Exciting Experience or out in Castleton township always takes great delight in helping to give the kiddies a lot of pleasure and good cheer nt Christmas time. Despite the fact that ho is no spring chicken, Barry is quick and active, and About the size that Kris Kringle is sup­ posed to be, so they prevailed upon him to act ax “Old Santa” at the Christ­ mas festivities out his way. When Barry does anything he likes to do it just as well as it ean be done. He did not want any false face whiskers that would keep flopping up and down, dis­ closing his identity, and revealing to the children that his garb was a decep­ tion. He wanted real “Oom Paul” whiskers that he, or anyone else, could take hold of and pull and not have ’em come off. Accordingly he got a long, flowing, white beard and glued it right to his face. That beard couldn't have served its purpose any better if it had been “home-grown.” That was dis­ closed a little later on when a little child, bearing a lighted eandle, animated with Christmas enthusiasm and inspired by the magic presence of Old Ranta Claus in person, accidentally got the torch under Santa's whiskers. There was the usual crackling noise and odor of burning hair. There was some con­ fusion of course, but Santa Claus was game to the core, and by pxtreme ef­ forts pulled off the beard—but along with it came generous pieces of cuti­ cle from both rides of his faee. Barry fully appreciates that even being a real Santa Claus has its draw­ backs.

BELL COMPANY TIES NAME WITH SYSTEM Michigan Utility is Known Now as Michigan Bell Tele­ phone Co. Announcements have been received, with their January statements for sendee, by local telephono subscribers that the name of tho Michigan State Telephone company has been changed to Michigan Bell Telephone comnany effective January 1. Similar afinoupceinentis carried in the advertising col­ umns of this paper. Reason assigned by telephone offi­ cials for the change of name is that its name should indicate the company’s association in the Bell System as it does the state it serves. It also is explained that the company is a Michigan corporation, organized in Michigan for the purpose of giving “Universal Service” to Michigan peo­ ple, both designations, “Michigan”’ and “Bell," therefore being approp­ riately used in the company’s name. Officials of the company announce that the task of consolidating the prop­ erties and service of the former Citi­ zens with the Bell company, In some 63 towns and cities of Western Michi­ gan, is progressing very favorably. Tho work of unification of the services has been completed in all but three or four of tho towns affected, such as Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Jackson, whero the task is one of great magnitude but where it is well under way. The company has a considerable pro­ gram of expansion under way for 1924. it is stated. Approximately 10,000 peo­ ple are now in the employ of the Mich igan Bell company throughout'the state. ALIAS GUT'S USED AT MXDHIGHT 8E2VICE A new gradine and tabernacle given to Emmanuel church as a thank-offering by an anonymous doner was in place and used for the first time at the midnight sen-ice Christmas Eve. The office lights on the altar were placed by the Altar Guild in memory of Miss Rose Goodyear and Mm. Anna McOmber, two loyal and devoted mem bers of the pariah whose sen-ices and devotion to the work are sadly missed. A fine program of music wan rendered under the leadership of Wallace Os­ born, choir director. Fouls The Alumnno tuasers again lost to the high school girls, Friday, Dec. 28, in n peppy game of basket ball. At the st rat of the game both teams scored neck to neck, the Alumnae striving hard to gain the lead. A dose pnss and a neat basket followed by a free throw placed the school train three scores be­ yond their opponents. Then the Alum nae evened up matters by making two snappy field baskets, which tied the score; however the high school piekod up on their scoring and were far in ad­ vance of tho Alumnae at the end of the first half. A rearrangement of their players proved more successful to the Alumnae in their attempt to cage more baskets. Both scores advanced during the third quarter, the lead still re­ tained by tho high school tram although the alumnae gave bitter opposition to all of the constant high school scoring. Had the Alumnae been able to make all scores resulting from free throws, the final total would have been in favor of the former players of Hastiogs High, for the school team made a great num ber of technical and personal fouls nil through the game. The game ended with the score standing 17 to 10, with the Alumnae on the losing end of the score. The usual squad of high school players was used and the following players of former membcni of teams, who have won victories for Hastings High in the past, defended the Alumnae title: C. Newton, G. Farrell, A. Bates, for­ wards; L. Ware, and C. Newton, jump­ ing centers; M. Wood and. M. Keller, running centers; L. Ware, E- Ketcham, and M. Calkins, guards. ' ^jiss Curtis of Grand Rapid*refereed.

The fruit is creamlike in sub­ stance. If the meat of a banana were squashed and mixed with nn equal quantity offtch rrefim. a small quan­ tity of cbocotati- nnd enough garlic to lend a strong- foate to the whole, the result would be ulxmt the nearest pooslble approach to the flavor nnd con­ sistency of the durian.

Professor Gordon said that early jewelry did not seem to have been set In rings. One of the earliest examples of the use of rings In statuary was In the statues of Prometheus, w!h>, when rw leased from bondage oa the Intercao* sicni of Venux, wore a ring with a small piece of the Caucasus In It to show that he waa Mill chained to ttw Caucnsu*. The Idea of a ring being a sign of bondage bn* continued sloes those dnys. Bishops and iloctnrs wore rings by right beranM-they had signed away their imfepeodence in order to benefit mankind.

Perhaps the most remarkable case of fasting, as also one of the most tragic, was that of the “fasting girl" of South Wales, who in 1869 was ex­ hibited by her parents as having eaten nothing for two years. This stat» ment being open to doubt and persist­ ently maintained, certain sealots In the cause of truth arranged that four trained nurses should be in continuous attendance. Tills was done and after eight days of fasting the unfortunate girl died. The parents were tried and convicted on a charge of manslaugh­ ter; but it is not stated that any ac­ tion was taken either against tbs nurses or those who employed them. Peculiar Freak of Fortune. When the Formers' bunk of Canada failed there was a scandal. One man was sent to prison and others were disgraced because the funds of deposi­ tors had been used In the Keeley sil­ ver mine project In which various of the officiate were Lntereated. After the fail of the bunk an English concern took over the Keeley mine. Fifty feet beyond that reached by the drills of the banking syndicate the English struck a vein of sliver which is said to yield 2,000 ounces to the ton. Those Fanners’ bank men now cun under­ stand what was meant by being in the right church but the wrong pew.— Richard Spillane, In Forbes Magaslne. Various Theories About Tides. At different times in the history ot the world a great many theories have been entertained as to the cause of the tidal movementa. Aristotle and Heraclitus thought that the tides were caused by the sun, which, whirl­ ing the winds about, caused the water to rise and fall. Later the explana­ tion was advanced that the motion was the natural one of respiration— the breathing of the sea. The Arabs of medieval times thought that possi­ bly tne moon heated the water and thus caused it to swell and recede again as it cooled.

Commenting on thia, historians of the Pean family have expressed the opinion that the Incident is probably unique. There is no use our pretending to be, the honest fact is we are not suffi­ ciently acquainted with the ways ot married folk to know whether the fol­ lowing old dipping states a truth or not. Anyway, we are going to print It: “Women who want their husbands to care for them should never cry. A homely woman looks pretty and at­ tractive when she laughs at a man’s faults; a pretty woman looks homely when shs cries over them. This is selfish, no doubt, but look among any of your married acquaintances and you will find that the woman whose bus­ band thinks the moat of tier Is the one who laughs where other women would cry."—Boston Transcript. Mineral Food of Plants. According to scientists of the De­ partment of Agriculture, the mineral food consumed by plants Is of two kinds. Some minerals, such as phos­ phoric add, potash, lime and mag­ nesia, are essential- to the nourish­ ment of the plant. But plants have also a general appetite for mineral sub­ stances, eating freely io addition to the quantity necessary to their proper nutrition. It is said that plants seem to thrive best where thdr appetite for nonessentlal mineral food la gratified. Soda Is Included In this kind of plant food. Captive Beasts Fade, To capture an elephant that Is a “perfect 86" and a tiger with a nat­ ural complexion, the American Mu­ seum of Natural History has sent an expedition into India.

It is recorded of Napoleon that on the night preceding the battle of Aus­ terlitz he was in conference with bls generate. The greet military leader had a map spread out before him. On it he had placed several pin* to mark certain positions of strategic Impor­ tance. “Gentlemen," said the IJltls Corporal, "tomorrow we shall move there"—pointing to the first pin on the map—“the enemy will move there” —bls lingers resting od another pin— “we shall defeat him I" The greet mili­ tary genius was right, lhe French moved as Napoleon predicted. The enemy arranged their pluns as he bad foreseen, and the forces of the repub­ lic gained an overw helming victory on the plains of Austerlitz.

The electric dog that will follow a lantern In the dark—the mechanical curio constructed by John Hays Ham­ mond, Jr.—has a rival la a French electric dog that will jump out of Its kennel when a whistle sounds. The Hammond dog Is controlled by sele­ nium cells. The amount of electricity that will pass through selenium va­ ries with the amount of light shining on the metal. With a selenium cell for e^ch eye of the dog and a small electric current operating -a steering gear inside the toy, the dog will steer Its course so as to have an equal amount of light on each eye. which means that It will keep Its head toward any light. Storage batteries and a motor, or clockwork, mny be used for moving the dog.—Washing­ ton Star. What and Where Kant's Hole la. A cavern in the vicinity of Torquay* Englttild. famous not only for Its relics of prlmutlve man. but ulso for Its re­ mains of extinct nnitnals, is known as Kent's Hole. Although the existence of this cave had been known from time Immemorial, It did not attract the attention of scientists until 1825. Excavations were carried on by Pen-1 gelly from 1805 to 1880, at a cost of nearly £2.000 und yielded results of the highest Importance to the science of anthropology. There were found flint tools of the Paleolithic age and implements of bone, such ns needles, awls and har­ poons. The animal remains discov­ ered comprised those of the Hon, hyena, bear. wolf, fox, rhinoceros, mar^nioth. Irish elk and reindeer, showing that those animals once lived tn Britain and were co-tern porn neous with men of the Stone age. Ammonia Gas Livan* the Zoo.

The fish did not mind at all, but there wa* trouble with the sea lions, the seal, the alligators and the turtles. None of them hud sense enough to submerge, and declined all assistance from the keepers. They all knew something was wrong, but in­ sisted In remaining on deck, as it were.

PA< — ★—andQUESTIONS Ule Anmn Coolidge Positively CAPITAL, $75,000.00 ORETHROAT b If tho mutter of a general reduelion of taxen in the paramount, that is, the greatest, issue before the American peo­ ple today, as President Coolidge truly rays it is, the people have the assur­ ance that in Mr. Coolidge himself they have a commander-in-chief of their gov­ ernmental affairs whose major quality is sound sense joined with firm deter­ mination. In a dear and bdsiness-like mind like his, the matter which he recog­ nizes ns of supreme public importance is bound to take the first place and keep it. Of that the people are assured in his remarkable budget message. Lesser questions take a back seat in such a mind, just as all subordinate questions, all party polities, all personal leanings, dropped out of sight, when, as governor of Massachusetts, Mr. Cool­ idge hnd tho Boston police strike to deal with. And just as the assertion of plain American honesty and the main­ tenance of the public's essential right proved in that exigency to be the best policy, so will the President’s deter­ mination prove to be the best political program that any party can put forth today. The President’s words arc as plain as a pikestaff: “Wo have now reached a point in our financial program where wo can lighten the tax burden of the people, which is an added reason for taxing a firm stand against any and all pro­ grams of spending that would tend to absorb the expected margin between receipts and expenditures.” This is the logic of the ledger. It is tho hard-pan of the national situation. And there can be no question at all about tho “firm stand” that will bo made on it. Mr. Coolidge has the “fol­ low-up” characteristic. Not one citizen, of any party or of any leaning, can doubt, after reading this budget meas­ ure, that the President’s mind is made up. And tho more the people read and ponder the message, the moro clearly they are likely to see that his mind is made up in their interest. Certainly his subordinates in tho government will have no option except to carry out the program he has so positively indicated, and the houses of Congrcae will do well to embody in legislation and in appro­ priations his entirely definite recom­ mendations.—Boston Transcript.

Snug Comfort for Winter Driving Those whose business needs require a car of the roadster type will find this Buick fourcylinder roadster with its winter enclosure ideally suited for cold weather driving. Its roomy body provides ample comfort for two passengers. Large compartments afford un­ usual space for samples and baggage. The powerful Buick valve-in-head engine assures more than enough power for every kind of road and grade. Added to these features is the greater certainty of control contributed by its Buick four-wheel brakes. J. S.

It saves time and labor, spreads manure evenly, en­ riches the soil, increases the yield of crops, makes money, and takes the drudgery out of work. Ign't it time you owned one? The McCORMICK-DEERING Spreader is easy-pulling and light in draft because it spreads wide from a box that tapers one and one-half inches from front to rear, the rear end being wider than the front, which prevents the manure from lodging against the box sides. Power is transmitted fiom both ends of the rear axle; rear wheels track with the front wheels, helping to re­ duce the draft. A powerful, steady double-ratchet feed, operated by a rocker arm transmission, gives great lever­ age to the large ratchet w heel. The two steel beaters thoroughly cut and tear the ma- nure, after which it receives an extra besting as it passes through the wide-spread spiral. The spiral spreads the manure evenly over the entire surface covered, which extends out beyond the wheels. In going over the field on the succeeding rounds, the wheels do not pass over the manure already spread. We would like to have you see this Spreader. and talk things over.

Haman gratitude for that long career of service, withent which civili­ zation would not hare made its present strides, has created a bond of attach­ ment between man and the horse that will not be easily broken. The time when man first discovered the docile end tractable qualities of the horse is not known. Although the ox, as a domestic work animal, in doubtless of greater age, the horse was known a* a military aid, first for cavalry and later for chariot use, nearly as long as written records of history extend. In the wars between Persia, Egypt and Greece the side was often victorious that had the most and the best horses. The steed of the Arab is a classic of primitive romance.

Mumsle, but I love Mlaa Rogers a teeny little bit more, ’cos she’s so nice to me." Mrs. Adair watched the little fig­ ure depart upon Its way to school with an old- pang at her heart, She had had two children, but one hud been taken from her, and she had clung to her little boy with ail the devotion of the mother of one.. Miss Rogers, capable, cool, efficient, yet seemed a poor substitute for her­ self In Johnny's affections. Had she not slaved for him, given up every minute of her life to him? She had watched the little figure asleep with passionate love. And now he loved Mira Rogers a little bit more. For a moment she almost hated the school-teacher. She would have liked to have torn her hair, scratched her face, committed any excess of out­ raged mother-love. Then common sense came to her aid. After all It was probably a childish fancy. "Mumsle, dear, what ahnll 1 give Mira Rogers for her birthday tomor- “How do you know It’s tonforrow?" “ 'Cos she told rar. She'D he twentyfour.” Mrs. Adair amlled.

She choked down her distress. "I’m afraid that's a matter that you'll have to de­ cide for yourself, Johnny,’’ she an­ swered. Johnny pondered over the problem all the way to school next morning. When he entered the classroom his mind was still not made up. He glanced up at Miss Rogers, presiding over the little boys and girls. How beautiful she was, with that smooth curl on her forehead! He loved her. lie had never dared to tell her sn. He wondered If she could guess how much he loved her. "Johnny, sit up!" Johnny sax up in consternation. Miss Rogers hud never spoken to him quite so crossly as that before. Tears came into hl« eyes. How sorry she would fee! when he gave her her present. But what shonld It be? Should he give her the pin-hot the next morning, or should ho give her the bunch of flowers? He could not possibly make up his mind. Which would Miss Rog­ ers prefer? Suppose he gave her flowers and she would rather have had the pln-hox I “Johnny, corae here What do you mean by lolling in the class like thut I for?"

Johnny could not have been expected to know that. "Johnny, you've been Idling ami dreaming all through the lesion. Now repeat to me what I've taught you." It was true. Johnny could not re­ peat a single word. How shonld he. when he had not heard one? Hh thoughts had been fnr away—dream­ ing about the flowers and the pin-box. “You really arc a very Idle, bad Iwiy. Now go to your seat and try to pay attention to what I tell you." Johnny went back. He felt the tears running down his face. He could no longer contain himself. "Cry-baby 1" whispered the little girl next to him. He slapped her face. "Johnny!" Amused, Mira Rogers bore down on him. "Leave the room at once. If you don't behave yourself I shall send you to the principal." He stood miserably outside till the dans over. A terrible avoiding succeeded It.

Honest, plodding. Industrious, he had not the qualities that inuke for suc­ cess. An elderly-look lug man,- unob­ trusive, he went hla way, the butt of mild witticisms on the part of the younger men. No one knew anything about old Henry, nor where he lived, and nobody cared. The same applied equally to Mis.* Rowell, of the corres|»ondcnce depart­ ment. Miss Rowell had been there nine yean, and looked just a plain, pale, rather faded old nuild. "Say, Mis* Rowell, Hank Dobson reckons he's goiug to get married 1" Sadie, the telephone girl, said this, and waited for the quick blush to ap­ pear on Mis* Rowell's face. “Is be, really'? Oh, isn't that nice!" "Say," said Sadie to her friend. Agues Strutt, “wouldn't It be u Joke to make Amy Rowell think Hank Dob­ son's In love with her?" “And to make him think she's In love with him!" "How’ll we do Itr “Watch me!" said Sadie cryptically. Ou the following morning Miss Row­ ell found a neat little bunch of violets on her desk, with a scrap of pasteboard attached, bearing In writing the words, "With If. D.'*'compliments." Her agitation appeared plain. The girls, watching her, had many quiet giggle* as they saw her surreptitiously bend to th® fragrance of the flower*. “Say, Hank, that's a tine bund) of flow'efSiyou sent Miss Rowell." "I didn’t send her any flowatR. Whal'd I :;Want to send her flowers I fur?" .nrqtested lleijry Dobson. “Well, don't you let on you didn't. Site's coming to thunk you." Little Miss Rowell stopped nt Henry • Dobson s desk. "Thank you so much ’ for your beautiful flowers, Mr. Dob’ son," she said in a quiet voice. I A few days later Henry Dobson • found a pair of socks on his desk, bearing a Cqrd, /With kind remembranpst from A. ft,”.. Examination dis­ closed the fact that the heels were , Suue. “Say, Miss Rowell, Mr. Dobson’s had such a lovely pair of socks from some one," said Sadie. Little Miss Rowell raised her head Inquiringly. “Who sent them?" she asked. "Oh, Miss Rowell I Oh, Miss Row­ ell 1" they teased hta. It was funny to see how nervously Miss Rowell avoided Henry Dobson's desk for several days thereafter. The cream of the joke came a few ' days later. Miss Rowell opened a ] little cardboard box. Inside was a ten-years-old valentine, procured from some old dealer who had had It rot­ ting on his alt elf since the days when valentines remained In fashion. The lace paper edge was torn and mil­ dewed. The picture represented an elderly spinster with a long, red nose, and underneath was printed: Plutarch’* Philosophy, He regarded nothing to be cheap that was superfluous, for what one does not need is dear at a penny; nnd It was better to possess field, where the plow goes und the cattle feed, than tine gardens that require much water­ ing and sweeplug.—Plutarch. The edeeational value of the radio to families in their home* and on the farms is becoming more fully appre­ ciated.

Hank Dobson came slowly Into the correspondence departtuent as the girls ware getting on their hats. Miss Rowell rose up, smiling. “Oh, Sadie, you know I'm not com­ ing back on Monday?" she asked. “Not coming back. Miss Rowell?*' There 'was genuine regret. Then, Im­ pulsively: “Oh, Miss Rowell, If It's because we've bothered you so much, won’t you overlook it? I—I’m really ashamed." “My dear, you haven’t bothered me at all," Miss Howell smiled.

SPLENDID TALK ON SOIL CONSERVATION Made by Mr. Chulu Allen, i Marion, 0., Before Botary Club Monday Evening Wo wish that every peraon in Barry county and especially every fanner, could have listened to the talk of Mr. Charles AUen, of Marina, Ohio, Prec­ ident of The Farmers’ Sugar Corpora­ tion Of Defiance, Ohio, before the mem­ bers of the Rotary Club, their . ladies and guests, at a meeting Monday night. His talk emphasised the crying need of Soil Conservation, and was agaiaat the present policy of robbing the soil of its value. The soil, he described, as nothing more than a basin in which is held, the elements necessary for growing food. When those elements are taken out through the growing of certain crops the soil itself is valaeless. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of acres of soil in this country, formerly very fer­ tile and valuable, are now deserted and practically worthless. He said that today you could not ride-to Washineton, the nation's capitol, on any roaa, without going through land that former­ ly sold for at least $200 pet aero and upwards, that today you can buy for less than $25 per acre. Whj! Sim­ ply because the soil haa been robbed of its fertility and today it is worth­ less. The rich Mohawk Valley it\ New York and many other fertile regions were referred to, that in earlier Uys were veritable garden spots. Today the land Is practically valueless, simply because crops have been raised and sold that have taken out the soil's rich Speaking of wheat, he says that every bushel sold takes a soil content that would take 45 cents to replace. Europe is wise in buying our wheat, and has alwitl bought it for less than it was worth, excepting on very rare occa­ sions and in few instances. He said that the agricultural policy of Germany had been exceptionally wise, and one that we might well fol­ low. Germany grows an immense amount of sugar Deets, which do not take a single element of richness from the soil, when the beet tops and beet pulp are put back onto the ground to replace tne soil elements taken out. By buying her wheat and phosphates to keep the soil rich, and growing beets which are sold to the world in the form of sugar, the soil of Germany has been maintained at a wonderful state of richness and 70 millions of peo­ ple ore maintained on a territory no larger than one of our states. If we are to continue great and pow­ erful and hand down to our children a heritage that is anything but worth­ less, we must begin at once to adopt and follow a policy of “Soil Conserva­ tion," without which no country can endure.

Many of our own great men of National and International reputa­ tion have come to realize that if we maintain our place as leader of the Nations of the World it will be because we become more THRIFTY. T This is not a new movement—but never before have people everywhere become so fully awake to the importance of THRIFT. Never before has it taken on such magnitude as now—Every loyal American citizen should TALK THRIFT—PRACTICE THRIFT—PROMOTE THRIFT— every day in the week for the entire year 1924. A Nation Is Only As Thrifty As the Families That Make It. Then It Is Up To All Our Families To Be 100% Thrifty. Your Barry County 'J'hrift Committee propose to con­ duct this campaign along ten distinct lines, as follows: MAKE A BUDGET—January. * RECORD EXPENDITURES—February. HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT—March. CARRY LIFE INSURANCE—April. PAY BILLS PROMPTLY—May. WORK AND EARN—June, July and August. OWN YOUR HOME—September. MAKE A WILL—October. INVEST IN SAFE SECURITIES—November. SHARE WITH OTHERS—December. and one thing that will surely prevent “borrowing” and relieve “sorrowing" is to Make a Family Budget Now January, 1924 The way to prepare a Budget is to use a pencil and paper and PLAN YOUR EXPENSES IN ADVANCE —listing each item of upkeep, such as Clothing, Housing, Food, Recreation, Amuse­ ments and Contributions, according to your means. d . ( Be Sure To List An Item For Savings After these simple preliminaries, keep strict account of all your income and ex­ penses. If your expenses have been reasonably below your income, you win and have money in the bank. But if your expenses total more than your income, you lose and must immediately try to reverse the situation. January, 1924, Is Budget Month. Start the Year Right. Keep a Budget. Keep Ahead. Spend With Your Eye* Open. That’s the fascinating part of it,—to figure out how to get ahead and stay ahead. It takes imagination, thought and careful planning. It’s a great game for people who want to succeed. ”, ■ We will have a neat Budget Book for you—all ruled and lined with items listed. Every Thrift family will warn ofce. You can get yours by applying at any bank in Barry county, who will get in touch with this Committee. Barry County Thrift Campaign Committee H. S. SHELDON, Chairman, Hastings, Mich.

Both the boys and girls are planning teams from the classes and each team is going to work hard for the championship. Miss Howe and the Misses Creason went to see “The Bohemian Giri” at Grand Rapids, January 3. Banta sure wm good to some of us when he passed out the new foot ball sweaters with the dazzling H’s and bright stripe*. A very enjoyable program was held in chapel laat Friday. Miss Francis Carrothers gave two very beautiful violin selections accompanied at the piano by Miss Wilber. Some very en­ joyable piano numbers were played by Miss Wilber ia her usual delightful style. To top the program, Mr. Murphy road a few of tho typical American poems produced by the true Yankee. The entire program was enjoyed and appreciated by alL Mr. Murphy’s public speaking classes have been enjoying real honest to good­ ness old fashioned spell downs. And tho word* that are produced for the •peller are auro stickers. A series of educational films have been shown at the High school in the science room. The one depicting the combustibility of dust particles and the film tracing the evolution of writing were particularly interesting. Quite a few students took advantage of the in­ vitation to see those films, filling the room to capacity. A delightful game of indoor base ball was enjoyed by a group of playful seniors who were attempting to tou pennies upon ths ledge on tke wall by the stage. As no umpire was present, the game was rather noisy and consid­ erable uproar arose a* to who was next in the batting line. The game ended, notiiing to nothing, in favor of the Lincoln penny batten. part two —| Intyre defended the prisoner while Kantner represented the plaintiff. Mr. Bauer was convicted thus removing for­ ever the blot which he had placed upon the name of Behaibly. This trial proved once more the fast that any malicious attempt to slander the character of an innocent citizen will be met with un­ biased justice and merciless punish­ ment. The, jury of ladies which heard the case were unanimously agreed (strange isn’t itf) that the prisoner was guilty and the fine of six cents asked for by the plaintiff was granted. Beyond a doubt it will be much harder for the plaintiff to collect the damages than it was for him to win the ease. Remember Congress meets every Fri­ day afternoon and is looking for new members. Annual News. Don’t forget the atory contest for the annual If you can, or would Hko to try to write a story for the annual see Miss Ruth Lindsay, the Literary editor, and get the details of the plan. An annual will be given to the first prize story and the second prize will bo printed in this book. This is open to all classes and it is hoped that many will try their hand at some literary masterpiece. Work on the annual is coming along in good shape. Students can be assured that a high grade book will be pub­ lished. Of course to do this you must help’ end here is your chance to do so by entering this contest. E0SJ3 ’ let the children A very interesting collection is to be seen in room twenty. After much dili­ gent labor and earnest newspaper cut­ ting, Mr. Hunt has acquired a very in­ teresting rogues' gallery which, out of the kindness of his heart, he has posted on his newsy bulletin board for those who arc interested in such. Prof. Foreman, of poultry husbandry and Prof. Cox, of farm crops, from the agricultural college will be here Feb. 1, and 2, to judge for the Ag-He exposi­ tion. Does every one know what Ag-He means! If you all remember, you will recall that last year the agricultural department and the home economics department put on a joint exhibit, thus “Ag-He.’’ Excitement reigned supreme the last day of last week for one member of oar High school was up for trial, and stu­ dents were busy getting affidavits on character, etc. Does Hildred Culbert look any older than she did last Friday!

Important among other indications that tho new year will see a vastly in­ creased demand for automobiles is the "Buy Now" campaign which has just been launched by the Ford Motor com­ pany. Particular significance may be at­ tached to this, coming as it does at the very start of the year, for no company in the industry is better situated to sense future conditions in the motor ear field nor keep more closely in touch with tho temper of the motor buying jnihlie. Through its great dealer organization, approximating 10,000, the company i* able to obtain veiy accurate reports covering all parts of the country. That the outlook indicates a greater demand than ever daring the coming year seem* apparent in tho action of inaugurating a "Buy Now" campaign at this time. A year. ago, the shortage was seed and tho publie advised, but the demand which developed during the spring and early summer months exceeded all ex­ pectations with the result that produc­ tion failed to moot it, and more than 350,000 persons were disappointed in not being able to get Fora cars. Practically all through the year it was necessary to maintain a constantly increasing production schedule in order to keep up more closely with the de­ mand. Even with that deliveries were extremely slow. In view of the company’s experience last year the "Buy Now" campaign just starting eomes ** a war*ing sug­ gestion to the car buyer and reflects a condition which presages an even grca|cr ear shortage during tho coming spring and summer. There has been an unusal demand for Ford cars and trucks so.far thia winter. In some cases dealers already are compelled to designate later deliv­ ery dates on certain types of cars. In this connection an Interesting fea­ HIGH STREET. ture is the already noticeable increase Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kurtz and son in enrollments under the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan.

Both manufacturers and growers have been invited to the meeting, and it is prodieted that last year's attendance of 250 will be equalled or bettered. Problems of production, with empha­ sis on the cultural end, will be discussed at the conference, according to acting­ dean E. B. Hill, of the M. A. C. agri­ cultural division, who is arranging de­ tails of the institute. Fertilization, disease problems, insect control, and general cultural methods will be taken up.

Warden H. L. Hulburt is extending this branch of prison work by making the street signs of Jackson an unusu­ ally complete system, and already there is promise of inspection of these signs, With a view to purchase, from officials at Flint, Muskegon, Three Rivers, Bagfnaw Md other places. Although work in tho sign stamping and enameling plants of the prison is usually alack at this season, the last few months have been record ones for those plants, prison industry officials say. An order of 800,000 pairs of auto­ mobile license plates for Michigan, 199,000 pairs for Alabama has just been comyHoted by the shops. At present, a number’ of police order signs for tho city of Jackson are being made and sev­ eral orders for street markers are ex­ pected in the near future. Officials of the prison industries said that 2,400,000 pounds of rolled steel had been used in sign making during the past year. About 30 men are employed in the stamping plant where the signs are cut out, stamped and washed. In the enam­ eling plant, the signs are dipped into enamel and heated in conveying ovens for an hour at a temperature of 375 degrees. They are then inked and heat­ ed for another hour at 250 degrees tem­ perature. Varnishing and heating for another hour at 250 degrees completes ** emthe process. About 27 men are ployed in the enameling plant. FEEEPORT.

Ever since Adam realised his need for Eve in the Garden of Eden, wom­ en have been preached to by writers, preachers and others who make them­ selves heard, that It is a woman’s duty to hold her husband by keeping herself attractive, making the home a place of comfort and joy, and by giv­ ing her husband the inspiring, sympa­ thetic companionship and understand­ ing without which a man could never hope to rise to anything really worth This is truly a beautiful sentiment and a suggestion which few women overlook. Every woman, I believe, tries very hard to do just that—to givo her husband all sho promised— and more. But how many men live up to their bargain! "Keep yourself attractive!"—How can any woman keep herself attractive when the drudgery of sweeping rugs, washing and ironing clothes, saps her vitality—her very strength and leaves her weary and haggard! Under such circumstances, how can a man expect his wife to live up to her bargain when he has fallen so short in fulfilling his part. I wonder what sort of human be ings would come home to us in the evening if wc took the telephones and typewriters out of men’s' offices and made them walk to and from their places of business. Yet a man thinks nothing of permitting his wife to do her housework in the old-fashioned way without ever raising a hand to give her cheapest servants of all—electrical appliances. These are as necessary in the home as the telephone, typewriter and subway or cars that carry men to work. Happiness is not as elusive as many people would have us believe. It has always been my contention that with a little intelligent thought almost any­ one can find happiness. A charming­ ly furnished and decorated living room, dining room and bedroom does not constitute a home—not by any means. Where the woman does her own work, the kitchen is the soul of the home. It should be as properly, if not better equipped, than any other room in the house. In short, a home is a place where the people who live there are as comfortable as the rooms look. A woman who is obliged to keep her homo clean, bring up children and cook meals, cannot do without the aid of electric vacuum cleaner, dishwasher, clothes washer, irooer, and range. No woman dan without these helps keep her youth and vitality and remain attractive. —Sallie E. Davidson.

HASTINGS PHONE 2257 ==3S �We Paid the Milk Producers of Barry County More Than $1,226,000 Since July, 1917 We have always furnished a good market for all the milk brought to us regardless of good times or bad. Since the above date we have paid 20% to 25% more to the Barry County Farmers for their milk than they had been receiving. Last year, 1923, We Paid the Milk Producers About Here $211,709.77 During December Just Past We Paid the Milk Producers Here $16,834.84 Barry county is especially well adapted to raising and keeping good dairy herds at a pleasing profit to the owners thereof. Barry county can be made one of the wealthiest counties in Michigan by developing the dairying business—the soil is just right—the water facilities are fine—the clijnatic conditions are good—and with silos and improved herds, farms that are now worth $100 or $150 per acre can be made worth $250 to $300 per acre. We urge the farmers of Barry county to give greater attention to their dairying interests. Carried on vigorously Barry county can easily be dou­ bled in valuation. • If there had been no market for the milk produced upon the farms about Hastings during the past six or seven years those farmers would have been short over 1% MILLION DOLLARS Too often we accept the advantages and blessings we enjoy as we go along without giving much thought to the reason why, or who, or what is responsible for them. We believe it is well for us all to stop once in a while and take a look back and see just how far we have come, and by what means we reached our present state of prosperity. Our Milk Receipts Today Are Much Greater Than a Year Ago All the above facts we have given show that dairying is on the gain and that those who have been patrons of this company are satisfied, and their friends and neighbors are profiting by the advantages they have enjoyed. During the past six years and more we have tried to be of real help to the farmers and dairymen of this vicinity and we believe we have, as the above figures will plainly indicate, and not alone this,— These statements are not mythical—but actual facts as are proven by our books. Also proven by the experiences of other sections of Michigan where dairying has been on a rapid increase until the farmers of those sections have become wealthy and are now maintaining magnificent dairy herds of reg­ istered stock We urge you to take this seriously and plan for an increase of your dairying business and also work toward improving your present herd. We are pleased to render any and and every service we possibly can to aid in this work. It is to our mutual interest. It will help build up your coun­ ty 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. . ’ We Have Constantly Urged the Improvement of Dairy Herds With Pure Bred Sires —and are pleased with the splendid progress made during these few years past. Many milk producers are bringing us much more milk from the same number of cows than they were doing six years ago—yes, even two years ago. This shows that there is a steady tendency toward greater milk-pro­ ducing cows. Arctic ' Cream Company .

A LITTLE TALK ABOUT White Lily Flour We believe gardless of how many times we may mention it. Our talk is about a flour we know you will be interested There’s a Reason Don’t Experiment for our wanting to impress it upon your mind Jhat 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 thia flour before and have purchased a trial sack, have been no 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 sella for the same low price that inferior brands sell for.

If the income of a married person is (2,000 or more, it is necessary that you file an income tax return.

E. Knappen of Grand. Rapids, whose splendid record as a judge has brought honor to his country and to himself. Judge Knappeu was born in Hastings, graduated from the Hastings schools, completed a course at the Michigan University, returning to Hastings where he began the study of law. He soon became a leader of the bar of Barry County, served os prosecuting attorney for two terms. And later a good open­ ing for him developed at Grand Rapids, so he moved to that city. Though ho became a leader of the Grand Rapids bar, and was elevated to a federal judgeship, he never lost interest in his home town nor his many fnends here, who have taken pride and pleasure in the fine career of Judge Knappen, as a lawyer and as a federal judge. TREATED LEGISLATORS L KE SCHOOLBOYS SPEAKER WELOH OPPOSED REAPPORTIONMENT BILL WOULD NOT LISTEN TO COLLEAGUES Elected on "No Wayne County Oonce»ioni" Platform, He Said Sometime ago the BANNER com­ mented upon the fact that the Michigan legislature, at its special session, ad­ journed without re-districting the state. The BANNER, in its comments at the time, it will be remembered, stated that it was only fair that consideration be given to the character of the groat increase in population that has been added to the city of Detroit since the apportionment was made twelve years ago. It would be a sorry day for Mich­ igan if the un-Americanized elements that have poured into Detroit in re­ cent years, were to have a practi­ cal veto power upo'n legislation at Lansing by giving to the city of De­ troit the representation in the legisla­ ture, which she would ba entitled to on the basis of population alone. Unques­ tionably some increase should be granted to Detroit because its popula­ tion has been increased by the influx of many native stock Americana, but to confer upon the thousands of Ital­ ians, Hungarians, Poles and Slavs, who have located in Detroit since 1910, a virtual veto of legislation in Michigan wpuld be suicidal in our judgment. They have not in any real sense of that term become Americanized. In our previous comment we stated that the fact that the governor had treated the members of the legislature as if they were a lot of school boys, lacking proper judgment and ability to comprehend a situation, was also a fac­ tor in causing the defeat of a re-apportionment bill at the special session. It was well understood from sources close enough to the governor to be ab­ solutely official, that Governor Groes­ beck contemplated having the legisla­ ture take up amendments to the auto­ mobile laws, such as the gasoline tax and the weight tax.

The urgent need of new homes in Hastings makes this action by the Commercial elub very timely. President Reed has named the fol­ lowing committee to report at the next meeting with recommendations as to what shall be done: Aben E. Johnson, chairman; M. A. Lambie, H. G. Hayes, Chas. Potts and M. L. Cook. It is hoped that this committee will be able to formulate some plan that will make it possible to build several new houses in Hastings this year. The functions of a Building and Loan association aro three: One, to provide a way by which houses can be built on contract with not leas than 25 per cent equity on the part of the homo owner in the proposed home to bo built and which can be paid for by small monthly or semi-monthly pay­ ments. Two, to provide a means of investment for people with money to invest, on which they wish to realize a fair interest rate. Three, to provide a means of saving, by which weekly or monthly payments can bo made so that with the accumulated payments and in­ terest thereon the one who is thus ac­ cumulating may ultimately have enough with which to take care of at least 25 per cent of the cost of a home which he may wish to build. It is very difficult at the present time to get money to invest in loans on real estate. That is because of the largo amount of tax exempt bonds and stocks that are being sold, and because banks are usually unfavorable to loan­ ing on long time. Banks prefer shorttime paper. The unwillingness of banks to loan on contracts at all, and the fact that money loaners will not loan on contract, practically makes it impossi­ ble for a man with cash resources amounting to but 25 per cent of the cost of a home to secure the other 75 per cent so that he can build. And even if he is fortunate to have 50 per eent of the cost of a home, it is hard, under present conditions, to borrow the other 50 per eent. Right hero is where a Building and Loan association can function. Banks and money loaners Continuod on page four. TELEPHONE DEMON­ STRATION ON FRIDAY Officials Gave Practical Ex'hibition to Rural Sub­ scribers On Friday, January 11, the Michi­ gan Bell Telephone Company gave « practical demonstration of its switch­ board service at the Odd Fellows Hall, Hastings, to a large and enthusiastic body of. farmers who had been invited to the meeting. The Demonstration Board consisted of a small section of the regular cen­ tral office switchboard, and one of the regular operators explained the opera­ tion of same in detail, and how con­ nections were made and service handled, with the aid of two regular telephone sets. A practical demonstration of the 44wrong" way, and "right’* way of placing calls and answering the tele­ phone was shown. This was followed by explanation by a regular operator of the various classes of long distance calls. A motion picture of two reels— "The Story of the Telephone’’ was also shown. A demonstration was given of the proper maintenance of farm lines, which included wire exhibits, and proper method of making connections was ex­ plained. Considerable discussion en­ sued in which many questions wore asked and information furnished the representatives of the farm line com­ panies present. This meeting was called primarily for the purpose of obtaining a betterment of the service, and it was a great suc­ cess, and it is felt so far as rural lines are concerned, the results will be far reaching. There are 29 rural line com­ panies whose lines eonneet with the central office at Hastings. These sub­ scribers are for the most part in Barry County, and the total number is 454. This meeting was held under the di­ rection of J. E. McElwain, Manager, Everett Wilson, Plant Chief of Has­ tings, C. E. Wilde, Division Manager, Geo. Collins, Division Plant Manager, and B.

This statement is made to offset any erroneous impression that may be current regarding the First Annual Indoor Circus to be given by the American Legion on The Indoor Circus is not to be in any sense an amateur performance. The two and one-half hour program to bo presented in the circus ring will consist of high class profession­ al acts which are being brought to Hastings by the American Legion at no small expense. Among other features there will be a.troupe of eight trained ponies and mules and one of the best known aerial teams in the outdoor show world which is coming from their winter quarters in Columbus, Ohio. Local people will appear on the program but in each instance these people have experience and ability that will enable them to present acts of merit. No local characters in make-up will appear in the side show. The freaks and animals advertised have been secured by the Legion from an organized traveling show and will positively be on exhibition. The Laurence J. Bauor Post No. 45 American Legion will present a real circus on the dates advertised. We aim to merit - and hold the re­ spect of the public. Take a tip— don’t miss the circus.

Gradually the city has become rid of the families who for years have beer, on the rolls for help; and the commis­ sion arc working to make this a per­ manent condition, as much as is within their power. Needy cases de not suffer, but if a man can work he has to, and not live at the expense of the city taxpayers. AMERICA OFFERS SENSIBLE PUN WILL SOLVE EUROPE’S REPARATION PROBLEM IF IT IS FOLLOWED GEN. DAWES TALKS STRAIGHT TO OUR ALLIES "Help Germany to Get Well," He Urges, "Then She Can Pay Reparations" 'fhe part which America can ami ought to play in aiding Europe to set­ tle her difficult problems is being beautifully illustrated right now. The United States government will never take any part in adjusting Europe’s quarrels that will involve us in any manner unless those quarrels endanger the safety and progress of this nation, as did the iniquitous World war which Germany started. The one matter upon which peace and possible prosperity in Europe now hinges is the payment of reparations by Germany to France, Belgium, Italy and England for damage inflicted by Germany’s land, sea and air forces. It is conceded that the German gov. erument in its present situation cannot now pay reparations. Germany’s busi­ ness and financial affairs are chaotie. Until that can be greatly improved, Germany cannot pay. France has tried the method of force by occupying the Ruhr valley. Very little has been ac­ complished except to force Germany to see that she lost the war and is a conquered country. That is some gain, but it will bring no money until Ger­ many’s budget is balanced and her people can get busy producing again. England, France, Italy and Belgium could not agree on the policy to be pursued to force Germany to pay. Eng­ land wants trade with Germany so her 2.500.000 of unemployed can get work again. France wants cash or its equiv­ alent in raw materials from Germany. The French people are all busy, so France could not look nt the reparations ques­ tion from the same angle as England, and each was selfishly intent on its own plan, with Belgium backing France and Italy supporting England. There the matter was deadlocked. Both the French and English gov­ ernments appealed to our government to enter the reparations council as one of the allies.

DERWENT OPEPATION Former Service Men From Barry County Entitled to Hospital Care It will be remembered that the Bar­ ry County Loyalty League turned over funds remaining in its hands, after the proper legal steps had been taken, to the Pennock Hospital. It was stipu­ lated that this was to furnish 365 days •>f tree hospital bed service to Barry County’s former service men. This free bed service also was to include the services of the nurse. The question arose last week as to how this gift should be interpreted. Mr. Harley Pursell, who enlisted in the United States army during the World war had. since his discharge, moved to Grand Rapids. A major operation in his case became necessary, and he was brought to Pennock hospital to have that operation performed. The ques­ tion arose: Is Mr. Pursell, under the circumstances, entitled to the free hos­ pital service by reason of the fact that he had moved out of Barry County since his discharge, although he served as a Barry county boy in the army! The authorities of the hospital have ruled that Mr. Pursell is entitled to this service. They have ruled that, to entitle themselves to this service any former service man must have enlisted or have been inducted into service from Barry County, and that whether he has since moved away to any other locality or not, should make no differ­ ence if he returned to this county and to Pennock hospital for treatment. The reason for this action was that the gifts were made to the Loyalty League largely, if not wholly, because of Barry County’s representatives in rhe American army and were to be used, as far as practicable and possible, to assist Barry County’s men in the service; and that, therefore, what re­ mained in the Loyalty League treasury should be used, through Pennoek Hos­ pital. in aiding those who went to war from Barry County. This will naturally prevent a former service man, who, we will say, enlisted in any other county than Barry or any other state than Michigan, but now lives in Barry County, from the free bed privilege at Pennock hospital But it is felt that this is a fair ruling because Jhe original gifts were made to help men who went out from Barry County and who were residents of Barry Coun­ ty when they enlisted. The hospital authorities want to have it understood that the benefits of the hospital arc to be extended to all Barry County men whether they enlisted or were taken through the selected draft or by their voluntary enlistment. They are all entitled to the benefit of the free bed service at Pennock Hospital, whether they served in the American army or navy during the World war.

Offl, of Ann Arbor, who taught in Hastings High school two years and has many frienda hero, is studying at Columbia College. New York City, thia year, for her Master’s degree. Along with her college work she is enjoying many of the advantages the big city offers in numerous ways, among them being the Reconciliation Trips given under the auspices of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, whose headquarters are at 396 Broadway. Miss Gill is serving as secretary of the 'social service committee of the College Young Women’s Christian Association, and they have interested the Teachers ’ College girls in following the programs of the Reconciliation trips which cover ** a course of several weeks, and occur on Friday, under leadership of a regu­ lar guide of the Reconciliation Fellow­ ship. The purpose of the trips is to provide a means of contact with folks unfamil­ iar to the average American, to hear their view-point, to receive their aims first hand, to learn the real menace or benefit their doctrines may mean to our life and civilisation. The students go in groups and visit labor and radical headquarters; con­ servative strongholds; Colored Harlem; mystic centers; Jewish centers; Hobo hall, and many other unusual places. At Mrs. Cook's request Miss Gill promised to take notes, and write for reproduction in the BANNER her observations on these trips the first of which follows and we arc sure will be of interest in many ways even though one may not bo in accord with the doc­ trines promulgated. It goes to show the extent to which some of these unus­ ual and, to many, disturbing theories are being fostered in America, and whether there is danger in the freedom of speech allowed. Miss Gill writes: In this letter I will outline only the features of the November 9th excur­ sion and later will tell you about Col­ ored Harlem, Mystic and Jewish revelationa Bishop Paul Jones, formerly of the Diocese of Utah, is now ardently de­ voting his' time to promoting Pacifist firopaganda. The keynote of all his oetures sounded the power of love in all cases of life. He maintains that the sincere spiritual love of Christ has not been tested in matters of state so we cannot claim its troth a fallacy. To turn one’s other cheek to an assalient is not enough, one should ac­ tively create love for the, malefactor, which reminds me that Reverend Harry Fosdick declared before his Union The­ ological students recently that he will suffer the pacifists’ beliefs in case the United States undertakes another war.

McGaw, of Pittsburgh, spoke Sunday evening nt a union serv­ ice at the Methodist church on “The Banish«*d Book and tho Bad Boy.” It was a very clear and logical address, and was listened to with the closest attention by the large congregation present. Dr. McGnw stated that in 35 states tho Bible was rend without comment by teachers in the public schools. In most of them this is permissible but not absolutely required. In the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Mass­ achusetts this Bible reading in manda­ tory, at least 12 verses must be read each morning by every teacher in city or country, without comment, and the 10 commandments must be committed to memory by the pupils. In commenting on the harm that had been done to the young by the failure to know anything about God’s Word, tho speaker instanced the increase in juvenile crimes, and the number of ma­ jor crimes committed by young men in their teens or early twenties. That there is a vital connection between tho lack of Bibie rending in the schools and crime Dr. McGaw proved by com­ parison of Massachusetts and Illinois. In the former the city population as well as foreign-born population orc rela­ tively larger than in Illinois; so that on that basis the cost per capita of crime ought to be larger in Massachu­ setts than in Illinois. As a matter of fact tho cost is but one-third as much in Massachusetts. He pointed out that that section of the U. 8., tho states of Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Mon­ tana, Nevada and California, where the Bible had been banished from the schools by legislative act, was the part where the L W. W. and Socialism are rampant, and where there was decided opposition to American participation in the World war and the most flagrant defiance of American ideals of law and order. Dr. McGaw believed that there is a dose connection between such law­ lessness and law-defying as prevail in these states and the banishment of the Bible from the public schools. Ho insisted that there was not and never must bo any denominational ef­ fort to get the Bible back upon the teacher’s desk. He hoped for the day wlrn all Christians could unite in all things, ns they snould in this matter People whi belong to no church at nil wish American ideals preserved and per­ petuated. The Supreme Court of the United States had, in a legal decision, defined ours us a Christian country. The teachings of the Bible are the very foundation of our democracy. “How then,” he asked, “can these be pre­ served if our schools, whose first busi­ ness is to teach citizenship and to train the young in the fundamentals of our American -eitiroaship, do not impart knowledge of that Book on whose teach­ ings our American democracy is found­ ed!” .

Olinr Greenfield, Boutin**’ .oeond oldest ourrivin* pioneer ho. written the following rondnineonCM ot Me u HMting, in the early day which will be of interest to many of our readers and wo hope will be followed by more artteles from the same pen: Looking across tho widening chasm of the years, I see, as if passing in re­ view, many events, changes and epochs in the life and growth of Hastings. First and foremost the condition and aspect of the little wild and woolly settlement as it appeared to me when a boy at the receptive age of /even years in the early forty’s, that decade of marsh hay, quinine, twenty-five cent postage and wild eat money; marsh hay for the oxen and quinine for the shak­ ing pioneera. In 1644 it took four days to eome from Buffalo to Hastings; one day up Lake Erie to Detroit; one day from De­ troit to Marshall, the western terminus of the Michigan Central railroad there, then two days by team to Hastinp. Now we make it in twelve hours—quite a change in the mode of transportation. In the evening of the second day out of Marshall, as the sun was sending it, last glints through the tree tops, we suddenly came out of the woods into a clearing and stopped at a_log house; this proved to be a hotel in Has­ tings, two stories on the ground and standing where the Cool and Dooley garage now is. Quite a number of the villagers were there, and to me, a strange class of people; strange in dress, color and language. These I soon came to know and to learn were the first and original American citirens misnamed “Indians.” Recalling some of their names—first win be Chief Paeketaah. UD and straight with a dignified bearing and wearing the in­ signia of his office, next comes Aska ■aw, Bundago, Bobby, Skippergosh and Waukaxoo. et al; al! gone to the happy hunting grounds. There were fifteen families of the first pioneers here at that time; namclv, George FuDer, Levi Chase, Abner Pannlee, H. A. Goodyear, Vespasian Young, W. W. Ralph, John Lothridge, Daniel Cook, John W. Stebbins, Elijah Alden, Willard Hayes, Daniel McLel­ lan, Dr. Upjohn, H. J. Kenfield, Henry Jennings and Harvey Horton. The next year, ’45, I became acquainted with 6. B. Sheldon, Hernan I. Knappen, Nathan Barlow. I. A. Holbrook, Dr. John Roberts and J. W. T. Orr, all gone to their reward. In 1846, when nine years old, I lived with my parents in a log house on the lot direetly west of the court house, now known as ths Dr. Upjohn property. Daniel Cook lived in a one story frame house on the site o? the Dr. Lowry residence; these, with the Court House recently finished and a road cut up to tho burying ground, which was the east half of the park, was all there was then of what is now Broadway boulevard. State Street was cut through from Fall creek to Broad­ way but the stumps and haxelnut brush held possession on either side of the road most of the way. The forest came well up to State St. on the north, Court St. on the south and Church St. on the west. The area of the clearing was about three city blocks on which the timber had been cut off and partially cleared. Tho summer of 1846 we boys noticed a road had been cut down north on Broadway to the river and men going down there, following them we found they wore raising a bridge, very much unlike the new cement bridge of today. With no modern machinery it took every available pound of force with only pike poles, a rope and strong arm muscles to raise the heavy oak vents and stringers, so we boys pulled on the ropes, anticipating Crago by about 76 years, in bridge building. With 1847 came the excitement of tho Mexican war; a war for conquest and the extension of slavery, not very popu­ lar but the slave power was in the sad­ dle and it had to go through. Five en­ listed in Hastings, Albert Tabor and Levi Chase died in Detroit. Bill Seavey and John Van Arman went into Mexico Harve Horton changed his mind and did not go. One verse of a Mexican war song I recall yet: “The cry of war runs through the land. For volunteers to go, And fight in the war for slavery, On the plains of Mexico. Seven dollars a month and shot at that. Is a common soldier’s pay. While those who send the poor fel­ lows there. Get eight dollars a day?’ Very little of old Hastings remains today, only two houses standing noyr. I know of only one, possibly two, now living, who can locate them,or say how many log houses there were in the set­ tlement eighty years ago. D. G. T. O. CLUB.

After a helpful Bible study, the club adjourned to the gym where different games were played. Colon Bchaibly and Car! B»uor were evidently not very greatly impressed by the Bible study, however, as was shown when they went to the gym. It will be remembered that there was some little trouble between them some time ago which resulted in a suit for slander by Colon against Carl last week. Carl was declared guilty but not being satisfied with the verdict of the twelve impartial lady member* of the jury, he challenged Colon to a firtie encount­ er to settle their differences. Colon, being exceedingly innocent and harm­ less, readily accepted and the bout took place in the gym immediately 'after the Hi-Y meeting. The battle was full of thrill* and on the whole a bloody one, Carl being a skilled debater had the best of the argument. He pom­ meled Colon at will and badly bruised him many times. Colon showed marked ability to assimulate punishment but was weak on the punch. During the bout, Bchaibly suffered several minor injuries. He was hit many times in the fracas, and lost three teeth, sprained one wrist, disjointed two fingers, In­ cured two eracked ribs and a broken nose besides several other more serious hurt*. He fought on, however, and won the applause of all for his bravery. Finally, due to the fact that both eyes were closed and he could not see, he accidently stepped on his* opponent’* foot. The referee called it a foul and the bout* wa* stopped. The villian, Carl Bauer, was unscathed. Hi* breath came in ordinary heave* and not an atom of hi* shleky hair wa* displaced. It is indeed sad to think that two such prominent members of the Hi-Y should descend to such low depths oY barbar­ ism and savagery as to find it necessary to settle a difference by eave man meth­ od*. about the speed, but you will find that most of those who do not follow in­ structions do not get their speed until they try the right method. If I only dared, I'd like to tell a few things I’m sure would help them." "Well as long as we can’t speak, we must stand the wear and tear, and let them learn for themselves.

The first point you reach of real interest is the Dalles, Here the river is'filled with huge, towering rochs that have been worn Into all kinds of shapes by the water. The highway from here on follows at the foot of the bluff of from 400 to 800 feet and near the wa­ ter, the bluffs being covered with fir trees. Thea every little way some ereek comes tumbling over the bluff in a most wonderful water-fall, some of them quite large streams. And, as you stand there and watch the spray fall into the pool at the foot of the bluff without hardly creating a ripple, it is difficult to believe that the stream flowing out of the pool all came down in that spray. It surely is • wonderful drive and doubtless worthy of the claims mode. We stopped at Hood river, where the famous apples ere grown. A sign as you enter tho town informs you that fifty years ago Hood river adopted the honost-pack for apples, that is place as good apples on the top of the box as on tho bottom and established a repu­ tation for their apples whieh they have always held. Bo the fame of Hood Biver rests on their own statement, upon an idea more than upon their apples. We foand Portland to be a nice, clean and hustling eity, with fine buildings. At this point the Willamette, pro­ nounced by the natives Will-lamb Mt, river joins the Columbia and nearly doubles the amount of water from here to tho sea. Wo followed this river out to the south through a fruit-growing ' section interspersed with farming. ' Here we encountered the loganberry, . tho juice of whieh is much in demand * in the east ns a beverage. They grow *, on vines, not unlike blackberries, but c aro trained on wires like grapes. The > crop was harvested before we arrived. » Wo were too late to virit Crater Lake, which is a lake about 3 miles by 6 miles ; in the top of an old volcanic crater in J the southern part of Oregon. Its alti- * tude made snow almost a certainty. We had quite a surprise awaiting us * as we left Oregon for California, for in i doing so wo had to cross the Siskiyou ' mountains, and it is 9 miles up one • side and 14 down the other, and high . enough to be doridodly chilly. It was ■ hero that a daring train robbery oc- : curred about the first of October. We , passed within a hundred rods of where > it occurred. On coming down, we saw e a sign whieh said California state line. » So at last we were in California, but ‘ still nearly 500 mile* from our destina- ‘ tion. After traveling southward for [ sometime we struck tho head waters , of the Sacramento river and followed ‘ its valley for nearly 300 miles. In its j upper reaches, it contains brook trout * and the season being on, wo encountered i a number of fishermen. The country • is wooded and the scenery very pretty, > but the valley is narrow and very ’ mountainous. We passed Mount Shanti • with its cap of snow and Mount Las­ sen, also snow-capped, whieh is Amer- < tea’s only active volcano, though it ' was not smoking as we name by. There ? two mountains are nearly 100 miles apart, yet you can see them both at the .. same time. We had the privilege of seeing both ; the capitol of Oregon at Salem and of v California at Sacramento. It is only about 50 miles south of ~ Sacramento where the trail leads off for the Yose­ mite valley, but again wc were advised that it was too late in the season to at­ tempt the trip as the altitude would mean snow at any time now, so we passed on to the south and at Kingsburgh friends joined us in a trip to Grant park, the home of California's largest trees. This is also in the top of the mountain, but accessible even at this time of the year. It was a trip of some 65 miles, nearly half of whieh was mountainous. It was, however, worth the elimb. We saw the stump from whieh the section was taken that was exhibited at the World's Fair. Forty men and horses have been placed on this stump at one time. The General Grant tree is over 30 feet in diameter and 300 feet tall. It is thrifty in ap­ pearance, and as it was quite a husky tree when Moses wrote the ten com­ mandments, it ia likely to stand for sometime to come. This grove contains probably 100 large trees, some nearly as large as the General Grant. There arc also several other groves in other C.rts of California with trees equally rge, so there is little danger of their disappearing as some people contend. You have no doubt repeated the ehildish verse about raisin, raisin-dried in the aun. Well, it was most interesting as we came through the Ban Joaquin, pronouncod 8an-Waa-Keen, valley to see this proeesa actually going on, for the grapes are picked and actually laid on papers or wooden trays beside the vines for the sun to dry. And con­ trary to my norion, no sugar is added to give them their sweet taste, for the grapes arc of themselves very swoet when ripe, so when they are sun dried, the sugar almost oozes out. After dry­ ing they are placed in large wooden trays and stacked in the field for fur­ ther curing, then they, are taken to the packing house where they are run through a large machine, whieh not only takes the raisins fjpm the stems, but grades them according to size into three grades, the small ones are the seedless, and then there are two and three crown as they are called. It seemed almost unbelievable that raisins were produced in such quantities, for they were brought into the packing houses with four-horse teams and trucks in loads that contained several tons each. They were selling at 4c and 5c n pound as they eame from the field and at 7e from the packing house. Our next stop was , at Bahersfield where one sees a regulhr forest of oil derricks and tanks, and there are re­ servoirs in the ground that must be better than 600 feet in diameter. It is not surprising that gasoline is selling here ns low as 9c a gallon when one sees the magnitude of California hi pro­ duction. From Bakersfield we ~had an­ other range of mountains to cross be­ fore we reached our destination. This was dons safely, and we pulled into Los Angeles aboat 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon, October 27th., a bit weary but satisfied with our trip to the land of the setting sen.

The BANNER ia indebted to Mr. and[ Mrs. John Brandstetter of Milo for ths( following interesting letter from their. eourin, Eli Doster, well known in the, southern part of Barry county because, ’ Prairieville Twp. Los Angeles, Calif., November 10, 1023. Well, here we are at last in the land_ of sunshine, having arrived October 27th after a strenuous trip of aome- rare contia1 days’ lay-off at Groton, South Dakota. That you may know just what hap’ be interesting to read on some cold1 winter’s evening, we are taking the1 liberty of addressing you. As above stated we left Doster Sep­ tember 29th, taking the state road to1 1 roads were superb and we camped the first night about 20 miles north of Chicago. The country was very beau­ tiful with autumnal foliage showing up and tho orchards loaded with their rich burdens of tempting fruit. We reached Chicago at the busiest hour of the day and it was with difficulty that we squeezed our way through the traffic •f Michigan avenue and out Sheridan Drive toward Milwaukee. We were a bit late in arriving at the Forest Beservo eamping grounds but breathed a sigh of relief that Chicago was behind us. Oar first night in camp developed the fact that ths mosquito family still exists in strong battalions in the vicin­ ity of Chicago. However, there is one comforting thought and that is that all frost as wo journeyed northward. Wo reached MHwaukee before noon but did presred by its substantial buildings. It is s bit surprising to realise that oticeable that the character of uatry had changed and with it nd of farming earned on, for (ria Js pronouncedly a dairv tergi herds of Holstein -tattle I our gave all along the road, i a pleasing sight that greeted re xs we rounded the southern tmrse through a country fanning land in spots, CAPITAL, $75,000.00 very pretty park, and a population of something better than 5,000. It is probably Montana's oldest city, but is not to be coppered with some of the newer cities farther west. At this point let me call your attention to the geo­ graphy of Montana, for having traveled its length, which ia cast and west, I fully realise its magnificent distances It is about 500 milea as the crow flies and some 800 the way tho road goes. The scenery is very pretty, largely bluffs and mountains except for ths river valley. About 100 miles out of Miles City, we passed within 50 miles of Custer's last stand against tha In­ dians on the Little Big Horn. We wort told that the battle field ia marked with monuments, but as the roads were uncertain, we did not take this side­ trip. One can realize, however, from the surrounding country what General Custer must have been up against with a wily foe, who knew the lay of the land. As you go down the Yellowstone, the valley widens out, and I never knew ao many sugar beets were grown anywhere on earth. They were being harvested as we passed through and the ride tracks were jammed with loaded cars with hundreds of other train-loadi to follow. It would seem that Mon­ tana alone would produce sugar enough for the whole country. This seems to be a prosperous country and has some large towns and several cities of around 25,000, which makes you forget where you are geographically. If you have followed the trail, you will see that we pass through Living­ rather swiftly and was bringing down stone, whieh is the westerly entrance logs and other driftwood from the re­ to Yellowstone Park, and 55 miles discent heavy rain, one felt a trifle un­ certain as to whether or not he was go­ ly dosed, though we were advised that ing to land oa the opposite bank. But 'we could go through, but that there they heeded the craft upstream in the was danger of snow falling and block­ yellow water, and we proceeded errib- ing the roads in the higher altitudes, like to be carried sidewise across the and as wo had two mountain passes stream, which here is about 40 rods ahead of us where there were similar wide.' We managed to make a landing conditions, we decided io pass up the and breathed another sigh of relief as park trip. So we turned northward and we made our way by many -turns up passed through the first mountain pass the west bank. We noticed, as we 40 miles out of Livingstone. Here we went along, many horses grazing on the encountered a slushy snow, but made it short grass of the rolling bills and were without difficulty. As we eame down advised that this was the land of horse on the other aide of the mountain, we and cattle ranches that we were enter­ came into a fertile valley where wheat ing. This proved correct as for miles goes as high as 60 bushels to the aero the country is mostly devoted to this and where is located the city of Boat­ purpose, though from time to time one man, where tho Wild West round-tg) runs into wheat and grain fanners. As is held every year. The city is modern wo journeyed along we crossed one cor­ with a.eoUege, but you do see a large ner of the Dakota bad lands with its' number of cow boys on the streets, and buttes and hills, which we would call they surely know bow to ride. mountains. We proceeded for about Ono of tho strangest sights on the 250 miles in a northwesterly direction, the road going from one town to the trip was our entry into the city of ether for the most part over a hilly, Butte. You eome down out of the biaek soil. Most of the towns are small, mountains on tho southeast and there about 500, a few larger, one or two had aeross a wide valley odo ean see the populations of 6/XX). This continued whole city of Butto as if it were plas­ until we reached the town of Fallon on tered against the mountain on the op­ posite of the valley. It seems incred­ the Yellowstone river. At Fallon wo entered the valley of ible that you are looking at a city of 10,000 people or more, with streets and the Yellowstone, and ----- - *“ fine large, brick buildings, and the Sometimes whole of the eity before your eyss looking like a toy village. The decep­ here there tion is due solely to a clear atmosphere and distance which cannot be renliaod for the sign posts tell yon that it is ten miles to Butte, and you seem to make the country an the upper atretehee is no progress toward the eity though Sw speed-star savsywu aro making miles ao hour. But at last ire reach­ about noon and immediately left for Minneapolis some 15 miles away. This is a bustling city of some 400,000 popu­ lation, with clean streets, fine buildings and wonderful parks. Some of the parks have Whole lakes in them and the water is clear and pretty. But we did not stop long to look at the beauties of nature on account of antieipated cold weather, though we did stop to take a look at Minnehaha Falls, which is a pretty sight though some of the water of the stream that forms the* falls has been diverted, thus robbing it of much of its original grandeur. From here we speeded westward over a rolling prairie country, largely given over to the growing of grain, though you see some fine dairy herds. We arrived at Groton the afternoon of our sixth day out from Michigan. This is where Cornelia and Clara five, and we found them nearly ready to close their homes and take to the trail with ns. After two days’ rest and preparation we again took to the road which led westward through Aberdeen and out over prairies with their hards of cattle and hay stacks to Mobridge, North Dakota, a town on the Missouri river. I might say that all the way from Chicago wo had been following the Yellowstone Trail and continued to follow it to Spokane, Washington. As we left Mobridge wo went down to the bank of the river and had our first ex­ perience of being ferried across a river. The ferry consisted of a stern wheel ferry boat, a bit creaky with HASTINGS ed the eity and a real city it is; and whisper this quietly to the ladies, that Butte is the first eity in the United States to get the new styles and so has the best dressed women. We pass on to Anaconda, which has the largest copper smelting plant in the world. This whole country is de­ voted to mining and it is here that cop­ per is king. Except for its mountain scenery, tho country has little to at­ tract, so we head for tho Missoula river valley, where mining is conducted ns a joint interest with fruit growing, as some of the good apples of the west are grown in this valley. But we has­ ten on, as wo still have the Bitter Boot mountains to go ovex and snow is em­ inent. As we reach the summit of the first camel ’■ hump, tho grade is so steep that the gravity feed of the Ford can't work though the gas tank is full, so we extend a tow-line and aro soon up. The mountains are here covered with beautiful fir trees, and it surely w*s a good sight to look at. As we reached the top of the second camel's hump, we saw a sign which said Idaho state line. As the state is narrow east and west at this point, we journeyed on ex­ pectantly toward Spokane. As we did so, we passed the Cour-de-lene lakes, which are the prettiest bodies of water we encountered. The water is clear and nestling down among the mountain with their fir-covered slopes, they are a veritable picture. From the Cour-de-lene lakes to Spok­ ane is about 35 miles. The road is paved all the way, and on either side are almost solid apple orchards with the reddest and riehest-looking apples one could wish to see. The trees were loaded, which made it look like a pros­ perous country. We found Spokane io be a very pretty eity, but not overly prosperous at this time owing, no doubt, to the slump in agricultural products. From here wo turned south through the wheat country of eastern Washington and Oregon. This is undoubtedly the greatest wheat raising section of the United States. There are wheat farm­ ers here who have as high as ten thou­ sand acres of land. This land is rolling; so rolling, in fact, that you wonder in places how they cultivate it, and when they do cultivate it that it is not wash­ ed all to pieces. Well, the land ia .a dark, prairie soil and is so rieh, though they only sow half their laud each year and the summer following, the other half, so they pursue a sort of dry farm­ ing tactics, although it does rain cob siderable, but sever hard enough to wash the ground. We were told the average crop was around 30 busheb, though some went as high ns 60. Theje wheat fields and nothing but wheat fields reach from near Spokane to with­ in 75 miles of the Columbia river.

Report of the Hastings City Mission for 1923 I am pleased to give you herewith the record including receipts and disbursements of the Mission for the year 1923. I acknowledge with a heart full of gratitude the assistance given by the donors of money, to the women who have so faithfully given their time to the sewing, visiting and caring for the sick, to the Mission Board, who have co-operated with us in han­ dling the different interests of the Mission and for the fine friendly spirit shown by individ­ uals and the community towards our work. I trust that in reading the report you will not estimate the good done by dollars and centa, for there were many quilts and garments handed out that were made over with practically no expense, besides the many sick folks aided, which costs us but little more than the time put in. Eternity will only reveal the cheer and comfort brought to the inmates of the County Home and jail. We have tried to be faithful in the past year Jay spending every dollar carefully, show­ ing no respect of persons, serving everybody alike, and fulfilling my mission as a God-called man, in the service of His Kingdom. With the help of God we shall endeavor to make 1924 a better year of service to Barry county than ever before. May God's blessings be upon this LAKE ODESSA. Geo.

Heat your home with GENUINE GAS COKE — The Cleanest and Hottest of all Furnace Fuels. There are more heat units in a ton of Genuine Gas Coke than in a ton of anthracite coal. Think of that and compare prices. dirt, the ease of handling, etc. Genuine Gas Coke means less ashes Genuine Gas Coke means very little if any smoke and absolutely no soot to dirty up the house Genuine Gas Coke is very light and easy for anyone to handle and very often it falls upon the housewife to care for the fires during the daytime. HOW TO USE GENUINE GAS COKE To start a fire make a hot fire with kindlings or papers and then throw on a few shovels full of Genuine Gas Coke—open all drafts for a few min­ utes—as soon as the fire is going nicely fill up the furnace and close all drafts and open the checks and your fire will need no attention for five or six hours. Shake your grates very little. Always keep a good layer of ashes on top of the grates. Clean out your ash pit daily. This should be done with any fuel. Bank your fire at night by filling up the furnace and throw­ ing some of the finest coke on top. Close all drafts and open all checks. Keep a big body of fuel with very little draft and you will find GENUINE GAS COKE to be the best of fuels.

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 in only run through three or four sett of rolls, 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 largo "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. It to ordered, that the 25th day of JanT. A.

You can 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 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 "general expense” in two; by having the latest and best better, 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?

IT WK 1 FINE CARD MAKES socimmiii FRANKVARSITY TRACK SQUAD Continued from page one. value to the city of Hastings in future years. Haat:ngi was indeed honored when it was made the meeting place Of the Associated Credit Bureaus of this state. Such a meeting never took place in the eight years' history of the Associated Credit Bureau in a city of lees than 10,000 people. But if the fine eompli. tnent paid by the visiting sec reUries of Credit Bureaus in Michigan cities, who were here Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, and who attended this ban­ quet, can be taken as evidence, and we are sure they can, there has never been so enjoyable and so successful a meet­ ing of the secretaries of the State Cred­ it Bureaus as the one held here last week. Hastings, too, gave the first banquet that was ever tendered to the execu­ tive officers of the Credit Bureaus which comprise this association. And every visitor agreed that it was one of the finest affairs of its kind they had ever attended. We are sure the mem­ bers of the Commercial Club and Credit Exchange of this city are ready to say that there never was a finer event of this character held in Hastings. The toastmaster, Mr. A. B. Buckridge of Saginaw, was an ideal of what a toastmaster should be, keen, witty and at himself every minute of the time. Mr. Buck rid go is a resident of Saginaw, is secretary of the Associated Credit Bureaus of this sUte and also seereUry of the Retail Merchants’ Bureau of his homo city. W. M. Milham of Kalamazoo, secre­ tary of the Retail Merchants* Associa­ tion of that city, gave a fine address on credits and the importance to be at­ tached to them. Wo think probably the talk which made the best impression was that of Mr. Donald C. Jacobs, of Fremont. Ohio. Mr. Jacobs is the secretary of the Fremont Central Delivery Company, and also secretary of the Fremont Busi­ ness and Prqfesional Men's Associa­ tion end secretary of the Commercial Berviee Exchange. Mr. ‘ Jacobe espe­ cially emphasized the stressing of qual­ ity on the part .of every merchant, in not only goods, but in the service ren­ dered to his patrons. He gave concrete instances of the value of a reputation for good service and high quality, and emphasized ths faet that it was the big­ gest asset that a business institution can possibly have. Mr. George C. Morrison, president of the Associated Credit Bureaus of Ohio, also spoke. Secretary Rapp of Lan­ sing spoke of the political apathy of business men and the need that they should take an interest in political af­ fairs, and especially be represented at Lansing where matters of vital import­ ance to them and to their business are always up'for consideration at every meeting of the legislature. Of course, he did not expect that each busines» man would himself be in Lansing, but that business men should be so organ­ ized that they could have representa­ tives at Lansing who would put them in touch with whatever may be going on. Only three cities in the state having Credit Bureaus were not represented at this meeting. The Flint secretary was ill pt his home; the Wyandotte Credit Exchange is being reorganized, and the Jackson secretary found it impossible to come; but it was the best attended ethering of its kind ever held in Michin. The-next convention will be held at Windsor, Canada. Miss Severance has been receiving appreciative letters from the attendants at this convention since, their return. Donald C. Jacobs, mentioned above writes as follows:— ' ‘ While wo officially thanked you for the wonderful entertainment wo re­ ceived, I do not feel that we are able in that way to express our deep ap­ preciation. We certainly enjoyed every minute of our stay and we fool the ban­ quet was wobderfuL It has been the good fortune (or otherwise) of mine to be privileged to attend business men's meetings throughout the whole country. At no time did I ever attend such a one as the Hastings’ meeting. I have seen bigger gatherings but never sueh a big proportionate gathering. And regardless *of size, I never saw a more enthusiastic gathering." J. Frank Quinn, manager of the Mer­ chants Service Bureau of Grand Rap­ ids, voices his sentiments as shown be­ low:— "It is my belief that no city in the entire United States could have handled the convention more hospitably or more enjoyably than did Hastings and J am Oivea Him a Chance to Enter M.

Il Trovatore and Aida followed. The opera "Il Trovatore" was pro­ duced in Rome in 1853. The scene u laid in Biscay and Arragon and the story is based on a Spanish drama of the same name. This scene is in the prison where "Axueena" and "Manrieo” are to­ gether and the gypsy- predicts her early death. "Manrieo" attempts to soothe her, promising to watch over her slumbers. "Axueena," dreaming recalls her home and beloved moun­ tains, while "Manrieo" attempts to lull her to sleep. The duet is sung in sec­ tions first. "Manrieo" sings first, pleading that the gypsy sleep, then "Axueena" recalls her dreams, after which comes the flowing melody of "Home to Our Mountains," which ends with the beautiful blending of voices in the words "Lull Me to Rest." No. 8—Caprice Vlennois, Kreizler. Fritz Kreisler, born in Vienna, Aus­ tria, in 1875, is known everywhere as one of the world's greatest violinists, but it is not generally known that he is also a pianist of first rank and a com­ poser of many interesting compositions. The world owes Kreisler a great debt for the many interesting and beautiful numbers which would have been neg­ lected and forgotten had he not rescued thorn from obscurity and. made them popular. The "Caprice Viennois" is one of the best known of his own com­ positions for violin. The introduction of the "Caprice" is a piquant call to the dance. Then a dreamy strain in heard suggestive of Hungarian gypsies; during this theme there is a gliasando passage—a plain­ tive glide from a high to low tone. The melody now appears played in dou­ ble stops, soothing and with a decided swaying movement. This breaks sud­ denly into a brilliant dance theme, full of gaiety and life as a contrast to the slowly moving rhythm of the first theme. Then after a repetition of the short introduction the composition ends with the lovely first melody. No. 3—Scarf Dance, Chaminade. Cecile Chaminade, born in Paris, France, in 1801, is the greatest woman composer of France. She is also the first woman to gain world-wide renown as a composer. She studied under Sa­ vard and Godard. She gave her first concert at the age of 18 and since that time her piano playing has secured her a wide reputation In the principal cities of Europe. She made her first tour of the United States in 1908 and 1909, her programme confined to her own com-, positions. 8he is also an orchestra di­ rector of considerable ability. The "Scarf Dance" is a gay rhyth­ mic ballet. BOUNTIES PAID.

BESSMER OPTOMETRIST OVER $3,000 COLLECTED IN DOG TAXES Ha,tinS’ During 1923, Claims Allowed Caused by Dogs Among Sheep Amounted to $401.60 Last year there was collected the sum of $3820.85 on dog taxes in Barry coun­ ty, and the expense of collecting same was only $23. as mentioned in another item elsewhere in this issue. Last year in Barry county, dogs did damage to flocks of sheep to the extent of $401.60. At the January session of supervisors recently held, claims for damages by dogr to the extent of $656.25 were al­ lowed, or over 50 per cent more than the entire damages inflicted in the year 1923. The greatest sufferer from the ravages of dogs recently, was the fine flock of lambs of Homer Flower's near Milo. Mr. Flower's lambs were fat­ tened and about ready for shipment, when dogs got among his sheep on two different occasions, killing five lambs the first time and eighteen the next. The damages were settled at $314.40, a very reasonable figure, considering the fact that the real injury to a flock of sheep from dogs often doesn’t show for some time. Injuries and fright of­ ten lead to the deaths of others, and in any event a flock of sheep is never as good after dog* have been among them. Mora Powerful Than Sermon.

Everyone will want to eomc to the Ag-HE Exposition February 1st and 2nd, if for no other reason than to see the motion pictures. These will be pre­ sented by the Hastings High School moving picture projector. Already six different films are scheduled, all of which are wonderfully interesting and are both educational and entertaining. The names of the films are Bad Enemy, Birds of a Feather, Should I Buy a Tractor, Milk and Honey, Wheat Har­ vest in the Pacific Northwest, and Up to Hyalite. Bed Enemy is a three reel film, show­ ing very interestingly all phases of the work connected with our forests. It gives the story of a tree which had stood the test of time, and was finally destroyed by the Bed Enemy—Fire— caused by a careless rancher. A camp ing party trapped in the burning for­ est and their escape is very vividly pictured. Lumbering, paper mills, and other Industries depending on our na­ tional forests, mountain scenery, for­ est fire fighting, and the airplane fire pa­ trol are all included in the film. Birds of a Feather is the story of a country-wide campaign, showing the advantages of poultry standardization as exemplified by the experience of Fine Program Prepared for the Gathering in Kalamazoo Tomorrow The Midwinter meeting of the Mich­ igan Pioneer and Historical Society meets in Kalamazoo tomorrow. Jan. 24, at the Western State Normal college. An attractive program was prepared, Charles A.

The direc­ tors, as a token of their appreciation of Mr. McNitt'a services and fine spirit, presented him with a beautiful, solid gold watch chain and an Elk's chann. Mr. McNitt continues to be a director and general asest of the com­ pany and will be, as he said, always interested in its progress and welfare. The annual report of the secretarytreasurer was made by Mr. J. M. Dan­ iel, who is a public accountant and auditor, and who regularly audits the books of tho company every 90 days. In his report to the company Mr. Daniel^over his own signature as the audi­ tor, speaks as follows: “I take this opportunity to My that I believe the officers, directors and Cliey holders of thia company are to congratulated, not alone over the faet that you hage increased the vol­ ume of insurance during 1923, bnt have clpsed the year with s cash bal­ ance of $308,630.47, notwithstanding the expenditure of $33,468.70 required to combat the unjust and unfair meth­ ods of Lapeer Company agents, and the payment of $37,554.30 for the lot and the construction of yopr greatly needed new fire-proof building. “I want to say as a public account­ ant that you are entitled to credit be­ cause of the splendid system and bustnew-like methods with which the busi­ ness of the company is eared for by your secretary-treasurer, Mr. Andrus. Not only did tho Insurance Department examiners find every item properly en­ tered upon your company’s books, bat they themselves verified and proved the figures and found every bank balance agreeing to a penny with the office records here, thus showing the pains­ taking care, as well as the integrity, of your secretary-treasurer and his office force. It is not remarkable that Mr. Andrus was personally complimented by these Examiners for the excellence, fidelity and earn with which tho books and records are kept for you and for the policy holders of the Company un­ der his direction. In my experience and observation, I have not found any­ where in any line of business, a better system of books than this Company can show, and they are well kept. The Insurance Department has said this company has the best system of books and records of any Mutual Fire or Windstorm Company in Michigan. They certainly were1 anything but sys­ tematic until Mr. Andrus took charge of the office work and records of the company. My own work in auditing this Company’s books is made far easier because of the systematic way in whieh they are kept, and it is a pleas­ ure to find the work on them so finished and so accurately done.” In roveral of the it*t. papnra during the- past week have appeared items tell­ ing of action being taken against resi­ dents who failed to keep their sidewalks cleared of the snow and iee, thereby making the walks safer for pedestrians. Would it not bo a good thing for Has­ tings if something of the kind were put into effect here7 People who have to get out early in the morning would ap­ preciate this consideration as would el­ derly people as well. Then later when the thaw comes, the walks would be more free from slush and water. If ev­ ery man would make it a personal affair to clean off his sidewalks, the matter could be easily handled and no further action would be necessary. The state items suggest that the city elean the walks and charge the cost up to the owner along with his taxes. urer shows that on December 31, 1922, the Company had 79,725 policy holders and insurance of $253,360,096.00.

Hastings, Michigan STARTED SERIES OF UNIQUE SERVICES SUNDAY. A timely sermon pn “Old Timo Re­ ligion” was given Sunday morning by Rev. C. E. Hoag. Ho spoke of the pres­ ent controversy that is raging about so-called “fundamentals,” much of which concerned matters that have arisen in recent years, and could by no stretch of the imagination be associated with the early church—such for in­ stance as Darwinism. Another point in controversy is “the verbal inspiration of the scripture,” which Christ never asserted, and which therefore could not be claimed as a “ fundamental doc­ trine” of the Christian church- Most of this controversy is foolish and illtimed, he declared, because it concerned matters that have no vital relation to the teaching or to the program of the . Master. It was unfortunate that, just when the church needed unity in com­ batting the evils that followed the World war, there should be Rich evi­ dences of disunion and discord and of controversy carried to the limit of bit­ ter feeling and bad temper, and all in the name of religion! I . But out of this unseemly clamor about so-called fundamentals, most of them not at all fundamental to the growing of Christian character, Dr. Hoag de­ clared good might, and he trusted would come. If it could but brdhk up sects, and show the necessity for a real,union of the churches, it might be worth while. The Christian church ought to be, he said, in bigger business than wrangling. It ought to be helping to make a better world instead of quarrel­ ing about doctrines. It ought to be d°‘ ing constructive work, by having a conatruetlve program. He presented these vital matters that should be included in that program: (1) Helping men to know God; help­ ing men to have God’s spirit rule their lives; helping them to attain this through a vital faith and earnest pray­ er and then to show the fruits of it by loving service to God and men. (2) By a united campaign to for­ ever end war on the earth. (8) By a determined effort to attain a real Christian unity. It is high time that Christian people forget their dis­ agreements and unit® in a common effort to bring God’s Kingdom into this world. (4) By emphasizing the necessity of a Christian social order and a Christian economic life where the strong will bear the burdens of the weak, and where the.Golden Rule will become the abso­ lute rule in factory abd business place, and where the benefits of mass produc­ tion will be distributed more equitably among the toilers. Instead of wranglng about doctrines, said Rev. Hoag, the churches ought to bo concerned about life, about service, about good-will to mon and a real love to the God whom Christ revealed as “Our Father.” Sunday evening the service was the first of a series and was on the subject “Bread.” Each person was presented with a small loaf of J fc K bread, through the courtesy of the Stat Bakery Co. Next Bunday evening will be a “Crocs” service, with special music and pantomimes. All are invited to at­ tend. DEATH OF FORMER RESIDENT.

WIN DEBAT6-6Y A TWO TO ONE VOTE Local Team Defeated the Af­ firmative 1 Trio From Eaton Rapids Hastings High school had a very sueccsful week end, both in debate and basketball, winning the debate with Ea­ ton Rapids and three basketball games. Mention of the games is made elsewhere in this issue. The Hastings debaters went through the stiffest contest so for when they met the Eaton Rapids team at that place Fri­ day evening. Our team upheld the neg­ ative side of the question—Resolved:— that the adoption of ship subsidy would be a wise national policy. The members of tho Hastings team in the order of the speeches were: Claude Kantncr, Francis Angell, and Carl Bauer. The Eaton Rapid# team was composed of two girls and one boy, and was an exceptionally strong combination. TJhe judges were Mr. McCulloch of Jackson; Rev. Davis of Charlotte, and Bupt. Head of Albion. Prin. Martin of Eaton Rapids High school acted as chairman of the debate and had the unpleasant duty of an­ nouncing the decisions of the judges— two to one in favor of the Hastings team. The next debate for the negative team of our High school U with the Holland affirmative team, February 8th. FINE BIRTHDAY PARTY. The ladies of the Presbyterian Aid Society held their annual birthday party in the social rooms of the church Thursday afternoon. ‘ The birthday offering rejoiced tho heart of tho treasur­ er and of course the large number pres­ ents, not the ages of the company, netted the goodly sum. Feeling that Cupid has not been as active in our midst as usual, by way of rousing his ambition the committee on entertainment staged a very pretty wedding. The whole fune- i tion was quite up to date—charming j and appropriately gowned bride, brides­ maids, maid of honor and ring bearer, with "cute” little flower girls made a group worth seeing.' The "groom” and his “best man” were in conven­ tional wedding garb, while tho offi­ ciating ‘‘clergyman” and ushers were particularly gentlemanly and quite an fait with their duties. If the cere­ mony was not quite as usual, it was im­ pressive and binding enough to bind; thy^eontraeting parties together as long' as one could expect. A large decorated1 cake doing double duty both as wedding J and birthday cake centered each of the! long tables where the largo company] were seated after offering eongratula- •: tions to the bride and groom who stood at the head of the long line comprising the wedding party. A charming solo was sung by one of the bride’s rela­ tives before the party entered, and the wedding march and appropriate music were beautifully rendered throughout the ceremony. A COMMUNICATION.

And now the very latest out is the new style hair eut. Perhaps it’s all shaved off in back and nice and long on tho sides. This gives an effect similar to an ostrich’s head and nock, as tho victim’s head seems to assume a queer egg shape and the nock takes orr1 an exaggerated length. And then again the hair may be cut in many tiers, not altogether a new idea to be sure, for our great grandmothers had their hair cut in just the same fashion many years ago. This piece of barber’s art is called “ahiogling” and the fashion is fast gaining popularity among the multi­ tude of fascinating “Bobbies.” The Dutch cut, with long bangs and straight, uncurled hair is very becoming to the blue-eyed, innocent-looking dolls, al­ though a few of the brown-eyed Susans are successfully usurping the style. The hair may be shaved off, clipped off or missing in any proportion desired; it may be bleached, dyed, curled or oiled, according to the individual’s whim; ribbons, barrettes or flowers may grace the head; this is the formula for fashion’s latest plate on hair styles. After all, everybody does just as they please when styles are concerned. Profit by the experience of others and don’t be caught in later years without the protection of a good bank account.

To those who have read “Ramona,” this country would be fascinating as well as delightful; for this is the home of Aleaandro and Ra­ mona—a land of Indian tradition and Every year “Ramona” is produced in pageant rtorv in a scenic cauvon near Hornet. The pageant takes place in early summer and ptople come from miles around to see the story enacted. Tho canyon is not far from our ranch and is a very delightful spot. To ar­ rive at tho famous Ramona Bowl one must ascend a winding road on foot or horseback as it is almost impassible for automobiles to climb the steep grades. In the eenter of a group of high hills is a small hollow. A stage has been erected here and the surrounding hills furnish tier after tier of “Genuine Theater Beats” for tho audience. The blue sky;—tho smiling sun;— all contribute to the merry-making— and then the pageant is on. As a rule the story is enacted by local taient, composed mostly of High school students, under the supervision of a Los Angeles director. The costumes are quaint, the dances unique and de­ lightful.

Shake your grates very little. Always keep a good layer of ashes on top of the grates. Clean out your ash pit daily. This should be done with any fuel. Bank your fire at night by filling up the furnace and throwing some of the finest coke on top. Close all drafts and open all checks.

Hirsch Bros. & Company Started With Two Small Salting Stations in County NOW HAVE FOUR 600 Acres in 1923— Hope to Increase to 1,000 Acres in 1924 Announce Advance in Price for 1924 Crop We believe the several hundred farmers of Barry county, who raised pickles, cabbage and cauliflower for us during the past season, besides hun­ dreds of those who did not, will be interested in knowing that during the past five years we have paid about $250,000 to those who have grown and delivered to our stations the above products. Last year we had contracts for about 600 acres and this year we hope to increase the acreage to 1,000. We guarantee to take all the pickles pur growers can bring. We have several car loads of tanks already to send to the various stations in Barry county to care for the crop as it comes to us, if we succeed in securing as large an acreage as we expect. REMEMBER—In raising products for us— 1 SEED IS FURNISHED FREE — MARKET IS ASSURED — PRICE IS GUARANTEED This is a big, growing, permanent business. The first year we were in Barry county we had only two salting stations and paid to growers only about $ 14,000. We now have four stations and will have shipped about 60 car loads of products from Barry county this year—1923. Possibilities to You In Pickles! Farmers’ “Good Will” Is Big Asset Examples of what a few of the farmers of Barry county have done:— to Pickle Company Hirsch Bros. & Co. believe that the "Good Will” of the farmers of Barry county is one of the biggest assets they can have in this territory and their aim is to practice the Golden Rule in business—"Do unto others as ye would that they should do unto you.” 1 We have built up a big business upon this basis during the past 30 years and can assure every prospective grower of the permanence of our business. You can plan to raise pickles and be sure of a market and good prices for your products. Barry county soil is especially well adapted to raising cucumbers, cauli­ flower, cabbage, onions, dill weed, etc., and with the outlook for a perma­ nent business in this line there is no reason why Barry county farms cannot be greatly increased in value because of the good financial returns usually received by growers. Every Farmer is at the Mercy of Two Conditions — WEATHER AND PRICE. When he raises Pickles he is at the mercy of the weather only, for the Price Is Guaranteed. I And we are pleased at this time to announce An Advance in Price for 1924. i WITH ONLY HALF A CROP ANYWHERE IN MICHIGAN LAST SEASON — Philip Turnes received from ua $345.00 for 2 acres of Cucumber*—Hastings. E. L. McCallum, Delton, received $146.00 from one acre of Cucumbers. . Elmer Eckert, Freeport, received from us $1,124.00 from 10 acres of Cucumbers. Dick Hoffman, Nashville, received from us $404.00 from 4 acres. ON CAULIFLOWER WE CAN REPORT THE FOLLOWING RESULTS:— Myron Sensiba, Delton, received $371.00 from 1 3-4 acres. Louis Neeb, Hastings, received $673.00 from 6 acres. Otto Schulze, Nashville, received $202.00 from 1 acre. ON CABBAGE:— Lyle Bidelman, Hastings, obtained checks amounting to $92.29 from 1 acre. Here are a couple from 1921, which show even greater possibilities, and at prices lower than present prices:— ; Fred Stewart, Delton, received $360.00 from 1 acre of Cucumbers. Otto Schulze, Nashville, received $2,800.00 from 12 acres of Cucumbers. We could give many other examples right here in this county of the splendid financial returns from pickle raising, but these will give an idea of what can be accomplished. - .f . . . Any experienced pickle grower will bear us out in the statement that pickles are just as sure a crop if grown by proper methods, as any other farm crop—and when a crop is secured, a permanent market and a good price are guaranteed. Thia i» about the time of year when every farmer is thinking about what crops he will raise in 1924 and when planning for your money crop be sure to save a good place for pickles. If you grow crops for us we want you to make a good profit. If you have a big yield and make a good profit it means a nice business for us—and our organization in Barry county is always ready to render you every possible assistance in making your pickle growing a suc­ cess.

If you ever get the idea that you are cutting down your living ex­ penses 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? Probate. 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. D. 1034, at ■aid deceased. of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY—the best flour your money can buy. No doubt when you threw away your baking you dismissed the sub­ ject from your mind with the thought that it was only another case of “bad luck.” But the real fact is that it was NOT a case of bad luck— You can’t have good baking* from poorly milled flour. Where the grain ha* to be “RUSHED” through three or four sets of roll* 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 a* much a* it should have been. Then why expect to make good bread from flour that ha* been rushed through a mill, and is really only about one-quarter manufactured? You haven’t thought about the hard work you had to put in tb prepare and bake that bread. You had to throw away not only the bread but YOUR TIME a* 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. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR goes through 17 sets of rolls, every particle of flour going through the same process until it finally come* out a perfectly smooth, even granulation. 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 FRENCH'S WHITE LILY you will readily see the difference between it and the ordinary flour.

NOT BEST METHOD TO REDUCE TAXATION To Berre Efficiently the Teach­ ers Should Be Well Trained We understand that, at a recent meeting of the Barry County Farm Bureau, the following resolution was passed: “Resolved, that the Barry County Farm Bureau request the next session of the Michigan State legislature to amend the present Michigan school laws so that any graduate of any 12 grade school in Michigan may be lic­ ensed to teach in the rural schools of the state of Michigan, for a period of three yean, providing such high school graduates have passed a reasonable county teachon’ examination.” We believe that if tho ones who pro­ posed and voted for this resolution will think it through, they will real­ ize that such action as they ask the legislature to take would be a distinct backward step in public education. Further, if they had children of their own, it would be equivalent to re- , drit surely cannot have escaped tho observation of members of the Farm Bureau that for every vocation in life, especially where results are important, training for the work is considered the prime essential. bat can be a more important work training the children and young le of the rural districts for citise&fhip in this countryf And does it not d to reason that a democracy, whosK existence depends absolutely up­ on tb\ intelligence and education of its le, requires that school room be of the highest efficiency f well understand how, un­ Wo c conditions, tho farmers of der prese , and every other county Barry coi ter, should be seeking to for that of reduce the 1 _T taxation.

WOODROW WILSON The nation was not unprepared for the announcement, Bunday, of tho death of Woodrow Wilson, which occurred that forenoon. Ever since his physical break-down four years ago, his hold on life had been feeble. Nothing but the very best and almost constant medical atten­ tion had prolonged bls life after that first attack of paralysis. It is remarkable that he lived so long thereafter. The end found the great man prepared to go. “I am ready,” ho said quietly and simply as the doctor told him that his passing was but a matter of hours. His death came very peacefully. Woodrow Wilson's place in history can bettor be known twentyfive years from now than today. Then the extent of American partici­ pation in world affairs will be better understood and realised. He was an Idealist; and as President be evidenced an unwavering faith In the ideals which ho had formed for America's international future. The weaker fide of his nature was his failure to recognise that, without the co-operation of others who were equally interested and responsible, particularly that of the strong leaden of his own and the republican party in the U. S. senate, he could not hope to realise the “League of Nations, ’ ’ upon which he had set his heart. It was not good strategy on his part to take upon himself the entire responsibility for America’s part in the “Treaty of Versailles." It was worse when he refused to compromise on “Article 10“ of the League of Nations; but Insisted that it must go through as written, though its opponents in his own and in the republican party believed it would require this country to furnish American soldiers to maintain all of the national boundaries that were fixed by the peace treaty. No oho can question Mr. Wilson’s sincerity in what he advocated. Because he had thought it through, and beIs an element in all legislation, and would not have been out of place In fixing America's responsibility under the proposed League of Nations.

A younger brother is serving sentence in the Industrial School at Lansing. The father must be a degenerate to commit the offense that he did, and the children are but the victims of heredity. The time is coming, and cannot come too soon, when this country must pay more attention to the sterilization of its degenerates, whose rapid increase is reflected not only in "the rapid growth of crime, but is becoming a very per­ ceptible cause of the great increase in taxes. Every state institution, be it for the insane, feeble-minded, or crimi­ nal, is filled to capacity, and all are climoring for substantial enlargements. This only calls for still higher taxes, and when they are built there will only be a repetition of the program. The ever-growing stream of degeneracy and pollution in the great stream of life calls for prompt action to save our civilization, and it cannot be started too soon. Degenerates never should be permitted to reproduce and there is just the one way to stop it—and (that's through sterilization.

Cut Your Feed Bill 30% to 50% -* -7-—By Using a Letz-Dixie Mixed Feed Grinder Farmers sell their crops for 75 cents to $1.50 per hundred and then buy them back in the form of Fancy Mixed Feeds for $1.50 to $2.50 per 100. Mixed feed in a balanced ration is the quickest and cheapest way to pro­ duce flesh or milk; but no one can sell you as good ground feed as you can make for yourself with a Letz Dixie Mill. SPECIAL FREE DEMONSTRATION OF THE LETZ-DIXIE MIXED FEED GRINDER Friday, February 8th, 1924 At Home of C. E. DeVault, on what is known as the McIntyre Farm, One and One-half Miles East of Barbers Corners We want every farmer to come and make us prove what we have to say about the Letz Dixie. This is a real chance to be convinced that this is the best little machine on the market and a big money-saver for farmers. With a Letz Dixie, you can make your own feed from the sheaf or shock without threshing, you know exactly what goes into it and you get positive results. You make every stalk, vine, stem and leaf on your place pay you a profit. If you follow our instructions, we absolutely guarantee to cut feed bills 30 to 50% and at the same time increase production 15 to 30%. Steers are put in prime condition in much less time and bring better prices. Hogs are fin­ ished in 4 to 6 weeks less time. Sows produce stronger litters and come through farrowing in better condition. If you feed three or more animals and do not use a Letz Dixie, you surely are losing good profits which we GUARANTEE to produce for you with a Letz Dixie. Ask us for a 32page booklet, explaining the Letz method of balanced ration feeding and showing how to put your feeding on a business basis that puts the the profit into YOUR pocket instead of mill feed manufacturers, railroads and middle men. No untested theoretical ideas; just plain, com­ mon-sense facts that have been proved again and again. GOODYEAR BROTHERS HARDWARE CO Hastings, Michigan EABT IRVING. HAYWOOD-RITZMAN.

ALSO FIGHTING BLOOD SERIES Trouble is in store for Henry Galli­ more. It seems that Gallimore enlisted into Uncle Barn’s service on June 16 nt Camp Custer, and was sent with a cavalry company to Fort Sheridan, where he has since been stationed. On December 4, ho was given n thirty day furlough and came hero to visit friends, but failed to return when the thirty days were up. A notice was sent out from Fort Sher­ idan offering a reward for his arrest as a deserter and for his return. Sheriff Parker happened to see the notice, so got busy, and on Friday took Gallimore into custody and notified the proper officers. Monday the sheriff took him over to Camp Custer, where Henry was turned over to the authorities. The punishment will doubtless mean a term nt tho federal prison nt Leavenworth, ns dcoertcra from tho service arc not shown a great deal of leniency. EXCELLENT PORTRAYAL OF BIBLE INCIDENT. A tableau, “Paul In Prison,” was one of the features of the service Sun­ day evening nt the Methodist church, »nd it was very impressive. The char­ acters represented were Paul, Oncsimu», and tho two guards, ia a Roman prison, and the scene was taken from the Bible incident where Paul was send­ ing Onesimus, who had become to Paul as a son, back to his former master, Philemon, whom Onesimus in other days had served unprofitahly. Paul had written n message to Philemon telling him of tho great change in Onesimus and asking that ho receive the former servant in love for he was indeed worthy. The story of love, faith and forgiveness was splendidly portrayed by the participants, Dr. F. Cnrrothcrs as Paul, Fred Fleming ns Onesimus and Hugo Wunderlich and Clinton Lahr ns guards. Following this part of tho service, Dr. Hong delivered n ser­ mon on “Breaking Prison Walls.” The Hastings Chapter De Molay held a special meeting for the purpose of re­ organization, January 31. Election of officers was held and plans for future work were made. The following officers were elected and installed: Master Councillor—Theos Ryan. Senior Councillor—Hubert Blakney. Junior Councillor—Wm. McCall. Treasurer—Wm. Burd. Secretary—Robert Gamble. Senior Deacon—Carl Bauer. Junior Deacon—Russell Cleveland. Senior Steward—Howard Cain. Junior Steward—'Homer Smith. Marshal—Russell Hines. Almoner—Jack Reed. Standard Bearer—Meredith Dick. Sentinel—Merrill Bennett. Plans arc now being completed for the Hastings chapter to put on work for the Masonic lodges at Belding, Middleville, Delton, Nashville, Woodland and Hick­ ory Corners. OBITUARY.

One reason for this is found in the fact that they are great coSee drinkers. ■CoSee contains caSeine, a drug, prescribed by doctors as an emergency stimulant for the heart and nervous system. It has a tendency to increase blood pressure, develop heart irreg­ ularities and cause digestive dis­ turbances. If you feel that coHee is not good for you, serve Postum as your meal­ time drink. Postum is a pure cereal beverage that refreshes and satisfies. It is ab­ solutely free from caSeine or any other irritating drug. Try a cup of Postum with your dinner or supper tonight.

No one believes Mr. Gregory took the $2,000 he received from Mr. Doheny corruptly or for corrupt purposes but it would be impossible for him to serve the government in a prosecution that may involve Doheny. It is only fair to say that Mr. Mc­ Adoo has asked,, and has been granted, a hearing at the earliest possiblo moment before the committee, as to how he came to be paid such an enormous retainer’s fee by the'Doheny oil in­ terests. Such a retainer could not be for actual services; but must have in­ cluded in Mr. Doheny’s mind the idea of his powerful influence as well. It may not have been corrupt, but it sure­ ly is irregular and hurtful. As the democrats are trying to fix the odium of the whole thing upon the republicans, this turn of affairs has had a marked effect in showing that human nature is very much alike, and that the temptation of big money and easy money gets a good many people whom you would not suspect of strrrcnderiug to the inducement. in company with Mr. and Mrs. Nay Bump, took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. James Foley in Hastings, Sunday.

On both days, the gymnasium was filled with people, from both city and country, who had come, many of them, for miles, to view this splendid exhibition of Barry eoun­ ty farm produce and to become ac­ quainted with the work of the Agri­ cultural and Home Economics depart­ ments of tho High school nnd with tho Agricultural Club. For weeks the students of the two departments and the members of the club kava been working to bring about thia educational and entertaining event nnd it was therefore with justified pride that they opened the doors of the gym­ nasium at noon, February first, to dis­ play the results of their labors. Their pride might well be increased by the fact that tho exposition was free to all who cared to attend. Several of tho leading stores of the city had displays in the gymnasium or­ ganized in such a way as to present the better and more pleasant sides of rural life. One of tho most interesting ex­ hibits was the ideal farm home, con­ sisting of a completely equipped kitch­ en, nn inviting dining room, an ar­ tistically furnished parlor aad a luxu­ rious bedroom, each room being fur­ nished by one of the furniture stores of tho city. Tho Co-operative Elevator Association displayed farm feeds and supplies, while other stores displayed modern farm machinery and household conveniences. Besides these exhibits members of the Agricultural Club dis­ played correct methods of building and lighting of the farm home and bams by means of model buildings with com­ plete lighting equipment. The main feature of the exposition and the real reason for its being were tho displays of farm produce, chickens and baked goods, which were exhibited by Barry county producers and cooks. This feature of the exposition was equal if not superior to similar exhibits at the Barry county fair. One could not help being impressed with the excel­ lence of Barry county products as he walked between the rows of exhibits. The Ag-HE Exposition would have been a success if it had consisted of nothing but this. The rural schools of the eoun­ ty showed samples of grain and canned goods in competition for prizes. The winning schools are: In canned goods—Briggs, first; Wel­ come, second; Chidester, third. In grain—Chidester, first; Hender­ shott, second; Lakeview, third. In connection with the exhibits in tho gymnasium, a program was pre­ sented in the main auditorium of the High school. The following were tie main features of the program: Friday. February 1—1:30 P.

"We’re on a recruiting drive. We want every veteran in town in the American Legion. And first of all wo want back in the fold every ex-servioe man who has ever been a Legion­ naire,” said Ray Conaway, local Le­ gion commander today. "The accomplishments of the Legion in Michigan merit the support of every veteran," ho continued. "The Legion in this state, without any ex­ aggeration, has done more for the dis­ abled and needy veteran than has been accomplished in any other common­ wealth. "The Legion's latest victory was an assurance, after a fight, that Michi­ gan’s tubercular veterans would be treated no far as possible in Michi­ gan hospitals. But if the veterans of the World War are ever to receive their just dues we must have a strong veteran organisation. That moans that every veteran should get into the Legion. "We want a bigger membership so that we can insist on our buddies ob­ taining fair treatment. We want no mor® of them dependent upon charity, and no more of them assigned to poor houses or soldiers' homes. "Besides all that the Legion is a real man's organisation, and its mem­ bers have the time of their lives re­ newing the comradeship after the war days. As the war gets farther away we look back to it as a time when wo had our greatest experiences and made our best friends. The Legion cements that comradeship. "Our next meeting will be held Feb. 10, at K. of P. hall, and we’ll be gan hospitals. But if the veterans of the World War. This coming season we’re going to have some programs that will make every buddy mighty glad he’s a Legionnaire.

In spite of thin tremendous increase in production, it was impossible to meet delivery requirements during the spring and summer months when orders lor 350,000 Ford Care and Trucks could not be filled. This year winter buying for immediate delivery has been more active than ever before—and in addition 200,000 orders have already been booked through the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan for spring delivery. These facts clearly indicate thif the demand during this spring and oummer will be far greater than ever, and that orders should be placed immediately with Ford Dealers as a means of protection against delay in securing your Ford Continued from pogo one. eonsidering unly shows pro- creased one billion aad one-half pounds over last year. The attempt at this time to diversify would only toad to lower the general price leva! of all commodities or bring all prodnet* to a point of surplus- Wheat, a* feed, has nearly the cam* feeding value as rye, corn, oats or barley. By feeding wheat, one would place this product in com­ petition with those other grains which would tend to lower their pries, so you see a* a general means of helping agriculture there findings fail to ac­ complish what to claimed for them. Following to an extract from the Sec­ retary of Agriculture’s speech before a body of eceuomtots: “In times such a* there good farm management ou most I farms to reduced to the simplest terms and can be stated very briefly. For example: Produce as much as you can and si cheaply as you can of what you ean produce best; spent a* little as you can: work as hard as you can: make your wife and children work as hard as they can. Having done this, I take what comfort you ean in the i thought that if you succeed in doing what you set out to do, and if moat other farmers also succeed, you will have produced larger crops than ean be sold at a profit and still be under the harrow. Nevertheless, the avenge | farmer is forced by unhappy eireum- , stances to adopt exactly that policy. It to not good for the farmer, not good I for his wife and children, not good for I the Nation.” Borne say that during the depression l of the last three years, the farmer 1 found himself exactly whore ho ought to have known he would have found himself. That such periods always fol­ low wars, and the farmer should have known that and set his house in order. That those farmers whoso foresight was not as good as their hindsight must take the consequences. Work hard, keep cheerful and if they survive take comfort in the thought that the next time they will know in advance what to going to happen! Advice No. 6. “Cooperative Market­ ing will solve our problems.” Answer. Cooperative Marketing is good business practice and should be encouraged. Thirty seven cents is not a just share of the consumers’ dollar to be returned to the person who takes the chances of the elements such as excessive rain, wind, hail, draught, etc., and we have proven that by marketing cooperatively a larger per cent of the price paid by the consumer for pro­ duct* is returned to the producer. We do believe that it‘to good business to eliminate just as much expense as pos­ sible in tranafering produce from the producer to the consumer in the way of freight, handling, profits, etc. But in general, could the cooperation sell our surplus at a profit! Or with an unlimited supply of any or all products, eould they market It so as to return us a price which would cover the cost of production! Or if the economic relations between this and other coun­ tries should make it possible for foreign countries with cheap money, cheap labor, cheap transportation to produce and sell in our markets for less than the cost of production here, could the cooperative marketing save us! You might say that isn't possible; but the Government reports that our agricultur­ al exports wore less last year than our imports, and how do we know that it will stop there! We have no assurance that the agricultural imports into this country may not keep on increasing. Advice No. 6. “Bettor farming (vis) better seed, bettor soil, better stock and better methods.” Answer. Again wo say these are all good and necessary practices and by all means should be done by every farmer. It is the adoption of better business practices that makes it pos­ sible for one individual or corporation to successfully compete with others in the same business, especially if others do not apply good practices. For instance, if all auto manufacturers built and sold as many cars as the Ford Company, the entire industry would be ruined in a short time. The natural incentive of every farm­ er is not only to do well, but do better. They, like every one else, would not be satisfied just to make a living and pay their overhead expense. Bo if by bet­ ter farming they conld make a small profit, they would try and expand this business until they could have on hand a comfortable bank account laid by for a rainy day. Then again if a great number of farmers adopted the adviee and still retain that great natural de­ sire to do better, we might not only have a surplus but a super-surplus. So again, generally sneaking, agriculture as an industry might not be any better off. After carefully thinking over and an­ alyzing the effect that would result by the application of some program, given as adviee,' especially if those programs were followed by any great number of farmers, wc are convinced that the serious conditions in which agriculture has found itself in the last three years were not brought about by any indivi­ dual action of the farmer himself, nor and individual effort on the part of the farmer to correct the eondition. The question is: “Is there anything the matter with agriculture!” If so, when did it happen! What were the circumstances at the time and what remedy should be applied! In answer to the first question, I would say that farm values have de­ creased 813,000,000,000 from Jun. 1, 1920, to Mar. 1, 1922. Also in some of the agricultural states from 42% to 02% of the farmers are said to bo' bankrupt, POPHAM’S ASTHMA REMEDY See the Nearest Authorized Ford Dealer other year since the panic of 1893.

So in the year of 1900 agriculture found itself in a normal, growing and thriving period, aad from then on with a few minor exceptions up until 1920—when something happened. Inflation was at it* highest, speculation was on a ram­ page. Nearly everyone was buying everything and anything offered for sale—in other words, money was Trial PackaaaWMafllte. KUUU BFI.

The banker* of the Federal Reserve system, in order to stop thia crazy investing in not only thing* containing real wealth but ques­ tionable stocks and bonds, resorted to a deflation of the currency, by ceasing to loan on what they termed spccnlative enterprises; and it has accom­ plished the feat. But by doing so, it has nearly ruined our great essential industry—agriculture. In 1920 the purchasing power of farm product* was 86; in 1921, at 07, and in 1922 a* low as 64. It gradually began to revive so in October, 1923 it had reached 75, but in November it started downward and reached 73, Where will it go from there!

Cowan, Vice-President and Chairman of the Executive summarized as follows: (Series A) * ’ Committee, is HISTORYThe Arctic Dairy Products Company is a consolidation of the Arctic Ice Cream Company (in­ corporated in 1908) and theC. A. Connorlce Cream Company (incorporated in 1905)and brings under one management, two of the oldest and largest dairy products organizations in the State of Michigan. The nature of the industry is such as to give a stability to the business an J a power to earn satisfactorily even in years ofunaettled conditions. Both companies have paid dividends on their common storks since 1916. Through the diversity of the Company’s products and locations, it will be able to control its raw material supply, use its by-products to good advantage and distribute ice cream at minimum cost. SECURITY: This issue of Series A Bonds is secured by a First Mortgage upon the fixed assets of the Com­ pany, having a net sound value as appraised by the Lloyd-Thomas Company, under date of September 30th, 1923, of $2,728,444.61, or over twice the amount of Series A Bonds issued. The Company’s balance sheet shows total net assets, after deducting all indebtedness other than these bonds of $4,040,723.12 or $3,232.57 for each $1,000.00 bond. The remaining bonds may be issued for not more than 50% of additional unencumbered fixed assets acquired by the Company and only when net earnings for twelve months preceding shall have been equal to at least three times interest requirements on bonds outstanding and to be issued. Total net assets, after deducting all indebtedness other than these bonds, must be maintained at not less than 2JX times the amount of bonds outstanding under this mortgage. Earnings for two years and. nine months ended September 30th, 1923, after interest and Federal Taxes but before depreciation, were $1,139,946.86, an average of over 4>^ times the annual interest requirements of Series A Bonds, For the nine months ended Septem­ ber 30th, 1923, the earnings were $469,483.05, or over 5% times the annual interest requirements on Series A Bonds. It is expected that the economies to be effected through this consolidation and through the equipping of dealers with Nizer mechanically refrigerated cabinets, will increase the earnings materially. EARNINGS: SINKING FUND: The Trust Deed will provide for a sinking fund beginning January 1st, 1926, under the provisions of which the Company is required to pay to the Trustee, an amount equiva­ lent to 20% of the net earnings after interest and depreciation, but not less than $50,000, per year. Tho funds so created, wil’ be used to purchase First Mortgage Series A Bonds, at net to exceed the current re­ demption price or for the call of bonds by lot, if sufficient bonds are not available in the open market. PURPOSE OF ISSUE: The proceeds of this issue are to be used to retire the outstanding 8% Preferred Stock, to complete the equipment of dealers with Nizer mechanically refrigerated cabir.eta, and to provide additional working capital for the Company’s growing business. /.// matters pertaining to thia issue have been passed upon by Messrs.

Therefore I submit th* following for consideration: Many thing* have happened in the last few year*. Therefore many ad­ justments Win have to be made, among which I will oaly suggest a few which I think moot important: First, taxes. The cost of govenufieat should be spread upon real property, including land and buildings, also per­ sonal propertv, Including live stock and machinery, also intangible wealth such u money, bonds, mortgages etc^ also upon *D citisea*, because all enjoy the benefits and protection of government without which they could not exist Dm consideration of eoune should be given to ability to pay; for any tax that becomes eoalaeatory to little short of robbery. Freight rate*. Freight rates should be established with more consideration given to th* actual value of the com­ modity shipped. For instance, most farm commodities are heavy and balky. Therefore, many times tho freight rate nearly equals tie entire eash value of tho shipmeat. Cooperative Marketing. The chief reason that the farmers are trying to develop cooperative marketing are eeonomie—to lower tho cost of distribution of food which to good business for our entire -social structure, and our Fed­ eral and State Governments should do everything possible to assist by point­ ing the way by other means when nec­ essary. Good farming. Good farming is good business mdso applied to fanning; meaning good soil, good seed, good stock and good business*methods, and I am glad to say that onr govenments. poth state aad federal, are doing every ^jng that they con do to help along Inflation and Deflation. The writer remembers, when a boy, if he was to en­ joy coasting down the hill he must by some means get back up the hill again. Now if agriculture is to enjoy its formor relationship with other industries it must get back to the position it oc­ cupied in 1919. During this time when Boney was easy to get, debts were eon traeted to the largest extent ever re­ corded in history, and wo all expected Co pay these obligations with our com­ modities representing a cash value of nearly, if not quite, double what they now represent. For example it took 100 bushels of wheat in 1919 to pay interest on $3750.00 at 6%. Today, 100 bushel* of wheat would pay the interwt on only $1428.57 at 7%. This rate of depreciation is not only shown in Wheat but in hay, beef, cattle, pota­ toes and many others. It is also shown in exchange value; for example, 102 bushels of wheat in 1919 would buy TERMS OF SALE:—All sums of $10.00 and under, . Over that amount 8 months' time will be given on good bankable paper with interest at 7 per cent No property to be removed until settled for. Merton S. Tobias Proprietor obliged to pay it under another. 1919. I will reply by sayiag that value oaly means so much of ooe thing to giv­ en for so much of another. Bo tho value of any given thing including money de­ pends upon the amount available and the demand for it. So when money is plenty and cheap everyone is trying to money is scarce the conditions change and everyone to trying to exchange things for money. Therefore money beTax Exempt Bonds and Securities. The cruy desire to go in debt was not confined to individual*. They only fol­ lowed the example set by our govern­ ment and our municipalities. Some of the astounding figures are given be­ low: The debts carried by governments, National, State, County, Cities, ete., in 1911 were M,814,958,000. This had grown in 192S to 832J8fi,715/)00. ' The increase represents 381%. The per capita debt in that period raised from 170.20 to 5-301.56.

Thia great indebtedness ia largely represented by tax exempt bond* and securities; a condition made possible by legislation and will be corrected only through legislation. Therefore I am convinced that the only mean* by which Agriculture can be relieved of the serious condition* which it to in, 1* by thorough and com­ plete organisation, and, with our nu­ merical strength, support such men as have a knowledge of the real conditions affecting agriculture, and are earnestly trying to effect a cure.

In other words, these eleven counties, were compelled to bear a part of Wayne's share of the taxes. This wm true of all the other counties of the state. In our judgment, Wayne county’s equalised valuation for state taxation purposes ought to be at least 11/100,000,000 above the figures fixed by tho Bute Board of Equalisers, -for Wayne eounty has not escaped tho notire of the rest of the state. It is no wonder thkt this employee of tho State Tax Commission resigned when it became evident that the State Board of Equalization ’so eontemptuoualy treated the information which he placed in their hands for consideration in tho way of expert investigation of the amount of taxable property contained in the eleven counties, which had been assigned to him.

FRED HOWARD, AGED 28, SAID TO HAVE GOTTEN CASH BY FORGERY CHECK CALLS FOR THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS Cashed It January 15 at a Nashville Bakery—Brought Here on Thursday Fred Howard, n young man of 28, who recently camo to Barry county from New York state, is in jail on the serious charge of forging n check. He was arrested while working for Asa, Shafer, who lives on what is known ns the Curtis farm, in Knlamo township. The check in question wns for $35.00, and purported to bo made payable to “Warne Knowles.” It was dated Jan­ uary 15, 1924. nnd the signature affixed wns “Cienve Creator,” no doubt mean­ ing Clove Crater, the paymaster for the contractor who is constructing M-79 cast Of Bnrryville hill. The check was endorsed “Wavnc Knowles.” On Jan. 15, it is alleged that young Howard went into the Tallent bakery at Nashville, and nsked Mrs. Olive Hill, who had charge of the bakery, to cash n check for $35.00, handing the check to her nnd offering to endorse it if she would pay him the cash. Mrs. Hill railed her daughter, Miss Penrl, to act for her. The latter did not suspect n forgery, brought the $35.00 in bills, paid it to the young man, who soon left. Tho check wns on the Farmers and Merchants bank of Nashville. It wns deposited n few days later nt the State Honk of Nashville. When in due course of time the cancelled check came to Mr. Crater, the latter denounced it ns a forgery. Underaheriff Quick happened to be in Nashville Thursday when it was known the check was forged, nnd began to investigate. Be­ fore long he was thoroughly convinced that it was Howard who forged the check, nnd with Deputy Sheriff Green of Nashville, mado the arrest and brought Howard to the jail that day. Howard denied his guilt, and insisted thnt it must have been “Wayne Knowles” who did the trick. It ap­ pears that he knew Wayne. Both have tho same colored hair and wore brown clothes, but Wayne is younger. The latter soon established his innocence, for his name is “Knoll,” not “Knowles.” His writing;docs not correspond at all with that on the check, and Mrs. Hill quickly said when the two stood before her Saturday that Wayne was not tho one, while she positively identified Howard. Investigation disclosed the fact that Howard had done some work on M-79, and wns given a check for $3.20 in payment of the same, the check being duly signed by Mr. Crater. It wns also discovered that a blank check had been removed from Mr. Crater’s check book. It is believed by the officers that How­ ard first made the cheek to himself, writing in the name and amount with a lend pencil; that ho afterward con­ cluded to use the name of “Wayne Knowles” as tho one to whom tho check would be drawn. The erasure and writing is very clumsily done. It appears thnt Howard knew young Knoll a little, and it is believed thnt not knowing how to spell his name wrote it “Knowles” instead of “-Knoll.” But the writing on the check hns no resemblance to Knoll’s, while it corresponds closely with that of How­ ard. That with Mrs. Hill’s positive identification make the case strong against him. Young Knoll has always bourne a good reputation, and for Howard to try to fasten such a crime on him seems peculiarly atrocious and mean. - Howard has been a bell-hop in many hotels in various parts of the country, is nn expert pool and billiard player nnd n persistent hanger-on around pool rooms.

CTIRRIMQ v I Inn 111 U lYltOOAUC AT Y CONFERENCE Warning Sounded On the Looseneu of American Life Service to the rest of the world, the economics of the Ten Commandment* in business, more of the old fashioned virtpes, a realization that our social fabric can be made strong if only the grownups will give the boy* and girl* more sympathetic attantioa—these were some of the keynotes struck at the 49th Annual Convention of the Mich­ igan Young Men’* Christian Associa­ tion* at Flint, Jan. SO-31. The opening address was Wednesday afternoon by Fred B. Smith, a New York business man and a member of the International Committee of the Y. MC. Ay who spoke on “Preparation for Leadership.’’ We must look out,” said Mr. Smith, “that we are not swept too far in this briek and mortar era of an interpretation of the kingdom of God. A warning need* to be struck. We are in a country where wealth is growing at a rate that is almost un­ paralleled, a country where the material thing is magnified more than any other place on earth. The result is that our leader* of all forms of religion wher­ ever they meet a problem make a briek and mortar answer to it.” He cau­ tioned against the tendency to stress the importance of great building* and equipment instead of the individual and hi* need* at a time when the world ia materialistic. Mr. Smith wa* principal speaker at the banquet Wednesday night in the Masonic temple, which was attended by more than five hundred people. His subject wa* “America n Great Na­ tion.” “We need a crusade in Amer­ ica,” he said, “that will make the people of America realize that the hoodlum* of our cities are not in the back alleys but in rich men’* houses where they arc hard to get at. Men who vied for sacrifice during the war would today sell the flag for a high­ ball.” “If all we are going to live on is elaptrap men who will play with thought then wo won’t be grent very long.. America doesn’t need a lot of feeble braggen to go around the coun­ try now. What she need* is the cau­ tioning voice that will slow her up and make her think great thoughts and realize great truths. “America needs some method by which every man is going at least to believe he ha* an honest square deal in the economic world. Every revolu­ tion carried through successfully ha* been n revolution denying bread when those that marched were marching to the cry of bread. “America need* service a* a basis of her relation* with the rest of the world. Somebody must do something that will carry over the service idea in our relations to nation*. Just na­ tional patriotism is a doubtful virtue.” —Detroit Young Men.

That British humor can be as exag­ gerated ns Hint of the typical Anieri can gag Is proved by tbe following from a London weekly: A meeting of the district council was In progress to consider a complaint about the muddy state of the roads in the outlying dis­ tricts. One of the councillors said: “Gentlemen, I was walking by the road in question the other morning when I saw n man's hat on top of the mud. I touched it with my stick and was nstouiNljed to bear a man's voice from beneath. ‘My friend.' 1 said. 'It's a bit thick there, isn't Itt 'It ain't ’alf.’ came the answer, 'and I'm on the top o’ the bus!' * Scagllolo. Scagllola is an Imitation stone con­ sisting of a substratum of finely ground gypsum mixed with glue, variegated on Its surface while soft with marble, spar or granite dust, and subsequently pol­ ished. It Is used for floors, columns and other ornamental interior work. Cold Shrinks Everything. Nearly everything shrinks ns It gets cvuler. As there is the same weight In less volume any given volume weighs more. The cooler anything is, the heavier is nny given volume of It, with the important and vital exception of water. Water has the peculiar prop­ erty of getting heavier all the way down the stale until the temperature of 39 degrees Fahrenheit Is reached; then It lo-gins to expand again until It freezes and afterward. As n result, a given volume of water at 82 degrees, or the temperature at which It freesee. Is lighter than water nt.39 degrees and rises above It before freezing begins. The Ice being still lighter, Homs on the water. If water did not have this queer property, ice would fonn on the bottom of bodies of water, there would be no protection of the surface by a layer of Ice from further eoollng and many rivers and lakes would freeze solid, killing all the fish. The summer sun would never be able to melt all of the winter's ice. INCOME TAX SERVICE AUDITS AND SYSTEMS * NIELSEN and HAGUE ACCOUNTANTS AND AUDITORS 703 Post Building, Battle Creek, Mich.

N THIS line of work there is a lot more than knowing just how to follow out the rou­ tine which of course it is nec­ essary to know but which most anyone could learn. It isn't all in the equipment that one may have, nor the methods that may be followed, though they are important. One must have a liking for it, because with it there is an indescribable, something, a sort of^intuition that applies to each case just the attention it should have. The service we have been able to render has not only been highly pleasing to our patrons, but also in keeping with the highest ideals of the profession.

There is no more reason why wo should give our space free of charge to the railroads than we should expect that railroads haul our car-loads of print paper for nothing. When we pay bur freight bills we are very emphatically impressed with the fact that freight charges are two or three times as much as they were before the war, and reports indicate that they aro all making money, even more than they did in the “good old days.** Ro it eannot be because of lack of finances, or because they ean­ not afford 10 do it.

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS. Ton days of intensive campaigning for a larger American Legion in this city is announced by Ray C. Conaway, commander of Laurence J. Bauer Post. Tho dates are set from Lincoln’s birthday, February 12th, to Washing­ ton’s birthday, February 28ml. This drive of the local Port is a part of a campaign which is being staged in every eity in Michigan, and which is expected by Legion leaders to double the organization’s strength over the figures of 1923. “The work of the American Legion in Michigan,” said Commander Ray C. Conaway, “is to sec that tho men and women who suffered most from the war arc given more of a square deal. We know that the people as a whole want everything possible done for the disabled or those broken in health. But there are some minor gov­ ernment employees who seem to delight in delaying justice just as long as they are able. The American Legion’s job is to see that the will of the whole people prevails, and that justice is “We ask dvery veteran in this eity who believes In the work we ore doing to come into the Legion and to help us. “Besides this organized effort in be­ half of unfortunate veterans, the Amer­ ican Legion affords a wonderful op­ portunity for a man to become better acquainted—to learn to work with oth- ON THE JAPS “It is now just five years since the great mass of American troops started back from Europe.

There may not bo a possibility of proving absolutely, so that a jury would accept it, that Mr. Fall received compensation from the lessees of these lands for his service in getting them tho leases, but people are not blind to tho fact that $100,000 loans with­ out interest aro not normal busincas transactions. Further ft Is well un­ derstood that the handing over of $25,000 of government bonds to a government official by representatives of one of the oil interests, favorably affected by that official's action, can­ not be explained os being anything less than a corrupt proceeding in the public mind. It is a delight to the country to sec how promptly President Coolidge act­ ed. His first move after tho details of tho scandal became public was to choose two of this country’s most famous lawyers as special counsel for tho government to prosecute tho case for the government. In making a se­ lection of attorneys President Coolidge showed that fairness of spirit which has Actuated him in everything he has done as tho head of this government. Ho selected Thomas W. Gregory, of Dallas, Texas, a democrat, and Attor­ ney General of the United- States un­ der President Wilson, and Silas W. Strawn, of Chicago, a republican, as the other. Both men stand at the very head of their profession, and are regarded as tho highest type of men who eould have been named for such a.service as this.

By intensified organization, by providing proper facilities, abundant faw materials, pleasant work­ ing conditions, and by encouraging initiative—the Company makes it possible for every man in its employ to develop the best there is in him and to conclusively provp his worth by his achievements. Through intensive study and extensive research and experiments, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has found ways to recover more than a score of useful products from waste — products that fill a definite place in the commercial or domestic affairs of mankind. Time was when gasoline was waste in ths petro­ leum industry. Today, it is the major product Perhaps the outstanding example of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) achievements, in elim­ inating waste, is in the increased yield of gasoline per barrel of crude made possible by processes discovered and developed in its laboratories. This achievement is the greater because of the imperative urge for more gasoline. Babies Fed by Force.

In 1918 there were 6,146,617 cars and trucks registered ’in the United States. In 1922 there were 12,239,114—or an increase of nearly 100%. In 1918 the industry produced 326 million barrels of crude, as against 501 million barrels in 1922—-an increase of only 53% plus. Statistics show that while less than 10 gallons of gasoline were recovered per barrel of cnide in 1918 that the industry increased the yield to more than 12 gallons per barrel in 1922. This increased yield was due largely to the process as developed by this Company, and with­ out such an increased yield the price of gw^bw unquestionably would be higher.

All the impurities are not only taken out of the grain, but all the “fuzz” and dirt arc removed from the wheat.

BooaU R. MePtak. ktmijaad: Circuit Judge. lureuce M. Campbell, De*«ty Cterk of the Court. Bldj., Kataouuoo, In a great majority of flouring mills where QUANTITY of flour manufactured rather than QUALITY, is considered, a lot of foul stuff is pot 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 and requires special machinery to do it Mtebigu. OXDKB OT PUBLICATION. r, in Chancery, nlift. The 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. B*Ip»< O. Baxter. Defendant •nit pending in Circuit d. ins. We feel that every person who uses FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is entitled to a good, clean, pure product, and that is what we give them. We spent a good many thousands of dollars for the most modern equipment to provide our patrons with the VERY BEST FLOUR THAT CAN BE MADE. O. Baxter, Good, 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 you are getting a cleaner and better flour, and one that is not touched by human hands from the time the wheat is dumped into our hoppers until the sack is delivered at your door. If you are not particular about the flour you buy, then the care we use in cleaning the grain, and the sanitary methods we use in manu­ facture from start to finish, may not appeal to you. But if you are 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. *~ We’ve been making FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR for more than 48 years. We’ve established a reputation for QUALITY, PURITY and CLEANLINESS that is a valuable asset to this business, and wa cannot afford to do one single thing that would detract from that repu­ tation.

There arc many people who have thought and do still think that the Boy Scouts of America is on organization which is to be used to make a good Impression upon the public in parades and other similar public activities. Other times, it is thought, that the Boy Scouts amuse themselves by some mis­ cellaneous mischief. A great many of the people let their imagination run away with them. They have many wild ideas concerning the Boy Seouts, while the very truth is that they do not know what th© Boy Scouts are, and for what purpose they are meant. The Boy Scant* of America is an or­ ganization which is over half a million strong in the United States alone. It is the largest uniformed organization in the United States, NOT excepting the Army and Navy combined. It is the only organization outside of the Army and Navy, and excepting the American Red Cross, which is protect­ ed by a special act,.of Congress in tho use of it uniform and insignia. This organization was first incorpo­ rated under the laws of the District of Columbia on February 8, 1910, for the purpose of promoting Character Build­ ing, Americanization, and Citizenship Training. The Boy Scouts is NOT an organiza­ tion which is parallel, in its purposes, to other organizations already estab­ lished. Its atm is to promote tho abili­ ty in boys to do things for others and themselves. This organization has features in it which are most appealing to boys. These features may be summed up as Scoutcraft, which includes: Safety First methods, First Aid, Life Saving, Track­ ing, Signaling, Nature Study, Camp­ craft, Woodcraft, Patriotism, and nu­ merous other subject. Tho Boy Scouts of America realize greatly the influence that. Scoutcraft has upon boys, therefore, through its influence the boys .are taught correct Scoutcraft, their characters are built up, and there is made known to them the immense value of Good Citizenship.

