Simple goiter, no rontmon in Michi unn, ia entirely preventable. It i» not n diaeaee, it i» nn enlargement of thethyroid gland caused by a Inch of lodin in tho dint. lodin ia na yiwnntial to the glands of tho body ■* iron for the Mood nn-l lime for tho bone*. A very email amount of icxlin ia suflicient, three-hundredths of A gram supplies tho hodily requirements for month". This ia stared in tho thy­ roid gland which ia located acrons the windpipe. Thia gland hn« a grant deal to do with controlling the. growth of thn body, thn development of tho nerv­ ous ayntom, nnd tho energy output. Hut while the amount of iodin re quirad by the body ia very small, it is apparently absolutely nm-e-wary. When it L« not fttrniahyd the thyroid gland appears to try to make up for the Inch of lodin by doing additional work, nnd in doing thia ia it gradually enlarges. Thia enlargement is most likely to oc­ cur at thn time of adolescence, during pregnancy, nt tho menopause, or at any limo when oxerwvo strain i.« placed upon tho system. The swelling of the glnnd may bo so small as to lie unnnticoablo but may at tho same time be accompanied by dis­ turbances in tho nutrition of tho body causing the person to bo norvotji nnd irritable or inactive nnd dull. Tho body secures it* iodin supply from focal and water. In Michigan, tho soil and water are decidedly lacking in iodin, consequently tho focal nnd water supplies nre deficient in this element, and the result ia a high percentage of simple goiter. A recent survey of our counties in the state, including analysis of tho drinking water supplies and examination of the school children, showed n gradual' decrease from south to north In the lodin content of the water, with n corresponding increase in the frequency of goiter. Moreover, the refinement of salt eliminates many of thn iodids contained in the crude product, nnd this is said to lie one of tho principal contributory causes of tho increase of thyroid en­ largements in tho United States. y Prevalence of Simple Goiter. ’ Countries bordering on thn sen nre practically Tief'From simple goiter, ns the sen foods furnish the necessary lodin. .

New and supremely beautiful bodies by Fisher! And, above all, infinitely finer quality—the result of a host of additional im­ provements such as AC oil filter, AC Air cleaner, coincidental steer­ ing and ignition lock, larger 17 in. steering wheel, gasoline guage and many, many others! All this is combined to a supreme degree in the long famous lead­ er of the Chevrolet line—the Coach. It would be a brilliant achieve­ ment for any manufacturer merely to design such a splendid car to sell at any reasonably low price. But to sell it at the amazing price of $595 is a feat of history making proportions. This one price reduction alone would suffice to center world-wide attention on Chevrolet. But due to economies of tremendous production plus the vast resources of General Motors, Chevrolet also announces striking price reductions on other models. For years Chevrolet has led the world in providing Quality at Low Cost. But now with a new and more beautiful car—with a car z infinitely finer in quality and greatly lower in price, Chevrolet stands supreme and unchallenged in dollar-for-doliar valuo! No matter in what price class you intend to buy or whether you plan to spend more or less than the price of a Chevrolet, come in today and see the mdst beautiful low priced Coach ever designed. Admire its marvelous style and grace! Mark its many new fine-car features! Learn for yourself by personal inspection why, at its new low price, it is the greatest sensation of America’s greatest industry!

Tirestone Extra Gum-Dipping Process The greatest enemy to tire life is not the chopped-up road, the broken pave­ ment or the harsh grind of rough city streets—but heat, which is created by internal friction. Heat not only weak­ ens the fabric, but also softens the rub­ ber and causes blowouts and tire fail­ ure. Gum-Dipping is the only known method which carries the rubber insu­ lation to the heart of every cord; sur­ rounding and impregnating each C0141 and strand, giving them protection from frietion and the strength to withstand the greatest flexing strain. .

Not a penny of it has been sent outside the county to help build up some other center nt the expense of this. That the Association is operating on a sound, safe basis, is proven by the fact thnt in addition to paying it* five per cent interest from tho time the As­ sociation was organized right up to tho present in addition it ha* created a surplus of nearly >1,100. That i* not large to be sure, but at the same time i* large enough to show that tho Build­ ing A Loan is "playing safe” and in on the right track.

You have never used a motor oil like it—because it is some­ thing entirely new and entirely different! Did you know that ordinary motor oils lose twothirds in viscosity—which is their lubricating effi­ ciency—before the car has gone 200 miles? The fact is startling—but true! Iso-Vis is different. It maintains its viscosity, or lubricating efficiency. Whether it’s the first mile or the thousandth—whether it’s winter or sum­ mer—Iso-Vis is of correct viscosity. For extremely cold weather Iso-Vis “Light” is recommended. Iso-Vis costs a little more than ordinary motor oils, but it is true economy to buy Iso-Vis, It will protect the engine thoroughly and save you money in repair bills. The joys of motoring are multiplied when the engine is efficiently and thoroughly lubricated. Get Iso-Vis or Iso-Vis “Light!’ You’ll like it! 30c per Quart Iso-Vis “F” for Fords Dr. Gao. W.

Heat not only weak­ ens the fabric, but also softens the rub­ ber and causes blowouts and tire fail­ ure. Gum-Dipping is the only known method which carries the rubber liuulation to the heart of every cord; sur* rounding and impregnating each cord and strand, giving them protection from friction and the strength to withstand the greatest flexing strain.

Iso-Vis lubricates the engine thomile of the trip—every day in the year. When tne weather is extremely cold, Iso-Vis “Light” should be used. IsoVis is an efficient motor oil It is on the iob the moment the engine starts. It slays on the Job —protects the engine— maintains its* viscosity— until it is drained off!

Last month tho Republican p ria ted * statement by a farmer that pheasant* are a detriment to farmer* and that ho would- not complain of anyone caught shooting them. Before the paper had been out an hour tho statement wa* challenged nnd an article from tho American Field wa* presented in reply. Wo quote be­ low tho part which directlv answer* thc complaint against tho bird* made by tho farmer: One development that must bo guard­ ed against after accomplishing thc successful introduction of a now »l»ecics of game is a seemingly inevit aide prejudice thnt develops in thc mind* of agriculturist*. ,1 recall very plainly thc unfavorable., sentiment de­ veloped against tho Chinese pheasant shortly after it* introduction in Ore­ gon, a sentiment that led to tho un­ warranted slaughter of thousands of these fine game birds. Since that period scientific research­ es by that state and by tho Biological Survey plainly showed the pheasant to be a benefactor of the fanner rath­ er than a menace, so much so that Oregon propagate* and release* thou­ sand* of pheasant* each year on agri­ cultural territory and tho agricultur 1st* take a pride in an abundance of this game on their lands. As a matter of fact, investigations in the northwest revealed thnt young pheasants not more than three weeks old wore destroying daily as many ns POO lull-grown mosquitoes, thank* to an inherent prcdclintion of these inscctivornu* snipes of thc swnmp*. On certain lands in Washington pheasant* were accused of thc de­ struction of young plant*, ni tabage, in particular. At once a number of agriculturist* declared a han on these bird*. Unquestionably pheasants fre­ quented these fields and apparently they were tho culprit*. However, one farmer mure observant than his neigh­ bors, detected a number of small whitethroated birds, specie* undetermined, busily engaged in destroying the tender plant*, and further investigations proved conclusively thnt .these were the actual desttoyingtagent*. Thi* season I opened thc crops of » considerable number of gsrtic."birds— pheasant*. Hungarian partridge* ami California valley quail. Let me add that nil were killed on northwestern ground*. I found a few kernel* of garden peaa in almost every crop, a small amount of clover or other green feed in all. a few dozen kernels of wheat or oat* in a number, while the rent of their contents consisted mostly of weeds, seeds and inaccts. In propor­ tion to their size thc crop* of valley quail contained immense numbers of mii'tnrd seed, in some instance* a* mnny as a thousand. Inasmuch ns at that particular *caaon. crop* had just boon harvested nnd n great amount of waste grain wn* accessible, it is reas­ onable to assume that more* grain would be saten then by game bird* than nt any other period during thc rear. However, even if wo assume that some damage is done to crops by I he various species of game birds, in farm economic* alone they arc an as­ set to the farm. NASHVILLE. Mr*.

Gives You Satisfaction Iso-Vis overcomes the lubrication difficulties that have annoyed you in the past Iso-Vis is a revo­ lutionary motor oil—different from all others— developed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to meet the new theory of scientific lubrication. Iso-Vis solves the old problem of dilution. Ordi­ nary motor oils thin out after a few hundred miles of motoring. Iso-Vis does not! It is always the same. The viscosity of Iso-Vis is always right— hot weather or cold. In extremely cold weather, Iso-Vis “Light" is recommended. An engine lubricated with Iso-Vis is lubri­ cated thoroughly and efficiently— from start to finish. You don’t have to overwork the choke. Iso-Vis circulates through the lubricating system the moment the engine starts. Iso-Vis gives you the satisfaction of easier start­ ing — smoother running — and less repair bills. It is an economical motor oil — costs only a few cents more than ordinary oils.

The Service of Science "Research has graduated from a tiling of pure •dence and abstract theorizing into a full partner­ ship with practical industry." This significant statement, made by Industrial Management, is illustrated by conditions in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) where research is recognized as a definite unit animating and influencing the activities of the business. Chemist* and other research engineers, working In the well-equipped laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are striving constantly io develop new and better products from crude petroleum. Practical business men and scholarly scientists work together in Hie Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to serve the people of the Middle Went. The result of this remarkable partnership Is an efficient organization that is progressing in step with the advancement of knowledge. New principles and new proctasea are replacing the old. New products are appearing. Competition is growing keener. A buxines* must be "on its toes" if it is to sufvlve. • Scientific work which may seem theoretical and unnecessary to the unenlightened is really the most practical and vital part of industry. The management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always has realized the Importance of research and the scientific method. Today the products of Use- Standard Oil Company (Indiana), its processes and its methods of manu­ facture represent the application to industry of the most advanced technical information. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) recognizes the service of science in devising methods to elimi­ nate waste, to minimize lost motion, to develop new products to meet new needs, to make the raw material yield the utmost in the shortest time and to low er substantially its costs of production. Through the practical application of science to industry, the Standaid Oil Company (Indiana) has been able to do a big job in a big way; it ha. made the stock of the Company attractive to share­ holders from the viewpoint of profit and safety; and it has supplied the petroleum products needed to meet the ever-growing demands of the thirty million people of the'Middle West in a way to merit and win their confidence, respect and esteem.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9. 1927 M'GERRY LAND COMPANY AL-GON-QUIN NEVERS AGAIN LAKE PROPERTIES Michigan’s Finest Resort , Development - , NEVER AGAIN—ON THIS GREAT DEVELOPMENT WILL THE PEOPLE OF HAS­ TINGS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY LOTS AT THESE PRICES, AND AT DOWN PAYMENTS WITHIN THE REACH OF EVERYONE. WE do not believe there are many Citizens of Hastings who can afford to pass up this offer. It represents not only the greatest resort development that the State of Michigan has ever seen, but at prices actually one-half their True Value. Investigate Al-Gon-Quin Lake Prop­ erties at once and if this isn’t the Best Opportunity to assist the growth of Hastings you have ever had,' and at the same time to make a handsome profit for yourself—THEN our advice to you is to just leave it alone. If this isn’t the best chance to increase the popula­ tion of Hastings by several thousand permanent summer residents, then don’t do anything to assist in this development. CONTRACTS LET- Work Now Started Bathing Beaches —Good, hard, sandy bottom beaches, running from___ . to a distance of 120 feet out into the lake before the water get* to be six feet deep—with a wonderful roped off place for the Kiddies—with roped off deep diving boards—and danger guides. No inland lake will be able to boast of better or safer Bathing Beaches. Entrance Piers —Under construction, are of solid stone masonry, designed by Chas. Norton, Architect Michigan Trust Building, Grand Rapids—12 feel base, 21 feet high—under two year contract by John Young, Hastings, Mich. M. M. Field Training Camp —At the cost of approximately $25,000 Contract now let; to bo built under supervision of the MeGerry Land Company, using local labor and material. Work to start at once; building to be completed under con­ tract by May 15, 1927. Water color picture on display in the window of Frandsen's Big Store. To be constructed on Lot No. 56, Unit No. 1, Al-Gon-Quin Lake Properties. Unit No. 2 and bordering on three sections of the lake—already platted and part­ ly staked out—and will be available for sale to oul-of-the-city guests within 15 days. Prices to range from $500.00 to $1,000.00. OPEN EVENINGS UNTIL NINE O’CLOCK Hastings Office Bessmer Building Dial 2575 NO factory or group of factories could possibly assure Hastings of the speedy growth that this great project will do—EVEN WERE THE FACTORIES OBTAINABLE, they would not be a sure thing after they got here, and statistics show that out of only 75 factories in the entire United States that were open for negotiations during 1926, over three thousand cities considerably larger than Hastings, with greater sources of raw and manufactured materials, skilled labor and the best of shipping facilities were bidding against each other to LAND these factories. Grand Rapids didn’t land, so where could be the chances of Has­ tings? This information should be easily obtainable either at the Hastings Credit Exchange or at any Chamber of Commerce—find out for yourselves—THEN—we BELIEVE that every BROAD MINDED, STRAIGHT-THINKING Citizen of Hastings will back this project to the limit, instead of expecting a few of the far-seeing, substantial busi­ ness men and women to do it all. Are YOU on our list of the people who are will­ ing to make Hastings a bigger and better city? We are not asking donations, like you would have to make if you procured a factory, only that you support the project by reserving at least one lot, either for investment - or your own pleasure, and WE ARE MEETING YOU HALF WAY IN CUTTING THE PRICE IN TWO AND PLACING THE TERMS WITHIN THE REACH OF EVERYONE.

The seed Is smaller than the common Sweet Clover so that it only requite three-fourths as much seed or from 8 to 10 pounds per acre. It is a wonderful seeder producing an average of 80 bushel* per acre. Test* have proven that this seed will produce a vigorous growth on sand, clay, loam or muck soil.

Dependability It was Dodge Brothers distinction, twelve years ago, to create a more dependable car in its price class than previously had been known. This enviable leadership Dodge Brothers have rigidly maintained. Wherever difficult conditions try the souls of men and the stamina of motor cars, you will find Dodge Brothers product foremost in favor. * You will find also that six, eight and even ten years of service are not exceptional for the car; that fre­ quently it delivers mileage running well into six figures; and that maintenance cost is remarkably low throughout its long and useful life. These (acts powerfully witness Dodge Brothers success in constantly bettering a product that was exceptional even at the start HORSES. Gray gelding, 7 years old, wt. 1730.

What question did the rich The benefit* to the entire world from the de­ velopment of transportation on land and sea are appreciated by every thoughtful person. Swift train* and ocean liners have reduced dis­ tances on our earth, bringing about a shrinking of the world for purposes of commerce and communi­ cation. and making possible tbe present stale of our dvl'ization. The use of the sir for transportation marks a n*wera in the history of the world. It I* man's most aensatkxud triumph over the elements. • For centuries men dreamed of flying, but the natural law of gravity proved an obstacle unlike anything encountered on land or sea. Finally science triumphed and the obstacle wa* overcome. With the first controlled flight of Orville Wright on Dec. 17. 1903, mon entered a new ele­ ment, beginning the conquest of the air. During the first decade of the 20th century, the pioneering work in aviation was done. Roughly speaking, the speed of the airplane hu been increased ui the rate of 60 miles per hour every four years since 1910. Designers have increased tbe climbing power* and fuel capacity of their machine*. They have improved the ease of control and the rapidity of manoeuvre. Rapid improvement in reliability ha* Sensational record* of performance have been established—the flight around the world waa per­ haps lite most gripping and appealing to the imagina­ tion. • Today Kris possible to fly around the earth I During thkJOth century distances on our globe are being reduced startlingly by aviation. For all practical purposes the world is growing smaller. The importance of this shrinking of the world, to industry and to the welfare of mankind gener­ ally, is appreciated by the Standard Oil Company The Food-Tonic Of Special Value To Mother and Child For the euccesa of Hi own business and in the Ihtcrest of the thirty million people whom It serves, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) give* Ita support to the development of aviation, believing that ai distances are diminished, with the shrink­ ing of the world, understanding and prosperity will be increased.

This important step that has the approval of the manufacturing scientists of the oil industry makes possible a new and superior gasoline--a gasoline so far reaching in pro­ viding a better motor fuel that it is nothing less than imperative that it be given a name distinguishing it from gasoline that docs not measure up to its standards.

In the face of the first real cold weather and storms in many places, its sales in many points exceeded those of July, when gaso­ line sales always reach their peak. And it is still going strong. Marland Pressure Gasoline has made good because of its seven outstanding features— No Knock, More Miles, More Power, Less Carbon, Less Dilution, Quick Starting— At No Greater Cost.

Ea*y to Make.—No simpler meth­ od. Requires no experience. Without worrying, watching, waiting, boiling, timing; without doing anything but to put in the right proportions of coffee and water, the TRICOLATOR will make for any one a pot of marvelous coffee. 6. Maximum Flavor.—By holding back, in its filter, all undesirable elements, the TRICOLATOR extracts the maximum flav­ or from the coffee. 7. Made Quickly.—The fact, not known to ever)' one, is that finished coffee is made more quickly in a TRICOLATOR than in any other way. No repouring is necessary. 8.

Delightful Arom^.—The fragrance of TRICOLATOR-made coffee is distinct from and superior to any other. The TRICOLATOR extracts the aroma-giving, vola­ tile substance below boiling temperature, while the insoluable fats, which injure the delicacy of the aroma, are held back by the fibre silk filter.

It is different / It meets the new theory of scientific lubrication — as no other motor oil ever has done. There was one big trouble with motor oils of the past They thinned out. The best of them losttwo-thirds of their lubricating efficiency before the car had gone 200 miles! No one knew what to do about it Experts were baffled. Motorists were bothered. This dilution diffi­ culty caused endless trouble—and repair bills. Finally the problem was solved by the lubricating, engineers of the . Standard Oil Company (Indiana.) A new motor oil was developed. A motor oil of constant viscosity —Iso-Vis! This new motor oil does not thin out It lubricates the engine thoroughly — the thousandth mile as efficiently as the first! In cold weather as efficiently as in hot! In extremely cold weather, Iso-Vis “Light" should be used. The engine is protected completely —and constantly— when it is lubri­ cated with Iso-Vis. This means two important benefits to you — smoother motoring —and fewer repair bills. Iso-Vis "F” for Fords.

DETROIT Supremacy Maintained through Features which Established Ford Leadership LEFT-HAND DRIVE— r MULTIPLE DISC-IN-OIL CLUTCH— Left-hand drive was originally introduced by Henry Ford on the Model T car in 1908. It caused a mild sensation in the motoring world, accustomed to nothing but right-hand drive and control—a fea­ ture adopted from abroad where the rules of the road are to drive to the left. The advantages of left­ hand drive seemed so obviously better for the driving requirements of this country that the change was made. What has followed since in the industry, is a matter of common knowledge. The multiple disc clutch is generally conceded among engineers to be the best, the smoothest, and the most reliable type for any car. The Ford multiple disc clutch has the further advantage of operating in a bath of oil. This complete and continuous lubrication assures smooth, silent action and extreme* ly long life. The Ford clutch is so simple and reliable that many Ford owners have driven for years without being so much as conscious of its presence in the mechanism of their cars. THREE POINT MOTOR SUSPENSION— This type of construction was first used by Henry Ford in 1903, and has been a feature of the Model T power plant for eighteen years. The two rear supporting brackets of the engine are fastened to the frame, while the front bearing or trunnion, is designed to allow sufficient movement to compensate for any twisting of the frame caused by road irregularities, thus protecting both the crankcase and crank­ shaft from distortion, and minimizing the possibility of repairs due to misalignment of engine bearings. The three-point principle is used throughout the car, including front and rear axles. DUAL IGNITION SYSTEM— Dual ignition is provided for Ford cars, (1) the Ford magneto and (2) the generator and storage bat­ tery. This has been a great factor in establishing the Ford reputation for reliability. Even in remote sections where there is no battery service, the Ford owner may use his car without interruption—the magneto making him independent of battery current. Elimination of the magneto would reduce Ford production costs—but again Ford standards specify the additional value. PLANETARY TRANSMISSION— This transmission costs more to build than the six-cylinder car built in 1907. It was so successful that adopted for the Model T car. The Ford planetary transmission is the ideal speed control for • light car. It gives complete control through foot pedals and leaves the driver’s hands free to manip­ ulate the steering wheel. Since the gears are constantly in mesh, there is no possibility of clashing; speed changes are made instantly and noiselessly. This transmission costs more to build than the con­ ventional sliding gear type but is used because of its superiority. THERMO-SYPHON COOLING SYSTEM— 3* 1 The circulation of water in Ford cars is entirely governed by engine temperature—the flow starting as the motor warms, and being most rapid at the points of greatest heat. On Cold mornings the Ford engine warms up quickly, because the water does not circulate from the cylinder block until it becomes heat­ ed. In hot weather, too, the Ford cooling system is equally efficient, for the capacity of the radiator is unusually large in proportion to the heating surface of the cylinders. Since there is no water pump re­ quiring frequent need for packing, the Ford cooling system is exceedingly simple and always efficient. SIMPLE, DEPENDABLE LUBRICATION— '''' H The Ford lubricating system is the simplest used on any automobile. The oil in the flywheel chamber is splashed over the clutch and all transmission gears by the movement of the fly-wheel. Some of this oil finds its way through a tube to the timing gears at the front of the motor and thoroughly lubricates them. Returning along the base of the motor to the fly-wheel chamber, it is picked up by the connect­ ing rods which turn this oil into a spray that lubricates the camshaft, pistons and all other moving parts. TORQUE TUBE DRIVE­ Henry Ford originated the Torque Tube in 1908. It is simply a heavy tube that surrounds the drive shaft which transmits the power from the motor to the rear wheels. The driving push is carried by this tube from the rear axle to a point forward on the chassis. By use of this construction the rear spring does not take any of the driving thrust and is free to act solely as a flexible support for.the car body. ; OTHER IMPROVED FEATURES OF THE NEW MODEL 1927 FORD: A wider service brake takes full advantage of the larger road contact of balloon tires. ing action and longer life.

New emergency brake shoe; U/t inches wide, 11 inches in diameter. brake lining. New The coil box has been placed on the left hand side of the motor making it unnecessary for anyone to get inside the car when making adjustments. The gasoline tank—of greater capacity— instead of being under the front seat ia now beneath the cowl, where it affords an even flow of gasoline on any incline. It can be filled from tbe outside, making it unnecessary for the front seat occupants to get up. The new position makes it possible to provide low* Pressed steel, faced with asbestos By mounting the wheels higher on the axle, the improved Ford sets closer to the ground. The gasoline sediment bulb, usually difficult of access, haa been conveniently located under the hood. A twist of the hand cleans it. New improved light weight pistons removes vibration and gives an increase of power. “Ford has never lowered the quality of the car to reduce the price” ' * ■ ■ ’ . ■ ’ * If you with to be assured of prompt delivery of your Ford Car .this Spring it will be well for you to place, your order at once! ~ • • THE UNIVERSAL GARAGE COMPANY PHONE 2121 HASTINGS, MICHIGAN PHONE 2121 � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/19/454/HastingsBanner_1927-03-02.pdf b74d06a9c0143d0b0cbc0b506d26e0a9 PDF Text Text Hastings banner the < SEVENTY-FIRST YEAR PAGES 1 to 6 HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, MARCH 2, 1927 18 PAGES FRANCIS ANGELL WON FARMERS REPORT ACTS Ilf] PKT Ilf Mill I OB.

The statistical table of the number of deaths in Michigan due to appendi­ citis during the ln«t five years furnish interesting rending and much food for thought both to the medical profession nnd laity. - Examination of this table thows that in five years 1921 to 1925 in­ clusive there were 3132 ' deaths, a vearly average of 626 death*. In 1921 there were 603 death* while in 1925 wore 729 death*. In 1®21 Barry counly'Tkad four deaths, in 1922 six deaths, in 1923 one denth, in 1024 four deaths, in 1925 four death* making a total of nineteen death* for the five years. Estimated in population thi* mean* 18.4 death* for 100,000 of population. Of the 09 countie* covered by thia tablo fifty one hnd a lower death rale than Barry nnd only seventeen hnd a higher. Thi* places Barry in fifty recond place. Not nu enviable position surely. SHEEP SPECIALIST MAKES DEMONSTRATIONS Tho great majority of those cates, perhaps nil should not have died.

The sun has again been to its lowest point and while we still have snug winter weather it will not be long before every farmer will be expecting spring time, which means sowing time. With knowledge of the fact that rawing time i» approaching you no doubt have pondered and studied on the question of What Crops To Raise In the Season 1927! Cftie^uper^ixPrinciple jreedto the[unit J-PASS. 6F.DAN, $175# S As a rule, your main item in crops is the revenue you receive for raising. In determining this revenue you consider three things. The possibilities of yield per acre, selling price and market at harvesting time. In this connection we are glad to advise the farmers of Barry and adjoin­ ing counties, that we are again ready to present you with a proposition which we ask that you consider in making your plans on what to raise dur­ ing 1927. We now have stations, which assure you of a market, at the fol­ lowing places:—Hastings, Nashville, Freeport, Delton, Woodland, Alto and Middleville—where you can take your product and receive the cash on de­ livery on a guaranteed price, with seed furnished FREE. 0 and Beauty to Match Its Matchless Performance The seven body styles crested for the new Hudson Super-Six have shared equally with its brilliant new performance in iu enormously successful reception everywhere shown. At the New York Show and all subsequent Automobile Shows the Hudson-Essex exhibit has outdrawn any other by two. and three to one. It is the high point of the year in interest, discuision and sales activity. HUDSON Super-Six OTHER HUDSON MODELS SuaJsrA MsAth COACH IlDAH . . . . . - . - Cuttf Bsilt MsJtlt ** (HICHAM All frittl f. S. >. Dttrtlt Walton’s Garage PHONE 2373 HASTINGS, MICH This solves the two problems mentioned above, your selling price and market; As to the yield per acre, this depends largely on-the following: Mainly, > the nature of the soil, manner of cultivation to conserve moisture and kill weeds, the amount of plant food in the soil to grow good, healthy plants that will grow quick, which will be more apt to throw off disease and pro­ duce more abundantly in the twelve weeks in which you grow and harvest the pickle crop. In brief, by securing a pickle contract you have a guaran­ teed price, a guaranteed market, with seed furnished free and a twelve week’s crop with cash on delivery.

