Barry County Children Kept on the Waiting List Over Two Years A matter' which must sooner or later, and tho sooner the better, have the soriou* attention of the people of this state is that of what to do with the class of people who bring into the •titution or who arc so subnormal as to be Incapable of sclfsupport. The ques tion uf handling sueh children is a very serious matter at present. The Impecr institution in so badly overcrowded now that they eannot take ip any more children, and Probate Judge Eggleston states that there aro children that aha had ordered to be placed in that Insti­ tution over two years ngo who have not yet been able to be placed there because of laek of room. It i«, claimed that there aro some cases where children have been kept on the waiting list for this Lapeer institution for four yearn. There were recently married, not in this county lie it said to the credit of all concerned, n young couple, the wife being nne who in said to be subnormal, her mother having died in an insane asylum in thin state and the husband whom she married having a father now in the Kalamazoo State Hospital. Can anyone doubt what the progeny of such a’marringv ns that will bo! And both husband and wife were Barry county people. The writer asked Jndge Eggleston to mitimatp-tho’irumber.j>f children that had born brought to her notice, who reside in Barry county, who nre in the subbormal class. She stated that tho files in her court would show over one hundred of that kind. Romo of them will neveh reach a iucntality_above the eighth grade. Some of them will never be older than a child of six yearn in mentality. Rome of them have almoat no mentality,- and these last are tho . -1- __ ,i._ — it-.

A; Lambie, Cashier. and Labor Below we present a very timely dis­ cussion nf the problems of agriculture by County Agricultural Agent Frank Brnnctt, which we believe every read­ er will find interning, and especially to every farmer. Mr. iennett speaks of tho folly of doctoring symptoms, tho uselessness of trying remedies whieh common sense show* are Impossible, nnd the necessity of studying tho fundamental needs of agriculture and applying the some reme­ dy which has made America the great­ est manufacturing nation, .with the highest wages and best seals of living on earth. We have made it possible for American manufacturers to get fair Eriees nnd American worker* to got igh wages by our protective system. It is possible, ns Mr. Bennett shows, to insure fair prices for the 95 per cent of Amcrienn farm product* sold in the United Htatt-s, without forcing tho priee down to the low export level fixed by Th* Agricultural Problem. We note the oft repented publications appearing in tho daily pres* and else­ where, to tho effect that the problems of agriculture nro fast disappearing, and that prosperity stand* just around the corner ahead with open arms wait­ ing to welcome tho farmer. For the last four year* we have had our hope* stimulated by this sort of propaganda m> that wo nave struggled on nnd on ngninst a tide of inequality of priee* and Axed charges, until too many of our best farmers, who are capable of successful competition in other fields, are quitting the farm for other vocations with better nnd more stable remunera­ tion, thus depicting our ranks of many at the l>cst and most capable citizens. Will this process go on until history nn »us iMiuu- in nut niuniui a peasant farmer!

The citizens of Hasting* should be. very proud of the record made by th* local po«t office force during the holiitay season. The volume of business transacted through tho post office dur­ ing holiday time will run doable the normal until tho timo when you . ap­ proach the ten days preceding Christ­ mas, when it will bo earily four to eight times normal. This year the Christmas mail handled through the Hastings post office, both incoming end outgoing, was larger than over before, especially during the three days before Chririnina. And yet tho local force met thi* rush in such an efficient man­ ner that every piece of mail posted here during caeh day was dispatched that day and all pared*, received by mail were delivered every day. At eleven o’clock Christmas forenoon every panel roccivcd at tho Haaiings postoffico wa* delivered. Not a single pared remained undelivcre-l. . The BANNER has noted that in some towna, where postofflee reports 1 have been made, that several hundred package* uf Christmas mail were un­ delivered at the local post office* on Christmas day.

In sections where good roads pre­ dominate, many Star owners report 28 to 38 miles. If you are seeking a car sparing in the use of gas you will find that the unusual power of the Star motor is not developed by the extrav­ agant use of fuel. This record was made in Georgia and Alabama mud, in Texas and Idaho sand, in Maine and Vermont snow and in the high.altitudes of the Rocky Mountains. It was made by ordinary Star cars, driven by ordinary drivers. It represents Star performance under average conditions a* they exist today throughout the United States and Canada. The small gas consumption of the Star car is another reason why those who seek reliable transportation at a mini­ mum of expense should consider the Star first.

Matthew 3Xjy <The Judges Sag— You will hunt a long while for record of a conviction in any court of a boy who regularly attends Sunday school. Law­ yers and judges know that the church is a constructive influ­ ence for peace and order. They know, too, that all law is founded upon the “old fashioned" Ten Commandments of Moses, which, if kept, would permit the scrapping of much court machinery. ~ God expects us to obey his laws because of love for him. He is an impartial judge, whose memory is as long as time, but wno has promised that every one who comes unto him truly repentant will be forgiven. Let us join with the judges and lawyers in sup­ porting the church, which is fundamental to all law and order. Go to Some church Sunday.

The cheer and comfort brought to ths inmate* of tho County Hume and jail will never be revealed here. f We have tried to bo faithful to the pMt year by spending every dollar carefully, showing no respect of persons, serving everybody alike, and by fulfilling my mission aa a God-called man In the service of Hia Kingdom. With thn help of God we vrill endeavor to make 1925 a better year of service to Barry county than ovex before. May God's blessings bo upon this work and Hl* workers, and may HI* Spirit direct u* in all thing!FleaM note that all money raised for evangelistic services waa raised by free-vrill offering taken in the Mlsafou, and was not used from tho budget raised by people of Barry county. , Yours gratefully, EDWARD BOONE.

Nothing saner or better for tho fu­ ।ture welfare Qf tho Windstorm Com­ ]pany and the good of its policy hold­ <ers could bo devised than this Emer­ ।gency Fund. When this stato was ,visited by several severe cyclones in ttho year* 1920, tho Windstorm Company ,wax compelled to borrow several hun­ ,dred thousand dollars from banks, pay­ jing the then current high interest rate । for the borrowed money. As money ,wns senreo at that, time, hard to get, it ,wns not an easy job by any means to ,secure the funds which Were sorely tneeded to meet losses that must be paid ।promptly, in'ordcr that those who suf­ ( fered the losses of buildings might be ■able to rebuild. Buch an Emergency ]Fund would have saved paying inter­ <est, saved doubling the assessment ,rate for that year, and would hnvo jgiven far more prompt «cttlemcnt of |losses to those whose buildings were ,swept away by the storm*. These severe storms required a high assessment to bo made the following year and nearly all of that assessment money was taken to pay loans and in­ terest. It is proposed, by this Emer­ gency Fund, to put tho Windstorm Company on a basis m> that it eAn promptly meet un emergency like that of 1020, without borrowing. The small fund of 15 cents oq the 8100 Is, in other words, a safely fund to take caro of any extraordinary losses, such as those suffered in the yea» mentioned, or to nteot any emergency that might arise. The directors and stockholders, who were well reggesented at this meeting, arc to be congratulated on this busi­ ness-like provision for emergencies! which puts this company upon a verr1 solid, substantial bad*, »o that it will hav* no difficulty ia mesUng a severe storm period, inch a* visited thi* statq . la tha spring of IMO, *r any sudden emergency that reuufts* good $aah r*- I* our regular rale paid on Saving*.

This material is far bet­ ter than glass because it is very light in weight, weather proof and cold proof and is absolute­ ly unbreakable. ' CEL-O-GLASS lets in practically as much light as clear glass. It spreads the light etfflhly so that ' there are no dark shadows anywhere. It breaks up the direct sun rays and diffuses the light and for this reason variation in temperature is re­ duced to a minimum. CEL-O-GLASS is easy to put up. Simply cut it to size with an ordinary pair of shears and tack it in place -with a few staples or tacks. That’s all the work there is to it Try CEL-O-GLASS on youi; -chicken-houses, brooder-houses and scratch pens. You will find it very economical and highly satisfactory.

It la e«l- iffil Shirt-sleeve Management HERE are no soft jobs in this Company. The men of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), from directors to the last office boy, form a shirt-sleeve organization, out to do real work. T Everybody is a laborer, from the chief executive down. Executives manage details, for in the oil business details are of major importance. In the petroleum industry costs are computed in fractions. Round figures are rare. It is saving a fraction here and a fraction there that enables the Management to show a satisfactory state­ ment to the stockholders at the end of the year. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is thor­ oughly democratic. It typifies the modem method of doing business. As a trade paper recently remarked: this shirt-sleeve jlblicy “has caused this Company .to be pointed to all over the world as the most perfect business organ­ ization." The Company’s directors are executives devot­ ing their whole time (o its affairs. They have been educated largely withinjhis organization. Their rise has been a slow step-by-step process covering many years. Every director has a deeply ingrained knowledge of the business, acquired through painstaking, arduous ap­ prenticeship.

Building is a twenty-story, basement, sub-basement, and attic, steel frame structure, containing 612 guest rooms, each with private bath. It also contains eight stores, four of which, including the corner store, open off Cadillac Square, and four off Bates Street. Location: The Barium Hotel is located at the North­ east Corner of Cadillac Square and Bates Street, Detroit, Michigan, with a frontage of 128 feet on Cadil­ lac Square. Cadillac Square is one of Detroit’s three downtown streets which are 200 feet in width. It leads from the Wayne County Building on the east, to the Detroit City Hall on the west. Such administration makes for economy and efficiency—the two qualities which most effec­ tively guarantee satisfactory service to the consumers and satisfactory profits to the stock­ holders. Rental earnings: Figuring operating expenses, J axes, etc., upon a generous scale, there is an estimated NET annual income of $414,865.60, which scales more than four times the greatest annual interest charge, and is much more than ample for principal and Interest requirements. , . •­ It has been said that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is successful because it is big. Borrower: The borrower is the Cadillac Square Im­ provement Co. It is composed of men of great wealth, and high standing in the community. Mr. John J. Barium* the President, Is one of the leading business men of Detroit. He is President of the American It might be said with greater truth, that.this Company is big because it renders a great and essential service.

In her wonderful vision of more than one hundred yeMrs ago, Mother Shipton prophesied the ad­ vent of the "horseless caYriage." But even mid­ dle aged men living today, never dreamed that It wdmd'be developed to such a high slate of per­ fection as it has been today, in their lifetimes. All that was necessary was to get a few practical ideas along the right line, and Yankee ingenuity attended to the rest. • The first automobiles put out were crude af­ fairs. They would run—sometimes. But if the driver reached any distance away from home he was pretty certain that he would have to be "hauled in"—machine and all. Think what you will, there can always this be said of Old Dobbin —He never had to be ‘towed in.” In the automobile industry, and in most every line of mechanical effort, when it is deft- nitely known what must be done, inventive ge­ nius invariably steps forth and solves the prob­ lems. Thus it has been with the automobile, and as it stands out today in its present state of sim­ plicity and perfection, it is recognized as one of the world’s greatest means of happiness, qomfort kNtd plertdn** It i*» die rich marAr-hlXury, the poor man’s comfort; the laboring man’s rec­ reation; the business man’s economy. All of them ride in automobiles today. Through the wonderful development of the automobile America has really become a large city, open to visits from everyone. Places for­ merly regaraed as too remote, or too expensive, to visit are now readily and easily accessible to the man at the wheel, who has a few days, or a few weeks to spend. By reason of this fact our great country has become one large community, rather than a boundless expanse open only to those of wealth and leisure. No influence has come into our national life, opening up the sights and scenes of our country, that will even com­ pare with the automobile. £ HASTINGS BANNER FEBRUARY 4th, 1925 I 1 § �THE HASTINGS BANNER, WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 4. 1988 Mew Red Roadster is Seen as a Splendid Example of the Type of Motor Cars to Which it Belongs NASH “Nash Leadj,the World in Motor Car Value’ With it* new T-8 Eerie* E roadster, an attractively designed, smartly fin­ ished. and completely equipped model on' the standard six-cylinder chasm, • the R*n Motor Car Company ha* made nn addition to it* line of passenger car* that proved to benne of the sensations of the New York automobile *how, where ia was shown for the first time. The new Reo roadster eame n* a com­ plete surpriie to people attending tho New York show. Reo ha* ju»t Intro­ duced three new closed model*, the Twentieth Anniversary Sedan, the Gold Standard Sedan, nnd the Gold Standard Coupe, nnd it wa* not expected thnt any other new ear* would bo,shown by tho one manufacturer. NeverthelcM, it wn* evident that the roadster had been in the processes of design and construction for some time, for it wn* without question ono of the outstanding ear* of thi* typo at tho show. Both in body lines nnd in the completeness of it* equipment, it bear* the snarks of a custom-built roadster, yet it* price, 81*65, piay' be considered extremely moderate. The first thing that strike* the eye jnn seeing tho ear is its attractive color arrangement and general finish. Two yolors, Desert Sard and Pyramid Gray are used on the anterior.of the body, A MAMMOTH ELEC- * saparated by a belt running from the radiator to the rear of the body. Heavi­ ly niekled hgad lamps, parking lamp*, nnd radiator add greatly to the effect created with thi* two-tone coloring. With the tow-swung body it ha* been possible to obtain the appearance of n fast, powerful,' and at tbo aame time, flexible car; and thia appearance ia not deceptive. Tbe T-fl chassis. standard for all Reo passenger model* supplies the mecbknic.il ability that gives as­ surance of this. The tnp on the new roadster is con­ structed In *ueh a way that it ean bo raised or lowered in a moment’s time. For that matter, it can be completely remove! or put back in place in almost a* short a period. The top is of Chase double-texture, long-grain fabric, a ma­ terial well adapted to use on a model where the top is apt to be folded a good shorn nf the time. Upholstering is in hand-buffed Dual­ tone kulher, tho same material being used for both tho regular scat and thu rumbles sent which open* from under I he rear deck. Side*, inner surfaces of doors, and other exposed parts of the interior are covered with tho same frame, and od thi* is mounted a rust­ proof metal plate with speedometer, ammeter, cigar lighter, instrument light anil eloek grouped in a cluster assem­ bly. Tho windshield proper is in one piece, but there are integral ride wing*, ad­ justable for purposes of controlling ventilation. An automatic windthirld wiper is a part of the standard equip­ ment. Rubber padded steps on the wing bumpers in the rear and on tho rear fender* give access to the rumble •eat. When the seat is not in use, the rear compartment is covered by n deck cover, which fold* smoothly into the body on other occasions. The ruml lo seat may J>e removed entirely if space is desired for carrying largo paekiije*. Opening on the right side of the Imdy is a compartment large enough nnd long enough for golf bags and a number of other package*. Through this compart­ ment, ready access to tho storage bat­ tery is also obtained..

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! Buick Model 35-6-5n Each year brings substantial improvements in the mechanism, appearance, and comfort of BUICK cars. . < They have a splendid engine; four-wheel brakes; new body; new upholstery; new frame; new fenders; and new radiators. In short, these beautiful 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 twenty-eight fine ve­ The A* • ( ' hicles that bear the Buick nameplate for the sea­ son of 1925, there is a range of selection and a / mechanical excellence that insures the utmost satisfaction. • '■ And the new BUICK models are distinct re­ velations. From search-light to tire carrier these cars are brand new automobiles. [■asm " I 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 prinsiple 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. Buick Creed A ^uick 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 JBuick car and so consistently adhered to ever since—that of giving the owner the maximum of service for the Lninimum of cost. Every Buick owner is entitled to, and will re­ ceive prompt and efficient service—the kind that will insure him the motoring pfeasure 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 Buick reputation so pre-erninently firm and fair, was not won by chance, but is due to the the responsibility of maintaining the high pres­ tige which Buick cars have attained.

No farmer or fruitgrower can afford to be without these tools when their small cost is compared with their great worth in weed destruction and toil cultivation. Investigate these new inventions. Call at the factory and let us show you. PTC HARROW ATTACHMENT P-C CULTIVATOR SWEEP "A 174ooth Spring Harrow equipped with 10 of the above attachments will break up 1007 of the soil area and destroy all root growth. *• The P-C Cultivator Swedp has met with universal favor among farm’ers for the following reasons:— No weeds can escape being cut because the B-inch sweeps overlap each other two inches. A more, perfect seed' bed ia produced with the right kind of a dust mulch. A great saving of time and labor is effected. Heretofore the farmer has had only the standard culti­ vator sweep, which did .its own breaking. P-C GARDEN TOOL IS MORE THAN A HOE Patents Pending They aye made of the finest of implement steel and are easily and qtrickly attached to a Harrow. We offer for the first time a sweep separate from and behind a breaker. ’ The P-C Sweep eliminates bent sweep shanks and allows sweep to bo operated in nearly a horizontal position, even in hard soil. Replacement can be made of a sweep, the same as mow­ er sections. " P-C Sweeps are made with a shearing angle of the cut­ ting edge which is different from all old types of sweeps. The angle and peculiar shape of P-C-Swceps is guaran­ teed to eliminate clogging. - We especially call your attention to the fact that this Is the only attachment of its kind on the market No cultivator, unless equipped with a set of P-C Harrow Attachments, can produce satisfactory results. . Fruit growers will find them to be a distinct advantage. WHY You should be interested in P-C Products WEEDS Do you appreciate the enormous reduction An crops throughout the United States every year due to weed growth? The use of P-C Product^ will overcome this tremendous loss. WHY? . It combines the functions of several farm and garden implements into one simple tool. . There no hard manual labor connected with its opera­ tion. . IT COVERS 100% OF SOIL AREA. , The concave blade causes the tool to maintain an even depth. IT )S 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. 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 .hould uw P-C product.. WHY?—Because yop farm to make money. P-C Products save timu and labor and completely eradicate WEEDS. IF YOU ARE A DEALER—You should handle P-C ProductsWHY?—Because every farmer and gardener in the United States will buy yiese tools at sight. IF YOU ARE A JOBBER—You should haadle P-C ProductsWHY?—Because they are as staple as nails. Our salesmen sell 90% of the dealers called on. I ' �ram wnhmmr THE HAKTINOB BANNER.

How Finances of tho High School aro Managed. of all high school organizations, uni­ form, a new plan was adopted and put into effect last year. The plan in Brief is that each high school organization exclusive of ‘thn Finance Association, whieh has a separate account and tha Campfire and Y, M. O. A. group*, doposit their funds in thn bank, together with the fund* of’every other organ!High Kchool Association Aeroufat. Thn deposit of «aeh elub Iff credited to.that club in tbe books of the association. All bills are paid by check drawn by the treasurer of the rlub and the ’cheeks are debited against thn fund of that individual rlub or organization. Another-feature of the plan I* that n requisition blank must first bo made out and signed by tho faculty advisor of the organization. A* ean readily bo seen, there are many advantages to this new plan. Firat, it facilitate* the handling of the money both hero at account and not fifteen scparatn ac­ counts. Another tidvuntago in thnt no money can be paid out oxcq>t with tho authority of a faculty member. Third, if nny treasurer leaves school or vacate* hi* office, thn money is automatically turned over to tho new treasurer. Fred H. Jone*, director of extra-curricular activities, and also general treasurer of the High School Associations account, stntns that at tho beginning of thia plan it was not clearly understood but before the end of the year nil high school organizations were carrying on their finance* according 16 the rule* of thn association.

(Zndxana) HE capital which enables the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to function efficiently in service to the public is provided by 49,804 shareholders who have invested in the Com­ pany's Capital Stock. These people come from all walks of life. They are bankers and wage earners, farmers, lawyers —your milkman, perhaps the laundryman— peoole'of every type. Of these stockholders 14,773 are active employes of the Company. , Nearly all their stock holdings are small—not ’ one owns as much as6% of the whole. Yet, these small individual investments—which alonecould achieve next to nothing—when united under the direction of capable managers, provide the capital which enables the Standard Oil Company (Indi­ ana) w gasoline ^Ufeto you millions of other people m ten rich and populous states. . • ; The widow, the orphan, the merchant, the fanner, the professional and laboring mam find here a safe investment for their savings- These small sums—ineffectual alone—when combined constitute the backbone of big business. And this is Capitalism! Collier’s Weekly, in a recent editorial, says: “Society was formerly divided into two classes: Men of Millions—the Capitalists: and Millions of ~ Men—the Public. But the Millions of Men are rapidly being graduated into the ranks of Men of Millions. Examine the lists of stockholders of big corporations. Millions of Men now own Big Business." Capitalism' Is merely the modem way of meet­ ing the needs of our highly complex civilization. The vast scope of the oil industry requires a large investment of capital. It takes huge sums to maintain great refineries, oil depots, tank wagons, service stations and othsr facilities for manufacture and distribution. s• The only way”to attract this capital 4s to en­ courage small investors to buy shares in the business, by showing them that such investment is safe and profitable. This, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has done. The great service institution which you know as the StandarcTOil Company (Indiana) is able, by reason of such capital, properly directed, to bring the products of petroleum to you, thus enabling you and millions of others to enjoy the freedom ot rapid, flexible individual trans­ portation. । .

Most of us are familiar with the prosperous appearance of tbe well man­ aged farm, and the value of farm land and the kind of farm buildings found in localities where dairying is firmly established, furnishes conclusive proof. A financial survey-was recently made of six towns, ranging in population from 350 to 5,000, located in sections where dairying is .well developed B»nk deposit.totaled $J7;325,140 nr,$1,288-75.Mr capita. A similar survey made in a group of six town* of about the same popula­ tion, in a locality where dairying was considered of little importance, bulv where soil and climate conditions were equally good, found bank deposits totaling $10,360,280, or $478.09 per capita. Bank deposits constitute positive evidence of prosperity. The dairy farmer is not dependent upon revenue received once a year when different crop* are harvested and sold, but has a steady, permanent, monthly income, dependent upon the number of cows he keeps, the quality of these cows, the care these cow* get, and the market value of the product. The most important factors affecting the size of thi* monthly income, are entirely within his control.