GAVE GOOD SENSIBLE TALK ON AGRICULTURE Next Three Meetings Will Be Interesting, Closing With OU. vet College Orchestra To Give Pageant, “The Commonwealth of God.” The Official Arrival of Spring The pageant which will be given at the Methodist church in Hastings next Sunday night is probably the masterpiece of the author. It con­ tains four great acenes and with over one hundred character*; people of many races and tongues, soldiers in khaki, women in Greek costumes, Indians and immigrants. Those who were at the state Sa ail ay School convention will remember this wonderful production by H. Augustine Smith. The first scene is entitled “The Flag of Freedom and Brotherhood.” It Is an Americanization scone ijrthe court of Columbia, the plaoc'whrtc Americana are made. The second acene is “Wreaths of Commemoration,” in which triMtte* are paid and wreaths bestowed upon those who have offered themselves upon the altar of their country’s need. The third acene, “Bells of Peace and World Fellowship,’’ tell of the coming time when disease nnd selfishness and wnr shall be things of the past, and when Peace and Righteousness and Christ likeness shall have become realities in the world. The fourth scene is of “The Cross of Christ.” Beginning with the birth of Jesus it moves on to the Crucifixion, and then follows the grand procession from north, south, east and wwt; Indians und Esqui­ maux; Africans, Hindoos ami Hawaiian* coming out of the darkness into the light of the cross; finally closing with the song, “In Christ there is no East or West, In Him no North or South, But one great fellowship of love, Throughout the whole wide earth.” .

When you receive credit, it means that you are given Thirty Days to pay. Unless you have reached a definite agreement with the business man you are dealing with to have a longer credit period, you are rated Prompt only when you pay within Thirty Days. “ • If you are obligating yourself to an amount larger than you can take care of within a month, have it definitely understood how long you have to pay. If you are buying merchandise on the installment plan, you are rated Prompt only when you. make your payments each month on the date agreed upon. When you find you cannot make your payments within the time limit, let your creditor know the reason. i When sickness, lack of employment or any other reason prevents your keeping your promise to pay, tell the merchant why. By explaining your inability to pay, you protect your credit standing as your creditor reports to the Credit Exchange and your prompt rating is kept intact. IMPORT A NT l-,n^ess understood by agreement to the contrary, SlrSS VAI V * V 1 all charge accounts are payable within 30 days. HASTINGS CREDIT EXCHANGE ROOM 8—STEBBINS BLDG.

It isn’t all in the equipment that one may have, nor the methods that may be followed though they are important. One must have a liking for it. because with it there is indescribable something, a sort of intuition that applies to each case just the attention it should have.

The extensive injury and destruction week with a colij. _ ___________ _ of trees of all kinds during the recent itunn hu brought uuray inquiriea to the United States Department of Agri­ culture regarding the proper methods ”1 to be followed in repairing the damage • done. The following suggestions un­ made by the department: The first thing that should be done is to remove ra'h large broken branches as arc now, or may become, a menace to life and property; this is usually boat done by cutting at the point where broken. Attention should then be given to injuries on the main trunk. If limbs have been split, or partially split, from the main trunk, all splintered wood about the wound should be re­ moved with a sharp gouge nnd mullet, if not so situated that it ean bo sawed off. The scar should be smoothed in the manner indicated in Farmers’ Bul­ letin 1178, Tree Surgery, and treated as an open cavity, or as a large sur­ Under the Auspices of face wound, us the case may necessi­ tate. Attention should be next be given Will Be Held at to repairing the injuries on the larger branches in a similar manner, and last of all to the amaller branches. Some­ times when a limb is broken away the tree is so weakened at the point of breakage that it may again break in a severe wind, and to obviate this the top must be pruned back more or less severely. In case of split crotches, the NEW DECORATIONS ALL the LATEST MODELS advice given in Farmers’ Bulletin 1178 AND OF PASSENGER CARS should be followed regarding the genNEW ATTRACTIONS UNDER ONE ROOF * ” bolting oral treatment, ineluding through and above the crack. In eases of estates where a great amount of injury has occurred, and only a comparatively small force is available for repairing the damage, the final cut­ ting of long stubs can be conveniently left for a time, but wounds or breaks on the main trunk, or close to it, should be attended to promptly, in any case before warm weather arrives. It is not necessary to fill cavities. It is better in most cases to leave them open. All final cuts should be imme­ diately covered with some good anti­ septic and waterproof paint. It will not be necessary to specially treat the ends of long stubs that are to be re­ moved close to the trunk later in the season. In no part of repair work should climbing spurs be used on a tree. Spur marks cause injuries through which it I is possible for disease and decay germs to ‘enter and cause damage, in some eases more severe than would have de­ veloped from the original simple break. For details of treatment of all scan and wounds send for a copy of Farmera' Bulletin 1178, which can be ob­ tained from the Office of Publications, Department of Agriculture, Washing­ ton, D. C. . Remember that prevention ris better than cure. ■ The open wound of today ■ecomes the decayed spot of next year .nd the deep rotten cavity of 10 years from now.

The position of editor-in-chief of the 1924 edition of the Hastonian is held by Claude Kantner, a senior in Has­ tings High school, who was chosen for this position because of his marked literary and executive ability. Mr. Kantner entered High school with the honor of having the second highest average of marks on his eighth grade examination of any rural district in Barry county for that year. He has always taken an active part in High school activities, especially along literary and oratorical lines. In his freshman year, his most notable accomplishment was the winning of n host of friends and his selection ar freshman speaker at the High school banquet.

Febniary 3 issue of the Chicago Herald-Examiner, Mr. Arthur Brisbane says: "Henry Ford said to this writer a couple of years ago — ‘Standard Oil is the most ably managed concern in the United States’.” Naturally such sweeping commendation is gratifying but if, as we suspect, and want to believe, Mr. Ford s remark was prompted by ing in rendwing a superior service to the public, then it is doubly pleasing. For service in its biggest, broadest interpreta­ tion ra the principle governing all the activities The Management of this Company construes It is the whole-souled, enthusiastic perform­ ance of these functions that constitutes real service. To gain a new and useful product from a single base — crude petroleum — without in any way affecting the quality of other useful products—that is service. To maintain, unfailingly, a superior standard of quality—that is service. To make itpossibie for the man in the refrote places to get Standard Oil products with de­ pendable regularity—that is service. To produce an oil that will increase the revo­ lutions per minute of machinery in other essential industries and thereby increase their output—that is service. To manufacture petroleum products of a quality that will prolong the life and add to the power of the modern internal combustion engine—that is service. To maintain a fair and equitable price for its products—that is service. Skill in management of any business is mir­ rored in the service rendered.

Sales have mounted until last year 145,000 buyers of quality cars se­ lected Studebakers. They paid over $200,000,000 for them. All must realize that a new situa­ tion has arisen in high-grade cars. You who are interested should now analyze the reasons. 15% to conform to those standards exactly. We invested $8,000,000 in a drop forge plant to make all our own drop forgings. $10,000,000 in body plants, to build all bodies to our standards. We employed 1,200 skilled inspec­ tors to see that all standards were fulfilled. There are 30,000 inspec­ tions on Studebaker cars during manufacture, before they go out from the factory. What others say — not what you say — determines your place in the long run. In every field of endeavor one must accept that fact. We had the money, the plants, the prestige. We had the incentive of Studebaker traditions. In time we secured the men. We told those men to build for us the utmost in fine motor cars, regard­ less of all costs. We pledged them our good faith and our resources. That’s the whole story The cost was $50,000,000 , That’s about the whole story.

Of the $50,000,000 in our plants and equipment, $32,000,000 has been invested in the past five years. So it represents the last word in efficient manufacture. We established a Department of Methods and Standards, to fix for every Studebaker detail the maxi­ mum of quality. We created a Bureau of Research and Experiment, employing 125 skilled men.

The Woodland work. Washington, scandal mongers too often get busy and associate the name* of innocent people with it, not stopping even short of the grave. An instance of this kind recently happened in New York eity, when no leas a personage than Hon. Frank A. Vanderlip, well known New York banker, in a speech asserted that" the late President Hard­ ing sold his newspaper, the Marion Star, for twice whnt it was worth, to men without resources, and that the deal was known in Washington to have a sinister character.’’ Mr. Vanderlip was summoned to Washington to appear before the Sen ate Committee investigating the oil scandal, and under a terrific grilling was able to produce not one iota of Eiroof outside the alleged "whisperngs’’ of a small coterie of friends, none of whose names he would disclose. Under the grilling of the inquisitors, the only excuse for giving public utter­ ance to the remarks he did was that he thought his statements "would bring out the truth and kill the gossip." The purchasers of the Marion Star volun­ tarily appeared before the committee and submitted a statement of facts, which thoroughly exploded the state­ ment so widely scattered by Mr. Van­ derlip, and was so complete a refuta­ tion of the charges that they were not even crosa-questioned by the committee. The new owners of the Star now threat­ en to bring a libel suit against Mr. Vanderlip. Another statement made in the speech by Mr. Vanderlip was that "the inves­ tigation had failed to press the exam­ ination of Mr. Fall because he might ‘peach’ on others." The real fact is that Mr. Fall stood upon his constitu­ tional right and refused to testify be­ cause it might incriminate him and this fact was published broadcast at the time, but the New York banker claims he never saw it in print although it held first-page position in all the lead­ ing dailies in the country. There is enough rottenness already uncovered in this oil scandal, with possibly more to come, without more be­ ing manufactured to assail honest repu­ tations. Justice doesn *t call for the sacrifice of good names. Mr. Vanderlip'a outburst is only another demonstra­ tion of how unjust it is possible for Postum ccnM in two lonno : gossip-spreaders to be when the publie, Instant Postum [in dm] pre­ or even the community mind is inflamed. ■ S US'W. B. I DEMOND-CASHMORE. The rural home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cashmoro of Assyria was the scene of a pretty but simple wedding Sunday, when Miss Ruth Cashmore and Fay De mond were united in marriage. Prompt­ ly at one o'clock the bridal couple took their places beneath an arch of pink and white tanked wtth palms on cither aide. Bev. Ellsworth of Battle Creek performed the ceremony in the presence of only the immediate relatives. After the ceremony they' went to the dining room where n dainty three-eourae lunch­ eon was served by Mr. and Mrs. Frank R. Jones. The color scheme of pink and white was also carried out with table decorations. The centerpiece was of pink and white carnations, and the place cards were pink and white nut baskets. The bride was gowned in blue silk. The young couple received some very useful presents. Mr. and Mrs. Demond have the beat wishes of their many friends for a long and hap­ py wedded life.

SHELTER FOR HORSES IF IT STORMS. PACT 1924 Huting* was defeated 22 to 19 in the fastest game of the season, Friday I night, on the local floor. Unable to' retain the lead they held for half of. the game Hastings was nosed out in! the last quarter of the contest. O'Con­ nor, of the locals was high point win­ ner, caging six field goals and three baskets from the foul line. The desperate fighting of both teams throughout threw the spectators into a frenzy of excitement. Time and again Hastings threatened to overcome the lead of Lowell, but Lowell held the situation in hand by earning six points to Hastings five. The final score was 22 to 19.

Capturing the load at the outset of the game, Hastings struggled thrpugh to the end, having kept the score just beyond the grasp of their aspiring opponents. With u strong come back after the first quarter, at which time Lowell was on the dimunitive end of a six to three score, the visitors tracked close on the heels of blastings and threatened their leading score. The centers played the same brand of ball and helped to make the machine run smoothly for Hasting!*.

There is probably more “false 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 use the ordinary flour they invariably got poorer bak­ ings and often have to throw 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 Russell R. MePeek. Conteraignod: Circuit Judge. Florite M. Campbell.

M., And Incidentally the "Bic One" Broke Loose and Got Away as a Result "Stage fright" isn’t exclusively con­ fined to the stage by any manner of means. City Clerk "Pete" Davis and City Marshal Dell Newton have won consid­ erable of a local reputation as fisher­ men, but they both plead guilty to a spell of stage fright that recently cost thorn a beautiful prize. It happened this way: The other day they went up on Leach lake to fish through the ice, taking their spear along, so that they would have it on hand in case of emergency. They had their "tip-upa" all set, and sat down for a while to regale one another with stories of big catches they had ma do on different occasions. After a time they chanced to look at one of their tip-ups some distance away, and noticed that it was down. Pete ran over and commenced to haul in the line. There was a monstrous pickerel oo, and it absolutely refused to bo pulled out of the hole. The old fellow didn’t seem to object to standing away from the holo a few feet and be ad­ mired by the fishermen. Timo and time again the fellow would dash away from the hole, only to be coaxed back to within a few feet of the hole and al­ ways in plain sight. But the lost time out the big pickerel tore out the hook and escaped. Only those who have suffered the deep humiliation of losing an excep­ tionally large fish like this, can appre­ ciate the downcast feeling of the un­ fortunate fishermen which in this in­ stance was increased when Deli asked: "By Jove, why didn’t we spear that pickerel when we had it right up to the hole!" "By Heck,” “id Pete, "I forgot all •bout that spear." The tiro have not yet quit kicking themselves, mentally of course, for car­ rying a spear way up to Leach lake and then forgetting to use it in landing a fine pickerel that both agree would weigh 15 pounds or better. on the life of Lew Sarett, woodsman­ poet, who will appear here in a lecture recital on Community Lecture course, Friday evening, Mar. 7i Sarett'a life has been vigorous, adventurous—full of vital experiences Mr. Sarett knows the wilderness of the Eeat Northwest; he has lived with the dians; he knows their superstitions, traditions, and weird ceremonials.

No. 17—The Wanderer's Night Anton Rubinstein, one of the world’s Ksatest pianists and composers, was rn in Russia in 1830. Critics the world over agree that with the excep­ tion of Liszt, Rubinstein is the greatest pianist of all time. In 1872 he made a very successful concert tour of thoUnitcd States. Even when his memory was unreliable and his eyesight almost gone he was offered $125,000 for a second American tour. He played not to the gaUery but simply to himself and could make the piano weep, laugh, talk and rocr like a lion. Despite his success as a pianist. Rulinstein died a akappointed man be­ cause his compositions were not fuUy appreciated. If Rubinstein had lived £0 years earlier he would probably have been as great as Mendelssohn, but the Wagoer tide was sweeping the mu­ sical world and Rubinstein refused to "swim the current.’’ His operas lack­ ed the modern dramatic spirit and so were refused by the public. He died in Petrograd in 1894. "The Wanderer’s Night Song" is one of his best known songs. CLAYTON M. CLEMENS. Having decided to move north, Clay­ ton M.

I First Settlers — Robert Scales Another Pioneer Throughout the rural schools in this and other counties of the state, the pu­ pils planning on writing the eighth grade examinations are getting all the information possible about the early history of their respective townships and counties. While looking through the BANNER files of 1874, a very interesting article about Barry county was found in the February 11 issue, concerning the first settlers,” the lakes, Moran the Indian trader, and other items which might be of help to these young people, so we are publishing it this week. It was written by J. T. Emory, a former Has­ tings man and one whom the older resi­ dents will well remember. The article is as follows: In presenting to the readers of Barry county its early history, I shall con­ fine myself to facts gleaned from pub­ lic records and the memory of its oMert residents. Should any mistakes occur in the following history of the county, I desire to be corrected, Ihnt its history may appear in print ns correct as possi­ ble for future reference—we arc all liaable to errors. Barry county lies in tho third tier nf counties north of the south line of the state, and.in the first tier north of the base line, thereby occupies a central po­ sition. The face of the county is gen­ erally rolling, in some parts more hilly than othera; it is diversified with beech, maple and oak openings, small prairies in different parts. The soil is well adapted to agricultural purposes and cannot be surpassed for winter wheat in this state. It is well watered by its pure, gush­ ing springs from the hillsides, its clear and beautiful lakes shaded by the wide spreading oaks. Its numerous clear and sparkling streams, the largest of which is the Thornapple river, its limpid wa­ ters running diagonally through the county from the southeast portion to the northwest part, crossing the county line about four rods west of the coun­ ty line on section two in Thornapple township; it is fad by numerous tribowood mill sites. ftgs, and others throughout the county. The next in size is the Little Thornapple zigzagging its course through the north part of the county; it also affords some good mill sites. It empties into the Thornapple about one-half mile north of the county line on section 35, in Caledonia, Kent county.

Mr. Bowne was probably one of the very oldest pioneers of Burry county at the time of his death.

Many of the older residents of this county, now living, in clearing up their farms, can testify to rolling great large logs on the "log heaps” and burning them. Timber then wasn’t worth anything and was regarded as more or less of a nuisance that had to be done away with in some manner, in order to clear off the land and produce crops, which were needed. If a man today had all the logs that were thus burned, ho would be listed in the "Who’s Who" column on aeeount of his great wealth, if- for no other reason. But timber, like so many other thiaga in the world, became valuable as it be­ came scarcer. The great forests of large trees around here ere gone. But oeeaaionally a large tree would be overlooked, or permitted to stand by the cutters, and they have remained as a sort of sentinel to remind us of old pioneer days in Barry eounty, and what real timber looked like. Occasionally some of these large loge find their way to the saw mills. Re­ cently a couple of them eame to Ray Pierce’s mill over near the old C. K. A 8. depot. One of them waa a black walnut log four feet in diameter. The other was a 14-foot whitewood log that scaled 680 feet.

The Tactful Conduct of Funeral Arrangements KITS COTY HOUSE MONUMENT Ancient P||« of stones In Wheat FI*M In England Marks Battlefield Of 455. In the year 1827 a citlxen of Lon­ don spent a holiday at Hollingsboarne In Kent. He wrote in his diary that the principal object which arrested his attention was a large pile of stones in a wheat field by the roadside, and on inquiry found It was Kits Coty bouse. Antiquarians tell us thut in the year 455 h battle took place between the Britons and Danes on the banks of the Medway at Ayleaford, and the stones now remaining are supposed to be s pert of a monument then erected. There are two immense stone slabsf each nine tops weight, fixed on the end In the ground and inclining toward each other. Another slab is between them for support, and one great stone, of more than twelve tons, Iles as a roof transversely over all, making a kind of cell about seven feet each way and the same tn height. Today Kits Coty house stands as it did when the writer of the diary so carefully describedJX 90 years ago. In all probability, however, this crom­ lech had its origin long before the year 455, and it may even date baek to the Stone age. As to its name, it is pos­ sible that this monument was styled "Kits Coty house" during the Middle Agee. A Kentish rhyme of medieval origin refers to “Kit” going to Canter­ bury, and it la not at all improbable that Kit was a popular name among the pilgrims who would travel along the Pilgrims' Way (an old track run­ ning from Winchester to Canterbury), which crosses this very hillside only a few hundred yards down ths hilt—De­ troit News.

So atliiit’she disgustedly curled up against the side of the house and settled herself to wait for her moth­ er's return.

Fifteen minutes later Mrs. Ingalls came up the walk and, seeing her daughter sitting on the steps In the circle of Dick's arm, gasped: "Why-y, Jessie—I—I am surprised!"

We (the people of England) pride ourselves that we are governed by a constitutional sovereign and that the old bereay of the divine right of kings to govern wrongly has been exploded and is not likely to be set up again. Yet occasionally we are reminded of an incident or custom which carries us back to the days of feudalism. For instance, the feudal quit rent for a plot of land in Shropshire, grant* ed to the city of London In 1211 by King John. It consists of a new hatchet, a new billbook and two fag­ gots. These articles must be presented to tiie king every year hy tlie city cor­ poration, and it Is a fact that the two faggots ore solemnly chopped in pieces by the city solicitor at the law courts In the presence of various high offi­ cials. The “chips," together with hatchet and billbook, are banded to the king's remembrancer. This ceremony is preceded by an­ other of a similar character, for six horseshoes and sixty-one nqlls are handed to the king's representative. They represent the rent for the plot of ground now occupied by the law courts. This plot was occupied at one time by a farrier, whose duty It was to shoe the horses of the knights who fought in the tournaments held doee at hand. King George's feudal status Is even more marked in the Channel islands. When the sovereign visited Guernsey some time ago the stigneurs knelt before him. They placed their hand* between bis and recited the oath of homage In Nor­ man French, while the king, reading from a card held by the queen, con­ firmed each seigneur In his privilege*. The holder of one flef was a woman who, for the lead she held, presented the king with a pair of gotten spurn.— London Tit-Bits. Best Ballast for Mind.

The reason is simple enough. The quarts allows the ready passing of the eocalled ultra-violet rays of light, which will not penetrate glass, and these in turn produce a different effect from the rest of the rays.

Great Reductions On All The fumes of-dried coltsfoot were ised os a remedy in case of difficulty i tn breathing, both in ancient Roman times and In Tudor Englund.

The leaves of coltsfoot and other plants have often been used as a sub­ stitute for tobacco in modern days. A correspondent of Notes nnd Queries, In 18H7, said that when he wue a boy he knew an old Calvinist minister who used to smoke n dry mixture of the leaves of horehound, yarrow and “foalsfoot”' intermingled with a small quantity of tobacco. He said It wns a very good substitute for the genuine article. i Similar mixtures, or the leaves of ' coltsfoot alone, hiive often been ' smoked In bygone duys by folk who 1 could not afford to smoke tobacco only.

THIS ESKIMO HAD GUMPTION Work of Native Woman, Who Wat Sole Survivor of Arctic Expedi­ tion, le Marvelous. Those who have followed the dally press during recent weeks have prob ably noticed the disastrous and tragic ending of the recent Wrnngel island arctic expedition. In the account of which Ada Blackjack, an Eskimo woman, figures. £J£iklngly, says Mad Ison Cooper in tfff-’lowrr Grower. For fortltu^fc .fcrarage, resourceful­ ness, religious merit and all around gumption, Ada Blackjack serves us an object lesson to many of her brothers and sisters of greater opportunities and enlightenment. Compared with a person of the strongest mental bal­ ance and with the greatest physical endurance and experience, the accom­ plishments of tills mite of, humanity (she Is less than five feet tall). are most marvelous. While nursing a dying companion, confined to ills bed for weeks, this little woman jierformed all of the duties necessary for an exist­ ence In the polar regions. Including cutting wood, trapping, limiting, cook Ing, etc. She even during this time learned to use firearms nnd shot seals to help out the scanty food supply. The real worth of a human being is only demonstrated by necessity com­ bined with opportunity. Under circum­ stances which we of the so-called dv lllzed races of the earth would prob­ ably have succumbed to discourage­ ment and disease, Ada Blackjack rose triumphant and never showed the "white feather" or what our modern slang calls a "yellow streak." If Adn Blackjack is a good representative of her race, truly the Eskimo has never been valued at Ids true worth. SNOWFLAKE HAS SIX STARS Farmer, Who Has Photographed Over Designed From Them. Lacemnkers, Jewelers, designers of silks, wall papers and table linens, and even bakers and confectioners, are now borrowing the ornamental designs foi their products from snowflakes, writes Wilson A. Bentley, snowflake photog­ rapher. During 41 years Bentley, who Is a fanner of Jericho, Vt., tins photo­ graphed more than 4,000 snowflakes, and asserts he has found no two alike. He adds that no two could possibly be alike, since the shape of a snowflake depends on temperature, humidity and chemical and electrical content of the atmosphere through which it falls. It Is Inconceivable, be says, that any two snowflakes could ever encounter exact­ ly the same atmospheric conditions In their jounjey to earth. In one respect, however, Bentley de­ clares all snowflakes to be alike—all are some variation of a six-pointed star. Though a casual look at the suowflake may seem to Indicate that It departs from thia form, mlcrowoplc Inspectlon will always show the six points. Bentley began studying snowflakes with a microscope at the age of six­ teen. Later he acquired a microscopic camera and bad completed quite a gal­ lery of snowflake photographs, before he realised that the work he was nurs­ ing as a hobby had any commercial value. Then a lace manufacturer bought some photographs from him and since then he has found a steady market for his pictures.—Popular Sci­ ence Montidy. Rain Shifts Ranch. It Is not often that a man goes to bed at night with his property In one country and awakens next morning to find some of It In another, but such is the case which has recently happened on the United Btstes-Mexlcan border? An in ernatlonal boundary change, in which a portion of an American ranch has become Mexican territory, has taken place owing to the heavy rains in northern Mexico. After the waters of the Rio Grande had sub­ sided, Ben Kell, a Texas rancher, found that the course of the river had changed somewhat and part of Ills lands were in Mexican territory. Keil is reported to have gone to Reynosa, in the state of Tamaulipas, to register the property now in Mex­ ico. ADVANCE tlon of Sublime Master­ pieces.

TWO LOOS OF VERY UNUSUAL SIZE Wen Recently Received at Ray Pierce’* Saw Mill Near Old C. X. S S. Depot A aort of u ocho of tho old pioneer dare, when timber wu large and plentiful in Barry county, was received at Bay Pierce’s saw mill in this eity re cently, in the form of a walnut log four feet in diameter and a 14 foot whitewood log that scaled 680 feet. Forty or fifty years ago such logs as these would not have created any more than passing notice, but in these days the "saw-logs" that are usually to be found around saw mills, would have hardly been regarded as good fence poets in the early days. And still the destruction of timber goes merrily on with little thought for the morrow, timber lands being de­ nuded and lumber prices constantly mounting.

ORIENTAL FAREWELL QUIET Forma Sharp Contrast to Roars of Oc­ cidental Crowd as Ships Leave Port. As the big liner steamed out of port a hoarse, deep-throated roar shook her tan and black funnels; and a lesser, wilder cry burst from the thousands alongside. Roses pelted down from the decks above, arms whirled like pin wheels, and deafening crowds screamed their farewells. But lu the throng a little pool oi silence brooded undisturbed. Six Im­ passive oriental faces formed a half moon of silence as old as the Dawn of Creation. Sphinxlike, through im­ penetrable almond eyes they watched the whirlwind sweep the crowd. What was the going *of a mere vessel to such as they? Up on the Ship's higher deck stood a lone oriental figure whose almond eyes focused on the group. A thin yellow hand lifted the black hat hori­ zontally Jn the air. a fleeting ghost of a smile ruffled the Impenetrable eyes. Nothing mure! The yellow faces be­ low gleamed strangely. Six bats rose Simultaneously In air. No waving, no yelling, no cries Only a shadow of a smile in the watching almond eyes. The crowds raged on, shriek­ ing, running, weeping. But the Orient stood silent, smiling Its Impenetrable ancient smile.—New York Sun and Globe.

"Major Watson," Well Known Baed'* Lake Plealure Boat, Float* No More The old wooden, 90 foot, double deck steamer Major Watson, that has done duty on the waters of Reed’s lake at Grand Rapids for nearly 35 years, was recently sold for 950.00 for salvage purposes and the lumber it oontains will be used toward the erection of cot­ tages around the lake or for kindling. The boat, which was built by the present owner's father, Captain Poleeon, eost many thousand dollars and has aevar been on any other water than the tiny lake where it was built as Reed’s lake has no navigable outlet. Many Hastings people have had pleas­ ure rides on the old boat and their children ns well.

N THIS line of work there is a lot more than knowing just how to follow out the rou­ tine which of course it is nec­ essary to know but which most anyone could learn. It isn't all in the equipment that one may have, nor the methods that may be followed, though they are important. One must have a liking for it, because with it there is an indescribable something, a sort of intuition that applies to each case just the attention it should have. The service we have been able to render has not only been highly pleasing to our patrons, but also in keeping with the highest ideals of the profession.

Several in this locality are putting ~ RURAL MAIL ROUTE Mr. and Mrs. Carl Btanton enter­ up iee from Middle lake. [0] Bead Thia Over and Then Make Up Your Mind Whether You'd Like a Job aa Carrier You Rest Easy ! We have recently had one or two articles concerning the distances cov­ ered by rural mail carriers, while tmv' cling their routes over a series of years, and they were very interesting. But how would you like a job as mail car­ rier on thia route! i When the rivers of Northern Canada become frozen, husky dog teams of the Northern Trading Co. leave Fort Mc­ Murray, the teriminus of the Alberta and Great Waterways railroad, for the settlement of Aklavik, 1750 miles to the north. Mail is left at all tho fur trading points along the McKenzie, Save and Athabascan rivers. The little settle­ ment at Aklavik is reached about Fob. 1st, usually, and after a brief rest the ■tart is made on the return trip to Port McMurray, the 1750 miles being covered in about a month on the re turn trip, reaching the railroad usual­ ly a little after March 1st. In this round trip, five relays of dog teams are used, the longest single trip being the 886 miles from Fort Simp son to Aklavik. By the time this stretch is used the load of mail Is prrttr light. thus enabling the dogs to taakc tho entire distance without re­ lief. However the load is large enough •o that the lone driver has no space in his sled for a tent or other comfort. At night he curls up in his blanket* under some convenient spruce tree, with his dogs crowded around him for warmth. All day he breaks trail through the snow, called "mushing," and occasionally has to chop his wav through the ice hummocks, which pile up In the McKenzie river. The position of mail carriers on this route is one that is not eagerly sought for and entails "roughing it" of the most severe kind. Danger lurks on every hand, and the position calls for not only grit, determination and physi­ cal courage, but also the strongest kind of a constitution with great strength and endurance. The round trip is 3500 miles and usually takes a little over two months in the midst of an Arctic winter and over roads that are anything but improved. Who wants the position of carrier on this mail route! Don't all speak at once. There is a wonderful STRENGTH and great SATISFACTION of mind in a Bank Account. 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! Think What Such a System Would Have Done for You Had You Commenced It Five or Ten Years Ago! Think what sucl^a System will mean. for you FIVE or TEN YEARS hence. It means the difference between SUCCESS and FAILURE. 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 it is really a reward for your habits of THRIFT. We pay you 3 per cent Interest Compounded Semi-Annually upon your Savings and every dollar you deposit with us is safe-guarded by approved, up-to-date methods. More than that, every patron is accorded courteous treatment, and the most liberal terms consistent with sound banking. HOLMES CHURCH. Shirley and Anna Blood entertained the 500 Club Friday evening.

This was splendidly brought out by Presi­ dent Coolidge in an address on Wash-1 ington’s birthday, when he said in part:— tutions which he (Washington) founded, if we are to improve what he created, we must be like-minded with him, we must continue to accept responsibili­ ties, we must make sacrifices. Under all the laws of God and man there is no other way.” But when we examine the meaning of independence, of constitutional lib­ erty and of self-government we do not find that they are simple rights which society can bestow upon us.

On Saturday evening, Feb. 23, the Hastings city firemen gave a party at the eity hall. This affair for a "GetAcauainted Party" for the firemen and their families. The fire department of the Grand Rapids Bookcase Company, and families, were the guests of the evening. Fifteen games of progressive podro were played, after which a lunch­ eon was served.

After lunch they had a good old-fash­ ioned dance like they had twenty years ago. Some of the older firemen who informed us that they hadn’t danced for twenty years surely could shake a wicked knee.

Shock-absorbers for the feet will be greatly appreciated during cross-coun­ try trips by the passengers in the front seat. An inner tube may be folded and held in place by adhesive tape. The tube takes up the shock if the body is braced against tho seat back. The picnic luneh-box may be turned into a refrigerator by the use of one or two covered cans filled with ice and packed among the food. This keeps the cream sweet and makes the vegetables crisp and fresh. For the traveling medicine-chest, hold three or four bottles together tightly, bind with adhesive tape, and tuck into your bag. This prevents their jarring about and insures their safety.—From The Delineator Magazine for March. VANDEBLIP SUED FOR LIBEL.

In the five years since the "boys'' began coming back from serv­ ice, the Legion has accomplished much in a national way; and similarly the local Post has been effective in its work for the veterans of the World War. The present commander is Bay C. ConThe Post is now conducting a re­ cruiting drive among all ex-service men of the community, and its officers are confident that they will at least double their enrollment. For a time, Legion enthusiasm fell off, aa the men were tired of the war and its memorise, but recently there has been felt everywhere a renewal of interest. One of the most interesting things done by the Legion here was through its Auxiliary. Last fall, thia organiza­ tion gathered a total of 1200 quarts of fine home-packed fruit, which was sent to the American Legion hospital for tubercular* at Battle Creek. Both the Post and its Auxiliary have taken "Service" as their motto. Their ac­ tivities in patriotic ceremonies are well known. Mr. Conaway says: "We should like to have every veteran enrolled in our ranks. Every ex-service man should realize that in union there is strength. Too often a veteran will wait until some misfortune or adversity has over­ taken him before he gets in touch with the Legion. We are glad to be of serv­ ice to any veteran, member or non­ member, but it is manifestly fairer and better for every ex-service man to get within the ranks. ning a number of get-together meetings and social gatherings which will prove mighty weleomo to tho veterans and their wives and sweethearts. "Our next rally will be March 4th. ia tho K. of P. hall, and wo shall wel­ come to that meeting every ex-service man in Hastings. Reports from the rest of the state show oxeellent results.

The Small Account! Buick Cushions Are Comfortable On All Roads There are folks who feel that the average banker has little use for a small account. The cushions on Buick open cars are supported on double-deck springs. The upper springs, light and easy acting, smooth out slight road irregularities, while the larger and stronger lowers absorb the bump* that cause the ordi­ nary seat to “strike bottom”. Two pads of curled hair between springs and French plaited upholstery give that final softness and assure the purchaser a cushion that will stand up. • That’s a mistake—a big one—for we know that time and again the small account grows into a big one, through persistent effort.

We have a problem, therefore, not merely of conservation but of supply, and its solution is vital to the material pros­ perity and progress of the United States.” This able statement seems to us to justify further comment. “Virtually every one in the nation is a user of oil”—oil in some form enters into the manufacture of every article of com­ merce. Without it the commodities you use could not be manufactured and sold for the price you pay now. "Consumption grows at a rapid pace” —to illuminate this statement it is only nec­ essary tOrshow that in the ten states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) there were, on January 1, 1924, 4,855,739 automotive vehicles registered. This is 807,367 more than were registered on January 1, 1923. “Conservation” —it is a well-known fact that the Standard Oil Company (Ind­ iana) by means of processes discovered and developed in its own laboratories has contributed more to increasing the yield of gasoline from a given quantity of crude than any other refiner. This increased yield was secured without in any way affecting the quality of the gasoline and without touching that portion of the crude which goes into the manufacture of lubricating oib. “Vital to the material prosperity and progress of the United States”—commit here seems unnecessary as all must recog-nize the part played by petroleum in “Thia Age of Oil/ The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has achieved its signal success in “This Age of Oil” by practicing the principles of fairness, equity and justice.

Here are some costs on Studebaker cars Would you have us cut them dozvn? E are lavish on Studebaker cava. For some features we pay three and four times what they need cost. Here are some of those costs which affect you. Tell us—would you want any one reduced? Our prices on high-grade Sixes run from $1025 to $2685. They stand at bottom in the fine-car field, despite these extra costs. All because the de­ mand requires 150,000 cars per year. But they could be lower if we cut these costs. Would you have us do it? W J formulas exact. We could save that extra on “commercial runs.” We are one of the very few build­ ers, either in Europe or America^ using crankshafts machined on all surfaces. It costs us $600,000 a year to give you this. But it results in that smoothness of operation, that lack of vibration which characterizes only the most expensive cars. Every Studebaker car is Timkenequipped. The Special-Six and the Big-Six have more Timken bearings than any car selling under $5,600 in America. The Light-Six more than any competitive car within $1,500 of its price. The many extras on our large closed cars would cost much if you bought them. The nickel-pl^ted bumpers, the extra disc wheels and Cord tires, the steel trunk, the cour­ tesy light, motometer, etc. Extras to our men We pay the highest labor scale.

Charlotte tipped off the first score but was quickly followed by tho zeal­ ous locals w4m added a point to their credit. Many opportunities were lost by the local forwards through their in­ ability to find the basket, while Char­ lotte’s point-winners quickly adapted themselves and seemed to find the range with ease. Advancing almost simultaneously, the two teams piled up their scores so that the first half resulted in a tie of 7 to 7. The Totals eame back strong and bol­ stered up their score by two more bas­ kets. Constant technical fouling was called on the visitors, although Hastings se­ cured only a few points from her many attempts. Hastings High basketeers romped over Charlotte for the second time this sea­ son Friday evening in the local gym, the final score being 24 to 13. Both teams were playing a, good brand of ball although their basket-shooting was very erratic at times. The honors of basket-shooting go to O ‘Connor, the rangy center, who scored •even deuces and gift shot. Haun, of Charlotte, managed to eolleet three from the field and one from the circle, thus taking second honors. The game was a hard-fought battle —both teams using surplus energy. Al­ though all the men were fighting madly at the end of the first quarter, only one foul had been called, in fact only sev­ en fouls were made during the whole game.

When will the “point of saturation’’ bo reached in the automobile manufac­ turing business! Every year now, for the past several years, the annual pre­ diction has boon made that the auto­ mobile buainess “will have to slow down this year,” because tho market ’is getting well supplied with cars— the “point of saturation” has been reached. But every such predietion as that has been met with a greatly increased production and sale of ears that has left the prophets in open-mouthed won­ der at the great increase. Take the case of the Studebaker cars. At the close of 1920 the usual predietion was made that production would 'have to be curtailed because demand was being supplied. But despite this diro prediction Studebaker increased 1its production in 1921 to 66,643 auto­ mobiles. In 1922 under tho same pre­ dictions, the number of Studebaker cars sold jumped to 110,269. In 1923 history repeated itself and tho number, of chrs sold jumped to 145,162, or more than twice tho number sold in 1921, only two years before. What will 1924 be! The factory is crowded with orders and thia year pro­ mises to the “banner year,’’ just the same as the previous years have been. When will the “point of saturation” bo reached and tho market supplied! One man’s guess is just as good as another’s, but the fact remains that Studebaker, as well ns makers of oth er well known cars, arc going right ahead to increase production. In the cities, Inrge and small, when new residences are built; garages are constructed that will house two, three and often four ears and occasionally more. This means that instead of ono enr serving a family it now takes two or more. Thia one clement is greatly enlarging tho market. Many cars an* destroyed during tho year; “many be­ come worn out. It takes more can* every year to supply this loss. When will the “point of saturation” be reached anyway! Is there any such point! Automobile manufacturers seem to be running on the theory that there is not and they all seem to Ihj busy. BAXBYVILLB. Bunday School lemon: “Tho Revival under Samuel.” Next Bunday Mr*.

There are many boys who are aeon carelessly swinging a hatehet or throw­ ing a knife without tho least precau­ tion as to the endangering of lives. A hatchet or knife is soon without value if improperly used. Every boy looks forward to tho days of enmping, but oft times he is disap­ pointed because he cannot build a fire without using n combustible, such as paper, and besides using a grant num­ ber of matches. After his fire is built ho meets another disappointment for he eannot properly cook his food.

He seldom revised his work, being in this respect ths opposite of Becthov'en. Schubert was by nature a song writer, He Com­ posed as a bird sings in the spring, sim­ ply because he couldn’t help it. More than six hundred songs by Schubert have been published. “Whoiis Bylviaf’’.is one of the test known of his songs. The song is nn art song in atrophic style—each, stanza is sung to the same melody. The harp accompaniment suggests the twanging guitar of the sereaudera. There tho song begins, its smoothly flowing melo­ dy, beautiful in its simplicity, as the singer ex tolls the virtues of “Sylvia." No. 23—To a Water LUy—MacDowell. v Edward MacDowell (1881-1905) was born in New York. He is the greatest composer the American continent has produced. He had an individuality in his composition which, although he re­ ceived a part of his training in Europe, waa truly American. He wrote in all tho larger forms, and his sonatas have been favorablv compared with those of Beethoven. He ranks high among mod­ ern composers. MacDowell often wrote beautiful tone-poems for children. The little gem, “To a Water Lily," is one of these from the collection of “Woodland Sketches.” It is a delightful bit of • tone color and artistic treatment. “To a Water Lily** is absolute mu­ sic. It is a breath of the woods. The melody is ouictly sustained, there is no ornamentation of theme, no showy pas­ sages of accompaniment frnd should be heard for its sheer beauty. Nq. 24—La Paloma—Yradler. Sebastian Yradicr, a Spanish song writer, died in 1865. Nohting is known of his life. *H cleft some tweoty-flve songs of which “La Paloma" is the most popular. “Ia Paloma" (“The Dove"), is a ’“composed folk-song." It is based on - the rhythm of the Habanera, a dance behoved to have originated in Havana, though in all probability it also camo from Spain. It is tropical in its ten­ derness and ardor. It is a love-song, naive, outspoken, Latin in a certain childlike frankness and fervor. It is hard to believe, and it has yet to be proven, that Yradier did not pick up this melody from some highway of Spain or her possessions. For it has not only tho folk feeling, but the irftgular form of melody that one finds in music of snore or less primitive origin. The rhythm is distinctly Spanish and the eastanets can almftst be heard in the movement of the accompaniment. NASHVILLE. Chas. Cool spent Tuesday in Gr^nd Rapids.

A. 0. Stations Fails to Support Contentions Being Made Claims being made in the state at {resent that a few hundred pqnnds of ydrated lime are as good ns a ton or more of limestone for agricultural pur­ poses are not born out by results of experimental wftrk at various Michigan Agricultural College test stations. “Buch statements are erroneous,’’ •ays Dr. M. M. McCool, head of the college soils department, “and doubt­ less lead to a high per acre,lime cost in certain sections of the state.” Results of experiments on the rela­ tive efficiency of hydrated lime, finely ground limestone, and medium ground limestone, carried on by the college at the Cass County farm and other experi­ mental plots, have thrown interesting light on thia important question. The conclusions are supported, also, by work in other -states. " As e result of these and many other experiments,” says Dr. McCool, “we have, steadfastly maintained that under most conditions it is doubtless more practicable for a farmer to use lime­ stone, preferably the finer material, such as the finely pulverized stone or the medium finely ground limestone, than it is for him to use ths hydrate. “We have adopted the following figures for a working basis:.500 pounds of hydrated lime, 800 pounds of finely pulverized lime, or 1000 pounds of medium finely ground material should be considered to give the same results the first year of application, provided they are well incorporated with the soil and there is a sufficient amount of rain­ fall." or PABENTTEACHEBS ABSON.

Floors the size of tho Hastings gym are judged too largo for a twocourt game for girls as the throe-eourt play is considered strenuous enough and less objection is encountered to their playing. Our girls have played but one two-court game this winter, that at Nashville on its runnller floor. Nash­ ville cbaeh, however, understood BarryEaton Athletic Association rules were to bo observed and our coaches, not wishing to delay the game, consented to tho change. Tho Hastings team showed their versatility by the quick­ ness with which they adapted their in­ dividual playing and team work to the more unaccustomed method of play. Tho Nashville girls, used to a smaller floor, showed good fighting spirit and nover quit once. The big score our girls made was due largely to their su­ perior defense and interference which wrought the ball down repeatedly for the fast local forwards, Armbruster and Parker. Vcta Armbruster staged a fine come­ back in this game by making 23 of the 42 points scored, Loleta Parker furnish­ ed 10, and Arloa Foreman the remain­ ing 9. Ruth Lindsay at center was a tower of strength to the team and mixed in evoryhere, while Arloa Foreman as running center did a lot of mussing up Nashville's plays.

Ruing’* FiveYear-Old Cows Show* Wonderful Te*t An extraordinary record for the pro­ duction of butter was made recently by a pure bred Holstein cow in the herd of H. E. Rising at Woodland. According to the advanced registry department of the Holstcin-Fricsian Association of America this cow, Florence Veeman Pontiac, at the age of five years, pro­ duced in seven days 599.1 pounds milk and 28.184 pounds butterfat—equal to 35.2 pounds butter. To prove the productive capacity of ita cows, the dairy breed associations maintain advanced registry departments Which, in conjunction with the state ag­ ricultural colleges, carry on an organized system of officially testing the cows of the breed for milk and butterfat. These official tests are conducted by disinter­ ested men appointed by the state agri­ cultural colleges, are surrounded by every safeguard, and the results are universally accepted as reliable in all respects. This method for making tests originated with Tho Holstein-Frieaian Association of America, but has now been adopt cm! in some of its forms by all of the associations of breeders of dairy cattle.

From Grand Rapid, Herald Concerning Judge L. E^ Knappen ’a formal retirement from the United State Circuit Court bench the Grand Rapids Herald says editorially in it* issue of February 27:— “Judge Loyal E; JCnappen of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday announced his prospective retirement from the Federal Judici­ ary. By his long and exemplary serv­ ice Judge Knappen has earned his re­ lease from these high and exacting rcspopribilitios; hut no one who rates the Federal Judiciary at its proper, vital importance among American gov­ ernmental institutions, can note Judge Knappen’s retirement without deep nnd abiding regrets. Grand Rapids has known him, aa an honored citi­ zen, for nearly forty years. The bench nnd bar of thia nation have come to rate him its an ideal jurist ever since hi* first federal appointment in 1906. It is doubtful whether finer char­ acter, more sterling integrity and in­ dependence, keener legal intuitions, and purer devotion to exaet justice ever combined in any man of onr time who has worn the robes of high court au­ thority. Judge Knappen has gone hi* quiet, modest way—strutting little ex­ ternal attention, yet wholly meeting hia heavy judicial obligations. And this waa clipped from the editor­ ial column of the Grand Rpaids Press, Feb. 28: Judge Loyal E. -Knappen of the United States Circuit Court of Appeal* ha* made, we fear, small contribution to that popular tradition of the bench which holds it austere, isolated and un­ human. As this beloved resident re­ tire* after nearly fifty years of service outstanding impression* center about hi* true neighborliness and citizenship. A jurist who eould be stern when oc­ casion called for “the cold neutrality of an impartial judge,” there seemed nev­ ertheless to be no kindlier man on the bench and no civic activity which eould not call for the sympathy and if needs be tho active participation of Judge Knnppen. His service to tho city on its board of education and to the state upon the university board of regents proved him a citizen unwilling to stand by when his talents dearly qualified him to take a part. The federal bench loses in Judge Knappen one who for nearly two decades has honored its high standards, but Grand Rapids may be pardoned if it but regards his retire­ ment as a coming home.

The price of any commodity ia high or low by comparison. The farmer believes the things he buys are high because some of the things he sells are low. It ia but natural for him to scrutinize the prices of equipment needed in the operation of his farm more carefully than the prices of commodities and luxuries he purchases with money earned by this equipment. The farmer is no different in this respect than other men in business. People as a rule do not argue much about the prices of things desired for the pleasures of life, but when it comes to necessary expenses of business they are very cold-blooded in their reasoning. It is easy fo reconcile the mind to the purchase of things that give pleasure, no matter what the price, and in such purchases all members of a man’s family add their encouragement and approval. We do not urge the farmer to purchase new equipment so long as that he now has is giving good service, but it is poor economy to delay buying new equipment which would increase profits. The farms that produce the greatest profits are the ones best equipped with modern labor-saving machines. Do Yon Want a Spring Setting OF A Monument or Marker?

One sure way to make it come true is to start a Savings Account in the child’s name now, and add to it consistently each week or month. Then when the time arrives for. college the Savings Account with its accrued interest will be ready to take up the burden of expenses. This is the best way we know of preparing for the complete education of your children. This bank has Served this community for years and will be glad to serve you. ■ Hastings National Bank Bankin Barry County Hastings, Michigan scrupulously to scale.

WATERMAN • MICHIGAN �Live Within Your Income f» A hand-to-mouth existence usually means careless­ ness, lack of planning or just plain laziness. Spending all you make is almost criminal. Your responsibilities are life-long obligations, and you can’t make them good if you spend as you go with­ out thought for the future. . Live within your income, some day you may have to live without it. A savings account will provide perpetual income. Start it today. Disabled veterans of the recent World war are earned by General Frank T. Hines, director of the United States Veterans’ Bureau, to present their claims for compensation immediately, as the time limit will soon expire. The War Risk Insurance Act apetifieaUy states: ” "That no compensation shall ba pay­ able unleaa a claim therefor be filed, in case of disability, within five years af­ ter discharge or resignation from the service, or, in case of death during the service, within five years after such death is officially recorded in the de­ partment under which he may be serv­ ing: PROVIDED, however, That where compensation is payable for death or disability occurring after discharge or resignation from the service, claim must be made within five years after such death or the beginning of sueh dis­ ability. 4 . "The time herein provided may be extended by the Director not to exceed one year for good cause shown. If at the time that any right accrues to any person under the provirions of this arti­ cle, such person is a minor, or is of un­ sound mind or physically unable to make a claim, the time herein provided shall begin to run until such disability ceases. ’ ’ As most-of the men were discharged ip 1919, this will be the last year that many of them can legally file claim ex­ cepting in extreme cases where the appcal must be sent to Central Office in Washington and the Director allows the additional year. "I have found that many ex-service men hesitate about filing a claim,’’ said General Hines, "but they should re­ member that their disabilities grow worse instead of better and too often aid is not asked for until it is too late. The Veterans’ Bureau is endeavoring to reach all possible claimants before their time limit has expired." Thought for the Day. It is seldom that the fellow on the side lines doesn't think be known mere zbout the game than the players know. Buick Character Makes Buick Value Buick value is something more than appears on the surface. It is more than the excellence and beauty of Buick design—more than the greater riding comfort, power and safety that Buick provides. Buick’s value comes from the sum total of all those Buick qualities and traditions which together make up Buick character. "A Buick owner fully appreciates Buick character. He knows the dependable, satisfying and trouble-free transportation which Buick gives, however long or however far a Buick owner may elect to drive his car. J. S.

A radio ecrvico com­ pany in New York recently made an in­ vestigation and found that nine-tenth# of all cases in which poor reception waa experienced the trouble was caused by an inefficient ground contact. s “The cold water pipe affords a good ground. Tho wire leading from the ground binding post on tho sat should bo connected to the pipe near to the point where it enter* the build in g. If the water meter is located inside th* building tho connection should be ma de on tho side of the inttcr leading away from tho building. Steam and water heating system! arc usually connected to the water supply and therefore serve as good grounds. The gas pipe should never bo used because an electric spark from tho batteries or static may ignite tho gas. “Radiators serve ns good ground con­ nections. In the center of the handle which turn* off tho heat will bo found a screw.

An uncom­ might interest the women of today: Quite a lot of excitement wns created in the Harlow rural school in Water­ town Twp., Clinton county last week when Myrtle Bindersteadt, one of the Eupils, walked in minus her two lovely raids of hair. lifr story that a ■t range man .had held her up on a mile stretch of lonely road and slashed them off, then stuck thorn in Jtis pocket and pointed a revolver at her, bidding her begone. A deputy sheriff was sum­ moned and a posse of fifty angry men armed to the teeth soon gathered to track the man down. Examination of the tracks however where the incident took place disclosed no othW footprints than the girl's and a search In all di­ rections for a stranger was futile. Then too, Myrtle's descriptions of the man .varied under dose Questioning. Bo conclusions were drawn that she, be­ ing unhappy, because of failure to secure parental consent to bob her hair, took the above means to accomplish it, which shows at least she is a resource­ ful young lady. The paper doesn’t state what Pa and Ma Biedcrateadt did, but judging by the nationality the name discloses, it was not treated as a joke.

I am interested in you and the trees' you buy and want to know how you succeed.; We have grapes to offer at $16, $20, $26, $30 per thousand, etc. Concord and Niagara are the leaders, but I also have a good supply of-Delaware, Brighton.

In infancy, ahe was baptized and confirmed a mem­ ber of Bethlehem Evangelical Luther­ an church op the 5th of February, 1865, by the sainted Rev. J. Bauch. On April 30, 1863, she was united in marriage to Mr. Christian Foster, who preceded her in death nearly four years ago. Ten children .were born to this union, of whom six are stilly living. These are: John D. Foster, of Toledo; Emanuel F., Gibsonburg, O.; Geo. W., Pemberville, and Bimon F., af Pemberville; Mrs. A. F. Bimon, of Andovor, O.; and Mrs. Alta Naylor, Hastings, Mich., with whom the departed mother had made her home after the death of her husband. Together with her husband ahe lived on the phi homestead, southeast of Pem­ berville up to 21 years ago, when they moved to this village, where she re sided up to the death of Mr. Foster four years ago. During her stay in Michigan her spiritual wants were at­ tended t<r by the Rev. Nett of Wood­ land, Mich.

A truly Christian woman has passed away with Mother Foster. As long as ahe was able, she attended the moans of grace most faithfully. A true helpmeet of her husbahd, they endeav­ ored to bring up their children in the fear and nurture of the Lard. Always gentle and kind, she endeared herself to many who came tn contact with her.

Otto Deeds, the 21 year-old bey who forged hte unclc’n name to an 88.00 note, and plead guilty at this term of court, was sentenced by Judge MePeek, to Jaekson for a term of 1ft to 14 years. He wm taken by Sheriff Parker to the latter city, Tuesday, March 4th, to begin his sentence. Judge MePeek’s statement in con­ nection with the ease, filed yesterday, in the Countf Clerk's office is worthy of reproducing Ln our columns. It readr as follows: “This is the ease of a young man who failed to make good after having feM* experience of the renlts ef violating the law. He was sentenced in Decem­ ber 1920, to the Ionia Reformatory to serve 1% to 14 years for forgery. It is my understanding that his conduct in the Reformatory was such that hfl was obliged to serve nearly 2% years before being released on parole. He was plaeed under the care of Sheriff Dilley of Eaton county as parole of­ ficer and the tetter reports constant misconduct of his ward. Before his arrest for the present offense he was sus­ pected of other violations of law la the city of Hastings aad in my own inves­ tigations of his habits end endued following his release from the Reforma­ tory, I have been unable to find any in­ dication that he has profited by his exterience, or has made a sincere effort o reform. It is regrettable that a young man in his condition should be so .little con­ cerned with his present or his future. It was the opinion of the Warden of the Reformatory, Mr. Chas. Sheen, that he should not be sent again to that institution because of the bad influence which might be exerted over the young­ er boy*. I am hopeful that the disci­ pline of the State prison will have a sobering effect on this ypung man and that he will show indications of re­ formation.

ELEVENTH ANNUAL AUTOMOBILE ISSUE of the HASTINGS BANNER MARCH 12,. 1924. When evening comes America “tunes in,” and across the moon­ lit spaces, o’er barren wastes and snow-capped summits, o’er plains rich with harvest, o’er forests, swamps and vast expanse of wa­ ter; Art and Oratory, each wings Her message, clattering "jazz" and melodious euphony; or logic, phil­ osophy and entreaty; borne hither ana yon, from Canada’s tall, whis­ pering pines to the languid shores of Dixie, and from the Golden Gate to Liberty’s flaming torch, by ether waves, and millions hear and ex­ claim, "Marvelous." And it is so, because man has been inspired to contribute his life’s energies and thought and re­ search to humanity’s welfare, and already do we hear the novice’s word of complaint that all concern­ ing it is not perfect, and we are al­ most forced to agree with Gold­ smith thatit is “the familiarity that breeds contempt." No less mysterious has been the advent of the automobile. It has been hailed by every nation in its “horseless carriage” state with the same exclamation of “marvelous," “wonderful,” etc., as attaches to the present Radio sign-post in hu­ manity’s itinerary. But 'tis easy to believe that today, because of our familiarity with the automobile, we have more or less so-called con­ tempt for it and what it means to us as a people, as well as individu­ als. It is doubtful if any one thing ever launched by mankind has con­ tributed more to the pleasure and happiness of the wprld, added more to the commercial and indus­ trial welfare of every nation than has the automobile. Let us not forget what the auto means to us and to our happiness— let us stop and take stock of what we have as blessings and see if the automobile has not been such to us. It is no more a rich man’s luxury. It is a poor man's comfort, a la­ boring man’s recreation, a business man’s economy,—all may ride in autos today. And so, the man Arho saw in his “dream” the "horseless carriage,” prophesied more than a century ago by Mother Shipton, and who reduced his “vision ’ to the practi­ cal, has earned the gratitude of many millions.

The front bumper is attached by simply removing one nut each, from the lamp brackets and from the fender brackets at the rear of the fenders, substituting thin lock washers fur­ nished for the loek washers on the bolts, placing the brackets in position and replacing the nut«. The fact that the distance between the two points of attachment (the lamp bracket and the fender bracket) is equal to the distance between the first point of attachment and the bumper bar, makes an exceedingly strong and rigid fastening. The rear bumper fitting is a channeled steel stamping heel piece made of the same heavy material as the frame. They fit over the end of the rear cross frame member and are held tight by body bolts. A U-Clip fits over the lengthwise frame member and is clamped tightly to frame by machine bolts.

Their in­ vestigation and tests brought this start­ ling answer: ..... . One gallon of motor oil lubricates « rx BIG BUYS IN 1,000,000 square feet of cylinder area in an automobile before it is completely burned. And 1,000,000 square feet is more than 20 acres.

HASTINGS, MICH. One of the outstanding features of the Ford factory is its aim to control the manufacture of practically everything entering into the completion of a Ford ear. One of the largo producing units of the company is its glass factory. Over 20,500,000 square feet of glass are used each year in the making of Ford cars. As the demand for cars increases the demands of the company for gloss in­ creases accordingly. Four years ago the Ford Company started a small plant at Highland Park to experiment in the making of glass, and hero was developed the This plant “Ford way” of making it. T1 has developed a capacity of 9,500 square feet of gloss each day. However a new glass factory has been erected, and this when in full opera­ tion will produce more than 10,000,000 square feet of glass each yegf. In addition the Ford Company owns a glasa factory at Glassmere, Pa., that has on output of 7,000,000 square feet of glass each year. With the Ford Company owning its own iron mines, its own eoal mines, its own railroad, its own forests and lum bcr mills, its own boats, and making its own glass, leather, etc., this Fort Company is quite independent of any situation that may arise concerning a supply of raw materials.

To moot a distinct need for a ear of convenient sine that would comforta­ bly seat four people Dodge Brothers de­ signed and produced their new fourpsseenger coupe. Orders taken have already reached tho point where they are taxing the facilities of the factory. The body of the coupe, which is of composite construction, is one of the finest examples of coach builders’ artThe sewing arrangement is staggered, with a seat of folding design at the * side of the driver. One feature is found in the fact that the driver aits direct­ ly behind the steering wheel—not at an angle. Four passengers can be seated with the utmost comfort. Also, the doors are extra wide, allowing ease of movement in getting in and out. The body, which is painted a deep blue with a yellow trim-stripe, io up­ holstered in genuine mohair velvet. Mohair velvet has long been recognised as a material which for beauty and durability stands premier. It cleans easily and its richness is at- once ap­ parent to all who use it. Disc wheels are standard equipment on the new coupe, as are window regu­ lators, a dome light and hardware of Dodge Brothers own design. For those who demand more complete equipment Dodge Brothers set aside a certain num­ ber of theso coupes to be specially equipped. The special equipment in­ cludes a nickeled radiator shell, cowl lights, nickeled front and rear bump­ ers, special striping on the louvers of tho hood, motometer and lock, auto­ matic windshield wiper, balloon tires, The four-passenger coupe ia attrac­ tive in appearance and conforms in every detail to modern design.

Ge a. Smedley D. Butler, Philadel­ phia’a dynamic commimioner of publie safety, is the man who introduced them. Before be took office a few weeks back, the Philadelphia eity council voted General Butler 15,000 with which to purchase aa automobile for his per •anal use. But when salesmen for high-priced ears appeared and tried to interest him, be made it plain that he intended to •pend the money in purchasing small, light ears for use as bandit chasers by the police department. The Ford runabout was his choice and it wasn't long before an enterprising Ford salesman had a ear ready for the geaeral’s inspection. Now the Philadelphia police have six of these armored Ford cars and under General Butler’s plan this number will shortly be augmented until there will be ninety such bandit chasers in service. The entire shell of the body is lined with U inch special steel and the space between the armor plating and the out­ side of the car is packed with loose eotton and eoarae hair to retard the velocity of bullets. Armor plate also covers the cowl and runs up as high as the lower portion of the windshield. The upper portion is in two sections of bullet proof glass and wind-wings have been provided on either aide, these also of bullet proof glans. The Ford engines are specially equipped to afford increased speed and tests made show some interesting re­ sults. In one test to show acceleration and power developed for hill elimbing, a mile was covered in one minnte and thirty-one seconds from a standing start. On a country road the car attained a speed of more than sixty miles an hour and in a city street test covered 2.828 feet at a speed of approximately sev­ enty miles an hour. Ford ears have been in use by police departments all over the country for years and recently there has been a Tapidlv increasingly tendency in the larger" cities to use them in place of motorcycles since they are less con•frieuous. and afford greater protection and comfort. Portland, Ore., is one of the latest cities to adopt the Ford ears to replace motoreveles and now has tweatv-thrcc of them in operation. Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and Cincin­ nati are other cities whieh have recent­ ly joined the Ford ranks, the armored Ford as used in Philadelphia, however, is General Butler’s idea. CARLTON CENTER.

Foundations are being laid nt the Ford River Rouge Plant for a group of coke ovens in whieh will be pro­ duced so-called low-tempcrature coke by a method new to industry. In placing on a commercial basis an experimentally successful process the Ford Motor Company is guided by a standard policy—“you can never tell the vnlue of an idea until it is applied to actual work.’’ Therefore, while ex­ perimental results indicate great econ­ omies over the present processes, no definite statement of possible savings will be in order until a production basis is attained. The principle underlying the new process is the distillation of volatile matters from coal at a temperature of about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit rather than at the present coking tempera­ ture of 1,900 degrees Fahrenheit. Anticipated advantages are: 1. Increased yield of benzol motor fuel, nnd other superior by-products per ton of coal. 2. Resultant coke whieh may be briquetted, furnishing a smokeless fuel equal to anthracite coal for domestic heating. 3. A coke which may be pulverized •nd used in place of powdered coal in the fuel burners at the Ford River Rouge Power House. The burning of coke instead of coal should cause less fouling of boiler flues with resultant savings in the fewer shut-downs neces­ sary for cleaning. 4. A coke made from coal contain­ ing a high percentage of volatile mat­ ter which may be used in place of low volatile coal in the nicely balanced mix­ tures of high and low volatile coal nec­ essary to produce metallurgical coke. This is a big advantage especially in times of fuel shortage, such as that of a year ago, since coal of low volatile content is much less easily obtained than the high volatile fuel. The lowering of temperature in distil­ lation of coal by the new process re­ sults in a very different by-product out­ put in the form of vapors than that of the present high temperature coking process. At temperatures above 1,350 de­ grees Fahrenheit, the vapors are broken up into compounds which are mostly gaseous; liquids to be condensed from the vapors being reduced in quantity. Thus, by heating the coal in the closed retorts to a temperature a little below this critical point, more of the desirable liquid benzol motor fuel may be obtained. The high temperature process now used at the Rouge Plant yields two and three-tenths gallons of benzol per ton of coal. Experiments would indicate that as much as ten gal­ lons of benzol per ton may be the yield for the new ovens. Another by-product which may be yielded in quantities is lubricating oil equal for many purposes to that made from petroleum. The tar from the new proems may yield heavy grease, and valuable chemicals. Mr. and Mra. Jena© Knowles and non Woodrow of Hastings visited at Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

There are approximately 157,000 workers employed in Ford industries in the United States, according to rccettt figures. Of these, more than 24,000 work in branch assembly plants. The largest number employed in any single manufacturing unit, is, of course, at the Highland Park plant of Detroit, where 68,300 men are at work. The biggest increase in the number employed at any one plnce during the last year was made at the River Rouge plant of the company. A year ago, 28,000 men were employed there, while today there are nearly 42,000 workers on the payroll. Other manufacturing units, including the Lincoln car plant at Detroit, and the plants at Kearny. N. J., Hamilton, Ohio, Green Island, N. Y., Glassmere, Pa., and Poughkeepsie, N. Y., employ close to 11,000 men. Smaller plants around Detroit give employment to more than 800, while at the present time there are over 4,000 men at work on the company’s timber and iron ore properties in the upper to more than 3,500 men and the De­ troit, Toledo and Ironton, the Ford railroad; employs in excess of 2,500 men.

Who Gets the Money? Does a Difference In Price Indicate a Difference in Quality? Why is one Car Priced 25% to 50% Higher Than Another of the Same Quality? The 4 Questions That a Buyer Should Ask When Considering Any Car. By M. F. WOLLERING Vice President, The Studebaker Corporation, in Charge of Manufacturing and Engineering ERE are facts based on world’s engineering authority. If you have any intention of buying an auto­ mobile, you are urged to read them. H This historical tradition has been inbred in generation after generation of coachmakers. And the Indiana city of South Bend it known as a world-Mecca of artisans of this craft. In the modern $10,000,000 Stude­ baker body plants, there are sons and fathers and grandfathers working side by side. Their religion is fine coach building. And this is reflected in their work. As fine body builders, Studebaker stands supreme. No other maker has the experience of Studebaker. No other has the Studebaker tradi­ tions to inspire him. In 1919, the public paid over $80,000,000 for 39,356 Studebaker cars. In 1920, the public paid over $100,000,000 for 51,474 Studebaker cars, an increase of 31% over 1919. No “Price Class” There are only two kinds of auto­ mobiles today. Economically pro­ duced cars which give you more for your money. And cars which are not, and give you less. Price does not indicate intrinsic worth. But an individual maker’s cost of prodqction. Hence two cars may show a price difference of $400 to $1200 and more. And be of the eame quality. The difference in price simply shows that it costs one maker more to make his car than the other. Judgftig value by price thus is folly. Price class is a myth. In 1921, the public paid over $120,000,000 for 66,643 Studebaker cars, an increase of 29% over 1920. In 1922, the public paid over $155,000,000 for 110,269 Studebaker cars, an increase of 66% over 1921. In 1923, the public paid $201,000,000 for 145,167 Studebaker cars, an increase of 32% over 1922. IN 1924, BUSINESS HAS OPENED WITH STUDEBAKER AS NEVER BEFORE. See a Studebaker—then Decide the hens from picklag the train oat vslescing; no new cases reported. Leo Meade returned to his work in Hastings Monday after a two week’s illness with mumps. Chester WilKtts of Battle Creek spent Sunday with his sister, Mrs. Clara Day. Mrs. Ed. Riec spent Thursday with her father, Ira Hart, who is dangerous­ ly ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Sam Keller, in Hastings. The many friends of Harold Erb, who was badly injured when a tree fell onto him, will be glad to know he is improving. Where the Difference Comes In Studebaker, producing 150,000 cars yearly, has reduced engineering cost to $3.33 per car. This is based on a total engineer­ ing cost of $500,000 a year, which is the least on which any manufacturer can maintain an efficient engineering department. Thus a manufacturer producing but 20,000 cars a year must add $25 per car for engineering, or eight times as much as Studebaker. Other fixed overheads have been reduced proportionately. And these influence Studebaker prices. dies In the same time in which Stude­ baker builds 50,000 has to charge each body $20 for die cost. The dif­ ference of $18 is in the price but not in the body. The customer pays it but be gets nothing tangible for it It is one of the penalties of uneco­ nomical manufacture. Limited quantity purchased as against tremendous purchasing power adds more expense to the final price. Thus a car priced at $1200 to $1400 under ordinary manufacturing condi­ tions can, under economical quantity • • • production, be sold as low as $1045. A set of body dies costs $100,000.

They Meet Every Requirement in Motordom! Buicks have given exceptional service to hundreds of thousands of satisfied owners for the past twenty years and more, and are today the STANDARD of COMPARISON in AUTOMOBILES! Each year brings substantial improvements in the mechanism, appearance, and comfort of BUICK cars. And the new BUICK models are distinct re­ velations. From search-lights to tire carrier these cars are brand new automobiles. They have a new engine; new four-wheel brakes; new body; new upholstery; new frame; -new fenders; and new radiators. In short, these sixteen new models represent just the type of advanced motor car construction you have been looking for. Here is a double advantage for the purchaser of a motor car. Among the sixteen fine vehicles that bear the Buick nameplate for the season of 1924, there is a range of selection and a mechani­ cal excellence that insures the utmost satisfac­ tion. Buick has long stood apart among motor cars. For twenty years and more Buick has been the world's leading exponent of Valve-in-Head prin­ ciple of motor design, and Buick cars have been everywhere respected for their marked power, endurance, long life and economy. The present season is one of exceptional prog­ ress, for it brings with it added changes that im­ prove the operation, or the comfort, or the con­ venience of every unit in the car, from the engine to the smallest details. The Buick Creed A Buick automobile must be so built that it will, at all times and under all circumstances, give the owner uninterrupted use of his invest­ ment. policy established with the production of the first Buick car and so consistently adhered to ever since—that of giving the owner the maximum of service for the minimum of cost. Every Buick owner is entitled to, and will re­ ceive prompt and efficient service—the kind that will insure him the motoring pleasure he expects. No matter what its price, a Buick car must and will give the maximum of that service for which it was intended, and must bear its proportion of the responsibility of maintaining the high pres­ tige which Buick cars have attained. Buick reputation so pre-eminently firm and fair, was not won by chance, but is due to the The Guarantee Back of Buick We will be glad to give you a Free Demonstration on any of these choice models.

The only new cars are those in the salesroom. The fact that a ear has been used signifies very little as to its con­ dition. Few people really know what an automobile is worth unless they are mechanics. If one doesn’t know the real worth of an automobile then they are obliged to accept the statements of the seller relative to its worth. For this reason, when one is buying an automobile, they should buy from those who real­ ly know the values of the cars they sell. An automobile dealer must have the confidence of the people if he wishes to stay in the automobile business. When one buys jewelry it is not usually from a stranger but from those whom one knows can be depended upon to sell only reliable goods. If this were not true, many people would be wearing brass jewelry and paste diamonds. All engaged in the automobile business are obliged to take in used curs in order to sell new ones—some­ one has an open car and wants a closed one; anoth­ er wishes to exchange a 4-cylinder for a 6-cylinder, or a roadster for a touring car, etc. We have en­ deavored to be wise in our selection and careful in our buying so that we may offer to you the highest values at the most reasonable prices. Will you please look over the list we have to offer, and if you are in the market for a good car get in touch with us? Two Studebaker Light Sixes—1922 Model. 490 Chevrolet Touring—1922 Model.

To Lengthen the Life of Your Chevrolet—ALEMITE Every 500 Miles! • Our main purpose in this announcement is not to sell you something, but to get you to use something with which your car is already equipped. We refer to the Alemite Lubricating System—the original development in high pressure lubrication. In five short years Alemite has revolution­ ized all former ideas regarding automobile lubrication—just as Alemite is today supplanting the grease cup in mill and factory. Oil, water, air and “Alemite every 500 miles’’—these are the four com­ mandments that will cut the cost of motor car upkeep—and the greatest of these is “Alemite every 500 miles.’’ Making regular lubrication a habit in this way will eliminate 75% of your repair blls—that is the experience of large fleet owners of national prominence. Over 4,000,000 Alemite equipped cars are operating at reduced cost today, most of them Alemite equipped at the factory, by the manufac­ turer. In standardizing on Alemite, Chevrolet merely added another refinement which one looks for only in cars of the better class. It is almost necessary that a car be Alemite equipped to bring it up to date. Nearly 10,000 service stations are especially equipped to give lubrica­ tion service to Alemite owners, who do not care to do this work for them­ selves. Watch for the Alemite sign—whether filling station, garage or car dealer—it means that the management of that place is alert and eager to render better lubrication service. He has made a substantial investment in special Alemite equipment that will enable him to lubri­ cate your car quickly, efficiently and economically. Drive on the raek wherever possible. The last word in efficient lubrication is Alemite lubricant For those who prefer to do the work themselves. Alemite lubricant is furnished in handy, "auto-loading” containers. If someone else does the work, insist that they use Alemite Lubricant— a pure hard oil—there’s noth­ ing to compare with it for chassis lubrication.

It has been the subject of legislative discussions and inves­ tigations. It-has served in some instances as a political vehicle for aspiring candidates. Because gasoline plays such an intimate part in all our lives the theme has been a popular one. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is America's leading refiner of gasoline and, therefore, is keenly interested in all phases of such discussions. For the benefit of those who would have the subject illuminated, this Company will present, in the next few weeks, some side-lights on this question. The average tank wagon price of gasoline in the ten Middle Western States served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is approximately equal to the price of an ice cream soda—which comparison we make merely as an example. The ice cream soda satisfies a passing desire— tt is pleasant—it is nourishing. A gallon of gasoline renders a vital service—it will take your car a dozen or a score of miles on an errand of business, pleasure, or mercy. It will bring the doctor to administer to the sick does gasoline render an essential service. Gasoline is a vital cog in the wheel of industrial progress.

He knows that it fouls plugs, causes knocking and racks the engine with pre-ignition. 60% of Mid West, motorists have learned by experience that Polarine mini­ mizes carbon deposits. One motorist writes: “I have been using Polarine exclusively and my engine is not corroded with carbon deposit and residue.” All Run Down, Have a Cough, Out of Pep • 1 Another says: “Since using Polarine, we have reduced our repair bills materially, and on examining our motors from time to time find only a very little carbon.” Dozens of other letters speak in the same strain. You perhaps have a backache, a tired feeling, all run down from the winter exposures and extra work. Now, no doubt, a good Kidney medicine, a tonic and some good laxative would fix you up “good as new.” The reason is clear. Dyke (a leading automotive author­ ity) says, “To reduce carbon to a minimum, the lubri­ cating oil must be of high quality and of correct body for the piston design and the lubricating system of your engine.” Polarine is scientifically correct It maintains its body and will not break down at working temperatures. In creating it petroleum chemists co-operated with en­ gine designers. Every mechanical as well as every chemical factor was considered.

West Pahn Beach. Ha., March 6, 1924. J do not know what weather condi­ tions may be back home. I am sitting in West Palm Beach park this morn­ ing, shaded by a half dozen cocoanut palms. A mocking bird i* singing aa if its heart were bursting for joy in another palm tree, a few feet away. Looking up from my pad of paper I can see many fiery red hibiscus blos­ soms, and docens of large and many colored foliage plants, blending into lovely harmony; while smaller ferns and gracefully waving green drapery of smaHer (flants make the place seem like a vision of fairy land. I have al­ most to pinch myself to be certain that I am not dreaming as I look at thia scene about me. But as I turn my eyes in other directions. It becomes real eaough — big hotels, large business blocks, stores, scurrying automobiles, leave no doubt that I am where men and women live. If I step into one of the stores to make a purchase, and mentally note the greatly increased prices asked for everything but citrus fruits, I will quickly discover that a large element in Wert Palm Beach is not here for its health, but la making the most and best of the big influx of northern visitors. The wonderful growth of Palm Beach and of West Palm Beach since I was hero eleven years ago is a story of it­ self, of whieh I will speak another time. I will talk a little about Florida now. Your map of tho United States will hint to you why, if our country con­ tinues to prosper, Florida will become am and more the winter play ground fit the American people.

Such a habit formed in childhood brings satisfac­ tion and comfort, not only in old age but all through life. • Leading educators tell ub that as you train children during the first six yean 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. 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 thej earn each week. TEACH THEM TO SAVE .

We reproduce it in full because it contains added information to the ar­ ticle* the BANNER has published pre-, viously di private interviews when Mr. Michael has been in Hastings to visit his sisters and his daughter, who is at­ tending our High school. The write-up follows: Washington, March 9.—Once upon a time, and not so very many years ago, L. G. Michael, as a lad of 13, was ped­ dling The Grand Rapids Herald on the streets of Hastings. Today he is an international authority on agriculture, looked upon with almost reverence by many a Russian peasant, known through Roumania and all the Balkan states,Germany,.Austria, Hungary, and is now in charge of the foreign service of the United States department of agricul­ ture. ' besides his native English'and his one great objective in life is to so improve the condition of the American fanner that the American farm shall remain as it used to be, the backbone of America. In no department of the United Stat or government' is there a man of higher standing than L. G. Michael. Jn no department is there a jnan who has had a wider experience with the peoples of the earth who are engaged in the production of foodstuffs. He was educated-in the public schools of Hastings and wm graduated from Michigan Agricultural college. Later was discovered. The Russian government deaired to introduce into Russia American corn aad American methods of growing it. The corn native to Russia, or at least that which was then grown there, be­ cause corn originally came from America and wm ■ introduced into but with several ears to the stalk. Man­ ifestly, to husk and shell it wan a tremendous task and the Russian agri­ cultural experts believed that Ameri­ can corn could be grown there to great­ er advantage. Therefore the Russian Gvernment sought American experts to produce both American corn and American methods of growing it. P. G. Holden was sought but Mr. Holdeh, the recognised authority on this matter, had children who at that time were in just that stage in school where ho hesitated to go to Russia. He therefore recommended Mr. Mi­ chael and Mr. Michael went. For six and one-half years he worked among the peasants of the Ukraine, organiz­ ing boys’ clubs and with some DOO men likewise organized to assist him. Mr. Michael immediately made some rather startling and disconcerting dis­ coveries. He had taken with him some 25 varieties of American corn. But after a little experimenting, cart it - aside as unfitted to Russian condi­ tions and devoted his time thenceforth to breeding up the Russian varieties and instructing the Russian peasant in better methods of growing.

No Farmer Can Afford to Be Without Efficient Implements The purchase of all needed equipment for most profit­ able farming entails but a comparatively small expendi­ ture. While the farm equipment industry is the most ba­ sic of all and directly responsible for farm wealth, govern­ ment figures show that but from 4 to 8 per cent of tne total yearly farming expenses is chargeable to the equipment that produces the farmer's wealth. Only 3 1 -3 cents of every dollar the American farmer received from the sale of all farm products during the crop year of 1922-23 went to the farm equipment industry— not for implements alone, but for tractors and power farm­ ing machinery, silos, bam and dairy equipment, vehicles, stump pullers, windmills, pumps, incubators, cider mills, beekeeper’s supplies, etc. Too often we hear that the farmer does not buy need­ ed equipment because he thinks the pricer is too high. - A fair study of the facts will put a different light on the matter of price. The farmer is just as anxious to know the manufacturer’s problems as the manufacturer is to know the farmer’s, because neither can do without the other. Aa stated last week, we believe it is poor policy for a farmer to buy new equipment when that he has is capable of doing its proper work—hut we do believe every farm­ er should have proper equipment and that he saves money when he has the proper tools to make his farm operations practical and efficient. . Every farmer should look over every implement on the. farm now and get an order in now for all needed re­ pairs.

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 weU 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 intereated in aavins time and money, don’t experiment with other brand, of flour, when you can (at FRENCH'S WHITE LILT FLOUR that is guaranteed to ghre satisfaction. Ask almost any house­ wife and she will tell you she is either using or going to use FRENCH’S WH11E LILY FLOUR because she is tired of the costly experiences at­ tached to using brands of flour she knows nothing about We are just u anxioiu to hare you satisfied with FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR as we are to have you try it and we have spared no expense in makiny it as good as it could be made and wo are glad to back it up with our guarantee. \ 'French’8 Flour Makes Good Cooks **id trortgage, I ahall tan•» Pwbli* Aaction to too * CMTt HMM^to CitT^f Hm r * **** n »*«*> - J* ‘JJ ‘h“ The Middleville Koller Mills Middleville BULE THOUGHTS ty. aa th* rath ■Mat, Mae.

Items History of Bread The history of bread making is a history of the world since the beginning of man. Bread is the old­ est prepared food known to the human family. Bread baking is also one of the oldest human arts It is older than history and older than civilization. Wheat was first milled by stone crushers and baked on stone slabs. Perhaps no other ingredients were put in the bread mix, until science began to creep into the human mind. During the late war the government chemists proved that bread was a more valuable food, superior to any other, on account of the var­ iety of food elements bread contains. But what you want to know right now is how one loaf of bread differs from another. First, there is a difference materially in quality; second, there is a difference in the size of the loaf. These two points we ask you to investigate. You want the best if you can have it, don’t you? Especially if you find it costs no more. Look this matter up for your own good, for bread is your best and cheapest food. You should eat more of it. Test die J. & K. thoroughly, and if for any reason you cannot get it at your grocery, call the STAR BAKERY, Phone 2381, and we will see that you get it We want you to order a test loaf. Give J & K. ■bread a trial. You will find it superior to any other and the extra weight will make up for the difference in price. Call for K.

Chas. Wolfe Provided Hastings ought to'have some fire­ proof building, or room, which could be used as a Museum, in which might be safely kept such relies found in Barry county, and those appliances used by the early pioneers, which would be of increasing interest to the genera­ tions that are to follow. Long, long before the advent of the first white settler in Barry county, this territory was inhabited by the noble red man. Evidence of his oecupation is still found in flint arrowheads, spears, tomahawks, and stone ornaments of various kinds. Before _____ him may have been another race, ns indicated by the occasional finding of copper spears nnd arrow heads. We know of no outstanding collec­ tion of Indian relics, but a good many people throughout tho county have unique and interesting Indian relics, found in the plowing of fields and clearing up of land. Not many years ago, for instance, Jns. McIntyre, liv­ ing at Quimby, while digging a post­ hole. enme upon a cache of flint arrow heads, a 10 quart pnil full of them be­ ing taken from thia one hole. Mr. Mc­ Intyre recently told the writer that he would bo very glad to donate this “find’’ to a County Museum. We know of others, who have accumulated a col­ lection of relics, who would be glad to turn them over to n Museum here, if a suitable place could be found. Probably 75 per cent of the present generation never snw a mill-stone. Mr. C. A. Kerr, of the Hastings Mill­ ing Co., has two Inrgc mill-stones that he says he would be glad to donate for same such purpose. Typical of the life of the early pion­ eers of Barry County was the old spin­ ning wheel. Not many of the old spin­ ning wheels nre left, and time will sooner or later do away with nil of them. Tho crude old pioneer “lantern” recently on dLplay nt the BANNER office attracted a lot of attention and comment. A few of these old lan­ terns arc still in existence, but not many of them.

These relics of pioneer days, of the Indian life prcceding-thom, and various historic relics that would bo donated for such a purpose, would make an ex hibit that would be educational as well ns interesting.

Leading educators tell us that as you train children during, the first six year* of their lives so they will be through life. If this is true, and we believe it is, theft 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.

Students of statistics will recall the story that 1921 told. In that year the sales of Studebaker carswere 99.4 per cant cent greater than in 1920, while a. total„namber at ears sold of all other makes except Ford W 40 per cont leas than in 1920. Stated otherwise, Stude­ baker's ratio of sales was 129 and the total of other makba 60, as compared | with 1920. In the year of 1922 Studebaker had I the showing of a record year, instead Of a weak year to surpass, and plans were laid for a production of 100,000 ears, as compared with M,M3 fa 1921 Evon with this largo increase in pro­ duction, at no time was the factory rable to supply the demand for Stude­ baker ears. 110^69 cars were produced aad sold during the year 1922, as in­ crease of 65 per eent over 1921 which up to that time was the greatest year fa the history of the Studebaker. Whether your earnings are large or small, if you “spend a little less” than you earn, your future is sure—-make no doubt of it. To watch some people squander all they make you would naturally think that all of the good, things of life were to disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow. They won’t. They will all be here, and more of them too, years from now when you and I can enjoy them as much as we can today. ; Since publie demand for our product was so insistent in 1921, and increased ■till more in 1922, ws considered it log­ ical to assume that this demand would continue fa 1*MV We uw . fa this marked publie preference an expression of confidence fa the quality and value of our product and maufacturing stand­ ards. Therefore, we decided to increase still further our production 'facilities. By the end of August we had exceeded the 1922 record and by December, 31, sales had passed 148,000—making 1923 the peatest, by far, in Btuddbaker his­ tory. Bensons for Production Increases. Perhaps the oetstanding reason for Studebaker's success is the exper­ ienced organization behind the product. For two generations Studebaker -was the world's largest producer of horse-' drawn vehicles and because of its 72 years' experience certain standards and ideals of manufacture have become traditional. Our manufacturing staff is one of the ablest and most exper­ ienced in any industry.

It was “School Day’’ and an old-fashioned In Bia Honor Wai Fine “spelldown’’ had been planned, but owing to lack of time this had to be Attrtr The Bt. Patrick’s Day. banquet in Bt. Rose Hall Toaster-evening-was an exceptionally fine afair, and enjoyed the usual largo attendance, because people generally have eome to know that the ladlea ot, the Parish are ar­ tists in prepaftag dad serving fine banquets, aad that the programs are sure to please. , In honor of the event, Bt. R<ne 'hall scheme. Lines of green and white pa­ per hung in festoons from tho center of the building, to Mthcr side, which gave a very pretty effect to the ban­ quet hall and stage. The shamrock was also in evidence. Across the speakers’ platform, and to the rear, was a large banner on which wore the words “Erin Go Bragh.’’ American flags, too, formed a epnspicious part of the decorations. -While the banquet was in progress delightful music was Ira of St. Rose rendered by school. Every seat ia the banquet hall wa* occupied. Tho prompt aud efficient manner in which the large crowd wns served, was tho subject of much fa­ vorable comment. At the conclusion of the banquet. Fr. Jordan arose and announced that he had no part in the program to fol­ low, that his chipf duty lay in intro­ ducing tho toastmaster of the evening, Mr. Thos. A. Lawjer, of Lansing, which he did in a >ost appropriate way. Mr. Lawler proved ‘himself an adept in this position, taking several goodnatured flings rat the Father* present, and those who took part.in the pro­ gram, not even sparing bimself. His thrusts often provoked laughter and applause and kept the audience in a happy frame of mind. The first number oa. the program wns a duet by Master Donald Tnflfi'o and Miss Roberta Cusick, so beautifully rendered that they Were compelled to respond to an encore. The toastmaster next introduced Fr. Brennan, of Charlotte, locating the plaee as a “suburb of Hastings.’’ Fr. Brennan spoke upon “Long Live the Free Spirit of the Irishmen.’’ He proved himself a good wt»ry teller and by this means- portrayed the spirit of those who came from the Emerald Isle. Herbert J. Henry, of Lansing, way next introduced and sang a solo “Lad­ die Buck O’ Mine,*’ which received such hearty nppla hat he gave on encore, “That Iris ther Of Mine.” Mr. Henry has a tiful voice and his numbers were greatly enjoyed. Prosecuting Attorney Sigler was the next one introduced, speaking upon the subject of “Service.” The points in Mr. Sigler's fine talk were driven home by elever contrast, ’stowing how easy it is fo misin^rpret the motive* of others, and often how freely and care­ lessly wc apply the wnrong meaning to rifirt* nberab ly applauded. Master Chas. Swika, a young lad from Kalamazoo, possessed of a re­ markably sweet voice, favored the banqueters with a vocal selection “My Wild Irish Rose,’’ and twice responded to the enthusiastic demands for an en­ core. The last speaker of the evening was Fr. John Linskcy of Detroit, who dur­ ing his 13 years pastorate in Hastings, won a very warm place in tho hearts of our people, and revered by his parishoners. His talk was upon the Irish question and what St. Patrick’s* Day means to everyone. He said that for 700 years the Irish people have had a fight on, and that they have suffered all for the sake of- principle. In the heart of every Irishman is a love of liberty, and all during the centuries past it has kept alive their faith and helped to .preserve their individuality.

Hastings Phone 2426 BANNER WANT ADS PAT Ofc A the mysterious stranger in the motor industry Does a difference in price indicate a difference in quality? Why is one car priced 25% to 50% higher than another of the same quality? The 4 questions that a buyer should ask when considering any car. ERE are facts based on world’s engineering author­ ity. If you have any inten­ tion of buying an automobile, are urged to read them. H No "Price Class' There are only two kinds of auto­ mobiles today. Economically pro­ duced cars which give you more for your money. And cars which are not, and give you less. Price does not indicate intrinsic worth. But an individual maker's cost of produc­ tion. Hence two cars may show a price difference of $400 to $1,200 and more. And be of the same quality. The difference in price simply shows that it cost one maker more to make this car than the other. Judging value on price, this is folly. Price class is a myth. Where the Difference Comes in The average small manufacturer whose volume will enable him to build only 5,000 bodies from a set of you dies in the same time in which Stude­ baker builds 50,000 has to charge each body $20 for die cost. The de­ ference of $18 is in the price but not in the body. The customer pays it but he gets nothing tangible for it It is one of the penalties of uneco­ nomical manufacture. Thus a car priced at $1,200 to $1,400 can be sold as low as $1045 when produced economically in quantity. inga than are used in any competitive car, within $1,500 of ita price. We subject Studebaker tars to 30,000 inspections. That rejjr-s 1^00 men. Al! told over 70,0u0 ui.’-. J and machine operations, are per­ formed in the manufaeuxe--ao»a Studebaker car. 'In' so many op$Rtions, though each one is small, the » la mat opportunity for economy anti savings. 15% premium is pai l ‘ ______ w___ r to insure ______ on many steels Studebaker specifications instead of~’‘commc7cial run” used in cars many times Studebaker price. No finer car can Le built than the Studebaker of today. Only famous foreign car* and the most Why Studebaker excels the costly of American thrC ' world in body building compare. For 72 years Studebaker has been a builder of quality vehicles. This historical tradition has been inbred in generation after generation of coach­ makers. And the Indiana city of South Bend is known as a world-Mecca of arti­ sans of this craft In the modem $10,000,000 Studebaker body plants, there are sons and fathers and grandfathers working side by side. Their religion is fine coach building. And this is reflected in their work. As fine body builders, Studebaker stands supreme. No other maker has the experi­ ence of Studebaker. No other the Stude­ baker traditions to inspire him. Studebaker, producing 150,000 cars yearly, has reduced engineering cost to $333 per car. This is based on a total engineering cost of $500,000 a year, which is the least on which any man­ ufacturer can maintain an efficient engineering department Thus a manufacturer producing but 20,000 cars a year must add $25 per car for engineering, or eight times as much as Studebaker. Other fixed overheads have been reduced proportionately. And these influence Studebaker prices. Such a car is the Studebaker LightSix Touring Car, at $1045. A clear difference of between $155 to $355. The uneconomical manufacturer is not profiteering. He is unfortunately situated, that is all. Buy no car until you've seen a Studebaker. Co over it, point'for point Consult any unbiased ex­ pert Ask your banker. And you Will own a Studebaker. 1—Is this an assembled car? Or*’partly" as­ sembled.

GIVS8 ATTEN­ TION TO CHARACTER BUILDING STUDENT ORGANIZA­ TIONS ARE AGGRESSIVE Challenge to Vital Deciiions Concerning Their Life Program Long ago someone said that boy« are the only material from which men can be made. Yet the average individual has been alow to realize thia. Men have developed in spite of local conditions and the selfishness of the average in­ dividual. What a changed world thia would be if we measured our conduct in the light of its influence on others! How differently some of ua would gauge our actions if we realised that some boy was copying, and that hia character was at stake! The Young Men ’• Christian Association for nearly fifty years has given its atten­ tion to the great objective of training boys and young men in the program of character building. There are many thousands of mon in the state who today testify to tho foundations laid by the Y. M. C. A. in their early lives. From a handful of scattered organisations which eame into eiistence from 1870 on, the state organisation has steadily grown until fifteen cities now have weljequipped buildings of several millions valuation. In addition, nine counties covering more than fifty towns and communities present a great contribution to the char­ acter life of the boy. Student organi­ zations in practically all of the Michi­ gan colleges form a very aggressive group of training centers for rear readership. During the past four months over 2,500 older boys have attended special conferences. At Ann Arbor November 30-December 1-2, 1721 older boys from 110 different points were registered. In the counties of St. Clair, Hillsdale, Kent and Barry other conferences have been held of a similar character. At Ish­ peming February 22-24, 394 boys from 30 different points wera registered. The great value of these affairs is to chal­ lenge boys to vital decisions concerning life work and as to how they may work out a practical Christian program in their schools or wherever they may live. So, therefore, wht» question of work with boys is to be considered, the Y. M. C. A. has a history and an ex­ perience which males it a most power­ ful agency. Ito eervicM are available to every section of Michigan, large or small community. Tho state commit­ J FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T f AFFORD TO LOSE HENDERSHOTT CORNERS. The W. F.

The Young People’s Bible Class will Wi TRAININGBOYS FOR LEADERSHIP Some uf the problem.' presented to perplex a librarian in guiding the publie to balanced rations in literature wa* the subject considered by Miss Jean Barnes nt the Friday meet­ ing of the Hastings Women’s Club. Some people do very little rending, others read to the exclusion of :ibuo*t everything else. Then there is the person who has very little leisure time for reading and wants something worth while when they do. Another cln.»* in eludes the serious-minded reader of science or political economy or history, and the tired housekeeper. business nran and woman who reads only to be amused. Thon* is also the girl or buy who seems to be afraid to strain hi* mental powers nnd -shin* nwuy from anything that looks tho lea«t bit “deep.’* To inveigle, persuade and lead atop by stop all these various tastes into the more catholic fields of reading that result in a greater enjoy ment of life and a better appreciation of all literature so that people will n»r be content with cheap trashy stuff iwhat every true librarian wishes to do. “A chocolate sundae both in literature and life is an excellent thing taken occasionally," said Mis* Barnes, ••but as a stendv diet it hne unpleastmt nsuits.” 8ho outlined briefly Arnold B«*n , nett’s clever little book, “How to. Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day” to encourage people to make out a' budget of their day’s time and see how much of its activities arc really energy l and wasted time. She made a plea for a definite pro ■ gram of reading, which really require* only a short time every day, nnd the)' cutting out of some of the forms of housework and daily time-killers that get one no where in order to do it. “Docs your house need something new in way of furnishing this spring? So docs your mind.” Miss Barnes said. “Are you sick and tired of house work and docs life look stale to yotif Dcvel op a bobby. Study tho birds this spring or the wild flowers, or take up n course of reading such a* Arnold Bennett suggests. We live only once in this world. Why not make life worth while by getting as much out of it as we cant” This fine paper was followed by an interesting discussion. The club was favored with violin numbers by Stephen Karmes, accom panied by Ernestine Windeknecht, nnd two selections by the Western State Normal Glee Club, who wore practicing for the evening concert in the auditor­ ium. ThO club voted to add $3.00 for n second prize to the $5.00 first prize they are giving to the girl in this year’s High school graduating class who pro­ duces the most attractive and best made dress from the simple cotton ma­ terial they have voted to adopt thia year. tee, which is the organization that tics together all the work in the state, main­ tains a staff of six mon. Two give their attention to.the town and coun­ try field and in the persons of Dr. W. C. Coleman and Walter Gospill, no bet­ ter leadership can be found. The State Boys’ Secretary, J. F. Mc­ Farland, is known to thousands of boys throughout the state. G. W. Westeripnn, a native of Michigan, and for many years a local secretary, is in charge of the Railroad Work and also nets a* general assistant. Roy McCullough of Yale University, formerly Student Sec­ retary at the State College of Colorado, has accepted tho State Student Secre­ taryship and will be on the field in June. The State Secretary in general charge of all work is F. B. Freeman, who suc­ ceeded L. E. Buell in September last. Mr. Buell retired after twenty-three years of active efficient work. Previous to coming to Michigan Mr. Freeman was for seven years Field Secretary of the International Y. M. C. A. Com­ mittee at Now York. In addition to tho above, two other secretaries . will be added during the coming months^ one for Hi-Y Work in the High schools and another in the Upper Peninsula for special boys’ work. Thus tho Young Men's Christian As­ sociation in Michigan today stands ready to nerve every man and boy. Af­ ter these many yearn of history and real productivity, the organizntjpn is enter­ ing upon an even greater period of suc­ cessful achievement. With a wide con­ fidence of business men and a scientific program, a real future in ahead. Lead­ ership is the key to world problems, and the Association is a proven factor here.

WINTER RESORT REAL ESTATE ENJOY­ ING BIG BOOM THERE Late Henry Flagler Had Fu­ ture Vision When He Invested There (Continued from Inst week.) One or two, ax may desire,, scat them■elves in a comfortable wicker-basket chair, mounted on two wheels. Back of them, mounted on a bicycle scat, and propelling the craft is a Negro, who operates at so much per hour, in which case he would bo several points slower than the traditional snail or at so much per trip, in which case one is whizzed over the smooth roads at a high rate of speed. If you pay by the hour you , also hear some remarkable statements concerning the inhabitants ami the plants and flowers along the roadway. au In mw the Flagler tract and — in -----------the older settlements, specially constructed roa.h ways for these bieyclo chairs have been made, on which horses and autos have po rights of travel, while tho chairs havo rights on all the aulo roads od tho Beach. Tlu? finest residence .is that of the Jatc Henry Flagler, which has been closed since his decense several years ago, but has been recently sold to be used 'os a club house. But there an­ other and many fine wintcr(homcs, some of them costing several hundred thou­ sand dollars. Ocean bench unimproved lots sell ns high as $700 per front foot. There are now hundreds of fine winter homes, and new districts arc be ing cleared up and platted. Instead of but one street across the peninsula there arc now dozens of them, all mac­ adamized and lined on both sides with beautiful homes. Oil each ”dc of *v’ ery street, and in tho wider ones in the eenter also, is a row of cocoanut palms or Australian pino or royal palms. For miles in either direction from the hotel district the Bench has been laid out and built up with fine winter homes, and the good work still goes oa. The real estate and the homes ia many individual cases would mount up into a million or more -in ’value.* Between the Royal 1’ojpciana wind the Breakers Hotels is a foot path, fcr.kod od either side with a row of a hif hiblkcus shrub with a Mcullh. fiery ped flftWfrs <hich arc from ur te five inches across in many cases. jere1s,.ttK», another roadway for the nrcle chain, just south of the. foot th, had that Uss op either side a w orMg Australian pines, which have fdsege for several feet from the wide apart. On the footpath side is one golf course and on the bicycle side another. These are for the hotel guests. It seems like a picture of fain-land in any direction as4onc travels this foot­ path. There are more multi-millionaires in Pnlm Beach every winter than can be found in any city outside of New York. The guests nt the two big hotels are also wealthy people, or those who want to be "social climbers,’’ and get into so-cayed "high society.’’ Tho im­ mense dining rooms are brilliantly light­ ed. The sparkling diamonds nnd rich gowns of the fair sex make a dazzling show. Within nnd near the hotels are small shops where many of the big and fashionable stores of New York City have their branches nnd display ami sell their wnres-rgowns that cost a small fortune, diamonds that would take from four to six figures to tell their value, nnd millinery nnd wraps ami dress goods galore, that represent fab­ ulous sums. It is claimed that one can ace the latest spring and summer-fash­ ions here before they arc on display in New York. z. There are good automobile roads for those who want to ride anywhere in this section of Florida; fine bathing at the ocean beach; all aorta of social functions and dancing and parties of every description at the Poinciana, so that the gay act who want tp have a good time in this beautiful Npot in their own sweet way enn do it. They ‘•'V* have a gambling club over on th.P’*nch, where the sporty "sons of rest ’’ ran dissipate their cash in the usual manner of tho "smart act.’’ It's, a great life! But they do not look any happier, despite tho gayety and lavish display of wealth, than just average folks. In fact their faces tell the old story ’that happiness is not, ami never can be. in things, but is to be found in qualities within one and in a life lived in harmony with the fine princi­ ples that ever come from a line inner spirit.

C. Moore, potato specialist with the Michigan Agricultural College exten­ sion division. '/The market demands high quality stock,” says Moore, "and our produc­ ers must grow the kind the market wants, Profitable potato production de­ pends upon securing high yields of good quality stock. More better potatoes to the acre, should be the goal aimed at by the producer.” ’Nine fundamental points in improv­ ing the market quality of the state po­ tato crop are given by Moore: 1. Plant potatoes on an alfalfa qr elover sod. 2- Apply stable manure and complete fertilizer. 3. Fit the seed bed early to conserve moisture. 4. Plant late varieties earlier so they will mature before frost. 5. Plant tho hills closer together. 6. plant terrified seed. 7. Give careful cultivation. 8. Spray with arsenicals and Bordeaux mixture. 9. 'Aim to secure a uniform and uninter­ rupted development during tho whole season. NORTHEAST BARRY.

But, in fairness, the price of gasoline should be considered in relation to other fixed charges in­ cident to the operation of his automobile. Petroleum Age, in its issue of February 1,1924, states that "reliable figures obtained in the study of the operation cost of automobiles in oil field service between July, 1922, and July, 1023, shows that the average cost per mile for cars ranging in price from $400.00 to $1,400 00 each was 10c During that period approximately 22c per gallon was paid for gasoline. Computing the average mileage at 15 miles per gallon it is shown that put of a mileage cost of 10c gasoline represented less than lJ4c. In other words the lJ4c wags the 8Hc and the IKc covers the hazard of drilling and bringing the crude oil above ground—its transportation to the refinery — storage—refining—maintenance of the refineries—transporting of gasoline—bulk storage depots—delivery system, including tank wagons and service stations—cost of labor—and 'a fair and reasonable profit. .J If the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and others engaged in the petroleum industry had not expended millions in experiment and re­ search, which has resulted in taking from crude petroleum scores of other products, the present low price of gasoline could not be maintained. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), because of its advanced work in refining petroleum, has been able to recover these other products with­ out in any way affecting the quality of the gasoline In this way the operations of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) accrue to the advantage of the consumer in keeping the price of gasoline down to a point where the man of modest to propel his car.

HASTINGS ITEMS, THIRTY YEARS AGO Reliable Transport During almost every winter there comes to Michigan at least one period in which all inter-city transportation fails, except that fur­ nished by the.State’s 24 steam Railroads. Such a period followed the snowfall of February 19,1924. During that period, traffic was suspended on even the most extensiyely traveled trunk highways. Automobiles, trucks and buses either remained indoors or were deserted and l^ft in the drifts, awaiting aid from the highway authorities. Yet, throughout this entire period, no community in Michigan suffered for food or fuel. For the railroad trains moved, carrying the freight and passengers entrusted to their care. Railroad men fought day and night against the storms, that this service might be provided. The railroads consider it a compliment that Michigan always ex­ pects good railroad service, even complaining occasionally, it mid-winter trains vary from fair-weather schedules. The expenses of this service under storm conditions are always excessive—and the state pays no part of the bill as it does for highway snow clearing. Railroad men incur the hardships and railroad capital pays the hilt Will you recall, next July, that the Railroads hauled in your winter food and fuel despite 6 foot snowdrifts which shut off other means of transportation? Courage and railroad earnings did this —not your tax money. Michigan Railroad Association Michigan April 5, IBM. The donation for Rev. Cox last eve­ ning netted $90. Born to Mr. and Mrs. J. M.

There is nothing in the way of food that means so much to the family health as good, light, well baked bread, rolls and biscuits. When you buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY you get a flour that is not made like other flours. We use the “long system" of milling, other mills use the "short system." The “short system” is really just a "short cut" way of making flour, the idea being to mak; it in the shortest pos­ sible time and without the more expensive equipment. It means crowdirtg the grain through in the shortest possi­ ble time, which takes the life out of the wheat and affects the quality of the flour.

K’al (^inghams Continued from page one. ”• j/uvu, tun age or a uocinrnrion or. intention will have no bearing upon; a petition for naturalization filed by the widow or children of a deceased doe-' larant. The naturalization regulations’ have been amended no as to abrogate! the provision requiring a widow or child of n dcceaaod declarant to pro-i dnee a declaration “not less thou two, nor more than seven years old,” as wns formerly the caae. The only showing that a petitioner need make under Hoc. i 4 of tho net of Jnne 29, 1906, is thnt, the husband made a declaration of in­ tention and during Ito life died with­ out becoming a citizen. The son or daughter need only show, after attain­ ing majority, in the petition the fact that it was the father of the petitioner who died n declarant during the mi­ nority of the petitioner. The petition is not to bo considered as being prcdi-| rated upon the deceased alien’s declara­ tion, but upon the FACT thnt such declaration was made nnd the declarant died before completing the declaration. Thnt FACT of itself is a sufficient basis for a petition by the widow or a' child,; who was a minor nt the time of the' father’s death. Under the laws as they formerly wore people often came to this country on) a visit nnd once hero proceeded to take out naturalization papers. Under the* new ruling an alien admitted to this] country for a temporary period acquires no rights of legal domicile here. He is! in the position of u guest nnd not al resident, ami when the period for which he was temporarily admitted expires, j it is incumbent upon him to leave tho, country, or else obtain tho govern­ ment ’s sanction for further stay, tempo­ rary or permanent. He does not pos­ sess the legal requisites for initiating] proceedings for naturalization, nnd if4 ho makes a declaration the same J amounts to an abuse of the privileges' and conditions under which he was per- j mitted to land here. For these reasons such declaration is without legal nat­ uralization value and is void.

Add to this the cost of refineries—the investment in steel storage tanks to insure a dependable supply of raw materials and finished products regardless of season—the intricate machinery of transportation and delivery—gasoline ser­ vice stations at convenient spots in the city and along the highway, and you will appre­ ciate that the price of gasoline is low. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in its effort to render a vital service has been a determining factor in bringing you a gallon of gasoline at an exceedingly low price. Only extreme efficiency in management and thorough knowledge of the oil business, backed by adequate capital, can bridge the gap between the oil well, a thousand miles away and the gas tank on your car. These the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has supplied, placing an essential commodity at your instant command for a price which, compared to that of other commodities, is negligible when you consider the high value of the service rendered by gasoline.

McMck-Deoring Manure Spreaders You will soon have need for a Manure Spreader and before you buy, it will be to your advantage to look at the McCormick-Deering. You can always know that anything made by the great International Company will be all right before it is put on the market, backed as it is by almost unlimited capital and skilled engineers, who know farm needs, and what the farmers want. v. * ’* McCormick-Deering ^Spreaders are strongly built just where strength is needed. They are light in weight and light in draft, and for this reason may be loaded high, because teams can easily take care of big loads. The front wheels track with the rear wheels, just like a wagon. They are placed under the front of the box, which shortens the over­ all length of the Spreader and brings the team close to the load. Steel is used in preference to castings wherever possible, and bolts have been eliminated where it is practical to use rivets. The beater drive is a full chain drive, and a single continuous chain drives both the upper and lower beaters. L . We cannot commence to tell you all the good points,in this Spread­ er. If you are Interested call'and look at the McCormick-Deering.* You will agree with us that you can afford to buy no other. Edmonds Elevator & Implement Co. Phone 2118 . CAREY U. EDMONDS. Mgr.

All the bill boards on seven thou­ sand miles of Minnesota’a state high­ ways were burned the first week in December, the work being done in compliance with a state law going in­ to effect on that date which abolished bill boards “ within the limits of pub­ lic highways.” The methods end campaign that brought about this result is an inter­ esting one. Women, organised women, were the chief factor in starting the work, and state pride did the rest. Minnesota, like Michigan, is a state of lakes and beautiful scenery and the fact that ngly bill boards not only tended to mar the view out were often a men­ ace to safe travel in a state of 10,000 lakes, were two of the leading points stressed against them. Others were, that signboard owners do not pay taxes commensurate with their in­ come; signboards tend to lower the value of property near where they are located; signboards shut out light and air from buildings in congested dis­ tricts and increase fire hazards. The Minnesota State Federation of Women’s Clubs formulated the plans that started the ball rolling, elected a legislative committee, end got their attorney-general to draw up the law abolishing signboards on or along pub­ lic highways. C. M. Babcock, commissioner of high­ ways, believes in a few years every signboard along the highwavs win be taxed so heavily that it will be a question whether it will be profitable as an advertising medium. Michigan, one of the greatest sum­ mer resort states in the country, would do well to follow Minnesota’s work.

OBITUARY. Philip A. Palmatinx. was born in Has­ tings September 2, 1885, and died at the American legion Hospital, Camp Custfcr, April 4, 1924. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram C. Palmatier. Af ter the death of hiij mother, which oc­ curred when he was ,10 years old, he lived at the home of Philip Burgess, east of Hastings, for several years. When 16 years of ago he joined the United States army. Not being old enough to do this without the consent of his father, he enlisted under an as­ sumed name, giving his age as 19 years, and since that time has been known as Harry Fox. He served in nearly every branch of the army for the last 22 years. He was First Sergeant of Company L, 49th Infantry overseas. At the time of his discharge June 22, 1923, he was First Sergeant, Company F, 29th In­ fantry. On the seven! discharges found among hi* papers all were marked —service—honest and faithful; charac­ ter, excellent. He returned to Hastings in November 1923, and lived with his brother and wife, Mr. and Ma. Duainc Palmatier, until March 4 of this year when, through the efforts of the Wel­ fare Department of the Laurence J. Bauer Post of the American Legion, he was taken to Camp Custer hospital in the advanced stages of tuberculosis, where everything was done that could bo done to make hit last days comfort­ able. His remains were brought to Has­ tings and funeral services were held ^•the home of his brother Duainc on West Mill street.

Unless you are techni­ cally trained and have complete laboratory facilities, you cannot safely choose for yourself, because lubrication is as technical as is medicine or law. You cannot see the quality in oil. Only the petroleum chemist can say which oil is right. There is one right oil for your car. How are you going to know? By following the advice of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) highly trained ex­ perts. Thousands of motorists in the Middle West have done this and are using (Polarine PERFECT MOTOR OIL Made in Five Grades Automobile Chart of Recommendations: E E E was .brought to the ease These motorists are convinced that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) knows how to make a good motor oil and experience has proved that their confidence is well-grounded. Buying lubrication from the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is like buying expert legal talent or medical advice. You are buying the best scientific knowledge of its kind. Even refiners use Polarine — one of them writes he finds it cheapest and best. He says, “and I formerly refined petroleum for seven years; I know good gasoline and good oil.” Polarine will keep your engine in first-class condition — give longer life to your motor—more mileage from your gas—reduce carbon deposit and repair bills. Polarine retains its body under varying working conditions and distributes freely to all moving parts. It assures easy starting and flexible engine control.

Chats With Your Gas Man The late President Hard­ ing said, “I believe in ad­ vertising. It has done more to bring humanity to right understanding than almost anything else in the world.” We, too, believe in ad­ vertising, and its value as a moulder of public opin­ ion. And we have a splen­ did message to tell — a message of uninterrupted service, made possible be­ cause of the loyal and un­ selfish work of our em­ ployees. We have but one thing to sell — service. Every­ thing else is incidental to service. But he who serves cannot serve successfully unless he receives his rightful measure of appre­ ciation. Appreciation ! That’s the greatest reward for service; occasional ap­ preciation by those who are being served. So when we advertise, we advertise service. And the purpose behind the ad­ vertising is to secure what our late President defined as "right understanding.” Consumers Paver Co. Follow the chart at the left. It is scien­ tific.

A scries of meetings have been held there with most glorious results by Rev. EL EL Maynard. There was no religious society before, but one has been formed of nearly forty members, and they are perfecting arrangements to build a United Brethren Meeting House. You know Cedar Creek has been called a hard place, but what will the people of Hastings think when they come this way, to look throe or four miles ahead and see a respectable meeting house theref Besides cursing and licentious talk is not so frequent­ ly, heard on the streets and the reform seems to be genuine. But one thing is needed there yet, that is to convince fashionable gentlemen that they ought not to smoko in the stores until the goods are thoroughly saturated with tobacco. The house of Mrs. D. A. Bowker, oar township treasurer, took fire on the evening of the 3rd inst., supposed to have originated by the burning of soot in the chimney.

The damage was prized at about 3200. The carpet, some loose clothing, two bods, a trunk and other things be­ ing damaged. Insured in the Chicago Company. On the 4th and 5th inst., the United Brethren 'quarterly meeting was held at the Shroutz school house. All that were there saw the necessity of a meet­ ing house, for they were wonderfully crowded.

M. chapter, stating it was organized in September 1870, 44 years ago. Dan­ iel Striker, David G. Robinson, Trav­ ers Phillips, Ben W. Jackson, John Carlow, Eugene Hamilton, A. P. Drake, Charles Beckwith, Lewis West fall be­ ing the first officers, with the R. A. de­ gree first conferred in Hastings on William 8. and William 0. Goodyear and E. H. Mallory November 19, 1889. T. J. Brosscau, Alex Gilleland, Joseph Wardell, R. I. Hendershott, Cha*. L. Beamer, David and John Goodyear are among the veterana of the chapter still living in Hastings with Marcus Riker and C. H. Bauer ita oldest representstives. ! C. W. Mixer, Deputy G. M., gave I the history of Giblum Council whose I beginnings here camo when ten stab I wart “landmarks in local Masonry” I drove over to Battle Creek June 27, I 1878, took their R. and 8. M. degrees, I received their demits and in -Septem- I ber organized the local Council with I the following officers: T. Phillips, T. I L M.; A. P. Drake, D. M.; M. W. Ri­ ker, P. C. W.‘ Ira Hatch, Tree*.: W. H. Powers, Rec.; Geo. E. Altoft,C.G.; I Frank 8. Brown, C. C.; John Q. Cres- I sey, 8tcw.; Chas. Pritchard, Sen. The I first work done by the Council was on I Daniel Striker and W. D. Hayes. The story the building of the I present Temp# was related by those who did yeoman service in the cause, P. H. P. Finley E. Johnston and Pres. C. L. Bacheller, of the Masonic As­ sociation. P. M. John Payne, who was to have responded, was unable to be present. An informal talk by Paai Grand High Priest Roy Andrus, of Lansing, was also enjoyed. The pageant “Bondsmen No Long­ er” the words of which were written by J. M. Langston and F. L. Bauer, presented all the branches of the order in full regalia, with colored lights thrown on the tableaux, the east be­ ing as follows:—King Solomon, Win. | Shulters; Hiram of Tyre, Archie Reick- ' ord; Hiram Abiff, Jack Clark; High Priest, Frank Adair; Jeremiah, Jaa. Langston; Twelve Fcllowcrafts, Blue Lodge; Three Overseers, Blue Lodge; Five Stars, O. E. 8.; Grand Keeper of the Royal Seal, Geo. Coleman; Six Knights Templars, Commsndery; Cap­ tain of the Host, Robert Bureh; Cap­ tain of the Guard, Clarence Jext er; Eight Guards, Council. The storr centered around a proph­ esy made by the prophet Jeremiah in which is foretold the work before the local association in the building of a newer, finer Temple. This thought was touched upon in other speeches that night, and it would seem that the day was not far distant when active plans must bo formulated for the building of a Temple commensu­ rate with present and future needs of this rapidly growing order. The Giblum Council orchestra and the entire musical program proved the Masonic association were unusually fortunate in the wealth of material they could present from their own membership. F. L. Bauer, chairman of the committee on arrangements, pre­ sided most acceptably. A number of Masons from nearby towns were pres­ ent. NORTHWEST ASSYRIA. The subscribers of the Laccy Mu­ tual Telephone Co., through a straw vote taken Saturday, decided to re­ tain the alow time on which they have been operating. Mn.

The “Auto Inn Michigan's Largest Garage This magnificent building will be erected opposite Grand Rapids City Hall by the RAMP GARAGE CO. for the parking of automobiles. The location is ideal. Close to Hotels, Stores, Theaters, Office and Public Buildings. The foregoing are only a few of the reasons that might be set forth as indisputatble why the AUTO INN would be used by more people than it could possibly accommo­ date, and thus the earrings would be both large and profitable to you as an investor. For the reason that there is no mortgage or bonds expected to be issued against the property, the stockholders will actually own this wonderful garage. The Directors—Chas. M. Heald, Robt. G. Hill, Glenn R. Chamberlain, A. A. Ander­ son and Fred Z. Pantlind, are men of such wide reputation that not only Grand Rap­ ids, but all of Western Michigan know of their business successes.'

Barnum of Hastings made several calls on her way to her son’s Views on Playing Charlotte never bad the services of a more conscientious, loyal and deserv­ ing ball player than Max Eck, who we are happy to add is feeling better this spring than any time in the tat two yearn. Ho has been having eye trouble and last year remained out of the game entirely and although he is just reaching thirty-three years, he has probably played his tat game. Dauss, the Detroit mnnistay pitcher, is the same age and critics declare he has excellent prospects for this sea­ son. "A pitcher can stay up there longer than the rest of 'em," said Max tho other morning. "The catcher is the boy that takes the gruelling and is short lived. Good bitten are treat­ ed kindly, they can slip a year or two and still stay in the big game if they hit regularly. Sam Crawford “ is a good illustration of that," he said. "The big fellow got so he couldn’t run much and was dreadfully slow, but his tremendous hitting powers kept him in the Detroit line up for a season or two longer than otherwise would have been considered." Max played a lot of ball with "Wally" Pipp, the lank first sacker of the Yankees. The for­ mer captain says base ball for towns like Charlotte is a pure matter of econ­ omy, that a popular home team Is just the difference between home enter­ tainment at a low cost or outside amusement at higher cost.—Charlotte Republican.

Mis* Lydia J. Roberts, a well known economies teacher, lays down seven rules whereby) this condition may be largely overcome. They are: 1. Begin training early. Before the baby is six months old is not too soon. 2. Set a good example. Father and mother should eat all wholesome foods with apparent relish. 3. Never talk of food dislikes in the presence of children. Keep the child ’* dislikes out of the conversation as if they were something to be ashamed of —as they arc. 4. See that the child’s mental atti­ tude is right when giving him a new food. Treat it a* a luxury and get him to request it first, if possible. 5. Keep the diet simple, limiting all highly flavored foods, particularly sweet*. 6. Be sure the food* you give the child ar* really good. Don’t give him milk that has absorbed the flavors of the ice box, or overcooked, black vegetables. 7. If all these fail—which is very un­ likely if they are consistently employed—put before the ehild the foods he should have and see that he eat* them. Chas.

This case was tried at the lost term of court, the jury disagreeing, principally because the age of the girl was questioned. At tho former trial the girl’s sister swore that on her mother’s death bed, she said that she had set tho children’s ages back, and that they were all older than stated. Up to a day or two before the trial took place Prosecutor Bigler was de­ pending upon Mrs. Peake’s testimony to establish the girl’s age as being 14 years old. After the jury disagreed Mrs. Peake went before Judge Eggles­ ton. confessed to perjury, signing a written statement to that effect. At the trial last week Mr. Whitto­ morc was ably represented by Joe Hooper, of Battle Creek, one of the best known lawyers in western Michi­ gan, and John Gould of this eity, Pros­ ecutor Sigler representing the people. The case was hotly contested from start to finish. After being out something over an hour the jury brought in a ver­ dict of guilty.

The crankshafts are machined on all surfaces, as was done in the Liberty Airplane Motors. This to give perfect motor balance, at an ex­ tra cost to us of $600,000 yearly. It has more Timken bearings than any other competitive car within $1,500 of its price. cars in this class called in auditors to compare the operating costs. They made comparisons on 329 cars, run­ ning up to 25,000 miles. It was found that this Studebaker Light-Six cost for operation 11.4% less than the average of its rivals. This figure included depreciation. That meant $207.50 saved on 25,000 miles. All because of this quality con­ struction. What it saves yoa Some evidence The extra values which this car typifies have made Studebaker the largest builder of quality cars. • They have made these cars a sensation. Sales have almost trebled in three years. Last year 145,167 people paid $201,000,000 for Studebaker We build 150,000 cars yearly. All such major costs as engineering, dies, overhead, etc., are divided by 150,000. We build in model plants, with modern ma­ chinery, which have im­ mensely reduced the manufacturing costs. A car like this, built under ordinary condi­ tions, would cost you from $200 to $400 more.

Arthur Brisbane says the company is the best managed busi­ ness organization in the world. The entire oil business has been singularly frev from labor troubles which have beset many of the other major industries. Reasons for this can be found in the fact of the rapid growth of the industry, the payment of relatively high wages and the shifting of producing and refining centers. The oil companies, however, have not been content to allow harmony to rest entirely with conditions. Efforts have been made, in the Standard and other companies, to obtain the greatest harmony poesible among the workers. The Standard of Indiana was a pioneer in fostering a policy granting employes, through of labor and working conditions. How the plan is working is expressed by Colonel Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of directors* who says: The greatest thing needed in American industry today is a better understanding be* tween employes and management The day of intolerant and drastic methods by either the leaders of capital or labor is past Each needs the other, and the policy of establish­ ing good will, peace and understanding have been established between the management and employes of our company.

First it may be said that be is a man whom you would notice quickly if you should meet him casually on the streets. There is thnt about the man and his personality which would impress you that he Is very much more than an ordinary man. There are sev­ eral outstanding qualities, which may ba .mentioned. First is the simplicity of the man; his absolute genuineness. There is that about him which would immediate­ ly draw you toward him aa a man who eould be trusted implicitly,.* man of genuine character and worth. There in no ostentation about him whatever. He dislikes all show and, while he is not boorish enough to rebel against the for­ malities that go with official life in his position, It is easy to see that they have no attraction for him. In other words, he is very democratic in hi* ways and in his tastes. Our readers will be interested to know something about this New Eng­ lander who. suddenly and without seeking on his part, wns placed in the highest position in tho world. Both Mr*. Coolidge and himself are ns sim­ ple and plain in their ways and as modest in their dress, except where state oeoaaion* require a departure, as if they were back In their New Eng­ land home at Northampton. It was the privilege of the writer to see Mr. and Mr*. Coolidge enter and leave the Congregational ehureh at Washington, of which both are member*, on one of the Sundays while we were there. With smiling faces they came down the aisle to their seats as the congregation stood, as is cus­ tomary, until the President and Mrs. Coolidge were In their own pew.-Mrs. Cook and Miu Gertrude Smith were opportunity to observe Mrs. Coolidge closely, which you would expect women so situated to do. They said she was plainly dressed, that her hands showed familiarity with work and hard work; not that she is obliged to do that now as the first lady of the land, but she could do it if it were necessary, and always did it in their own home in Massachusetts. The President impressod tho two ladies as following the sermon closely and at the same time a* one who thought out the sub­ jects that were presented in the fine sermon, to which they both listened attentively. It is very rare that one has the opportunty to hoar Mr. Coolidge talk. Generally be let* the other fellow do the talking.

B. or B. 8. degrees from accredited colleges, spend twenty-five hours a week with the ex­ pectation of being ordained rabbis at the end of seven years work. The “Old Testament and -Talmud” to the Jew are tho most important books to learn because they contain the laws, not because they are concerned with the conscience of a man. Not what he thinks but what he does, determines the degree of a good or bad Jew. Bo these two book* in their original He­ brew fill the major portion of the Semi­ nary curriculum. In the library we saw an edition of the “Talmud” in eighteen volume*written in Hebrew and reading from the back to tho front and from rfgtt to Wt of course. The Misnah is the code of 613 com­ mandments arranged by a contemporary of Emperor Marcus Aurelius in the sec­ ond century. Part of one of these law* is printed boldly in the center of the page of the Talmud taking the space of only a few lineex Then framing this is tho commentary of scholar* written from tho second to the sixth century, A. D., called the Guomana. In still smaller type is a commentary set around nil four sides of this first authentic Guemana. From the seminary of such advanced learning we went to a Talmud Torah, where bovs study the Scriptures in He­ brew. The particular one of which I speak is open daily from four till nine P. M., while some Talmud Torahs teaeh only one-or three days a week. The schoolmaster speaking to u* emphasized two facta. One, that there are dis­ tinctions between the words Hebrew, Jewish, and Yiddish. Hebrew is the language of the “Old Testament,” re viving a* a living language; Jewish never refers to a language but rather to the race since the time of the exile from Palestine to Babylonia; while Yid­ dish is merely a dialect of the Eastern European Jews which is half pure He­ brew mixed with the German and Slavic languages. It is not fostered by schools. The other fact concerned the factors making a 100 per cent Jew. Ten per cent of his time is devoted to observ­ ances of the customs and ceremonies according to the laws, the most import­ ant being the Sabbath and Dietary ones; ten per cent to study of Hebrew language, literature and history; other ten per cent to interest in the new Palestine movement, and 70 per cent to ethical conduct.

Because of his keen intelligence, his love of reading and his conversational ability, Al. Gates is one of the best known members of the County Home family, and a visit to him is always sure to be of interest. Ho was born in Yankee Spring* March 19, 1856, on the place now owned by Luther Bcnsiba, one mile east of Bowens Mills. His father, Alexander Gates, died when he was four year* old. His education ended so for as school house* were concerned when he was 13, but in the wider schoolroom of the world it went on—in lumber camps as a timber cruiser and raftsman on turbu­ lent streams, aa general utility man in four different circus organizations, a* a peddler, street fakir, member of the Chicago police department for four Jear*, have hi* experience* lead him. He as also filled the unromantic role of farmer and been'n voter and tax payer in five of Barry county’s townships, and a resident of the city of Hastings ns well. He relates with an amused ehuekle that ho was at one time elected to the position of justice of the peace on the Prohibition ticket in Mason county. When 19 years of age Mr. Gates had a position with the VanAmberg circus, remembered by many of the older resi­ dents of the county, and he recalls driv­ ing past the County Home on his wav to Nashville, little thinking, as he said, that he would bo living there himself 48 years later. Circus life in those days wns no place for a slacker. Be­ sides driving horse* and putting up the canvas, be was called on to fill a dozen different roles. He was the official “barker” and ticket seller for the side show and still love* to get off the spiel required to attract the attention of the crowd. Five months at a time he never slept in a bed at night, getting his sleep on top of hi* wagon or rolling Into a blanket oa the ground. Mr. Gates is a great reader, his room bearing witness to the fact. A rough ed with current periodicals, and there are a few bound volumes among them. He is unusually well versed in all the topics of the day and shows an intelli­ gent familiarity with names prominent on both rides of the Atlantic. He can toll you readily from what state all the boat known senators, representatives and cabinet men hail and their stand on the questions of the day. He has fol­ lowed the ins and outs of the Teapot Dome scandal with great interest. He is always cheery unless in pain, being a great sufferer at times from the effects of locomotor ataxia. Ho loves good fiction and has made a Particular study of natural history, □owing the names and habit* of many animals.

CHARLIE WON T HANG WALL PAPER AGAIN ONE THRILLING EXPERIENOE WAS ENOUGH FOR HIM iHAD ENVIED EXPERTS OF INTERIOR DECORATION , Birds of Paradise in Fields of ■ Roses Killed Ambitions of Would-Be Artist Charlie Honey, who owns the O. K restaurant on Jefferson street likes the business all right, hut to him there has always been a charm about the hanging of wall paper that was very appealing. He eould stand for hours end watch the skilled paper hanger daub paste on one side of a long strip of wall paper, deliberately mount a step-ladder, and easily run it across tho ceiling, so that every figure in the design would match perfectly. When it wns all completed it was a joy to look up at the ceiling and gaze upon the perfect picture. Everything fitted; there wero no gaps between the strips, figures and designs perfect. That kind of work was doing something worth while, adding to the world's happiness Mr. Haney owns a farm two or three miles out of the city, on which there is a cozy little home that needed in­ terior decoration. Here was his chance. He knew ho could do the work all right, because he had watched other paper hangers do it. Ho gave a lot of time too in the selection of the paper, or­ dered the boat he could get. and in fancy pictured driving oht there some day with Mrs. Haney, and as a delight­ ful surprise pointing to those artistical­ ly decorated rooms, and amid her ex­ clamations of surprise and joy proudly say:—”1 did it all alone.” In the design that he selected Birds of Para­ dise stalked in fields of rosea, and the blue-background all combined to make a celestial vision not soon forgotten. So one day last week Charlie went out to his farm, loaded down with wall paper, paste, brushes, shears, step lad­ ders 'n every thin’. Of course he had previously cleaned the walls and ceil­ ing, so he started right to work, so happy in the thought that ho was at last to be engaged in his chosen work, that he couldn't refrain from break­ ing out in song. Charlie first pasted a great long strip across one side of the ceiling. But evidently some little detail had been overlooked because the whole strip of beautiful paper divorced itself from the ceiling and came down on his head, twining itself paste-side down about his manly form. In his efforts to extricate himself from the sticky mass, his head poked a big hole through the paper, which was also torn and crumpled through the rough hand­ ling it received. By the time he had partially disen­ gaged himself and reached the floor a lot of the paper had got pretty well set and it was a job to tear it off. But Charlie didn’t want anyone to know about it so he worked until he thought he had all the pieces picked off. But when he reached home that eve­ ning a Bird of Paradise and a buneh of roses on a field of azuro blue were discovered sticking to the seat of his pants. Explanations were necessary and the joke was too good to keep. Char­ lie says that, hanging paper on a wall has lost all attractions for him. From dawn till evening the churches of Hastings were fillet! with worshippers on Easter Sunday. Altars and pulpit* were redolent with the fraganee of lovely lilies and other beautiful flow­ ers, many being sent as memorials for loved ones, who have triumphed over death as did the Christ, who by His great sacrifice made possible the resur­ rection and the joy and certainty of a life hereafter, which spirit pervade* Emmanuel Episcopal chnreh, the mosieal program for Easter day was most beautiful and appropriate. The chorea of thirty voices, under the leadership of Wallaee Osborn, had worked faith­ fully for several weeks upon the music, resulting in exquisite harmony and splendid interpretation, those hearing it declaring that it was the moat beau­ tiful ever rendered at Emmanuel church. The solos were effectively taken by Mr*. James Langston and Miss Kath­ arine Pritchard, sopranos; Miu Etta Paton, contralto; Dr. L. E. Holly, ten­ or; and Fred Spaulding, baritone. The program as announced in last week’* BANNER was rendered. Fr. John Wilkinson preached an ap­ propriate Easter sermon, and the cus­ tomary offering was taken. Pint Presbyterian Chnreh.