Sleep Disturbed I We take great pleasure in announcing to the Business Men, Citizens of Hastings, and Farmer Friends in Barry County that a new organization has been developed and is now located in the building formerly owned by the Michigan Piston Ring Company. The name of the new corporation is the “AGRICULTURAL SERVICE COMPANY." Motto of said corporation is “Serve the Farmer.” The purpose is to manufacture a Plant Setter, invent­ ed and worked out by the president of the company, Simon W. Vollink. This corporation is composed of Hastings men and farmers, and you might say, bom in Hastings, and is desirous of locating in Hastings, with the earnest wish to operate under the ethics of a bigger and better Hastings. The directors of this company invite every one to come and look at our finished product now on exhibit in the new store building of the R. C. Fuller Lumber Co., located on Michigan Ave.* North. We have inquiries from eight states of |he Union on this machine which convinces us of great market pos­ sibilities on this product. We are asking the co-operation of the people of Barry county, both morally and as an investment proposition. Will you come down and investigate the possibilities and practicality of this new ma­ chine, and also our plans of procedure of development. We have already the assurance of a lot of encouragement as to co-operation, and if same continues Hastings may have the promise of a new industry with good possibilities Again we ask you to lopk us up. publication of AGRICULTURAL SERVICE CO PHONE 2521 la tha city rf Ha>tlC|i. before tba :*lb of 4 that aa!4 aUlaa will '-sr.rar.s.r P.

You may have been a Ford owner for year* and think you are familiar with the splendid satisfaction which the Ford gives, and yet unless you have made it a point to examine the Ford Car as it is BUILT TODAY—to drive it and note its improved engine performance—relax in it over rough roads, and experience the increased comfort which it af­ fords, and to learn of the many recent improvements, you do not know the Ford Car as it is built today. ■it” ■ik SUGAR DIABETES 4 Many of the new Ford Car features are obvious—bal­ loon tire equipment—wire wheels—pyroxlin finish—a choice of colors—improved upholstery, etc., but the big satisfaction to you, as the owner of Today’s Ford Car is to be found in the way in which it will fulfill your expecta­ tions of what a modern motor car should be. You will be amazed at the increased power resulting from the new Vaporizer, the smoother engine operation, the increased gasoline mileage, the improved riding qualities, and above all, in the way in which this car handles and performs in traffic, and on the open road.

Or LOCAL FUEL DEALERS A Mail Carrier’s Experience with ISOVIS Mud was up to the hubs for miles—the car had to plough through on low—yet the motor was not heated—because the engine was lubricated with Iso = Vis. This experience is told in a letter received by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) from a rural mail Carrier. . Charleston, Ma, Jan. 3, 1927. Standard Oil Company, St. Louis, Ma Gentlemen: I feel that I owe your Company a letter of praise for the perfect satis­ faction your new oil Iso-Vis has given me. I am a rural carrier and the time I changed to this new oil, the roads were in the worst condition they have been in for years. I drove my car in first and second gear with mud up to the hubs for miles without heating my motor the least bit I am also having a much easier time starting as the motor does not get stiff with Iso - Vis. I having been using Red Crown-Ethyl gas ever since it appeared in ourfilllng stations here. The two products make a splendid combination. I am a satisfied customer. Louis E.

A motor oil so extraordinary in the results it gives that people voluntarily sit down end write enthusiastic letters of praise to the Company who produced it is worth trying out! Iso=Vis has revolutionized lubrication. It makes for easier starting—overcomes dilution troubles-and gives efficient lubrication every mile from the first to the thousandth! That is why enthusiasm over Iso-Vis is so general Try it once and you’ll see! . , Sturdiness and dependability made still more pronounced by vital betterments in body construction and in the pro­ peller shaft, differential and axle shafts.

Detroit Comfort - Convenience Economy and fieauty Over any type of road, the present Ford car travels with an ease and riding comfort that make* driving a constant pieazure* The Ford Tudor Sedan shown above, with low all-steel body, wire wheels and balloon tires which are standard equipment, and deeply upholstered seats, affords genuine comfort for five persons. The exterior finish of the Tudor as well as the Coupe arid Fordor is of Pyroxlin in Fawn Gray, Highland Green or Royal Maroon. The lustre of this smooth, satiny finish actually improves with the use of the car. Tho colors are attractively accent­ uated by pin-striping of contrasting shades. The upholstery harmonizes with the optional coloring, and a silken shade at the rear window adds to the inviting appear­ ance of the car. ' ' . r ♦ Among the numerous features of the all-steel Tudor Sedan are a gas tank filled through cowl opening, a one-piece windshield with hooded sun-visor, windshield wiper, rear view mirror, dash light, nickeled headlamp rims and radiator shell, starter and spare wire wheel. '. The greater gasoline mileage, plus the longer life made possible by all-steel construction, have given a new meaning to the term “Ford economy.” It is the least expensive automobile to buy and operate—literally within the reach of everyone-— without entailing a financial burden. We urge you to have a demonstration of the Tudor Sedan or any other type your needs call for. Go in a critical mood. Check the type of Ford car you prefer for comfort, economy, convenience and attractive looks. You will be impressed by the quality of today's Ford car and how well it meets present motoring requirements. If you buy on a basis of VALUE, your choice will ‘ unquestionably be the Universal Car.

From all over the Middle West come letters commending the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), telling of the remarkable per­ formance of this new motor oil. The following letter is typical MOTORS PONT SEDAN - Iso “Vis has aroused enthusiasm because it solves the old dilution problem that has bothered motorists for years. The oil of the past lost two-thirds of its body, or viscosity before the car had gone 200 miles. Iso “Vis maintains constant viscosity. Iso-Vis is of the right body to make starting easier. After a thousand miles it is still of the right body, lubricating efficiently and completely.

Ford owners are continually being approached by automobile salesmen who wish to “accept” Fords as part payment on more expensive cars. It is perfectly logical that automobile dealers everywhere should be eager to trade with Ford owners. The Ford is the most popular automo­ biles in the world. No other used car is so easy to sell as a used Ford—because everyone has confidence in Ford Quality. And it is not ex­ pensive to rp-condition, since Ford replacement parts are lowest in price. Most automobiles carry greater discounts to dealers than the Ford—another reason why other dealers may offer the Ford owner a larger trade-in allowance. Creek Tuesday.

Tho snooker was CobgreMtnan Ketcham, who discussed the question of “Farm Relief” In a man­ ner that appealed to the members. Mr. Ketcham first called attention to the fact that there are probably 3,000 farmers in Barry county and at least 1,000 within the trading radius of Hea­ tings. If by any means 9100 wr gunum ran be added to tho yearly Income of the farmer, it is a matter of en»y calcu­ lation -to know whnt thi* would mean to thi* county nnd-do thi* city. The farmer i* like thn rest af us, he cannot spend money unless be got* it. Taking up tho question of whnt had boon done for other Industries than farming, Mr. Ketcham pointed out thnt the thing that manufacturers, for inktanee, seek to avoid I* glutting tho market. They trim their product* to ebrroapond to the demand. The farmer, however, i* not in n jmsition to do thnt, hcenuso «o tnnny clement* enter Into tho ranking of his crop.

A noticeable feature of thn olden day* wa* tho bittcrncs* with which members of one party spoke of the op­ posing party and it* principle*. It would seem, if there extract* were truthful, ns if there could be no pos­ sible chance for virtue in the opposing party; and yet wo nil know thnt that is no| true. Evidently the one who compiled this political scrap book wa* quite in favor of the Breenbaek party which nt one time carried Michigan, nnd wo find in n prominent plnec in the book a platform of principles adopted by the Greenback party of Michigan al Grand Rapid* on June 5, 1878. Among the plank* In the platform are there: ”1. Demand for the unconditional re.peal of the so-called resumption act.” ”2. The isiuc of ail paper money by the genera) government, instead of by the banks nnd the . government; and that, such government issued paper money be a full legal tender for all debt*, public nnd private.” “3.

The one mill tax whenever levied would not amount to very much to each tnx payer. If your asaeaaed valuation was 91.000.00 your extra tax would be but one dollar. The average tex payor of tho city pays on an assessed valua­ tion of about 91,800.00. Therefore to the average tax payer tho extra tax woflld be but 91.80, and surely it would seem that no citizen ’who had any inter­ est or love whatever for his home town could object, knowing that every eent of thia small tax would bo a direct lunefit not only to our eity but to them­ selves. The method of assessing tho cost of paving a* to percentages to tho proper­ ty owner* and to the city at large would nt large pay* for all grading and gravel­ ing, al«o 50 per eent of curb nnd gutter beside* all cost* of maintenance. It hns been suggested that a fair way would be to follow the state’* plan of paving 20 feet of the 4rect hnd the property oWher* shutting tho improve­ ment paying for the balance.

COUNCIL MAKES WISE PROVISION FOR FUTURE Seta Aside Fixed Sum for Wat­ er Works Beplacements to Save Bond Issue At thn council meeting Friday eve­ ning n resolution yns offered by Aider­ man J. J. Meade, providing, wherent the eity council now ha* power to pro­ vide for the establishment of different funds for the use ami benefit of the eity, thnt a new fund, to be known n* tho "Water Work*Replacement Fund" be added. The city begnn a year ngo to set aside tho aum of 12,000. to put in this fund each year for the purpose of replace­ ments. Thnt is, suppose one of the water worhs pumps should give out sud­ denly, or a boiler go to pieeoa, or the pipes in one of tho main lines bo rusted out so that they would no longer be able to function, it would entail a big expense to tho city and there would be no fund to get thit from, so it would inonn n bond issue. A* ia well under­ stood the Mayor nnd the present council arc not in favor of bond*. They hope to apt the- eity from interest bearing securities in the future. Therefore 12,000 wns set aside a rear ago and put into the Water Works Replacement Fund. It i* proposed to add to thia fund from time to time out of the water works revenues so that, when expen­ sive replacements arc required, the city will have money dhich the water work* Itself hn* earned with whieh to make tho replacements. We believe there will tie universal approval of thia very timely action of tho council. It i* just another evidence of. the thoroughness with whieh our city father* are looking after the city’a interest*. JOLLY BIRTHDAY CLUB. Mr*.

The government would not—ond no one would urge that It attempt—to fix price, because thnt Is an impossibility. But if it could secure a fair American A Frock to Wear When May Days Come that is consumed in America that would be the best thnt could be done. In his judgment that is what congress ought to atfompt to do. The lust bill which congress attemptci to pass, directed to that end, wns renlly nn effort to penal ire tho farmer who did not restrict his production. It requires OOO.OOO.OQO bushels of wheat to supply the Ameri­ can demand. At the present time if enough to supply tho dnmnn.l the price would be the world price for wheat, pins tho American tariff of 42c n bushel for wheat, which would bring the price up around *1.50 to <1.00 nt the present time. If the formers of this country rouhl be induced to. raise just thnt amount of wheat they would be better off, but a, that is not altogether within their con­ trol, and as tho tempation of high price is always an inducement to increase the crop for tho high priced product, the only way to prevent this big surplus* which wo now have oflwhent. as welll ns some other commodities, is to penal-1 ire the farmer* who miso more than I they should.

CHICKEN STEALING NOT SO POPULAR Following The Instructions Of The Presiding Judge At The Trial In Montcalm Circuit A ease that hn* attracted unusual interest, especially among the farmers of Michigan, han just closed in the Montcalm County circuit court. This was the case of tho people vs. L. J. Wilson, a prominent fnrmer of thnt county, who wns on trial charged with murder. It seems thnt thn farmers in this section had suffered more, or less from the raids of chicken thieves. Last November Mr. Wilson’* son saw three mon enter the poultry house, nnd im­ mediately notified his father. Mr. Wil­ son pulled down tho old shot gun, nnd reached his'chiekcn coop just in time to meet tho •on coining hut. lie called upon them to halt, hut they immediate­ ly started to run. Mr. Wilson fired and Theodore Rixbury, a former employee on Mr. Wilson’s fnrm, died from tho shot. Mr. Wilson wns arrested, charged with murder for tho reason that the men were running nwny at the time tho shot was flrod. Tho ease attracted unusual attention. In charging the jury Judge Hawley, be­ fore whom the cnse was tried, said that mnn has a right to protect hi* property. Tho thing to be decided was whether Mr. Wilson shot Mr. Rixbury to hold him for arrival of an officer, or whether he shot him in anger nnd revenge; thnt if the jury found thnt Mr. Wilson shot the chlekon thief to hold him for the nrrival of an officer they should bring in a verdiet of "not guilty." On the other hand, the Judge charged, if the shot was fired in anger and revenge, tho verdiet must be guilty. The jury was out 10 minutes and returned . n verdict of not guilty* So if you happen to havo tho old shot gun in your hands, when you see some contemptible ebieken thieves running away from your Coop, don’t get angry nbout it nt all, just dissipate any thought or idea of revenge. You might oven feel sorry for them while yon drew a good even "bead," in your determination to hit ’«m so thnt they-will "bo there" when the officer arrives. The chief thing of eourao ia to bit ’em so that you nre eorffldent they will "be there" when the officer comes. With a few verdicts like that, steal­ ing chickens will lose n lot of its popu­ larity.

AMERICAN INDUSTRIES HAVE COURAGE. The agricultural industry has hnd many problema to meet.

Tho oil industry has gone quietly about bettering its condition by every efficiency method it can devise. Tho timber Industry is starting in right from the growing of the tree, to place itself on a permanent and substantial baaia ia the future. The milling in- chemistry and engineering, is reducing its eost of production aa the most permanent fliethod of increasing its pro­ fits. Probably no branch of agriculture baa had more handicaps to contend with ainop tho war ended than have the silver producers. Not only has silver been low in price since the war, blit it now faces a crisis, due to the fact that India, the world’s greatest user of sil­ ver, has been considering changing it? monetary system from silver to gold, and dumping its silver on tho market to buy gold. Instead of lying down in tho face of aueh a prospective calamity, western miners are redoubling their efforts to find now ways to use silver, and thus maintain production and payrolls in their mines.

For this reason, he prediets that the safety movement of tho future will be primarily an executive interest, that it will have an intimate relation­ ship to production and the larger in­ terests df industry, that it will be edu­ cational, and thnt the results that will bo accomplished will be beyond belief viewed from our present point of view. This ia a broad-minded program for insurance companies to foster, and it is entitled to unstinted support and Co­ operation. Commenting on accident prevention from viewpoint of stock insurance com­ panies, Albert W.

WEDNEMDAT, APRIL 8. 1M7 SPECIAL DEMONSTRATION Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday APRIL 11th, 12th and 13th We extend a most cordial invitation to everyone in this community to visit our store during this demonstration. Ladies are especially urged to be present. On these dates a factory expert will be in our store to demonstrate the American Line of gasoline gas lighting, cooking and heating appliances including the famous Kitchenkook Stoves, Kampkooks, Radiant Heaters, Ready-Lite Lamps and Lanterns and copper coil water heaters. This well known line, which is backed by more than 30 years of manu­ facturing experience, brings A complete Gas cooking, lighting, heating service for homes without city Gas! Kitchenkook is not “just another oil stove". In fact it is not an oil stove at all. It is a gas stove which makes and burns its own gas from gaso­ line producing the hottest and fastest known cooking fire. Comparative tests made in a lead­ ing American University show that Kitchenkook is faster even than city gas — 50 to 100 per cent faster than kerosene stoves. KITCHENKOOK RANGE AMERICAN RADIANT HEATER A real gas heater. Built like and oper­ ates on the same principle as the Kitchenkook. Takes one minute to light it, immediately its warm cheer­ ful glow is felt in every part of the room. For cool mornings and even­ ings; as an auxiliary heater in extreme­ ly cold w'eather it has no equal. SEE THE KITCHENKOOK We want every housewife to see this beautiful white porcelain enamel range. It has four top burners, a fine large, porcelain lined oven. And it has a real broiler — something which, until now, has not been available to users of liquid fuel stoves. You must see this range in operation to appreciate the great advance which has been made in fine cook stoves. This is a reproduc­ tion of a photo­ graph made with the Kitchenkook burning — positive proof of Kitcheirkook safety. Kitchenkook is made in a large variety of models and sizes. There is a correct model for every re­ quirement. Fine, white porcelain enamel ranges with oven and broiler; ranges with low oven; beautiful cabinet models in grey enamel, worthy of the finest kitchen. Prices are surprisingly low. AMERICAN KAMPK00K America’s Favorite Camp Stove Here is a miniature range which folds up like a suit case. Just the thing for your holiday and week-end picnics, camping trip* etc. Has a fine folding oven built right into it. Tank is detachable which makes it easy and safe to fill. Has built-in pump and funnel. This is the genu ine American Kampkook — the stove that is used by more campers than all other camp stoves combined. —the wonder stcrve that'cooks and bakes faster than any other stove that you have ever seen; —the stove that’s all ready—-all burners—in one minute; ' —the stove in which burners turn on or off —the stove that does not soot utensils; like city gas after the first burner is lighted; —the stove which does not go out nor do the burners clog if food boils over; ■ —the stove that has no wicks or chimneys; —the stove that is faster than city gas and —the stove in which the, flamfe is always more economical than any other stove under control; you ever used. 3 Days Only-Don’t Miss This Opportunity! Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, April 11-12-13 We consider ourselves fortunate in being able to bring you this opportunity because this demonstration is one of only a few hundred similar demonstrations to be held in the entire U. S. this year. It does not matter whether or not you need a stove, heater, or lamp now. You will want to see this demonstration because you want to know about the latest and best in fine cook stoves, portable heaters, lighting equipment, etc. Don’t forget the days and dates. • , ,, GOODYEAR BROS.

An outstanding feature in annual report of the Industrial Aeeident Commission in California, is thn recommendation by thn Commission (the.public servant of people) thnt the state compensation insurance fund bo given a monopoly in writing work­ ing men'* compensation insurance in California. ' • Here we have a perfect illustration of the evolution of enlarged govern­ ment function* and the growth of officialism: Firat, a state law lays down a new rule for a man: second, the state goc* into competition with private Hteine**, thn* limiting tho field of private opportunity: third, the state creates a monopoly of a cer­ tain line of busincs* tu tho exclusion of nil private citizens; and, fourth, tho aumlier of public employee* i* greatly increased. V.hy should tho state, in a free coun­ try, attempt to crush tho business of it* private citizens! Why is it not bettor that the state fnnd be required to com­ pete with private companies, n* tho surest mean* of keeping the state irjsurancc activities in a healthy con­ dition, free from political dry rot thnt immediately afflict* nny monopolistic governmental function! One of the strongest argument* against enlarging the power of public official* U» monopolistic proportion« is the mere fort that the official* thornsclvea seek thi* enlargement of their authority/ It La ca*y for tho private citizen to give up rights; it ig hard for him to get them back. Tho minute ho clone* one nveanc of private enter­ prise, ho hn* limited hi* future, possi­ bilities by that much. Already the advocate* of *|Btc, insurance ore work­ ing hard to c»nU>li»h cgmpulsory auto­ mobile liability insurance; nnd imme­ diately that is done, we will see tho •amo drive made, first, to hove the state write the insurance in compe­ tition with private companies, and, second, to have the state create a monopoly of the business to the ex­ clusion of ) private companies. Thus, another branch of business would ba taken over by tho state to the exclusion of its private citizens, and to the en­ richment of thousands of now public officials. Every One Who Opens a Bank Account HELPS TO MAKE HIS TOWN RICHER AND HIMSELF MORE PROS­ PEROUS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONSTANTLY INCREASING BANK BALANCES. A dependable bank ia a necessity in every growing center, because it provides a clearing house for funds which are put to work in the interests of local business and farming enterprises. There is no one worth while in this community who does not want to add both to his own prosperity and to the public good. Therefore every pro­ gressive 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 the surrounding community 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.

Io ik.re Finding crude petroleum and converting it into fuel and lubricants for more than six and one-half million motor vehicles is only a part of the work of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) not only produces petroleum products of superior quality, but it distributes them to every corner of the territory it serves. On all the highways that weave an in­ tricate pattern over the ten great Middle Western States, the service stations of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are found supplying fuel and oil to the cars and trucks that pass. Nor does the service of the Standard Oil Company ^Indiana) stop with its own service stations. Thousands of garages, privately owned filling stations and curb pumps selling Standard Oil Company (Indiana) prod­ ucts dot the landscape of the Middle West. The company’s own trucks and tank wag­ ons carry its gasoline, lubricating oil and kerosene to the motorist and to the farmer —even to the tractor in the field when required. Employees of the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) are anxious to be helpful. Tliey are enthusiastic about their work. They do every job as if it were the only one they had to do. They take a personal pride in maintaining the reputation of the company of which they are a part. 29,573 men and women working with this spirit perform a task which is of fun­ damental importance in the lives of thirty million people in the Middle West.

Hall. �The Normal Waistline Much has been said, heard and writ­ ten about the tendency toward a re­ turn to the normal waistline and in the models for spring wear there arc many examples of the normal place­ ment or a suggestion thereof. Many dresses give evidence of this mounting line by the use of two belts, one at the normal waistline—the other a trifle lower. Seams and pin tucks are also used to show the raisud-waistline. Hips are slender nnd draped snugly. Freedom of Motion The newest spring modes offer plenty of comfort in the way of full­ ness in the skirt as most of the skirts are cither pleated in a novel way or gathered gracefully into the belt- In most instances, the skirt movement is from the side and also from the sides across the front. We’ve seen the influence of the Dlrectoire noted in many of the newest offerings for spring. It’s npt the strict Directoire, however, as it is modified by jabots, revere and short capes. The Roumanian, Russian nnd Afri­ can influence are also worthy of men­ tion as they are really quite prominent in every type of spring costumes. In our sauntering!! ini the shops and stores, we came across many sleeve­ less dresses and there ia evidently a tendency to return to this mode as we *-* >. noted it »_ in both evening and #por|g The tailored suit is most popular when it has a tuxedo jacket with vel­ vet collar and has braid bound edges. Another suit model that is really very new and seems much in demand has a hip length, straight sack coat, shawl collar, one button dosing and a cut­ away front. The skirts on these tailored suits are either plain or pleated and on several of the newest suits we saw two skirts, I one of striped material and the other plain to match the coat. There is much | contrast in color and fabric between, the coat and skirt and important de-1 rails of the suit mode are pleatings,! tuckings, eordlngs, tiers, bolero backs,1 yokes and belts. Blouses Stage a Comeback Because of the akiyt knd jacket vogue that is being accepted so uni­ versally and gladly this spring, the separate blouse is coming into its own again. Black nnd black with white is an important spring combination; while alone, gray, blues, greens, brown and] tan mixtures and reds in the brighter 1 while strutting blithely over the links. Sports Wear Stunning Sportswear has taken such a firm hold on every phase of the mode that the designers this spring have laid : much stress upon it. The most im­ portant' sports ^ensemble is the four piece—coat, skirt, overblouse and sleeveless bolero or cardigan. One of the outstanding style factors we noted in the newest sportswear waa the use of two and three kinds of materials, all the same color but vary­ ing in patterns • Three-Quarter Length Top Coat ’ One we saw that was very beautiful and practical as weU had a threequarter length topcoat with bolero sides in fawn colored tweed, with n turn back collar of checked woolen in fawn and brown tones. Deep pockets of the checked woolen are big and roomy and there was a plain skirt of the tweed with an overskirt of the checked fabric. All in all, the mode for spring is a The one-piece sleeveless dress is very fascinating one with its new sil­ smart. The skirts arc pleated and houettes, new fabrics and new fashion square and V necks are prominent. whims! Many of the stores are showing clever little frocks for sports wear in printed silks that launder beautifully and which every woman will include in her spring wardrobe—if she would be in the mode. The Ensemble Vogue The vogue of the ensemble is here i to stay. That we found out very con-i clusively ami definitely when we made,.