This Company is organized info a biff group, because no small group can handle the business of oil products on the vast scale which is re­ quired by our complex civilization. Only a large oil company can produce,and dis- tribute gasoline and lubricating oils which pen­ etrate to the most remote parts of the Middle West in such a way as to make possible the cir­ culation of the millions of automobiles. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an es­ sential part of the great scheme of modem life. Its experienced and trained personnel is of incal­ culable value to the community.

The writer undertakes to ray that there i* no work being done in or around the city of Detroit that deserve* higher newspaper commendation—work that will fruit in better thing* for our commonwealth and onr country—than that which is being done every dny, quietly and unobtrusively, by the pub­ lic sctdTol* of Hamtramck, with tho young people of that city, under the leadership of M. R. Keyworth. Mr. Keyworth's conception of the usefulness of tho public schools in building up real Americanism in peo­ ple who were not born in this country, or who have lived hero only a little while, is not limited to tho children. Under his supervision night schools for adults are conducted four evenings of each wook in. tho HAintramek school buildings. These night school* havo an enrollment of 3,200.

Tho rest attend for the purpose of doing special work in English, civics, or taking instruction in shop work, cooking, or in some of tho subject* taught in tho high tchooL Mr. Key­ worth has especially emphasized and encouraged this kind' of work, whieh had been started previous to his com­ ing. But in the two years while he has been superintendent the enroll­ ment bad quadrupled. Nearly all are Polish folks, ranging in ago from 17 to 40. In his visit to the night aehool*, the writer wo* impressed with tho seriousnos* of tho Polish people and their eagerness to learn. Over 90 per cent of those who attended night schools are mon. Over 00 per cent of tho pupils in the high school aro boys. Thi* i» duo to the fact that Polish families are large, and the girls are needed to help their mother* at home. The par­ ents feel that it is more necessary for the boy to bo educated than for the girl. Tho writer come away from Ham­ tramck deeply impressed with the work which is being done in the public school* of that city, end with the feel­ ing that Mr. Keyworth is doing about as fine a piece of public service as we know of.

We were impressed, too, with the fact that a good library in each school building, with plenty of room for the children to do their work in getting in touch with good literature in book.* and magazines, especially where sueh work ean bo carefully supervises! by good teachers, i* highly important. There can be no doubt of the value of having a dentist and a doctor to look after the health of tho children, a* that work is done in-Hamtramck. Needles* to add also that we were impressed with the fact tha: Ham­ tramck must have a wide-awake, up-todate school board, who so thoroughly hack up the Americanization work in the public school* and night school*, as carried on under Mr. Keyworth's supervision. He .has a fine organiza­ tion and a splenilid staff of teachers and helper*. One must form a favor ahi* opinion of the community whieh cheerfully support* school* which do sufh wonderful work a* i* being done in Hamtramck. When people who have eome to our country from foreign shore* cheerfully bear their share of the burden necessary- to maintain such Jhools, surely folk* who have had an merican background of two or three generation* or more ought to make every sacrifice that may be required in prder that the ppblie school* of our countrylmay l»e made more efficient in training' our youth, so that in educa­ tion of mind and heart they shall bo better prepared to beeorhci useful, patriotic citizens, capable of real ser­ vice. While the Americanization work be­ ing done in Hamtramck school* doc* riot command front page notice* in tho daily pres* and ia not featured in the magazines, in our judgment it is worthy of such consideration right now. '-The future will demonstrate it* worth. When that shall be plainly evident, a* it will be. it will be recog­ nized that tho schools of Hamtramck arc worthy of high commendation fur their contribution to the public wel­ fare of America.

Furthermore, Europe is look­ ing to the United States, right now, for mopey to rehabilitate itself. Europe wnpld bo very careful not to offend tho United State*, from whom she expects npon us.

Of course Japan could sot buy iron of this country after she had started azwar against us and Europe would hesitate a long time before sell­ . ing iron to an enemy of the United States, when Europe is absolutely de­ pendent upon u* for financing her eco­ nomic situation. i In’other words, there is’no founda­ tion, whatever, for aalieipatjng any war with Japan, at tho present time nor for several decade* in tho future.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes that capita] should be used for the benefit of the greatest number of people—that oil products should be made available to all—that the price of these products must be held down to permit their universal enjoyment An oil field is something created by nature— but nature is no economist She places her products where she finds conditions favorable, with no thought for man's convenience. Generally oil is found in remote regions— discovered after great risk and rendered acces­ sible and usable only through heavy expenditures of money, and the application of experience, in­ genuity, foresight and thrift in the management of industry.

Thp Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is doing its part to bring thjs condition about by ' making enough gasoline to meet the demands; selling it at a low price, and distributing it so widely and so thoroughly that every one may command it at will. . To render a service so essential to the publie welfare, an organization must have torei sight, initiative, size and power. To reduce the cost of refining; to stand­ ardize the quality of gasoline, and to conquer the difficulties of thorough distribution, re­ quires vast resources, facilities and experience. The ideal of service to ail, has been the stimulus and incentive behind every expansion of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). In building great steel tanks to hold oil in safety and without waste; in organizing tank wagon fleets, or building outpost service stations; in derising more economical refinery methods—the determination to serve has in­ spired tbe effort that overcame difficulties and made Standard Oil Company (Indiana) products, household words. This Company has never been baffled by the magnitude or difficulty of any task. It • never has shirked toil nor the burden of initi­ ative! It has blazed the trail, and the fruit of its daring is—gisoline for all, at prices all can afford to pay. The efforts of this Company have been abundantly rewarded. It is axiomatic that genuipe service, honestly rendered, always receives its just reward. But the profits won are only part of the pay, for this organization sincerely rejoices in the thought that through its exertions, motor miles for business or pleasure, have been Increased, bringing easier living, better health and wider opportunities to millions of families.

And as the air is humidified, the ashes arc dampened to elimin­ ate dust, and the fuel steamed to get the maximum heating efficiency. Do you know of any other heating system, AT ANY PRICE, that idoe? all of that? Ia it any wonder ■that hundreds of thousands of people are repeating so frequently that ‘‘Holland Furnacea Make Warm Friends”? And the average heating system costs much more than the Holland.' Why pay an unnecessarily high T*”price for a heating plant? Why waste fuel and then not have enough warmth? And why breathe dry, stale air when circulated air, prop­ erly moistened, actually costs less? The New Holland Hubiidifier The Holland Heating System is equipped now with an air-moistener that ia not only highly efficient, but ia so extremely simple that it post- ’ tively can not get out of order.

Market ALL DAY Conducted by a Factory Representative of. Chase£& Sanborn Seal Brand Coffee THEY WERE THE Pioneers In Coffee Back in 1864 a firm set out to supply New Eng­ land with good coffee. But they didn't stop there. As the country grew, they grew. When a railroad was pushed out and a town suddenly or slowly built up, Chase & Sanborn would be sure to entrust the sale of their coffees and teas to the very best groceryman they could find. Then, about 1880, they originated the idea of packing coffee irf hermetically sealed tins—that was to keep good coffee good. Today, wherever you go, in cities and villages that once might have been Frontier posts or villages, you ill find a certain bond among discriminating coffee - will drinkers. It is the goodness of Chase & Sanborn Seal Brand Coffee. It is packed in sealed tin cans—never in bulk. . Seal Brand Orange Pekoe Tea is of the same high quality as Seal Brand Coffee. In screw-top canisters only. We are again pleased to call attention to our complete line of Food Supplies.

Not only has the numper stockholder has greatly decreased — namely, from 140.1 shares per ndlder in 1900 to 49.7 in 1923. “Security purchases by wage earners would not have come bo soon or bo rapidly, were it not for tbe wise policy of some of the greatest American corporations in offering shares to their employes on easy and attractive terms.” What is true of industry generally is true of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) specifically. In 1919 there were 4.623 stockholders, in 1925 there are 49,804 stockholders. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a pioneer in offering shares of the Company's stock to its workers. It believes that the real solution of ths most serious problems confronting capital and labor is found by encouraging labor to acquire a substantial capital interest in the enterprise. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) long ago offered its employes participation in the rewards which this Company has drawn from service to society. It makes it posable for an employe to pur­ chase shares of stock in the Company on attrac­ tive terms. The system provides that for each dollar invested by the worker, fifty cents Is given to him by the Company—so tliat if an employe bqys ten shares, be really acquires 15 shares. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) incor­ porated tbe idea of employe ownership of stock in the Company to encourage thrift in the organ­ ization, and to render the public a larger and more effective service. Employe ownership'means smoother relations between workers and the Management, and this in turn means added value to the consumer in Standard Oil Company ' k » (htdiana) 010 So.

The Fordson saves feeding time, watering time, grooming time and hitch-up time. It needs no “favoring" or breathing spells. It will work twenty-four hours a day. Fordson farmers finish their Spring work— plowing, hurrwirirxer and seeding — the right time, because of their ability to do more and better work when weather and soil conditions are favorable. . 8ZS-VW .

If representation were based strictly on population, Way no eounty would bo entitled to about one third of th* seats In both tho senste and tha house, and that would give to Wayne eounty a practical P®»ar legisla­ tion.

When ono re­ flects upon tho fact that W per cent of tho population of Detroit ia foreign born or children of foreign born, and that it has a very largo unnaturalixed population, ono can see the danger in permitting Wayno to have a represen­ tation based upon population alone. Wo are saying this not because we aro Ercjudieed against the foreign born, at because it will take the third gen­ eration of them to qualify for repre­ sentation in tho legislature by reason vf their lack of ’understanding of and sympathy with American institution* Tho present plan seems to bo to give io Wayno alibut fourteen out of ths ono hundred seats In tho houM and seven out of tho thirty two scat* in the son- Special Clearance Sale ON HIGH GRADE PAINTS, VARNISHES and COLOR VARNISHES HOUSE HOUSE HOOSE HOUSE HOUSE COLORS—Regular COLORS—Regular COLORS—Regular COLORS—Regular COLORS—Regular FLOOR FLOOR FLOOR FLOOR PAINT—Regular Price$3.65 Gallos, Now .------------PAINT—Regular Price1.94 1-3 Gallo*, Now .

Polarine correctly lubricates all, frictional sur­ faces. Polarine resists heat and wear. Polarine has the right cold test. The viscosity of each grade of Polarine conforms ' exactly to the conditions it is designed to meet.Polarine is manufactured scientifically and with chemical accuracy, to maintain an unbroken film of oil between frictional surfaces in all engines, regardless of weather, season or work­ ing conditions. Polarine is made in six grades. It gives complete satisfaction in all types and makes of automobile Based upon our intimate knowledge of the scien­ tific constitution of Polarine, we assert, confidently, that Polarine will lengthen the life of your engine and pay royal dividends in the form of repair costs saved.

Not only has the numvncreased. but the average number of shares per stockholder has greatly decreased—namely, from 140.1 shares per holder in 1900 to 49.7 in “Security purchases by wage earners would not have come so soon or co rapidly, were it not for the wise policy of some of the greatest American \ corporations in offering shares to their employes on easy and attractive terms.” What is true of industry generally is true of the Standard CHI Company (Indiana) specifically. In 1919 there were 4.623 stockholders, in 1925 there are 49,801 stockholders. pioneer in offering shares of the Company’s stock to its workers. It believes that the real solution of the most serious problems confronting capital and labor is found by encouraging labor to acquire a substantial capital interest in the enterprise. , The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) long ago offered its employes participation In the rewaras which this Company has drawn from service to society. It makes it possible for an employe to pur­ chase shares of stock in the Company on attrac­ tive terms. Tlie system provides that for each dollar invested by the worker, fifty cents is given to him by the Company—so that if an employe buys ten shares, be repay acquires 15 shares. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) incor­ porated the idea of employe ownership of stock in ths Company to encourage thrift in the organ­ ization, and to render the public a larger and more effective service. Employe ownership means smoother relations between workers and the Management, and this in turn means added value to the consumer in the way of better service and more economical production. Last month wo called attention to the birds whose arrival wo should look for in March. Below we give from tho same article, those who time their ar­ rival in tho northland during the com­ ing month of April. Tho information Is fnrnishe\from a pamphlet printed by W. A. Tateum of Grand Rapids, the text of which wm originally given by Prof. Stover, of Iowa. "During the first week of April, that gaunt and long-legged bird-giant, tho greet blue heron, commonly but improperly called "blue crake,” makes 1 appearance along with tho coot or dhoa, the-killdecr, plover, purplo finch, vesper sparrow, field sparrow, thrush nnd the first and hardiest of tho more than twenty-five species of warb­ lers, tho myrtle warble*; tho welcome purplo martins, too, take up their abode in the homes that havo been pre­ pared for them. "Between Apr. 10 and 20 we may ex­ pect the fallowing arrivals: of "waterbiMs" the pied-billed grebe or "hell­ diver," little green heron, American bittern, tho timid *ora or Carolina rail, tho pectoral sandpiper, and tho very appropriately named yellow-leg*. Two newcomers among tho birds of prey are the broad-winged and fed-ahonldered hawk*. Toward dark a great flock of chimney swifts is likely to be scon circling about an unused chimney or smokestack, then suddenly disappear ing into it as If by magic. Added to these are the noisy house wren, the ruby-crowncd kinglet, with .it* Wonrierzuuy- tnoauiaicu irctio song, ino ran* swallow, the rough-winged swallow aad the fork-tailed, barn swallow. ".The last ten days of April usually witness a marked increase in our bird population, particularly in tho number of individuals. Tho list of species is augmented by the following: black tern, tho chattering crested flycatcher, cliff swallow, lark and grasshopper sparrows, olive-baeked- thrush and annn rnn mm ransra Firas nrasra BE DE lil Era E13 Qrarrara one nn nnr nn hg msm nci tan nuEENQ nratiiTEra err ai* snna ns Era E.nra tie □irra oraflara ranra Sa nra n Era se Mffl nsn EEEE ranEn gee Ewrara eez brown thrasher; the latter is often, though incorrectly, called tho "brown thrush” and it* notes are sometimes mistaken for those of tho catbird.

The soil inAhis 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 are 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 wiq 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. He had been a dairy farmer in Illinois, and his first move after getting settled in his new home waa to get into the market for a herd of dairy cows, stating that he would bring his product to our factory. • , That man knows the value of dairying to the farmer, and has prospered at it. He is pros­ pering here, in the same old line. Follow his example and prosper. If you need assistance to get started in dairying come in and talk it over with us. are here to help.

A Service That Works The service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a service that “works" —under all conditions and in all seasons. It “works" because this Company is scientific­ ally progressive — because it creates wealth, constructs, builds. It "works" because this Company is inspired by the incentive to earn fair profits only, through honest, earnest and abundant service. When automobiles were few, small refining companies could produce all the gasoline and pils needed. Efficiency was not essential, for petroleum in all forms was a drug on the market. Now, when the O«oim withers million cars, efficiency is imperative. Only an organization as great in purpose as it is vast in scope can hope to supply the demands made upon it for oil products. These millions of motorists want fuel — they need gasoline of standard, uniform quality. They expect to find it at every crossroad and at a low price. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has set for itself the job of supplying the gasoline and oils needed by these millions of motorists in the Middle West. No excuse for a delay here or a breakdown there ever is offered. Motorists never are told that they cannot have gasoline because the refineries cannot produce it, or the distribution system has failed to function. No matter what the drawbacks, the service of this Company "works"—year in and year out. No nation can hope to hold its own in our modem, highly complex civilization without a great industrial system, based on reason­ able rewards for honest service. Only such a system develops great organiza­ tions—of which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is typical — which will work on the enormous scale required to the distinct advant­ age of society.

Is Your Financial House In Order? z Are you aware that of the forty-eight states there are but two that have no Inheritance Tgx Laws, and that all but seven of these are reaching out to collect as great an amount of tax as possible FROM NON-RESIDENT ESTATES whose property, in whole or in part, comes within their juris­ diction? Are you aware that having found these taxes a simple method of pro­ ducing revenue, rates have been raised quite generally, and that it is more than possible that twenty-five states will increase their Inheritance Taxes during the 1925 session of their Legislatures? Do you know that Secretary of the Treasury Mellon lias said that the •~»xl of jhrw- «*«* "MAY TAKE MORE THANJIALF OF A-LARGE I-STJi i m, CASxIsj Vv'HERxs * • PRACTICALLY THE ENTIRE PROPERTY ?” (The $3,000,000 estate of an individual was recently taxed in seventeen states other than the state of residence, the taxes aggregating $691,000 or nearly one-quarter of the entire estate). • Is your estate in such condition that your heirs will have tiic least pos­ sible amount taken from jhem through the operation of Estate and Inheritance Tax Laws? The prudent man will have a list of his securities and other properties examined by some one unquestionably competent to tell him approximately what these taxes will aggregate, as his property is now constituted, and liow far his estate may lawfully be relieved therefrom by READJUSTMENT OF SECURITIES, or otherwise. The Michigan Trust Company will en­ deavor to furnish information upon this subject at the request of any of its patrons, for wliich it will make no charge. The prudent man will also provide for the prompt and easy payment of tlicse taxa (often a sore problem) by an INHERITANCE TAX TRUST with The Michigan Trust Company, the small expense of wliich will be offset by tiie advantage of having ready means with which to meet these taxes without haring to dispose of part of the estate at a forced sale. This can be accomplished by placing in trust with this Company either life insurance or easily convertible securities, to provide for all such taxes. The Michigan Trust Company lias had wide experience in dealing with this class of taxes. Under such a trust, jour estate will have the advantage of this experience, for the Trust Company will endeavor to sec that the taxes arc not unlawful or excessive.

Emily Cordell* k/eElhcny which occurred Monday nftornoon, March 83, marked the cloaing of an unusual life, one that lacked but a little orer two yean of covering a century. The end which had been expected for tho part few weeks camo peacefully with visible signa of eonaciouiueas al­ moat to tho last. Thn life spark that burned no strongly in tbo feebin frame, was accompanied by unimpaired men­ tality tu tho last. The body waa taken front tha homo of her daughter, Mrs. Isabel Pancoast, in tho post office block, to the home of her other daughter, Mra Minnie Nobles on W. Green street, where it remained till thn hour of tho funeral whieh oc­ curred early ■Wednesday afternoon from the Presbyterian church for which Rev. Wilfred Lindsay, of Wapakoneta, Ohio, came back to officiate, Maintal by the local pastor, Bev. Kilmer. Tha remains' wero taken to Hickory Corner* for intonneut hesldo bar husband who died in 1884. *■ Mra. MeElheny was born in Allegany Co., N. Y., Nov. «, 1827, tho oldest of a family of five children, all of whom, save one, her youngest brother, Wil­ liam Dawning of Grant, Mich., have passed away. She camo of sturdy pioneer parentage, her parents being Mr. and Mrs. David Downing and her father lived to bo 96 years old. He was a veteran of tho Mexican war whieh evant Mra. McElheny remembered clearly. Pho loved schooling and profit­ ed to an unusual extent by the meagre educational advantages of her day. She nover eeased her efforts for self­ improvement nnd almost to the dny of her death desired to bo Informed of passing current events of importance. She was married in 1848, when 20 years of age, to John McElheny, four children being born to thia union, two of whom, Mr*. Isabel Pancoast and Mr*. Minnie Nobles, survive. Following the Civil war, in whieh her husband Mrvrd, they caine to Michigan in I860 settling near Hickory Comers, where relatives roHdeil. Soon after her husband's death Mrs. McElheny came to Hastings and has been a resi­ lient here for the forty years since. She has been surrounded with love and care by the daughters who have made every sacrifice to bring her con­ tentment and comfort. Friends too, have joined in attentions and honors to her. an her mind and personality made it a pleasure to do so. She had waited long for the end, which she faced with the calm assur­ ance of ono whose serene faith gave proof of tho poet's words: “I knowMiot where His islands lift their fronded palms in air, I only know I cannot drift beyond Hia love and eare.” Aside from the daughters and her brother, Mrs. McElheny is survived by throe grandchildren, Dr. Wynn Nobles of Coral, John Nobles, of thia eity, nnd Mrs. Bruee Haydon of Saginaw, and four great grandchildren.

Not a great deal of Scott’s Emulsion is needed—but a little regularly often means re­ stored vigor and strength tn Hrose who are rundown h. vitality or who are weak. -• CROUP-COUGHS-COLDS WHOOPING-COUGH .

Every gallon of Red Crown con­ tains more miles, because of the unbroken flow of energy in its continuous chain of boiling point fractions — unbroken clear to the heavy ends—the power end of the chain. Red Crown is a joy in action and a delight in economy—it su.w miles; it saves repairs; it' saves power; it saves your engine and avoids carburetor adjustments— because — Red Crown distribu­ tion is universal.

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 eleafing house for funds which are put to work in the interests of local business and fanning 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 means future prosperity for you and this community.

Mr. and Mrs. Bolton ■y It is to the advantage of the public that ownership of the Standard Ou Company (Indiana) steadily biomes deedv rooted and more widely spread among- tau pcupie aa a wt»ok. ‘ It is to the advantage of society that customers, stockholders and employes should cease to be three separate groups with distinct interests in oiTTnatters, and with frequently divergent viewpoints. - At the present time, thousands of people are at once patrons and employes of, and investors in, this great Company. This joint interest and own­ ership are giving a steadily increasing firmness and dependability to the service which this organiza­ tion renders the public. Much of the efficiency of the Standard OU Com­ pany (Indiana)—much of its smooth functioning, its avoidance of labor difficulties, its freedom to adopt progressive methods—are due to the fact that Main Street owns the Company's oil: Main Street refines and distributes this oil, ana Main Street uses the oil products. This organization is essentially democratic. It is financed by the people, operated by the people, and patronized by the people. \ The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in owner­ ship, management, labor and patronage, is an integral part of modern American civilization— Its products enter into the very texture of our daily life. When, thereforet we speak of the service j>f this organization to the public, We are speaking ' of something which is fundamental to society. , Especially does this apply to the ten Middle Western States in which this Company operates —and in which it has operated in such a manner as to have gained the respect, confidence and esteem of thirty million people.