Special solo number* were taken by Miss Vida Cole, Mrs. Fraser Ironside, Miu Ethel Wilber and D. A. VanBuskirk. Rev. Edgar Cochron of Lansing, who is supplying the pulpit at present, de­ livered a splendid Eaater sermon. Es­ pecially beautiful were the flowers, most of them being given -in memory of loved ones, who have gone before, Methodist Episcopal Chnreh. . A sunrise service at six o’clock opened th© Easter day observances at the Methodist Episcopal church, the communion service and reception of new members being the special fea­ tures.

At the ten-thirty service, the pastor gave a splendid sermon on “What They Found.” Hi* remarks were based on the visit in the early morning of the women to the tomb of Jesus, and what they found there—the stone rolled from the door, the empty tomb and then Christ Himself.

It Might Be Well to Keep in Mind It’s none too early to begin your plans for Mother’s Day which comes May 11th, tho second Sunday in the month. Lots of times you leave it till the last thing and it’s too late to do the resilly fine things you had in mind to do—and so you send a telegram or order a bunch of flowers and let it go at that. Wouldn’t it be a fine thing for just this one day in the year to put aside all personal desires, and just plan something with Mother's likes and desires foremost in that! Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind:— Have a “home” outing with mother and father as guests. Home going is desirable if it does not keep mother in the kitchen with extra work Sat­ urday and a good share of Sunday, getting ready for the day. A pot luck is a good idea with mother sitting in state in the “parlor” aa the really true guest-of-honor. If you are absent write a nice let­ ter and don’t be afraid to tell her all the things she has meant to you. I>oa*t send a post card or wire—but write.

Pflug, of 'Washington, were startled to learn of his death, which occurred there on Fri | day afternoon as the result of injuries < i caused by his wife, from whom he had been estranged for some time, who fired 1 at i close range three shots into his body, and then took poison, evidently with , i suicidal intent. The particulars ax given in the Wash­ ington Star are as follows: Dr. Pflug was nt his office, which is in one of the fine apartment building* in the national capital, nt the time his estranged wife shot him. He died at a Washington hospital a short time after nnd while surgeons were trying to ex­ tract the bullets. The paper says that Mrs. Pflug is in a serious condition and was unconscious when t|ie article in tho Star wax written. It appears that the couple have been estranged for some time. Mrs Pflug began divorce proceedings some time ago, but subsequently discontinued them. Lost week the doctor, after he learned she had dropped the suit, him­ self filed a petition for divorce. It ap­ pear* that she came to his apartment Friday afternoon to talk matter* over. It appear* also that they quarrelled. She claimed to the officers that he struck her, tbnt she then shot him. But the bullet wound* scorn to sustain the doctor's claim: that she deliberately shot him. Ho stated shortly before his death that ho was standing in bis lab­ oratory, looking out of the window, when his wife carpe up behind him and shot him in the back. The physicians, who were sumoned in tho' case, found it to bo true that ho was shot from behind, the ball entering through his kidney. He claimed that when be was shot he turned toward hi* wife, who then shot him twico in the chest. Tho Washington paper state* that Mrs. Pflug was a drug addict, and that she was constantly under the influence of a hnbit-forming drug, although it is not one forbidden by the Harrison VALLEY VIEW CORNERS.

This is particularly true of the people who have constantly increasing bank balances. A dependable bank is a necessity in every growing center, because it provides 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 not want to ’add both to his own prosperity and to the public good. Therefore every progressive person should have a bank account, for this is the first thing to do to accomplish these ends. We are anxious to see this city and surrounding commun ity prosper. We are anxious to see each individual in it prosper, Building up a good bank balance and wisely investing that money mean future prosperity for you and this community.

HOME Continued from page one. on a letter recently received from a friend who was interested in spiritual­ ism, he said, "I have followed all that psychic stuff of Conan Doyle’s, and Bir Oliver Lodge’s, and their school of writers, and I don’t get much from it. The old-fashioned beliefs are safest in the long run.". Kelt to Mr. Gates’ room is a-man often carried away with religions zeal. He has worked in Mel Trotter’s mission and talks much of hia soul’* salvation. His loud pray­ ing often Interfered with Mr. Ga’cs’ reading, so one day the latter said to him, "----- do you think you have tn yell like that to make God hear you! If you do you are laboring under a mis­ taken idea for when the Lord was on earth he condemned people aa hypo­ crites for loud praying, and told them to enter in their closet and shut the door and pray to the Father in secret. Just suppose you try it out once." He has evolved a creed that many would do well to follow. He quoted Chauncey M. Depew’s interview given out a few weeks ago shortly before his 90th birthday, on how to keep young, and said they were his sentiments ex­ actly. "I won’t let myself think old. I want my mind to grow as long as I live and my eyes are (pared. I like to feel that I am well bred and well read, not a worm of the dust, that my mind hasn’t become seedy even if my clothes and my fortunes have," said this County Home philosopher. He fares bis condition and future with all tbo stoicism of a real soldier. He feels the greatest fight he ever made was the overcoming of the deadly morphine habit, which fastened itself on him during the early stages of his incurable disease and to which he seldom resorts out hi* suffering* during the flr*t 15 davs he commenced to do without it. His wife, to whose memory he is very devoted, died 12 year* ago. Has­ tings people may remember her when they.lived in the Nevins block where she" did dressmaking for a time. ShortIv after she died he went to Florida witKa few hundred dollars, attracted by We prospects of investment. A ease of uShrepresentation and misplaced con­ fided* brought dire results. It was the old case, the one man getting experi­ ence, the other the money. He was sirred with one of his severe attacks of illness while there, which rendered him helpless.

Aa soon an he eould get on the train he came beck where be was carried me. his condition aueh that it was not expected that be would live the week dut. This was nine year* ago and he has never fully regained the use of his limbs, moving about with great unsteadiness and difficulty when ho does attempt to walk. That Mr. Gates retains an unusual memory is evidenced by the ability with whieh ho reeites some of the old spiers he used when a traveling peddler and professional "barker" for the circus troupes with which ho was associated. Like the folk-lore of our country these harangues are an interesting study, their rhetoric accentuated by hyper­ bole and comparison. We had been told it was often Mr. Gates’ custom while sitting on the lawn in summer days to gather a crowd of the inmates about him by repeating some of these old time, bombastic orations or to sound them in lieu ef the dinner or supper bell, so we asked him to favor u* with a sample. Borne few years ago there was a man on the summer Chautauqua Li’lcd a* "Gatling-gun Foglesong," because of hi* rapid fire mode of utterance. We beard nim and were duly impressed, but after listening to Mr. Gates’ circus­ barking speech, we felt he bad the math -advertised Foglesong beaten a mile. We got lost in the first, sentence we attempted to jot down in our note book and gave up, later sending the BANNER office official stenographer out there to catch the torrent of words that like Tennyson’s famous cataract at Lodore, never pauses once turned on. Bbc opines that as a test for rfipid dictation, it lays court stenography quite in the shade. Mr. Gates has any number of these so-called spiels of which the following three are representative. The flrat is the one he used at one of the circus side show tents. Imagine, he says, the parade is over, a hand organ playing, end monkey* climbing the banner pole on the outside: Circus Barker Spiel. "Come gather around me here and listen to what I am going to tell you. There are four shows here^won the ground today.

He solved the prob­ lem that no man born eould get along without the use of soap. It removes tar, pitch, paint, oil or varnish from your clothing. It relaxes the muscles, it strengthens your nerves, it beauti­ fies your complexion and puts a smile on your face an inch and a half thick that time will never wear eway. It is a sure cure for bald heads, bloody noses and dirty feet. It is a duty you owe yourself to take a cake of this home and cleanse yourself from head to foot. Bear in mind it is written down in that book of Holy writ that 'cleanliness is next to godliness.* And I place the price in the reach of all. Here’s a cake for dad, and there is one for ma’am and there is one for sister Sal, one for the cook and one for the hired gal. And if you will take the whole six along for a quarter of a dollar I will wrap them for a quarter of a dollar. Take them or leave them, the only money that will ever take'them away. They drive away all weeping eyes, so back your wagon up boys and load up while I am here today. Anybody else want them! I should say you do; take them right along, folks!

How often you hear such remarks as: "It’s not nearly as good as Buick”. People make these remarks both consciously and unconsciously. Consciously, because they actually know Buick value either from their own experience or that of their friends; unconsciously, because for twenty years Buick has been the accepted standard of the industry. Good reasons, both, why you should own a Buick. . WOODBURY/ Mr. and Mrs. John Easley, who spent the winter in southern Illinois, arrived in Woodbury, Wednesday. Mrs. Leo Hynes is on the sick list.

FARM LOAN ASSN. ORGANIZED FOR BARRY CO. Farmers Can Now Arrange for Farm Loans Through This Rational Organisation The former* of Barry county ean now take advantage of the National Farm Loan which is being used *o gen­ erally by other counties of the state. Barry county was 'the last county in Michigan, of any considerable amount of taxable wealth, to organize a loan association. On account of the deflated condition- of agriculture being *o ap parent for the last four years, and for which even now we ean see no imme­ diate relief, we have been inclined to discourage any increase of indebtedness od farm* of farm property. The direct effect of deflation ha* been a lowering of the value* of all farm property. Therefore farm loans are not so much sought after by the individual investor. Also the state banking com­ missioner’s ruling make* it impossible for bank* to loan only n certain per, cent of their capital in real estate. With these condition* existing the interest rate ha* advanced to a point where it is practically impossible to make the investment pay. Therefore a sufficient number of men, who wished to establish a National Farm Loan association in the county, met at the court house, Has­ tings, Tuesday evening, April 15th, and completed the . organization. The following were elected ns officer* and directors of the association: Officers—Harry L. Carr, president; Chas. A. Scott, vice-president; F. W. Bennett, secretary-treasurer. Board of Director*—J. L. Barnum, M. W, Stutz, Harry L. Carr, Chas. A. Scott, Henry A. Zerbel. lutrnl Investigator—F. W. Bennett. Loan Committee—Cha*. A. Scott, J. L. Loon Barnum, Harry L. Carr. Alternate Loan Committee—Louis Neeb, J. E. Edwards, M. W. Stutz. Information concerning a loan may be obtained from any one of these men. Application for a loan should be made to the secretary-treasurer, F. W. Ben­ nett. Ancient Egyptian Women.

Congressman Ketcham told the writ­ er that one of the press correspondents at Washington told him of sitting be •ide Mr. Coolidge, who was then Vice President, nt a banquet, and to his surprise he found him quite willing to talk. The correspondent finally turned the conversation in the direction of finances, and said to Mr. Coolidge: ”1 suppose in your work as a Inwyer nnd in the positions that vou have oc­ cupied, you have accumulated enough so that you ean afford to come to Wash­ ington and: fill the poorly paid position of Vice-President, notwithstanding its roeages salary.” Mr. Coolidge replied that he had given very little thought to accumulation of money in his life­ time; that he was far from well to do; stated that when he came to Wash­ ington to take up the duties of Vico President all be had in the world was his law library and his very modest home ia Northampton, on which there was then a mortgage of $2500. But to show that he was the possessor of genuine New England thrift, VicePresident Coolidge proudly said: “But I have paid off that mortgage since I come to Washington, and have $1800 in the bank.” which would not in­ dicate that he is much of a grafter. It was also reported that when he re­ ceived his first cheek as President, he took it to tho bank and, having en­ dorsed it, handed it to hia banker with the remark, “That’s a lot of money. You know what to do with it better than I do.” President Coolidge and his wife are both college graduates and their two sons are now in college. It is char­ acteristic of them that because of pub­ lie interest in them they have been willing to oblige the persistent news­ paper reporters by posing for kodak pictures, they postively decline to al­ low any pictures to be taken of their two sons by newspaper men for dis­ play in newspaper column*. They do not want their son* to grow up with any eonceitcd notions. Along with hi* quiet, dignity, which impresses you at first sight, yon could not fail to note that President Coolidge is a man given to thinking things through and thinking them straight. As the possessor of a good-old-fashioned New England conscience, he knows where and how to draw the line straight and sharp, on matters of right and wrong. He is a tireless worker, with great capacity for turning out work, and would have made a great executive at the head of some big business, or would have made a great reputation as a lawyer. Almost from his young man­ hood he has been drafted into public life anil has served his city as mayor, his county as county attorney, also as a member and president .of the Massa­ chusetts state senate, and a* lieutenantgovernor nnd governor of that state. Since 1921 he has been Vice-President and President of our country, filling both positions with the highest credit. But one can see that such a public life has given him no opportunity to build up his finances, and he has never given it a thought except to live economically and prudently and save what he could out of his salary, and devote his time, study and effort to give the best pos sible service in the positions where ho is expected to be the servant of the people. The people 'a interests are-quitc evidently his chief concern in his pub lie life and work, and he has the ability to see where their real interests lie, un­ moved by any clamor, with contempt for all demagogic appeals, and with singleness of purpose, doing the thing that his alert sense of right and wrong and his keen, highly efficient, splendidly trained mind .show him is for the best interests of America and her people. In a recent public address Secrctaiy of State Hughes expressed the public conception of President Coolidge v.ery fairly, we think. He stated that in President Coolidge the nation has an ex­ ecutive whose ability, whose training and whose character arc such that they enn, and they do, implicitly rely upon him to care for their interests in all matters at Washington. Secretary Hughes further stated the truth when he said, “That under present condi­ tions in our country and in the world, a man of such great ability, such keen­ ness, sueh worth as a man, nnd such peal to the votcni of America for sup­ port. Ho has been tried and not found wanting.” It will be pleasing to our readers to know how rapidly, under the efficient direction of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, the public debt of the United States is being paid. The following are authoritative figures: September 1, 1010, the public debt of the United States was $26,596,000,000. On January 1, 1924, the public debt was $21,842,000,000, a reduction in a little over four years of $4,754,000,000. That is a most remarkable showing and proves the wisdom of having such a man as Mr. Mellon in charge of the nation's finances. The little senatorial yelpers, who are barking at this big man, hoping thereby to gain a little political notoriety for themselves, are not going to hurt Secretary Mellon or his administration of the finances of this country. He is too big a man for that, and these small fry are simply advertising their own littleness. The nation will endorse Secretary Mellon and approve of President Coolidge for In the writer’s judgment, American conditions and world conditions call for just such a man in the Presidential chair as Calvin L. Coolidge. No doubt there are as patriotic and as talented men as ha in the democratic as well a* in his own party. But be is now filling the office which means so much to our country and to the world. He has the situation in hand, and knows it intimately, and has the capacity and the character Unmeet the problems with care and success nnd to guide the ship of state safely until settled conditions shall be reached. It was the homely but wise saying of Abraham Lincoln that should be heeded now: “Never swap horses in the. middle of the stream.” Mr. Coolidge has shown his fairness, his Americanism and the courage of his sincere convictions in his recent message to the senate, reminding that body that its chief business should not bo muck­ raking and scandal mongCry, but should be legislation for the interests of the American commonwealth and its people. The majority of the senators are now serving on some one of a dozen or mor? “investigating committees,” and nave lost all sense of propriety in their mad chase after political ammunition. In this search convicted thieves, bootleg­ gers, train robbers, gamblers and den­ izens of the underworld, have been summoned from all parts of the coun­ try to Washington, at public expense, to supply party ammunition for use next fall'. Now they arc investigating the investigators! This craze for in­ vestigation has greatly impeded the work of the departments' and has de­ layed consideration of urgent legisla­ tion. Had the senate, after it had opened up the oil scandal, which in­ volved members of both parties, and then had it expressed its conviction of Daugherty’s unfitness, and then turned over the whole matter to President Coolidge for action, it would have been fur better than tho orgy of muck-rak­ ing that has followed and still continues, and against which members high in the councils of both parties have loudly protested, and have urged the senate to get down to doing its real job.

Gas gives you clean, instant, perfect heat— putting its entire content into that heat, and delivering it right where you want it. The old way of heating with coal, wood or oil meat much wastage—first, in burning the fuel to make the heat; second, in scattering it about. Take the heating of water, for example.

This Is estab­ lished beyond doubt by the text of Kou kin yt tong, which was brought to the attention of the Academy of Sciences In 1.M9 by Stanislas Julien. The Chinese anesthetic, known as ma yao—that Is to say, “the remedy which takes away feeling"—was ex­ tracted from Indian hemp, which also yields hasheesh. The old Chinese text tells us: “Haona-t’ouo gave a dose of ma yao to the patient, who a few minutes lat­ er became unconscious—that is, as though he were deprived of life.

They had been delayed in resuming their trip because of unfavorable weather. She says their welcome had been a meat cordial and enthusiastic one, and that the British air men who are expected to arrive in Juno cannot be received more heartily. They bad been having fine spring weather warm enough to permit their fires to go out. when a change came bringing snow and sleet. It was at thia time the planes arrived on their jump-off from Seattle, one of them being slightly damaged in landing. The leader of the party re­ ports he does not expect to encounter worse weather conditions anywhere on the trip than they ran into shortly after leaving Seattle.

As a matter of fact it wa* part of the contract that tho company would take as their pay what ac­ tual tests would show the new pumj would save over the old equipment in the one item of fuel alone. It will be remembered that the first pump installed by the Canton Company was altogether too small and could not begin to deliver the amount of water contracted for; neither did it show the saving in fuel that was ex peeted. The Loew Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Ohio, through the Can­ ton Company, arranged to build and deliver to this city a satisfactory pump that would meet the require­ ments of the contract. This pump was installed several months ago, and in the meantime has been given thorough tests. A three day test of the new pump, and a like test of the old one showed that the new one was saving C 2least at —_ K per r-------eent*_2 in K fuel — per thous_and A gallons of water as compared with the old outfit. The new pump is very much larger, aad the engineering forte of the Loew Company have evidently spent a great deal of time and effort to make it satisfactory, and it appears to be en­ tirely so. Recently Mr. Walter Loew, secre­ tary and treasurer of the Cleveland Company, was in Hastings and affected a settlement with the council, fixing the price for the new pump at $8,175, which sum the eity agrees to pay withooi interest. Ten per cent of the total amount is to be paid every six months. From the teats made and from the M X some of whieh wear license numbers, but more do not. The residents in the vicinity of the eity park, whieh is the dogs' favorite romping ground, are not keen about having their yards and gardens tern up by these mongrels racing through and over their proper­ tv. There axe places for dogs, but those places are certainly not at the city school grounds nor annoying other people. Several hundreds of eanine dsaths around this town would not deaths come amiss.

This is a very great compliment to Cong. Ketoham, because anyone who knows about the bustacM at Waahingtoa, and how it is done, will realize that the House does not fall over itself to pass nil bills that are presented. The mem­ bers must believe that the measure has real merit that warrants giving their votes for it. It is not thought this bill will have any opposition in ths Senate. The purpose of the bill is to develop foreign markets for our agri­ cultural products and to equip the United States Department of Agricul­ ture with the necesoary organization to learn about- such markets and the most practical ways for American fanr. products to enter these trade centers. Svenr bill relating to agriculture must first have the approval of the House Committee on Agriculture of which Mr. Ketcham is a member.

If a man thinks he is go­ ing to catch congress listening to a lot of hot air, he is much mistaken. The member who attempts it generally speaks to empty seats.

The offices of the congressmen arc in an immense, 5 story, marble building, covering two big city blocks. The same building also provides ample committee rooms. As we have ex­ plained, when not engaged in commit­ tee work or attending a session of congress tho congressman can almost invariably bo found in his office and I hard at work.

As a matter of fact a congressman's OAR VETH A BTEBBINB work is very much like that of a very busy lawyer. Ho spends almost all of his time in his office, or in attending the sessions of his committees. If a vote is to be taken, at a session of either the House or Senate, warning bolls are sounded in the hotels and all through the eapitol and the House and Senate office building*, in ample time so that a senator or congressman can go to the Capitol from his office, hotel or committee room in time to respond when his name is called; and most congressmen desire to vote on the propositions, especially if they are of any importance. In this connection it will be interesting to his friends to know that Congressman Ketcham has missed but one roll call at the present session of congress. Suppose we just outline an average day for an average congressman, and PHONE 3254 that will give our readers an idee of what not only Congressman Ketcham, Frank Sage Leon Bauer but 424 other congressmen are doing. The idea that being a congressman or a senator is a soft snap is about as far from the truth as anything can be. It means hard, painstaking work, close ---- -- ---------1 1 attention to business from the time the congressman starts in Washington until the session is ended. It is not a lazy man’s job. If a laxy man gets into it, he soon finds it a very uncom­ fortable place to be in, and he either gets out or is helped to get out very soon.

EVERY ONE Who Opens a Bank Account helps to make his town richer and himself more prosperous. This is particularly true of the people who have constantly increasing bank balances. A dependable bank is a necessity in every growing center, because it provides a clearing house for funds which are put to work in the interests of local business and farming enterprises. I There is no one worth while in this community who does not want to add both to his own prosperity and to the public good. Therefore every progressive person should have a bank account, for this is the first thing to do to accomplish these ends. We are anxious to see this city and surrounding commun­ ity prosper.

Just at present the committee on agriculture is busy, nnd has been for many weeks, with what is called the MeNary-Haugan Bill, whose purpose is to raise the price of farm products and then to stabilize them at the ad­ vanced prices. If you think that is an easy job. try to think it out for yourself, ana you will at once become aware of several difficulties to be en­ countered. This bill has been de­ nounced as socialistic; but its authors cannot seo any good reason for so classing it. It has been criticised as being class legislation. It manifestly is that and ought to be in view of con­ ditions that exist in the fanning in­ dustry right now. Statistics prove that prices of farm products, as com­ pared with pre-war prices, would be represented by about 100, that is they are not much different than they were previous to America's entrance into the World war; but the prices of every­ thing that the farmer has to buy have advanced about 50 per cent above pre­ war prices. Now the prices of nearly all the things that the farmer has to buy are very much affected by our tariff say the advocates of this bill. Manifestly wo could not produce articles in this country in competition jrith much cheaper labor in other countries with­ out a protective tariff. The effect of that tariff is to enable the manufac­ turer to make a fair profit on'his goods nnd pay the very high scale of wages that prevails in this country. Nobody wants the scale of living for our work­ ers reduced. What we want is to miso the level of farm prices instead of lowering the level of the prices of other commodities. Everybody knows that it is better for this country to manufacture the things here that we consume in America and let our work­ ers get tho benefit of the high wages and our manufacturers get the bene­ fit of employment of capital in pro­ ductive industry. That helps every­ body. If tho manufacturer finds that he has a production surplus, he ean dispose of it at cost in some other country if he wishes. If that does not offer an attractive opening he can reduce his production. As the number of manufacturers is comparatively limited in any one Has of industry, they can and do, unitedly act to save a demoralization in prices, which would hurt everyone of them and hurt the country as well. But when you come to the farmer posed to apply the same methods to you find that his prices are fixed, not other farm products if this bill is by the tariff, but by the exportable passed. This outlines the claims of surplus which we send abroad, and as the friends of this will. that surplus comes into competition It is needless to say that represent­ with products produced with cheaper ing, as he doos, not only the fanners labor, or on much cheaper land, the of his district out the farmers of the American fanner is strictly up against state and nation as well, Congressman it.

Our congressman feels that any greatly increased taxes and increased bill that gives promise of relief to the costs of continuing his business. The farmer is well worth trying right now.

Thia in other countries, with which our will, so claim tho advocates of this farm products may compete, and also bill, raise home prices on such com­ knowledge of the foreign markets for modities as wheat, meats, cotton, etc., American farm products.

April 22nd, A. E. Thomas' “Only *B,” a bright, pleasing play, full of good dialogues and plot slight in it­ self but sufficient to hold interest to the end. The play tells the story of a young woman, the wife of a Methodist min­ ister, left widowed at the age of M with twins, a boy and a girl of IB, to educate. Her husband had been yean older and aho had never had the opportunity to give expression to the spirit of youth, still dominant within her. Her chance comes, in the college town to which they move after her husband's death, where a second ro­ mance develops wjth a delightfully un­ derstanding English professor. Miss Ruth Lindsay, as the young and attractive widow, on whose shoulders much of the success of the play rested, filled the role perfectly, giving a most natural and convincing interpretation of the part. Ward Grant, who played opposite her, helped materially by the finished way in which he disclosed the character of the professor to the audi­ ence. Ruby Fox as one of the twins had a difficult role, and did a notable piece of work as the pretty, troubled young daughter. Colon Schaibly was one of the nigh lights in the east, and did a fine piece of character work as the widow's aged father, from whom she seemed to nave inherited much of her fun-loving proclivities. Rolfe Bull­ ing, the boy twin, also helped to make the east and story a good one, while Doretha Edmonds, Carl Bauer, Krantz Keller, Norris Ehle and Stella Heath filled in smaller roles as college friends in a finished manner. Gosdon Clement, Hubert Blakney, Marie Kurtz and Nor­ ma Baker added life and color to the college group and merry-makers at the widow's home. The audience, as always, enjoyed the High school orchestra under Mias Wil­ ber's leadership. Miss Bernice Creaser showed herself an c>cellent coach by the manner in which the play went off, and the fine reception given it. f 'cOURT HOUSE NEWS PRORATE OOURT. Estate of Emma Snyder.

ITEMS * In nn effort to learn from the chief ex­ ecutives of states having largo indus­ trial centers just what has been the effoet of prohibition on labor the Union Signal, official organ of the Wom­ an’s Christian Temperance Union, re­ cently asked for an opinion from nine governors. Every one declared favor­ ably concerning it, the trend of senti­ ment being that labor had gained the most and has the most to gain from the honest enforcement of prohibition. Governor Walter M. Pierce of Ore­ gon says: “I know that prohibition has vastly improved the condition of working men. Many little feet wear shoes today and these same children have books to read and study that they would not have had if we had the booze joints back or the legalized sale of liquor in any form. The wives and children have more nt stake in this fight than any other class. Today thou­ sands of workingmen after their day’s work is done go home and rest, work in their garden around home; when for­ merly they spent all their leisure time nt the corner saloon. If we elect men to office in sympathy with the prohibi­ tion law our trouble will vanish at once. We eaunot expect drinking offi­ cers and judges to honestly enforce the law, for they are not in sympathy with it. I hope the people everywhere, those who believe in clean homes, will vote for men for office who believe in the enforcement of laws including the prohibition law.” Governor Lee M. Russell of Mississip­ pi says: “The use of intoxicating liquors in any form hue been n curse to the world. It has never brought any user money, honor or real pleasure; its mission is to degrade, debauch and fin­ ally destroy. The world's greatest lead­ ers have always come from the labor­ ing class of people, their vision is broader add deeper than all others. In order to think properly and live right­ eously it is necessary to have a clear head and a strong body—intoxicants in any form are the worst enemy of these two principles. Our people favor a bone dry world.” Governor W. D. Denny of Delaware save: “I believe that the beneficial re­ sults of prohibition both morally and economically cannot bo overcstimatctL applying to the workingman and all dint! of citizens in the country. ” Governor Groesbeck, Michigan, de­ clares that on the whole the people are infinitely better off without the saloons than with them. “The people of Michi­ gan would never think of going back to the license system.” Governor Percival Baxter of Maine, says: “The people of Maine of all classes and all occupation.* have great­ ly beneflttod by prohibition.

The people of the state of Maine will oppose to the utmost of their strength the legalizing of beer and wine. Our citizens arc level-headed enough to un­ derstand the propaganda of the liquor interests. You can count upon the peo­ ple of Maine, including the governor, to stand four-square for the Eighteenth Amendment, the Volstead Act, and the constitutional and statutory provisions of our state laws that are in favor of prohibition and temperance.” Governor Thomas McRae of Arkan­ sas, says: “There arc thousands of homes in Arkansas where a greater measure of domestic happiness exists, where less of privation and want are to be found, ail due to our prohibition lavs, state and national. Business men, such as merchants, saw-mill opcraton, construction contracton and manufac­ turers, tell us that labor conditions have Iwcn more satisfactory under prohibi­ tion than before. There is greater thrift, less suffering and more domestic and community tranquility than during the days of the open saloon.” WOODBURY.

There comes a time in every young man’s and young woman’s life when he or she have the chance to choose which place in life’s work they willqccupy. It’s the “parting of the way?,” The one way is Correctly Trained Brains. The other way is by the path of Brute Strength. The one way leads to a position of Independence, Power, Affluence and Satisfaction. The other way is forever—Servitude, Dependence and Dissatisfaction. For Forty-tivo Years Michigan Business and Normal College has Correctly Trained Young Merifand Young Women to Fill Positions Where Trained Brains are Necessary Hundreds of our Graduates Scattered from Maine to California and from Canada to the Gulf are drawing Big Salaries Because They Received the Correct Training—Training which Enabled Them to Go to the Top. Success Guidance Given Every Student Who Attends the Michigan Business and Normal College. A young man cameto 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 aa bookkeep­ er but as a salesman,. and the first six months his salary and commis­ sions totaled $4,800.00. Today he is a field manager for a large manu­ facturing corporation, a position he secured because of his exceptional ability in salesmanship and the training he received at the Michigan Business and Normal College. L HASTINGS DRUG CO. Who Not Capitalize Your Natural Ability bp Talcing Advantage of the Training Offered by the Michigan Business and Nor­ mal 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, without 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 new science to many. It has been Mr. Argubright’s hobby for many yean 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. Th# 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 ob­ tain the greatest success with the least effort. It is our business to find the place which every graduate of this school is beat fitted to fill. And bear thia in mind—The Michigan Butine*. and Normal College is Ab­ solutely the Only School Anywhera in This Part of the Country Giving Real AaabUnca of This Kind to Its Graduates.

There are outstanding at the present time $31,072.65 of eity bonds. The cash is in tho city’s “interest and sinking fund” right now to pay and retire $6,000.00 of thc’c bonds during the months of May nnd June. That will cut the bonded debt to $24,400.00. However this debt will be increased $8,2iM.O0 hy the first of July, when tho Broadway paving bonds will be sold. These have ab ready been authorized. That will bring tho city’s indebtedness up to aubatantially $32,700.00. of which a consider­ able part will be paid by owner* of property on the paved streets for whieh tho bonds wore issued. When you consider what this city owns in its paved streets, its invest­ ment in water works, nnd in its real estate, it surely has much to show for the little that it owes. More than half the payments have been made to retire the $108,000.00 school bonds now outstanding. When one figures on what the city has in tho way of school buildings and equip­ ment, it will be seen that it surely is well fixed in view of tho smallness of its debt.

Davis, Secretary of Labor, “No matter who owns the capital, capital works for everybody. The oil companies own the gasoline, but they have to tote it to the roadside where everyone can get it Equal division is the goal that capitalism constantly approaches. No man wants all the gasoline. He wants six gallons at a time with a service station every few miles. Capitalism performs this service for him. Under capitalism’, so-called, wealth is more equally di­ vided than under any other system ever Known.” The so-called “capitalists” who control the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are 46,016 stock­ holders, the majority of them small investors who earned and saved the money to buy stock. This capital, because it is brought together in a large aggregate, is able to serve the commun­ ity more effectively than if it were divided up and parceled out into 46,016 separate holdings. In 1923 this capital brought millions of barrels of crude petroleum from the oil fields, so that dur­ ing 1924 the 4 H million automobiles of the Middle West may be supplied with gasoline and oils. This capital has erected large, modem, scienti­ fically equipped refineries, in which to apply the most efficient cracking processes, so that the maximum amount of gasoline may be produced from the crude oil This capital has built up a distribution system, with storage depots and service stations at strategic points, throughout the Middle West By means of this enormous and complete dis­ tribution system, petroleum products are de-, livered to the ultimate consumer with the utmost economy, and the motorist who needs but one gallon at a time receives as efficient service as the manufacturer who buys thousands of gallons. Without capital the oil would stay in the ground, or at best would serve but a few people adjacent to the oil fields. By serving the thirty million people of the Middle West with petroleum products, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) makes it possible for you, wherever you may live, to enjoy the benefits of the petroleum wealth of the United States. Without the employment of the capital of the stockholders of this Company this would not be possible. Under efficient management of a highly ex­ perienced Board of Directors, the capital of the 46,016 stockholders of this Company is working night and day for the service of the community.

Robert Cook in a very pleasing manner gave a brief sketch of bis life, together with interesting anecdotes connected with the composing of *’Narcissus,” “The End of a Perfect Day,” and “The Ro­ sary.” She then called on Mrs. Was­ te!, who had been acquainted with the Nevin family, to piny two of his piano selections, “ Love's Bong” and “The Tournament.” These were heartily ap­ plauded. The subject for the day, “Home Economics,” was in charge of Mrs. Raymond Clark, who as graduate from this course, teacher and housewife, was well qualified to* present tho subject to the club. In a firm and comprehen­ sive manner she showed the import­ ant place that this subject holds in the curriculum of college* and 'Universi­ ties—from tho slender footing which it held in 1893 to the present time, when in addition to the original cook­ ing nnd sewing are added tho follow­ ing subjects: dietetics, school nursing, textile chemistry, bacteriology, serol ogy, millinery, managing of ten rooms, institution management, visiting house­ keeping, demonstrating for commercial firms, extension work, besides training H. 8. Home Economics teaching. Mrs. Clark called on Miss VanWinkle, teacher of tho subject of household arts, who in no uncertain manner showed the effect, after study and training, pro duced on the character and homes of tho pupils; and in answer to one moth­ er’s query how with four years of I^itin and four year* of literature, etc., n pupil could find time for this sub­ ject. She was positive that with per­ severance it could be done and that even one year of systematic work would accomplish wonders. Rhe also told what garments were made by pupils of seventh and eighth grades as well ns High school pupils, and that aside from their own garments the High school pupils had made eortains for the win­ dows of the dining room of the H. E. department nnd also a luncheon set for the table. Mrs. Clnrk called on Miss Rtuart, teacher of cooking, who responded to the subject “Spring Menus.” After touching lightly on thia subject she explained what line nf work each grade had undertaken, from the boiling of water in proper utensils to preparing and serving a menu for a dinner func­ tion. Rhe also gave an interesting and enlightening talk on foods and their values in meeting the demands of- the human system. Miss Stuart was followed by Miss Ann Burton on the subject “What rela­ tion food and clothing bear to the mental condition of tho child.” The ideas on food eoiwtided with those of Miss Stuart and in an amusing, though very earnest planner, she drew the pier ture of a little tdt, weighed down by three layers of sweaters, overboots, and scarfs, toiling wearily up the steps of. the school hottie, until when inside ho had not strength left to scarcely see, much less to- think. She opened up an excited flisrunsion by the club on the question of the proper amount of clothing for children, (bare knees or no bare knees.)

The report showed st the company had made an increase over last year of over 192,009 and more than 1,850 policies. The gross business for the first twenty-five days of April was 1120,050.92. A splendid dinner was served at twelve o’clock after which a fine pro­ gram was rendered, consisting of music by tho orchestra, violin solos and selec­ tions by a male quartet from Battle Creek. Inspector Parker, head of the auto mobile squad of the Detroit Police De­ partment, was present and gate a very interesting talk showing the growth of his department and gave statistics showing the number of automobiles stolen each year. He said that the thefts are on the increase for 1934. Something over 4,000 automobiles are stolen in Detroit in a single year. He gave some good advice in which he said that every automobile owner should havo a private mark on his ear and should never leave his car anywhere on tho street without locking it as the temptation is great, not only for tho regular automobile thief but also for those who take the car for a joy-ride. He said that he had dealt with the company for many years and that their relations had always boon friendly ns they had always appreciated the co­ operation and that ho considered tho officers of tho company his close per sonal friends. The legal aspect of tho company’s business was discussed by Attorneys L. E. Howlett of Howell, Christian -A. Brock of Muskegon, and Seymour H. Person of Lansing. They compliment­ ed tho officers and agents on the fair manner in which claims had been hand­ led and tho thorough investigations and tho loyalty of the agency force in looking after the company’s business. They said they had always found that a claim was resisted either because it was invalid or because an excessive amount was demanded. Ono of the at­ torneys tried five cases last year in which tho automobile owners insured in the company had been sued for per­ sonal injury claims. In four of these cases tho jury decided that there was no cause for action. Tho fact that only fourteen eases were tried ip Cir­ cuit Court out of 5,493 claims settled in the year 1823 would indicate that the company had been fair and that everything had been satisfactory to the policy holders. The importance of advertising and its relation to the growth of the auto­ mobile insurance business was discussed by R. M. Shaw, who has charge of the advertising department of the Olds Motor Company of Lansing, ffhe dis­ cussion was continued by George Bloeum of ML Clemons, representing tho Michigan Business Farmer, and M. D. Laine of the Michigan Farmer of De troit. A response in behalf of the agent’s viewpoint was given by a number of tho leading agents who expressed their appreciation of tho promptness with which the officers of tho company took care of their business and the claims. Tho fact that the company is now start­ ing its tenth season and has retained its old members and has been able to obtain so many new ones would show that the company is in good standing. In fact, the company added 154,000 to its assets in the first twenty-five days of April The agency force has been selected so that there is a competent agent or adjuster in every city and county seat in lower Michigan. In this way, serv­ ice is brought right home to the policy holder. The fact that claims can be presented to the local agent and that tho officers are ready to give prompt attention either by letter or telephone makes it easy for each policy holder, who has a claim, to obtain prompt at­ tention. After an afternoon spent in discuss­ ing the problems of the company, the agents left Saturday evening, feeling that they had been greatly benefited by the splendid gathering and the closer contact with the main office. Tho Citizens' Mutual Automobile In­ surance Company has had a steady and remarkable growth each year and the service rendered has been of such na­ ture as to increase its business and to add new policy holders Tho prospects now indicate that 1924 will bo its ban­ ner year.—Adv.

The Bankers next state that in- Practical Bankers Wholly Im­ practical In Advice to Farmers PART TWO able asset except when land is sold, which is true. But haw about it be­ ing an increased liability on the tax 'assessment roll? Then, our Banker advisors mention increased taxes and hold the farmer responsible for sneh increase by tell­ ing them that they voted for good roads, school houses and drains, all of which must be paid by taxes. Let’s give thia just a little fair thought. Who drafted these measures 1 Who paid for thousands of feet of newspa­ per space with cleverly written articles which were equal to the best salesman­ ship ever used by the clever stock salesman? Men who understood how to appeal to the selfishness, pride and impulses of the people. The country was alive with speakers delivering orations on how they were going to lift Michigan out of the mud, and very forcefully pointed out that as these roads would be used by the future generations it would be just for them to help pay the bills, and it would be done this way, by issuing long-time bonds. They failed to point out that both this and the next generations, through interest charges, would bo called on to pay not only the initial cost, but interest that would exceed initial cost. So we are inclined to think that others played a very im­ portant part in increased taxes. In the next statement they infer that the farmer is out of his class by Ginting to the fringed top surrey and jht harness used with the farm team a few years ago, which has been changed for the auto—Ford. Of course it is all right for the laboring man with no investment, and after eight hours of work, with no responsi­ bility, to own a car and perfectly na­ tural-that all business and professional men, including bankers, should own and drive, not necessarily a Ford, but in the majority of cases, a real auto. Now wc are not peeved because these men arc financially able to enjoy their autos, but we arc at a loss to know what there is about agriculture that would make it degrading or so far be­ neath other industries that it would be necessary to revert back to the use of old Dobbin and drive in the gutter to save being rua down by our broth­ ers in other walks of life? Our Banker friends last and finally inform us that our purchasing dollar is large and our selling dollar is snail, and that the Michigan Bankers will help equalize these dollars by counsel and advice, bv directing the farmers in better methods of production and encourage cooperative organizations, which may prove a financial as well as an educational aid to the fanner. One would have to read this Bulle­ tin No. 735 from the Michigan Bank­ ers' Association to enjoy the ludicrous and impossible solutions of the agri­ cultural problems presented. It is not quite dear to us what they mean by our purchasing dollar being large. If they moan it will buy a large amount of goods in our domestic mar­ ket, they are mistaken for the same dollar would bay twice as much on the world market, thanks be to tariff and immigration laws, both in goods and labor. The farmer is only asking for equal protection, and just economic conditions to restore his opportunity to buy and sell on an economic equal­ ity with industry and labor. In conclusion I wish to any thnt good business practices such as good seed and proper protection from in­ sects, good method* of cultivation, good live stock properly fed, bred and graded, good produce properly culled, packed and marketed, largely aug­ mented by cooperative marketing arc very necessary to apply to farming and should be cneouraged. But they will not adjust the condition of our having to buy in a protected domestic market and sell our entire output governed by the prico of our surplus sold on a world market in competition with coolie and peasant labor, with a foreign standard of living and a low rate of exchange. Not only do they compete with us on the world market, but they are invading our own domestic market. The Government official re­ con! informs us that 24,000,000 lbs. of butter and 63,000,000 lbs. of cheese were imported in 1923. The increased freight rates have brought Earop* as close to our eastern market a* our mid­ western state*, and a small tariff I* no barrier when wc consider the differ­ ence in the rate of exchange.

However he himself still finds • <r“‘ plenty to do and does it with his ensternary thoroughness, and he is also a rapid worker. Whenever there is a new craft to be built in any branch of the navy, such as a submarine, a submarine chaser, cruiser, battleship or gunboat, tho responsibility for its de­ sign and the complete specifications for it is upon Capt. Rock, and he is right there with the goods. At the present time the most im­ portant part of his work is that of repairing and altering ships that are already in the navy. Of course, they wear out, but it is not a serious matter to make repairs. The most trying part of his work is that of fitting new, upto-date ideas and appliances to old vhseis of a type that would not be con­ structed nowadays. There is constant progress in naval construction. That which seems to be the last word la ship building or equipment of our navy today in two or three yearn may be ob­ solete. These, changes and the alter­ ations of vessels now in the navy, to make *Jum conform to tho last minute equipment for up-to-date service, im­ pose tho hardest work upon Capt. Boek just now. In the Construction and Bcpair Bu­ reau and associated with Capt. Bock, is Commander Lewis Atkins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. 8. Atkins, of this ^L1 city. Capt. Bock speaks in the very highest terms of him and of his work and ability.' He also spoke with fine appreciation of James L. Ackerson, who was a resident of Middleville when he was chosen for an An­ napolis cadetship. He graduated, with honor ami took up naval construction, making a splendid record. His ability as such a worker was recognised by a large private shipbuilding. company who offered him such a salary that ho felt that ho eould not refuse. Capt. Rock said no one could blame Capt. Ackerson in view of what this offer meant to him and to his family. In this connection wo happen to know, although Capt. Rock did not tell us, that he has had several offers to work in some of the private yards, one of them at a salary very much above what he is now receiving or is over likely to receive. But Capt. Bock has always been so in love with his work and with the spirit of the navy that he could never briny himself to the point HASTINGS WOODLAND of accepting rr toymeat in any pri­ vate shipyard. We hear a great deal about the big salaries for service in Uncle Sam’s army and navy; but if people could reafta how much more the gifted men who fill the responsible positions in both branches of the service could get from privato employers they would never complain about their compensation, but would feel that it is far too small and • awaeisae • •• Bale: ought to be increased. One of the com­ plaints made to the writer by CapL Bock was that it was hard to keep up the spirit and the right kind of a per­ sonnel in the navy, because private yards are picking off so many of the best and most useful men at far great­ er pay. Nothing but the wonderful training and the deeply ingrained pa­ triotism that follow a four years’ counts at Annapolis and West Point could retain such men as Capt. Rock and Commander Atkins in the govern­ ment service. People who think that the dollar is uppermost in the minds ef everybody can learn that there is tal­ ent of tho very highest order and pa­ triotism of the finest type that cannot be swayed from loyalty to and service for painting your house by mak­ of our government, and it is receiving ing your own PURE PAINT with far less compensation than would be given for the same work under private employ. Capt. Bock does not know that we are saying this, but we think it is due him and others of tho loyal, good men in the navy and army who and PURE OIL are motivated by the same high ideals as is he. other car makers' in America and Europe include tyourWhed brakes as Standard Equipment J J.

PRESIDENT WORKING FOR WORLD PEACE Queition of Reparation, Pay­ ment Might Be Very Easily Settled Tn a speech delivered before the As­ sociated Proas in the eity of New York President Coolidge one day last week pledged his efforts to bring about world peace and disarmament upon the settlement of Germany's re­ parations payment by the European nations which are interested therein. America has taken a very prominent part in erenting a basis on which repartitions may be settled. It is ad­ mitted that in the near future, by means of the reparations plan framed by the comminalon chosen by Presi­ dent Coolidge, a settlement of that vexed problem is now possible. The allies have accepted the plan perfected by the American experts. Germany has accepted it in principle as a work­ ing basis, and the effort will bo made now to carry out the provisions of that settlement when an agreement shall be arrived at, so that the troublesome issue may soon be out of the way. It ought to" bo possible then to get the nations of Europe and the nations of the world together on a basis of do­ ing away with armies, except as they may be required for internal peace and order and erase to spend the enor­ mous sums that arc now paid by even the bankrupt nations of Europe to equip ' armies, build battleships, sub­ marines, cruisers and air eraft. It is very evident that none of those things would bo wanted except for war, and that if the nations of the world con­ tinue to build them they simply in­ vite war. Instead of mutual distrust and suspicion there ought to bo mu­ tual confidence and good will. We be­ lieve if anyone can bring that condi­ tion to pass it is onr President, and he is a-man of actions rather than of words. THURSDAY.

Gen. Daugherty end urged the President to proceed at once with the prosecution and investi­ gation of the matter they had brought out, the trained men whom President Coolidge could have commanded, would have gone much farther and would have had the whole matter rounded up long before this without any business disturbances. Instead the inveet[ga­ ting committees have neglected the real work of the Senate and have really accomplished Httle except to show that members of both polities! parties have been guilty of wronging the govern­ ment. The effort to make political capital out of it has been a dismal failure, because of the fact that mem­ bers of both parties were brought into the limelight as having harmed the government. The foolish length to which this in­ vestigation has been carried has been shown by the calling to Washington, at public expense, of eonvieted train rob­ bers, murderers, women from the under­ world, crooks and persons who have no other purpose than just to try to hurt somebody if they can. Already on* of the investigators is being investigated himself. Now eomes another nice mean, from Washington. Garton B. Means, whose word no re­ putable man would want to take for anything, has been called repeatedly before the investigating committees and claimed that he had records to prove the truth of his grave charges, is now himself under just the suspic­ ion which a man of his low type^ought to be. When the investigation called for the flics, which ho claimed he had and could produce, ho said that he had delivered them to an agent of the com­ mittee at the written request of the chairman. But the chairman repudiat­ ed the letter and said he never wrote nor signed it. It is just another way of showing that probably Mr. Means know that he did not have the evi­ dence, aad wanted to avoid his promise to bring his files.before the committee. He had been in the employ of the departmeuL of justice, and had been dis­ missed because it is claimed he was shown to be a liar and a erook. But the investigating committees have paraded his ststements as if they were facta Now when he is asked to sub­ stantiate them, M he had agreed to do, the committee find that a ruse has enabled him to avoid showing his files. We believe that, the country is thor­ oughly rick, tired nnd disgusted with the mania for investigation that has seized the cheap-skate eflhators at Washington. Of ’course the aim has boon to make political capital and dis­ credit the PresiiWh. We-believe they havo failed in both their aims. Outten Center. South Hastings, Sunday.

HASTINGS, MICH. A WORLD-FAMOUS SIX AT $1045! April 29, 1874. The cleaning up about the city makes it look flne. Judge Robinson has built a very neat hennery and park for his fowls. If you care for horticulture, spades arc trumps just now. Wheat in this vicinity is reported as looking first rate—much better than for several years past. It would be pleasant to attend a public meeting and see less flirting, laughing, etc., among the respectable young ladies. The Calicp Hop given by the Young Ladies this (Wednesday) evening passed off exceedingly well. Nothing in the least happened to mar the eve­ ning’s entertainment. Everything was in order, the mtxalc excellent, the sup­ per plenty and all that was desirable, the company manncrally, and the dancing good. Probably not financial­ ly a success, but an evening well spent. The reading room, under the aus­ pices of the Young Ladies’ Society, will open Thursday evening, over the store of Barber and Bailey. It will be free to all, and we trust that good reading, plenty of amusements, and the bright and peasant faces of the ladies in charge, jnay make the read­ ing room more attractive to our young men, than any saloon can possibly be.

We are informed that the residence of Foster Bisson, Esq., of Carlton, was entirely destroyed by fire on Monday morning last. Most of the furniture was saved, though in a damaged state. The cause of the fire we did not learn. The lose is probably six to eight hun­ dred dollars, and falls heavily on one of the most enterprising and deserving of the young men of that township. One day last week Mathias Young, left in our office a Light Brahma egg, 7H by inches, that is certainly a curiosity. We are advised that the lot in the cemetery, the property of Hastings Lodge No. 58, L O. O. F., has been fitted up in a manner that reflects great credit on the order, under the supervision of W. T.

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 have grovkn yheat 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. It costs practically as much to run a mill 6 to 10 hours a day as it does J°,.r,u,n^4J??“ra' ,In order to «uPPly ‘he demand for FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR we have to run our big mill DAY AND NIGHT. This cuts our manufacturing costs to a minimum; guarantees the SMOOTHEST and 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.

HEINZELMAN, INDUSTRIAL LEADER, DIES Prea. of Grand Rapids Book­ case Oo., and Prominent in Business Circles The death of Geo. Hcinzolman, of Grand Rapids, Friday morning, was of sad interest to many Hastings people, because of hi* connection with the Grand Rapid* Bookease and Chair Co. of this city of which ho was president nnd his personal friendship with sev­ eral of the Hastings men in the organ­ ization. The factory here shut down Friday and Saturday, and his funeral on Mon­ day was attended by several representtlvec from it. Mr. Heinzclman was al­ ways interested in, Hastings, and n fine room in Pennock hospital was fur­ nished through his generosity. What the Saturday Grand Rapids Herald said editorially concerning him is worthy of reproduction in our col­ umns, .

Thai was true of Mr. George J. Heinzelman, whose untimely death yester­ day was a shock to the Furniture World in which he was a figure of long-time prominence. Sometimes a broad human friendliness—the uplift of good fellowship—is the monument. That, too, is true of this modest but potential citizen. And then sometime* there has been a persistent and effec­ tual social service which leave* the masterkey to the recollections of a life. It will always be impossible to think of Mr. Hcinzelmnn without re­ membering hi* indefatigable zeals and his liberalities—in time and re­ source*— dedicated to the African Methodist Episcopal church of Grand Rapids. To have stretched forth the hand of Christian fellowship to th*M people of different color but of com­ mon faith; tj> have made their need­ ful cause his own; to have helped them to their House of God; to have done this unremittingly may bo a little thing compared with the larger credits which the world habitually recognize*, yet nothing could more eloquently or nobly bespeak the attitudes and pur­ pose* of a useful life. There is a pow­ erful sermon in tho heartful record of the busy business man who turn* aside from large responsibilities to practice Christian brotherhood. It la the message Mr. George J.

College We Could Place You in a Good Paying Position Right Now in the Business World! O. J. ARGUBRIGHT President of the MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE The Business field offers you more and bigger opportunities to get ahead—to earn a big income—than all the trades and profesaions combined. Young people in Business with less than five years’ experi­ ence often earn more than college professors, lawyers, doctors, teach­ ers and skilled tradesmen with 20 years’ experience. And five years in business is just a start. It is in Business where men and women quickly rise to high salaried executive positions. It is in Business where great fortunes are made. It is in Business where men and women rise to power, influence and fame. Business is the one field of endeavor which is not over-crowded. Business is bigger—much bigger— than any one trade or profession. Business is a game of wits, of highly de­ veloped brains. Business is one of the most democratic fields in the world. Business is cold-blooded, but Business is fair. If you are a pro­ ducer, this is all Business wants to know, but Business demands a trained mind. Business demands efficiency in your accomplishments. For More Than 40 Years We Have Been Unable to Fill the Demands for Our Graduates—Many of the Biggest and Most Prosperous Business and Manufacturing Concerns in Michigan Call for Our Graduates— The'Reason They Want Them Is Because TheylAre Trashed to Meet the Needs of Big Business ! In Michigan Business and Normal College young men and young women get individual, personal instruc­ tion by the best trained instructors the Business World has ever produced—instructors who are thorough and efficient to the smallest detail, or in propounding and solving the most difficult business problems—instruc­ tors, a large portion of whose lives have been spent in actual conduct with Business. There is no question concerning your ability to fill a position of responsibility, with an income that will be pleasing and profitable, if you attend Michigan Business and Normal College with a determination to get on in the world. Our graduates are being taken for opportunity positions just as rapidly as we can pro­ duce them, at better beginning salaries and where they are rapidly promoted to executive positions with year­ ly salaries oftentimes reaching to five figures. Do not dub along in the rut. Show some Ameri­ can pep and speed—plan today to make something of yourself so that in your declining years you may look back upon a life Well spent and a future of independ­ ence rather than of dependence. There is no time like the present.

The atory has its origin In an early Christian legend of the Middle Ages, which has been used frequently by writora and dramatists before In other forms. Maeterlinck’s “Sister Bea­ trice,’ Keller’s story of “The Virgin and the Nun,” and by several poets namely, John Davidson’s “A Ballad of a Nun,” whose version is large­ ly taken es the basis for the action in “The Miracle.” The important role of the nun, Megildis, in “The Miracle” is taken by Rosamonde Pinchot, a lovely, graceful girl of high breeding and intelligence, a niece of Governor Pinchot of Penn­ sylvania, who had never before boon on the stage. The atory is told that she was returning to America on a steam­ er, on which Reinhardt, the author of the play, was a passenger, sad ho see­ ing her face in proflie one day, was struck with its reaembianoe to his conceptioa of that required for the nun in his forth-coming production, and ultimately she was east for the char­ acter. Anyway she has done most note­ worthy work in the part. The story begins in a way when Megildis, in bridal dress, bids farewell to her mother and grandmother, an sumes the nun's garb and is invested with the office of Sacristan. The heal­ ing of a laraO piper also furnishes much of the dramatie action, he really being Satan or Temptation incarnate. Thru a false impression, the aged Abbess misconstrues certain actions of the young nun, Lakes her robes of office from her and leaves her to pray all night at the foot of the Virgin statue. After this the legend, which is more or less familiar, runs a rapid course. The facts as they come down to us from the clergy and nnnale of the far away time, in which it is supposed to happen, is that a famous miraculous image of the Virgin disappeared for seven years, then suddenly appeared in the accus­ tomed place, the young Sacriktan Megildis, whose place she really took dur­ ing that period, having returned nnd was found unconacioee st her feet, seek­ ing penitence and pardon after'seven years of fruitless, unsatisfactory wan­ dering after worldly pleasure. Very varied and colorful are the scenes depicting the wanderings of the nun during her seven yearn-of absence. Castle, forest, wedding and coronation ceremonies, banquet ting and rioting, war, sin and death make up the history. For these acenes the altar disappears as in a cloud, while act pieces on black felt take its place unseen. Much discussion has been waged over the symbolism of the many characters, and over the play itself. Whether it is a dream or u reality.

PHONE 2110 HASTINGS Gasoline Prices Lowest T AFTER extensive analysis of government statistics. The Oil&Gas Journal, of March X*. 20,1924, says: “Gasoline is and has been the lowest priced commodity generally used during the past eleven yean, and its average cost during that period has been always lower than the average price of all commodities.” Taking 1913 price level as 100, the January, 1924, price level of all commodities is 151—while the price of gasoline is only 97. Thus it is shown that in January, 1924, the dol­ lar would actually buy more gasoline than it would in 1913. The statement of the Oil & Gas Journal bears out the statements oft repeated by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) that the price of gasoline is low. That the petrotevi industry has been able to keep down the price of gasoline is an achieve­ ment worthy of note. It demonstrates the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and other similar insti­ tutions. This result has been accomplished without in any way sacrificing quality of product, nor has it been accompanied by any decrease of service. For example, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is constantly expanding its vast net-work of serv­ ice stations, located, necessarily, on high-priced property in order to be accessible to the mam arteries of travel These stations are open for service, days, evenings, Sundays and holidays. In addition, huge sums of money have been ex­ pended by this Company for other equipment­ bulk storage depots, pumps, tank wagons, and other items necessary to render a complete and comprehensive service-yet with all these large expenditures the price level of gasoline in 1924 was lower than in 1913. All of which is in support of the ideals animat­ ing the Management of this Company—a com­ bination of high quality, best service, and low prices.

No detail has been too slight for our atten­ tion. We confidently submit these garments for your approval The result of the primary election in the state of California was indeed a surprise, as Preaident Coolidge was riven a majority of well toward 50,000 over Hiram Johnson, United States Senator from that state, and tho only candidate against Mr. Coolidge. As Senator Johnson had never failod to carry the state of California in any primary or election contest sinee he was first chosen governor many years ago, this result was a startling surprise. It effectually puts a ouietus upon not only Johnson’s presidential aspirations but probably also upon any future political career for him. In oth­ er words, he is out of it. Having de­ nounced President Coolidge so strenu­ ously in his own state and elsewhere, he is not in a position now to get back Into line even if he wanted to and his attitude toward President Coolidge is not a matter of very much conse­ quence, now that he has been so thor­ oughly discredited in his own state. Except in the single state of South Dakota, where Mr. Coolidge lacked but a very little of having a majority over Johnson, the President has carried ev­ ery state where a presdentlal primary election has been held. The close vote in the Dakotas was due to the severe slump In the single staple product of those states, which Is wheat. Leaving out the Dakotas, the vic­ tory for Coolidge has been overwhelm­ ing. In most of the states, the vote for him has been all tho way from throe to one to ton to twenty to one. Under tho eircumstancee, we think it is demonstrated the country wants Mr. Coolidge and wants Congress to understand that they have commission­ ed him as the representative of the people to look after their interests and that he is the leader of his party and has a mandate, fresh from them, to ac­ complish the things which he has put up to the people, viz:—lowering of taxation, reduction of government ex­ penses, aid to the farmers, cultivation of foreign markets, and the preserva­ tion of constitutional liberty in this country with emphasis upon American ideals of government. If Congress cannot see the handwrit­ ing on tho wall, in our judgment, they will be given some very legible infor­ mation that the American people want Calvin Coolidge; that they believe in him. believe hi the principles which he advocates, and have little patienee with the Congress that is making scandal mongriag its chief business nor with their neglect of tho important legislative issues to which they are sup­ posed to give their attention. 8 HOUR Battery Charging Savea 2 days' Rental Charge.

The selfgovernment council considered it was no longer necessary and the teacher put it away. * The boys do practically all of the work at tho Commonwealth. They raise most of the food in the many acres of grounds, doing the ploughing, seed­ ing, cultivating, harvesting, themselves. This work is supervised by Robert Burns, one of the original seven boys, who- after 4 4 graduating4 * from the Com­ monwealth, attended tho Michigan Ag­ ricultural college to gain the latest ideas to be put into practice on tho school farm. an ordinary day the boys rise at six or six-thirty. No set time is stip­ ulated. In fact, the whole idea is to get away from the irksome prison rou­ tine prevalent in many such places. They get their breakfast and then do their usual morning tasks, such as work­ ing in the gardens, cleaning their rooms, washing and wiping the dishes. At 9:30 school begins, and continues until 4, with an hour and a half out for luncheon at noon. From 4 to dinner hour the time is variously employed. The boys may swim or skate, accord­ ing to the season, fish, play games or work at various hobbifis of their own. And every effort is made to have each youngster develop a special hobby.

That same boy was bound for the state industrial school when Mr. Starr took him in and when ho left the Commonwealth the lad’s parents, who were poor people, offered Mr. Starr five years of service of any kind that he desired them to do.

A 1 �THE HASTINGS BANNER “The greatest secret of success in life is to^be ready when opportunity comes RWhen 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 accumulating sur­ plus 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. v 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. - Faithfulness of our trust to the public has been one of the secrets of our success. The first consider­ ation of the manage­ ment of this bank is the safety of our deposit­ ors’ money. Upon the above basis we invite your account—3 per cent interest allowed. Hastings National Bank The Only National Bank in Barry County HON. W. W.POTTEB WAS THE CHIRMAN (Continued from page one.) out that after the Armistice, the Jeffer­ sonian simplicity of a democratic Pres­ ident was evidenced by securing the great liner, “George Washington," to carry him and his staff to France; hired the Bihmoro orchestra to play while the Jeffersonians ate their meals, another to play while the party prome­ naded the deck. Another giant steam­ ship carried limousines and excess bag­ gage. In Paris the entire Hotel Crib party, at a rental of $600,000, while $250,000 more was spent for beverages and breakage—all paid by our gov­ ernment—in order to ao impresn the diplomats of Europe as to insure that ffii world would be made “safe for Skxt he described how England and her colonies, France, Italy end Japan wore there, and grabbed off territory and indemnities from Germany, while America asked nothing and got it. The climax of folly was the agreement that the United States would surrender her sovereignty to a super-state, and become hopelessly embroiled in Europe's quar­ rels. He insisted that every American should resent this attempt to sell our birthright for a mess of nauseating European pottage that could bring us absolutely no credit and no compensat­ ing benefits but would insure calami­ ties without number. In contrast with the proposed League of Nations Mr. Potter pointed out how the Disarmament Conference, called by President Harding, without funs and feathers, and in true simplicity, had, in the American way, reached an agree­ ment with Japan, England, France, Italy and Belgium that had fixed limits for their navies and insured peace on th* Pacific. The same treaty defined tho right of search, prohibited the use of submarines as commerce destroyers, aloes the use of poison gases in warfare, and -declared the principles settled by the treaties agreed on at that confer­ ence as the established principles of in­ ternational law. The tense issue with Japan aver cable landing on Tap is­ land was amicably settled; all the pow­ ers agreed to respect the territorial eov- tung to China. A eommianioa of emi- of treaties brought about the abroga­ tion of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, whieh was ao distasteful to America as well as to Canada and Australia. Judicial Protection of Liberty. We wish we could give entire what our land. This necessarily implies a judiciary to determine whether enact­ ments of congress, or state laws, con­ flict with this fundamental law, tho American constitution. Thus are the rights of the humblest citizen protect­ ed. Thus are the people of this coun­ try, citizens, not subjects. He asked: “Are we to destroy constitutional gov­ ernment, permit congress to invade the sphere of individual liberty and con­ stitutional rights, acknowledge that ina­ bility to govern ourselves, and con­ demn the fundamental basis of Ameri­ can governments Are we ready for the doctrine that congress is omnipotent, and that the rights of the people exist onljr by their sufferance f Tho constit­ ution is no more if it can be overrid­ den by congress.” Mr. Potter called attention to the fact, that, under republican rule, we are having co-operation instead of dic­ tation, independence instead of isola­ tion. We nave our government cmgoyes greatly reduced in number, have rgely decreased the public debt, ktrengtheued public credit, stimulated industry, absorbed tho surplus labor, and regulated and largely reduced pub­ lic expenditures by the adoption of the budget system. Mr. Potter stated that official crooked­ ness and incompetence ought not to be condoned in or by either party. The republican party must and will dean house. But when democrats are criti­ cising republicans, he said, they should remember that the oil scandal involved as many democrats as republicans. Neither should they forget that under the Wilson administration, he said, that we spent $150,000,000 on port termi­ nals that were never used, $120,000,000 to build nitrate plants that never pro­ duced a pound of nitrates, $150,000,000 for powder plants that never made a pound of powder, $100,000,000 for tanks that never reached France, $1,000,000,000 for airships and another $1,000,000,000 for shells and not one of either ever reached France; $478,000,000 for cannon and only 72 got across the wa­ ter. Then we bought 391,000 horses and mules and bought 1,148,000 horse cov­ ers, 1,000,000 sets of harness, 2,850,000 halters for the 301,000 horses and mules. To brand these 301,000 horses and mules, we bought 105,000 copper branding irons at 30ft cents a pound, and sold them back to their makers at 11% cents a pound. Under Wilson we bought 045,000 saddles for 80,145 cav­ alry horses. We bought 41,000,000 pairs of shoes for 3,500,000 soldiers, also 149,456,611 bread cans, or 42 for every man in service. We paid over $4,000,000,000 for ships that had no part in winning the war. We loaned $11,000,000,000 to foreign nations without evi­ dence of their indebtedness to ua, and we bought 712^10 complete seta of spur straps or 36 sets for every American military officer. After the armistice was signed, the Wilson government bought and paid for 70,130 new auto­ mobiles, for the alleged use of our Phone 2217 Hastings, Michigan for more than a year.

We give verbatim the concluding por­ tion of Mr. Potter’s address, in which he so ably discussed: The Struggle for Economic Supremacy. Nearly a decade has elapsed since the opening of the World war, and more than five years since the signing of th© Armistice. Russia has protected herself from foreign aggression and from dismemberment from internal rev­ olution. Italy and England have estab­ lished diplomatic relations with her. Germany has repudiated her domestic debt by paying it in paper marks whieh became practically worthless, and has gone to a gold mark basis. Austria is on her feet industrially. France is in possession of the great iron deposits of Lorraine. England has remained stable although economically depressed. We have shown sufficient intelligence to continue 'to protect our markets, our labor, our industries and our civiliza­ tion from inundation by foreign goods and foreign immigrants, and os a result have been a dominant factor in the mar­ kets of the world. But with the rchibilitation of European industries,thc ques­ tion is, must we surrender our foreign markets, or can wc successfully meet in economic conflict tho manufacturers and the commerce of the old world 1 To do it, we must reduce our national, state and municipal expenditures to the lowest point consistent with economic efficiency, by the elimination of waste maintain and extend the scope of our educational facilities, that high intel­ ligence shall bo the rule and not the ex­ ception; practice rigid economy, and eliminate the dissipation of energy in useless and non-essential waste, becausd; after all, there is much, nothwithstanding Mr. Bryan, in the survival of the fittest. The French, more than two hundred years ago recognised that the straits connecting Lake Erie and Lake Huron, were the strategic part of our great in­ land seas; and now, after the lapse of centuries, the people of this state, in common with the people of all our coun­ try, recognise that here is arising the commercial metropolis of the western continent. No other region is capable of produc­ ing more food than the north-central states,—the valley of the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence. No other state has more inexhaustible mines of iron, better and cheaper water transporta­ tion or greater possibilities for the de­ velopment and extension of water transportation to tho gulf by way of the Mississippi of to the Atlantic by way of the .Bt. Lawrence, or the en­ largement of the Erie canal. Here may be stopped the iron ore from the world's greatest mines; tho wheat from the world's greatest granary; the corn from the world’s greatest corn belt; tho pork and the cattle from the ccn(Continued on page 10) Since A ■/ the introduction uT of it’s 1924 models/ Buick has broken J all production records 4 including' it’s own. \ for the manufacture , cars J.

HARDWARE COMPANY �A Message to Dairy Farmers and Those Who Should Become Dairy Farmers Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, Classes DAIRYING as The Balance Wheel of Industry The feeding of a million and a quarter of undernourished children in Europe by the Amer­ ican Relief Administration demonstrated there is no substitute for milk and that it will always be a staple article of food. If you are discouraged over the prospects for grain raising and the results to be obtained in that line, remember that • Dairying Presents Certain and Sure Returns for Your Efforts Remember also that there is nothing you can raise on the farm which will take less fertility from soil than dairying. This has been tested and proven by competent authority. Isn’t It Handy to Have a Fat Pay Check Coming on the 15th of Each Month? These checks tide over many a lean period and keep things going. The soil in this terri­ tory is just right for the raising and keeping of good dairy herds at a profit. All the essen­ tials which Nature can provide for success in dairying arc here. Why not take advantage of them and be enrolled on our list? You have the opportunity of vastly increasing the value of your land by taking up dairying. , This company is here to serve you and to aid in getting you started in this great industry which will double the value of your land and add to the general prosperity of this region. A farmer recently sold his land in Illinois for $400 per acre and invested at $100 per acre in a farm not far from here.

BANNER WANT AM PAT Do You Buy Lubrication or Merely Oil? When you buy Polarine you get, in addition to a few quarts of oil, the vast lubricating experience of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)—you get the benefit of the accumulated scientific knowledge—both chemical and merhanical—which this experience has gathered. You get the net- reeufc-of hundreds of laboratory and road tests.

Compare it for beauty, comfort, roominess, upholstery, for obvious refinements. Compare it, too, for ease of handling, flexi­ bility, power, quietness and lack of vibration. Don’t take anyone’s word that this car or that car at its price is "just as good.” Find out for yourself. You reduce carbon to a minimum—you lengthen the life of your engine and bearings—you minimize repair bills—road annoyance—laid-up car—and lost time. All this you get when you purchase a gallon of Polarine—well worth-while, isn’t it? Hundreds of thousands of motorists in the Middle West have proved that using Polarine is sound busi­ ness. They are foflowing the chart at the left. Your car, also, is there. Stop at the next Standard Oil Service Station or at any Garage or Authorized Filling Station showing * the Polarine sign; tell the attendant to fill up your crankcase with the right grade of Polarine. Studebaker will place a Light-Six at your disposal for this purpose any time you name. Then, drain your crankcase every five hundred miles and refill with the right grade ofPolarine. Being the world's largest producer of quality automobiles, Studebaker is thus in a position to give the utmost for the least Put lubrication on a business basis—it pays.

OUR PRIMARY SYSTEM? Last week’s letter. And Get Up Something That Is Workable, Bather Than Con­ tinue the Present Faroe The primary law of Michigan needs some very radical changes to make it fit present day needs. Everyone ap­ preciates the defects in the system, but the members of the state legislature seem to lack the courage to make any change in the law. Our forefathers recognised that one of the fundamentals of democracy was the “town meeting,” where people could get together, talk things over, and, if necessary, draft men of special talent to look after the affairs of tho town, county, state or nation. This idea was followed by a century or so, and at first was an ideal solution. It would be today IF everyone would ful­ fill the requirements of good citizenship and vote, and IF everyone was square and honest. But the great increase in population and wealth brought about conditions that led to the Australian ballot and later to the primary system of voting. As nt present operated, there is no question but what tho old “town meet­ ing” plan or the “caucus and conven­ tion system,” is preferable to the present rotten, inefficient primary law that we now have, and would bring us better and more efficient candidates, generally speaking, and for a lot loss expense. Whatever defects the cau­ cus and convention system had could be easily remedied. Tho best men in either party will not go through a long and expensive cam­ paign to get a nomination at a primary, and another grilling and expensive cam­ paign to secure au election. The result is that the field is too often left open for a lot of wind-jammers and blather­ skites who have never made a sueceu of anything, whose flrat consideration ia to get an office, and whose last con­ sideration ia the good of the country. We are indeed pleased that Barry County republicans, along with repub­ licans in several other Michigan coun­ ties, had norve enough to advocate the repeal of the present primary law. It *1 a farce. Our school closed Saturday with a picnic. A ball game and other games were tho amusements for the afternoon. The children as well as tho parents seemed to enjoy the day. Mr. nnd Mra.

Mbs Lillie Hammond of Ann Arbor is spending a few days with Mr. and Mrs. CkM. Becker and family. Frank Kennedy is on tho *ick list. At n recent meeting of tho Barry County Y. M. C. A. committee, Dean Eugene Davenport of Woodland gave a very interesting talk on “Working With Boys.” Because It was so sane and so helpful wo asked Dean Daven­ port to write out for us tho gist of his remarks at that meeting, and to give us permission to publish tho same. He graciously complied nnd we give it below, ns follow*: I am very glad to learn of the Y. M. C. A. work with the Barry County boys. I have known boys of college age pretty intimately for nearly half a cen­ tury and have learned some things about them that do not lie upon the surface. First, with all bis seeming indiffer­ ence. the normal boy is thoughtful, even worried about all the deeper thing* of life. He -is trving to solve everything himself—ineluding what was known to men thousands of year* ago and what ennnot be solved at present if ever by the fertile mind of man. What he needs is an older man, not so much as an advisor as a counselor, to help him do his own thinking and to save him a lot of time and trouble by sorting out of this mental and moral junk shop those thing* that have already been settled and on which we ean well trust the writing* of the fa­ thers as found in the Bible and all best literature, and separating these from those other issues that the indivi­ dual must think out and settle for him­ self. The adolescent boy is secretive, oftkn solitary. To him all men over thirty five are “old” and he does not distinguish between tho different ages. Iflhey are ahead of his set they are “ofa”, “awful old” as one said of his brother who was forty-five. All his problems are hard problems; indeed he carries about with him a special, choice nnd well assorted lot of perfectly impossible problems that no ma* would undertake to carry. A mercifal Providense has helped us old­ sters t forget most of them before we attaine I year* of responsibility else wo never oiild have done very much of the nejdful work of the world. Bueh boys qeally crave companionship of older, ven “old” men, but they are timid raxiut it and the oldster most be fully *|rnpathctie if he is to help the This boy craves a bit of adventure now and then, anyhow variety. A very little at the right time will satisfy—an occasional eircus, a pony that is his own, a camp in the woods once in a while or any well developed athletic exercise. In the old days before men -took in­ terest in boys except to feed them, the country nnd city were made at times almost intolerable, especially about schools and colleges by boys’ pranks. “Bad boys” they wore but they often turned out good men. Now, wherever organized athletics have been developed in connection with schools and colleges, pranks have dis­ appeared and in proportion as these same methods have been carried iflto the playgrounds of the eities and wto the open country, rowdyism has disap­ peared. It is for all these reason* that I am glad beyond word* for the excellent work of Mr. Angell and the board back of him with and for the boys of Barry County. Tho foreign missionary has difficulty § reaching the leading people, indeed it commonly impossible to do so for social and political reasons. But the boy* of the best are eager for the train­ ing that is given by the Y. M. C. A. and with the training go the essential* of Christian ideals and living. In this way it is a powerful foreign as well as domestic Christianixer. —E. Davenport. Furnish Your Home Now!

Phone 2217 Hasting*, Michigan service to the fanners of the United States. It would give more service and be more useful if more of the farmers of the country would get and keep in touch with it, and ask for and obtain the special bulletins issued by the department with the latest informa­ tion as to production and marketing at all kinds of crops. Its investigations relate to every branch of the fanning industry, and it has special knowledge, gained by trained experts, to give to the growers of any kind of farm crop. All this is embodied in the form of bulletins, which can be obtained from our congressman or the senators. The wonderful work which this de­ partment is doing in fighting insect peats demonstrates the wisdom of hav­ ing it on the job. Farming is really the greatest business of this country, and there is no reason why it should not be recognized as it is by the crea­ tion of the Department of Agriculture. It is fine to know that the prospects are that this great department will, under the provisions of the Keteham Bill, in all probability have funds reg­ ularly appropriated hereafter for the carrying on of the foreign work under the direction of Mr. Michael. What the Agricultural Department has done and is doing in the way of bringing new fruits, vegetables and grains xo this country to be grown here is little' understood, but it ha* been remarkable. It has sent its in­ vestigators into every nation under the sun for the purpose of getting plants, vegetables and fruits that, may be adapted for growth in this country. An illustration of what this depart­ ment does in its painstaking care and follow-up work for the benefit of Amer­ icans who grow products from the soil is very well shown in the growth of date palms in southern California and Arizona. Formerly dates were shipped here from the eastern Mediterranean countries and from northern Africa. It waa believed that the climate of southern California and also of Ari­ zona, where irrigation was possible, was -especially adapted for the growth of the date palm. Accordingly sev­ eral small specimens of that palm were brought to thia country and planted in California first. They grew wonder­ fully, showing that the elimatie and soil conditions were ideal, and in due time they blossomed, but for some rea­ son no fruit grew on these first palms. That was a poser. When it was report­ ed to the Agricultural Department, they sent their experts to California to study the conditions of growth and to (Continued on page 10) READY TO DO CHIL­ DREN’S WELFARE WORK.

EQUITABLE, JUST WAY "An instance where soy beans are Placee the Tax Burden Upon Those Who Have the In­ come! to Pay It »ve rnuuui ------------------- » - the farmers of this state and the labor ing men who live in cities and own lit­ tle homes of their own with reference to the proposition of having the ex­ penses of the state government paid by levying a state income tax instead of putting all the burden upon real estate. At the present time taxes on real estate vary from 3% per eent to 5 per cent in the state of Michigan. In oth­ er words the tax on every aere of Ian<i of a good farm is ns much as it eould have been rented for a few years ago, and is more than the profit derived from the farms. This is altogether unfair. There is no reason why real estate should bear any such burden. The state of Michigan ought to levy a small tax upon in­ comes, one that would not only meet all the expenses of our state and its institutions, but would enable the state of Michigan to finance the maintenance of public schools, which is at present a heavy tax burden in Michigan. In unr judgment the state of Michigan ought to absolutely take over the control of the public schools, as well as to fix the wages and the qualifications of teachers. Our public schools should be liberally maintained os they could be if the state wore privileged to levy a tax upon the ii.comes of the people of Michigan. People little rcaiiM how much even a small in’ome tax would produce. Out­ side of the very, very few who pay big surtaxes on incomes, the present U. S. government income tax is not burdc-nxornc. The great majority of the people with large sums of money to in­ vest get rid of the heavy surtaxes by investing their money in tax exempt securities. As the southern democrats in congress seem to be able to muster strength to defeat any law to prohibit the issue of such tax exempt securities, there probably is no way of preventing the very wealthy, who would otherwise be subject to heavy surtaxes, from es­ caping those provisions of the income lax law which reqorre heavy surtaxes. Ax lor instance, those on incomes of from 1100,000 to $5(K,000 or more. All that would be necessary for a state income tax would be n compara­ tively small percentage levied upon all incomes of 12,000 or more above govern­ ment exemptions. The federal income tax yields a total of over 1187,000,000 in this state. If there were any way to Teach the tax exempt securities, un­ questionably it would be 1250,000,000, but that is impossible. Our state tax is less than 120,000,000. There are two revenue districts in this state. What is known as the fourth district covers the entire western half of the state and the northern peninsula. In that district the income tax yields <12,453,814. What is known as the first district, which comprises the eastern half of the state, and of course includes the city of Detroit as well u the'eitiee of Saginaw, Flint, Lansing and Jackson, yields an income tax of $175,142,483. ’ A study of the figures given above will show where the majority of the state income tax would be paid. There is no question about tho justice of the eastern section of Michigan and Detroit having to pay it because they have the incomes that would enable them to pay it, or they wouldn't be taxed. Everyone who knows fanning condi­ tions understands that, with rare ex­ ceptions here and there, farm property has been unprofitable since deflation was undertaken early in 1920. Of course, farmers were not the only ones who were hit by the sudden drop in prices, but they were hardest hit with­ out any kind of question. It seems un­ fair, therefore, that rqal estate should be made to bear the heavily increased burden of taxation. The load ought to bo proportioned upon those who are best able to bear it. Unquestionably an income tax is the fairest way of dis­ tributing that burden. Under those conditions, it seems hard to understand why the farmers of this state have been so apathetic with re­ gard to a state income tax, nor why, when they had the chance not long •go to vote to make it a part of the state's taxation policy, that they did not rally to its support. They certain­ ly did not. Only in scattering districts in the rural sections of Michigan was any interest shown in it whatever. Had the farmers of this state voted for it then as they should, unquestionably it would have carried by a big majority. As it was, the selfish interests in Wayne county, who had most to gain by its defeat, succeeded in rolling up enough of a majority in that county to easily overcome the small lead which the in­ come tax had in the rural counties. We hope this matter will "be submit­ ted again, and that when it does, fann­ ers will show a far different attitude towards it. one of the best crops the fanner can plant,” »«y« H. C.

The Planter of Many Purposes It is like discussing the merits of a trusted friend to get experienced corn growers talking about McCormfck-Deering (International) Coni Planters. The accuracy with which they drop 2, 3 or 4 kernels to the hill, as desired, is only one of their commending features. The planter can be quickly adjusted to keep the boots level so that hills are evenly checked for cross cultivation. It can be used as a straight drill simply by pressing down a small foot pedal, or it can be set to drop full hills without the use of a check wire, by the addition of a sim­ ple power drop attachment p < No matter what kind of seed you want to plant there is a McCormick-Deering that will do it the best way. For instance, the McCormick-Deering No. 2 has been designed for the man who plants a vari­ ety of crops. Its range of widths and hill distances makes No. 2 especially valuable to the truck farm­ er. There are other styles, suited to various plant­ ing purposes, all giving unvarying satisfaction. With McCormick-Deering corn planters goes a quick, responsive service equal to any emergency. We will gladly explain fully the different McCor­ mick-Deering com planters and the uses to which they are especially adapted. Come in and see us. Edmonds Elevator & Implement Co. CAREY U.

SPECIAL-SIX I17SO 1035 GOODYEAR BROS. HARDWARE CO AKER LIGHT-SIX . $1045 We confess we cannot understand the psychology of the democratic jnembere of the United State* Senate and House of Representatives! They claim they desire to eompel the rich man, with a big income, to pay ■ larger percentage on hi* largo income than does tho ordinary person on a smaller income. Yet these same democratic members of congress have, by their reeent action in congress, made it per­ fectly easy for the rich man to escape paying any tax on his largo income at the high surtax rates, while the citizen with the smaller income cannot possi­ bly evade paying tax on hi* income. Just ns an illustration: Senator Cousens, of Detroit, was paid, it is said, over $30,000,000 eash by Henry Ford for hi* stock in the Ford Motor Co. Had ho invested hi* money in income­ producing real estate, he would have been subject to the income tax, with the surtax of 50 per cent, if his income were $500,000 or more, as his certainly is. Had be invested in mortgages bear­ ing 0 per cent or 7 per cent interest, or stock* or ordinary bonds producing an income of 6 per cent or 8 per cent, it ean be seen that tho 50 per cent tax would cut the income from such mort­ gages, stocks or ordinary bond* square­ ly in two, so that from 3 per eent to 4 per eent would represent the Sena­ tor's actual net income had he invested his $30,000,000 in such securities. Do you think your Uncle Jsmes Couzen* fell for a thing like thatf Not he; nor would any one else if he could avoid it. .He did avoid it, by investing his cash in U. 8. bonds, bearing 4 per cent to 4M per cent, when they eould be pick­ ed up below par. He also bought state bonds bearing 5 per cent, ana Detroit bonds bearing 5 per cent. AU these are tax exempt; so your Unde James draws an average of probably 4 14 per cent, and pays no surtax. In other words ho gets better security and a higher net return by putting his mil­ lions in tax exempt bonds. Now there are probably $50,000,000,000 United States, state and municipal bonds in ex­ istence that are tax exempt. The multimillionaires of the country ean and do easily evade surtaxes, therefore, by in­ vesting in tax exempts, and can snap their fingers in the faces of Uncle Sam’s income tax collectors, and escape tax free, and get a higher net return than they eould by investing in stocks, mortgage* or other non-cxempt securi­ ties. The result of all this Is tnat railroads cannot sell their bonds; their 6 per cent stock* arc way below par; gilt edge dividend paying industrial eorxurationa, whose dividend-arete is a* righ a* 8 per cent, can find few buyers for their stock* or bond* from men whose income* would oblige them to >ay from 35 to- 50 per cent surtaxes, ’he multi-millionaire can get a higher net income by buying tax exempt*. Anyone can see that with cities, coun­ ties, state and nation issuing tax ex­ empt securities, they invite the very wealthy to withdraw their money from iroduetive industrial enterprises, where t would help the whole country, and invest their money in tax-exempts. When the republicans in congress wished to take steps which would force the money of multi-millionaires out of tax-exempt securities and divert it into would thereafter prohibit the issuing of tax-exempt securities in this coun­ try. Buch an amendment must first have the affirmative vote of two-third* of both branchea of congress. When it was put to vote, every southern democrat, end many from the north also, voted against the proposition because, a* they said, it interfered with state’s rights! Having refused to deprive multi-mil­ lionaire* of the privilege of investing in tax-exempts and thereby open the way for investment* in active enter­ prises, the chance was given these same democrat* to accomplish the same pur­ pose in another way. If congress would pass a law that would make it more profitable for the multi-millionaire to nvest his money in property or reeuritlea whose interest or dividends are not exempt from the income tax than it would be to put it into tax-exempts, and at the same time get far larger government returns from income taxes than it ever has, that would seem tho sensible course, after the democrat* in congress had defeated the measure to prohibit the issue of any more tax-ex­ empts. Precisely this wa* offered to the democrats in congress by the Mel­ lon bill. But they have unanimously opposed the Mellon bill, which would have reduced surtaxes to 15 per eeat; so that stocks, mortgages and non-tax­ exempt bonds would then yield a larg­ er net profit than tax-exempt bond*. The inevitable result would then have been that billions of money now in­ vested in tax-exempt* would get busy starting new factories, or financing those already in exist ease, which would make for prosperity. Money that is put into tax exempts is simply aa in­ vestment and does not promote the in­ dustrial growth of th* country, but hinders it. Th* democrats defeated the Mellon bill, and stand for a 40 per cent surtax which will continue to drive the fund* of the very wealthy into taxexempt securities! Now could anything ba more 11 sistent than for the democrats ia of taxsurtaxes win drive any income tax .

Over­ night, it seems, buildings rise— new streets appear. And the thousands of new homes and great buildings in­ crease the problems of the public service companies. This Company attempts to fore­ see the great growth of service demand and extends its plant in­ to new districts as rapidly as pos­ sible, in an effort to most efficient­ ly serve the people of Michigan. However, sudden unforeseen popula­ tion and industrial growth frequently make it impossible to furnish utility service at all points immediately upon demand. Hundreds of new telephones are wanted. The Telephone Company’s prob­ lem is the same as that of the water, sewer, gas, electric, street, and school services. But Telephone Plant expansion is breaking all records. Thousands of new instruments are being installed, miles of newcircuits are being built and additional exchange facilities are being provided, to meet the call for service. Everything possible is being done to provide service for all who desire it. Michigan Bell Telephone Co. At last there aoems to be a clearing of the ways for an automobile tax in thia state. The knockers and kiekera of Wayne county, principally the offi­ cers of the Detroit Automobile Club, may take due and timely notice and govern theaualvM accordingly. A gas oline tax is to come in this atate aa a part of ita highway program. The aelflah interests that have heretofore suc­ cessfully oppooed it have been crowded off the track, and the gns tax proposi­ tion will noon come into ita own. At the Republican State Convention a resolution waa presented in the Committee on Resolutions by P. T. Colgrove, of thia city, pledging the re­ publican party to put a gasoline tax upon the statute books of Michigan. The Wayne county representative fought it in committee but waa ao overwhelmingly buried by the commit tee on resolutions that Wayne never peeped when the resolutions came be fore the convention for action. When this plank of the platform was read it created the moat hearty and enthusiastic applause of anything that was brought before the convention in the entire body of resolutions. The governor of the state sat on the plat­ form and had no difficulty in reading the mind of the rank and file of the people of this state; for we are sure that the democrats of Michigan are just as much in favor of a gasoline tax as are the republicans. Without any kind of question, a gasoline tax law will be enacted by the next legislature, with the same en­ thusiastic approval as marked ita adoption by the convention. Even Wayne county did not lisp an objec­ tion against it in the convention be­ cause its delegates realized the utter futility of further opposition. Had they brought it to a vote they knew that many in their own delegation would have approved it, and practical­ ly all the delegates in tbe convention, outside of Wayne, were enthusiastical­ ly for it. A two-eent gasoline tax will bring in a revenue of around 18,000,000 or |9,000,000. A considerable portion of this will be paid by antomobilists of other states who now usfl our highways for their pleasure or profit, as the case may be, without Contributing a cent toward the upkeep* of the roads which they help to destroy. Heretofore real estate has had to bear practically all the burden of road maintenance. Here­ after, with the gasoline tax, the users Of the highways will pay the expense of maintenance as they ’should. With so enthusiastic n mandate from the republican state convention, we arc sure that no governor elected on the republican ticket would dare veto a gasoline tax as Governor Groesbeck did; and wc are sure that if the selfish interests heading the Automobile Club of Detroit want to raise their voices against the gasoline tax, they will be invited to stick their heads in the rain barrel and "holler” to their hearts’ content. The rest of the state will pay no attention to them. NOBTHWEST ABSYHIA. Last week’s letter. Joyee Elaine Hyde, accompanied by her aunt, Mn.

CDSSIPINGISA FRIDAY AFTERNOON Sentiment is With The President Here . iML MBIT AUTO COLLISION NORTH OF CITY SATURDAY NIGHT both political parties had pledged an "adjusted compensation” to the for­ mer service men, and that therefore it was up to eongTCim to redeem that pledge. They claimed that if the country could afford to loan our al­ lies in the war $10,000,000,000 with out security or any evidence of in debtedness whatever, as it did, then it can also afford to pay the $3,000,000,000 required to carry ont the Com pensation Act, known as the bonus bill, which had passed both houses by big majorities. They probably did not openly admit it, but it was the fact, that the overwhelming majority of the members of the house and senate had given their personal pledges to those in their districts or states who had urged them' to favor the soldiers ’ bonus. It then became n proposition of carry out their individual pledges and their party pledges; and so, be­ cause of that, t)iey felt at liberty to over-ride the President’s veto.

Another party was with Taylor, whose car went over into the ditch. It is claimed that the Tay­ lor ear was being driven at a very rap­ id rate, and that proper care was not exercised and that thia caused the ac­ cident.

RIMENT TO COMMUNITY make the beat of them '’go some.” Talk Creates Prejudice Against Individuals and Organi­ sation! During the past weak there have been some stories going the rounds ooncerning individuals and eertain to our hearing, that show tho cruel yvrong inflicted by gossip. In tho cases mentioned, motives have been imputed that were never dreamed .of by either the organixationa or teThere are both female and he-goasipers; and we would say that the meet harmful is the he-gewsiper. Usually the female gossip is just idle, careless suits. The he-goasiper is about the limit. Usually this species tails things with­ out knowing their truth, and without investigation; for the purpose of vent­ ing his spite or feeling or creating prejudice against some individual or community groups who happen to in­ cur hia disfavor. Bueh persons as that are the worst enemies of a community. Both the male and female species of gossipcr do much harm, which they ought to realize; but we would say that the male gossiper does far more injury than the other. One can scarce­ ly realize how many persons and or­ ganizations have been made to suffer altogether unjust, unfair and,ground­ less suspicion and distrust because of the things they are charged with say­ ing or doing, and the motives which they are alleged to have, for which It would seem as if anyone would certainly not wish to harm others by saying things about them, when the persons making the statements know ’ that they have no real foundation for the damaging remarks they mike. In moat eaaes the gossiping is carelessly done without intent, but in some cases it is done for the purpose of creating wrong impressions, from which the per­ son making the statamenta hopes to gain something by the damage which he can inflict upon somebody 4toa The fewer of thia class of ho-gosaipers a To James Wolfe, Mrs. Charles Jen­ son, Mrs. Mary Abbey, Fred Otis, A.

Made With Every Lot When BaniEvery one realizes what a nuisance It is, and whatsM inconvenience to those who use main travelled streets, to have them dug up every year in order to malic connections-from some sewer that had The dirt excavated can .never be put back in a way that wiB leave the streets smooth for travel; or at least it never has been so put back without leaving a rough spot where the excava­ tion was made. CityClprk Davis has made a sugges­ tion, which we think ought to be here­ after followed in the laying of sani­ tary sewers in this eity. He suggests that whenever a sewer ia laid that the eity shall, at the same time, make sew­ er connections for every lot abutting upon -the streets where the sewer ia placed running the connection pipe to the lot line, or nt least to the street line, and marking it so it ean be easily found. This would make it so that the street would never bo disturbed for sewer connections after the sewer was first put in. The expense would then be about half of what it would cost to put in tho connection later on, and would save the streets from being torn up and often ruined. At the meeting of the Consnereial Club last week Tuesday, someone who had talked with City Clerk Davis about this matter, presented the subject to the Commercial Club, and they unani­ mously endorsed the proposition and recommended that the proper connnittee go before tho cottneil to urge its adoption. At the Common Council meeting held Friday evening, a resolution was passed directing tho mayor and city clerk, in bdhnlf of the eity, to give a quit claim deed to Mrs. Rebecca Maywood, of Albion, for what io known as the Striker home on the corner of Green and Jefferson streets. It will be remembered that the late Sarah E. Striker, by her will, gavo this property to the eity of Hasting* to bo used finally as an old ladies' home. She also made certain bequests of personal property to the children of Mr. and Mrs. Maywood and di­ rected that the balance, at the death of her daughter, Mrs. Maywood, should be given to the eity of Hastings for the purpose of maintaining the old ladies’ home. Mrs. Maywood was also given a life tenure of the home. Upon her decease, title was to bo vested in this eity. Mrs. Maywood was also to have the income of the personal prop­ erty during her life timA. .: As the city dla'fiot'wish to engage ia the maintenance of an old ladies’ homo hare, and as they did not feel that the amount bequeathed by Mrs. Striker urns sufficient for its entire mainton- At 3 P. M., June 3rd, at the office of tho architect in the Treasurer’s De­ partment at Washington, bids will be opened for betterments for the new Eost office building to be erected here y tho government. There were seven bidders upon the original specifications. Tho lowest bid was considerably below the amount ap­ propriated, so the government held all tho bids, accepting none, and addressed each of the seven, giving them the op­ portunity to figure on betterments to the building, the eost to be added to the original bid. Then tho lowest com­ bined bid will get tho contract. As originally plannod, the approach to tho proposed building from Church street consisted first of three steps then a broad platform, then three other steps leading from that to a much smaller platform on a level with the entrance to the building. In the original plans all of this was to be of concrete. The betterment plans provide for granite atop* for both flights. The first ptab form will bo of concrete and the sec­ ond one of granite. In the original plan, the wall up to the first floor was to be made of con­ crete. Tho betterment plans call for a wall to bo made of cut limestone or sandstone. The original plan called for the out­ side course of brick to be of selected common brick. Tho revised betterment plans eall for facing brick, such as usod in the now Windstorm Company building or the High school building. In tho original plan the cornice was to bo of wood. The now plans eall for a sandstone cornice. It can bo seen that this will mean a very much better building than was originally planned. It is expected that active construction work will commence soon after the letting of tho contract on Juno 3. The site is ideal and this new structure will be a fine addition to the public buildings of this eity. providing the balance needed, a mu­ tual agreement was arrived at between Mrs. Maywood and the City Council some time ago, by- which the city re­ leased all claim to the personal prop­ erty, in return |for which Mrs. May­ wood deeded tho bouse and three lots to the city. The city turned over tho homo to Pennock hospital and it was used as a hospital until the comple­ tion of the new building, since which the house has been vacant. Undoubtedly the eity has done wise­ ly in relieving itself of sny complica­ tions in this matter. Its title to the property was questionable; and it would not wish to be involved in the carrying out of the provision of Mrs. Striker's will which would require the eity to carry on tho benevolent enter­ prise which Mrs. Striker had intended JUDGE EGGLESTON IS to establish here.

In commenting upon these eases the other day she stated that it had hap­ pened in all three instances that the parents were far more to blame than were the young girls; that if the par­ ents had done their duty in the way of home influence and homo instruction, there would have been no occasion for any court action whatever, and that it was the lack of parental guidance and wise parental influence that brought their children into court. The Judge expressed herself as wish­ ing that the Juvenile Court Act might be so amended that ahe could bring in tho parents of such children and punish them even more severely than were the children. We think everyone will agree that she is right. NUMBER 4 BARRY COUNTY MEN FILLING HIGH PLACES MAJOR GLADEON M. BABNB8 MAKING GOOD IN OBDNANCE DEPT. UNUSUAL TALENT AND ABILITY ARE RECOGNIZED Dr. Lyman Briggs and Iler Fair­ child Working in Bureau ft of Standards We think it must be evident to our readers that for a small rural eounty in Michigan, Barry fills a very prom­ inent place in official Washington. We have mentioned so far Congress man Ketcham, George H. Rock, head of the Bureau of Construction and Re­ England with a responsible place in the Post Office Department, Louis Miehacl, who has pioneered in some splendid work for the Department of Agriculture, and is preparing to put a new division of its service on the man. There arc others of whom we shall speak, and possibly and probably there arc still others of whom the writer has not learned, who are serving Unde Sam in Washington. Among those who are doing fine ser­ vice is Major Gladeon M. Barnes, who is well up toward the top in the Ord­ nance Bureau of the War Department. Major Barnes was born in Vermont­ ville, but hia parents moved to Hast­ ings when he was a little child. He graduated from our eity schools and then from the engineering department at Ann Arbor. At the University of Michigan, in hia Junior year, he had the unusual distinction of making the honor society of the engneering de­ partment, Tau Beta PL He soon after naRaol the examinations that enabled him to enter the United States army an an officer and was given a place in the Ordnance Department because of his unusual talent as shown by his record as an engineering student. With the opening of the World war, Major Barnes became very active in the service, and his fine talent was shown in work that won him distinc­ tion and promotion in his branch of the service, which was quite unusual for an army officer who had not had West Point training. You will not hear about any of thia from Major Barnes himself, as he ifi^nJEgry modest man, but ho is very highly regarded by hia aaaociatM and superiors in the War De­ partment. The esteem in which Major Barnes is held, and his fine repatatioa as an partment sent him abroad for a year, in which time he visited and inspected (Continued on page 3.) CITY’S BONDED DEBT IS NOW VERY SMALL Only $27,000 Paving Bonds Not Provided For—Of That Sum City Owes But $11,000 The limit for bond issues of tho eity of Hastings is fixed by its charter at $65,000.00, of which $45,000.00 can be utilized for paving purposes. At the present time the eity has out­ standing about $34,500.00 of paving bonds. These are the only kind of bonds the city owes. One thousand three hundred dollars of these bonds will be paid in June. The budget for the next flseal year, beginning July 1, 1934, calls for $8,000.00 to be used bs an interest and sinking fund, to be ap­ plied to the bonds. Of this amount $6,000.00 will be paid on the bonds, which will leave the bonded indebtednees at the end of next year a little over $27,000.00. But while this $27,000.00 of bonds were issued by the eity and are a di­ rect obligation of the eity, the prop­ erty owners along tho paved streets, for tho paving of which the bonds were issued, will themselves directly pay 60 per cent of these bonds out of their taxes, until the bonds shall be retired. That would mean that the eity will only owe actually but 40 per cent of the $27,000.00. In other words the city's part of the $27,000.00 of bonds will be about $11,000.00. When you think that at the end of this year this city will have over five miles of paving, besides all of the oth­ er property that it owns, we believe it will be "admitted that Hastings is in mighty good shape financially. The school bonds outstanding kava been reduced to leas than half of the original $108,000.00 that were issued. The total bonded debt of Hastings is relatively very small. Tho school debt will be within seven years, of school bonds having al­ paid. MISSIONARY MEETING.

Bo wo cannot gWe as much of a story as we would like to, and otherwise would have been able to, as to tho character of the work Major Barnes is doing. Two Barry County men are well up in tho Bureau of Standards, which ia a part of tho Department of Commerce. The two are Dr. Lyman J. Briggs, chief physicist in the division of me­ chanics and sciences of the Bureau of Standards, and Iler Fairchild, who U the mechanical engineer in that de­ partment under Dr. Brigg*. Mr. Briggs was born on a farm in the township of Assyria, graduated from tho Battle Creek schools, then from the M. A. C., and has taken special courses. For several years ho served in tho Department of Agriculture, but his training and ability and special work had so commended him to thaw in the Department of Commerce that ho was placed at the head of his division in the Bureau of Standards. Iler Fairchild was born and grew to manhood in this city, graduating from our schools and then from the M. A. C. as a mechanical engineer. He se­ cured a position in the Bureau of Standards and has been steadily ad­ vanced until he is now well toward tho top in his division in thnt bureau. The Bureau of Standards was orig­ inally designed to standardize all pro­ ducts that were purchased for the gov­ ernment, in order thnt everyone who wished to get a government order might know thnt ho was competing on absolutely equal term* with every other.

Anyone who visits Washington should eertainly include a visit to the Bureau of Standards as a part of his Washington itinerary. Tho writer was not able to visit the Department of Inter-Btato Commerce while he was at Washington this time, but if he had gone there he would have found another Barry county boy, Burt Bmclker, a son of Jacob Braelker, who went from Freeport, and is now high up in that branch of our government as an attorney. This concludes the series, which we hope has been interesting to our read­ ers, showing to them how their home town nnd county are represented at the nation's capitol by worthy men who are giving splendid service.

Petitions were filed on Tuesday of last week. As it will take but 58,367 signatures to submit nn amendment, nnd the state income tax advocates have already obtained over 50,000, it will bo safe to say that this matter will come up to the voters.

Three Things Demand Attention in Buying Bread— QUALITY - SERVICE - PRICE OUR LOAF PRICE —Is lower than that paid for many other loaves of bread when quality and weight are considered. When you pay 10c for a loaf of bread you get at 10c loaf, when you pay 12c for J. & K. you buy a full weight loaf of superior quality. OUR LOAF QUALITY —Is the highest that can be obtained from FIRST GRADE MATERIALS, SCIEN­ TIFIC METHODS OF BAKING and FINEST SANITARY CONDITIONS. When you buy a J. & K. loaf there can be no question as to quality. OUR LOAF SERVICE —is something you obtain when you buy J. & K. It is fresh every day and you know your grocer gets it direct from the oven—hot, crisp, appetizing. If for any rea­ son your grocer don’t have it you can obtain it from the bakery in a few moments, the same fresh, wholesome, nourishing loaf. J. & K. is baked in Hastings—your home town, where your children study and play, where you earn your living and where we all pay taxes and take pride in OUR CITY’S WELFARE. You can drop in any day and see for yourself just how J. & K. is made, where it is baked and who is mixing the dough and the kind of materials we use. J. & K. is not made in some distant city by people who have no interest in you, your children, your home and your town, and under conditions and from materials *which you know nothing about. o Our Big Aim is not alone to make a success of our business but to gK’e you in exchange for your money the BEST LOAF you ever ate, coupled with prompt and courteous service.

Gasoline By the Pound In order that the general public may vis­ ualize gasoline prices in true perspective, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is endeavoring, in its advertising, to draw just comparisons with other staple and essential products. At today’s prices, if gasoline were sold by the pound, the price at service stations would be about 3Xc per pound. Compare this with sugar at 10c a pound; bread or milk at 8c per pound; butter at 45c and cheese at 60c per pound, and it is apparent at once that gasoline prices are low—especially so when the servk". rendered by gasoline is considered. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) states, that with few exceptions, no other-' manufactured necessity is sold at as low ,' a price as gasoline. This low price is maintained despite the hazards attending the production of gas­ oline, and the vast amount of capital re­ quired to provide distribution facilities adequate to supply you with gasoline, when and where you want it The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), through intensified organization and un­ ceasing initiative, has been a potent factor in the maintenance of low gasoline prices.; This Company endeavors to symbolize that American spirit of dynamic leader■drip, which combines business initiative rith scientific skill for service to the thirty million people of the Middle West This comprehensive service enables the man in modest circumstances to operate his automobile at a fuel cost which he easily can afford.

The Planter of Many Purposes It is like discussing the merits of a trusted friend to get experienced com growers talking about McCormick-Deering (International) Corn Planters. The accuracy with which they drop 2, S or 4 kernels to the hill, as desired. Is only one of their commending features. The planter can be quickly adjusted to keep the boots level so that hills are evenly checked for cross cultivation. It can be used as a straight drill simply by pressing down a small foot pedal, or it can be set to drop full hills without the use of a check wire, by the addition of a sim­ ple power drop attachment. No matter what kind of teed you want to plant, there ia a McCormick-Deering that will do it the best way. For instance, the McCormick-Deering No. 2 has been designed for the man who plants a vari­ ety of crops. Its range of widths and hill distances makes No. 2 especially valuable to the truck farm­ er. There are other styles, suited to various plant­ ing purposes, all giving unvarying satisfaction. With' McCormick-Deering corn planters goes b quick, responsive-service equal to any emergency. We will gladly explain fully the different McCor­ mick-Deering corn planters and the uses to which they are especially adapted. Come in and see us. Edmonds Elevator & Implement Co. CAREY U.

Mr. and Mrs- William Lent of GrandTrani Allegan Home Inmate elicited a great deal of interest, jndging by eepinmnieations and. comments received, and wo hnpc to prepare oas or tiro more en the subject. Early in the work we were most in­ terested in a letter from an inmate of the Allegan County Hone, who takes the BANNBR because of bis former reridence in this county, and to whom the art ides naturally made especial appeal. The letter earns from Verne Ellis. His life story is full of genu­ ine heart intereel. An intelligent fel- diaablcd, though "down ia not out." A ahut-in with a smile who somehow manages to toe a silver lining in the clouds and feels grateful to God for the many blessings he can count in his life, which would seem anything but a bed of roses to the average man and woman. From people who knew his family and a little circular he has prepared because of the many questions ho re­ ceives from people all over the country, who have heard of hia condition and his work, we glean the following in­ formation: Verne Ellis was born in Carlton townahip, Barry county, Juno 23, 1877, and comes of old pioneer stock, his great grandfather being "pcaeon" Ellis of Orangeville, his grandfather was Boyal Elljs, of Carlton township, and his father, Otis Ellis, is still living His mother died before hia fourth birthday, and his only sister in 1910. In 1901 an attack of rheumatism started on him and despite all kinds of medical treatment it grew steadily worse, until practically every joint in his body was stiffened and swollen. He was an intense sufferer for years, but for the past few years, while being left in a drawn and crippled condition, he does not have the acute pains of the earlier stages of the disease and his general health is good. He has not been able to do any active manual work since 1903, and it is twelve veers since he stepped on his feet, his knees being drawn to a sit­ ting posture. His hands are too mis­ shapen to write, but by using a lead pencil in each hand ho can hit the keys of n typewriter with the rubber end and attends to his own letter writ­ ing and that of many other inmates of the Homo as well. His only near living relative is his father, now nearly 80 years of ago, and altho a hard worker, in in no fin­ ancial condition to aid him His resi­ dence at Otsego is his son's reason for being in the Allegan County Homo, so ns to be as near aim as possible. Tho latter has been an inmate there for fourteen years, and is grateful, as ho •ays, for this harbor in time of storm. In 1912 he started up a little mail order business and ho hopes in time to become self-supporting, so he can leave the County Home, move into town where he can see and come in eoDtact with people and widen his work That's his great ambition and the goal he has act out to achieve. In 1920 he started a magazine sub­ scription agency which has had a splendid growth, in 1921* receiving 60 subscriptions, in 1922 300. the next year 000. It’s one of the few linos of work his condition makes it possible for him to do. Ho can take a subscription for any magaxine published and bis prices are what you would have to pay any pub­ lication itself, he receiving a commis­ sion for his work. His address is Verne Ellis, AUcgan, Mich. Just keep his name in mind when you are ordering your next magazine list or are sub­ scribing) for any publication, magaj zine or paper. Every little amount helps this man to get nearer his goal of becoming entirely self-supporting, a desire that leaves very few people in the course of life. Later wo plan to present a more extended article about Mr. Ellis as wo know many peo(de in Barry county will be interested n his welfare. Another response that wo are pleas­ ed to record is the one which resulted from the mention of the need of a typewriter for Ed Smith, one of tho blind inmates, a second 'hand one in good condition being received from Donabl I). Smith, of the Southern Sure­ ty Co., Detroit. Wo wish everyone might have boon a witness to Ed’s pleasure the time it was taken out to him, and tho eager­ ness be displayed to get busy with it. It Is some years since ho has had the privilege of using one, and the keys and shift arc a bit different, but ho is mastering it, and has already written to the Banner a typed lotteF voicing his appreciation.

That Service is today the best Michigan has ever enjoyed. Al a result there has come into being between the State’s 24 ■team Railroads and the public they serve, a spirit of pride and mntnal good will. Geographical isolation has made railroad service a local more than a national problem in both Peninsulas of Michigan. Within the enveloping barrier* established by our Great Lakes, Michigan and her Railroads can prosper only by prospering together. State and carriers become thus members of a close community of interest. Michigan Railroads realize this fact and make it fundamental in all details of management and operation. The public can also recognize this situation by neighborly co­ operation and by insisting that the road* be repaid by receiving, in national and state supervision, the same square deal. We invite from you any suggestion of more ways in which we can consistently better our service. Michigan Railroad Association *M BaUway Ta■>■■*! BM*. D.lrxHt, MMk. Try a Banner Want Ad.

The object of all this propaganda ww to lull unsuspecting countries to slumber in the face of danger all around them. How extensive thia trea­ sonable propaganda was it is only nec­ essary to revert to tho time of the late war, when oven the United States was DEVOE enjolod into continuing its policy of unpreparedneas, and by reason of it ^0T0p CAR finisu was unable to give its allies any as­ sistance for a year. And just as the war closed we were getting into “pro duction” of guns, aeroplanes, ammuni­ tion; gas and everything necessary to carry on the war. It should be made treason in this country to permit any organization for the so-called ** propagation of peace” to preach its poisonous doctrines that tend to unpreparedness and leave us defenseless.

AUTHORIZED AfJENT FORj Quality” a Great Factor DBVOt PAINT AND VARNISH PRODUCTS IN SUCCESSFUL DAIRYING AUCTION SALE The importance of efficient cows to secure economic dairy production is very great. One other factor greatly influences prices and demands for dairy products, and that is the quality of our milk and cream. Denmark is able to pay the cost of shipment of her butter to this country, and pay a tariff of eight cents a pound and sell here for the same price that our butter sells for, owing largely to the fact that Denmark has most efficient cows and they produce high quality milk and cream from which her butter is made. In order to settle the property matters of Ja of the personal property at public auction at Dowling, on Sec. 34, Baltimore Township, on TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1924 Commencing at 1 o’clock, sharp, and offer the following described property:— HORSES.

A survey recently completed by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, United State Department of Agriculture, shows that the per capita consumption of fluid milk for 1923 was 53 gallons, which figures out to 1.16 pints daily for each person.

The past few years have on the whole been on the gain for the dairy industry; production of all dairy products made a new high record. Consumption figures show a like expansion. The year of 1923 was a year of greater prosperity for the dairy farmer than he has had for the past three or four years. “The number of cows in the year 1850 was 6,400,000 while in the year 1923 there were 24,67 5,000, the largest number on record. It seems to me that this should prove that dairying pays.. When 1 first started in the dairy business I received as low as 90 cents per cwt. during the summer months. To be sure things we bought were at tne same low level, but the dairy farm­ er must remember he has no ups and d owns as in other classes of livestock. The dairy cow is the wet nurse for th e human race.” TERMS OF SALE—All sums of $5 and under, cash. Over that amount five months* time will be given on good bankable notes with interest at 7 per cent.

In 1845, the first fast printing press was invented, which reunited in the establishment of the daily paper on its present extensive basis. In 1855, the first iron beam wan used in building construction. This marked the beginning of the modern steel sky­ scraper. In 1870, the flrot Btcel ship was built, leading up to the marked development of ocean commerce. In 1876, the telephone was invented. In 1876, also ocenrred the Philadel­ phia exposition.. It was heralded throughout the world that al( machinery in thnt exposition Was driven by one mammoth Corlisa engine, which devel­ oped 2,500 home power. Thia was the marvel of its day.

DASIE ORUE GRADED COURSE COV­ ERS FOUR YEARS’ WORK Splendid Results Have Been Obtained Wherever Studied With the new school year in Septem her there will be introduced into the Hastings public school the Kinscelln Method of Piano Class Work under the supervision of Mrs. Dasie Crue. This method was originated in Lin­ coln, Nebraska, by Miss Kinseelln, who is a Major Instructor of Piano at the University of Music. She began on n small scale in a foreign district of thnt city in February 1919 and the work proved so successful and popular that now there are more than 1500 pupil* enrolled in the Lincoln schools. A few of the cities using this method are Long Beach, California, Wichita, Kan., Rochester, N. Y-, Rock Island, Moline and Roekford, Ill., Ann Arbor, Mich., land, Canada, th* Philippine and Hawai­ ian Islands and in many private studios and Americanization centers. More than 50,000 children are now studying in the Kinseelln Piano classes. Its aims are: First: To teaeh children to play the piano artistically, confidently, and pianistically. Second: To make the study available to all.children of a rnmrannity. Third: To lay » solid foundation in theory of music and real fundamentals of musical knowledge and piano play­ ing from the first class lesion in piano. Fourth: To teaeh a high class of music. Fifth: To develop piano ensemble— as many ns twenty pupils at ten pianos playing together accompanied by an orchestra and keeping perfect time. The course is perfectly graded and at least four years are deeded to finish this course which includes not only sight reading, but superior training in rhythm drills, ear training, memorizing, rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic dic­ tation, musical history and development of beautiful tonal work. A set of rules and regulations gov­ ern the class teacher and protects the private teachers. The class teacher can very soon determine if a pupil can progress in a class, or if ho needs pri- stimulated by the competition encount­ ered in a elans. A class should consist of no leas than eight pupils and no more than four­ teen. Every, pupil must play the old lesson and a different one works out the new lesson at the piano each time, while the rest of the class do the same at their own card-board keyboard.

CHIS, n GAVZ FIVE RULES THAT WILL MAKE FOR HAP­ PINESS CHEERFULNESS AND CON­ TENTMENT NECESSARY Wholehearted Service and Confidence in God Bring Best Results Those who failed to hear Dr. Charles E. Barker at the Methodist church Bun­ day morning missed one of the best, most practical nnd most helpful ad­ dresses ever given in this city. His subject was “The Road to Happiness,” and one realizes the truth of his state­ ments about hi* own happiness when they hear him speak. The address was based on five rules for happiness, and every one of these rules can bo observed by every indi­ vidual if they so will it. First—Cultivate the habit of always .looking on tho bright aldo 6t every ex­ perience that touches your life and cease from worry. This first rule alone has wonderful transforming power. Dr. Barker quoted Robert Louis Stevenson, who said, “I am not responsible for the kind of disposition handed down to mo by my ancestors, but I am responsi­ ble for tho kind of disposition I carry around with me.” life, and be contented wherever you aro. Tho experience of tho Apostle Paul was given as an example of cheerfulness and contentment. When Paul was in chains in tho Roman prison ho said, “I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to bo content.” Third—‘You must throw your whole sji.1 and spirit into your work and -io it tho best you know how. Surely whole-hearted service brings the best results nnd is greatly to bo desired. The speaker mentioned four elates of workers and said that as long as each man did his work to tho best of hi* ability and with the right spirit, that all wore equal whether ho bo the ditch digger or the bank president. Fourth—Form tho habit of doing kind things for tho people who touch your life each day, for the more of happiness you give away tho more you have for, yourself.

Hereto­ fore there haa not been much encour­ agement, however, as it had been giv­ en out that the Gaand Commandery of this state would oppose the enterprise. In spite of this intimation, local Ma­ sons have gone ahead with the proposi­ tion during the past winter and spring, and they have a total of 57 applicants for the Commandery, and there were before this effort was made 16 mem­ ber* of • the Charlotte Commandery, who reside here. It is not questioned at sll but that a membership of frota 80 to 100 can be secured, as there are 1,000 Master Masons in this county at the present time. The Grand Commandery officers, upon receiving the petition for a Command­ ery here, selected Ray Bronson, of Lan­ sing, and Fred B. Aldrieh, of Flint, two Past Eminent Grand Commanders of the Grand Commandery of Michigan, as a special committee to visit Hastings and decide a* to whether the State Grand Commandery would be warranted in giving its permit for a Hastings Commandery. Mr. Bronson waa known to be a man who was not in favor of establishing weak Commanderies any­ where. He had introduced in(o the state body a resolution pledging that body to oppose giving it* sanction to the establishment of a loeal Knights Tem­ plar Commandery whieh didn give ev­ er}1 promise of becoming a strong one. Ha and his associate came to Hastings fully committed to the proposition, unless their investigation disclosed possibilities which they did not think it would, that they would recommend a refusal on the part of tho Grand Lodge to granting a Commandery for Hastings. On Thursday Messrs. Bronson and Aldrieh visited Hastings and spent the day here. They were met by a commit­ tee representing those who wanted the Commaadery, and were driven about the eity. They were pleasantly surprised in whaC they saw of Hastings. The enhere saadc a very favorable impression. Thursday evening a banquet was tend­ ered to them, whieh was attended by nearly all of the prospective members of the new Commandcry, as well as by Hastings members of other Com­ mand ones and also by the DeMolay boys. Mr. Bronson stated at the ban­ quet that what he had seen and what he had learned of the strength of the Masonic order in this eity and county had changed his views, and that he waa prepared to recommend to the. Grand Comnxandery that that body grant its permission for a Commandery in EEas­ ting* The Grand Commandery will meet in Saginaw this week, and it is believod the matter will be settled favorably, in view of tho statements made here by the committee. “ROSE MAIDEN” TO BE SUNG SUNDAY P.

Chorus and Soloists With Snpt. \ Van Buskirk as Director \\ Present Cantata Find! rehearsals are being held foe “The Rape Maiden,” the cantata whieh will be given at the Methodist Episco­ pal church next Sunday afternooa, June 8th, at four o’eloeh, under direction of Supt. D. E. Van Buskirk. A well selected chorus of voices with Mr. J. Hans Holder and Miss June Cor­ bin of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Leland Holly, Miss Ethel Wilber and Mr. Van Bus­ kirk ns soloists, promises a musical treat for Hastings people. The score is a very beautiful one, written by Frederic H. Cowen. The story is a fanciful one and centers around the Queen of the Flower Fairies, who weary of her uneventful life, begs of the returning Spring to bestow the gift of love upon her. After protest* and warnings he yields to her entreaties and changes her into a beautiful girt. She assume* the name of Roseblosoom and wanders wide seeking love, and although warned of its perils she goes on undeterred in her quest. Finally she become* the wife of a forester with whom she finds perfect happiness so much so that she cannot survive his death. The cantata closes with a love­ ly ehorus of farewell by elves, be­ wailing the fate of their Queen. While no admission is asked, a sil­ ver offering will be taken to defray the expenses connected with bringing the out-of-town soloists hero and ths cost of the eutata book* Mr. Van Buskirk, who ha* proven himself a most efficient director, gives his tinss as do all the local singers, and we hops the result will justify the production of similar affairs next year and the or­ ganization ef a community chorus when even more ambitious undertakings may �THE HASTINGS BANNER.

Wo do not want the Japs to live in this country, and we are entire­ ly within our rights In excluding them; but nnvone can see how absolute exclu­ sion places the Japanese as compared with other peoples, and why the peo­ ple of Japan resent it, as implying that we consider them an inferior race when they aro not. As a matter of fact, it is not because we think they are inferior that we reject them. No doubt bad the president been given the opportunity-to explain the entizo-aituktion to the Jap­ anese government in the usual diplomat­ ic way, all friction would have been avoided and the needless affront to Japan might have been saved. But this is only an incident, and does not mar tho accomplishment of a won­ derfully constructive piece of legisla­ tion -by Congress. It was fitting that the anthur of tho bill should be CongreMman Johnson, of tho state of Washington, who has given to this bill years of study, because this matter has besn up to his committee for threo years. He had induced Congress to check immigration, as it did threo years ago, by temporary expedients in order that a really scientific study of tho whole problem could be given and its right solution could be made. Not on­ ly Mr. Johnson and his committee but Congress as well, sre to be commended for this splendid bill whieh, no doubt, will save our American form of govern­ ment from overthrow by the hordes of immigrants who would have flocked hero from eastern and southern Europe nnd western Asia. Our experience with that type of population has proven that they can only be assimilated very slow­ ly, if at all. NOTED CLERGYMAN SPEAKS HERE SUNDAY James 0. S. Huntington to Preach at Emmanuel Church at 10:30 On Bandar, June 8, Hastings people will have 'the opportunity of hearing one of America's distinguished clergy­ men and greatest preachers when the Reverend James O. R Huntington, O. H. C., will preneh at Emmanuel church, Broadway at Center, at half past ten. Fr. Huntington is well known throughout this country and England as one of theoutstanding leaden of religions thought, a clear and forceful preacher and a man of great spiritual insight. He was one of the two Amer­ ican speakers to address the great Con­ gress of English Churchmen at the Royal Albert Hall in London last July, where he addressed tin audience of eome 18,000 people. He was introduced to the Congress as “the best loved priest of the American Episcopal church.1' Fr. Huntington is the founder and the present Superior of the Order of the Holy Cross, a religious community for priests and laymen, with headquar­ ters at West Park, New York. The order maintains houses at Kent, Conn., where a school for boys is under its direction, a school for mountain boys st Rt. Andrew's near Sewanee, Tenn., a priory at Ripon, Wisconsin, and a mission station at Mosambolahun, Li­ beria. Fr. Huntington, who is now in his seventieth year, recently returned from This mission is in the hinterland of Li beria among the natives of the Gbande tribe, and tho Fathers were the first white men to come among them. The trip to Mosambolahun. a journey of 12,000 miles ia made by way of Eng­ land, thence by steamer to Sicrro Leone on the west eoaat of Africa. From there a short rail trip brings the travel­ er to Pcndcmbu from which point the remainder of the trip must be made cither on foot or in n hammock slung between two native carriers, through a dense tropical growth. Fr. Huntington spent Christmas there, making a thor­ ough inspection of the work earried on among the natives who have hitherto never heard the Christian gospel. Fr. Huntington will preach here next Sunday only at the half past ten serv­ let as he mast leave in the afternoon to keep an engagement in Grand Rap­ ids.

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 “Fortnight," the High School paper, has been started this The Hastings High School is known throughout the state for its wholesome 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 are 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. We have a full time Physical Director for 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 $75.00 per year. The home district must pay $60.00 of this per year if application for tuition 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 stu­ dent is certain of attending high school next year. Address inquiries to 1 D. A. VAN BUSKIRK, Superintendent, or W. T.

We get money and go ahead and spend it, thinking that things “will come out all right anyway.” Each year finds us nd better off than we were the year before; the years fly by; gray hairs commence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the family. Then it is that we face the specter of old age, without income and without means. This little statement sums up the life experience of a large number of people. The AIM of this Bank is to be helpful—to render genuine SERVICE. That’s a PART of OUR BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire if you have ever ASKED YOURSELF these questions: T 9 “Am I Getting Ahead, Just Keeping Even or Am I Running in Debt?” We can HELP YOU get in a better financial condition.

Wittenback, Grand Rapids . .21 Melba Matthews, Middleville............. 18 ?217 One of. the great demands in this country today is for “lower taxes” and the people should stand solidly be­ hind President Coolidge in his effort to bring it about. Every citizen will be benefltted by this reduction and it is the only way on earth that we can get back to pre-war conditions. Some people seem to think that by loading taxes upon one class of citi­ zens, or one kina of business, that the balance of the paople will escape taxa­ tion, but such an idea is just as un­ sound as it is untrue. Way back more than a century ago, wise old Ben Frank­ lin said: “Goods will not toll for less than they cost.” When the manu­ facturer has his taxes boosted, he must put the extra cost upon the product and in the end “the consumer pays the tax”—often with quite a little added on. The government primarily has only one chief service of revenue, and that is from, the people. Because a tax is collected from some particular class, is no sign that all the people do not have to pay it eventually in the way of higher prices. The only way to get out of paying high taxes is to reduce the amount of the tax. Lower taxes will be a'benefit to all the people and no one has more persistently advocated and worked to bring it about than has President Coolidge. ,A11 kinds of ex­ penses can never be reduced until taxes come down. In'a recent debate be­ fore Congress a Senator most truthful­ ly said that “public economy has be­ come the most vital question in Ameri­ can politics.” It is a national prob­ lem, not a party question. It doesn’t help very much to reduce taxes 250 or 300 millions, and then vote to increase our obligations 4 bil­ lions of dollars. That’s extravagance —and “extravagance and corruption arc both plants from the same putrid ooiL” President Coolidge el early recognizes the demand for LOWER TAXES on the part of the people of the United States, and that the ONLY way to bring taxes down is by reducing and keeping down the expense of government. When the tax burdens are reduced products ean > we would like to do. It means follow­ ing this policy not merely for six months, or a year, but for several yean. But it MU8T be done if we are to ever have taxes reduced. Every citizen of this country, men, women and children, are directly inter­ ested in having tax burdens lowered. It should not necessarily bo a partisan issue, because members of all parties are interacted. In fact, under our sys­ tem of government by parties,- under which we have grown so great, power­ ful and prosperous, the people are xqore or loss to blame for conditions, becausa they have taken so little inter­ est in governmental affairs. In one of his messages to Congress President Taft well said:—"What the govern­ ment does with nearly one billion dol­ lar* (now very much more) each year ,is of as much concern to the average citizen as is the manner of obtaining this money for public use.” The war brought on a period of ex­ travagant spending, both on the part of the government as well as indivi­ duals. The war ended several years ago, but the lavish use of money has not. It’s time that we get our “feet on the ground” again, quit spending money, and adopt a policy of reducing taxes, just as President Coolidge has been fighting for.

We know you ’ro always busy, Dad, With duty, work and care; We know yonr heart's o’er flowing With love and hope most rare. (Continued from page one.) ua from our ancestors. These are in­ herited physiological, moral and meatal characteristics. It can be seen that these two inheri­ tances are widely and fundamentally different What may be termed our social inher­ itance has been made possible by human speech, by picture making and then by writing. These have made it possible for the passing on from group to group, from generation to generation, of accumulated knowledge and experience. But the ability to pass on this accumu­ lated knowledge and experience, and use it as it should bo used, depends upon mental capacity. In other words, a human group of high inherent capa­ city can develop and maintain a high, useful evolution or civilization. On the contrary, a group of low capacity can­ not do this. This inherent human capa­ city is the result of biological evolu­ tion and not social evolution. The inherent capacity for civilization of the early Greeks and Egyptians was undoubtedly as good as that of the mod­ ern Americans. They had as good en­ dowment of body and brain as have wo. What they lacked, and what made their civilization inferior to our own, was the accumulated knowledge and the ac­ cumulated material results of tho ap­ plication of science to life and indus­ try, which wo have. The differences which we find in liv­ ing groups of peoples, as wo find them today, are due to the extent to which societal evolution has proceeded among them. These differences make such classifications as “barbarians” and “civilized.” But some barbarians may have inherent capacity for civilization, as ie proven by civilized Indians in our own country and the civilized Maoris of New Zeeland. The children of these former barbarians have as high rating* in the school* as do the children of the white people who brought civilization to them. What biologists maintain, and they prove it,,is that a high civilization can only be maintained by good, human stock; nnd it is when they consider pro*, pects for maintaining a high civiliza­ tion that biologists become pessimistic, because they observe a rapid increase in the. number of mental, moral and spir­ itual derelicts in every civilized coun­ try. They point to such proven facts In all your obligations and help to many another, We know we need not guide you, Dad; We know you have “Another.” There's just another little thought we have, We girls and brother; Just when you’re stepping into line, Thif will help eut down living expenses, Don’t step in front of Mother. the oo*t of building, the expenne of One-half of England’s new generation Now you know we dearly love you, Dad, of people comes from one-quarter of Just every bit end grain, that country’s people, and that oneThrough the “budget system” thin A* well as we love Mother, quarter is the most poorly endowed in country has already greatly reduced both biological and social inheritance. itn expenses; it han paid off something And we know you’re just delighted, Statistics Prove that more than 40 per Kha 4 billions of the government debt, Dad, cent of the children in England’s and in in podtiOn to lower government You’re pleased as is no other; schools are defective physically or mentaxes, unites some new burden of la life’s great crowded ranks, dear ♦axes is added to an already tax-bur­ Dad, Examinations made of one and onedened people.

Many physical defects were also found that could be traced to heredity. Physical, mental and moral defects are multiplying rapidly, some of this being duo to our mistaken philanthro­ py. Two specific individual instance* of the terrible results to civilization of mental, physical and moral degeneracy arc cited, as fbllows: Tho Jukes family of New York state, 1,200 of whose descendants have been traced from tho original pair. Of these 440 physical wrecks from debauchery were found in the 1,200; 50 of them were prostitutes; 60 wero habitual thieves; 7 of them were murderer*; 130 of them were convicted for other crimes. Many others were way below par when measured by normal civilized standards. Tho descendants of this one family have coat tho state of New Yock over $1,000,000 to care for defective, crim­ inal and immoral member* descended from that one pair. Another family instance is that of the Kallikak family. Tho descendants of Mr. Kallikak have been traced for five generations, nnd therfi were two types of descendants. Kallikak was the fa­ ther of a feeble minded, illegitimate son from a feeble minded girt Four hundred eighty descendants have been traced from that feeble minded son. Only 46 are known to be mentally nor­ mal. Ono hundred forty-three wero feeble minded; 38 wore notoriously sex­ ually immoral; 24 wots confirmed alcoholiits, and many others were defective or criminal, or both. This samo Kalli­ kak married a normal woman. Four hundred ninety-six descendants have been traced from that union, without a single epileptic or criminal in the en­ tire 496. Ali but one wen normal mentally. Could anything tell a more startling biological story than this Kal­ likak family f It is the biological in­ heritance that count*. In America our problem is being com­ plicated and our race stock likely to be degraded by the hosts of Negroes migrating from the south, where they are kept entirely separate from the whites, into the north where they intermarry many times with white people. Despite all tho pessimism that a study of the facts wo have given induce, Mr. Kellogg declares that civilization need not perish, and that humanity need not have a bad biological future. All that is required is to apply the principles of eugenics. Education and legislation can and will prevent the multiplication of hereditary defectives and delinquents and prevent harm from the' exodus of Negroes to cur northern citie*. Mr. Kellogg concludes hi* splendid article by the statement that “Man ean de­ termine bis own evolutionary future. He is the only one among organisms possessing that power. A happy,* but a terribly responsible position. What io man doing about it in the world! What dping about it in America T” Without vision, and vision which leads to- well-consideaad action, we per­ ish and civilization:.will perish too. cjbdai] FourWheel Brakes CTNTRAL RUTLAND.