This style is usu­ ally suitable for Florida, California, I etc., and is not so popular inland. * For Little Fellows I The smaller chaps’ apparel follows ' practically the same style ideas as the ; clothing for the older boys: chief । among this year’s changes is the final dismissal of the long trouser idea, and the almost complete elimination of the “cunning little vest" so favored last season. Boys’ accessories—shoes, furnish­ ings, hats, etc., have undergone very slight changes—nothing particularly new being shown, with the exception of shirts having extremely long peaks on tho collars; and pajamas being shown in a dazzling variety of unus­ ually light colors and fancy patterns. These are the only innovations for you thus far recorded. Ironside Shoe Company's Easter Footwear Charmingly Interprets Every Phase of the Springtime Mode As varied, and as clearly defined as the apparel fashions of spring are Ironside Shoe Co.'s shoes for the new season. Oxfords, straps and step-ins of tailored, yet feminine lines, to (wear with tailored suits, or dresses. xh Fashions for youth and youthful fashions! This we note in the new modes for spring. Skirts remain short, the moat popular silhouette is slim— there’s an abMnco of elaboration and a simplicity that is youth's! There’s a new animation in the clothes “they are showing" this spring •nd it’s very evident that the new modes know no age. For all of them have that elusive charm that is youth! Two Distinct Silhouettes One of these silhouettes allows broad shoulders with loose lines in the upper half of the figure and straight and slim id the lower. The other shows princess linos in slim fitted effect* that curve to the figure. The fullness above tho waist—(the former silhouette is much the more popular)—is achieved in bloused treatments and the bloused movement is very definitely expressed. Tho bloused idea is*cvidcnt, too, in tho bolero effects, in which there seems no abatement In popularity. The bolero in the newest frocks stands away from the blouse and contrasts with the slender straightness of the complete without t4o suits—one, the trig little tailored type sometiius possessing ho more than two skirts and the other—an ensemble for both J . 1 Modes For Spring More dressy types in ties, sandals,1 strappuraps and step-ins to accompany the more elaborate costume and afternoon frocks. For sports wear — shoes to play in, and shoes to watch in, worn with the same frock. But not dntil you see our complete Easter showing can you fully appreciate how perfectly your every footwear need has been anticipated. Moderate prices add still further interest to Easter choosing from this varied collection. Modish Millinery and True to Shape TT ERE you get a custom tailoring * * service that not only expresses your personality in the sort of clothes we design for you but also an exactness in fit and drape that best develops a well-groomed effect. There is economy, too, in wearing service of clothes expertly tailored — the better fabrics, the more en­ during needle-work and the more exclusive patterns. Our Spring woolens are here now — the choicest from the best for­ eign and American looms. Our prices are surprisingly moderate.

New Color Creations In Spring Hats SPRING SHOWING The most interesting news in men's hat styles this year is the striking "come-back" of the Derby! The col­ lege boys, who really are the ones who make or break styles, are enthusias­ tically adopting the Derby, and it therefore bids well to become popular throughout the country. From a standpoint of appearance, the Derby always held its own, to a certain extent, looking well, and ap­ parently being a necessary adjunct for dress occasions. But not until this season has the Derby begun to be worn in such large numbers. The “brown Derby" of comic paper fame also will demand attention, although not nearly as great as its darker brother. Snap and Curved Brims The felt hat of other years contin­ ues to be the leader, while sharing popularity with the Derby. Felt hats in Fedora shape, and single crease rffyles will be worn this year. The crowns are a trifle lower and notice­ ably smaller; while brims are either the snap variety or curved. Both bound and raw edges will be seen. In regard to colors, grays, tans and browrts will predominate, with a sprinkling of tho ever popular blue, as well. The variety of shades or "tones" of these colors will be amaz­ ingly great, featuring the pastel This Year’s Straw Hats This year the Straw hat will make itself "felt" more strongly than ever, so great is the variety from which the particular man may make a selection. Light-weight straw ‘hats will’, of course, hold first place, the conven­ tional sailor easily leading the field. Straw sailors will be decorated with gayly colored bands, while the straw itself will favor white, light brown and tan shades. The "oatmeal straw" hats will be the big novelty thia year. This is'a rough weave hat having an "oatmeal" appearance, and coming in a variety of shapes, and several shades. The variety of brims on straw hats will not be great, as the size seems to be pretty much standardized, being just about the same as last year, pos­ sibly a trifle narrower. Panamas and Leghorns A certain percentage of men will favor the “old reliable" Panama and Leghorn hats, as most suitable to their taste. Panamas will be in the customary styles, fedora, opthno snd semi-telescope, in the conventional I Panama tones. l.eghorn straws will be in several color effects, ranging from white to light brown. I The time honored cap will continue I to hold ita popularity, although there is nothing startlingly new in cap styles. The one and eight-piece mod­ els are still good, and visors are a trifle wider. Rather loud patterns may be expected this season—nil be­ ing especially suitable for sports and out door wear rather than for dally OF o MILLINERY Smart New Styles for Ladies', Misses, and Children are sure to find here everything in the newest modes in chic styles and attractive shades for spring.

STATE STREET HASTINGS, MICHIGAN. �T JD Sets the Pace C/x-/ C/XVv^ In Spring Footwear The Ult of tha robin—the flint of Spring sunshine— is reflected in the fascinating now footwear for the Spring of 1027. The modes for new costumes are brilliant with color and shoes carry out their duty religiously aa fitting com­ plements tq the mode of color. Novar have we seen such a lovely array of fiattaring colors in footwear aa the shops are showing this Spring. From Nature's own palette come dainty youthful shades with such charming and alluring names as pastclle parchment, stone, rose blush, shell gray, stroller tan and hampstaad brown. These and many more you’ll find—all subtle, beautiful.... ex­ quisite. It really wasn't so very long ago, as you probably remember, when shoes were built to be practical—“to stand the gaff.” Today we find them prac­ tical, of course, but always they must be and are, beautiful—and youthful. And thanks to tho designers who nre constantly and forever seeking new effects, new materials, new de­ signs.... beautiful shoes are now within tlie roach of every woman in .Ajnerica. Truly we have never seen such lovely footwear—priced so in­ terestingly, too, when they are so beautiful—as the stores are now show­ ing. Materials and Combinations It ia quite apparent that the most popular materials are patent leather and kid.

All of which promises to make this spring one of the most colorful sea­ sons in scores of yean. While colors will take the spotlight, style, of course, hasn't been over­ looked. The tendency in suits is toward three-button models — the looser effect. The double-breasted suits have seen their vogue. They will sell oply sparsely in spring—and then confined mainly to blues.

For some time past there ha* been a growing disposition on tho part of many automobile owners, starting for the scene of a fire upon the sounding of an alarm. It has happened that as the truck was headed toward tho fire, the road ahead wquld bo more or less clut­ tered up with aptos and the truck would be compelled to slow down or hit some ono. The necessary thing about a fire is to "put it out" just aa quickly as pos­ sible. That 1* what tho truck is for.

With very few exception* these thirty-three plantings are easily seen from tho high­ way so that they will serve as an abid­ ing demonstration of thd wny in which idle lands can bo made profitable. No soil preparation, no plowing or fitting, ii necessary am\ no cultivation after planting is advised. Those accustomed to the work eon plant 3,000 trees a day, Ct it in presumed that about 1,000 will a fair day’s work for the inexper­ ienced planter. Tax exemption under the Farm Woodlot Act ean bo secured on all of these planted acres* provided the own­ er does not pasture tne planting and han approximately 1,200 seedlings to the acre. If tho seedling* aro planted 6 feet by 0 feet tha number per sere will be about 1,210. Application blanks for tax exemption under tho farm wood­ lot net mar no acquired from Alvin Hmolkcr, the eounty treasurer. Prof. Ralph Kroodsma, the M. 9. C. Forestry Extension Specialist, conduct­ ed plnnting demonstration* on Monday nnd Tuesday on the farm* of Byron Ketcham in Baltimore township, John Strange on the'West shore of Barlow lake, Heber Pike, Orangeville and Rob­ ert Kelley on the Gun Marsh. The planting on the Robert Kelley muek lend was not reforestation bnt tho es­ tablishment of a wind brake which Mr. Kroodsma advises a* the most promis­ ing type of wind break to cheek the blowing out of the onion acreage which hn» caused such great damage and great loss to the onion grower* during tho past several years. Ijirge acreage* of fall plantings to white pine should be made this year. The.interest which thir­ ty-throe farmer* have taken in this project greatly indicate* that the farm­ ers agree with Prof. Kroodsma that they ean no longer afford to pay taxes on idle land and that the land is thor­ oughly unsuited to general agricultural pursuits and erop rotations. They agroo that $.1.60 wortn of material and one day's labor i» a very small investment per acre and particularly so since no preparation for planting is needed no future care is necessary. They agree thnt tax exemption on thi* same acre­ age after it has been planted to white nine is one of the best thing* that could happen to the poor land farmers nnd nearly every farmer has some poor land thnt should be planted to white pine. It ia expected that mnny tnx ex­ emptions will be made on these planted lands. Barry county will be very rnueh hiore beautiful anfl attractive to tour­ ists when our idle waste lands arc cov­ ered with a lieautlful evergreen growth of trees.

There Is yet a lit­ tle nvnilnble through the Grand Rapids Arsenal nnd farmers who have stumps nnd stone* which nre interferring with profitable cultivation of fields should attend this week’s demonstration* and promptly order their supply of Pyrotol for removing these this year. Pyrotol cost* about one-third na much as dy­ namite of the same strength and is used in exactly the same way.

Application* must bf in by April 15th which gives u* only thi* week to enter our litter*. There ia no expense to entrance in the ton litter contest and some tow* have raised their litter to weigh over two ton* in 180 days so there should be no great difficulty in producing one ton iu six month*. Mr. Freeman will make arrangement* for the official weighing of the litter at the end of the 180 day period and the med­ al* will be awarded a little later in tho year. , Prof. Gregg will teach farmers ho* to use these shrub* in cn-ating outdoor beauty around their home*.

Tha following paragraph copied from the College Rmut Control Bulletin, out­ line* tbc treatment which every farmer should”apply to his seed oats. ' “Use fresh formaldehyde at the rate of one pint to 50 bushels of grain. For smaller amounts of grain use corres­ pondingly smaller amounts of formal­ dehyde. It is unnecessary and unsafe to use more formaldehyde than the amount recommended. Put the right amount of fresh formaldehyde just as it cornea from tbedraggist, into a pint or quart hand-sprayer or atomizer. Tho concentrated formaldehyde may be disecure better distribution of the chem­ ical. Then spray the grain a* it is shoveled over and over. If the spray- there ia a good draft, the penetrating odor of the formal-lehydc will give no discomfort. When the right amount of formaldehyde has been applied, shovel the oats into a heap and cover for ex­ actly FOUR HODRH with a canvas or blanket. Tho grain should then be spread out thinly for a thorough airing in a warm place. Rake tho grain over during this airing, then plant at ones. For control of, wheat stinking smut, dusting with eopner dust ia advised. The copper dust mrfnod is not advised for oats. With either treatment avoid con­ taminating the grain with dust from old sacks or from the drill. To disinfect the sacks, soak in formaldehyre, two tnblespoonfuls to a pail of water. To disinfect the drill pour thia solution through it. Ask vour druggist for FRESH FOR MALDEHYDE. Mrs. Dorn Rullivnn of Juike (lilrw# and Mra. James Hullibrrger.

FRIDAY AND ! Wo eommeml tho legislature ot Michi­ gan fur pouring a law which will take 92,000,000 from the general fund of tha state and u*e it to old the public aehoola in the epttrariy ret tied rtountiM of northern Michigan. Tho rata of tax­ ation in therm r<xinfk» had beeomo ai most prohibitive, being in Mn» raw* u high no eight percent, and in many eas­ es six perrnnt, largely duo to the excearivo school tax. The value nf the land ia small. The property included in certain districts would be so llttln that only by an outrageously high tax rate could enough money bo raised to keep schools going. Yot the law .re­ quires the schools to be maintained. Under the plan ns adopted 92,000,000 will be token out of th* corporation tax nnd used for tho purpose of helping those schools. Taxation had bceomi' so high in certain of those northern dis­ tricts that it amounted to practically confiscation 6t property. Thia wise net of the legislature will make it possibln to maintain good schools with­ out nn excess burden on local taxpayers. The state of Michigan ean easily makn up this amount by putting the assessment of Wayne county up some­ where near where it belongs. There ia every reason why Wnyne county ought to be Intorosted in maintaining good schools in there sparsely settled districts, because it draws re many of the young men from those districts to Detroit. ’ ORIGIN 91.00 Bouquet Ramee Face Powder Three Tints. 2for»1.01 FIND CLEAN PLOWING WILL CONTROL BORER YOU SAVE M« 50c Bouquet Ramee Talcuni Wide Clowe With Chais or Wire Attached Accomplish a Satisfactory Olean-Up Job East Lansing, April.4. The nre of wide bottom plows set at anfficlent ' depth, with chain or wire attachments, is nn efficient nnd practical method nf cleaning up enrn fleida.in the borer in­ fested area, according to H. H. Mussel­ man, professor of agricultural engineer­ ing at tho Michigan State College. Professor .Musselman Rtntes that a 14 inch plow'Will >«1o a. good Job of turning under on.tha lighter soils. On the heavier Mila, where'tha stalks nre much larger, not less than a Ifl inch plow should bo usedf In anv ease, the [lowing depth should be at least ononlf of the width of the plow, prefer­ ably more. The use of No, 0 wires, .eight to ten fact long, attached to tho jointer-'or eonlter shank with tho free end allowed . to drag under the furrow which is being turned under, will hold down stalka and a. debris and feed them under the furrow " slice which is ludng turned. As many ns three wires have been used ta ad­ vantage on a single bottom olow. A chnin may be used instead of'Wires, - according to Prof. Musselman. It should'be attached to the jointer shank or to the beam and the other end hook­ ed to tho furrow end of the ovener. A , knot in tho chnin will sometimes in- ’ e'renso its efficiency. Tho chain should lie long enough to permit it ta drag just ahead of the ppi nt where tho furrow slice falls. For farmers who have not used there . devices before, Prof. Mussulman says thnt n half-hour spent experimenting with them and adapting them to con­ ditions will be time well expended. Tho four horse or ‘strung-out” hitch is recommended for the wider horse drawn plows. It ia preferred, because if the horses arc hitched abreast, crowd­ ing, overheating, trampling nnd loss of power result. The pulley type of own­ er is considered highly satisfactory for this hitch, ax the pull ia equally dis­ tributed to each team, ho points out. County agents are now staging • demonstrations throughout the corn borer area whore those devleoy may bo , seen in operation. .

Tho family which they cleared nnd where the six brother* and sisters grew to manhood and womanhood, availing themselves of the meager opportunities for education. Mr. Dennis continued to reside on the old homestead until about sixteen years ago, when ill health compelled him to leave his dearly beloved home and eomo to live with his daughter itK Hastings evening, April 10, 1927 nt the age of 83 years and 10 months. In 1879 he was united in marriage to Hannah E. John­ son nnd to them four, children were born, two of whom have preceded him. Though not n member of any ehureh, his Christian life was exemplified in kindness, loyalty and servieo to those ho so dearly loved and when, with tho passing of h*> wife In 1393. he waa left with three motherless children, ho re­ mained true to-his promise to keep them together and be a* both mother and fa­ ther to them. His life covered an inter­ esting period in national and state de­ velopment, in whieh ho always mani­ fested a keen interest, and until the Inst hi* studious mind was eager for greater knowledge. He leaves to mourn their loss, a son, John H. Dennis of Flint, Mich., a daughter, Mrs. Lena Norris of Hastings, five granddaughters and one grandson and one brother, Oto. 8. Dennis of Kalamazoo, besides many other relatives and friepds.

Delays are dangerous Hastings National Bank The Ojily National Bank m Barry County CLUB BOYB AND GULLS HAVE DONE MUCH FOR FARM LIFE. In reviewing 4-H elub work over the ten-year period, 1914-1924, following the passage of the Bmith-Lcver Act, it is dear that the 5,000,000 farm boys and girls who have been engaged in 4-H club work during this time have made a genuine and substantial con­ tribution to tho improvement of Amer­ ican farm life. These boys and girls have not only enrolled for many different kinds ol farm and homo activities. A very large percentage of them have completed all phases of the projects undertaken, and have accordingly received efficient training for later life, and been fitted to act a* leaders to other boys and girls, and to taketheir places as progressive rural citizens. Tho enrollment of girls has been somewhat larger than that of boys. In 1924. about 58 per eent of the total number of dub members, or about 300,­ 500 were girls. They were Interested in such projects ns clothing construc­ tion, food preservation and preparation, home management, gardening, poultry, dairy and home improvement work, both inside and outside. Almost 210,­ 000 boys were enrolled in one or more dub projects in. 1924. This represented n considerable growth of momborship over the previous year. The demon­ stration projects undertaken were limit­ ed only by the problems of the farm it­ self. Corn, potatoes, eotton and other crops, poultry, pigs, dairy and beef cat­ tle and other livestock, were the types of club work chosen by tho greatest number of boys. The money value of the elub produc­ tion of these boys and girls has been more than1 its cost, leaving a libera) margin for the dub members’ labor. Neverthdesa, the educational inflames ,of the work in establishing better fans and home practices is regarded as it* main value. After outlining In Miscellaneous Cir­ cular 85-M, the various elub activities in detail, George E. Farell, of the Of­ fice of Cooperative Extension Work, points out that there are about 11,000,­ 000 rural boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 18 in this country. Near­ ly 3,000,000 of these, chiafly between 14 and 18 yean old are not in school. This is nn average of about 960 per county. Three bov* and girl* are great­ ly in need of further preparation for life through public agencies. Tho 4-H dub svitem is a most helpful agency for thi* service. When It 1* sufficiently manned with trained leaders it can reach a great many in this large group of young people who are not la school, as well as a great many who are. Rindair Lewi* and Rupert Hughes are evidence that the mere fnrt that n man has written a book'doesn’t entitle him to the privilege of remaking the world. Now that noihing else hns been done to help thn farmers it looks like they might start a war over in Europe to do Phone 2217 Hastings, Mich. DAYTON CORNERS.

It is claimed that it waa principally against John Lovett that tho Governor insisted on both houses barring lobby lais from the floor during sessions, and wjjirh was heartily supported by some of the legislators t»ecause it also auto mstieally banished Hoy Holsaple to the galleries.

This will mean that where a residence street is paved, tho owners of tlw property abutting on such street will nave to pro­ vide some means whereby their propor­ tion of the expense of paving will be paid either at the time when the paving is done, or at the time when tho tax is next levied, paying all of it at one time. This will practically require unani­ mous agreement to the paving proposi­ tion on the part of the tax payers abut­ ting on the street, and a willingness on their part to pny for tho improvement nt ono time and practically -when tho paving is completed. Otherwise it would be necessary for tho city to is­ sue bonds. ' Of course if tho city should issue bonds, purely for the purpose of helping individual tax payers owning property abutting on tho paved street, it would not he the city's debt; for tho city would plan to collect tho principal as well as the interest from the property owners. It would not be a city debt because the city would only be loaning its eredit to help tho individual tax payor-to spread his payments over a period of years instead of paying nil at once.

Phone 2217 H^trnp, Mich. DOESN’T LIKE COMMIS­ SION GOVERNMENT. The BANNER is in receipt of a let­ ter from a subscriber nt Ocala, Florida, who .tells of the workings of thn com­ mission form of government in that city. Fortunately not all commission governed cities have tho same expericnce or carry on the government in the same way. But the ono mentioned in Oeala must bo an example of what a city government ought not to be, judg­ ing from this correspondent ’a letter. It starts out by complaining he has missed two issues of the BANNER of late and asks us to change the label on his paper from Box 383 to 7-153 E 11th St. Ho says ho never used to miss a BANNER when addressed to Box 383, but tho commission could not stand any­ thing that worked so well. Our correspondent explains that ho has not moved but that the new commis­ sion form of government has establish­ ed some regulations that require this change. They first changed the number from 383 to 153, then after he had re­ ceived two or three papers on 153 an­ other change was required, placing a ”7” with n dash after it before tho 153. It required the services of three different people to bring this to pass, whieh would indicate thnt saving money is not ono of the ideas prominent in tho mind of the commission government in Ocala. This correspondent explains that when he went there seven years ago it was-like as he expresses it: ” Beautiful Hastings—a nice town with very little debt.” Two years later they establlah.ed the commission form of government. Now the city, has a bonded debt of *1,220,000. Ho rightly says that the peopie of Hastings have reason to bo proud of our city government, whieh aims to reducer debts and eut out bond Issues. Our subscriber tells us that in Marian eounty, of which Ocala Is -the county scat, a recent vote by tho tax payers put a bonded debt of 17,500,000 on the eounty with which to build roads. Bnt as the eounty has 371,200 more acres than tho entire state of Rhode Island the debt is not much per acre. He states that tho state of Florida evident­ ly has a good business administration because it has no bonded debt and tho last report showed nearly 115,000,000 In the stale treasury.

Smith term, 5 mils south and west of Hastings on M 43 on April 29 80. This work will be conducted by the Michigan Htate Col­ lege through tho co-operation of the Agricultural Engineering and Poultry Departments and assisted by our eounty agent. The construction of the house will ho under the supervision of the Agricultural Engineering Department. A representative of the Poultry Depart­ ment will bo present to discuss poultry problems and the important features of the hnu*e that is constructed. Poultry housing ha» l>een neglected to a certain extent in the pa»tz few years. More emphasis has been placed on high egg production stock and feed­ ing.

The cost of sueh en­ forced clean-up will be charged to in­ dividuals on whose land tho work is done, and will l>c collected on tha same basis as taxes under tho authority of existing state legisUtion.

All eorn stubble above two inches in height, re­ gardin'* of the field conditions in which it may be found, must be cleaned up by May 1 in order to meet tho government regulations.

San But thnt Ls the only way in which this matter can lie settled—by a vote of the people. The legislature recently, in noth hrsnrhim, by a large majority pass­ ed a law which would allow members of tho legislature 3100 each in addition to their pay of <800, the additional sum to apply on expenses. The attorney gener­ al promptly ruled that this would not stand the test of the courts, because the constitution provided for an increase in the pay of state officers only by consti­ tutional amendment, nnd this has been tried nnd the people Kail voted it down. The supreme court of this state has ruled that nn allowance of this kind for expense of a state officer really is aa ad­ dition to his salary; nnd therefore con trary to the constitution. Of roursr there was nothing els©, for Governor Green to do but to veto the proposition, which he promptly did. It would seem as if some of thojoennt acts of the legislature might have been in­ spired by resentment toward the gover­ nor for doing this; yet any right-think­ ing person would know that, with the advice ot tho attorney general thnt this waa plainly unconstitutional, the gover­ nor had no option except to veto it.

Editor of the BANNER:— Citixons* Military Training Camp for tho past two years, also acting pa a com­ mitteeman of tho onrollmcnt forces, I hayo boon asked the question: "Whnt docs the Citizens* Militnry Training Camp do far a boyf” Which I will undertake to answer. First, it is quite necessary fdr you to understand that C. M. T. C. stands for Cilisons* Military Training Camp—tho United States government program fur instructing young America from ail walks of life in tho fundamental prin­ ciples of national defense, keeping in mind the very important question of building a stronger manhood through proper physical exercise, and a better citizenship by teaching young men nomotbing about American institutions. Menlnl training is also provided. Obedience la Taught. You nro a father. Just what will instruction and training in a Citixcns’ Cnmp do for your boy I Boys, ago 17 to 24, normal healthy boys, may enroll for the thirty-day training period. All boya are good boya. Bad boys are good boys who have never been properly trained, someone said. The C. M. T. C. method create* con­ fidence between tho boy and hia in­ structor. Among the first lessons taught i* obedience, and this is nccom? pliahed without the boy hardly kndwing ho fa obedient. The first thing every morning when tho bugle blow* be knows ho must got up. And he learns obmlicnoo naturally. Ho must wash elcanly, nmko up his l»c<l and answer roll call. Then he wants to go to breakfast. Nobody has to make him go to breakfast. The boy learns easily to obey; in. fact, he wnnls to uboy. No harsh measures nrc ever u«x| by instructors in a Citizens* Camp. After n good breakfast fa served, he get* a short rest. Setting up exercises at.-irt tho morning and help develop strong, sturdy stock. . . Another rest and a lecture, porhapf on the Constitution. Then a half hour’s drill in inarching, halting nnd sqund movements. A rest, u short talk by the instructor and an­ other period of interesting squad or company drill or practical work. Radio is studied, horsemanship is learned. Boys arc taught how to shoot a rifle. They have an opportunity to win a mnrksninn '* medal too, or better yet, an export rifleman’s medal. Lectures on Cttlzenihlp. Lneturos on citizenship are given, cure of health, respect for womanhood, rcapoet for American institutions, love of your fcllowmen—chaplains and distinquished visitors talk to the students.

Tho demand for trees' from the ■nursery this year waa so great that many orders could not be filled.

