such positions. They come wholly unfit for positions like these. Yet they leave a few months later with a greatly increased earning capacity. They are able to enter any line of business. They can go to any city in the United States and get a good position. This is the history of practically every big organization. Th# directing executive# of today an tha assistant executives of yesterday—the stenographers, bookkeepers and tho others who come to th# organisation with special training to make them of special use to tha organization. What these hundreds of young people have done—and are doing—YOU can do. You qan prepare for positions like these—both in Civil Service and in. Business. YOU can create a big demand for your services. You have only to enter this School of Executive Science and follow to success the path which thousands of young men and women have taken.

It costs no more to buy a good quality of flour than it does to use. flour of an inferior quality and the results are far more satisfactory. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is the result of years ol* experience and study. Our one thought has always beeq to improve the quality regard­ . . less of cost. By following tfiis. policy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR has forged to the fropt and there we propose to keep it. Our efforts have been amply rewarded by the ever increasing demand for this popular brand of flour. Insist on French’s White Lily Flour the Next Time You Bake Don’t accept anything that is claimed to be iust as good as FRENCH’S WHITE LILY, insist upon this brand of flour and your "BAKING TROUBLE-S" are over.

Michigan Why Put off Buying 1923 Licenses Can Be Secured and Used on Your New Car Now s I Don't wait until spring to make your purchase of a New Ford Car—buy now and avoid the big rush in the spring. We have no more cars for delivery during the spring months than we have during the winter months. If you have a second hand car to trade in we are more in­ terested to talk to you now than we will be next spring, when we have more orders than we can fill. We are selling more cars this month than any previous December since we have been in business. We have sold 12 new cars in the past 12 days and one of the reasons for thia ia that you do not have to spend any money for a 1922 license, but can purchase your 1923 license and cer­ tificate of title at once and use the 1923 license on your new car now. Another reason why you should place your order for a New Ford Car now is the fact that the Ford Motor Com­ pany closes down from December 21st to January 4th for inventory, and thia will shorten up on our allotment of cars for December and January. your order or get in touch with Phone our salesman will call on you Universal Garage Company HASTINGS ■ .

Tho state happens to own several thousand acres of these lands which had been returned started to plant white pine, Norway pine and spruce on theqe lands, and has several good sized Aracts of thrifty, growing young trees. The eonserva- forested areas, and tho growth of tbe timber is so encouraging aa to *huw that, if persisted in, this policy will, ignn a pine producing region, with the state supervising the cutting of tree* *o that waste will not bo penhlttcd, and so that the eut branches will be cared for without constantly menacing tho growing tree* with destruction by VO an income from these reforested lands that will help much tuwarfi paying stalo expense*, thereby reducing taxa­ tion, and will also assure a 'more oven rainfall and a continuous and growing supply of pine lumber. As rapidly n* possible the wastelands of that re­ gion should bo taken over by the state, and reforested. If that policy is Ln tclligcntly and persistently followed there are people living in Michigan today who will see the time when this state will be eatirely supported, with all state institutions included, by the revenue from state owned and state controlled forest*. And yet there arc people who arc trying to undo tho splendid work so well begun by tho state conservation department itP reforesting lands that have come back to tho state because, for any other purpose except for grow­ ing of timber, they nro absolutely worthless. The state has the lands, and growing timber on them is the only possible use to which they can be pul. The good of future generations de­ mauds that reforesting be done, and dona now.

It Is the Christmas spirit materialised, the spirit of Kindness, Justice, Equity and Fair Dealing, the spirit which give* body to the Golden Rule. The spirit of service is evqr present in the policies uf the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) permeating every phase of Its activities. The spirit of service is a principle which radiates naturally from tbe management and through every fibre and unit of the organtsatioa. Such a spirit is essential in abig business iftbe work it is designed to 3o be comprehensive In its scope. It provides proper compensation for men and women who have grown old in the service.

' / It embraces a plan whereby employes may liecome partner* in the business, Insuring a com­ fortable fe ej i n g of independence, thereby supplanting worry with peace of mind. It provides a channel through which the worker in the humblest position may bring bl* grievance, if be has one, to tbe attention of tbe manage­ ment and be sure of consideration These four manifestation* of tbe Standard Oil spirit of service reflect themselves directly in developing contented employes, who work with an enthusiasm Impossible to those who labor under the lash. Tbe material benefits of this daily application of the Christmas spirit A»e mirrored to a superlative degree in the superior service which tbe Standard Oil Company (Indians) through its harmonious, happy, contented family of 27,000 employees is able to render to Sd million people in 10 Middle Western States. )t ie this spirit of service animating the entire •rganiaatloa which has enabled the Director* to render so praiseworthy an accounting of their stewardship to the £0,7fl8 stockholders, not one of whom owns as much u 10 per cent of the total. dard Oil Company >.