For Summer Our claims for the efficiency of Polarine "F”— the new oil for Fords—have met with the enthusiastic indorsement of Ford owners. They have found that it does two things and does them well— Pint—It stops transmission noise effectively by building up on the drums ■ stable "lubricating film which will not rub on under the scraping action ot the bands. Second—Il lubricates the engine thoroughly and causes it to operate quietly and efficiently. Polarine “F” for Fords costs no more than a single purpose oil. If you drive a car other than a Ford, consult chart at any Standard Oil Service Station; at Any Authorized Garage or Filling Station, for the correct grade of Polarine to use. Drain your crankcase every 500 miles and refill with the correct grade of Polarine. It adds ' efficiency and effects economy. Standard Oil Company 3840 • (Indiana) f . Hastings, Mich.

Economical Direct MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE CO �Second Annual Issue of “The Building and Better Homes’ Edition of The HASTINGS BANNER —•?* D-D HERE is no agency that speak* so loudly for Happiness and Contentment as "OWNING YOUR OWN HOME.” It is the dream and the hope of every newly­ wed couple, and the aspiration of all who embark upon the matrimonial seas. A nation of people owning their qwn homes, is a happy, contented, and prosperous nation. Recognizing this FACT, 'governments—state, city and even national—have placed their seals of approval upon every proposal tending to encourage the con­ struction of homes. Any man can take up hid daily duties with a lighter heart, and a stouter heart, when he knows that at the <nd of the day, he has his own home to retire to, and with that thought in mind he is a better man, a more useful man, and a more loyal citizen. With all the agencies there are today, such as Building and T Loan Associations and others, to assist, the way is not difficult. "STOP PAYING RENT” should be a national slogan. By saving your "rent money” and applying it on- the purchase, or the construction, of a hofne, you'll have it paid for* in ten years’, and you’ll hardly know- HOW YOU SAVED THE MONEY. You have no special pride in a home you rent. Vou Won't have anything else but pride in a Home you OWN. With these ideas in mind we commend the attention of all to the "Build­ ing and Better homes” Section of the HASTINGS BANNER for this week, and next week. . niiuimi1,'. ■idfiiiiiMiHiiiiiiiiiiiii: mi �Uy CRACK LORRY Just u« tha first hundred years are tbe hardest, so the first thou­ sand dollars are the hardest to eave!

With ono of these the high radiator in the dining room may become a high, narrow shelf to keep plates warm; tho medium high ono which fills the wall space in ths hall may become a console table with Its candlesticks nnd decorative vase, while tho low radiator below tbe window In tho living room may be made into a window seat which wll be a favor­ ite spot. all winter Mutch tlx Woodwork. , The tops of the covers may match any wood finish in the room, walnut, mahogany or oak. or they may bo enameled or painted to match tho colored furniture which is so popu‘iar now. The radiator's fundamental purpose, of course, is to distribute heat, and for that reason the'sides of the cover must be perforated. To achieve this end, the manufacturers are forming the aides by a series of small metal rods, close together, or a cane effect, also ia metal.

Be went further than thi*, in his trespass against that Christian love whieh he, ns a minister, ought to have shown. He wrote a letter, one day last week, to Judge Ella C. Eggleston of this city whieh, for gross insult, contemptible spirit and narrowness of view, is a classic example of insulting ■ nd bigoted meanness. He not oaly passed scurrilous criticisms upon one of her official acts a* judge of the juvenile court of Barry eounty, but he even descended to the cowardly course of threatening her with a public attack upon her record, in the particu­ lar ease he mentioned, on the following (last) Bunday night. This threat he proceeded to carry out, to whieh we shall refer later in thia article. The Welfare Department of the Rtate of Michigan furnishes to evenr probate judge, who i» nl»o the judge of tho ju­ venile court for the eounty, a list of the institutions which they have exan> ined, endorsed and approved, to which the judge is directed to send juvenile offenders, who are brought into court, and upon plea of guilt or conviction, may be renteaeed to some corrective institutioa. Among th* Institutions for girls recommended to Judge Eggicnton and to nil other Michigan probate judge* by the State Welfare Board ia “The House of the Good Shepherd” nt Grand Rapid*. Two girl* not long ago were brought before Judge Eggleston on criminal charge*. They plead guilty. The con­ fessed offense* were of such a character that punishment by confinement ia some institution seemed to thn court Board, without consulting any one a* to which institution should be the ehoiee.

Company (Indiana) has been called a ‘•practical idealist,” because of its sane appreciation of tlw relation between smi« and ‘ JmpUs. It rraliaes that profit is the only spur to attract capital, which in turn makes the economi­ cal production of merchandise possible. t/w. Jt-I* because the Company. J>y successful management, fab-sighted policies and mwsUng .that service is the surest guide to profit, has been able to earn a satisfactory return for its stock­ holders. that money has wen available always, when further expansion of the business has been necessity. • ■ This Company realises that profits always follow intelligent service. Without a genuine service, honestly rendered, there can be no sus­ tained profit. It is futile, therefore, to consider profits at all without first considering tlie service which produces them. ' What the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) does to create an essential service to 30 million upeople in 10 Middle Western States must be con­ sidered necessarily before the reasonableness of - "what it earns” can be estimated. w The ramifications of service as referred to above are legion. Delivering a good product is only one phase, and while of major importance, it is not primary or even pasic. , For service is efficient only in so far as it if whole-souled and enthusiastic. The Management of the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana),lays its cornerstone of service on , the foundation of taking a sincere and keen in­ f terest in the welfare of the 27,000 men and women who make up its organisation. For an employe to do good work—to do justice to himself and to his task—must have a free and easy mind without worry for the future. The Management of this Company has provided t method whereby employes can accumulate—in /yhich the Company assists liberally—it has pro•nded an insurance plan for the family of the employe—it has provided a competence for old age or incapacity. The effect of these several plans has been to promote harmony — enthusiasm — good-will—in short, the spirit of service—which makes money for stockholders, 15,000 of whom are employes. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), in mak­ ing profits for its stockholders, is enabled to con­ tinue making petroleum products for its customers thus increasing the national wealth, and enabling our splendid modern civilization to “move on wheels,” to the fulfilling of a continually greeter and more important destiny.

TUDEBAKER has $60,000,000 invested in plants in which Studebaker can are manufactured complete, including all • bodies, both open and closed. No other large automobile manu­ facturer that we know of makes all of his own bodies. \ This means that Studebaker saves the profit of outside parts makers and body-builders. Thus the price of this new coach is not bur­ dened by an extra profit. At $1295 it represents a value no other S Verified By The Millions When® Smoked l£ automobile manufacturer can dquaL And no other manufacturer can offer a coach of such fine quality at the price. For every coach that Studebaker builds carries with it traditions of fine crafamanahip that have existed in Studebaker . / plants since X852.

A nation of people owning their own homes, is a happy, contented, and prosperous ^IJIIIIIJ nation. h::: Recognizing this FACT, governments—state, city and even national—have placed their seals of approval uponjevery .proposal tending to encourage the con­ struction of homes.- Any man can take up his daily 'duties with a lighter heart, and a stouter heart, when he knows that at the end of the day, he has his own home to retire to, and with that thought in mind he is a better ipan, a more useful man, and a more loyal citizen. With all the agencies there are today, such as Building and Loan Associations and others, to- assist, the way is not difficult. "STOP PAYING ^lENT” should be a national slogan. By saving your “rent money’’ and applying it on the purchase, or the construction, of a home, you’ll have it paid for in ten years, and you’ll hardly know HOW YOp SAVED THE MONEY. ■US®!!- You have no special pride in a home you rent.

We believe it doea, for thia reason:—She has not the time to go to the rtore in the morning to make her purchases for dinner, and in the afternoon when making 1 a social call, or taking a little recreation, she,1,does not wish to be loaded down with a lot of bundles, teauaing her to be exhausted when she reaches home to start the evening meal. She can step to the phone and call her ortjer to us and have it laid on her table. — -—----- STRAWBERRY CORNERS. ) Relatives from Grand Ledge visited the Winn ns homo Sunday.

' * Statistics prove that the states which lead in the number of motor cars per 1000 population have the highest percentage of homes owned. Since 1915, home building has followed in direct ratio, the increase in motor car pro­ duction. The home follows the automobile, and the automobile followed the wide distribution of gasoline and oils at prices which all can afford * . i to pay. i • i » I : . • ; , ’ i ! - The low price of gasoline and oil which makes the universal use of the automobile possible is due solely to the intensive work of the petroleum industry. • The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) by the application of modem refinery processes has taken a leading part in creating enormous additional percentages of gasoline from crude. In addition, it has put into operation the first modem, and the most complete system for distribution of oil products. A few years ago the horse and buggy was the mark of affluence. Only the well-to-do fell able to enjoy euch luxury. Today, hundreds of thousands of people go to and from their work in a motor car. Motor vehicles carry 289,000 children to school, every day of the school year. . Home owning is nation building. Crowded industrial cities once threatened to reduce all American families to the ranks of aparlnfent dwellers. The production of an abundance of high-grade, refined petroleum was the scientific achievement which, by making automotive transportation at low cost possible, gave every worker the opportunity to put 20 miles or more between home and job, and enabled him to bring up his children where the air is fresh and the grass is green. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service puts oil at the disposal of every motorist in the Middle West. In perfecting this service, this Company has contributed to the upbuilding of thousands upon thousands of happy American homes. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of its part in such constructive work. It is by such achievements that this company attains enduring success.

To appreciate this, recall that embarreling incident of being "out of gas.” As gasoline is the leading factor in performance, we are up to the point of quality. Red Crown ia the standard, high quality gasoline. It has stood the test of time; been proved and ap­ proved by millions of motorists. It will produce more power—more at a lower cost, than any other gasoline you can buy because tho arrangement of the boiling point fractions is ncimtifinally correct It vaporizes to the last drop—It delivers a bigger value per dollar spent than any other commodity we know.

Here is positive.evidence of the value of keeping GOOD COWS and working constantly to improve the herd. And this evidenc^Jis right here in the vicinity of Hastings, where every statement can be verified and the cows whose records are here given can readily be seen. Carl Heise, who lives a few miles northeast of Hastings, has been working for several years to im­ prove his herd of milk cows. He is using and has been using for several years a purebred bull and working constantly to build up a better purebred bunch of cows. ight of this announcement is that of the bull wh'ch Ir. Heise now owns, and the picture below is of on of the purebred cows of his profitable herd. For some time past Mr. Heise has been a mem­ ber of a Cow Testing association, and knows what his cows are doing. Here are the records of two of them, showing positive profit:— Record for 151 Days ONE COW produced 7,479 lbs. of milk, or 240 1-10 lb*. of butter fat, and gave a profit above coat of feed of $66.09. ONE COW produced 6,934 lb a. of milk, or 303 3-10 lb*, of butter fat, and cleared above cost of feed $94.61. Suppose Mr. Heise had 10 cows that would do as well as that for the year? They would give him a net income of over $ 1,800 per year above cost of feed. NOT SO BAD! Can There Be Any Question About the Value of Good Cows tn View of These Facts? There Is a Steady Movement Toward Eliminat­ ing the .“Scrub” Cows—the “non producers”—the “boarders”—those which are just about payingfor their feed or maybe not quite. The sooner Barry county farmers get rid of the inprofitable cows the sooner there will be prosperity inn the agricultural sections in which we are most in­ the institerested Prosperity has always followed f< tution of a herd of GOOD DAIRY'COWS.

This thought applies to industrial manage­ ment, 9S well as to industrial production. The Standard Oil' Company (Indiana) main­ tains an unvarying standard in the goods it manufactures because it knows that by main­ taining these standards a greater service can, and will, be rendered its patrons. Its selling prices are based on costs. This policy enables it to sell its standard, high-quality gasoline and oils at consistently low prices, and at the same time to pay adequate wages to its em■ ployes and a proper return to its stockholders. Only by such well rounded skill in manage­ ment can lasting service to society be rendered. Labor, capital, consumer demand and selling price are all inextricably interwoven. Notone of these factors can be ignored if an industrial organization is to remain in business. At times these elements seem to be in conflict. Customers want lower prices, labor wants higher wages, stockholders want more return from their investment.

Knowing the chemical ciomenta that mako al­ cohol, they have found a way to com­ bine those element* chemically without retorting to the usual process at fer­ mentation. Bo by mixing the proper in­ gredients chemically they have grain alcohol at this very modaralo coat. If press dispatches shall bo confirmed as to thia discovery, people need not gaaolinT. If it ean be produced at a cost of 18 cents a gallon, people will not nood to worry about the depletion of oil reserves of the country or of the world for that matter. Following this announcement came another that an English chemist, by passing beams of certain colored light ray* through formaldehyde waa able to produce a fino article of sugar, that would in every way be as good as the cano sugar! The price of formalde­ hyde is ao high that thia method of making augar would n|>vcr bo practical, from a commercial standpoint.

We get money and go ahead aijd spend it, think­ ing that things “will come out all right anyway."

A HE Standard-Oil Company (Indiana) is one of the outstanding successes of Amer­ ican industry. T It interprets success not from the balance sheet alone, but from the achievement of its ideal to produce gasoline and oil in sufficient quantities to nfeet all demands.'and to sell these products at prices all can afford to pay. Each year the registration of motor-driven vehicles increases, and with each increase comes a, tremeijjdpus additional demand for gasoline ' It to the business of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to meet this ever-increasing demand. To do this it* facilities must be kept constantly ahead of current requirements. The latest figures for 1924 give our national automobile registration as 17,740,236. When it to considered that there are but 27 million fam­ ilies (approximately) in our country, it is easy to see that the family enjoyment of the auto- ' mobile is nearly universal. We take great pride in the advance of our auto­ mobile industry but the vast expansion of this enormous business would have been impossible without the foresight, initiative, hard /tvork and sound judgment-of the oil Industry generally, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) par­ ticularly. For t!hto universal employment of the automo­ bile, a constantly dependable supply of oils and gasoline at low prices is necessary. The business of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has prospered because it has served the millions—because its service has been hon­ est, sincere, tireless and efficient—and because the basis of this service has been to hold down Such service has given impetus to the tepid growth of the automobile industry and this service has been a fundamental contribution to the splendid civilization we see around us today.

We are sorry wp wore unable to get n good report of this affair. Watch Page 13 Replying to the article in tho BAN­ NER last week relative to our remark* regarding the Woodland school, we wish to say we were not trying to *tir up anything by our remark*. We hove no desire to quarrel with the good pepolo of Woodland. There is no doubt that the consolidated school there is fine and is entirely satisfactory to the majority of the people thcro in town but we sim­ ply stated what was reported to us by five different ladies who wero shown through the new building tho day of the Mncoabcc rally. The one* who arc against tho school are the country peo­ ple who have to send their childron iu town to school. Wc foci no animosity toward those who passed tho interest­ ing resolution* against our article last week and feel the whole matter could be very easily traced back homo where it originated. We do know’ thia: A very prominent burincaj man of Wood­ land made this, statement a few days ago: “Woodland waa on its last leg*. The store buildings were becoming va­ cant and people were moving away from our town for our school wa* badly ruu down. But when wc got busy and built our new school house thing* began to revive again and now we are on the map once more nnd nearly all our store building* arc filled and house* are at ■ premium. That ’» whnt a good school doc* for a community.” Wo congratu­ late Woodland upon their fine school and almost envy her, but wc arc fully convinced that such a school is not for Freeport. Th? intelligent people of Freeport are ^>ot opposed to consolida­ tion and never have been, in fact, for some time a consolidated school was talked, here and very intense investiptloru were made n» to its possibility and advisability and it is interesting to notr^that at that time the very one* who'were "for consolidation now fought it with all their might. When it was found that thi* plan whs not only inad­ visable, but also nearly if not entirely impossible, these same dhe* switched over and favored consolidation. It would appear (here people do not want two nieecs, Mrs. Ella Holbrook Rodgers, of Muskegon, nnd Miss Louise Hol­ brook, of Chicago. Out of town people who came to at­ tend the service* at Riverside for Mra. Carnahan were Mr. nnd Mra. E. F. Meluiughlin, of Muskegon, Mrs. W. B. MeLaughlin, of Muskegon, and Miss Louise Holbrook, of Chicago.

Alfred F. Way in the Michigan Christian Advo­ cate of May 14. The greatest tragedy is not that we fail in material suecem, but that wc fail in living. It waa the writer’s privilege, at one time to ride through the beautiful volley that skirt* the The Roll Call The old ranks are slowly filling again. Once more, side by side, old comrades of the days of Gettys­ burg, Santiago, the Argonne, answer “Here." Again in a few days that bugler of another world faintly sounds the roll call of our soldier dead. And over those green and silent bar­ racks it seems that a veil dissolves, revealing beside each mound some well loved figure in blue or khaki or olive drab. And we who salute them In the mean time DECIDE on some defi­ nite concrete plan for getting ahead. ADOPT The rugged, rocky pqaks stood Ilka irinnt sentinels agninsttho distant skylino; the1 afternoon sun had woven floeey cloudlets into a curtain of many color*, and draped it about tho crest of ©very highland, until the scene wns on© of regal splendor. The writer spoke to some "Ptllman neighbor**’ who were busying them«elve* with «ml», about the picture, but a mo­ ment *s glnneo and n half-hearted ament wn., the only "rise.” They talked much of card sense, but there seemed to be no sons© of the sublime ‘things. What a tragedy to fall to develop our mind and soul, so that we live without appreciation of thn finer things of life. Can wo afford to quit too soonl Growing out of all tho above is the rhlefest of all—the service on© may be to others. School days are for -this purpose. All i* failure if wo fail here. Wo bwe to God and oqr fellows the highest development of our bo*t selves. God may use an undeveloped mind, but He can use the ednented. strong rersonalilv with greater efficiency. Tho moral of my story is—remain In school until the eollegu commencement day, if possible. You will then have just begun going to school. All of life will be a challenge to study, to think, to servo and to enjoy.

Booth, Presi­ dent of the International Chamber of Com­ merce. Long ago the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) foresaw the change in business which is now taking place. Several years ago this Company took a long step in' advance by widening the ownership of its capital stock, and by bringing into complete harmony the interests of cus­ tomers, stockholders, employes and the public. By the Governor The march of the Grand Army of the liepublie is nearly over. The va»t and sturdy rank* of n generation ago have dwindled to a hazy lino of a^ed but cxaltbd veteran*. Time wua when men from their own rank* decorated tho grave* of their fallen comrade* and glorilied the deed* of living warrior*. Thi* duty ha* now falleh upon tho citi­ zen* of a grateful jcpublie. Once eaeh year a* long a« tbb>, tho happiest, mightiest and mo*t righteon* of nil no­ li ou* endure*, we will bo railed upoa to honor not only the valor of veteran* of the Civil War, but to pay homage to (Oldier* of all other conflicts of -the nation. In pence with all the world, our tribute to the honored dead and Onty.ty. th? profitable employment of the served and labor^employed. The stockholder wants dividends. Dividends are paid out of profits. Profits follow service to the consumer. Efficient service to the consumer can only be achieved through a vfise labor policy. ■ By the careful, thorough-going administra­ tion of its affairs, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has interlocked these interests in such a manner as to promote complete har­ mony in its own organization—and to develop and encourage the spirit of “I Will” and "I Can'’—resulting in an enthusiastic service to tlit’ thirty million people of ten Middle Western states. - Every purchaser of a gallon of gasoline manu• factured by this Company gets the benefit of a myriad of activities, the enthusiastic labor of innumerable men, and the use of an immense amount of capital. . The ideal which inspired the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to work for a practical fusion of the formerly divergent interests was an ideal of urvict: an earnest desire to further progress by the creation of new wealth in the form of an abundant supply of petroleum products: a determination to sell these prod­ ucts at prices low enough to bring them within the read) of all; making the comfort and luxury of motoring as available to the day laborer as to the multi-millionaire. - Standard Oil Company (Indiana) »* General Office t Standard OU Building 910 So.

I We were very fortunate in having as our chief speaker for the evening Mr. Lucius Wilson, of Chiea/o, whom Barry county, with twelve other counties io thia state, has scoured to help in the work of the Fnrm ■Bureau membership campaign to taka plaee thie fall. Mr. Wilson wns a farmer himself, ,being born on a farm In Livingston county. He therefore has had practical experi­ ence in this lino of work, and knows just what the fanners’ problems art. Ho brought out the fact that we, aa fanners, cannot live aa individuals and bo successful. We must be willing to co operate with others. " Individualism ruled years ago," said Mr. Wilson, "when our forefathers came to this country, but it individualist is gotten.' Mr. Wilson stated that by united ef­ fort "many things can bo accompliahed which an individual may never ac­ complish. In other words, organization ia the keynolo to success.