Of Hollywood the writer know* but little, having passed through it but once or twice on n sight seeing tour from tho top of nn auto bfis, hut from reports constantly coming through lhe daily papers ono is led to believe it to be a “tough joint.” There are about 800,000 (M-opln within its precinct*. Of course not a IFare bad but enough bad one* arc there to give it an unsavory reputation. What has been written ao far leads to the statement thnt while who Ixilluve in good, clean cilirenship, taw and order, are wide awake and also aggressive and in this city, as in every community, the.work of holding in check the forces of evil Is carried on largely by the churches and church go­ ing people. It is estimated thnt about one fifth of the population nf this eity, or in round numbers 250,000, are mem­ bers or at least adherents of some ehureh. This estimate further classifies H0,000 an Protestants nnd the 170,000 would take in the Catholics, Christian Scientists amt the many other smaller groups naturally found in such a con­ glomerate population. Aware that this letter will unduly tax the patience of the Editor and the Dinner columns I will reserve for a fu­ ture Jotter any extended mention cif the splendid outstanding churehea of the Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists and Christians, also the magnifleient edifice known a* the Teapot Dome Catholic churehjso called because Edward L. Doheney/of Tonpot Dome notoriety was the largest single contributor in its erec­ tion. I will confine myself to two in­ cidents while they are fresh in my mind, the first living the splendid rally to tho xunriso services on Inst Sunday, or Eas­ ter Sunday, in the mammoth coliseum near where the writer is holding down n small job. It was the first sunrise serv­ ice I ever attended. It was a continual surprise, first to see the crowds of peo­ ple coming from every direction, they enme young mid old nnd on entering the Coliseum wns surprised to see 20,000 people already in their scat* and not until 40,000 wore in their scats in the smith half of the gigantic structure did they erase coming. Kunrise services wen' also held in Hollywood. Glendale, Pasadena nnd Riverside, estimated in nil about 200,000 people in Los Abgeles nnd vicinity attended these sunrise Eas­ ter services. Tho second incident wns Angelos Temple where the entire day was sjM-nt. Between the services, morn­ ing, afternoon and evening, after lunch we loitered in Echo Park just across the street from the Temple, a licautiful park well shnded, with a small lake around tho edge of which grow palm nnd pepper trees in great numbers. The Temple, Bible school, Sunday Bchool room* and Mrs. McPherson's residence cover the block. The Temple, with its three bnlconiex, hns a seating capacity of 5-700. It I* estimated that 6,000 persons nttemlcd the morning service. After n half hour’s concert by the Ju­ venile band, consisting of seven violins nnd seven wind instruments, promptly on time Mr*. McPherson, her mother nnd her two children camo upon the platform. A ehoir of ninety voices fur­ nished splendid music but not all the music. Mrs. Mcl’heraon started the congregation half a dozen times with only, a verse or two of somo familiar hymn or Christian song and the stickler for having all tho peoplo sing was sure delighted. The theme of both morning and evening sermons was tho Resurrec­ tion. Tho speaker wait fluent, earnest nnd at times dranmtie, no slang nor any thing thnt would hint at acnsationalism. The afternoon was given over to tho Sunday school numbering about 3000, plenty of talent to select from and tho exercises were of the best. An Easter love offering for the pastor, an annual event, wns taken in the morning, nmonnUng to over 11400.00, ono hun­ dred fifty-one pesrons were baptized (by itiunerxion) Inst week and ono hun­ dred eleven the week previous. Nearly one hundred came to t|ic altar after tho evening sermon for a prayer service. There are about seven hundred Bible student* attending the Bible school— young people from nearly every state in the Union and from several foreign countries. In concluding this letter would sav thnt I am convinced that most of the criticism of Mrs. McPherson and her work come* at least partly as 11 result of jealousy at her aucccas, R. P. (Bob) Shuler of tho M. E. church, Bouth, and Dr. Briglieh of the Presby­ terian church Iw-ing the most outspoken in their criticisms. Th*1 followers of Aimec Semple McPherson implieity be­ lieve in her story of her abduction or kidnaping and in the mind of tho aver­ age citizen hero there is bolter ground fortauch liolicf titan to credit tho story of her stay of ten day* with Ormiston at Cannel Cottage.

Perhaps no disease has received as much publie attention and interest durmrr, io<iay, nowsvsr, there la a divided opinion os to just what policy jo pursue In combating the diMsse. Home urge immunlration of all susceptible children, othora believe In providing temporary protection with nntitoxin at the time of contact; and still others believe, even where there has been direct exposure, in waiting until initial symptoms have developed and then giving a therapeutic dose of antitoxin. Whichever of the three at­ titudes is adopted, there should first of all be a Dirk Test, os a considerable number even in the generally suscept­ ible age group (under 10 years of age) nre not suscept ibis to scarlet fever. The Dick test 1s, of course, a method of determining whether or not a. per­ son is susceptible to the disease, and quite obviously if one is not apt to gat the disease, we don't have to worry about either active immunization or antitoxin. Without attempting to decide which of the policies should be adopted, be­ cause each one la useful, the facts as we hnow them seem to be: 1. Active immunization, ns produced by injection or Injections of scarlet fever toxin, is an established fact. It has tho advantage over tha antitoxin In producing immunity for a consider­ able period of time. We do not know accurately just how long after tha in­ jection or injeetiona have been comrleted Immunity will be produced, mmunity is apparently not produced Sale re them dozen.

A prominent sociologist says that men ought to grow , whiskers 1 assert their authority. It la our sbnal opinion that the growing of whiskers by a married man would only give his wife another hold on him. rapidly enough to prevent the onset of searlet fever after there has been a definite exposure. We do not aa yet know how long the immunity onee pro dueed will last. It may last a year or two years, or Jt may last much longer. The reactions upon the persons to whom It ia given are variable. In some there Is little or no reaction, in others some reaction, and in a vary few a rather ever, reactions are much less frequent and severe than they were when im­ munization was first practiced three years ago. 2. A prophylactic dose of scarlet fever antitoxin (1-4 of a therapeutic dusa) will in the majority of instances prevent scarlet fever even after there has been a definite exposure, provided It is given shortly after such exposure. It gives, of course, only temporary immunity lasting for only a few weeks. Reactions vary considerably. Home times there is little or none; while in other instances the reaction is quite severe. It is' efficient in producing temporary immunity. 3. Antitoxin, given in therapeutic doaes at the time the patient develops first symptoms, almost always results ration of tho diaoaae, and in preventing complications. After recovery from the disease, the patient usually ha* im­ munity againet a subsequent attack of scarlet fevor.

Ask Yourself These Questic Then Do A Little Thinking The trouble with too many of us is that we do not give enough consider aton to our financial affairs. We get money-and go ahead and spend it, think­ ing that things "will comt out all right anyway." Each year finds us no bet­ ter off than we were the year before; the years fly by; gray hairs commence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the family. Then it is that we face the specter of old age; without income and without means. This little statement sums up the life experience of a large number of people. The AIM of this Bank is to be helpful—to render genuine SERVICE. That’s a PART of OUR BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals.

When legislators are willing to start tho week's business on Monday and to hold sessions on Saturday, it ia because thoy want to get the business of tho session finished and hike for home. With no session Tuesday, because a large number of the legislators wanted to take in tho blossom lime festival at Benton Harbor and St. Joo, every other day of the week has seen tho mills steadily grinding, with morning sessions tho ruin instead of the ex­ caption, nnd much work has been com­ pleted and sent to tho executive for his approval. The capital punishment bill la still a bone of contention between the two branches of the legislature. Tho bill, whieh has been toe main topic of acrimonious debate during the entire session, was reported out by the Senate judiciary committee, whieh bnd held it trp for two months, but with a string of amendments hanging to lt( one of whieh provided for a referendum. In thia form tho Senate passed tho bill' Wednesday afternoon and tho bill went back to tho House for concurrence In tho amendments. Thi* the House re fused to do, the vote being unanimous, and the hill went back to thn Senate, whieh has asked for a conference,"com mittne* for whieh hnvo been Appointed. Tho House contend* thnt tho people of fHo state want tho legislature to settle tho question instead of passing tho buck bark to the voters of tho state, who elected tho legislature, and that tho two-year delay which would be re­ quired to put tho Inw into effect through a referendum i* unnneessary. That if capital punishment ia needed it is needed right now, without un­ necessary delay. Both houses aro now awaiting the report of tho conference committee, which is looked for onrly in Thodeath of Senator Ooorgo Dofor of the First District, whieh occurred nt I Itho Hotel Downey Mondny evening, enst an air of gloom over tho Capitol REASON ENOUGH When we sella man a jiaed car we are naturally hoping that some day he will come back and buy a new car.

The senator had been in poor health for somo time, but was hack at hl* - desk Monday, taking nn active Interest in legislative matters.

' Circuit court’ judge* throughout tha state are given an taerraso In pay of 92,500 per year under n bill which tja* passed both house* and i* now await­ ing tho signature of Governor Green. This will make the salary paid by the state 97,500 per year, but the coun­ ty boards of supervisor* nre authorised, a* heretofore, to Increase this by any The. University of Michigan appro­ priation bills as passed by the Senate Wednesday closelv approximate the amounts requested by President Little. The bill, whieh now goes to the House, provides for 94,150,000 for tho build inp program for tho ensuing two years. Included in this program nre Innd for a woman’s lenguo building, site* and buildings for women’s dormitories, a modern elementary sehotfi building, two additional stories fox tho nurses’ building and a new wing for Angell Hall. The limitation of 93,700.000 of tho mill tax was removed and the tnx cut down from 0 tenths of a mill to five and flvq-tentha. It is estimated that this will raise an amount of four nnd a quarter millions for maintenance and operation. The senate finance committee has reported out the bill providing for hnlf a million for the proposed new tuber­ culosis hospital at Anu Arltor. This has already passed tho House nnd if it goe* through the Senate and is approv ed by the Governor both tha Ann Arbor and the Howell institutions will bo taken earn of and eneh will receive 9250,000 in addition from tho appro printion made by tie legislature of 1925. The Horton bill, whieh in its rough form, undressed, weighs about four pounds, passed, tho Senate Wednesday. It is a codification of tho school laws of the state and hns been in preparation for more than a year by the Depart­ ment of Education, with Superintend­ ent Coffey a* it* sponsor. It clarifies and untangles many mooted questions, repeals n number of obsolete provisions, Governor Green vetoed the Rushton bill, providing more severe penalties for armed robbery.

Bo Michigan is evidently not going to the whipping post this year, if the Governor enn help it. Other measures also pending have had tho whipping post clause added. The administration gai tax proposl- tion, Introduced in th* Senate by Sena­ tor George Leland of Fennville, has finally been approved by the House, after a stormy session. As amended by the House, the cities will get 92,000 per mile for trunk lino maintenance, tho counties will get 97,000,000 to be divided in proportion to their weight tax, and another million will bo split squally among tho M3 counties of tho INVESTMENT DETROIT 2^56-3059 Bohl Bldg.

The automobile has come to be a symbol of pros­ perity, not only among individuals, but among the nations of the world, and it is significant that in number of automobilea the United States ranks first. The manufacture of automobiles and the manufac­ ture of fuel to feed them are interdependent indus­ tries. Without gasoline the 23,000.000 motor can and tracks in America would be useless machines. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has had an Important part In the growth of the motor industry and the production of new wealth in this country. By providing gasoline and lubricating oil to supply the need* of the motor vehicles of the Middle West, it ha* performed a necessary share of the work of building up the giant motor transports lion system which has given jobs to millions—speeded up busi­ ness—created new wealth—and raised the standard* of living. j.

Ask Yourself These Questions' Then Do A Little Thinking The trouble with too many of us is that we do not give enough consideraton to our financial affairs. We get money and go ahead and spend it, think­ ing that things “will come out all right anyway." Each year finds us no bet­ ter off than we were the year before; the years fly by; gray hairs commence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the family. Then it is that we face the specter of old age; without income and without means. This little statement sums up the life experience of a large number of people. The AIM of this Bank is to be helpful—to render genuine SERVICE That's a PART -of OUR BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let Us inquire if you have ever ASKED YOUR SELF these questions: “DO I KNOW MY FINANCIAL CONDITION? AM I GETTING AHEAD, JUST KEEPING EVEN OR AM I RUNNING IN DEBT? We can HELP YOU get in a better financial condition. Open a Savings Account with us and add to it as much as you can each week or month. At the end of the FIRST YEAR you will see how EASY it is to GET AHEAD and KEEP AHEAD. We will always be glad to advise with you, or render you any service that we can.

Tho rock on which tho final split eamo waa thA.nferendum amend­ ment, which tbe Houm refused to ac­ cept. Tho conferee te report was ac­ cepted. in the House by a goodly major­ ity. but twenty aenator* said "No,'and said it emphatically. The twenty wore Rcnators Bahorski, Barnard, Con­ don. Cummings, Engle, Herrick, Howell, Jnaaowski, Karchor, Leland, Ix>nnon, Person, Pulver, Quinlau, Rend, Rush­ ton, Btoll, Wilcox, Woodruff and Bax­ ter. Those who voted yea were Binning, Campbell. Gansaer, Horton, Martin, O’Connell, Bink, Tniottncr, Watson and Wood. Among the last minute bills of gener­ al importance and interest to the state at large toeome through waa the Le­ land gas tax bill, which was signed by Governor Green Friday morning. Sen­ ator Inland prizes as a souvenir tho pen with whieh the bill was signed. The bill raise* tho gas tax to three cents, leaves the weight tax aa it was, pro­ vides for *2000 per mile annual main­ tenance for trunk line* in cities, gives the counties seven millions divided on tho ratio of their weight tax, spreads another million equally among thn coun­ ties, but was not given immediate ef­ fect, no that it will take effect 90 days after final adjournment. Another important hit week measure wna the traffic code measure, introduced by Senator Baxter, which originally aimed to adopt the Hoover code making traffic rules more uniform in all the states. The bill was generously mussed up in both bouses before getting through, and it practically does away with tho speed limit.on the open road, removing the 35 mile limit. It doos, how­ ever, stipulate thnt drivers must be prepnred to stop within the limits of tho assured elear space ahead, and makes excessive speed nn indication of - reck­ less <|'lving, ia ease ot accident. A lot of comment, caused by charges brought against thn members of the state board ot pharmacy, has died down following tho. report of tho legislative investigating committee, which reported that they found tho charges "Unsup­ ported by evidence" and exonerating the board. Tho Turner bill, appropriating two million dollars to be spread among the poorer school district of the state, has finally passed both houses, with the amount parcel to one million. k Tho revised school code, whieh has lx*en in preparation by. the department of publie instruction for months, hns passed both houses, with but slight chnngiw from the original bill. Our amendment reduces thu limit of retire­ ment pension for teachers from a pro­ posed 11.500 per year to *900. Boxing exhibitions in Michigan will be allowed to go 13 rounds instead uf ton, as formerly, but tho proposition to raise the salary of Tom Bigger, state boxing commissioner, from *3500 to 95000 was removed from tho bill. Governor Green on Wednesday pul tho stamp of his disapproval on a sal ary increase for tha state banking com­ missioner. Ho admits tho salary is too small, but that there arc too many sal­ ary increases being asked for. The people of the state will haw an opportunity to grant a/salary increase to Hie legislator* at tho next general cleelion. Both houses hnvn passed n joint resolution to submit nn amend­ ment making tho salary a straight *3 per day during the two year term. A proposition to hnv» a committee appointed to look up the matter of buy­ ing or building a gubernatorial mansion in Tensing foil into the discard during the closing day* of tho session. The proposed now contract with tho Grand Trunk wna approved by both houses nnd tho Governor can got busy with it. immediately. As passed it pro­ vides for a 70-foot highway on each side of tho Grand Trunk track*. The proposed one dollar rod license bill for tjout fisherman wont to srnnsh in tha House Thursday. Tho privilege of parole for condemn­ ed first degree murderers wns taken from the Governor, although claimed by some of the sol on i to be unconstitution al. . Milkmen may not deliver milk in an other milkman's bottles, if the Gover­ nor approves the measure passed by both houses. Oil inspection by the state is repealed, subject to the Governor's approval. A determined fight was made ngninst tho repeal, as it is not only a safeguard ngninst poor kerosene, but brings a rev­ enue to the state above eost of inspec­ tion, but tbe measure went through. THE HASTINGS BANNER The Horton bill, appropriating »40,000 for the rare of Michigan veterans in the American Legion hospital, was approved "by both houses. Firearms must be registered with a board, under supervision of the depart­ ment of public safety,and after Septem­ ber 1 no gun run lie purchased without first securing a state permit and a cer­ tificate of registration. Under the Darin bill, tho state will erect a *100,000 seaplane port at Grosse Isle, to be equipi>ed with machine shop. Under a joint resolution which went through Thursday thn state will give *3,000 fbr the relief of the Mississippi flood sufferers. Appropriation bills went through in floods during the la»t week, tho larger and more important of eourse being the University of Michigan, the Michigan State College and the deficiency bill. While the university nnd state college fell short of what was asked, they fared well when the stnte of tho treasury nnd of general appropriations is considered; It Is said that appropriation bills carry­ ing a tax clause will total well over *25,000,000. Senate authorized expend!tores of about *27,000,000 for tho com­ ing fiacn! year nnd about *22,000,000 for the following year. The House approved ernor mny cut out as ha likes from tho appropriation bills. University got* the whqlc of 0-10 mill, which will amount to Si,500,000 or more. "Elate college gets 2-10 mill, whieh will amount to approximately *1,500,000; these for maintenance and operating expenses, aside from appropriations for more lands and new construction. Hfatc taxes will be largely increased the coming two year* over nny previous levy, but it is impossible to tell whnt the increase will be until tho Governor gets through paring items from the ap­ propriation bills.

Unified knowledge and progress are infinitely better than diversified ignorance and disaster. In electricity and tho telephone, for in­ stance, America has been given tho lowest rates on earth. On ita knowl­ edge and experience, the once trust*—*—ora many of the combinations, mei era and agreements to destroy. Everythat it wns create-------------------------„ where tbe tendency develops into fact; everywhere it results in better service at lower eost. The present age of mergers is only the shadow of the uni­ fication that progress will demand. The lamp of experience is not an in­ fallible adviser; but it is illuminative. Electricity and insurance arc among the few items of expense in American life that hove gone down in price below pre-war levels. Demand and supply operate in electricity as in every other field of business. But invention, cooperation and tho certainty of an enormously-growing public patronagrt that takes away the speculative risk in utility investments, has constantly lowered priees—comparatively, liter­ ally, from every point of view. Viewed by'what it has done, combinations and consolidations have made possible American industrial progress, wages and standards of living. ASSYRIA.

It will bo impossible to put up at this time two sueh buildings as arc needed for less then $200,000. Tho citizens of Hastings seem to be, and we think with good reason, opposed to big bond ; issues, covering a long period of years | with interest payments every year. They prefer to pay ns wo go. There is $15,000 now available for a new school building. It will bo four years yet be[ fore the last of the old school bonds will be paid. It probably will not bo thought wise to undertake tho constnietion of a now building until wo elear tho debt on the High school build­ ing. In the meantime, it appears to tho BANNER, it woulfl wm wise for the school board to add to its reserve fund for a now school building by at least $,10XM>0 a year for tho next five years. That with the $15,000 now available would give $05,000. If necessary tho city eould borrow for a short time the remaining $35,000 to put up n junior high building; then Set about, when that is paid for, tho building of a grade building. Or if it is thought beat to build the grade building first, do it that way and repeat tho operation in sueh a manner that both buildings will be put np without bond issues and utilize everything of value in the old buildings. Wb arc simply throwing out these suggestions l>eeauso we believe it is wise that those matters should bo con­ sidered thoughtfully nnd prepared for now, so that tho city may be enabled to build its now school buildings withont issuing bonds. Bonds have to be paid; and the yearly interest on $100,000 or $200,000 would be a large sum. It is bettor to anticipate the building of such structures nnd prepare far them and pay for thorn without interest bearing obligations if possible. Wo be­ lieve tho plan wo have outlined would accomplish that very thing. NEW EPWORTH LEAGUE OFFICERS INSTALLED Printed Georgettes / Flat Crepes ! -d ^QQO Delightfully new are these frocks.

CUE ITMNGE 10 FINE BJNOUET (Continued from page ono) ■ credit by merchants nnd encouragement to them by merchant* to buy on credit, until they over extended it; and that the habit of avoiding payment grew as n consequence, after the habit of buy­ ing ot^ credit had been encouraged by the merchant* until it had been strained to the breaking point. Credit he termed the best friend of some and for the general goo<l. Tho bad feature of it. of course, is that many people do not know how to ure their credit. Bo, if merchants are willing, they carry it to a degree thnt is not warranted and then trouble follow*. But if merchants will keep In constant touch with their credit bureaus and will lie prudent in tho extensron of credit, never giving it to a man who cares noth­ ing about paying his debts, a large nnd heavy dead weight resting upon busi­ ness would be removed. Mr. Hulse said that the biggest item in the overhead cspenso in most any re­ tail business is bad debts, whleh mean simply thnt tho merchant is n poor cred­ it man and does not-understand how to extend credit. If merchants could elim­ inate thia one item of loss to them in their business, Whleh is the biggest single item of their overhead expense, they would lie able to sell' good* for ,1cm money, and thereby enabled to give better service and lower prides to their customer*, they would And far leas reason for complaining of catalog houses or ehain store competition. • He appealed to merchants to study thrir Arid, study their customers, espec­ ially to apply the Golden Rule of doing -to others whst they would like other* to do to them in the extension of cred­ it; and that if they would do thia and use the information which every credit bureau is prepared to give 'them and And out what they eonld from that source about a prospective customer be­ fore he runs up a big account on their books, the greatest annoyance and hind­ rance and the groatoat sonree of io** in business would be removed. Mr. Hulse gave his vision of tko idenl credit exchange and of tho service thnt it could and would render to a commun­ ity. He declared it to be a moral asaet aged credit bureau oa the job. Wo are sure that the merchant* of this' city who were present felt that they had hoard an inspiring address, one that would be helpful to them in fulfilling their function of distributors of goo^U in tho community. Mr. Hulse paid a Ano compliment ta the Hasting* Credit Exchange and to Mias Cutnpbcll, who le in charge <rf It, because of tho eompletenew of ii* rec­ ords and the Ano service it had put it­ self in position to render. Ho said that If business mr.u of Hastings did not appreciate what the exchange '• doing for them it evidenced tho fket that they are not alive to their own best Inter­ Mist because, he said, Hasting* Cre<Ht Exchange has the information to curve every business ma* in Harting* in the matter of extending ertdit, nod would to° to bo of sarvioe. Wo arc sure that if Mr. Hul*j could over como this way again all those who heard him Monday night will b« boost­ er* for him, for he surely gave a timely and helpful talk.

And That Is to SA VE IT by Entrusting It to the Safe Keeping of Some Responsible Banking Institution, so it Can’t "Burn Holes in Your Pockets It’s always w(ell to have some things laid up for a “rainy day.” The “rainy day” of sickness, adversity, or hard times is pretty sure to come to evjery man at some time in his life. Too often it comes when advanc­ ing age makes it hardest to meet. Then it is that people give utterance to the vain regret and say, “Oh, if I had only saved my money when I had the chance.” You can start saving by depositing a very small amount—only a dollar or two —and add to it as rapidly as possible. You can be assured that when you leave your money here it will be free from every ele­ ment 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 re­ ceive it—will soon put you in possession of a snug sum, and the interest 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.

Tho committees * pur­ pose is to eliminate ea rales* neas 'by education in safe practices. During tho last seven years, the Routhorn Pacific Clone has moved 300 million passengers more/than 11 billion cumulative miles, without fatality to a passenger in steam train accident. In 1926 for each fatality to an employee in train nnd train service accidents, n train was run a distance equivalent to three times arouqd tho world. Statistics of tho Interstate Commerce Commission show a steady downward trend of neeidents on all tho railroad* with each succeeding year, tho direct resu)tlof systematic safety work. On thn other hand, vital statistics show that in 1925 mqre people werq kill­ ed by automobile* in Bnn Francisco alone than by all tho railroad* of tho Pacific Coast, including fatalities at grade crossings. ■ Wo hear much clamor of taxing tho people for grade changes, but very little of curbing reckless driving, which is chiming nine victims on the streets Automobile club* and associations gmy well follow the example of the railroads, perfect a safety organisation and edu­ cate drivers in safe practices.

Thousands were in the cemeteries all over the country last Sunday and Monday to pay tribute to their departed ones. All had an opportunity to see, and did see the various lots where they were visiting and they observed YOUR lot. We are wondering if its appearance was just what you wanted or was there an unmarked grave? Last year you resolved that before anoth­ er Decoration Day you would have your lot just as fine as any other—with a fine Granite Monument and Marker for all the graves. Did you do it? Or are you again planning to do this fine thing before next Decoration Day? , The resolution ia splendid, but such reso­ lutions are so often broken, and we are pub­ lishing this special announcement ju»t to call it to your attention and urge you to carry out your plans at once before another week, or month or perhaps a year slips past and find* your plans incomplete. We also wish you to know that we still have a choice assortment of beautiful de­ signs to choose from—or if you with some­ thing speciah'we will have our artist design just what you want “Mark &verij Qra^r^s IRONSIDE BROTHERS Phone 2497 Monuments and Markers i j I ' �WANTS ONE CENT A WORD.

OF INTEREST TO WORLD WAR VETERANS Lapsed Insurance Policies Must Be Reinstated Before July 2 —Only Three Weeks Hence For months past a campaign has been carried on to interest veterans of the World war in having their insur­ ance reinstated. The final date for reinstatement and conversion is July 2nd—only a littlo more than thro.' Appreciating the way it wa» support­ oil in it* time of need, by the young mon who stood by the colors, the government offered every service man the privilege of taking out insurance policies in any amount up to aahigh a* >10,000, and a’t a cost of from In to 25 per cent les* than the insurance could bo furnished by any insurance company in existence. The government officials figured this out so that it would receive no profit and made Ita rates way below what any organized insurance company could do, because it had to pay no taxes and made no charge for overhead expense*. The 4,500,000 boys who served the country took out over 39 billions of in­ surance, but after the close of the war inueh of it was allowed to lapse. The government started a campaign to per­ mit all those who allowed their policies to lapse to have their insurance rein­ stated, the final date for reinstatement and conversion being set for July 2, 1927. Bo all policies must be reinstated before that date. We understand that in Barry county over >50,000 of insurance ha* been re­ instated, but there are-many veteran* who have not yet taken advantage of the government's splendid offer to pro­ vide protection for much lea* than it would eost in any company. Life in­ surance policies are not only good, sound investment* but they provide the surest form of protection for tho family and the education and care of children.Legion Welfare Officer Frank W.

Ordinarily, women have to do all the treveling to the kitchen but, in thia instance, the kitchen will travel hun dreiis of miles in Michigan this summer to save steps for housewives. This kitchon ha* been bnilt on n truck by the agricultural engineering ami the home economics departments of Michigan Blate College.

Some of the miles trav­ eled each day by housewives can be saved by a simple rearrangement of kitehen equipment.

A pleasant, convenient room will assist in making this time n more enjoyable period for the housewife.