Michigan, on the 14th day at August. 1924. at 10 o’clock A. M., of all Dependability and Quality Account for the Popularity of White Lily Flour FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is aW OU 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. 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 yOO HAVE TO BUY IT at so much per pound. In FRENCH S WHITE LILy you get nothing but Pl JRF. Here are some of the reasons why FRENCH’S WHITE LILY is always the same:«—• 1 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 10 or 15 hours each day. — The STOPPING and STARTING AFFECT THE QUALITY. 2nd. We put our grain through I 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 county. For nearly 50 years it has been a house­ hold word in hundreds of homes in this county.

PAGES Ito 8 MANGLED LEFT HAND Burner Lanfear Buffer* From Bad Accident at Eli Linduy’s Farm Thursday Afternoon Earner Lanfear of this eity has a badly mangled.left hand as a result of an accident which happened at tho farm of Eli Lindsey, in Prairieville township, Thursday afternoon. It was lucky that it was not more serious. Mr. Lanfear was putting down a drive well for Mr. Lindsey. His left hand was on the cap to the pipe which he was turning with his right hand, using a big wrench for that purpose. In some manner his assistant disen­ gaged tho drive-block, which weighs over 200 lbs., and was four feet above the cap of the driven pipe. The assist­ ant tried to stop its fall, and undoubt­ edly did succeed in breaking the force of tho blow. The block narrowly missed hitting Mr. Lanfear on tho head, but struck his left hand, smashing the thumb and the middle of the hand. He was brought as quickly as possible to Dr. McIntyre’s office, where the Dr. was waiting for him, having been no­ tified by phone. The injured hand, several of the bones of which were broh­ en, was dressed, and Mr. Lanfear was made as comfortable as posable. It is believed that the hand will be saved, although it will never again be as use­ ful to him as before the accident.

Before next Decern ber several statesmen who nrc respon i‘iblc for this action will be voted ou* of their jobs. Congress passed last week a bill t< increase salaries of postal employees It would add over 868,000,000 year!} to government expenses. President Coolidge on Saturday vetoed the meas ure saying: “Government extravagance must stop. The people of this nation are paying all that is possible for then to pay. I have taken my position for government economy. I feel that that position ought to be consistent.” There will eome a time when our national debt will be down to a quar­ ter of its present big proportions, and then congress and the government ean afford to be generous to the postal employees. Bqt the time Is not now, in the President's judgment. This is the time for government economy, Id his opinion. Bo the President is consistent in vetoing the bill, and we believe the people of this country are with him. as they were, qn the bonus question. If congress has any doubt of that prop­ osition we believe the November elec­ tion will very emphatically remove their doubts.

Barnum spoke perhaps better than he knew, when he said “there ia one born every minute.” But at that, the indications are that he made his esti­ mate too low. Possibly no agency in this country is better able to estimate people’s leases than the U. & Treasury Department. Naturally it doesn’t get them all and perhaps not a very large proportion, because when a man gets “stung” on a “ get-rieh-quiek ” investment, he doesn’t like to advertise to the world that he is a “ sucker,’ ’ or an easy mark. Ho keeps it to himself. But during the year of 1923, the U. 8. Treasury Department says that a low estimate of the losses of the peo­ ple of the United States, in “get-riehquick” projects, was over ONE HALF OF A BILLION DOLLARS, and that the actual amount, if it could be ucortainetl, would reach more than ONE BILLION DOLLARS. Think of that staggering sum and what it would mean to communities if loft in regular chan­ nels of trade. This huge amount might just as well have been sunk in the bot­ tom of the ocean, as far aa any good coming to the investor, or the com­ munity. Money has wings and flies away easily. Saving money seems to be al­ most as hard as earning it. Shun the oily-tongued salesman who tells you of tho mountains of gold that beckon on the blue horizon, or of the far-off coun­ try where diamonds literally cover the face of the earth, or where oil indi­ cations surely point to “gushers” and fabulous wealth. Men who actually find such bonansas are not going around and telling the world about them, much less giving you a ehanee to invest in a “sure thing.” It isn’t human na­ ture. Salesmen are going around the United States today, some of them selling oil stock, mining stock, radio stock, and every other conceivable kind of stock, not with any idea of helping you, but to GET YOUR MONEY—in other words to make a sucker out of you. There are plenty of good stocks that you can buy today that are WORTH THE MONEY, and will pay you a rca •enable return oa your money—that's all you ought to expect.

Musical Talent of Min Ethel Wilber Has Been Freely Given Hastings has had for several yean very fine talent a* supervisor of music in the public schools, but we have nev­ er had one who has been the superior in talent of Miss Ethel Wilber. What has especially won her great favor with the people of Hastings has been her entire willingness to enter into everything where her musical ability and tho organisations which she per­ fected in the schools could serve the community. Parent-Teacher*’ club mootings, Women’s Club meetings, and many other public gatherings, entire­ ly outside of her regular school duties, have been greatly helped by the as­ sistance she has so readily and help­ fully given. We feel that that this ought to be said as a public recognition of tho fine service she has given to the community. HIGHBAKK. Mr. and Mtn. Clayton McKeown Tilited in Augnata, Sunday.

The first reunion of former pupils and teachers of Welcome Corners school occurred Saturday, Juno 7, 1924. The meeting was held and dinner served in the Grange hall which had been beau­ tifully decorated with ferns and flow­ ers.

In other words, a Lawn Mower that’ll give you the best of service—one that’ll cut evenly and with little effort after years of use—is a better buy than a cheap mower which sooner or later will require mon effort to push, will not cut evenly, and will require frequent re­ adjustments of the blades if it’s to cut at all.

WAS HELD AT THE COUNTRY OLUB THURSDAY EVEMING, 7 O'CLOCK KALAMAZOO JOBBERS WERE HONOR GUESTS And Were Delighted With Re­ ception Given by Has­ tings Merchants The Hartinff, Commercial Club enter­ tain'd the Jobber#' Division of the Katnmazoo Chamber of Commerce at the Country Club Thursday evening. Thia was only another one of the very delighful occasions that have marked the career of the local organization, and have done so much to advertise Hastings to the outside world. There vnis a large attendance of members and guests, and the delegation of Kalama­ zoo jobbers, und*r the direction of “Charlie Boas,’’ kept eomethjng doing every minute. The fine banquet prepared under the direction of Mrs. Ida Wood, was served at 7 o’clock. Invocation was asked by Fr. Jordan, and a splendid nine piece or­ chestra, composed of Mrs. Clifton Wat­ kins, Mrs. Kenneth Calkins, Frank Adair, Dr. Barber, Hubert Cook, Boy Chandler, Hubert Fairchild, Leon Tol­ hurst and Dan Walldorff furished mu­ sic that added much to the enjoyment of the evening. 1 Bobt. Walton very capably presided as toastmaster and had the advantage of personal acquaintance with the guests, having been a former resident of the Celery City. The address of wel­ come was very appropriately mode by Will Reed, president of the Commercial Club, who cordially welcomed the job­ bers to Hastings, and was responded to by J. Chas. Boss in behalf of the guest's. Mr. Boss by no means spared the feelings or the purses of his asso­ ciates, and proceeded to levy fines on his Kalamazoo friends for various rea­ sons. Protests were powerless and the fines .were collected by Miss Elizabeth Severance, secretary of the Commercial Club. Will Chase led in community singing, which was highly complimented by the visitors, who pronounced it the best they had ever had the pleasure of lis­ tening to. Mrs. Harry Strong, of Battle Creek, with Mrs. Clifford Brainard as accom­ panist on the piano, rendered a fine vocal selection and was compelled to respond to an encore. Herbert E. Johnson, president of the Kalamazoo City Savings ' Bank, was next introduced and gave a fine talk upon the business outlook, outlining things to be avoided, and calling atten­ tion to conditions that are hopeful and promising. Mr. Harry Strong, of Battle Creek, who enjoys more than local famo as ,a whistler, gave a demonstration of his ability along this line in such a way that he was called upon to respond to a couple of encores. The last one was a duet with Mrs. Strong as soloist, Mr. Strong whistling and Mrs. Brainard as accompanist on the piano. Fr. P. J. Jordan was next introduced and gave a good sensible talk on “Op­ timism.*’ Fr. Jordan said that while we hair much about Bolshevism, yet we should not overlook the fact that for every Bolshevist, who would overturn present world conditions, there are a dozen loyal hearts to prevent his doing it. We hear about Bolshevists because they are always talking, but of the countless thousands opposed to such doctrines we hear nothing. Tho meeting closed with all arising and singing “America..’’ These splen­ did banquets which seem to grow in interest, add much to the social life of the community and certainly pro­ mote a better feeling. The officers and committees responsible for the success­ ful affair Thursday evening axe certain­ ly entitled to much credit. WOODBURY.

We get money and go ahead and spend it, thinking that things “will come out all right anyway.” Each year finds us no better off than we were the year before; the years fly by; gray hairs commence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the family. Then it is that we face the specter of old age, without income and without means. This little statement sums up the life experience of a large number of people. The AIM of this Bank is to be helpful—to render genuine SERVICE. That’s a PART of OUR BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire if you have ever ASKED YOURSELF these questions: “Do I Know My Financial Condition?” “Am I Getting Ahead, Just Keeping Even or Am i Running in Debt?” We can HELP YOU get in a better financial condition. Open a Sav­ ings Account with us and add to it as much as you can each week or month. At the end of the FIRST YEAR you will see how EASY it is to GET AHEAD and KEEP AHEAD,. We will always be glad to ad­ vise with you, or render you any service that we can. National Bank MHUERESrHB EARLY HISTORY (Continued from page one.) . every saloon was cld»ed. Great was the rejoicing for now tho saloon clement and tho public generally believed that tho forthcoming legislature would sure­ ly comply with the demand and outlaw the whole nefarious business. But alas our experience later showed that the saloon keepers wore far more amenable to our pleadings in behalf of suffering humanity than the bonqxable(f) legis­ lature. We women heard that some wise ones . had declared that the inspired work • of the Crusade must not die, but should be erystalized into an organization with name and purpose. A meeting. was called later at Cleveland, Ohio, and the “Ciystalization ’’ waa affected with the fundamental purposes of “Peace, Pur­ ity and Prohibition," and named tho “Woman’s Christian Temepranco UnionJ’ Then our Crusade band pro; eeeded to “crystalize" also, and becamd the Hastings W. C. T. U. of Michigan. Our Temperance band had been stead­ ily increasing and we kept diligently st work wfth our pieage signing, mass meetings, ate. Bo our Union started out with over one hundred members, all rejoicing in the redeemed homes, happy wives and children that a saloonless town insured. Hearing of. Dr. Henry Reynolds, who had himself been reformed and who was ever reminded of his pledge by wearing a tiny bit of red ribbon tied in the but­ ton hole of his vest, we sent for hhn ' • to come to ua for'a week’s campaign to help in the neat Temperance Revival ws were having, and to inaugurate his novel scheme. Many of the good men were glad to- eome .to our help. Pro­ cessor Diekie, of course, was u host in himself and rendered most valiant sefriee. The old Opera House was bona on the men and the white on the women became a decorat ion be proud of. And we were glad to join hands with the Red Ribbon Club, which was then funded. Our meetings were held weekly, ev\ erX Wednesday afternoon, and the Club every Saturday evening. Sunday meetings continued nt tho Opera Houae. the Then ."later Bunday mans meetings___ Bun ­ rision of day afternoon under the supervision the two societies in the Court House Square when weather would permit. , T. U. of Battle Creek. Now we were looking for.tho prom­ ised legislation and the'“Mosher Bill’*1 (whieh called for tho prohibition of the manufacturing and sale of all in­ toxicating liquors) was to bo presented. Mrs. Rachel A. Bailed was appointed to tako our petitions and to join with others throughout the state and toi bring back the report of victory, that we confidently expected. At the first reading of the “hili’' at Lansing wc wore surprised at tho spineless attitude of many of the very members whom we had helped to elect on their prpmiso to put the bill through. Action was postponed until the-next day. On the second reading, postponed again. Al­ though it neceasitated expense, we stay­ ed on.' At the third reading a repre­ sentative from Rum Cursed Wayne County, First District, arose and in a foreign accent said, “I'm hero taking notes, and the man who votes for that bill, which was started by a lot of crazy women, will nover get hero again." Thus the “Wet Interests," whieh never sleep on their job, carried the day. And when the insult to us was broad­ cast In big head lines and reached Has­ tings, it awakened in the liquor traffic ite characteristic venom and its agents, the saloonkeepers, were directed to' re­ open their places of degradation. They resorted to every device possible to counteract our work. Free lunches, music and gambling attractions during all hours of tho day end every day of the Week. Insults were heaped upon our workers. Mra. Bailey’s house was sprayed with blue ink accompanied with a threat that “if she did not de­ sist" her shade trees would be girdled. Mrs. Daniel Striker’s beautiful horns was also sprayed and tho Methodist and Presbyterian churches likewise. Although greatly disappointed by the traitorous enactions of our legislature, the W. C. T. U. continued with unebated zeal and organized Unions throughout the county. At Coats Grove we found Mrs. Judge Barnum and her husband most loyal helpers. Then came later the presidential elec­ tion of 1884, Grover Cleveland demo­ cratic candidate and James G. Blaine, tho republican. The republicans now realizing that the W. C. T. • U., under the leadership of Frances Willard, were fast becoming a recognized power, sought the eloquence of J. Ellen Foster, who was one of the our national workers, to secure the endorsement of W. C. T. U. in behalf of said party, Aad we were told later that a check of •1,000 waited her success.

If you are obliged to start life as most boys and girls are, you will take a position of some kind in some­ body’s office, factory, shop, or on somebody’s farm. You will then begin the process of “working up.” Your promotion will depend upon three or four things-— first, upon your ability to do your work intelligently and well—second, upon your capacity for carrying responsibility—and, third, upon your initiative—your power to go ahead without being constantly super­ vised and directed. If you can do only the things that anybody else can do, clearly your earnings will be small, because the simpler the work and the less preparation required for it, the pooler the compensation. Now if you depend altogether upon your native ability and your industry for your promotion after you get your position, in case you CAN get one, you will find your upward progress to be very slow because you will be obligated to learn while you earn.

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 WHI TE LILY FLOUR will furnish your family more delicious bread, biscuits and pastries than any other flour you can buy. “French’s Flour Makes Good Cooks’’ Efficiency should always prevail in the home as well as in business.

We are glad the Women's Club hhs Authorities It’s Good Bniiness Is any person privileged to do what he plcews! Has one the right to live one’s own life in one’s own wayl You hear many assert in these days, that to develop a real personality, one must have the right to live his own life in his own wny. This all sounds very appealing, ewpe cially to young people who have an in­ herent desire for liberty of action and thought. But the question ia: How will it end! Just what tho end of that kind of an ideal for one’s life will be would be well illustrated if one were to visit the Cook county jail in Chi cago right now. In that jail one would find Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard ▲. Loeb, two Chicago young mhn, each 19 yean at age. They are the sons of very wealthy parents, whose combined fortunes will aggregate 825,000,000, it is said. These young men had every opportunity that money could buy—fine homes, a splen­ did schooling, every possible social privilege and ad vantage, and have been supplied with ample funds to gratify every needed pleasure. Young Loeb graduated a year ago from the MichiGn university and had tho honor of beJ tho youagost graduate ever sent out from that institution. Leopold at­ tended the same university, but did not complete his course. It is said that neither one ever got a mark below B at Ann Arbor, and moat of the markinga ware A, representing tho highest scholarship. They had brilliant minds. Binco their attendance at Ann Arbor, they have been studying at the Chica­ go university taking special courses, Leopold taking up the law and Loeb specializing in history. Both were al­ ways regarded in both universities as excellent students, having unusually brilliant minds. Yet these two young men are held in a Chicago jail, charged with the com­ mission of one of the most diabolical, eruel crimes that can be conceived. Both have acknowledged their guilt of at least one murder, >o revolting in its details, so heartless and m premodi are veritable fiends. It would be Interesting if one could know just where and whan the minds of these two precocious youths began to take the slant which led inevitably to crime. They belonged to a Chicago society of "Intelligentsia." The mean­ ing of this society is that its members consider that there is no such thing as a moral standard; that there is no human convention or regulation that its members are legally or morally bound to observe. They assume the right to live their own lives in their (Continued oa page I.) taken up. this matter and hope the The writer was very interested in no Council wiR eo-operate with them. ticiag a page advertisement in the Cos mopoliun magazine for April, 1924 whieh was made by the Metropolita: SEPTIC TANKS WILL BE Life Insurance Company of New York REQUIRED BY STATE the biggest life insurance company ii the world.

Monday noon, a touring ear, filled with young men, earne tearing up Church street, never even slowing up as they approached Green street. Several citi­ zens witnessed this performance which ia only one of the many violations that happen at this same corner every day. This utter disregard of all traffic regulations will inevitably result in a bad accident one of these days, caus­ ing needless suffering and expense. The best plan ia to observe the traffic rules and be on the side of safety and good citizenship, for surely no one can be called a good' citizen who deliberately disobeys any law of the community.

Txiuis, Mo., was the suceeaaful bid­ der for the construction of the new post office in Hastings. His bid was for 564,089. This includes the build­ ing. plumbing, heating and wiring. The government limited to 868,000 the above costs for the building, leav­ ing the balance for furniture and fix­ tures for the office. It will be seen that the contract price is almost 84/XX) below the government limit, which will leave that much more to be used in making very complete the interior of this building. The contract price does not include the electrical fixture* nor 1 any of the furniture and fixture* for the building. 1 The size of the new postoffice ia to bn 55x79. The wall below the first story is to be of sandstone. Th* build­ ing itself is to be of brieh, with naieete-i facing brick for the outside, cor­ nices to be of sandstone. A* compared with the new Windstorm building, this one will contain 545 more square feet. The approach will be made of granite, and the building itself will be a fin* one for a eity of thia size. At the present time Mr. Lundberg is constructing a postoffice building in Midland. The’ 'contract for the Has­ tings building stipulates that it must bo completed and ready for occupancy within twelve months from the date when the contract was aedepted by tho government, whieh was oa June 10, 1924. A penalty of 825.00 per day must l>o paid by the contractor for every day in excess of tho time limit fixed by the government. In all prob­ ability the building will be ready by June 10, 1925. It will be a fine addition to the publie buildings of this eity.

And though Grace had never met Uncle Ed, she already had cause to be grateful to him, since the bouse they lived in was his wed­ ding gift, without which their mar­ riage would- have been indefinitely de­ layed.

"You —you—tasty—old—glutton!” she said, distinctly, and left the room. Lionel fallowed, after a suitable Interval. He found her packing her trank. "What's that for, Grace?" he asked, with husbandly authority. “I’m leaving you, so you can enjoy Uncle Ed's society,'’ she retorted.

To make such a fuss over a criticism on your cooking!” “It'S ridiculous to make a fuss over such a disgusting uncle! A perfect pig of an uncle, whose chief worry Is what to put In his stomach 1" “He's been awfully good to us. He’s given us the house we live In." “With him Inside of it, I'm afraid I can't summon up any feeling of grati­ tude," she flung back. “Well, you'll have to apologize to him." “Lionel Strange,” said Grace, her eyes flashing, “don't you talk to me like that! Hell apologize to me, and you, too, or else you’ll stay here to­ gether, precious pair of relations that you are, and keep house by yourselves.

Abstractedly he heard a train whistle in the distance. Grace threw a few more things Into her trunk. Lionel caught her bands and drew her to him. “Grace, darling. I'll see what can be done about Uncle Ed. I'll speak to him today, ni—" Grace, with outward reluctance and Inward delight, forgave her husband, and the two went downstairs to seek Uncle Ed. But Uncle Ed was nowhere to be found. Instead, a note was discovered on the library table, which told them that the departing train had carried Unde Ed along with It, on bis Way to Africa. He apologised for being IBtempered and Ill-mannered, saying that life in the wilds made one unfit for civilized society.. Would they please forgive a grumpy old bachelor who wished them nothing but happiness? 'Lionel looked at Grace, and Grace looked at Lionel, who kissed her rap­ turously, "Poor Unde Ed I" said Grace "I’m sorry 1" And the little ship, now clear of trouble, sailed on, with fair weather ana a totooth st*.

The title to the name of Al Raschld the Inst la sullied by his extirpation of the generous, perhaps tbe Innocent, Bermecldea. Yet he could listen to the complaint of a poor widow who had been pillaged by hla troops, who dared, from a passage in the Koran, to threaten the inattentive despot with the Judgment of God and posterity; Al Raschld was the third sultan of the line of Ambascldes. He was a contemporary of Charlemagne, tn whom he sent an embassy with a present of a famous dock, which, when put In motion by means of a clepsydra, pointed out the hours, struck then) by dropping little belli on a bell or drums, and caused little doors to open, and ■ number of knights on horseback to come out as cor­ responded with the hours. He was last of the caliphs who made a pil­ grimage to Mecca, and he visited the prophet's shrine eight different times. He reigned A. D. 780 to 805. The meaning of the word caliph Is •‘successor or vicar," Indicating the claims of tbe sultan to be the sue cessor of Mohammed, and hence, tn r more exalted sense, the vicar of God.

It appears that John Tokoly, of Pana, Illinois, sold liquor which contained a percentage of wood alcohol at his soft <f) drink parlor in that city. As a result of drinking this stuff, five men died. He was tried for murder and tho jury convicted him of that offense. He appealed to the Supreme Court of Illi­ nois, who have just handed down their decision affirming the degiskta Ii’Chris­ tian county, Illinois, where the trial was held which gave Tokoly a life sentence upon his convictioa of murder. Instances are numerous where indi­ viduals have suffered blindness or near­ ly complete paralysis ns a result of drinking moonshine or "white mule." From the decision of Illinois, which was affirmed by the Supreme Court of that state, it is evident that anyone who peddles liquor that produces such serious results ean expeet very serious consequences for themselves; and they surely deserve it. proximately 4,000,000 boxes, which was about half the pre-war figure of 8,000,000 boxes.

These “Welshmen” (foreigners), as the English call them, or Cymru as they call themselves, are not only dif­ ferent from the English In language, customs, religious life, culture, In fact. In all that goes to make up national personality, but are actually more widely sundered from yielr English neighbors than are either the Soots to the north of them or the Irish to the farther west.—Alfred EL Zlmmern la the Century Magazine.

There la no OLD CUSTOMS STILL IN USE Certain Articles Must Bo Presented to the King of England as In Ancient Days. We (the people of England) pride ourselves that we are governed by a constitutional sovereign and that the eld heresy of the divine right of kings to govern wrongly has been exploded and Is not likely to be set up again. Yet occasionally we are reminded of an Incident or custom which carries ua back to the days of feudalism. For Instance, the feudal quit rent for a plot of land in Shropshire, grant­ ed to the city of London In 1211 by King John. It consists of a new "hatchet a new billbook and two fag­ gots. These articles must be presented to the king every year by tite city cor­ poration, and it la a fact that the two faggots are solemnly chopped In pieces by the city solicitor at the law courts In the presence of various high offi­ cials. The “chips,” together with hatchet and billbook, are handed to the king's remembrancer. This ceremony is preceded by an­ other of a similar character, for six lioraeshoee and slxty-one nails are handed to the king's representative. They represent the rent for the plot of ground now occupied by the law courts. This plot was occupied at oae time by a furrlgr, whose duty It was to shoe the horses of the knights who fought In the tournaments held doss at hand. King George’s feudal status Is even more marked In the Channel Islands. When the sovereign visited Guernsey some time ago the seigneurs knelt before him. They placed their bands between his end recited tbe oath of homage In Nor­ man French, while the king, reading from a card held by the queen, con­ firmed each seigneur in his privileges. The holder of one fief was a woman who, fur the lend she held, presented tbe king with a pair of golden spurs.— London Tlt-Blta.

The world’s most successful business men did not accumulate their fortunes in a day. Without one single excep­ tion, as far as we know, they all started out in life by saving something every week or month. Slowly they accumulated a little “nest egg,” and then when opportunity knocked at their doors they were ready to take advantage of it. * SAVING MONEY It not an eaty thing to do because we all see so many chances to spend it. There’s an old saying that “you can’t eat your cake and have it." It’s just the same way with your money. You can’t spend it and save it at the same time. In order to save you must do without, some things you would like to have—but things you can get along without just as well. GET THE HABIT Of saving a part of your weekly or monthly salary and depositing it in this bank. We will pay you 3 per cent, compounded twice each year. As your savings grow you’ll be surprised how rapidly the interest accumulates. Saving is the time-tried and proven foundation of success; it’s the assurance of an old age free from the pangs and sorrows that poverty brings. Why not commence systematic saving today? Why not you? Hundreds have started with us. Hastings National Bank The Only National Bank in Barry County something that is not liquid, and there­ fore is not easily convertible into cash. No wealthy man’s estate can be turned into cash in a short time without seri­ ous shrinkage of values; and no system of taxation of undivided profits could result in anything but harm to indus­ trial institutions, which are the very life of our country, which employ our labor and keep business going. Buch a policy would be violently de­ structive and Senator Jones, of New Mexico, or any other senator who sets about doing such a work, lends himself to a project that would jeopardize the industrial future* of the United States, and set us back for decades in our in­ dustrial progress.

Directors, employes, and shareholders are moved by one ambition—to make this Company great in its ability to serve the community. F It was the furtherance of this ambition which caused the Management to take steps to se­ cure a wide distribution of shares in this Company. To do this it was necessary to get the price per share down to a point where in­ vestors of moderate means would find the stock attractive. This was accomplished by distributing the working surplus among the shareholders, as a stock dividend, and reduc­ ing the par value from $100 to $25. Today the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is owned by 48,016 shareholders—12,135 of whom are employes; and 13,253 are women — no single shareholder owns as much as 6% of the total stock and the price per share at this writing is $57.00. Among the larger shareholders are many edu­ cational and philanthropic institutions who depend upon the dividends derived from their holding in this Company to carry on certain phases of their work. y 'For example, we cite the Rockefeller Founda­ tion and the General Educational Board whose ' activities extend to all parts of the world, bet­ tering the living conditions for millions, lessen­ ing the burdens of the afflicted, enlightening the youth, and expanding the educational facilities of the world. The service rendered to society by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is of a broad and varied nature.

LOCATES FIRES ON SHIPS Smoke Detector, Invented by Briton Used to Find Flames Before They Become Dangerous. An Ingenious device for detectin. and locating fires on ships at sea i» embodied In the Rich smoke detector an English Invention. Pipes, communicating with all parti of the vessel, are led into • glass Inclosed chamber In which a vacuum pump is constantly at work, thus draw­ ing air from every part reached by the pipes. Should a fire start at an,' point, the smoke Is drawn Into the chamber; a beam of light crosses above the pipes, against which the smoke Is plainly visible. The pipes are numbered, so that the observer knows Instantly where the fire Is by noting from which pipe the smoke emerges. Below the vacuum chamber is a system of levers which control three-way valves; each lever controls a valve feeding a part of the ship corresponding to the numbering of the pipes. By pulling a lever steam is forced Into the part which is burn­ ing, effectually quenching tho blaze before'ft reaches dangerous proper Hong. When ships are heavily loaded It la often difficult to get at a fire, and fre­ quently the flames get under full head­ way before they are discovered. With the use uf the Rich detector a blase can be put out literally before ft starts.—Kansas Cky Star. He'd Say It Wit. '!

The astonishing effects sometimes produced by cloudbursts are wen known, but not many trustworthy records of the depth of the rainfs 11 during such occurrences exist. The following Instance, therefore, pos­ sesses much interest. On August ft during a thunderstorm in tho FIJI Islands, the .measured depth of tha rainfall In a gauge elevated twentyfive feet above the ground was 3 feet and 1 Inch. The rain continued thirteen hours, and owing to unmeas­ ured overflow, the total amount re­ mains unknown, but It Is estimated to have been not leas than forty-ooo Tune in; tune in; oh, friends of mine, Prepare for pleasant days; Tune in; tune in; and you will have My voire upon the waves. There’ro joyful days in store for you, That eome but to a few; You’ll have the jolliest time of your life If all of my dreams eome true, i'll take you, friends, yes, everyone, To the lofty mountain tops; We'll drink from fountains bubbling there, We’ll rest upon the roeks. We'll gaze on smoky, dreamy clouds, We’ll wateh the eagle soar; We’ll listen to the wild, wild waves Pound on old friendship's shore. I'll lead you to the silvery stream That flows in northern lauds; We'll catch the polka-dotted trout That's marked by golden bands. We’ll follow winding, twisting trails, That lead to inland seas; We’ll listen to the warbling birds In bush, and branch, and trees. With friendship’s ties, and sunny skies, And breezes blowing fair, We’ll pluck wild flowers in sylvan dells I know are blooming there. Tune in, tunc in, oh, friends of mine, Hear the words I say to you: Let’s live for love, for peace, and joy, Until life's journey’s through. Listen! listen! listen in— I hope my words ring true— You’re in for the happiest days of your life If what I drcam is true. I’ve built a ship, a great big ship, It soon will leave the ways; I ask you all to clamber in And glide on life’s fsir waves. I’ll take the wheel, I’ll steer the ship. Wo’ll circle round the world; We’ll all tune in for the joy it brings, With friendship’s flag unfurled. It is ono pleasant, happy thought, When we are getting old; That on this earth true friends we've got That ean’t be bought with gold. Last night I dreamed—it seeemed so real— It was so sweet and clear; It makes me think today—and feel You all are with me here. Tune in! tune in! oh, friends so dear, Both near and far away; Cateh my last words I say to you Upon the waves today. "I’ll load you down with gold and gems— Nor is that all I’ll do— I'll erown you, friends, with diadems, If all my dreams come true." —V. D. Andrews. He Could Hold Them.

It is because more time and more pains are given to making it, and because we have the best equipment for do­ ing the work. 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 he made and we are glad to back it up with our guarantee. 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 year* ago and they are still using FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR and will have no other. The reason it satisfies is because of its superior quality.

In this respect resemblance to President Coolidge the “®’s” was omitted—it was quite his impossible to tell which. In a way it’s is marked. It is an excellent pair. The evident purpose of the Cleve­ too bad too, that the real word could not have been definitely known, be­ land convention was to make the cause tho little youngsters are apt to Republican party a conserving force be so truthful ia expressing an opinion, for keeping all that experience ha* and for that reason is quite apt to be proven to be the best in our American type of government, .and to develop about right. new activities that will be in harmony with the spirit of American institu­ BANNEB WANT ADS PAY tions. The aim of President Coolidge will be to preserve the balance in the*goverment provided by our Constitution; in other words, to maintain constitu­ tional government. A serious threat against that form of government is being made by Senator La Follette and his followers in their demands that tho Supreme Court of the United States shall practically cease to function as a department of govern­ ment. Tho President and the Supremo CHART Court would become nonentities, and congress would practically be every thing. This would be really a rever­ sion to an oligarchy, with a few forceful men like LaFollette, at its head. The most dangerous proposition ever brought up in the history of this government is that urged by Senator LaFollette, that congress, and not tho Supreme Court, shall be the judge of tho constitutionality of its own acts; that if the Supremo Court shall declare any law passed by congress to be un­ constitutional, that congress shall have the power to re-enact that law and make it constitutional by simply passing it again. God help the people of America if the Supreme Court, the bulwark of their rights, be destroyed. His other aim is to do away with party government. Anyone who thinks will realise that you cannot have a constitutional form of government as the Fathers provided for the United States except with two opposing po­ litical parties, each standing for defi­ nite but opposing principles, each going before the people upon its platform of principles, and the party which wins given the opportunity to try out its principles. If they work they stand. If they do not, a change can be made at the succeeding election. President Coolidge will uphold tho Constitution as the Fathers developed itt and as experience has modified it through the nineteen amendments. president Coolidge has set himself to 'jhe task, urgently needing to be done, of reducing the burdens of tax­ ation.in this country. That ia why he vetoed* the*-Bursum bill; that is why he vetoed the bill to add 868,000,000.00 yearly to the expense of carrying on the postal service; that is why ho has Insisted upon having every reduction possible made in the expense of gov­ ernment; that ia why we have more than 100,000 fewer employees in tho government than we had four years ago. Everybody knows that with cor­ porations, as with individuals, taxation becomes a part of tho expense of busi­ ness and ia passed on and others pay it in the form of higher charges for pro­ ducts ort services. Therefore, when taxation can bo reduced, tho eowt of service and of products will be lower. And that is what wo need in thia coun­ try, lower living costs, and we eannot get them until taxation can be mater­ ially reduced. Wo have a bonded debt of over 822,000,000,000.00. It has been reduced over two and ono-half billions in tho last four years. It should be reduced, and if President Coolidge shall be elected it will bo re­ duced, to even a greater extent in the future. But it will be reduced, not by adding new taxes upon tho people, but by enforcing the most rigid ecomony in government. Another thing that will unquestion­ ably characterize the Coolidge admin­ istration, if he shall be successful, ill be an insistence upon respect for 5$ So*f 34«» Far Correct Grade consult chart at all Bey USCO Coni, from BURDETT LICHTY COOLIDGE AND DAWES Standard Oil Service Station* Another thing that hie administra­ tion will stand for will be a sane par­ ticipation in world affairs. America, if Coolidge shall bo the President, will not enter tho League of Nations, but it will participate in the World Court, which will pass upon all international disputes and endeavor to settle them peaceably. Ho will unquestionably call another council of nations with a view to very large reductions in expendi­ tures for army, navy, air craft and other war-like preparations. President Coolidge will be like Roosevelt in hi* insistence upon the “square deal for all” without fear and without favor. With sueh a level-headed statesman as Coolidge at the head of this nation, and with such a man aa Charles O. Dawes as Vice President, there ean be no question about tho progress of this country. It will be a sane and safe progress—not a wild and woolly experi­ ment, sueh aa Senator LaFollette would urge—but well considered efforts to secure tangible results that will help all the people. We believe this ticket will be strong­ er with the voters aa election day approachej. BAMMBB WABT AM PAT PART THREE NORTHWEST ASSYRIA. Last week’s letter. Mr. and Mrs. Zeno Lyons entertained Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Trabold of Kewgarden, N. Y., on Sunday and Mon­ day, who were stopping over at Post Tavern. Battle Creek, on a motor trip from N.

Economy in buying doesn't mean buying the cheapest in price, for the cheapest goods are often the dearest. It doesn’t mean spending money so that you’ll get the biggest returns for your dollar. If you buy a hammer for 50 cents, for example, and it nicks and chips off and the head loosens up so that it’s out of commission in a couple of years, it would have been real economy to have paid $1.50 for a tool that would have lasted a life time. Or you might buy a gray Enameled Preserving Kettle for 50 cents that would stand up for two or three years. How much more you would get for your money were you to pay $1.00 and get a utensil that would be giving good service 25 yean from now.

The principal venomous snakes 1b Ala country are rattlesnakes, vipers, ropperheads and moccasins. Vend* tnous snakes have teeth on their up­ per palate, not on the upper jaw. On Inch side of the upper Jaw two hollow, backward-curving fangs have poison {lands at their base, and pressure on the fangs causes an emission of the poison. The fangs are shed at regular intervals—pushed out by incipient tangs. Caph Reginald Haselden. an expert •n medieval manuscripts sad a trainer M snakes on the side, says snakes poslesa no charming power. He believe* however, that the staring lldless eyes of snakes may antosuggestively put a parson into a »rt af hynotlc trance. It seems to have been conclusively established that the number of rattles on a rattlesnake's tall have nothing to do with the age of the snake.—Detroit BIG PIANO SALE. For 10 days only.

There is not, and there has not been at any time, any quarantine against any person or person* coming into Hastings from outside to trade, or to transact any other business, or visit any persons they please. They would naturally not visit Mr. Ed. Prichard when there is a' smallpox sign upon his house. The only thing that has been forbidden hl Hartings, since Ed. Prichard came down with smallpox, has been that no one was permitted to at­ tend any publie gathering in the city unless that one eould show a vaccinatioU eard. In view of the fact that practically eveirbody in Hastings ha.* now been vaccinated, even this pro hibitiun has been withdrawn. 2. There is not, and there has not been at any time, but one single case of smallpox in this city—that of Ed. Prichard. His csae is not one of black smallpox as reported, and is not con­ sidered a severe ease. 3. Every person has been vaeeinted who has been with or near Mr. Prich­ ard before his ease was declared to be smallpox and after he had had tho ehill, which was five days before the eruptions appeared on his face. There is not believed to be any danger of any new cases from asy of these. The doctors believe that all danger from thut source has been guarded against. NUMBERS I ARCTIC CO.’S GRAND LEDGE THE FACTS ABOUT THE SMALL­ It would bo natural that some rumors would get abroad with reference to smallpox in Hastings that were not founded on fact; but we will admit that we were not prepared for the wild and woolly reports circulated in soma of the territory adjacent to this city. In one locality people wer* called over the telephone and told that there were nine new ease* of smallpox reported here Saturday morning! Another man did the Paul Revere stunt of jumping on his horse and going about the neigh­ borhood and warning everyixxly tu keep away from Hastings, saying that the Board of Health had forbidden any­ body to come here to trade or for any other purpose, and that there wore wires stretched across the roads to keep people from getting into town! A wo­ man telephoned to a shoe dealer in Has­ tings stating that she wanted to get a pair of shoes of a certain make, and asked thia dealer to arrange to have the shoes sent to her from the factory so she would not bo obliged to come to town and run the terrible risk of contracting smallpox! Anything more ridiculous than these statements could hardly be imagined. To settle all ru­ mors with regard to tho smallpox sit­ uation, in Hastings, the BANNER gives the following u the exact facts with reference thereto: ff 4. There never has been in the his­ tory of this eity such a wonderful re­ sponse to an appeal for vaccination a* has occurred since official warnings wore issued Friday mornnig. The BAN­ NER printed 4,500 vaccination cards for the eity Board of Health. They are practically all used now. A good many persons had been vaccinated be­ fore the card* were given out. Health Officer Holly believe* thnt, leaving out little children who do not get away from their homes, over 95 per cent of tho people of Hastings, five years old or over, have already been vaccinated. With such a record tho chances for more eases of smallpox arc very re­ mote. Tho doctors feel that the dan­ ger of a smallpox epidemic is prac­ tically endod. 5. We have hoard some criticism of the doctors, who were charged by these erities with magnifying the danger of this disease because of only a single case of it. It must be admitted that if the doctor* had planned deliberate­ ly to “throw a scare’’ into Hastings, they rarely succeeded. But we believe that if they made any mistake, the er­ ror was on the right side. We do not believe it was a mistake to urge peo­ ple to protect themselves and the eity against such a terrible scourge as small(Continued on page five) ONE CASE OF SMALL Loss $100,000 — Damaged POXINHASTNGS Portion Will Be Rebuilt PLANT DAMAGED BY FIRE at Once On Friday night the Grand Ledge HEALTH OFFICER HOLLY plant of the Arctic Dairy Products ACTS PROMPTLY — ALT.

G- At the foot of Mount Washington, in New Hampshire, may bo seen a small shed that contains one of the moat re­ markable high-pressure pumping plant* anywhere. A single engineer, who acts as fireman, caretaker and oiler, operates the plant. It ’•squeezes” water to a height of 8.725 feet, against a pressure o! 2.250 pounds to the square Inch, from the base of the mountain te tlie summer hotel at the peak of Mount Washington. It Is difficult to comprehend such ■ pressure without a medium of com parison. The high-preasure system of New York's Are department, with SOU pounds to the square inch, which will throw water over even the 700-foot Woolworth building, is insignificant bo side it. The pressure of a harnessed Niagara Falls, or any of the numerous Irrigation and power plant projects of the West, has about the some ratio to the weight of that column of water from the top to the base of Mount Washington as th» force within a soda water bottle has to yonr local water supply. If the Mount Washington pumps were deprived of tb.elr duties at the foot of tho mountain and connected Instead to a turbine Intake pipe at Niagara or to the hlgh-preaouro Are lines of New York, they would pump 25 gallons a minute into the pipes against the 900 or 400 pounds praa■uro encountered.

PHONE 2110 HASTINGS Tho value of having a big num nt the head of tho treasury of the United States is shown by what Secretary Mellon is doing with tho public debt. Until ho became Secretary of the Treasury, ho was hardly known out­ side of the city of Pittsburgh and a few of the big financial men of the country. Andrew Mellon is a keen Scotchman, with proverbial Scotch honesty, integrity and thrift. No one accusss him of ever having stooped to any dishonorable business transactions in his lifetime. He has made his im­ mense fortune, said to bo the third largest in this country, by methods which no one would question any more than they would question Henry Ford ’a. It is a fortunate thing for the United States when such a man as that is willing to give up his personal affairs and devote all his time and attention to public affairs, especially to help save our national finances from the chaos in which they had become involved as a result of America's participation in the World war. It a quite masterful way, Mr. Mel­ lon brought order out of chaos, and in three years after ho became Secretary of the Treasury has reduced 'the na­ tional debt $2,500,000,000. The surplus government revenue amounts to $400,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1924. This, together with the pay­ ment of the interest on England's in­ debtedness to us, will cut down the United States debt for the month of June over $440,000,000, and will mean that a saving of $22,000,000 a year in annual interest alone will be affected thereby for the benefit of the American people.

The Hastings Board of Health acted promptly when tho one case of smallpox wan discovered here. They did not attempt to cover anything nor hide the facts. They took prompt and vigorous action to protect tho farmers outside ns well as tho citizens of Has­ tings. They havo believed that prompt, open and direct action was the best any. Tho citizens nnd business men have co-operated. The business men put the warning signs in their store windows, nnd tho factory managers in their factories. This was done to pro­ tect tho people living in the vicinity of Hastings ns well ns those living in town. The result of this prompt ac­ tion is that over 95 per cent of the poo- . •pie of Hastings arc now vaccinated. That’s the best kind of protection; and . that’s a record that cannot bo dupli­ cated in nny other city or rural com­ munity in this state. Contrast this with Detroit nnd Lansing, Jnckson and other towns. Not a word in the news­ papers of nny one of them about the smnHpox situntion in those places. We believe that Hastings offirinh and citi­ zens nre entitled to credit for not at­ tempting to conccnl the facts, nod for the record of over 95 per cent vaccina­ tions right now.

The world's most successful business men did not accumulate their fortunes in a day. Without one single excep­ tion, as far as we know, they all started out in life by saving something every week or month. Slowly they accumulated a little “nest egg,” and then when opportunity knocked at their doors they were ready to take advantage of it. SAVING MONEY Is not an easy thing to do because we all see so many chances to spend it. There’s an old saying that "you can’t eat your cake and have it.’’ It’s just the same way with your money. You can’t spend it and save it at the same time. In order to save you must do without some things you would like to have—but things you can get along without just as well. GET THE HABIT Of saving a part of your weekly or monthly salary and depositing it in this bank. We will pay you 3 per cent, compounded twice each year. As your savings grow you'll be surprised how rapidly the interest accumulates. Saving is the time-tried and proven foundation of success; it’s the assurance of an old age free from the pangs and sorrows that poverty brings. Why not commence systematic saving today? Hundreds have started with us. Why not you?. .. .diJj Hastings National Bank The Only National Bank in Barry County Phone 2217 Hastings, {Michigan IBVINO. H. J.

AAAX TIBES The Lesson of Economy Tbe principle of conservation, through efficient management and rigid economy is so ingrained in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as to be fundamental to the operation of this business. Years ago, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) learned that the only way to keep a big business on a thoroughly efficient plane is to plug up the small leaks. Accordingly, painstaking attention was given to ways and means of overcoming wasteful details, unimportant and Inexpensive in themselves, but taken as a whole assuming enormous proportions. r The practice of economy is thoroughly grounded in the personnel of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and has profoundly in­ fluenced the activities of the Company. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is the unquestioned pioneer of conservation methods in the oil business. Back of every important innovation made by this Company stand these questions: "Does this change improve the quality and service?—Does it effect a saving?” For example, the famous Burton Cracking Process now in general use was originated to conserve the supply of petroleum—to produce a greater percentage of gasoline from crude oil without in any way affecting the quality of lubricating oils ana other primary products. The Burton Cracking Process has increased largely the yield of gasoline from a barrel of crude, thereby exerting a marked influence in keeping the price of gasoline low. .* Conservation led to the erection of farms of steel tanks—to insure a constantsupply of crude petro­ leum—to enable the refiner to reduce his cost by continuous operations — to store the finished product without undue loss from evaporation. Conservation again was back of the establish­ ment of pipe lines, because they were the most economical method of transporting oil. The conservation idea Jed finally to the vast distribution system which covers the ten Middle Western States and carries petroleum products from the refineries of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to farms, factories and individual users, everywhere. The practice of economy and conservation has been a potent force in developing the splendid system which this Company offers to the thirty million people of the Middle West LONG BEACH. CLEAR LAKE.

Good Cows Produce 8,000 to 10,000 per year The Best Cow Produced 33,000 lbs. of Milk per year Are Your Cows Good, Average or Poor? UNITED STATES TIR.ES AKE GOOD TIKE FABRIC TIRES 30x3 and 30x314 inch OR many years the USCO Fabric has been the stand­ ard of value in a fabric tire. F Approximately 3,492,000,000 pounds of milk were produced in Michi­ gan by 870,000 cows. This gives an average annual production per cow of about 4,000 pounds of milk. Eight or ten years ago our state Dairy and Food department estimated that the average Michigan cow produced about 3,600 pounds of milk an­ nually. While the number of cows and pounds of milk have increased enormous­ ly, apparently the kind of poor cows we are keeping has remained much the same, only we have a lot more of them. , When we realize that one cow has produced over 33,000 pounds of milk in one year and that there are thou­ sands or good cows in Michigan producing from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds, what must ist a lot of our poor cows be doing to pull the average down to 4,000 pounds? It’s a better tire today for the light-car owner than a cheap cord of unknown make. And the tragedy of this is that a lo t of good folks own these leu-than-average cows, and are trying to pay taxes and live on the profits that their worse than worthless cows can never make. Costs less and gives more. Careless indifference on the part o f the owner is the only reason why so many of these penalty exacting cows continue to exist. The USCO Fabric will give you a lot of tire service for the money ism* !• Hundreds of our patrons own this kind of cows. You doubtless own some unless you are absolutely sure that you don’t. Th?re was never a better time to start replacing them. Buy V. S. Tfrex from l BURDETT LICHTY Arctic Dairy Products Company HASTINGS, MICHIGAN « �Order Your COAL NOW!

We have proven, time after time, that it will wash a tub full of clothes in from THREE to FIVE MINUTES -that it can be used constantly without the assistance of washboards.

Barry county‘lost one of if* oldest resident* and a pioneer in the death of Horace E. Ludlow, who passed away at tho home of hi* daughter, Mra. Geo. Nagler, June 10. Mr. Ludlow wn* born in White Lake Township, Oakland Co., Jan. 30, .1838. When only seven years of age, ho, with his parents, moved to Carlton Township, Barry County, and nearly all of his life ha* been spent in this vicinity. He was well acquainted with the hardship* of early piofieer life and many were the interesting talc? he told of those early days. On March 18, 1860, he wn* united in marriage with Julia A. Freeland of Carlton Township; to this union were born four daughters, who survive him, Mr*. Ella Geiger of Quimby, Mr*. Thera A. Nagler, Mr*. Morna J. Vandcriip and Mrs. Adell Rich­ ardson, all of Freeport. In 1907 tho wife and mother passed awajr and on Nov. 26, 1012 he wa* again united in marriage to Mrs. Ellen J. Perkin* of Kalamo, who mourns her low. Since hi* second mar­ riage, they have made their home in Kal­ amo during the winter and at their Gun lake cottage during the summer. Owing to his poor health, ho- with Mr*. Ludlow camo to the Nagter'bume several week* ago. Everything possible was done for him but after week* of patient suffering death conquered and a noble Christian man slipped out to be with his loved one* at the ripe old ago of 86 years, 4 month* and 11 days. At an early age Mr. Ludlow gave his heart to Christ and wa* oqc of the early mem­ ber* of the U. B. church here, remaining a true and loyal member until about eleven year* ago when he wa* trans­ ferred to the M. E. church at Kalamo where he was a faithful and much belov­ ed member at the time of his death. He was a veteran of the Civil war and was with General Sherman on his famous march to the sea. He wns a familiar figure in every Memorial Dny celebra­ tion here, not miiuring any he could possibly attend.'- The fact weighed heavily upon his mind this year that tho still among the few living, ho wa* un­ able to march with tho others. Beside* the widow and foar daughters ho is sur­ vived by nine grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, throe step chil­ dren, Harlow Perkins nnd Mrs. Leo Mar­ tin* of Bellevue and Mr*.

We know this appreciation by actual expressions—spoken and written—and by the gradual disappearance of that ancient hostil­ ity which featured an era of Railroading long past. Most people realize that Railroad Service has been re-established despite laws which restrict management in every detail—laws which add huge burdens of expense to Railroad operation without assisting in any way toward Railroad progress or the development of Railroad Service. Those who understand these facts give full credit for the achieve, meat of Michigan’s twenty-four steam Railroads and are prompt to resent selfish attacks on them. Before this defense—a defense based on facts—railroad aspersion is becoming out of date, except for spasmodic revivals at election time, when office seekers, desperately fighting for votes, sometimes endeavor to turn Railroad Railroads have small chance to meet such attacks. Railroad men are too busy furnishing transportation and conducting negotiations with the various Government boards and commissions which so closely supervise our every act. In this extremity we must rely on you to protect and defend us, and to insure us A square deal. Is this.reliance well placed?

The grading is already dona. Gravel and sand for cementing is ac­ cessible from nearby sources, so that the expense would be reduced to a minimum. The BANNER has called attention to the fact that Hastings has seven main approaches. Five of these are on trunk line highways, namely Ceme­ tery road, which is now being paved, Hanover, which is nearly paved, and which will bo finished to the eity limits this year. East State strset, which is paved nearly to the city limits. West Green street, which will require about one-half mile of paving, and North Michigan avenue and thea east to the eity limits, which will re­ quire about one mile of paving. AU the expense of paving these stretches will be borne by the state. However, it will be natural for the state to ask what the eity is doing about paving the two 'remaining ap­ proaches, for which the chy alone is responsible. These two are North Broadway to the north eity limits and East State Road street from Michi­ gan avenue to the eity limits. If these two approaches coukl be paved by the eity, there is no doubt but what the state could be induced to pave all five of the approaches that are parts of trunk lines. The grading of the North Broadway hill and the placing of the excavated\ dirt in the roadway now will give it_ ample time to settle, so that next spring work could be done under the direction of the eity engineer.

(Continued from page one.) by the Constitution against unreason­ able taxation, freedom is at an end. - The common man is restrained and hampered in his ability to secure food and clothing and shelter. His wages are decreased, his hours of labor are lengthened”. The President pointed out in most emphatic terms that he stood 'today as he always has for the strictest economy in the expenditure of the people’s money. He pointed out that the fiscal year ending June 30. 1921 expenditures amounted to over <5,000,000,000 and that the next three years under the budget system the expenditures were brought down to $3,795,000,OOO—-$3,697,000,000 and $3, 497,000,000 respectively. He pointed out that the public debt had been re­ duced <2,722,000,000 during this same period and that the saving in interest alone to the people had been more than $120,000,000 each year. The President called attention to the fact that when he met with the heads of the department that the fight for economy had but one puropae—Ahat it a benefits would accrue to the whole peoEle through reduction in taxes. Taxes nve now been reduced. “While our" immediate need is for tax reform, as distinguished from tax reduction, we must continue this campaign for econ­ omy so as to make possible further tax reduction. The relief which has recent­ ly been afforded must be only the be­ ginning.” Coolidge declared' that the government payroll must be reduced. He pointed that many things had been done in the past which were not busi­ nesslike at all. . In discussing the preliminary esti­ mates that are being prepared for the next fiscal year the President said, "For that fiscal year it will be my purpose to transmit to Congress esti­ mates of appropriations which, exclud­ ing the interest on and reduetion in the public debt, and the Postal service, will not exceed a total of <1,800/000,000. We must have no carelessness in our dealings with public property or the expenditure of public money. I am for economy. After that I am for more economy. We must give the people re­ lief from the excessive burden of taxa­ tion. Bo far as it is within my pow­ er I will not permit increases in ex­ penditures that threaten to prevent further tax reduction or that contem­ plate such an unthinkable thing as in­ crease in taxes. If with increasing business our revenues increase, such increase should not be absorbed in new ways of spending. They should be ap­ plied to the lowering of taxes. In that direction lies the public welfare.” HENDERSHOTT CORNERS. The ice cream social at Ed. Traver’s Friday evening was well attended. The proceeds were $25.

Monday the federal grand jury in Washington brought in indictments of Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, Harry F. Sinclair, president of the Sinclair Oil Co., Edward Doheny and E. L. Doheny, Jr., of the PauAmerican Oil Co. Fall and the two Doheny’s are charged with conspiracy to permit the dtabosal of the government’s California oil lands to the Pan-American Oil Co. Fall and Sinclair are charged with con­ spiracy to permit the Sinclair Oil Co. to acquire the government’s Teapot Dome oil lands in Wyoming. Two of the indicted men are repub­ licans and two are democrates, which goes to show that grafting ignores party lines. BASEBALL GAMES.

The su|H>rvjsors have reported to County Treasurer timelker that there are 1770 dogs in this county. This is an increase of 226 over tast year. Anyone who thinks this through will realize how much has been added to the tangible wealth of Barry county by this increase of 226 in tho number of its dogs. It may also be stated that there hns been an increase in tho number of sheep killed hy dogs that will more than require the additional license fees collected from this 220. When you ‘stop to figure the real value of a dog, how much variety ht adds to the life of every community,how much he cats, how much noise he makes, how much he disturbs people, how many people arc bitten by dogs, how many people arc frightened by dogs, then think of how little, good they really do, It does seem as if that would not warrant an increase of near­ ly 15 per cent in the dog population. However, this is a free country, and every citizen has the inalienable right to keep as many dogs as he dura please provided he pays the license fees and keeps his dogs on his own premises or under personal supervision if they arc not on hta premises.

For over five years he served as private secre­ tary to Commissioner Estill, when Jie was at the head of the Salvation Army forces In the United States west of the Mississippi river. In this ca­ pacity the major was closely Identified with the great program of expansion that marked the organization's activ­ ities in the United States during the decade preceding the World war. Then came consecutive four-year periods of service as general secre­ tary in the Chicago nnd Illinois and the Midland divisions. His last staff position before his new appointment was In the Northern division with Colonel Barker, who was the chief of American Salvation Army forces over­ seas In the great war. Born near Kllamey, Ireland, as a boy he came to the United States early to find his niche for- serving mankind In the Salvation Army. Con­ verted under its preaching, he entered the Salvation Army “West Point" In San Franctaco.

Roosevelt’s Tribute Afternoon Dresses SUITS and COATS State Highway Department Is Ready to Do Its Part—Up to Board of Supervisors City Attorney Cotgrove. City Engi necr Sparks nnd the Street Coni mi tire wore selected by the council Fridny evening to confer with the Board of Supervisors about paving South Han­ over street from the point where that paving ends south to the city limit*. This ought -jo. have been dong before, but it was felt the work could not be completed in time last fall, so this^ part of the paving was omitted. The Council has received word from State Highway Commissioner Roger* that the Highway Department was pre pared to complete this paving now, provided the proper action could be obtained from the Board of Super­ visors to take care of the county’s proportion of the cost. Mr. Rogers urged that thia action be tuken now so that the contractor who is doing the paving on Cemetery road and Broad­ way could complete this work while he is here. The city will also have some expense, should it be doeided to put gutter and curb in on thin extension, which really should lie done in.order to make a finished job. However, that is not an essential part of the paving at this time. It could be deferred until some future date if desired. It certainly would be wine to have thia stretch finished as soon as possible. Diet of Hummingbirds Hummingbirds afe supposed to live on the nectar of flower!

To-day, hundreds of thousands of people own stock in them, and the number ia constantly increa*ing. Thi* is true of the great U. 8. Steel Corporation, all of the' railroads, .Standard Oil, and in fact praetieally ■every great organization. Indeed it ia aaid that within a few years the em­ ployee* of the U. 8. Steel Corporation will own a controlling interest in it. Tha most notable exception ia the Ford Motor Co., which ia owned wholly by the Fvrd family. Today anyone hav­ ing the money ean buy stock in moat any corporation he wiahe* to become a member of. For thia reason any legislation that harms any great in­ dustry is very apt to hit thousand* and thousand* of other ntoek holder*. A good illustration of how widely the stoek in large corporation* is be­ ing scattered is shown by the Consum­ er* Power Co., which supplier go* and eleetrie service to Hasting* and hun­ dred* of other citie* and town* in Michigan. Only five years ago, or in -1919, the Consumers Bower Co. had but a little over 2500 stock holder* but at the close of 1923 it had nearly 15,000 holder* of stock, scattered around in 40 different state* and 12 foreign eoun’trie* nearly 6,000 new -investor* buying stock in the company during the year of 1923. Last year the Consumer* had a very satisfactory year financially, in fact the best in it* history. One very de­ sirable feature about the Consumers Power revenue is that 48 per eent of it come* from residential and commer­ cial source* and only 15 per eent from automobile and allied industries. For this reason its revenue* are not great­ ly affeeted by a damp in any particular industry. SUPERVISORS SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE PROJECT Eight Miles of M-79 Should Be Built Next Year South­ ward From Nashville The BANNER would like to eoe the supervisors at their October session Vnnke an appropriation for the coun­ ty’• part of Trunk line 79, leading eouth from Notthville, then went ward two miles and then south through Maple Grove Center to the Aaayria] town line, a total distance of eight' milra. Of course the BANNER would be glad to ace the entire line completed, but that would be too much to ex­ poet in one year. If we can get the eight miles taken care of, the remain­ ing four or five will easily be secured the following year. M-79 from Nashville south will open up one of the finest fanning aectioua of Barry eounty, and it is lo­ cated .in that part of the county that has bad the very least doos far It m the way .jgt good roads. We are not disposed t^ feel that the rest of the county is Jo blame Tor thia actuation, because we believe if the people of Maple Grove had hustled a little more they could have had some of the com­ pleted roads that other parts of the eounty obtained by going after them in a very energetic manner. But there is no reason why this lino should not be completed at a comparatively ear­ ly date. LET THEM GROW UP IN KA YNEE . The real test of your son's clothes comes at the end of a long day’s play.

Then it is that people give utterance to the vain regret and say, “Oh, If I had only saved my money when I had the chance.” You can start saving by depositing a very small amount—only a dollar or two—and add to it as rapidly as possible. You can be ''assured that when you leave your money here it will be free from every element of chance, or speculation, and it will be available for you any time you wish it. ■■i STEADY SAVING —putting away a portion of your earnings as fast as you receive it—will soon put you in possession of a snug sum, and the in­ terest we pay you eveYy SIX MONTHS is just like “finding money." It will be a start toward “Easy Street,” and where the “rainy day" has no terror. Why not start saving NOW? Why not TODAY?

David Boyes is one who by nature nnd by occupation believes in ‘'say­ ing nothing and sawing wood.” The latter part of thia injunction he carries oat faithfully, but occasionally loses sight of the former part. Fortunately for others, ho is as diligent in sawing community wood as he ia taking care of his own affairs, and many a neat pile of sawdust testifies to his efficiency as an aiderman, president of the Com­ mercial club, member of the board of hospital trustees, nnd* numerous other civic duties. Outside of a regular and enthusiastic attendance on the concate­ nations of the Hoo IIoos, Mr. Boyes has been always “right on the job.” Now he has entered on a fraternal career which he will unquestionably push with his usual vigor. An ardent sportsman, he has long aspired to an office in the select Wam­ pus club, a position only obtainable through some exceptional Nimrodic or Waltoninn feat. It will bo recalled that jealous opponents circulated a story last year that Mr. Bpyea brought back his sole deer in a suit case. David “said nothing but sawed wood.” At the re­ cent contest for Wampus club honors, it was found that the aaid suit case was stuffed, with affidavits and photographs relative to the enormous buck which feii to the unerring Boyes rifle. Bo con­ vincing were these that Mr. Boyes was unanimously chosen treasurer of the elub, with full authority to pay any and all overdrafts and enjoy the other priv­ ileges and emoluments of that honor­ able office. He promptly sold his home on Hastings street with its celebrated flow of vigor-giving iron water, and purchased a site in Oakwood where he COUNTY LINE.

The Bp4eial-81x carried away tho hon­ or* for endurance against a field of other well-known car*. The only two points scored against it were those as­ sessed because the driver, who was un­ familiar with tho rules, parposcly shut off his motor in a truffle jam. Other­ wise, it had a clean score. First prize for economy, won by the Light-Six was a large, handsome plaque, while tho endurance trophy was a beautiful silver loving cup. Both trophies were suitably inscribed. The entire course was eotcred by offi­ cials, proas representatives and ‘ ‘ check­ ers.’’ All drivers were required to chock their ears in and out at pre-de­ termined “control points,’’ each morn­ ing, noon and night. Strict A. A. A. teles governed the contest and penal­ ties were assessed for all violations. These two new records follow close on the heels of numerous equally impres­ sive road victories for stock Stude­ baker cars in Florida, California, Penn­ sylvania, South Africa, the Syrian Des­ ert and Australia. The wide Interest aroused by this economy and endurance run has influ­ enced the sponsors to establish it as an annual event. Next veer it will prob­ ably attract even a larger numbet of entries.

Tho history of the Davenport school dates back to 1866, and the McLachlan School to 1893.

Tho - annual enrollment of the two schools is about 1200 and near­ ly 700 students can be accommodated at one time in the two- building*. It is planned later to house the entire institute in a new college building, provided either by enlarging the pres-’ ent building on Sheldon Avenue, or selling that building nnd erecting a new structure on another site. It ia planned to give advanced courses in accounting, business administration and secretarial -taaining, enabling young people to complete a regular four-year course in two calendar year*.

' aaox tibes 15.6 of 100 ’HE true relationship which gasoline cost bears to the other expenses, inci­ dent to the operation of an automo­ bile, is interesting and surprising. It has been computed by Oil and Gas Journal that, on the average, the motorist of the United States pays $900.00 for a car. The same authority states that tak­ ing into account all the fixed items of annual expense incident to the operation of an automobile—including depreciation, interest on investment, insurance, li­ censes and taxes — gasoline costs only 15.6% of the total. Other authorities bring this expense down to as low as 10% of the total. While gasoline is a major factor in the operation of a car, the expense, when com­ pared to the whole, is of minor importance. We believe that this is due in targe meas­ ure to the advanced work of the Standard Oil the yield 6f gasoline____ available, has kept the price of this prod­ uct within the reach of all. Without the processes originated and Without the distribution system main­ tained today by the petroleum industry, initiated and expanded by this Company, touring would be impractical. It is due in large measure to the initiative, skill and resourcefulness of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), that motoring has been taken out of the sphete of the "rich­ man's sport” and that it has been made possible for the man of modest means to take his family and get out into the fresh air and suiishine.

Arts and Crafts In ernft work the girls arc progress­ ing rapidly, especially in the making of reed baskets. Through the kind­ ness of Mrs. E. F. Pratt, tho more difficult work has been carried on, while the simpler weaving has been supervised by Mac Keller. It has been surprising to see whnt .nice work may bo accomplished in so short a time. Work with raffia is just begin­ ning. Another phase of arts nnd crafts work which the girls especially enjoy is dramatics, tnught by Mis* Violette Cushman. These classes arc held every day and the talent found is niado known to the cniup at the Coun­ cil fire in the form of story telling. Assembly. All tho girls in camp have a daily assembly nt nine thirty. The first few minutes is demoted to camp-rang* under tho leadership of Marjorie Woodburne. Miss Bernico Creascr has charge of the devotional exorcises, which come directly after tho singing. During this hour also we receive the report of tent inspection. The tent winning the prize has tho privilege of raising *4 flag the next morning. After the three inspections so fnr Mac Keller’s tent has a total of thirty points while Mis* Marion Crcnscr’s tent is a close second with twenty-nine points. Athletics The one activity which all the girls enter with vitn is the athletics includ­ ing swimming, base ball and basket ball. With our instructor, Corleone Newton, every one is learning how to swim, while Miss Hailwood has charge of tho more advanced swimmers. All nro practicing for the water carnival which is to be held on the last day of camp. The baseball teams have proven a success as is shown l»y the close games that have been played. Two strung teams were chosen with Katharine Pritchard and . Fern Wolfo as captains. A fine game Was played with' the final score of in the latter's favor. Basket ball proved equally as inter­ esting. Shortly after their arrival tent No. 0 <fhose for their name Un-afada. It has a meaning but an explanation here would bo too lengthy. They also chose for their mascot Buster, a fine young colt, belonging h) the Lindsey farm. Buster is very tame and a great pe.t about the camp. Tent 0 is occu­ pied. by Miss Marion Creascr, counsel­ lor, the Misses Jannct Michael, Doris Biddle, Fern Wulfo and Katharine Pritchard. The occupants of tent No. 3 arc: Mno Keller, counsellor; Helen Furniss, Margaret Jensen, Virginia Willitts and Madeline Hicks. So far this tent has been the winner in the inspection. Honors The honor system for 1924 is very different from that of former years. The honors ore divided into a land and water rank with a first and second division to each. The requirements are as follows: First Land Rank Name and identify five trees, Name and identify five birds, Name and identify five flowers, Name and identify the evening star.

The re­ wards for the land ranks are head Imnds^and tie*, while those for water ranks arc emblem* for tho bathing suit. The directing ’staff of the camp fof & Isabel Hailwood, Director. Camp Fire To prove that the Inst is l»CBt of all we have our camp fire after rapper. On the first night, since it was raining we held an imitation in the mesa tent. Tho new girl* and counsellora were triod before a jury and the judge, Mac Keller. Hap Hailwood was ac­ cused of cbasing squirrels up trees and her punishment wns to turn three som­ ersaults, which was done very graceful* ly. Lee Crcascr’* penalty was to re­ cite the preamble of the Constitution nnd she begad glibly, “Four score’and seven years ago—.” The judge, after being told that Loa thought she was to say "Star Spangled " ’ ** Banner ------- ”” gave up in despair an<l allowed a aimpier punishment. Tho next night was clear so wo gathered around a licneh flro and the famous magician, Ma Ja Rnjnh, gave u* a very fine performance with his magic writing. Vi Cushman finished the evening by telling us two delightful Indian legends. Thursday evening n movie was pre­ sented by tents 1 and fi. The hero was Bill Wolfe, the blushing heroine, Knp Pritchard, the villain, Jan Mich­ ael; nnd the two little sisters of the heroine were Wcnsil Pierson nnd Peter Crab Nichols.

Building THE PRICE OF SUCCESS by C. J. ARGUBRIGHT I OFTEN WONDER what it is that brings one man or woman success in life, and what it is that brings mediocrity or failure to another. The difference cannot be in mental capacity; there is not the difference in our mentalities indicated by the difference in our performance. After many years of experience I have ■ learned that those who succeed do so because they are willing to pay the price of success, while others, though they claim am­ bition, are unwilling to pay the price, and fail. They’ either search vainly for a short, get-rich-quick road to success, or they accept the advice of someone who is incompetent to advise them O. J. ARGUBRIGHT, President. THE PRICE OF SUCCESS IS— TO SELECT the vocation for which you are naturally adapted and in which you will take the deepest interest. TO STUDY and master every possible element of knowledge and skill connected with the practical and technical processes of the vocation you have chosen. TO ADD to your high school education a thorough technical training in the best school or college specializing in the field you have selected for your life’s work. You cannot expect to succeed as a dentist if you train in a barber college; as an engineer if you train • in a theological seminary; in one of the business professions if you train in a state or county normal school. TO SEEK and follow competent counsel from those'who are fitted, by training and experience, to give expert advice about the profession upon which you have decided. AN INTELLIGENT and diplomatic adjustment of your methods of work, your personal appearance, your behavior, your relations with your fellow employees, and your bearing toward your superiors, to the end of building up and maintaining the highest possible de­ gree of confidence in you and satisfaction with your services. THAT IS THE PRICE of success as I see it. That is the function of our ,Vocational Guidance Department. The service we give students after graduation is even more important and val­ uable than that which we give while they are in attendance. It is our aim to help young men and women who enroll in our college to “make lives as well as a living." Your Position Is Waiting for You THE REASON why Michigan Business and Normal College receives more than a dozen fine calls for every student is because big business men of Michigan have found that M. B. & N. C. graduates are trained for something more than mere routine and clerical work. Big business is always eagerly looking for young men and women so trained that they can be promoted to executive chairs—train­ ed the .Michigan Business and Normal College way.

UfflTMK BIC CORPORATION Former Hastings Man to En* gage in Extensive Manu­ facture of Radiators Our readers will remember T. J. Potter, who was for years the manager of the Consolidated Press and Too! Company of thia city. Ho was con­ nected with that company when it wiu first organized in Chicago and when it moved to this city in 1903 at which time Emil Tyden and his associates were actively interested in it. It remained in the hands of these Kitlemcn until it was told to Howard Orman, ofi Battle Creek. Mr. Potter continued to manage the plant under Mr. Sherman’s ownership. A few ycara ago he sold his inter­ est in tho concern and went to Lok Angeles where he engaged in manu­ facture and haa evidently been very aueceasfnl. A Los Angeles daily paper, in a re­ cent issue, tells of the formation of the Potter Radiator Corporation, of Delaware, which is headed by T. J. Potter, president of the Loa Angeles organisation which is known also at tho Potter Radiator Corporation. The new corporation is capitalized for $800,000.00. Tho local Los Angelos company, which Mr. Potter also own­ ed, was capitalized at $75,000.00. Plana for a five acre factory to bo located on a fine nite near Loa Angeles have been completed. Tho now plant will include tho factory building proper, foundry and a separate office and adminiatrntion building. When finished It will be one of tho larg­ est of its kind on the Pacific coast. The papers announces the financing for the new Potter corporation was arranged in advance of any an­ nouncement of plane, and that the money for the new buildings and purchase of the land has been ap­ propriated. The new firm is distinct from the California corporation of the same name, and Mr. Potter retains a con­ trolling interest in ‘both companies. “Gas-steam” radiators and standard radiators, in addition to a type of gas radiators already being manufactured by the old company, will be made in the now plant. The paper also states that tho head of the Potter Radiator Corporation is a booster for southern California. Mr. Potter says that the location in Los Angeles wns decided when tho report of his engineers showed the advantages of that city as compared with any other in manwAuptnnpg~• _ . His many friends in Hastings will wish Mr, Potter abundant success ir his new enterprise. DOUDS CORNERS.

Work will be found * startling article nn the causa of grime. A Chlnagn judge, Judge Harry Olson, and Dr. William J. Hickson are credited with having made the new and revolution­ ary discovery that crime proceeds from a defective brain. This comes as a result of investigations covering 27 Sears of a prosecutor and judge, Mr. ipon, and ton yean’ investigation by a specialist in criminal pysehology, Dr. Hickson, and tests in 40,000 eases. We will attempt to summarize thia article, because wo believe our readers will bo interested. According to Judge Olson and Dr. Hickson, crime is caused by a physical defeet of the brain. Thia defect ren­ ders its victim so far below normal in emotion that he has little or no con­ science, or so far above normal in emotion as to make him hysterically irresponsible. The latter is readily identified as “crazy,” but the emotion­ ally subnormal man is much more dan­ gerous, because ho is so quiet as to be seldom suspected until after he has committed a crime and because his typo comprises nearly 100 per cent of all criminals. The discovery that subnormal, emo­ tional response is a genuine insanity and the cause of nearly all crime, is the tremendously important work of these two Chicago men. Their discov­ ery provides a rational and consistent explanation of every kind of crime from petty larceny to murder. More striking still, it makes it possible to predict chat certain specified people will commit certain specified erimce, and these predictions have come true. Recently a lawyer near Chicago murdered his wife in cold blood, cut her head from her body, imbedded it in cement and used this ghastly pillar as a support for the back porch of his house. The truth about this murder and about all murders of this by no means unusual type is that, like ev­ erybody else, he has two brains: The upper brain or cortex, which is tho seat of the intriUraaso, aM tho lower tmda, The officers hove a clue uh to who It ought not to be necessary to warn wax driving the ear, and are working the people of Barry county against do­ on it. ing business with entire strangers, es­ pecially signing cdntracts or notes and paying them money, or permitting them to do services of uncertain value with­ out finding out who they are and whether they are honest or not.

The farmers of Barry eounty are urged to keep a clone look-out for army worms as thia pest has made its appearance in adjoining states and at least two infestations in Michigan. They are a very serious and destructive pest and can do many thousands of dol­ lars damage in a short time by the de­ struction of oats, wheat, eorn and in faet most any field crop. They are called army worms because of their mass attacks in array style, presenting a solid front over a certain area, de­ pending on the numbers. They advance in a given direction and devour nearly everything in their march. County Agent, F. W. Bennett, once saw these worms at work in an infested area in the state of Wisconsin. The infected area was about fonr miles wide and they advanced at about thirty to fifty rods in twenty-four hours. Tho most efficient protection wan to plow a fur­ row around the field to be protected or just in advance of the worms, turning the soil towards the oncoming peats. This leaves the perpendicular side of the furrow for them to elimb so they fill in the furrow. Then they can be burned by straw or other refuse or one may plow a second furrow and cover them. Do not confuse the regular army worm with bis cousin, or thistle worm (co called because it describes it best in this country). While the thistle worm is closely related to the army worm, his habits are altogether differ­ ent.’especially his method of ettafk and his choice of diet. The regular armv worm has a relish for oats and other grains; tho thistle worm prefers thistles, plantain, buckhorn, nettles atd if very hungry will attack soy bea^s and burdock. \ In fact wo are becoming convinced that the old saying has been reversed. Wo have a sheep in wolf’a clothing.

USE BARRIERS TO STOP ARMY WORMS Serious Pests Reported In State—M. A. 0. Gives Con­ trol Measures. East Lansing, July 7,—Control meas­ ures to stop the army worms, serious crop pests which have been reported recently from different sections of the state, have been given out by the entomology department at the Michi­ gan Agricultural College. A warning that the army worms might break out in the state thia vear was sent out a week ago by Prof, k H. Pettit, of the college staff, and since that time reports have confirmed the prediction that fanners would have to bo on guard against the pest this year. "When a farm or field is found to be infected with army worms,” says Professor Pettit, "there is usually no hope of saving the occupied fields or portions of fields. It becomes impera- vent the spread of an army to unin­ vaded parts. To do this, place bar­ riers in the line of march. Usually about three deep, elean-eut furrows placed parallel, about ten or twelve feet apart will stop them. Turn the furrows toward the advancing worms, and. when each fills up, turn it under, leaving a fresh furrow, burying the ‘worms’ already in the furrows and making ready a now one at ones. “When the soil is sandy, mucky, or otherwise difficult to make stand m a clean-cut furrow, or when there ia no room for a series of furrows, make one good deep furrow and drag a small log baek and forth through the fus^, row, crushing the larvae as fast anther collect. Army worms are po^Y'Jmlmbera, and one finds them easy to' confine in a furrow.

Appropriate Remedy Wednesday, mr ». i«m - TAILOR Niwihpk ijndlcui) Bob was known far and wide as a modal husband; steady as the rock of Gibraltar. As steady as he was, at times ho was in despair. Letty, his ife, was a veritable gadabout Bob remonstrated in vain. Letty ould dissolve Into tears—a way ahe bad; but when her tears dried she was cm the trot again with her cronlee. Coming down on the 5:15, Bob ran across Charley, the latest victim of matrimony. Poor Charley wai In the throes of Indigestion. “If Grace could only learn to cook," moaned Charley. “But you can’t sym­ pathise. Letty Is Such a peseb at that sort of thing." “Yes, she Is," admitted Bob;_"but what would you do if your wife in­ sisted on going out every night?" “I'd beat her to It," Charley assured him. "There Is only one thing for you to do, Bob," Charley told him. “There Is an old superstition that says If you want to keep a cat you must butter her feet. Apply that to Letty." Now, Bob had a deep vein of super­ stition, Although he would have died rather than admit it If be could butter Letty's feet—If he could—he would try It and see how R worked. Letty met him at the door, bubbling over, as usual. She served the de­ licious dinner and enjoyed watching him eat As soon as he hnd finished his hearty meal and she had eaten like a bird, she drew him Into the coxy living room. "I have a secret for you. Bob." her eyes dancing, “I am going to stay at home tonight, all alone with you." “Letty, are you sick?" Bob was really anxious. “Don’t rub It in now, honey, or ril change my mind." She was In her most charming mood. She sang ,hls favorite songs, she played his favorite selections; she made harmless drinks—delicious al! the more because they were harmless. "Why can’t it be like this all the time, LettyY’ be asked her. “Could anything be better than this?" Now L*tty could have been disagreeable and replied In return: “No, nothing could be nicer for you, but what about me? I have done the cooking, the entertaining, the talking, and I am almost exhausted. I have given and you have taken." But she was a wise Letty and knew better than to spoil a perfect eve­ ning. "My dear boy," she*smiled In her enchanting way, "you enjoy this be­ cause It is bo rare. If we had a night like this every night In the week you would soon tire of the monotony. You haven't even read your sporting news. Bob. I must have charmed you, sure­ ly. I'm going to break the record to­ night and go to bed early." She went through her retiring rou­ tine more quickly than usual. Bob did the nightly chores; wound the clock and set out the milk jars. As he turned to enter the house, some­ thing soft rubbed against his leg. He looked down and saw a beautiful black eat He liked cats, particularly black ones, but Letty could not bear to have one in ths housa. He stooped to stroke the glossy fur and the cat purred. He could not resist the im­ pulse to open the screen door and let the cat enter with him. By the time Bob had fed the stran­ ger, made a bed for It and fastened the windows ft was growing late. It was silent upstairs. Letty must be asleep. He looked at the cat, then thought of the butter. He went swift­ ly to the Icebox, brought out a pat of butter, clicked off the lights and went silently up the stairs. Letty was sleeping peacefully. She made a perfect picture of repose, and he gazed, well aatlsfled that every­ thing waa working out as be wished. The night was so warm that she had thrust her feet out from the thltf> cov­ ering, and Bob stooped to apply the butter. Now Letty had peculiarly sensitive feet As Bob plastered the butter be touched a sensitive nerve. Letty gave a powerful kick, landing on Bob’s right eye. He gave a howl of pain, while Letty turned over to a more comfortable position. She would not wake up; she was a heavy sleeper, as be knew from experience. Hours later, or so it seemed, Letty awoke. There at her feet was a hor­ rible black creature, licking her toes. She could not move; ahe felt petrified as the terrible animat glared and looked ready to spring if ahe uttered a cry to Bob. After an eternity of waiting, the animal jumped off the bed and slunk away. “Bob," she called. In her weakest voice. "Bob, dear, wake up; I’m so frightened." Bob was in no comforting mood, but be got out of bed and turned on the lights. Letty screamed when she saw him. “Look at your eye. it is all black. Such a night I’ve had. What did you Bob refused to My what be did. She Mt up with the air of a tragedy queen. "There was some terrible black ani­ mal sitting on my feet most of the night Don't think I'm craxy. Bob ; he really did. T shall make one resolu tlon for the future. Never again' will it be early to bed for me; and as for these *at home nights,* _we had better the privileges of.residence in Michigan, should not pay something to the sup­ port of the state? I« there any reason why a married person with nn income of <2,000.00 or <jyD0O.OO should not bear some proportion of the state’s ex­ penses? So far as the writer is con­ cerned, he believes the fairest way to raise all kind of taxation is by mean* of an income tax, no that the real es­ tate which is in so many cases non­ productive, would, not have to bear so large a share of the burden of support­ ing local and state government a*, it now does. If real estate is productive, the person who receives the revenue from it would have to pny nn income tax. The school question is also to bo sub­ mitted in the form of n constitutional amendment. Secretary of State Delured refused to be governed by tho pe­ tition* whieh had been presented to him some time ago for an nrnendment to do nway with parochial schools; but tho state Supreme Court hns overruled his objections and hns declared uncon­ stitutional a state law passed by the Inst legislature, which law Secretary DeLand held was the basis of his re­ fusal. Thus the school question will have to bo threshed out in November. It in unfortunate thnt (his disturbing issue should come up nt this time. There arc so many disturbing issues thnt it would seem nn if tho voters might bo spared this one. However, even if this proponed nrnendment should be carried, it is n question an to whether the federal Su­ preme Court would permit the carrying out of the closing of parochial schools no matter if the voters of the state should approve. It will be recalled that the voters of Oregon, by n large majority vote, . decreed thnt there should be no more church schoqls in thnt state. An appeal was taken to the federal court. The federal district judge declared the Oregon law uncon­ stitutional. If the federal district and United States Supreme Court shall agree with him, then no state would be permitted to pass a Inw forbidding tho right of people, who are willing to pay for it, to maintain church schools. So long nn tho eighteenth amendment to the constitution is in existence, it is hard to conjecture what sense there could possibly be in Michigan votidg to permit the manufacture of wine nnd beer. It will be remembered that be­ fore the eighteenth amendment was adopted, this proposition was submit­ ted to tho voters of Michigan nnd was voted down twu to one when we had a state prohibitory law. With reference to tho Detroit amend­ ments, it would seem thnt when one re­ flects thnt 00 per cent of the popula­ tion of Wayne county is foreign born or children of foreign born, that it would bo most unwise to give the large representation in tho state legis­ lature which that county is asking for in tho two constitutional amendiMnt* whieh will be submitted in November. However, if the Test of tho state does not realize what these • amendments would mean and should fail to vote on them or vote wrong on them, Wnyno county would practically be in a posi­ tion to dominate the legislature of this state, a condition that we would regard as little short of calamity.

The straager said *‘aot a* compared with surgeon’s pay,” aud insist«xl that he mu»t have his money at once or he would have to bring suit. Naturally tho aged lady did not want any. such thing as that done, and ahe agreed to come, nnd did como with him to this city and drew $800 out of the bank and paid it to this scoundrel, who promptly vamoosed and no doubt will never be heard of again. Last Saturday a man who signed his name ax H. C. Hauler drove into this city in a Ford coupe, having an Indiana license, and went to a certain home in Hastings and claimed to tho lady of the house that ho represented tho National Ladies’ Tailoring Company, of Chicago, and that ho wanted to establish an agency for that company in Hastings. He produced a contract, in which ho, ax tho field agent of tho company, agreed to pay tho lady $20 a week in wages and 18 per cent commission ^»n her sales. He told her that she would have to huvo a considerable lino of xamplca, which wore enumerated in tho contract, and that these would be for­ warded at once to her from Chicago, but that tho company required $35 advanee before sending the samples. Tho contract also specified that tho com­ pany would pay all advertising ex­ pense eoflloctcd with her work in sell­ ing the goods, and would renew the samples without further cost to her. A provision in the contract cited that all contracts of agents of the National Ladies’ Tailoring Company must be made with their field agent, who, of course, was this man Hassler. There was no date on tho contract, no street number or address given for the Lailicx’ Tailoring Company. It was a pure swindle. The Indy handed him a check for $35 on which he secured tho cash aa the bank recognized the genuineness of her signature, and thuu profliplly disap­ peared. On thiaking tho matter over tho lady concluded that tho man was a fraud and telephoned the sheriff, but the man had made a quick get-away.

Those tests have now been applied by fewer temptations, because they can support themselves without stealing, the Chicago investigators to 40,C00 and the writer of this artiele states actual criminals, covering a period of that “ most crimes are stealing in one ton years. The results are astonish­ form or another, or violence that is in­ ing. One kleptomaniac will give the cidental to stealing.” When tempted, same kind of a response to these tests a man with high intelligence uses that in­ that every other kleptomaniac gives telligence as a brake upon his im­ to them, and it is a response very dif­ pulses. But no matter bow clever, if ferent from that of the murderer.

Yon ean test stinct if the temptation is strong a boy of 17 and then declare with enough, and he will obey the more practical certainty that, given the op­ powerful force which governs the im­ portunity and under conditions that excite his impulses, ho will commit pulse to do certain things. DEFECTIVE BRAIN CIUSE OF CRIME The ^Churches * Sheerest Weave “Athletics” Light as a feather and cool as a zephyr. Good looking, too, in smartly checked and striped materials. A top value in sum­ mer comfort at THOS. E. WATERS & SON "The Better Store for Men" murder before he is twenty-flve. This has been done in a dozen cases. Test­ ing another boy will show that he will commit arson under tho same circum­ stances and within that period. Test­ ing another will show that he will bo a thief. You can test another and bo confident that he will never commit any crime of any kind. Why is thir-possible! Because in practice there is invari­ ably-a slip of the ihind when a man with a defective lower mind performs cer­ tain conscious acta—Chat is acts that require co-operation between the think­ ing mind and the feeling mind. No matter how correctly he thinks what to do, if his will and emotions are not equally correct in their operations, the act will reflect their defect and there­ by distort it from what he thought it was going to be. The point is, if the Chicago investi­ gators are correct, that crime is not crime as wo have commonly thought of it. It is not pursuit of evil, indulged by perverse spirits lost in sin. According to them, it Is not even a disease. They say it is a symptom of a disease of the actual physical gray matter of the low­ er brain. Even that they say is hard­ ly accurate scientifically. They declare that crime is a symptom of a struc­ turally defective lower brain. The criminal is, therefore, according ‘to them, a person who is stupid or feeble­ minded, or insane, not on the side of intelligence but on the side of the emotions. If the conclusions arrived at by these two men in their study of 40,000 criminal cases are correct, our present system of “reformatories” and “peni­ tentiaries” Is seen to be based upon an entire misapprehension of the nature of crime and criminals. The present system of penology is already con­ demned by its practical fruits. Every judge and lawyer, familiar with the facts, knows that 90 per cent of the criminals “repeat,” and that prac­ tically no repeater was ever reformed. These Chicago investigators seem to tell us why the repeater does not re­ form. What then becomes the wise thing to do with that 2 per cent of our popu­ lation which, according to the invest!Eton mentioned, commit the crimes it cause such great expense and trou­ ble to society! In another artiele in the August number of the magazine Mr. Strother will tell what these two men think the new penology should be, nnd how they would hereafter care for criminals, and why thev believe that crime can be eliminated in- a genera­ tion or two. If their ideas are correct prisons will give way to humane segre­ gation farms, where tho victims of hereditary defects will live happily, but eannot harm society. Men and women will occupy separate farms, and in a generation or two, by this humane form of negative eugenics, the race will rid itself of the tainted blood stream, which is the cause of crime. The BANNER would add this com­ ment of our own. If all that these two men claim to have discovered shall prove to be the truth, that will not mean that the principles of Christ are not essential to the saving of human­ ity. We can safeguard society against this 2 per cent of criminal people by tho manner which thev propose, but unless the law of kindness and good will shall be taught and lived, in our judgment other criminals will appesr, because when we get down to it, selfish­ ness is tho cause of wrong doing. Hu­ manity must rise to that point where men will realize that they must live for the good of others as well as themselves, there will be the constant temptation to the weak in intellect and tho weak in emotional nature to go wrong. Tho boat nnd safest thing, therefore, is for individuals and society to apply and live tho same teachings of the Great Master of men. �taom it, row a, iau cumi Miss Isabel Hailwood left Sunday GUroaee Gharitoa sp*«t the week end visiting in Detroit.

Too often it comes when advancing age makes it hardest to meet. Then it is that people give utterance to the vain regret and say, "Oh, If I had only saved my money when I had the chance.” You can. start saving by depositing a very small amount—only a dollar or two—and add to it as rapidly as possible. You can be assured that when you leave your money here it will be free from every element of chance, or speculation, and it will be available for you any time you wish it. “STEADY SAVING”—putting away a portion of your earnings as fast as you receive it—will soon put you in possession of a snug sum, and the in­ terest we pay you every SIX MONTHS is just like "finding money.” It will be a start toward “Easy Street,” and where the “rainy day" has no terror.

The market place is located in the center of Charlotte, and upon it has been built a find market building, which is to be used by the farmers for dis­ playing their produce for community sales. In addition to the market building, there has been erected also rest and toilet rooms where fanners’ wives may wait while their husbands finish their business about town. This Is a splendid gift aad fills a long-felt want. In presenting the market to the city, Mr. Beaeh galled attention to the fact that he cnnic to Chartotte a few yean, ago with limited capital, and that he and-his brother have not forgotten the financial and moral support given to the firm by the people of Charlotte.

Pointers for Dairymen Summer time is a busy time for the active and conscien­ tious dairy man. When the warm days and muggy nights come, much more attention must be given the care of milk, in order that a saleable product may be delivered. During the cold .winter months the cooling of the milk does not usually receive attention that is necessary in hot weather. The first warm days of spring are often the most trying as the more or less lax methods used in cool weather are apt to be continued to some extent, and a can or more-of returned milk may possibly result; which is an unnecessary loss to the dairyman as well as the manufacturer. The United States Department of Agriculture recent­ ly issued a statement to the effect that thousands of dol­ lars are lost by dairymen, because of losses incurred through milk returned and because of inferior manufac­ tured product due to a low grade of raw milk. A dairyman who produces and delivers a high grade of milk raises the average quality of all milk, and as a result a better product reaches the consumer; making the demand for milk products-greater and tending towards a higher price for the raw product. Why Milk Should Be Cooled Bacteria grow and multiply much more slo-wlyjn cold than in warm milk. When drawn from the oow milk has a temperature a little above 90 degrees F., a temperature at which bacteria grow very rapidly. Cooling should be begun immediately after the milk is drawn from the cow if best results are obtained. Prompt cooling necessitates the immediate removal of milk from the bam to the place of cooling which also is a good prac­ tice because it shortens the time that milk is exposed to the air of the bam. Since, in general, bacteria multiply more slowly as the temperature is lowered, the more rapid the drop in temperature the less time for their multiplication and growth. While cleanliness is the first essential in the production of milk, prompt cooling and storage at low temperatures are the most important factors in preventing souring. For best resulf,, then, milk should be cooled immediately after milking and kept at a temperature low enough to check the growth of bacteria. . An-adequate eupply of cold water is essential for prop­ er handling of milk. If a dairyman is fortunate enough to have a supply of fee for this purpose his troubles are greatly lessened. Many dairymen make the mistake of placing one or more cans of milk at a temperature of ACT NOW -AND PROFIT Just Phone 2305 COAL labiad their MOR ud Isauly, aloo nephew front Kahmaaoo over , about 85 de/rees.F. in a sm^ll tank (holding possibly no more than two or three timqs as much water as there is milk to cool), with water at a temperature of J55 degrees F. to 60 degrees F. With this equipment it is impossible to copl the milk to much leas than 70 .degrees F„ and milk at 70 degrees F. will develop bacteria very rapidly. A larger volume of water or an opportunity to change the water two or more times while cooling, should be available. 'All milk ahuold be cooled and held at 60 degrees F. or cblder if pouible. Morning’* milk ahould receive careful attention for if it ie placed on the milk stand or on the hauler’s wagon at a temperature of 70 degrees F. to 80 degrees F., it will very probably be partly spotted or develop a bad flavor before ft reaches the factory. Morning’s milk should be cooled to at least 80 degrees F., and it is not advisable to mix the night's milk with the morning’s milk, unless both are practically the same temperature. ’ A glass dairy thermometer, which may be purchased for. fifty-to seventy-five cents, would be a real asset to any dairyman if it is properly used.

READ for the body dr Bread for the soul-—both are essential. Surely the body has to be fed, its peculiar needs studied, before any great work Can be carried. Even Mohammed, the prophet, could not feed his soul alone and live, so he asked also for the simplest food to sustain and nourish his body. The wise philosopher made no error in placing at the head of all needs that moat wholesome and universal of foods—Bread. No other food but Bread contains all the elements needed to re­ pair and sustain the body. No other contains so large a propor­ tion of nutriment—with nothing to irritate or tax digestion. Even back in the days of Mohammed this was recognized. If the great Prophet relied upon it to help him support a life-time of ceaseless strain and struggle, surely it is just as valuable in helping us perform our tasks today. Ask poor grocer for J. & K.

BANNER WANT ADDS PAY EVERY TIME Cpolarino THE PERFECT MOTOR OIL Made tn Five Grades is Sound Business Sense Big companies, running a fleet of trucks and cars, naturally turn to Polarine, because they have proved that Polarine is a sound business proposition. The manager of one such company writes: “I want you to know that, after a wide experience in the operation of motor trucks, I have come to the con­ clusion that your Polarine Motor Oils are right I hey actually enable me to get greater mileage per gallon of gasoline, because they prevent the gasoline from leaking back into the crankcase, thinning out the oil and resulting in loss of fuel I lay the long life of my motors to their use. *‘Yoa can do it Better with GAS1* See how Cool—Clean— Convenient it is! Why, it’s like taking a vacation from blistering heat and hard work when you cook with gas. No fires to build, no stifling heat in the kitchen, no ashes, dirt, nuisance. Touch the outton and the fire is lighted---not even a match to scratch. "I have used oils that cost more than Polarine, and some that are cheaper, but / am through experimenting. My experience has convinced me that it is foolish to expect to duplicate this product of yours.” Passenger car owners also can improve the efficiency of their machines and reduce their operating cost by using Polarine. The grade recommended is especially designed to lubricate your car properly—to protect the bearing surfaces with an unbroken film of oil Polarine will not break down. Mother Deaervea it— Follow the chart at the left Use the grade of Polarine recommended. Reduce carbon deposit Reduce repair bilk. Save time "lost in lay-ups. Add mileage to your gasoline. k Cabinet Gas Range Drain your crankcase every 500 miles and refill with the right grade of Polarine. Polarine pays.

"FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR” has been successfully made for a half a century, and has become a household word, not only in Barry county, but throughout the state and even in adjoining states. Our big mill has been run to capacity day and night, year in and year out, most of the time, to supply the demand. There’s a reason for it, and it is this:' During our long experience we have found out many things about making flour that can not be “found in books.” When you buy FRENCH'S WHITE LH.Y FLOUR you get ALL the “flour goodness” of the wheat. You get MORE BREAD and BETTER BREAD than you can from any other flour. It’s the MOST ECONOMI­ CAL flour for the money, beesuse you get a BETTER flour.

NUMBER 11 campaign™ mtionw BABBY COUNTY PROFITED DIRECTLY DURING THE PAST YEAR COMMITTEES ARE BEING ORGANIZED Workers Hope Quota May Be Oversubscribed—Plan to Do Your Best The question is often asked, What benefit does Barry county derive from the Salvation Army which warrants an annual appeal f«»r support. The ques­ tion i* natural ar..' legitimate; the an­ swer is definite ihhI adequate. Here it The Evangeline Maternity Hospital at Grand Rapids, which is owned and operated by the Salvation Army, cares for girls who have suffered the great­ est wrong that ran befall a human be­ ing. The girls arc kept for an average period of six months, counting time be­ fore and after confinement. They and their babies are cared for till, a safe place in found for them in society. This service costs the Salvation Army an average of $350.00 per patient. It might be noted in passing that these figures show the efficiency and economy with which the Salvation Army does itn work. Does anybody know of any other first class hospital where a pa­ tient can be cared for over a period of nix months, with all expenses, includ­ ing medical and surgical service, cov­ ered by $350,007 Last year three girts from Berry county were cared for in the Evange­ line Hospital I On thia item alone tho Salvation Army spent $1050.00 in money for the care of tho most pa­ thetic type of Barry county’s unfor- til the thousand dollar mark is well passed it is hardly proper for us to talk about a ‘gift’ or a ‘contribution* to the Salvation Army. Up to that point Barry county in merely paying a just debt.” For this reason the annual campaign, which is now being ar­ ranged, in welcome. Committeen are being organised and nobody doubts that Hastings will do its duty. To as­ certain public sentiment, a representa­ tive han interviewed a few well known men. Their answers follow: In tho great war the Salvation Army went where the need was greatest and dil Us duty regardless of danger or hardship. After the cyclonb at Lo­ rain and Sandusky the papers reportthose to bring aid and relief. Whether in peace or war it ia faithful to its trust and has earned the support of all good people. Dan C. Walldorff. Of course there aro a great many calls to relieve the distress in the world, but who would want 'to live in a land where such appeals are not heard! Support of charitable institu­ tions is part of the price of civilisa­ tion. The Salvation Army does more good in proportion to the money ex­ pended than any other known agency, and that is why I believe in it. Lorenz Schrumpf. Everyone who remembers the faith­ ful service of tho Salvation Army dur­ ing the dark days of the world war needs no other reminder of this organi­ zation’s worth. H. G. Hayea. I am glad to nay a word in behalf of the Salvation Army. All who naw its work in time of v*r among the sol* diera, or who know of its peace time work among the poor and unfortunate, know it in worthy of hearty support. Many more business men of this city have given hearty endorsement to tho Salvation Army’s work, which wo will print next woek. (Continued next week.) L. V.

Fortunately their automobile wan left standing a few feet distant from the garage. The top of the auto was quite badly burned, the finish of the car nearest to tho fire was more or less ‘‘blistered,’* the windshield was brok­ en and one tire somewhat damaged, all of which will necessitate some re­ pairs.

For 117 years this has been Mr. Wood’s home. In the year 1870 he won mar­ ried \tn Flora Coville, to which union were born two children, a son, Claude, and a daughter, Blanche. Mr. Wood was of a genial,'cheerful disposition. He liked to sing nnd enjoyed hearing oth­ ers sing. He laved his home nnd pre­ ferred its comfort nnd quiet above any social enjoyment. He was industrious nnd a* hard' worker. His ambition and courage in the face of physical ills, kept him up during his Into sickness until evo/y bit of reserve force bad been exhausted, nnd when at last he took to hitf bed, the end was not far uway. He was patient nnd uncomplain­ ing nnd passed quietly away Friday morning, July 11, nged 75 yra. 8 mos.. 3 days. He leaves a widow, his two children, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild to mourn his loss. “When the darkness gathers slowly Till the light has faded wholly From the sky-line in the west; When we know the day is dying Then we fain would stay its flying If we could, nnd bid it rest.

Davis drove his own automobile just ns far out of the way as he possibly could, but the other car driven by Bredis smashed into the Dnxis car.

DEMOCRATS MME dwis mo ora Don’t Simmer This Summer! (Continued from page one.) the democratic party would have large­ ly either refrained from voting or voted for Coolidge. Tho effect of Mr. Davis’ candidacy may now be to divide the conservative vote and make possible the selection of La Follette, whose can­ didacy stand* for the breaking down of I our form of government, the discarding of the Constitution and of everything else which it seems to us Americans ought to desire. He ha* been endorsed by thd socialist* and has accepted such endorsement, which *how* conclusively where he *tand*. He ha* repudiated the communists, but really when one thinks of how destructive hi* principles are, one must conclude that it wa* political expediency for him rather than opposi­ tion to communistic principles which made him decline to have any dealing* with the communistic party. Senator LaFollette is not a constructive man ami he has nb constructive platform. He would, however, be willing to de­ stroy those immortal foundation prin­ ciples of American government which have given our country »uch a wonder­ ful history and brought it to such a high standing that it ia today recogniz­ ed as the leading nation of the world. It would be unfortunate If the candi­ dacy of Mr. Davit should so divide the conservative forces of this country, who believe in'progress but want it to be safe, rather than afford opportunity for wild experiment, should cause a division in the conservative element and make it possible for such a wild radical as the Wisconsin senator to rit in the presidential chair. The Democrats completed their tick­ et by naming a* vice-president Gover­ nor Chas. W. Bryan, of Nebraska. This is intended ns a sop to his distin­ guished brother, William Jennings, who had fought against the nomination of Davis and had declared that his close association a* a lawyer with the Stan­ dard Oil and other, big corporations unfitted him for any consideration by the voter* of tho United States! But Wm. Jennings has agreed to sup­ port Mr. Davis. It will be hard to reconcile his agreement with common honesty. How can Mr. Bryan give his aid to a presidential candidate whom ho has declared to bo unworthy of the support of hi* party 1 If he is unwor­ thy, because he has served the Stand­ ard Oil and other corporations, as Mr. Bryan insisted in the convention, how can ho have become worthy now! OBITUARY. DIED-At her home, 730 8. Jefferson ■tract, in thi* eity Tuesday afternoon, July 8th, following an illness of nearly a year, Margaret Bailey Freeman, in the 75th year of her age. Margaret Hoonan wm born at Navan, County Mcuth, Ireland, September 12, 1849. She came to this country in a sailing vessel with her mother, Mrs. Patrick Hoonan, in 1854 in company with fivo sisters and three brothers to join her father and her three older sis­ ter* who had preceded thorn some time before, lured by the greater opportuni­ ties in this “Land of the Free". They settled in Bloomfield, N. Y^ remaining there six years. March 29, 1860 they came to Michigan, settling in North Irving, the farm remaining in the family for fifty years. She attend­ ed district school and later came to Has­ tings where the greater port of her life has since been spent. In 1872 she spent the entire year with relatives in New York City, which she always felt had an important influence on her life. On Juno 4, 1876 she married Alvin W. Bailey a prominent merchant of this city.' Three children, two boys and a girl were born of this union, all passing away in early life. After the death of her husband and little daughter Mary, she sought self­ culture in travel, long a desire of her heart. In 1886 she made a pilgrimage with the Michigan Press Association under the leadership of Ex-Governor Chase S. Osborn, through Old Mexico, followed at different times by several trip* to California, Florida, Cuba and the northwest. In 1899 she went to Europe with the National Press As­ sociation, where she also visited tho British Isle*, including her former home in Ireland, and the Isle of Man a* well. In 1905 she took a 15,000 mile trip to the Orient on the steamer Arabic, returning by way of Europe and Great Britian. In 1908 she was united in marriage to Porter C. Freeman. a friend of her girl­ hood day*, in North Irving, who had al­ so been her teacher. They resided at his home in Springfield, Mo., for ten years, when his sudden death occurred, and she returned to her old home in Hastings and purchased the house on Jefferson street where she has since re­ sided. Mrs. Freeman was a woman of un­ usually interesting personality and character, a fine example of what detire and determination can accomplish I where early opportunities for education I have been lacking. I In the early days of the Chautauqua movement in Hastings *he became a member, taking a four-year course grad­ uating with a class of twelve, always paying tribute to what this democratic plan for self-education had meant in her life. She was a wide and discriminat­ ing reader, and her extensive travels and ability to absorb and retain what she raw, coupled with a marvelous mem­ ory, and the ready wit inherited from Irish progenitor*, made her a fascinat­ ing and interesting conversationalist and companion. She had the ability to attract many friends to her ride, and retained them through the year*. These hold in happy memory many pleasant hours spent in her presence, and feel a distinct loss in her passing. She was a valued member of tho Has­ ting* Women’* Club and identified her­ self with the work at Springfield where she wa* president of the Current Topic section of their Women’* Club during her residence there. The funeral was held from St. Rose with interment at Riverridc. Of the original member* of her family there survive but two, a rirter, Mr*. Julia Stebbin*, of thia city, and her youngest brother, Patrick Hoonan, of Aberdeen, Washington.

I Eliminated in the New. 1924 Revenue Law Which Went Into Effect July 2nd Removal of the federal tax on toll and long distance telephone messages II was contained in the 1924 revenue act I recently signed by President Coolidge | This part of the revenue act went I. into effect July 2nd, so from now on r there will be no tax on telephone mes­ sages. Under the old law there was a tax I’of 5 cents on messages costing from 15 cents to 50 cents, and 10 cents on messages costing over 50 cents. To those who made considerable use of the telephone in calling nearby points like Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and other points, It will mean quite a saving. I Under the new law telephone mes­ sages to Lake Odessa that used to cost 120 cents are now 15 eeats; to Battle , Creek, former charge 25 cents, now 20 cents; to Grand Rapids, former charge I 30 cents, now 25 cents; to Lansing, former price 35 cents, now 30; to Do­ ji troit, former price 90 cents, now 80 cents. Every reduction in cost will surely bo welcomed. d 5% or More arid j Instantly Available W A A Why tie your money up for a term of years, trying to get 1% more, when you can place your Savings with this old established Institution, under State Supervision, and have your money subject to your call at one hundred cents on the dollar any time of the year, and at the same time earn 5% and 6%? d Sfe National ^nan & jfnugHtmrnt (flompattg I I Every once in a while you will see some young, or middle-aged fel­ low, start out and make a very rapid climb upward in the business world. A lot of people will say: “Oh, he’s lucky.” The fact is that it is not “LUCK” in the great majority of cases. If the real truth were known it would be found that that young man had simply solved the problem of “SAVING HIS MONEY.” When opportunity came he was ready. There is no royal road to wealth, nor is the secret of Success tied up in the Sphinx. It’s an “open way” to any careful observer. You take any of the great financiers of today, or any time in our past, they ALL started in by SAVING. That’s the first necessary step toward “Success.” SAYING money isn’t always an EASY thing to do, but it IS a SIMPLE thing to do. It demands just one thing—and that is to spend less than you earn, and make your money WORK FOR YOU. That’s all there is to it If you’ll watch closely you’ll find there is more SAVINGS BANK “LUCK” than any other. You can become one of the “LUCKY” ones yourself by opening an account here.

The fact that the 1923 dollar will buy more gasoline than the 1913 dollar could purchase is due largely to intelli­ gent work and efficient organization by the leaden of the petroleum industry in general, and, so far a* the :iency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). In a recent interview, President Coolidge stated that “It was right for men to organize, and the ends of society were best served by organization, >rowdW fife trganaatun wai ftr urviet.*’ The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is emphatically an organization for service. From ths very acquisition of the erode oil, to the last drop of gasoline run into your tank at a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) filling station, every thought, effort and act of this Company is bent toward giving the best service to the consumfr... This ’‘best’9 service necessarily includes a low price. And the price of gasoline made by this Company has been perennially low, (both absolutely, and in comparison with other commodities) over a long period of time. ♦ But price is only one angle of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service. It is the comprehensive facilities provided by this Company, embracing a com­ plete cycle of service, which increases the purchasing power of your 1923 gasoline dollar over and above the 1913 gasoline dollar. Ths Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has anticipated automotive development. It has created great, modern refineries. It has trained a loyal and efficient body of employes. It has erected great storage depots to hold chain of Mnrice lutioiu. , Al • .-Mult, todiy you are able to fill up your yupline oak at will, nowhere and mtywhm, with uniformly 4a,aadaH« gaaolina ol high quality, at price, paniatculy resection, of North M»chi\ Mill 9t-. .running theqeo bey, Gillett. . der and Weis * PECKHAM'S REMEDY FQR 101 Cents Worth of Gasoline in Your 1923 Dollar Hasting* Lumber A Coal Oo-. auppliea Hastings Lumber A *Cort'^i5o.'. suppHea _______ 4....... ............. . ....... b^ -------- 11.00 Western Typewriter Supply and E» change, lupplie* 2 80 VnionSteam Pump Co., auppliea 24.00 20.40 Union Iron Products Co, “Stop”. 10.00 sign* ....------The Cadillac Clay Co, supplies ..... ...... 03.38 181.80 8110 The Cadillac Clay Co, auppliea 4.00 8.00 be drawn for Mine.

MM what sort of sweets the kiddies eat in hoi weather LET. the children have their full measure of play during 'L"‘ the glorious summer days but watch carefully what they eat Young folks have a healthy and natural craving for sweets That is because sugar is a great energy food and body builder. But it should be eaten in readily digestible forms —forms that lack the heavy richness that overheats tiny bodies on hot summer days. Sister Sue It is best to combine sugar with other foods — to balance the diet and aid digestion In light delicate cookie-cakes, sugar is at its best Combined with nourishing wheat ele­ ments, it satisfies the appetite and provides needed energy in an ideal form. Guard against sweets of unknown quality Now that the kiddies arc out of school, you cannot always watch over their play. In town or at the shore are many places where they can spend their pennies for things you know nothing about. Most sweets today are pure at least. But why take chances? eas~li It is so easy to keep a supply of Hekman's on hand. You know their wholesome goodness and purity—the fine spotless bakery in which they are baked. The sweeter Hekman varieties arc so good and so delicious that the children will not be tempted to buy for themselves when mother has Hekman’s always ready for them. AaiitCo.

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 every 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 oppornity to the residents of Barry County for a most en­ joyable day and to renew and enlarge their acquaint­ anceship. There are lots of good people in the world, and lots of them right here in Barry County. But if we don’t KNOW THEM WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO US? It is the sincere desire of the Committee that EACH PERSON wear a card with his or her name and address plainly written or printed there­ on. 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 majority 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 along and a brief respite from the ordinary every-day duties of life will do us all GOOD — farmers, laboring men, clerks, factory employees—in fact everyone —be- ’ cause we all have our duties. Therefore let us hail with delight this happy and romantic season .of pic­ nics and outings, and we ask YOU to meet our prep­ arations for your enjoyment with the same enthusi­ asm and kindly spirit that have marked our desire to ADD TO YOUR PLEASURE. Our aim is that, when this big Picnic is over, you can truthfully say that it was the BEST and ,MO$T ENJOYABLE DAY you ever spent. Of course you cannot say'that if you do not attend and that is WHY we are URG­ ING YOU TO COME.

East Lansing, July 14—More general application of the “nicotine dust” system of killing encumber beetles nnd lice,-which are said to cause a con­ siderable decrease in the yield of pickle*, melon*, and squnsh, is the ob­ jective of a campaign which is being conducted this suinmer by the horti­ cultural section of the Michigan Ag­ ricultural College extension staff in most of the counties in the state where pickle* and melons arc grown. The deadline** of the “nicotine dust?’ method—a 90 per cent killing ability being claimed Jpr it, tho short time required to kill the insect* af­ ter “dusting,” and tho economy of the new method, which kills by con­ tact and does not depend on tho eat­ ing of more plant tissue ami conse­ quent injury of tho plant before the consumption of enough poison to cause death, are all pointed out n* superior qualities of the new method. The material should be applied by a hand duster, declares H. A. Cardincll, M. A. C. extension specialist in horticulture, who is in charge of the campaign. These machines, which are available at prices of from one to twenty-five dollars, protect the foliage of tho plants from “under feeding” ns tho dust is applied with such force that both sides of the leave* nre coated. While application during the hot, calm days of midsummer is said to bo the most effective as the heat lib­ erates the nicotine fumes more rapid­ ly and causes a quick kill, the dust­ ing should not be postponed until favorable weather conditions when severe attacks of the insects occur, Mr. Cardinell urges. “When the beetles are doing groat damage,, it is best to dust the plants oven though it may bo rainy, cold or windy, or n combination of such weather condi­ tions,” he says. “A largo funnel may bo laced over the outlet tube and ex­ cellent work may be done during wind or rain nnd ten acres per day dusted. Without the cone attachment, fifteen to twenty-five acres per day ^may be dusted with a good hand duster.” TNDER the provisions of the Federal Revenue Act of 1924, all teleLJ phone messages became free from tax at midnight, July 2, 1924. The taxes imposed under the previous law were as follows: On a telephone toll message for which the charge was more than fourteen cents and not more than fifty cents ...... 5 cents On a m range for which the charge was more than fifty cents 7 II cents These taxes were highest, in proportion to the charge for service, for toll messages over moderate distances, the tax in some cases amounting to one-third of the toll charge.

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 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 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. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR goes through 17 sets of roll*, every particle of flour going through the same process until it finally comes out a perfectly smooth, even granulation.

Joseph Mead, having pur­ chased the vacant bouse on the Orr Fisher farm, engaged John Francisco of Hastings to move it onto Mr. Mead’s place at Martin Corners, .and Floyd and Shirley Barnum were assisting Mr. Francisco on the job. In front of the residence of Roland Barry the electric wires cross the road to go into the house, and the electric light wires also cross the road to the opposite ride making a erias-cross of the wires. It was necessary in order to get und^r 'the telephone wire that some one should sit on top of the building and lift them np, the electric wires being up throe or four feet above- the building. Mr. Francisco himself wont up and showed Floyd how to hold tho wires and cautioning him not to raise up, got down to look after the moving of it, and Floyd forgetting tho electric wires, raised up, coming in contact with a high tension electric wire car­ rying a voltage of 2,300. That he was not instantly electrocuted seems little short of a miracle, as his head struck the electric light wires, and ho was holding the telephone wires in his hands. He was seen to slump down on the roof but, being astride the roof, did not fall, and Boland Barry who at­ tends the electric light switch on the corners, ran up and threw the switch, thus shutting off the current. ,On tak­ ing him down they saw he wts alive, aa he groaned faintly. Dr. McIntyre had been summoned in the moan time and was soon on<<bo spot aSd had Mr. Barnum revived so he became con­ scious. The doctor found he hsd a very bad burn on the top of his hesd about twice the six* of a silver dol­ lar and his hands were also badly buraed, one finger being burned to tho bone. After dressing the burns, the doctor took him to Pennock hospital, from which he was removed to bis home Sunday. It is thought that per­ haps'the roof being good and dry and his having rubber soled shoes on may have helped to save his life. It is certain every one is very pleased and thankful that it turned out so luckily for Floyd. —Our Martin Corners Corres.

THE PRICES FOR FARM PRODUCTS TAKE BIG JUMP Grains and Pork Sharply Ad- vanoe—Means Billion More Income for Fanners’ It is pleasant for th6 farmers of Barry county to note the market re­ ports. Wheat is about 30 cents a bush­ el higher as compared With a few months ago. Corn is higher. Ho$s command a better price, and sheep and wool have all along commanded good prices. The outlook would seem to be for marked improvement in the fanning industry this year; and surely the farm­ ers deserve the better time*Y that seem ahead of them. • K For the entire country the increase* so far made in corn, wheat and oat> will add 11,000,000,000 to the income of the farmers of this country. Tuesday evening about 6:45 o'clock there was an auto accident on North Michigan Ave., .due to the failure of ■the driver to observe the “stop” regulations when entering the traffic on Michigan Ave., as should have been done. The accident occurred at the inter­ section of E. High St. and Michigan when a ear being driven by Mrs. C. D. Mohler ran into one driven by Fred Payne, who was going north on Mich­ igan and who had the right of way. The Payne car was turned around, n tire .was burstod, the fender and five spokes in one rear wheel were broken. The steering arm of the Mohler ear was bent. No one was hurt although both ears contained several passengers. Not half an hour after the first ac­ cident, a large touring ear came down High St., from the west, to Michigan Ave., and failed to stop at the inter­ section. Four cars were approaching on Michigan from the north and one from the south, but the big car eut right across the street just missing a collision with the other traffic. If drivers will only observe the regu­ lations, which are for their protection as well as for other people’s, much harm can be averted. DEATH OF EDWARD WAITE, JR. Edward, the eight year old sod of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Waite, died at Blodgett hospital in Grand Rapids od Bunday, after an illness of about three weeks. At first it was thought he was afflicted with the asthma but as his condition grew worse he was taken to Grand Rapids where an op­ eration was performed on Saturday. On Sunday, while his parents weft out for dinner, the little fellow had a sink­ ing spell and passed suddenly away. A post mortem revealed an enlarged trachea and a growth in the throat. The funeral was held this Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock at the home on South Church 8t., conducted by Dr; C. E. Hoag. Burial in Riverside. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved parents, sister and brother. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR COLORED PEOPLE DOING COMMENDABLE WORK TITHING BUILDS QUAR­ TER MILLION CHURCH Visit to Mystic Centers Con­ cludes Series of Recon­ ciliation Trips Friday kfternoon was the day for the Reconciliation trip to colored Har­ lem. This surely was an experience full of revelation. We visited the Ur­ ban Longue headquarters where a health, recreation, industry and hous­ ing program for the welfare of Ne­ groes is organized. Only in cities where whites will work on the execu­ tive board with blacks is the League allowed. There wan nothing startling about this feature, but when we went to the Abyssinian Baptist ehurch our eyes opened wider. The building cost $325,900, and all the money was raised by tithing. Not a cent came from suppers or bazaars, tho preacher was proud to say. He boosted of the Italian marble pulpit, the stained glass windows from Lon­ don, the vested choir of 85 singers, the gymnasium, and community room— and *e agreed that he had a reason to boast. Then at the Y. W. C. A. we heard Mr. Bagnall as spokesman for the National Association for Advancement of Col­ ored People. He proved to us in a scholarly way that there is no such thing aa inferior and superior races biologically—only sociologically is this true nnd we whites are responsible for the conditions. Some pne of the audi­ ence asked why the Negroes of Africa had not developed a civilization of worth, and his reply was that that con­ tinent is isolated and does not have favorable climate or noil. I should like to investigate the comparison of the resources of this vast area with those of Europe before the age of the Greeks, for I believe in the beginning wc had an equal start. However, this problem stands. We adjourned to eat in the cafeteria of this splendid Y. W. building where there is a swimming pool, gym, class rooifls and club rooms as wen. At the Liberty Hall we were intro­ duced to Sir Robert Poston, knighted “Sir” by. his admiring black com­ rades. The “beautiful” colored girl sitting on the platform with him, we were told is a sculptress who desired to go to Prance for study on a scholar­ ship but was barred because of color. She is now Sir Robert’s wife and ho is going to send her to Europe next year. Thia brave man represented the sentiments of the Universal Negro Imftrovement Association, which has for ts slogan, “Africa for tho Africans.” He declared that Americans are armed bullies who bluff the races by their program of the humility and love of Jesus. The Universal Negro Improve(Continued on page four.) SALVATION ARMY TAG DAY IS SATURDAY Canvassing Committee Is Meet­ ing With Splendid Success U«l„ tho leadership ot Pan C. Walldorff, chairman, and M. A. Lambie, treasurer, the Salvation Army campaign is being prosecuted to whst promises to be a successful conclusion. The following men are conducting the canvass: Wm. J. Reed, Dr. Frank Carrothers, Frank Sage, F. L. Bauer, Clyde Wilcox, Wm. L. Chase, R. H. Loppenthien, Dr. J. A. Wooton, Robert T. Walton, Lorent Schrumpf, Joe MeKnight, A. K. Frandsen, Chas. H. Os­ born, George F. Miller, A. J. Larsen, M. L. Cook. A ladies’ committee un­ der the direction of Mrs. Clyde Wileoi has taken the more difficult task of canvassing the outlying districts. Tag day, which will be held next Saturday, is under the charge of Mrs. E. A. Burton. With such leadership any movement in Hastings is sure to succeed. CANDIDATES SHOULD FILE PETITIONS EARLY So They May Be Checked Over and Corrected—First Ones Received Monday of His Service On page 8 of this issue will be found the advertisement of Congressman John C. Ketcham announcing his can­ didacy for representative in congress from this district, whore tradition is that a congressman's usefulness ia in­ creased by the length of his service. That was the reason why his prede eesaor, tho late Congressman Hamilton, of Niles represented this district for 24 years consecutively. Congressman Hamilton correctly stated the ease when he once said in •ibstanec that two terms in congress jest made the founds tion for a real service to his district and to his country. As the only ^opponent Mr. Keteham will have this year is a Berrien eounty mnn, a Benton Harbor lawyer, it would seem as though the district surely had satisfied Bernen Bounty’s claims when it kept Congressman Hamilton, a Ber­ rien county -man, in that office for 24 years. Mr. Sterling would have to do as did Mr. Hamilton, spend the first four years ia just preparing to nerve, as did Mr. Hamilton. Why not keep the man we have had there for four years, who is now in position to give his very best service to the district! Would not that be good judgmentf Wo think it would. In ability and character Mr. Keteh­ am is in every wav worthy of thia honor of a renomination. No one could be more conscientious in his work. Ho has sought to carry out the 120 platform pledges of bis party, on which platform ke was first chosen. He annouoces his acceptance and en­ dorsement of the'Blatform of his party adopted at Cleveland this year, and believes that President Coolidge is ex­ actly tho type ofutxeeutive this coun­ try needs at this tnhq. He points to the fact that the new- revenue law, which he supported, reduces that fcmi of taxation 54 per cent in this district, and that he will support the further reductions which the President has an­ nounced his purpose to propose. Mr. Ketcham recognises that the leading industry in this district is agri­ culture, and has voted and worked for measures designed to promote the prosperity of fanning. He has a fine record of service to his district. We believe tho beat interests of tho dis­ trict will he furthered by the renomi­ nation and re-election of John C. '* Ketcham as congressman. HASTINGS BOY TELLS OF COLLEGE FELLOWS’ TRIP ON THE SAXONIA FINE WEATHER AND GOOD TIMES ENJOYED Now Touring Southern Eng­ land and Visiting His­ toric Spots Tx>tteni received during the past week from Richard Cook, son of the junior editor of the BANNER, tell of his safe arrival at Plymouth on July 1st. He is now in company with a friend, a former Michigan University Gduato, Wilfred Emmons, at present •.ructor in French in Salisbury Col­ lege, Connecticut, with whom he will travel thru the British Isles and the Continent. We publish a portion of his first two letters below, and hope to present more during the summer. On Board Canard liner Saxonia I am sure you folks would like an ocean voyage. I hope some day you may be able to take one (at my ex­ pense). The Saxonia is a slow boat and it will be about a ten day trip to Ply­ mouth its first landing place, where I leave. There are over 800 college boys on board the third cabin quarters, and as it holds accommodations for 1100 wc are not over-crowded. I have ns my bunk mate in a four-berth enbin a good fellow by the name of Smith, who took his Master’s from Harvard last year. I thought there would be nothing to do on the boat but loaf, read and write letters but tho contrary has proved true. Doek games sre popular—tennis, shuf­ fle-board, qnoits etc. Other forms of exercise not being possible they get away fine. There have been dances on board nearly every night, and the slightly roll­ ing deck makes it quite a trick to man­ euver about properly and not take a spill. I sleep like a log every night. The bunks are verv comfortable, much more so than they looked at first sight. I hated to hear the breakfast call this morning. Yesterday I saw a whale spouting a mile away. It was quite a sight. He would plunge under and then come near the surface and spout. Once I saw his great bulky head and at another time his tail. Am glad I did not bring my winter overcoat because so far I have been comfortable without even a vest. The weather has been fine and no wind— just the ordinary ocean swells. The meals have been very good nnd the sea breeve doss s lot toward whipping up-a splendid appetite. I met some nice English people on board who gave me a list of places they considered specially worth while seeing. One thing that interests mo greatly is the phosphorescent glow every night. At times it looked as though the sea was lighted from underneath, especially the (Continued on page 3.) Wm. W. Potter At last Governor Groesbeck comes out nnd announces what has been sus­ pected all along, viz. that he is a candi­ date for a third term. We can hardly see the basis for tho Governor’s appeal on the grounds that taxation hns been reduced by him, which would indicate that the Governor would claim that the expense of state admin­ istration had been decreased. Taxes on real estate have been decreased; but thia has been offset by the new tax on corporations, which has been about ns much us the regular tax has been de­ creased, and in addition to that there hns been a big increase in the receipts from the automobile tax. During the Governor’s term, nearly all of $50,000,000 voted by the people of this state for the building of roads has been used. Of course the people voted these bonds, but in our judg­ ment it was unnecessary to have used all of them. If the Governor had not flim-flammed tho people of this state out of n gasoline tax, there would not have been any necessity for using to exceed $30,000,000 of the bond issue at tho present time. The Governor does not come out squarely and say that he is in favor of a gasoline tax, without reference to other matters, but couples it with a proposed weight tax. And remem­ bering what he did before, it would be fair to presume that he would pot favor a gasoline tax unless he got just the kind of a weight tax he wanted. In many respects Governor Groesbeck has made a good governor; but we thing he has been altogether too obsti­ nate and altogether too mindful of the interests of Detroit. Wo think Has­ tings has tho logical candidate in the person of Hon. W. W. Potter. PEOPLE AT COUNTY HOME TO BE GUESTS Of Hunt Stock Co. at tho Reg­ ular Performance Friday Evening, Aug. 1 FINE LEGACY LEFT BY MAR CARET BAILEY FREEMAN AS MEMORIAL TO HER FIRST HUSBAND, ALVIN W.

JULY 23, 1«M FINDS HENS(Continued from page one.) water churned up by tho boat. One very dark night when tho wind was stronger than usual I noticed the white caps were glowing with a white light ns far away ns I could see. It was weird. We arrived here at Plymouth, at 10 n. fa. to-day, July 1st. The Lord Mayor . of Plymouth came on board and gave our college gang en address of welcome and it was very good. We had an un­ usually calm passage all the way over. Wilfred was on the pier waiting for me I can hardly realize over 3000 miles of land and ocean separate me from the “Old Town”, and that I can­ not jump on a train and ride back home. We are planning some fine trips thru rural England. We are leaving Plymouth now for Exeter and the Lorna Doone country. 27 Vickers Close, Wells EnglandJuly 4. We started our English tour an hour or so after landing as Plymouth presents nothing of special interest. English trains are quite different from ours, but are not at all uncomfortable,—even third class. Their loaches are divided into compartment* instead of aisles and their locomotives remind me of those I have seen in illustrations picturing ones in use in our country years ago. Exeter our first stop is an old town and contains a cathedral that dates from the 13th century. It is not as large or as noted for its beauty as many other* but as it was my first “original one!’ it made quite an impression on ma and I took it in quite fully. Tfce walls are blackened and covered with moss. Its statuary <wa» marred considerably by Cromwell's Christian soldiers. In fact the first impression was of its musty, moth eaten appearance, but the fine outline remein* end in spite of the fact that it is constructed of massive walls of masonry, reinforced by great buttresses, the whole building ha* a light and graceful appearance. Exeter itself contain* some interest­ ing oM rows of houses, but unfortun­ ately it's in the slum quarter, and the narrow street* and odors from the dwellings don’t give one a desire to linger longer. Wo had planned to take the bus for a ride thru Dartmouth and the Lorna Doone country, but as they were not running that particular day we took the train to Dnlverton, Ono of the places mentioned in Lorna Doone, do you remember! We stayed at the Red Lion Inn a quaint old place used chiefly by people who come to this part of the country during the fishing and hunting season. Dulverton is two miles from a railroad and I fancy has never changed. An old gentleman at the Inn said the busses did not pass within sight of the famous Valley of the Doonea, although most tourists thought they did. He call­ ed our attention to an old print hanging on the walls of the Inn-aed Mid that it Vas an excellent representation of Doone valley—< wild, draplate place sure enough. We had excellent meals at this old Inn and the beds were com­ fortable. We were glad we came here instead of going across the moorland. After a night at the Red Lion we start­ ed for Wells and after several short stop overs arrived hero at about three o ’clock. We walked over by the Cathe­ dral, a beautiful building, and manag­ ed to secure lodging at this place Vick­ ers Close—right in tho shadow of the Cathedral. All of the buildings in this Close were built several centuries ago and servo as residences for people connected with the Cathedral. The buildings are grouped aronnd a court and a picturesque old gateway built about the same time as the Cathedral serves as an entrance. In spite of its age worn exterior the interior is re­ markably well preserved and contains some fine colored glass windows. In connection with the Cathedral grounds is the Bishop’s palaee, now in ruins, surrounded by a wall and moat, a typical Medieval fortification. This afternoon we took the bus or rather a “charabanc” to Cheddar, fam­ ed for its eheese, and visited Goucher’s Cave. This contains some beautiful limestone and rock formations. A small cavern in the eave running back several yards from the worn path, is especially worth a visit as it contains hundreds of various colored stalactites and stalag­ mite*. Cheddar canyon is quite noted in this section but didn't impress me greatly—remembrances of Colorado canyons I suppose accounting. July 5 BARBYVUJaE.

POTTER IS OUT FOR GOVERNOR Has Annennced His Candidacy and Hie Nominating Petition, Are Being Generously Signed It will be e m.tter ol pleeimre to Snaoy Bony Coorty Heli. of e. W, W. Potter, CUimao of the I, Poblie Utilities Cotamisalon, thot be be. Boeooeeetl that he will be a candidate for Governor on the Repub­ lican ticket at the coming primaries. >(r. Potter is too well known in Barry County where he was born, grow to manhood, and practiced law for 25, years or more, to need any introduc­ tion. He is known to be a elose stu­ dent, not only’ of law, but of general event*. During his practice of the law in this county, he had won the reputation of being one of the fore­ most lawyers in Western Michigan. For several years before he accepted a position on the State Utilities Com­ mission, it was felt that one of his splendid legal mind would bo in de­ mand in larger fields, even though he Aowed his loyalty to Barry county by maintaining his residence here. On the State Public Utilities Com­ mission he has won a reputation for ability, and clote application, that ex­ tends far beyond the limits of "Michi­ gan. The problem* that have come to him for solution have been knotty and perplexing, but as is His usual custom ho has dug down to the bottom of things, and his decisions have been recognized as universally just and fair. • His knowledge of the law; knowing the needs of the state; his long con­ nection with state polities; and his wide acquaintance in Michigan where his splendid ability is recognized, should all eomblnc to make him a formidable candidate. Mr. Potter -stands with President Coolidge in desiring to ent down the burden of taxation, by reducing state expenses to the lowest possible notch, and favors a tax on gasoline for high­ way construction and maintenance. His petitions have been received hero and have been very generously signed. It stands without question that should he receive the nomination, Barry coun­ ty will roll up-u big majority for him next November. of Spring and Summer Merchandise!