MICH. �I Wednesday, June 3 THE HASTINGS BANNER THERE IS JUST One Sure Way TO HA VE MONEY And that is to SAVE IT, by entrusting it to the safe keeping ef some responsible banking,institution, so it can’t “burn holes in your pockets.” lt’» always well to have something laid up for a “rainy day." The "rainy, day" of sickness, adversity, or hard times is pretty sure to come- to every man at some time in his life. 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 1 had only saved my money when 1 had the chance." You can start saving by depositing a very small amount—only a dollar or two—and add to it as rapidly at 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. Why not start saving NOW? Why not TODAY? ’ ■■■■■■■ PART TWO HIGH STREET. OOATB GROVE. Mr. and Mra.

Added advantages are to be had in the Community Lyceum Course, the splendid churches, the various lectures andgatheringa which center about the commu­ nity of Hastings. "The Fortnight,” the High School paper, is in its second year of successful publication. The Hastings High School is known throughout the state for its wholesome influence over the students.

Increases such as shown in the above figures have oc­ curred in every desirable phase of the city’s develop­ ment. Plans of the city government and the public service corporations are based on the needs of a far greater population than Detroit now has. And in an­ ticipating this demand of the future more than strong faith and enthusiastic vision were depended upon for estimates. Millions of dollars are involved in this ex­ tension work and sound practical methods were used for arriving at approximate figures. With every increase in the size and activities of the city, real estate has gone up in value. From 1'to 75 million dollars have been made by automobile manu­ facturers and in one case a fortune oM750.000.000 has come to one man in the industry. But thexcombined earnings.of all these is far less than the amount that has been made in Detroit real estate. One case of real, estate profit which is In no way un­ usual, is that of a lot on West Grand Boulevard. In 1904, when the Stormfeitz-Loveley Company was slart_ed there were but two houses between Grand River and Second, on the Boulevard. By 1914 thia company had subdivided a large tract there and lots which originally sold for about 32,800 were valued at 38*000* One of these lol# was recently resold for 3120,000. FOR 10 YEARS LATER -and TODAY J X 92 7-10 " 14 210,000 Today the city is in a better position to advance than ever before in its history. It has gained world wide renown for its industrial growth and its wealth is amaz­ ing. But this superior commercial position has never detracted from its desirability ns a city of homes. The new home sections that are rapidly developing are even more attractive than the districts on which its fame as a home-town were built. Every facility for the convenience and recreation of its citizens of the great near-future is cither now under way or being planned. Great spaces now sparsely setled will soon be fully developed residential sections. Prosperity will come to those who invest now in these home sites.

I The Safest Rule Get the Facts First! It there a man or woman in thia community who at some time or other during the year has not listened tt> the persuasive promises of the stock salesman who cannot possibly have a proposition as good as he describes?

Because the working people of America didn’t obey that rule, they lost more than a Thousand Million of dollars in worthless stock schemes last year. 1 as we rode alor the MlMlaqppl -imong the hills the hills with one street nearly a mile long, aad the take in the Mississippi anrae as the Thornapple ia the 'Hiorn-^ apple river and not much wider, but I should judge about tea miles long. v We came at thia time to be at the graduation of three granddaughters from high school, May 29th, whieh of course made us feel quite proud of them an they performed their parts on the evenifig program, and the many words of congratulation wo receivetl from many of their friends for being the grandparents of three such gifted girla.

Profit and Service In a recent article on economics in "The Nation’s Business,'* Foster and Catchings, say: "Profit-making waa maintained and developed by American statesmen and legislators, with the approval of economists, because these men believed that profit-making by manufacturers, traders and financiers was the moat effective way of increasing national wealth." The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) be­ lieves only in profits which accrue from service., This Company is in business to serve it* pa­ trons, and tlirough this service to earn an ade­ quate profit (or tlie stockholders whose money has made the industry possible. Profit is the nfe-blood of industry, but the profit taken must be an exact return for the service rendered. Profiteering is abhorrent lo the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The Standard Oil Company (^Indiana) in serving gasoline and oils is rendering a funda­ mental service, not only to immediate patrons, but to everyone In tne Middle West. The progress of tne community depend* upon these products. Without Them, farmers could not produce sufficient food-stuffs, nor could indus­ try produce sufficient clothing, shelter, light, heat and other necessitim of life. The ‘ ** can ‘ "be f effort an orraniza,ho know their jobs from the ground up, and who think of these jobs primarily as a service. These men are expert*. No matter what de­ mand may be made upon them, in the line of their work, they are equal to the emergency. Such a body of employes, organized under expert direction, such as obtains in this Com­ pany, is-a valuable asset to the community. While man is constituted as he ia today, the incentive to action will always be a reward of some sort. And profit, when it is the result of honest, useful service, undertaken for a fair and agreed return, is the most powerful in­ centive. Tlie Standard Off Company (Indiana) to the last man, is in business first and foremost to render service. It is to the interest of this Company to sell gasoline and oils as cheaply as possible, that they may be within reach of all.

Many of them, I know, are far larger than Michigan Business and Normal College. But mere big­ ness does not count half so much a* quality. And 1 have often heard Mr. Argubright say he would rather have a comparatively small school — a school m which he would have an op­ portunity to select his' student*-care­ fully and give them each close, person­ al, individual instruction — than to have a great institution in which each student would be merely one of a large “There are schools with shorter courses—schools which make an ap­ peal to young men and young women who, eager to become earners, do not look into the future and’see that • short, easy course can fit them only for the shorterapay, easier-held, roq? tine office jobs. These schools, eager for business—and because they do not have higher-grade courses to offegg—. • do not take the-trouble to point out this fa^t lo young people find their parepts. Often they da not awaken to it until they have spent several months in schook-ypaid over hard-eained dol­ lars in tuition—and gone forth into tha business world to accept positions. "Then, when they compare the po­ sition* to which they are sent with those into which Mr. Argubright’* graduate* step; when they compare their starting .salaries, with those of M. B. & N. C. graduates; when they stand still while M. B. & N. G gradu­ ates get ahead—they come to a full realization that it would have paid them wonderfully well to have attend­ ed M. B. & N. G, even though it might have required a few month* more of ’ their time and a few dollar* more-of their money. "The FIRST COST of a Michigan Business and? Normal College train­ ing may be more than that of ordinary training. From experience I know it ha* every right to cost a great deal more—that it would be cheap at five times the coat of ordinary training. But my experience ha* also taught-me that in the long run ORDINARY TRAINING CAN BE A HUNDRED TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE than the type of training Mr. Argubright is de­ livering at hl* splendid school. I’ll tell you why. “There are young men in this organ­ ization who came with it before I did. They are graduate* of three or four other business schools in Michigan and adjacent state*. They joined us as stenographer* and bookkeepers. Af­ ter five year* they are still stenogra­ phers and bookkeepers tor clerical helpers, drawing but little better pay thato they did at the stfurt. They are faithful workers—-do their routine work in splendid shape—but they dop’t have the training or the initia­ tive they need to get out of the rut into which they have fallen. “Just out of Michigan Business and Normal College, 1 stepped into a Sec­ retarial position—at the right hand of President and Biulnes* Manager Michigan Business and Noraul College Michigan's Leading Business Training School for Forty-three Tears Dear Mr. Argubright: ' . my “honest opinion of M.

Today my salary is almost three times what it was when I started. And Urn hoping it will be more before long. The possibilities are here and I am right in line for promo­ tion. “In five years I have earned $6,000.­ 00 more than any one of these other young men. Did it pay me to spend a few more qionths and a few more dol­ lars in getting Michigan Business.and Normal College training? The figures speak for themMslves.” have attempted to.do so in have my permission to publish it in full, but under no consideration should my name "appear; To tell my story Hiave had to “toot my own horn” to prove one of my biggest points. And while the ar­ ticle is gospel trulh, I don't wish to get a reputation for being “stuck on my­ self.” . Signed by the writer of the story in this announce­ ment Like this young-man, Michigan Business and Normal College is not greatly given to “toot* ing its own hofn.” Nevertheless, this letter, coming from a graduate—one who knows from experience the advantages such thorough training can give—touched upon ho many of the things which are the very heart and soul of M. B. & N. C. principles, we could not reabt the temptation to print it. > M. B. & N. C. could very easily be a “shorUcourse" school. It has the equipment and the facilities to train young people for ordinary business “jobs” even more quickly than the average "short-course” school. But Mr. Argubright has no desire merely to place his students in just any kind of position. He wants them' to train for the best positions. It takes more than ordinary training to fit them for these places. It’s the "difference”—the thoroughness—the broad scone—of his courses which has made an Argubright training synonymous with higher salaries and sqccess. * • • Th» Enrollment In All Dopartmente of the School le Limited UNIVERSAL GARAGE CO Phone 2121 : Hastings, Mich.

Tbe Cement Manufacturers Association and Um Maple Mooring Manufacturer* Aesoelatioa had been tried in the lower federal court* and had txen adjudged guilty of violation of thi Sherman Aati-Trast l»w. Heavy fines have been imposed and tbe associa­ tion* were ordered to disband. For, federal rourts, they had been branded a* “eomhination* in restraint of trade*', which are e»pre»4y forbidden by the Sherman Aatl-Trust law. Tho Supreme Court in it* decision last week reversed the decision of the lower court*. A dissenting opinion was &'ea by Justice MeReynolds in which iaf Justice Taft and oaejlhcr justice concurred. The highest court held that these associations had not violated the • Aatl-Trust law and were not combine­ ’ tions in restraint of trade. In thi* opinion rix justice* concurred. It appeared from the evidence that th* members of both associations had exchanged data with caeh other which V ■ .V — L..I • I.. .n— f\9 • conclusively proved thnt they were •ombiaatioas in restraint of trade. But tbe court of last resort holds that thi* was not proof of illegal actions aad held Chat there could be an association ia whieh the member* could exchange information a* to the amount of their products, whieh they held in stock, also could exchange data as to the cost of production of the articles they made aad also aa to freight rate* aad other information material to.them without violation of the Anti-Trust law.

REXALL Druggists MICHIGAN HASTINGS Are You Anxious to Succeed? GRADUATION-THEN WHAT? You have reached a turning (>oint in life’s path—you’re at the fork of the.road, undecided which path to take. 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 planqing your future. 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 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 tq them, then after a short time they * Realize-Frror . 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. If Your ♦Buildings Are Wiped Out Tomorrow By Windstorm Can You Replace Them This Company haspaid losses amounting^) $2,144^)87.44 during the 40 years since its organization.

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.

A THRILLING DRAMA OF THE WEST- TRIGGER FINGERS COMEDY—“THE HAYSEED’ OUT FOR THE FOURTH? OR JUST GOING CAMPING OR FISHING? Anyhow you want “good cigars" or perhaps a good pipe and to­ bacco. If there is ever a time when you really enjoy a good smoke it is when you are are out on a little vacation. You forget the cares of.life, and submerge yourself in the joys of out-door living. Come here and get your Cigars and Tobaccos and YOU will agree with us that it MAKES A GREAT DIFFERENCE HOW THEY ARE KEPT. If Cigars and Tobaccns an? kept where there is NO MOISTURE they will become just like so much tinder. If thev are kept where there is TOO MUCH MOISTURE they become DAMP and SOGGY.

Grand RapicUMick An Important Change in Policy TUDEBAKER herewith announces the discontinuance of the custom of presenting a new line of automobiles each year. Instead of bringing Stude­ baker Cars dramatically up-to-date once in twelve months, we up'tO'date all of the time—with shall keep them every improvement and refinement made avail­ able by our great engineering and manufacturing resources* This policy not only directly benefits present Studebaker owners, but it also enables purchasers of new cars to obtain models that are always modem—without annual changes, and repair man pays more for Rusco than for other brands of lining but he doesn't charge you more. Your he will make bis future home. the necessity of waiting for without the danger of their new cars becoming obsolete. 'K of this new policy is an amazing story—of interest to ani everyone who^owns or expects to own an automobile. The dramatic success of tho present line of Studebaker Car# ,i»kpne reason for,- this impor-—rv>-J,,or>rv^ linnrli wc keep breaking records — sales keep piling up. This year we will sell almost four times as many automobiles as wc produced in the big boom year which"followed the war. << Owners report endurance records, even beyond qur greatest expectations. Out in the rugged moun­ tain regions where Studebaker sells four times its normal proportion of cars, owners talk about these models in the most extravagant terms. In 1924 the Corporation's sale of repair parts dropped to $10 per car per year. Mechanical stamina under severe usage — remarkable performance under the most difficult travel conditions—these tire the qualities for which Studebaker Cars haw lung been noted. Surely these significant facts prove beyond any shadow of doubt that Studebaker Cars are so soundly engineered and manufactured and so eminently satisfactory in the hands of owners, that drastic annual changes tare not required. time to time. New features will be added. When ■ our engineering department (maintained at a cost an improvement in any model, it will be made without regard to the calendar. As in the past, wajhall continue to pioneer vital betterments that have proved their merit through practical use. Alert, aggressive, receptive to new ideas, resourceful in executing them, guided by scientific research and spurred by imagination, the Studebaker organization proposes to build better motor cars than ever before. Now you may buy a Studebaker on any day of the year with the confident assurance that the sturdy, thrifty, one-profit car you drive away will not be stigmatized by any act of ours as a “Ia*t year’s model.” Today, in even more generous measure than in the past, Studebaker Cars offer the utmost.value for the money. THE STUDEBAKER CORPORATION OF AMERICA, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA ■City were guests of Mrs. Sullivan'* par­ ents, Mr. nnd Mr* Jas. Hullibergcr a couple af day* last week. The business men of Freeport enter­ tained with free moving picture* on the street last Tuesday evening and will continue to do so each .Tuesday evening until further notiec.

For severaEyears past, the Merchant^,.Manufacturers and Professional Men of Hastings have been pifasecTfb* entertain tne residents of Barry County at an annual all-day picnic at the fairground in this city. The idea has always been and still is, to become better acquainted and forget business in the enjoyment of pleasant associations. ' ' But during the Summer months, farmers and employees in factories are especially busy, and these annual picnics have been held at a time thatrmany are actively engaged, and they had to give up a whole day to take advant­ age of it ’ i For this reason, it has been deemed best this year to discontinue the An‘ nual Picnic, and provide.enjoyment and entertainment on the "installment plan,” so that everyone could enjoy it, and not be compelled to lose any time on account of it. People do their trading quite generally on Wednesday and Saturday evenings, and come to town anyway on those evenings, even dur\ ing the busy season. „ . Recognizing this fact, Merchants, Manufacturers and Professional Men of Hastings have decided to try out the plan of putting on a good entertain­ ing program EACH WEDNESDAY EVENING e ■ । . . i commencing Wednesday EVENING, JULY 8th and continue it each Wednesday evening for the following SEVEN WEEKS —OR EIGHT ENTERTAINMENTS'all told. The first entertainment will be on Wednesday evening, July 8th, com­ mencing at 7 o'clock, fast time. On this evening there will be a fine Band Concert by the Boy Scout Band, assisted by members of the Hastings City Band. Besides tfiis it is expected that there will be some exceptionally entertain­ ing numbers of various kinds, but as definite arrangements have hot yet been concluded, they will not be mentioned at this time. But it will be some­ thing good and you will want to hear it. ■, For the following SEVEN Wednesday evenings beginning July 15th, -prizes to the amount of $350 will be given to the lucky ones in 21’ cash prizes—or $50 in cash each Wednesday evening, three prizes of $25, $15 and $ 10. In addition there will be other prizes awarded.

Free of Charge In Hastings In order to become better acquainted, and to break the routine of ordi­ nary every-day affairs, the Merchants, Manufacturersand Professional *Men of Hastings, have been giving an Annual Picnic to the people of Barry Co. These occasions have been very pleasant and enjoyable, but they came right at a time when farmers and the employees of factories were very busy, and all who attended had to give up a whole day for these picnics. Because of this fact a great many have been unable to attend. The idea always has been, and still is, to provide amusement and enter­ tainment for everyone, so that ALL. could eqjoy it. With this thought in mind, the idea of having an annual picnic as usual was given up, ana in its place has been substituted FREE ENTERTAINMENTS on Wednesday evening of each .week for EIGHT WEEKS, commencing Wednesday eve- • ning, July 8th. % . The Committees having the matter in charge figured that EVERYONE could attend these Free Wednesday Evening Entertainments without having to lose a minute’s time because they come AFTER the day’s work is done. These entertainments, as proposed, will consist of Band Concerts Singing . Vaudeville Dancing AND ATTRACTIONS OF DIFFERENT KINDS The Programs will be changed every Wednesday night, apd will consist of numbers that will be just as good as the Committees can secure. Programs have not been completed, so it will be impossible to state in advance just what they will be—only that they will be GOOD, and well worth your-^t- - tending. I . It is planned that all entertainments will be held on a platform, erected at the north side of the Court House, so that everyone can easily see and hear. Programs will„start at 7 o’clock, fast time. Small bills and placards in business places will call your attention to an . added feature that will well make it worth your while. Read these bills care­ fully and plan to attend every Wednesday evening concert, every one of which is designed to add to your enjoyment and as a substitute for the usual annual picnic. . '. • ~ We cordially invite everyone in Barry County to attend,, ahd trudt that all will derive as much enjoyment in attending as we have, had in helping u. . plan for your entertainment.

This statement from the young race driver, who purchased a Buick a week after he wheeled his car to victory at Indianapolis and broke the record of that famous Speedway, sums up the nation-wide opinion of Buick. For, just as DePaolo recognizes the superiority of valvc-in-hcad engines for the race track and per­ sonal use, so too have more thun a million every­ day motorists recognized the dependability and performance of Buick and the Valve-in-Hcad type of engine upon which Buick has concentrated for 21 years. De Paolo bought a new Buick with the motor car expert’s discriminating eye for performance, for dependability and genuine value. And his pur­ chase is further evidence of the regard in which Buick is so universally held. . DR. E. J. PRATT Start today to save for the college education of your children.

HARDWARE CO. - Barry County’s Biggest Bardware Hastings, Michigan <► Gasoline for 20% to 30% More Motors Collier’s Weekly quotes Herbert Hoover u saying: ’There ia room for 20% to 30% increase in the standards of living today." Increased living standards mean more autoOil Company (Indiana) to serve society. It is estimated that today more than 88 million Americans enjoy the use of the 17M million automobiles now in service. \ In view of this statement and its applica­ tion, it is obvious that the petroleum in­ dustry as a whole and the Standard OU Company (Indiana) as one of the outstand­ ing units of this industry in particular, will be called upon to render to society a vastly greater service than they have been called upon to render in the past. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) be­ lieves that one of the fundamentals of its service is to decrease the cost of manufac­ turing and distributing petroleum products by the rigid elimination of waste; to increase the percentage of oil products, especially gasoline, derived from crude petroleum. Only through such service will it be possible to stretch the supply of crude oU to meet the demand for gasoline. Mr. Hoover says: “That a general higher buying power can be created by paring down the losses in production and dis­ tribution.” It is such thrifty, far-sighted ‘‘paring down" of waste that enables the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ‘to keen its service sta­ tions and tank wagons delivering gasoline and oils to you at prices so low that all can enjoy their use. ■ These low prices have been an important factor in helping to increase the living standards of the American working man, enabling him to ride to work in motor cars and raise his family in the suburbs where rents are lower and conditions more healthful.

An obicuro school teacher in the little town of Dayton, Tennessee, I* to bo tried for violating tho state taw which forbid* teaching of evolution in public achool* or in publicly *urax>rted institution* of that »tnte. In trie Don Quixote stylo Bryan ha* rushed to the aid of the persecutor in thi* ease, evidently fear­ ing that if be doc»n’t come to tbe rcaeue civilization will perish. _ LU ta.it ftU about I If evolution*i« true Mr. Bryan can't slop it. If it isn’t true, it will kill itself. There aro many thing* thnt support tho view of the cvolntioni*t*,and some consider­ ations thnt do not. But there is noth­ ing about the situation that warrant* Mr. Bryan in rashing into thi* ease In the manner in which ho ha*. He ha* recently said “This is a duel to the •leath between evolution and Christian­ ity.’* We should be very taorry indeed for Christianity if it* truth depended upon whether evolution is true or not. Christianity ha* been defined a* “the life of God in the soul of a man.” How a man came to bo here i* not materiel. Tho faet is thgt bo i* hero, and tbe faet I* that Christ han demon­ strated unquestionably that Ho wa* in nil thing* ltd by the very Spirit of God; and'ata. ' S/.ril-ean aad doe* eomo into the soul of a- man. That Spirit eould and did save Him from all wrong and even from death itself. Christianity does pot depend upon any theory with regard tq the origin of speeicj, and will remain just as true whether Mr. Scope* is convicted or no­ quitted by the jury. For Mr. Bryan to get hysterical about the matter and declare thi* Scope* trial “a duel to the death between evolution nnd Christian­ ity'* seem* to us a pipe* of folly. Some of the finest spirited and moat loyal Christian* believe in the doctrine of •volution. Other* equally .inccre and equally true deny that there is any truth in evolution. But tho Christian religion ia not affected by cither one of them. Christ will continue to be “Th* Way, th* Truth, and tho Light” in ^>ite of What Mr. Bryan may say about evoluUqz oe crt4:3at any reference, to. tho outcome of tho Scopes trial. Christ is a living diVisa Power In the world and will remain so without regnrd to what Mr. Bryan think* or believes about the, doctrine “of evolu­ tion. MIDDLEVILLE.