A* i» well known, in Detroit over eixty percent of tho automobile* made in thia country are manufactured. Ono would think that if any city on earth would bo intero4tcd in putting neroM a good road* program in Michi­ gan it would bo Detroit. It in .well remembered that, when tho gaaolino tax waa up in the firat place, it was Dotrdlt opposition, particularly from the Detroit Automobile) Club, that made itself felt at Lancing and kept that meaanro from being enacted into n law for four year*. It firat operated in a way that prevented the matter from coining la’fore thn legislature; then later induced the govenor to veto the ga* tnx law. d'Now wc have it and re*lira how much wc nee I it in thi* slate, because we arc beginning to cre­ ate n system uf cement highways from ono end of the state to the other. The auto manufacturer* of Detroit and through them tho city Itself are receiv­ ing benefits from tho *1:110’* road pro­ gram right along, as can well be imagined. * The financial condition of tho state was well known to the last legislature nnd to the people of Michigan. In order to make n showing of keeping down taxes, Governor Groesbeck hnd induced tho Blate Administrative Board to makq a levy loryrr than it should have Imen, *• that when we reached tho first of January lust, instead of n bal­ ance on hand in the various funds, as there should have been, there wa* an actual deficit of 15,000,000. The audi­ tor* have proven this beyond question. In order to enable tho state to meet it* expense* this year and still put on a road program which tho state "•> urgently needs, the legislature passed u law adding another cent to tho gasoline tax. This additional one eont would have given about $1,000,000 to cities through which trunk lines pass, in order to ineet part of the expense of keep­ ing such city street* ns arc used for trunk lines in good condition; also >1,000,000 would go to the counties in order thnt they could maintain tho county highways, anil $3,000,000 would have gone to tho state treasury to en­ able the state {o build road*. It was all urgently needed. 1 And now come* tho eity council of Detroit threatening to institute a ref­ erendum on the one cent gasoline tax to the people of Michigan to be voted on nt tho November election in 1928. The Detroit Automobile Club i* back­ ing this proposition. If tho necessary 32,000 signature* ean be obtained, and they ^an easily bo obtained in the eity of Detroit, the effect will bo to delay a suitable road program this year and next, nnd to deprive tho state of it* part of the $5,000,000 which this one eeat tnx would add to the revenues in 102H.

Detroit would get a part of this addi­ tional one cent tax nnd Wayne eounty would get a part of it; so there is no reason why there should bo opposition to it in Detroit or Wayno county.

Judge MePcek explained to tho men that he felt that they must receive pun­ ishment ; but he hoped that they would not Ik* so dismayed by the misfortune that had come upon them, due to their own sets, that they would give up at­ tempts to achieve a good life and make their lives of u«e to tho communities where they may live. He said he would consider tho fnct that they had already been practically three month* in the county jail in meting out tho *ontoncc. Ho said that he would also agree that their conduct in jail had been exem­ plary; nnd that they hnd been of **•iatnnec to tho officers in tho clearing up of the cose: all of which ho took in­ to consideration, as well as the fact thnt those who hail known them for year* spoke well of them. “But,” added tho judge, “there must be some punish­ ment; and I feel that in this case I will make it a* light a* I can consistently, believing thnt you will not offend ngain.” Ho, therefore, gave to cnch of them nine month* al Ionin as tho mini­ mum, fifteen years n* tho maximum, recommending thnt the nine months bo tho maximum sentence. To Jarno* Hopkins, charged with tnkf car without authority, the judge rnid: “I have found no nnc who think* you nrc nt heart n bad boy. If I wcro to judge, I would say thnt you have had too easy a time of it. No doubt thnt whorr you took tho car you intend­ ed to return it, ns you did.

I fee! thnt the next year will determine whether you nrc going to be a useful citizen or retrograde into n no­ account type of n man. I am going to punish you: but I nra also going to give you a ehnnee for yourself nt the same time. I, therefore, fine you $200 a* a fine and $10 as cost* in ydbr c-anc, nnd stipulate that you must earn tho money to pay thi* fine nnd costs, also for the services of the probation officer nt 50c per month. I mn going to give you two years in which to make good; but be­ ginning with July you must be nt work at some job anil you.muat continue to work. You must pay at -least $15 per month toward the fine nnd costs nnd 5Oc per month for the service of tho probation officer in addition to your own care nnd support nnd you must earn the money with which to do this. During tho time while you arc on pro­ bation you must not violate any law. You must not leave tho state. You must report to the probation officer reg­ ularly. You must abstain from liquor, initiate such a measure. nnd I understand thnt you nre not given to drinking. You must find steady em­ ployment, or at least work steadily. You must have n bank account; nnd regularly, on the first day of every term of circuit court, you will bo required to see me nnd we will go over the situation as it exist* up to that time. ' ”Whnt I want to say to you, Hop­ kins, is that you must right about face. A good citizen works and contributes something to the general good by his work. You must work if you want to bo n good citizen.” The judge reminded young Hopkins thnt if ho did not live up to thn condi­ tions of the parole he would Im? called into court and -sentenced under tho law Tor the offense ho hnd committed.

Several complaints had been made to Manager Clarence Gouch­ er of the local office. Ho wrote to the company telling them of these com­ plaints. One day lost week there was sent by tho company Mr. C. L. Daniels, ;i radio expert from tho Cleveland office of the company. Mr. Daniels soon put nn end to the trouble. He brought with him a powerful portable BuperHeterodyno receiving set. By means of this set he is able to locate interference manifested by n clicking noise which follows the pulsations of the telegraph key. . The reason why wo get sounds over a radio is because whenever there i» n spark of electricity passing from ono point to another ns happens in tho microphone there are invisible electric wnve* thnt go in every direction from the point where tho spnrk start* and, so far as science ia able to discover, these waves continue on forever nt tha rate of 1S6,000 miles per second. They pene­ trate everywhere, so that you enn have a receiving Act in tho bottom of a mine nnd hear the sounds thnt nrc passing through tho nir, which are transmitted by these electric, waves. To remedy the interference from the telegraph instrument, Mr. Daniels in­ stalled n “spark killer,” which elimi­ nate* sparking across tho point* of keys, also on relays and does away with the consequent interference. Of course there nrc other interfer­ ences besides telegraph instruments. There nrc motors which doubtless cause n good deni of trouble.

Mambors also of Michigan State Medical Society VACATION TIMM IB HEM. Tho joke about thn need of resting tip frotp vacation is becoming honry. It is not altogether a joke, especially ns eoheerni children. To the small child in tho first days after tho close of school, in the first days at farm or ' fatigue. Exhilarated by his freedom and by the novelty of release from school, thn child is apt to play too hard, to exercise too violently, and to And himself in n short time in a state of exhaustion. Exhaustion loads to irri­ tability and to a lowering of resistance that may bo distinctly injurious. Tho vacation is designed to so build np thn child during tho month* of sum­ mer sunshine thnt he mny better endure the strain of the eloudy months of win­ ter. If, Instead, he plunges into an orgy of play which results In exhaustion of his physical nnd nervous energy ho will t>c unlit for tho school months to follow. A succession of such summers and such winters will bring him to manhood with definitely depleted energy, with a rela­ tive unfitness for the burdens that will some to him with nintura years. Mothers nro tho busiest folk In the world, but if they eould find time to spend a quiet half hour with their chil­ dren immediately after the noon meal, rending to them, visiting with them or playing quiet games whieh do not in­ volve violent exercise, tho benefit to Imth mother and child would bo great. If, after tho evening meal and before tho hour for bpd, tho child eould enjoy quiet gninea, or could have a quiet even­ ing nround eninpfiro or fireplace, his health would benefit, and mind and body bo relaxed. Among devout families in tho years Ease by, tho evening time used to be an our for gathering around the family organ and singing hymns. Tha family orgnn has passed, tha simple devotion of those days has largely passed also, tho hymns of those days are many of them forgotten, but tha psychology of that old custom was very sound. Parents and children went to their rest in a peaceful, happy frame of mind, with thoughts exalted and taken out of self. Tha hours of sleep thnt followed wore quiet hours and full of rest. Tha restoration of that older practice ia Impossible; but a modern substitute could ba found, nnd wise parents will do wall to find it. Johnaoa Mpeoe.

Gould, Manager of the Gould Show, is interested in the Hastings Fire Department, and for years was Driver of the City Fire Truck. was one of the prime movers in putting across the COMMUNITY FIRE TRUCK, one of the best community propositions ever completed, and has more than justified itself in property saved. Mr. Gould, while connected with the Hastings Fire Department, advocated creating a Fund for the care of sick or disabled Firemen. To help start such a fund, he will DONATE 10 PER CENT of the ENTIRE WEEK S RECEIPTS, which will surely be a fine "boost." The Gould Players are recognized as one of the high class tent shows in the country, and all who attend the various entertainments will not only get their money's worth," but will be helping create a Fund for the benefit of Hastings firemen—a very commendable thing to do. It will be of interest to many to learn that Billy Walbourne, former well-known Comedian of the Treadwell-Whitney Company, is with the Gould Players. Mr. Walbourne is recognized as a high-class man and will be most favorably remembered by many Hastings people. Mrs. Walbourne is the trap-drummer for the Gould Players, and also plays the Marimbaphone, having one of the largest instru­ ments in existence.

Personal Announcements Regarding travelling tent shows which say they are being run for the benefit of local organizations. This state­ ment is made for one purpose only, to tell you frankly what we will do when such outside travelling tent shows come here claiming to put on their entertainment for the benefit of some local organization, when the so-called benefit represents but a small percentage of the receipts. ■ , A benefit is understood to mean a performance from which a substantial part of the proceeds are turned over to some worthy cause or local organization. Any tent show which comes to this city for a few days, and advertises that it is putting on the performance for the benefit of some local organization, and gives to that organization only a small per cent, is not playing fair with the public nor with that organization. It is not doing what it leads the public to believe. It is simply using that organi­ zation's name as a cloak, behind which it can arouse public interest and loyalty to that organization. . The Strand Theater will no longer submit to this kind of unfair competition. We give notice now that we will meet that kind of competition from any tent show that comes into this locality in this manner by getting the best counter attractions we can. The only time we will not do so will be on the following conditions, viz; CASTLETON CENTER. Mr. and Mrs. 8. J. Varney wore Grand Rapids visitors Thursday. Mr. nnd Mrs. Chas. Mead went to Clare Fridny, called there by tho death of Mr. Mend’s sister, Mrs. Allen. Mrs. Laura Everett and Mario at­ tended the Wilkinson family reunion nt the home of O. D.'Fassctt at Barry vlllc Thursday. . \ Mrs. Geo. Kenfii'hl (I.nn*ing stayed with her mother, Mr*. Mead, while Mr. nnd Mrs. Chna. Mead were awny. Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Linsca visited Mr. nnd Mrs. Geo. First er at Vermont- That the tent show, claiming to be so public spirited, must, when giving a benefit to some local organization give to such organization a sum equal to 50 per cent of the gross amount collected from the people, and thus make its entertainment a real benefit rather than just an advertising scheme. Mr*. Erviila Everett or Nashville visited her mother, Mrs. Varney, Thure- The Strand Theater holds itself ready at any time to assist in any worthy benefit; and when it does it expects to make a contribution that IS a benefit and not use a local organization as*an advertising medium.

First of all, it fits — as all your life you’ve wished a swimming suit might fit — without wrinkling. Before the admiring eyes of millions, North and South America. And at Europe's fashionable seasides such as Nice, Deau­ ville, Henley, Brighton Beach. And this same perfection of fit is the graces your body snugly, smoothly, easily.

There is a certain sadness in the picture of a whole group of people trailing because they have been told to oridl^-that it's good business." It seems questionable whether toe selling smile" really sells. Employes ot the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ■mile—perhaps more frequently than average indi­ vidual*—but when they smile it is because they feel like trailing—and for no other reason. Their smiles are spontaneous — happy — friendly — coo- It is inevitable that tn the Uvea of 29.000 men and women there arc times of misfortune—disap­ pointment—sadness—when only the bravest of smiles survive. On the whole, however, the lives of .the employe* of the Standard- Oil Company (In­ diana) are unusually happy and contented. They have work to do in the world that Is human and helpful—they are interested in it—and they are secure in the knowledge that the rewards of their work will be in proportion to the effort and ability they put into It. Employes of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) know that the Company is concerned about their welfare, having given substantial proof of its con­ cern by such measures as tloe Employes' Slock Purchasing Plans, the Death Benefit Ilan and toe Annuity nan. Faith in themselves, in the Company of which they are a part, in the product* which they help to produce, give* strength and stability to their lives. Employes of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have found one of life's few unfailing sources of satisfaction—work worthy of the best that is in them—and their attitude that "all** right with the world" is a healthy, wholesome result. The 29,000 employes of the Standard Oil Compony (Indiana) are loyal, contented workers. Strict integrity and fine principles rigidly adhered to, have inspired their loyalty. Fair treatment and a warm humanity have brought about their con­ tentment. This is "good business”—sane—simple. For in business it is not only what a man does, but how he doe* it, that counts. Discontented workers do half-hearted jobs, and discontent creeps into the product. The spirit of the employe* of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is reflected in toe products of the Company and in its service to the motoring ' public. Because tttry employe work* whole­ heartedly. the name of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has come to stand for certain definite solid thing* — absolute dependability — uniform products of the highest quality—eagerness and ability on the part of all employes to render the most helpful possible service to motorist*. The ability of the Standard Oil Company (In­ diana) to hold and deserve the confidence of the thirty million people of the Middle West ia due to the loyal and contented work of 29,000 men and women. Loyalty and contentment are priceless ingredients of all Standard Oil Company (Indiana) products.

On the south side of the river, be­ ginning about a mile west of tho city limit* in Rotl*nd, a Covert road was hid out from the Intersection with M-43 westward and a little northward until it reaches tho Gate* school house In Yankee Spring* and then north into tha village of Middleville. All but two nnd ono half miles of this road have been completed. The board * on Friday authorized the completion of the two and nine sixteenth* mile> in 1929. This will give a complete gravel road from this eity to Middleville on the south side of the Thornapplc river. The road and bridge, committee con­ sisting of Supervisors N. H. Barber, Fred A. Smith and Fred O. 8tokoe, unanimously recommended this action There were two other stretches of Covert road, ono leading from Delton cart about ton mile* to-a point whora It would intersect M-37 near the Bris­ tol sehool house In Johnstown; another beginning at the Hinds school house in Hope and extending south to the Bun­ nell school hopse nnd thence southward to where it would intereaect tho Del­ ton-Hickory Corners road. No work hns been done on these road* sinrj the petitions were filed some time ago. There were very urgent reasons pre­ sented to the board why both of these roads should be ttuilt. On tho recommendation of tho Coun­ ty Road Coi.miission nnd with the npprovnl of tho road and bridge com­ mittee of tho board, it was voted Thurs­ day to build five miles of each of these two roadway* in the year 1928, the preliminary work to be dono in 1927. and the balance of the two read* to be completed in 1031. Tho Dolton road onst will be begun next year at Dolton and carried five miles cast to the Bunnell school hou«e. What may bo called tho Cedar Creek road, lolling squth from the' Hines school, the board voted should bo start­ ed next year and completed for five miles, which will connect tho two road* at tho Bunnell school house. This will give the people living along the Cedar Creek road, that is now unimproved and is always in a terrible condition during tho late fall, winter and early spring months, a fehanee to get to mar­ ket either at Deltpn or Hastings on a good road. It will also accommodate half of tho resident* living on the road from Delton east to the Bristol school house. Wo believe tha board has acted wisely in these matters.

ITEMS | The Key to Wealth Is Systematic Saving And you cannot get away from it. The world’s most successful business men did not accumulate their fortunes in a day. 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. Saving Money is Not An Easy Thing to Do —because we all see so many chances to spend it. There’s an old saying that “you can’t eat your cake and have it.” It’s just the same way with your money. You can’t spei)d it and »ave it at the same time. In order to save you must do without some things you would like to have—but things you can get along without just as well. Get the Habit of Saving —a part of your weekly or monthly sAlary and depositing it in this bank. We will pay you 3 per cent, compounded twice each year. As your savings grow you’ll be surprised how rapidly the interest accumulates. Saving is the time-tried and proven foundation of success; it’s the assurance of an old age free from the pangs and sorrows that poverty brings. Why not commence' systematic saving today? Hundreds have started with us, WHY NOT YOU? Hastings National Bank Phone 2217 The Only National Bank in Barry County I> xuceesa it was.

Fred 344,679 car owners sayBuickwillbeMe/rnext car Motorists everywhere in the Middle West are running up records with Iso Vis. Thousands of them are writing in surprise and appreciation to the Standard. Oil Company (Indiana) to tell the good news of Iso-Vis performance. One motorist calls Iso-Vis a “peace of mind" motor oil. It is a peaceful feeling to know that the motor is perfectly protected by an oil which maintains a practically constant viscosity—that will stay on the job from start to finish—pre­ venting wear and tear in the engine—preventing trouble — making every mile of motoring smooth I Iso-Vis — the con­ stant viscosity motor oil—gives you that certain knowledge. Iso-Vis is made in different grades — to meet the require­ ments of every type of engine. Use the grade recommended for your car. Under-normal operating conditions the oil level . should be checked every 100 miles. Keep the crankcase at v least three-quarters full.' If tlris precaution is taken, a com­ plete draining and flushing of the motor oil once each 1000 miles is all that is necessary. ■With new cars equipped with effective oil filtering devices, draining once each 2000 miles qr more is sufficient! Iso-Vis costs more per quart but motorists have found that it costs' less per mile. It lasts longer and wears better! Taxi companies have found that by using Iso-Vis they are able to reduce repair bills and to cut the cost of lubrication. You’ll appreciate the efficiency of Iso-Vis (30c per quart). Try it once — and motoring will hold new pleasures. Iso-Vis “F" for Fords. ty’s business.

Your Warm Weather Wants ichigan What Better Railroad Service Has Meant to Business Agricultural commodities have shown an upward tendency in prices during the current year, while the course of industrial and raw material prices has taken a downward trend. We have been going through a period of price re-adiustments—always a critical time for business—but, in this instance, there were not the usual accom­ panying shocks to business peculiar to such periods. The major reason for this absence of disturbances in business is that smaller inventories are being carried nowadays since the tail­ road service of the country assures certain and speedy delivery. Traders carry smaller stocks, and business, therefore, is carried on with less capital and with fewer hazards. More stabilized business conditions are assured American business, and with these, consequently, failures become less likely and less frequent. What the workings of the Federal Reserve Act proves to be to business, through the stabilizing of credits, the improved steam railroad transportation service is accomplishing through its regular and its prompt deliveries. So the large outlays to better the service have Justified themselves. Both expedients work to the same end in their respective sphere^-They avert the shocks. In Michigan, this is particularly true. In Home Furnishings —can be taken care of at our stor e in a better manner—as the large stock which we carry allows our customers better selections than they could find in almost any other place. OAK DINING TABLES FLORENCE AUTOMATIC FOCUSED HEAT OIL STOVES We find at this time we have in our Used Furniture Department several Round Ped­ estal, Quartered Oak Dining Tables.

The price, to close them out will be If you are tired of cooking on an old, worn out wood or oil stove, we would eatneatly solicit you to come in and see some of the wonderful possibilities of the New Florence line of oil cook stoves. The Florence ovens are the finest cake and cookie bakers we' have yet seen, $12.00 for Your Choice. First Come, First Served. If you are unable to call, drop us a card and we will gladly mail you full particulars regarding this wonderful stove. Vast sums, in recent years, have been expended to achieve this new standard of service. Seven of the nine railroads serving Michigan alone are expending this year nearly $26,000,000 in new engines an d ears and in improve­ ments and betterments which will continue these stabilizing forces. Don’t Forget That We Are Giving a B ig Discount on Strictly High Grade Gibton Re frigeratori These expenditures, too, were made right at home, and at time when the lull in industry, through which we have just passed, was at its low ebb. Therefore, these $26,060,000, going largely to labor, raw materials and manufactured commodities, served appreci­ ably to buoy.up conditions. , . Michigan railroads have, therefore, been more than local MILLER FURNITURE COMPANY common-carriers. They have, through their service, removed some of the hazards inherent in business in former years.

HRYSLER has just announced a new high compression engine. Undoubtedly other manutacturers win do the same thing. That means a new race of motor cars— swifter —more flexible — more powerfull C -. Now that Red Crown Ethyl is on the , market, high compression engines can be built and operated. Red Crown-Ethyl Gasoline te a high com­ pression fuel. . For years engineer, have wanted to build high compression engines. They coiud not because there was no fuel to feed them. The usual type of gasoline knocks and loses power when compressed beyond certain limits. Red Crown Ethyl “Knocks Out That Knock”. You'll hardly recognize your old car if you feed it Red Crown Ethyl! Power when you need it—speed when you want it—get-up and go every mile! An engine lively and eager and quick! Red Crown Ethyl “knocks out that knock"— uses carbon. Carbon de­ posits raise the compression of your engine. That's why—with old type gasoline—carbon causes knocks. • With Red Crown Ethyl it’s different Red Crown Ethyl is a high compres­ sion fuel. The more carbon —the higher the compression—the better Red Crown Ethyl works. This remarkable gasoline gives you the benefits of high compression. That's the scientific reason back of its remarkable performance. That's why hundreds of thousands of motor­ ists in the Middle West will use no other gasoline! CLOVERDALE. Lust Wuek’s Latter.

With tho addition of the now pump, which was added nearly two years ago, the eity is now nicely situated so far as pumping plant ia concerned. Tho old Deane puinp has been In operation for 40 years, ever since tho plant was in­ stalled. “It is still <)olng good work and with a few repairs would be as good ns new,” says City Engineer Sparks. The Smith-Vail pump, which has been in service for nbout thirty years and is larger than tho Deans, ia also in good condition and needs very littlo to put it in excellent condition. The now fly wheel type of pump, whieh was the latest addition to the outfit, is largely for emergonriea. Tn pump fills the gap very nieely and ean alone take care of any demand that mny bo made upon fllo pumping station. The operation of tho eity plant under City Engineer Sparks has boon very creditable.

If tho eititens would consent to have a standpipe a considerable raving could bo made in operating eost*, but there seems to be such a deeldwl opposition that, there ia little hope for it.

HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, JULY 13, 1927 An Underlying Economic Cause for Our Prosperity and Productiveness, Our High Wages, High Stand­ ards of Living and Our Huge Savings Bank Deposits There appeared in the Saturday Evening Post of July 0, a very sound and well written artiele hy Bamuel G. Blithe, ono of lhe best informed of tho contributors to that paper, who is widely known as an-author of sound judgment and reasoning. The theme of hi* artiele is “Inquiries Into a Mng Dry Spell.” Mr. Blythe first starts by considesing the faet that, alaeo tho advent of prohibition, certain people in thia country - who ought to know better and from whom a far different line of eonduet ought to think that, because they are forbidden the use of slcoholie liquors ns a bever­ age therefore they ought to defy that law and drink more and more of the concoctions that pass aa beverages In these days. . These people are largely of the soclety class. Tho moral phase of the situa­ tion evidently docs not appeal to them at all, because society women as well as men seem to think that they must tank up on liquor at bridge parties, dancing parties and maqy other kinds of social functions where tho smart set congre­ gate. Not only that, but their young folks follow tho example of their elder* and also imbibe more freely than they should, and this with the apparent con­ sent of their elderi. Mr. Blythe states that he views this 12546398 rapacity to think sanely and connect­ edly has declined because of liquor drinking—4f these people keep on, one thing will surely happen. Their num­ bers will be greatly reduced by reason of what they ore doing; because the liquor now is far more deadly than formerly. The sane, sensible people of the United States, who ride in auto­ mobiles and do not care to encounter drunken drivers, nor to make themwives irresponsible while driving highpowered machines, are not going to fol­ low the smart set in their liquor drink­ ing, in the judgment of Mr. Blythe. We would Im? glad to sum up some of the statements Mr. Blythe uses. “It is true enough that in certain sections, among certain people and in certain places, »ueh as fashionable sum­ mer and winter resorts and in various phases of eity night life, drinking is more evident than it was when drinking .was a diversion and not a dementia. But it is not true that prohibition has put this country on a national debauch.

Both of Discovery of a Good Oil Field Would Mean a Lot to the Oounty Considerable interest is being shown in the possibilities of Barry County as nn oil-producing section, by people liv­ ing outside of the state. In Assyria and Maple Grove eastern men have quietly leased thousands of acres of land and will prospect for oil. Tho same is true of adjoining territory over tho lino in Eaton County. We are informed that several car loads of oil drilling equip­ ment have been shipped to Charlotte, and that-active drilling operations will soon bo under way. That there is oil In Michigan is be­ yond question, because at Saginaw an active oil field is already in operation. As a rule, we understand the Saginaw wells are small producers, though one well is reported to lie producing 50 bar­ rels a day. In any event the field must look good to oil men for the reason that tho Standard Oil Company is going to creet a refinery in that eity, and Stand­ ard Oil has the reputation of not blow­ ing in its money without just cause or provocation. Geologists, as a rule, have not highly regarded tho oil “possibilities’’ of Michigan, and oil men have passed the state by. But the constantly expand­ ing field at Saginaw may have caused them to change their views. It is pretty hard to tell what is down in the earth a half a mile or more below us. A drill is the only thing that will definitely determine it. Every encour­ agement should be given capitalists to ascertain, because drilling oil wells is n expensive pastime, and beyond the (Continued on page three) AL-GON-QUIN REALTY CO* HAS BEEN INCORPORATED GOVERNOR GREEN HAS REDEEMED HIS PROMISE Wm.