One of the GREATEST VALUES IN Underwear We Have Ever Given! Women’s Silk Top Union Suits Ten Cents COOLIDGE TO AID DAIRY FARMERS Washington, D. C., July 21.—Presi­ dent Coolidge, with characteristic firm­ ness, has directed the tariff commission to make an investigation of the tariff on butter. This aetion has been taken by tho President on account of -the rapidly increasing importation of this dairy product from Denmark and othe» countries. Mr. Coolidge is determined that those who have brought thia form of industry to such a high standard shall have ail the protection that he is able to giVc them, and all the machinery of the government will be directed by the women on tho dairy farms are given all the aid that it is possible for the government to render. The situation io one that emphasizes the wisdom of a traiff that is flexible, one that enn be changed to meet sud­ den changes in conditions. For the year ending May 30, 1923, 12,800,000 pounds of butter came into thia country and in tho year ending May 30,1924, the butter importation* had increased to the amaz­ ing total of 28,744,000 pounds, prac-l tically double the amount of the pre­ vious year and further increase in im­ portations would have the effect of causing great hardship to thousands en£.ged in tho dairying business, more pecially those living in Iowa, Wis­ consin, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, Ne­ braska, Oregon, Washington, 'Califor­ nia, New York, Vermont and Maine. While the present dnty on batter is 8 cents per pound the importations have been increasing at such a rate as to cause or at least threaten serious competition with the output of the dairymen of the country. President Coolidge is determined and ha* shown by his actions that he does not intend that anyone ' engaged in working in any of our numerous indus­ tries shall suffer from the competition of Europe where labor is cheap and the standards of living far below those that exist in this country. He will use all the power at his command to see that the investigation is conducted with as much speed as possible. ■ YANKEE BPEINQS Chas.

WATERS & SON The Better Store for Men The Inside History of The So-Called “Independ ent” Convention in Cleveland July 4 and 5 The proceedings of the so-called Independent convention, which was held in Cleveland July 4 and 5, have never been written in an understand­ able way. Through sources of informa­ tion, which we are not at liberty to disclose, the BANNER is able to give a substantially correct account of the proceedings. There appeared before that body, which was called by Senator Robert M. LaFolfette, his personal representative, who in hi* behalf said in substance: “I, Robert M. LaFollcttc, not having been nominated for the office of Presi­ dent by either of the two political par­ ties, feel it incumbent upon me to state that there must be an Independent can­ didate for the presidency.” Whereupon the Cleveland convention, which was called by the Senator, re­ sponded, “We think so too, Bob.” Through his representative the Sena­ tor then proceeded to declare in effect: .“As I am the only man whoz can qualify as an Independent, I hereby inform you that I am the nominee of this convention for President. The people must rule. As I am the original Vox Populi, it is but fitting that I should make myself the people’s ehoiee. I say it; and I am Robert M. LnFoHstte, who called this convention! I am there­ fore the convention! ” Whereupon that body declared, “We say so, too.” The next statement coming from the man who had summoned the con- his representative, was substantially this: “Realizing thnt the people aro clam­ oring for a platform, and that a dec­ laration of principles is a very im­ portant part of the proceedings of this convention which I have called, and that it should therefore be accept­ able to me, I have written the platform which you will now adopt. Here it is.” Whereupon the delegates responded: “Right you are.” The next announcement from Senator LaFollette, through his spokesman, was substantially this: “I recognize that tho Vice Presidency is very important. The Vice President presides over the United States senate. It is essential to the welfare of the people that I control the entire gov­ ernment. I will therefore take it upon myself to name the Independent candi­ date for Viee President.” Whereupon the delegates, who had been assembled at his call, said: “Bob, you go to it” But this was not all that emanated from this modest man, for in substance the following eame to the convention from him through his personal repre­ sentative: “J do not relish having laws annul­ led which I recommend, no matter how far they may trepass upon the con­ stitutional rights of American citizens. Therefore I insist that you give espec­ ial prominence to that plank, in my platform, which will practically das- YAIB LAKE. Mn. Arthur Knowles and Mr. and Mn., L.

We will end it by making me the one and only Boss, because I am the people! ” And tho convention with loud acclaim replied: “Of course. Bob. You’re It.” As a jort of final word to the body, • for whoso coming together bo was reKnaiblo, tho. Senator, in substance, lared: “I nm probably the most modest man who ever lived. There never has been ono so groat. Washing­ ton—what was hot Lincoln—what of him! More puppets when compared to ME. I am the one nnd only Great It. There never has been nor can be an­ other such an It. Yon have shown your confidence in my modest claims by coming all tho way to Cleveland to do my bidding—accepting me as your presidential candidate, a* I have direct­ ed you to do; permitting me to name the candidate for Vice President, no matter whether you like him or not; allowing me to write the entire plat­ form;- giving your sanction to the de­ struction of the Constitution as framed by the Fathera-Mill of which goes to show that you fully recognize that I am It. You have had the good sense- to let the people ratify my humble judgment of myself as being the only man who has the right to rule the people, because in every truth—I AM THE PEOPLE!” And when Senator LaFollette can be It, he is willing to play.

Cloyd Apple, Hastings .... Cariune Pawson, Hastings Harry B. Parkhurst, Nashville Irene Elwood, Nashville........ Every once in a while you will see some young, or middle-aged fel­ low, start out and make a very rapid climb upward in the business world. A lot of people will say: “Oh, he’s lucky.” The fact is that it is not “LUCK” in the great majority of cases. If the real truth were known it would be found that that young man had simply solved the problem of “SAVING HIS MONEY.” When opportunity came he was ready. There is no royal road to wealth, nor is the secret of Success tied up in the Sphinx. It’s an “open way” to any careful observer. You take any of the great financiers of today, or any time in our past, they ATI, started in by SAVING. That’s the first necessary step toward “Success.” SAVING money isn’t always an EASY thing to do, but it IS a SIMPLE thing to do. It demands just one thing—and that is to spend less than you earn, and make your money WORK FOR YOU. That’s all there is to it. If you’ll watch closely you’ll find there is more SAVINGS BANK “LUCK” than any other. You can become one of the “LUCKY” ones yourself by opening an account here.

Hastings National Bank The Only National Bank in Barry County CAMPAIGN FOR MTI0» BARRY COUNTY PROFITED DIRECTLY DURING THE PASTYEAR COMMITTEES ARE BEING ORGANIZED Workers Hope Quota May Be Oversubscribed—Plan to Do Your Best (Continued from last week.) The churches are the foundation of society, and no one would want to live in a c'hurchleaa and Godless community. But, by their very constitution, they arc unable to do certain types of work. People who are ragged and distressed will not go near a church. The Salva­ tion Army is trained and qualified to help such people and so supplements the chureh. That is why I am for it rtrong. A. K. Frandsen. J believe in the Salvation Army be­ cause its working force is devoted to an unselfish life of usefulness and serv­ ice with no thought of personal gain or material reward. C. P. Lathrop, M. D. When is comes to doing the largest amount of good with the smallest amount of money you’ve got to hand it to the Salvation Army. I am for it, D. Murray, D. D. 8. The Salvation Army does a wonder­ ful work. The socret of its success, in my opinion, is that they do their work in the true Christian spirit. C. F. Angell. I am a friend to any orranixation that is a friend to the friendless. The Salvation Army does the kind of work that we would all like to do, but does it better than we could. Its legiti­ mate needs should be prom^tl^met. One thing* about the Salvation Army that appeals to me is its freedom from sectarianism. A person is never asked For Bate by B. A. LyBARKER Haottap, Mich. whether he is Catholic or Protestant, Jew or Gentile, but is helped at once. Clyde Wilcox. I believe in the Salvation Army be­ cause it helps those who need help most. It foods first and preaches after­ wards. No person who is suffering ever appeals to it in vain. Chas. 8. Potts. One thing that I like about the Sal­ vation Army is that it never loses faith in men. Ito motto, ‘A man may bo down but he is never out," has saved many a poor fellow whom the rest of us have been inclined to regard as a mere bum. Robert B. Walton. A life devoted to the service of the poor, like that of the Salvation Army people, may win an inner sense of duty well done, but it doesn't got anywhere in the material way. I believe it's up to the rest of us to see that the lim­ ited needs of these faithful people are provided for. R. H. Loppenthicn. He must be atony hearted indeed who can hear unmoved the world’s cry of distress. That cry is sounding in our ears now in the annual appeal of the Solvation Army. I am sure that all generous hearts will respond. Wm. L. Chase. The Salvation Army occupies a field by itself. It has shown itself to bo remarkably successful in reaching and helping classes who seem to be beyond the roach of churches and welfare or­ ganizations. Its work is unique and necessary. Frank Sage. Some years ago General Booth, now deceased, wished to send a New Year’s greeting to Salvation Army officers all over the world. To save the cost of a long cable message he sent the one word, "Others.” This word character­ izes the Army. It lives for others. Thia, I believe^ is the secret both «f its success and its popularity. John Ironside. Coming in contact with Salvation Army work through secretaryship of the Poor Board of Barry County I can heartHy recommend the Salvation Army both for the results accomplished and ‘for its economy of administration. Chas. H. Osborn. Whether amid the flashing, terrifying dangers of war, or fn the dull, drab, humdrum duties of every day life, the Salvation Army is always faithful to its trust Raising our quota for thia wonderful organization ought to be the easiest public task ever undertaken. Joe McKnight. Anyone who respects sincerity and honors real heroism has got to think highly of the Salvation Army. I do. Kim Sigler. I have great respect for the Salva­ tion Army because it undertakes the hardest, and at the same time the most important of all tasks, namely, the re­ lief of the unfortunate and distressed. Dr. Oarrothen. The Salvation Army stands at the danger line, rescuing those who arc driven by stern adversity, and turning back erring footsteps into the path of COURT HOUSE NEWS honor and safety. Its flag has never had a stain. I count is a pleasure to PROBATE COURT. speak a friendly word for such a noble Estate of Permclia A.

Reliability of supply is the vital need of the millions of automobiles whirl of thousands of fad metropolitan center. Consumers, too frequently, think of crude oil in terms of gushers. They do not realize that the gusher is only a tem­ peramental display of nature and utterly unreliable for the purpose of doing the world's work. Only through vast storage facilities, maintained at great expense by the Standard Oil Company (In­ diana) and other companies in the oil industry, can the motorist rely on a dependable supply of gaso­ line and lubricants for his car during the height of The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a huge investment in farms of steel storage tanks, located st strategic points throughout ha territory. These enormous tanks, filled to capacity in the off-season, are mute guarantors of a dependable supply in the rush season. The experience of 1023 is indicative of just how ex­ pensive is maintenance of oil storage. During that year the prices of crude petroleum were changed 105 days but of 355, due to fluctuations in produc­ tion. From April to December every price change was a reduction—this period covering the heaviest motoring season of the year. When it ia considered that th. cil in storage in April went in during the off-season, before the de­ cline in price, it is evident that storage imposes a heavy burden on oil companies.

PAGES 1 to 6 CAMP MEET­ A Signal Honor to Congressman Ketcham! WESLEYAN ING OPENS AUGUST 17 Congressman Ketcham last weak received one of the highest compliments that eould be paid him for his work in congress—he was placed on a congres­ sional black-list by Senator LaFollette! Our Congressman’s name was heralded to the world by thia Wisconsin states­ man (!) ns having so voted in congress as not only to have incurred the dis­ pleasure of thnt self-appointed political dictator, but to have so far gone astray from LaFolletteism that his name must bo included in tho LaFollette congres­ sional black-list! Horrible thought!! The Wisconsin political autocrat has constituted himself the sole and only judgo of the services to the country of President Coolidge all the senators and congressmen, and has singled out these 89 and put them on his “ expurgntoris” list and seeks to make them “anethema” to their fellow Americans. He has thereby, without so intending, conferred the highest honor upon each individual congressman on his “black-list.’’ It is a matter of great satisfaction to Congressman Ketcham’s friends, who include the majority of tho people of this congressional district, that our con­ gressman has so voted and so conducted himself at Washington as to have earn­ ed tho signal distinction of inelusion in the LaFollette black-list. Some people’s memories will go baek to tho days before and immediately af­ ter America entered the war, when Sen­ ator LaFollette’.* sympathy with Kaiserism led him to the border land, if not beyond it, of traitorism to his own coun­ try; when his pronounced Pro-German sentiments expressed in his speeches and votes led to serious consideration of a proposition to expel him from the United State* senate. For such a man as that to publish a black-list and expect decent Americans to consider it seriously raises it to the dignity of a joke. Think of the affrontery of it! A sens tor who is supported by the socialists, tho discontented eleipent*. whose discon­ tent he is constantly fanning, the man who is everlastingly criticising every one else, ought never to expect that plain, common-sens! Americans would treat his black-list with anything less than the merited contempt it deserves. Where is the consistency of LaFol­ lette assuming to be such n high type of American that he can black-list 89 congraUMMD because they did not obey his will, and at the same time accept a $500,000 pledge. for his campaign fund from the United Hebrew Trades and the Jewish Socialist Alliance of New York City! A real American in our opinion would not be consorting with Jewish or any other Socialists, nor accepting fund# for the promotion of his Presidential tampaigu from men who come to Amencn to better their condition, but who. insist upon main­ taining their racial separateness and their own language and language {ta­ pers. Many of thtm strive to over­ throw our form of gevernment and substitute socialism, nnd most of whom want to maintain themselves almost as <li*linctly foreign in this country as they did in the Ghetto districts of Europe. Think of a man who consorts nnd accepts financial aid from people who seemingly pride themselves on their racial nloofnci* nnd n large ele­ ment of which is inflamably Socialistic —-think of such a man black listing anybody else!! Who ijr'Robfcrt M. La Follette that he should sit in judgment on his betters? He is the man who assumes-to be^o much wiser than Washington, Jefferson. Adams, Franklin, Hamilton and Lincoln that he would destroy our federal con­ stitution, destroy American rights and our balanced representative government by making the will of congress, which mny be controlled by such as he, set aside any decision of the supremo court, that body which the Fathers devised to stand between tho rights of the hum­ blest American, and any congress which might be controlled by a few such self ish, egotistical men as LaFollette, who would become a political oligarchy, just such as ruled Germany in the pre-war days, when Germany was the subject of such tender consideration by LaFollette. The real LaFollette is shown by hi* attitude toward the Cleveland conven­ tion which he called, which nominated him for the Presidency. LaFollette not only called that convention, but insisted on writing its platform and on nominat­ ing the vice-president also! There’s a healthy example of “Let tho people rule!” LaFollette has revealed his real self ns a self-seeking political autocrat and dictator. And this is the man who assumes to blaek-list 89 republican congressmen, in­ cluding our own! Honor to you, John C. Ketehnm, that you have so voted in congress and have stood for such principles that this Wis­ consin autocrat puts you on his black­ list!

Rev. Henry Ostrom will preach twice daily. Dr. Ostrnm was present in 1921, and many from Hastings and communi­ ty expressed themselves as desirous of hearing him again. This will be your opportunity. Clarence Cosand and wife of Damas­ cus, Ohio, will have charge of the mu­ sic. If you have heard those people sing in other years you will surely want to hear them again.

MICHIGAN MANUSCRIPTS Photographers Find Ink Which Has Faded Into Illegibility May •tilt Be Opaque to Ultra-Violet Rays. Photographers have found that they can obtain very different effects when quartz lamps are used in place of the more common sources of light The reason is simple enouglu The quarts allows the ready passing of the socalled ultra-violet rays of light, which will not penetrate glass, and these In turn produce a different effect from the rest of the rsys. With colored vases, flowers or dress goods the effects are equally surpris­ ing and sometimes nay lead to Impor­ tant applications. Tor instaocj, a French photographer h*s found that Ink which has faded in*e Illegibility may still be npaqne to the ultra-vieflet rays.

PHONE 2110 HASTINGS -0-0-0- Judge made his rulings, might, so it would appear, have connected some, if not oil of tho other eight Lapeer agents with the conspiracy against the Hastiags company’s business by Blan­ der. The fnct that the Lapeer company maintained a stuff of lawyers to rep­ resent it at tho beginning of the pro­ ceedings and kept all of these attorneys on tho job all tho way through the trial of tho two agents, after tho com­ pany itself had been dismissed from the proceedings, would seem to be nt least nn indication that tho Lapeer company itself might now be charged with having at least ]>crmittcd the cam­ paign of slander, which was aimed at the business of the Hastings company by the Lapeer agent*. Mr. Miller is said to be a wealthy farmer. Ho will naturally not relish the predicament in which he is now placed. Unless the Lapeer company shall come to his nid and pay tho heavy damages assessed against him and the heavy costs, which will probably reach $5,000, he stands to be a heavy loser. The jury consisted of six women and six men; and a woman, Mrs. Dr. Bar­ ber, of Lansing, was tho foreman of the jury. She is one of the leading wurnvu of the Capitol city. The jury was out ten or twelve hours. From whnt we have been told about tho ver­ dict, the jury was agreed that damage* should bo imposed against the two de­ fendants, the question being how much. One of the jurors, so we are informed, was in favor of as high a verdict as $150,000. Some of the others favored a less sum than $10,000. They compro­ mised on the $40,000 verdict. The defendants’ lawyers seemed de­ termined to make Secretary Andrus, of the local company, the goat in this cam. They asserted that it was vin­ dictiveness on hi* part that caused the suit to be started. They endeavored to have charges which they made against his personal character become n part of the defense. Judge Dingman, however, in his charge to tho jury, waived all thi* aside and told the ju­ ror* that any alleged personal miscon­ duct of Mr. Andrus as an individual had no place in tho case. The jury must simply determine as to what these two agents had actually done in their alleged campaign to get the Hasting company’s policyholders to cancel their insurance and give their insurance to tho Lppccr company, without any ref­ erence to who was or who was not the secretary of the Hastings company, and without any regard to what hi* individual, personal life might or might not be. The sole question was: Did these two agents, or did they not, con­ spire to damage the Hasting* com­ pany’s business by slanderf The defendants were represented by five attorneys, John M. Gould, of this citv; a Mr. Halfen, of Lapeer; Messrs. Shield* and Thomas, of Lansing; and Mr. Branatrom, of Fremont. The Has­ tings company was represented by At- torney Charles E- Ward, of Grand Rap­ ids, who took practically the entire charge of tho case for the local comfnny. He wu, however, assisted by is junior partner, Mr. Strawheokw, of Grand Rapids. Mr. Boice, n Laming attorney, aided in the selection of the jury, and was consult ed by Mr. Ward aa the case proceeded. Judge Dlngmnn, in commenting on the caac after the trial, said that it was an absolutely new Uno of legal proceednig; that he had searched hundred* of authorities for precedent* to guide him in hi* rulings, and had found not one single ease like it in tho numerous law book* and court decision* which he had looked up. He, therefore, had to blare the wny for a new type of legal pro­ ceeding. Every buaineK- innn, evfty corpora­ tion or buslno- institution, of every name and description, i* directly inter­ ested and ought to rejoice over the jury** decision in this case. All of these must also commend the Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance company, of this city, for having bad the nerve to tackle the proposition in the way it did, and put an end to such con­ temptible campaign* of slander and defamation aa were carried on by the two agent* of the Lapeer company to damage the business of it* Hastings rival. Had the proceeding* failed, the carrying on of that sort of unfair buaincs* tactic* would have been en­ couraged. There is not a bank in any city, not a business house, not n news­ paper, not a factory in thi* or any other community, whose business would not be injured if the agents of it* rival*, or if people from pure maliciousno**, would bo allowed to injure their business by Blander and vilification. They dare not do it after such a ver­ diet a* was rendered in this case. Attorney Charles E. Ward deserve* tho thank* of every fair-minded man, and particularly of every honest-mind­ ed business man. in this or any other community, for having pioneered the wny for proceeding* that will protect the business of any reputable institu­ tion from damage by vilification and slander on the part of those who would set out thus to do it damage. Every­ body know* that any business can be hurt by such disreputable means. Attorncy’Wnrd praised Secretary Andrus, of the local Windstorm company, for the thoroughness with which' this case was prepared and for his persistence in sticking "by it and seeing it through to its successful conclusion. 'President Sunday was also in attendance upon tho trial, and was interested in having the company ’* business protected from the unfair method* pursued by Lapeer com­ pany agents.* Several of the Hastings company directors were also present at the trial when they could arrange to be in Lansing. Thor© is believed to be no doubt now that if the Hasting* company cares to begin further proceedings agninst tho other eight defendants and also tho Lapeer company itself, it might now be able to secure damages ngninst them. The Hastings company now has considerable additional proof as to the conspiracy, and can also show that nt the trial nt lousing, the attor­ neys for tho lancer company persisted to' tho very epJ in defending it* two agents, who were convicted by the ♦>~i >»»»♦»♦♦» .................................... ..

Thi* action of the Lapeer attorneys would seem to indicate a close connec­ tion between the Lupccr company and its two convicted agent*. The question of further legal proceedings is up to the board of directors and the manage­ ment of the local company. Every business man or business In­ stitution doing n reputable business and treating competitor* fairly, can now feel that a way han been opened where­ by they enn, through the courts, pun­ ish any competitor, or the employees of such competitor, or person* who may not be in tho employ of a competitor, for conspiring in any way to damage their busineas. Law suits do not ordinarily settle very much. This one, however, is a very marked exception. It has gone far toward demonstrating the proposi­ tion that a conspiracy to damage an individual's or a corporation’s burinos* by resorting to a campain of slander nnd untruths, in actionable in the courts, that the individual agent* of any man or institution—and the in­ stitution itself, if proof* shall warrant it—can be made to pay heavy damages for a resort Io unfair nnd unwarranted practice*. It has cost the Windstorm company a large sum of money to pro­ tect its business against tho disrepu­ table tactics of the two agents of the Lapeer company. The Hasting* com­ pany hna, won a splendid victory. In doing so, it has'also made more secure every other lawful business in this state—and that is a very real and a very commendable service, which all fair-minded people will appreciate.

Come often, Killed Instantly Saturday When Car Turned Turtle Oft Roadway Our Freeport correspondent sends us the following account of the fatal ac­ cident which befell Mrs. Wm. Fox on Saturday: Friends of Mrs. Wm.

Mr. and Mrs. Fox and the latter's brother. Hex Crouse, had been to Alto and were returning home whoa in some unexpected manner the Nash car left the road near the Aldrieh home, just north of Bowne Center, went into the ditch and turned turtle, pinning Mrs. Fox underneath and probably kill­ ing her instantly. Mr. Fox and Mr. Crouse were both cut and bruised con­ siderably, and the ear was badly dam­ aged. The body of Mrs. Fox was re­ moved to L. B. Lester’s undertaking rooms. The funeral was held from the residence Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. Beeket of Alto, burial in Pleas­ ant Hill cemetery at Freeport. The Lady Maccabees, of which Mrs. Fox was a member, had charge of the service at the grave.

'Investigation discloses an alarming increase in Mr. Plummer says, which now ranks with the leading industries America, totaling over one ion dollars.” “Legitimate new security offerings sold in 1923 aggregated $3,265,400,000. billion dollars that went into the sewers of American finance last year totaled nearly k third of the country’s entire investments in established industries. It was practically a third of the money spent on new buildings which totaled $3,046,875,000. Money spent on iron and steel products was only two and a half times what was wasted on wild-cat securities. “Compared with the $2,252,000,000 spent by Americans for motorcars in 1923, which was the banner year in the automobile business, the billion dollars collected by fake stock peddlers would have purchased about 2,000,000 more automobiles than the 4,008, 085 cars sold in 1923. , ‘ "The billion dollars thrown away on wasteful promotions equaled the money spent by all American cities of 30,000 population and over on public improvements last year." In other word* every tchool, hotpital, road and public improvement of every det- by the wealth diverted into unproductive channel*. Overthrow of Constitution Will Result in Autocracy Rule What was considered by those who heard it as one of the most informing addresses ever given before the Rotary Club of this city was that made Mon­ day noon,, July 7,* by the Hon. W. W. Potter, of Lansing, chairman of the Michigan Utilities Commission. His general theme was that of the rights of the common man __ safeguarded by the Constitution; and bow vitally interested every American eitioan ought to bo In preserving that supreme fundamental basis of our gov­ ernment, which guarantees personal rights, religious and civil liberty to every American citizen. Mr. Potter traced the historic strug­ gle that has been madb to secure huni.-in liberty. He told how in former civilizations, and in the earlier days of modern civilization, ‘ the rights of the individual man had depended upon the whim of kings or of some ruling aristodcaey. . After much.struggling, . the common people becu red a partial recog­ nition of their rights by substituting representative parliaments as the su­ preme authority instead of kings. This was a wonderful stop in advance, but erty which the citizens of the United States enjoy. Parliaments change with every elec­ tion. A country like England, which ia without a constitution, must accept any law that parliament may choose to enact, no matter how much it may invade individual rights. As a mat* tor of feet, the English parliament did frequently enadt laws which took from courts the right to adjudge whether a man was within his rights in what he did or .possessed, and passed laws of attainder, which condemned in­ dividuals to death or imprisonment, or took away their property, and the in­ dividual had no enanee to defend himselbecause parliament is supreme. Our early colonial history evidence# tho same kind of a situation. The col­ onies* derived their rights from char­ ters granted to them by the king of England, in his capacity as sovereign. He was thp judge solely ns to what had been or what had not been grant­ ed by the charter, which ho had given to the colony. When not interfered with by the/king, the legislatures of the colonies could and did pass laws, •which took away from courts all right to pass judgment upon human rights, and sent metT to the gallows or prison, or confiscated their property. The in­ dividual bad no ehanee for redress, for the legislature was supreme in the colony, subject only to -limitation by the British icing. When Americans were brought to feel that they were being treated with rank injustice bf the king and 'parlia­ ment of Englapd, who imposed taxes that, so long as the supreme court of the United States functions, his rights are absolutely secure. Finally Mr. Potter pointed out the danger to the every-day American citi­ zen from the proposition urged by Sena­ tor LaFoUette, who would have the supreme court transformed into a rub- upon the cronies when they had no representation, there-was first made a congress. In other words, if congress declaration of rights, which is found should pass a law, under the LaFoUette jn the immortal Declaration of Inde­ plan, and the supremo court should declare that that law is unconstitu­ pendence. Thia was foliowad by a tional, congress could nullify the Con­ federation of the colonies \n order that stitution and set at defiance every they might work, together and have right guaranteed by that Constitution, common plans and purposes in their by re-enacting the same law, and the war with England. But questions arose a» to certain tones growing out of that war, and oat of the Sant treaty of poaeo With Great Britain, which Any man can see what this proposi­ forced congress to dailarc that there tion would do if carried into effect. mast bo courts established^—which It would make tho United States not1 diould define where the rights of Z- “a government of the people, for the state ended and the rights of the fed people, by the people” out a govern­’ eration of states began.

No matter what any man may■ of state legislatures and the sufferings claim, no matter what object he may which individuals living in tho colonies have in view, there could be but onei had endnrod ■previous to tho federation, effect of this proposition advocated by’ caused the Fathers of our country in Senator LaFoUette, and that is to' the constitutional convention, led by throw the Constitution of the United1 rach men as Alexander Hamilton, States^. into tho discard, and declareJ George Washington, Thomas J.efferson, that hereafter every citizen’s rights Benjamin Franklin and other notable will depend upon the whim of congress, men, to consider the wisdom of hav­ and upon the few strong men who lead' ing individual rights ”to life, lib­ that body, and not upon the Constitu­ erty and the,pursuit of happiness,” as tion whieh declares what are funda­ well as civil* rights and religious lib­ mental American rights airtl providesl erty, guaranteed so that congress, or that the method of defending and safe­ the President, or a state legislature or guarding such rights to be vested final­ governor, eould not take away ot; in­ ly in the supremo court, which LaFollotte would destroy. terfere with those guaranteed rights. To accomplish this much desired end, the wisdom of the Fathers* devised onr federal Constitution, which proclaims, and'is the defense of, the rights of any man who is an Anieriean citizen. To properly protect these sacred rights, they provided in the Constitution for a supreme court' whose members would 4h» chosen by the President, confirmed by the senate, and hold office during their lifettane'-nnless expelled for mis­ behavior. This supreme court was de­ vised for the special purpose of stand­ ing between the people and congress, or between the people and any state legislature, and to prevent the enforce­ ment of any law whieh interfered or restricted or nullified any fundamental right,, guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Potter pointed out how won­ derfully well this experiment in gov­ ernment had succeeded for nearly 150 years; how America had grown from a few colonies to a mighty nation, the greatest on earth; bow its people have always enjoyed privileges, rights and liberties, whieh are guaranteed to them by that Constitution, such as are not enjoyed by any other people on earth; and every American citizen, knows COURTHOUSE NEWS • I PROBATE COURT.

And few of us have a full realization of the advantages of economizing during the earning period of our lives. Economy doesn't mean pinching nor does it mean hardship, it simply, means good judgment and care in expenditure. It means the elimination of the purchase of needless luxuries. It means watching the pennies, if you will. It isn’t hard work and it is the source of a great deal of pleasure. Economy and saving go hand in hand and bring as a reward “Prosper! ty” and “Independence." Will you permit us to assist you in the economical handling of your money and its systematic saving? •f Penraal Service Hastings City Bank HASTINGS Trip to Yellowstone Park Enjoyed by a Former Hastings Girl The following interesting letter was ter, who, in company with her husband and eon Marvyn, is touring Yellowstone Park, California and British Columbia.

While eating we were entertained by solos and a talk by the mayor. Now back on the train “it’s hot as the dickens” as one lady puts it. Just thinkl one city with two climates! At Omaha station were trunks of silver bricks so heavy it was all Marvyn could do to lift one. Enroute today wc passed through Echo canyon; also saw the Devil's Slide, a most peculiar na­ tural formation like an immense grain shute. We must be up early tomor­ row as we arrive at West Ycllowstono at seven. All the help in the Park— maids, waitresses and porters Are col­ lege girls and boys working for their vacation. We rode to this hotel (Old Faithful Inn), a distance of thirty miles, in big yellow autos holding twelve people each. We stopped to see the hot springs. It is wonderful to see the boiling water bubbling up out of the ground and oc­ casionally spurting out with a roar. Borno of the pools are so deep they can't find bottom. They are beautiful greens and blues. Then there is a lake that is green, blue and pink. The sand surrounding it is brick colored. It seems so queer to see a lake with boil­ ing waves gently lapping the shore, with three colors of steam rising from it. Old Faithful Inn is the most artis­ tic building of it's kind I've ever seen—immense, made of logs and ev­ erything is rustic. The stairs are made of whole trees with branches still on, but stripped of bark and polished like furniture in our houses. Just as we arrived at the hotel the large geyser from which it gets its name began to erupt. It is sending up volumes of steam all the time but every rixty-flve minutes it growls and roars and sends a stream of boiling water into the air hundreds of feet high. It is an awe­ inspiring sight. After dark they turned the search fights on it. The others are very erratic sometimes going for days without an eruption; but this one goes like clock .work- That is why they call it “Old Faithful.” It erupts every hour water enough to supply the city of Baltimore for a day, and they compute from the deposits around the crater that it has been doing business for at least fifty tbon«»fld ypars. I>. the evening we went through the auto camps and on to see the bears. There are hundreds of autos in the camp, from every style in the union, from Alaska, and one from Trinidad. SAVE THE CHILD Your fint thought should be MICHIGAN The campers throw garbage in a large pit and the bears come out of the woods and paw it over. We stood just across the road from one big black one with a cub but she paid no attention to us. Later we went down again to the eamp which is run in connection with the hotel. They were giving a home talent concert. We also had a small forest fire which was put out by the forest rangers, who rushed up on flrotor eyelcs laden with spades. We leave this hotel at 2 o'clock so I must got everything- in the grips. We are now at the Lake hotel. John and Marvyn took a hike this morning to handkerchief pool. You throw in your handkerchief as soiled as you please, and it is sucked down out of sight. When it comes Dp it is perfectly clean. Good place to start a laundry. We are now forty miles from our first hotel. Took us three hours to drive over ns wc stopped at different points of interest. At one of the hot pooh I talked with a lady who was mueh affected by the altitude. Had a pain around her heart, and found difficulty in breathing. Some of them have had nose bleed; but I don’t notice it at all, though we are over eight thousand feet up. ■When we first got into Montana and T” to ascend the mountains it re­ quired two engines, and then we had to go very slowly. On the trip over here an old blaek bear with three cubs came into the road. As Marvyn got out to take her picture she came right up and let him pet her. We saw deer on. the other side of the stream. This is an immense hotel—all white and very beautiful inside. It has been added to until it is as long as a city block. To walk from the parlors to our rooms is a regular constitutional. They tell us the architect exceeded his allowance when planning it by one million dollars; so I'm wondering what it cost. It's right on the edge of Yellowstone lake, with mountains just across and you could not imagine a more beautiful view. Some are dressed in satins and (not the mountains but the people) diamonds and many in knickers. Sight seeing is strenuous work. Our baggage is gone, but we have a little time before the cars come. One lady told me she had been enroute for thir­ teen days and had gained thirteen pounds. I can well believe it, having just had breakfast. The weather is delightful. Am wearing a winter serge derful, of course, to nee the geysers and hot springs and a beautiful sight to see the animals running wild in the woods, but one tires of It too. There are all aorts of people at the hotels. After a ride of 25 miles we arrived at POPHAWVS^ PECKHAM’S REMEDY FOR Stood the test tar forty yean Wa®SK “’ Bimsi m'ca.'hwt. twat o.

Noted Impersonator to Appear at Coming Redpath Chautauqua Did You Know The recent case, in which u couple of years elapsed between the commission of a crime and Its discovery, fulls far short of a record. The famous case of Eugene Aram, which later formed the subject of the novel by Lytton and the poem by. Hood, is a leading one, for the murder was committed in 1745, and Aram was executed In 1750. In the same century a man named Horne was executed for the murder of his child 35 years earlier, and there is also the case of Governor Wall, who was hanged In 1802 for n murder committed in 1782. Apart from capital crimes, the law’s delays have always b^en notorious. It was stated recently, for instance, that a lawsuit about some land, which had started In 1770, had just been finally settled, and a litigant Is even now suing the United States government over property alleged to have been alienated during the American Revolu­ tionary war. A well-known barrister used to re­ call a remarkable cast* of this kind. In 1863 he prosecuted, us counsel for the Crown, a man who was charged with stealing u leaf from a parish register in 1803.—London Tit-Bits.

MEMORIES By RUBY DOUGLAS In spite of the fact that Hugh Wharton was what the boys called a regular fellow, he bad" developed an art la which he had become absorbed —namely, the art of designing uud executing the most beautiful of oldfashionrd hooked rugs. An architect by profession, he had felt a creative urge that took him out of the practical field of his work und hud led him first into designs of fantastic colors for mural decorations In some of the more artistic building* which he had designed. Then, remem­ bering that art of his grandmother, he hud decided tu make a frame and a design on cunvas uud try his luck with a rug. ”1 cun do It evenings when I am too tired to read, fellows," he ex­ plained when the boys with whom he lived chided him for bls feminine tusk. “1 guess 1’11 take to tattln’," chaffed Ob “And I to knittin*,** added another. But Hugh was not to be put from his purpose. He soon had the big frame constructed and hud rolled the can­ vas at the end and drawn the design thereon. "Don’t forget the forget-me-nots," sang out the boys as they watched him hook In and out of the pattern. "You’ll be Jolly glad to have It In the room when It is done," be skid, good-naturedly. "Where do you get ail the ragaF asked Bob Taylor. “Oh, here und there—from the girls," admitted Hugh. “Whose red sport coat is tliat Id the center rose?" asked Tom. “Remember Helen Moore?" The three men recalled at once the gay red golf coat of the girl who had married one of their friends and gone away. “When you are old and cranky and sit In reverie with your pipe, you can think of all the girls who con­ tributed a bit ot their finery to your rug, eh, Hugh?” Hugh nodded. He was hooking bits of soft blue woolly material into the design of a cluster of cornflowers. His face had taken on a reminiscent expression. "I wouldn’t cry over it, Hugh, old boy," began Bob. Hugh forced a smile. “What’s the idea? Whose soft blue is that you are moping over?” The artist did not speak for a mo­ ment "Florence Milton’s mother gave me this material. It was In a suit of Florence’s—years ago when I first met her," he said at last "Oh, and that reminds me, I saw her yesterday." Hugh was startled. "Saw Florence Milton? Where F “Here In town, of course. Didn’t think1 I’d been to Europe, did youF "But—I thought she wasn’t coming home for another year," persisted Hugh, resuming his work. Bob Taylor smiled. He recalled the fact that Hugh and Florence had once been’sweethearts—before Florence had gone off to Italy to study sculpture. That night Hugh did not work with any other color but the blue. The next day he called up Mrs. Mil­ ton. Ostensibly, he called her to tell her how well the blue was working Into the rug. Really, he wanted to find out the truth about Florence. "Why don’t you bring it over to show me, Hugh?” asked Mrs. Milton. “I—well. I could, at that," he said, guiltily. ’Til put It In the car and bring It around tonight." "I used to make them myself years ago. My grandmother taught me to hook rugs out of all the old ties and silks and make wonderful things. Td love to see yours." But she did not say a word about Florence. Hugh had a suspicion that Bob had been chaffing him. When the door at the Milton home was thrown open that night the first glimpse of the Inside that caught his eye was Florence, herself, standing there to greet him. “What------” she began. "Oh. It’s a rug I’ve been hooking and your mother wanted to see IL” he explained. \ And then he took both her hands and looked into her eyes to search for something that she had told him was not within her. “Florence—is It there yet? Have you found out that you care? Is— Is that why you came backF Florence nodded, while tears filled her eyes. Together they went Into the great living-room where Mrs. Milton sat by the fire. Hugh allowed her llie rug and she detected the blue of Florence’s sulL “See. dear," ahe said to her daugh­ ter. “I gave, this woolly goods to Hugh for his cornflower blue. Isn’t It pret­ ty r “Pretty isn’t the word," corrected Hugh. "It Is wonderful. And Into the cornflower I have woven all the dreams of the past few years. I may have a memoryF “You have more than a memory— Hugh." said Florence, going over to him and putting her hand Tn his. Mrs. Milton discreetly studied the pattern of, the rug and recalled some memories of her own romance.

The Place to Buy Good Used Cars They Have Been Used There are no new cars on the road. Al! are used cars. Everybody is driving a used car. The only new cars are those in the salesroom. The fact that a car has been used signifies very little as to its condition. a stranger but from those whom one knows can be depended upon to sell only reliable goods. If this were not true, many people would be wearing brass jewelry and paste diamonds. Few people really know what an auto­ mobile is worth unless they are mechan­ ics. .If one doesn’t know the real worth of an automobile then they are obliged to accept the statements of the seller relative to its worth. For this reason, when one is buying an automobile, they should buy from those who really know the values of the cars they sell. All engaged in the automobile busi­ ness are obliged to take in used cars in order to sell new ones—someone has an open car and wants a closed one; anoth­ er wishes to exchange a 4-cylinder for a 6-cylinder, or a roadster for a touring car, etc. We have endeavored to be wise in our selection and careful in our buy­ ing so that we may offer to you the high­ est values at the most reasonable prices. Will-you please look over the list we have to offer, and if you are in the mar­ ket for a good car get in touch with us? An automobile dealer must have the confidence of the people if he wishes to stay in the automobile business.; When one buys jewelry it is not usually from Oldsmobile Roadster. F. B.

BUDGET SYS­ TEM A SUCCESS Washington, July 14.—“The Reput> liean party has kept faith in its prom­ ises for retrenchment in government ex­ penditures,’’ declares Congressman Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, chair­ man of the House Appropriations Com­ mittee, summing up the work of the Republican administration. So far as congress is concerned, the Republican regime began in March, 1919, but not until March, 1921, did the Republicans get control of both branches of the gov­ ernment. Nevertheless, tho Republi­ can congress began wholesale cuts in the demands for appropriations as soon as it came into power. The Democrat^ requests for funds were slaughtered to tho extent of 93^890,000,000 in three sessions to which the Democrats had submitted estimates. In the course of his address quoted above, Mr. Madden said: “From the aseembly of congress in May, 1919, to the present date, every effort has been made to manage the affairs of the nation according to effi­ cient, economical, and sound business principles. The results speak for them­ selves. Appropriations have been ro dueed, expenditures have correspond­ ingly decreased, taxes have been re­ duced, the public, debt and the interest charge have been lowered, the Budget has been balanced each year and has shown a comfortable margin on the sur­ plus side, the number of employees has been cut, and tho country has been given a Budget eyzfcm. “There js ample cause ror approval of these accomplishments. The past few years have been critical in the affairs of the nations of the world. Tho Eresent favorable situation of the nited States Is due in no small meas­ ure to the sound financial policy which has governed the management of its affairs. While other nations are strug­ gling with overwhelming public debts that in some case* ore as great or greater than their national wealth and are crying for relief from the taxon caused by deficits in their budgets, tho people of the United States are enjoy­ ing the economic benefits which arise from sound financing on the part of the Fed era! government. ’ ’ — This record has been accomplished by cutting necessary appropriations to the lowest limit consistent with serv­ ice and by avoiding the creation of new sources of demand upon the public treasury. As Mr. Madden said: “The appropriations made during the session just closed, aside from the adjusted compensation act, do not pro­ vide for any unusual new activities of government. The sums granted have been confined almost wholly to exist­ ing activities and within limits of amounts which do not permit any marked expansion, with the exception at the provision for a largo number of additional vessels and the necessary personnel in the Coast Guard to enable that service to cope with the ’rum­ running’ fleets operating in violation of the prohibition laws. The record of the session follows that of the preced­ ing sessions under the control of the Republican party and shows, as have several of the previous sessions, a mark­ ed decline in the appropriations.’’ COATS GROVE.

In the language of their bitter experience, the result of that policy was that “we paid noth­ ing and we got no where.” Then they decided to build the roada first and make them pay for themselves afterwards. Accordingly the state bon.led itself for 165,000,000 and spent that vast sum of money* in building 6,000 miles of magnificent roada, pro­ perly distributed to make a truly state wide system, and then sought for means to mako them “earn their keep”. A tax of one cent a gallon on gasoline was imposed and a heavy tax on automobile license*. The number of ears in use quickly quadrupled. Nobody minded paying either tax, because the roads were such an enorm­ ous improvement and benefit; and these taxes yield enough to pay tho interest charges on the bonds and to provide a sinking fund to* retire them, beside* maintaining the roada in good repair. “The economic advantage to the state of having highways that permit busi­ ness to bo done and crops to bo hand­ led expeditiously has boon prodigious; in other words, tho r«Kui» hr.vo cost the state nothing as a government, and they are paying tho tax payers an enormous return on the investment of the very slight increased current taxes.” 1% per eent is true, yet it is not likely thnt any other country does so well even ns thia That small percentage in reality represents a vast expenditure NORTHEAST THOBNABPLB.

There were 12 members present at the meeting whose ages averaged 82 yean. There were also present eight elderly women, wives or widows, of the members of the regiment. The sec­ retary read letters received from a dozen other membent- who regrrtted very much their inability to attend on account of physical disabilities. We had a very enjoyable time. A vote was taken to continue to hold these re­ unions as long as there were left three or four members to attend. As near as could be ascertained there are only about twenty-five members of the Old Sth left. When we left the state for the South in 1861, we had 1,000 mem here in the regiment, nnd during the war a large number of recruits were sent to the regiment to take the places of those who were killed in battle or otherwise disabled, and to think of it at this time—only twenty-five left. There was considerable dissatisfaction among the members toward President Coolidge on account of his veto of the Old Soldiers and Widows’ Pension bill, some of them declaring that they hud always voted the republican ticket but eould not vote for Coolidge at the next presidential election as he seems to think more of money than he does of rtriotimn, but so far as I am concerned can got along very well without the extra pension the bill, had it become n law, would have given me.

Ray Serven an<] family went over to Barlow lake, io have n few days’ vaca­ tion. As you probably know, Ray works part of'his time in the Vandervcen store, and while getting groceries together fur the lake some of the oth­ er clerks thought of something to get even with him for some of his pranks on them. So when supper tinit arrived nnd the parcels were undone, lo, nnd behold, instead of groceries there were stones nnd rubbish a plenty. So of course it was up to Ray to go to the neighlmrs to borrow things to ent, and then in the morning he came to town and got whut he was supposed to have taken over in the first place.

Carpen■ter vs. the Township of Bloomingdale, Van Buren county. -The facta appear to be that on a dark, rainy night, Mrs. Carpenter was driving a team of horses hitched to a farm wagon. Her husband was with her in the wagon seat, and they were facing the rain and could not see. In order to get rid of the driving rain, which was coming into their faces, they turned onto a side road, which would get them to their home by a more round-about way but save them from the inconvenience of facing the rain. While crossing a fill between two hills, the wagon slid off of the edge of the travelled roadway, and the team and wagon were precipitated down a steep embankment ten feet high. There was no railing or barrier to save them from the accident, and it was so very dark they eould not see. Proceeding* were instituted in the Van Buren circuit court against the township for damages by Mrs. Carpen­ ter. She won a good-sized verdict in the lower court and the township ap­ pealed to the Supreme Court. Jn the decision just handed down, Court affirmed the verdict lower court. company SOXTHBJUST WOODLAKE. Mr. and Mn.

THE WORLD WAR HAS TO BE FOUGHT AGAIN And the Fight Started Over a Fight Between Two Men'* Doge at Wall Lake A warrant was issued Monday for the arrest of Frank Wicsmusflelder, of Kal­ amazoo, for assaulting and battering S. L. Howes, also of Kalamazoo. The assault took place Sunday at Wall lake. It appear*, that there has been bad blood between the two men going back to the time when America entered the World war, when Wieemusfleldcr was alleged to have been a German sympa­ thizer. You might suspect that from his name. Both of them have cottages not very far apart at Wall lake, and both of them were there with their families on Sunday. Each of them is the owner of a dog, which, of eonrse, is a valuable dog, as all dog* arc; and the two dogs got into a fight. -Wieemusficlder, in order to separate the dogs, took a hand saw and Howe* was Fifty Cent* (17.50) for ench entertainment. very much aroused over thi*,'and made some vehement remarks, which Wies•vary kind by the pupil* of benevi musfielder resented. The German weighs •ti tali on ■ and of th* eity ecboola, about 250 pounds and hi* Yankee op­ concert, aa well a* exhibition* ponent about half that mueh. The big one assaulted the little man and gave him a drubbing. When the latter got •re permitted up from the ground, he picked up a good-sized roek and hurled it at the German, hitting him on the side. This made the big fellow wrathy and he chased and finally captured Howes and unmercifully pounded him. At this stage Howes’ wife appeared on the scene and took a very active part in person or persona Mhibillng tha aama (ball the game, and scratched and elawed the German until he was glad to quit. Of course, he was too gallant to hit the woman. The upshot of it was that Howes came to Hastings Monday and swore out a warrant for Wlesmusfielder’s ar­ rest.

It has been announced that ths Pere A Billion Dollars in the Financial Sewer America’s leading illegitimate industry is expanding rapidly, accord ing to A. Newton Plummer, in The National Financial News. Investigation discloses an alarming increase in the fake stock selling business,’’ Mr. Plummer says, “which now ranks with the leading industries in America, totaling over one Billion dollars.” Legitimate new security offerings sold in 1923 aggregated $3,265,400,000. The billion dollars that went into the sewers of American finance last year totaled nearly a third of the country’s entire investments in established industries. It was practically a third of the money spent on new buildings which totaled $3,046,875,000. Money spent on iron and steel products was only two and a half times what was wasted on wild-cat securities. “Compared with the $2,252,000,000 spent by Americans for motorcars in 1923, which was the banner year in the automobile business, the billion dollars collected by fake stock peddlers would have purchased about 2,000,000 more automobiles than the 4,008, 085 cars sold in 1923. 'The billion dollars thrown away on wasteful promotions equaled the money spent by all American cities of 30,000 population and over on public improvements last year." In other words every school, hospital, road and public improvement of every description by America*s leading municipalities coaid have been duplicated by the wealth diverted into unproductive channels.

Official Estimates Show At­ tendance of Six to Seven Thousand at Conference East Lansing, Aug. 4.—The largest crowd of farm people that ever gath­ ered for a single meeting of it* kind in the history of Michigan agriculture at­ tended the seventh annual summer Farmers’ Day at M. A. C., on Aug. 1. Official attendance figures given out by E. B. Hill, chairman of tho college farm day committee, placed the crowd at 6,000, an admittedly conservative es­ timate. Other estimates made by offi­ cials and visitor* ran up to 8,000 and even 10,000. After inspection of the college farm nnd experimental plots in the morning and a general visit to tho buildings and barns, the crowd gathered under the campus trees for a basket pienic lunch at noon. Neighborhood and county groups from all sections of the state were in evidence during the luncheon hour. Following inspection of the specially prepared agricultural exhibits, the crowd gathered in the outdoor meeting ground at one-thirty for the big after­ noon conference. A special system of amplifiers carried the speakers’ voices to all corners of the assemblage, which was spread out on the slope of the campus near the home economics buildG. I. Christie, of Purdue University; H. T. Horner, of the M. A. C. economics department; and A. M. Brown, of Schoolcraft, former secretary of the college, were tho principal speakers. A special livestock “style review” of col­ lege animals featured the meeting, which was presided over by acting-presi­ dent Robert 8. 8haw, dean of agricul- WEST HOPE.

It had succeeded far beyond the expectations of those who projected it. Rev. Hoag, who was the one who started the proposition, thought that if an attendance of 30 was reached the firat year it would be a* much as eould be expected. Instead an enrollment of over 100 was secured and the daily at­ tendance for tho three hour* Bible study a day exceeded 80. The children seemed to greatly enjoy the school, and, by devoting a larger time each day than would bo given ia Sunday school for a month, gained a better knowledge of the Bible in tho four weeks than would be possible in a year of Sunday school work.. We wish a Bible study class eould bo maintained here through tho year, giv­ ing the same credits as for school work. That is done in many places with fine results. As literature and history the Bible is worthy of this consideration, an<l it would furnish ideals which could not fail of lasting benefit to the young. CENTRAL RUTLAND.

They could now be filling desirable positions if equipped with Michigan Business and Normal College Training We have helped more than 5.0Q0 young people to achieve success apd 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 suc­ cessful and vye give twp important ones below. 0. J. ARGUBRIGHT President of MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE Square Pegs Don’t Fit Round Holes Placing Graduates in Paying Positions Vocational guidance is relatively a new science to many—it has been Mr. Argubright’s hobby for years. The importance of proper vocational guidance has received a wonderful impetus in the last few year*. Its importance hns bepn proven by the work being done along this line by psychologists and the Vocational Bureaus established in our reconstruction hospitals, our colleges, our universities and ouf normal training schools. Through the extended acquaintance of Mr. C. J. Argubright, Presi­ dent of Michigan Bun in cm and Normal College, graduate* from this school have many opportunities to accept the best paying positions. The greatest successes in business arc 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 pk>cc for every young woman; a place where each one of us may obtain the greatest success with the least effort. It is our-business to find the place which every graduate of this school is best fitted to fill, and bear this in mind— Michigan Busi: ess and Normal College is abso­ lutely the only school anywhere in this part of the country giving assistance of this kind to its graduates! Business firms like the Postum Cereal Company; the Kellogg Toast­ ed Corn Flakes Company; the Studebaker Corporation of Detroit; the Old* Motor Company of Lansing; the Hudson Jlotor Company of Detroit; the Republic Motor Truck Company 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 de­ pend entirely on o>jr_recommcndaiiou«. Business men throughout the country are continuously asking for our graduates. Even during these “dull days” wo receive from one to five calls every day for graduates of Michigan Business and Normal College and arc unable to qualify young men and young women fast enough to take care of the demand. These calls come to us not only from Battle Creek, but from Lansing, Jackson, Kalamaroo, Flint, Grand Rapids, Detroit, and other surrounding town* and cities. They come by telegram, by long distance ’phono, by letter, and by personal calls.

The roads are usually lined on cither side by high hedges and in many eases the tree* are so thick they form an overhead canopy. It's like going through a never-ending hallway of green. The roads are just like pavement. Oxford is a great place for tailor shops. I have Deen surprised at the remarkable bargain* they offer. Fourpiece suit* of the beet grade real Harris Scotch tweed at less than half the price* at home. One of ' Wilfred’s friends who went to college advised u* where to go and wo are both having suits made. Oxford is a fine old town filled with venerable old English buildings of* a lovely architectural type. The house where we are rooming, 5 Bath Tlaee, was built between six and seven hun­ dred year* ago. It is a crazy old place full of short winding hallway* and very stoep stairs. Rooms arc stuck on all kinds of funny places. Sometimes'yon have to go down two or three steps to reach a room and at other times up two or three. The house itself i* at the end of a little alley that wind* aimlessly about and stops suddenly'in front of 5 Bath. Right near us i* the old Oxford city wall aboat a thousand years old. Oxford has been a eollege town or a seat of learning since 700 A. D. Ono of the most interestinr things about it is the association witn the many great men who studied here: Sir Walter Raleigh, Philip Sidney, tho Duke of Wellington, John Wesley, Rus­ kin, Cardinal Woolsey, Gladstone and many others. Oxford contain* twentyfour separate colleges. Christ church, Magdalen, St. Edmonds, Balliol,Queen»Oriel, Now College, are a few of the familiar names. Each college has it* own chapel, dining hall, class room* and dormitories, its own athletic field. There is one largo university field where inter collegiate contests are held, and rivalry i« very strong. Some of tho garden* in connection with the different colleges are particu­ larly beautiful, containing great lawns, fine old elms, and a great' variety of flower beds. The gray, old buildings offset these colorful flower beds, mag­ nificent old trees and lovely lawn* in a fine way. Expect to ramble about Oxford for a few doys mors—there are interest­ ing side trip* in every direction. Then we head for London. From there go to France, passing through Holland and Belgium on tho way. It will only take about two or three days extra time. Will stay in France and Switzerland for about a month and then return to England and take in Scotland, Wales home. t Have a wild scheme on fooL- I want to carry it out if I flnfl it feasible when I get to Paris—that is, go down to Marseilles and tako the boat acroaa to Algiers, Africa, and from there take tho train ont to ooo of tho large oases in the Sahara desert. I have heard the trip can be done in about three days from Marseilles. Am feeling fine and enjoying every minute. Tho following added information con­ cerning Oxford has been received by Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Chidester from Mr. Emmons, who is accompanying Mr. Cook on hi* trip: 5 Bath Place, Holywell, Oxford, July 8. Thi* morning I found a little book pf drawings of Oxford which will tell J'ou all and much more about the lovey things Diek and I are seeing here than I can describe in writing. I am having it mailed to you. Of course, the drawings ean't show you the sun­ shine, and blue sky and fleecy clouds, and they cannot bring to you the scent of many roses, that is always in the air, and they lack in most cases the local eolor given by delivery carts and milk men in smock*; tho inevitable eat dodging down a narrow lane and the student with his mortar-board cap and short black gown floating in tho breeze. This Is a delightful place and I am only sorry I cannot devote the summer to Oxford. English people have tho reputation of being unnecessarily re­ served, but I find them very pleasant and friendly to tho stranger, just as I found people in our own Ann Arbor town. It isn’t at all unusual when they see that we are at a loss to find what we want in a strange town for them to go out of their way to help us along. I wish you might havo been along with mo this morning on a ramble through quaint Ifflcy village. You would have loved the picturesque winding lanes, with their stone walls and hedges, pret­ ty cottages, some of them with thatched roofs, and most winning of all, the lit­ tle very old Norman parish church of the St. Mnry the Virgin, set in tho center of a burying ground surrounded by mouldy stone* and ancient yew tree*. I’ll send you a snapshot if the picture turns out well. Just now Dick ia out exploring tho country on a bieycle. Ho is enjoying it immensely and getting some very happy impressions of old England.

If the State Highway Department will favor this construction, ns they probably will, then that very much needed road will be finished during 1925. That will leave to be completed only parts of the Colgrove Highway through Barry county in order to finish up the state's trunk line system so far as it affects thia county. Bo far as is known, there will not be much Covert road building in Barry countv in 1925, if any, except for the stretch mentioned from Banfield north to Hinchman corners. Work on M-43, the Colgrove High­ way, will be completed to Delton this year. Probably next year the plan will be to complete it from Delton to tho Kalamazoo county line. From this city it now follows the regular highway via Barber’s Corners and Carlton Center to Woodland Center. This route ought to be changed at Bar­ ber’s Corners, so it would go eastward on the town line to Coats Grove, then cast three miles farther and then straight north into Woodland Center. That would give a large and fine fann­ ing district a much needed improved highway. It has none whatever now, and surely deserves one. ORANGEVILLE. Mrs. Chas.

If only a few days ago you had. bought Certain Ger­ man bond# you could have cleaned up almost 47,000 per cent on your invest­ ment. In other words by inventing $3 in German bonds you could have sold a few days later for over $1,400—not bad at all considering the short time. It was one of those very “long shots" that sometimes win out. The finances of the German govern went had reached such a low stage that a million dollars of its bonds com­ manded only $3 in good old V. 8. A. money and slow sale nt that.

Report Ho tives Plainwell, Kalamazoo, Bedford and Traces of Pofron Were Found While the funeral of H. C. Palmntier was being held Thursday afternoon Inst, notice was .received from the Sflhe Health Department at Lanning that the body should not be buried, so It was taken to the receiving vault at Riverside, where it remained until orders were received from Lansing* Sun­ day directing that it might bo interred. It appears that Mr. Pnlmatier’s chil­ dren by a former marriage had claimed to be suspicions that his death might be due to other than natural causes. Dr. Mohler, the attending physician, said there were no grounds whatever for suspicion, as Mr. Pnlmatier had had a high blood pressure for a long time and had suffered two previous strokes. He also stated that Mr. Palmatier’s death was due to n stroke, and that ho was taken in jft«t the way in which it was reasonable to expect he would be. However, in a case like this, where an investigation is asked the State Department has full authority to make the investigation. They sent their rep­ resentative here on Friday, who took the stomach, kidneys and part of the intestines to Lansing for chemical anal­ ysis to see if there were evidences of poison. They indicated to Dr. Holly, city physician, on Sunday that they had found no such evidence, and so di­ rected interment of the body, which was taken to Rutland cemetery that day for burial. The situation is an exceedingly un­ fortunate one, nnd everyone will be glad to know that there were no evi­ dences of poisoning found. BIDDER REUNION.

HOW FINE MONEY WILL BE HAVE IT UNANIMOUS IN BARRY FOR KETCHAM APPORTIONED THIS YEAR Every Voter Should Attend Pri­ Bued on School Oenxus of This mary and Boost for Our City and of the Town­ Barry Oounty Man ships Barry county should be interested in tho candidacy of Congressman John C.

Barry county knows that Congress nun Ketcham has made as fine a record for the four years in which he has been representing thia district, as any new congressman sent from the district, ami will be interested, therefore, io having him returned, just aa his predecessors have been, and in harmony with the traditions of the district.

UMMER COLDS VISJSS “no faet that agricultural imple­ ments were free-listed by the Republican tariff law for the benefit of the farmer, has been so highly emphasized that wo are apt to overlook the further fact that a great many other articles used by the farmer are also on the free list,’’ declares the Republican Publicity Asso­ ciation. “To suggest that everything the fanner buys be placed on the free list, as wag done by a number of Con­ gressmen during the last session of Con­ gress, would be to advocate almost en­ tire free trade, because the farmer of today satisfies wants by purchasing al­ most everything bought by any other claw of consumer*. There are certain articles, however, in addition to those peculiarly designed for farm consump­ tion, which the farmer pretty generally uses, and thb following list, though not ! an exhaustive one, considerably ampli­ fies certain free-listed items which have been stressed: “Beginning with agricultural imple­ ments, before-mentioned, we have on the free list plows, tooth or disk har­ rows, headers, harvesters, reapers, mow­ ers, drills and planters, horse-rakes, cultivators, threshing machines, cotton gins and sugar machinery, wagons and earts, cream separators up to $50 in value, and all other agricultural imple­ ments of any kind or description, not specially provided for, whether in whole or in parts, including repair parts.’’ The “not specially provided for list*’ is meager. If the farmer desires to add to his buildings, silos, walks, etc., he will find that bnek, cement, logs, timber and lumber are on the free list, unless some other country should take a notion to place a duty on such materials when coming from the United States, in which case a corresponding duty is plac­ ed on identical goods coming here from that particular country only. That does not seem to be unfair. To worm hia house the former will find eoal and fuel on the free list, un­ der the same conditions ns brick and cement, Ote., while petroleum is freelisted unconditionally—the elixir of his Tin Lizzie. To warm his inner man ho will find coffee, ten, and cocoa on the free list. To warm his soul Bibles arc free-listed. And if, after all this, ho ■suffers from eold feet, boots and shoes n re to be purchased in a free market. With respect to the farmer’s live­ stock, there will be found on the free list animals for breeding purposes, an­ titoxins, and vaccines, sheep dip, sul­ phur, tar and turpentine. On his horses he may place free harness, saddles and saddlery, and horse pads. His cattlo may be fenced in with free-listed barb­ ed wire, and if he should be a bit ex­ clusive, or want to set off his house and Kunds, posts, pickets and palings ■e been gathered into the free list. To eradicate insect pests sulphide of arwtrie, and white araeaio, used in mak­ ing sprays, are fr»e listed. He may sheaf his grain with free binding twine, protect his hands with free leather eovos, and sharpen his tools on free •net and whetstones. And that his crops may flourish and he may grow two blades where formerly but one could bo produced, bones, bone dust, fish, guano, basic slag, kelp, kieserite, phosphates, apatite, gypsum, muriate of potash, potassium sulphate, kainite, wood and beet-root ashes, nitrates, tobacco stems, nod manures, all used for fertil­ izers, arc on the free list. There arc many articles of general American use not on the free list, the duties of which have been reduced— A Declaration of Dependence We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all created men owe their highest obligation to their Creator. That this ob­ ligation exists upon men in their institutional life as well as in their individual life. That all organizations of human creatures, and all the institutions of society— including civil government, are under the direct authority of the Creator. That this authority has been bestowed upon a Mediatorial Ruler, Jesus Christ; and that He is Civil Governor among the Nations as well as the Saviour of individ­ ual men. That to Him we owe our first allegiance as men, and as nations of men. And that upon Him, our own nation and all the nations of the earth are dependent for their opportunity to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. automobiles for example. All of the farmers’ products have been given the highest protection ever accorded them in any tariff law. Thus aeeoutered, the farmer may call for his fiddle, treat the bow to a little free rosin, smile com­ placently at rising grain prices and strike up “Turkcy-in-the-Strnw.’’ For 1924 is a Republican year. CHRISTMAS SEAL CHECK COMES 6 MONTHS EARLY One Patron of the Christmas Seal Oives Evidence of Appreciation If you were planning a six months trip to Europe would you stop in the midst of your packing, sit down and write a check for your 1924 Christmas Bealsf It is unlikely but that is just what a regular customer in Ann Arbor did recently. The Washtenaw County Branch of the Michigan Tuberculosis Association received a letter with enclosed cheek. The letter explained that the writer was leaving for an extended European trip and would probably not return until after the 1924 tale of Christmas Seals became a matter of history. This patron of the Christmas Seal did ■ not wish to be left out of the great number of Michigan folks who yearly help fight tuberculosis with their dollars, so the cheek, though it was six months early, was to pay for tho usual number of Seals. It is such lojedty, sonso of personal responsibility and interest that makes tho fight against tuberculosis possible.

Everyone connected with the building industry—architects, coni Fac­ tors, building material dealers and members of the building trades, as well as prospective building owners will find this book of extraordinary inter­ est. The history of the building industry was compiled by the editorial staff of the American Builder Magazine, Chi­ cago, and was included in the June issue of the present year. The maga­ zine contained more than 600 pages, bound in a beautiful four-color and gold lithographed cover, symbolic of the industry. This complete maga­ zine, including the eover, was bound in an embossed full moroeeo leather cover and presented to the library by Will­ iam A. Radford, editor-in-chief of the American Builder and the editor of Radford's Cyclopedia of Construction. Thus the book comes from an authoritative source. Because of tho unusual subject of the book it will be kept avaiablo for inspection during the next few weeks no that all those interested may have an opportunity to inspect it and fam* linriro themselves with the wide scope of the contents, with a view to using it in the future as an authoritative reference volume on the building in­ dustry.

Be independent bp training yourselffor a position of responsibility and profit at Michigan Business and Nor­ mal College. One of the big insurance actuaries gives this interesting information: "Out of one hundred average healthy men at twenty-five, thirtysix of them will be dead before they reach sixty-five; five will be wealthy, five will still be supporting themselves by work, and fifty-four, or eighty-four per cent of those still alive, will be de­ pendent upon friends, relatives or charity.’.' Where will you stand financially at that age? Will you be among the five wealthy men or the five sup­ porting themselves by work; or will you be one of the fifty-four dependent upon friends or charity? Sixty-five may seem a long way off but now is the time to think about it—now is the time to lay your plans for the future. And the only way you can beat these statistics is to make yourself personally efficient. It is the only way you can fortify yourself against failure in your declining years. It is the only way you can become one of the five successful men instead of one of the fifty-four failures. The great crime of today is personal inefficiency, and ninety-five men out of every hundred are paying the price. The last hundred years have seen the most tremendous developments along mechanical lines in the history of mankind—the last ten years have seen the beginning of an equally great upheaval in the efficiency of taan himself. And a few years hence, the ordinary man of today will be as much out of date without Personal Efficiency as Fulton’s steam boat.

Is this true? " a cor­ respondent asks the Oil and Gas Journal. Reply is made in issue of June 19, as follows: “It certainly is not In the first place when you mention the Standard Oil Company you are speaking of several companies which, since the of 1911, are as separate in their ownership and control as any of the several thousand oil com­ panies which operate in the United States. “No company bearing the name of ‘Standard­ including its subsidiary organizations has more than 11 refineries in the United States. There are several of the so-called ‘independent’ com­ panies which have from 5 to 9 refineries. Accord­ ing to the Oil and Gas Journal's compilation of May 1, there are 574 refineries in the United States of which 382 were operating on that date Of this number only 39 belong to the several Standard Oil Companies and their subsidiary organizations. Thus you see that approximately only 1 out of 15 refineries belong to the Standard Companies.” The Standard Oil Companies loom much larger in the public mind than is warranted by the percentage of their refineries as compared with all other oil companies. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has but six refineries — Whiting, Indiana; Sugar Creek, Missouri; Wood River, Illinois; Casper, Wyoming; Greybull, Wyoming: and Laramie, Wyoming. The oil industry of today is of such vast propor­ tions as almost to defy figures. Perhaps that is why it appeals so strongly to the imagination. 1 As the oil industry is organized today, a monop­ oly in oil, whether crude or refined, is beyond possibility. The industry ia too enormous for dictation by any one company or any group of companies. It is too big and too varied for ‘‘understandings". It is too big for anything but the keenest sort of competition, and for the win­ ning and holding of business through service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is strictly a competitive organization of service. That it is able to compete profitably with other oil com­ panies is due solely to its Initiative in invention of new methods and processes, and to its superior organization for the refining and distribution of oilproducts. In both of these capacities it is ren­ dering an essential service to the thirty million people of the Middle West in such a way as to Standard Oil Company *___ (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Bnildinf 910 So.

R. McPeek on Tuesday filed an opinion in the Nina vs. Jame* Sharp divorce matter that has been before the court for some time. The judge n*e> thd opinion to tell the pub­ lic some of the problems that face a court in matters of this character. As the opinion says, divorce matters are decided on the testimony submitted in open eonrt which means that non­ contested matters, with only one side presented, make these domestic mis­ understandings very difficult to de­ cide. The following opening para­ graphs from the Sharp opinion are given for the public information con­ tained: After considerable delay in the dis­ position of this case, I have conclud­ ed that no other course is open to the Court than to grant a decree to the plaintiff, under the proof* ns recorded. I am satisfied (hat, as the record stands, causes for divorce have been shown to exist. This cose presents n situation not unusual in divorce matters, and yet one which in my judgment is well worthy of some comment. The point of interest revolves around the fact that there has been no opposition to the petition of the plaintiff, that is, no contest of the case or of the alle­ gation* in the bill. Under these cir­ cumstances the Court is deprived of all benefit and enlightenment that nec­ essarily result from cross-examination and opposing testimony, and for his decision is left wholly dependent upon the proof* of the petitioner, supple­ mented by such independent examina­ tion of the witnesses ax he may make. The force and effect of such a situa­ tion nre plainly evident. If the case is entirely meritorious, and the proofs presented arc of like character, the ac­ tion of the Court will be eaaily de­ termined and presumably will meet the common judgment nf those acquainted with the circumstances. On the other hand, if there are existing facts which through active contest and opposition would have been brought out, and thereby an entirely different face been Siven tp the whole case, it will readily e seen that the Court, in the lack of this assistance to bis inquiry, will be seriously handicapped in arriving at a just conclusion. Putting it in another way,—the Court must always base his decree on the alle­ gations ancT proofs presented in open court. He may have some reason to suspect that there are matters relevant to the issue that are not developed. J>uc to information derived outside the court room he might oven question the integrity of the petitioner’s proofs, but notwithstanding all these things he can not disregard the facts of the case as they nre actually presented to him on the hearing, and must render his deci­ sion in harmony with that principle. Manifestly, such a course will not al­ ways leave the Court in full assurance os to his deepion, and in the event that fact* have Men suppressed it will not uncommonly inspire adverse comment by those possessing those facts, but without appSciatioh of the limitations on the Court. From the foregoing it will be appar­ ent that there is considerable mental reservation in my action in this case. Inasmuch as I feel that the proofs, ax they stand, unassailed from a legal standpoint, furnish grounds for divorce, I doubtlexx should go no further but I feel fully justified in the statements made. They can as well be rend into certain other cases wherein the Court has felt that an active inquiry and op­ position might have been desirably helpful.—Cfiilotte Republican. CLOVERDALE.

Would You Prefer a Free 5 or 7 Day Chautauqua to a Picnic? The Merchants, Manufacturers and Profession­ al Men of Hastings Wish to Know Which the Form of Free Entertainment For the past three years, in order to boeome better acquainted, and to show their appreciation to the people of Barry county for the busineM dealings they may have had, the merchants, manufacturers and professional men of Hastings have given a big free picnic. The one thia year was on July 3lst. Each year some excellent musical attraction has been given, all sorts of sports arranged, dancing, racing and many other features. It baa coat many hundreds of dollara ench year to put thia program across, ami in no sense han it been-.put on with any thought or idea of making money, ns business places were closed at-10 o'clock on the dny of the picnic nnd re­ mained closed the balance of the day. But the merchants, manufacturers and professional men of Hastings want to do just what the people would like to have them do, and provide just the kind of entertainment they would like the best. Having this thought in mind, it has been suggested that hereafter, instead of a ONE DAY Picnic, the mer­ chants, manufacturers and professional men should put on a 5-DAY or a 7-DAY FREE CHAUTAUQUA, which would include the best music, tho best lec­ turers, and the best entertainments thnt the country affords. This would doubtless include, ns the present Chautauqua docs, a morning session more especially for the children and little ones; a good lecture or musical entertainment, or both in the afternoon, commencing about three o’clock, and a lecture, musical enter­ tainment, or a play in the evening. This would afford a wonderful variety of entertainment, nnd would give Koplc an opportunity of listening to the world’s greatest lecturers, the very st musical talent, the best plays, concerts and entertainments. In short it would be educational ns well ns entertaining, all of which would be provided FREE.

This plant holds up to the sunlight vase-like leaves, around the mouths of which are glands that secrete honey. Tempted by the scent, the insects make their way across the leaves to the mouth of the plsnt; far­ ther and farther they wander down the tube, looking for the honey.

When You Can Catch a Fish 53 Inches Long With Nothing But Your Hands One day test week a resorter at Gun lake observed a big muacalongs flop­ ping around in the weeds in shallow water near his cottage on tho north shore of the lake. He expected that tho big fellow would strike out for deep water any minute, but it did not, floundering around in tho shallow wa­ ter. Getting into his boat ho rowed around back of tho fish, jumped into the' water and placing his Hands in the gifts of the big fish pulled it to shore. The muscalongo was nearly 53 inches long, and had a head on him large enough for a- fish that would weigh 50 pounds or more.

His observation waa that in the presence of the Infinite variety of shiny knives which the hardware man had In his showcase any knife that the boy select­ ed from the rest looked like a clumsy, Inferior affair, hut that as soon ns the boy had made his choice and got away from the influence of all of the other knives his particular knife became a precious and radiant thing of beauty. It was generations ngo that the great humorist discussed this topic, but the cutlers have taken the lesson to heart at last and decided that they have been making too many kinds of pocketknives. Their Interest In the matter 18 economic; their alm Is more profits and they hope to achieve that end by ceasing to turn out many ec­ centric varieties of knives that are slow sale and not much good anyway.

He begins by observing: The power of the camel to do with­ out taking food Is regarded In most works on zoology us representing sci­ entific peculiarities of animals. But If there were a general knowledge of the ability of many animals to fast for very long periods of time these in­ stances would not be so overem­ phasized. It Is, Indeed, generally fcnown that even mammals are able to fast for mouths during their winter hi­ bernation, but it sremi to be almost unknown that the rame power exists among the lower animals. The power of fasting Is-much more widespread In them than was formerly supj^oecd ” Mr. Urabln then refers to an experi­ ence of his youth when be put certain snails which had already withdrawn into their shells and closed the opening thereof, as te their custom. Into a box, whereupon he forgot them for a period of more than a year and n half. He supposed they were inevitably dead, but when he put them into a vessel filled with water, much to his surprise, they came out of their shells and crawled gaily about on the table.

Center St. And Played on the Local Golf Course Wednesday Morning Before a Good Sized Crowd About a dozen members of the Western Michigan Professional Golfers of different Golf Clubs in the western part of the state, met here Wednesday morning upon invitation of Fred Leitz, professions! nt the Hastings Country Club, and enjoyed a game of golf on the local links. Among the visitors were several who have won almost nation-wide distinc­ tion in this popular sport, including Al Watrous of the Highlands duh. at Grand Rapids and Wm. Trovinger of the Cadillac club, both of whom won the Canadian Open championship, Frank Williams of the Kent Country Club at Grand Rapids, and Maurice Wells of the Cascade Country Club, Grand Rapids, who has won the state championship. Among the other visit­ ing professionals were Art Kennett of the Battle Creek Country Club, Bob Dustin of the Niles Country Club, John Dustin of the Kalamazoo Country Club, John Bird of the Berrien County Coun­ try Club at Bt. Joseph, Louis Skrbec of the Meeosta Counfy Country Club at Big Rapids, who with Fred Leitz of the Hastings Country Club completed the list. The professionals’ contest was sche­ duled to start at 9:30 but the visitors were a little late in arriving. How­ ever a crowd of around 150 people was on hand to witness the start of the first “foursome” composed of Al Wat­ rous of Grand Rapids, and Fred Leitz of the local club, paired against Maurice Wells, of Grand Rapids and Art Kennett of Battle Creek. Most of the audience watehed this entire con­ test through the 18 holes and felt raofe than repaid by the splendid drives and skillful approach shots and putting. It was a real contest and n very pretty one to witness, as were all of the others. At noon, luncheon was served the visitors and the wives of several of the Srofeuionate who accompanied them. Ira. Ida Wood catered, which is all that is necessary to state, to know that it was thoroughly enjoyed and appre­ ciated. The professionals were all loud in their praises of the Hastings Country Club and its sporty course. They were also eaptivated by the beautiful Club house and the marvelous view it com­ mands, and were greatly surprised as well as pleased to find such a complete course in a city of this size. All ex­ pressed a desire to return at some future time and play the^course. The par of the course is 35. The nearest approach to that figure was made by Williams, of Grand Rapids, who shot a 37—the same, score that has been made by Fred Loitz the local professional^ and the. pearest approach to a par that has ever been made. In the afternoon the professionals drove to Ionia and played the course at the Ionia Country Club. Morning service, 10:30 A. M. Topic: “Let the Dead Bury the Dead.” NORTH NASHVILLE.

I’ll make arrangements with Briggs—that’s the chauffeur—to pay for the dinners.

After she had gone out, Mr. Fosdlck rang for the office boy. “Jimmie," he asked, “have you any small sisters who play with dolls?" “Sure—two," Jimmie replied. “There would be an ice cream soda and a dollar In It for you." "We-ell," Jimmie beamed, bls mas­ culine distaste for doll-purchasing meUing away. ”1 guess I could find one for you. Mister Fosdlck." That night Mary Louise and Bess played with the "cherub of a doll" until long past a two-yeur-old's proper bedtime. And next day there was room fur the doll, too, on Die front seat of the big car that came to the door promptly at 9 o’clock. Mr. Fosdlck went camping for a week, but after four days he came back, much to EMU’s disgust. "How are the parties going?" he asked Briggs that night. "Fine, sir; just flne. The young lady seems to cheer the poor lads up quite as much as the ride does, sir. We've had a different crowd each day, except one boy she’s asked to go twice.

You cannot help but fall in love with them. Straight of line and of such luxurious mate­ rials. Different from last year in that the materials are suede like, of short nap, which tailors so beautifully into the new straight silhouette. Fur is abundantly used on the collars and cuffs which ’ gives a dashing appearance to an otherwise plain coat. Braid is also used as trim, sometimes alone and then again in conjunction with fur. Black remains very popular. Colors, too, are very good. Browns, greens, both light and dark, are the new shades for fall. The country's best designers have created these models. The names, Sterling, Sunshine, Peggy Paris and Wooltej^ stand for the highest in garment making. While our stocks are so very complete make your selec­ tion of a coat—a small deposit will hold it for you until you need it. ‘ The Fall Dresses ARE HERE TOO I The tube silhouette is favofed—just as straight of line or straighter than during the past season, and fitting a lit­ tle tighter at the hips. The dresses will be worn shorter this year, from 10 to 14 inches from the floor, quite a decid­ ed change from a year ago. It is almost impossible to adequately de­ scribe the style, the workmanship and the rich­ ness of the fabrics. Only by seeing them your­ self and having a try-on can you appreciate these frocks.

The Better Store for Men APPEAL MEETS WITH VERY ENJOYABLE EXCELLENT RESPONSE TIME AT GREENVILLE Hastings Golfers, Wives and Bequest for Further Gifts of Victrola Records Is Ladies Royally Entertained Made at Greenville Thursday Members of the Hastings Country Club, accompanied by their wives and lady friends to the number of nearly 70, journeyed to Greenville Thursday forenoon and played a return game of golf with tho members of the Coun­ try Club of that dty in the afternoon. Greenville, like Hastings, is a typi­ cal small American city that abounds with open-hearted hospitality. The cordial welcome extended Hastings will always be cherished as a pleasant memory and it is hoped, that these friendly visits tnay be continued indefinitely. The people of tho two cities have never come into close contact, because each one lies out of the beaten Sth for the other, but with the bcauul road that now connects them there is no exeuss for isolation. The Greenville County Club House with wide veranda on two or three sides, is located on a high bluff over­ looking Baldwin lake, which is nearly surrounded with forest. That is all that is necessary to say for anyone to know that it is exceptionally beautiful, and the site ideal. In the Club grounds is the making of an exceptional course. Nature has done wonders in preparing this course, and it only remains to sup­ ply the missing little details to make a very attractive ground for golf which is rapidly coming to the front ax the great national sport. In the contest here a few weeks ago Hastings won. But at the end of the 18 holes at Greenville the score was a tie. However the game was a mere incident, and was submerged in the deightful entertainment at the Club house. After the conclusion of the game a delicious dinner was served in the Club House, which had been very tastily decorated for the webion. Not only-did Greenville show that its people were very hospitable, but also very conclusively demountrated that the ladies are excellent cooks, and the way that large platters of meats,, salads and vegetables disappeaared furnished eoaeluire proof of that fact. It surely was a npst delightful day, and Hastings golfers arp already look­ ing forward to entertalhing "a large number from Greenville next year. Muis Olga Bcssmcr reports a 'fine response to the request for Victrola records for the County Home, and the following have contributed so far: Mrs. John Harding, Miss Helen Knapp, Mr. and Mrs. WilrBcnnett ofid Mias Evelyn Tyden. Still more of these records could be used and Miss Bcssmer will be glad to receive further gifts. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Stanton, who keep the home, state that two or three ad­ , justable wheel chairs arc greatly need­ ed , there, as some of the patients can­ : not walk well and' a wheel chair would ’ be a great help and convenience. When the Hunt Stock Co. was here a while ago they gave a special per-, formance for the benefit of the folks at the home, and 150 was raised, with which money Miss Besemcr hopes to ] purchase'one ehair, but another one is needed.

PRIMARY REFORM NEEDS REFORMING Continued from page one. In other states where they have a primary system, they have cured some of the defects of it by having a second primary, unless some one candidate shall secure a majority of the votes cast, or in other states at least 40 to 43 per cent of the total vote cast. In case no candidate shall receive a ma­ jority or 40 to 45 per eent of the vote, a second primary is ordered, and the candidates narrowed to the two high­ est; so that through that method there is a chance to have majority role. We think the primary is a cumber­ some, expensive, illogical, un-American way to arrive at nominations; but if there is any excuse for keeping it, then it ought to be obligatory, to have a second primary whenever nt the first no one candidate receives a majority of votes cast. If we are going to have majority rule in this county, let us have it and be done with this nonsense of letting a small percentage of the voters, really a very small fraction in some cases, decide who shall or who shall not be candidate for public office. In other words-we now have “Prim­ ary Reform.” Let us have a “Reform of the Primary”. Primrose Day Memorial to English Statesman (Continued from page one.) <• Sy McCiarw Syaaissis.) .

Tears blurred the faded eyes as she read the letter.

When Richard Blank had brought home to the big house his bride. Grandma Blank was pleased. Sylvia was very charming and won everyone. Life seemed sunny and rosy. What more could be desired? Then come the crash. Grandma never really knew what happened—a woman. It was rumored. Richard stayed at the office in the mill more, and Sylvia busied herself with social duties. A divorce was hinted at. but Sylvia sud­ denly left for Europe, and the excite­ ment abated. "What might have been,” grandma thoughL She was awakened from her reverie by a call from the kitchen, and left the room hurriedly, dropping the photograph and letter. Late that night an automobile honked, stopped and whirred away again. From It had alighted a woman, whose dress betokened that of a trav­ eler. Running lightly up the steps she opened the door with a latch key, en­ tering noiselessly. Something crumpled under her foot and she stopped to pick It up. A photograph and a letter—someone had been careless. “My baby,” she murmured, as she read the letter. Hugging the picture to her breast she threw herself Into the nearest chair and sobbed. "To think you hare suffered so. You shall have your party, darling, and mother will be there, never to leave you again. Oh, God.

The story is that when he was a young man be made a bet of a pair of gloves with a lady respecting a wreath of yellow blossoms, the pqjnt in dispute being whether they were real or artificial. Disraeli stated that they were real and won the bet. The lady thereupon presented him with one of the primroses and Disraeli, with the impetuous gallantry of youth, vowed that he would treasure the-flower and adopt It os his badge. “Primrose day" was founded tn 1882. Next year It was determined tbdftfh annual festlvalshould be InaugWnted. Curiously enough, the primrose has for'centuriea been esteemed an unlucky flower among the English country folk. Shakespeare alludes to the supersti­ tion; and to this day in East Anglia, as well as throughout the western “Hamba gachle** (Go in peace) and counties, it Is esteemed disastrous to take a single primrose Into a farm­ gachle” (Rest in peace) it is bard to house.

A DOLLAR ■ . —........ — A YEAR It’s pretty hard to believe, isn’t it, that a dollar deposited each year at compound interest for a period of fifty years amounts to $307.75? That’s just an example of how money grows, and if a dollar a year for fifty years amounts to that sum, how large the sum would be if instead of depositing a dollar a year, a dollar a week were deposited.

Else­ where we summarize the points brought oat, but this one, we- believe, will appeal to the American poo plo; namely, that we want a government which will economize on public expenditures, so that the people may be relieved of thu harden of taxation, and we want a gov­ ernment of eommon sense, which will or eommnnistic, or LaEbllettistic rain President Coolidge is not letting the people forget who it is who bears the burden of the government taxes in the last analysis. It by no means falls to the man with a big income who pays the tax on his income. It is passed on aad ultimately finds its expression in higher prices for products and sen-ices, until in the last analysis Mr. Common People foots the bill very largely. That accounts for the Coolidge insist­ ence upon cutting expenses and reductaxation. In this we believe the people ar« with him, and will favor his program. A noteworthy feature of the Presi­ dent’s acceptance speech was the abeence of all mud-throwihg. Not only did he not refer to his opponents, but he avoided naming either of the oppos­ ing parties, headed by Davis an-1 Ln rtjlette. Mis address was a straight­ forward declaration of the principles for which he stands. This is a strik­ ing contrast to the acceptance speech of Mr. Davis who belittled Coolidge and berated the opposing party. It is a contrast too to the LaFollotto way of conducting a campaign. But we be licit the people like the Coolidge way.

Mr. McAdoo acknowledges receiving 825,000 from Dohcny as a retainer. So far n« we have known, he has never denied that he ehnrged and accepted 8200,000 for senices in getting income tax reductions for a nationally known steel company, when, in order to do this, he had to appear and urge this favor for the steel company from men who formerly had worked under him in the Treasury department. Now, under conditions like these, whnt is the sense of attempting to make political capital of honesty when such rank dishonesty, as it seems to us, is shown on both sides! And how can Candidate Davis attack the shortcom­ ings and dishonesty of a former re­ publican official without at the same time condemning Mr. McAdoo, a for­ mer democratic cabinet member, for whnt he did! And MeAdoo got a great deni more money out of it than Mr. Fall. It seems to ns that the political lesson to be gained from the oil scan­ dal is to make members of all parties strive to see that-only men of incor­ ruptible honesty be placed in positions of trust and responsibility in the gov­ ernment. We nre rare that if Mr. Davia is going to ring the changes on honesty, he is not going to advance his own esndidaev so much as he will that of his republican opponent for this rea­ son: All who know Mr. Davis believe thnt he is personally honest; but it remains for Him tb proV* how capable an administrator he might be in act­ ually carrving out honesty and integ­ rity in doing the business of the gov­ ernment. Mr. Davis should realise that there sow sits in the presidential ehair a man who has proven his per­ sonal honesty and integrity of char­ acter, and they have found that when­ ever he has discovered dishonesty in office, he has promptly-rooted it out, nnd has been able to put his hand upon the men nnd the menns to correct the wrong. People have confidence in Calvin Coolidge, because they believe that he is as sound, as firm and as true ns the granite of his native Ver­ mont; nnd he is so straight that he nlrnost bends over backwards. These are his personal characteristics, and they are the characteristics that he has shown ns the executive of this eouatry. And that is the tvpe of man the people want in the presidential chair. It seems to us that the more Mr. Davis attempts to make a polities! issue of honesty in government, the more he will convince the people that they already have in the presidential office just the man who will insist on, and carry out to the last degree, every requirement that honesty can demand in government.

ARGUBEIGHT President of MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE These employers do NOT want mere stenographers and bookkeep­ ers. They want FUTURE EXECUTIVES—young people who already know the fundamentals of business, who have been trained to render real service and who have the ambition to grow. We have been able to fill only about one-fifth of the calls of this sort that have come to us. It isn’t necessary for you to wait a lifetime to attain the success, the salary and the inde­ pendence you crave if you will begin right now to plan your future- And Carry Your Plans Into Action Thousands of young men and young women are to­ day filling positions of great responsibility and draw­ ing big salaries because of the efficiency of the train­ ing they received at Michigan Business & Normal College Big business executives exercise the greatest care in choosing the young men and young women who make up the ranks of their organizations, for they realize that from these ranks must come their depart­ ment heads and executives of the future. There is but one way to climb the ladder of business success. That way lies through promotion. One may start as a typist, a stenographer, a bookkeeper, a secre- Fortythird Annual Fall Op the enrollment in all depar tary, or an accountant, and, if he has the proper train­ ing, may rise to the very top in a comparatively short time. Thousands of successful men and women are living proof of this—are living proof that YOU, too, can rise from the ranks of business. Training young men and young women to rite from the ranks of business is the very foundation of every course in our curriculum. We do far more than fit them merely to hold their first positions. We look beyond those first positions, excellent though they may be, and give each of our students that thorough, broad grasp of business that gives him, or her, a limitless chance for promotion. ng September 2-8, 1924 Sounds Lika an Old Saw.

The daughter, who is staying with childhood friends at 225 Upton and who, during the last several days has been preparing for the time when she eould neo her mother, whom she had not seen for 15 years, accompanied by her friends started for the county home about • o’clock. It was a fine morning. Tho green of the trees, the flowers of the roadside, birds, quiet cows told her of a contented arid happy world, but she wns going to the poorhouse to see her mother. "The last mile,” she told an Enquir­ er and News reporter this morning. “How long it was! My heart kept thumping and throbbing in my breast and it seemed as If we would never get there. Yet the machine was flying. I cotild not help the tears,’ they kept running down my ehceks. I was not sure thnt I would be able to withstand the meeting. I wanted to be brave and make mother happy when she saw mo.’’ At last the ear hearing the daughter on the last lap of a 4,000 mile journey to her mother’s side, arrived nt the county farm.

In 1923 there were some 2000 cracking "units” in operation, of which about 1600 were Burton Process, and the remaining 400 scattered among other cracking processes of more recent origin. During 1923 the 14 million cars and trucks used about 6.800,000,000 gallons of gasoline. Despite the flood of crude oil during 1923, there were but 4,950,000,000 gallons of straight run gas­ oline available for these 14 million cars and trucks. Hence it is obvious that without the cracking process now so generally in use, gasoline prices would have been substantially higher than they were and one-fourth of these vehicles could not have been operated. Thia clear, simple statement of facts, verified and set forth in a non-partisan manner in a keen review of the situation by Charles E. Bowles in the Oil and Gas Journal, is more convincing than a dozen arguments in proving the immense ser­ vice which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has rendered the automobilist, by developing the Burton Cracking Process, and by inventing stills and other refining machinery to a point where there is practically no crude which cannot be treated and made to yield substantial quanti­ ties of good gasoline. If the Oil and Gas Journal is correct in its figures, and we believe that they are conservative, the average saving per car was $35.72 for 1923 —a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Gsseral Office: Standard OU BnUdtag 910 So.

LER FURNITURE Co ‘‘Ketcham Bill”, introduced by onr own congressman, and by him succesafully piloted through the Houm. Dr. Miehael write*: August IS, 1924. Mr. M. L. Cook, Hastings, Michigan. Dear Mr. Cook: A serious situation has ariaen in Mexico due to tho danger of diseased animal* being imported into Mexico from other count rie*, and that disease* aa for example tho dread “foot and mouth disease ”, may thus spread over the Mexican border Into the Southern states. Stoekmcn, senators and repre­ sentatives of these border states have become alarmed nnd arc writing to Secretary Wallnee to send an Agri­ cultural Attache to the Embassy in Mexico City to aafeguard American interest*. The following extract from a letter dated July 28. written by CoL I. T. Pryor, of San Antonio, Texaa ia a coae in point. Col. Pryor write*: “We should have attached to the staff of the American Embassy in Mex­ ico an attache from your department for the .purpose of working with the Mexico authorities on the live atoek Question with a view of eo-operating In the enforcement of the present temporarv decree ami aanisting in every pos­ sible way in keeping the Agricultural Department well advised bn condition* in Mexico regarding live atoek and agri­ culture.” Last April the Honorable John Keteham, representative from the 4th district of Michigan, succeeded in engineering through the House of Representatives a far seeing bill en­ abling the Department of Agriculture to meet just such a crisis as haa come up in Mexico. The Department of Agriculture will within the next few days send a special representative to Mexico Oity. The Ketcham bill empower* the Secretary of Agriculture to appoint agricultural attache*, with diplomatic standing, to embassies of foreign coun­ tries, which clothes such men with power to officially deal with foreign governments in agricultural matters. The bill also provides for experts of the Department of Agriculture to go to foreign countries to promote the sale of nnd extend the markets for our great agricultural surpluses. Experts from the Department are now in Eur­ ope smoothing the way for greater shipments of eotton, beef, pork nnd grain abroad. The bill also provides for a thorough investigation and re­ porting od agricultural production and marketing conditions overseas. It is needless to call anyone’s atten­ tion to the critical situation of the agri­ culture of the United States—a situa­ tion created largely by the poor adjust­ ment of American farming to the world conditions precipitated by the Great Whir. We iu Jhe United States must have accurate-information of what in going on in the field of foreign agricul­ ture and the influence of these happen­ ings on our own prices in order to make our own agriculture a success. The Ketcham bill provides for the special­ ists of the Department of Agriculture collecting and broadcasting that very information. The Ketcham bill was the most important single legislation for agri­ cultural relief that passed the House of Representatives the last session of Congress. The passage of thia bill was due to the skill and ability in states­ manship which Mr. Keteham exhibited, both on the floor of the House and in fighting the political opposition to th& bill in committee. I have been in close touch with many congressmen this past session and I consider Mr. Ketcham one of the ablest of the younger statesmen. He enjoys the confidence and esteem of the House leader* having been appointed a mem­ ber of the Committee on Agriculture. He has been spoken of to me as one of tho strongest “floor-fighters” in the house. A floor-fighter, by the way, ia a man who ean stand on the floor of ConEss and drive home his arguments ieally and convincingly amid the constant interruptions and uproar of the opposition and the heckling of the bear-baiter* who take advantage of every parliamentary procedure to dosra the speaker. This coupled with his energy, ability and personality will carry him far in the service of his country, his state and his party. With cordial regards, Sincerely Louis G. Miehael.

One of the big aubjects of diaeuaalon at this convention was the primary election as well as the regular election laws. The dorks voted in favor of a re eodifleation of election laws to be made by the state. They also favored a requirement which would compel any voter who asked for a primary ballot at a primary election to record his or her party affiliation. We hope the time'wiil come, too, when the county clerks, as well as all organizations of a political character, will favor aa amendment to the pri­ mary election law which will prohibit nominations by less than a majority, and provide for a second primary if necessary in order that a majority may have a chance to express themselves.

IT ISN'T YOUR TOWN—IT’S YOU Bummer vacations should bring the folk* back home with a broader vuriou, greeter health, and a firmer apprecia­ tion of the old home town. Every man and woman secretly nurses in the mind the viaion of a town that would be moat desirable. They work through the winter months and then when holiday time comes around they make a dash for what they hope will prove their ideal surrounding, only to find as a rule that they kava found nothing particularly new. Bight then they should realize that the kind of town they really want can be had right where they have their real estate investment if they only net-to work to make it so. As the good verse says, “It’s a knock at yourself when yoa knock your town: it isn’t your town, IT’8 YOU.’* Real towns are not made by apa­ thetic existence in them. They are not built by ruinous competition. Pros­ perity and happiness are fruits of a constructive spirit, the result of every one working for the same end, no one dodging a fitting responsibility. The persistent activity of a half dozen unselfish men, backed by ideas, ean miso a town from the dead. Snap and life in any community simply reflect hto character of its residents. Indif­ ference is the Insetting sin of American community life. Yon ami your neigh­ bor can make thia tho beat section on earth if you put yourselves into it.

Little Margaret Endsley, aged nearly six, granddaughter of Mrs. Ends­ ley, was playing with some other chil­ dren at the barn. She came running to the house and asked for some shears, which she was unable to find, and then derided that she would take a paring knife, with which to eut off some straws with which the children were playing. She started out of the house with the (Continued on Page 7.) Business The other day in the eity of 8t. Louis, the ran of Robert LaFollette was making a political speech. In it someone made the remark that it was claimed that the success of Senator LaFollette would greatly injure busi­ ness. This young man, who may be safely set down as representing the views of his father, answered, "I do not think that the election of any one of the three present candidates will greatly affect business. However, if my father thought that it was neceraary in order to got his program across to produce a few years of depression and hard times, he wouldn't hesitate a minute to do it.” There you have LaFollette *s picture painted by his own son—a man who values the success of his own theories far above the welfare of bis country, and who, in order to carry out his theories, would not hesitate to bring financial disaster upon the whole coun­ try. And a President can do a good deal of that if he attempta Would You Prefer a Free 5 or 7 Day Chautauqua to a Picnic? The Merchants, Manufacturers and Profession' al Men of Hastings Wish to Know Which the People oFBarry County Prefer In the Form of Free Entertainment For the past three years, in efrder to become better acquainted, and to show their appreciation to the people of Barry county for the business dealings they may have had, the merchants, manufacturers and professional men of Hastings have given a big free pienie. The one this year was on July Slat. Each year some excellent musical attraction has been given, all aorta of sports arranged, dancing, racing and many other features. It has eoat many hundreds of dollars each year to put this program across, and in no sente has it been put on with any thought or idea of making money, as business places were eloaed at 10 o’clock on tho day of the picnic and re­ mained closed the balance of the day. But the merchants, manufacturers and profcaaional men of Hastings want to do just what the people would like to have them do, and provide just the kind of entertainment they would like the beat. Having thia thought in mind, it has been suggested that hereafter, instead of a ONE DAY Picnic, tho mer­ chants, manufacturers nnd professional men should put on a 5-DAY or a 7-DAY FREE CHAUTAUQUA, which would include the best music, the best lec­ turers, end the best entertainments that the country affords. This would doubtless include, ns the present Chautauqua does, a morning session more especially for tho children and little-ones; a good lecture or musical entertainment, or both in the afternoon, commencing about three o’clock, nnd a lecture, musical enter­ tainment, or a play in tho evening. This would afford a wonderful variety of entertainment, nnd would give people an opportunity of listening to the world’s greatest lecturers, the very best musical talent, tho best plays, concerts and entertainments. In short it would be educational as well as'entertaining, all of which would be provided FREE.

Nashville, Mich., May 14, 1924—Adv tf. The Primaries will be Sept. 9th when the people of Michigan, men and women, alike, are supposed to get out and perform the duties of good citizenship and VOTE. The good, loyal people of Barry eouaty should never again let.it be raid of them, as was truthfully said after the last Primary, that only a very, very small per cent of them per­ formed that duty. Here are some important FACTS for all to re­ member:— 1st—You CANNOT VOTE unless your name ia registered. An Unusual Honor to Barry County, Let Voters Show Their Appreciation Of It. This eity and this eouaty are signally honored in having as a candidate for Gveraor, Hon. W. W. Potter, who was rn in Maple Grove township, graduated from the Nashville schools and later from the university, began his practice of the law in this city and still maintains his residence here; also in having as candidate for congress the man who hns demonstrated through four years of fine service his splendid Jollifications for Congressman, Hon. okn C. Keteham. It is rare that any eonnty, particular­ ly a small county like Barry, has the honor of having at one time two can- didates for two such highly important offices os that of governor and congress­ man. , Can tho county do less than show its appreciation by giving a big vote for both of these men! Will not the coun­ ty be honoring itself in thus showing its appreciation of the services of these two men who, in very important posi­ tions, have served ao well as to nave marked them as men worthy of the honors of governorship and of congress­ man! There are about 9,000 legally qualified voters in Barry county. Would it not be fine to give a 100 per eent vote or as near that as possible, for these two Barry county men for the import­ ant positions of governor and congress­ man! Of course the BANNER would not urge any man who feck that he cannot conscientiously vote a. republican pri­ mary ballot September 9 to do this, but we feel that every Barrjv county voter who feels that he ean. conscien­ tiously vot^ a' republican primary bal­ lot would be doing a fine service to Barry county and aiding two worthy men by recording hie or her vote for W._ W. Potter for governor and John C. Ket eham for congress. 2nd—Yon CANNOT VOTE if you have moved from aim township, ward, or precinct into another township, ward, or precinct, unless you r register in the township, ward, or precinct in which you now reside. 3rd—If your name is now registered in the' township, ward, or precinct where ycu now reside, you DO NOT HAVE TO REREGISTER. 4th—If you are a qualified voter, and yon are NOT REGISTERED, you MUST REGISTER BEFORE AUGUST 30TH if you want to vote at the coming Primaries. If you reside anywhere ia the city of Hastings, you can register any time during the day by going to the city clerk’s office,, in tho eity hall, where your name and street address will be re­ corded in the Registration book. That’s all you have to do, aad it’s If you reside in the country you can register by seeing tie clerk of your townskip. �THE HASTINGS BANNER. WEDJHttDAY.

But the one feature that everyone enjoys ia the fart that at the Barry county fair, especially on Thursday and Friday, you ean meet almost everybody else from Barry county at the fair. This ia the one institution that brings all the people together, and not the least of the pleasure of the fair is that of this greeting of people, who hardly see each other through the year until they meet at the fair. Remember the sale of tickets at each of the drug stores of thia city, also at Rehor’s and the Club cigar store. From now until the fair opens, season tickets for adults ean be purchased for 91.00. After the fair opens the priee will be 91.25. Children’s tickets can bo purchased now for 50 tents. After the fair opens they will cost 05 cents. Vehicle tickets, entitling one to the privilege of driving onto the fair ground, will coat 91.00 while tho fair Is in progress, but you ean pur­ chase them now for 50 cents. The advantage of thia advance sale to the patrons of the fair is so evident that tho sale thia year ought to be larger than uaual because of the exception­ ally attractive program prepared for our wonderful fair. The Burna Flyers expect to have two areoplanes at Hastings during the fair, and have secured a landing field on the Clifford Hammond farm, north­ west of the city near the city limits. Thio will give the opportunity that many people have longed for, to take a ride in an areoplanc and thus become acquainted with what will, without any doubt, be a favorite means of pas­ senger transportation in the not dis­ tant future. There are now built big passenger aeroplanes, which have all the comforts and conveniences of a pullman eoaeh, and the time ia not far away when there will bo regular trips between the important centers of busi­ ness; nnd when cities like Hastings have a landing fleld, will lie visited by these airships. Now and then you hear about accidents in aeroplanes, but in proportion to tho number of miles travelled, statistics show that aero­ plane travelling is far aafcr than auto­ mobiles or railroads. Let everybody in Barry county plan to take at least Thursday and Friday off and visit the fair for those two flays, both day and evening if possible. IVAN JASKULSKI IS AR­ RESTED IN NORTH DAK. Sheriff Parker and Pros. Atty. Sigler Went After the Jail Breaker It will be remembered that on July 10 Ivan Jaskulski made his escape from the Barry county jail. He had been in jail on the serious charge of statu­ tory rape, and had had one trial in which the jury disagreed. Sheriff Parker hns been having feel­ ers out for this Polock and finally learn­ ed that his man was at Jamestown, North Dakota. He wired the sheriff there a description of him Wednesday, and on Thursday night he received a tele­ gram that Jaskulski wns in custody. Friday, in company with Prosecutor Ugler, he went to Lansing to get the •requisition papers. That night the prosecutor and sheriff left for North Dakota. It is expected that they will return with the prisoner Friday or Sat urday. Only 2 Days More vpn 171?

THE BEST FOR THE MONEY STORE The Michigan Anti-Saloon League has endorvod the candidacy of Judge Arthur Tuttle, of Detroit, for United States Senator te swrerd the present in­ cumbent, U. R. Senator James Coarins, of Detroit. Jbasmuch as several very desirable candidates bad entered the senatorial contest npunst Senator Couxnrn. which would split thr dry vote, this action of the Anti-Sulo-n League seems at least sensible, and may lave the effect of centering the dry support on one can­ didate. Renat or Cousins hns ofienly espoused the manufacture and "sale of light wines and beer. Judge Tuttle ia “dry” nnd endorsed by the Anti-S«h ■ n League. Thia win have the effort of bringing thr “ wei^ und “dry" question direct issue. It can be taken for granted that the great “wet element in the large cities will l»e behind Senator Couzins, and in cities like Detroit, Grand Rapids, Flint, and others, it enn l>e taken for granted that the wet vote will Ims out to the very limit. Do not get the idea that the “liquor interests” have been per manontly downed, because they have not, nnd will bo an active fbree in this campaign. The greet “dry” sentiment in Michigan, and in every other state, is to be found in the smaller towns nnd agricultural districts. , If those who want to see this state nnd this country remain in the “dry” column, they should organize and urge their friends to get out to the Primaries on Sept. 9th and VOTE. If Senator Couzins is selected through negligence nnd carelessness of “dry” voters in remaining away from the Primaries on Sept. 9th then they will have no reason to coinplain na to whti happens. It used to be repeatedly said that “women would always keep this country in tho dry column.” No one should be more interested in this Question than women, because they were always the greatest sufferers from the liquor traffic, and will be again if it ever comes back. The women have’ n mighty power in politico—but they have never yet sought to use it. Hundreds and perhaps thousands of them in Barry county are not- even REGISTERED. In order to vote at the Primaries nn Hept. Sth they must be registered BEFORE NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT. Hundreds of those who are registered do not even get out to vote. If tho women of Barry county having regard for the future of the county, state nnd nation, want to show the wets what they cap do, and organized effort will do, the field is char.

Particular importance attaches to careful crop storage this season as sat­ isfactory drying and curing of the crop HASTINGS MICHIGAN in th® field has been prevented by weather conditions. Rather points out. When hay or grain has become wet with rain in the field nnd contains more than its natural moisture, overheating in the mow may occur unless proper care is taken, occasionally in such de. grer thnt flames break out. Two instances of spontaneous comI bustion have already conlo to the at­ tention of the M. A.

A min­ ute later the barn was a mass of flame* ami the building with the entire wheat and hay crop for the season was com­ pletely destroyed. Cinders from this blaze were found more than a mile and a half away. “Such losses can be prevented if growers will take great pains to cure their crop in the field,” Mr. Rather •ays. “In sensons like the present the round capped shocks arc touch the more desirable iu protecting the grain from weather injury.

Wfl rarely »aw a young man between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five. 90 per cent of them were victims of war. It is the old men, women and young children who are doing the work of the peasant*. I have dwelt somewhat at length upon this particular battle front be­ cause it is here where America did her hardest fighting and rendered the great­ est service. I have brought home scene* from the American Sector, Hill 204, showing the first American victory in France in July 1018. These photograph* show better than words the terrible destruc­ tion. The following day I made a visit to the Verdun Area, leaving Paris for Verdun by train and automobile to the forts of Verdun, Treneh of Bayonets, Ramogne Cemetery, Mount Faucon and Verdun proper, returning to Paris by train. Perhaps the mod terrible fighting druing the whole war was in 1915 at Verdun. The name “Verdun” and the “Poitus” watehward, "They shall not pa**” have become immortal. In five month* the enemy was able to push forward only eight kilometer* at the eost of more than half a million men. On the top of the Fort de Vanx, which was considered impregnable, is now a battered rain. From this point we can see plain* across whieh the enemy hurled its masses again and again under tho guns of the Fort res*. For some days the German* had gained posses­ sion of the top of the Fort, and fought the ncaslf starvod garrison inside; until on June 7th, Commandant Rnynal, after blowing up the last gun turret wa* forced to capitulate. Vaux was retaken on November 3, 1910. The famous Bayonet Trench is now a permanent memorial to 170 French iicroex, who, while waiting the signal to attack, were buried as they stood in the trenches by a shell explosion. A monument ha* been erected by the late George F. Rand, of Now Buffalo, who visited the Fort and wu so deeply touched after a personal view of this treneh where the bayonet* still showed above the ground, that ho spent a largo ■um of money in making this a per­ manent memorial.

It seems that the lad and some other chidren had been playing around the wagon on whieh the men were loading oats, and it is thought that he tried to climb on­ to the wagon and in some way fell un­ der it, one of the wheels passing over his left arm, crashing it terribly.

In the larger she deposited 18 tumblers; In the smaller, two. The labels proehtfcnrd that this day’s pre- ■ serving was crabapple. Worthy of note were the rows of rhuburb and strawberry conserve aud otfler fruit. Elizabeth lovingly touched each glass, bright and colorful witli the fruit, a footstep, a shadow, and site hastily turned the key. Before she could withdraw the keeper of her secret, Daniel, her husband, had grnsjH-d it. "Why all this concenlmenj?" he de­ manded. “It 1* a custom in my family," she replied. “As far back as I have any knowledge, the women maintained two closets. The smaller contained a tenth of the year's preserving. It was given to the sick of the neighborhood, the church and the hospital. A certain percentage was sold and the proceeds used for the needy." “Very floe, very fine, elegant; but why, why. did your foremothers take thia courseT’ "Because they felt the truth of the proverb. The liberal shall be made fat; and he that wntercth shall be watered also himself.'" Daniel locked the door with deter­ mination. After putting the key in bi* pocket, he faced his wife. “I hope you do not think for one In­ stant that you are going to give away my fruit to lazy people, too shiftless to provide for the winter. 1 forbid you to do anything of the kind; It all be­ longs to me." “But, Daniel, when you married me, one year ago, you said, 'With all my worldly goods I thee endow,’ and this is a very small portion. You cannot, you must not, you shall not deprive me of this privilege." Her husband Jerked himself towards the stairs angrily. "Elizabeth. I’ve told you something, and I mean It." Then, without another word, he strode away to attend a meeting of the se­ lectmen. With a screwdriver she pried off the hinges. Running to the barn, she soon returned with a two-wheeled pushcart. She now worked with fierce energy, wrapping every jar and tumbler In newspaper and placing them In the A glorious full moon was rising as Elizabeth commenced her pilgrimage. For a mile she followed the rutted path. used ottly for hauling wood. Strange shapes and sounds frightened her, but at last she halted beside the disused hut of Old Jnke, the hermit, dead now for twenty years. The fur­ nishings consisted of a rude bunk, a table, one chair and a rusty stove. Who can say what agony of mind she suffered during the next four hours! At the end of that time Dan­ iel found his girl wife, having tracked her by the wheel marks. The Jars had been unpacked nnd were In rows on the ancient table. Elizabeth looked up as he came in with hl* flashlight. but her eye* held for him no recognition. “Oh. how do you do?" Her face wns white nnd her lips quivered. “I am so glad you came. 1 cannot go home to my husband; he has his own private opinions about a certain mat­ ter—nnd—and—we have quarreled. I need a friend. I have been defending my property; Old Jake comes here every few minutes—with a knife. He wants to steal my preserves. Some­ how, he resembled my husband. “Oh!" she shrieked, "there he Is again, with his sharp dagger. Don’t, oh, don’t let him hurt me." With comforting words Daniel gath­ ered her In his arms. Using giant strides and running most of the way. he carried her home. It was five days after. The doctor came from the sickroom and grasped Daniel's hand. “By George!" he ex­ claimed. “she’s really going to live; site is free from delirium, and wants to see her husband." Very softly Daniel tiptoed In and knelt beside the bed. slipping his arm beneath her shoulders. She seemed blissfully happy to be held In this manner. Suddenly she Inquired, “Where is my tenth?" Daniel rose and walked to a bassi­ net where Daniel Abbott. Jr. (age four days), was making funny faces at a blue and white blanket. “Why, Eliza­ beth." he replied, “this Is only your first." Then, sensing her meaning: “Oh. down In the closet, which shall be held sacred. And, dearest, as a token of gratitude for a restored wife. I am planning to build a third closet. In It. from year to year, little son and I will place one-tenth of all the vege­ tables raised on this farm.

AUTHORIZED AQENT FOR, DEVOE PAINT AND VARNISH PRODUCTS Amaring Thing*, Those Rein* of Power Held Very Superior Being* in Hand* of People As far back us the Middle ages, the doctrine was held In England that ministers of state were responsible, not only to the crown, but also to parlia­ ment, according to a writer in the Lon­ don Times. For Instance, In 1341 a pledge was exacted from EdvPard III that the chancellor and other great offleers should be appointed In parlia­ ment, and their work tested by parlia­ ment. In 1378 another similar pledge given. These pledges were not always kept, bnt parliament never lost sight of them, and their spirit survived. At times this responsibility bore down upon bad ministers with tragic effect Several such ministers were impeached by parliament, found guilty and be­ headed—Stafford, for instance, in the reign of Charles I. What may be called the modern doc­ trine of responsible government was first put loro practice in the reign of William and Mary, that is. a few years after the* revolution of 16S8-89. Be­ fore that time the ministry was often composed of men of different political affiliations, and it was no uncommon thing for the secretary of state and the lord treasurer to vote on opposite sides in parliament. A ministry so composed was not efficient or harmonious, and William began the practice of selecting all the ministers from one political party, that party being the one that had the majority in the house of com­ mons. From that beginning has grown our present system of a responsible ministry that Is absolutely dependent for existence upon the will of the bouse of commons.

MEN It will be remembered that when Samuel Gompers, the hnad of the Ameiean Federation of labor, recently agreed to deliver the throe million voters, who bcloag to the unions which make up that osgaaizntion, tbo BAN­ NER them raid that neither Benue! Gompers nor any other man, nor coterie of men in the Aittoriran Federation could deliver the votes of three million American freemen to Ta Follette er to anybody else. Recently the'bead'nf the Railway Brotherhood announced that the mem­ bers of that oganination are free to vote for whom they pleased as Presi­ dent, and that he is opposed to any attempt to deliver the votes of organ­ ized labor to any eagdidate. On Wednesday of last week there was held in the city of Chicago a eonforesee of labor leader-, including the railway switchmen, the Typographical Union, Long Shoremen’s, Tugmen’s Proteetive Araosiatfon. Allied Printing Trades' Council, Marino Engineers, Machinists* Union, Stationary Engi­ neers, International Dredgmen’s Un­ ion, Freight Handler*’ Union, and the Maintenance of Way Union. All these were represented at this confer­ ence. They voted unanimously that neither themselves nor the members of their organizations would feel bound by any statement or by any agreement made'by Mr. Gompers or by anyone else to deliver the vote* of their mem­ ber* to any candidate for the presi­ dency.- ■ This is precisely what the BANNER declared at the time, but wo are very much gratified to sec the vindication of our judgment. What would thia country come to if a few racn like Sam Gompers eould arrange to deliver (farce million votes to the republican party, or democratic party, or socialistic party, or LaFolJett's party! Instead of being a representative government it would bo on oligarchy, with a few leaders like Gompers and men of that stamp getting their head* together and saying who should and who should not rule this country and what »bould and whWt should not be the policies of the administration which they favor. This country will cease to be a democracy and will be­ come a nation of slave* when it reaches the condition when a few men can use the large membership* of unions, or other organizations and deliver them body, soul and breeches over to any W standard Gauge. We like to think pt ^meriea as a The old- coal pit tramwajk ar about 100 years ago for which Ui*org» Mte> free country.

We resent the idea of Samuel Sompers, lorn in England, when he urges .the members of the labor unioni to defy the decrees of the courts of this country. We any that sueh a man as that had better go back to England where he came from, and whoso insti­ tutions he seems to favor, whose form of government seems to" ranch more satisfactory to him than the American. Mr. Gompers, of course, wants the Supreme Court of the United States to become a mere cipher with all the power vested in congress, just as all the power in England iti vested in parliament. It is well understood that an oligarchy, composed of a few lead­ ers, virtually rule England, because they rule parliament. There the decrees of parliament cannot l»c set aside, because England has no writtea constitution. But in tbo United States, thank God, we have the rights of the common man safeguarded in the constitution of the our country, and the Fathers in their wisdom provided a Supreme Court, which could declare unconstitutional any law passed by congress if it wore contrary to the provisions of our written constitution.

This he fancies will help him to reduce our federal gnd state court* to a zero and set’ up a labor oligarchy in this country, that can doty the court* and the laws of the land, and which in an election cam­ paign can be used a« a elqb to terrorize law-abiding, liberty-loving American citizens into countenancing such'detestable; proceedings as l^r.

Detroit *• Wsat * Goveraorta That the peu^o of Detroit intend to vote at th© prip“*7 election next oonth is •videaepd by the tre9*ajou| registration of voters there this month. Detroit** total vote on secretary ef stste at tha.Jast goaml election was 84,252. while the registration this year had reached 173,000 up to last Satur­ day night—mpr* than double their pre vions you. " ,. , The Detroit Nowa, which wield* a powerful infiurare in that city, is bask­ ing Gov. Groesbeck and Mhator Couzens end has had many kind words for Bob LaFoUetto ia spite of the latter’a so­ cialistic and communistic connection*. Thee© iatomt* are appajrslly deter­ mined to carry the city at Detroit and igan’a rural countie*, and they bonk on the fact that people in the rural counties do not ^ttend the primary elections in large numbers. One Detroit paper openly boasted that the rural countie* of Michigan ■ee<! no longer be considered a political factor because the people of those coun­ ties would not attend the primary elec­ tions. Rural Michigan doe* not want an­ other term for Governor Groesbeck, neither does it want Senator Cotuens returned to th© United States Senate, but the only way to prevent either from happening is for <verybody to see to it that they are registered and then go to the polls qn Sept. 9 and vote. Rural Michigan Republicans can defeat these two men and save the state from domination by Groesbeck, Couzens, the Detroit News, LaFoUetto or anv other interesta or combinations if each Republican will vote on Sept. 9. This appeal is mgde especially to Republicans, for the reason that the Democrats of Michigan have vary wisely solved their problem in advance by selecting only one candidate for Governor and on© for United States Senator ip advance of the primary. If you are not already registered the last day on which you may do so is on August 30. Don't miss this opportunity to show what rural Michigan eon do when a political emergency arises such as is now before the Republican voters.

The demand for BEECH-NUT Chewing Tobacco alone is more than 250 million packages in a single year. That’s because we didn’t let tobacco growers, labor, manufacturing costs, State, Federal and revenue taxes collect their increases from the quality or the weight.

Blizzard’s Ensilage Cutter Letz Dixie Mixed Feed Maker Farmers spend over a billion dollars a year for milled feeds. They get 75c to $1.50 per 100 for their crops. Then they turn right around and buy them back in the form of fancy mixed feeds for $1.50 to $2.50 per 100. Mixed feed in a balanced ration -is the quickest and cheapest way to produce flesh or milk; but no one can sell you as good ground feeds as you can make for yourself .with a Letz Dixie Mill. With a Letz-Dixie, you can make your own feed from the sheaf or shock without threshing, you know exactly what goes into it and you get positive results.

Herriot of France goes considerable credit for the final success of the reparation parley be­ tween the nations involved in the re­ cent, world war. While Herriot’• sane diplomacy was but a factor in the settlement, it was a vital factor. He had his own countrymen to conteud ' with—his countrymen with their very real fears, hates and jealousies of the Germans—and successfully made them see the wisdom of a fair settlement and secured their consent to leave the Ruhr district. ’ While the Herriot efforts may not rank in importance with those of Gen­ eral Dawes and his committee, it was very important that the French people be made to feel that their interests were safeguarded in the final form of acceptance of the plan. Had Franco continued to regard all efforts for set­ tlement with suspicion, the whole world would have continued in its un­ settled nnd uncertain state. That the aceeptaneo of tho Dawea plan means much to this country is too — well understood to deserve comment at thia time. Tho United States has been “holding the bag" for a number of European nations since the war. It Germany goes ahead and pays accord­ ing to tho schedule she has agreed to, it cannot help but stabilize borine** in Europe and hare its stabilizing effect upon the iadustries of America. The schedule of German payments for fhe first fire yean is: First year—1,000,000.000 gold mark*. Second rear—3,220,000,000 gold marks. Third year—14800.000.000 gold marks. Fourth year—1,7501)00,000 gold marks. Fifth rear—2.500,000,000 gold marts.

A resolution adopted in the Fifth district serves as an ex* ample of what is needed in many sec­ tions: _ " ‘Encouragement of a proper tjetem of diversified farming in which farmers will grow as far as practical all the food and food crops necessary for feeding the family and livestock of the farm, and to keep on the farms the requisite kinds and amounts of livestock best to meet tho economic needs of the farming district. “Tho conference in the Ninth dis­ trict emphasized strongly the need of greater diversification. The farmer who raises nothing but wheat in unwise, even foolish. Ho is one of the worst kind of gamblers, one who gambles on the weather, on insects, on drought, and various other things that ’ affect the quality of the product. The fann­ er who raises wheat' and along with it the other crops and keepa a reasonable amount of livestock, has something to fall back on whoa wheat is plentiful nnd cheap. He is not patting all of his eggs in ono basket. “In many of the states the first step in diversified farming is to get the farmer to raise sufficient livestock te feed hi* own family. He needs to get a eow, sow and a couple of dozen chick­ ens so that his own needs can be sup­ plied without going into debt at the store. Livestock need to furnish food for the family will frequently eonnno large amounts of feed that otfaerwli^ go to wMte.

"The agricultural commisaioa is do­ ing all in its power to encourage n sano system of diversified farming. The subject ia being discussed at var­ ious conferences, articles and editorials are being published fur the purpose of acquainting bankers with the im­ portance of this work. "It is encouraging at these confer­ ences to find that the bankers ere in­ corporating tho subject of diversified farming in their program and laying plans in every way possible to carry It out- To this end we have records of a _ number of banks that are putting up money to their farmers to purchase livestock. They are encouraging boys and girls to go into club work. "For the coming year we hope to carry on this work in greater detail and ns far as possible hold conferences with tho officers and members of the agricultural committee in each of the respective states at tho Agricultural College.

SCOTLAND Never Once Mentions Opposing: Candidate or Parties— People Like It We believe the country Is a little disappointed in John W. Davis as a presidential standard bearer. He seems to feel that it is necessary for him to slam most everybody and everything in sight wearing a republican label, and that thereby fancies that he ia helping his own chances toward reach­ ing the presidential chair. We believe, however, that the people of thia country like better the attitude and tactics of Preaident.Coolidge, who, in his letter of acceptance, never men­ tioned in any derogatory way hia politi­ cal opponent, Mr. Davis, nor the party to which he belongs, but confined his speech of acceptance solely to advocat­ ing principles for which he stands. W’e believe the country likes that much better than mnd-throwing. W« believe that Mr. Davis was espec­ ially unfortunate in a recent address when he ridiculed the claim that “tho Dawes reparation plan ia ■ a great achievement of -thia administration ”. He also reiterated his former state­ ment that the “Washington arras coaference, to which the President had pointed, was of doubtful value.”. It seems to trn aa if Mr. Davis is fall­ ing to be generous right where people would have a right to expect thnt he would be generous-minded. When •II (Continued on paga four.) Thursday and Friday.

Honor Two Well Known BARRY COUNTY MEN at the Primaries TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 This is not a political advertisement; It is not an advertisement at alL It is just the BANNER freely and cheer­ fully, because we share the civic pride of tie people of Barry county, evidenc­ ing that pride by showing what we be­ lieve to be the right spint toward two Barry county does and should con­ sider it a great honor to be the home of two men of. sneh attainmente and char­ acter that they are considered worthy apinrats for two of the highest offices thin the gift of the people, that of governor and- congressman. Can a county do less than rally to the rapport of these two menf Can it do lea than show that the county does appreciate sneh an honorf We aD agree that it should. How can it be done!

That must be a matter of conscience with him. Of .course, he has the legal right, under the primary, to do it if he chooses. It is a question of what a man feels as to hia own dnty and re­ sponsibility in such a matter; and that, of -course, every man or woman must settle for himself or herself. The BANNER would not assume to do that. But rarely if any voter, no matter to what party he belongs, will support on election day either or both of these men for the positions for which they are candidates at the primary, then he has a moral, as well as a legal right to vote for them at the primary. This phase of the matter we will not discuss any further. widely rend but nre considered as auth­ orities in the subjects treated by them. He began the practice of law in this city, and his work here made him one of the noted attorney! in -western Mich­ igan. He was selected for the State Public Utilities Commhreion at a time when very knotty legal and constitu­ tional questions required decision. It is conceded that he has made a won­ derful record at Lansing. While filling his office there, he hfis always maintained hia residence and voted in Hastings, which he has always considered his home town. He la a man of the widest reading, of remarkable ability, and it is conceded on all hands that he is one of the strong men of the state of Michigan. It would be fine to have such a man as that for governor. Wayne county, of course, will doubt­ less try to roll up a big vote for Gov­ ernor Grosbeck, who has served its intorests so well. But it is up to tho rural counties of Michigan to show what they ean do in the way of polling a big.vote. It is not so easy as it is in.tha cities, but it can be done; and . William W.

Perhaps yon will be interested in one of the side trips I took from London. The week spent in Scotland is memor­ able and marked with many happy reeolleetions. At the elose of the Lon­ don meeting proper, the American bar divided itself into two parts, one section going tp Scotland together with the bar of that country who were pres­ ent at the London meeting, end a large contingent from the Canadian bar. The larger part however, went to France joining the bar of that country in a week of memorable entertainment My visit to Franco was made the fol­ lowing week. On my return to London from Seotland I made several short trips that I had not been able to make before, such as Stratford-on-Avon nnd other places I will mention in connection with ex­ periences in England proper. I took the east coast to Edinburgh and returned by the west coast. This together with my trip from Liverpool eaablsd me to nee the larger part of this truly wonderful country. Nothing was left undone by the Seottiah bar to make our stay with them one continuous round of pleasure and delight. Time will not permit me to give in detail a history of the many feetivitiee and entertainments planned and carried out by the bar of Scotland. Many .rooms and departments that had been closed for yean in the Holy­ rood palaee were opened to the Amer­ icas bar.for the first time. There seemed to be but one thought and desire, and that was to do honor and pay their tribute of respect to what they called their “Distinguished Visiton from America.” The badge we wore was indeed a passport every­ where.

Hero is Congressman Ketcham’s record on this important matter. In 1919 as Master of the State Grange he led a fight that resulted in a.ehnngo in tho State Board of Equalization ao that Detroit and Wayne eounty wonld pay their fair share of State taxes. Wayne then paid 29 per eent. Thia year she will pay 45 per eent. Every other county ’will receive a reduction, in State taxes in eonseqnenee. Ta 19J9 the six counties of the Fourth Coagressional District paid 5 3-10 per cent of the State taxes. This year they will pay 4 2-10 per ceat, or a sav­ ing to these six counties of over >150,000 due to lower equalization alone. HON. JOHN C. KETCHAM.

As a matter of fact, both Messrs. Potter and Ketcham grew up within just a few miles of each other in the township of Mnplc Grove. That town­ ship ought to turn out en masse to honor two such men. Mr. Kctehnm came to this city when a bov in his teens and graduated from the High school; was a teacher several years, and then County School Com­ missioner. and then entered upon the work of the Grange, in which he won a state and national reputation, because of his insighF into farm problems, his thorough mastery of them and his marked ability as a speaker.

However by keeping my general direction from St. Mark's in mind I manage to get about fairly well. Venetian shops are interesting and full of color. It was here that I had my first experience at “jewing down."' Americans are used to the one price sys­ tem in stores, Italians are not. For instance n bead bag was offered me at 300 lire. I offered a 150 and started to walk out. The manager then told me I could have it for 185 lire, but that didn’t interest me. ‘Although he later came down to 175. I didn't buy be­ cause I am not “up’’ enough on bead bags to know what was really the right price to pay. I am going to take a gondola ride this afternoon and incidentally take some photographs. Am anxious to know how tho films I have already sent home have turned out. The famous 8t. Mark’s cathedral here looks more like a heathen temple than it doc* a Christian church. It's a com­ bination of several types of architec­ ture and an amazing conglomeration of many colored marbles, mosaics, domes nnd arches. It is different from any­ thing I have yet seen. Above the en­ trance are four large bronze horses. They have an interesting history, hav­ ing been in possession of the Romans, the Turks and Napoleon carried them oft to Paris at the time of his conquest of Italy, they bcin^ later returned. Just what their significance on a Chris­ tian church can bo I would hate to say. The interior is more barbaric than the exterior. On fhe ceiling are a multitude of colored mosaics on a gold back ground. Tho effect is colorful but to me, not beautiful. The square in front of St. Mark’s is always nn interesting place full of life and is the general meeting place in the city. Everyone seems to eorne here in the evening for a chat or to hear the band. It is interesting to stand on a corner of the square and observe tho crowds go by—one sees so many dif­ ferent type*. I visited the Ducal palace and came away with two impressions—a great ad­ miration for the mastery of color ns displayed in the old Venetian painters, and an intense dislike for gilt. The over abundant use of tho latter in my opinion spoiled what otherwise might have been a very beautiful interior. All along the walls and on the coiling are wonderful paintings, some of im­ mense Mize, but the effect to me wax spoiled by the great masses of gilt woodwork surrounding them, also I fail to see the use of having fine oil paint­ ings on the ceiling. It is impossible to see them properly and a painting that cannot be seen well is useless. Gondola* aro still extensively used in Venice. I was afraid that motor boat* might have driven them out. Gondola* are very picturesque and graceful and they are handled with surprising ease and skill by the gondoliers. Will leave Venice for Florence tomor­ row and after a few days there go to Nice then back to Paris by a more or less roundabout way. I certainly ap­ preciate the opportunity to take this alendid trip nnd realize more and more . the time just how lucky I itn, BARBER'S CORNERS.