Mr. Ham» wa» a former Has­ ting* boy and this ia hia first viait hero entious 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 very warm days of summer are often most' trying as the more or less lax methods used in cool weather’ard apt to be con­ ' tinned to some extent, and a can or more of returned milk possibly result; which is an unnecessary loss to t£pJ;urvjuan as wel| as the manufacturer. , . . . The United States Department of Agriculture recent­ ly issued a statement to the effect that thousands of dollars are lost by dairymen because of losses incurred through milk returned and because of inferior manu­ factured product due to a loWgrade of raw milk. A dariyman 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 terming to­ wards a higher price for tLs/aw prudkU*.. WHY MILK SHOULD BE COOLED Bacteria grow and multiply much more slowly in cold than in warm milk. When drawn from the cow milk has a temperature a little above 90 degrees F.» a temperature at which bacteria grow very rapidly. perature of about 85 degrees F. in a small tank (hold­ ing possibly no more than two or three times as much water as there is milk to cool), with water at a temper­ ature of 55 degrees F. to GO degrees F. 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 practice because it shortens the time that milk is exposed to the air of the bam. Since, in gen­ eral, bacteria multiply more slowly as the temperature is lowered, the more rapid the drop in temperature the less time for their multiplication and growth. With this equipment it is impossible to cool the milk to much less than 70 degrees F., and milk at 70 de­ grees 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. While cleanliness is the first essential in the produc­ tion of milk, prompt cooling and; storage at low tem­ peratures are the niost important factors in preventing souring. For best results, then, milk should- be cooled immediately after milking and kept at a temperature low enough to check the growth of bacteria. An adequate supply of cold water is essential for proper handling of milk. If a dairyman is fortunate . enough to have a supply of ice for this purpose his trou­ bles are greatly lessened. Many dairymen make th4 mistake of placing one or more cans of milk at a tetn- All milk should be cooled and held at 60 degrees F. or colder if possible. Morning’s milk should receive careful attention for if it is placed on the milk stand or on the hauler’s wa­ gon at a temperature of 70 degrees F. to 80 degrees F., it will very probably be partly spoiled or develop a bad flavor before it reaches the factory. Morning’s milk should be cooled to at least 60 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 auy dairyman if it is properly-used.

In recent years this Company has anticipated progress by being among the first to introduce ’'employe ownership of stock in the Company." Today, more than 15,000 employes are stock­ holders. To enable its employes to participate to the greatest extent possible, the Standard Oil —Company (Indiana) adds 50c to every f 1.00 that an employe invests in stock in the Company. Theresult of this far-sighted' policy has been to create a better feeling among the employes and to promote a spirit of enthusiasm. Today, every employe-stockholder takes great pride m the fact that he is a partner in thetnisiness and that as he shares in tbe profits so must be assume his share of the responsibility. It is such spirit and consequent interest in the daily task'th at d&f&pChe Individual man and fits the office boy for the clerkship; the clerk for the executive position, and the ex­ ecutive for the JJoard of Directors.

Michigan crop prospects continued to decline during June,.with the exception of grapes which maintained tho June 1 condition figure.

Whitney Witkin*, Commissioner of Agriculture and Verne H. Church, U. B." Agricul­ tural Statistician. General rains in northern Michigan aad local showers in other sections were beneficial, but they fume too Into to materially help grain, hay nnd pastures except in a few north­ ern counties. The drought over mueh of Ixiwcr Michigan on July 1 waa tbe severest in more thun thirty year*. Corn: The. aerenge remains the sam^ na thnt of last year, 1,686,060. While n slightly larger acreage was intended, adverse weather conditions and poor germination in late planted fields offset tho increase. Early planted fields on good soil* aro showing good standi, excellent color, and a noriqal growth. Tho condition of R1 per eent is four Cr cent below normed arid ten per cent tter than ono year ago. This outiooh, if followed by average weather to the end of the season, -would result in n pro­ duction of 53,261,000 bushels, nearly ton millions more than the 1924 erop. Wheat: Winter wheat lost tan point* in condition during the month, the per­ centage l>cing 65 equivalent to a pro­ duction of 12,579,000 bushel* ns com­ pared -with 19JI88,000 lost year.

Eight people were in Ulis houae at the time of tho storm and all were Injured, an 18-year-old daughter dying as a result. Our Officers and Directors Are Now Making Adjustment and Paying Losses So That Those Whose Buildings Were Destroyed Can Rebuild or Repair at Once. - The Size and Financial Strength of this Company makes this possible. Just think of what , it means to you—if you are .insured with this Company and meet with a loss by windstorm. We are in position to make an adjustment in a few days and pay you money for your ' loss, so your buildings can be replaced or repaired immediately. A cyclone visited Barry County Oct. 1st, 1880, doing $100,000 damage, and another'in 1882, causing serious damage, but not quite so great. The losses at this time were mostly to farm buildings. There was no insurance company to pay the losses. Attention was thus called to the need of mutual protection and so this company was conceived and organized. Thia company is in the best possible position to not only give you the best kind of insur­ ance, but make prompt adjustments and pay all losses at once—just as it is doing today everywhere in Michigan.’ It is interesting to know that during the greats San Francisco earthquake and fire that the MUTUAL Companies were the only ones which “came through” promptly and paid their losses in full. Other types of companies, with very few exceptions, failed to pay, most of them going into the hands of receivers. This fact shows the strength of the MUTUAL PLAN. During these later years severe cyclones have become more frequent, year by year, wreak­ ing vengeance and destroying thousands of dollars worth of property. Since that date, 40 years ago, its growth, has been steady, until If you are not amply protected by a policy in this successful company you should have one of our representatives call at once and write you a policy for full coverage of your buildings and destructable property. < Today It Is Backed By Well Toward $300,000,000 Insurance In Force Which Is All Assessable Capital AND With Ample Cash Resources On Hand With Which to Pay Losses. . Many policies were written a few years ago which may have covered the property value at the*time,.but which do not fully cover now, because of increased values, and because of improvements which may have been made. In such case new policies should be written to cover the full present day values, and thus secure you against loss in case a severe wind­ storm does visit you. * If you do* not know who our representative is in your locality write the home office and z-your desires will be attended to.

Baeehler and THE PRICE OF SUCCESS by C. J. ARGUBRIGHT IONIA FREE Gull lake 1 mnzoo 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 anqther. 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 snort, get-rich-quick road to success, or they accept the advice of someone who is incompetent to advise them.

We heard a great deal of comment upon that interview, nil of whieh wu favorable to the propoattion* suggested by Mr. Davi*. He pro­ posed a smaller governing body, with a representative from each ward and one for the eity at large, the t0 bo the mayor and to have a right to vote, and thnt thia body of men eonld alw) be the supervisors of the wards, which would give the city the repre­ sentation it 1* entitled to on tho board of supervisor* Because they would be expected to give rnueh more time and attention to city affaire, they could be paid a salary that would really make it worth their time. Such a body of mon could no doubt save tho tax payers many time* their salarie*. We remembor that Mr. Davis’ *ug gestion was that^thi* governing body be given authority to employ the men needed to do tho elty'e work. They would also be elected for a longer period than now, but subject to recall Boose.

They found »otno moonshine which ho had pttrehnood to mix with the beverages ho had made. Mr. War dell was brought before Jurtieo Seldon nnd gave bonds in the sum of $500 for his appearance at tho September term of circuit court. Ho says ha will plead guilty to tho charge. It looks as if that would be wise because the sheriff Mri^Wardoll owns 200 acres of good land, has a fine herd of stock and oth­ er property and is well-to-do. Why on earth ho should get into aueh disreput­ able business a* this is hard to under tand. Ho claims that he has only been at it for a short time, but the sheriff able allowance. Our prime purpose now In referring to this matter i* to mention another recommendation made by Mr. Davis at that time, whieh we bellve la especially worthy of consideration right now. He suggested that the bonding limit for street work be raised from where it now I* at the sum of $45,000 to the up to Coats Grove nnd pul the ditched sum of $100,000.

Without one single exception, 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. wn SAVING MONEY la not an eaiy 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. Buick, has built 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?

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 ALT, started in by SAVING. That’s the first necessary step towards “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.

SAVE THE CHILD Your first thought should be Employes of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), who have taken advantage of the Company’s Stock Purchasing Han in 1925, will get their stock at $62.00 per share, regard­ less of what the price may be during the remainder of the year. This is the average market price foj months’ period ending March 31‘, 1925. In reality. Standard Oil employes Ret their stock at $-11.33 per share, as the Company adds, as a gift, 50c. to every dpllar invested by the employe. Regarding the Standard Oil Company (Indi­ ana) Stock Purchasing Plan, MrJD. A. Mather, in the Chicago Tribune, says; r .. ■ "Behind this lies a story of relations to employes almost unique in American industry. "Four years ago the Standard Oil direc­ tors translated into action their belief that employes'would be more efficient and loyal if they were stockholders and also that theyjshould.be permitted to share the profits. While this was not a new idea, the plan worked out by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was somewhat of a departure from custom. "The directors announced a five year stock acquisition plan whereby em­ ployes might subscribe for stock to the extent of one-fifth of their annual salaries. This constituted a partial payment plan. But aa an additional in­ centive and reward the directors stated that for every dollar put in by an em­ ploye the company would add 50 cents. As the price of the stock each year is based on the average market price for a preceding period, the company, in effect, is selling stock to its employes at two-thirds of its market value.” The result of making the employe ownership of stock attractive has-been to promote har­ mony, encourage industrious efficiency and to harbor contentment among the employes; in short, to instill and nourish the spirit of service, • which reacts to -the distinct benefit of the patrons of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in the ten Middle Western states where the Company is straining every nerve and fibre to serve thirty million people with petroleum products of high quality, when and where they need them.

With hundreds of schools finding it more or less difficult , to place their graduates immediatlcy, Michigan Business and Normal College continues to have far more calls for its graduates than can be filled. . ' Employers from far and near look to this different business train- jng school for young people to fill their more responsible positions—the . positions front which they develop their executives. They know that when Mr. Argubright places his stamp of approval upon a young woman or man, he or she is worthy of the highest triTst. The limited enrollment at M. B. & N.

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. Practically the same thing happened to James Pyle's well known "Pearl inn.” Back only 20 y< are ago a fund of a half million dollar* n year was 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 towards “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.

Newton Plummer, in “The National Financial News.” o <> Z 0 Mr. Plufomer says, “which now ranks with the leading industri >s in America, totaling over one billion dollars.' “Legitimate sold- in 1923 aggregated $3,265,400,000. Fhe itimate new security offerings soli billion dollars ,liars that went into the sewers of American finance last year totaled near ne y a third of thi country's entire investments in established industries. It was practical y a third of the money spent on new building which totaled $3,046,875,000. Money st ent on iron and steel products was only two and a half times what was wasted on wild-cat securtities. "Compared with the $2,252,000,000 spent by. Americans for motor cars in 19)13, which-was the banner year in the automobile business, the billion dollars collected by fake stock peddlers would have purchased about 2,000,000 tnore 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 y®**” L.' ■ ■" ■ ' .; A f Ralph J.

Mich.. te' Greatest of All Essex Years Because ■The Greatest of All Essex Values Delivered Price $855 The main issue with Essex has always been to give greatest value for the money. Its fulfillment of that aim was never so clear and its sales supremacy so completely ac­ knowledged as today. With Hudson, it outsells every other line of 6-cylinder cars. Essex is built on the super-Six principle by Hudson workmen, in Hudson shops. No other maker shares its advantage. Inqual­ ity, Hudson and Essex are alike. Both are easy riding and easy steering. Their un­ failing reliability and economy are known everywhere. Economies possible only to the largest pro­ duction of 6-cyHnder cars, and the exper­ ience of four years’ concentration on closed cars have resulted in the best cars and low­ est prices in Essex history. And their conspicuous and increasing suc­ cess reflects the rapidity and completeness with which the real facts regarding auto­ mobile values have penetrated the entire market. '300 ’300 Hudson-Essex World’s Largest Selling 6-Cylinder Cars ASK ANY DRIVER OF AN ESSEX CAR AND HE WILL TELL YOU HOW WELL IT PERFORMS IF YOU WANT A NEW CAR AND HAVE ANYTHING TO TRADE BE SURE AND SEE US.

THE POIN’rS TO NOTE WHEN BUYING YOUR WINTER COAT AMONG THE NEW STYLES FABRICS. FURS and COLORS Flarei are the latest expresiion given the silhouette. There is the coat with •et-in panels, with godeti, with circular gores, all of which bring a fullness to the coat, either slight or quite pronounced. Some coats have the fuller back with the flare starting from'the shoulder. Fabrics are either of the new short napped type called needlepoint or pin­ point, of the longer napped type, or of the >u4de*lika variety. Some short haired fun and many long haired ones are used, for the choker or double collars, for cuft or sleeve trim­ mings and in interesting spots on the body of the coat. In colon, the purple-shades are the very newest—queen-bird, grape, plum. Black is very good, deep reds and browns. Sleeves are narrow and quite close fitting at the wrist. : PENCIL BLUE EABT DELTON. mont* and took picture* of the field Narrow stand-up collars accompanied Mr. find Mrs. Chartey Beek of Gales­ and haa visited n* since that time and by wide reveres of the cloth ere very SARABAND secured pictures of various stage* up to burg and Mr. and Mra.

S VALUES < The Price of a Coat depends upon the costs of its cloth, its trimmings, the fluctuation of t Fashion and workmanship There have been seasons when Fashion’s demands were extravagant and other seasons when Fashion was simplicity itself. The first CQrtly; the latter not at all.. The wool crop, the cotton crop, the silk yield, the fur catch, all affect the price of materials, linings and trim- jnings. Yet, whatever the market conditions, or the vagarites of Fashion, the ruling prices of the day are the best values obtainable by manufacturer, by merchant retailer or by ultimate purchaser. Please understand—and we want to rtfake it as emphatic as can be—that the values offered here are as fine as may be found anywhere in all the coun­ try and, we are very sure, quite matchless in Hastings. We offer a very good selection of inexpensive coats at from —n—O and of coats of better materials at from and of finer coats, up to the very finest, at $60 to $119 and in every case the workmanship—regardless of price—is good beyond question.

But the average cow in Michigan produces only 3,965 lbs. of milk, and here’* the reason:— ' - One third of all the dairy cows in the state ~of Michigan losing money third making up for what the first third lost—the other third is making money for the owner. Example of How It Works * 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 tbe end of a year Mr. Blank draws a blank. / Gef Rid of the First Third of Money Losing Cows and Michigan farmers'will commence to reap a profit from their Dairy Herd* now farmers don't need more cows Cows of Michigan were purebred and belonged to the last third above mention­ ed the average milk yield in the statf would doubtless be more than doubled and : HEKMANS Coo*,e-Ca*« -- - ■ ■ but BETTER cows.

We’ve made selection easy and safe for everydayer—we’ve adopted the Studebaker Pledge to the Public on Used Car Sales. Nothing but fair and square dealing is possible under this pledge which hangs in our showroom. It offers four great advantages to the used car buyer: 1. We tell you frankly all the facts about any used car—its age, mileageand mechanical condition as far as we know them. If the car needs a mechanic to keep it in condition, we say so without misrepresentation. Each cards sold for just what it is. 2. We mark the price plainly on each car. "One price—the market! price—the same price to all” is our policy. The price is based upon the car’s unused mileage. We will not dicker or match wits. 3. tVe allow five days’ trial on any used car—five days in which the purchaser can put it to any test, and then, if not satisfied, return it and apply the money paid as a credit on the purchase of any other car in stock—new or used. e 4. We give thirty days’ guarantee to replace all defective parts and make free adjustments on all Studebaker Certified Used Cars. This is because of the tremendous reserve mileage built into every Studebaker. And .because every certified Studebaker is thoroughly reconditioned. You can thus buy a used car from us as safely as you buy a new car or any standard merchandise. Come in today and look over our selection. We have several exceptional values. tain the Young People’■ Cla»« of Bun nell Bunday School next Saturday eve­ ning. w Bunnell school will open this week Monday with Mtae- Martin a« tiiacher.

Unques­ tionably tho low ebb of dty govoramojrt waa marked at thi* time, when wcnkMt spot in our American tyog government was that of our , ra citloa. The saner and hotter development of Amerienn eitie* has occurred within tho period covered from 1900 until the preaent time. The diaaator which deotroyod thousand* of lives nnd million* of dol­ lar* worth of property it\ GalveMon led to the formation of a government by a commission, which wa* at fir*: chosen bv the governor of Texas end later by the voter* of Galveston. ’Thia became known a» the “Galveston Plan.” It was a oueec**, nod it* efficiency and economy were so pronounced that many other eitica followml that plan. In Deo Moines, Town, n new feature wa* added to the commission form of government, namclv a “Citv Manager” wife, under the direction bf tho eity eommiarion, really became what tho name implies, n manager of eity business. Dea Moines also adopted the referendum andAeeall as n part of it* municipal government, so that if the work of ita commim|oo or any commlasiotier wire unsatisfactory the voter* could remove, him withoot serious difficulty. Still further improvement on thia plan waa made at Dayton, Ohio, follow­ ing the Dayton flood disaster. At the present time the commission form of government obtain* in about 400 American cities. The yery. largest one* have not a* yet adopted it. Under this plan partisan politic* are elimin­ ated, ’Civil Service fule* or the merit system are applied, andxcommia»ionera are chosen prith a view to securing the ablest and most capable m?n, paying them salaries thnt will give the city command of their entire lime and serv­ ice so that they can devote thomaelyM to the problems o( the eity.

But, as it is a policy of this Company to acquaint the public with all sides of the gaso­ line question, we point out the underlying rea­ sons for the recent decline in prices. For the third time in as many years, the late summer has seen a flush production of crude oil. These new sources of crude have come in, and been converted into gasoline, at a time when refiners expected to move the gasoline stocks in storage to meet the heavy demands of the summer motoring season. Much of this exce&f gasoline was produced in California and is being shipped at distress prices to the Atlantic seaboard via the Panama Canal at a transportation cost less than that of ship­ ping by rail from Oklahoma. Kansas and Texas. The Eastern buyers of California gasoline have extended their trading area westward and crowded in on the normal market of the refiners of the Middle West. Many refiners operating on borrowed capital were forced to sell their stock of gasoline at whatever prices they could get, to meet the loans as they came due. The net result of this condition is that refiners throughout the Middle West are selling their gasoline stocks for less money than the actual cost of production. Today the petroleum industry is facing a most serious crisis. The stronger companies will survive; the weaker ones may be compelled to quit. We trust that the public will view the situa­ tion at its true worth and realize that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)—which oper­ ates 7 out of 590 refineries in the United States —is just as much a slave to the natural laws and the caprices of nature as is the refiner of small capacity. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is not in a position to throttle competition nor to contrql prices. We submit, in passing, that the sound-busi­ ness health of the Standard Oil Company (Indi­ ana) and its capacity to weather such a storm as exists now, is of vital interest to those whose welfare depends on an unfailing supply of petro­ leum products, whether nature frowns or smiles.

WhenYbuWani to Know ■l',i DEVOE MERIT OF P-C PRODUCTS PROVEN Thousands of satisfied users in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin prove that P-C Products give the results claimed for them by the P-C Manu­ facturing Company. 1 T Some of the Michigan users include the following: D. D. Aitkin Farm, E^sel Ford Farm, The Crapo Farm, The Holland-St. Louis Sugar Co., Mich. School for Deaf and Dumb, Monroe Nursery, Lakeside Vineyard Co. In every instance experience has proven that P-C Products do eradicate completely the noxious weeds and do till the soil into the very best condition for growing crops. -z Plans for 1925-26 We are now planning our campaign of Factory-to-User selling for next year. . This year with this kind of a sellin g plan P-C Products were sold in 40 1 Counties in Michigan and to a limited extent in Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin. Next year we plan tp market P-C Products in 300 Counties in six of the leading'agricultural states where every farmer is a prospect. More Capital Needed for This Expansion ' *We have the figures to prove that we have a profit making line in P-C Products.

And yet, there are a good many farmers in Michigan wjio are doing • almost that very thing. ’ . They Are Keeping Seven Cows That Produce No More Than One Cow Should! A certain Pure Bred cow near Hasting* showed a record of 2526 lbs. of milk in one month. ■ K ' The average Michigan cow produced about 4000 lbs. -of milk per year or about 333 lbs. per month.On This Basis it Would Take Over 7Vi Average Cows to Produce as Much as the Above Mentioned Pure Bred Cow ! Hence,'any farmer or dairyman who is keeping only average tows is practicaMy “Paying Seven Men to Do a One-Man Job !” They could just as easily keep cows that would produce well, and it is the high milk producer that makes the profit. ,x During the past (ew years an effort has been made by all the leading dairy interests to weed out the “Scrub”, the “Boarder”, the “Loafer”, the “Drone”—and the re­ sult has been a much higher grade of cattle in many sections of Michigan. .w f If you are interested in having better cows, heavier milk producers, we will be glad to give you the advantage of our experience.

Glenn Wright of Plano, III., representing the Yorkville Motor com­ pany, with his Fordson tractor and Oliver plow won in the manufactur­ ers’ class, with a score of 92 poihts. Farmer’s Class Walter Erickson of Naperville, Ill., driving a Fordson and Janes­ ville plow, won first honors and a silver cup in the farmers’ class, with a score of 92 1-2 points. First place was captured in tho only other event, the boys’ class, by Forrest George, 18 years old, scoring 83 1-2 points with a Fordson tractor'and Oliver plow. The victory of the Fordsons was well received by the 600 or 700 enthusiastic farmers who cheered the contestants, since by far the great majority of them were owners of that type of tractor. , Winning Factors .Fordson success was not a surprise to the practical farmers who witnessed this plowing contest Factors which gave the Fordson first honors in every class were, its flexibility, its short turning radius and ease of steering, on? wheel running in a furrow. This makes for better uniformity and straightness of furrows, both of which were points .con­ sidered in computing the scores. i We will be pleased to give a Fordson demonstration to any one who is interested.

The choir sang some niee selections and many beauti­ ful flowers were brought to be taken and placed on her grave.