As has been related in these columns, tho evidenee was purely circumstantial, but was so convincing nnd so complete, that the jurj- was out but a short time before returning with a verdiet of "guilty." Friday morning Revis was brought be­ fore Judge MePeek for sentence. Before pronouncing it. the Judge called atten­ tion to the ability and natural endow­ ments of tho defendant, and said that such people as be should strive to make good citizens of themselves, rather thnn permit the. influences of an "easy life" to control their actions. In con­ clusion the Judge sentenced Revis to spend three, and a half to five Jackson prison wltk a reeonimendation of three and a half years. .

PROTECTION OF HOME INDUSTRIES UPHELD Tho constitutionality of tho flexible the'president may raise or lower import duties 50 per cent, has been upheld by n unanimous opinion of tho United States Court of Customs Appeals. The court held that delegation of aueh nuthority to the preridefit was a valid excrciw of the constitutional grant of power to Congress to regulate com­ merce. “But is the levying of discriminatory duties upon certain classes of import* in order to protect and encourage cer­ tain domestic industries a proper exer­ cise of the constitutional grant of power to regulate commerced" thq opinion asked, and continued: “This raises a question which niny bo answered by reference to* legislative enactments and judicial pronouncements extending back to the beginning of our government." The opinion cited the preamble of the iff measure ennetod, whieh declared it necessary to levy duties for the “pro­ tection of manufacturers." • “Following this Mt,“ thn opinion said, “a legislative policy of protec­ tion for the United Mtates'began, a pol­ icy which has continued through every general tariff revision act, aud in many custom* administrations and other acts from thnt time to the present.

DRUGS AND DRUG SUNDRIBS Hooting*, Mich The Key to Wealth Is Systematic Savin And you cannot get away from it. The world's most successful business men did not accumulate their fortunes in a day. 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. Saving Money is Not An Easy Thing to Do —because we all see so many chances to spend it. There's an old saying that "you can’t eat your cake and have it." It’s just the same way with your money. You can't spend it and save it at the same time. In order to save you must do without some things you would like to have—but things you can get along without just as well Get the Habit of Saving —a part of your weekly or monthly salary and depositing it in this bank. We will pay you 3 per cent, compoun ded twice each year. As your savings grow you’ll be surprised how rapidly the interest accumulates. Saving is the time-tried and proven foundation of success; it's the assurance of an old age free from the pangs and sorrows that poverty brings. Why not commence systematic saving today? Hundreds have started with us, WHY NOT YOU? Hastings National Bank Phone 2217 Hastings, Mich.

One outstanding contribution is an immense pro­ gram of marking air trails by guide marks painted on the roots of its wareliouscs. When the need arises, with the expansion of commercial aviation, these may be illuminated as guides for night flying. • The Air Mail has conclusively disposed of any misgivings about night flying. It Ims shown that not only is it practical and safe to fly at night when the right facilities are provided, but that tlicrc arc atmospheric and other advantages in night flying. It seems partkularty appropriate that the Stand­ ard Oil Company (Indiana) should provide these landmarks of the air. ' For years the signs of thia Company have betfl familiar landmarks on all the highways and the byways of the ten great Middle Western States, and now this service is being extended to the air. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has devel­ oped gasoline and motor oil to meet the require­ ments of every type of automobile and has distrib­ uted these products where they could be obtained conveniently throughout lhe Middle West. Extending its service to meet the needs of trans­ portation in the air. the technical division of this Company has developed special gasolines and lubri­ cating oils for airplanes. It is now supplying a large part of the gasoline and oil for aviation. ' The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has pointed the way to,motorists— furnishing free maps of the ten slates—charting places of interest and beauty, publishing information about them, and giving their exact locations on motor highways. To point the way to aviators, by mcanf rway designation on the roofs of its warety is but an expansion of this service. In-the ail, as well as on the land, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) will act at a friendly guide. . This Company is always found in lhe front rank of progress. In the early days it went ahead with the pioneers and helped to chart the uncharted prairies of the Middle West.

Coun’ try Life Conference Iso=Vls Gives'Surprising ' Results” Thousands of people are writing to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) expressing their surprise at the results they get from using Iso-Vis. That is because Iso-Vis does what no other motor oil has ever done before—it holds its body —maintains constant viscosity. Here is one of the thousands of letters received from enthusiastic motorists: White Arrow Garage Otto P. Seegert, Prop. Hustisford, Wise. March 23, 1927 Standard Oil Co. Milwaukee, Wis. Dear Sirs: I am operating a 2% ton Kissel truck, hauling milk. Have used Iso-Vis for the past three months with surprising results. I formerly drained and refilled the crank case every 700 miles, but Iso-Vis has increased my mileage to 1,200 miles; and even then the body is still good. I heartily recommend Iso-Vis to any one seeking an efficient and economical motor oil. Respectfully, I Otto P. Seegert ' Iso-Vis—at 30c per quart — is an “efficient and economical motor afl” —lasts longer—makes your car last longer—and givesy ou more motoring satisfaction than you’ve ever known Iso-Vis “F” for Fords.

If 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 financier, of today, or any time in our past, they ALL started in by SAVING. That’s the first necessary step toward “Success.” Saving money isn’t always an EASY thing to do, but it IS a SIMPLE thing to do. It demands just one thing—and that is to spend less than you earn, and make your money WORK FOR YOU. That’s all there is to it If you’ll watch closely you’ll find there is more SAVINGS BANK “LUCK” than any other. You can become one of the “LUCKY” ones your­ self by opening an account here.

VARIATION IN TEST A reader of Hoard'* Dairyman re­ cently wrote to the Question* nnd An­ swers Department n* follows: On March 3 one of my eow* freshen­ ed and on the visit of tho eow tester March 19 he gave her a month's record of 1,380 lbs. milk testing 3.0 or 49.7 lb*, fat. I thought she ought to test more, so took a sample of her milk to the creamery two day* later and tho test showed 4.7 per cent fat. Could there lie such variation in teat in two days when a eow receives the same feed and caret How much will cow* vary in test from year to year! Wisconsin. in test is not usual with cows, although this docs hnppcn occasionally. It is frequently difficult to awtign n cause for Jhi* variation in test, as there nre a great many factor* that influence the test of milk and they are not readily recognised. Sometimes when n cow come* in heat she will raise tho test very materially, and again her test will decline. The same hold* true of sud­ den change* in weather, exposure lo cold, sudden change* in feed, nnd a va­ riety of other things. There is, of course, tho possibility thnt either the sample in the first ease. wns not taken correctly oy that nn error was made in sampling or in testing tho second time. It is quite possible to make an error of this kind, aud we would not condemn the tester unless wo were in a position to note a repetition of careless methods in doing his work. * While the above named causes arc* most usually assigned, yet with our present knowledge of the physiology of milk accretion wc arc unable to jonnect these variations with their particular “Surely the way* of the cow are very strange." . Some year* ago the Michigan Station studied 2’0 record* made under ordi­ nary herd conditions where regular feed­ ing and milking were practised, togeth­ er with 2,070 record* of Official Ad­ vanced Registry tests. From the dnta thus secured the following conclusion* were drawn: One may expect that dur­ ing seven consecutive days about 30 per cent of a herd ,*uf cow* will show n range in the percentage of fat in the milk at different milking* of one per cent or loss; 50 per eent will show a ceqt; and the remaining 0 per eent of the herd will show oven greater faria, tian. In other word*, six per cent of the cow* ujlght yield milk testing 3 per cent fat in one milking during the week and at some other milking produce milk containing fl per eent fat.

The fact remain* that thi* docs happen and more often than not a reasonable nnd positive answer ennnot be given. About nil that wo are able to *ay at the present time is that the fluctuation in the compostion of the milk from the snme cow is much greater and more common thnn i* often assumed. Why it should be so, science ha* n* yet been un­ able to say, although fautny men have sought taj’xplain it. A cow will average to tert very much the same from year to year, the general tendency taing to raise the te»^ slightly until she i* mature and then to have the test decline.

Twentyone 4-pasSenger Coupes or Victorias of other makes, selling for $20 to $1445 more than The Dictator Victoria, have fess power. VALUE Its economical operation rivals its low first cost— low because Studebaker builds practically every vital part for this car in its own plants and thereby saves the profits of outside parts-makers. These savings are returned to you in extra equipment, a bigger and more powerful motor, and fine-quality workmanship and materials.

Twcnty-tuo thousand people are killed and 660,000 injured annually by ■utomohita, according tn the News Tribune o( Duluth. Tfa quotation below is from an editorial of thia paper tor May 9th. "There is still an imperative need of more systematic study of the means of preventing or gradually reducing auto­ mobile- accidents. "It has been shown that only a small percentage of the accidents which happen are due to defect* in Hie care or can rightly be called unavoidable.

An all silk boot of 27 inches of medium weight silk, with pointed heel, which gives such a slenderizing effect to the ankle. In all the new shades. Per pair, only $1.10. Blue Crane 12X $1.‘9 Blue Crane "12X” ushers in a new era in the making of hosiery. Instead of 240 needles being used in the knitting, 300 are used, making the hose much finer, requiring consider­ ably more silk than in the older process. Giving Xtra wearing qualities and Xtra snug fit. With boot of 27 inches and pat­ ented narrow petite heel. In all the new shades. And what a difference in hose for this Xtra 19c! Munsingwear Full Fashioned Silk Hose $1.50 This hose at $1.50 is surely worthy of the name “Munsing­ wear.” Beautifully fashioned, with all silk boot of 27 inches, which brings the silk well above the knee, garter run stop and short lisle top of 3'/. inches. In all the newest shades. Be sure to visit the hosiery booth this week and if in need of silk hose (and who isn’t) be sure to see these numbers. • (Continued from page one) Register at the Hosiery Booth—You Might be Lucky been unduly increased.

Don't Let Your Community Make the Same Mistake Within recent years many communities have made the mistake of paving their highways at what they considered a “bar­ gain price." The taxpayers thought they would save thousands of dollars. nd Lillian In many instances the maintenance has not only wiped out the hoped lor saving, but has exceeded original cost. And in many cases also it has been necessary to build entirely new streets—of permanent construction. There are communities,however, which know the cheapest is not always the best. Many of these also built streets several years ago. And they built for permanence with concrete. Those concrete streets, built in accord­ ance with approved standards ol highway construction, are in as good condition today as when they were built.

Yet Wayno county is fighting that in­ creased tax bitterly although the pur­ pose of tho increased gasoline tnx is to make more paved roads; and more pavod roads moan more automobiles Wayne county supplies at tho rate of two out of every three that are sold. But if Wayno county can have its wny, this additional ono cent tax would bo junked for no reason apparently than that Wayne wants the rest of tho GUARANTEED! in in 1028.

It ia encouraging news: Quack grass, one of the most difficult spreading through the state at an alarm­ ing rate. Within tho past year several mw patches have become establiahad in field* where non* grew before. Farmer* believed the seeds or root* were carried to the so fields by bird* or windstorm*. Before tho owner* discovered th* “infestation," the quack grass becam* thoroughly established nod now they arc aonfronted with the task of finding tho easiest and most practical method of eradicating tho weed. Ralph 8. Hudson, superintendent ef thn Michigan Btato college farms, has done more toward finding tho best meth­ od* to eradicate quack than perhaps any other farmer in Michigan. His experience was gained largely upon a farm recently purchased by tho slate board of agriculture. Part of the farm quack for the purpose of preventing sand blows. — - Divide* Field Into Plot*. One SO-acrc field was divided into eight plots and Mr. Hudson conducted a number of worth while experiments. Tho first plot wa* plowed six inches deop late In October and wa* thoroughly fitted with dire harrow and spring tooth drag in April. It was limed and seeded to oats and alfalfa April 20. Quack {ras* was very evident in thick patches y July 10 of the following year. Tho second plot was fall plowed eight inches drop. It was replowcd throe inchc* deep on May 20. It was har­ rowed five times with a spring tooth drag at intervals of 10 days, or every time gras* appeared. It was limed and seeded to Alfalfa Aug 12. Thcro wa* no evidence of quack on July 10 thi* Quack Reappear* in Sixth. The depth of plowing wa* roveraod in the third p|ot. It wa* plowed throe inches deep in tho fall and eight inches in the spring. It was fitted and seeded as the second plot and no quack was in evidence July 10. Tho fourth plot was fall plowed six inches deep, harrowed six times and seeded as in the second end third plots. No quack was in evidence July 10. Tkc next plot was fall plowed six inches deep but burrowed eight times with a ■pedal tool. It wa* limed and seeded to alfalfa Asg IB- and no quack wa* present the following season. Quack gras* reappeared in the sixth plot, which wo* fall plowed six inches deep and harrowed eight times tho fol­ lowing year with n special tool before being seeded to alfalfa Aug 12. Quack grass seemed killed but soon reappeared In scattering patches by July 10. Tho grass also reappeared in ths seventh plot whieh wa* s{JVing plowed aix inches deep, waa harrowed five time* nnd discod five times beforu seeding to alfalfa Aug 12. Quack grass reappeared in thick patches by July 10. • The eighth plot wa* treated tho sama as tho seventh except it was not seeded to alfalfa Aug IS.

Who Come to This Country—Impossible to Get Them If Not Quickly Oaught In discussing tho difficulty which he encountered in finding tho Mexican, Fil lipe Contreras, Hhcriff Leonard made a suggestion which we think ought to be carried out by the United States government. Hundred* of Mexicans cross the border every week and come into this country to work. It is the sheriff's belief that, when a company of Mexieans, like those who were brought to Woodland,#nro engaged for such service a photograph and n finger print of each one should be insisted on nod deposited with the offiecry. Then, in ease of trouble, it would be much easier to Ioeato and identify any one of them if there should be need for making arrests. Take tho ease of Contreras, there wasn't a picture of him in ’existence. No finger print was ever taken, nothing to identify him or describe him to anybody else. Fortunately ha had not enough money to get away very far. He had no conveyance, so he did not move far from the aeene of his crime: but in case he had gotten outside of Barry county; had ho succeeded in reaching one of the big cities, it would have been impossible to have pursued him with any hope of success, because of n laek of photograph or linger print.

Hut the ropponod deceased pcraon later returned to Hillsdale and demanded her .hare of the estate which the admin­ istrator declined to pay because it had been paid to other persons, with the full approval of the probate judge of that county. This nippoaedly deecaned heir then sued the administrator for her share under the will, nu the theory ad­ vanced by her attorney thnt the probate judge did not, and could not have, juris­ diction except in canes of actually de­ ceased person, in the disposition of property. As this woman, believed to be dead, had returned to Hillsdale very much alive, it was conclusively shown that she was not dead. Therefore, reasoned the attorney for the woman, the probate court hnd no jurisdiction and could not sanction tho administrator In disponing of this woman’s shore of the estate on thi-sthcory that she wns dead, when as a matter of fact she wasn’t. Therefore, the woman mind the administrator for has been brought before Judge Eggles­ ton in the Barry county probato court in disposing of thn share of Emmett Alverson, a residuary legatee under thu will of Maria Earl, who died about five years ago. Mr. Aiverson could not lie located, his own family knowing noth­ ing of his whereabout*, no hi» share of >251 in tho estate has been placed by tho administrator of the estate, E. A. Parker, in the county treasury. It will­ lie held there for a period of three yeara before i( can be disposed of. The wife and two daughters of Em­ mett Alverson had petitioned Judge Eg­ gleston to declare Emmett Alverson a “disappeared person.’’ which is a ternr used in Act 205 of the Public Acts of 1925. If Judge Eggleston xhall hold that Mr. Alverson is a disappeared person, as defined In that law then, at the expiration of three years, his, Alver­ son’s wife ami two daughters will re­ ceive this money. . This law has been upheld nnd pro­ This ease eamo up to the highest nounced constitutional by the supreme court in tho state on appeal, and the contention of the attorney for this heir was fully sustained, the taurt holding that n proltate judge had no jurisdic­ tion in sanctioning the lUapoaition of ptopertv except* in cnse of a deceased person." Therefore, that' tho supreme court would not sanction an adminis­ trator’s paying to someone else the share of an estate which belonged to this supposedly dvreased heir, when ax a matter of* fact she wax not dead. Hence a probate court had no jurisdiction in sueh a care.

For many years, as can be seen by tho picture Which we give above, Mr. and Mrs. AMERICAMUSTNOW NUIKlffl The failure of the Geneva Confer­ ence to arrive at an agreement to limit tho kinda of navnl vend* of Great Britain, Japan and tho United State*, which wore not included in t)>c Wash ington agreement, mean* tho way i* open now for a real axpan*I6h program. There doc* not wem to be anything e|»c for the United Slate* to do, in view of the situation thnt now cx]*t*, except tn Im' prepared for any emergency thnt may arise, with a fleet that ehall bo equal to tnat of any other nation on earth. Wo are glad therefore to learn that, in a conference recently held at the President'* summer home in the Black Hill* by tho President and Secretary Wilbur of the Navy, It wa* agreed tu reCQjnUlCmLjhr completion of eight 10,000 ton cruiser* carrying eight Inch gun* within the next three year*, also to plnn for at 1ca»t 10 more of the name type. For cnii»er» smaller than thi* the United State* will not have sueh great need, but *hc will proceed to build some fast one* for scouting purpose* aa we|l s» etill faster one* for charing sub­ marine* and will al«o need some furth­ er* rnrriers far airplane*. It I* regrettable thnt impoveriehed Europe eould not *ec the light with reference to limiting naval vessels not of the battleship claim. The failure of tho conference can be placed square-, ly at the door of England which, with characteristic *tnbbornnc»*, insists thnt it must carry out it* own plana, without reference to what they may do to the rc»t of Europe or to the world. Wo are glad that the representative* of the United State* in that conference made it very plain to tho British that their scheming to mnko the United State* in­ ferior to Great pritain in the wny of n navy would not be permitted to go un­ challenged. The United State*, so it* representatives declared, would be pre­ pared to meet whatever program Great Britain might ace fit to adopt. Thia, it wa* made plain, wax ni.l done with the idea that we nre planning 'for a war with England, which we surely are. not; but la due to the fact that we do not want to lot her atatesmen feel that they can put ua in nn inferior claa*. . America put her card* all on tho table, told just what »he would like to do and that ahe would like a real limi­ tation of armament* and ships. Japan seconded tho motion, but England balk­ ed it. Future event* may show thnt Eng­ land, acted wisely. It may be thnt her statesmen know some thinga thnt nre going on in Europe, that we do not know, that made it wire for them to de­ mand twice the tonnage in the cniirer claiui thnt America propored and that wn* acceptable to Japan. Speaking generally it i» certain how­ ever that people who prepare for trouble, and are looking for it, generally find It; and the very fact that Great Britain which ennnot afford it, ia going ao extensively into the building of cruiser* will be an invitation to trouble afid will lead to combination* against her, which .will make it more difficult for her to protect her commerce, which •he declare* to be her *ole object in add­ ing so many new eniirer* to her fleet. In 1931, to which tho Washington conference of 1921 wa* adjourned, to meet again in that eity, it ia very probable that what Englnnd hn* done nt tho Genova Conference will prevent an agreement on capital »hip*. such a* wa* made at Washington in 1921. Then the foolish race for building big armed ship* will be on. The United State* doesn’t like it, ha* doue it* best to prevent it; but it will Imj compelled, be­ cause of it* own *afoty, nnd because of tho Monroe Doctrine to have a navy that will equal the biggest in Europe.

Iso = Vis has set a new standard. Whatever oil is used it is good practice to check the oil every one hundred miles find keep the crankcase at least threequarters full. With Iso-Vis in the crankcase you need change the oil only once in a thousand miles. If your car is new and equipped with an effective oil filtering device, draining the crankcase once in two thou­ sand miles is sufficient. Iso-Vis gives such unusual performance because it is a constant viscosity motor oil. It does not lose its body. The writer of the following letter is one of the many thousands of motorists in the Middle West who have discovered this amazing and significant fact. • k 4 Pioneer Island Creek Block and Millers Creek Nat OUR SPECIALTY!

The Best Permanent Market In the State A Ton of Poultry A Day Shipped During July ! We Could Have Sold Twice As Much If We Could Have Had It! Why Don’_t You Raise^ MOR E Poultry 4 h Much of the poultry we have bought and shipped during the season we have obtained by truck load from vicinity of Holland and west of Grand Rapids. This can be done only at an expense. If we could get all the poultry we needed right here in Barry County we could pay still higher prices. $ 1 00,000 this year for poultry and most of it going out of Barry County and Hastings. KEEP THIS MONEY AT HOME by raising poultry for ua. The reason we can assure you of a permanent and profitable market for your poultry is because of our trade connections in Detroit. They have agrowing demand for all the poultry we can furnish them. They get it fresh every day, leaving Hastings at mid­ night, arriving on Detroit market in the morning.

Starts in $100-a-Month Position at 18 "I am frankly confessing," writes Howard Creps, "that when I enrolled for the Secretarial Science Course at Argubright’s I was skeptical. So many schools make big claims for themselves, yet place their graduates in ordinary, poorly-paid positions that, in spite of the evidence Argubright’s placed before me, I harbored an idea that when I grad­ uated I would be sent to some ‘office job.’ ' "But I hadn’t been a student long until I realized that Argubright’s was a truly ‘different’ school. * Every week I saw young men and young women going forth to the finest kind of starting positions, and many of them told me they had their choice of . several good places. I saw many letters from for­ mer students telling of promotions and salary raises. And as time went on 1 began to realize that the training I was receiving was not training for some ordinary, routine office position, but for responsible work of an executive naturt. ' “And on the day of my graduation came the finest proof of all. Mr. Mens, the Vice-President, called me into his office and told me a splendid position was awaiting me in the offices of the Gale Manufacturing Company, right in my home town —Albion, Mich.

Certificates for all cows that qualify for lhe Record,of Performance will bo iiwueil by tho Dairy Department of tho Michigan Slate College and a year book will bo published giving tho records of all these eowa in Michigan Cow Testing Associations. Volume No. Two of the Reeord of Performance was closed Dec. 31, 1926 nnd contained almost 1,050 en­ tries. From now on until Dee. 31, 1927 the‘Dairy Department will accept en­ tries for the third volume whieh each certificate holder will receive free of charge. The production requirements are «aa follows: a. Heifers starting roeord under three years old must produce 280 lbs. or more of butterfat. b. Cows starting reeord under four and over three years old must produce 310 lbs. or more of butterfat. e. Cows starting reeord under five nnd over four years old must produce 350 lbs. of butterfat. d. Cows starting reeord when five years old or over must produce 400 lbs. or more of butterfat. . e. When age ia not known cow is to be classed as mature and must produce 400 lbs. or more of butterfat. It may be interesting to note that the three highest epws in each class during the first six months of tho year rank ns follows: Under three v«ars—Ralph Penaoei., Grade Jersey, 4313 Ihs. milk, 212.3 lbs. fat. No figures available on tho second and third highest in this class. Under four years—Jess Osgood, Reg­ istered Holstein, 8353 lbs. milk, 267.0 lbs. fat. Ralph Pennoek, Grade Jersey, 4560 lbs. milk, 242.7 lbs. fat. W. H. Craig, Registered Holstein, 6852 lbs. milk, 226.9 lbs. fat.

Jess Of good Registered Holstein, 8846 iba. milk, 317.0 lbs. fat. A. C. Clark, Grade Holstein, 7084 lbs. milk, 302.8 lbs. fat. In collecting lhe above data the oply object was to find tho eowa which ex­ ceeded 200 lbs. of fat, regardless of age. Therefore, the necessary data in the two year old class eould not be supplied nt present. At the elose of the asso­ ciation year, however, every-cow's rec­ ord must l»e transferred to tabulation strips so every eow that has - been on test nine months or more.wiU be record­ ed in duplicate and the figures will be cheeked or audited by the Dairy Dept, and the U. 8. Dairy Division. Inciden­ tally, every cow that conforms to re­ quirements will bo given as much pub­ licity as the facts will warrant. Edward R. Bailey. .

BANNER WANT AD VS PAY—TRY THEM A Word of Warning I The Standard Oil Company [Indiana] feels in duty bound to warn its thousands of patrons in the Middle West to beware of “bootleg” gasoline. Due to an overproduction of crude oil the market is flooded with unbranded gasoline sold ata cheap price. It is high at any price. It is neither uniform nor dependable. When you buy gasoline you are buying transportation for yourself and your family. We suggest that you buy depend­ able transportation. Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline will give you a maximum of power, flexibility and speed. It costs a few cents more per gallon but it “knocks out that knock”. Our famous economy fuel, Red Crown Gasoline will give you a maximum of power at a minimum of cost. Both jrroducts are sold everywhere in the Middle West and every* - where the same—at a price which is fair, just and equitable, con* sistent with quality, uniformity and dependability. . homo near Durand after visiting her daughter, Mrs. Laa*on Clark.

In a'ringing manner Martin Insull ill: "The utility executive* are too lf-*tatisficd. They have done a very good job in tho past »ix years but they need to bo stirred up to even greater effort*. If we say, ‘let good sorvir* take care of publie relations,’ it i* n Itout time for us to retire from the public utility business. "Today there is a favorable attitude of public opinion toward tho public utility industry. But thi* feeling must lie enlarged und make active, instead of passive as it is today. "The intervention of the govern­ ment in business is not confined tn tho public utility business. It ia rampant in other line* as well." In pointing out the nere**ity for giving the widest possible information about the industry, H. T. Hands, of . the Electric Bond and Share Co., said: I "The greatest menace to the industry today is the public utility executive , who think* lhe job is all over.

Sirs: I fertilized my wheat with 200 pounds per acre of “AA QUALITY” Fertilizer (Horseshoe Brand, 2-12-2) and obtained 50 bushel* to the acre. Thu is a very good yield, because weather conditions were most unsatisfactory. A large amount of my wheat was killed by ice. Norwitbaaodlng thia, 1 secured 30 bushel* per acre.