We believo that the general opinion of the people of the United States ia that the Washington arms conference, which resulted in a reduction of the navies of Great Britain, Japan and the United Staten nt a time when all three countries were feverishly building warships, and when it looked as if trouble might enme betwren the United States and Jnpsft, was a marked step forward in peaceful diplomacy, and that it means a better day for the world. President Coolidge has let it be known that ns soon as the Dawes plan shall be in operation in Europe, he will immediately call another arms confer cnee in Washington, in which he will attempt to have the nations of the world limit not only the building of warships, but also of airships, sub­ marine and other parapherpalin nnd equipment designed for war, and nlso would agree to reduce the standing annies and nnvics. Anti no one would then expect, or feel, that the armies and navies would be maintained for agree sive, war like purposes. We believe that in belittling the Washington conference, which carries with it also the implication that he feels the same way toward the coming conference which President Coolidge will call, that Mr. Davis has belittled himself instead of the man or men whom he attempted to ridicule. ¥ Y.

It is a strange coincidence that two of the greatcat poets that Scotland pro­ duced were permitted to meet in tneir lifetime, and although Burns was a few years the older, the cherished wish of both of them was gratified, and from that meeting we are told by Scott ’■ his­ torians, the world has been piade rich­ er.

UM GET OUT AND VOTE AT THE PRIMARY Which Will Be Held Sept. 9— It Means Much to the Peo­ ple of Michigan If you arc not now registered in the township, ward or precinct In which you reside, you eannot vote at the coming primaries on Sept. Sth. The last day upon which you could have your name registered, in time to vote at the primaries, was August 30th. The primary on Sept. 9th means much to the people of Michigan, but judging by the absolute indifference shown byVoTerarits Importance hasn’t made any very deep impression. On Sept. 9th wo nre to nominate a candidate for tho United States Sen­ ate, as well ns Congressman, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and county offi­ cers. nil of them highly important in national, state nnd county affairs. There is no question but what tho people of Michigan nre “dry” and would like to seo tho prohibition laws strengthened rather than relaxed. But if those who fnvor a dry Michigan re­ main indifferent nnd take no interest in the primaries, or who is nominated, It stands to reason that Senator Couzens will win out, and ho has advo­ cated the manufacture nnd sale of light winea nnd beer. It behooves everv man and woman, who wants to sec Michigan remain in the dry column and its laws strengthened rather than relaxed, to vote for Judge Arthur J. Tuttle of Detroit, who has been en­ dorsed by the Anti-Saloon Longue for United States Senator to sueeoed Sen­ ator Couzens. The re-election of Con­ gressman John C. Ketcham, is also equally necessary, desirable and im­ portant. When it eomes to state af­ fairs there is the ehnnee to nominate Wm. W. Potter, and the influence of the Governor in state affairs is para­ mount.

DM CD UN nis LINE II P SOLIDLY REASONS (Continued from page one.) indicated their stand on prohibition and law enforcement aa favorable or unfavorable are as follown: Sheriff. Gilbert M.

Kidder, Rep., favorable. Kim Sigler, Dem., favorable. State Senator. Georg® G. Hunter, St. Johns, Rep., favorable. Isaiah Boatman, Eaton Rapids, Dem., favorable. State Repreaentatlva, Alfred M.

Eli Linsley, Dem., favorable. “The questionnaire was designed to put the candidate on record aa to his viewa on repeal, modification, or enforcement of the existing prohibi­ tion laws. R. N. Holsnple, superinten­ dent of the dry league, who wns in charge of the state canvass, said. It is our view that prohibition needs only a fair trial to be made a complete sueccM. Our aim in making this can­ vass has been to give our thousands of dry friends information as to the stand of candidates on this great issue. We feel sure that the success of pro­ hibition rests in the hands of intelligent officials who have the proper re­ gard for the law and the proper ambi­ tion to uphold it. It is tho purpose of the League nnd its thousand friends in Michigan to see that men who have pledged themselves to up­ hold- prohibition nnd enforce the law do so during their term of office.” “On the state ticket, the Anti-Sa­ loon League finds the seven guberna­ torial candidates favorable. In the lieutenant governor campaign, the League is supporting Luren Dickinson and has denied its support to George Welsh. In the senatorial campaign, the League in concentrating its efforts to defeat James Couzens and his five per cent beer platform has selected from the rest of the field Judge Arthur Tuttle and arc lined up solidly in sup­ port of his candidacy.” WHY IT IS BETTEI Ml LESS EXKISIVE BECAUSE the fees and commissions allowed for services as Executor or - Administrator are fixed by law, and are the same when rendered by The Michigan BECAUSE The Michigan Trust Company maintains -a specialized organization for all services ordinarily incident to the duties of an Executor or Administrator— necessary executor’s or administrator's bond, stationery, account books, postage, storage of valuable account books and papers, and often storage of jewelry, securi­ ties, and other valuables. When an individual serves as executor or administrator, BECAUSE there are no items of expense chargeable against an estate when The Michigan Trust Company serves, that are any greater than when an indi­ vidual serves. BECAUSE with The Michigan Trust Company u Executor, Administrator Trustee, there is ample financial responsibility, continued existence, financial performance of the duties of the office, greater detail in statements rendered, and usually better net results obtained for the beneficiaries. BECAUSE an individual named as executor in a win may die during his administration of ths estate, or cannot, for business or personal reasons, eerve.for the requisite length of time; and sometimes be is unsuited to the task. THE MICHIGAN TRUST COMPANY SERVES AS CO-EXECUTOR OR CO-TRUSTEE WITH AN INDIVIDUAL. Where an individual has an intimate knowledge of the business or family conditions of the maker <of the will or trust, it may sometimes be desirable that such an individual be appointed to serve with The Michigan Trust Company. - TKE^.

Manufacturing Company’s (Purnell and Carr) stock has been going quite rapidly during the past two weeks and the man­ agement hopes that with a few more sales of preferred stock, they will be in position to proceed with the manufacture of Harrow Attachments and Garden Hoes on a large enough scale to take care of the constantly increas­ ing business. In order to manufacture any article at a profit it is necessary to have machinery and equipment and working capital to operate on an economic basis, and that is the only reason the P. and C. Manufacturing Company have been offering for sale any more preferred stock. Over 600 Dealers and Wholesalers are now handling the products of the P. and C. Manufacturing Company. We want you to keep in mind that this company is not a dream, IT IS A FACT, ana is operating right now. We believe P. and C. Manufacturing Company stock is a good invest­ ment because there is a demand for the products it is manufacturing. The salesmen of these products are meeting with success everywhere they go. - We are not asking you to invest in some “Fly-by-night" proposition. This is a Hastings Company, manned and managed by Hastings business men, whose interests are practically all in Hastings. The patent rights held by the P. and C. Manufacturing Company cannot be infringed upon, and the fact that this factory is situated in the center of a splendid farming community contributes in no small way to its chances for success. This stock is selling fast enough so that if you want to get into this or­ ganization, you will do well to sign the attached coupon and send it in at once. If you delay you may be too late to participate in this enterprise. WHAT IS PREFERRED STOCK? Preferred Capital Stock shall be preferred both as to dividends and principal, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to a dividend of Eight (8) per centum per annum, payable semi-annually on the first day of January and July in each year, which shall be cumulative and payable before any dividend shall be set apart or paid on the Non-Par Value Stock.

Life looks mighty bright to you—everything looks rosy and you feel that you must keep your ambition in check lest it get away from you. For weeks you have been ‘planning your futureJ You may not have come to a definite conclusion as to just what you will do but you are concerned about it Mere “work” seems irksome and uninviting—you want a “career.” A career takes you somewhere and gives gives you the prominence that comes from doing big things. You Shudder at the Thought of Failure—MANY FAIL RIGHT HERE! Too often High School graduates try to start their life’s work too soon. They become over anxious to earn money, and wages seem big because they are the first they have ever earned. They take the first job open to them, then after a short time they \ O. J. ARGUBRIOIIT President of MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL OOLLEGE REALIZE THEIR ERROR They find their High School education does not fill the requirements of the job. Many try to overcome this trouble and make a mighty effort to advance themselves in the position they have occupied. Hundreds kill ambition and stay in a rut the rest of their lives—ambition dead. NOW THE POINT IS— There are Two Essentials for Success: 1. —You Must Prepare for Success. 2. —Having Prepared, You Must Go Where Success Is. Our High School friend had just a little more pre­ paration to make. He had but a course to take in Busi­ ness Training to fit him to become a capable Secretary or Accountant His rise (or her rise since girls make the same mistake) would have been reasonably rapid —say in arithmetical progression rather than in geo­ metrical.. Meteoric flights are uncommon. But here he would be—in a position where Ambition can have free rein without bringing him to grief. MAKING THE BEST OF A BAD JOB True the work this graduate does is honorable enough. But there is nothing uplifting about it. It is monotonous. His bank account does not increase as he thought it would. A gulf seems to lay between him and his old associates who have gone on—who have completed their education. He has allowned his to de­ teriorate. He has hot kept it fresh. He does good work. His conscience and character force him to give his employer the best that is in him. But his employer knows his work as coming under a certain classifica­ tion and being worth a certain value and no more. He sees his employer once a week or possibly only once a year. BUT IN HIS EMPLOYER’S OFFICE The President of the firm knows the work his Pri­ vate Secretary, Sales Manager, Advertising Manager, Office Manager, Auditors, Stenographers and Clerks are doing. He knows the office boy better than he knows the high school graduate wc have spoken of— the fellow who might have joined his office force. He takes a fatherly -interest in the office boy.

ITEMS • At a reeent meeting in Woodland, a paper, on the subject, Is Prohibition Beneficial, was read by the anther, Mias Myrtle Walker, of Woodland township, who received a fountain pea as a prize for the best paper, from the Michigan Farmer. The article is as follows: The national prohibition law, the eighteenth amendment to our con­ stitution, is the most widely discussed, and most frequently broken of any of oar national lawn. It governs parties and every leading political man takes a stand for or against it. It was agi­ tated for years before it became a law, and some still question its con­ stitutionality. And what is this law, that it should be the basis of so mneh discussion! Briefly, it is a law forbidding any in­ dividual to imbibe intoxicating liquor, manufacture it for the above purpose, or sell it for thia purpose. Any per­ son who violates this law is tried and punished according to the discretion of the court. Now, many conscientious, wellmeaning citizens, and a great many more who arc merely selfish and have private gains in view, maintain that it docs not benefit the general public and that it interferea with the per­ sonal rights of the individual. They say that when sueh laws are made and declared constitutional, that the safe­ guards to personal liberty, created by our forefathers, are undermined and personal liberty is in danger of extinc­ tion. This may be all right in some cases, but it does not apply here. For, when an individual ean no long­ er control himself, he mnat be ton? ■ trolled by outside influence for the good of himself and associates. Many families would be penniless if it were not for this law, for many men, who, when they have the opportunity, im­ bibe strong liquors and spend their earnings, have families that suffer in consequence. Now, this is neither fair to them nor their families. When the temptation is removed, they will pro­ vide for their families, and all persons concerned will be happier. This brings up another point, the benefit that an individual receives from imbibing intoxicating liquor. Un­ til recently, it was the universal opin­ ion that liquor was a drink that strengthened and assisted the body. It was thought a person could think bet­ ter, work harder, and resist disease better, by imbibing liquor, in limited quantities. Science has proven the contrary. It weakens the mind, dulls the conscience and weakens the body, physically. So why, unee it does harm instead of good, should an individual be per­ mitted to imbibe it! He spends his money to the detriment of himself and other individuals with whom he is associated. Deeidely, it should not be permitted, and the manufacture or sale of intoxicants should be forbid­ den, for the benefit of nil. Then, there is another phase. The safety of the public must be consid­ ered and how safe would a person be on the publie highway, in this age of motor vehicles,"If liquor was noldf Wc hear of enough accidents, when the drivers are sober, how much great­ er thia would be if the greater portion were under the Influence of liquor. Moat assuredly, it could not be if life is considered very precious. We hear many Individuals aay that the higher officials and the rich have liquors of different kinds, while the public do not. This la greatly exagger­ ated, but even if it is not, the whole public need not suffer because of a few. The general public is benefited and that should be the object of all laws.—Myrtle E.

It is exclusive to Hudson and Essex. Everyone knows it gives highest closed car value. And because no other type of car shares its position it is the largest sell­ ing 6-cylinder closed car in the world. ESSEX SIX . COACH $1000 Genuine Balloon Tires Enhance World's Greatest Value Naturally when balloon tiros had es­ tablished their superiority Hudson and Essex would adopt them. They are now standard equipment. They add an even greater measure of riding ease, steadiness and good looks to the nota­ ble values of the Coach. In workmanship, materials and design both Hudson and Essex are of one quality—built in the tame factories, under the same patents. Your choice price you want to pay. You see the coach everywhere in In­ creasing numbers. Everyone wants closed car oomforts. They will no long­ er accept half-utility when all-year use­ fulness and comforts cost no more in the Coach. Consider how the growing trend, to closed cars affects resale values. The diminishing demand for open earn means far faster depredation in that type. As the wanted type, the Coach maintains exceptionally high resale value. HUDSON SUPER-SIX COACH *1500 Freight and Tax Extra So Why Buy an Open Car? JOHN WOLFE AUTO CO Hat tings, Mich.

Placed his daughter and her hus­ band on farm at marriage In 1917 The young man raised fine crops, but gave up the farm because each year brought more debt On/April 24th. 1924. Mr. Tusslng wrote a public letter on the farm problem and Its neglect by the na­ tional congress. April SO, 1924, be wrote his views in his campaign platform, which Michigan politicians criticised. August M. 1994. hie committee published in the Grange Patron fall assertion that the farmer Is dis criminated against by our national policy of economics. Dp to that time farm relief met no encouragement at Washington, and the keynoter at the Michigan State Convention denied that there Is a serious farm problem. la It significant that President Coolidge Is now saying the same things in his statements that Mr. Tusslng wrote earlier, and declares there is urgent need of a changed national policy for the farmers? Conclusion: The president, also reared a farmer, whose father is still a fanner, knows more of the farm problems than some Michi­ gan politicians. Mr. Tusslng Not Merely An Aimless Candidate Booking Promotion. He has an Ideal to which his life has boon dedicated for many years. He has a message for the farmer. He believes this question invites the study of men who are cap­ able of bringing things to pass. He resolved long before his candi­ dacy to make thia problem an Is­ sue In his .’Ife. Mr. Tusslng has succeeded along several lines far Beyond his orig­ inal hopes. He can be trusted with national problems that involve the common people. He has fought for the people's Interests in his home city, where he has been test­ ed by the offer of money and hon­ or. but couldn't be tempted. He stands firmly for all other Repub­ lican issues set forth In his plat­ form. (Thia ad. contributed by Dry Voters Association. Lansing. Mich.) DR. E. J.

Thia Trunk Line alone will bring at least $300,000.00 of State and Federal money Into Barry County, and provide an outlet for a section of the county that badly needs It. I did as much as .my member of the legislature could to pass a gaso­ line tax; voted and worked for a State Income Tax; introduced the trot bill that wai ever directed to limiting the tax on real estate in Michi­ gan. I voted against nearly every bill increasing the salaries of State Officials, including salaries of legislators; helped to pass legislation ad­ vocated by Grange and Fann organisations. When I went to the legislature it was with the firm determination to reduce State Taxes on real estate, and that very thing has been accomplished. Over 16.000.000.00 reduction ha* been made since that data, and still further reductions can be made without crippling our State Institutions.

DRESSED FISH Paid $288.50 Fines and (Josts —Fish Given to Pennock Hospital All real fishermen will be pleased with the excellent work being doo* by Deputy Game and Fish Wardens Millenbarber and Bera in bringing the fish hogs and game law violators to book, and the justices of Barry county are surely giving them stiff fine* that will help them to realise that it is not worth while to override the law. About five o’clock Friday morning the two deputies, together with Deputy Denner of KAlamazoo, were at Gun lake and arrested six men, all from Fort Wayne, Ind., whose names are as fol­ lows: Hall C. Didion, Clem Rieg, Aug­ ust Bans, T. C. Frosch, Charles P. Rossolot and Anton Rieg. This sextette, which was not from Lueia, had come to Gun lake with the idea that they want­ ed to get all the fish that the lake con­ tained evidently, for besides hooka and lines, they put out one thousand feet of set line. When the game wardens pounced on them, they had 150 pounds of fish, dressed and od iee, ready to take back to Fort Wayne, where they ex­ pected to sell them. They had been accumulating this stock for three days and expected to put in Friday and Sat­ urday before their return to Fort Wayn*. They had done this same thing two years ago and three years ago, and had gotten away with it, and had sold their catch to Fort Wayne hotels at 25 cents per pound, so they said. But they didn’t make a get-away this time. They were brought before Justice Sel­ den on Friday morning. Their fish were confiscated and given to Pennock hos­ pital, and each of the sextette was fined $35.00 and aasesacd $4.75 as costs by Justice Selden, following their picas of guilt. The deputies also confiscated their fishing licenses which had cost them $27.00. Resort owners, so it is claimed, are going to go before the legislature next winter and try and have the fishing licenses for persons from other states reduced from $5.00 to $2JX>! With such evidence as this of what a lot of fish hogs really do when they get here, we would say that the legislature would be warranted in prohibiting the.taking of any fish from the waters of this state across the state boundary line, and that the license fee should be increased rather than made smaller. — On I-abor Day, the two deputies cap tured V. E. Reynolds of Bedford, W. Miller, Charles Jones and W. E. Baker of Battle Creek on Bristol lake, and arrested them for having undersized blue gills in their possession. The four were Drought before Justice Belden on September 2 and each given $15.00 fine and $3.95 costs. ' Jerry H. DePung, of Battle Creek, was arrested on Ellis lake in Assyria for having undenized black boss in his enteh, and was brought before Justice John E. Lake, of Nashville, and given $10.00 fine and $3.95 costs. Walter C. French, of Battle CreAk, was arrested on Pleasant lake August 20, for having undenized black bass. He was taken before Justice Peter Leinaar, of Delton, the same day, paid $10,00 fine and $3.95 costs. Lawrence Btrieklen, Arthur Hom and Ward Keeney, all of Charlotte, were arrested on Pleasant lake August 20, for having undersized base, and were taken the same day before Justice Leinaar at Delton, and each were given $10.00 fine and $2.65 costa. Deputies Bera and Millenbacher are to b* credited with the arrest of these violaton, but in two eases they had assistance as we have explained. The total of the fines enumerated above is $320.00 and the coats paid $00.05. This will boost the library fund of the county. NORTHWEST ASSYRIA.

Autos were wait­ ing to convey them to their temporary home*, .and the crowd remained until the last one had departed. If it was * great day for th* youngsters, it was also a great day for St. Johns. The scene attending th* arrival *«’ duplicated two week* later when the time came to sav good-bve, except that it was more sulidued. Bt. John* was lonthc to pert with it* guests, and the children equally reluctant to leave. For them the outing had been almost equiv­ alent to a trip through Fairyland, and was not les* enjoyable to their hosts. One busin«M man of St. Johns took a two weeks’ vacation from the store in order that hr might devote Hs time exclusively to four boys sent to him. He took them on a eamping trip to a nrnroy i**r, ana tnrre incy spent tor entire period, fishing, boating, swimming and having a good time generally. Oh, boy! That was the life; and the days passed all too quickly. The trip home was a memorable one for the guides. Tho children were full of their experience* and all wanted to talk at oner. Tanned, bright-eyed and flushed with the cxcitment of it all. they hopped from their train at their destination and filed through the sta­ tion to the waiting busses where the chatter broke out anew as they were greeted by their relatives. Their va­ cation was over, but the memory of it .... win ______ Hagar _< always. ’------ —---------No one*-knows -------- *•how — far-reaching the good result* of this outing may be. Everyone of the chil­ dren gained in weight during their visit. Pure air and plenty of fresh milk did that, but aside from the purely physical benefits, the moral influence of even a two weeks' stay in that wholesome, rural environment is a product that cannot be measured. The Bt. Johns people, as already in­ dicated, were so well pleased with this year’s experiment that they have expressed a desire to have the children as their guests next year. That is the beginning, at least, toward a permanent program of this sort. Who knows what possibilities the future may hold! We know that those people in Has­ tings and vicinity, who received the Chicago children into their own home*, felt amply repaid for so doing, and will be delighted to know that their example has been of ouch fine service to sixty Detroit children. Among the Chicago children brought to Hasting* at the time when several children from that city were brought here, was a fatherless Italian boy. He was welcomed into a Hastings home, and the folks in that home grew to love him so that they have since adopted him as their own, and are giving him the advantages not only of the High school, but of college, and in return he is showing the finest spirit toward his foster parents, and improving to the utmost the splcDUHhppportunitie* which they are giving him. Thus it seems that in more ways than one thee* visits of underprivileged children from the cities result in good to them beyond what they could have anticipated in some cases. Their hosts, too, have found added joy to their own lives, and in the Hnating* instance we hare meationod, thia adopted son has been n real comfort and help to them and in their home.

While on his eastern trip, Aben John­ son visited the little Vermont town of Plymouth Notch, where President Cool­ idge's father has hi* farm, and where the President was visiting at the time. He says the town would hardly be dignified by that name here. About all there ia to it is a filling station, a country store and a few scattering houses. Mr. Johnson met and conversed withth* President '* father, who is a typical New England Yankee fanner. Ho was shown the back room of the old store building in Plymouth where the President was born, whore the room is main­ tained substantially a* it was when he was ushered into the world. He states that tho President's father is one of those kind, shrewd, far-seeing, deeply religious men, who represent the very beet of the New England type. Mr. Johnson stated that guards were quite plentiful, and that no one could approach very eloee to the house where the President was staying. This eras not dne to any snobbishness of Mr. Coolidge, for he is one of the plainest aad most democratic kind of mi-n, but was due to the precautions which the government insists must be taken to keep some wild-eyed crank from doing the President an injury, or possibly causing hi* death. Needless to add. Mr. Johnson was much impressed with the surroundings under which Calvin Coolidge grew to young manhood, on a rough.

From 8 man raised in such a manner, the country will expect, If be shall be elected, an administration characterized by «oo<l. level-headed common «cnse, and with the stamp of honesty, integ­ rity and high character upon every­ thing that the government may do while under his guidance.

The Japanese beetle “work*” on many different crops, being capable of inflicting severe losses. Fruita, vege­ tables and field crop* are included in the list of plants upon which It feeds. For several years the beetle was eonfined in thia country to sections of New Jersey. It has also been reported in Pennsylvania, while the reeent Mich­ igan report is the first from a western state. Authorities of the U. 8. department of agriculture-who are working on the Japanese beetle problem have been notified by Profeasor Pettit of the Michigan oscurence, and one of the beetle* has been sent east for positive identification.

Polarine will save you gasoline—save a large percentage of repairs—reduce depreciation—and increase the resale value of your equipment Automobile Chart of Recommendations: Thousands of fleet owners, who run taxis, busses or trucks for profit and who must keep accurate detailed operating cost records, pay close attention to lubri­ cation. These business men figure cost of repairs, lost time, cost of fuel and every other item of ex­ pense. The price of oil may be a consideration, nut the efficiency of the lubrication effected is the controlling factor. Because it keeps down all operat­ ing costs, these men use Polarine. Correct lubrication is a prime essential—poor lubrica­ tion is false economy—and particularly so, now when science has perfected Polarine, an oil made in five grades, to meet all conditions. Polarine maintains its body at the operating temper­ ature of your engine. The type of lubrication and cooling system; its piston clearance and general de­ sign, all have been taken into consideration. Consult the chart. The right grade of Polarine spe­ cified for your car will minimize carbon deposit and will form a perfect film between the frictional surfaces film which resists both heat and wear. up with Polarine now.

At the foot of k we took on another engine and ascended 900 feet. The rood curved and doubled back on itself and the view was lovely. We eould look way down in the valley and see the autos crawling up as the road paralleled the tracks. The only cities of any size through which we passed, were Polo Alto and Ban Jose. Arriving in Ran Francisco this morn­ ing, we started out on another sight­ seeing tour. I never saw sneh nice conductor*. They put themselves out to be nice to strangers—not much like Chicago. We visited the home of Adolph Sutro, a multi-millionaire, who allows people to go through bis grounds, and from which you can get a wonderful view along the beaeh. Then to Cliff House and saw the seals asleep on the rock*. This afternoon we found a friend of John's, who used to head a department in Lyon and Healy’s and now has a mnsie store of his own. He seemed glad to see us. Then wo went to China Town. The part of it that is kept for the inspection of the tourist ha* large up-to-date *torcs. We finally got down to the real China Town where they had things to eat that we didn't know the names o^^-egetable* and meats—and where the clerks didn’t understand or speak English. Our hotel is in the part of the eity which was entirely destroyed by an earthquake about seventeen years ngf>. Everyone told us San Francisco was cold and damp, and it's true. John and Marvyn wore their winter coats towards evening. As night come* on there is a mist which is almost too fine to see. but which makes everything seem damp. It’s very hiDy here and ean’t compare with Los Angeles in point of beauty. We wanted to leave Bunday night, but found we eould get only upper berths so will leave Mon­ day. After breakfast we started for Golden Gate Park, four miles square. Wc went through the museum and through the aquarium and raw many interesting things. Ban Francisco is like any other large city. Shouldn’t care to stay here, but would love to live in Hollyood. tomorrow and arrive at 8:40 P. M. It's a two days' trip to Portland. Had to cross the ferry to Oakland where out train was awaiting u*. Met two pleasant ladies on the train, so had a niee time. One lady had lived all along tho coast for tMrty-two years and pointed out all places of interest. We raw the only active volcano in the west, except one in Alaska, and passed through hop fields and rice field*. The only important eity we passed through was Sacramento. No doubt you’ve been reading about the forest fires. We passed through many places where they were. It did seem such a shame to see those Urge trees on fire. Today wo went for a personally conducted trolley ride, shown the pubUe buildings, ete. We made a stop at their' forestry building, which he said was the largest log eabin in the world. Then went to Council Crest, 1200 feet above the city, where we eould see two cities, two rivers and two states—the Columbia and Willamette rivers. Vancouver, Washington and PortUnd, Oregon. It was a two hours’ trip. We left at two P. M. for a tour of the Columbia high­ way In a seven-passenger Hudson ear. As there was ju*t one lady besides our­ selves, we had plenty of room. Saw some beautiful waterfalls, one with a drop of 700 feet and marvelous scenery. Went to Vista House on top of a hill. Down below we could eee the men and horses bringing in the fish in nets. This, as you know, is where they catch m many salmon. We eould see smoke from the forest Are* in many places, nnd the people are getting worried. It’s the dryest year Oregon has had in fifty-live years. In spite of this fact, roses ore blooming everywhere. Port­ land is called the eity of rose*. One farm had 400,000 bushes and trees in blossom. Going baek to the city, we were let off at the. Italian Cafe where we ate a most bountiful dinner. We visited the municipal market, which is five blocks long. Farmers bring in their produce and sell direct to the consumer. Pota­ toes are washed elean; peas are shelled nnd sold in berry boxes; red raspberries and logan berries are ten cents a box; big bUck cherries, ten cents a pound. Other fruits and vegetables are cheap, but oranges and lemons are high ns they don’t grow up here. Unlike Cali­ fornia, the mountains are covered with pine trees and everything is very much greener. One part of this city is re­ stricted to homes only, so they had to build a regular residence for the fire lawn* in front. and at 4:30 tomorrow. This was a very hot trip, being 92, the hottest day in venrs. The whole city wa* filled with smoke, and now the fire is in the eity. Thurston, Mason and Kitsap counties in Washington are ' chiefly affected. The large cities through which we passed were Centralia and Tacoma. All along, the Columbia river was filled with logs and the banks were lined with mills. We got a good view of Mt. Ranier, the highest peak on the eoast. Beattie is built on MH*.

We thought wo might have we only crossed Puget sound nnd some trouble getting over the border, swell. After being nine hours on the' boat, we stopped over one hour at Victoria on Vancouver Island. Every­ one said, "You must rtop off at Victor­ ia; it is so English”. The only thing that looked different to me were the Canadian police with their queer hel­ mets. On our trip around Victoria we passed a private residence where the trees and hedges were trimmed iato shapes of animals of all kinde-beara, rabbits,.roosters, etc. The "Empress of Asia” had just got in (an ocean steamer) and we went down to the dock to see it. Could have gotten a with them. Wo convinced the oflkials however, that are were just tourists and had left Chicago before the law went into effect, so ke raid, "All right”. A girl who sat serous the aisle from us had a dreadful time. He threatened aeroae the road with an American flag on ana poet and a British flag «a the other. At Duluth we went up the inelined railway, which is very steep, then crossed the water on the aerial bridge, the only one of the kind in the Indians, with tbeir heads done up in turbans.

All our readers will con­ gratulate Mr. Frandsen on his success and on the splendid service his store is rendering; for they know that his suc­ cess is deserved; and that his purpose is to efficiently serve this community in the lines of merchandise which he car­ ries. As previously explained, he has as­ sociated with his sou, Einar, who will look after the advertising and accountlag departments and keep a record of the stock and ths stock needs. Mr. Frandsen is devoting his entire time to the developing of the business so as to insure still better service to every customer. MIXED DANCE, lake, Saturday evening, Sept. 20.

Prank Her- There is no finer body of men con­ sidered from any standpoint than the Knights Templar, and Hastings is in­ deed fortunate to be permitted to es­ tablish a commandery here. It is sel­ dom that -places of this size are so favored. It will be remembered that at the reeent Grand Commandery session at Sag­ inaw, a large committee of Hastings and Barry county Masons eame before the Grand officers and Grand lodge, urging them to grant Hastings a Com­ mandery. As they already had up­ wards of 70 petitions for membership in such an organization, and aa there are over 1,000 Masons in good standing in Barry county, there did not appear to be any good reason why the request should not be granted, although it had been declined several times before. Previous to this meeting of the Grand officers and Grand lodge, at Saginaw, a committee representing the Grand officers visited Hastings, studied the situation from the view point of a per­ manent Commandery hero and unani­ mously reported in favor of tho propo­ sition. This special committee to­ gether with the local committee were ablo to induce the Grand Lodge to give this penuiroion. ' Commanderies from at least seven cities and possibly more will be in Has­ tings on September 30, and no doubt many individual members of Commanderics from points whieh eannot be rep­ resented will be here, because it is rec­ ognized that this a really noteworthy affair. It has been declared to be a Field Day, and tho Grand officers will honor this eity with their preseneq.

Johns the other day, Judge Kelly 8. Searl, the judge of that circuit, gave an address on the subject of the proposed state income tax. Judge Scar!, as does the BANNER, favors a state income tax, but finds the proposition aa put up to the voters of this state so grossly unfair and inequitable that he opposes it, and gives very good reasons why every fair-minded citizen should oppose the inequitable proposition which will be put up to the voters of this state, November 4. Wo quote from the St. Johns Republican:— "I believe the proposed state in­ come tax amendment to be voted upon this fall should be defeated,” was the emphatic statment of Judge Kelly 8. Searl to the 8t. Johns Chamber of Commerce Wednesday assembled for its first autumn meeting. ”1 am in favor of a state income tax. I stand ready to vote for one that is safe and sane.

Now, the principle of a build­ ing and loan association is to charge a uniform rate of interest, make all loans on improved real estate, and divide the net earnings or profits among all the members equally in proportion to in­ vestment. The local association affords a safe and desirable place for investment, and offers to the person of moderate income a ehanee to own a home. One who enters an association having for Its mission the systematic saving of so much money periodically, enters a eofraternity in whieh he stands on an equal with every other member. Ha is not a client of an institution, he is part of it; he has a voice and a vote easion requires; he shares ia the whole profits and tho management. As eco­ nomical management benefits the soci­ ety. he helps in the work by taking pride in its success and bringing the association to tho attention of his friend*. The building and loan association plucks at the sleeve of every man, so to speak, and offers him every inducement to save his money, and by saving his money to help him to better things. It follows him up, meets him in the streets and on the cars, and is daily preaching economy to thousands of people.

'AN ECHO FROM LEO­ POLD-LOEB SENTENCE Writing on Pinhoad Now a Young Chicago Bandit Asks for Life Sentence In­ stead of Being Hung An echo of the recent life sentence handed to Leopold and Loeb, the young Chicago murderers, who committed one of the most cowardly and brutal mur­ ders ever known in Chicago, has just shown up in that city. These two young men were the sons of multi-mil­ lionaires and hail had every advantage that wealth can give in the way of edu­ cation and opportunity. But Judge Cavorly, the presiding judge at the Leopold-Loeb trial, in his finding said that it waa very unusual to sentence young men, under 21 years of age, tp the gallows. It happens that another Chicago troy bandit, 19 years of age, and a product of tho alums, killed a Chicago policeman in some attempted burglary. He was found guiltv and sentenced to be hang­ ed—as he should be. Now his attorney comes forth, very properly and justly, and asks that the sentence be changed from hanging to life imprisonment, just as was accorded tho sons of the two millonairos. It has made a very delicate situation. There is no reason why there should be one law for the sons Of the rich and another for the poor lad who has had no chanco in the world. As far as the crimes are concerned we believe the one committed by Leopold and I-oeb to be the more henious. Somehow we have more sympathy for the lad who shoots to kill with the idea of self-preservation than we have for two young men who brutally murder a friend just to experience tho "thrill” of sep^ng him die. though the perpetratratore of both crimes deserve hanging.

It is thought 4hat he grabbed the lines when the horses started and was dragged under the wheels of the wagon, although no one witnessed the accident. He was a brother of Minor King of Freeport, and was well known in that vicinity. Sur­ viving also are the wife and two daugh­ ters. A COMMUNICATION. Not only is it justifiable to tho re­ sort owners of Gun lake but to the non­ resident patrons of these resorts as well, that a correction to a misleading article appearing in last week’s issue of the BANEB bo made. This article, telling of the arrest of some men from Ft. Wayne for viola­ tions of the fishing laws, would lead one to believe these people to be typical of the class of people who come to Gun lake from other states. This is very un­ true, for they are in every way ladies and gentlemen who want in no way to break Michigan laws. I hope tho peo­ ple of Barry county realize the value of the tourist trade and will give uon-rcai- dent as well as resident tourists a hearty welcome. No resort owner of any business abil­ ity whatever is in sympathy with fish ar gamo bogs and it is only through tips given by some one interested that the game wardens are able to make arrests. It is very true the reeort owners of Gun lake.think that tRepresent non-resi­ dent fee for Ashing too high. Our Ash­ ing is not as good as in other statee where the same fee is charged and peo­ ple will go where conditions are bet­ ter. Bring our fishing up to a higher standard and then tho fee will be gladly paid. A Gun Lak* Resort Owner. HOLMES OHUBCH. Mrs. Lizzie Durkee of Woodland is spending a few days with Mr. and Mra. L. N.

Hastings National Bank PhJLaw Hastings, Michigan Means More Money For State to Spend But Does Not Mean Lower Taxes For The People. How Income Taxes Are Passed on to Others "Show me a single instance when a new tax has reduced other and existing taxes,” said Judge Kelly 8. Searl Wed­ nesday in his talk before the St. Johns Chamber of Commerce. Judge Bear! was discussing the proposed income tax amendment to be voted on at the coming November election. The income tax amendment is re­ ported to have been framed by farmers and designed to relieve farmers. But its authors went farther than that. They know that many votes wore need­ ed :from industrial centers and for that reason the amendment provides that no income of lees than >4,000 shall be taxed. On the face of it, this provision looks mighty attractive to 90% of the people because it will place this tax on the other 10%. It is supposed that it will cut down state taxes, because the receipts from the proposed tax are to be applied in lieu of taxes now assessed against general property. Upon first blush, most of us are in­ clined to smile and say wo are for it because it "soaks the rich.” We fail to see that it does not prevent the leg­ islature from continuing to raise as much money as heretofore by a general property tax We overlook the fact that in the past there have been many additional taxes levied and instead of exponsM being lowered, the state gov­ ernment has increased its spending for this and that and the other thing. We hurrah for the new taxes and fail to comprehend that these taxes are large­ ly assessed against products and mer­ chandise which all of us buy and pay for. Wo are all paying these added CUT THEM. ’r That •» but another way of saying that “you can't eat the cake and have it” While the preeeot state administration claims, and has, reduced the direct tax against real estate from about >21,000,000 to >14,000,000, state expenditures have increased. Now get this! The state cannot ■pend money that it does not collect from i|s taxpayers. There is oaly one source of revenue—that is taxes taken from the people. If exorbitant taxes are taken from oae class of people and others are allowed to go tax free, then the taxed class must add that tax to the eort of doing business—that, or go out of burineog, Thiss< and are able to pay. We believe that people who are not making money,and are having a hard time to exist should bo relieved. We also believe that all classes of people, rich and poor, should pay their just share of taxes. The man who makes >1,000 a year should pay his small amount of tax the same as the man who is making >100,000 should pay his large amount. Thia is America. We have no place for class taxation, class legislation, or class distinction. The proposed income tax amendment ia faulty in so many particulars that it should be defeated. A small percentage of the people of the state should not be forced to pay the tax for all. This will result as have other special taxes— it will make tax collectors out of indi­ viduals. The taxed individuals and taxed concerns will simply add the tax to the cost of doing business and the common people and the consumers will pay the tax in the end. Further, the taxed firms cannot be prevented from collecting more in shape of added prices than the tax amounts to. There is no assurance th5T the leg­ islature aad state officials will not con­ tinue to spend as they have in the past —all they now receive and the now tax in addition. Perhaps a little incident related dur­ ing the war by a druggist friend in a nearby town will illustrate how added taxes are passed on to the consumer. An added tax of one-quarter of a eent was put on each cigar. Owing to high costs, 5c cigars had already increased to a "two for 15c” price. The oneSrter cent tax wiped out a portion of profit. Consequently, the ' * two-forfifteen” cigar was given another boost —it was sold for 10c straight The man who bought 100 cigars formerly for >750, was made to pay >10.00 for the same smokes. This is an increase of >2.50. Who got the >2.50 f The gov­ ernment got one-quarter of a cent on each cigar—that amounted to 25c on 100 cigars. The other >2.25 of the >2.50 increase -was added profit for the fal­ lows who sold the weeds. This is a simple but fair example of how increased taxes are passed on to the consumer.

Backward Season Blamed for Conditions Similar to 1S17 Ea.t Lanning, Sept. 15.—The Midiigan corn crop is in a dangerous condi­ tion, with a large percentage of the crop having but little chance of ripen­ ing, according to Prof. J. F. Cox, head of the farm crops department at the Michigan Agricultural College. The most serious side of the situa­ tion, it is said, lies in the possibility of a great shortage of adapted seed for the state’s planting next year, unless fanners make n special effort to field select se«l corn and dry it properly Lateness of planting last spring and the low temperatures of the growing season are given as reasons for the backwardness of the crop, conditions being similar to those of 1917. Ways in which the danger Of a «■<•«! shortage may bo overcome have boon discussed by Professor Cox, briefly ns follows: “Experiments at the Michigan Agri cultural College show that seed of high germination can be secured from corn in the dough, or even in the milk stnge. if it is properly dried in the full before being affected by freezing weather. While best seed results from selecting in the field at the time of maturity, good seed can nevertheless be secured from immature corn if it is immediately dried under conditions where free ven tilation exists. Corn carrying a high moisture content should be dried in an artificially heated room or seed corn drying house with windows or ventila­ tors open. “Good seed corn of adapted varietiee will be exceedingly valuable to Michigan farmers next spring. 8ueh seed can be secured only by selection in the field this fall. It looks os though the disastrous experience of the fall of 1917, which caused a widespread short­ age of seed the following spring, may be repeated this year unless corn grow era in general make special effort to select and cure their seed. The same condition prevails in northern states and throughout the corn-belt. “Supplies of old corn of last year’s crop of good germination, which have been properly stored, should be saved os a source of seed for the next year.” ywdke.

P.BUZZELL&SON MICHIGAN FINE CHAPEL PROGRAM AT HIGH SCHOOL FRIDAY Students From Various Col­ leges Told of Their Varied Experiences At the High school Friday morning a pleasing variety was introduced in the Way of an assembly program, which was directed by-Principal Wallace. Six former graduates of the High school were upon the platform, Miss Agnes Mir­ Sheldon, Miss Jean McKnight, Miss Frances Carrothers, Mr. Orley Bishop, Mr. Colon Sehaibly and Mia* Evelyn Tyden. Miss Tyden, who attended the WardBelmont sehood last year, accompanied at the piano, as she was accustomed to do for a long time in tho High school, while the assembled students sang "America, the Beautiful". Miss Agnes Sheldon gave her exper­ iences as a freshman at Ann Arbor. There wo* surely variety enough to them, ranging all the way from pleasant class room experiences, fine entertain­ ments, the athletic events, and her own experiences in her sorority. Being a freshman, she wa* expected to come in at the back door, of course. But she forgot one day and came In the front door; and for a penalty had to go out and dig up 100 dandelion roots in the lawn. But she intimated that being a freshman at Ann Arbor is not an easy task; for there is work to do and the professors insist that the work be dono and done well if one wants to continue as a student. Of course, she spoke very highly of the university. Miss Jean McKnight, who is a student at the Wisconsin University at Madison, and who will graduate text year, gave her view of college life a* she had found it from her two years at Ward-Belmont and one year at Madison. Based on her experience, she said that every High school student ought to rejoice when she or he had hard tasks assigned to them in the locnl school, because that would be just a fine introduction to what col­ lege would men*—hard tasks and con­ scientious study. She also said that one who went to college should have well defined ideals of life and a well defined program of what he or she wanted to accomplish through the college training. Miss Frances Carrothcrs, who is tak­ ing a musical course at Olivet, gave two fine numbers on the violin, with Mrs. Clark as accompanist on the piano, and was compelled to respond with an en.eore.

He said he believed Albion did not deserve to bo called a small college, because it had ’a conmdcraMe student body and Jhad id its faculty men like Dean Williams, Dr. Whitehouse an(j thc prcj,ident, Dr. Seaton, and Dr. Goodrich, who are strong and capable instructors, who would be a fine addi­ tion to any university. The value of tho small college, he maintained, was that tho student wa* brought into touch with the real heads of departments in the faculty instead of tutor* and rabinstructors. Colon Sehaibly, who graduated with tho 1924 class, could not speak of any college experiences, but spoke of his anticipations of college life. He defined air castles as being largely composed of hot air; ami, therefore, very easily destroyed. He proceeded to build up and destroy several air castles for him­ self in very witty remarks, but said that he had one dream that he hoped to bring true, and that wa* to got the value there was in a college training. — the squirrel knows a thing or two!

H. Conne, Botanical sec­ tion. Blinking smut is h serious disease in the Michigan whoai crop. Each year this smut destroys at least 5 per eent of the crop and does much to reduce the grade of ottf shipments. Smutty wheat brings a poor price nt the ole vator and is not tolerated in the better ;FUr 4 Jopg tinte^tV bask,-treatment forkmut eoatrol coabilhj in the use of:the formaldehyde cither by tho ‘‘soak and skim.*’ taethod or by the ’’sprinkling” method. Those methods arc well known and are effective in smut control. Ia Qwev methods tho grain is either soaked in n weak solu­ tion of formaldehyde, 1 pint to 40 gal­ lons of water, or syrinkied until wet with solution. The tonin is then cov­ ered for two hours, dried and planted. The grain mast be platted at ohce for holding for even a few days greatly lowers tho germination. • All farmers reeognlzo the seriousness of smut, yet nevertheless, treatment be cause of its inconvenience and be cause of the danger to termination, in case the weathef did not peftnit prompt planting, hoa^ot been exten­ sively nsed with wheto. In T919 Darnell-Snuth in Austra^m reported that eopper Carbonate when dusted on Wheat controlled smut. This treatment in­ troduces a new principle in seed treat­ ment, namely, the Use; of a niowly dis­ solving weak fungicide which, by tho persistent action, presents infection, and which by its low sblubility is free from danger to the seed grain.

The Tamarac Ladies' Aid Society was held at Mrs. Tyrrell’s Thursday and B HASTINGS ite alone. ductidn of the smut in the treatment from 26 per cent in untreated to one per etnt in tho eoppet carbonate dust treatments. Methods of Application of Baste The fanner has the ehoiee of either eopper carbonate or the mixture of de­ hydrated copper sulphate and hydrated lime. Tho former seems to be prefer­ able, since it gives better smut control and the disagreeable job of mixing is avoided. The amount used per bushel does not make a great deal of differ­ ence, providing enough is applied, two ounces per bushel is sufficient. A dust (copper carbonate containing gypsum) analysing 18 per cent eopper, gave as good results as a pure copper carbon­ ate dulL analysing approximately 48 per cent eopper. Success of treatment seems to hinge upon thorough coating of the grain with dust. The method the writer employed, that of tumbling the grain over end over, seems to be the surest way to bring about this thorough coating. Prob­ ably with leas severely smutted grain a simple shoveling of the grain over and over with the duet, to secure thorough coating would be satisfactory, but the best results will eome from ex- ( trcmcly thorough beating of the dost into tho groove end other crevices of the grain. For the farmer with 10 acres of wheat, a box or barrel mounted so that it can be rotated, placed so that the grain can be dumped so as to be eon rcniontly sacked, will suffice. About two minutes of tumbling the grain will bring about the dusting. Tho dust ean be measured in a tablespoon, about two heaping tablcspoonfuls being enough for a bushel. Care tn Treatment. The only care that needs to be taken ih treatment is as follows: (1) The copper dust must be finely impalpable powder—free from lumpiness. (2) The copper dusts are poisonous if inhaled in quantity and some simple dust mask should bo used if such grain is treated for smut, or if the work is done in a small room. The qualtity to be applied, tho time of application, the time of planting, ete., are not factors in the dust treatment. The grain ean be treat­ ed at any time and sown at any time. Where the Dust Can Be Obtained. The eopper dusts are sold by the usual agencies. All wholesale drug companies of Michigan, having been in­ formed of the likely demand from farm­ ers, sleek the ehcmieaL Dust should be ordered early, however, to avoid de­ lays. The grain should be treated at once so that it will be ready to plant at the proper time. The cost per buahel of treatment by this method is small and should not be over a few cents. Anyone wishing more information re­ garding this treatment for smut on wheat may call at the County Agent't office, at tho court house. We have some extra bulletins explaining all about it, which wo will gladly give you for the asking. F. W. Bennett, County Agricultural Agent.

GASOLINE CUT THREE CENTS ON FRIDAY Not an Unlucky Day for ▲utojnobiliiti—Price Now IS.6 Oents A few years ago when Ida Tarbell was giving the inside secrete of Stand­ ard Oil, it used to be declared that when John D. Rockefeller gave a princely donation to the Chicago university, it was immediately followed by a rise of t*o eeats a gallon for gasoline and at least one cent foe kerosene and Other jumps in price on the by-products of petroleum. But now that Mr. Rocke­ feller is no longer the ruling power in Standard OU, and when he is not even a director, and is said to have disposed of the most of his holdings in that company, the fluctuating prices of gfiaolino ean hardly be charged to him. There is no doubt that gasoline has been higher al) summer long than the supply on hand or the eost of erode oil warranted. But the people have paid it and rtUl live. It is fine, how... — — .

Whatever prejudice may have been built up through the years against Standard OU, it must be said in fairness to that great corporation that we owe largely to its efforts the methods for the eheap refinement of petroleum and the cheap price at which its products have been sold; and but for the re­ search work carried on by the Stan­ dard Oil Company, the oil wells of tho United States would not begin to supply tho gasoline needed for internal combustion engines. It was the scien­ tists employed by the Standard Company who found a way to nearly fifty per cent of crude oil into gasoline instead of the eld five and eight per cent.

Today Studebaker proves that the highest grade closed car bodies—framed in selected hard woods, cushioned with the best cushion work, upholstered in fine mohair fabrics and fitted with expensive ap­ pointments—can be made and marketed on super­ latively good chassis at moderate prices. This is made possible by the new $10,000,000 Studebaker closed body plants.

The Five 'Neut Duplex Bodies (A new type of car originated by Studebaker to cake the place of the open car) SO ENTIRELY NEW and so different from any other body ever made before that a new name had to be created—the DUPLEX. The upper structure is shaped in pressed steel and covered with the finest water-proof fabric. The steel construction permits the use of another radical Studebaker creation, the new roller enclosing cur­ tains. There is the permanent beauty and durability of the steel top plus the instant convenience of the roller curtains. Thus Studebaker engineers have solved the opendosed car problem. The buyer who wants the airiness and practical convenience of the open car and who also wants the comfort, protection and beauty of the closed car can now get both in one car and at the price of an open One moment the new Studebaker Duplex is a beautiful open car—a touch of the hand to the over­ lapping roller curtains and it ia a snug weather-tight closed cart New Lacquer Finish The Standard Six closed bodies are beautifully finished in semi-glaze, satin lacquer. The hood and lower panels are in light gray, the upper panels in darker gray. Hairline parallel striping in oriental red. Burnished nickel radiators, jet black fenders, light golden finished, natural wood wheels and big balloon tires are contrasting touches. The Standard Duplex Models are finished in glossy jet enamel—lasting, lustrous and wear-resisting.

They fit more closely over the wheels. The rear fenders are long and gracefully curved into the running boards.

Ue ,1m of Michigan’s bean crop this year arc be­ ing revised and greatly reduced by those familiar with bean eoaditions, according to J. F. Cox, professor of farm crops at If. A. C. Adverse sea­ sonal conditions and the presence of blight and anthracnose in state bean fields are reasons given for the lowered estimates. The 1924 Michigan crop has been placed at 5,492,000 bushels in the csti mate of V. H. Church, crops statis­ tician of the state department of agri culture. This is more than a million bushels less than the 1923 crop, but it bi mid probable that a still further, reduetion in the figures will be neeesnary. The crop condition is given ns| 68 per cent, as against an average for the past ten years of 83 per cent at this time. “The lateness of the crop," say* Professor Cox. “disease injury, an 1 weather damage will undoubtedly bring about still further reductions. It is considered a fair estimate to state that the boon crop which will be harvested in the state will not exceed four and one-half million bushels. The condi­ tion of the crop in California is renort cd ns being 60 par cent, and in Colom do 43 per cent. The holdover in the U. 8. from last year is also compare lively small. “With beans bringing a good price, it will pay growers unusually well to take great care in the harvesting in order to prevent weather damag**. It it a known fact that beans will with stand adverse weather to- a remarkable degree as long Q« the plants arc up­ right in the field. The farmer who 'pulls’ a large orca at ono time runs great risk from damage from wet weather while the beans are on the ground. By harvesting in units of sev­ eral acres id a time, when weather con ditions an? 'favorable, this risk can be greatly reduced. If beans are rained upon after pulling, they should be turned daily with a side delivery rake or forked over frequently so ns to cure sufficiently, for stacking, putting in mow, oy threshing. “A.high pick is expected over the entirn 1»cnn area thin year, •hi'.’ to the work tjf anthracnose and blight, and the pjoponce of a largo percentage of immature beans.” SOUTHWEST RUTLAND.

The statesmen whom the world honors, the lej^slaton who solved problems, the ministers who best filled their posts, the monarchs who held the gratitude of nations, live in history for the same qualities that arc shown in prosperous farmers nnd judicious trustees of es­ tate*. Undoubtedly men have won scien­ tific triumphs by ignoring the surface common sense view of matters nnd venturing on speculation. It was a bold speculation that the world was j round and n bolder one that the earth: went round the sun, but in time com­ mon sense fell into line. The art of government does not call for discover­ ies; it calls for honesty, for prudence, for steadfastness, for the homely vir­ tues that keep the rich family from losing a fortune and keep the poor family out of the almshouse. Once in the long annala dt civiliza­ tion a king wrote a book that became a treasure for nil lands. Under the midnight sun, along the equator, in both hemispheres, that book is a com­ mon possession. The Proverb* of Sol­ omon are known and quoted by myr­ iad* whb are not entertained by par* doses or dazzled by fallacies. In his homely sayings the king of Israel em­ bodies the experience of the farmer and the trader, the life of the village nnd the life of the city, the happen­ ing* of the court and the camp. Be­ fore Lincoln spoke of the plain people and before Franklin wrote down Poor Richard'* maxims, before Defoe and before Bunyan, tho power of every-day sense was illuminated by divine inspira­ tion. Nowhere in this country are the Pro­ verb* of Solomon better known than in the old farmhouse* of New England Calvin Coolidge heard them a* a boy and has not forgotten them. «■ Harold Barnum and Miss Dorothy Thompson visited in Battle Creek Sun­ day.

NATIONAL DEBT TO BE WIPED OUT IN 25 YEARS That la Plan Formed by Secre­ tary of Treasury Mellon— Success to Him Tho wisdom of having such a great financial genius ns Secretary of the Treasury Mellon looking after the finances of the United States is becom­ ing more and more apparent an time goes on. That is one of the reasons why the voters of the United States, without regard to party, are coming to feel that it will be wise to continue President Coolidge in office because he will retain the service* of Secretary Mellon. At the present time the expenses of the national government are very heavy, because of the high interest charge, amounting to about $900,000000 a year, and payment* on the prin­ cipal, amounting to well toward one billion a year, on the public debt. It will be impossible to reduce very materially the burden of taxation upon the people of the United States until the public debt can be wiped out. Even if nothing were paid on the prin­ cipal there would still be the heavy interest rate. And it is well under­ stood that unless a public debt is re­ duced, people lose confidence in the financial stability of a government, and that means the rate of interest would become higher instead of lower. The important thing is to have the gpvernment pay its debt as rapidly m To the task of paying and wiping out of the public debt of the United States at m early a date as is reason­ able, Secretary of tho Treasury Mellon ha* set himself, with all tho wonder­ ful financial genius charaeteristie of tho man and with hi* comprehending knowledge of what is involved in such a great problem. Secretary Mellon plans to have tho government debt of the United States completely wiped out within the next 25 year*. Every forward looking Amercian citixen, and everyone who wishes weU to our government, eannot fail to ap­ prove this resolution on the part of Secretary Mellon and to wish him suc­ cess. The voters of America are interested in the success of this plan, and should see to it that the man who is so wisely nlanninff should ■hnnld be b© retained in the th© planning office he has so wisely and eapably filled.

Lightning Loro More men than women are struck by lightning. The cause is not In any physical difference between the sexes; It Is that men, by their nature and habits, are more frequently exposed to the danger. Incidentally, men are abo more liable to lightning strikes I Mich igan Have Dairy Cows If all these cows were of the best grade—all purebred, with a .high milk average—85 £> of the farmers of Michigan would be making money — on their cows at least. But the average cow in Michigan produces only 3,965 lbs. of milk, and here's the reason:— x. ; Example •fNnvIt Worht Mr. Blank, 2 miles west of Blankville, has 4 cows, 3 of them belonging to the first third above mentioned. The other one of the 4 is purebred with a good yield of milk. The first 3 are money losers and it is doubtful if the one good cow can take care of them. When the profit and loss are estimated at the end of a year Mr. Blank draws a blank. Get Rid of the First Third of Money Losing Cows and Michigan farmers will commence to reap a profit from their Dairy Herds. Just now farmers don't need more cows but BETTER COWS. If all the Dairy Cows of Michigan were purebred and belonged to the last third above mentioned the average milk yield in the state would doubtless be more than doubled, and all dairying would be on a profitable footing. MR. FARMER:—Investigate yourcows! Join a Cow Testing Association and find out for yourself just what class your cows are in. You may be sur­ prised to find one of them belongs to the "first third” class. We always stand ready to assist in every way we can to improve your herd. You can bring us MORE milk from the same number of Cows you now have by improving their quality. . . ■. TIC DAIRY PRODUCTS CO HASTINGS, MICHIGAN - Just what the name implies— Style Plus Quality.

Then Fall crock during the spring season was stocked with all kinds of fish. Solomon C. Hall had a yoke of oxen. He would hiteh them to a lumber wagon and the women and children would get aboard with a little brows jug in the back end of the wagon. This jug was labelled “Ikadam Snaps’’. Then they would drive out to where the Cook saw mill used to stand, just south of the present city limits, and there they would chain the oxen to a small tree. Then the men would each take a spear, after duly sampling the brown jug to keep their feet dry while they waded up the creek, and speared fish. They threw the fish out on the bank and the women and children would gather them up in little piles along the bank. When they had caught all they wanted, they all went back to the wagon, where they spread a doth under the trees for lunch, con­ sisting of johnny cake, short cake, eold venbou and crabapple sauce. The men finbhed the contents of the jug after lunch, which was highly eojoyed. Then (ho women, children, fish and the empty jug all put abroad for home. Then someone would start and all joined io and it made the old woods ring. Later time concerts are Bowing wheat end threshing b the order of the day.

SOULLESS CORPORATIONS It goes without saying that a Corporate executor or trustee will render satis­ factorily the business service expected of It. But it i* doubtless often wondered:— Is it possible for a Corporate Eiecutor or Trustee to serve like the departed member of the family concerned would serve. In ether than purely business ways? every real American thrills at wonderful picture has swept the whole wide world! Covered Wagon It is. The success with which it doe* so depends partly on the assistance it has had from the departed member and ha* from the remaining member* of the family—on the attitude of those to be served; more, nn the make-up of the cor­ porate force, on the spirit which dominates th* Corporation. But it is possible; it is more than possible. The Michigan Trust Company’s active force is now composed of 80 men and women, giving their entire time to its service, devoted to such service, and not only willing but anxious to render such non-business service, in the name of the Company and in it* interest as conservator of many family interest*.

Among them are fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, even grandparents—each one with a heart, each one competent to lend a hand in this family non-business service; as occasion arises, to be a fnen<Dy aid and adviser, so far as is desired, in all that con­ cerns widows, children, nephews, nieces, and others interested in the estates in its charge, large and small, Ln matter* of all kinds, financial and otherwise. Such interested persons are urged to make themselves known at its office; they will always be cordially welcomed, will always find new or old friends, to give them information, advice and assistance, patiently. Let the testator do his part in preparing the way; let the remaining members of the family put themselves in the attitude of reception; and The Michigan Trust Company, through the members of its force, will show a spirit of helpfulness and do its part, not only as business manager but as friend. Every member of Ths Michigan Trust Company force expressly and individu­ ally joins in this invitation and statement.

Former Congressman Joseph W.

It will be awkward, but still it is not impossible, that free trade versus Srotcction may once more become the ominant issue of the campaign. At least the dominant issue next to the personality of President Coolidgo, whose rocketion seems to bo demand­ ed spontaneously by an overwhelming majority of tho electorate, not merely as a protectionist but as n very wise man and most capable administrator. It is difficult to nee what other issue the Democrats can pres*. They will not dare press the claim which Candi­ date Davis made prominent in accept­ ing the nomination, that an admini­ stration headed by President Coolidge is, or will be, a corrupt administration. some disposition was shown to make an issue on the immediate entrance of this country into tho League of Nations. There can be no attack on President Coolidge on the question of adhering to the World Court, for the President is a strenuous advocate of that measure. It is difficult to see what important issue other than free trade it will be possible for tho Demo­ crats to press. In that at least they will be consistent, even if their eausc be hopeless. Tho Republican Party will be very much pleased to meet the Democratic brethren on the issue of free trade. For never before was there a time vlhen the benefits of protection were so obvious. Never was our prosperity as compared wiith other nations, so conspicuous as now. Never was the value of protection so clear. Never was the necessity so great that we should adhere to some stable policy in HOPS CENTER. Will Aldrich and wife from Kalama­ zoo visited Mrs. Mina Bagley Sunday.

Today, countless thousands of people are talking about this entirely new-type of car. One moment it is a closed oar—in five sec­ onds it can be transformed into a delightful, airy, open car. But it is, always the closed car in deep soft cushions, beautiful fittings and finish and luxurious riding comforts. When you see it and ride in it you will know why it has made so profound a sen­ sation—you will realize then that it gives you more than the finest open car can ever give you, plus the comfort and protection of the closed car. And all at the price of an open car! And this is the new DUPLEX BODY on the famous Special Six Chassis. Hundreds of thousands of owners all over this country and abroad have given the Studebaker Special Six a name for value, dependability and performance second to do other automobile. The new Studebaker Special Six retains all the qualities which make great reputa­ tion—to these have been added every real improvement which science and owner­ service could suggest. A VALUE POINTS— New Special Six: Tho Now Duplex-Phaeton Vlbrationleii Engine; force­ feed oiling system with naw idea In oil Ripply. Four-Wheel Hydraulic Brake* optional—totally unlike any Even aside from the sensational new DUPLEX BOD Y—the Studebaker Special Six has no superior in value in any car yet built. It was the conscientious intention of Studebaker in planning and designing the new Special Six to make it just such a leader—to that end every resource of the great Studebaker organization has been concentrated. Even if we had the space we could not begin to tell you of the very many new and unusual features which indicate its superiority. —- Certainly no words could do justice to its distinctive beauty. In appearance it is unlike any other American car—yet its long, low, broad, sweeping lines are conservative, crisply stylish and in beautifully good taste. Think of the new Studebaker Special Six Duplex-Phaeton as the ultimate in value and performance in a five-passenger car— think of it as a car matchless in practical convenience and desirability. But to appreciate the sparkling beauty of its totally new lines you must see it To know its perfection of operation and per­ formance you must ride in it and drive it If you have not seen this NEW type car —come today! brother John and family Bunday.

President Coolidge Welcomes Vice-President of the Nation­ al Fraternal Congress TO BE VOTED ON IN MICHIGAN IN NOVEMBER This Is a Matter That Con car ns You, Whether Your Income Is Large or Small 1. The voters of Michigan are interested, far more than they realise, in a proposed amendment to the Michigan constitution to be adopted or rejected at the election tn November. If adopted, it will subject every resident of Michigan having a net income in excess of $4,000, to an annual income tax of from 5% to 10% upon all such net income. This is not only over and above the federal income tax, but with no deduction of such tax before computing this newly proposed tax. It is also over and above, and without deduction at any point, of income taxes imposed by other states applica­ ble to citizens of Michigan whose income is derived from sixth other states. .2. The amendment is launched, under an initiative provision, on the theory that members of the legisla­ ture cannot be trusted, that the whole subject must be placed beyond their control It is an example, with­ out a Precedent in any stale of the Union, of com­ plete distrust m our form of representative govern­ ment. This is not the time or place to discuss the wisdom of the adoption by Michigan of a state income tax system. It is enough at present to discuss this particu­ lar proposed amendment, which cannot be diangcd in a single word before election day in November, and if then adopted, which cannot be changed in any re­ spect without a vote of the people of the State at large. No matter how well the direct legislative representa­ tives of the people, chosen by the voters to serve as such, may be convinced of the importance of some amendment or modification, no matter if all of them vote therefor, no matter bow general the demand for the change, such representatives will have no power tax commission of the necessity of an amendment; it is another thing to convince a majority of all the voters of the state. , Not More Taxes, But More Economy Needed Those who prepared the amendment and got thenecessary signatures to hunch it, speak vaguely of “big business," when endeavoring to justify it. of the difficulty experienced at one or two sessions of the legislature, in getting an income tax adopted against its influence. Perhaps if they had shown in that con­ nection some acquaintance with the experience of other states having state income tax laws, if they had proposed an income tax fair to all concerned, less extreme in its exemptions, in its rates, and in its features of double taxation, less injurious to the state —perhaps if they had taken care to show no selfishness fa their aims, and had been more attentive to those things which preserve the prosperity of the state,— they might not have been defeated in their efforts be­ fore the legislature. They are now proposing to take a short cut, to get the necessary votes in November by an appeal to selfishness and cupidity. Amendments to the coostitution, history shows, have had results quitd unexpected by their promoters. It M not more tax money that Michigan wants, but more ecgpomy m expenditure. to Class Prejudice meto is an appeal to selfish? A whose -income fs less than The idea is that all such per­ sons will vote for the proposed amendment, in the belief that they are putting taxes on others and there­ by benefiting themselves. Perhaps that idea is cor­ rect; but no one who studies the proposition, believes that. There are among those whose income is less than $4,000, many who know what is unfair or un­ wise; who see beyond their noses; who know that all that glitters is not gold; who do some thinking be­ fore they vote; who know that the consumer of all manufactured articles and all agricultural products pays all taxes that enter into the cost of production of such articles; who will think that a new tax of 10% on all those engaged in selling clothing, groceries, bouses, household necessities, etc., will be passed on to buyer*. No farmer, for example, thinks that if a every bushel of wheat or other product he sends to market, he would be the one to stand it finally. 4. If the idea that all with incomes below $4,000 will vote for the amendment, is correct, on the other hand, ft means class against class, which in itself is a bad thing for the State, and which raises a lot of questions. Doubtless some regard one who has an income m excess of $4,000 as a fit subject to tax specially, no matter whether he owns a home or not, nor what is the size of his family, nor how many out­ side of his immediate family he has to support, nor how far be is accustomed to contribute to churches and charitable organizations. In the proposed amend­ ment the single man is treated the same as the man with a large family; the man with a home, the same » a man without a home; the generous man the same ;as the close man; and no distinction is made between i“earned’’ and “unearned” income, which is now an important feature of the federal hw. If the man who is able to manage successfully a large industrial plani amploying a large number of men and who is paid « salary commensurate with his ability, is taxed on ’hat salary in Michigan, and in no other state, at the same rate as the man whose income is derived from wealth accumulated by others,—does anyone believe that the residents of Michigan of small incomes are not affected unfavorably by that state policy? Proposal is Entirely too Arbitrary , 5. It is unAmerican. It did not originate with the chosen representatives of the people, but with selfappointed spokesmen, a coterie of individuals, doubtless well-intentioned, who tell farmers and "workingmen” that it will help them. It is quite apparent from the proposed amendment, as we shall see, that this cot*r*€ has given this big and difficult subject scanty Study, that they are not accustomed to expressing their intentions as accurately as constitutional provisions demand, that the State may suffer from their proposal even though their intentions are honorable. It would be easy to convince any one of them,—assuming he w a fair-minded man,—that it should be changed in this or that particular; but, as stated, a change in a Stogie word u not possible before it is voted upon in Novraber. Every income tax law ever passed, soon needed amendments to prevent evasion and injustice.— and although originally it was the work of the best *7^’ best economic experts. Experience is t?dT’ There ** 00 kind of wh*ch so •tten needs change to prevent evasion and minstir* L- to,hTe heanors Mort * committee, whcrc a11 thc Principal in terestsmay be heard, where errors may be pointe* vt Tk* “ retaliated to produce right results. The way adopted fa this case is without precedent It Work* Injustice and is Unwise J* * tmjust. It is excessive in two important Mrecnon*: X1) Tl* exemptions are excessive, and they will react States that have adopted income taxes, have learned that unless exemptions are very limited, People interested in approprithe result. (2) The percentages are excessive, unpre­ cedentedly so, and will be resented and resisted for that reason particularly. Those who proposed them did not understand their effect . It is unjust because it is severe and is not discrim­ inating. It imposes double taxation. The proposed tax includes income from securities held, and income from all kinds of property, real and personal; but the securities and other property which produce the income are themselves left subject to taxation as real or personal property, as heretofore. (a) Real estate taxes are now taking a large 'part of the net income from real estate; and clapping this proposed income tax on top of real estate taxes, and on top of the federal income tax, is bad business for a lot of people. It certainly means higher rents. (b) The income from municipal bonds, for ex­ ample, held by residents of Michigan, is not taxable under the federal law, but will be under,Shis proposed amendment, no matter from what state the bonds come nor when they were issued, even Michigan municipals. The State of Michigan, and every county, township, city, and school district in the State, when it needs to borrow money, will have to pay a higher rate of interest than heretofore, or sell its bonds outside the State. It will be the only State in the Union so handicapped. Does anyone believe the fanner or the "workingman” will not be affected unfavorably by this? (c) The State has received large sum* paid in lieu of personal property taxes, on mortgages and on bonds. They never produced much tax revenue be­ fore. This additional revenue was clearly the object of the hw. Millions of dollar* of mortgages and bonds hare paid this substitute for a personal tax upon them. Docs any honest man believe it fair for the State to include this proposed income tax on the income from such mortgages and bonds? That would be dishonest on the part of the State; but there is nothing on this subject tn the proposed amendment to provide otherwise. Its language would cover such income. . (d) The income of residents of Michigan from dividends of Michigan corporations, are to be con­ sidered similarly. Under the working of the pro­ posed amendment, such dividends will be taxed the same as any other income. The corporation has to pay all Michigan taxes against corporations before it can declare dividends. Dividends are paid out of the This is the Proposed Amendment Section 8. The legislature shall provide by law a uniform rule of taxation, except on property paying apeclflc taxes, and taxes shall be levied on property as ahall be prescribed by law. (To this point the provision U old. From here on, it la new). The Icgialatare shall provide by law a scheme of taxes upon the Det rains, profits and Incomes of all citisene and inhabitants of thia atate. from whatever source Mid ralna, profits anfi Income* ire derived, which tex *LaU be graduated and progressive a* follow* • There ahall be an exemption of $4,000 per an­ num of all incomes. Incomes of from S4.000 to *20.000 per annum shall be taxed at the rate of 0 per eentum. AU incomes above *20.000 up to and including $40.<X». shall be taxed at the rate of 8 per centum. All Incomes above $40,000 up to and including $80,000, shall be taxed at the rate of 7 per centum. All Incomes above $80,000 and up to and Includ­ ing *80.000, shall be taxed at the rate of 8 per centum. All Incomes above $80,000 up to and including $100,000, ahall be ■ taxed at the rate of 0 per centum. All Incomes above *100,000 shall be taxed at the rate of 10 per centum. The income tax taw, herein authorised shall be administered by a board of state tex commtaalonera. All monies paid to a board of state tex eommtaetoners under the provisions of this amendment ahall be peld into the stats treasury and shall then be credited to the general fund of the atate. and ahall be used for defraying the general expenses of the atate gov­ ernment and for the payment of principal and interest on* state bonds. On or before the fir«t day of September of each yvar.thsaudltor ahall deduct from the total amount directed by the legislature to be Included in the atate ,ax; that rear, the amount of money received under the provisions of this amendment and credited to the general fund of the state for the current year and the balance, if any, shall be deemed to constitute the state tax to be apportioned among the various eountie* of the state in accordance with the provisions of tha vanaral fav law balance it has left. This is double taxation in the case of all residents of Michigan. All that a person would hare to do to escape it is to take up his resi­ dence in some other State, many times only a few miles away. Henry Ford and his family, for example, could by this course escape about $4,000,000 of annual taxes under this amendment. Hi* company, if this amendment applies to corporations, would first pay an annual tax rate of about $4,000,000 thereunder, but that would be followed by another tax oc the divi­ dends thereof, as income, against the family as stock­ holders. Does anyone believe that the farmer and the laborer would not be affected unfavorably by this foolish policy? Treats Resident Stockholders Unfairly (e)From time out of mind, Michigan stocks owned by residents of Michigan, have been non-taxable in Michigan as personal property. Every State follow* the same rule. It is based on the fact that the corpora­ tion itself is taxed on all property in Michigan. This amendment would put an end in effect to that salutary policy, by taxing the income therefrom, consisting of dividends, as well as the corporation itself. It will surely keep industries from locating in Michigan, un­ less their stockholders are non-residents of the State. (f) The drafters of the proposed amendment, overlooked the important difference between normal taxes and surtaxes, which is worked out intelligently in the federal hw, but not given any consideration in the proposed amendment. (g) Wisconsin has had an income tax for many years, and has long recognized the injustice of taxing both the income and .the source of the income, and does not do so. Wisconsin's income tax is now generally accepted there; but ft is felt by many intelligent ob­ servers that Wisconsin industries are suffering from it, that industries are moving to adjacent states, that new enterprises have been deterred from openingin that state. These features of the proposed amendment would surely injure Michigan and its citizens generally. 7. It is without precedent in all the states. 33 states 1iare no income tax at all. A few states have mod­ erate income tax laws. No other state exempts so many citizens. No other state starts at so high a percentage. No other state reaches a percentage so high. Wisconsin, under LaFollette, has been ex­ perimenting with this subject many years. The max­ imum state income tax tliere is six per cent This proposed amendment would make Michigan’s maximum ten per cent. 8. It will seriously affect all churches and char­ itable institutions. It will close some of them. One may be ever so generous to such institutions, his taxes win be computed without any allowance therefor. Under the federal statute, a person has the benefit of charitable contributions, thereby encouraging them. Not so this proposed amendment it will seriously aged other benefactions. A man may have a Urge family and m., b. the sole means of support of any number of other worthy and de­ pendent persons. It would make no difference in th* tax under this amendment * May or May Not Include Michigan Corporation* 9. Most business in Michigan is now done by corporations. The drafter* of the amendment thought they were using words which would make the tax a personal, individual tax; but a* said above, they are not experienced in expressing their intention* in words. A* drawn, it may tax Michigan corporations at the same rate as individuals. It applies to all “citizens and in­ habitants.” There is nothing in the Michigan con­ stitution or laws nuking it clear whether these do or do not include corporations. It is certain that for some purposes corporations. are citizens and this amendment does not say individual citizens and inhabi­ tants. It does not say anything indicating that it is confined to individuals. Religious and charitable cor­ porations are not excepted. The legislature, composed of the chosen representatives of the people for most purposes, cannot interpret the constitution. If within it, all Michigan corporations must pay this tax in additional to a federal tax of 12%%; and this Mich­ igan tax would probably be computed before the de­ duction of the federal tax. « On thc other hand, it is said by some that corpora­ tion* are not covered by this amendment. If so, the effect of it is different; but it is still bad enough. Do you want the corporations exempted from such a tax? That is possible under this amendment. (b) A non-resident corporation doing business in Michigan would clearly not be subject to the proposed tax, even though continuing to do business m Mich­ igan. It is clearly an “inhabitant” of the State in .which it wa* incorporated. Could its Michigan com­ petitors continue to do business? What is to hinder their reincorporating under the laws of another state? (c)The hw surely covers partners and partner­ ships. Do the people want to draw a distinction be­ tween them and corporations, to the disadvantage of the former? Would Cripple Michigan Industries 10. (a) It will be a loss to Michigan, industrially and otherwise Why should an industry be established in Michigan if its tax law against corporations or their resident stockh'olders is unfavorable, when other states impose no such tax? For the same reasons, why should an industry already located in Michigan stay here? There are many states which do not so tax. They are bidding for industries. 10% is a severe tax. It wiU often result in inability to pay dividends, the mainstay of all industries. The dividends when declared will immediately be taxable specially ar in­ come and thereby be substantially reduced. The pro­ posed amendment would make no difference in respect of dividends, for example, which are only 2% of in­ vested capital and those which are 40% thereof. That is not the way to get capital for new or old indus­ tries in Michigan. It would often cripple Michigan industries, by preventing their meeting competition in other states -that treat their industries more favor- Where do income* below $4,000 originate? Do not many depend on thriving Michigan industries? Would Drive People Out of Michigan (b) There are thousands of individuals who now call themsclye* residents of Michigan, but who can just as well call themselves residents of some other state which doe* not tax its citizens both on income and thc source of it. There arc thousands of others who would need only to move * few miles to escape the effect of this proposed amendment. Their declar­ ation as to their residence will determine ft. In this country no taxpayer need submit to excessive or unjust taxation by * state. He can and wiU move him­ self, and if necessary hi* property, out of the rtate. (c) It i* perfectly clear, however, that thi* amendment would not apply to an individual non­ resident of Michigan, even though all hi* income is derived from property in the State of Michigan. People who are hard hit and feel that they are treated unjustly, wiU become non-resident*. WiU Cause Much Litigation Litigation is inevitable. Heretofore income tax laws have been framed and amended *o as to cover the multitude of questions that arise. When the word* are not clear, what is wise and ju*t i* not the deter­ mining factor, but what is the meaning of the words used. Much legislation will be necessary. What ar* “net gains, profits and income"? The Midiigan legisla­ ture has not the power to define a clause in the Michi­ gan constitution and without special constitutional grant it will haVe no such power. Usually "net income" means gross income lest deduction*. But what de­ ductions? The law usually defines them with great particularity; but not *o here. Does income include all dividends, even of corporations which have already paid all the taxes on its property and business? Does it include all interest on mortgages and bonds, even those which have paid the special tax? Does it in­ clude the rental value of a home owned? Does it in­ clude corporations? What corporations? Churches and charitable corporations? What rent paid for a home is a deduction? What depreciation? What proportion of a great number of expenditures usually amortized in annual installments? What contributions to charitable and religious organizations ? A multi­ tude of other questions. Encourage Extravagance 1Z It wiU encourage extravagance in Slate Gov­ ernment. It is proposed to raise millions in additional tax money. No department is put under new limita­ tions. Real estate taxation is not limited; nor per­ sonal property taxes; nor special taxes. The result will inevitably be extravagance in state affair*. Th* majority of the people will presumably not be inter­ ested any longer in economy at Lansing. Enacting tax laws expressly to hit the “rich" is contrary to justice and equity, and any injustice done by a com­ munity alway* rearts on the doers, to their injury. The amendment is a clumsy attempt to cover fa a few words, with few interests represented, a plan that involves a tariety of subjects, that requires many carefully drawn paragraphs to prevent injustice. If the amendment is adopted, it would probably re­ quire 500 new employes of the State to attend to th* handling of these taxes. If a State income tax is what the people of Michigan want, there is • simpler way, • wiser way, a fairer way, • way that will cause less injury to the State, a way fa harmony with the federal law and the needs of the State, a way that can be amended without much delay, in particular* that prove unjust fa practice.

It b an organization of service. — <. When we say that th* Standard Oil Company (Ind­ iana) u an organization of service, we mean much mor* than the every day tangible service rendered our customers through the manufacture, sale and delivery of oil products. “Service’’ b a comprehenriv* term. It mean* anti­ cipating the needs of the public and preparing to supply the*e needs when the demand come*. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) b laboring day after day to widen the sphar* of usefulness occu­ pied by the petroleum industry. It b broadening the fidd of service which oil prod­ ucts offer to humanity. It b extending th* spplicuioa of exact science in thb most fundamental of all modern industries. It carries on continuously a search for knowledge which shall be of value to society. In carrying on thb great work, it calls upon human ability in every fiddj it seizes upon the most daring ideas and labor* to make them practical through un­ ceasing effort. Problems which presented seemingly insuperable dif­ ficulties have been overcome—limitation* which threat­ ened to hamper the devdopment of the industry have been removed. Improvements in refining, marketing and distribu­ tion have been developed, perfected and put into daily operation. Yet, thb b but part of th* great service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Thb generation scarcely can appreciate the role which oil will play in the future. Anticipating the de­ mands which will be made upon it, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) b attracting to it* ranks, men with th* training, knowledge, vision and enthusiasm necew •ary to pioneer in the development of the petrohum industry as it will be tomorrow and in the day* to come. The core of Standard Oil Service b in the keen minds of the men who labor in the laboratory and the workshop—■unseen and unnoted by the public. It b thb past of the organization whkb ha* enabled the Company to render so complete a eenrice to society. Here a host of perplexing problems are taken—prob* leaxs of manufacture, problems of application, and problems of effectiveness—and each b studied, worked upon and salved, that the patrons of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) may get the greatest value for the money they spend.

MICHIGAN. i �NOTICE of 91.OM.Tt principal and ioterest. /K ’s at ■ant dM il S data of thia notice. One of Barry county’s best cooks, when asked why she preferred FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR to all other brands, made this answer: "Because I can get more loaves of bread out of a sack of French’s White Lily and better bread, too, than with other flours." That an­ swer will strike you as giving two very strong and sufficient reasons for her preference. This housewife reached her conclusions from actual results in baking in her own kitchen. We can tell you why she obtained such results: First, we use only the best grade of Michigan wheat. Next, our mill has every appliance known to the art of milling for producing an even, perfect granulation. That permits every particle of the flour to be reached by the leavening in the bread—so it goes farther than other flours. Third, our mill runs night and day the year round, so that, the machinery does not cool down, which insures perfect milling. Fourth, we have the steadiest power known—our own water power. jer in neeswra inreo ta;, .own vne riorin, Be ago Nina Weak Containing in the abova Ninety-four san more or lass.

Out Oct. 33 Well toward a half century’s experience in producing FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR has enabled ueto make a product that sets the pace. More of it is used in Barry county than of all other flours combined. And FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR costs no more than most of the inferior 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.

Eul Lanuiil’, Sept. 22.—Late Blight, a potato disease, has been found in a number of Michigan counties recently by specialists at the Michigan Agricul­ tural College, who blame weather con­ ditions for the outbreak reported. “Late Blight develops most rapidly,” says J. W. Weston, college potato spe­ cialist, “when conditions are moist and humid, and the temperature is around 70 to 72 degrees. Conditions in the next few days will determine the ex­ tent of damage in the state from the disease. “Potatoes which have been seriously injured by the blight should not b* harvested until the afflicted tubers have rotted sufficiently so that they can be detected and will not be harvested with the sound crop, causing the whole mass to rot more or less in storage.” Mr. and Mn. John Weaver went to Alto Sunday to attend the former’s parents’ golden wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mr*. Clarence Kinue took in the Grand Rapids fair Friday and thon went to visit their daughter, Mn.

Naval Dept, has adopted a verv senrible, and a very helpful Naval Reserve plan, that will be most useful to thia country in case we should ever become involved in an­ other war—as we aurcly sometime will, unless there is a complete reversal in tho form of human nature. When the Spanish war came, and when the World war came, it found the United States pitifully unprepared, largely through the efforts of pacifists who “did not raise their boys to be sol­ diers." If we are ever caught in that condition again, we hive no reason to complain if wo get licked—and licked hard. It would eurely be very expen­ sive to be sure, but this country has the money nnd that’s what the other fellows arc after. Wo believe it was Shakespeare who once said in sub­ stance "If a man deceives me once, he is a knave; but if ho deceives me again I am a fpol." This same senti­ ment could well be applied to our na­ tional protection. We have twice been caught unprotected, and wo really de-» serve the stigma of Shakespeare's re­ mark now, saying nothing of being fool­ ed twice in the same manner. After this experience, which cost us billions upon billions of unnecessary dollars, we would have no mason for complaint if war should again find us unprepared. Times change, conditions change, but human nature never. For this reason the recent establishment of a four-yenr Naval Reserve Officer,' Course at 8t. Johns College, Annapolis, should be most heartily approved nnd sanctioned by everyone. The course will be offered during the school year, which will begin Septem­ ber 23, nnd will be given in only one other American institution—George Washington 'University, at Washing­ ton. Arrangcmnts were authorized at a conference attended by representatives of the Navy Department. Dr. Howard L. Hodgkins, dean of George Washing­ ton University, and the following from St. John’s: Dr. Enoch B. Garey, presi­ dent; Dr. Walter B^Agnrd, dean, and Capt. D. M. Garrifcm head of th© de­ partment of mathematics who formerly was hend of the mathematics depart­ ment of the United States Naval Academy. To Follow Army Lines. Tho purpose of the course, according to present plans, is to provide facilities for tho training of naval reserve offi­ cers along lino©- adopted, by the anny in the Reserve'* Officers’ Training Corps. Candidates will be enrolled as midshipmen in the Naval Reserve and at graduation will be commissioned ensigns in the reserve farce. A minimum of three hours of study a week in naval subjects will be re­ quired during tho ilpt year of the course, although’ th4 college will be free to give such an additional amount as they desire. DrJ- Garey eaid con­ siderably more time than this would be devoted to tho course at St. John's. Tho work will be in addition to the regular curriculum followed by candi­ dates for degrees. Liberal credit for work done in naval subjects will bo allowed by the college toward an academic degree The course will be given by a depart ment head and three assistants, to be provided by the Navy Department. The staff will bo chosen from officers at the Naval Academy. Class to Be Limited. This year only member* of the fresh­ man clnss will bo eligible for admit­ tance to the course and the class will be limited to 50 men. During the ex perimentnl stage of the course pro­ vision is made for the consideration of resignations for cause at the end of the first year. A $50 outfit of uniforms will be given by the Government to each stu­ dent for use at drill and during sum­ mer training. Reserve midshipmen during their first year will receive no pay, but they will get tho pay of their grade, $89 a month, during summer training. The N?vy Department is arranging to send students who enroll as reserve midshipmen on the regular summer cruise with midshipmfe from tho Naval Academy. At the end of this year they will be required to take this cruise or one of six weeks duration on ships of the scouting fleet. It is point ed out that tho regular academy cruise, besides familarizing students with navy life, offers exceptional opportun­ ity for world travel. Travel Is Emphasized. The foreign travel element is emphn siaed in particular, nine© it affords an opportunity for students to visit vari­ ous countries in nil parts of the world at no personal expense. The educa­ tional and entertainment value of the trips is held by tho department to bo unexcelled. The cruises are made during the months of June. July nnd August of each year, allowing students the month of September for visits to their homos or for such other purposes as they desire to use It To Get Two Months’ Pay. After graduation and. examination for commission ns ensigns in Class No. 2 of tho Naval Reserve, officers will got two months’ full pay a year and addi­ tional pay at the same rate when on active duty. To obtain this pay offi­ cers must attend 36 drills n year and a 15-day cruise. Those who do not at­ tend drill, but who gp on the cruise, will get 15 days’ pay. That the course to be offered at St. John's will be particularly appealing because of the proximity of the school to the Naval Academy was the opinion expressed by Dr. Garey. “JU I see it," M coaHnuad, "the John’s and at George Washington is a matter of national importahce. Ed­ ucators all over the country should be interested in it and the Navy Depart­ ment should realise in it a great ser­ vice, since it will do the same thing for the navy that has already been done for tho army. Expansion Is Predicted. “That is to say, it will bring the navy close to the people. The army has 150,000 boys in training—the cream of the country. They under­ stand the army's problems and in later life will be in a position to mould pub­ lic opinion'on these very things. They also may play a big part in combating improper influences which arise at times during emergency periods. The navy , needs just that thing and I be­ lieve these courses will answer the problem." Dr. Garey, who fathered the move­ ment and suggested it to the Navy De­ partment for tho first time in 1923, said that if the movement proves suc­ cessful it probably will expand and be introduced into other colleges and uni­ versities in future years. To this end the Navy Department is lending the fullest cooperation for the success of the experimental units, he explained. SOUTH SHULTZ.

Tho Commandaries represented were from Ionia, Charlotte, Nile*, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Marshall, Rturgis nnd Three Rivers. In addition to these, several other commanderies were represented by ono or more members. The local committee of arrangements had made very excellent plans, ao that ns soon as tho Sir Knights arrived, they were escorted or directed to their headquarters. Tho visitors were loud in their praises of the arrangements made for their comfort and their con­ venience, and complimented the local committee very highly. Under the direction of tho commit­ tee on decorations, through the businese men of Hastings the main busi­ ness street was very effectively decor­ ated for tho occasion with flags, bunt- JUDGE DINGMAN ANNULS VEBUICT WOBKOFIZAAK CALLS VERDICT EXCESSIVE AGAINST MILLER AND STRAUSBAUGH WALTONLEAGUE ing, banacn and Knight# Templar emblcms.

An event of uoutual interest and of very great importance to the members of the Reuter family took place at the old home residence on what has been know ns the Johd Reuter farm for many years. This farm ban been owned by the Reuter family for G9 years. Monday, Sept. 29th. was Grandma Reuter’* birthday and a great surprise was planned upon her. Every member of her family nnd their wives nad hus­ bands, consisting of Carrie Veiter of Lowell, George of Fort Recovery, 0., Jacob of Grand Rapids, Libbic Scesc from Freeport, Anna Moore from Free­ port, Adah Hotter from Cleveland, Ohio, and Guv from Fort Recovery, Ohio, assembled at the farm on Sunday morning, Sept. 28th and Grandma was invited out to the farm not knowing that the children were there, nnd a more complete surprise wan never more successfully carried out upon any one. She was almost completely overcome with joy and Grandma was surely very happy nnd grateful to be able to meet and greet all of her children nt her old home. Another joyful greeting was to meet H. J. Dudley of Grand Rapids, an invited guest. Hr. Dudley taught school nt Freeport nnd was a member of the Router family 50 years ngo. About 12 o’clock nil sat flown to an elegant birthday dinner, such n dinner as only expert cooks enn provide. The tables were exquisitely decorated with a profusion of flowers aad the beauty of the tables could hardly be portrayed with words. Another great and one of the greatest attractions was the birth­ day cake with 85 burning candles. This was surely a great joyous event for Grandma Reuter. Grandma received very many valuable presents and re­ minders of her birthday. She still en­ joys good health and her mental fac­ ulties, her hearing and eyesight are very remarkable for a person of such ripe age. She is still very active in work, and takes a keen interest in all the current events and activities of the community and surrounding coun­ try. JUDGE DINGMAN MULSHCI (Continued from page one.) raised by the attorneys for the defense. This he has done with the result stated. The action of Judge Dingman leaves the matter in this position: The Hastings Company can proceed to have a re-trial of the case ns now limited by Judge Dingman if it so de­ sires, or it can begin a new case against the Lapeer Company and its agents, and can now produce n consid­ erable testimony that was not brought out at tho first trio!. Or it enn appeal the case to the Supreme court asking that body to set aside Judge Ding­ man 's ruling that the wise against the Lapeer Co. be dismissed, also that ngaioxt their agents, except Miller and Btrausbaugh. The Windstorm Company and its officials have not decided as yet what they will do. Even if tho cose shall now be dropped they enn feel that they havo won their contention that the ngents of ooo company have no right to dt:nago a rival company by making untruthful and unwarranted statements about it. And tho campaign that was so zealously pushed for a considerable time by agents of the Lapeer comjuiny in switching policies from the Hastings Company to the Lapeer Company will, no doubt, be ended even without further litigation. The suit brought by the Hastings Company has opened the way and established the method by which not anly that company, but every com­ pany nnd every individual, can defend itself against rivals or the agents of rivals who resort to unwarranted and untruthful stories to damage tho busi­ ness of an individual or a corporation. While Miller and Btrausbaugh may es­ cape {laying damages because of tech­ nical points raised by their lawyers, the principle remains that this suit has set tho boundary line beyond which agents must not go.

Ever individual raad every manu­ facturing instilutiqu that could pass this tax which tbe-^tute would levy to his or its patrons, would do it. And so there is nq qiiqigoft. but what a con­ siderable portion of the state expenses would continue to be paid by the people of Michigan. ‘The effect of such a law would be, as we have pointed out, to drive wealthy men out of Michigan, to drive manufacturing out of Michigan, and it would create n feeling in the hearts of the 33,000 that a state that was so un­ fair as to try to make 33,000 of - its citizens bear nil the burden of taxation deserved to be treated just as unfairly in return, and they would find, 'and justify themselves in finding, a way to avoid this tax if possible, and ways can be found for doing it. We believe that the fairest way to support the state of Michigan would be by levying a fair income tax. Wis­ consin begins with an income of $800, with a very low tax on such an income, and increases the percentage of this tax as the incomes are larger, up to a maximum tf six per cent; and there is a feeling that that six per cont is larger than is justified,1 and that a maximum of four per cent would be far wiser and better. Why is not this Wisconsin theory that a man with nn $800 iaeorae owes something to the state which protects his property, a fair view of the matter? Buch a method as that in the state of Michigan would undoubtedly mean that 500,000 people instead of 33,000 would support the state and pay nil its expenses, nnd that could be done with a comparatively low rate of income tax. In apy event, nq matter what type of income tax is oddpted, it ought to *pccifyKtlint if adopted, a levy of any tax upon rerrf estate would thereafter bo forbidden in .-npportiug the state of Michigan. If that is not done, real estate will continue to be taxed as it is now to pay stale expenses.

However, quality of workmanship has not been lost sight of, or correctness of style in the effort to get you coats at popular prices. To quote another customer who bought a coat here this past week: She said that she had shopped for a coat in sev­ eral near-by cities. None of the coats at less than twice the price of the one she bought here would compare with it Such a compliment makes retailing worth while.

BIG CROWDS SEE COV­ ERED WAGON AT STRAND Shows American People Appre­ ciate Something Better Than Sex Plays The tremendous crowds that have at­ tended the Strand while "The Covered Wagon" was being screened in that theater gives the most concrete evi­ dence possible that people do appreci­ ate something besides the usual sex plays and wicked villains with six •hooters aud knives, and enjoy some.thing that portrays the actual rather than the unreal. •/The Covered Wagon" is a portray­ al oi the immease difficulties, trials and hardships encountered by the hardy pioneers #ho settled the Pacific coast states and who, to protect them­ selves from the Indians, had to go in great caravans. About 3,000 people were required to screen this play, and it has been an immense success where ever shown. It is hoped that the time will come when the moving picture will Iw util­ ized in featuring the wonderful things that are happening in the world, -or that havo, happened in tho world, with­ out going out of their way to give sug­ gestive scones and portray things that rannnt but put into the minds of the youth iu particular ideals that arc not of the best.

Mr. 31't’ulln stated that without any kind of ipie.-tiuo, un­ less something is done in Michigan >n the next three or five years, the public will be excluded from the lake shores of practically all the important lakes in Interior Michigan a’ well nR the habitable shores of Lak-- Michigan and Huron. What the Izank Wait' n League is trying to do is to axous- public senti­ ment in Michigan, ns well ns in other stntcs, to tho importance of saving these pleasure grounds so that the common people, who can reach them 1 y automo­ bile in a few hours, Will have some right to enjoy the shores of then- lakes, nnd some places to camp where they can go nnd take their families nnd have a good time.

Oklahoma had become, he raid, deluged with crow-. He stated that there were literally millions of tlumi. They were driving out all tho small birds, destroying th- game birds! like the quail and pnutic chickens nnd other kinds, ns well as helping them­ selves to fanners’ corn and doing oth­ er kinds of damage. The Jznak Web ton Lcaguo ja-titioned the legislature nnd secured nn approprint > -n of $10,000 for ridding the state of these crows. The League then took it ii|M>n them‘ selves to carry out the proposition. ’ Through their members they located the ’ • roosting plnces of the immense flocks . 'of crows. Then when thv-v were Io-’ | rated, they arranged sticks of dynamite!' Iniong fh«* roosting places, which could!be fired by electricity.

(AN EDITORIAL FROM THE DULUTH HERALD WHICH CAN WELL BE APPLIED TO MICHIGAN AND EVERY STATE IN THE UNION) The issue in this presidential campaign is very simple. It is this: Shall America settle down to steady going and regular meals and regular work, growing and building, prosper­ ing and progressing? Or shall it go on a political and economic rampage, imitating, in a milder degree, what has happened in Russia? Shall America get down to brass tacks with Coolidge? Or shall it jazz around with La Follette and his follow­ ing? Can any reasoning American doubt that the way to do that is to get behind the cool, clear, calm and poised lead­ ership of that most sane and sensible American, Calvin Coolidge? Can any reasoning American doubt that following Mr. La Follette is to continue in the hazardous path that leads to heaven knows what lengths of upheaval and disorder? Senator La Follette may not be a Socialist; but every Socialist in the country, every follower of the Marx doc­ trine of the poletariat revolution, is with him. The war brought about a universal upheaval. There was no nation so isolated, no settlement so remote, that it wholly escaped the contagion of disorder. Senator La Follette may not deliberately intend to scrap the existing American system of government and industry, but every advocate of drastic and revolutionary change except a handful of wild-eyed Communists is back of him. What translated itself into chaos in Russia and disorder in the rest of Europe, translated itself in America into the various grades of desperation and radicalism that have centered, in this campaign, upon the candidacy of Mr. La Follette. Americans have no business with these imported doc­ trines of upheaval and revolution, with fantastic schemes of burning down the barn to get rid of the rats. .1 There was a world-wide breaking away from old moor­ ings. There was unrest, unsettlement and upheaval. There was disturbance that ranged all the way from revo­ lution, as in Russia, to mere vague irritation and dissatis­ faction in America. This country, perhaps, was affected least of all, but still it was affected by the same war-produced nervous disor­ der that gave most of Europe a sort of political St. Vitus dance. This disorder is passing. Europe is well on the way toward recovery. The extremists there have shown thinking men and women everywhere the danger of ex­ tremism. In that, at least, they have done humanity a real service. America, too, is getting back to earth. The day for fol­ lowing after strange political gods is, for most Americans, about over. The day of jazz politics and jazz economics is near an end. It is time for America to get down out of the air upon the solid ground and to clear a straight road for progress. The American system, born on American soil and de­ vised and carried on by patriotic American minds and hearts, is capable of any sound improvement, and it is good enough for Americans. • Shall Minnesota, with its rich stake in stable prosperity, with its thousands of comfortable homes in city and coun­ try, with its prosperous business enterprises, small and great, with its people depending for peace and prosperity upon steady profits and regular employment and good wages, run the risk of trying the hazardous enterprises of the miscellaneous cults that surround Mr. La Follette? Or shall Minnesota, confident in his loyalty to the coun­ try and to the best interests of every man, woman and child in America, sure of his devotion to steady and or­ dered and sound progress, follow President Coolidge, the sound, the calm, the righteous, the fair-minded, the just leader whose success in November means the continuance of the best traditions of American progress? Shall Minnesota get down to brass tacks with Cool­ idge? Or shall Minnesota jazz around with La Follette? (Contributed.) �THE HASTINGS BANNER. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 1, 1924 Dr. and Mrs. H. A.

These pens are all high grade Parker pens. I Tho subjects to bo covered in the papers, which are to be written by the students and which shall not exceed I 600 words, will bo plainly described in | a booklet which ill be furnished to each one who wishes to compete, and the method of gaining the information required will also be clearly stated in the booklet. The general plan is to have the student not only look over his, I own home as to its lighting, but also I look over one or two neighboring I homes with tho same idea in mind. It I is well understood that many children hnvo their eye-sight greatly impaired because of improper lighting. That may not be due to a lack of sufficient lighting capacity, but it may be due to the fact thnt the lights in the home are not placed where they will give the most effective and helpful lighting for the occupants of tho home. Wo will not go into details in this matter, because that will all be set forth in the booklet. The teachers will explain the matter fully to the pupils, and the pupils are entitled to get whatever help they can from their parents to aid them in mak­ ing tho best possible papers to be sub­ mitted for the prizes. It is hoped there may be 800 papers at least. These will first be looked over by the teachers, then the best' ones will be selected by the teachers for sub­ mission to tho committee, who will award tho prizes. This committee will examine the best of tho papers submitted by the contestants. It ia probable thnt 100 papers will come to them. The com­ mittee will carefully examine three papers and make their awards, The committee to examine and pass upon these 100 papers and to award the prizes consists of tho following: Mm. N. B. Waterman. Miss Elizabeth Sev­ erance, Mrs. James Ironside and Mrs. W. R. Cook. All will concede that this is an excellent committee. With such an opportunity as this, no doubt there will be a large number of sludants in the schools who will wish fo compete. opena^ dose doors, are snug and comfortable.

Our citizen* certainly appreciate what it has added to the beauty as well m the convenience of living in Ha»Ung» by having the amount of pav­ ing that we have had done by the state of Michigan, because of the fact that six. of the eight city approcefe* are parts of trunk Hne highways, leaving only two, East State Road and North Broadway, to bo pave 1 by the city If East State Road could bo paved next year, the city would necessarily have' to wait severs* 1 years before North Broadway e<ml<l be paved in any one year. It might gn otter it on the piecemeal-plan of . laying n curtain amount each year, so as not to exceed the bonded debt in any one year. The Council is dispoi-e i to make any improvement that cun he made and keep within the bonding limit. It is unfortunate that our city charter, which was made many years ago, hamper* the city in its growth at thi* time; but there is no way to get around it except by amendment to the charter to raise tho bonding "limit, or a now charter, neither of which seems prob­ able. Therefore, tho Council will have to do tho best it ean. LAKE. ODESSA. Miss Myrtle Johnson went to Grand Rapids Monday to be the guest of Mr*. Ernest Wells for a,fc*r Jay*. Miss Dorothy Leak.

Too many countries, of which the United States is a shining example, have stripped the land of its wealth of timber, until today nearly all of tho timber resources are gone. On the other hand Sweden has con­ served her timber by growing it in places where it has been taken off. As a result 52 per cent of tho total land area of Sweden la now covered with timber, despite the fact that for cen­ turies the forests of Sweden have been a regular gold mine. Some idea of the use of timber in Sweden may be gain­ ed by the fact that 60 per cent of her exports consist of lumber, wood pulp, paper and other forest products. Last year these exports amounted to almost $183,000,000. During the past year Sweden shipped afino*: $19,000,000 worth of wood pulp to the United States—made necessary by tho fact that our pulp forests have been about all cut down and not replanted. Sweden is one of the best examples of forest conservation.Ru 1 tho tlnitod States about the poorest. BABBYVILLE Wo enjoy a large attendance at Sun­ day School and church.

Basset says; “One hears a good deal about the iron heel of capitalistic despotism squeezing b'ood profit out of the poor, down-trodden wortyr. But I have yet to discover a company that became really prosperous when operated on the lemon squeezer principle.” The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) long since appreciated the essential value of putting the “right” labor policy into practice. And such a policy is as important to the community as it is to the Company. The only way to achieve a “right” labor policy ia to consider it in its broad aapect as affecting the whole social fabric. Consumers as well as employ­ ers and employes profit by industrial peace. The public as a whole suffers when an industry does not afford economic protection to its workers and their families. The Directors of the Standard Oil Company (Ind­ iana) in every policy they institute, consider all parties involved—consumers, stockholders, work­ ers, and the public as a whole. The keystone of this Company's policy is that all must be benefitted by its existence as an industrial organization. One of the latest plans by which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has recognized the partner­ ship of its workers, is to establish a death benefit plan for the dependents of its employes. It must be clearly recognized that this policy is not a bene­ fit solely to the employes. It benefits, indirectly, every one in the community because it is a forwardlooking, sound, economic measure. A sage summary of the service rendered by this measure is given by the Lapeer, Michigan, Clarion: “The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has insured the lives of its 25,000 employes. The insurance costs the employes nothing. The Company pays the premiums. “Here we have a splendid example of the new spirit which is pervading industry, and which if per­ sisted in must eventually level the barriers that often lie between employer and employe. “There may have been a time when corporations exploited their employes and yielded to them in bet­ ter wages and working conditions only as they were forced to do so. Possibly a number of this type of corporation survives, but they are passing. Mutual distrust and antagonism is giving way to mutual friendliness and cooperation. If a social revolution ever threatened this country, the menace is fading. The ground is too barren. “This single generous act of the Standard OH Company will do more to sweeten the relations be­ tween capital and labor than al! the propaganda in the world."

Aha South- The real facts are: that if that flour, made in another state, is any good at all it is made from wheat grown right here in Michigan. Experience has proven that bread made from spring wheat soon dries out, and becomes hard and unpalatable. On the other hand, experience has shown, and the wheat market proves, that winter wheat grown in Michigan is the BEST IN THE WORLD from which to make flour, because the Michigan wheat always commands the Highest Prices.

The mill is located in the midst of a section that grows the very best grade of wheat and which is delivered to the mill direct without any freight charges. And when it comes to making flour economically and in the best way, we know of no mill that can compare with this one. We run this mill night and day, year in and year out. It only adds a slight amount to our expense, but by doing it we get a 24-Hour Output at practically an 8 or 10-hour-a-day cost. This cuts our general expenses in two.

This sum is paid into the United States Treasury. % Timber sales brought in $3,020,037, and fees for grazing permits brought in $1,915,561. The third highest amount was paid for tho leasing of National Forest land for summer homes and for other purposes, this form of forest use having brought in $207,637. Leases of water power rights brought in $82,915. Miscellan­ eous uses of the National Forests, in­ cluding trespass damages, accounted for the balance. The 17 National Forests in California sold the most timber, with the National Forest* in Washington and Oregon sec­ ond. The National Forests in Utah, Nevada, and southern Idaho geared the most livestock, with the forests in Arizona and Now Mexfco second. Compared with the receipts for the fiical year ending June 30, 1923, the receipts for this past year were $83,915 less, the decrease being caused by tho smaller number of livestock graz­ ing permit* issued for horses, cattle, and sheep.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT WEST OF CITY SATURDAY Jackion Folks Hurt When Oar Overturned—Injured Two Women HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, OCTOBER 8, 1924 PAGES 1 to 8 FOR PENNOCK HOSPITAL LAUNDRY FIRST BROTHERHOOD MONDAY EVE, OCT. 20 The BANNER, last week, acknowl­ edged the receipt of 6517.00, subscribed toward the new laundry for Pennock hospital. We had thought with so good a start that there ought to have been a large number of subscribers this week in recognition of-the really wonderful work which Pennock hospital is doing, in its service to the people of this eity and county. We were greatly disap­ pointed, therefore, when only two sub­ scriptions were handed in to us this week. We sincerely hope and strongly urge that the readers show their deep interest in this fine Barry county phil­ anthropy, by forwarding their sob- scription* or- giving their pledges to Mr. A. K. Frandsen, the chairman of the committee, or directly to the BAN­ NER, which will be acknowledged in either case. It seems a* if there ought to be a flood of oae dollar subscriptions. No person can tell when he or she may have occasion to «k> the hospital facili­ ties of this fine institution, as hundreds have already done. Would not a sub­ scription, of at least one dollar, be a timely recognition of the good this in­ stitution has already done and the greater good it is about to dot Bo far the account stands ns follows: Previously acknowledged 6517.00 Mis* Mary De Lue............... 65.00 Einar Frandsen ....................62.00 Total .................................. 6524.00 A* we have explained before, three gentlemen of this city have pledgee thirty-five hundred dollars for this pro­ ject for the building of tho new -seven thousand dollar laundry, on condition that the other thirty-five hundred be raised by the people of this city and county. With such a splendid start, it seems as if there ought to lie a prompt and generous response by all our city and eonnty readers, to help Pennock hospital. It had outgrown tho old laundry facilities and a new laundry is a necessity. ALDRICH BLAKE HAD PETITIONS FOR CITY AUDIENCE OF 2,500 * THREE AUCTIONS* SUPPORT OF BAND He’s From Oklahoma, Is a Pro­ testant—Strongly OpM posed to the Klan The address last evening by Aldrich Blake, who opposed the Ku Klux Klan, was given at the corner of Chureh and Court streets. It was estimated that 2,500 people heard him. Mr. Blake is rrom Oklahoma, where tho Klan has been very strong, and eut a wide swath for a time. He is a Protestant but is strongly opposed to the Klan. Two years ago, the sheriff and prosecuting attorney in all Okla­ homa counties but three, he said, were Klansmen. All were defeated this year for rcnominaition except in seven coun­ ties of that state! He pointed out how, instead of helping Protestantism, the Klan in Oklahoma had still further divided it, and stated that many Pro­ testant churches had been dosed be­ cause of contentions growing out of the Klan. Instead of harming tho Catholic church in Oklahoma as it had planned, the Klan had strengthened and united Catholics os never before. That is what persecution always does, he said. He told the people that the Klan’s antagonism to negroes in the south had driven nearly a half million black people into the north. Doe* it help the laborers of the north to have to compete with negro labor, ho asked. That is what Klan activities in tho south have done. He held the Klan responsible for much lawlessness and disorder, and that it had utterly failed to carry out it* claim that it favored law and order. He stated that opposition to foreign­ ers was un-American and foolish. Very few of his auditors he said would have to go back more than three or four generations to find that they came from foreign ancestry. We have 15,000,000 foreign born residents in this country, be said. If the Klan should succeed in drvilng all these from in­ dustry and put them out of business, where will they got No place for them except where they came from.

And you ean never Americanize a man by using a club on him. His eloquent appeal for liberty that is real, for justice, for fair play, for openness and not secret organizations to antagonize, will not soon bo forgot­ ten. It wa* a fair, clear-cut, well reasoned appeal for sound sense, justice, a square deal, and a real Americanism in dealing with American issues. "You can never settle them right in secret conclaves when members hide their identity with hoods and shrouds,’’ he said, "That isn’t American, and Amer­ ica will never stand for that method of ruling our nation or deciding polit­ ical issues,” he declared. BAM MARSHALL INJURED. Sam Marshall, a well known citizen of this county, who formerly resided here, but now lives in Nashville, met with a serious accident Saturday after­ noon. He was driving to his farm not far from Nashville, when his teem be­ came frightened, throwing him out and he landed on his head. As Mr. Mar­ shall is quite well along in years, this was a severe shock to him. It is said also that his jaw bone was cracked. He was taken to his home in Nashville where he is as comfortable as could be expected. P. E. MURPHY. Having decided to quit farming P. E. Murphy will have an auction sale on the P. T.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY. Matter Win Be Submitted to Voters at the Spring Election Petitions are in circulation “request­ ing the council to submit to the voters of this elty, next spring, the proposi­ tion of raising one-half mill by tax for the support of a city band. This would raise twenty-six hundred dollars. That seems like a large sum, but if one will think it through they wll see that it is not. If musicians furnish their own instruments, they feel that they ought to bo compensated for the time required for practice. Nearly all of the men are working men and feel that after they have worked hard all dav, it is unfair to ask them to give their time for the purpose of furnishing community entertainment without any compensation. This would take a dollar each, for the twenty-five members of the band, for practice nights, and for band concerts three dcdlars each. We have not space to discuss the merit* of this matter thi* week, but wo aak our city readers to think it over. Hastings ought to have a band, but it cannot be maintained without help. The only way in which it can be done is to have it done as a community matter. IONIA GOLFERS WERE HERE SATURDAY And Defeated Members of the Local Country Club by the Score of 14 to 11 JOHN M. GOULD.

The visitors were very much im­ pressed with the grounds here, and es­ pecially tho beautiful Country Club building, and the great improvement of the grounds this year over what they were last year. The visitors were all a splendid bunch of fellows, good sports, and surely were worthy opponents. Luncheon was serv­ ed for the visitors at the Country Club at noon and dinner in the evening at the conclusion of play, Mrs. Ida Wood catering. It was a most enjoyable af­ ternoon and evening and it is hoped and expected that those very pleasant inter-city meets will be continued, as they doubtless will. A OAUTION. Farmers and all others with horsedrawn rigs, upon the public highway after dark, should comply with the state law, and display lights upon both front and rear of their rigs. This is the state law, and should rigidly be complied with to prevent being smash­ ed into by automobiles. If you do not display lights upon your rigs you can­ not collect any damages from anyone running into you. More than that you can be held responsible for any dam­ ages that may happen to other people. Displaying lights is wholly for your protection. Of lata several ncar-accidents have been reported to this office by reason of no lights being displayed on horse drawn rigs. Kindly give this your immediate attention and save yourself harm and liability for injury to others. Chas. A. Parker, —Adv. Sheriff Barry County. The new pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, of this city, Rev. R.

Politics cut no figure when an attempt is made to create prejudice by tho circulation of falsehoods. Over in Castleton township, it was claimed that Sheriff Parker belonged to the ehurch against which the Rim is most strenuously opposed. The in­ tent of this story is plain. It was started to create prejudice against Mr. Parker. Mr. Parker is not a mem­ ber of that church and belongs to no churoh. Mrs. Parker is a nwmhir of a branch of the Protestant church. We believe that we are warranted in saying that if all Protestant ehurehec would cut out all their creeds and would unite on one creed of loving God with all the heart and loving and serving one's fellow-men, that Sheriff Parker would be glad to join such a ehureh. What we have teen of him makes us believe that he tries to give a square deal to everybody. We are sure that Sheriff Parker's republican opponent, Nelson Willison, would be one of tho first to repudiate this foolish story started against Mr. Parker. Mr. Willison is above auch contemptible political tactic*. He ia an honorable man, and unleu he ean win honorably, we know he would pre­ fer to be defeated. We know that ia the poaition that Mr. Parker would take toward Mr. Willison. They are two mighty good men. Either one will make an excellent sheriff. There is no sense in starting stories about either. The other story that has come to our notice affects Judge of Probate Eggle­ ston.

MJILSfflO MUCH MPROVED FOREIGNERS ARE LARGEST PATRONS OF POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS OVER THIRTY MILLIONS SERVED ON R. F, D. ROUTES Introduction of Airplane Serv­ ice Wonderful Benefit to Alaska From a recent report made to the postmasters of this country by Post­ master General New, there arc some facts brought out with regard to the postal service of thi* country that we aro sure will interest our readers. Tho employee* of the Post Office De­ partment, including those connected with its service by contract, number 353,831. This makes it ono of the larg­ est burincss institution* of the.country. Tho receipts for the year ending June 30, 1924, reach the sum of 6572,000,000. . During the year new carrier service has been established in 104 villages and new city service in 164 small cities. In the post three years in rural districts there have been added 1,008 rural routes. At the present time tho number of families served by rural routes is 6,534,960, and the total people served by rural carriers is 30,600^816. During the past year daily air mail service has been established on a route from New York to Ban Franqisco. The postage paid by the public is 8 cents per ounce for each of the three ounces. There is an every day schedule, includ­ ing Bundays and holidays, and the time consumed for thi trip is 34 hours and 45 minutes going west, and 31 hours and 35 minutes coming east. New sir mail stamps of 8c, 16c, 24c, have been issued. The value of thia service to the public and to tho development of tho science of aeronautics is -readily a6en and surely appreciated by the public. Airplane service was established and run as an experiment in Alaska, cov­ ering a route from -Fairbanks to Mc­ Grath, which ordinarily takes the dog sleds 35 days in each direction. Larger cargoes of mail were carried than pos­ sible to accommodate in the dog sleds, and tho round trip was made in one day, going out in tho morning and baek in the evening. The outcome of this experiment will undoubtedly bo a largo application of airplane service in the postal service to Alaska. In Alaska there aro 68 dog routes, which aro run in relays!, and employ 3,000 dogs. The railway mail service has been Continued on page two.

WILL MAKE LONG TRIP BY AUTOMOBILE ALL THE SCHOOLS OF THIS DISTRICT HAVE ENTERED THE CONTEST PRIZES NOW ON DISPLAY IN HASTINGS STORES Big National Prizes Also Open to Competition in Local Schools Plana arc maturing for the contest that ia being put on in tho publie schools of thia city, as well as in other places in the country, to help promote tho proposition of securing better lighting for home*. The manutiicturer* and dealers ia electrical gootls as well as the com­ panies which supply electric current to customers have nil uniter] in an effort to get better lighting in the homes of the American people. They are commencing at the right place, be­ ginning with the pupils in the publie schools, and getting them interested in understanding the difference be­ tween 'a well and poorly lighted room or home, and how lighting de­ vices should be placed in order to secure the beat possible lighting in a home, The next step ia to have these pupils look carefully over their own homes and observe closely how they arc lighted and they aro expected also to visit the homes of two or three of their neighbors to carry on the same sort of a study. The promoters of the contest furnish them with a primer which states the whole prob­ lem of lighting, simply and under­ standably, and also gives them the rules that will govern the contest. Then the pupils are expected to write a paper of not exceeding six hundred words in which they will plainly state their views on the question of lighting. They will also be given pictures of rooms, also pictures of lighting fix­ tures, and will be asked to place these fixture* in the rooms where they will give the most effective lighting. One of the main reasons fur this campaign is the fact that the eyesight of so many pupils in the public schools has been found to have been impaired by defective lighting in the home. It is expected by this campaign to ac­ complish very much in remedying this condition, so that not so much injury will be done by defective lighting in the homes of this country. This big national organization has offered a series of prizes that can not fail to interest the boys and girls of Hastings as well as all other parte ef the country. As will be seen below many of the prize* are local. This contest is country wide and began October 1st and will close October 31st. The chief prize will be a brand new home, costing fifteen thousand (Continued on gage two.) MISS OLGA BESSMER MARRIED SATURDAY EVE Sprang Surprise on Her Many friends When She Wai Wed­ ded to Mr. Gaisins Knight The marriage of Miss Olga Besnier to Mr. Arthur Cassius Knight on Satur­ day evening, Oct. 4th, came as a great surprise to her many friends here. Miss Bessmer had recently resigned her position with Pancoast and Noble* ostensibly to take a trip south this winter with friends, but the ultimate motive baek of her plans had been cleverly concealed. The ceremony was performed Satur­ day evening by Rev. Kilmer of the Presbyterian church at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hilton on Jef­ ferson street. Mr. and Mrs. Knight left by automobile early Monday morn­ ing to join Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, of the well known Hunt Stock company, and other members of tho troupe at 8t. Louis, Mo., where they will begin their winter trip through the southern re­ sorts. Mr. Knight, who resided in Hastings some thirty or more years ago for a short time, is well known here. He has the comedian role* with the Hunt company and is very popular with the members of the company and its pa­ trons. Mrs. Knight has been a life­ long resident of Hastings, a graduate of Hastings High, active in business circle* for many yean and associated with local charities and County Home work to an extent that will make her greatly missed. It will be pleasing news to Mr. and Mn. Knight’s friends that they plan to •pond a part of each year’s vaeatioa period in our city. They are followed by the best wishes of all. THEY INVITE YOU.

Williamson was first among nil Contestants in Jerseys ns well as winning the all-around rib­ bon. Other members of the victorious team were placed high enough in the' different classes to bring the team in first. The team Was number one in the! Jersey and Guernsey classes nnd sixth in Holstein judging, ranking somewhat lower with the Ayrshire*, the fourth breed in the MBtot. The team and the different individ­ uals won a long li-tt of trophies for their performance, cups, plaques, stat­ ues and other awards being included: Williamson also brought hack the $400 scholarship offered by the American Jersey Cattle Club fur best judging in the breed. The Michigan Club Boys dairy judg­ ing team, while nut so successful as the college outfit, finished seventh a among more than twenty entrants. J. E. Burnett, of the M. A. C. dairy , department, coached the college team and accompanied it to Milwaukee, while Nevels Pearson of the state Boys and Girls Club staff, handled the club judges. l nt Fall Frocks That Are Different New Materials Flannels for sport wear; pencil striped serges and poiret twills for more tailored attire. Pencil striped serges, without a doubt, are the best thing for fall—it’s this season’s material. Correct Styles The narrow tube, the wide circular effect are those most widely seen. The idea is to give trim­ ness and slimness to the figure. Buttons are the most widely used trimming medium. Braid, both the color of the material and of gay colors is widely used. These Are Frocks of JJnusual Value Due to the extreme good‘fortune of getting two sample lines, the dresses can be priced unusually low. Their prices fall far short of giving their real dollar and cents value.

He Bank of Personal Service Hastings City Bank FS& HASTINGS RATIONAL PICTURE WEEK OCTOBER 13-23 National Picture Week, the great annual Feast of Hetures, will be cele­ brated this year October 13 to 23. Its observance is for the sake of stimulat­ ing appreciation of good picture*, and indicating their importance in beauti­ fying the home and bringing joy to the individual. The celebration of Pieutre Week is under tho auspices of the American Xrt Bureau. an organization devoted to promotion of art* in tho public school and the home. This association has done much to tell the public of the great variety of excellent reprodue-lions of classics and modern paintings which are available at reasonable prices, and to indicate to home furn­ ishers the place that good pictures have in those homes which express benuty and culture. The work of the Amer­ ican Art Bureau has the endorsement of edneators, museums of art, women’s dubs and libraries. It’s headquarters are at 16G West Jaekson Boulevard, Chicago. Because children, especially, love -pictures, the observance of National Picture Week in the schools and librar­ ies of the country in most appropriate. This annual emphasis placed upon the importance of good pictures docs its part to help form the taste of growing children for art, and gives additional impetus to the year-around study of pictures, which is part of the program of progressive schools. Borne of the suggestions offered for observing this Feast of Pictures are given here: Releet a fine picture each day of the week for study (original or reproduc­ tion). Look up material on artist, his time and country, nnd if a reproduc­ tion, the location of the original of this painting. List the fine pictures in the school. Study and discuss them. Last the fine picture! in the home, arad study them. Select a well known American ................ artist for study for the week. Have a picture exhibit in each room, or in the school. For this, eall on local > e.labs to help, and ask the dealers of the eity to loan picture* or have an,exhibit in re. picture galleries or see library »» of prints.

According to official reports from South Bend the new Studebaker models announced Sept. 14 have made a de­ cided popular hit, the sincerity of which is being evidenced in a steady increase in orders. The new type car, called tho Duplex, which takes »thc place of the customary open car, is proving especially popular everywhere. The Duplex has an all. steel body, which, by e very unusual roller side enclosure, can be converted into an en­ closed ear in half a minute by drawing down the roller side enclosures. The steel upper structure of the body is made strong enough to mount the rug­ ged steel rollers and room is provided to conceal them when they are rolled np. This new type car is as snug and comfortable as any enclosed ear when the enclosures arc rolled down and fastened—and of course open car airi­ ness and freedom are obtained when the enclosures arc rolled into the roof. At this season of the year a car which combines both open car nnd enclosed car double service is especially popu­ lar. Tho price is no higher than that of the former open car. Handsome Closed Car*. There is also a complete variety of unusually handsome closed cars includ­ ing five and seven passenger sedans; three, four and five passetiger coupes, and three bcrline type bodies. It is interesting to note that all the new duplex and closed models carry a plate stating that the "bodies are by Studebaker.’’. This is the |lr*t year that the new 910,000,000 closed body plants are pro­ ducing all of Studebaker’s closed bodlee.

A heavy engine wears out the batteries, just as it would wear out your patience and your strength should you try to turn it over with a crank. It is not so far-fetched as it may seem, to compare engine mechanism with human mechanism. Every one who drives has remarked the individuality and responsiveness, or lack of it, in the temperature and bums completely to the end of the piston stroke. It relieves the strain on your starting motor and batteries. This is one of the many economy features in Red Crown. Red Crown makes batteries last longer and give better service. The "satisfaction” service of Red Crown lies in your thrill at the ready response when you touch the starting motor—at the flexibility of your engine and the steady flow of sustained pulling power. Satisfaction Plus Economy—in this un­ usual combination lies the true reason for Red Crown popularity. And remem­ ber tins: permanent satisfaction in a gasoline lies in never changing. Use Red Crown all the time. It’s easy to do so, for Red Crown distribution is nearly 100% perfect You can find it everywhere and everywhere the same.

And the following Filling Station* A Under our primary system the people of Michigan nominated James Couxens of Detroit, United State* senator, Gov. A. J. Groesbeck for a third term for governor and George Welch for lieu­ tenant governor. Groesbeck "had a phenomenal majority in the primary. Couxens had fifty thousand plurality and Welch a less plurality. Thousands of Democrats called for Republican ballots in the primary and helped to make these nomination.". Under our primary lftW there is nothing to pre­ vent men of one party going into tho primary and calling for the ballots of another party and help nominate their candidate*. If there is dissatisfaction over the candidate* chosen by this method, the only way to correct sueh practices is to have the law amended and a party registration which will prevent members of one party inter­ fering with the nomination of candi­ dates of another party. This was the law in Michigan at one time. It was repealed and later again passed and vetoed by Governor Groesbeck. If only Republicans had been permitted to vote for the nomination of Republi­ can candidate*, the result might, or might not, have been the snmc, but it is manifestly unfair to permit one party to take part in the nonynntion of the candidates of another party. If the people are satisfied with the work­ ings of the present primary law, there is nothing mom to be said. If they nre not satisfied, they should got after their members of the legislature and have the law amended. ’AY, OCTOBER 8. 1924 OQAH OSOTE We were much have Bro. Wing with u» Sundoy «d preeh for u..

Tho convention opened Friday morning- at 9:45 with Mrs. Bush, president, presiding. The song service was led by Rev. J. W. Sheehan of Niles followed by his first of a series of addresses on the Bible and its use in the Bible School. Wo must stick to the teachings of the Bible in our classes or we will degen­ erate into a class of pagans. We can­ not have a warless world until we get a Christlike world. Put the Bible in every school room and get it into the hearts of youths. There is just one way to aave America, and that is by this Book. There is no help for us but through God. He works through or­ ganism. not organization. Wo can only give a small idea of the good, sound truths which we heard from Rev. Sheehan in his addresses. Everyone who stayed at home missed at least five good sermons. E. K. Mohr’s addresses on Religious Organization and Evangelistic Empha­ sis were closely hinged on each other. He quoted Roger Babson, who said.” In business it is not profits or materia), but the soul of tho man that counts.” Civilization cannot survive materially unless revived spiritually. We must either spend our money to give our boya and girls a religious education, or save it for war taxes. Jesus said, “Go teach”. This text ia the heart of the Christian life. We must go teach if the church is to live. The spiritual church is the teaching church. He gave us this goal for tho coming yjact. 1. Every boy and girl in day school in Bunday School. 2. All the church there. 3. All with Bibles of their own. 4. All community in the service. 5. All officers and teachers trained. 6. Management of school business­ like. ' 7. World service program. Wo serve best when we enjoy the work. We can be happy in this work if we will. If you want to be happy, look up. Miss Rockcnbach talked of “The Men and Women of Tomorrow.” Each child has a right to be well bom: the right to play; the right to a good 'education; the right to a'religious at’inasphcrc in the home. We should teach the child religion at home. To do tnis we must know the Bible. All children love the beautiful, and good in nature if you teach them how, and so they will love the Bible storie* if we teach them to the children. We must know the child and then we will know how to teach. Revs. Knrl Keefer and F. E. Putman told what they expected of the Sunday School, and wo learned that the city pastor expects the same of his schools as the country pastor doos of ns. The Sunday School is the place to train boys and girls for the future ehureh. Create Godliness in the Sunday School; lead the boys and girls to co-operate with the church. Show them that we are teaching them and working with them, because we love to and not be­ cause we have to. Miss Shorter explained the work in the Vacation Bible School, and all who hoard it knew it was a great work. We ean teach more Bible in two weeks in Vacation Bible School than in a year in Bunday School, and ehildren like it because they are doing something all the time. They con­ ducted six Vacation Bible School class­ es .in the Parish, besides helping witn interdenominational school in Has­ tings. Tho report by Mrs. Harold Barnum showed that a class at tho South Town Line (Dunkard) church of Woodland was a success there. So let us boost the Vacation Bible Schools another Tho address by Rev. Beirnes. a form­ er missionary, on “Vision of Unreach­ ed Fields” showed some startling facts. Nearly two-thirds of the world is still unrcached by the gospel. We spend $1.00 at home for ehureh and only two cents of it on foreign fields. Reports of tho county officers show­ ed that wo are working, but it seems slow. Tho financial report was some­ what discouraging, but we believe the people of Barry county will be willing to support this work, if they under­ stand the reason for it. The following officers were elected for tho coming year: Mrs. A. C. Clark, Hastings, President; Miss Charlotte Barnum. Hastings, Vice-President; Miss Aliee Whetstone, Woodland, Sec­ retary; Milo DeVries, Hastings, Treas­ urer; Eldon Farrell, Woodland, Ad­ ministrative Supt.; Mrs. Frank Edmonds, Hastings, Adult Superinten­ dent; Mrs. A.

Hewing to the Line With the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) industry begins with service and ends with profits. Service and profits are fundament­ ally two aspects of the same thing. The one contains the other. A fair profit to the stockholders, a fair price to the consumers, a just industrial program for the workers, a clean attitude toward com­ petitors and service for everybody, all the time, are merely different ways of saying: here is an industrial corporation which is successful. Distinguished service medals are not awarded bankrupts. If an organization cannot make a profit, it cannot remain in business. If industry is made to suffer the wrongs of unnecessary investigations, fixed profits, fixed wages or any other fixed workings of business, the business will eventually be forced into bankruptcy, and the result will be a summary ending of its service to society. Business is a living, growing, changing organism. It cannot be “fixed." You cannot animate by law. You can only restrain. And unwise restraint tends to lessen and limit production. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ia carrying on with scientific efficiency. Its service to society, as a whole, is an insepar­ able part of its successful existence. The Lamar,Missouri, Democrat says: “Every Esat and successful business does more tomake ppy homes, raise living standards, and place comforts and even luxuries at the doors of myr­ iads, than all of the spouting declaimere that ever dwelt in the irridescent realms of fancy. “Good wages could never be paid without creative genius to organize and carry on a suc­ cessful business. And the secret of every big business success is to be able to sell things cheaper instead of higher. “Our greatest benefactors are seldom recog­ nized for what they are.

Its very best friends commenced using it in just that way. They found that in QUAL­ ITY it was best, and that in PRICE there was nothing lower. In other words it was the "BEST FLOUR FOR THE MONEY." To be sure, some of them have tried other brands of flour, but they always come back to the old reli­ able FRENCH S WHITE LILY, which they knew they could depend upon. During these times it is quite important that every dollar go as far as possible in purchasing food supplies. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR will make better bread, biscuits and pastries for your family than can be made from any other flour. There will be absolutely no waste, no spoiled bakings to be thrown away. Every particle of the flour will be used. Every Sack of it is Guaranteed to satisfy the purchaser, so you take no chance whatever in buying it. We Guarantee it to the Grocers, the Elevator men and to you. Our Guarantee is back of every sack that goes out of the mill.