It presents an extraordinary group of major features to be found in no other car in the Ajax price field which are sure to focus your immediate attention, Including 4-wheel brakes of special design ex­ clusive to Ajax and Nash; a six-cylinder motor that develops performance of un­ usual liveliness and superior smoothness throughout its entire range of speed and power; a 7-bearing crankshaft; force­ feed lubrication to all main bearings, connecting' rod bearings and cam-shaft bearings; and also, full balloon tires and five disc wheels, as standard equipment at no extra cost It is built in a great plant of its own, at Racine, Wisconsin, equipped througlf•ut with • ....................... ENGINE—L head. 3-inch bore and* 4inch .stroke. Combined fan and water pump. The fan and water pump are one unit driven by a belt from the gener­ ator. The water pump impeller operates in the cylinder casing. In case of freez­ ing the belt slips—the heat of the cyl­ inder wall, which is adjacent to the wa­ ter pump impeller, thaws- the water and allows the impeller to turn. PISTONS—Gast iron. 3 rings; 2 main and 1 oil regulating. ' VALVES—Cast iron heads and steel stems. Water completely around each valve sdat. Valve stems lubricated by oil thrown, from crankshaft. CONNECTING RODS—8*4 inches long, which is unusually long for this size of engine. This reduces piston thrust on cylinder walls and makes smoother performance. CAMSHAFT—Six bearings. BEARINGS—Bronze back; babbittlined main bearings; connecting rod bearings babbitt die-cfcst in rods. CRANKSHAFT — 7-beorMgj. 1%inch main bearings and 1 5-8-inch con­ necting rod bearings. The use of the 7bearing crankshaft makes the engine considerably shorter, allowing far more body-room. LUBRICATION—Force feed to all . main bearings and connecting rod bear­ ings and camshaft bearings. RADIATOR—Fin and tube type. Large frontal area. Nickel-plated shell. ' CARBURETOR—Plain tube carbure­ tor. Mixture passes through hot spot in exhaust manifold. Hot spot can be shut off for extremely hot weather. IGNITION — Aulom•tie spark ad- STARTING AND LIGHTING—Two unlt^yatom. AH of the precision-machine equip­ ment and tools were newly purchased solely for Ajax production. They are the finest known to the auto­ mobile world and they assure to evapr operation standardized accuracy within the closest limits. > So that in manufacturing practice as well as in body design, engineering, con­ struction, and performance, the Ajax Six can truthfully be usid to represent a. definite step forv/ard in the science of building moderate-priced motor cars. The bodies, swung extremely low to the road, are expressive of the highest art of body craftsmanship. They are finished in an attractive shade of Deep Gray-Green, in which the gray' tone is delightfully enlivened by the admixture of a lively green note, while the upper structure, fenders and running gear are held to a deep black. Encircling the entire body and extend­ ing forward along the hood on both sides to meet the radiator shell is a narrow body moulding. The Sedan has four broad doors and the deep upholstery is toned to harmon­ ize with the finish of the body. / Two body styles on the same chassis and with the same wheelbase are avail­ able, the Sedan and the Touring'modeI. CLUTCH—Single , plate. The clutch release bearing is a solid block of gra­ phite which never needs lubrication. TRANSMISSION—3 forward speeds and one reverse. Front main bearing Hy­ att. Rear main bearing annular ball beprin/. The transmission is provided with transmission lock. BRAKES—12-inch drums on all 4 wheels. Hard moulded lining 1%-inch wide. Front internal expanding. .Rear external contracting. EMERGENCY BRAKE—At rear of transmission. STEERING GEAR—Cam and lever type which makes for exceptionally light steering. .FRONT AXLE—Drop-forged steel Ibeam; reversed Elliot type. ■ REAR AXLE — Semi-floating type. Pressed'steel housing with removable malleable ifbn pinion and ring gear carDRIVE—Hotchkiss type. SPRINGS — Semi-elliptic front and rear. Springs, front 36 inches long.

A com­ pletely machined crankshaft-gives perfect engine balance and Reduces vibration to a minimum. ' Yet this Standard Six Coach sells for no more# than competing cars—its low price, is 425 Down made possible by the Studebaker policy of one-profit manufacture. There are only two cars manufactured on this one-profit basis. Studebaker in the fine car field, and the Ford in the low priced field.. Only in these two cases does one company in its own plants make all bodies, all engines, all clutches, steering gears, differentials, springs, gear sets, gray iron castings and drop forgings. This one-profit policy nbt only eliminates makers — but it also makes possible unitbuilt construction. All parts for Studebaker cars are designed, engineered and built as a unit And being built as a unit they function as a unit—which results in years longer life, scores of thousands of miles of excess trans­ portation; greater riding comfort, lower re­ pair costs and much higher resale value. But the only way to judge this Standard Six Coach is to see it—to actually sit behind the wheel and drive it through the thick of traffic, over the steepest hills and rough country roads. Then, and only then, can you completely appreciate its amazing power, ita velvet smoothness and wonderful riding qualities. Goodyear Bros. Hardware Co. HASTINGS, MICHIGAN people of Who are they?

Dr. Fosdiek 1* now touring Europe, bnt he la atill keeping in touch with affaire at home through article* published in ntagnper’* there is a flno article from his pen tho topic of "Religion a* An AMtura." t. Fosdiek, although a Baptist gyrnan and although the church of which he will bo tbe paetor is of that denomination, has given notie* that, '* under hi* pastorate, hia church must be an "inclusive church". By that he mean* that if any person professing faith in.Jesa* Christ a* the Savior of mankind, professing to love God a* his Father nnd hia fellowmea a* brothers, wi»he* do*unite with hia church he could do *o whether he had been bap­ tized according to the Baptist idea of that rertmony or not, and that the question of th* applicant'* particular theological* beliefs Would not bo inslsted upon but that what would be n«ked of him wn* sincere purpose and effort to follow Christ in hl* own per­ sonal life. I ferred Dr. Fosdiek *ay»: "The first disciples started with a life under the mastership of Jesus, and came to a theory afterward based on their experience. Wo often go at the matter from the opposite end. We call on a man to believe some orthodox in­ terpretation of Jesus, insist that only io holding this philosophy concerning Jesus is there salvation or motive power fpr Christian living. That whole method of approach is psychologically false. It asks men first to accept a formula instead of summoning them to undertake a life. It has led to cndlea/ unreality and hypocrisy. It I* respon­ sible for multitude* of people holding a theory and mistakenly supposing that thereby they have achieved a life. It has issued aven in some who insist that all bona fide goodneau sprinn from holding eortaln dogma* and is depen­ theorist* have touched tho fringes of.’.! Dr. Fosdiek calls attention to the fact that maty a young mao and wo­ man- today who is not. a Christian would liko to be one \and - often the churehe* do not help thcm.-”Preaekeri have a way of thinking about Chris tianity a* a whole. They treat it a* t carefully articulated system' of belie f> and practices. They present it a* if it had stiffend into settled finalities They coma to youth with this *un total of Christianity and plead tha men accept this system of thought am practice tn order to become Christian* Some preacher* even *ay explicitly tha tho whole complex affair stands or fall together and that oqe must take it al or have nothing." V But Dr. Fosdick pointed out tha many a youth, however, "who ma wistfully'desire to be a Christian find such nn approach impossible. He ea not start with a wholesale acetptanc of a finished system. He cannot begi by believing what he doa* not pe eeiv* the truth of. It ia psychologiea ■ )y absurd to expeet tho youth, as pr> , cedent to becoming a Christian, to a< • capt thi* inMitutionnllzed mad erect aliud bloc called Christianity, as i would bo to demand eradtinea of tho whole college curriculum before a boy could beeorao a freshman.” Dr. Fosdiek doe* not mean that any­ one i* consciously "to blame for thu* systematizing and organizing lift's ex­ perience*, souoezing the adventure out of them and translating them into formula* " He say* that "the one utter heresy in Christianity ia thus to believe that wo have reached finality, and ean *ettlo down with, a completed system." That, in his judgment, "I* the emeu1 tial denial of the living God, who can­ not have ynid Hi* Iftt wotd on any subject. It is strange that in religion we ao desperately cling to atatle, set­ tled, authoritative finality as though ■uch an attitude." , Froudo, the historian, says, "If medicino had been regulated 300 years ago by net of Parliament; if there had been 30 Article* of Phyrie, and every licensed practitioner had been com­ pelled, under pains and penalties, to compound hi* drugs* by tho prescrip tions of Henry Vfll’« physician, Dr. Butts, it i* easy to conjecture in what state of health tho people of this coun­ try would at present bo found.” Dr. Fosdiek says, "I «hould like to hear more Christian preachers address­ ing the youth of today somewhat as Christian.

Of this the cost of gasoline was Only 1.7 Cents per Mile, or a frac­ tion less than % of the total operating cost. It is worth your while to consider these figures with care. We suggest that you keep an actual, detailed record of the cost of running your car. In this way you can know to a certainty how little money you spend on gasoline in relation* Jo tiie total operating cost. The Standard OU Company (Indiana) contin­ ually concentrates the energies and facilities of . its great organization on keeping the price of gasoline at a low level, to render the greatest service possible to the thirty million people of the Middle West, and to maintain the quality of itg products at a high standard of excellence.

Rosalia Miller, near Nashville. Tho bird had evident­ ly become thoroughly exhnurtc<l and that was the reason why it had taken refuge in tho barn on tne Miller farm. As tho bird had a band on it* log with "A. U. 24. Buffalo, 1913” upon it, Mr*. Miller dsterminod to find the owner if possible. Accordingly, at her request tho BANNER sent a letter to one of tho newspaper* in Buffalo, dc»cribing the bird and tho leg band, Hay­ ing that it probably was of value to tho owner, and that Mra. Miller would like to get in touch with him. Evident­ ly the Buffalo papo/passed on thi* in­ formation to tho American Pigeon Journal, for an item wa* placed in that publication tolling about thi* particu­ lar bird. The following letter, received not long ngo by Mrs. Miller, will tall the rest of tho story. • "Mrs. Rosalia Miller, Nashville, Michigan.

Tho bird evi­ dently became confused when near'tho lako region, and flew up Lake Michi­ gan instead of going straight ahead nod coming up Lake Erie. Thia is a good bird; and if you keep pigeons you may keep her for *tock, but under no circumstance* to soli either her young or herself. ‘It yoj do not keep birds, I would appreciate it very much if you would procure a small box from your grocery man and send her to me by express, collect.

Very.oftan the question of giving tlm Philippines their independence is agi­ tated but the advisability of doing so is much .debated. George B.

Thia custom of a few years ago has been discarded as inconvenient and unsatisfactory — not to say extravagant The most economical way to buy lubricating oil is in larger quantities. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) sells Polarine —The Perfect Motor Oil—in any quantity you may desire. Most users of Polarine are buying in half barrel and barrel quantities. We suggest that you reflect on the convenience of having Polarine in your garage in larger quantities. We will be glad to make deliveries at such seated intervals as you elect; in this way you will never be without oil and in a year’s time you will have saved considerable money. But, be sure you get the right oil for your car. The old practice of ordering “oil” is like calling for a pair of shoes without stating the size rifeeded. They may fit; chances are they won’t Same way with oil. ■ Buy Polarine in the grade made to fit your car, consulting the chart at Any Standard Oil Service Station or At Any Authorized Garage for the cor­ rect grade. Recommendation is made only after exhaustive study by our lubricating staff of trained and able men. The correct grade of Polarine for your car will thoroughly lubricate every frictional surface and add years and miles to the life of your car. But, drain your crankcase every 500 miles; thor­ oughly cleanse your motor with Polarine Flushing Oil, and refill with Polarine in the correct grade. Thia practice saves your car and your money.

Loehr: — October 5, 1925. Dear Grangers: As some of you know. I promised our Worthy- Lecturer to write a letter for Grange to help til up the program. Be­ lieve me, if I hadn’t promised. I am afraid I wouldn’t be writing this, for hardly make it seem possible, for here it i» Just like July. Tho sun is real hot, but in the house or shade, you don’t mind it so mueh; but you do sweat espoeially if you have anything to do, and as we ere not among the fortunate who dbn’t havo to work, wo wipe our brow considerably.

I wa* afraid the enr would got away from Elmer all the time; but tl;e next mountain we eame to went down ju»t a nailing, and wo were not neared cither. Bo, by tho time we arrived at Cumberland and Lookout Mountain, we enjoyed driving over th^m immensely. All through southern Kentucky and Tennessee we had beau­ tiful scevry. The mountain* were very rocky, nnd n* the nun nhono on them, they were all different colors. Took several picture pf them, hut of course, »hey.don’t show tho coloring*, which i* the beautiful part. Friday, *e ascended tho Cumberland mountain*, panning thlouglfthe Cumber­ land Gap. This wa* a very interesting place. After wc d«pve as high as wo could, wc got out nnd went up on rocks. From there. woi could sec into three states. You know thia is just a gap in the Cumberland range, ou the J>srd|» of Kentuckv. Tennessee nnd Vir­ ginia. Here, the altitude affected all of ns. Our cars felt stuffed up and so light headed—sure is n funny sensation. But after this we didn't notice it so muill and Lookout mountain waa higher you could read a newspaper out doors— so mueh clearer and brighter than'there, and to see it sh'no across the oecan ia a picture worthy of painting. Another thing we notieo is the eloud effect In moonlight. Thoy sure have a silyer lin­ ing, a* you read about in stories.

THE STATE AUTOCRAT ABOUT TO PULL ANOTHER Lansing Dispatches Indicate the Governor Wants State to Re­ pudiate Its Debt to Counties Governor Groesbeck seem* deter­ mined to force a balance on tho, right aide of the state treasury, and to rid the state of it* obligation* to the coun­ ties Of Michigan, according to press diapatehe*. It la stated that ho will call the legislature in special session in the near future and then will ask-them to permit tho.state to repudiate the debt of 819,000,000 which it owes to the counties of Michigan for highway bounties. . The extenuating circumstance whieh the Governor pleads in behalf of thta extraordinary repudiation of state ob­ ligations is that the money is urgently needed right now, to make the progress which he desires, in paving certain trunk line* leading up north. He has evidently fixed the price for doing this work as the repudiation by the state of it* debt to the counties for bounties, whieh the state has obligated itself heretofore to pay. Take, for instance, Barry county. Tho state ha* recently taken over ns s part of M 43 about twenty miles of im­ proved roadway whieh tho county Wad built. It seems to be satisfactory to the State Administrative Board to take county property without compensation nnd make it a part of this particular trunk line, also county roads have been made part* of other trunk lines, which had been improved somet'me ago. In the meantime tho county has gone ahead and built many miles 6t improved highway, paid all tho expenses for It, and counted on the state's share of.25 per cent q£ the cost, a* they had a right to do. At the present time tho state owe* Barry county over 8130,000 in road bounties. If the governor suc­ ceed* with hl* program, and he evi­ dently hnow* he w’ll before he rtarts, Barry county’s 8130.000 claim on tho state of Michigan will be repudiated. Sometime, wo do not know when, and somehow, by means whieh do not seem apparent at the present time, the peo­ ple of Michigan will tiro of this arM trary rule by the Governor and his l!ttle oligarchy, called tho Administra­ tive Board. When that time comes wo will get back to a real representative government. We haven't had that in Michigan siaee tbo Administrative Receptacle! for Wa»te Paper to CLARE BURTON DOING GOOD WORK.

THE COMMUNITY’S MOST IMPORTANT DEBT TO THE TEACHER During American Education Week communities will be reminded, through proas nnd platform of the obligation* they owe to worthy school teachnr*. They will, no doubt, ngain bo told thnt the greatest noqd of civilization is good tenehcra, thnt tcnchvrs arc the guiding -influence of future America, aud that thn whole world owe* them a debt of gratitude. These and similar lofty eulogies are worthy of repetition. They tend to entiM’ communities to nek themselves whether they nre doing all they should to emote pleasant environments for their teachers. The firm question they should ask.is: Have we provided our teachers with comfortable living quarters located at reasonable distance* from the schools I Communities that are unable to an­ swer this question in the affirmative should at once set about to liquidate this'very important debt. One of tho ryu»t perplexing problems confronting school boards in small towns and rural district* is how to provide comfortable living quarters for teach­ ers. In many consolidated school dis­ tricts, in village schools, nnd in min­ ing towns employing several teachers, way to hon*e teacher* in comfort ia for thu school district to provide.homo for Contrast all this with the 'dfy that is well paved. It steadily forges ahead over its hard, even streets. Automobiles, busses and delivery trucks, operate efficiently and economically, regardless-of season or weather.

The cost oPgasoline reflected by these fig­ ures is 15.6% of the whole. * This is doubly interesting when compared with the findings of Mr. Royal S. Kellogg, whose figures we quoted some weeks ago. showing that his gasoline cost, for a period of ten years, amounted to 1214% of the cost of running the car. Since a gasoline cost of 15.6% of the total cost appears to be a maximum, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) takes pleasure in pre­ senting the detailed figures or this test. This shows that gasoline represents but a small part of the total operating cost of an automobile. nertion with onc tcnchcr schools where the teacher* ore married men or where the women teacher* have relative* who can live with them. For the most part forded by good hou)rs. to find »ueh homes is difficult. As n rule, people liv­ ing in the best homes in the school diatrieta will not board teachers. A Would it not lie well for' community organizations to urge good people with good home* to share them with the publit schiHd tenrhersf It can be empha­ sized that by so doing they will render patriotic service to tho communities in which they live. During the World wnr tho American people, idtnost to n unH volunteered for any service, no mntter how menial, in order that the conflict might be brought to a righteous end.

From every angle, whether you judge it by comparison with other necessities, such as food'stuffs, furniture, clothing, building material, gasoline proves itself among the least expen­ sive of all essential commodities. If you appraise by comparison with the total up­ keep expense, you will admit that gatoline U Into In price. . In view of a continually increasing demand, the low price of gasoline is made possible only by increased efficiency in refining.

SENATORIAL SITUATION DISCUSSED AT QIST. MEET at unofficial uatnennff at Allegan Laat Wednesday There'was held in Allegan on Wedsesday an informal gathering of repre­ sentative republicans to discuss the sen­ atorial situation in tho now district which comprises the .counties of Allegan, Burry, and Van Buren, the .new aooatorinl district having been eicatcd by an net of the last legislature. This gathering was publicly called, anti there were present repgerentatives from all tho counties comprising tho new district. Tho discussion-Vraa frank and open nnd very fair spirited. Those who attended reflected the public sen­ timent of the counties and communities from which they caYhe. so that the gath­ ering represented a fair cross section of opinion id tho new district. After full and thorough discussion of the qucstioti of rotation, it was voted unanimously by those present .that, in their judgment, each county should be entitled to tho state senatorship for a period of four >car*. It waa also the conaenua of-opinion that, aa Barry county was the new'member of tho dis­ trict, the twwolder members, Van Buren and Allegan, should be accorded a four year term before the acnatorahip should come to Barry county.. Attention was called by the representatives present of the other two counties that Barry coun­ ty now had the congressman, and that he wns giving such satisfaction that he was likely to continue to represent the district for some years to eome, so this was regarded as being another reason why Barry county, under tho conditions, ought to not press her claims for sonatondiip, even though it would have been Barry county's turn in t^a.old Clinton, Baton and Barry district. We feel sure that the republicans of Barry ebunty will recognise the/justice of this view of tho matter- It will therefore be Van Buren county's turn in the now district nt the senatorahip next fall. Following Van Buren, Allegnn will bo entitled to it for four years and then it will be Barry eonnty'a turn. The representative* from tho differ­ ent counties who were present at Wed­ nesday's meeting realised that they haji no delegated authority to decide upon thia plan, and yet thev had. talked with many republicans in their localities and that seemed to be the conclusion of the matter. Holding «ueh a preliminary gathering to settle rotation in senator­ ial districts is a well settled policy in thia state. Bo whilo this unofficial body had no authority to hind tho district, we have no doubt that the republicans of the district will feel that this gather­ ing arrived at a wise solution of the matter, and one which ought to bo car­ ried^ on in good faith in the district.

Auto *Sport Shop "Where Spending is Always Saving" 31 Million Railroad Crossings Without An Accident Statistics completed recently show that during 1924 the vehides operated by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) crossed railroad tracks 31 million times without an accident. This is an average of 85,000 safe crossings per day. This remarkable safety record is a deserved tribute to sustained effort, on the part of the Management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), to impress all employes with the need and desirability of careful driving. The Company pointed out the dangers of care­ less driving and furnished placards reading— ‘This car stops at all railroad crossings.” Every driver was asked to pledge himself to co-operate and to evidence his good intentions by displaying the placard on the rear of his machine. Thus the result was achieved as by common consent, through an appeal from the Manage­ ment to-the sound judgment of loyal men. It is this j-emarkable spirit within the organ­ ization that has made the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) such a constructive force for good in the Middle West. The 29,000 employes are proud of the StandardOi! Company (Indiana)-they glory in its achievemehts— they are jealous of its standing. They go at the daily task with energy, intelli­ gence, loyalty, courtesy and enthusiasm. That Standard Oi! Company (Indiana) service shall be superior is their creed. The success of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is due, in no small part, to the ability of the management to nx)ld an organization >hich is so conscious of its responsibility and so willing to discharge its obligation that it responds to a suggestion as effectively as to an order.