It will not shove, roll or rut. It remains as true and even as built. Concrete pavement is now satis­ fying taxpayers in many counties and every state in the Union. Maintenance cost is low. It does not require periodic resurfacing. Wet or dry, concrete provides the safest surface for traffic. Oil drippings will not cause con-w crete to disintegrate. Concrete pavements are clean, smooth,dustless,free from stickiness and usable twelve months in the year. 6,000 miles of concrete pavement were placed on highways in the United States in 1926. Concrete gives you more road surface value for each dollar in­ vested than any other type.

Five courses^are offered: College Prepara­ tory, Commercial, Agricultural, Boys’ Indus­ trial and Girls’ Industrial. Special advan­ tages are offered students to participate in dramatics, debating, athletics, orchestra and glee club. Numerous school societies provide valuable training. Added advantages are to be had in the splendid churches, the various lectures and gatherings which’center about the community of Hastings. "The Fort­ night," the High School paper, is in its fourth year of successful publication. The Hastings High School is known throughout the state fot its wholesome in­ fluence over the students. It is the only high school in Barry county that is a member of the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, which means that the gradu­ ates may be admitted without examination to all the leading colleges in the North Cen­ tral section of the United States. With an attendance of nearly 500 stu­ dents and a faculty of 22 high school teach­ ers, opportunities are offered which are not possible in a smaller high school. Yet every non-resident boy or girl receives individual attention and is welcomed by both students and teachers. We have a full time Physical Director for boys, and also one for girls. We also have a Dean for girls to look after their social welfare while attending school here. Good roads make it possible for students to come from long distances. This year stu­ dents living as far away as fifteen miles have driven back and forth daily to Hastings High School. Others living much farther away have been at home week-ends. Provision is made at the school cafeteria for high school students to purchase lunches at cost. Tuition is $75.00 per year. The home dis­ trict must pay $60.00 of this per year if ap­ plication for tuition is made to the director of the home district before the fourth Mon­ day in June. Address Inquiries to D. A.

Give and Take Human labor, through all its forms, from the sharpening of a stake to the construction of a dty or an epic, is one immense illustration of the perfect compensation of the universe. "The absolute balance of Give and Take, the doc­ trine that everything hat its price—and if that price is not paid, not that thing but something else is obtained, and that it is impossible to get anything without Ju price—is not leu sublime in the columns of a ledger than in the budreta of states. In the laws of light and darkness, in all the action and reaction of nature." Thus Ralph Waldo Emerson exalts one of the fundamental laws that govern industryThe entire businesa structure of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is based on thia law. TWaComBy renders service to the people of the Middle it and is rewarded in exact proportion to the service rendered. There ia an “absolute balance of Give and Take.” The concern ot the Company is with the “Give. It is the law of the universe that the "Take’ will balance. Rewards increase in exact ratio to the service rendered. The law of compensation makes possible and practicable the high ideals which this Company has held from the beginning. Twenty-nine thousand men and women are able to devote the beat that ia in them to the doing of a work for the benefit at others because they are secure in the knowledge that their efforts will receive They are not harraaaed by uncertainty. They know that their needs will be supplied. Each day they are earnint the good things of life by doing useful work that in ita4| ia a iatWactkm. They need not srorry about pay in an organization where the natural law of Give and Take functionsconfident of juit reward. This means that the entire Company is devoting its energy to the giving of better service. Constant improvement Is the result. More efficient methods — greater skill of workmanship— people of the Middle West have helped Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to keep pntta by demanding its products in enormous quantities that make necessary mass production and permit greater economy. The creed of service of thi* Company is far from a philanthropic affectation. It is an expn—: a sound principle upon which br,rinses la h illustration of what Ralph Waldo Emerson of the sublime laws of the universe Ln actio Standard Oil Company (Indiana) SMSvS 00 BaiUM 910 8.

COMMENCING AT 12:30 SHARP, AND SELL THE FOLLOWING PROPERTY:— 120,000 owners have tested Whippet perform­ ance in 400,000,000 miles of driving Fourteen months ago, claims made for the Whippet seemed startling, revolutionary—almost unbelievable. Today more than 120,000 owners know they are true. Such characteristic Whippet advantages as greater gasoline mileage, 4-wheel brakes, low center of gravity, increased roomi­ ness and higher speed, have been put to the test of over 400,000,000 miles of driving. It is important to remember this proved superiority of the Whippet at this time. For although other makers may strive to emulate Whippet's example, it is only after so extensive and continuous a demonstration of value tiiat any motor car merits complete and lasting public confidence. Even a short ride will convince you that Whippet is still the •afcst light car investment.

ARGUBRIGHT’S, A Training Schoo] for Future Executives Tp MPLOYERS—hundreds of them—know “Argubright’s" as "The West Point of Business"—the school to which they can safely look for their future business officers—executives. Young people—thousands of them—know "Argu­ bright s’ as the school to attend if you want better posi­ tions and bigger salaries. . An<? h°th employers and young people know "Argu­ bright s’ as the school which is truly different from any school of its kind in all America. In fact, it is different in so many ways it may easily be said to stand alone in its field. First, it employs no solicitors, the reputation of the school among young people, parents and business men being such that it always has a long waiting list of pros­ pective students, eager to take up theix studies as soon as they can be accommodated with desks. Second, its courses really have their beginning where most business school courses leave off. Its students are trained—not for ordinary, blind-alley, routine, small­ pay business positions—but for places at the right hand of big executives, places but a step removed from actual high-salaried executive work. The demands for Argubright s ’ graduates for choice positions far exceed the supply. • . Make a prompt decision to be an "Argubright gradu­ ate." The opportunity, presents itself now as never be­ fore. Write a letter or card to us at once, or better still, pay us a personal visit. Hundreds of Argubright’s" graduates in executive positions today will bear testimony to the truth of our . statement. File your Application Now-Enrollment* Ar* Being Taken Now for Sept. 13.

Air Mindedness Prom tha beginning the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) haa given faith and support to the cause of aviation. It was among the first to develop a satisfactory fuel and lubricant for aviation use and it supplies the major part of the demand today. It is among the first industrial concerns to own a company airplane. This Company identified itself promptly with the pioneers of the air because it held a vision of the ’’flying age” now begun and believed that by aiding in the development of aviation It might broaden Its service and increase Its usefulness to the people of the Middle West. The American public has a part’ to play in the development of aviation. It must become "air­ minded." No more la thought of flying in the Eastern Hemisphere than ia thought here of travel by train or motor. The whole world is traveling by air. The Germans, the British, the French and the I Uliana have all opened regular air service ranging from the dtiea of Europe as far away as Africa and Asia. America, having given the airplane to the world and perfected it to its present degree of reliability should be at the front in the development of popular air travel. America must keep step withit*inventors and its aviators. • We are living In stirring times. The whole world ha* thrilled to the exploits of winged pioneers this year. World records nave been broken—new trails blazed—by daring heroes of the air. American man­ hood and American machine* have written a proud chapter in aviation history. These recent glorious deeds fire the imagination and their real meaning is worthy of thought. Avia­ tion is more than a thrilling sport. It is a new and relatively safe means of transportation. Public confidence is needed to stimulate the development of commercial aviation. Certain facta in our aviation history should help us to become "air-minded." Last year there were only two fatal accidents in the air mail service. That means one casualty to each 1,288,000 mile* flown I Colonel Lindbergh has traveled the equivalent of eight times around the earth without an accident. In his signed story in the New York Times he said, “I have made 7.1S0 flights, totaling 1,823 hours and 40 minutes on a conservativo estimate. Last year 1 flew 763 Iwur*. In ail, I have carried 6,951 pas­ sengers and I am glad to say I have never had an accident, either to them or to myself.” Business men are becoming convinced that the risk haa been taken out of aviation. Air-ma|li| used with no more ouestion of its efficiency than of older forms of postal service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes in the future of aviation and desire* to further the cause. By giving publicity to these facta It hopes to help bring about the realisation that transportation in the air—as on the land—is relatlyely Mfe. to aid in the development of the "air-mindfripeH” ewential to progress in thi* flying age.

No doubt tho members of that body felt, as do most people, thnt if thorn is anything more comtcmptiblo and more despicable in the way of stealing than thnt of taking ehiekens, it would bc hard to conceive. Usually they arc raised by women folks nnd represent a lot of rare and hard work. For some thief to swoop down nnd raid a chicken coop is, therefore, nbout the meanest | nnd lowest kind of stealing. The law enacted by the legislature rondo as follows: “Rec. 1. Any person, firm or cor poration engaged in the business of purchasing poultry for the purpose of resale shnl) keep a record of the date of each such purchase, the name and resilience of the wdlcr, kind of poultry purchased nnd the description and num­ ber thereof, whether such poultry tvns raised by tho seller or purchased from others, and if purchased from others, then tho name of ’ the person from whom the same was purchase I by thseller nnd the date of *Vueh purehiso, and if the seller delivers such poultry by means of automobile or other vehicle having a license thereon, then the numher of such license. “Hee. 2.

He noticed that one half of the orchard nearest to n homo orchard of mixed varieties boro most of the fruit, while tho other hnlf produced very lititle. There has liven a bee yard in the orchard for three year*. ’ Bnt Mr Braman wns unable, nntil this year, to make the tree* pro dues a largo crop, although ho eared for them, sprayed thorn and they bloom­ ed heavily in tho spring.

He claimed that every individual nnd every, copimunity or corporation which owns property abutting on any of the lakes, whose level* hnd been lowered by Chicago, eould not have their property rights taken without compensation. He claimed thnt those owners, wheth­ er eity, corporation or individual, had rights in the natural Jevel of tho lake*, just W nature would provide such nat­ ural level; and that no individual and what wa* their right under our constitu­ tion without compensation. Chicago had never compensated cities or individuals for lowering the lakes and destroying the value of property which belonged to other* and which never did and never eould belong to Chicago. Mr. Potter wa* highly commended by all themttorney* for the novel argu- ho baaed it on elemental facta. The federal constitution plainly declares that property eannot bo taken from anyone in this country without due process and compensation; and the eity of Chicago had taken thi* water with­ out due process, without compensation and without any right whatever. Therefore Chicago should be prohibited from continuing to take property that belong* to other* and using it for her own »elfi»h purpose*. Thi* would apply a* well to taking water that belonged pose of furthering navigation in the Mississippi watershed a* it would to sewage disposal. Thia bring* to mind * suit that was tried ia Barry eounty many year* ago. Patrick Dooley, then county drain eommisaioaer, proposed to lower the level of Tbornapple lake by cxecavating tke Thornapple river bed at and below the outlet, whieh would have resulted in a much lower lake level al Tbornapple. Mr. Cole, then proprietor of tho Thorunppie lake resort, through Colgrove nnd Potter, the leading Inw linn of thia city nt thnt time, procured nn injunction against Mr. Dooley, re­ straining him from lowering the level of Thornapplo lake. Thia caso was fought through the circuit court and carried to the state supreme court. Tho grounds on which tho injunction was asked were two. One'wiw that, within the meaning of the Inw Thornapplo lake wa* n nnvignlde body of water and that, therefore, it coulll not l>o interfered with. Another point brought out by Moura. Colgrovo and Peter in tho case wa* that tho people owning land along Thornapple lake had property right* in the water* thereof, and that they were entitled to have the lake at the level at which nature would maintain it, be­ cause of their right; and thnt the county drain commissioner of Barry county eould not take away that prop­ erty right without compensation, which he had not attempted to make. In their decision, which was in favor of Mr. Cole, the supreme court did not pgs* upon the question of property right in the waters of Thornapple lake, but did settle the ease solely on the ground that Thornapplo lake was a navigable body of water within the meaning of the law and, therefore, that the drain commissioner could not lower its level. It will be interesting to the people of Barry county to see how Mr. Potter’s argument is reerived by th* supreme court of the United States. It greatly impressed all the attorneys who heard it, advancing a theomuApt no other at­ torney ia the case ^^Kggested.

Professor Fiske Gerhardt, chemist nnd plant physiologist nt the Iowa State College, has been making ex­ tended investigations of the milk weed nnd declares that this plant has a promising commercial value. Among the products of commercial importance which can be named are tho following: It has long been known thnt tho quite simnlinr to rubber latex; but it hn* passed unobserved n* a poiaiblc source for rubber. Mr. Gerhardt re­ port* that the,milk weed in the wild state produce* two nnd one half to three nnd one half, percent of rubber. The milk wped will yield 55 or <Wi bushel* of wed per new, about tho same a* that of corn, and from three! to throe and ono half ton* pf dry stalk*, j Thi* averages with tho production of corp stalks in tho corn crop. Tt will also produce 550 pounds of white cotton floss material. This Is above the eotton production per acre. The cotton floss is used to make n su­ perior quality of upholstering material and it may have other possibilities. Milk weed seeds will yield about 20 percent of oil and 35 to 40 percent of Keeps Flies Off Cattle and Horses AND WILL NOT BURN OR INJURE THE HAIR, DUE TO THE OIL BASE What Thia Will Do and We Guarantee It: 2, 3. 4. 5.

Have You Relatives Living Out of Town} We suggest that you use the lower cost Station-to-Station call whenever it will serve your purpose. A Station-to-Station call is thefldnd of call to make when you are reasonably^ certain that the person with whom you wish to talk will answer the telephone op can be called to it quickly. In placing such a call, give the Long Distance Operator the number you are calling. If you do not know the number, however, say to her, for instance, “I want Mr. John Smith’s residence at 350 Sayre Street, Lansing, Michigan.” Be sure that you do not specify to the operator that she call any particular person. A call placed for a particular person is known as a Person-to-Person call and costs more than a Station-to-Station call. There are reduced Evening rates on Stationto-Station calls, from 7:00 p. m. to 8:30 p. m., with further reduction during the Night rate period, from 8:30 p. m. to 430 a. m.

Why? It maintains its viscosity! The old type oil thinned out before the car had gone 200 miles. With Iso-Vis in the crankcase there is no danger of dilution." The engine is lubricated efficiently every mile. Iso-Vis means more than smooth motoring and free­ dom from dilution worries. It means long life to the engine. The letter below gives one man’s experience in using Iso-Vis: J. A. Christianson Everything For the Farm New Richland, Minn. April 22, 1927 Standaid Oil Co., Mankato, Minn. Gentlemen: I have been investigating my new Pontiac car after using Iso-Vis Heavy in it for the past six months and upon taking the motor down I find that it is in very fine condition. The car was free from- carbon and the cylinder walls were in very good condition. There was a film of oil all over the walls of the cylinders which shows that it was lubricated very efficiently. • I must say tliat, after driving my car six thou­ sand miles, I can highly recommend this Iso-Vis Heavy to any motorist for hard driving. Yours truly, J. A. Christianson Mr. Christianson’s experience will be your experience if you use Iso-Vis. Flush your crankcase clean, till up with the correct grade of Iso-Vis, then check your oil every hundred miles and keep the crankcase at least threefourths full. Your dilution troubles will be at an end— your engine will run quietly on cushions of oil—protected, contented, well cared for. Try it once yourself—buying the grade recommended for your car. 30c per quart Iso- Vis “F” for Fords * Standard Oil Company 4678 (Mum) Hastings, Michigan �THE HASTINGS BANNER, WEDNESDAY, SSYTEMBER 7, 1W7 , The influence of a pleased patron . extends far—It ia < always worth try­ . ing for. , UMIKWITH M, POTTER TOY DO NOT B1LIIVE THAT TO A.

The secret of success of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) isa "secret of serv­ ice”—and it is an open secret. Examin­ ation quickly strips it of any mystery. This Company is not a person or small group of persons. It is literally an army of people. There are more than 29,000 em­ ployes. There are over 50,000 stockholders. This Company does not belong to one generation. Its life is not limited to three score years and ten. It is older and stronger than the men who are a part of it and will endure long after they are dead. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) stands for the accumulated wisdom and experience of more than one generation of men. The directors, to whom its stewardship is given today, are building with thought for the morrow — building on the work of those who have gone before. Each succeeding generation builds upon the achievements of the past. This continuity has necessitated effi­ cient organization and long views. It is one of the sources -of strength of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)—one of" its secrets of service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an organization of many thousands of men ana women, changing in personnel slowly and inevitably with the years—but unchanging in high principle and stead­ fast purpose. Thus it has been able to serve 30 mil­ lion people with ever-increasing efficiency and ever-widening vision. Not by lucky accident has it won its place in their lives. The great position it holds today is the result of generations of steady striving, of earnest effort. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.

It I# expected, however, that the Mate average thia year will bo somewhat (higher than usual. Acording to the farm crops depart ment, certified seed wheat afford* the grower vnlunble protection. It assure# genuine variety, quality, germination and freedom from weds and disease. The first inspection i» made in the field just Itefore maturity to determine free­ dom from disease and weeds. The threshed grain is again inspected to determine quality. The inspector is employed by the erop improvement a#- J soeiation and works under tho super­ vision of the farm crops department of ■ the college. Of the three varieties certified by the crop improvement association, Amort | can Banner nnd Ro<l Rock have pro-1 duccd the highest yields thi» Year.' Berkley Rock produced slightly lower: yields but is said to bn almost immune to smut. Tho highest yield turned in this year among tho member# of the crop improvement association was fiO.N bushels per acre of American Hanner on five and one-quarter acres grown by K. L.

We believe that Mr. Dawson’s additional ground and n nominal ad- views on the subject of future Barry charge for automobile* coming onto the ground* would lx necessary. From *11 of this it can bo seen that Mr. Dawson ha* weighed the fair prob­ lem from all angles, ha* ranched very definite conclusions ns to what ought to*be done, by having tho eity or the county condemn the necessary land. Thu* nn excessive price for additional land would be out of the question. Borne money would be required for a new grandstand, making a now race track, moving the horse barn* and making some other change*. Probably 820,000 would be needed. This could be raised by bonding. We nrc sura that there would bo found plenty of men interested in having the fair con­ tinued a*nd thoroughly modernized, who would buy these bonds, that would bear interest and lx a lien upon the property, to aid the fair in getting a start on the right basis. If the people of the eounty will think over the plans suggested by Mr. Dawson for enabling tho fair to meet competition elsewhere, they will con­ cede that they arc reasonable. We al*o bclieive that there will be a general acceptance of Mr. Dawson's conclusion that the day for high priced admis­ sion* to fair ground* ia over; that a nominal admission fee, together with eoncoMiona and grandstand receipt*, could be made tu pay for a high da** fair that would ba popular and attrac­ tive to everybody. make tho Barry county fair a success retaryahip, whieh means practically the eiety was heavily ia debt.

Tho following result* are claimed: In our six years of advertising, the bnqk deposit* of the city of Los An gelcs hnvo increased more then 100 per cent, as ha* the population. Tho as­ * scused valuation of Los Angeles county ha* increased by more than 81,700,000,000—mare then 130 per eent.

Kcnfleld of Chicago, who was bora and grew to manhood in Hastings, for an article hn sent us un rattlesnakes, written by John H. Welsh, Jr., of tho Bershiro school, Sheffield, Mass. Rattlesnakes are known in this county and often seen ia certain section* of it. Bom* facts ajiout rattlers contained in this article will be of interest to students ns well a* other folk*. For instance, tho young of rattle­ snakes develop within the oviduct aud are brought forth alive, rather than be­ ing hatched from eggs as is the case with most snakes. The young rattler* shed their shin ome the flrat year, and the hard boney tail end remains a* a button. After the first year the rattlers shed about three times each year, caeh time leav­ ing an additional rattle, so a snake having tea rattles would bo about four years obi. Just why u snake should have developed such an appendage is not known. It ia suggested thnt the rattles developed aa a protective meas­ ure. A more interesting development than the rattle is tho poison apparatus which, of course, ia found in other snakes than rattlers. There aro two Urge hollow fangs attached to hlugod portions of the upper jaw. Ordinarily they He flat against tho roof of tho mouth and are sheathed with mem­ branes when the animal is not in ac­ tion. When while hunting, a mouse or bird i* found tho rattler coils, opens bis mouth and the sharp fitng* are auto­ matically turned down when tho snake, strikes. The fang* are so sharp and,’ slender thnt they pjrree the skin, leav-i ing only u very small *car. The con­ traction ot the jaw muscles causes few drops of poison to go into the wound. The sunkc then retires until bi* prey dies, after which it is swallow­ ed whole by unhinging tho jaw*. In the case of the rattler the poison i* a straw colored fluid which form* needle-like crystals when dried. It causes a breaking down of the wall* of the blood cell*. When the poison is sent directly into tho blood ntrenm it I* much mure dangerous than when into muscular ur fatty tissues. Another interesting adaptation of rattlesnakes nnd snakes in general is the powerful digestive fluid ot the stomach. When a rattler swallows a moiiM* it digest* thchair, bones, teeth nnd ail. Tlie process ia quite rapid. Most people are afraid of ail kind* of shake*, even the little, green garden sunken which the economic botanists tell u* nrc worth $10 a year in our vegetable garden*. But they aro suf­ ficient to strike terror to the hearts of mnny people. It i* probably useless to argue with such people, fur it takes an <--lucntioh in animal life before creep­ ing creature* of our field and garden ran l>e appreciated or at least not feared. iouily ill, I* better which i* good naw* to her many friend*. ..............

MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE CO. Save Money on Long Distance Calls There are Two Genera! Classes of Long Distance Calls: . 1— Person-fo-Person. This is a call placed for a specified person and is the kind of call to make when you want to talk to someone in particular and you are not reasonably sure that person will answer the telephone or can be called to it quickly. APerson-toPerson call costs the same a$ all hours. 2— Sfafjon-fo-SfafA>n. This h a call placed for a certain telephone number and is the kind of call to make when you are reasonably certain that the person with whom you wish to talk will answer the tele­ phone or can be called to it quickly. Station-to-Station calls cost appreciably less than Person-to-Penon calls, and offer re­ duced Evening rates, from 7:00 p.m. to 8 JO p.m., and further reduced Night rates,’ from 8 JO p.m. to 4 JO a.m. There ia no change of rates at midnight. n’* . y/ ■ jr ' It helps speed the connection If you give the Long Distance operator the « number of the distant telephone, when ?k making a Station-to-Station call, but V it is not necessary to give It. Ifyou do 7^ not know the number, tell the opera- ' tor, for Instance, that you are calling the office or home of “Mr. John v Smith, 350 Sayre Street, Lansing, \ Michigan}" she will then connect you - x Your netropolltan trifle officer Isn’t bard-.baUsd at all.

A careful man may veer (lightly to tho right to avoid a holo in tbe road—a thing be hue a perfect right to do. At tho tamo time some fool may try to paaa him on the right. Tho rciult ia a bump and maybe another call for the ambulance. "Thein aro come driven who ean talk while they drive, keeping their eye* on tho road. But there aro a lot who turn around to tho party sitting next to them, or who talk with their handa. They're bad onea. That'a reckloeaneaa of tho wont eort.

And believe me, if wo cleared the road of a few of these dumbbells that don't know their right front their left there’d bo a lot fewer hurry calls for tho ambulance. "And there's the kind that haa stop­ ped at mm road-house and had a little too much bad liquor. We havo alwaya had that kind even In tho good old daya when moat of the liquor waa good.

Waters and Son Receiv­ ing Inquiries From Coun­ tries in Europe The BANNER has mentioned the fact that Ray Waters nnd his father, Thomas Waters, had worked out a clothing stores, consisting of n common sense eap rack. The patent was tnkca out in tho name of Rny Waters. These have been manufactured by Ray Cook in his machine shop in this city. Tho device was put upon the market Inst year. Home changes nnd improve­ ments have been made in it, although preserving the original idea. Tho de­ mand for the rack hn* increased con­ siderably this yenr ns compared with last. The display racks arc very com­ pact, ornamental nnd especially conven­ ient for tho display of eap*. so that tho sixes enn he reached readily when de­ sired and at the same time the cops are always maintained in proper shape, by the rack itself. The writer visited the shop whore them busy with orders coining froth all ports that he has inquiries from Euro­ pean countries for’ these reeks and the salesmen report an increasing interest in and demand for them’. Mr. Waters already has in mind some other devices to make a line of window display article* for merchant*. These will also .be excellent and convenient for stock keeping. They aro not yet ready for manufacture, but the details nre being worked out as rapidly as may lie. This is a small manufacturing burinosa that is developing in Hastings ■ thnt may offer a fine opportunity for expansion. We hope the proper com­ mittees of the Commercial Club will keep it in mind aud see that this busi­ ness ts kept in Hastings.

BROWN OPENS WOMEN’S CLUB PROGRAM With English Lecture on Friday Afternoon, Oct. 7, in Com­ munity Room The first meeting of tho Hastings Women’s Clubjiecurs on Friday of this week, October 7th. Dr. W. R. Brown, professor of English literature at West­ ern State Teachers' College, Kalamaxoo, will open tho year’s work with his lecture "The Beginnings of the Novel,” the first in n scries of monthly talks he will give before the club. Dr. Brown is one of tho moat popular lecturers on literary topics in the state. His lecture before the club last year on ”Galsworthy” was n delightful after­ noon. ’He presents his subject matter in a concrete way that is easy to re­ tain and has a lasting value. Combined With this, he has unusual talent as a reader and his selections used in this way to illustrate points aro always a delightful feature ot his lectures. The club is opening these special lectures to people not members of tho club for fifty cents a number. They arc well worth the price and a cordial invitation is extended to any interested to como. They are given at the Community Room at three o’clock. Members aro asked to remember the change in the by-laws which request that the annual dues of the Club mem­ bers bo paid nt the first meeting In change in’the by-laws which requests will be greatly appreciated. ™ —uvular—e*Van Michigan Is Fortunate in Hav­ ing Such a Man as State ’ Executive heard them are loud in their praise.