Chaanaa, MlddlavtUa 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 yeast and moisture when it comes 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 tbe leas impurities there will be in the flour. In the manufacture of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR we put the grain through 17 different net* of roll*, each one reducing the parti­ cles of flour to a more even granulation. Flout made by tbe ordinary milla only paste* through three or four acta of roll*. You can see from thia why FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is BETTER than other flours; why it absorbs yeiat more uniformly; why bread made from it is better and why the QUALITY is always uniform. Before we commence to make FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, ALL the grain u thoroughly waahed, scoured and polished. You don’t find any particles of dust and dirt in FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR a* 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. tbe same oven at the same time. We are glad to abide by the RESULTS, There in more FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR add in Barry county than all other flour* combined.

Ten years ago the erder of one hundred million seals was consid­ ered stupendous and a daring one to place. The 1821 order waa for 350 million seals aa against the original 13,000 in 1907 in Delaware where the movement was originated by Miss Emily P.Biasd, who got her idea from an arti­ cle by Jacob Riis in the Outloolt de­ scribing similar vrerk in hla native country. The difficult feature of the job la the perforation the seals eall for. Very few printers ean handle this part of so large a quantity quickly enough or satisfactorily. For 1922 the order was placed last March, throe firms bidding for the work, one in Cincinnati, After much deliberation tho entire order was plaeod with tho latter peo­ ple. This is tho printing problem the sueceecful firm has to face, the order being practically for- one billion seals— it has to bo on gummed paper, per­ forated in two ways with pinhole per­ forations, printed in three colon, cut in sheets of 100, scaled in packages of 10,000 and delivered in care-lots of a million to between fifty and a hundred shipping points.

It indicates a volume of business during the rapidly approach­ ing months of “heavy demand’’ which wilt be far beyond the maximum production schedule which the Ford Motor Company has set— , 1 And that means a.Ford shortage even more acute than the one which existed last Spring and Summer.

The only way you can protect your desire to obtain prompt delivery of a Ford even at this time is to place your order immediately. TAis emphasizes more strongly than anything we could possibly say the necessity of'your making prompt arrangements with a Ford Dealer tar the listing of your order, particularly if you are contemplating the purchase of a Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or Summer.

A convincing argument in favor of this question is found in the experiei of Albert Klebesadel, whose farm is 2 miles west of Showano in the-central part of Wisconsin Something About Klebesadel The Story the Scales Told Albert Klebesadel was born in a log cabin which still stands near their pres­ ent comfortable farm hom£. He was reared under hard pioneer conditions and from early boyhood developed an amazing appetite for facts. . He was never satisfied to accept any statement or condition until he had proven it. ’; He began weighing the milk from three cows— The Best Cow in the Herd— Her Brown Daughter — Her Brown and Yellow Grand­ daughter. , By this plan he found that the herd was going down Jiill. The Brown cow was producing less than her moth­ er and the Brown and Yellow grand­ daughter was producing still less. He also found out that in 1910 their 20 cows produced only 44,279 pounds of milk, or $483.76. He figured still fur­ ther —20 cows milked twice a day made an average of a little less than 4'cehts a milking. This passion for questioning things and getting,at the facts expressed it­ self in the purchase of a small set of spring scales from a mail-order house for the sum of (2 cents. The day the scales arrived Albert began weighing the milk from some of his father’s dairy herd, and also finding out how much feed these cows Were eating. »chool Friday afternoon. Mr*.

The entire cost of this heifer's main­ tenance during her first year of pro­ duction was $91.15. Her production for eleven months was 10,886 pounds of milk, or 520 pounds of butter. Her total production income was* $313.20 and her profit was $222.05. In her first year of production this heifer paid for her own keep, paid for the bull that sired her, paid for his keep and left a profit of more than $ 100.

The year 1922 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 LILY FLOUR. We likewise arc appreciative and feel amply repaid in our efforts to make FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR a flour that will give satisfactory bak­ ing results at all times.

The many "pointers” we have picked up; the many little things we have discovered, by means of which we could IMPROVE THE QUALITY, of our output are really of PUBLIC BENEFIT because IT HAS GIVEN A BETTER FLOUR WITHOUT INCREASING THE COST. There is really a great satisfaction in making a good food product, that meets with popular favor. There is great pleasure in knowing that FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR hu th. r.put.lion of twin, the BEST flour on the market for any line of household baking; that bread made from it tends to make strong, robust men and women of the future, and that it costs no more than ordinary flour. 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 in the exclusive manufacture of this one prod­ uct—FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. - . So we dote the year 1922 with the kindest wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year and many thanI-a for the favors shown FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR during the year just dosing. That experience has been most valuable to us—it is really a great asset to this mill, and it is of benefit to very user of FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR.

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.