OFF.) 4 Perfect Gasoline I. f • ' The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) offers to the motorists of this city, something new—SOLITE, a light fast volatile gasoline that makes no sacrifice of power. Solite is a cracked gasoline. There is no guesswork in its manufacture. It is made to meet exact specifica­ tion^. It is dependable. We guarantee < its uniformity. Solite must not be confused with socalled “high-test” gasoline. It is much better! k .. Solite does everything that the best so-called “high-test” gasoline will do —but in addition, it drives the piston the full length of the stroke- under power. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has never been satisfied to bring out a light gasoline until it could over­ come the loss of power feature so common to “high-test” gasolines. It has overcome this factor by the ' famous Burton Cracking Process. Solite will give you a new thrill in motoring. Your motor will start on the instant—it will get away smoothly—it will accelerate rapidly and eagerly—and develop an amaz- ' ing speed, for Solite is a “fast gas”. ’ *i. . man who demands a little quicker action and is willing to pay a little more to get it Solite sells for 3c per gallon more than the price of Red Crown—our famous economy fuel which pro­ duces the maximum of power at a ■ minimum of cost > ’ W <SOlA At Any Standard Oil Service Station Or at Any Garage or Filling Station Displaying the Solite Sign STANDARD OIL COMPANY Hastings (Indiana) .(Indiana) Michigan � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/19/452/HastingsBanner_1925-11-11.pdf 8d53e377b4cbbbd096da94ec05c988f3 PDF Text Text THE SEVENTIETH YEAR 16 PAGES HASTINGS BANNER --------------------------- I-------------------------- IS NOW LOCATED AT CEH0M8MEET FT.

A man commanding a salary of $25,COO, $50,000, $100,000 or $150,000 a year, who can give the nation a univer­ sal telephone service, an unlimited sup­ ply of gnaoline, the cheapest automo­ biles in the world, electric motors, incnndosccnt lamps, modern insurance safeguards, n perfect railroad system, electric washing nnd ironing machines, electric refrigerators, the marveloa* radio, or namerou* other convenience* whieh are commonplace to the American home and luxuries in European coun­ tries where government ownership and control has been the practice in many lines of industrial development, is cheap at ten time* hi* salary. Of what ad­ vantage aro low-prieed government em­ ployees to the people if they fail to de­ velop the service whieh private enter­ prises and initiatlive strive to provide? The greatest corporations pay the largest salaries because by so doing they secure the brains which enable them to furnish their products to tbo masses at the lowest possible price. NAHIIVILLE. Mra.

Mr. Honeywell stated that a great ING itooM for rmt. deal of stress was put upon the proposi­ tion of compelling trucks to pay their full »hare of the weight tax. It seemed that the returns, as compiled last year, ■hared that owners of exactly the same truck would report them of weight* that differed by from four to five hun ilred pounds, although of course they should weigh the same in all ease*. But paying the tax in full would strip their trucks down to the lightest possible weight by leaving off the stake* and tbo extra wheel and several other parti of the* paraphernalia, apd so would gel off by paying considerably less than they should. The authorities are wise to thi* matter now, and . know about whnt such trucks, properly equipped for business, weigh without any load on them. They intend that the tax shall be paid on a bp.«is of actual weight when ready tF-do business, not when stripped to the lowest limit for the pur­ pose of avoiding taxes. It i* believe-} that the actual weight of tracks will add a large sum. because there are about 173,000 trucks in Michigan and located at 803 S. Church gtrect, to treated by one who knows how.

But he called tho attention of the four young fellow* to tho fact that they must not think that ho was dis­ posed to glow over their misdeed* becausa he wa* disposed to be lenient for their first offense. ’ On tho other hand, he pointed out that he had at that same prison for Mealing, who had previously been paroled and who had violated thoir parole*. But he felt, he »ald, that es­ pecially a boy in-hi* teens, or a young man in hia early twenties, who had never violated tho law had a right to another chance, and ho wa* glad to have the privilege of giving it to them. Ho waroed them that if they violated thoir Croie they had no need to expoet any lienee from him, beeauae it would not bo granted. Judge MdTeck had some things to say about school* and about homo rt»ndiUtions which wo hope every reader of tho BANNER will read, carefully. Tho Charlotte Republican published his remark* to the boy* and from that pa­ per we take tho following nnd urge ita careful reading:— . “Now, it seemj strange that young mon of your opportunities, should be brought here charged with a serious offense. Of coarse you are not alono. This condition is more or leas general. Different ones have tried to analyse it. I have just been reading lately a book by an Eastern school man of long ex­ perience., The title Is “What Ails Our YouthP’ and one of his conclusions is that it ia not sdl'in the youth, but that it ia in the development of conditions for whieh tho ciders are more or les* responsible, and I am inclined to that view. I am inclined to think that the leniency of parents, and the indiffer­ ence of parents to tho conduct of their children, are largely responsible for present-day conditions—and frankly ferent resnlto. things to thq schools—to the public schools. There may be possibly place* in which the Mhool* fail, bat it seom* to rhe that-trying to shift tho burden onto the school teuebers, who have the oversight of young people during a few hours, a few busy hours, of employment, ns'kfainst the parents, who have their management and control during their idle hour* of the day, is not justified, and I am going to impose some condi­ tion* here that I hope will be effective in taking up some of tho alack which I think has existed in your eontrol and oversight. • • • • “Now/ Benedict and Andrews, nei­ ther of Aem ean plead any justification for their predicament, excopt sueh ju*tl» fleation a* exists in general condition* ■today, and yet that ahpuld not operate to excuse your conduct. You both had opportunities that should have induced better conduct. It I* difficult to under­ stand thi* situation. Of course I think I understand some things. I am not a parent, but I ean observe tho changes that have been wrought in community life in tho last few years. I know one thing, that when Sunday baseball games, and Bunday picture shows, are substituted for the Sunday school, and for the chpreh, as places parents take their children, nnd allow them to go, that something of a mo al breakdown in character i* bound to en*ue, and I know that when I go over here to chureh Sunday night, and find thirty or forty people in ono at the loading churchc* of thi* city, and I don’t know how many in the others, and when I go down on the streets and see the street* crowded with young people, and the picture show* crowded, and when I have *ccn those same ones going to nnd coming from Sunday baMball game*, I know that something is bound to result in tho way of moral break­ down of the youth of any community, and I want to say bore, and I wish everybody in thi* eity could hear it, that the responsibility for these con­ ditions lie* with tho people of tho community, and with tho parents of tho community, nnd that if there could be a return to the practices of religious training and moral training, and respeet for tho Sabbath, that existed thirty or forty years ago, they might look for.* betterment in tho moral con­ ditions of the youth. We have been too •omplaccnt toward these thing* and there 1* not the training in the home, or In the community, that direct* the youth of the community toward a strict­ ly moraj and upright life. There is not tho support of tho institutions which work to that end that should be given in this'community, or in any other com­ munity, in my belief. “Now, those are *ome of the thing* that 'weigh in my disposition of your cases. They aro not aa excuse far you in the seme that you might be allowed to go from this Court free from all pun­ ishment, of responsibility for your of­ fenses, but I wish they might be con­ sidered by all eitisen* at weighing upon the responsibility that rests upon all at thia particular hour to bring about a. better moral condition in this and •very other community. • • * “Now, I have said, I think, all I me to say that; I hope you boy* wRl make good. There cannot bo any ques­ tion about the faet that if a young man who is brought into this Court for the first time, for this sort of an offense, really doe* make good, and- make* an upright citizen, that the Court i* right in giving him an opportunity. It seems to me, that if a life i* saved, it ia cer­ tainly worth tho effort, and worth the re«ort to tho law which provides for this mcab* of disposing of case*. If, on the other hand, you by your eon duct bring yoursclve* again into thi* Court, you will have nobody .but your­ selves to blame. I hope you will go out of here with the aittUudo of respect for thi* Court, and with a* full realization of your responsibility in tho communi­ ties where you nro going to live, not with the idea that you can again af­ front the publie *cn*o of right, nor with impunity disobey the law* of thi* state, but that it is up to you, each of you, to live strictly within the law, and not only do that but to conduct yourselves in. such a fashion, each of you, that you will eara the respect of your associate*; nnd of all of tho member* of this eOmrnunity, and the community whore you live. Demonstrate that you have in you tho qualities that will make good citisens, and that thi* difficulty in which you found yourselves was tho result of a temporary lapse, rather than a con­ dition whieh might appear to bp per­ manent in your makeup and character." that the young and old rare growth and health emphasizes the usefulness and need of icott's Emulsion of invigorating cod-liver oil It ia a rich, vitaircnactivated food-tonic that promotes growth and buikls strength to re­ fresh the rundown system.

Brownlee, representing the Hedpath Chautauqua, was in Hasting* yesterday and qttended tha meeting of the Commercial club, at the invitation of the boatd of directors, nnd presented to. tho slub the proposition of ha«ing n free Chautauqua in Hastings.' Mr. Brownlee has presented the proposition previously at a‘meeting of the board, nnd they had requested him to bring it before the elub, which he did. Briefly, Mr. Brownlee proposed a free Chautauqua to bo given here some thqo in July or August, under tho auspices of tho Commercial club. It would be a five-day Chautauqua, and of the usual high grade brought out by tho Redpath bureau. Mr. Brownlee said the bureau would be prepared to furnish tent and aeeommodationa for 5,000 people and seats for tho same number and do al) the work of advertising and putting up and taking down the tents. The matter was discussed for some time by the members of tho club. By practically a unanimous rising vote It was decided to accept the proposition, provided tho board of directors and Mr. Brownlee shall arrive at mutually agreeable terms to be embodied in a contract, which will Insure tent acsommodmions for 5,000 people, together *ith the necessary pay for that mahy. A suggested plan to help defray tho expense, and at the same time accommo­ date thoao who may wish, was to have a limited number of reserve seat* on sale at a reasonable price for th6 ten enter­ tainments to be given. , Tho balance of tho expense would come from the merchants, manufactur­ ers and professional men of Hastings who, for the part four years, have con­ tributed an amount equal to that which will be required aa a guarantee for this Chautauhua.

This was a part of "Children’* Book W*ok” and wa* put upon the screen in order that the children might thereby get a better sequaintaneo with the book and have it vividly portrayed to them. In order to get the play and produce it al the regular price Manager Branch had to guarantee a large sum, because thi* play ha* not been shown in a town so small a* H^stinga before ns the price, so it aecmed, prohibited it. The teacher*, in • fine way, cooperated and thn repre­ sentation of the children at tho piny for the two matinee* taxed tho Strand to it* capacity and the two evening crowds were also capacity house*. Appreciating the fine work which the teachers bad done in cooperating with him in thia matter, in not only raving him from los* bnt filling the Strand to ita full limit, Mr. Branch last we4k. seat a cheek for a liberal amount to the leathers to be added to tho "asUh fund”, tho purpose of whieh is to sup­ ply milk to school children who need it. Tho teacher* appreciate this very lib­ eral gift and tho spirit which prompted Mr. Branch to give it. Mis* Hctmanspergcr, grade super visor, assures us that tho pronounced ■neccu of thi* fine play for children will undoubtedly leml to the bringing of other high claas play* of a situiliar kind to the Strand, w\th rewriting good to the children in the knowledge which, it will give them of some of the fine book* that have been written for their benefit.

Already there ' arc n few factories that are at work making nitrogen and many more soon will be no employed* The Oegnan process for making syn­ thetic ammonia, from which nitrogen is obtained* and which eon bo used in CxploriYC* is a* follows; _ Hydrogen, obtained from coal and eoke, rather than from eleetric. power, is pumped into steel tanka into which ordinary air, made up of a mixture of nitrogen, is also blown. A spark plug, of tho familiar automobile‘variety, in­ side the tank ignite* noma of the hydro­ gen nnd combines it with the oxygen, making water which ynn lie drawn off and providing an exoM of hydrogeif nnd nitrogen in the rifxture. All the iron, hut why it causes tho fusion of the heated ga«r* into ammonia is still a mystery to science. The yield of ammonia in this process i* up to 20 per cent, uring n eatylyst perfected by the fixed aitrogetf labora­ tory of our governmrnt. German yields are reported to he below this figure. Ammonia thus obtained is called an­ hydrous ammonia, which becomes a liquid when cooled. The familiar household ammonia con­ tain* about 25 per cent anhydrous, the rent beiog water. From the synthetic ammonia are derived acid for (nunit ion*, the amnion in deed in cold storage plant refrigeration, in producing stable chemical* sneh a* soda a»h, nitrate for artificial leather, photographic films, imitation ivory ar.d celluloid, aa a com­ ponent in making dye*, aulphuric aciif and glu**, nnd for fertilizer purpose*. Chile hcrctofprc ha* beea the chief source of uitrato supplies for tho Uni­ ted States. In 1918 we imported over 2,000,000 ton* of Chilian nitrate, chief­ ly for high explosive* and imcrtelcu powder. Germany expects thio year to produce 350,000,000 by tho synthetic procs**. American induatry, Just under way, probably will turn out not more than 0,000 ton* thi* year. The annual import into the United States of nitrate* is about one milion tons. We will not only save money by manufacturing the nitrates in thi* country bnt will also make ourselves entirely independent of all othar countries in obtaining s sup­ ply of nitrate.

The question ia often asked by an Individual “What becomes of the dol­ lar which I give the American Bed Cross in return for my membership iq that orga«i«atiowt ” First of .all, fifty cents of that dollar remains in the eounty where it is collected, to be used by the local Red Crosa chapter in eonstnietivc commuaity service within tbeeounty.

Under its CowgroMional charter it ia-a Mini-offleial agent of tho government, but It be­ long* aeverthelte* to the people.” It t», of conrae, possible to pay more than one dollar for membership in4ha Red Crosa. For example, there are five dol­ lar, tea dollar and . twenty-five dollar membership*, but only fifty cents from each of these classes of • membership goes to the national organisation, the bklanoe remains in tho local community to finance local work. All of the account* of tho American National Bed.

WILL GORHAM, No �Motorists everywhere in this vicinity will want to learn the news that we have taken this territory for THE COMPLETE LINE OF CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES We know there is a large number of motorists who recognize the. worth of these splendid cars and upon learning that we are to handle them will be anxious to have a demonstration, for If You Drive a Chrysler You Will Want to Own It! Cars of every class are trying to compete with Chrysler in the total volume of National Sales, but Chrysler is rapidly passing all contest­ ants. As soon as the merits of this car are known the prospective purchaser wants one. A ride m a Chrysler Four goes beyond all previous conceptions of what a car of this price should be and do. Its quiet engine, with all sense of vibration eradicated, gives* a flow of power that is continuous and dependable. Its smooth and flexible pick-up takes you through traffic with consummate ease. ~ A new degree of riding and driving comfort results from Chrys­ ler-designed spring suspension, low center of gravity, full balloon tires and pivotal steering. Chrysler 'hydraulic rour-wheel brakes ar? available at slight extra cost. These are exclusively the results of Chrysler advanced engineer­ ing, combined with prodigal use of the ’finest alloy steels, and a pre­ cision of workmansnip heretofore unknown in cars anywhere near the Chrysler Four price. : Only a demonstration can do justice to the unexcelled perform­ ance which these Chrysler qualities assure. CHRYSLER FOUR We are pleaied to extend the convenience of time-paymcnta. A»k about Chrysler's attractive plan. Chrysler dealers and superior Chrys­ ler service everywhere. All Chrysler models are protected against theft by the Fed co pat­ ented car numbering system, exclusive with Chrysler, which cannot be counterfeited and cannot be altered or removed without conclusive evi­ dence of tampering. Distinctive design, original beauty, smartness, and performance without parallel, single out the Chrysler Six from among the finest. That is why men and women who have owned the highest priced cars now prefer the Chrysler Six. Unusual economy, outstanding durability, exceptional freedom from mechanical drudgery, are placing the Chrysler Six in the hands of thousands who formerly drove lesser cars. Thus among all classes, the qualities which are peculiar to Chrysler alone have won for this car an esteem seldom if ever be­ fore conferred on any car. We are eager to give you a demonstra­ tion of the properties which give the Chrysler Six such universal and irresistible appeal.

A day Jphen our hearts should be filled .with gratitude to those hardy Pilgrims who blazed the trail or thousands of years of freedom and independence, and who in 1621 ate their first Thanks­ giving dinner and fervently offered thanks to God for His great goodness. With all these blessings so generously bestowed upon us let us not forget our responsi­ bility—To our God—To our Home—To our Fellow Man—To onr Community—To our Coun­ try—To the World, as there is no reward without a task performed, so there is no joy without responsibility. I That this country of ours is THE greatest country on earth—That our people are the most contented and the happiest people in the world—That we are today at peace with all the universe—That the sun of prosperity casta upon our land its noon-day rays, will be her­ alded from ocean to ocean in 25,000,000 American homes Thursday, November 26, and all shall rejoice. As a chain is impaired by a weak link, so is a nation weakened by a poor citizen. May American citizenry tighten their belts and go forth for America and the World to make the coming year of 1926, the biggest and best year since the time when "Man” was projected into the scheme of things.

NOW JUST READ THIS AND THINK IT OVER! ’ PETER KOELSCH IS A FARMER HERE IN MICHIGAN Koelsch’s old cow, Snow, has three daughters and a granddaughter. Snow, at the age of 11, produced 11,005 pounds of milk in a year, and 375 pounds of butterfat. She was bred to a purebred sire and the daughter, Bess, produced 14,­ 071 pounds of milk in a year (nearly 3,000 more than her mother) and 476 pounds of butterfat (101 more than herjnother). Snow was bred to a SCRUB sire, and Speckle was bom. Speckle pro­ duced 9,227 pounds of milk and 337 pounds of butterfat. Again the old cow was bred to a srub bull. The daughter, in this case, Dolly, at 3, produced 6,274 pounds of milk and 239 pounds of' butterfat. That’s more than 7,000 pounds of milk less than Bess, daughter of a purebred sire, and only half as much butterfat. Then Bess—sired by a purebred bull, remember—was bred to a purebred bull, and Daisy was born. Daisy, when only 3, produced more than her grandmother did at 11. ' • j You see, when there was a little difference in age between Bess and Spec­ kle there was a difference in production of 4,842 pounds of milk and 139 pounds of butterfat in favor of Bess. You see, too, that Bess produced 7,797 pounds more milk than Dolly did—Dolly the daughter of a scrub bull. . . . These are actual figures taken from actual cows under just ordinary cir­ cumstances.

All these are brought to you through the air summer and winter. Fyn—bright, spark­ ling fun—from the country over, enjoyed by the entire family. The broadcasting reception which the Lan Sing gives you is ideal, clear, mellow tones with true articulation without distortion and free from regeneration of any sort. The development of Radio within recent years has been a process of refinement rather than the result of any basic changes. Taking its place among other improvements comes the Hexaircoil. Compared with other forms of coils it is ten to fifty per cent more efficient, wasting less of the'aerial energy and giving ' greaterhrange and selectivity.

No stronger argument could be ad­ vanced against unregulated aqkvxclusive public ownership of industrica than tho facta revealed by Secretary Hoover. Where-imeh conditions, exist, the in­ centive of private initiative to lower costs and give better service, nnd the protection afforded by dnly authorised regulatory bodies ttrboth cdhsumer and producer, are entirely absent.

Polarine in the right grade will thoroughly lubricate the remotest frictional surfaces of your engine. It maintains its body at all speeds and temperatures; it will not break down. Don’t stint on oil. To use it freely—almost extravagantly—is the best life assurance you can buy for your car. x Buy Polarine in the grade made to fit your individual <ar.

These recommendations are made only aftlr exhaustive study by our lllliv-tr-o -- - - V The correct grade of Polarine will thoroughly lubricate every frictional surface and add years and miles to the life of your car..

Govern6r Groeabeck In l«aa than a year, after its pro­ visions are made law, eomw flatly forth and declares the state ia broke, ■ its highway program but slightly advanced, aad no relief ia aight' oxoept more taxes. Pint ho suggests that <he coun­ ties refrain fhrm demanding long past duo State rewards owing thorn. A storm further insistence. Than followed soveral counties which worn taking for state trank lido extensions only to be told tho stats haa no money ubImb they were willing to help out with eounty money. Promise of this has been forth­ coming in some Urtaaeen aeeording to reports. But now comes tho very latent idea of the governor to still further bolster 2 state finances. Somebody told his eelleney that the townships were spending a lot of money on township highways and immediately at Grand Rapids ho suggests that moat of this must be wasted and proffora tho thought that inasmuch as the state has spent all ita cash, the townships ought to come across and hand theirs over to it. Of eourte the whole platter is ludi­ crous and should be ridiculed inrtea^ of being discussed but inasmuch aa tho governor is a city bred fellow nnd has never been out in the country enough to know much about it, a few facta on the subject of township finances and township highways might not be amiss. Also it might easily be pointed out that tho taxes spent in townships is voted by direct vote of the taxpayers in the only purely democratic form of governmeat yet remaining—<ha town meeting. Further it might be said that the road* ye Cownnhip roads, built and maintain­ ed by taxes raised on property entirely within the township and approved by vim voice vote of the elector*.of the township acting entirely upon their own initiative and entirely within their rights. In other words if all tho money they epend is wasted it Is their own ■bust seas and none of the governor *s. But for the sake of edightment, let ius eall attention t» one er two sal'ent fact*. Take Ingham eounty for a fair <example. In this eounty there rfro up- proximately 1200 miles of publie high­ way in the townships.