This decision has settled a long disputed question as to whether the state of Michigan or the individual county is responsible for all trunk lines. The ruling by the court of last resort is that a trunk line highway, so far as the question of liability Is con­ cerned, is entirely a county matter. The estate of Arley Longstreet of Lansing sued the state of Michigan and the county of Mecosta for damage and for the death of Longstreet and his son, and the injury of Mrs. Long­ street. The Longstreet car crashed in­ to a stream near Big Rapids on the Mackinnc Trail, where the bridge had been washed out. The' Mecosta court dismissed the suit. Aa appeal was taken to the supreme court which ruled that the county may bo hold liable for damages on trunk line highways, but that the state can not. The state highway commission, so the court ruled, Is in supervisory con­ trol, but tho State Highway Depart­ ment enters into what amounts to a contract with the county for the main­ tenance and upkeep of the roads, there­ fore, so rules the court of last resort, due to negligence or failure to main­ tain the road in a proper condition for travel, the county and not the state must be hold responsible for tho fail­ ure. It can readily be seen how far reach­ ing thia decision is and how necessary it is for a county to keep trunk line highways in passable condition. When M-79 shall be completed from Nashville to Battle Creek, and when the Colgrovo Highway shall be built into and from this eity, and M-37 lead­ ing through this city to Grand Rapids will give to this eounty a large trunk line mileage. For tho maintenance of which and the unkeep the eounty end not the state will be held responsible, under the ’’ ' decision -• of •*the Supreme court.

CAME NEAR BEING RUN OVER BY TRAIN THE HOSPITAL LAUNDRY | George Crakes’ Thoughtfulness Doubtless Saved a Little Boy’s Life Wednesday We are able to wake a little bettor showing for the Hospital Laundry this week than last; but the friercase is very slight, as compared with what it should lie. Wo hope the citizens of Hastings and Barry county will take this matter to heart and do what they can to provide this very necessary addition to the hospital facilities of Pennock Hospital. Wo will give the additions to tho list since our last report: That a little two year old boy was not killed by the C. K. & 8. train Wodnesdnv afternoon of last week, was due to the thoughtfuteMB of George Crakes, who is employed in the office of the Cnr Seal factory. Noting a couple of little fellows playing on the track near the factory, he cautioned them about the danger of playing on railroad tracks, as they might get run ever. The older ono of the boys spoke up and said that "the train had gone.” Mr. Crakes had not much more than reached the office ’nhen he heard the train whistle for fte bridge crossing. Rushing out he f<And the two tots still on the track, [tho older one, per­ haps four or five years old, sensing danger enough to get off the track. The younger one, however, evidently unaware of any possible harm remain­ ed on tho track until Mr. Crakes picked him up and lifted him off from be­ tween the tracks just as tho train rushed by. -It was a elose eall and no doubt Mr. Crakes' thoughtfulness saved the little fellow's Ufe.

The members of the committee in charge of this work wore surprised and delighted last week whea they received a cheek for 827.43 from the Child ’h Conservation League, which was organ­ ized hero some time ago. This money was raised from various sources and the ladies decided that ns long as the League had ceased to function, they would place their cash where it would do the most good, so decided nn the Free Bed fund. As there is still some money to be collected, the League hopes to bring tho total up to $35. This is indeed a splendid tMng to do and evidences a kindly, cooperative public spirit. The committee in charge are deeply grateful for this fine gift. If there nre any others who would like to help this worthy cause, Mrs. M". W. Hicks, city chairman, would be very glad to receive your contributions, and will sec that proper credit is given. During the past few months, several babies have been born nt the hospital, and their names should be placed bn the permanent honor roll there. This can be done if $1.00 is paid into this Child’s Free Bed fund, which money goes to help care for children who could not otherwise have hospital care. More and more Pennock hospital is becoming a county institution and it surely merits all the assistance and en­ couragement that may be given it.

RARE BARGAINS IN t USED CARS A used automobile is an automobile that has been seen on the street. In other words, the mere driving of a car on the.street.puts it in the “used car" class; and the only really new cars are those which have never left the sales floor. These automobiles are offered at the following low prices because they are in a sense, “used cars”—al­ though in reality they are merely exchanged cars. Know What You Buy We invite you to take one of these cars, use it as you * would your own—put it through the routine of your re­ quirements. Test it. Compare it.

President Coolidk'c very promptly, in nn address recently, made the state­ men, not as a din* t reply but as indi­ cating the position of the United States, that we would continue to as­ sort the right to govern our country, nnd to say who sb JI nnd who shall not come to this Country from other lands. It will be well for the United States to bo prepared to meet Japan, in this matter, because it is evident that her injured pride will carry her even to the : length of warfare with the United States, before her people will submit to have her national* excluded while . we allow those from other countries to enter our ports. Japan is unquestion­ ably preparing not only to mnkc de­ mands upon Amerim for the rcoprtiing of the immigration question but nlso to back it up by force if neces­ sary, nnd it will be well for the United States to be ready for such an event. Anyone can see th.at this League proposition would take from our country the right to govern the char­ acter or quality or race of immigrants. To such a proposition wo can never submit.

WATERS & SON ‘Tile Better Store for Men" Real Treat in Store for That Village and Surrounding Territory Union revival services will begin nt the Freeport Methodist church on Rnndny morning at 10:30 o’clock. This is not n cheap ”one-horse” evangelistic party that cannot find any other work to do. but arc all first clan men—and everybody loves renl men. Ah for"the evangelist, Dr. Guy Fitch Phelps, ho is n man’s man. Ho was born in Kansas where the cnttlc king* puahed their hcnla ncroM the Pan Han­ dle’ to the Union Pacific, railroad. He in of pioneer blood. Growing up among the gold camps of Idaho, he spent hi* life in the saddle, on the rtock rnnchoH, by the enmpftre, nnd hunting nnd following the tmik* through the mottnlninR. Ho hn« had hin ahnre of clone cnlln nnd danger*, and in every way knoww tho old west n« it wan. Dr. Phelps i« well spoken of in "Who’s Who!” Bi’chard A.

CARL BAUER HAD A VERY NARROW ESCAPE Nearly Asphyxiated by Defec­ tive Gas Heater at Ann Arbor Rooming House The BANNER mentioned last week the calling to Aan Arbor of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Bauer and Dt. L. E. Holly on Tuewlav of last week to see Carl Bauer, whose illness was reported to them as serious. How nerious it was, however, was not rcaHz' d until Mr. and Mrs. Bauer and Dr. Holly reached tho bedside of Carl. aS the particulars were not telephoned to them. It appears that Carl went into the Imth room at his rooming house nnd turned on the gns heater to heat the water. Immediately afn-r he camo out of the bath tub he fainted and fell heavily to the floor, but wn« conscious enough so that he crawled to the bnth room window nnd got just : - near to it ns he could, the window being raised about thfoe inches. But for this fact he wqpld. undoubtedly, have been nsphyxiatcil for a defect in the heater had permitted a considerable flow of gas to escape into the mom nnd had so filled the little room that Carl wns overcome. The landlady, going »v the bnth room, heard someone within groaning. Rhe tried the door and found it lock­ ed. Of course the key was on the in­ side, She called a SeigM>or woman, but there did not appear to be any way to get into the bath room, without breaking the door, nnd she hesitated about doing that, not realizing what was happening inside the room. For­ tunately Carl’s roommate camo right then and sired up the situation quickly, rushed out and called a policeman, who promptly smashed in the door nnd car­ ried out the young man, who was then almost past help, taking him to a nenrbv bedroom nnd sutntooning a doctor. ’ At first the doctor thought Carl eould not recover; but when his parents nnd Doctor Holly arrived, he was some better. With 4he effective treatment given 'by Dr. Holly he was soon pnst the danger point. Had he been left in the bath room a very few minutes more he would have been past all pos­ sibility of aid. Mr." and Mrs. Bauer made n record Iriftto Ann Arbor, covering the more than 100 miles in two and n half hours from the time they left this city in their automobile. PRATT DISTRICT.

The Hastings and Lowell football teams had a very interesting contest nt the fair grounds on Friday after­ noon. Lowell won tho game by a score of six to nothing. For two quarters the teams battled without cither side gaining a point, although Hastings had the ball well toward their oppon­ ent’s goal in the first quarter and mimed several good chances to win the game in the first two quarters. However, most of the first and sec­ ond quarters the ball stayed in the mid­ field. In the second quarter. Lowell began a driving offense which carried the ball to Hastings fifteen yard lint’, where the visiting tenm lost tho ball on downs. Hastings kicked out of danger and carried the ball to Lowell’s ten yard line, bqf lacked the necessary punch to put the t>al 1 across their op­ ponent ’s line. In the third quarter, Lowell started a brilliant drive, but was again held for downs. Hastings took the hall and worked it out of their territory, when Cole, Lowell’s guard, intercepted Has­ tings' pass and ran twenty-five yards for tho one lone score Lowell made in tho game. Lowell attempted another in the final quarter but were unable to get doser than the twenty yard line. The next part of the game was played in the darkness. The teams appeared to bo vory evenly matched. WOMEN’S CLUB. Tho Hastings Women’s Club held its first mooting of the year in the Community room, on Friday afternoon, October 10th. The meeting was called to order by the new president, Mrs. James Ironside. After the business session, a short time wns spent in Com­ munity singing led by Mrs. Burch, ac­ companied by Mrs. Thomns Doyle. A very interesting talk was given by Mrs. Ironside as her greeting to the club. Tho social hour was spent with as the teachers of tho city schools ’ * guests. Dainty sandwiches and tea wore served by the hostesses, Mezdomc* James Bristol, Charles McIntyre, H. 11. Ffirhisa, C. D. Bauer and F. L. Bauer. A group of songs, Elegies by Massen­ et and Tears and Smiles by Protheroe, sung by Mrs. Burch accompanied by Mrs. Doyle were greatly enjoyed. The club adjourned to meet October 24th.

Particularly has Dr. Barker done a remarkably fine work in the message of right living he has carried to the young men and women of the country. As a lecturer for Internat­ ional Rotary, he has talked in scores of high schools and everywhere these boys and girls havo been won by his dynamic personality and the sincerity of his counsel. Dr. Barker spoke on “How to get the most out of life.” In stressing •his theme, the speaker impressed the ideal of former President Garfield. He went on to elaborate on three essentials in the requirements of a successful life. “The strong arm,” he explained was a figurative expression, meant to apply to tho physical constitution and to make clear the possibility of those who are born with a physical weakness to build up their eonstitution. He cited the life of Theodore Roosevelt as one in which this had been accom­ plished, showing how tho former presi­ dent, once a weakling, had made him­ self one of the most energetic of men the'world has known through his own efforts to develop his physical well-be­ ing. To emphasize that everybody could do the same thing he declared that very few persons are born with constitutions in which their weaknessos are actually of an organic nature. “The’clear mind,” Dr. Barker said, “does not necessarily mean tho concentrative mind, but it does mean a mind which is capable of concentrating on one thing until it has been clearly thought out. To illustrate thia, he pic­ tured the mode of study which is preva­ lent among tho majority of high school boys and girls. Ho took a text book and started a typical study hour at home. He dramatically acted tho whole scene to illustrate how a student will allow thoughts of the football game, the movies, the debate and other activities to interpose themselves the moment a difficult problem in the les­ son is reached. “▲ brave heart” was tho closing and possibly the most interesting point presented. Dr. Barker did not bandy words in lambasting the faults of the high school boys and girls of today. He convincingly proved that he knew their innermost thought He defined “the brave heart” as the I moral cornerstone of tho successful life. Ho called boys and girls moral cowards who allowed themaclvos to bo persuaded to go to places which they know are not fit because they arc afraid of tho displeasure of their as­ sociates. Ho drew concrete pictures of how sueh temptations oeeur and fiercely arraigned those who yield. Reluctant!?, he said, Dr. Barker of­ fered some obMrvations on “spooning” among high school boys and girls. Tactfully he made a special applica­ tion of tho “bravo heart” for tho girls who have been heard to decry tho fact that the boys will pay np attention to thorn if they do not permit “spoon­ ing.” “Every boy here,” vigorously de­ clared Dr. Barker, “will bear mo out in saying that they havo more respect for ths girl who will not permit * spoon­ ing.' Popularity at tho cost of selfrespect is bound to bring sorrow.” As a parting admonition to tho girls, Dr. Barker told a very old truth but nevertheless a vital one. “The moment you let a young man get ‘fresh/ you lose his admiration and respect. It takes some sand and courago to stand up here and tell you these things, but I would fool that I were not doing my duty if I did not do so.”—Grund Rap­ ids Herald. NOBTHZABT OABLTON.

LaFollette Attempts to Defend His Position on the Supreme Court It is Interesting to note that LaFob lotte and his supporter, Gompera, aro trying to defend their position on the Supreme Court so as to take the sting out of their attacks npon the Consti­ tution and to picture La Tollette ns a man with n patriotic fervor. There and there, bitt that is only bclngSwed because of the obvious reaction of tho people to the facts in the cose and their irritation oVcr the attempt to destroy the Supreme Court. IjiFolkttc’a position is that “if the Supreme Court assumes to decide any law of Congress unconstitutional or by interpretation undertakes to as­ sert a public policy nt variance with the statutory declaration of Congress ••• the Congress may, by re-enacting court.'’ In attempting to sustain tho desirability of such a change the as­ sertion is made that the Supreme Court exercises an arbitrary power and that tho court has destroyed innumerable laws passed in the interest of the people. ' &■' It is well pointed out by student* that in the one hundred and thirty-five years of its existence no more thnn fifty nets of Congress have been de­ clared unconstitutional nnd in every instance time has justified the court. The attack is nlso made on the so-called •‘fivc-to-four decisions.” The same study of the situation re­ veals the fact that there have been only nine of such decisions nnd only six* of them hnve been criticized for political or social significance. Of thew six cases the income tax settled by the 16th amendment; Um Employer’s Aet amended and repassed was approved by the court; child labor is still the subject of a proposed amend­ ment now before the states; the ques­ tion of stock dividends will come up again undoubtedly. This list of decisions constitutes tho basis for the proposed destruction of the courts nnd the making of funda­ mental changes in a form of govern­ ment which has existed sinep April 30, 17<9. What those who propose the destruction of the'Supreme Court de­ sire is to secure for themselves and their affiliated blocs the' abolition of the rights of private property. Samuel Gompers wants special privileges for union labor, socialism hns its purposes, nnd lui Follette would like to rule without a written constitution. LnFollctte objects to n “fivc-to-four de­ cision” by the Supreme Court of tho United States en n question of low, but if his plan wont into effect he would have no hesitancy in accepting a Inw passed over a Supreme Court decision by Congress with only n bare quorum of Congress present nnd a majority of only one vote. It makes no difference if Congress passes n law by one vote out of a total of five hundred and thirty-one. but if the Supreme Court renders a decision by n majority of one in n court of nine something awful has happened. It only takes a little analysis of tho Ln Follette proposals to show both their idiocy and their ulterior purpose. EAST IRVING.

Shows Decisive Majority for Coolidge Over Both Davis and LaFollette The Literary Digest is making a nat­ ional poll of votes for the presidency. In the issue of October 11, a total of 1,451,591 votes had been received by the publisher* of tho magazine and had been counted. Many more have been received but they have not as yet been counted and tabulated. By next week a total well past three millions will have been totaled. So far Coolidge has teceived 808,340 votes, Davis 275,074 votes, and LaFollette 351,178 votes, in this poll. As will ba noticed Coolidge has over twen­ ty-five']>or cent more votes, in the poll so far, than have his two chief oppon­ ents. So far the returns have been re­ ceived from forty-two of the forty­ eight states. It is only fair to Mr. Dnvis to say that the returns so far received from the South are very mea­ gre. Not more than five per cent of the vote* recorded, so far, come from the states south of the Mason and Dixon line. When these returns come in and nro tabulated Mr. Davis will pass LaFollette, but at the present time Mr. LaFollette is well in the lead for second place. The Literary Digest poll by no means decides the election, November 4, but is an indication that cannot bo ignored, nnd it points to a decisive ma­ jority for Mr. Coolidge. TAMARAC CORNERS.

THIS BLAZE WAS CAUSED BY A SHORT CIRCUIT Burned Out the Transformer in the Western Union Office Friday morning, about seven o’clock,, when the young man who works for’ Clarence Goucher stepped into thei building, occupied by the Western Union, he noticed a considerable smudgei which seemed to come from the back end of the building. Going back there, he found that the trasformer was blaz­ ing. It had ruined the switchboard and had set the wooden shelf on the top of the switchboard on fire. Ho hurried to call the fire truck, which re­ sponded promptly and the chemicals soon put out the blaze. Had the fire occurred during the night a serious fire might have resulted. Later in the day experts from Grand Rapids came and put the switchboard in shape so that it could be operated with dr}' cells. This switchboard sets twenty clocks in this city every hour to correct standard time. It is operat­ ed by electricity from the Consumers Power Company's current. Some way there became a short circuit in the transformer which caused the fire. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT. > An X in front of my name on Tues­ day, November 4, win be greatly ap­ preciated.

Thieves Left It in Charles Day’s Barn When It Refused to Go Farther On Thursday of the Eaton county fair, two men drove to the farm home of Charles Day, who live* near the Barryville church, and asked Mrs. Day if they could put their ear in Mr. Day’s barn. They explained that the car had gone wrong and that they would have to send somebody back to get it and make some repairs. A week passed and no one called for the car. Mrs. Day spoke to Under­ sheriff Ward Quick about the matter, stating that it seemed strange that the men never came for the ear. Mr. Quick, on his way home to Nashville the following Saturday, stopped at the Day barn and got the license number on the car and found that the license had been originally issued to Byron Pennock, who lives on route nine from Kalamazoo. The sheriff notified the Kalamazoo sheriff of the fact that the car had been left here, but nothing came of it. However, on Wednesday of last week a lady called the sheriff’* office hero over the telephone, stating this car had been stolen and that it ■was insured in the Citizen’*. Mutual Auto Insurance Company, of HowelL She also explained that representa­ tives of that company would call that day and get it. They did coma in the afternoon and went with Mr. Quick to the Day farm and found the ear had been so injured by the thieve* that they had to take it to Nashville for repairs. The officers have not * able to find out anything about the thieve* who took the ear in the place. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT. DAVID N.

We all know how much higher freight nad passenger rates became under government opera­ tion, which in this ease amounted to practically governrrterft ownership. It is safe to assume that the railroad unions are not shouting for LaFollette to exercise their langs. They expect benefits to themselves in the way of largely increased wages if Mr. LaFollette’s plan of government owner­ ship shell be endorsed by tho voters of this country. As the railroads will have something like two and a half million employees, and ns these men and their wives and members of their families have votes, it is safe to assume that they would get what they wanted in return, for their support _odL La-. Follette. The result of all this would unques­ tionably l>c that every school district would have added to its taxes the amount which bad, heretofore, been contributed from the Primary School fund. It is just as safe to assume that freight and passenger rates would not only not be reduced but would in all human probability be increased. Wo nre not expecting that LaFollette will get a big vote among the fanners of Michigan. But if bo happens to carry tho states of Minnesota, . tho Dakotas, Montana, Iowa, Washington, California and Nebraska, as he is alin­ ing to do, and tl>row the election into congress where he believes he would win nothing could be more certain than t these states will rue tho day if ever give LaFollette their suppo he actually became President, farm crone of these states rose ports and foreign markets lar Jong hauls over railroads. If fthese states should be denied the millions which the railroads now pay them in taxes and the farmers would Nave to bear increased railroad rates for the transportation of their cropsj they would realize that the LaFollette ex­ periment in national socialism brought them only hard luck and more of it.

V page >AY, OCTOBER 22, 1924 nvi Prosecutor Sigler Speaks His Mind About the KlanWarden Hulbert Tells of His Work at the Prison at Jackson. The Farmers’ and Merchants' Assoelation of Woodland had a meeting Wednesday night, last week, at which Kim Sigler of this city and Harry L. Hulbert, warden of Jackson pnson, were the speakers. The Woodland News gives the following version of the gathering, in which our prosecutor Spoke his sentiments about tho Klan, nnd Mr. Hulbert described the work be ia doing at Jackson. The News’ aocount follows: Prosecuting Atty. Kim Sigler of the county seat also being present, was called on for a few remarks, which were on the benefits that can be deriv­ ed from an organization of this kind. As a matter of general information, he was asked about his view of, and his attitude toward tho Klan, about which we have heard so much in coweeetioa with the present campaign. To this he replied briefly, but directly, so that no one could mistake his position on the subject. In substance he spoke as follows: “You have here asked me a point­ ed question, and I shall answer it os fairly as I can. I um a Protestant nnd my family has bcch Protestant going back several generations. In reference to the Klan situation I will say most emphatically that I am not a member of that organization, and do not be­ lieve in all of its principles ns they saw stand. The idea of patriotism is a wonderful one, and nobody can dis­ pute the faet that wo need more of it in this country, but I do not believe that it can be bought for ten dollars. “The two principal objections that I have for the Klau are, first, the idea of religious tolerance. Over 2,000 years Eit was established that an institui, organization, or state founded apon prejudice, hatred and religious bins could not exist or endure. The fathers of our country came to this great land of freedom because* they might worship God in the manner they saw fit. They underwent trials nnd tribulations in order that they might follow their own religious beliefs, and when the constitution of which we are so proud was adopted, it guaranteed to every man the right to worship God as ho naw fit, and makoj tho idea of religious tests repugnant to our idea of government. Every man is entitled to think for himself and has a right to believe ns his conscience dictates. I have no grievance ngninst any in­ dividual because he happens to txjr a Klansman, nny more than I have against anyone who does not belong to tho same religious faith or political party as myself. I conscientiously feel thnt certain things in tho organization are wrong. “The second idea to which I am un­ alterably opposed is the Klnn attitude toward the foreign born. They have come here because this country invited them to come, just as tho ancestors of every Klansman nnd myself • came. No one can dispute the fact that when tho buglo called the foreign born lined up beside tho American born in tho trenches in France and fought the bat­ tle of Democracy. It is ridiculous to me to assume that because a num comes front Scotland for instance, nnd settles down in this country, working earnestly, saving his money, and becom­ ing a law-abiding citizen, that ho is not just as good ns myself, whose an­ cestors have lived in this land for sev­ eral generations. However, it is evi­ dent that we have in this country now a large foreign clement who have come here in good faith, but in such num­ bers that we have found it impossible to assimilate them, and have them im­ bibe our American ideals of freedom and fair play, law and order. I believe that it was eminently wise for Con­ gress to restrict immigration until every foreign born person or descend­ ants of such shall have been trained in American ways and to become tho right type of American citizen. I do not deny the right of this organization or nny other, the right to activity in politics. However, you will notice up­ on the membership application card, this statement, “Tho most powerful, secret, non-politieal organization in ex­ istence.’’ I have always been a be­ liever in straightforwardness and in doing things in the open. I feel that We should be sincere in our relations nnd that when we do anything for the benefit or betterment of our land or community thnt it should bo done in tho open daylight. “I believe that a great many men Buy Now!

STORE who have joined the Klan have been misled, nnd have not given the sub­ ject due consideration. I know of many good men who are members of the Klan. I hnvc no ill-will toward them ns such, but cannot agree with them on such a proposition. I realize that in answering this question to­ night, it may harm me politically, but I ennnot straddle the fence on this sort of a situation. I feel that I am right in this regard, and for thnt reason I have answered this question ns I have.’’ Warden Harry L. Hulbert of the Jnckson prison was then introduced, and after a few preliminary remarks went direct into his subject which was Jackson prison,--the Warden’/ job, the men he has to deal with, nnd what the present management is try­ ing to do—Rebuild men. He soon had tho audience convinced that he is a big man, and that the Warden's job at thnt institution is a real big job. He sai<l thnt the men he ha^ t<> deal with arc just like' the" average run of men who arc on the outside of the prison, simply human beings, thnt his duties an- much like those of the instructor of young people, only more so. As to the industries car­ ried on at the prison ho gave out much intercstiag information, giving their binder twine industry most at­ tention. Ho showed the different fibres which aro used ia tho prison twine and where grown, tho price, etc., making it interesting and pnTfit Kblo for all to know. The Warden epoke for an hour and touched many other important features of prison life and activity which wo cannot mention nt this time. Before clos­ ing ho gave a general invitation to all to c.ouie over and visit tho prison, see for ourselves how and what is being done. Also offered tho free use of their movie outfit, which car­ ries, films thnt show nearly every phase of their prison activity, ns n part of sonic future program of the Association or to put on for some public program so that everybody ean get « better idea of what'their work really is.

Game Laws Deputy Game Wardens Millenbacher. of Cnsrlotte, and Bera, of Nashville, made quite a killing last week in ar­ resting hunters for violation of tho game laws. Up in Irving, on October 15, they arrested Forrest Buehler, a resident of that township, Herbert A. Thompson, of Grand Rapids, Menzo W. Butler, a resident of Now York state, for hunting without licenses. The trio were brought before Justice F. M. Craig of thia city and on the sumo day, entered pleas of guilty and each paid a fine of >10.00 and >5.05 costs. Daniel Yargcr, of Grand Rapids, it seems has some defect in hia vision and was unable to decide on Wednesday of last week whether a gray squirrel was a gray squirrel or a fox squirrel. If it were a fox squirrel he had a right to kill it; but if it were a gray squir rel he had no such right. So he took a chance. It proved to bo a gray squirrel that he killed; and of course there were Deputies Millenbncher ami Bora right there ready to pounce on him for not being able to see tho dif­ ference. Accordingly ho was brought before Justice Selden on the 16th nnd entered a pica of guilty, paid $10.00 fine and $3.95 costs. Mr. L. O’Harra, whoso name would not indicate that ho was ever a sub­ ject of tho Kaiser, was arrested by tho two deputies on tho 19tth for hunt­ ing without a license. Ho appeared before Judice ftehWn. •» ani1 paid $10.00 fine pud $3.95 costd; Arthur Shipsky, of Lansing, came over to Thornapple lake on the 12th. He saw a strange bird and took a shot at it and brought it to the earth. It seemed to bo n curious specimen, and he decided to send it to a friend of his, who is a taxidermist living in Char­ lotte. 'It was kept in a certain cooler in a meat market in Charlotte, nnd it was so peculiar that some one connect­ ed with the market decided that ho would like to know what kind of a bird it was; so he called in Chris Millenbachcr to tell him! -Now what do you know about that! Chris said ho hnd never seen anything like it, but he would havo it looked up, which ho did. It turned out that this curious bird wns an osprey, which very rarely finds its wny so far north as this. It is classed as a migratory bird. Ac­ cordingly Mr. Shipsky wns invited to soo a Nashville justice and wished that this osprey and all other migratory birds might be consigned to tho dem­ nition bow wows where they would not plague nn innocent hunter, who is just curious to find out what a strange bird is like. The justice thought $15 fine nnd $5.05 costs about the proper thing for Arthur. The fines assessed in these cases go into tho library fund, and will help furnish new books for libraries. ORANGEVILLE.

Don’t Spend It All Hastings National Bank Phone 2217 Hastings, Michigan The Only National Bank in Barry County MICHIGAN VERSUS STITE OF FLOBIM A MARKED CONTRAST IN PROPOSED LAWS RELA­ TIVE TO WEALTH FLORIDA WOULD ATTRACT, MICHIGAN WOULD REPEL Would Be Unwise to Try to Force 33,000 to Bear Tax Burdens for 4,000,000 While the state of Michigan is go­ ing to vote on a constitutional amend­ ment which, if carried, would compel thirty-three thousand people to pay all the expenses of tho state of Michigan, the state of Florida is taking a very different course. Florida if bidding for wealthy mon to locate io that state and there is an overwhelming senti­ ment for it in that state. The pro­ posed Florida constitutional amend­ ment forbidding inheritance and state income taxes is of course a bid to have wealthy people become residents of Florida. It is safe to assume that if Michigan ptfsses the amendment which will be submitted next November that a good many people, having incomes that would bring them within the tax­ able limit, would locate in Florida. The following is a copy of (he Florida constitutional amendment, which will unquestionably be adopted by tho voters of that state: . “No tax upon inheritances or upon the income of residents of thih state shall be levied by the state of Florida, or under its authority, and there shall be exempt from taxation to the head of a family residing in this state house­ hold goods and personal effects to the value of $500.” The latter* part . of this proposed amendment in Florida will bring to it the support of all laboring people in that state, because of Its exemption of $500 worth of personal property. The fact that state income taxes and state inheritance taxes are forbidden in Florida will attract to that state very many wealthy people who will create great estates, build fine homes, surround thenmelves with large amounts of persdp^l property, so that the state of Florida will gain immense­ ly in taxable property if this amend­ ment shall pass. That is exactly why it will be passed. The state of New Jersey has a con­ stitutional provision which exempts corporations from any special tax in that ktate. That means that in New Jersey all manufacturing Institutions as well as other corporations are asked to pay only such taxes as other people have to pay. That is the reason why iy so many great corporations are incor­ porated within the state of Now Jersey, though they may own property else­ where. In order to help lift the burden on real estate, tho state of Michigan did enact a corporation tax which has brought nn income of six million dol­ lars to tho state every year. But it Is not a large tax, and is levied on the workable capital only of each company, and tho manufacturing institutions of the state have been willing to pay it, because of the fact that it has not been burdensome. But can anybody doubt that they would be seriously handicapped if on top of that there should be added a state income tax, in addition to tho 12% per cent United States income tax, making them pay an added income tax of from five per cent to ten per cent of their earnings* Who will question but what that will be very harmful to tho manufacturing enterprises of this state* They have to compete with manufacturing con­ cerns incorporated in New Jersey where no corporation taxes or other oppressive taxes are levied. They will have to compete with factories located in a dozen or more other states where no income tax is levied, or a very small one. And if on top of all this the stockholders owning stock in these corporations may also be compelled to pay a heavy state income tax, and re­ quired also to pay the national income tax, who can doubt but that the effect of all this will bo to drive manufactur­ ing and owners of large wealth out of Michigan* In our judgment this proposed amendment is a piece of vicieua legis­ lation, unfair, inequitable and wholly unwarranted. It attempts to write statutory law into the state constitu­ tion. If adopted, it will take out of the hands of the legislature all right to alter or amend or change its provis­ ions in any manner. If this constitu­ tional amendment passes, it will stand there for all time until the people, themselves, wipe it out. It is an appeal to selfishness; since it tries to hold out the inducement to the land owner or laborer that if he will vote for it he will bo relieved of all the bnrden of supporting this state. As the state belongs to all the people, and protects them in their rights, why should not every citizen who is able to contribute to its support do his or her share* The BANNER has stated many times that this amendment is so loosely drawn that it is likely to inelude, and can be interpreted to include, all chureh organizations, hospitals and other chantable institutions, and even colleges which are not supported by tho state, so that they too will prob­ ably be the victims of this proposed foolish piece of unfair legislation. Can anyone doubt that every one of the thirty three thousand people upon whom it is intended by thia proposed amendment to place all the burden for the entire support of the institutions of this state will feel that they are treated most unfairly* Will they not feel that the advocates of this proposi­ tion are making an unwarranted and inexcusable attack upon their personal rights* And would it not be natural for them to avoid paying it if they That it can be evaded is not ques­ tioned. The simple evpedient of tak­ ing up one's residence in another state will avoid the proposition easily, so far as individuals aro concerned. It need not be doubted that such men as Henry and Edscl For^, who would have to pay four million dollars state income tax every year, besides their federal income tax, would if this amendment passes, find Florida or some other state a very congenial placo of residence. Other people would find substantial reasons for locating their homos in other states. The question of where a man’s homo is, is a ques­ tion of his own intent; and there is nothing in the constitution of the United States, which governs such mat­ ters as this, that would prevent any man from having his residence in an­ other state while he, himself, spent most of his time and bad his business in Michigan. That the provisions of this law could bo evaded need not be questioned. There is nothing in the law to prevent it. It is loosely rfirawn, evidently by men who were so anxious to saddle burdens upon somebody else, without regard to fairness or equity, that they did not realize the importance of hav­ ing their proposed amendment proper­ ly drawn. The BANNER has often said and now repeats that we are in favor of a fair state income tax. If Michigan wants to adopt such a tax, and wo think it ought to, let it bogin where Wisconsin begins, with incomes of $800 and increase the tax gradually as in­ comes become larger. In this way we would have a reasonable tax which every man would feel justified in* pay­ ing, because he would know that it is fair, and puts the burden of the sup­ port of the state where it belongs, up­ on the people who are benefited by the state government and who are in a position to pay it. It is a mistake to assume that largo incomes represent receipts of actual cash. In big corporations incomes are usually represented by additions to plants or by increased supplies of manu­ factured or unmanufictured materials or by accounts aganst their customers. Incomes for merchants are largely rep­ resented by expenditures made for the home, or for better homes or for com­ forts within the home, or for enlarge­ ment of one’s business. It is very rare indeed that incomes aro represented wholly by cash. Generally speaking, the man of wealth is simply the custo­ dian of his property, which is repre­ sented by lands, buildings, business interests, materials, stocks, securities and things which are not money, but whieh under favorable conditions may be converted into money, and under unfavovablo conditions are not so easily converted. If the voters of Michigan set out to do the unreasonable, vicious thing of attempting to put all the burden of support of state institution^ on thirty three thousand of its four Million citi­ zens, they will find out that they have failed in getting what they went’after; that it has harmed the state; discour­ aged investments within tho state; restricted employment for labor; re­ stricted business for those engaged in business; and that they will have done a most unwise and unreasonable thing. If anybody in Michigan thinks that this attempt to make thirty-three thousand people bear all tho expenses of state government will save real es­ tate from bearing any of the burden of taxation, they will be disillusioned in the course of a ven- short time. In the first place the results will be very disappointing, because of many ways by which people with large incomes can evade paying. In the next place they will find that. the politicans. whose greedy eves aro fixed upon easy money, will filch it from the state and will spend it freely and call for more, so that the people will discover that real estate will have to be taxed in the same old way. Wo are in receipt of the following letter from Dean Eugene Davenport of Woodland, relative to this matter. He is a far-seeing, wide-visioned man. and a close student of economies. He writes us as follows: “I hope you wtll go after the pro­ posed income amendment to the state constitution, and while you are about it, take a dig at the infernal initiative and referendum that makes such an outrage possible—outrage not only be­ cause the proposed law is vicious, but because it is proposed to put into the constitution of Michigan what in prop­ erly ordinary but complicated legisla­ tion. Go after it hard.” The BANNER believes that the best interests of thia state demand that the proposed state income tax bo defeated, and that a later effort be made to se­ cure a fair, and fairly distributed, state income tax. one that can be amended if needed.

Sowerby; pet­ ition for appointment of Lillie Hower- Wo believe the voters of Barry coun­ ty ought to be opposed to the proposed income tax amendment. Our opposi­ tion is based upon the theory that more money raised in taxes means thnt just much more will be spent. The pro­ ponents of this tax sot up the claim t$at it will affect only thirty-three thousand people; but let us consider t^t argument for a moment. TheseI riih men will merely add the now tax on to their production cost and win collect the additional tax as a fixed part of their overhead expense, which is- made a part of the cost of the products they make or the services which they render. In that event who will eventually pay the taxesf It will be the purchasers of the products and services, who will pay the tax. President Coolidge said in an address to, the Labor delegation, who called at the White House on Labor Day: ••‘‘No matter what any one may say atfout making the rich and the corpsationa pay the taxes, in the end they cane out of the people who toil.” The proposed amendment is too y<uc to be trusted. Once it is passed, it:can only be changed by a vote of the people, the legislature cannot attend it. It can be evaded by those who care to evade it in mnny ways, for it is very loosely drawn. It may ba interpreted so as to include the in­ come of colleges, not supported by the state; charitable Institutions, that arc not supported by the state, and even churches; and it is certain that it would cut off contributions to such religious and benevolent institutions by the ^Further there would still remfiin the right of the state authorities to levy tones just as they do now. Thus, the temptation to spend more money bec&sc they have it, would result in the Mine old tax upon real estate, that we now have. The BANNER has explained that wd favor an income tax, but it ought trtbc » moderate tax and ought to begis, where Wisconsin begins, with in­ come* of $800 with a small tax and gradually increase as the incomes grow in’'size. This.loosely drawn and un­ fair amendment ought to be decisively defeated next Tuesday. The income tas is the second one on lot Amendment ballot. It ought to be dtiested by a decisive vote. To vote egunst it one should put a cross in the ■3are before the NO on the sveood amendment on the ballot. NORTHWEST JOHNSTOWN. [iss LilHc Vickery of Clear lake vis* Mr*. E. Horn. Thursday. he W. C.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1924 JUST A PLAIN CASE Vote “No” OF MUD SLINGING » On The Proposed Income Tax Amendment s W <THE REASONS MULTIPLY It would destroy the very basis for the present Railroad Taxes, and Public Utility Taxes generally, for which the people fought for years in the days of Pingree, and enable them all to escape all taxes, ex­ cept those levied locally under the general law, until this proposed amendment, if adopted, be repealed or amended by the people, at a general election. Up to Pingree's time the State Constitution re­ quired a uniform rule for assessing taxes, as follows: - II—— ■' Robert M. LaF-llettc stood before his Detroit au<lfa>< Thursday evening in'the role of a rv ul-linger, pure and simple.'* The purpo • of his speech was n general contenti' n ihat about every­ body and everything is more or less rotton, and he inti: • I more strongly than delicately thr,' he is the one holy nprAtle of righteo -n, and that the sole way to salvat. n is his election to the presidency Maybe LaFollcttc i thinks this is goo : -tuff, nnd having peddled his nostro .-<» long actually believes part of w'"; ' he says. -But n perusal of the tex: of his speech in cold blood makes r »eom rather ghast­ ly. What’s more, though luiFollctto blustered and tore i good deai-bc was plainly on the def-n-ivc. The picture Lal lletto drew of an American laboring and sweating nnd fostering under th-' incubus of nn op­ pressive monopoli' i system “living off the economic 1 blood of the Amcricnn farmer, ‘••isincis man nnd wage earner’’ and *'depriving them of the just proceeds of their honest lnl*r. wielding a despttii power’’ and doing nil sorts of other w i. k< d things, wns horrific enough, to -atisfy a Zulu devil maker. < But it must be l ari for people pos­ sessing a sense of humor to read some of the things the <rutor said and not chuckle. . We nro so down trodden and so op­ pressed in this cetin try today, that we arc individually and collectively the most prosperous an.I freest [maple on the face of the earth. We victims of the “octopus,’’— Yep. LaFollcttc ac­ tually invoked ‘thr shade of that vonernblc monster—<r.’ in such a sad con­ dition that we own our own homes by millions; wo chltL r our parlors with pianos nnd phonograph*, we crowd the streets with our automobiles, many of us being persecute I to such nn extent that we go to earn our daily wage in our machines. The comforts nnd a good many of the luxuries of life arc ac­ tually thrown in our fares, and millions pay income taxes, while millions more have n dreadful time keeping their an­ nual incomes down to a point beyond the collector. It’s n sad story, the story of the en<haine»l American’s prosperity, nnd it makes LaFollette weep. It would be so much nicer for him if conditions, here were free and poverty stricken ns they nro in dear old Russia. Then there’s corruption in politics. Of course LaFollette had to talk about that. He always docs. And most of the stuff he pulled was so antiquated that wo really don’t believe it is worth refuting. Still, speaking of corruption, has it occurred to the head of tho Rad­ icals that there epn be political corrup­ tion other than corruption through the use of money! Corruption by slander, corruption by misrepresentation, corruption by ap­ peal to clou feeling, prejudice and pas­ sion; corruption by deliberately stir­ ring up of unrest in an effort to use a tide of turmoil-tp-jjde into office—what about that sort bFeorruption! Is any­ thing worse- than for a mnn to try to lie his way into office! LaFollette ought to think that over.—Detroit Free Press. 1 “Sec. 3. The Legislature shall provide by law a uniform rule of taxation, except on property paying specific taxes, and taxes shall be levied on such property as shall be prescribed by law.’’ 'v After a long fight, it was amended by adding the , following clause: “Provided that the Legl.lature shall provide by law a uni­ form rule of taxation for such property as shall be assessed by the State Board of Assessors, and the rate of taxation on such property shall be the rate which the State Board of As­ sessors shall ascertain and determine Is the average rate levied upon other property upon which ad valorem taxes are assessed for State, County, Township, School and Municipal purposes.” it That clause is there today, and has been sustained by the courts, after protracted litigation. It is the only constitutional basis for millions of dollars of rail­ road and other public utility taxes, annually, which will have no basis whatever if this proposed amend­ ment be adopted, for it puts the proposed income tax provision IN THE PLACE OF THE ABOVE PRO­ VISION, NOT BELOW IT. The effect is substan­ tially to reduce railroad taxes and other public utility taxes, which form the resource for a large part of the Primary School Fund. Do the farmers want this gap filled by additional real estate taxes? This proposed amendment is beyond belief, I agree. Several here would not believe it, when this discovery was made, until a trusted man was sent to Lansing to examine the proposed, amendment. However crazy a proposal it is, it has been put under way and there is no way to escape its effect, if the proposed amendment be adopted. I have the written opinion of a well-known and high class lawyer, a copy of which will be mailed on request. It gives the whole stofy and the writers have verified the facts. A sorry mess the State will be in if-the proposed amendment be adopted. TAKE WARNING, EVERY TAXPAYER. FREDERICK W. STEVENS. Make Each R.R. Crossing A Stop Street Most Michigan cities compel motorists to bring their cars to a full stop before crossing any heavy-traffic street. This law is universally approved. It saves time and averts accident. It is wise and fair. Yet heavy motor vehicle traffic is far less dangerous to you than a railroad train. Speed is the very essence of Railroad service. A train cannot stop quickly. Nor can it turn out to avoid hitting you. Six states have already passed laws, making stop streets out of Railroad intersections. The time may come when the State of Michigan will compel you by law to thus protect yourself. But, why wait for law, when you have common sense: Determine today that, from this time on, you will always bring your car to a full stop before crossing a Railroad track, anywhere—any time. Everybody will approve your good judgment. Many will follow your example. And you will be relieved forever from the possibility of this, the most serious of common accidents.

FELLOWS HARDWARE COMPANY �THE HASTINGS BANNZB, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBEB 22, IKS PAGE FOURTEEN ASSYRIA TOWN- SHIP CONVENTION HE spirit of Protestantism exhibits itself in Love and Tolerance. A true Protestant grants his fellow-citizen the right to differ as he himself claims that right. Protestantism stands for certain definite principles, but it does not display intolerance towards those of opposite views. A Protestant hopes that others may see as he does, but if they do not he still remains neighborly and fair. He does not resort to legislation to force his convictions upon others. Protestantism is opposed to every type of tyranny over the minds and souls of men. It stands for freedom of conscience and religion. It stands for freedom of thought and speech. It stands for freedom to learn — and teach. It cannot agree to a dictatorship of re­ ligion or education without violating its traditional spirit. It does not believe that the state should establish a monopoly in education. All who believe in the true spirit of Protestan tism will work and vote against the School Amendment, which seeks to give the state a monopoly in education. Passion must not be permitted to destroy educational liberty, which is oneof the best fruits of the Protestant Reformation. T TU. , L.

They disprove the claims of propagandists that there are more than one-half million people in Michigan who can­ not read or write. Michigan people are broadminded, toler-' ant, and educated. They are products "of schools that are second to none in America. Public, Private, and Church Schools have worked together in a program of state-wide education. Each deserves credit for the part it has played. If Michigan were to adopt the School Amendment, private and church schools would have to be closed in less than nine months! Nearly 125,000 pupils would be thrown into hn already overcrowded public school sys­ tem. Chaos would prevail. Work would be disorganized. System would be destroyed. Taxes would go up.

Why should they not do an unusual thing in connection with that idea—create A TRUST FOR THE BABY, to con­ sist of the payments, from time to time, large and small, that will re­ sult from the affection and economy of the parents and from the con­ tributions of admiring friends and relatives; the principal and interest to be invested and reinvested by the trustee in bonds or mortgage notes drawing 6% or better, the whole to be accumulated until the baby shall have reached a stated age, and then to be used, in the discretion of the trustee or some other appointee, for any one or all or several designated purposes, for example: (1) expenses of a college or other education; (2) expenses of travel in lieu or as a supplement to the same; (8) expendi­ tures attending marriage or setting up a home; or (4) simple support and maintenance, whether married or unmarried, according to the ideas of the parents. This trust may be begun with 1100 and subsequent payments of S50 will be accepted. When the income is not withdrawn and is reinvested, the accumulation grows with interesting strides. It will be a source of increasing pride to all concerned. MichiganTrust COMPANY i 847.413.15 8136,993.54 m xnn on Organized in 1889 Corner Pearl and Ottawa Grand Rapids, Mich. Wm. Elliott. A. A.

At a three cent average price, that was $4.62 extra profit from 200 pounds of Chowder. In addition, this user reports that the Purina pen was in better condition at the end of the test.

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 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. Ai)d it will also hold moisture better. If you aie not now using it, we invite you to make the test. If you are, you know all we have said is so.

It is true that, measured by the fig­ ures on the tax receipt, national taxes are now much less than state and local taxes, and that tho President is powerless to reduce the latter. But national taxes arc grievous in them­ selves. Moreover, the Federal taxes are to a great extent levied against industrial, financial, transportation and twnrMeal utility enterprises, and individuals en­ gaged therein, thus directly entering into costs that arc pyramided nnd pass­ ed on. The poor man who thinks he pays no income tax is mistaken. He helps pay'some of the biggest income taxes, if he buys anything at all. Tho farmer helps pay them when he buys a piece of machinery or any manufartured article. The working man helps pay them when he buys food nr clothing for his family. Everbody pays. The national debt nnd the cost of operating the Government are the causes of the Federal taxes. Tho only way to get rid of the national debt is to pay it. Tho only way to reduce the cost of government is to economise. President Coolidge is doing both, with amazing success. Strengthen his arm! COOLIDGE’S WAR SOUTH CAMPBELL. Last Week ____ _’s Letter.

(2) Economy in government expendi­ tures. (3) Rapid redaction of the national debt Perhaps the President’s views arc best summed up in his own words in a speech delivered Thursday night and broadcast over the country by radio. This is the summary: A foreign policy hiving as its foun­ dation peace with independence. Public economy and insistence upon its rigid enforcement. • Rapid retirement of the national debt and reduction of national expendiA common sense method of taxation which will obtain the maximum amount of revenue by making the rates moderate, thus stimulating busi­ ness to provide work for wage earners at good pay in order that they may better bear the burden of indirect tax­ ation. Tariff protection for American in­ dustries, insuring payment of Amer­ ican wages and continuance of Amer­ ican standards of living. Placing of agriculture on a perma­ nently profitable basis, where it esn enjoy economic equality with other industries. Calling on an agricultural confer­ ence to formulate a program for legis­ lation. Promotion of domestic and foreign trade through the activities of tho de­ partment of commerce. Opposition to public ownership of transportation and water power, which would threaten the welfare of business and the independence of the people. Preservation of the rights of the peo­ ple and of the states by resisting all efforts to weaken the power of the Su­ preme court. nock Hospital Judge Ella Eggleston ctime before the supervisors during their session >nd explained to them that she had been called on in emergency cases to send people who needed immediate medical or surgical attention, to Pennock hos­ pital. She said that the law gave her no opinion in the matter and she could only send such eases to tho University hospital at Ann Arbor. She suggested that the board appoint a committee to see if it could not be arranged so that such cases could be sent to Pennoek hospital, and believed that this arrangomeut would not be more expensive and might result in the saving of lives. The supervisors named E. V. Smith of Nashvile, M. C. Nichols of this city and Willis Streeter of Yankee Springs as a committee to investigate and re­ port on this matter. BIDDLES INCOME TAX AMENDMENT GRAND RAPIDS LAWYER POINTS OUT HOW LOOSE­ LY DRAWN IT IS WOULD WORK HARM AND INJUSTICE TO MICHIGAN The Legislature Cannot Amend It as It Would Be Part of the Constitution Matfc Norris, a Grand Rapids at­ torney, spoke to the Charlotte Com­ munity Club the other day about the proposed state income tax amendment, and gave a most- convincing reason why everyone should vote NO on this amendment, which is tho second one on the Amendment ballot. We give be­ low tho summary of Mr. Norris’ ad­ dress as it appeared in tho Charlotte Republican: “Tho power to tax is tho power to destroy,” said Mark L. Norris, the well known Grand Rapids lawyer in his address on tho income tax amendment given at the Community Association unchoon Tuesday noon, “and,” added tho speaker, “citizens should at all times bo vigilant when new plans of taxation aro proposed.” Mr. Norris who was introduced by his son, k. L. Norris of tho Charlotte Furniture Co., said ho did not como to Charlotte in any capacity other than a private citi­ zen to disenss with other private citi­ zens the provisions of the proposed income tax amendment to be voted upon November 4th.

Two men, Andrew Williams, and his son Merrill, both of Lansing, arc in jail as a result of the raid. There is lodged against them a complaint for manufacture of intoxi­ cating liquor. The officers were given a tip earlier in the week that there were a couple of barrels of mash in a vacant house on a farm, two nnd one-half miles east of Woodland. On Thursday night Sheriff Parker and Prosecutor Sigler drove quietly to this vacant house and found upstairs two barrels of mash that were evidently near the time when they would bo distilled. The following day Sheriff Parker tramped through the territory in that vicinity and into the swamps of that region, which is close to Bobby lake, but could find no trace of a still, or of anything that looked as if distilling operations were being carried on. But tho officers were certain that those two barrels of mash did- not re­ pose in that upper room in the vacant house for nothing, and felt certain that tho condition of the mosh warranted the expectation that the owners would put in their appearance before long tu distill it. Accordingly, about elevon o'clock Friday night, Sheriff Parker, Prosecutor Sigler and Deputy Leonard visited this vacant house again. They found that some of the mash had boon taken from one of tho barrels since the pail sight before and. nearby was (Continued on page six.)

Dr. Suloeba has spent many years on the lecture platform under different lyceum and Chautauqua bur­ eaus. He has bad thrilling experiences in escaping from the Turks and ac­ quiring an education in this country. He dates his family history back to the time that Jonah preached in Nineveh. Records of Jonah’s visit he found carved on stone in the sacred hidden chambers of that country. Hastings is associated with the romance in the life of Dr. Suleeba, as it is here, that ho found his wife. His topic will be “That Bad Pen­ ny.’’ The older residents will no doubt be glad for the privilege of hear­ ing Dr. Suleeba again and those who have nover heard him should not miss this opportunity. He is a living ex­ ponent of tho opportunities our coun try furnishes. His lectures should make us nil appreciate our national blessings more and inspire us to greater patriotism and loyalty. ment Ballot A million people living within a dis­ trict 15 miles square, as in Detroit, are politically far more powerful than a million people scattered over this state.

WATERS & SON THE BETTER STORE FOR MEN SUPERVISORS MAKE SOME APPOINTMENTS Aho Select Barry County Banks Where County Funds Will Be Kept The supervisors voted that $25,000 of the county foods be deposited in the Freeport State Bank, the same amount in the Fanners and Merchants Bank of Nashville and the same amount in the State Savings Bank of Nashville. They also voted that checking ac­ counts be maintained in the two banks in this city and that the balance of the funds/ belonging to the county aside from the 175,000 for the outside banks, be kept in the two banks in this city as open accounts to be used for checking accounts, as may be re­ quired. The board voted 3% be paid on the time deposit*, that would be on the $75,000 and that 2% be paid on the daily balances in the open checking ac­ counts. These five banks were the only ones in the county which re­ sponded to the board’s request for blds for the county money.' Barry county is to have a county wide tuberculin test for cattle. The supervisors have voted $3,000 for that purpose. This is a very wise expen­ diture of county money. The super­ visors voted $300 toward the fund for a child’s free bed to be maintained at Pennock hospital. The supervisors elected the follow­ ing officers who were chosen by the board: Commissioner of the Poor, C. H. Osborn, who succeeds himself. County Road Commissioner, John Carlisle of Orangeville, who succeeds himself. School Examiner, for the school term, Carl Brown of Orangeville. School Examiner to fill vacancy, Mrs. Beulah Hayward of this eity. County board of canvassers, Len W. Feighner of Nashville, Glen Whitmore of Middlev^le and A. J. Woodmansee of this eity. They have done this work for several years very satisfactorily. Frank Bagnall was employed for an­ other year as janitor. Confenf* of Pacific Tlie Pacific ocean covers 6S.000.000 square miles.

FOSDIGK SAYS HEWII1N0T COMPLY TIME HAS COME TO STAND AGAINST SECTARIAN­ ISM, HE SAYS REFUSES TO ACCEPT WESTMINSTER CREED Holds That Time Has Come to End the Denominational ‘'Closed Shop” ; For five years Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdiek has been the pastor of tho First Presbyterian Church of New York city. Dr. Fosdiek is a Baptist; but he docs not believe in sectarianism, nnd was entirely consistent in taking the pastorate of a Presbyterian ehurch. For the five years in which he was a member of thtf Baptist church while serving this Presbyterian church, his theology has been attacked. But he stood his grounds. The ehurch which he served supported his right to hold such views ns he' did and to preach them from its pulpit. e It will be rcmejpbered that when the Fosdiek case came before tho General Assembly of tho Presbyterian Church at Grand Rapids last spring that the Fundamentalists, led by William Jen­ nings Bryan, took several swipes fit Dr. Fosdiek, and concluded by demand­ ing that if he continued to be th6 pas­ tor of the First Presbyteriatf'Church of New York city that he must resign his connection with the .-Baptist de­ nomination, and that h^ must subscribe to the Westminster .Confession, which is the creeds! statement of tho Pres­ byterian church. / ’ Because th$. members of this big • New York Presbyterian church loved him as a man and as a pastor, they urged him to comply with the General Assembly's demand and continue to be the castor of their ehurch. zDr. Fosdiek has been considering r’zthis matter for some time. Evidently ' he has been in no hurry to reach a de­ cision. Last week, however, he anx^-*ownced his purpose not to withdraw from the Baptist church nor to sub­ scribe to the Westminster Confession. It was a beautifully temperate express­ ion of his sentiments. Not once' did he mention, by name or inference, his narrow minded enemies within the Presbyterian fold who hnve seemed to ‘'tike delight in hounding his footsteps ■___ in orddr that ha might b® coerced into proclditning or sustaining their views. Dr. Fosdiek was btg-minded enough to see that he must decline to change denomination, because that would-be the very reverse of'the thing for which , he haa stood. He declined io accept TOTEM BKCECVZ the Westminster Confession with its ancient crecdal statements, and insist­ ed that as a Protestant it was his right to hold such views as to tho origin of man and to such opinions ns to what constitutes Christianity, as seemed right to his own conscience. Dr. Fosdiek declares that the time has come to put an end to tho foolish­ ness of sectarianism and to refuse to accept the principles of n denomina­ tionally “closed shop”, when applied to the ministers of any church. Ho de­ clares himself to be an Evangelical Christian, holding the opinions which hundreds of Presbyterian ministers hold, but ho refuses to make himself a partv to accepting ancient creeds which have to be successively rc-interpreted in order to make them accord with science and Christian truth. He declares that if ho did accept this creed it would be nothing less thafl a moral surrender on his part, z Ho states that he regards his relation of five years with the church which ho had served as “an object lesson” in the new froedorp with which Christians should disregard denominational lines and work together. We believe Dr. zFosdick is right about this matter, nnd that unless the adherents of Protestant sects can find a way to do away with the barriers that separate them they will lose out, and continue to decline until thev can make a nearer approach to the Christ­ ian ideal of unity. To have fifty-seven varieties of Christian churches, all claiming to worship the same God and lhe same Christ, all claiming to bo or­ ganized for the purpose of serving mankind and each claiming to be right in its doctrines, which implies that all the others must be wrong, is a situa­ tion that cannot long continue to be tolerated in an ago when people think and use common sense in their think"' ing.

X A new type of car ha* stirred the automobile world a* ha* nothing since the abandonment of the “buggy” style of body building. It is the Studebaker Duplex, so called to indicate that it is an open car one moment, and 30 second* later it is an enclosed car. Like all great advances in the industrial arts, it is “so simple in operation, it is a wonder it wasn't thought of before” — — — sides and back; hardwood front. Steel, U-shaped cross beams, six of them, support the waterproofed, duplex fabric top and its lining*. Here is permanent beauty, no sagging tops. But Studebaker, on which the whole vehicle-using world has come to depend for reliability, would not rest on only one rpal contribution to the value given the public. it must give all that engineering ability could devise. Particularly since it-. need .has been growing, year by year, ever since automobiles were made. Striking new features Many people all of the time, and most people part of the time, want an open car—to bring to their riding the fresh crispness of the country air, and a free and untrammeled association with the great outdoor*. So there are offered three distinct models of cars, to meet each of the three fields of demand—the Standard Six, with 113-inch wheelbase and 50 horsepower motor; the Special Six, with 120-inch wheelbase and 65 horsepower motor; the Big Six, most magnificent and luxurious of its products, with 127-inch wheel­ base and 75 horsepower motor. Yet for these same people, the snug comfort of the closed car, shutting out the storm and the wind and the cold, has been at times a necessity. Two cars in one The Studebaker Duplex is both cars in one. Just pull down the roller enclosures concealed in the roof of the car. In 30 seconds th<*open car has been made an enclosed car. No hurried efforts to put up curtains; no hunting for the right one while the storm beat* in; no mixing them up in the dark; np exposure through holes torn in them while trying to obtain, for the emergency the protection given by a closed car —----Just pull down the roller enclosures giving instant enclosed car effect The body is built substantially—sides, comers and roof frame are of steeL The roof has curved steel STANDARD SIX 113-in.

M. JIcCool, head of the soils department at the Michigan Agricultural College.’ These ‘/sugar beet” lime deposits, which may be seen around nil sugar factories, are'usually available at little or no cwt, the factory managers in most cases being glad to have the by­ product hauled away. And yet soil experts assert that tho limo is of very good quality for agricultural use. mak­ ing a cheap yet *ati*fii<-t<>ry material for application on acid soils. “The sugar beet factory limo runs about seventy per cent in composi­ tion,” rays Dr. McCool. “It is there­ fore advisable to apply about twentyfive per cent more of It per acre than one would of ground limestone. “Many sections of.the state need lime badly. The first thing is to de­ termine whether or not the soil is acid, nnd then make arraakem<’nts to secure lime from some nearby sugar factory, where this is possible.” All the sugar beet factory lime is used for agricultural purposes in France, Germany nnd D-niuark, accord­ ing to McCool, who returned recently from an agricultural inspection trip' through Europe. The fall is, of course, n good time to apply the lime, There nrc said to be thousands of tons of the “factory” lime in the slate, and many farmers are making plans to utilize the source of cheap material.

STATE WHEAT KING CROWNED FOR 1924 Branch County Farmer Prodncea 4,000 Bushels of High Quality Crop East Lansing, Oct. 27—With a rec­ ord of having produced more than 4,000 bushel* of exceedingly high grade wheat, Ralph Arbogast, of'Union City, in Branch County, is being hail­ ed ns Michigan’s wheat king for 1024. Those familiar with agricultural condi­ tion* over the state are convinced that Arbognst raised more good wheat than any other man in the state. Eighty-eight acre* of Red Rock, the well known variety developed by the late Professor F. A. Bpragg, of the M. A. C. crops staff, were included in Arbogast’* wheat acreage, twelve sere* more being planted in an experiment with a now bold red wheat which is under trial at the Agricultural College. Forty acre* of the Red Rock yielded 47 bushels per aere, another 40 acre* producing 37.7 bushels to the acre. The Wheat, according to H. C. Rather, secretary of the Michigan Crop Im­ provement Association and extension specialist at M. A. C., wns all nf good quality, weighing more than 60 pound* per bushel, being bright in color, and showing entire freedom from rye. cockle, chess and mixtures or weeds of any kind. This exceptional wheat growing per­ formance is said to be the result not only of the favorable season but also of Mr. Argobast’s cropping system, in which alfalfa nnd clover play an im­ portant part. A liberal use of acid phosphate and the use of pure seed'd/ the most productive varieties are other reasons given for the Branch County man’s success. LAKEVIEW SCHOOL. Our second month of school ended October 24th. Those neither absent nor tardy for two months were Iona Gillespie.

The visitors this month were Doris Gillespie and Carrie Cogswell. Greta Linsea, teacher. PROTECTING THE INVESTMENT. Abraham Lincoln humorously said of a poor neighbor’s assets. “He has a wife and two children which I should think were worth thirty thousand dol­ lar* to any man.” A family is indeed a golden invest­ ment and need* the same protection and care that any investment requires.

In taking n subscription they have accepted a trust; they have done their part to sec that the family investment increased in value through the development of character and a taste for the good things in life.

THE HASTINGS BANNER ALL-AMERICAN THINKING Chicago Tribune: In spite of the temptations of the campaign, Calvin Coolidge cannot forget that he is Presi­ dent of the United States. He, at least, is not engaged in trying to conciliate this class or that at the almost inevi­ table expense of setting one clan against the other. He will not look at America as a political patchwork tom into pieces to make a party flag. The Philadelphia address is a piece of American thinking—all-American think­ ing—founded on a ripe consideration of American history, which illuminates and fortifies Amercan institutions and principles and binds Americans in a ' common national purpox1. Without partisan feeling or rhetoric, Mr. Coolidge has presented his Ameri­ can thought on the current proposals for beginning to abandon the American system of individual initiative and pri­ vate enterprise. Quietly, with no more emphasis than his earnestness conveys, he sets forth the Socialist device of na­ tionalism for what in actual practice it would be—namely: the establishment of a huge bureauocraey, the management of our affairs by government officials and job holders, and therewith the final and uneaeapabln imposition upon us all, faring’ earner, clerk, or million­ aire, of a huge burden of taxes, direct amt indirect. • • When we recall,” says Mr. Coolidge, “the appalling loss and the difficulties in the management of $3,560,000,000 worth Of ships, we shouldd undoubtedly hestiUte about taking on ten times that value la public utilities.” But more telling still is his treatment of the crux of the nationalization pol­ icy, the question of eontrol: “ With rail­ ways and electric utilities under politi­ cal control, the domination of a group would be so firmly intrenched in the whole direction of our government that the privilege of citizenship for the rest of the people would consist largely in the payment of taxes.” COUNTY LINE.

United States Has Over 62 Per Cent of World's 22,204,415 Telephones Few people have any idea of the enormous development of the telephone business in the United States. Of course telephone* are used in many other countries, but in most of them the exchanges are owned and operated by the state. In the United States they are individually owned, or owned by large companies. Dominating them all, of course, is the American Tele­ graph and Telephone Company, which is the owner of the system in use here. Statisties show that there are in the world at the present time 22,904,415 telephones. Of these 14,347,395 are in the United States, or over 62% of them arc in use in this country. _Of the miles of wire used for tele­ graph and telephone lines 37,265,958 miles, or over 60%, are in the United States while in the rest of the world there are 24,162,100 miles. The city having the mo.it telephones per one hundred inhabitants of any city in the world is Omaha, with 28 for each one hundred of the population. The next highest is Stockholm, Sweden, with 20H. Of the highest ten cities, eight of them are in the United States. Of the earnings of telephones throughout the world Great Britain stands the highest with an earning of $61.00 per telephone. Holland eomes next with $60.00 per telephone. Swit­ zerland next with $51. Sweden next with $50. Japan with $49 and the United States $47. This would indeed seem a strange country at the present time if all the convenience, time saving and money saving brought about by the telephone wore to be eliminated, and yet many people can recall the time when the first telephones were installed. That was not so many years ago. BUGBEE CORNERS. Last Week’s Letter.

" | alxe. igan wu voted down by four to one in the state. ___ __ Tho amendment that would have given to Detroit a large increase in its legislative representation was beaten by about three to one in the state, the rural eountiee slaughtering it unmerci­ fully. We believe the people of Mich­ igan can congratulate themsclvee on what they did with the amendments as well as what they did for Coolidge. r PARENT-TEACH­ Prosecutor 6%icr has a majority in the county of about 1.100, overcoming the big Republican majority which was given Coolidge. This would indicate thnt the people are Quite well satisfied with the way in which he has conducted his office. The balance of tho Repub­ lican scanty ticket is elected by large majorities. On the amendments, from the meager returns at hand, wo would say that the school amendment would bo defeated by 500 majority in Barry county. Based op the same returns, we would say that the proposed state income tax amendment was defeated by 3,000 ma­ jority. From the same basis, we would judge that tho amendment to give Detroit a largely increased representation in the 'legislature was snowed under to the tuno of 2,500 or 3,000 votes.

R. H. Loppenthien BARRY COUNTY’S FOREMOST DEPARTMENT �BUILDING ANB LOAN BINS (CoMtinaed from page one.) In Hasting* thia secretarial work is dead by Miss Severance, the Secretary of the Cha pibe r of Commerce and of the Credit Exchange. She simply adds that much to her other duties and the pay is relatively very small. This ar­ rangement saves having eome one give his or her entire time and attention to the work of the secretaryship and bookkeeping. This effects a large rav­ ing in expense. Later on when the institotion has several hundred member* and is carrying on a more extensive building program, it may then be neeesenry to have more' time given to clerical work, but at the present time the work is being very well cared for ami at a very small expense.

The Hastings Build'ng and Loan as­ sociation is responsible for the build­ ing of four new homes this year. It is aiding many tc save money on thoI weekly or monthly payment plan. The savers will get 5 per eent interest on ' their money. The four home builders will-have the chance to pay for their homes by weekly or monthly payments, just as they would pay rent.

The activities of tlie ordinary killjoy we know. The fraternity is out to spoil in the mass all Innocent fun and gayety. But there are other killjoys. These are not organized; they don’t seek to spoil the fun of crowds. Their line Is to take the joy out of individ­ uals, one at a time. And yet they do it without malice or deliberate IntenL But the effect is exactly the same. Some pa rent h are killjoys, observes London Answers. They are too par­ ticular with their children, too careful, too much concerned. A childish game In which angels might join Is brought to a sudden halt, “Bobby, you mustn't do that!" “Elsie, little girls should not tear about as though they were boys. Sit down quietly at once." The Joy Is killed. Uncle gives Tommy a shilling, and Tommy, with great joy, pictures what he will buy. But a killjoy parent In­ sists that the money should be put In the savings box. Little Mona, with great Joy, lays the table for tea. Mother will be so sur­ prised! But mother has a rebuke. “Never do that again, Mona! If you had broken a cup I should have been very upset!" Today, without knowing or meaning It, you may have acted as such a kill­ joy. Have you snubbed anyone? Have you turned against the enthusiasm of one of the young and joyous your older, perhaps cynical, wisdom? Have you laughed in superior fashion at some eager Idea? Then you are a killjoy. Anything should he limited, and that a time and place which darkens the sun of youth or causes shining, eager eyes to cloud or ends Innocent happiness, kills Joy, gnd by and before said conrt: ft 1. nr.A •>. .. ...A those who do the darkening, the cloud­ ing or the like, are killers.

RUTH OWEN DE­ LIGHTED AUDIENCE Community Course Opened Aus­ piciously With Lecture Friday Evening Mrs. Ruth Byran Owen appeared Friday evening at the High school as the opening attraction for the Com­ munity Lecture Course. Mrs. Owen's ability to plena© and entertain, which had been widely ad­ vertised after her appearance nt the Rtate Tonchera’ Association meetings last winter, was well sustained. She has a charming personality, a voice of unusual mellowness and flexi­ bility, of much the same quality as her famous father's, and a story of unusual interest to tell, all of which combine to give an evening of enjoyment and profit to her audiences. Mrs. Owen does not have to renort to the usual tricks of platform orators to hold her audience—funny stories, much gestur­ ing, high-pitched hyperbole, yet the wrapt attention of her listeners is hers at all times. Her topic “Modern Arabian Nights” unfolds as a fascinating story rather than a lecture. It deals with personal experiences in Egypt and Palestine and shows intimate knowledge of the Oriental mind. Mrs. Owen’s husband was with Gen. Allanby’s forces in the fateful Dardanelles campaign and later with him in Jerusalem when the Cross of Christ wns reestablished after many centuries of Moslem rule. Here her experiences as a Red Cross nurse were unusual and many personal incidents lent interest. A fine spirited plea for peace devoid of criticism and marked with generous tolerance for all parties ckwed the address.

When I hear the school bell ringing, Ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, Echoing' over fields and woodland In the golden autumn time, Then I take m/ pipe and fill it Till it overflows the bowl, And wish I was a lad again And I could go to school When I hear the school bell singing, Singing, singing, singing, singing, And I-hear gay children's voices In that happy, merry throng; Then I take my pipe and fill it Till it overflows the bowl, And wish I was a lad again And I could go to school There is music in the old school bell, It guides us on our way; To farmers toiling in the fields It proclaims the of day. To farmers working in the fields Great joy that old bell brings, And they stop work aad listen When the bell begin* to ring. There are happy song* in that old bell I often hear it sing— “My children hero a* sweet and fair As the flower* that bloom in spring”. I don’t feel sad, bat very glad Whon the teacher pulls the string,** And I light my pipe aad listen When the bell begins to sing. Oh, I wish I were a lad again, And I could go to school; I know I'd not he tardy then And obey the teacher’s rules. I know I’d like the teacher, too, I know I’d love her well, Aad evpn now when locks are gray —I long to ring that bell. —V. D. Andrews. ’ PLEASANT VALLEY. Last Week’s Letter.

TChe annual egg pYoduetlon of Mich­ igan could be increased tremendously if poultrymen and farmers generally throughout the state would give head to the importance of breeding laylnr qualities into their flocks. In mongrel flocks, the introduction of male birds of good strain result* in comparatively short time, in bens that are practically standard bred, although not eligible to registration. However even in flocks of good strain, it is important that the poultryman be on the lookout to select the best birds from his own flock for breeding purposes. According to T. 8. Townsley of the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Star tion, high egg production is thought to be a characteristic passed from a High-laying hen to her son and the* through the male to her granddaugh­ ters, rather than being passed on to her daughter*. That means that the males used to head the flock should bo sons of high-laying hens. The beat layer* of the flock, as determined by trapnesting and accurate records should be set aside for breeding purpose*. The rooster used for mating should, if possible, have a pedigree showing that his mother has M trapnest record of more than 500 eggs in one year. If that is not possible, he should be select­ ed from a flock having a high record of egg production. Constantly changing breeds plays havoc with egg production. Choose the breed you like best and stick to it. Then get a vigorous, well-matured cockerel with a good egg pedigree, as previously mentioned. He should have a good head, short beak, good leg* set .wide apart, and straight toes. The bird that crows first, loudly and fre­ quently, is a desirable type. The comb, face, and wattles should be bright rod, the eyes bright and fairly prominent, and the plumage clean and smooth.

Miss Barnes, librarian, is assisting in every way possible to make good reading more popular and beneficial. She has ar­ ranged an exhibit of the best children’s books, and parents, as well «s children are invited to come and see this dirplnv, and learn about the new books as well. Tho teacher* are planning special features for this week, such as book re­ views by the children, discussion of favorite books or stories, dramatiza­ tion of special scenes, impersonations of characters such a* Mother Goose, Robin Hood, Hansel and Grotel, Ara­ bian Nights, etc., compiling quotations from books read, making posters of different events studied about, etc. These are but a few of the man ways in which the value ami necessity of good reading may bo emphasized by both the parents and the teachers. Last Saturday morning, Mrs. H. Maurice Murphy conducted a story hour at the library, telling stories to younger children from the kindergarten through to tho third grade. Next Sat­ urday morning, Nov. 15, at ten o’clock, Miss Mahaffy will tell hero stories to the boys and girls from the third to the sixth grades. The National Association of Book Publishers has sent out a list of recent magazine articles on book selection, part of which wo give below:— "Books as Summer Chums by Hildegarde Hawthorne in July 1923 St. Nicholas. "Books for Boys, a suggestive list” by A. B. DeMille, in English Journal, Nov. 1923. "New Books for Boys nnd Giris’* by Mary Bonner in International Book Review, Nov. 1923 and Mar 1924. "Royal Books for Children” by Montrose J. Moses, in Outlook, Nov. 14, 1923. "Books and Book-Buying” by Ar­ nold "Bennett, in Woman's Home Com­ panion, Feby. 1924. "The Parents’ Bookshelf” in Child Welfare magazine, Dec. 1923 and Jany. 1924. "Tho Place for Books” by S. De­ Brio in Country Life, Nov. 1923. The articles mentioned are but a few of the many fine one* in recent maga­ zines, and if parents wish to be further informed, Miss Barnes or the grade teachers will be able to supply the ma­ terial needed. Ono of the final objectives of Chil­ dren’s Book Week is to obtain a re­ nowed and vital interest in good read­ ing, nnd a library card in tho hands of every child over eight years old. PRAIRIEVILLE MAN EXPIRES SUDDENLY Death Believed Due to Shock When Small Limb Struck His Head An accident with fatal result oc­ curred on tho farm of Homer Flower, in Prairieville township, on Wednesday afternoon last, the victim being John Francisco, fifty years of age and a resi­ dent of that township all his life. Mr. Francisco leaves a wife and six chil­ dren. The circumstances, as given to us, are as follows: Mr. Francisco was cutting a large tree in the woods on the Flower farm. As the tree foil, it struck a smaller tree, breaking off one of the limbs of the smaller tree, the limb falling sever­ al feet, tho butt of the limb striking Mr. Francisco on tho head. The skull was not crushed, nor was any bene broken. Tho limb was not a large oae; and the only evidence of injury to Mr. Francisco that could be seen was a little red spot on his forehead, where the limb evidently struck him. After he was hit by the limb, he got up on his feet, but almost immediately fell to the ground and expired. Mr. Francisco had suffered a good deal of late from heart trouble. It is believed that the shock, resulting from the falling limb striking him on his forehead, affected his heart to such aa extent as to result ia his death. AN APPRECIATION.

Lepard PROPRIETORS COL. W. H. COUCH, Auctioneer. Wm. C. McCartpey, Clerk �FAGE THE HASTINGS BANNER, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1W4 Barry County Farm Bureau Gather Grafting Wood This Foil. Year after year we find grower* wishing they had cut cion wood in the fall or early winter. Many a man diaoovers rodent girdling of bin trees only when it is too late to gather'cion wood suitable for treating the injuries. This is the annual story. This year an additional factor should be' taken into account. The lateness of the season has prolonged growth to *ueh an extent that many tree* will $r<> into winter so immature that they will be in grave danger of injury even from moderate cold weather. This injury is likely to affect the lower part of the trunk. For -thia, bridge grafting is just as necessary as it is for rodent girdling. This will, ob­ viously, involve more and longer cion wood. Finally, immaturity and cold weather combined ean easily make good eion wood scarce. It may be killed out­ right or it may be injured only in the pith so that it deceives the grower who may set it and then spend a year won­ dering why his grafts didn’t grow. In short then, there is possibility of unusual need of cion wood next spring and of unusual scarcity in the same commodity, especially of the long growths often necessary in bridge grafting. Every fruit grower would do well to gather the 1925 grafting wood and label it as soon as the leave* have felteo^bury it on the north side of a building in well drained soil where it will remain dormant until early numH. A. Cardinoil, Extension Pomologirt. The educational display of tho Mich­ igan Agricultural College at the Inter­ national Grain and Hay ehow in Chi­ cago, November 29th to December 6th, will be staged under the direction of C. R.

Preparations For International Show. Tho management of Ahe Internation­ al Live Stock Exposition is ..making great preparations for tho staging oftho quarter-centennial celebration «f this world-famous educational institu­ tion at the Chicago Union Stock Yanis, November 29th to December 6th. From advance indications, this will be the largest gathering of tho agricultural interests of America ever brought to­ gether and many special occasion* will mark this history-making event. In commemoration of the impor­ tance of this event, Congress, by special act, has authorized the United States Department of Agriculture to award official medals to all winners of first prizes and championships in the live stock competitions nt the coming show. The Department itself will fill an entire exhibit hall with n display of its various line* of activity. Presi­ dent Coolidge nnd other high govern­ ment officials are expected to be pres ent during the Exposition.

It would not be wise for u« to ponnit them to come to or reside in the United States. This mat­ ter will never be •cttlcd until it i« settled right; nnd it ean be Bottled ' right without insulting Japan, ns con­ gress did when it ignored the request of both the President end tho Secre­ tary of State that the matter be left in their hands to settle. The foreign relations of this country ought to be­ long to the executive department of tho government, so-far as details of matters are concerned. Wo hope that President Coolidge may bo authorized to re-open this matter and have it ad­ justed -in an amicable way, as wc fool certain it con ho. Wo hope the next congress, nnd wc believe it will, may follow tho sugges­ tions of that financial genius who is the Secretary of the Treasury in his recommendation for income tax reduc­ tion. Wc believe that Secretary Mel­ lon was right, nnd that congress in not following his suggestions, has driven billions of money into investment in tax-exempt securities, instead of hav­ ing it used in helping our industries nnd transportation lines to expand ns they should. If congress will have the good judgment to follow the advice of this expert, nnd give the country n scientific regulation of our income tax, it will contribute much to the prosper­ ity of the country. Furthermore, Secretary Mellon is in favor of as rapid a retirement of the public debt ns enn bo made, in order that the burden of federal taxes may be reduced as rnpiTlly as possible. At tho present time it takes over nine hundred millions of dollars just to pay the interest on tho public debt. If congress will support Secretary Mellon nnd if the country will keep Coolidge nt the helm and Mellon at tho head of tho Treasury department for eight years, our national debt will be brought j down to less than fifteen billions of I dollars in that time, and tho annual interest rate will Iw less than half of what it is today. Both the Prcei<h*nt nnd the Secretary of the Treasury can bo relied upon to economize to the last penny in govern; inent expenditures, to the end that the I people may Ire relieved from the pres­ ent burden of taxation, which is bear­ ing heavily upon all tho people. For i lot no one imagine that just tho people who pay tho income taxes bear all tho ■ burden: because everybody knows that*, these income taxes are very largely passed on to the people engaged In ' productive industries. Therefore, the , i laboring people, farmers, professional ■ men and nil classes arc directly inter1 estod in a reduction of the income tax . nnd a rapid retirement of tho public debt. Wo also expect that President Cool- < idge will do what is possible to aid the ( farming industry of this country. This ' cannot bo done by resorting tn govern­ ment purr-hnse and sale of farm pro­ duce nt specified prices, fixed by the government. That never hns worked! and we do not believe it will work] now. But the government can inter-f cst itself in finding foreign markets for the products of the farm, nn<l it | can interest itself in securing lower | transportation rates, and it ought to I do thesc'things for there ran he no permanent prosperity in the United States when agriculture is doprc-sscd, as it has been since the World War. I It can be taken for granted that, for! I the benefit of laboring men, as well as for the good of thin country,*President I Coolidge will insist upon the jimintennnee of a protective tariff. The reason for such a tariff has never been better J stated than it was by Abraham Lincoln when ho said in substance: “When I I pay a dollar for a product made in I some European country, I have the product, but the European has my dol­ lar. Whbn I Uuy h product made in America with my dollar, I have the product and nn American has the dol­ lar nnd ho can use it here where it will help other Americans, while the European will use the dollar to help other Europeans.” We believe that there are ahead of the United States ns least four years of prosperous times. It will not-bc -ns prosperous ns it would be if European countries were not still suffering from the results of the World war. But as Europe gradually recovers, their pros­ perity will grow nnd ours will grow, not only n« a result of that, but also by the intensive development of our own country. CHIDESTER DISTRICT.

How easy it is to deslsre thnt there is “a ring” in politics, and to arouse prejudice Tn certain quarters by making such a claim. The Charlotte Tribune, of recent date has a very sensible arti­ cle with reference to an alleged ‘•Char­ lotte ring” that we think fits the ease 1n all other counties. For the same accusation is made in every county. The Tribune says: "It is unfortunate that during the campaign just past, an endeavor was made by some to «etir np antagonism between Charlotte and tho balance of the county by attempting to claim that the Charlotte "ring” was trying to hog the politic* of tho county, and that the "ring” was responsible for the candidacy of Speneer Cribb. "If Eaton Rapids has a "ring,” if Bellevue has a “ring”, if Grand Ledge nnd tho other cities and towns of the county have “rings", then probably Charlotte is also guilty. In every town there are a certain few -who can be de­ pended upon to do things. If a drive is to bo made for funds for tho Red Cross, if a factory proposition is to bo put over, if a community celebra­ tion is to be staged, a certain few ean be depended upon to do tho work.

Fellows Hardware Co The Larger Service The larger service is not typified by the store­ keeper who delivered a spool of cotton in a five-ton truck maimed by three men. Nor is it typified by the man who attempts to unload the contents of a freight car with a market basket The larger service consists of giving the peo­ ple what they want, when they want itat a minimum cost of time, labor and money. This, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) does. Cost and waste are closely related. Cost is controlled and waste is eliminated by the same factors — capable management and in­ tensive organization. . The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has lowered consistently its manufacturing costs by creating new and useful products from that residue of petroleum which had been ack­ nowledged as waste. Each new product created has been made to L.—.... ---- ' >?-- _£ * 1 base—crude petroleilm. The benefits accruing from this economy have been passed to the consumer in lower prices and improved service. Because the business of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is balanced to a fine point there is no alack season. A shut down m its manufacturing plants seldom occurs. There is no waste effort or unnecessary overhead ex­ pense to be absorbed. Products flow through the manufacturing channels of this Company uninterruptedly and are sold at natural — not artificially maintained—prices. Such a condition in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is not a circumstance, it is a policy —for experience has demonstrated that man­ ufacturing cost, selling price and quantity production are inseparable. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is in­ spired by a determination to render the most comprehensive service — the larger service. This means a tremendous turnover, with a small profit per unit of sale. - . It is on this foundation that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has become one of the truly great institutions of America — a con­ structive force for good — and an influencing factor in solving problems clbsely related to the social and economic welfare of the thirty millions of people in the Middle West Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.

These are government statistics. Reduced to comparative statistic*, this means that nt the present time 72 men and women out of each 100,000 of our population aro being Mfportcd by their commun­ ities, as compare.! with 92 per 100,000 in 1910. This take* into account the growth in population in the fourteen year*. These ere extremely low figures, but low as they are, the most encourage ing fact is that the number of people supported in almshouses byxtho public is rapidly decreasing. There are many town* and counties in this country which have do poor-houses at all, be­ cause there arc no candidates for ad­ mission. In other*, such buildings arc very sparsely populated. Isn’t it strange that in the face of such a condition as that Mr. LaFollettc should have gone up and down tho country telling tho people that condi­ tions in the United States have been going from bod to worse, and wore headed for still worse things! Another thing that will be encourag­ ing is that drug addiction is rapidly decreasing in tho United States, not­ withstanding all that we hear to the contrary about it. Now efforts are made to stop the traffic so that we hear about the violations, while only a few years ago no effort in that direction was being made. During the progress of the selective draft during the war, it was claimed that ”500,000 drug ad­ dicts would be found among the men examined for war service.’* As a mat­ ter of fact, only 3,284 were found among the 3,500,000 men who were ex­ amined. Applying these same figure* to the 1920 census, the present estimate of drug addicts in the entire country is short of 100,000 people. Health ex­ perts who have made nn exhaustive study of the matter, believe a maxi­ mum would be 150,000 at the present time. The same authorities claim that in 1900, with a much smaller popula­ tion, there were 264,000 of such drag addicts. It was claimed when the Volstead act was passed that it would result in a great increase in the number of drug addicts in this country. The very re­ verse is the faet. No doubt but that the prohibition of the traffic in intoxi­ cating liquors had much to do with the rapid decline in the number of pauper* maintained at public expense in poor­ houses as well ns the decline in number of drug addicts.

M. McCool, head of the soils department at the Mich­ igan Agricultural College. Those 1 ‘sugar bort” limo deposits which may be aecn around all sugar factories, are usually available at little or no cost, tho factory managers in most case* being glad to have the by-product hauled away. And yet soil experts assert that the limo is of very good quality for agricultural use, mak­ ing a cheap yet mt hfnetory material fof application on Mid soils. “The sugar beet factory lime runs about seventy per cent in composition,” says Dr. McCool. “It is therefore ad­ visable to apply about twenty-five per cent more of it per ncro than one would of ground limestone. “Many section* of the state noc<lj lime badly. The firs: thing is to deter-1, mine whether or not the soil ia ackl. ! and then make amuigcnumts to secure J IS lime’ from nearby sugar factory, where Kj this is possible.”, I||U AH the sugar beet factory lime is!g> used for agricultural purposes in jiH France, Germany and Denmark, accord- Sg ing to McCool, who returned recently from on agricultural inspection tripjljll through Europe. |s The fall is, of coarse. a good time to K* apply the lime. There arc said tv be MJ thousand* of tons of tho “factory” lime in the state, nnd many farmers Iflj are making plans to utilize the source of cheap material.

The matter was referred to the Fire committee for investigation aad if they favor aa ordinance to govern the matter there ■will undoubtedly be one framed. Numerous complaints have been made to the' council of the excessive speed of passenger trains through this city. The council does not wish to be drastic in dealing with such complaints but feel* that they should be investigated. The matter has, therefore, been re­ ferred to the Public Safety committee and to the city attorney for investiga­ tion and suggestions for further action to be taken. The council voted Friday evening to notify tho Consumer* Power Co. to clean the boulevard lights and to re­ pair other street lights in this city. We believe any one who ha* noticed the feeble glimmer that has been com­ ing from the boulevard lights in re­ cent evenings, will not only want the -’lobes cleaned but the lamps renewed. We do not know whether this is tho business of the council or the Consum­ ers Power Co. It ought to be somedy's hurixrrs* to renew the tamps before they get so dim that it is im­ possible to get efficient lighting from them.

Re-' freshments were served and a delightful afternoon enjoyed. were all forcibly imprereed upon the jury. But the wily Prosecutor saved Ms trump card for the closing, and it would have been mighty successful if the dog had only kept still, as that plea was calculated to bring tears to the eyes of a east-iron statue. No stenographic report of tho Prosecutor’s eloriag words are available, but after calling attention to the intelligence and good looks of the jnry, and thank lag them for the very close attention they had given the case, wo presume Kim’s fiowera closing was something after this faaMon:— "Gentlemen of the Jtary—Do? you know that a dog is the best friend * man has in this world! Thoe^-whom he has reared with loving earo may turn against hire; those who are nearost and dearest may prove ungrateful; those whom he trust* with his happi­ ness and good same may turn traitor to the faith. The savings of a life time may take wings and fly awnv just when he needs it most. Man's repu­ tation may be sacrificed in an ill con­ sidered moment. Friends who do him honor when the financial sky ta bright are often the first ones to shoot the poisoned arrows of maHeo and ill-will when dark elouds hover around his head. In this selfish world the one absolutely loyal and unflinching friend that ho has, never faltering in loving devotion; never ungrateful; the one friend who never deserts him—is hl* dog. If he can be near his master he will sleep on the cold ground and kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He remains true and constant when all other friends desert, and guards the ■silent sleep of a panper as if he were a prince. When reputation has gnne, when wealth has departed, he is as tree and constant in his devotion as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If misfortune drives his master into the world as an outcast, shnnned by former friends in brighter days, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than to accompany him and guard him and save him from harm. And at last when the final hour has come, and death ha* his master in its embrace, and his body is lowered into the cold, cold ground, other friends mav pursue their wny but there by the side of the grave his dog will be found, faithful even to the end.” Tho moet eloquent closing words were never uttered because of an unnaual incident. Tears were flowing down the cheek* of the sympathetic jurymen like corn flakes over at a food factory. And even the dog seemed to he deeply touched by the eloquent tribute, because just as the Prosecutor had reached tho very height of his sympathetic appeal, the hound darted out from under a near-by table and sitting on his haunches in the middle of the court room, let oat a couple of those long, dismal howl*—''Oh-o-o-o” just as a hound will. Tbe case was lost right there, and fteo sympathetic sobs of the previous moment gave way to uproarion* laugh­ ter, as the ridiculous ride of the inci­ dent presented itself, and the jury de­ rided for the defendant deeplte that wart with two hairs oa it.

Up in Ogemaw County Circuit Judge Guy E. Smith made a decision that will be of interest to our readers. It seems that the St. Helens Shooting Club brought an injunction suit against Wm. M. Mogle to restrain him from shoot­ ing on the waters of lake St. Helen, or renting boats to anyone for that pur­ pose. The St. Helens Shooting Club, it seems has a membership of 22 men liv­ ing in Monroe, Flint, Lapeer and Grayling, and claim to own exclusive rights in perpetuity, on the waters find marshes of lake St. Helen by- virtue of a loose from the St. Helens Develop­ ment Co., dated in 1904, granting these rights. It was shown that the Develop­ ment Co., when the lease was made, owned all the land around the lake, tho lake itself covering about 2500 neres, together with the outlet of the An Sablo river, tho outlet forming a bayou for more than a mile, which is claimed to be one of the best duck­ shooting spots in the state. The case was contested on two principal grounds. First—that tho lease should be de­ clared ’/cid because it was not signed bv the club, thereby lacking mutuality and not binding on tho club, which agreed to pay an annual rental of 1200. Second—that the lease should be de­ clared void, because it was unconscion­ able and against publie policy, in that tho Development Co did not have power to bind future grantees under it in perpetuity. On tho first point tho Court held that tho lease was not void as lacking mu­ tuality by reason of the Club's not having signed it. The defendant Mogle owns land bordering on the lake and regarding the second point the Court ruled that Mogle should not be denied the right to shoot on his own property; that tho Development Co. might lease its own rights, but could not bind its successor erantecs in perpetuity. Ho further held that the lease was unconscionable j and against public policy that any lease should hold against future gen­ erations, commenting that it waa un­ thinkable that such a lease should pro­ tect a few in the enjoyment of rights and privileges against all posterity! Judge Smith’s decision will bo pleas­ ing to a great many sportsmen’s or­ ganisations, who have for a long time contended that the lakes and streams of Michigan should be open to the 1 public, tinder 'Wbo conservation rules and regulations. It is probable that the ease will go to the Supremo Court for final decision. FA« SEE WINDOW DISPLAYS SEE WINDOWS DISPLAYS Boys!

She dearly loves these children, whether they come from the avenues or the alleys. It matters not to her. They are all replicas of God'» masterstroke, the humnn being. Her task is working among thorn as a mis­ sionary, that they may have healthy minds in sound bodies and favorable surroundings to help fit them for the battle of life. Twenty-two years have elapsed since the school nurse was first introduced into the system. Has she been a suc­ cess f All educators are agreed that she has. They assert that she is the most valuable factor in the whole scheme of school medical inspeeetion, because she is the link that binds to­ gether home and school. She helps the doctor examine the children and knows just what he and the teaeher think is wrong. It may be adenoids, which makes the child heavy and dull and retards it* growth nnd progress. It may be defective teeth, or defective eyesight, or poor posture, or diseased tonsils that make the child undersized and prevent his normal gain. There are many things she knows about the children, nnd she is engcr for mothers to visit her as well ns to visit them. In recent years the health of chil­ dren han been recognized as an indis­ pensable foundation for successful, edu­ cated citizens.

Just What Do We Mean By “Making the World Safe for Democracy”? W0ULD we all agree that it would mean that such a world must be one in which each man’s good would be the concern of all—a world in which no human being would wish to harm another by word or deed, by influence or example, but would seek his neighbor’s good as sjncerely as his own— a world in which nations would never consider a resort to arms, but would seek and find their own good in the common good of all other nations? How Can the World Be Made Safe for Democracy? Education alone cannot do it. Ten years ago the most highly educated people on earth—a people who had made the greatest ad­ vances in science—set out to conquer the world by a merciless war, whose barbaric cruelty and frightfulness eclipsed the savagery of all previous wars. A system of morals will never do it, else would China be the world’s leader today instead of a national nonentity. Confucius gave the Chinese a wonderful system of morals. It did not save them from the most stupid follies as a people—helpless to help themselves or to serve others. Moses gave the Jews an ideal system of morals but it did not save them from becoming the narrow, bigoted persecutors of the Christ They are today a people without a country and destitute of moral influence in the world as a people. What Can Make the World Safe for Democ­ racy and Democracy Safe for the World ? s i Just one thing can do that—and that is Christ’s program for mak­ ing this earth a World of Friendly Men and Women, ruled by the SPIRIT of a Friendly God, whom Jesus taught us to call “Our Father.” His is a program of Peace, and friendly Good-Will among His chil­ dren. There are enough race hatreds, national envies and economic frictions in the world this minute to cause another World war. Her­ bert Hoover has recently declared that another such a war would spell the downfall of civilization, and with it would perish Democracy which Christ taught and consistently lived. All race hatred, and other hatreds, all envy and jealousy, will disappear and all occasion for war when men and nations all join in a Christian Brotherhood. . When Is a Man or Woman Helping to Make the World Safe for Democracy? When and only when he or she accepts Christ’s program for making this a world of friendly men and women, and sincerely helps Him to put His program across. Each one of us has a personal responsibility in that matter. Can any one consistently say that a program of “Peace on Earth, Good Will toward. Men” is of no concern to him? Christ excluded no one, nor did he excuse any one, from shar­ ing in His plans and His program for making this old world a world of friendly men and women. Are Christ and His program worthy of support? Can any man declare them unworthy? How would others rate him or how would he rate him­ self if he called Jesus unworthy or disapproved of His program? The Organized Means to Carry Out HIS Program Is the Christian Church Christ Himself commissioned the Christian church, composed of those who be­ lieve in Him and His program, to be the organized means for putting across His program for a real democracy in politics and religion, a real democracy in the home, the neighborhood, the state and nation. But the church can only carry out its great commission in direct proportion to the faith in and the faithfulness of its supporters to that program and in its divine Author. Their co-operative efforts and the aid of the Spirit acting through them must bring that great democracy of the Kingdom of Heaven to this, our earth. The fact that the membership of the church is human implies imperfection, which was found also^n the chosen Twelve—qne of whom was a thief and a be­ trayer, another the possessor of a quick temper, another on a trying occasion lied and swore, and all of them coveted chief places, and all were deserters when the Master needed them most. But their imperfections did not prevent them from be­ ing used by the Spirit of God for the most remarkable work this world has ever known. The Master can still use imperfect people in carrying out His program. If any one remains outside of the church because of imperfections in its members is he reasonable or fair? Does he move out of his neighborhood, quit his lodge or any other organization to which he belongs because of imperfections in others? Christ’s program has never called for the instantaneous or the miraculous perfection of the individual, but is to ultimate in a perfected character by growth and develop­ ment under the guidance of His Spirit. The Individual’s Part In Helping Christ’s Program of Good Will to Win Ought not every man who desires good will and friendliness from others to be willing to give them in the way which Christ so plainly pointed out—by helping His church in putting His program across? If YOU do not feel that you can join the church, ought you not at the very least to attend its services and help to support its work? In these days of Good Roads and Automobiles, considerable distances are no bar to church attendance. If you think the church nearest you is too narrow, just drive a little farther. A farmer will go to East Lansing or Chicago or attend an institute to learn how to raise profitable pigs, calves and chickens; and a business man or a laboring man does not consider distance when associations meet or when pleasure calls. Are these more important than character-building in the young and old, or helping to add what one can to sincere friendship and good will, which will be a blessing to every home, every neighborhood, every city, every nation and to the whole wide world? Think This Over, and Think it Through As Its Importance to Others and to Your Own Self Well Deserves. If You Shall Do That, Next Sunday Will Find You Attending Some Church. Get the Church-Attending Habit. It will Help You and It Will Help the Church to Put Across a Real Program of Community Friendliness and Good Will That Will Finally Encircle Our World. THE CHURCHES OF HASTINGS INVITE YOU NEXT SUNDAY AND EVERY SUNDAY TO ATTEND THEIR SERVICES �THZ HARTING* BANNER, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1824 Battle Creek Saturday and Bunday. ltrs.

To attend to the wants of every customer in such a cheerful and courteous manner as to make him or her feel assured of our deep appreciation for the patronage accorded us. , 3rd. To render a service in excess of that which is expected of us. We believe with such a purpose we are justified in extending an invitation to you to make this bank your bank.* / • We want yoa to feel at home here. We wanfjo render a real service to you. We want to inspire and merit your confidence. We want to show our appreciation. much emphasis on vocational training. It is necessary for men to know the practical side of life and be able to earn a living. We want to have masters of our material resources. But it is also necessary to have a broad and liberal culture that will enable men to think and know how to live after they have earned a living. An educated fool is a sorry spectacle, bnt he is not nearly so dangerous to society as a rich fool. We want neither in this country. We want the educated to know how to work and the rich to know how to think. Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States of America, do designate November 17th to 23d, inclusive, as American Educa­ tion Week. I urge that the citizens do all they can to advance the inter­ ests of education. It is especially recommended that the Governors of the States iwuc proclamations empha­ sizing the services rendered by their educational institutions, and calling upon their people to observe the oc­ casion by appropriate action. Further, I urge that all civil officers whose duties relate to education, and all per­ sons connected with the profeeaion of teaching, exert themselves to diffuse information concerning the condition and needs of the schools and to en­ hance appreciation of the value of education. Patriotic, eivic, religious, social and other organizations could contribute by conducting meetings and demonstrations to promote the desire for knowledge. Ministers of religion and members of the press arc asked to exercise the means within their power to increase enthusiasm for educational advancement and to stimulate zeal for enlightened citizenship. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to bo affixed.

No child or youth in tho United States need be deprived of the benefits of education suited to his ago and degree of advancement. Nevertheless, either through negli­ gence or because of unfortunate cir­ cumstances which might be controlled with sufficient effort, large numbers of children do not receive the full prepara­ tion for their life’s work to which they are justly entitled. Many have reached maturity without even the rudiments of education. This condition demands the solici­ tude of al] patriotic citizens. It in­ volves not onjy tho persons immediate­ ly concerned and the communities in which they live, but the Nation itself, for the welfare of the country depends upon the character and the intelligence of those who cast the ballots. Education has coma to be nearer to tho hearts of the American people than any other single public interest. The plan of maintaining educational insti­ tutions from public funds did not or­ iginally prevail in most of the States, and even where it was in use it was but feebly developed in the early days of tho Republic. That plan did not arise spontaneously in the minds of all eitizena It was only when the sugges­ tion camo forcefully, convincingly, and repeatedly from a few pioneers that popular interest was fully aroused.

A Virginia business man thus wrote to that paper, just before election, telling how he, as well as most forward-look­ ing business men in the south, were I very anxious for th* election of Coollidge, but nevertheless voted against him because of prejudices growing out of the Civil war. The south has been making great strides in manufacturing in recent year*, and has especially developed a great cotton toxtilo industry. There are also other big manufacturing in­ dustries carried on south of the Mason and Dixon Hne. The proprietors of nearly all of these feel that they must be governed by the regular party tradi­ tions thht incline them to vote a cer­ tain ticket, without regard to any other considerations, and no matter if their good sense tells them that the op­ position ticket is the one they ought to vote. The last two elections have shown, or ought to have shown, tho south that this procedure will really result in making the south as sectional as it was ' during the Civil war. Until its pooI pie can rise above their prejudices and I vote their convictions, regardless of I party, they will not measure up to the | true spirit of America. The fact that Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and West Virginia all gave good major­ ities for Coolidge shows that the bor­ der states of the southland are getting weaned from their political idols. There still remains, however, an utter­ ly immobile imputation in the south, politically •peaking, who fed con­ strained to vote a certain ticket, whether or no, and roly upon the north to save tho country from the disas­ trous results which would follow their* action if their own party succeeded.) The south is essentially conservative. It never was and never wiD be radi­ cal. It ought not to be mo hide-bound iu its conservatism as to make a great majority of its people vote against their own conviction* of what is best for the whole country just because of feeling* which grew out of a war which ended nearly 60 years ago.

Davis, Federal Prohibition Director for this state. The report covers the period from June 11, 1921, to September 11, 1934. It shows that the main sources for ob­ taining genuine liquor in this country have been largely cut off. This has caused bootleggers to turn to smuggling but with the Coast Guard rapidly getting thio situation in control, the respect for obtaining liquor from over­ seas is growing dimmer daily. B. A. Haynes, Federal Prohibition Commissioner, said that the more gen­ eral realization that over 90 per eent of the so-called bootleg liquor being sold is poisonous, was also a contribut­ ing factor in bringing about victory of law and order over the outlawed liquor traffickers. “Jail sentences,” said Mr. Haynes, “are proving the real deterrent to law breaking. The violator may pay a fine nnd continue business in a different locality under a different name, until again apprehended. But when he is pat in jail his activities are at an end, bis income stops, and he has an oppor­ tunity to reflect upon the importance of upholding the Constitution.*’ Com­ missioner Haynes continued: “Cooperation between Federal and State authorities is improving. All forces for upholding law and order should cooperate. More than 177,000 arrests have been made by the Federal authorities during the last three yean. During the same period violators have been sentenced in Federal courts to serve an aggregate of nearly 7,000 years. More than 400,000 stills and parts of stills and about 39,000,000 gallons of distilled spirits, malt liquors, wine, etc., have been seized during the last three yean. A total of 11,077 automobiles and 444 boats and launches have been captured. “During this period more than 138,200 criminal eases have been taken to Federal Courts. Of this number, over 120,000 have been terminated, result­ ing in more than 94,300 convictions. “Thousands of other cases have been turned into local courts, of which there is no complete record. Fines of nearly $18,000,000 have been imposed, over $12,300,000 of which has actually been collected and turned into the United States Treasury. Last year alone, the fines, forfeitures, etc., im­ posed totaled over $7,000,000, of which more than $5,000,000 has already been collected. In addition, about $1,000,000 was paid by brewers during the year in compromise of civil liabilities. Tax penalty figures arc not yet com­ piled, but will swell the total collection considerably, “The injunction, or 'padlock* is an­ other effective weapon. Injunction eases have been instituted in both Fed­ eral and State courts. Since July, 1922, over 4,000 such cases have been instituted. In more than 3,200 cases injunctions were granted, over 2,650 of which have been made permanent. Particular attention has been devoted to securing injunctions in brewery cases. About 180 such cases have been instituted against breweries. Of those granted, 72 have been made permanent and 29 breweries have been actually closed. “Many important cases have been prosecuted under the provisions of the Criminal Code for conspiracy to violate the law. The heaviest penalty ever imposed in any one ease was for con­ spiracy and involved a fine of $21,000 end a sentence of 20 years in jail “A well organized permit system has effectively curbed the leak from bonded warehouses. There has been a reduetion in withdrawals of about 7,000,000 gallons from that in 1921, the first fiscal dry year. Although more industrial alcohol is being used legtimately now than over, due to ex­ pansion in the volume of legitimate nlcohol-uxing industries, diversions to the bootleg trade are decreasing. It is estimated that less than 10 per cent of the entire production is involved in illegal transactio ns, a substantial quan­ tity of which is laUr seized and destroyed. “An extreme reduction in the use of medicinal wines as a buvoroge has re­ sulted from medicating the wine, ren­ dering medicinal preparations contain­ ing wine unfit for beverage use. With­ drawals of wine during the last year were only a little over 4,000,000 gal­ lons, over half of which was used for sacramental purposes. “Only about 19 per cent of the ap­ plications for importation of wine dur­ ing the last year were approved, all of which was for /medicinal or manu­ facturing purposes. The practice of smuggling exported whiskey back into! this country has been practically elim­ inated by curtailing exportation. Of the application* for exportation of -whiskey in the amount of over $4,400,000 gallons during the last year, only about 4 per cent were approved, and none'of the whiskey shipped to Cana­ da.” James B. Davis, Federal Prohibition Director for the State of Michigan stated that during the period of two years from July 1, 1922, to July 1, 1924, the work of the Federal Prohibition Department in this state under his direction may be summarized as fol­ lows: F 2143 Prohibition Cases; 2099 Arrests; 305 Automobiles seized; 133 boats seized; 261 stills seized; 133,522 14 gallons intoxicating liquors seized, in­ cluding. whiskey, beer, wine and alco­ hol; 144,225 gallons of whiskey nuwh seized; $439,W.42 in fines and taxes collected; $2^83,816.69; special taxes assessed.

In Touch With Us Today and Insure Better Profits From Your Hem Get INDISPUTABLE FACTS PROVED THE CONTRARY Our Foreign Trade Steadily In­ creases Under Our Pro­ tective Tariff It will bo remembered that the demo­ cratic candidate for thj presidency, is the recent campaign, strongly denounc­ ed the protective tariff, under which our country b working at the present time. He insisted that it was a burinoaskillcr, and that it was isolating the United States from the rest of the world, destroying our foreign trade and could not fail to work harm to the business of this country. Even while Mr. Davis was making those speeches in October, the facts were telling nn altogether different story. During the month of October, tho exports of this country reached the huge total of *527,000,000, the largest amount in any one month since January 1921. The total was considerably more than double the average in 1913, the last pre-war year. Imports in October increased to a total of *310,000,000. The excess of exports, therefore, reached a tStal of *217,000.000. Tho export trade of the United States has been steadily in­ creasing during tho past year under tho tariff which Mr. Davis so strongly denounced. For the ten months end­ ing November 1st, tho exports were *3.651,682,993, an increase of *312,000,000 above tho previous year. We would say that facts are proving tho wisdom of the protective policy of this country, and wo believe the re­ sults of tho November election show that tho people of this country are wrii grounded in their conviction that a protective tariff is an essential part of the fiscal policy of this country.

It will be a dap when broken family circles will be reunited through the presence of sons, daughters, relatives and dear friends who are away at school or college, or who have gone out in the world to make’a place for themselves. Thanksgiving should always be one of those special occasions when the cares and annoyances that surround us should be laid asidein the joys of living—especially in such a wonderful age as this. May the blessings of life, the pleasures ofgood fel­ lowship, the spirit of thankfulness that we are privileged to enjoy Ufa and the companionship of friends and those we love, be present in every home. ------ -------- Shankagiuing Ugmn ©ur By the President of the United States —A Proclamation: We approach that season of the year when it has been the custom for the American people to give thanks for tho good fortune which the bounty of Providence, through the generosity of nature has visited upon them. It is altogether a good custom. It has tho sanction of antiquity and the approba­ tion of our religious convictions. lu acknowledging the receipt of Divine favor, in •ontemplating the blessings which have been bestowed upon us, we shall reveal the spiritual strength of the nation. The year has been marked by a con­ tinuation of peace whereby our county has entered into a relationship of bet­ ter understanding with all the other nations of the earth. Ways have been revealed to us by which we could per­ form v(»ry groat service through the giving of friendly counsel, through the extension of financial assistance, and through the exercise of the spirit oineighborly kindliness to less favored peoples. We should give thanks for the power which has been given into our keeping, with which we have been ' able to render these services to the rest of mankind. At home we have continually had an improving state of public health, the production of our industries has been large and our harvests have been boun­ tiful. Wo have been remarkably free from disorder and remarkably success­ ful in all those pursuits which flourish during a state of domestic peace. An abundant prosperity has overspread tho O King of kings, O Lord of hosts, whose throne is lifted high Above the nations of tho earth, the armies of the sky, Tho spirits of the perfected may give their nobler songs; And we, thy children, worship thee, to whom all praise belongs. Jlrnriamaium land. We shall do well to accept these favors and bounties with a becoming humility and dedicate them to the serv­ ice of the righteous cause of the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. As tho nation has prospered let all the people show that they are worthy to prosper, by rodedicating America to the sen-ice of God and man. Therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, presi­ dent of the United States, have set apart the twestyweventh day of No­ vember as a day of thanksgiving. I recommend that the people gather in their places of worship and at the family altars and offer up their thanks for the goodness which has been shown to them in such a multitude yf ways. Especially, I urge them to supplicate to the Throne of Grace that they may gather strength from their tribulations, that they may gain humility from their victories, that they may bear without complaining tho burdens that shall bo placed upon them, and that they may Be increasingly worthy in all ways of tho blessings that shall come to them. In witness whereof I have hereunto sot my hand and caused to bo affixed tho great seal of the United States. Done at tho city of Washington, this fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, and of the Independ­ ence of the United States, the one hun­ dred and forty-ninth.

(Snnprnnr Thanksgiving Day this year should mean much to the American people. We are blessed .with a reasonable de­ gree of prosperity. 4pd the outlook for the future is encouraging. In spite of the jnany handicaps un­ der which our governmental operations are carried on, uai n a- whole, are making steady advances in the causo of good government. The pro­ gressive spirit which they repeatedly manifest in relation to the public serv­ ice demonstrates their faith in Ameri­ can institutions and the stability of constitutional government. For these great blessings and the many other good things that are ours, it is most fitting that we should render united thanks to Almighty God, the giver of all good. Therefore, in pursuance of our time honored custom and in accordance with the proclamation issued by the Presi­ dent of tho United States and by vir­ tue of the authority vested in me as governor of Michigan, I hereby desig­ nate Thursday, November 27, 1924, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer.

ENRICHING COM­ MUNITY FAITH I Recently w*' told how necessary it Is for the Church to make known to it­ self and to the world how deep and profound is the unity which really does exist in the ftkh of tie followers of Jcsnz Christ. We have all had so much to say about our denominational nnd theological differences and have held ourselves apart in so much of oflr Christian worship and activity, that there is acute need that the people of every community eome to know how very much its various churches and Christian groups have in common. The churches need this for their own sake. But much more do the people outside of the churches need to be made clearly to understand how agreed these churches are on all of those deeper ; things of faith which make them a unity in their fight n gain st sin nnd evil . and in their aspirations for ^ghteousI nes*. Those who mock nnd make fun of reI ligion have always made much over ’ the divisions in the Church. It has | been their stock in trade to ridicule ; Christian faith by pointing to the vnr; ious churches and asking which has 1 the real faith. But such ridicule and I such arguments have had point and ' force only because these churches theml selves have not made it plain that in most part they all have the same faith —that is, in all that larger and more essential part of their faith, which has to do with love and loyalty for Jesus Christ and hatred of sin, the churches are perfectly agreed. And it is be­ cause they have not made this agree­ ment plain, even to themselves, that their efforts have sometimes been *o divided ns to make their faith scorn puny and emaciated. There has been n vastnesn, a unity, a power of Christian faith in every community which the churches themselves have rarely made visible—even to themselves. The loss to the Kingdom through this failure of the churches in our vari ous communities to mnkc known their dssontinl unity bn’s been incalculable. There has been a wealth of faith which hns gone largely unexpressed because of it. Mon and women have conceived of Christian faith ns consisting mostly in the things over which the churches differed rather than over those tre­ mendously large nnd far more vitnl things in which the churches arc per­ fectly agreed. Thus folks have been given a very misleading and very in­ ferior impression of th© content of In 192 Places in United States faith.

REED, Proprietor Phone 2110 HASTINGS The American Junior Red Cross, which was organized as a children’s auxiliary during war-times especially to help the young refugees In Europe, and to exemplify In peace-time the Red Cross Ideal of service, has now a membership of 5,596.663 In the schools of the United State* and the insular possessions. This Junior movement gives oppor­ tunity for the children to share In Red Cross effort parallel to that of the parent organization. Juniors are therefore identified in varying degree with the health services, disaster re­ lief work, salvage and other suitable activities of value to the operations of the Red Cross. It Is a valiant host marching on under Its "I Serve" banner In the cause of happier childhood every­ where and particularly wherever the American flag files. The enrollment embraces 29,942 schools and 147,486 school rooms, a gain over 1923 of 5,655 schools and 22.414 school rooms. The year’s gain in membership was 769.402 children, or nearly S0.000 for each month of the school year. The educational and social values of the Junior Red Crons movement Is thus evidencing the firm nnd cordial endorsement of school authorities. The government has added the weight of recognition by extending the Junior Red Cross In the seh-iols for American Indian children. The American Red Cross Is also planning to develop the Junior program In 600 rural schools In Isolated sections There la no abatement of the ex change of correspondence between schools la the United States and schools in the Insular possessions end foreign lands.

RED CROSS RAISES $10,000,000 IN 21 DAYS FOR RELIEF i :--------- Terrible catastrophes, such as the Japanese- earthquake, prove the wls-1 dom of the people in maintaining the I American Red Cross as their national i and international relief agency. The ’ re adiness of tha Red Cross for duty In the greatest of emergencies was also proved by test. The record shows: Sept. 3, PreFl­ dent Coolidge nrsigns the duty of rais­ ing >5,000,000 to the American Red Cross; Sept. 4. Red Cross Chapters in over 3,500 communities given fund al­ lotments; Sept. 12. fund totals $5,563,000; Sept. 17. fund nearly $3.000,000' and President announces formal clos­ ing of campaign;'Sept 27, fund passes $10,000,000 mark. In 21 business days the Red Cross doubly performed the duty entrusted to II—all the while keeping a steady flow of relief supplies going out from many pacific ports to the stricken areas tn Japan. Thus was the confi­ dence of the American psople Jn their Red Cross jusslfl d and tha wisdom of Rod Cross preparedness to copo w.'th an unprecedented relief tsuurgency confirmed.

Had First In 1713 It was ordered by the gco> eral court that a suitable sum be ap­ pointed to construct a code cl laws for lbe New Haven colony. Ths appoint­ ment fell to Governor Eaton and ho was Instructed by the general court to study the laws of Massachusetts colony, and also the "Discourse on Qvn Government in a New Plants* tlon," by Reverend Mister Gotten, to aid him in bls work. Governor Eaton promptly Issued a code of laws, mnny of -which were from the Massachusetts rode. Duly presented to the elder* of correct JurIsdictlon, the fruit of the governor’s toll was by them approved sad passed, says the Detroit News. Tlie general court, mrseover, ordered 500 copies to be printed for the New Haven col­ onists. At this period of history New Haven was an entirely different and separate colony from Connecticut, the latter be­ ing made np of the towns of Hart­ ford, Windsor and Wethersfield and wild adjacent territory. The term “blue laws,’’ therefore, un­ doubtedly came from the fact that ths'X. first printed lavs of either colony, be­ ing those of Governor Eaton, were enveloped in blue paper. So the coda of Governor Eaton Comprised the real and original blue laws and since these were enacted for New Haven colony It Is further established that they should be called the ’’blue laws of New Haven colony” and not of Connecticut. The laws of other colonies were also used in constructing the code nnd many of them are at the present time upon Many the statute books of Connecticut. “ of the better law* of that state today are founded on them. Watch Responds to the Personal Toach Of all mechanical device* we use. a watch comes nearest to having life, senses 'and feeling. It reacts to cold nnd heat, dampness nnd dry air. recog­ nizes gn.Mi treatment from bad; in fact, it Is ns sensitive to the wny it is cared for as a pel dog would be, says Popu­ lar Science Monthly. A watch even has temperament that it acquires rap­ idly according to the temperament of Its wearer. If two persons were to exchange watches that had been keep­ ing perfect time, the watches would proceed to get out of order quickly. A watch Is the most delicate and complex mechanism of,dully use It has 211 parts, some so small that they nre just about visible to the nnaldcd eye. A break of maladjustment of any of these parts Is sufficient to mar its utility ns a timepiece. To make a watch requires about 4.000 distinct Operations, Involving a year’s work. Part of the mechanism strikes 157,000,000 blows n year, while the balance wheel revolves n distance of 4.800 miles. No other piece of machinery known 1* subjected tn such use. Yet a good wstch will keep perfect time through two or three generations. Once your watch lias been regulated to fit your gait. It will require very little attention. It should be oiled once □ year, protected from rf^st, dampness nnd sudden jolts, and wound every 24 hours nt exactly the same time to the minute. With this slight amount of care even a cheap watch should last for years.

Stats of Michii Fond of Their Bean* In the absence of positive Informa­ tion on the subject of the origin of Boaton bakpd beans and their place on New England breakfast menus this conjecture is offered: In the early days of the Plymouth colony people did their baking Ln brick ovens. Them ovens were heated on Saturday and enough baking for the week was done at tliat time. Aa the oven cooled oft the temperature was just right for beana, which need long, alow cooking, so they were thus ready to be eaten on Saturday night and were probably put back Into the oven to keep bot and these were eaten for breakfast on Sun­ day morning Many New England peo­ ple reheat them and eat them for breakfast each morning until they are gone, and some people who bake them on Wednesday continue to serve them for breakfast until the Saturday beam are baked. In northern New England beans have been baked from time Im­ memorial In a bole in the ground, tha hole having first been lined with stones and the stones made very hot with a fire built Ln the bole. In lun> ber camps the beans are usually put Id td bake thb night before they are ta be served for breakfast ... . ±J Afcxfc Thumssloes Scarce London pgpei^-“VanlshLng day for the members of the Royal academy was on Saturday.** Are Saturday visi­ tors really more vindictive than tlioee Pre*ent.

DEMOCMTIC PARTY MUST GUNGE PUMS THEM IS HOT BOOM IM U. S. FOB TWO 00H8XBVATIVE PARTIES DEMOCRATIC PARTY MUST BE LIBERALIZED It Oannot Remain a Sectional Party and Hope to Win in Future We do not suppose that the BAN­ NER ought to worry about wnat Is to become of the democratic jmrtyl Nevertheless, that is something that ought to vitally eoneern every eitiaen. This must be a party government, in order to carry out our theory of gov­ ernment—a representative democracy. That too, is the only way to preserve polities! accountability. There ought to be two parties, somewhere1 near even­ ly balanced. That would be better for the country, better for every state and better for every community. The difference in membership in the two parties should not bo so great as to be discouraging to the minority pirty. When that is true, better men will be selected for oftco by both parties in order to make a proper appeal to the voters. From all this it ean be seen that the BANNER has a right to be concerned about what shall become of the demo­ cratic party. Unless a radical change shall be made in it, it’s likely to be­ come a mere sectional party, carrying only a few states in the South but hav­ ing little influence in national affairs. It seems to us that there has not been difference enough between what the democratic party stood for and what the republican party stood for in the past. Tne main difference has been the tariff. We think the reouke of recent elections must have convinced everybody that the people of the United flutes are in favor of as pro­ tective tariff, so that issue may as well be eliminated. The only proposition connected with the tariff, that the voters will consider, is how high the rates shall bo. The principle of pro­ tection has been so thoroughly indorsed in this country that it ean hardly be considered a debatable question any longer, certainly not one of sufficient importance to furnish a dividing line between the republican and the demo­ cratic parties. The South, which is the bulwark of the democratic party, is naturally con­ servative. They era not radicals in that pert of our country. They have held tenaciously to the democratic party because they wished to maintain NORTHEAST THORN-APPLE. Mn.

Mrs. Charles Wilks entertained her sister, Mrs. Frank Perkins of Lansing and an aunt, Mrs. Mary Kelsey of Eau Clklr Friday and Saturday. Mrs. Clarence Norris received the sad news of the death of her uncle, Frank Mairer of Goshen, Ind., Friday. It seems doubly cad coming at this time, as her father, Mr. Frank Cooper, of North Carlton is very low with diphtheria.

The line read, “O, Sophonlaba. Sopbonisba O." It was Immediately parodied every­ where, "O lemmy Thomson. Jemmy Thomson O." The Point of View Hastings National Bank what they call white supremacy and they feel that the republican party ie, ai they put it, the negro party; »o they would have none of it. In all other matters the South is almost ns conservative as any part of the North. The one exception would bo their view of a protective tariff: but as the South is becoming more highly industrialised, its people are becoming more friendly to a protective tariff. This situation has caused the democratic party to be conservative. But as a conservative party, it never can stand on a par with the republican party us results of re­ cent elections completely demonstrate. Those who have given the subject study, and who have expressed them­ selves since election, seem to be agreed that the democratic party must become the liberal party and stand for, not extreme radicalism like that of LaFollette, but for what may be termed moderate radicalism. It would differ­ entiate it to a mueh greater extent from the republican party than it is at the present time. While democrats might lose some of the states of the South, it would have a far better op­ portunity to carry northern states; and unless it ean adopt a policy and a pro­ gram that will appeal to the north and the west, there is no hope for the democratic party’s future. We understand that Mr. Davis, the democratic candidate for the presi­ dency in the recent election, has in­ vited a conference of democratic lead­ en in New Yofk City with a view of having the democratic party take up a program that will make a party appeal to the voten of the country, which will do away with any thought of a third party.

For Instance, this county convention could also choose delegates to a pre-primary state convention. It seems to us that this would be far more satisfactory and much more in harmony with our theory of representative government than is the present primary system.

Many otherwise practical people also take care to place the right foot first whan entering a iwuiw, say* London TitBits. The origin eg the vary common su­ perstition with regard to Um right foot Is easily accounted for by association. It Is a psychological offspring of the word “right," and its meaning of **in conformity with moral law, permitted by tho principle which ought to regu­ late conduct,** and so on. The word as applied to the ride of the human body which Is toward tbe east when the face is turned to tbe north is of exactly the same derivation, and owes Its preeeut application to tbe fact that moot people are “right-hand­ ed.* and therefore, the right hand is ths right hand to de things with.

Know what’s underneath the paint before you buy OU wouldn’t think of buying a house without first knowing how it is built andthe quality of material*, used.

Almost any car seems comfortable on the showroom floor, but it’s quality such as thia that makes the Studebaker Standard Sir remain comfortable after years of service. The same standards of excellence are main­ tained throughout the body and chassis. In the engine, for example, the crankshaft is completely machined on all surfaces, a prac­ tice that results in the smooth, quiet, vibra­ tionless performance that characterizes all Studebaker cars. We want you to know about the unseen qualities of the new Studebaker Standard Six Sedan. Down underneath its superb body finish is a sturdy framework of carefully selected ash, glued together and fastened in place by screws — not nailed. Ash is scarce and expensive, but Studebaker uses it because it best combines proper weight and strength. » Upholstery is genuine mohair of high quality. Various grades of mohair look much alike— the big difference is in the quality.

Form art y Indlee used to patch to cocvey messages to their courtlera. For example, according to an old-world book, a writer in London Answers dis­ covered recently, a patch on the left cheek bone meant to say: * I love you always;” and one on the right cheek bone: “I hate not quite decided yet." A patch on milady’s dainty chin rep­ resents love given to another, while “a message for you alone" was conveyed by n dtecreet beauty spot placed near the cor, and "no hope at all for you” by a patch on the temple.

S. SENATORS READ LA FOLLETTE OUT OF PARTY THREE OTHER SENATORS ARE LIKEWISE TREATED They Get What They Deaerve— Have Fought the Party for Years Every right thinking man ought to commend tho action of the republican members of the United State senate who voted, at their recent caucus, to no longer regard Senators LaFollette of Wisconsin, I-add and Frasier, 'of North Dakota, and Brookhart, of Iowa, ns republicans, in the placing of party members on Senate committees. It is a matter of very recent history that Senator LaFollette did his utmost, which fortunately was not much, to destroy the republican party. Senator Ladd has seemed to-take particular de­ light in doing everything that he could to obstruct tho passing of bills in the Eresent congress, which were suggested y President Coolidge. Senator Fra­ sier was the organizer of the wellknown non-Partisan Union, ns it is ••ailed, which carried oh a number of socialistic experiments in North Da­ kota, which resulted in numerous bank failures and in destroying public con­ fidence in the integrity of that state. He, too, had seemed to pride himself in throwing a monkey wrench into the legislative machinery every time it was proposed to do any constructive legis­ lation at Washington. Senator Brook­ hart, in the recent campaign in Iowa, publicly criticised the repwblcian pres­ idential and vice-presidential candi­ dates, and did everything that was in hispower to carry Iowa for LaFollette. The only use any of these four sena­ tors have had for the republican pnrty wda for the purpose of getting nomina­ tions and elections through its machin­ ery and then to show their contempt fur the partv and its principles in every »y.a'y possible. As a matter of fact, Senator LaFollette ha4 not been .i re­ publican for a good many years. We don’t know just what wo would cnll him politically, but we WQuld say. with­ out any question or hesitation, that be is not a republican. Senator Frasier i» an out-and-put socialist.* None of them deserve tq be classed as republi­ cans, and every one of them could be relied upon to do all ho could to ob­ struct and hamper republican legislation in Congress. That is their record. The republican party has suffered chough from this group of men who posed as members of the party, but who have defeated the comtruetive measures which that party had adopted, and which tho conscientious republican members felt that the party must sup­ port. It will clear the atmosphere and Continued on page 17. 18 PAGES FINE ADDITION TO CHILD’S FREE BED FUND HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, DECEMBER 3, 1924 PAGES 1 to 6 Celebrate Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary ALL INVITED TO EVE­ NING SCHOOL SESSION Classes Will Convene Thursday Night From Seven Tin Nine Offering Amounting to (60.21 Taken at Union Thanks­ giving Service Every parent and patron of the schools of this city are invited to at­ tend the open session to be held on Thursday evening of this week, from seven till nine o’clock. Classes will bo held in the High | school and the seventh and eighth grades in the red building. These open sessions have proved to be popular and furnish a fine oppor­ tunity for thos£ who cannot visit school during the day, to do so in the evening. The second and thin! hour classes meeting regularly in tho morn , ing will he held thnt evening, while the regular afternoon classes will be held 1 the afternoon of December 4. Follow ing the two recitations an assemble; program will be given which will be of interest to the general public. As stated in the BANNER last week, thr offering taken at the Onion servie< on Thanksgiving day was for the .Child’s Free Bod fund at Pennock hos pital. It is gratifying to know that the sum of 850.21 was contributed *at that time. Inasmuch ns Mrs: M. W. Hicks, who is City Chairman for this fund, is away for the winter, the work has been given to Mias Mabel Sisson nt the BANNER office until Mrs. Hicks' return. Miss Sisson has nlrcndy paid to Mrs. Marion Goodyear, County Chairman, the 850.21 received on Thanksgiving. If there arc any others who wish to aid In this worthy cause, your gifts may be left at the BANNER office. MECiGlT FATALLY INJURED MR. JOSEPH C. WARDELL.

Tho teal pleasure that they had, and which nil vf them had, TWO MEN HE INSTANTLY KILLED NUMBER 31 SMALL INCREASE IN THE TOTAL VOTE WAS ABOUT FOUR PER CENT GREATER THAN IN 1920 NINETEEN STATES SHOW AN ACTUAL DECREASE Only Eight Per Cent of South Carolinans Went to Polls— Michigan 66 Per Cent A great deal was said, during Sept­ ember and October, about every Amer­ ican citizen, who was entitled to vote, going to the polls on election day and casting his ballot. The results do show thnt there was an increase, but it was nitifullv small While twentv-six mil­ lion votes were cast in 1920 and a little over thirty million in 1924, which looks like a big increase, as a matter of fact the increase was not as large as it appears. The base upon which should bo computed the percentage in this case ought to be those who are en­ titled to vote. Of those who were actually entitled to vote, about 49 per cent cast their bnllots iu 1920 and a little less than 53 per cent voted in 1924. While thnt represents some progress, it is not what it should be when we think that this is a country where majorities should rule. As near ns enn be estimated, nearly as large a percentage of women voted as of men. In nineteen states there was an actual decrease in votes, as compared with four vears ago. Think of South Carolina casting only eight per cent of tho vote to which it is entitled! Think of Kentuckv and Tennessee dropping one hundred and twanty thousand votes eaeh behind what thov cast four vears ago. Take the southern states as a whole nnd the vote east would not be much, if any, above 25 per cent of that to which thev were entitled. A rood deal of this failure is due to the Fact that tho colored vote is practical­ ly suppressed, south of Mason and Dixon’s line. But only about 46 per '•ent of >^o white population, entitled to vote; actually go to the polls in the south. That is certainly very far from an ideal condition. In our own state of.Michigan, about 53 per eent voted fonr vears ago and at the last election about 56 per eent of those entitled to the franchise took interest enough in the election to go to the noils. Indiana has the best rec­ ord. with over 83 per cent of those en­ titled to vote actually getting to the polls. There might be sufficient reason for 10 per eent of ©’©•♦ora to vote because of illness themselves, or in their homes, or because of absence from home, or because of infirmity due to old age or invalidism. But surely, one can hardly figure out anv good reasons for a greater percentage than that failing to vote at a presidential election, which has so marked an ef­ fect upon the future of our.government and of our country. Wo are verv glad that a sraall in­ crease has been made. We hope to see the time when a far larger propor­ tion of the voters will cast their bal­ lots at presidential elections as well as all other elections. Wo th*nk that, unless this negligence of voters can be cured, that congress ought to serionslv consider taking awav the franchise from any citizen who does not take interest enough in his ‘country and its affairs to go to the polls on election day and cast his or her vote. “SHOP EARLY-MAIL EARLY" IS CHRISTMAS SLOGAN Postoffice Department Again Asks Co-operation of all the People The Shop Earlv. Mail Early cam­ paign inaugurated by Postmaster Gen­ eral Now last vear proved to be an unaualified success. It was of great bene­ fit to the people nnd also enabled port office employees to deliver all the Christmas mail before noon on Decem­ ber 25. The Department again this year asks the heartv cooperation of the public in order thnt the record made last vear may be equalled, if not ex­ celled. When you shop earlv and mail early you are helping the clerks in the port office to eat their dinners home and vou sre greatlv benefitting yourselves. You have a greater chance to secure a bet­ ter selection* of gifts from the store*, you have more time to wrap them se­ curely and you are sure that thev will arrive at their destination in time to be opened Christmas morning. You are also relieving the burdens on the clerks behind the counters in the stores, end yon are giving a practical demonstration of the good will that Christmas time signifies. Acting Post­ master General, John IL Bartlett, re­ quests that you refrain from using small envelopes in sending your Christ­ mas cards as thia verv greatly retards the sorting and distribution of the mails. Let all of us pull together this year, do our shopping early and do oar mailing early, let’s make it a genuina old-fashioned Christmas celebration. NOTICE TO BARRY TOWN­ SHIP TAXPATKM.

Its purpose is to eooaider and to decide an a program for the forest conservation, game conservation and a general eon serration program in Michigaj), for which* there is surely an urgent need. We hope that there may be enough in­ teract in Barry county so that several will attend. Barry county has literally thous­ ands of acres that would be better for raising timber than any other crop that could bo grown. By co-operating with the state, and especially if the state shall pass liberal conservation laws, much progress could be made in a real forest conservation in Barry cougty. Thia would be a great bene­ fit to the state and to the nation as walk President Coolidge has called the urgent attention of the nation to the fact that we now have timber re­ sources that will last only fifty years at the present rate of consumption. Upleas something is done to grow timber, it is inevitable that there will be a serious shortage that will hamper the development of this, country in the not very distant future. Michigan ov^ns milliomrof nr res that ought to be reforested and in that way couldj, bo made profitable for the state, and in the not distant future would pay all state expenses,' if proper­ ly cared for. * FIVE AUCTIONS * (Continued from page one.)

GOOD HOUSE FOR SALE The Hastings Country Club desire's to sell the house on its property in the 1st Ward of Hastings, perhaps bet­ ter known as the residence of the late James L. Wilkins, and have it moved off. This large residence was built by Mr. Wilkins, from materials selected by him while he was engaged in the lumber business -here, and was well built. It is large enough so that it could be changed over into two or three residences. There is a constant demand for homes in this city, the demand not having been satisfied since the war. Here is a chance for someone. Write or phone your bids to Morris Lambie or Aben Johnson, Hastings, Mich.

For men and women there are sanitariums and dietitians to prescribe the correct daily menu. For most farmers the dairy cow’s feed is gauged by a hit and miss process, bolstered up' by ideas from farm periodicals. To aid the dairymen in planning the mineral ration, K. 8. Helm of the farm bureau said the fol­ lowing in a recent interview: “Minerals for dairy cows is a new idea in dairying known to be as impor­ tant as it is new. In the summer time when cows are on pasture, no mineral supplement is required. But dairy cows in milk apparently need a vita­ min which is present in grass, to aid in the assimilation of lime, and during milk production in winter the ration without vitamin elements would be a limiting factor. “When cow* can no longer get pas­ ture and have to be kept in the barn the best substitute for grass seems to bo pleaty of carefully cured legume hay. The way hay is cured has a great deal to do with its feeding value. Many practical farmers do not under­ stand the importance of preserving the vitamin in hay, but it is of tho greatest importance and too much stress can not be placed upon the im­ portance of curing the hay erop. Our leading experiment stations have found that tho feeding of minerals in the ration for tho dairy eow will help make up for the absence of minerals in tho hay and will help the cow to better utilize the vitamins whieh the hay doe* contain. “It is a well known fact that all classes of livestock require common ■alt. The amount which cow* require will vary according to milk production and the amount of feed the cow is consuming. Investigators conclude that a thousand pound cow should have 3-4 of an ounce of salt daily and .6 of an ounce should be added for each 20 pound* of milk produced. “A considerable amount of calcium (lime) is required by dairy cows. Lime is used for building the skeleton and in the production of milk. The ubsenee of it in the ration causes tho cow to tear the lime from her body structure in order to meet the require- ments of her milk producing appar­ atus, thus weakening her constitution and causing a decrease in the amount of milk produced. “Three or four pound* of finely ground limestone, or steamed bona meal should be fed to every 100 pounds of grain. “In some localities a laek of iodine in the ration causes goiter in calves. Where this trouble is experienced it is recommended that one-tenth of a pound of potassium or sodium idoide, whichever is the cheaper, be added to each 100 pounds of grain mixture. Potassium iodide put in the drinking water is another means of supplying iodine to eow*. “For some dairymen the most con­ venient mean5 of supplying these min­ erals i* by feeding it in the mixture nnd putting it on top of the feed a* is commonly done with salt, 50 pound* finely ground limestone and 50 pound* of steamed bone meal does very well. “Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the importance of feeding minerals, especially where no legume hay is to be had. “The cost of this mixture is very low, about the same as the cost of common salt. It can be bought in the mixed form from dealers, or the three commodities can be bought separately nnd mixed according to the desire* of the herdsman. “Some commercial mineral mixture* nro now being placed on the market, but there is no reason to believe that better results can be obtained from them than from tho simple mineral mixture desired.”—Ionia New*. HIGHER PRICES NOW FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS Prospects Good for Continued Prosperity Which Will Benefit Dairy Industry It must be gratifying to the farmer* of Barry county to note the rapidly mounting prices of butter fat in the markets, and the increasing price of all creamery product*. At the beginning of October there were several million pounds more of butter in cold storage in thia country than were held in aueh institution* one rear ago. During the month of Octo* ber, however, the butter in storage de­ creased over thirteen millions of pounds and thia surplus was rapidly reduced in November and will bo even more rapidly in this month. Everybody is agreed that at least four years of prosperity are ahead for the United State*. When people aro prosperous they have les* and lea* use for butter substitutes and purchase more liberally of the real article, whieh contain* the vitamins which are so necessary for growth and health. Thia should be an encouragement to all of the people of Barry eounty who are in­ terested in dairying. It will be noted also, that eggs are bringing a big price for this time of the year.

Asmotorvehiclesmultiply, this problembecomes increas­ ingly difficult almost from day to day for the 24 steam Railroads of Michigan. Despite the most costly and care­ fully planned precautions on the part of the Railroads, crossing accidents are-becoming appallingly frequent. Such accidents are due to the growing recklessness of the motorists. Yet each accident also imperils the lives of trainmen and passengers. Separation of grades can never solve this problem, for crossings are multiplying far faster than grades can be separated. And, with each separation costing from ♦70,000 to ♦100,000, the entire wealth of Michigan could not accomplish the task. The public demands of us speed—quick delivery—for passengers, mails, freight. To keep our tracks clear for this efficient service, and to maintain our standards of absolute safety, we must have cooperation at crossings. Most motoristr give this cooperation by heeding our request to Stop Look, Listen. For their own protec­ tion, as well as ours, those who do not heed this request should be made to do so by the mandate of Law. * Do you agree? Write us your verdict.

KING KOAL POCAHONTAS COKE WOOD Hastings Lumber and Coal Co< PHONE 3254 Frank Sage Life Insurance Coupled with a Trust (This discussion to be continued) Life insurance is unquestionably a wonderful means of pro­ tection to the family. But it should be properly safeguarded. Now it often is not. On the contrary, Life Insurance funds are often dissipated hy poor investments, sold to innocent people of small means. Statistics are sorrowful proof of this fact. The situation may be met and maximum protection secured by joining insurance with trust service. By this means, one who takes out life insurance can' direct and control for a long time the uses that shall be made of the life insurance moneys. Acting under an Insurance Trust Agreement, The Michigan Trust Company may be made the direct payee and manager of the lite insurance moneys, the agreement specifying its powers, duties and compensation, and stating to whom the income of the invest­ ments tnade with those moneys shall be paid, under the varying conditions which may arise. Where the maker meets the premium payments, this Company usually makes no charge for its part in such''trust during the lifetime of the maker. Thus there is a combination of Life Insurance and Trust Com­ pany service: The Life Insurance Company provides the money after the death of the insured. The Trust Company provides the expert service for the care, conservation, investment and distribu­ tion of this money. Thus the widow or other relative is saved many heartaches.

A. at peace with all the world, prosperous to a degree that has never been equalled in the history of man­ kind) acknowledged to bo the leader of the world, and the most powerful government on earth. Surely every American ought to rejoice. Not the least cause of a happy feel­ ing in towns like Hastings is the much larger share of prosperity that has come to the American farmer. Secre­ tary Hoover, in a recent address, indieated his belief that this farm pros­ perity has come to stay, and multiply­ ing evidences prove that fact. Re­ store to the fanners of tho United States the buying power that they had previous to the World war, and during tho early years of that war, and their prosperity could not be kept from benefltting the rest of the country. When this basic industry languishes, and when those who follow agriculture as their life work are not prosperous, all the rest of us have to suffer because of the fact that it is a basic industry. All true wealth must come from the earth in some form. Civilization has many processes for adding values to the original form of wealth, but never­ theless it all must come originally from what mother earth yields in the form of minerals, fruits, crops, or other products.

NASHVILLE VOTES DOWN $100,000 SCHOOL BONDS Nashville is now going through what Hastings did before wo built the pres­ ent fine high school, building. Tho village has outgrown the school build­ ing it now has, and a new one is an imperative necessity. But the question comes as to how big it should be; where it should be located; what it should cost, and numberless other issues, just as they arose here, and this resulted in a decisive defeat of the Jreposition submitted to bond for 100,000 for a new sshool building in that village, nt the school meeting which was held Tuesday evenirtg of Inst week. The need for additional school room is just as acute as it was before, and it is only a question of time until Nashville will have to build a modem school building. Tho sooner the peo­ ple roach the conclusion that there isn’t anything else to do, and then do It and vote the necessary funds, the better satisfied they will be. School facilities are not an expense, they are an investment. Whatever we ean do for the benefit of tho rising generation is worth doing, and we ought to be willing to make sacrifices and pay high taxes for tho benefit of the youngsters whom we all wish to have better opportunities than we had ourselves. It took Hastings several years to get to the point of voting bond* needed for the new high school building. But the effort finally won, and now everybody is glad it did. Hon. Ella 0.

HASTINGS DELAY HI ISSUE OF JOTOLICMi Coetlnad from p»r« <>»«■ tax light cara oven though they have the same horse power as the heavy ones, as high as they would tax the heavier ones. Therefore, it will prob­ ably be true -that the present license tax will be modified and future taxa­ tion of automobiles will be based as to rates oh the weight of the automobiles instead of the horse pdwer. Governor Groesbeck has decided to introduce the weight tax bill at the beginning of the session in January, and already has the bill for the weight tax prepared for submission to the legislature. A* Governor Grosbeek is one of the state’s best authorities on constitutional law, and filled the office of Attorney General for several terms, it ean be taken for granted that he ha* prepared a measure which will run the guantlet of the state court* success­ fully. If the legislature will at onte buckle down to the consideration of this weight tax law, they ean get it out of the way so that the 1925 license plates may be iasued in Conformity to the new weight tax law, if it shall be paused, instead of the old license law, whieh is based on horse power. Governor Groesbeck has also pre­ pared a gasoline tax bill, whieh will also be submitted to the legislature: but the weight tax will be submitted first, because the new licenses ought to be issued in’conformity to that law, when they shall he issued and they ought to be issued as early as practic­ able. Undoubtedly, future instructions will be received, which we shall give our readers due notice. WOODBUXT. On November 20th., W. R. Wells and J. 8. Reisinger had an auto collision. Nobody hurt, but W.

In the Civil War it wns Gettysburg; in the World War it wns Verdun. In the conflict that all men of good will are carrying on in America today against the moral laxity that has crept into our body politic, the critical point is the Eighteenth Amendment," Bishops T. 6. Henderson, Cincinnati, E. L. Waldorf, Kansas City, E. H. Hughes, Chicago, F. J. McConnell, Pittsburgh and J. C. Hartzell, were present together with the district superintendents an ! eminent loaders or the church. "The attacks on Verdun and Gettys­ burg were openly made by mon who so earnestly believed in the cause for which they strove that for it they were readv to sacrifice their lives,” said Governor Pinchot. The attack on the Eighteenth amendment is based on nothing higher than greed of appetite, is pursued in darkness by the most con­ temptible of methods and has behind it no motive that a self-respecting Amer­ ican enn do other than despise. "The criminals who break the' Eighteenth amendment for their pleas­ ure or their profit <-nn never win. We‘ know that wo shnll bent them in the1 end. But the hlrm they do in the1 meantime is enormous. For there is one aspect of the case whieh wc cannot for an instant, afford to overlook. It is this—the moral integrity of the people of the United States is at stake in this conflict. , "If we cannot enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, if we cannot ropi^cl obedience to our fundamental law, if we cannot hold the critical point, how can we expect to keep the rest of the moral line! If wc fail in the greatest moral test ever laid upon us as a God fearing nation, hew can wo maintain our self-respect, how can wc save our ■oulf "Tho Eighteenth Amendment will never bo repealed. It will stand so long as alcohol ia a menace to the hu­ man race. There is no fear of any suc­ cessful attack upon the Volstead Law. That law will never lie weakened until the fight for enforcement is finally won in the United States. And when that time comes tho demand to weaken it will be dead.

Friday and Saturday Specials ? | | J. | t ' 4 “Taxation is the process of taking a dollar from somebody to whom it belongs rightfully and using it for the benefit of the people collectively,’’ ' says Paul Shoup, Vire-Prcs., Southern Pacific Company. “The <visdom that ; governs the taking of this money from i its owner and its expenditfita on he- ■ half of his fellowmon, who individually ; have no claim to it whatsoever, in n large way measures the success of gov­ ernment. There would not have been ■ an American Republic except for prob­ lems relating tif taxation which result-' ed in severing the political ties that | bound the old world and the new. “The question of taxation never pressed upon the life of the individual more than nt present. In n large degree he is unquestionably unaware of how much of his daily burden arises from taxation. But history shows thnt this sleep and forgetting is-not to he ac­ cepted as n finality. In the end when the burden becomes too great, or the sense of injustice too strong, he seeks the source and then comes the upheav­ al. “Only the most shallow of thinkers, believe that taxation rests where it is initially placed. Every man strives to pass it on in the sales of his services or his. production, just as he strives to pass on other expenses. So, taxation is an clement in the cost of every bit of food put in the mouth, of every garment worn, of every roof that shel­ ters, of travel and entertainment, nnd at the end, in the cost of death itself.’’ ¥ Y.

RAMMER, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1M4 THE WALL STREET “SCARE” EXPLODED Big capital has l>een fairly stamped­ ed into tax-exempt publie securities, to escape industrial taxes. Productive industry found it hard to finance it­ self, until it took up the small-investor field. ‘ Small Investors in the past five years have remade the American attitude to­ wards capital by showing that it is nimply the saving of their own labor of yesterday invested in new undertak­ ings. Borne profess to be frightened be­ cause “Wall Street’’ Mocks advanced immediately after the election. Inas­ much ns Wall Street is populated by 10,000,000 sober Americans who have bought the nation’s industrial securi­ ties and are.running the nation’s busi­ ness, the advance will pe a benefit to many. If these securities were to decline, the small investor would suffer while tax-exempt securities, with a guaran­ teed strangle-hrold on the nation's revenues, -would stand higher than working industrials. There is small virtue in the taxexempt . securities_ plan. It docs not fairly distribute the obligations of citizenship, nnd it should be-abolished.

BUILDING A RAIL­ ROAD SYSTEM , It is undoubtedly in the public wel­ fare that railroads and other public utilities be operated in larger units to improve the publie service and reduce operating expenses. Consolidation of the Southern Pacific Company and the El Paso nnd South­ western System has .been effected by purchase, creating a $2,000,000,000 rail system covering 12,370 miles. The transaction is understood to be the forerunner of a Greater Southern Pacific System, to include eventually the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. Acquisition of the El Paso and Southwestern gives the Southern Pa­ cific 1130 additional miles of trans­ portation, and increases its assets more than $53,000,000. The point of public interest in this transaction is that when these consoli­ dations arc made in the natural evolu­ tion of building systems of transporta­ tion by practical railroad men, they are apt to prove more satisfactory than when artificially formed by regulatory bodies or legislative action.

Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is able to guarantee the service and quality of the petro­ leum products it sells because its products and its manufacturing processes are standardized. The highly specialized machinery, the operation of the plant, and the methods of the workers—all are reduced to standard practice. The workers trained for their job; the special equipment, made and adjusted to yield the highest degree of effec­ tiveness-all are factors in standardizing the product. But, standardization is without avail if there is any interruption in the operation of the highly specialized manufacturing equipment. With expensive, high-powered machinery idle, interest charges and plant depreciation would eat up not only all the profit, but a considerable portion of the invested capital The refineries of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) must work as nearly full time as possible if they are to show a profit at the end of the year. One of the major problems confronting this Company is to keep its refineries in contin­ uous operation. Through uninterrupted operation the Manage­ ment of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is able to pursue its constructive labor policy which promotes harmony among its workers. Thia policy pays dividends to the Company and to the consumer. Skilled workers cannot be replaced readily. Many of the Standard Oil workers are trained from youth for special tasks. The Standard OU Company (Indiana) is a leader in the refining of specialized petroleum products. Its ideals of service embrace an efficient system of manufacture and an effective system of distri­ bution. t Because the fact is generally recognized that its products are standardized and held strictly to the standard set, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been able to develop a wide and stable mar­ ket which absorbs the products this Company’s high-powered refineries—its skilled labor—and its scientific management can manufacture. This makes for a “twelve month" work year, which otherwise would be strictly seasonal. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has spe­ cialized its operating facilities to such a point as to complete a perfect economic cycle; in which low costs depend upon a wide market and a wide market depends upon reasonable prices. A perfect economic cycle—standardization—and maximuni service—go hand in band. Standard Oil Company (Indiana') General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.

General Offices GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN Hastings, Michigai The Actor’s Christmas Party LL of the actors of the Zo­ roaster Stock company were good, but perhaps Billy Kelly was the best Eked by ■wryso the townspeople. Billy had been there six weeks, now, >>ni1 WHS iiTiDK at Mra- Per' kins’ on Center street. Hence Center street was particu­ larly thrilled at this time, because It had never before harbored a real live actor, and it could not quite get used to the Idea. Mrs. Perkins was a respectable middle-aged widow who had to take a few\roojners to help out on expenses. She was not quite sure that it was right to have Billy rooming there, as she had an Inherited prejudice against actors, but he paid twice as much as she had ever had before for the rooms, did not cnuse any extra bother, and so far us she could determine, was a human being much like the rest of us. It did seem -trange to her, however, that a young unmarried man should receive one hundred and £fty dollars TrU, —» a week when Mr. • tq Perkins with hla j j family bad earned r U only that mach a month.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1924 r ■ 'HE IMPLEMENTS as shown and described in this folder are the results of several years of experiments by practical fanners. We urge you to make a careful study of the merits of P-C Products. P-C HARROW ATTACHMENT P-C CULTIVATOR SWEEP P-C GARDEN TOO! IS MORE THAN A HOE A 17-tooth Spring Harrow equipped with 10 of the above attachments will break up 1007 of the soil area ^nd destroy all root growth. No weeds can escape being cut because the 8-inch sweeps overlap each other two inches. A more perfect seed bed is produced with the right kind of a dust mulch. A great saving of time and labor is effected. The P-C Cultivator Sweep has met with universal favor among farmers for the following reasons:— It combines the functions of several farm and garden implements into one simple tool. We offer for the first time a sweep separate from and behind a breaker. tion. Heretofore the farmer has had only the standard culti­ vator sweep, which did its own breaking. IT COVERS IOO7 OF SOIL AREA. The concave blade causes the tool to maintain an even depth. The P-C Sweep eliminates bent sweep shanks and allows sweep to be operated in nearly a horizontal position, even in hard soil. They are made of the finest of implement steel and are easily and quickly attached to a Harrow. b Replacement can be made of a sweep, the same as mow­ er sections. The angle and peculiar shape of P-C Sweeps is guaran­ teed to eliminate clogging. We especially call your attention to the fact that this ia the only attachment of ita kind on the market. No cultivator, unless equipped with a set of P-C Harrow Attachments, can produce satisfactory results. WHY WEEDS You should be interested in P-C Products IT IS MADE OF 90 POINT CARBON STEEL. The adjustment is easy and positive and may be changed to suit a person of any height or for different classes of work. The upright sides of the blades allow the tool to be worked close to a plant without bruising it or uncovering the roots. P-C Sweeps are made with a shearing angle of the cut­ ting edge which is different from all old types of sweeps. Fruit growers will find them ft be a distinct advantage. WHY? Do you appreciate the enormous reduction in crops throughout the United States every year due to weed growth? The use of P-C Products will overcome this tremendous loss. feopucrj There IS no hard manual labor connected with its opera­ A distinctive feature is a combined ferrule and locking device. Our thousands of customers tell us this is the best garden tool on the market. IF YOU ARE A FARMER—You should use P-C Products. WHY?—Because yon farm to make money. P-C Products save time and labor and completely eradicate WEEDS. IF YOU ARE A DEALER—You should handle P-C Products. WHY?—Because every farmer and gardener in the United States will buy these tools at sight. IF YOU ARE A JOBBER—You should handle P-C Products.

If he were to go t» next door he most always eould get a piece of the best bread and jam. and perhaps run an errand or two for her to ease his conscience. Tommy, bright and early, had found his way over to Mrs. Askins', as he called her. She was busy get­ ting ready to go to a picnic. "You see.

While they stood there Tommy spied n balloon man coming down the street. As the noise of the horn grew nearer. Tom­ my’s eyes enlarged. “Aren't those whoppers, though,” Tommy sighed. "Gee!” "Wouldn't you like one. Tommy?" suggested Mr. Miller, digging Into his pocket. “Now, I'll tell you. Tommy, If you know my name next year when I come after these folks on the Fourth, I’ll buy you another balloon. It was almost Christmas now, and Tommy was once more In the Haskins kitchen, watching preparations for an­ other feast, but of a different sort. The most wonderful pies, cakes and puddings were being evolved. Sud denly. Tommy burst forth: "Say. Mrs. 'Askins, do you remem her what that man said?" “No. Tommy; what are you think Ing about?” “Do you suppose he will come back? You know he bought me a balloon and said If I remembered his name he would buy me another when he came back.” “Of course he will,” said Mrs. Has­ kins. “Oh. I am so glad. My mother shtjust says I am silly when I ask her and' says. T am too busy to be bothered with that. Run along, now!* And you know,” Tommy hastened to add. “I haven't forgotten his name either. It's Mr. Miller.” That night Mr. Miller dropped in for a minute at the Haskins'. Before tils departure Mrs. Haskins had a 1 moment of conversation with him dun?.

DECEMBER 10. 10M Reasons Why Michigan Business and Normal College Graduates Earn More Money! GIVE YOURSELF A SQUARE DEAL You attend college but once in a lifetime and the right start means everything, for your education, whether good or bad, becomes a part of you. If bad, it will hamper you all through life. It may even mean com­ plete failure. ’ Furthermore, the school from which you graduate is your introduction to the business world. You will be judged wholly by its reputation. If good, it will be a valuable asset. If poor, it will be a burdensome liability. When you graduate at M. B. & N. C., you will have an earning power ■ from 25% to 100% greater than that of the beginner less efficiently prepared, and there wili be a position waiting for you at a salary far above the aver­ age. The demand for our graduate students is fully ten times the supply— they take their choice of opportunity positions. The extra cost of your instruction will be all paid back to you in the first month or two after graduation, and you will continue to enjoy increased dividends on your in­ vestment throughout your entire business career. Ambitious and intelligent young men and women are too wise to at­ tempt to save money by attending a cheap college. They know that at­ tending a cheap school is the dearest kind of extravagance, for those who attend such schools get just what they pay for—cheap instruction—and cheap instruction is the most expensive thing they can buy when their whole future is at stake. Their money, their time, their efforts are all wasted, for mediocre training will make them mediocre workers, unable to command a high salary. They will be held down all their lives to cheap, inferior positions, with no chance for advancement. For more than forty years, Michigan Business & Normal College has adhered rigidly to the highest standards of> excellence and efficiency, and no consideration of price has ever moved us from this ideal. Instead of bringing our instruction down to a cheap price, we have built up a superior service, and that is why the public has made MICHIGAN BUSINESS & NORMAL COLLEGE the leader in its field—«why it is nationally recog­ nized as one of America’s most thorough and successful business Training Schools. Furthermore, the instruction in every Department of the school is in­ dividual, it is personal and intensive, and you are enabled to graduate from eight to twelve weeks earlier than you could under class methods of in­ struction, providing the same courses of study were given. C. J. ARGUBRIGHT President of Michigan Business and Normal College WE WELCOME YOU into our big happy family. We shall take a deep, personal interest in you and shall endeavor to furnish you just the help you need in your particular case. We shall advance you rapidly, just as fast as your efforts justify, so that you can develop the highest efficiency and com­ plete your course in the shortest possible time. WE GUARANTEE that if, after completing the course and graduating, you are not fully satisfied with the results attained, we will refund the entire tuition you have paid us gladly, willingly, and without any controversy, providing we are notified in writing of your wishes within ten days from graduation. WE GUARANTEE that if a parent, guardian, or other person is paying your tuition, and that person dies before you complete your course, leaving you without funds to continue, we will instruct you for the balance of the course, and you may pay the tuition charge from your earnings after you reach the business office. C. A. BALCOMB We appeal to ambitious young people whose hearts are aflame with a burning desire for worthy achievement and who are more interested in developing themselves as business leaders than they are in taking short, superficial courses of study at cheap rates. They know that a college which offers low rates acknowledges its own inferiority, and is unworthy of con­ sideration. They know that the sweetness of cheap tuition can never offset the bitterness of poor instruction. They know the real economy of getting the best possible instruction. Consider carefully the wonderful possibilities that go hand-in-hand with Michigan Business & Normal College Training. Every year . young people who have tried cheap schools come here to get their training all over again, and get it right We hope you will get the right start the first time, remembering always that the most economical course is not the one that costs you the least, but the one that makes you the most efficient and adds the greatest number of dollars to your pay check. RESULTS ARE WHAT YOU WANT. The big question is, "Can you really afford to attend a cheaper school?” . ’ WE GUARANTEE to give you the service of our Vocational Guidance and Employment Department when you graduate, and to place you in the position you are best qualified to fill. You are absolutely assured of a satis­ factory position by the fact that for more than forty years, we have never failed to place every graduate in an “OPPORTUNITY” position, and the demand for our graduate students is now at least ten times the supply. This service also continues just as long as you desire and merit it after graduation. WE GUARANTEE to allow loss of time to the extent of one continuous week, or more, in case of sickness or for other satisfactory reason, providing we are notified in advance and your books are removed from your desk. WE GUARANTEE that if you pay more than four weeks’ tuition in advance, and the tuition is lowered, you will be paid back the difference. If the tuition is increased during the time for which you have paid, you will not be charged an extra amount. We are with you heart and soul to make your days at Michigan Busi­ ness & Normal College the most pleasant and profitable of your career. Our New School of Secretarial Science is under the Direction of Mr. Balcomb Our New Course in Public Accounting and Auditing is under the Direction of Mr. Menz Mr. C. A. Balcomb, director of School of Sec­ retarial Science, is a man of superior mental at­ tainments, a man of broad general education, and a breadth of experience that is not usually found in any one individual.

Mr. Charles Menz, director of School of Acs counting and Business Administration, is with­ out doubt one of the highest priced instructors in Michigan.

The Japanese are a proud and sensitive people and they misinterpreted the spirit of this con­ gressional action. They thought it was due to a feeling on our part that the Japanese are, an inferior people. That was far from the truth. Amer­ icans well understand that the Japan­ ese are by no mean® an inferior peo­ ple. The Japanese have proven their right to be regarded as the equal of nny race on earth in the matter of ac­ complishment, in the past sixty years. Japan has emerged from a state of feudalism in that time and has laconic one of the foremost powers of the earth. From a people, the great major­ ity of whom were very ignorant, she can now boast that her citizens are as intelligent as those of any other coun­ try. Rhe has a public school system, normal colleges, universities and a sys­ tem of compulsory education, which have resulted in making the Japanese one of the best educated peoples in the world. On the field of battle Japan has demonstrated her right to be con­ sidered a great power, and has de­ feated China and Russia, and it is prob­ able that man for man the Japanese army would be equal to that of any other nation. She has made groat strides in manufacture and commerce and has in sixty years taken on more of the things that make for civiliza­ tion, than other countries had accom­ plished in a thousand years. It certain­ ly was not because the Japanese people are an inferior people that Amoriea ex­ cluded the Japanese from immigration to this country.

SUBJECT ANNOUNCED SOVIET SUS8IA DOES MOT DESERVE RECOGNITION Essayb on “Intelligent Giving" BY UNITED STATES to Be Written by Students Repay That Oharity by At­ tempting to Destroy Our Government An Englishman, Charles Sarolca by name, han recently published a book entitled “ Impression® of Soviet Rus­ sia.” He had spent a great deal of time in that country for the purpose of giving conditions there a thorough and first hand study. What he reports will be interesting. It will be remembered that the Uni­ ted States appropriated many million® of dollar* and sent a commission to Russia for the purpose of saving the starving in two of its largest nnd or­ dinarily most protective provinces, where a famine was raging. At the very time that this was done, Soviet Russia was spending millions for the purpose of destroying other govern­ ment®, including our own, when we were giving. to relieve the starving people of that country. Official announcement comes from Russia that for 1925 two hundred mil­ lion gold rubles, approximately one hundred million dollar® of our money, ha® been appropriated for foreign prop­ aganda work. Famine is still preva­ lent in part® of Russia, and yot its vicious government can turn its eyes away from it® own suffering people *hd spend one hundred million dollar® of gold for the purpose of destroying organized government in other nations, including our own. And what does this Soviet govern­ ment aim to accomplish by the spend­ ing of such a large sum of moneyf It aim® to bring the same condition® in other countries that are in Russia, whore a few crafty men have seized the government, and by force are main­ taining themselves ns the ruling power in that country, although they call it a “Soviet” which might imply that the laborer® of Russia wore participat­ ing in the government. A® a matter of fact, less than three per cent of the Russian people are represented at all in its government, and of that three per cent only a very small fraction of one per cent have anything to say whatever about what Russia shall or shall not do, and yet they call their government an ideal which they want Continued on page 23. One of the important features in the Rhop Early—Mall Early campaign, which is being put on throughout the country by the Post Office Depart­ ment, is the proper addressing and se­ curely wrapping of Christmas pack­ ages. When you wrap your Christmas packages, wrap them securely, put your address in the upper left corner, so, if by any chance, it should go! astray, it can be returned to you and not sent to the dead letter office. The good folks of our community last year helped to bring joy and happiness to hundreds of thousands of postmen and elerks. Let's do it again this year, so that'we may again enable the postmen and the post office clerks to oat their Christmas dinners at homo with their families and at the same time assure ourselves of having our Christmas presents delivered to our friends in or­ der that they may be opened on Christ­ THERE mas morning.

We are certain that our eity readers will not aceuse the BANNER of being pessimistic with regard to Hastings. We have the firmest faith that when­ ever the people of this city see a situa­ tion that involve* ita future prosper­ ity, they always rise to the occasion. The writer can well remember when the people of this city realized that the building of the C. K. and S. railroad had cut off a large portion of its beat trading territory, nnd had resulted in taking away a largo percentage of farm patronage from local business house®, how splendidly tho citizenship of Hasting® met that situation. They saw that Hasting® must become ■ manufacturing town or that it must retrograde. Within two year® four manufacturing plants were built in Hasting®, os the result of their co­ operative effort®. Thus the loss of farm patronage was more than com­ pensated by the rapid growth of the city itself. We remember, too, when Howard Outsiders Should Not Be Per­ mitted to Solicit Here Un­ less Authorised to Do So “Intelligent Giving” is tho subject for tho last Thrift contest.

If the governor will have this in his mind during the com­ ing months at Lansing, we oelieve ho will get along better and the state will be profited. There is a real highway- problem in this state, for the money must come from some source to provide for the extensive highway program which the Evernor and his Executive council ve prepared for next year. There would be no problem of this kind if the governor had been wiser in the post. At least that is what the peo­ ple believe. While he was elected by over fonr hundred thousand majority, he owes his election to the Coolidge landslide. He is not unaware of the fact, probably, although he might be happier if he could forget it, that he ran two hundred thousand or more votes behind the President—■enough to have defeated him in any ordinary contest in this state. Therefore, the, fact that the Governor is at the head!

Tber* seems to be a general agree­ ment on tho part of all who are in the best position to judge the future that, given average crop* in America and freedom from war, this country is booked for at least four years of pros­ perity. That is a time which will nat­ urally mean the founding of many new industries. It ought to be possible to get a few of them to locate in Hasting®. We now have tho machinery, whereby a reasonable building program can be put across to take care of tho housing of an increased population. It seems to us as if the effort should bo made in tho near future to secure some now in­ dustries for Hastings.

If Governor Groesbeck will recom­ mend to the legislature a two cent ga® tax and a reasonable weight tax, in all human probability the legislature will gladly pass those measure*. But if, on the other hand, he shall insist on a weight tax alone, whieh will increase the cost of licenses to nearly every­ body, and shall ignore the gas tax, it is more than probable that it will take more than the time up to February 1 to settle the payment of license*. If he is looking for a fight he probably can get it; but we fail to see where he will gain any glory out of it, and his highway program yill certainly suffer. W« hope the governor has learned some lessons from his mistakes in the post. If he has not, he is la for * bad time, in oar judgment. TO STRESS GOV’T AID IN MARKETING SURPLUSES Our Readers Are Indebted to County Agent Bennett for This Report There was held in the city of Chi­ cago, Inst week Monday, what was called the National Council of Agri­ culture. It was organized for the dis­ cussion of problems relating to agri­ culture, for the purpose of helping the commission, recently appointed by President Coolidge, to consider what may be done to relieve agriculture of the serious burdens that had resulted from tho World war. A member of this commission wa* present at the meeting, for the purpose of hearing the discussion and gaining information that would be of assistance to the com­ mission. Our own county agent, Frank Ben­ nett, was present and attended all the sessions of this largely attended gather­ ing, and he reports that there was very keen interest in tho discussion* of the problems that were before that body. He savs that the discussions seemed to* center on tho following propositioM: 1. The preservation of American markets for tho American farmer, end the use of our protective tariff to such limit* as mav be necessary in order to reserve the benefits of our own mar­ kets for the farmers of the United State*. 2. Such assistance as the govern­ ment may properly render in enabling the farmers to dispose of surplus product* above the need* of our own country, which surpluses must he mar­ keted abroad. The very fact that these surpluses arc known, and because no organized effort is made to market them, there result* an indiscriminate slashing of price* that hurts the farm­ ing industry. An illustration was given showing that a five per cent increase in the cotton crop of this country had resulted in a twenty per cent reduc­ tion in the price of cotton. We must have surplus product* in order to pro­ tect the country from danger; but the assistance of our government, in some sort of organized way, must be given in order that nature’s bounty shall not work to the harm of tho American farmer. This one proposition was deemed by thia Council a® the para­ mount remedy for the farmers ’ ills, and Continued on page nine UNLESS WE WANT AUTOC­ RACY—SHOULD BUSY 2 OTH AMENDMENT IT PROPOSES TO GRANT DANGEROUS POWERS Every Parent Should Urge Michigan Legislature to De­ feat the Proportion The legislature of the state of Mich­ igan will have before it a proposition to approve or reject the proposed twen­ tieth amendment to the constitution of the United State®. Krction one of that amendment reads a® follows: “Congress shall have power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen year* of age.” No doubt the present congress, and the one elected in November last, would not go beyond the proper bounds in passing a child labor law that would not be an invasion of the personal and civil right® of parent® and children. But tho amendment confer® upon congress a power far beyond the mere regulation of ehild labor. It puts into the hand® of congress tho power to regulate, limit and prohibit the labor of persons up to the age of eighteen. As someone has well said, “This is a blank check which future congresses may fill out if they please. Under Jt the complete conjrol of the labor of all person® under eighteen, in every stat® and community may be taken out of the hands of the state, out of the hand* of the community, and oven out of the bands of parents and vested in a gov­ ernment bureau at Washington. No such sweeping invasion of personal, local and parental rights has ever be­ fore been proposed in this country.” We are very confident that if this proposition were submitted to a vote of the people of the state of Michigan it would be overwhelmingly defeated. Massachusetts ha® the most enlighten­ ed ehild laboy laws of any state in the union, and that commonwealth' has gone so far in the direction of regu­ lating and prohibiting child labor that it has driven into the south where child labor is not prohibited and not regulated, tho manufacture of the cheaper grades of cotton cloth.

That would help the eotton manufac­ turers of Massachusetts. But the peo­ ple of that state were so alarmed, over the proposition of having congress given carta blanehe to absolutely con­ trol the labor of all children in this country under eighteen years of age, that that state voted more than two to one against having the legislature of Massachusetts approve of this twen­ tieth amendment to the constitution of the United States. We believe that, if the voters of the state of Michigan understand what this amendment really means and ap­ preciate the fact that if thirty six of the forty eight states shall approve It, they will have given over into ' the hands of a government bureau at Washington, the complete control of the labor of oil persons under eighteen yearn of age in every state nnd in every community, thev will vote it down most emphatically. What is the sense, or what ean be the justification, of giving to any con­ gress the right to make etfeh an in­ vasion of personol nnd local nnd even familv rights as would be possible un­ der this amendment! We hooe the legislature of the state of Michigan will disauprove of thia amendment. If thev do not thev at least ought to submit it to a vote of the people be­ fore thev shall give H their approval. To the BANNER It seems unthinkable that the parents of the children of this state nnd the reasonable people of Michigan would ever be willing to grant any such authority ns that to anv congress. Henry fl. Pritchett, Presidept of the Carnegie Fonndation for the advance­ ment nt teachers, a former president of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nologv. also a former superintendent of the United State* Coast nnd Geodetic Rurvev, a man who stands as one of the foremost educators of this counter in a recent talk on this subject said: “Tha objections to the proposed amendment are of the gravest char­ acter, for thia legislation goes bevond any other measure yet enacted in breaking down the principles upon which our government rests. “Advocates of the measure urge that congress will not use this power except in a wise and temperate fashion. There ean be no nodrible assurance of sueh action. On the contrary, the same restless movement that has brought thia bill forward will continue to urge extreme action under It. Nor is thia all. for rules apd regulation* made by a bureau pursuant to an act of con­ gress has been construed as equivalent in effect to the law itself. Under this amendment, an aggressive bureaucrat nt the head of a Federal Child Labor bureau may exercise a dominance over the relation of children to parents or to teachers from which there la no ap­ peal. Many persons find their highest usefulness and happiness, as well ns their best development in entering gainful occupation before the age of eighteen. To confide to a federal bureau in Washington, the power to decide thia question for all such per­ sona in the United States is bureau­ cracy gone mad. “The notion that a centralised bureaucratic administration can better solve the social and educational prob­ lems of our American communities than the communities themselves is a singular phenomenon in a people hith­ erto devoted to the ideal of civil lib­ erty. Has the history of Prussia or of Franco, where the theory has been car­ ried to its logical conclusion, furnished any ground to believe that a bureau at Washington can regulate child labor in our widely varying commonwealths, more wisely than their own public opinion ns expressed through their state governments will do! “Local initiative and local sense of responsibility die under regulation by outside governmental administration of loeal duties. Our government is found­ ed on the principle of loeal self-gov­ ernment. Only on the basis of selfgovernment can a community sense of responsibility be kept alive. “If historv ia to bo trusted, this bill points straight to socialism—a so ciaJism of dependence under which more and more people live on or be­ hind the government. “ Under the powers of thia amend­ ment, sueeesrave congreaacs will vie with each other in extending its appli­ cation by specific statutes. Interfer­ ence with the gainful employment of will become more and more pronounced. In due time parents will make a claim for the enforced loan of the services of their elder children. By the same pro­ cess which the agitation has been ob­ tained, they will get it. “The so-called child labor amendmeat ia not a child labor measure. It will subvert free government and pro­ mote socialism. “If the day should ever arrive wheu tha people from the different parts of our country shall allow their loeal affairsbe administered by prefects sent from Washington, and when the self'governmeut of the states shall have been so far lost as that of the de­ partments of France, or even so far as that of the counties of England, on that day the political career of the American people will have been robbed of its most interesting nod valuable feature, and the usefulness of this na­ tion will be lamentably impaired.” SOME FUNNY THINGS HAPPEN AT A FIRE And the One That Happened Yesterday Forenoon Was by Ho Means an Exception There nre often some amusing things that happen, even at a fire, and the fire in the Newton building on Michigan Avenue yesterday forenoon was no exception. It happened that Fred B. Waters, of Irving township, eame to town about the time that the alarm sounded and he followed the crowd to the scene of the fire. He was especially interested when he found where the fire was be­ cause a cousin of his wife is one of the tenants. A dense block smoko was pouring out of the building and filled the hall­ ways. But Fred wanted to be of real service, so he darted up the stairway through the suffocating smoke to the flat where his wife’s relative lived, thinking that he could pdrhnps help save some of thtefurniture. Just as he commenced to try and kick down the door, tho piercing voice of a lady near, but whom he could not see on ac­ count of the smoke, rang out in blood­ curdling shrieks: “My baby, oh my baby!!” “For God’s sake, madam,” Fred in­ quired “is your baby in that room!” “Yes, yea,” the distracted woman cried, “Oh God, he Hl suffocate in that room.” The door to the woman *s apartment was opened and she rushed in, the smoke so thick that one could see noth­ ing, nnd so donee that it was suffocate ing. Fred groped his way in as fnr as ho dared and told her ho would stand by to give any help he could. One minute passed, then another and an­ other with no word from the distracted mother. Fred has henrt trouble, and being without a smoke mask, he stood the smoko and the excitement just as long as ho could, and feeling his path to the doorway ran down stairs and rush­ ed up to a fireman saying:— “My God; there’s a woman and her baby up in that room. They’ve been in there ten minutes nnd haven’t made a sound. They’ll soon be dead if help isn’t given them.” / At thia tho fireman rushed up stairs, followed by Fred. Just as they reach­ ed tho door, the woman was coming out, and in words choking with emo­ tion and gratitude she exclaimed:— “Oh, I found him; I found him, thank God, thank God.” Getting to the top of tho stairway, where they eonld see, the wopinn camo following on, bearing to her bosom her “baby”—4t was n big tom eat. MISSIONARY SOCIETY. The Missionary society of the Pres­ byterian church was entertained at the home of Mrs. Goa. Coleman on Tues­ day, Dec. 2nd. The lesson for the day was “The Leper” in charge of Mrs. Kilmer several ladies having a part in the program. It was all very inter­ esting and instructive. Mrs. Coleman was assisted by Mrs. DeVries and Mrs. Angell. The November meeting was entertained at the home of Mrs. E. C. Edmonds she being assist cd by Mrs. Wm. Grigsby. We learned a great many interesting facts about Alaska, Miss Cora Maek having charge of the program.

In order to avoid any possible delays through service of habenx corpus or other papers that might , prevent a prompt return of the prisoner to Mich­ igan, through legal procedure, they drove all night and headed for quite n large city. Neither of the officials had shaved for a week, the enr was cover­ ed with mud and considering the long trip to be mnde, neither one of them was garbed in-"full dress.” On the contrary they looked quite "seedy.” And to add to the Sheriff’s tough ap­ pearance his derby had been smashed down several times as he was thrown up into the top of the car while going at break-neck speed over some of those , Dakota roads. About five o'clock the next morn- | ing, after an all-night drive, a tire was punctured as they neared the I larger city, and they pulled up in front I of a garage about un hour later to get , their tiro repaired. The garage man ’ appeared cold and distant, and inform- | ed them that he could not fix their i tire, but directed them to another gar- ’ ago up the street ji block or two, where | they could have the necessary repairs t made. It happened that the night before | some bandits visited that city and I pulled off some hold-up jobs, and the « police were looking for them. Just ' as soon as the local officers left, the 1 first gnrage man rushed to the phone « nnd called up police headquarters, in- ’ forming the officers thdh the bandits | bad just left his place; that they were < "tough-lookers” and driving n high- ’ powered ear, covered with mud, and | if the officers hustled the desperadoes I tJ could bo found at'tho other garage a < block or so up the street. Boon after the officers and the prls- I oner stopped in front of this second « garage to get their tiro repaired, they ’ thought it rather strange that uniform- | ed police and plain-clothes men seem- | ed to bo approaching from every direc- ! tion. And they kept coming in closer I and closer all the time with their A hands within easy reach of their "pis- ■ tol pockets.” Scenting that something I was wrong the Prosecutor inquired | "How come!” Explanations wort’ ( duly made, and credentials were pro­ duced showing that the Barry county officials were not the ones wanted, and that the minions of the law were on the wrong track as far ns they were' WOODLAND. concerned.

BAMMBB WAMT ADS BAT FOOLISH WALL STREET (?) Consarn those Wall Street fellows, don’t they know that election is over! Just before election, when wheat jump­ ed way up to $U5 per bushel, La Fol­ lette charged that an abominable ring of Wall Stneet speculators had boost ci the price of wheat to that figure, through speculation, just to induce the farmers to vote for Coolidge. Today the price of wheat is $1.60 per bushel, and the price has been going up ever since election. Still we have not heard of LaFollotte apologizing for this mis­ statement. Being a prominent national legislator, it must be that he either never heard of the law of "demand and supply" or else he deliberately set out to fool someone. Of course, we have our own idea about it—and so did the fanners, judging from the elec­ tion results. SMITH—SWISHER.

Until tho past few months prices of American farm products had declined largely as compared with tho prices of manu­ factured products. This greatly re­ duced the purchasing power of the fanner's dollar, and made it hard for him to meet his taxes and his other running expenses. The power of the federal system of banking was used, following the war, for the purpose of deflating war time prices. That was all right, but it was carried to such aa extreme that it reacted terribly against the farmer. Other people were hurt, but none as badly as was he. The con­ sensus of opinion in this Chicago meet­ ing was that an effort eould and should be made by the government to aid in stablizing all prices, and that the fed­ eral reserve banking system could be utilized for that purpose. 4. Where a manufacturer quotes a delivered price, a raise in freight rates on his product means nothing to him. 'because he adds it to the price of his K product, and his customer pays it. Whore < retailer quotes a price on a product, the question of freight rate is not a vital concern to him, because he adds that to the cost of the article he sells, and the customer pay" lit these two cases It eau be seen that the manufacturer and the retailer do not themselves suffer from high freight rates because they ean fix the price to cover the increased item of freight. The fanner eannot do this. The price for his surplus, whatever it may be, is fixed abroad because this country ean­ not consume all its farm products, and whenever freights are raised he has to pay tho increase because he is not in a position to pass it on to the man who buys his product. In the judgment of this National Council of Agriculture, the government ought to so far take a hand in the fixing of freight rates as to arbitrarily aid the farmer in reduc­ ing the cost of transporting his pro­ ducts. Railroads mnat have revenue that will enable them to pay interest on their bonds and dividends on their stoek; but It would not matter to them if a Httle more were added to the rates of people who eould pass that rate on to the consumer and a little lew wan required of the farmer who eannot. 5. The government should be in a position to furnish first hand informa­ tion with regard to crop prospects and crops, to the farmer so that he could be, to a greater extent than he now is, guided in the matter of the acreage which he devotes to given crops.

Davis, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce here, who is studying journalism at Northwestern University, has written —i editorial on “Compulsory Voting,1 which is said to have been accepted by several large newspapers. The editorial fol­ lows: “Compulsory voting is a now idea .before the American people today. Voting in the past has been consider­ ed a great privilege, not every one be­ ing able to do so. Today we view it as a duty, a duty of every American 'citiaen who has the interests of his or her country at heart. We are disgust­ ed with our officials and deplore the corrupt conditions, but who is to blame* No one but the people them­ selves. They are the ones who put them in office. The trouble seems to be that the class of people who have been doing the voting haye not had very high standards. If it rains or if the weather is the least bit unpleasant the educated and thinking people don *t Eto the polls. However, on those ys one class of people are busy, namely the politicians. who spend! vast sums of money hiring ears to take the newly naturalized citizens to the polls. If we are to have good govern­ ment, we must have good, honest offic­ ials, and the only way to get good, honest officials is by 100 per cent vot­ ing. Any citizen who does not assume that privilege and great duty should be disfranchised, imprisoned, or fined or in some way be made an example in order to awaken the American peo- pie. The compulsory voting novnnest was started by Charles H. Davis of the Chamber of Commerce, who two years ago served on the International Commission nt the Rome meeting. The ides met with very favorable reception and received recognition by such maga­ zines as the World’s Work, The Na­ tion’s Business and International Ro­ tary. Is It Constitutional? “Then we turn to the old, old ques­ tion, is it constitutional* We find that our supreme laws says nothing about the right of a State to disfranchise, imprison, or fine voters who refuse to exercise that right, but merely says ‘The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied by any States on account of sex, race, color, or previous condition of servi­ tude.’ If we interpret the word abridge to mean disfranchisement such a movement would certainly be in conflict with the constitution unless an amendment to that supreme law could be added. The question before us is one of- momentous importance. Every citizen who has an interest in his or her community certainly is deep­ ly interested in the very grave danger confronting our nation. In the great problems that are before the President and Congress today, the support of the people is necessary. Something is need­ ed to arouse the citiaons to that reality. great Our constitution can make us long ns it developing nation only expands and develops with us. If it fails to do this it is worthless. The Federalist says: ‘Every government ought to contain in itself the means of its own preservation.’ How long can a government last with officials filling their pockets with the spoils of office, big interests, corporations and trusts who have paid for protection* This is what the American people are facing today unless public sentiment can be aroused to sanction the movement to put the publie opinion before Congress and to get a really great piece of con­ structive legislation through like the compulsory voting measure. “Judge Landis of baseball fame, compares the non-voter with the slack­ er of the late war. Anyone who re­ fuses or neglects to vote is just as much of u slacker and affects his coun­ try just as much,-if not more, than the person who stayed at home during the war to profiteer. “The question will then be asked, is it good policy, will the people baek such a movement, how will it be received* The questions can be easily answered. It has been tried with amazing results. In Mr. Davis* own citv the department stores and other businesses competed to see who could be the first to have their elerks or employees, as the case might be, registered and have in.their window the sign, ‘ 100 per eent registra­ tion in this building.’ The results were wonderful. The number of people registered were doubled in comparison with the number of the previous year. The people realize that the time has coinc for action on the part of the voters.—Lansing Capital News.

F PHONE HASTINGS, MICHIGAN �ECONOMY STRESSED IN COOLIDGE MESSAGE Principal sad Interest of na­ tional Debt Are Being Rapidly Bedneed PrmildMrt CooMdr”, mewage to Congress, which assembled December 1st, wu cbaraeteristic. The keynote wan " Economy, " and that la just what the people of the United States are glad to have their executive stress at the present time. In the Chicago Tribune of Wednes day, the eartoon on its first page <ive* an excellent illustration of the state of mind of the country with regard to the President's message. In the foreground of Che picture is President Coolidge, sitting at a piano and playing indus­ triously, and also earnestly singing from a sheet of music a song entitled “Economy." At a considerable dis­ tance in the rear congress and the bureaucrats of the departments are seated looking daggers at the Presi­ dent, because his economy program in- terferea with their plans. But Uncle Sam, whb is seated in an easy chair, his face wreathed with smiles, is quoted a* saying: "Gosh, I like those old New England folk songs." A tax­ payer, sitting up still closer to the singing President, is industriously dapping his hands for an encore. In this message, the President calls attention to the fact that the govern ment has reduced taxation over four hundred millions of dollars, for the present fiscal year. Despite that enor­ mous reduction in taxes, the estimated surplus for the year ending July 1, 1925 is $67,884,489. He clearly in­ timates that he expects a considerably larger surplus than that estimated for this fiscal year. For thin year, the big­ gest item is for interest on the public debt, $965,000/100. In suite of that big sum, there will be probably not far from $750,000,000 reduction of the principal^ of the national debt during the fiscal' year ending June 30th, next. For the year ending June 30, 1926, the item of interest is cut to $930,000,000 or a reduction of $35,000,000 from the previous year .and n still larger appro­ priation is made to reduce the princi­ pal of the public debt. In all prob­ ability, there will be paid on the prin­ cipal of the bonded debt of this coun­ try for the two yenrs ending June 30, 1926 not less than $ 1,500,000,000. And that’s going aqiue, we will say. President Coolidge believes, and the country stands with him on that prop­ osition, that th, thing to df> wit$ a national debt i> to puy it.

SECRETARY MELLON IS A NATIONAL ASSET Thl. country l» suiting » great deal ot utiilacllou over the feet the* toereUry ot the Trewury, Andrew Mellon, he. .hewn a Willingen., to continue nt the heed ot the Treasury department tor tour yenr. more Thai weane thet the finance, of our notion will be nandied by eno ot Un greeleel expert., a man who know* hi* job thoroughly and every detail of it. Congress will be wise if it ehall fol­ low his Buggertion* ax to how far’and by what percentage* it should reduce the tax on income*. With the over­ whelming indor»ement given to the ad­ ministration of President Coolidge at the recent election, Congress rtflst realize that this must include the finan­ cial program outlined by our distin­ guished Secretary of the Treasury. There ought, therefore, to bo no hesi­ tation in carrying out the recommenda­ tion* of Secretary Mellon at this time. It is remarkable what thi* canny Scotchman has done with the finances of our government. When he took over the Treasury j°K nati°naJ finances were in n very disorganized state. Our bonded debt was over twen­ ty-five billions of dollars, and the rate of interest ranged front four and one quarter to four and one half -per cent on our tax exempt bonds. Every issue of those bonds was below jar, and Mime of them were selling nt less than nipcty cents on the dollar. Our govern­ ment debt has now been reduced to twenty-one billion, two hundred fifty million* of dollars, and the annual in­ terest has been reduced from $1,100,000,000 to eight hundred and sixty five millions of dollars for this year, and it will be still further reduced to eight hundred thirty millionb of dol­ lars for the year ending June 30, 1920. An<l nil the bond issues are quoted at n good premium. A* rapidly ns pos­ sible, he is refunding the bonds at lower rates of interest. In all probabilitr, if ho shall remain at the head of the Treasury for the four year term of President Coolidge, our national debt will be reduced to eighteen billion* of dollars. Secretary Mellon looks upon the activities of our government very much as a big factory manager regards the depart incuts of his business, watching each of them closely to see where sav­ ings can be made and expense* reduced —not by taking a few cents from the daily wages-of a government employee —but rather by getting far more effici­ ent work done *ith a smaller force of employees and without reducing wages. Secretary Mellon does 'not recom­ mend that there bo any reduction of the income tax by the present Congress. He suggests waiting until next July when we can see gust what effect the reduced income tax rates, made by the last session of congress, will have upon government revenues for the year end­ ing June 30, next. The congress ean aet with full knowledge of facts be­ fore any changes shall be piade in the income tax rates. This country i* to bo congratulated on having this great wen giving his close personal attention to the finances of our government. Crashing Courtship She Is Asking for Cow Chow Give your cows what they need to maintain their bodies and make milk and they will pay you well. If you give them only what they need ' to maintain their bodies you may be sure that the milk pail will suffer. The difference in cost between a good ration and a poor one is very small, but the money spent will bring big returns in more milk at once, a longer lactation period and better calves. Let us help you balance a ration for your cows using the material you have on your farm and only supplying you with what your own feed lacks.

Edmonds Elevator & Implement Co CAREY U. EDMONDS, Manager. HASTINGS, MICH. PHONE 2118 Veterans of the World war who are suffering from tuberculosis, and from certain other diseases, should apply for compensation before Jan. 1, 1925, ac­ cording to Leo Herrington, Commander of the Lawrence J. Bauer Post of the American Legion. Even those veterans who previously have applied to the U. 8. Veterans’ Bureau and have been rejected should renew their clajmt, he declared, be­ cause a new law has made many such cases perfectly legal. The Commander invites all veterans to visit the next Post meeting Tuesday evening, Dec. 16 where Legionnaires will give as­ sistance in preparing claims. “It is most important that veterans should apply nt once,” said Mr. Her­ rington. “The time limit for thMr claims will soon expire. If there is any doubt in the mind ofjiny veteran as to whether his elaim cotnes under the act, he should get in {touch with the Legion. Besides tuberculosis the dis cases which are of the greatest import­ ance arc: paralysis ngitiu*; cncephnli tis legthargica or amoebic dysentery. We are aware that thos^ names may mean little to many veterans; that is why we advise all who are at all in doubt to get in touch with us. The relatives of veterans who are suffering from mental disease*—even those con­ tracted ‘through misconduct’—should see us. The full provisions of thn net are necessarily complicated, and we can only urge every possible benefici­ ary of the act to make his application immediately. “Those who attend the meeting should have with them their discharge certificates and any correspondence which they may have had with any governmental bureau. The Reed— Johnson Act, under which these ap­ plications may be received up to Dec. 31, 1924, was drafted by the American Legion, and is far more generous than any previous measure. Thus it is that veterans who previously have boon denied their claims may now recover them.” The Legion post, besides the welfare work such as outlined, is planning a winter of constant good times for its members, it was said. Tho Legion is growing in popularity with veterans, and all over the state as well as locally is showing a healthy growth in mem­ bership. Many of the mistakes made in the days of ‘mushroom growth’ have been outgrown and forgotten. Relieve that hoarseness and are the most palatable Cough Drop on the market.

Photo Transmission * I Through the Air | Ths surprising development of radio | was shown last week, when pictures tf < President Coolidge and Prime Minister]' Baldwin, of England, were readily rent through the air from London to the . United States by radio waves. These pictures, which have been re­ produced in the daily papers in this eountry as they were sent from across , the Atlantic, have some defects, of course, because thia new art is in its 1 infancy. But they wcre readily dis­ tinguishable as the pictures of the two men. Thin is just the beginning of a new 'development of radio. We can sec what will some day Ih> done in hunting criminals also. Crim inn I* will have their pictures sent to every quar­ ter of the world. This will help to , make their detection easier. No doubt tho art will be greatly per­ fected in the future and it will become , increasingly useful in keeping the na­ tions of the earth in closer touch with each other, as we get picture* of per- , sons and scenes in other countries over the radio.

Framed Motto Helpful PLAN WILL SIMPLIFY AUTO REGISTRATION Secretary DeLand to Ask Leg­ islature to Change Pres­ ent Regulation The legislature will be asked by Secretary of State Chailca J.' Detmad to amend the motor vehicle license laws to eliminate the necessity of notarising applications for” license plates, ho said recently. Under the present law applicants must swenr to tho description of the car. This pro­ cedure, according to Mr. DcLand, is entirely unnecessary because licenses nro issued only to holders of certifi­ cates of title which have been sworn. Mr. DcLand hopes to have tho amend­ ment passed early in the session so H can bo used for issuing 1925 plates, which will not start until nt least Feb. 1. Now simplified application'blanks will bo prepared to comply if the pro­ posed amendment is made. Plans arc to be perfected in the next day or two for taking care of new cars purchased between now nnd the date when 1925 license plates will be issued. Rccause of the action of the adminis­ trative board in deferring the faitiance of plates until Feb. 1, it is planned to give owners of now machines a sot of 1924 plates, without charge, for use until the 1925 plates arc available. Other owners will continue tho use of their 3924 plates until next year’s can be secured. WOODLAND. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Durkee enter­ tained Mr. and Mrs. Will Wells of Coldwater and Mr. and Mrs. W.

"Why—why, my dears,” murmured Grandma, looking bewildered. •Look up," laughed Sue. Grandma did, and there was a huge bunch of mistletoe over the door. "Lead the queen to her throne and render homage," ordered Kate. There was a raised chair decorated with holly and mistletoe, near one side of the fl replace.

The man who owns an oil well is not pros­ perous unless there is an active demand for his oil. The mere possession of oil signifies nothing—it is of no profit It is valuable only when it is put to use. The main function of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is to make oil usable and to put the finished products where people can get them without effort By bringing oil products within the reach of everyone, at prices low enough to make them available to alL this Company creates new wealth and makes it active and usable. A gallon of gasoline manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a definite economic value, because it repre­ sents a potential service when put to tee in a running motor. The power—the service—latent in this gasoline will propel your car 8 to 22 miles m the pursuit of business or pleasure. In using it you derive pleasure or profit— or both—and by using it you are adding to the general prosperity—by releasing a def­ inite amount of capital for further use.

Christmas Candies You are soon going to need Christmas Candies. All we ask of you is that you come and see our line. There are none better than Brooks the other governments of the earth to follow. Over eighty per cent of the population of Ruaria consists of pea#anta. They have no voiee, and no rela­ tion whatever to the government. Only a small fraction of the laborers, and those are the communists, are j>ermitted even to vote, and their votes really count for nothing, since an autocratic government, far more autocratis than the Czar, and far more vicious, rules the country as it pleases, and has kept itself in power by the murder of thou­ sands and thousands of the best peo­ ple in- Russia, and by sending many more thousands as exiles into Siberia, and by putting very many more thouiwins into the miserable Russian jails and prisons. In other words, the - Soviet government rules by fear.

SCHOOLCHILDREN T0SNGCIR0L5 * FOUR AUCTIONS * TWO HUNDRED KIDDIES BE ING CARED rOR AT OTTER LAKE LADIES’ AUXILIARY FURNISHING COTTAGE Lawrence J. Bauer Post Is As­ sisting in Drive for Main­ tenance Fund Over in the Thumb district of Michi­ gan is the flrsl American Legion Chil­ dren’s Billet to be established in the 'v~ United States. Here children of the buddies who did not come back cared for, as are also the children of ___ men____ who________________ are disable*!. It ... is, _as the name implies, only a temporary place for them until some better homo can be found. At present there are four cottages there. The fifth one will be soon com­ pleted. It is for this that the Amer­ ican Legion, Department of Michigan, will present to the Billet at Christ­ mas time of this year, the sum of $15,000.00. This will be Michigan’s special task. The cottage will be the heart gift of the Legion to the children of its comrades. There are now 200 chil­ dren waiting to be taken to Otter Lake, so Michigan must not fail. The Ladies* Auxiliary of Michigan have taken upon themselves jbe furnishing of the cot­ tages. It is for this purpose that the Lawrence J. Bauer Post is putting on their drive this year—to faiso funds for its share of the $15,000.00. Besides this, it is the intention of the Port officers to have every ej-scrvice man in this community become a member of the Legion. The next meet­ ing will be held on Tuesday evening, Jan. 6 at the Legion rooms. Any in­ dividual, aside from Legion members, desiring to make a contribution to this worthy cause may do so by getting in "touch with any of the Legion officers. Thia is one of the many things that the American Legion is doing in MichiAn. Everyone knows of lhe Roose­ velt American Legion hospital for tuaercular veterans at Battle Creek, Michigan, established there through the efforts of Michigan’s Legion membemAjj).

REID, JR., WASH­ INGTON REPRESENTATIVE TALKS STRAIGHT GIVES AMPLE REASONS FOR HIS OPPOSITION Proposed 20th Amendment Is Not Reform, It’s To Set Up Bureaucracy Edwy C. Reed, Jr., of Washing­ ton, D. C., son of tho well known Alle­ gan editor, evidently is a chip off the old block and does not hesitate to speak his mind when the occasion de­ mands. The influences behind the proposed twentieth amendment, known as the child labor amendment, which would give to congress absolute control of the labor of all persons in the United States under eighteen years of age. without reference to tho rights of states, schools or parents, are evidently somewhat disturbed because the coun­ try is not taking kindly to this social­ istic move. No one would object to a child labor law which is designed to protect chil­ dren from injustice and wrong and to give them the privileges of schooling: but to hand over to*any congress the right to do what it pleases about the control of the labor of all persons un­ der eighteen years of age is a grant­ ing of too much authority. The coun­ try is being aroused because of it. Some of the influences back of this law have charged the American Fann Bureau Federation with “upholding the exploitation of child labor’* beof the sponsors of the amendment. Edwy C. Reed is the Washington represeirtativo of the Fann Bureau. He replied to the critics of the Fann Bureau’Federation as follows: “We arc fighting the proposed twen­ tieth amendment because we object to the setting up of a central bureau in Washington clothed with authority to meddle and interfere with the farm boys and girls, as is the plain intention of the sponsors of the amendment. “The same sentimental theorists who have succeeded in persuading con­ gress to submit the amendment to the state legislatures could readily per suade congress to set up a bureau, or enlarge the present children’s bureau, (Continued on page 4) • LITTLE TOLHURST GIRL BURNED WHILE PLAYING "Bridal Veil” Ignited When the Child Went Too Near to Fire Place Sunday about noon, the little daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Tolhurst was visiting the children of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Osborn and the children decid­ ed to play “wedding” with tho Tol­ hurst girl ns the bride.

The girl was burned quite badly, but the fact that 1 she was wearing her hat prevented more serious injuries, for which all are .grateful. SMALL ATTENDANCE AT AN­ NUAL MEETING 07 AGBICULTUEAL SOCIETY ALL OFFICERS WERE RE-ELECTED SATURDAY Nice Profit Made on Last Barry County Fair—Have Three Available Sites The annual meeting of the Barry County Agricultural Society was held at the court room on Saturday. There was not a large attendance. Every­ body realizes that the present officers of the society could not be improved upon and they feel that well enough is all righty So there was not a large out­ pouring of Society members. The most interesting matters to come before the meeting were the re­ ports of the Secretary, John J. Dawson, for the year, and the report of the Treasurer, Guy E. Crook. Mr. Dawson reported the total re­ ceipts from the 1924 fair 815,489.15; total cost of the 1924 fair, including repairs to the buildings and grounds $13,463.62; yielding a net profit for the year of $2,025.53.

CONTRIBUTE TO VERY WORTHY ENTERPRISE. The city council, Friday evening, recognized the splendid work being done in this city by Rev. Edw.

This gathering was called by State Conservation Director John Baird, and for several days those attending gave their undivided attention to a real pro­ gram to be presented to the legislature which will meet at Lansing next month. The action taken by this gathering was substantially ns follows: 1. Recommended that at least fif­ teen thousand acres of the waste land in northern Michigan, now owned by the state, be set out each year to forest trees and protected from fire. 2. That the conservation commiaaion be given the fullest possible power and authority, and such additional ap­ propriation as may be required, for preventing the continued pollution of the streams and inland waters of this state. 3. THat the conservation depart­ ment acquire as rapidly as possible game refuges and public shooting grounds in various section* of the state, including the deer yards of the upper peninsula, and that the legisla­ ture grant power for permanent setting aside of Buch grounds. 4. Enactment of a rod and gun li­ cense, requiring all sportsmen to pay >1.50 to fish and hunt, or 11.00 for cither, separately. The purpose of this is to build up fish hatcheries in Michigan and to give the State Con­ servation Department the means to ac­ quire nnd protect game refuges and shooting grounds. 5. Limitation of parrying fire arms in hunting woods daring the closed Reason. 6. Closing of the partridge season for one year. 7. Opening of shooting season on male Mongolian pheasant* for four days in November 1925, with a limit j>f two birds per day. R. Declaring for a complete ban, cm the use, possession or sale of fish wear* in all sections of Michigan. • 9. Favoring the extension of the system of fish hatcheries so that they will be sufficient for the entire peed* of the lakes and streams of Michigan. 10. Recommending a high spot sur­ vey of the lakes and stream* o{, this state. 11. Placing black bear in protected game class and banning the use of Iwar .traps. 12. Establishing of two “fest days” during which duck hunting would be prohibited throughout the state during the duck shooting season. 13. Closure of muskrat season for two years. 14. Complete revision nnd codifica­ tion of the game and fish lavs of this state. There met with the gathering many of the big lumbermen of Michigan, in­ cluding such men as John Blodgett, of Grand Rapids, as well as several others. They all urged that the state under­ take n forestry program nnd consist­ ently stick to ft. While it would coat some money jyi«l the state would get no returns on it for a few years, the tirrte would net be far distant when a considerable revenue would bo de­ rived from the sale of product* of state owned forests. A recommendation was unanimously passed favoring such amendments to the tax law as would exempt lands given over exclusively to the growth of forest trees from taxation, so ns to encourage the growing, of timber in this state by individnailand owners.

This in well worth doing. Mr, Vnode Walker aaid he could give almost num* berlexs eaae* where- deformed nnd erippled children had been either wholly cured, or their defect* so rem­ edied that they had become self sup­ porting member* of nociety. He men­ tioned the ease of Ethel Kwnrtzmiller. Throtinfa Rotary organization this girl, then ei^toen, was found nix years ago and wan taken to Ann Arbor to an orthopedic doctor, who worked for a long time and finally helped her to such an extent that, through Rotnrian help, she was able to attend the Ypsilanti Normal college. Bhe had to crawl on her hands and knees up the twenty or more steps, leading into the building where her classes recited, and was glad enough 40 be able to-do that as she had previously been entirely helpless. She was taken back and forth from Ypsil­ anti to Ann Arbor for treatment, and when she completed her studies, some­ thing like a year ago, she was able to Kt -along with the aid of a cane, and d so far recovered the use of her hands that she could drive an automo­ bile. At the present time sho is teach­ ing a country school not far from I*apeer, and is doing excellent work. Recently a clinic wn* held in La­ peer by the Rotary club there. Rhe drove to that clinie in a Ford ear, bringing with her two badly crippled children, who lived in the neighbor­ hood of her school. Who has expressed tho wish that she might ba able to pro­ ceed further with her studies, so that she could be able to conduct a school for crippled children herself, and has said that if others would see to just her bare living expenses, she would de­ vote the rest of her life, without money nnd without price, to the teach­ ing of crippled children. Rhe is now able to earn her way, nnd is a self-sup­ porting member of society, whore lx* fore she wns n liability to tha tax­ payers dnd would have cost them sev­ ere! hundred dollars a year. That is only one of many hundred cases thnt have been restored to self-sustaining membership in society through the efforts of the Rotary clubs nnd other philanthropic organizations. Mr. VandeWnlkor Instanced tho ense of Alvnh Bunker, whose father was n common drunkard in Toledo. His moth­ er wns doing the best she could to sup­ port Alvah nnd tho other children by taking in washings. Alvah wns born without hands nnd lower limbs. Someone had taken interest enough in him to fix up a little board to which he was strapped, nnd underneath which were fastened two roller skates. Thus strapped to that board, thia poor, de­ formed creature pushed himself around in the alleys of Toledo not daring of course to get out onto the streets. Ten years ago this human derelict reraa discovered by a member of the Toledo Rotary club. He was given artificial hand* and legs nnd sent to aehool. Now he in able to drive nn automobile, and is continuing his studies and has become n self-support­ ing, self-respecting member of society, anxious to get further education, in order thnt he may devote all of his time to helping other crippled children. Literally thousands of cases just like this could be mentioned. There is in the city of Detroit nn in­ stitution thnt has been in operation for about four years, the purpose of which is to help crippled children to become self supporting. The state fans paid sixty six thousand dollars to help that school in the past two years. In a little over tworyearn, four hundred twenty six of these unfortunates have been physically helped or cured, nnd have been educated nnd trained in this school or nre now being educated nnd trained, of whom two hundred and twenty nine nre still there. In a little over two years $121,000 has been paid to support this school. The expense of giving physical help and of educat­ ing the two hundred who are now out not yet through tho school has been $1213)00. Within the period named, the two hundred who have finished work in the school and have been help ed as far a* medical aid could help them, have earned $573,493.20. A part of thia one hundred twenty thousand must be considered as being used for the two hundred twenty nine who arc still in the institution, so that the total expense of the work done for the two hundred, who are now earning their own way, has been less than one hundred thousand dollars. Can you think what n dividend that means to the state of Michigan on its invest­ ment io this school 1 Can you think what it means to poeiety to spend less than one hundred thousand dollars for the help of people who are absolutely helpless and put them in a way to earn almost $600,000 in a little over two £ears! What great results would fbl>w if the state of Michigan could tnkc over all the crippled children, who would otherwise become public charge*, and give them tho advantages of sueh an institution as this, nnd make every one of them what he or she possibly could become, n self respecting mem­ ber of society! The greater part of them could be so helped. Mr. VandcWalker said that while the University of Michigan, in Rs new hospital, is preparing to reserve three hundred hod* for such work as this, and while there arc other institutions thnt can care for quite a number of them, still the total capacity of all the institutions for the relief of crippled children in Michigan would take care of not more than twelve hundred in­ dividual rases in a year. In some in­ stances, it would require two or three years on a single case. In other cases a few months would answer. Tn al­ most every instance, it requires a amsiderablc time to help them. It would seem as if no finer field for the state of Michigan to do n renl ser­ vice to Its people, and nt tho same time save money for its people, could Im- of­ fered than that of providing a way of caring for the fifteen thousand cripmu — ....... num ....... £led ruiiuii-u children IM in thastnte, whose incensed to the extent ors are arc being being increai thousand to twelVe hundred . . . yenr, according to statisitirs. Rotary never did a finer service than when it’ called the attention of the people of the state of Michigan to the urgent need of humane nnd wise no­ tion to help these crippled members of society, and in the end it will bo found a great economy nnd a saving to the taxpayer. In. Barry county Rotary has aided several crippled children. If their arc others who can bo helped, or whom you think ean be helped, please notify Chas. R. Potts, of this city, who is tho chairman of tho committee on eripplcd children chosen by the Hastings Rotnry Club. BRANCH DISTRICT. Tha Mudge school is closed on ac­ count of scarlet fever. Mrs. V.

As these arc of importance and should be understood by all who attend the games, we are publishing the article received. Fifteen changes in basketball rules and interpretations for 1924-25 arc ex­ plained bv Edwin J. Mather, Univer­ sity of Michigan varsity basketball eonch, to coaches and nthletie direc­ tor* of high schools and college.* in Michigan, who met today in n rules convention. . One of the first rilles deals with tho conduct of substitutes entering the game. The new ruling states that a substitute must report his name, num bor nnd position to the scorer before going on the floor. The scorer will then sound his horn nnd the substi­ tute reports to the referee. Ho must then actually participate in the game before being withdrawn. This ruling is to prevent substitutes being sent in merely to pass information .to team­ mates nnd then be withdrawn without playing. This vear, the umpire is given more jurisdiction than in former years, over the ball. In many year, yic, ... -------- instances Inst time-keeper’s gun failed to rejiort nt fihe conclusion of the half or of the • ___ — the time-keeper Anr.rwr is i. game. ...» This year, allowed to go out on tho floor nnd stop piny in such n circumstance. In for­ mer years, this might have been count ed as n foul in case the time-keeper were affiliated with either team. Tho new rules are also clear on tho matter of fouls made in the act of shboting. Under present regulations, if n foul is committed after the ball has left the player’s hands on its wny toward tho basket, tho goal, if made, counts ns though no foul were com­ mitted, and two free throws arc award­ ed?_ . . Pivoting is likewise given definition. Just so long ns the player’s pivot foot does not leave the floor. ho may hold tho ball and place his other foot in any place, even pivoting entirely about in his effort to elude the opposing player. Another change deals with'dribbling. In the ense of dribbling from a pivot, the dribble must start before the pivot foot leaves tha floor. This ruling eliminates running with the ball nt the start of the dribble. The repeated awarding of fouls is now termed “multiple throws.’’ Ruch often ofeur when the crowd hisses an official and nre his weapon in control­ ling the crowd. In tho case of high schools, inter­ mission between the second and third quarters is shortened to 10 minutes. Ono minute intermissions nro made legnl between the end of the game nnd each 5 minute overtime period played in case of ties. Tho now regulations nlso state thnt in case a foiri is awarded n player and. as a result, he is allowed one or more free throws, ho must attempt to tally by these free throws himself or other­ wise they do not count. This ruling prevents n tcam-mnte attempting the free throws. Timo allotments for free throws nro nlso given attention and a free throwmust be attempted within 10 seconds after squaring away. This ruling is designed to prevent stalling. Another important ruling allows officials to ignore violations in case they arc made to give an advantage. For example, a shorter center might fail to place one nrm behind his back in order to-have the official give tho ball to nn opposing player out of bound*. This, .while a disadvantage, would be less of an advantage than to have the taller center direct the ball to a certain position from the toss-up. Another change modifies tho award ing of foul* mode on a player in the act of shooting. Under the new rules, a foul committed on a player in possession of tho ball inside the 17 foot lino give* him two free throw*. A foul committed on n player outside the 17 foot Jine gives him one> free throw, but if committed while in the act of shooting a basket, two free throws are allowed.

A CORRECTION. In the Carlton Center items in the November 26 issue, the statement was made that J. J. Ktrodtbeek received a broken arm. while operating a new milking machine. As a matter of Justice to all concern­ ed, a correction of this item should be made. The accident hnjijxncd as follow»;-Mr. 8t rod t berk was adjusting one of the eupe preparatory to milking the cows, and one of the cows was nervous because of not being accustom­ ed to the machine, and began to kick. While kicking, the cow, in some man­ ner, hit Mr. tttrodtbeck in such a way as to break his arm. The accident was not due to any defect in or trouble with the milking machine, but was due solely to a nervous cow. RYAN—MARYIN MARRIAGE.

COOLIDGE SAVED I PEOPLE *1,300.00 ON HIS TEIP TO THE LIVE STOCK SHOW AT CHICAGO By Biding in a Pullman Car Instead of Going by Spe­ cial Train A fine example of practical economy was shown by President Coolidge last week, when in attending the Internat­ ional Live Stock Exposition at Chi­ cago, where he gave an address, he traveled in the drawing room of a Pullman coach instead of going by a special train, as has been the custom of Presidents for several years. By travelling as he did, it saved the peo­ ple of this country over <1300. This was simply “practicing what he is eternally preaching”—-ECON­ OMY—and it could come from no bet­ ter source than from the head of our government. If Congress, state gov­ ernments, county governments, city governments, town and township gov­ ernments will fall in line with what the President of our country is preach­ ing, and what he is teaching, we will soon reach the point where high living coets will commence to be lowered— and not until then. .. rt...TlT.,—— We ean talk about it as we may, but when you get right down to bed roek, the lifting of the' great burdens of taxation from the shoulders of the peo­ ple is the most important question up for solution. This government can be of more real help by lifting the tax burdens from the people, than it can be in any other way. Establishing the “Budget System” in otir national gov­ ernment has been of wonderful help, and, through it, expenses are being pared down to the bone. Hundreds and hundreds of millions are being saved each year, and our national debt has been reduced over FOUR BIL­ LIONS of dollars, and this in the face of constantly reduced tax burdens. If the same careful pruning down of expenses would be followed in the . leaser divisions of government, such as states, counties and cities, . that would be accomplishing something worth while. While national expenses used to take the greatest share of the tax dollar, it now takes but 27 cents of it, the rest of it being used by * states, cities and counties. The national government is “show­ ing the way” to tax reduction, which it is hoped will be followed in all states and in all counties and communities, because it ia the one great means of reducing living costs. In his efforts to reduce national expenses to still lower levels President Coolidge is entitled to the united support of Congress, and the people, the “consumers” who in the end have to stand the big brunt of taxes, should demand that their Repre­ sentatives in the National Congress stand by the President. In our present highly specialised in­ dustrial situation, where small profits and quantity production is the aim. the great burden of taxation now laid Son industry is necessarily added to o cost and the CONSUMER pays it. For instance last year the Ford In­ dustries paid over <14,000,000 in in­ come taxes. That's quite a consider­ able sum. Does anyone think for a moment that in figuring up the cost of doing business that Henry would over­ look this item of <14,000,060.00! Not for one minute. He doesn't do busi­ ness that way. If he had made a prac­ tice of overlooking such items ho prob­ ably could not have long continued making automobiles. No, he considered that <14,000,000 and if you bought a Ford car, or a Buick, or a Studebaker or any other car made by a prosperous, successful concern, you paid your “bit” of that tax. The same thing in true of sugar, salt, tobaeeo, candy and a thousand and one other articles you may have bought. Cutting down the expense of government in the form of high taxes, which the consumer pays, will cut down the eost of living. President Coolidge is on the right track and should have the united sup­ port of congress. CENTRAL RUTLAND.

More than a month has elapsed since Coolidge was elected. In the meantime wheat has advanced in price from <1.35, where it was in September, to <1.60 or more a bushel. If Senator L« Follette did not know that there was a world shortage of wheat, which brought about the in­ creased price at the time he made his ridiculous statements before election he is not the well-informed max that people have generally credited him with being. But he did know better, at the time he made the misstatements. The fact that he made them, in the face of wel’ known world conditions, had not s little to do with bringing himself and his campaign methods into the dis repute which resulted in such a meagre showing for him at the polls.

The case wax appealed from the Jus­ tice Court to the Circuit Court, and the trial occurred Friday before Judge North at Battle Creek. The court room was filled with spectators. Dog cases in­ variably draw crowded houses. It was n peculiar thing too that nt this trial, the hound performed just ns ho did in the trial in Justice Court. Just ns the Prosecutor wax reaching the climax of his closing plea and paying a beautiful tribute to the devotion of a dog to his master, the hound let out n heart-break­ ing howl that caused both court and jury to shake with laughter. But the interesting part of the trial was that after alwut 20 minutes de­ liberation, the jury returnc*l a verdict in favor of Mr. Downs; who now has his hound.

He proceeded to illustrate his meaning by giving several hundred millions of dollars to funds for the founding of public libraries, and also endowed technical schools and colleges, to^give young mon the chance for an education which he, as a boy and young man, bad never had. Only a small percentage of his great fortune was given to his only child, a daughter. John D. Bockeffeller has been the most princely giver, of nil time. The Chicago University is -a monument largely to his generosity. He has given hundreds of million* for endowing schools nnd colleges in this country, and for medical research, nnd to carry on public health campaign* io our own as well as in other lands-. Last week two very rich men, one in Rochester and the other in North Carolina, likewise made large bene­ factions for the benefit of their felow men. Eastman, the kodak man, who had already given nearly fifteen millions of dollsni to help colleges, made a further appropriation of fifteen millions of dollar* to help the Bochchester University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other wor­ thy educational institutions. Mr. Duke, the wealthy tobacco man­ ufacturer of North Carolina, gave to philanthropic and educational institu­ tions in the south, mostly in North ami South Carolina, the pnneely sum of $25,000,000. M>. Eastman gave SI,000,000 to the Tuskegee school in Alabama and nn equal amount for a college for colored men in Virgins. These ssll go to show that the powoors of great weahh are coming more and more to realize that wealth is a trust, entrusted to them, and that they have no right to use this trust for pure­ ly selfish ends, but must also use it for the good of mankind. We believe this view of riches is becoming the ac­ cepted view, and that the very wealthy mon arc becoming convinced that they must use a largo proportion of their money for the good of others, because it would demonstrate their own unfit­ ness for the trust, if they used it sel­ fishly.

The history of cracking, as a commercial de­ velopment, is written large in the annals of this organization. It is impossible to calculate the good which— directly or indirectly—has come from the de­ velopment of this scientific process for in­ creasing the world’s supply of gasoline. Without it the great automotive industry, which has influenced to so striking a degree the every-day life of the people of this country, never could have attained its present gigantic proportions. In 1913, American refineries produced about 1,000,000,000 gallons of gasoline, which con­ stituted about 12'/2$ of the crude oil run in refinery stills. In 1923, American refineries produced about 7,500,000,000 gallons of gasoline, which consti­ tuted about 30% of the crude oil run in refinery stills. A substantial part of this increase was made possible by the Cracking Process. The Burton Process, developed in the labora­ tories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), is acknowledged to be the first commercial pro­ cess available and, while others have developed processes to achieve similar results, the greater part of the gasoline made by the Cracking Process comes from Burton stills. 920,203.75 Balance —........... ..........

S. Senate Hears From the Country in the 1924 Election and Governs It­ self Accordingly Quito evidently the Conme of the United States is disposed to sit up and take notice of the tremendous indorse­ ment of President Coolidge’s campaign for economy, given in the recent na­ tional election. It will be remembered that last spring President Coolidge vetoed the proposed sixty two million dollar in­ crease in the pay of poatnl employees. His veto was not based upon any op­ position to increased pay for the hardworkhd employee*, but because con­ gress had made no provision, whatever, for raising the revenue of the post office department so that it could be paid without additional taxation upon the people of this country. There is no doubt about a very strong senti­ ment favorable te larger pay for the postal employees because of the fact, as compared with other workers of a similar character, they are underpaid. But to set out to make their pny what it ought to bo without making corresponding provision for increase in the postal revenue was folly, as the President dearly pointed out. At the last session of congress the Senate, with only three dissenting votes, proposed to pass this sixty two J million dollar appropriation for in­ creased postal salaries over .the Presi­ dent’s veto. The House did not con­ cur, because the session was so near its dose. At the present session there is just as strong a feeling for the post­ al increase ns there was before among the United States senators. But ac­ cording to press dispatches from Wash­ ington, in the face of the overwhelm­ ing Coolidge vote in the country, a majority of the senators have declared that they never will vote to pass such an appropriation over the Presi­ dent’s veto at this session, which Mortimer C.

Calvin Furlong h not quite so well K ___ PHONE 2103 HASTINGS CITY BANK MICHIGAN MAN WORLD’S CHAMPION ALFALFA RAISER The best alfalfa hay in the world is being grown In Michigan, it was demonstrated at the International Grain and Hay Show at Chicago last week when A. W. Jewett{ Jr., of Mason, not only walked away with first honors in the alfalfa hay classes but also with the grand sweepstakes award. So im­ pressive was Jewett’s victory that his winning bale of hay was bought by the Blue Valley Creamery Institute of Chicago to demonstrate to the aver­ age farmer the possibilities of this crop. Jewett’s entries have become noted for the ribbons they have a habit of carrying off. He has successfully ex­ hibited every year since the grain show opened six years ago but this year he outdid himself in spite of the unusually stiff competition attending a good hay year. Alfalfa is his pet crop and he thinks that the time will soon be here when each farmer will raise at least one aire of this hay for each cow he keeps or the equivalent for other live­ stock. In a radio talk which he broadcasted from WL8, Jewett told the “secret” of successful hay raising. “Good, hardy, northern-grown Grimm is the first consideration. A well-prepared fall-plowed seed bed is important and special attention should be paid to the curing, for sun and moisture spoil both the appearance and feeding value of alfalfa. I never attempt to ent for hay the first year, and my winning bale is from a two-year stand, from the second of three cuttings. It was the pick of 40 acres and was baled by hand. It weighs 50 pounds, is of a real green color and smells good enough to tickle the palate of the most fastidious cow.” Another Mason man who placed well at the International was L. H. Laylin. He took the highest rating in mixed hay, timothy and clover as well as in the prairie and other hay classes. The Region 2 flint award went to R. F. Jewett, also of Mason. The highest premium in soft red winter wheat went to C. D. Finkbeiner, of Clinton, and first in rye to Geo. and L. G. Hutxler, of 8. Manitou, who also took the sweepstakes for the best rye sample. J. A. Wilk, Alma, was first in soy beans for Regions 1 and 2 and also in field beans. The junior yellow corn ribbon went to Lynn Wortley, of Rush­ ton. A Hinsdale county boy, Coe E. Emens Jr., was declared the country’s champion in the National Health con­ test. Foreat Inaacta. Foresters and entomologlnts of the United States Department of Agricul­ ture say that the losses caused by In­ sect attacks upon living trees and crude, finished and utilised forest prodacta amounts to 1130,000,000 annually.

If you give them only what they need to maintain their bodies you may be aure that the milk pail will suffer. The difference in cost between a good ration and a poor one is very small, but the money spent will bring big returns in more milk at once, a longer lactation period and better calves.

The plan proposes th* erention of a farmers’ export corporation to segre­ gate and dispose of surplus farm com­ modities—limiting the government par­ ticipation to the bare minimum neces­ sary to a comprehensive * grant Of power. The proposal differs from the *p*rti»—eliminating the ratio prk*» M»«i the powers conferred upon tho Presi­ dent to fix tariff rates at will. It aims' to secure benefits of existing tariff schedule* instead of creating new ones. The corpornt ion is simply set up to buy up exportable surpluses when the existence of them causes tho domes­ tic market to be depressed below the measure of protection which present tariff schedules should, but do not( aff ord Arid dispose of them in the world markets at .world prices. This would 'mean that major farm commodities produced and used in tho United State* would sell on American levels instead of on world levels, a* at present. The plan of the farmers’ export corporation is designed to aid and sup­ plement co-operative marketing. The adoption of the plan, it is pointed put, would enable co-operative commodity marketing organizations to function ef­ fectively. At present they are not fully effective since they are not able to dispose of surpluses and assess the losses back upon tho benefited pro­ ducers without putting a penalty on organization members to benefit non­ member*.

V those who are dear to us by dihip, we contribute to the happiness of children and turn kindly thoughts upon the unfortunate. Each year sees a greater tendency to assist these latter with something more substantial than thoughts. In all parts of America, and we assume that the same is true of other portions of the civilized world, there is manifested an increasing desire to help. Few communities, towns or dries lack organized efforts for the carrying of real Christmas-cheer to every destitute family, that the latter, at least, may not regard the day, its symbols and promises as things of empty significance. This is in accord­ ance with the teachings of Him for whom the day was named, and evidences the growth of spirituality in the world. How little we know of how well off we are! How we mag­ nify the trivial things of life! How prone we are to forget the securities and liberties of American citizenship! How hard it is to realize that the elements of true happiness lie within ourselves and not within what we possess. But we are beginning to know, and the spirit of Christmas is an important element in our teaching. Right sentiments soon crystallize into actions. The phrase, “Merry Christmas,” upon all lips is an incentive to make it merry, hence the season becomes a time to forget strife and gloom and to spread peace and joy. Is the old-fashioned Christmas passing? If so, a better one ia taking its place. Modem arrangements may have done away but we still have t^ holly and the everut symbols. The tender emotions in our count for much more We can blend our voices and attune our souls to full jubilee on this festive occasion, which commemorates the most important announcement of all time, that of the religion of peace and love.

However the chief value to the young people partieipating, and the reason such a contest was put on by the big lighting power concerns of Canada and the United States, was the value gained in bringing before children and parents the need of proper lighting and the harmful results from inadequately lighted homes.

HAVE always found, even tn youth, quite as much interest In ** looking back as in looking for­ ward. Jt is good to plan for the fu­ ture, but there is quite as much to be gained from reviewing the past and JI much we have accotupllabad, in wbat ways we have developed. I was talking to Foreman about the year that is so nearly at an end. Ho was dissatisfied frith his progress and uncertain as to whether or not the time and money he had expended had been worth wbfle. He had learned little. It seemed; for all he could see, be wasn’t different than when he had left the little country town nine months ago. But I could see that he was a little more self-possessed, a little surer of himself, a little less crude in bls manners. He was learning to think, learning, to meet people, and developing a little .wider range of In­ terest than when he left home. As you come to the end of the year and look back, bow far have you come? It la nn easy question to ask, but possibly not su easy to answer. When we were little children at home, mother used to teach us after we had said our prayers at night to go over in our minds for a minute or two the events of the day and try to determine whether It had been a good day for us or a bad one. Often we dropped off to sleep before we bad gone far, but it was a gpod experi­ ence, this looking our accomplish­ ments in. the face and trying honestly to estimate them. It Is something like thia that I should like to put before yon as this year Is closing. What has the year meant to you? New friends? New powers? New Ideals? Have you done something worth while? Are you , better, stronger, more able to fight the battles of the world than you were a year ago? Are you wiser with a wis­ dom that Is clean, healthy and uplift­ ing? If so. the year Is ending happily for you.—Thomas A. Clark, Dean of Men, University of Illinois. Dear Friends. As we look back over the year 1924 we are moved to a deeper, more sincere appreciation of our friends. The business which you have entrusted to us during the past year has not only contributed to our financial success, but has through its contacts, established a genuine feeling of personal friendship between you and the members of our Organization. May we then, at thia Christmas Season, express our appreciation not only for your business, but for the personal friendship which we try to deserve. We hope the New Year will, bring you happiness and prosperity and that it may be our privilege to continue our very pleasant business association.

There has been much w-v—— .. the past few years over this question of Christmas trees. In view of the rapid depletion of our forests and the Increase in the waste land area. There are those who stoutly contend that It Is a foolish custom of pagan origin, not worthy of perpetuation In this enlightened Christian age, and that It is a senseless destruction of millions of young, thrifty trees that are ao much needed to supply the tim­ ber requirements of the country. But strangely enough, the foresters us a class, those who are most inter­ ested In conserving tree growth, do not share this concern about the Christmas tree. They are Interested In growing trees and having them used for their highest good. If a ten-yearold tree, of which 2.000 or more enn be grown upon a single acre, can give so much Joy, what better use can be made of the trees? , The custom Is so well established that it will never be wholly discarded, and why should It be? Is'lt not the Christmas tree that gives the selling for the celebration? What Is more de­ lightful to children than the Christ­ mas tree with Its candles or electric lights, silver trimmings, tinsel and the other things that go with It? Take away the Christmas tree and you have removed the chief charm. It Is the something that Is eloquent of senti­ ment and that has a much higher value than the cost of the tree. It Is not to be measured by economic con­ siderations or commercial computa­ tions.—Frank Herbert Sweet. ffln - Approaching Yuletide WAS feeding the pigeons at tha end of one of the park benches when two old men sat down. One, ruddy-cheeked and Jolly looking, made me think of a winesap apple; the other, thin, dyspeptic, and with a frown between bls eyes. "Well, sir, almost Christmas I" be­ gan the ruddy one cheerfully. "Funny how a body can begin to feel it in tbe air this time of year." "Don’t believe in Christmas r snapped the other crossly. “What about gifts?" asked his friend. “How do you get around them?" “Don’t believe In this swapping of presents, either." “And Christmas trees and children— can’t very well wipe them off the face of the earth." “Don’t believe In any of this hulla­ baloo about Christmas—what's It all amount toT* “Well, John," said his friend, "you are losing a lot, I can tell you that, and I’m glad you are not my grand­ father. If you don’t look out you’ll get old; yes, air—old I" Why, you haven't left yourself anything but tbe Monroe Doctrine! Back of this ‘swap­ ping gifts,' as you call It, human hearts are getting closer to each other than they do at any other time. And back of it all are the Three Wise Men, and the Star In the East. No, sir,, you are missing out on the whole business— you murk my words.

Their noise distracted him, so he sought out a dreary refuge far from the world. Here, it Is said, he had the leisure to ponder and reflect upon pious things.

May day became consecrated to Robin Hood and Maid Marian, for it was no a Muy day that the famous outlaw of tbe greenwood met his death. The Morris dance was another popu­ lar revel held on May day, the dancers all being dressed In fancy costumes, decorated with Jingling bells. Among them was a fellow known as the lazy man, who was the only one who never uttered a word during the frolics. Per­ haps he was supposed to be too lazy even to speak. Another dancer, garbed as a Jester, went among the specta­ tors with a bladder or an eel skin find a soup ladle, the latter for taking up the collection. The dancers never for­ got this part of the ceremony. Gradually May day lost Its jdiglnctive features as a.time of great Jo'lo­ cation. but for long tbe chimney­ sweeps celebrated the day by a little ceremony of their own. They would gt around in companies, with one man In each party arrayed in a framework of leaves and flowers. This quaint masquerader was known as Jack-Inthe-Green.

The town’s chief of police finding he was making no progress In his investi­ gations, enlisted the aid of consulting a chemist interested In curious prob­ lems of crime susceptible to scientific detection. s Scrutiny of a hundred or more of the letters convinced the scientist the unknown writer was a middle-aged woman, says Capper’s Weekly. All kinds of writing paper were used, but always a sharp-pointed steel pen and tbe same kind of Ink. Dust in the Ink indicated an open Ink-well was used by the writer. At this point tbe chemist made up a lot of pelets, using a different chemical for each, but every chemical capable of identification if mixed with Ink.; Then, In the guise of an Inspector ot electric wiring, the chemist gained access to the houses of all suspects.

Shall then children be told the truth about Santa Claus, or shall they think of him rr sliding down the chimney with reindeer and sleigh? This Idea mny help some mother who Is puzzled over ttiin question: Before our little tolks were old enough to understand about the exist ence of Santa Claus, whenever we saw a picture of the Jolly old man we called him Sunny, or Smiling Banta. because he looked happy. And he looked happy bemuse he was good and kind to everyone. So when the children quarreled or pouted we would try to have them smile and look jolly, like Santa, whose picture we had among others we referred to. as moral or myth pictures. As the children grew to understand more fully the meaning of the Christ mart Ide we played a game. “Santn sack.” which meant that if they al­ lowed each other or their playmates to play with their toys or gave them of their apples or cookies, they were ploying Santa Claus, because Santa Claus was unselfish and divided what­ ever he had from his sack. Sometimes when tbeir playmates came, we would any, "You’ll want to play ’Santa Sack.' and away they would skip to distribute their toys like Ranta. They delighted to play and be called Santa when they ran er­ rands. smiled or did something kind. Santa was a make-believe creature, ns characters In poems which we read to them, such as "The Raggedy Man.” “Children’s Hour,” “Jack Sprat." "Hiawatha." Anyone who gave a gift at any time of year was a Santa. And whenever Santa Clans distributed gifts at school or at nny public place, they were delighted that someone was playing Santa as they played "bear," "doctor" or “teacher** in the home with their little friends. For anyone who is unselfish, kind and cheerful la to them a Ranta Claus to someone else. As they grew older the Santa aack was woven into a lesson story with the thought that each of us has some­ thing In smiles, kind words and deeds to give to another all the time. For the real Santo gave much—all he hr*!—from his sack of treasures In Bethlehem long ago! So Santa Claus means unselfishness, cheerfulness, kindness—many things that are worth while to our children. — Gertrude Walton. RAILROADS CUTTING OPERTING COSTS BANNER WANT ADVS. PAY—TRY THEM! Legislative Restrictions Have Brought About That One Good Result at Least Ford Batteries Can Be Used in 46 Different Makes of Cars Railroads have suffered much from governmental interference in recent years. When reformers couldn't think of anything else to do, thqv always se­ lect cd the railroads as a subject for at­ tack and as a sure way to-win the ap­ proval of a public that bus always seemed very ready to take a rap at the railroads, whenever the opportunity offered. This is just the natural.reaction that followed the days when railroads dipped into politics and sought by ' devious methods to rontyol legislation in their j»wn interest. The reaction carried the 'country too far the other way, so that railroads have actually suffered severe financial hardships because of drastic legislation against .them. But even this has had its bright side. It has com­ pelled the railroads to steadily cut costs as they never had done before. They are economizing, and the public is get­ ting the benefit of it. For instance, in the full of 1920, thexoperating exjtenses of tho railroads were running about seventeen millions of dollars per day. while in 1924 they are running a little less than thirteen millions per day—n reduction of more than four millions of dollars per day. Thia has been done without reduction of wages, simply by the steady application of more economical methods to the railrood business.

SOLID SOUTH OUGHT TO CEASE BEING SOLID Time Is Now Here When North and South Should Vote Beal Conviction* An indication of a possibility that the south may aomc’ day break away from it* slavish attachment to one party- is shown by a recent statement of Mrs. Kate Barrett. Mrs. Barrett is a leadet of the Virginian aristocracy. Hhe is equally prominent in democratic polities in that state. Hhe was a dele­ gate from Virginia to the last national convention, and made a speech second­ ing the nomination of Henator Carter Glass, of Virginia for the presidency. She is a very .intelligent, cultured woman. The other day Mrs. Barrett delivered an address before a Washing­ ton audience, in the course of which she sakl: “I am a democrat, and I voted for- Davis; but I thank God President Coolidge was re-elected.-” If that was Mrs. Barrett’s sentiment after the eloetion, she must have hoped for President Coolidge’s success on Nov. 4. Hhe would not vote for him because the south is wedded to its political idols. There is nf course an explanation of southern preference for the democratic party which is due to republican folly in the reconstruction days; but undoubtedly that should be considered as atoned for now, and the south ought to feel that it is in a posi­ tion to vote its real preferences. It will be a happy day for this country when there shall be no sectional feel­ ing expressed in-politics or nny where else. Pretty Legend of Diamond Diamonds are the favored stones for betrothal ring*, say* tradition, because the man who discovered tire art of cut­ ting and polishing the diamond made a fortune nnd wa« thus enabled to wed the maiden of his choice. The man was Louis de Berquem, a native of Flanders, who wa* clerk to a jeweler of Bruges In 1470, and who. so th* Story goes, had revealed to him In a dream how the stone* might be beau­ tified by cutting.

HASTINGS NATIONAL BANK Phone 2217 Hasting*, Mich. The Only National Bank in Barry County. POSITIVE PROOF HASTINGS IS GROWING Or the Harrowing Experience of a Life-Long Resident of This City mind: her business suddenly had’.become his business. His inquisitiveness finally got the better of bis politeness and he asked her bolt-outright, what who, wns doing way over in. the First ward nnd on so ghostly a night ns thia. /‘Why!" snys she, "I am looking for No. 22 North Jefferson street—where they have Christmas trees for sale. 1 want'a little tiny one for my table— tho others are too large. I-saw tho ad in4he BANNER nnd started out to find the place." “Well," says I, "(Jon’t you know you nre in the First ward and on. North Michigan Avenue?" "Oh-o-o-o! I guess I am lost. Conld you tell me where I wnnt to go?" Af­ ter the writer talked with her for n few minutes and she had calmed herself and seemed to have the points of tho com­ pass fixed in her miud again, he direct­ ed her to take her back-track so fkr, then cut cross-lots to the old Reed opera house where she would strike Jefferson street. She thanked him kindly for set­ ting her aright nnd said, "It was n good thing she happened to meet a friend or she might have gotten dangerousty lost ip the intricacies of the First ward and wandered around all night, and did then nnd there make a vow that she. never would go so far from home on so darky a night without a competent chaperone or guide." The writer watched her dim ountline fade nlong the direction pointed out to her and shuddered nt the thoughts of the bridge, and the icy waters beneath, and felt n profound pity for all women when they would leave a cheerful fire­ side on a dark night in December nad go forth into a strange locality for a measly, scrubby little evergreen tree; but such are the irrcsistable ways of the sex that it remains the recognized duty of man not to dispute their heart’s desire, but to co-operate in every way possible. Whether this lady reached her desti­ nation and accomplished her mission that self-same evening, or was able to return to her own fireside before her friends became anxious about her ab­ sence I have never been able to learn, but for those who ase interested in the whereabouts of a certain young wonwuf, op a certain dark night in December, it would be well to call up the wife’of the Junior Editor of tho BANNER for further information. XXX The^writer well remembers when Has­ ting* was traversed by cow-paths, crooked roads and short-cuts across lots nnd rare was the hare foot boy ar girl who could not .go lo the remotest neigh­ bors, on the darkest night, by the most . direct nnd accurate pnth, suffering no more deviation than a stnbbod toe, and • never get lost, ken, and even- to such distant and wild spots ns the cemetery, county farm, West Creek and Sweezoy’s ’ woods, kids would thoughtlessly ramble and room, knowing exactly where every flower pqteh or spot of interest was lo­ cated, and just how to reach them— endowed with horse sense some people would say. On these excursions or ex­ peditions of adventure they never lost their way, missed their supper or stayed out all night, because they could not reach their goal or final their wny back borne. The thought never entered their heads that they might get lost, nor did they, any where around Old Hastings. Then surely there must be something canny wrong with Hastings, or she must have grown out of all proportions to the youngster of half a century of summers past when one of those self-same kids, now fully matured, retaining all her natural qualities of mind and body, able to detect right from wrong at a glance, highly developed-intellectually, and a strong advocate of woman suf­ frage, get lost two blocks from her daiy haunts, nnd has to be rescued by a ehanec meeting of a friend. Per­ haps the kid is more alert and on-to-itsjob than we‘ grown-ups ? Do we feel ourselves slipping as we pass each mile. stone of the road? Why then should not a fully developed human be able to perform the simple jitunts of the kids? The writer while wending hts way homeward one dark evening recently was overtaken by a lady who appeared to be in a hurry nnd decidedly nervous, whom he knew lived way over in the Fourth ward, end who was decidedly out of her ordinary zone of travel.

Here is the great secret of a "Used Car”—who has been the driver? A good, careful driver .who understands an automobile can drive a car 50,000 miles in two or three years and do it no harm, while another driver can drive 1,000 miles in 3 months and "knock off” half the value of the car. Therefore It is the Kind of a Driver a Car Has Had, the Kind of Use a Car Has Received that Determines Its Value We are here offering a few Good "Used Cars” and are pleased to recommend them to you. We are telling you. in each instance who the driver was and you will realize at once that these ARE GOOD CARB because the drivers have all taken good care of them. Then, too, our Mechanical Department has gone all over each car and put it in excellent running condition. . ’ , FORD TUDOR SEDAN—1923 MODEl^Owned and driven by Walter Snyder.

Perhaps there never was a merrier Christmas morning than the three wise children enjoyed that day. It wasn't merely because the stockings had grown big and bumpy through the night.

The doctor said that an operation for cataracts could be successful. I am waiting for the morrow almost, breath­ lessly, for they are to remove the ban­ dages from his eyes to test his sight And oh. Mrs. Wiggins, let us pray that all will be well!" God was good to the blind boy and the operation was very successful.

Christmas in British Isles Christmas was Introduced in what are now the British Isles under the Saxon rulers and was continued, In the winter solstice when the people had little to do, by the Anglo-Saxon kings and the succeeding monarchs of Norman blood. The celebrations be­ ginning with court festivities and graduating down to the poorest fami­ lies were frequently uproarious. In the reign of Elizabeth the Puritans at­ tacked the Yuletide festivities, but the celebrations continued to flourish ^nntll the rule of Queen Mary. The Puritans, aided by the conditions growing out of civil war, finally suc­ ceeded by 1547 in abolishing the holt day.—George-Newey Moran.

The excellent yield and satisfactory prices of the 19S4 wheat crop have re­ vived interest in wheat growing in this state. The result has been a gain in acreage seeded to wheat in Michigan which was five per eent over last year.

WATERS & SON The Better Store for Men ■ T", ' ' ' Monday afternoon a tip came to the sheriff that some bootleggers were op­ erating in town. He had been watch­ ing for this gang for some time, for he suspected outsiders were bringing bdox* into Hastings. Boon the sheriff and Undersheriff Quick were on the job, and arrested Anthony Blok and Ora Withey, of Kalamaxoo. There was a third member of the party, named Fuller, but there did not seem to be any evidence to connect Fuller with the bootlegging so he was dismissed from custody. The boose was brought to Hastings in a big red car which stood in front of the Co operative Elevator when the sheriff raided it, and found within it eleven quarts of moonshine. The car belong* to a man named Walker, who lives in Kalamazoo. Blok was caught with the goods all right enough, and, realizing that he was up against it, made the bort of the sit­ uation by coming across with a written and signed confession which is in the sheriff’* hand* and whjeh will be used in connection with 'the disposition of the case. Blok exonerated Withey from nny connection with the matter, but the officers aro not so sure that he should be exonerated, and are still holding him as thia is written. In his confession Blok admit* that he h:vl been here before, and the sheriff is sure that he had been here several times before, nnd that he hnd a regular line of customers. In fact, in hi* confes­ sion, Mr. Blok lists several Of hi* Has­ tings customers who, no doubt, will not relish the rending pt Blok’s written con■ fession in which their name* are given. Of eourac,. the naming of these people is not conclusive evidence, because it would be ,a case of one man’s word against another; but at the least it would indicBt* that Blok had an inter­ esting list of customers in Hastings, who might possibly have some other use for the booze than putting it in the radiators of their automobiles. It would seem a* if with all that has been said about the danger of drinking moonshine, and all that the medical profession ha* shown about it* terrible effects upon a human system, that no one in his right mind would over want to buy the stuff, saying nothing about drinking it.

Ellis?" whispered Dorothy, clinging to bis arm. Ellis Milford was a hard-working clerk in o-ae of the big Insurance of­ fices, and their home had been only a four-room flat in the dusty city. But every Sunday they had gone forth from the metropolis dreaming of just liuch a place as this. The house had been untenanted for many years, avid It was rumored that the owner reaided la England. No, there had never been any effort to rent It. It would be hard to do »o, anyway, because nobody wanted an old-faabloned house when you could get a brand new one on tbe installment plan. At which Information Dorothy’s heart beat high with secret joy. B "You see, EHIs. it la my English blood," she explained. “You know grandfather was an Englishman, and though I never saw him, f k*.iow I have Inherited hie taste for Just auch an old-fashioned him?.’' Dorothy’s grandfather had nettled In America and calmly disinherited his son, Dorothy’s father. Still, Dorothy always attributed all the English traits in her disposition to this aeml-mytblcnl person. "Dorothy," exclaimed her husband, "let’s go Inside and have a look around. I saw one of«the window shutters was nearly off Its hinge, and I believe the window behtad It Is broken." It was broken. Ellis climbed through and. standing Inside, swung Dorothy Into the room. They wandered from room to room. It was true the Interior was In poor condition. But still the house was habitable, and a little money invested Judiciously would turn it Into a very comfortable abode. And, the greatest find of all, In the attic there wns old furniture, nil sorts of odds and ends which would go fur toward the furnishing of the less showy rooms, nt least. “Ellis," said Dorothy, In a tone? which even three months of married life had taught him to attend to, “we must have this house." "You ain't going to live there, are ye?" Inquired a villager who watched them emerge through the front gate with Ill-concauled interest. "Yes, we have rented thia place from the first of next month," Dorothy an­ swered. "Well, I swan!" exclaimed the yokel. "Dorothy," said Ellis reproachfully, when they were out of his hearing. “But, Ellis, • I meant It." declared Dorothy, almost crying. "My dear, we are going to have the rooms papered and the windows mended and move In on the first. And when the landlord calls to make trouble for us we'll have the rent ready for him." Dorothy's words proved prophetic, for on the first day of the month fol­ lowing a motorvan stopped In front of the old house and Dorothy superintend­ ed the disgorging of the furniture. "They’ll turn us out," said Ellis, when they were settled at their fire­ side, gazing admiringly upon the new­ ly-papered walls. “Not If we have the rent, my dear," said Dorothy. Summer came on and soon the gar den was ablnze with flowers. Ellis could hardly wait for the clock to strlkf to leave his office. And as the mouths rolled by and the neighbors took their occupancy of the house as a matter of course, their fears gradually dwindled until— Until that Sunday morning when the strange mao came walking up the mid die drive. The newcomer was an Englishman but he appeared much less angry than Dorothy and her husband had antici­ pated. In fact, bls first words wert decidedly apologetic. "I'm sorry to trouble you," he said , "and I don’t know, of course, what your title will show; but the fact Is there Is reason to believe that thb property Is part of an estate which 1 have come over from London to han die on behalf of the heirs. It seems to have been forgotten, as the owner did not enumerate It in his wilL You have your title-deeds?" rfo, Ellis had no title-deeds. In fact, he was so equally embarrassed that he blurted out the history of the acquisi­ tion. "Most extraordinary! Most extraor dlnary!" said the visitor.

Every price line holds the maximum of value that we can cram into it. Every suit bears the famous ‘’Wearpledge” label. You ^jll be surprised at the savings you can make in outfitting the boys. Just think of getting a suit that is of all wool material, fully lined throughout and expertly made, for only $7.98. And the boys like these suits because they’re made from the boys’ standpoint, with the snappy styles they demand. During this money saving event bring your boy in and look over the suits. Your time will be well spent. Remember—only three price groups in this big stock. Mother and Dad may know all about linings and if the materials are all wool, but, they don’t know what you boys consider a snappylooking suit. A suit that the rest of the boys will sit up and take notice of the first time you wear it—that’s the kind, isn’t it? Now, we’ve been selling “Wearpledge” suits for 12 years (remember the name, boys). You can tell your folks they’re A-1 as to mate­ rial and workmanship, ’cause when people come back for another suit, they call for “Wearpledge” which is the proof of the pudding. The “Wearpledge" people know what’s what when it comes to style. They’re right down there in Ne wYork City where they see right off what’s going to be good style ' for the boys. So when you get a “Wearpledge” suit you can be sure it’s right up to the minute. This week we are putting our winter suits and over­ coats on sale at very low prices to make way for the spring suits. ' If you need a suit or over­ coat here’s your chance. Just show Mother and Dad how economical you can be. Don’t ferfget to tell them that with every suit or over­ coat you buy you get a six months' subscription to the “American Boy”—FREE. Three price ranges to pick from in our large stock of boys’ suits. ’7.98 : ’9.98 : ’12 Young Men’s Long Pants Suits t ’16.75 : ’19 : ’22.50 “Wearpledge” helps the boys step into their first long pants suit. They are built for red blooded young fellows in the styles they demand. The boys will like their snap and good looks. Mother will like their wearing qualities. OVERCOATS That Out Bluster the Coldest Winter Day! They’re big and husky, made for days when the thermometer hovers around zero. Of course they’re all wool and they’re excellent­ ly lined which makes a world of difference in their warmth. They’re made in the long ulster style and in the mackinaw style. They come in a great variety of materials, but every one of them is all wool. $5 *9.98 COLLEGIATE Young Mens’ Overcoats They’re “Doggy” looking, boys, just the kind of overcoats you see walking around the campus at Ann Arbor and Lansing.

ISS AMANDA listened stonily to her niece Mary a confession ol her angagomeut to the man she bad met on bar vacation at Bellmulr. Sym­ pathetically, too, for the two old maid­ en ladles. Miss Amanda and Mias Dorothy, were devoted to pretty Mary the child of their only brother, whom they had adopted when bo lay dying. But when Mary mentioned ths name of Ralph Lester an ominous look came over Miss Amanda’s face. "And he says his father knew you when you were a girt. Aunt Amanda,” pursued Mary, with all the innocent confidence of twenty years. Ralph Lester, la the city, received a despairing little note from his fian­ cee the following day which he could neither understand nor fathom. The two old ladles realized Mary** Forrow and did their best to cheer her. From timid Miss Dorothy the girl learned the cause of Miss Amanda’s hostility. Miss Amanda had once been engaged to Ralph’s father, Robert, who had been dead some years. And then, one afternoon, a fair, curiy-halred young fellow rang the bell at the old house door and Min Amanda, coming to open It, found herself looking Into the face at her youthful swee'.heart, Robert. "You are Mr. Lester,” the old wom­ an asked, pressing one hand against her throbbing heart. "Yes, and you must be Miss Aman­ da." answered the young man. "Mj father often used to speak of you." **My niece is In the garden. You are at liberty to go to see her. You are at liberty to take her away, to marry her. But let me tell you that from the moment she becomes your wife, she shall never cross our thres­ hold again or—" ^sbe hesitated. "I do not want to wrong you In my thoughts, Mr. Lester, but she shall never inherit a penny of my money." The young man rose. "May I ask why. Miss Amanda?" he Inquired. The memories of old days flushed the Old • maid’s withered cheek. "Be­ cause,” she answered slowly, "your fa­ ther was engaged to me. He left me a few weeks before the wedding day.* She started. Mary stood at the door. She had overheard alL She stood look log at Ralph, and be saw on her face that her love bad never died. He started toward her. "Mary, are you going to let the shad­ ow of the past generation prevent our happiness?" he asked. 4 The girl went softly to her aunt and placed her bands upon "her shoulders. "Aunt, are you going to>ruln our live* because your own was. ruined?” she asked. The old woman's face was like a mask. "As his father did to me, so shall I do to him," aha answered “You can marry him—but my anger will never be assuaged." Mary turned away. "You see, Ralph. It Is Impossible," she answered quietly. "Is there nothing can Induce you to relent, Miss Amanda?"^ Inquired Ralph lister quietly. The oli woman saw how bravely he bore the shock, and the thought of his suffering added fuel to her ancient hatred. "Yes," she answered. "If Robert Lester sends me a message from the dead, explaining his actions, hls cruel behavior .to me, then I can forgive." / Through the- door came little Doro­ thy, leaning upon a stick. She was holding a package In her hands. She crossed the floor to where her sister stood and kneeled down at her side. "Amanda—” she began. “It la useless to plead for him, Dor­ othy," answered the old woman. "You know—who should know so well as you. when Robert Lester came to woo you before he courted me?" "And you took him from me. Was that no wrong, AmandaT’ pleaded her sister. Mies Amanda frowned Impatiently. "That Is between you and me, Doro­ thy," she answered. "If I have wronged you In that, you have never borne me hate for It. You do not know the meaning of a ruined Ufe; Dor a hot pillow wet with tears for a frustrated love." Miss Dorothy rose to-her feet, and her face was ashen pale. She held out the package toward her sister. Slow­ ly. with trembling fingers, she un­ fastened the ribbon which bound it. and the scent of faded perfume dif­ fused Itself through the room. "These letters explain all." she said. Miss Amanda uttered a gasp of fear. There were half a dozen un­ opened letters, In faded Ink, and the handwriting of them, addressed to her, was that of Robert Lester. "This Is why," said Miss Dorothy. “I was jealous of you, Amanda- I hated yon with a hatred which was to yours as wine is to water. When Robert's letters came for you I hid them away. And your own letters, which you gave ms to mail, I de­ stroyed unopened. Now acquit Robert and turn your anger upon me, Aman­ da.” The mask had fallen from Miss Amends's face.

The other day a man stated In a police court that bis dog had not been off the chain for twelve months; from Its puppyhood. It had been fastened up without an hour of liberty. “As a lover of dogs I hold that ev­ ery dog Is entitled to regular exercise, and that It Is unjustifiable cruelty to Imprison a dog for life. Such treat­ ment makes a dog hopeless and mis­ erable; he becomes dejected and oft­ en savage, and hls health suffers se­ riously. "A young dog can be trained to be a guard without chaining, and the beet watchdogs are those which ore not chained. Chains are a heritage of by­ gone dnys and should be abolished." The best way to keep a dog that needs restraint is to put him in a yard with a high fence. If this Is not prac­ ticable, fasten a wire across any yard; on this put an Iron ring which, when attached by a cord to the dog’s collar, will allow him to run backward and forward the full length of the wire. The yard should have shade as well as sunshine, to protect the dog from too great heat of the sun. Make your dog your companion and friend. Treat him kindly and be will respond. It Is cruel to tie s' dog under a waff— ' H. to follow AM on or allow t. him an automo- , bile or bicycle. Let him ride with yon. Twain'* Description of Missouri River Water In one of his return trips to the state of his boyhood, Mark Twain wrote a friend he had found one thing that had not changed—the mulatto complexion of Missouri river water— and probably a score of centuries would not change it "It comes out of the turbulent bank-caving river,” he explained, “and every thimbleful of it holds an acre of land In solution. I got this fact from the bishop of the diocese. If you will let your glass stand half an hour you can separate the land from the water as easy as Geneels, and then you will find them both good—the one to eat the other to drink. The land Is very nourishing, the water is thoroughly wholesome. The one appeases hunger, the other, thirst. But the natives do not take them separately, but together, as na­ ture mixed them. When they find an inch of mud in the bottom of the glass, they stir It up and take a draft as they would gruel.

Neither Detroit nor any other section of the state should be in a position to con trol, without consultation and deliber­ ation, ths choice of all of Michigan for Governor or United States Senator. No republican should vote in a dem­ ocratic primary or for democratic candi­ dates. That’s not his business. We think it is equally true that democrats should not vote in a republican primary. That’s not their business. Neither should a minority party be ■fhacouraged to divide its political oppoArarat* and so thwart party judgment. Wo are not prepared to say that the evils of the primary system as we have it in Michigan are any worse than the evils of tho old caucus and convention system with their group control: but we are prepared to say that the primary as we now have it goes altogether too far the other way. It does dis­ organize parties and that it certainly does not bring about a* satisfactory nomination* as would a convention in which some deliberation aa to the fit­ ness of candidates could be had^uch a* a proprimarv convention, whose act­ ion could be checkmated if desired by the voter* of a partf If they thought it not been controlled by good lafluence*.

In Something of a Hurry Every trade has Its stock of wellknown yarns, but occasionally a new one does occur, only, alas, in time to become a classic. A certain weUknow newspaper man was holding forth to a group of writers, among whom was a rather famous novelist The journalist was saying that he bad recently been engaged In revising the obituaries held In readiness by his paper. Turning to the novelist, he add­ ed jocosely: "I’ve just been writing you up." But the novalist, apparently, bad not been following very closely, and waking up with a start, be asked eagerly: “When Is it going to be publinked?" Explorer’, Ruling Ration When Columbus landed for the first time in the New world he found the Indians, who greeted him “a very poor people." His friend. Las Casas, who wrote the abstract of the Journal of the First Voyage to America.. gives the admiral's own account of his in­ terview with the natives as follows: "I was very attentive to them and strove to learn If they had any gold. Seeing some of them with little bits of this metal hanging at their noses, I gathered from them by signs that by going southward or steering around the island in that direction there would be found a king who possessed large vessels of gold and in great quantities." The first thought, even of the man who had just discovered a new world, was of gold I—Youth's Companion.

Great quantities of Engelmann spruce are cut for lumber. The wood Is soft and straight-grained and Is used for various construction purposes, as telegraph and telephone poles, ns mine timbers, for the con­ struction of log buildings, and to some extent as lumber for Interior finish. In contrast with the only other spruce In Rocky Mountain National paA, Engelmann spruce is of considerable Importance commercially. -Don’t sit behind the steering wheel waiting for business to turn up," says the Griffin (Ga.)

Writing With a “Hill” How muny people would associate the word “pencil” with a peak or a headland? The Srord is derived from the na­ ture of the districts where slate la quarried, for the earliest pencils on record were made from slate. The word “pen” denotes a headland on the coast, or a peak in the country, and It Is from these old rock formations that the material is quarried. In this way we find such names as Penrith. Penmaenmawr, the Pennlnea, and Penzance, all of which have at one time or another been actively asso­ ciated with the slate industry. In the manufacture of the modern "lead” pencils, the plumbago from which the writing portion Is made is also quarried in these regions.—Lon­ don Mall.

The people of thin country have learned to expect Calvin Coolidge to be true to the guiding principles of his life. One of those/principles is simplic­ ity.

These items’’, explained Mr. Julius Klein, Director of the Bureau,” mny appear to the casual reader to be of minor in­ terest, ns an internal regulation, but to the whent growers and flour millers of this country they are very important. Ono incident will illustrate just what such information mean* France dur­ ing the pa»t year has been carrying on a wheat conservation campaign and has required miller* to turn so large a per­ centage of the wheat ground into flour thnt the flour has been of a darker color than before. Imported flours haw been required to conform to the same standantq of milling, but under the improved American milling procew*e.-, it is possible sometimeh to turn this greater percentage of wheat into flour without sacrificing the color to us great an extent ns th" French miller* do. An American firm which had followed Che French regulations in regard to flour, an published by the Bureau, never­ theless enme to grief for another reason. It made a shipment of flour to France which conformed in every way to the French requirements. but on account of the light color of the flour, the firm was confronted with the charge of mak­ ing a false , declaration to the customs with intent to secure a lower rate of duty. ‘ Through the assistance of the Bureau’s representative in France, how­ ever, the matter was finally sifted down, and the French authorities were convinced that the flour conformed to their regulations and that the customs declaration was correct.” •‘Keeping the trade informed in re­ gard to foreign requirements nnd stnndnrds and helping the exporters out of difficulties are only two of the ways in which the Bureau of’ Foreign and Domestic Commerce help* the wheat growers and flour millers”, continued Dr. Klein. "Through studies and surveys made by the Bureau the pro­ ducers mny keep posted on economic conditions in foreign uinkets and from the published trade opportunities they may learn of Openings for new busi­ ness.” “Wheat and flour”, snid Dr. Klein, “are very important commodities in the foreign trade of the United State*. The crop for*19S3 nmountod to 785, 741,000 bushels. About twenty-five percent of the wheat crop of the United States goes into foreign trade cither in the form of whent or of flour. For the ten months of 11'24 ending October 31st, 120,604,000 bushels of wheat and 12, 912,000 barrels of flour were exported. In dollars this means $104,783,000 worth of wheat nntl $70,349,000 worth of flour, or a total for the two of $235,132,000. Isn’t this amount of business in ten months very well worth while making, nn effort to Jtetyl" ’ IRVING. There will, be n pot lock supper and watch night meeting nt the hall next Wednesday night.

Advertiser One 0 clock—and the Turkey Browning! “If it’s done with Heat —you can do it Better with GAS” O, the teasing, tantalizing savor that comes from the kitchen just before the New Year's feast is brought to the table. Gravy bubbling in the pan! Sweet potatoes browning in amber syrup! The big mince pie all sweet and spicy, steaming in the oven. And over at the gas works, the men know just as well what’s going on in every home kitchen as though they themselves caught some of the appetizing fra­ grance. They’ve been working night and day to fill the holders to meet the gas demands of ail great home cooking days. Many gas companies find that their "peak loads" or greatest demands of the whole year come on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Pay and New Year’s Day between 11 a. m. and 2 p. m. Gas Service is indispensable to our national observances of these feast days and we’re proud that it is! Consumers Power Co.

Gallery, son of the present editor, will enter partnership in its publication. The Advertiser is one of the best known country weekly newsCper* in the state of Michigan, and s always £een a power in that section of the state for the reason that i> has stood for things that were sane, sensible and RIGHT, regardless of its effect on “circulation^” or the eash box. There are too few of that kind of papers and the good of tho country ecrtaialy leads to the hope that the number will pot grow less. * Mr. A. D.-Gallery, who for more than 20 years has so ably edited the Adver­ tiser, has reached that time of life when''he is not as young as he used to be,” and .Joels less able to carry the burdens that getting out such a paper as tho Advertiser imposes. He will, i however, continue to be responisble for its editorial utterances, while the eon will assume the other burdens. Mr. Gallery, Senior, has well earned tho added relaxation that the change will offer and has the best wishes of the newspaper fraternity in his partial retirement from active effort, with the added hope that he may continue to en­ joy good health, continued prosperity, and long life. The son, who will succeed him, comes into the business with a good mental equipment, well trained in an educa­ tional way, and we hope that upder his guidance the Advertiser will reach the still greater heights, for which we know ho will strive.

THE NEW YEAR Resolve to capitalize your ability and sonality by means of a practical business training in a Cftus-A College at Grand Rap­ ids. During 1925 wo will have many more calls for skilled office help than we can sup­ ply. NOW is the time to start your training. Work for your board if you wish. Catalog free. New Term opens Dec. 29th and Jan. Sth. Again “Old Father Time" swings his scythe and cuts off an­ other cycle. Thursday morning, 1925—THE NEW YEAR—en­ ters. What does it bring to you? Have you realized the dreams and ambitions that you had one year ago? Some may have ac­ complished all they set out to obtain, and maybe more. Many, perhaps, have not, but all have striven, and it is better to have “tried and failed than never to have tried." - We all learn, year by year, as time flies, that the great work­ ing motto in every branch of “Business” and “Industry” necessary to success is “SERVICE,” first last and all the time. And in every instance where “Business,” “Industry,” or “Endeavor” use this principle of “Servict” as a motto some measure of “Suc­ cess” is sure to follow. Every enterprise which looks to the welfare and happiness of the hutnan race, and which puts forth its best efforts to make its ambition come true, is entitled to a fair compensation, and is worthy of a large measure of “Success.” We know there has been some very satisfactory progress made during the past year in the Dairying Business in Barry coun­ ty. Greater interest has been shown and many farmers have been steadily adding to and building up their dairy herds. We believe fewer "scrub” cows can be found in Barry county now than at the beginning of 1 924. This is pleasing to us, and we are sure those dairymen who have been ad­ vancing during the year just closing, have no regrets, and can really say that they are pleased that they have started to clean out the "scrub” cows, and im­ prove their dairy herds. Great advancement has been made in this line all through the state and conditions look much brighter for the future. We hope there are others in Barry County who will start the New Year by planning an improved dairy herd. There are good, fair returns from good, pure­ bred cows under any conditions and every farmer who continues to keep and feed "scrub" cows is making a mistake. Every reasonable advantage and help is offered any farmer who wants to try and improve his herd. We will be pleased to render any assistance and give any advice we can to anyone who has a desire to better his dairying conditions. • . 1 Arctic Dairy Products Co HASTINGS, MICHIGAN GREETINGS We wish to extend our thanks to our mang patrons for their patronage during the past gear and extend best wishes for a Happg and Prosperous NewjYear. �that opens * services to ecosful on. »«».

The Hi-Y of Hastings lost one of their most faithful members when For­ rest Mead was taken. Seldom, if ever, did he mia* a meeting and his amiable disposition was always a factor for the right spirit in each meeting. His life and dailly actions were a lesson to us all. Andanii Knaw Can Corn Is found among the relics oi the most ancient tribes of Indians says Nature Magazine. It was calti vnted by all the agricultural natives of which there Is any record. McCann of Irving escaped work Saturday. He was scheduled to be at the local hank to collect taxes bat owing to tho condi­ tion of the roads was unable to get here. People came from all directions to pay their taxes but had to return home with their money. Mr. and Mrs. Win. Harrison and daughter Florence and Miss Beulah Christmas h< District 8upt., Dr. Kendrick of Grand Bapids, delivered a wonderful sermon on, “The Glorious Church” at M. E. church Sunder morning.

Mr. Dawson was the singer,and young people’s worker with the Phelps Evangelistic party and woo the love and roopect of all who met him here. It is not yet certain whether he will bo able to be here for next Sun­ day’s service or not but will be here very soon at any rate. While we are all very sorry to lose Rev.

Frank Clark of Has and bus service has been delayed and the local rural carrier was only able to make a part of his trip Saturday and only that by going ia neveral directions from the office. Some people however, seem to think the mailman ought to r around while they sit by the stove. little cooperation in the way ot el­ bow grease plus a snow shovel would help a lot. Borno fanners have been very faithful about opening even more than their share of the rood and are deserving of much praise. Don’t forget about the new office hour* at the poet office now 8 A.

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.