It Beams hardly credible that the school population of Michigan ia grow­ ing as rapidly os it ml’ In 1920 the total number of .persons of school age in thia.atato Was ST831X while.in MM15 thin had grtfWn to 1,174,551, an iocrcase of almorf 200,000 itf-Uva years. The number of tdacbeni Employed in this state in 1920.wax 34,302, while last year it tame 27,918. Ono ean see from the increased school population why there was such aa,increase in the num­ ber of teaehcra required. The Stale Department of Education ia working on plan* that may result in benefit to the Mnailcr rural schools. If these plans shall bo carried out con­ solidation of rural schbol* will become a fixed policy. However, this will not bo done until some plan ean be worked out which will help to finance tho ex­ ponses whieh such a change would en­ tail. When wo jote tho caah required in Michigan to maintain putyHc schools, wo sometimes hear a great deal of growling on tho part of certain people. That thcro'la ao merit to aueh criticism of school costs is shown by the faet thnt, for every dollar paid for tho main­ tenance of the public schools of Miehi^ gnn, and we think that would bo true in tho city of Hastings, there aro ♦5 spent for tohachrin its various form*, ire eream, candles and in pool rooms for amusement and for ■ picture-ahows, etc. uro not complaining about what people do with* their money in other cnaea, but we think it evidences very poor judgment on the part of any per­ son to criticize expenditures for public school*, when so much more 1* spent for unnecessary things. And if wo would include the co»t of maintaining and Tunning automobile*, we think probably the expense would reach ten to one. For no money that ia spent I* there so largo a return as for that paid out for publie schools in the way of com­ munity benefit and betterment. - sister, Mrs. Philip Gerlingen Albert Gcrljffgbr has been at Georg® Beeker’s the past week nnd haa been learning to do chores, thus will act as chore boy while Mr. nnd Mrs. Beck cr go on their trip to Californio.

It may even mean complete 1.. th. . x,. a. rid Y'> i wdl be judged wholly by its reputation. If g... . 4t u l be a valuable asset. If poor, it will be a burdensome liability. Ambitious arid intelligent young men and women are too wise to at­ tempt save money by attending a cheap college. They know that a(f. tiding a * heap school is the dearest kind of extravagance, forthose who attend such schools get just what thev pay for—cheap instruction—and cheap instruction is the most expensive thing they can |>uy 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 Train­ ing Schools. C. J. ARGUBRIGHT President of Michigan Business & Normal College 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 sweetneaa of cheap tuition can never offset the bitterness of poor instruction. They know the real economy of getting the best possible instruction. When you graduate al 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 will 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 dividend^ on your in­ vestment throughout your entire business career. Furthermore, the instruction in every Department of the school is indi­ vidual, 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 ithe same courses of study were given. Consider carefully the wonderful possibilities that go hand-in-hand with M ichigan 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, remem­ bering 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?" Your Guarantee of Satisfaction 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. Our School of Secretarial Science Is Under the Direction of Mr. Balcomb 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 aa “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.

Article Stirs Fanner's Ire. The following is an article which was widely printed and which prompted Mr. Loomis to take up the matter-with the State Farm Bureau: Cslhonn County Prosecutor Frees ' Man Belted for Invading Posted Fann. Marshall, November 2, United Press—Farmers have no legal 'meth­ od of keeping hunters off their prop­ erty, according to a ruling,of Clyde , C. Cartright, Calhoun county prosecu­ tor. Cartright dismissed criminal charges brought by Glenn Peek, Fre­ donia to*vnship farmer, against George Burrows, Battle Creek. Peck had Burows arrested for hunting on Phone 2217 Hastings, Mich. a posted farm. If hunters damage . property of fanners, they can be ■sued for actual damages only. ■ Mr. Loomis sent tho abovq clipping to the Btate Farm Bureau from his South Haven home enclosing it in the following letter: . Mr. 8. M. Powell, Lansing, Michigan. Dear -Mr. Powell: I am enclosing a clippingstaken from a recent issue of the Kalamazoo "Ga­ zette," Nov. 2, which strikes me as being of considerable Interest to fann­ ers, provided the information it pur­ ports to give is true. Would it not bo possible for tho proper agency of the Farm Bureau to take np thia matter with the Attorney General and deter­ mine if the facts are correctly stated in thia item. The same item appeared In our local "Daily Tribune" and has been, I presume, published widely throughout the state. Legal Damages. I do not believe' that fanners, as a rule, object to responsible persons hunt­ ing on their land. But such a ruling aa tho one rendered in Calhoun county, according to this item, simply opens a farmer's land, willy-nilly, to whomever is old enough to securo a hunting li­ cense and sarry a gun, and would per­ mit them to annoy one to a disagree­ able extent without any act that might lawfully be considered "damage." Furthermore, in eettain eases, actual legal damage might be done, but it is one thing to sue for damages and an­ other thing to collect from certain in­ dividuals after securing a judgment. Living as we do. within half a mile of tho corporate limit* of this eity, I have had occasion at least once or twice within caeh of tho five year* wa have lived here, to warn hunters away from the immediate vicinity of house and farm bnildings. Usually such individ­ uals highly resent such a warning. Re­ sponsible men either keep a safe dis tance from stock and buildings, or re­ quest permission to hunt on one’s prem­ ises, thus giving heed to the farmer's wishes in the matter. I in addressing my letter to you, because I do not find noy "Legal De­ partment" mentioned in tho Fprm Bu­ reau Nows," but know you have the moans of placing it with the proper de­ partment for attention. If an opinion from the Attornoy General eould bo ob­ tained nnd published, say in an early issue of the News, I believe many fann­ ers would appreciate it. In dismissing this matter with one or two of my neighbors, it has seemed to us that it might become a matter for the Farm Bureau to take eognizaneo of. Thanking you for placing this be­ fore the proper department, I am Very truly yours, HOWARD LOOMIS. South Haven, Mich., R. 3, Box 216. Nov. 11, 1925. Other Members Complain. Upon receipt of the above letter, Mr. Powell promptly assured Mr. Loomis that tho matter was being taken up with the Attorney General. In this letter Mr. Powell told Mr. Loomis in part: . . “We have had several complaints from our members about damage to crops, fences and live stock whieh is the result of activities of reckless and thoughtless hunters. I have been in a number of farm meetings recently where various remedies have been pro­ posed. At the last session of the State legislature we used our best influence to secure the passage of. a proposal sponsored by Senator Norton B. Hor­ ton which would have required a hunter to secure the permission of tho owner or occupant before hunting upon any enclosed agricultural land. I regrot to say that this measure wa* defeated.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) chain of service stations has been a development of the past few years. They came into being first in unswft1 to an unfonnulated demand on the part of touring motorists, and they have been conLnued and multiplied because our patrons demand the type of service we have established. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service stations do much more than sell oil products — they are convenient points of meeting and firstLtd centers in time of difficulty. These stations and the service they render, typify the ideals animating the Management of this Company tn itq relations with the consumer. Efficient service, cheerfully rendered, is the foundation of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) success. To give its customers a little more than they pay for, is the undeviating policy of this organization, and this policy is recognized throughout the ten states where this Company has facilities for distribution. Through a long chain of operations from the oil .field to the service station, this Company devotes all its abilities and resources to the service of the thirty million people of the Middle West.

The success­ ful man specializes in his particular field of knowledge and business. Other professions a..d a half million businesses he leaves to the other specialists and he consults them whenever the need arises. If he is ill, he calls a doctor; if he has a legal prob­ lem, he consults his attorney; if he wishes to erect a building, he consults an architect. Following this same principle, the prudent man will consult a specialist whenever he has money to invest, i The Michigan Trust Company has had 36 years experience in investing money in bonds. None are offered for sale which are not owned by' the Company. That we have confidence in the bonds which we offer for sale, is evidenced by the fact that we invest our own funds in them FIRST.

There are al*o many deserving case* where mother* are widowed and left with children to rapport. In eaae*' like there, unquestionably the public welfare ia furthered by havinj sufficient aid given *o that tho children ean be maintained ia a home with their moth­ er, rather than to bo sent to some pub­ lic institution. Public institution* havo to be rapported by the tax payer*; and, the people foot the bill*. Even if wo diiVnot have a Mother** Pension law there would unquestionably be large charges -for tho eouity to pay for the rapport of children if they were sen: to publie tastltutiou.

The total number of children ribo wore considered In the rating of there pensions is 142. . The total nmount of mother’s pen­ sions paid during November wa* <1,­ 477.34. It will be seen that the amount for each mother and child is comparative­ ly small. Dividing the >1,47744 by 199 will show what the average amount ia that the county provide* toward tho liv­ ing of each of the 199 people involved. It will be scon that it I* less than.>7.50 per month for each, Whieh certainly I cannot bo called extravagant. , Mr*. Oienr Sherk railed on her daugh­ ter, Mr*.

Our forefathers never dreamed that in the year 1925 we would be "tuning in" on the music, Oratory and sports of the world with no visible contact. That the wave* of ether surrounding them were filled with noises to charm or entertain; to comfort or bring 'distress; and that it was only needed for the genius of man to de­ velop a device that would separate one sound from another con­ veying to the million of listeners messages of one sort or another and almost revolutionize civilization. But such hu been the case, marking an epoch in the history of Man. The blessings of the American home can scarcely b^pumbered and foremoaf among them stands the radio. That to has come to stay goes without saying and those who are to keep pace with the world, with national and international advaorsmsot, must have and will have a radio. In the following two w throe pages are the announcements of several of the Hastings merchants who havo radios of various makes to sell, telling of the merits and superiorities of their indi­ vidual machines.

'The County Road Com misrioiuha* been eriteir.ed borauno the rood* of thi* eounty have not been of the counties which-border on Barry. The eontruit ha* been quite marked, nnd has resulted in npic.h unfavorable comment with reference to thi* eounty. Mr. Colgrovo has gone nt this thing in hi* usual thorough manner, looking up the law* governing the matter and • Iso will give fact* and figures froin the other counties to show .what they have done to enable their County Rond Commission* to carry on tho work of road mnintenanro. The first of tho two article* which Mr.-Colgrovo hasprepared for the BAN­ NER appear* in thi* i»»ue. We hope every render will carefully consider it, th* article.-which Mr. Colgravu' will then have, which -will com pic to what be ha* to say on the subject. Our read­ ers will notleo the fair spirit in which Mr. Colgrovo write* tho article. Hi* A i I * icixr, with a view of having a really serious matter remedied. It will not b« forgotten that Barry eounty has, as Mr. Colgrovo show* in hi* article thi* week, nearly $1,250,000 invested in 127" mile* of county road, which ha* been built since the county road system wn* adopted here. It will bo remembered that before that time several of the townships had compie tod several inlle* of CovJrtl road. Hinco the county adopted the eounty system some townships have also built improved highway* on their own ac­ count, which the county will un­ doubtedly take over a* n part of its rood system. Jf wo would include what the county ha* paid toward the cost of trunk lino highways that have been built in the county, It wquld be found that Barry eounty luu an investment in improved road* of well past 91,750,­ 000, and it may even reach 92,000,900. That is a lot of money, and that invest­ ment belongs to tho people of the coun­ ty. If the roads are not properly kept up n good lot of thi* capital stock will be wasted and Jost. Viewed from tho standpoint of purr burines* thi* invest­ ment ought to be maintained. Mr. Colgrove’s purpose in writing the article* ha* been to direct public attention to this matter, with the end in view of having a fixed policy of road mainte­ nance adopted apd carried out in Barry county. i as If they know about every < Christendom.

A WELCOMED CHECK CAME AT CHRISTMAS whiteside wns' a lonely old woman. She lived In a little gray cottage on Bank street She bad no relatives and very few friend*. But this fact did not seem to bother her very much—at least the town thought It did not And gradually even the few friends ahe had rpoved away or forgot her, or died, so that- often ahe spent days without seeing a soul. The town felt that she did not want any of it, so the town let her alone; left her to herself and the money she was hoarding so closdy. She waa voted a miser and acrabbed old woman. But as It often happens In tills world the town misunderstood. Martha was neither a miser nor a crabbed old woman. Instead she-graved lore and affection and would have given worlds to bo able to help lq every good and worth while cause that came up.

SPOKE ON COMMUNb TY CO-OPERATION There was a large attendance nt tho Brotherhood meeting .Monday night and a timely address wag given by President Butterfield of tho Michigan State College nt Lansing. Dr. Butterfield took for his topic "Cooperative Community Enterprises." He discussed the various phases of Co­ operation as shown in agriculture at the present time, and said that there is a new movement just beginning to bo felt and that w<a what might bo called "community cooperation," with the idea of promoting a better understand­ ing and mutual' interests. This was growing especially in towns the sire of Hastings and even larger and in many of the sinsllor center* where community clubs arc studying the relationship of the bittiness interests of tho community to the community itself and to the peo­ ple of tho surrounding farm territory. Ho brought Out the fact that if •» community really desires to do some­ thing in this line it must make of itself a center scrHec station, and its Lustdcm interests must aim to servo ade­ quately. , Tho surrounding territory htu ita part, »gid that in to supply more and mwo of the thing* which the farms cun produce which will be needed lit tho community. ' Ho spoke of the wide difference in conveniences between city and villagr home* gad farm homes, and streMcd tho importance of trying to bring more of the comforts and convenience of good homes to the farm. , He said wo are entering tho ago of community p/ogram-making, nnd such u program should, in a general way, in­ clude some program for prmlueti->a, some program fpr cooperative market­ ing, some protram for farm markets, better banking faeilitiaa tor farmers, especially aiduig farmers to get 'bort time loans o/*|vorabla term*. . Dr-TJutterfilft felt that efforts should be made to alilTarnicm where they have profits to Invetf M\that they may invest them in staple tecurfties, nnd if possible in way that will benefit tho community in which they aro directly Interested. He said public .health and public recreation, including wholesome home nmd>«'in<uit*, ar0 things that could profitably inchidod on such a program The aim in every community should be that every child shelf have equal op­ portunity with every other chii-i fur a gbod education. ’ Ho felt that in mnny rural communities thia is not utfw pos­ sible. It should be made possible. President Butterfield was sure that tho country chureh had not kept pace with other improvements noted in farm communities. He called attention to.the fact that the church is at the present time weakest in the congested centers of great cities and in the open country. He insisted that the church which would serve rural communitirw must be a community-minded church, and can­ not be denominational, if it hopes to succeed. Any copimunity which hopes to make the most of itself and to do the most for its jieoplo and for the growth of its uwn institutions must acquire a capac­ ity for working together. Bev. Karl JI. Keefer, representing tho Boy Hcouts organlih\ion, met with the Fire committee of the Hustings city council on Thursday evening and made arrangements for special work with some of tho advanced Bcqut*.

His lecture was on the subject, "I^w Enforcement." Mr. Meade, though n Methodist preacher, has served his county ns deputy sheriff for eleven months, dur­ ing.Which time ho cleaned up hia town. He eited tome very thrilling experiences in enforcing the law in his town* His conviction upon that subject was that he wax willing to die for it rather than stand silently by and sec the characters of the youth pnderrained br the work of bootleggers, booxeflptters aad gamblers. His experiences therefore were runny and vnriiul. but he won out am) cleaned up things because he was ready to give his Uro for hia convic­ tion*. He »*id in brief—prosecutorn and sheriffs are lx>rn not made.. That unless h man hn» a rrtl conviction that he "ought to enforce the luw" he will not make or cannot make a successful prosecutor or sheriff ns such a type of man absolutely will not enforce the law because he has no determined convic­ tions on the ralsipg of tire morale of hia town or city. ' He also said,’" A prosecutor can force the sheriff, but a sheriff cannot force a no matter how good a sheriff you have or how much ka wants law cnfoitcment, hia hands are tied. . Mr. Mead said the hw can -lip en­ forced in every aqd any city or t^wn if the prosecutor wants it enforeed, nnd if tbe prosecutor dock not have some deep conviction Hint it must be enforced for the good of the boys nnd girls and tho home it nbMlulqly will not be enforeed.

To the writer it seems almost incredible that the state should have failed to prertnt its claims in proper time for audit, and afterwards, and when too late to *pread the same upon the tax roll in the* regular way, should have deducted over >8,000 from the amount due the county aad applied it to the credit of tho eounty. The amounts received from the ntate for the year commencing November 1, 1924 and ending November 1, 1925 are as follows: Nov^SO for maintenance ..> 5,804.31 Feb. 5 for maintenance 800.94 Feb. !• fnr maintenance Store Wean’, SUia Quilled will not be difficult to understand the amount* that should be paid to Berry county from the state by reason of both the gasoline statute and the weight tax. The fact of th* matter is that Barry county road -eommisisoacro oaly re­ erived from all sources from November 1, 1924 to November 1, 1925, including >11,000 from Barry coupty, >40,901.92. Thera was collected and paid into the fund by tho eounty treasurer of Barry county >11,000, whieh come* ouT of the total a* above given, leaving but >29,901.92 from the state. Tbe amount rep­ resents maintenance paid for four ouar ter*. Il nlao includes >2074.40 paid by tho Administrative Board for right-ofway, which ha* nothing to do with maintenance. The faet of the matter is that a little more than >8,000 due Barry county from the state was deducted by the State Highway deportment from their remittances, and applied on the indebt­ ed ncsa of the eounty to the state on two Covert- roads, partly in Barry and partly in two o(her countlea. The state did not send in ite accounts against ths eounty to be audited at the October ses­ sion of tbe board of supervisors, in or der that.lho eounty might have paid the bill in the usual way; but, after the board of • supervisors ha<l adjourned, notice wa* reerived that Barry eounty uedllcd with |S,000 for but the County Road Commission wa* shy just that amount whieh they should have receiveil aad would have applied upon maintenance of the roads'of Bar­ ry eounty at a time when it was most needed.

We know, td», that religion i* not only the cure for crime, but would, if embraced wholeheartedly by peop'c who hold thcmMives slgof from crime and crim­ inals, work a marvelous enre for the moral and economical ills of society. Interesting Fact* Were Brought Out in the Discussion of the New Laws Lloyd Goodrich, Assistant Superin­ tendent of 1‘uhlic Instruction, was the speaker at Qfe meeting held in this city one day last week of the.dlstriet school torium *f the Methodist chtireh. There were about 200 district officer* present at the forenoon and afternoon stesians. Some vi>ry important matter* were brought out by Mr. Goodrich in hi-sdiaI'ussion of changes in the school laws, made by tho last legislature. A commendable change was ia tho manner of keeping district record*. New forms have been devised so that there shall be a uniform system of accounting in every aehoo) district. This will bo both efficient and economical in handl ing school funds and make it much easier for the JStatp Department of Education to get needed statistics. Mr. Gooi^rich explained the change made in the primary school law by tho laat legislators, whereby 5 per ecat of the total fund is set aside a* n special fund to be used in aid of poorer dis­ tricts, in order to'help them maintain their school*. At least three district* in Barry county will be benefited by this new provision of tho primary law. They are the Pinery and KHn'ifcnsndth district* in Yankee Spring*, and the Brush Ridge district bf Hope. Another provision of-the new schorl law is that where a school district haa issued bond*, and finds that at ^ho time of th*ir maturity it is ‘unable to pay them in full, the district officers can is­ sue new bond* to replace them without a vote of the district. ' Tho new law define* a legal high school, and provide* for tho payment athigh school tuition to. certain high schobls outside of Michigan. A legal high school must include (a) an ap­ proved graded fchool of twelve grades, with st least three teachers for grade* seven to twtAvc, inclusive; (b) an ap­ proved graded school of twelve grades with nt least two teachers for grades nine to twelve inclusive; (e) an ap­ proved graded school of nine grades, with at least one teacher for grades seven to nine inclusive; (d) nn ap­ proved graded school of ten grades, district to pay'high school tuition to any high school that does not come DR.

No appropria­ tion was made for these items, except ns the road and bridge committee war authorised to transfer from trunk line No. 70, a sufficient sum to take care of snow removal. The matter rests there. It I* proper to suggest at this time that the county made provisions utt its October session for the payment of Covert rond bond* due this year, *151, 000.

And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe ly­ ing in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

MOT The trade mark was Invented dur­ ing a time of grand colonisation. A business house in Cathago Nova (Carthagena), which manufactured a de­ * h sauce and sent it to aU the world in hermetically sealed pitchers, burnt nine stars into the containers. The nine stare were the emblem of the sacred fish, the dolphins. A big lamp factory in the Homan Rhineland adorned all Its lamps with tha utensils of ay« spcctallata—which those people who used the lamps should ever come to know I Advertising, of course, grew more and more luxurious. It was a favorite child of commerce in Imperial Rome. Doxena of the best painters and sculp­ tors worked for the wool kings, silk houses, and the big weapon factories which grew up like mushrooms wbereever the Roman armies advanced. People vied with one another in erecting altars to the protectors of trade and navigation; but on these al. tare they inscribed the names and trade at aa a maana of tha the ilnnnra donors, as means at of advertising.. The Homan business men were ns though selxed by a fever of Plani Relatione competition.

This statuette is an exact copy of the famous Venus, and like the original. It has no arms. Doctor Edde therefore concludes that the Venus de Milo never at any time had arms, and bo believes that the sculptor, when bo had carved out of stone such a divine form, gave up all idea of adding arms. ..When the Venps de Milo was discov­ ered on the island of MUo a large re_ __________ find the arms, but, in spite of extenlive search, KAfhln. nothing waa waa fllamvared. discovered.

They gnht their mjsteaapee almost entirely from air, suashine and water, trad take practically no mineral elements or forfllldvg riements from the soil. There can hr «o question but jhat the fart that oiir country is now produc­ ing many hftwdred million* of pounds of beet sugar -has hod a good deal to do with kseolag the price of sugar with­ in reasonable liinita. That has been done hy the means of tho tariff. When a crop" will grt the producer a profit, and nt the time not take any forllliriug or mineral elements from the soil, ths growing of such a crop ought to bo encouraged. The greatest difficulty with tin- raidng of sugar beets is the amount of Jnbof required to take care of them. However, improved machinery is accomplishing mUtb toward reducing the labor so that larger acreages of sugar beets will soon be grown.

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.