M-66 is already an important trunk line, with Ixiweil ns its southern terminus, from whieh point Jt goes northward, through Belding and Green­ ville and on until it connects with V. 8. 131 north of Cadillne. There has l»een talk of extending it as an independent trunk line, reaching to some point in northern Michigan, instead of having it simply connect with another trunk line. It is now a well travelled highway. and seems destined to become more important. There would seem to be good reason for its being extended southward through Freeport to this eity. In Has­ tings it would connect with three im­ portant trunk lines, M-43, which would make a short line to Chicago, and tho west. M-37. which would reach points south nnd M 70 which offers a direct line to Charlotte, Eaton Rapids ant. Jackson. . Our understanding la that northward from Freeport n little lc«* than two I mile* remains to be graded and gravel­ led in order to make an improved road from that village to Lowell.

East Lansing, Oetobor 2. The expect­ ed invasion of the Mexican Bean Beetle has appeared in Michigan, according to announcement of the entomology de­ partment at Michigan Htate College. This-pest of fleld and garden boana ha» be<m found in three aouthea.tera Michigan counties. Even under favor­ able conditions tor the development of the beetle, no commercial damage to beans in this state la anticipated for tha next two years. T|m Mexican Bean Beetle is a mem­ ber of a fnmily that has only two un­ desirable members. This beetle belongs to the sama family as the common ladybug, whieh It resembles Iu shape and sine. The latest foreign Invader is khaki colored and hn» a number of round black dot* on the wing covers. The beetle -pends the winter in the adult .tnge and, tho uext spring, lays eggs on the foliage of plant* that arc suit­ able for it* food. Green portion* of the Iman plant aro it* first fhuiep for forage. While the beetle ha* been quite des­ tructive in states south and west of Michigan it I* hoped that the climntie conditions hero will prove unsuitable enough so that the spread of the pest will bo very slow. HE paragraph* quoted are from an article by JudkMi C. Welliver appearing In the August issue of the American Review of. Reviews. T This unique record of the petroleum industry ■•lands as a tribute to science and eflioency. In making gasoline the least expensive of com­ modities, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) haa done its share. Improved methods and processes have been deseloped in its scientific laboratories Waste has b«en eliminated and efficiency promoted by its constant search for improvements. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) exists to serve the people of the Middle West and it has never wavered from Uiat purpose. This faithfulness to an abiding ideal has earned for it the confidence of those whom it serves. Every day gasoline of the Standard OU Company (Indiana) fuels millions of cars. The motorist is confident that thagasoline which flows intp his tank :n a bta:.Oil CtIr.tlianul p.ur.p via •'deliver the goods" because it always is uniform m quality. Hehas learned to trust the Standard Oil Company ' (Indiana) for he has found Its name a guarantee of quality. He knows that every gallon of gasoline it sells must carry on iu reputation for integrity. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has helped to make gasoline not only one of the lowest priced commodities, as Mr. Welliver has shown it to be, but one of the most dependable as well. . Dependability is important, for gasoline—unlike most commodities—is mysterious to the average man, revealing little by its appearance. No one can tell how It will work in a car by looking at it. But everyone l.no»i Eow It will work in a car If it is the product of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana).

The Demands of the Hour Raith in aviation is spreading, but the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believe* it would be more contagious if the growing safety of routine air tran»port was known belter. Here are a few facts about regulated commercial flying here and abroad that are worthy of considera­ tion. . American mail planes flew 3,108.720 mile* without a casualty In the fourteen months from Fctjruary 12, 1920. to April 22, 1927. ’ Fifty Gentian air lines flew 3.814,000 miles last year, carrying 56,268 passengers. The Imperia! Airways. Ltd., and its predecessors, have down more than 5,000.000 miles in seven year* and carried some 75,000 passenger*. Air freight from Ixmdon to Paris it insured in England at 2 shilling* per 1U0 pound sterling, insurance on the same freight by surface transport cost 6 shillings and eight pence. Pioneer day* in aviation are r»st. No longer do men say. “It can't be done.” Tticy speculate upon how long it will be before we all will be flying. From the beginning the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has kept pare with the pioneers of the air. Long ago It ihowea its faith in aviation by setting to work to develop fuel and oil to meet the special needs of the airplane. Today it is ready. Its aviation products have been proved. In die first National Air DerbyNew York to Spokane—the winners of the first three Class A prizes used Standard Oil Company (Indiana) aviation gasoline and lubricating oil. ■ The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has had to be a pioneer, always alive and alert to the changes of a progressive world. It has had to feel the pulse of an onrushing civilization—to sense its needs and develop products to meet them. A flexible organization has been developed, cap­ able of supplying changing demand*—constantly extending, expanding and improving it* service. At one time kerosene was tlse major product of petroleum. The automobile came. Gasoline took the leading role. Today gasoline is furnished in various grades by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to million* of motorists. With tlie development of aviation a new need has arisen and this Company lias extended iu senice to mett'Uiis demand. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a bigger job than the manufacture of a single standard article. Tin* Company is a service Organization— working with a natural resource—producing from it the product* the nation need*— meeting the de­ mands of the hour with efficiency and skilL Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard OU BoHdlnf 910 Saatii Michigan Avenae, Chicago, DL 4631 WE CATER TO YOUR Home Furnishing Needs!

Owners who praise it most are those who have owned many automobiles. They recognize the Erskine Six as modem transportation at its advanced best! Drive it yourself —you be the Judge! But opinions of others cannot prove to you how much the ' Erskine Six is your kind of a car. Test it for yourself—and give it a real workout. Watch it on the hills —note its accel­ eration-give it the throttle and feel it step out smoothly at a '50 or 60-mlle gait. Low first cost and low upkeep as well. Desirable to own for its handling ease, agility, com­ fort and dependability. A great car judged by any standards. Drive an Erskine —today! NEW LOW PRICES Custom Sedan (4-door) Sport Coupe, for 4 .

Urges Careful Stor­ age to Prevent Lobb East Ltnsfng, Oet. 10—Seed corn, which this year contains a high per- ] rentage of moisture, will bo seriously I damaged by early freeze* if the corn I is not properly stored, according to an announcement by the. farm erop* de­ partment at Michigan State College. ' The percentage uf moisture in a ' great deal of Michigan corn runs a* high as 45 to 55 per cent. Tempera‘ tures of 28 to 30 degree* will ruin such , rorn for seed purpose* if the ears are ; I out of doors, it is said. ' High priced equipment is not neces­ sary to care for seed corn properly. An unused room in the house may l>e । utiliuwl. brooder houses make excellent I place* for drying teed corn, and, in some counties, commercial concern* will dry the corn for a small charge per ■ bushel. Michigan farmers who have a good type of well matured corn this year will make a good profit on tho time I spent in preparing I he corn for seed j purposes, according to tho crop* specialists. Good seed corn is scarce throughout the corn growing States. It is said to be mon? economical to dry the corn now than later, when the air temperatures become so low that a grant deal of heat is wasted in warm­ ing the air in the atorage room. Tho corn should lie above tho source of heat whilo being dried. j WHEN YOU’RE AT HOME ALONE do you enjoy that sense of security that is afforded by an extetuion telephone close at hand?

Another Yearly Mile Stone AND Our 41st Birthday Forty-one years ago next week this bank opened its doors and today looks backward over a period of unbroken service to its pa­ trons and the public. Many things have happened during the past 41 years—there have been good times and bad—periods of prosperity and famine —periods of peace and war—but always have our doors been open and our manage­ ment ready to render every possible service and today the bank is stronger than ever, and better able to accommodate its hundreds of patrons. Behind this Bank’s Responsibility lie Re- sources of over One Million Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars. The 41-year record of this bank brings a feeling of pride to its patrons and friends as it surely does to its officers and directors. Public support has made its pronounced suc­ cess possible and the management feels sin­ cerely grateful for the confidence and es­ teem the public has shown during these past years in the integrity of this institution. Always, even as in the past, we appreciate your patronage. Be your account with us large or small, it will receive our most court­ eous consideration.

How can we expect these boys to risk their lives trying to save our property when they know that* in so doing, they are liable to be the loser themselves? Surely we as citizens of this community cannot expect them to carry on this great work without some assurance that they will be taken care of in time of disaster. It is for such cases as the foregoing that we are striving to make this a huge fund that we hope will not stop after the per­ formance scheduled above; but we hope contributions will continue to come in so that a recurrence of the above will never happen. We do not know how soon a fire will visit your home or mine. When it does oc­ cur, there will be many dangers attending it, with possibly some accident, and the sav­ ing of our property will compensate us for anything we may contribute now.

Behind this Bank’s Responsibility lie Re­ sources of over One Million Three Hun­ dred and Fifty Thousand Dollars. The 41 -year record of this bank brings a feeling of pride to its patrons and friends as it surely does to its officers and directors. Public support has made its pronounced success possible and the management feels sincerely grateful for the confidence and esteem the public has shown during these past years in the integrity of this institu­ tion.

They gave thn fair association the grniid’taud. which cost several thousand dollars, and have sponsored many fine improve­ ments that have been made on the ground*. It would seem ns it thn official* of the Barry County Agricultural Hociety should study the plans and methods of thn Ionia free fair very carefully. There is no reason why sueh a venture could not succeed in Hastings. The first and most urgent need of course is races ean be seen -from the grandstand in every part of the track. .***'>lhor need would be a grandstand that would seat at least 5,000 people. Thea, na Hccretary Dawson pointed out in his recent article in the BAN­ NER, an admission fee of but ten cents, which is a nominal one whieh everyone would 1h* gUd to pay, together with the receipts of thp grandstand and the concessions, there would be enough nturns to insure the financial success of the fair. A law enacted by <he legislature last winter enable* the county or the city, whichever may desire to acquire at n fair price by condemnation proceed­ ings, whatever land may bo needed to give tho Agricultural Hociety ample grounds for the fair.

Suddenly he «» wired with n sharp pain and within nn hour died at tho hospital. Hi- imrents were quiekly summoned and were with him for some littlo time before the end came. He spoke to thorn in the most endearing terms, thanked them for all the wonderful things they had done for him nnd the opportunities thnt they hail given him nnd wanted them to know how much he appreciated whnt they hnd done.

Naturally there is increasing curios­ ity as to the new Ford car. No one in this locality has seen one, but wo have it on the authority of one who has seen the now car that it will bo a pacemaker in the field of low priced cars. It will have the speed, quick nick up, fine looks nnd beautiful finish of a much higher priced caf. We understand that the first samples have been placed on exhibition nt the show room* of the Ford Motor Company; but only a few of their representatives hnvo boon in­ vited to see them and those largely with a view of getting their opinion of the new model. We understand Henry Ford himself has approved the new ear, but natural­ ly would like to got corroborative en­ dorsement of the car before final ac­ tion is taken, whieh will put it into rapid production. Just when that time will be no one appears to definitely know. Probably no one will know until very close to the actual date when tho new cnr can bo furnished the dealers.

SHELDON Efficiency of Program Depends Upon Oareful Working Out of Detail* "Eighty of the 83 counties In Michi­ gan are now organised under tho Vigilnnto campaign, launched by the Michigan Bankers Association last spring," according to John J. Dawson. Director of tho Hastings National Bank nnd President of tho Barry County Bankers Federation. "The success of our vigilante sys­ tem is already apparent. Tho banker* are thankful for the cooperation wo have received from all law-abiding citizen*. We realise, as does the public in general, the fact that we are simply cooperating with tho law enforcement officers of our state, county and com­ munity. Tho officer* have cordially assisted ns in every practical way. "The three counties whieh are, as yet, unorganised will be in stop with the program within two weeks. "The next important step Wider our vigilante program, is the training of the men organised; tho equipping of our force* with modern and efficient non*; tho establishment of target ranges nnd n systematic procedure for local target practice. We realise that the efficiency of our program is de­ pendent on tho carefulness with which ■11 of these detail* are worked out. "The best evidcnee of tho success of the vigilante program a* put in oper­ ation throughout tho State, is in tho evident fact that tho professional yegg men and bank robbers have de­ cided to operate in other fields less amply protected nnd less vigilantly secured against their method*. "It will bo interesting to tho public to know thnt tho vigilante program is "Tho‘ number of bank robberies in Michigan has been reduced 84 per cent In thia one year and bank losses have been reduced 79 percent. The report* from our state headquarters indicate thnt the officers and members of the vigilante committees in each state are taking ns much interest in the success of the campaign as they would in a successful military operation."

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT Thrift is the impulse back of all progress. Today one can travel across the con­ tinent by airplane in a day and n half. A century ngo it would have taken months to make tho same trip by toe fastest means of transportation then known. The airplane, with all its possibilities, has grown out of man’s determination to save time. The rail­ road superceded the stage coach for the same reason. It has become an agency of thrift because it haa brought about the saving of time and tho con­ servation of material resources. We might run through the entire his­ tory of scientific progress and wo would find the sumo constant underlying force of thrift. • Mankind has progressed only in proportion to his development of efficiency. . This truth likewise applies to the individual. No matter what may be our place in life, tho actual progress wo make must depend upon our in­ dividual efficiency. If we plan well and have tho back-bone to carry out our plana wo may consider ourselves lueeeasful. But no matter who wo are or how advantageous our situation we tagton, Ohio, and is said to prodnee more will never fulfill our rightful place in life if wo are inefficient. <> our talents, our material possessions, our education and our various advan­ tages. This is real thrift. Here we have one of the great les­ sons of life. It 1* not enough to deCnd on thrift tor the rainy day*. It upon thrift ns well that wo must re­ ly for whatever advancement wo hope to obtain—for whatever ambitions we expect to see realized.—By 8. W.

Now is the time to look after its oil needs. The crankcase should be drained and flushed out with Polarine Flushing Ofl. This cleansing lubricant is not expensive and there is no service charge. Flushing is important for it removes dirt and grit and particles of metal that collect in every crankcase. Then have the motor filled up with a fresh supply of clean, new Iso-Vis of proper grade and your car will be “all set” for winter weather. You can save money by buying 5 gallons at once, having your motor filled and taking home the rest for future use. Iso = Vis—the constant viscosity motor oil—was put on the market last winter. It became famous immediately for its extraordinary performance and has been gaining in popularity ever since. Motorists who once try Iso=Vis are so enthusiastic they talk to their friends about it—and courteously write us letters of praise and appreciation. Here are a few extracts: “I am getting more miles per dollar through the use of Iso-Vis"—Mr. George W. Koenig, LeMars, Iowa. ‘It (Iso-Vis) was highly satisfactory in every sense and is positively the longest lived lubricant I have ever used"—Mr. J. Chris Schutz, Madison, South Dakota. "With Iso-Vis oil in my car, the new oil shows 14 and after 500 miles it has a pressure of 15 and on draining the oil it looked too good to throw away so I put it back in the crankcase and ran it another 500 miles, and the pressure gauge varied between 15 and 16 without adding any fresh oil"—Mr. Otto Larson, Wilton, North Dakota. The thousands of letters we receive are the best "ads” that could be written about Iso°Vis for they report actual records of it in use. Try it and see for yourself what it will do I 30c per quart.

They arrested a few of -the leaders of the conspiracy, had thous­ and* of ten ton lorries, or trucks, to do tho transporting.

In thi* attitiude they were backed by the great majority of the laboring men. ployed by the communi*,t* and no sym­ pathy with communistic principles. In eight days the strike was broken. The Russian propagandists were driven from England, and England withdrew It* recognitiuu of the Russian govern­ ment.

They are usually combined with tho lower shrubs nnd aro most pleasing when placed in groups and masses. Soil should be good, well drained and thoroughly prepared beforehand, as there is a great diversity in plants as to their adaptability to different types of soil.

Thia entire amount has been used for buying pictures for tho tchool rooms.

Knights of Pythian and Pythian Sisters, Hastings Tcaahers’ Club, Central P. T. A., Odd Follows and Rebekahs, and Hastings Rotary Club. Every organization in town was given the opportunity to contribute to this cause nnd tho results have been splendid. The teaahers wish to ezpres, their profound appreciation to the elubs above mentioned who so liberally and graciously contributed. This will be a wonderful addition to the grade rooms of tho city and will Indeed mako them more attractive places for the boys and girls who spend so much of their time Tn thorn. Certainly tho least we as citizens and teachers of Hastings can do for tho boys and girls is to make the rooms as attractive, meaning­ ful and joyful places as pouible. There is nothing that contributes more to building character and a determination to put forth one’s best efforts than a happy, cheerful atmosphere, and good pictures help to do this more than any­ thing else. Tho pictures framed complete-bought with the money secured from tho tick­ et sale and throe gifts from tho organiations mentioned above will be on exhibition for the publie, before they are hung in tho classroom*. Tho gifts will bear a brass pinto on which will be tho name of the organization present­ ing it. * Watch for an announcement to this effect and be sure to plan to come and bring your children to sm those beauti­ ful pictures. ■ '-v Besides the addition of these pictures to the school rooms, the vslues which tho children received 4a eveqr- «Mmroom from becoming acqMiated with the master pieces and artiste are unable to be measured*. Without question there was more educational value and real appreciation of the beautiful de­ veloped than could have been done in any other way. That In itself is worth more than the pictures which were bought. THE OCTOBER RECORD' WAS $4,455,255.00 That Was the Amount of New In'iurance Written for Wind­ storm Go. That Month The month of October was another banner month for.tho Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company in the booking of new insurance, a total of >4,455,255 of new insurance being writ­ ten for the month'. This with the splendid totals of new insurance writ­ ten in preceding months makes it cer­ tain that 1927 will bo an outstanding year for this old, reliable company. Ust year >35,000,000 was tho net in­ crease in the amount of-insurance of the company, tho total reaching >335,000,000. It looks ns if this year an equally large amount will bo added. This will be definitely determined when 1927, but the prospects seem favorable for a splendid increase in the volume of insurance.

A good illustration of tho efficacy of the notice in ques­ tion ia found in the fact that it brought out to tho annual meeting but 7 voters, whereas a subsequent notice of a special meeting, from which it was understood thnt a vote would be token on thnt ques­ tion, brought out 28 voters.'’ eribed in the notice of the special elec­ tion.

Thorn is nbthing evasive, equivocal or misleading in this language, and tho voters must have understood by its terms tho purposes for which the elec­ tion wns culled. By reference to tho language uf the Court in Calkins vn. Rice, it seems not irrelevant to note thnt tho substantial vote registered is indicative of tho interest that might be nrvised by Ibis important issue. It is my conclusion that thi/ notice met the requirements of tho statute, and was not out of harmony with nny authority to which the Court's atten­ tion has Iwen called. 11 is tho claim of counsel for plaintiffs, as I nm nblo to gather, thnt the election not lielog properly called, it was invalid us a bas­ in for- submitting to tho township boards the solection of a site. Further, thnt the voters, under the form of bal­ lot submitted, having refused to give the necessary per cent in favor of the Ity pf tho |W00 bond Imus by tha school board, yet it does appear that they are takiag the position that tho funds raalHed tharefrom may not b« used in tba purchtra of the site now designated. As I understaad it, ' the statata raia<l"il to the nuthorixiag of tha borrowing of thia sum, and the iasuagta of tbo bond, required only a majority vote, whieb was given .tbare for, buFaounsel for plaintiff Insist thnt tbs> failure pt the school board to olds io the. approval and certifieato of the Mata Treasurer prior to cxrautioa of the bond was a fatal omission. The atatuie, (Hec. », Aet No. 273, Pnblie Aeta Of IMS) provides that “no bonds mny be iranrd until such certificate has been made." It is my upinioo that in view of tha fart that thia certificate wns duly Issued following the eorres]M>ndcnre between the board nnd the State Treasurer, nnd while the bond was still ia the possession of thn Iroard. constituted substantial cumplianeo with contemplated, and no interact hns been jeopardized thereby.

Hurley, of Chicago, one of this country's big businru men who was, during the war, head of the United State* Shipping Board, a plan that seems workable and without the objec­ tionable bounty. Briefly the plan suggested by Mr. Hurley is to have the United States create a revolving fund of >500,000.000, whieh will be loaned at a low rata of interest to American companies formed METRO-GOIDJF’YN-MAYER "IMAGINATION has run riot in this marvelous masterpiece of exciting action and thrilling romance.

The money so loaned to be used in tho building of ships, the government to have a claim on the ships whieh its funds aid in building. The plan further proposes the recom­ mendation that American railroad lines be allowed to participate in the owner­ ship and operation of ships; also the sale of war-built ships now in govern­ ment pftesosion for use in our merchant marine. To compensate the government for its loan will lie, of course, the interest nf two and one half per cent; also the fact that aur government will be given ease of a war, for the transportation of product* or men as may be necessary. Wo all remember what a humiliation it was that practically every American soldier who was taken to Euro)* was carried in foreign built ship*, the Amer­ ican-owned ships which were used for that purpose being the ones thnt were wized from Germany at tho beginning of the war. What would be accomplished by the Hurley plan would be the building up of an American merchant marine thnt eould successfully hold’ito own in trans­ portation of American products a cross the seas, also tho building up at fleets of American ships that the government STATE BOAD. could take over quickly in ease of war.

We have increased our desire for the things that minister to the mind and to the soul. We have raised the mental and moral standards of life. , We have had the blessings of peace and of honorable and friendly relations with our sister nations throughout the world. Disasters visiting certain of our states have touched the heart of a sym­ pathetic Nation, which has responded generously out of its abundance. In continuing to remember those in afflic­ tion we should rejoice in our ability to give them relief. Now that these twelve months are drawing to a close, it is fitting that, as DAY OF HUMILITY HND GRATITUDE FOR BLESSINGS Spirit of Humble Thankful­ ness Should Mark All Thoughts at This Season. The fixing a day. especially by the civil authority, for the giving of thanks seemp to raise the question and seasons It does not seem probable that mnn would have given any atten­ tion whatever tu the spiritual side of his nature. Worship In a duty at nil times, and yet we have our Sunday ns a special day of worship, nnd It hue been found to bo of great value. If i)Ot indispensable. It Is so with the Christian year, with Its round of floats and fusts. Than this there Is no rhore effective guardian of the faith, no more potent spiritual Influ­ ence. So we have our Thanksgiving day, which perhaps it would be well to consider as a feast of the Christian year, along with Christmas and Easter. It certainly Is worth little to those who disregard or fall to appre­ ciate Its deeply religious significance. Men are not supposed to say: “Go to, lot us be thankful on the fourth Thursday in November," but rather: "Let us sliow In a special way and by a common worship on that day the thankfulness thnt wo always feel." Thus It Is that the dny should be kept, not only in a spirit of thankful­ ness, but with a hund'le sense of de­ pendence on God. such a dependence ns shall destroy, for the time at any ■ rate, lhat arrogant spirit of self­ sufficiency which Is so offensive to God nnd man, and so destructive character. Humble Thankfulness. Perhaps the note of humility tu the a nation and as individuals, in accord­ ance with a time-honored, sacred cus­ tom we should consider the manifold blessings granted to us. While in grati­ tude we rejoice we 'should humbly pray that we may be worthy of a continuation of divine favor. Wherefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, Presi­ dent of the United States, do hereby set apart and designate Thursday, the 24th day of November, next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and recom­ mend and urge that on that day our people lay aside their usual tasks, and by the family fireside and in their accus­ tomed places of public worship give thanks to Him who holds all in the hol­ low of His hand. , In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this 26th day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and fifty-second. Calvin Coolidge. observance of the day should be mors marked than even that of gratitude. It is to a bumble thankfulness that: the nation Is called. How can thank-' fulness to the Almighty be other than humble? If It Is not that it la likely to be patronizing—as in truth it often has been. It was against this seif­ sufficiency that the author of the l»ouk of Deuteronomy warned bls peoplo In the most Impressive way, remind­ ing them that they were absolutely de;»endent on God. and trying to make them realize that everything they had, and thnt all the blessings they enjoyed, had come from Him. | Danger of Forgetting God. Thankfulness is a necessary and vital part of worship, and ft Is through worship, however we may define the word, thnt ft finds expres-' alon. It was when men had “eaten ( and were full” that they were In danger of forgetting God, In danger of falling prey to the great vice of self-sufficiency. Thus it eeema that what people, in their materialism, count the greatest blessings, may be the worst evils with which a human soul niujriH.- afflicted. This Idea was expressed by Bacon in hia well-known declaration that prosperity Is the blessing of the Old Testament and adversity of the New Testament. One may go further and say that pros­ perity may or may not be a blessing —it all depends on Its effect on char­ acter. Whether a man is rich or poor does not matter If his state of mind and attitude of soul are such aa should mark the life of a child of God. 8lr Henry Wotton was wise when he prayed God "more of His grace than gifts to send." for the favor of God, and the divine power In which men may share, ere possessions which the good and great have ever coveted and often enjoyed. No one can be Injured by the granting of a prayer for them. Goodness, unselfish­ ness, Integrity, moral and spiritual courage, cleanness of heart nnd life, purity of soul, the capacity of self­ sacrifice, true humility—fur these graces nnd virtues, and such as they, ono who possesses them, or any of them. In even slight degree, cannot be too thankful. Indeed, the very possession of them, or. If not that, the craving for them, will make one thankful. - Such a man wilt never plead his own merits as deserving of ognlze those merits, and will be very )lkely to undervalue them. Certainly he will revolt from such a commer­ cial view of hia relationahlp with God. It la a contemptible idea, that of so much thankfulness for so much good. * The next step would be to thunk God for what we nre. an atti­ tude condemned 20 centuries ago In Immortal words. The man rejected had many "gifts.” but his heart wns untennnted by divine grace, and bls soul was sufficient unto Itself. True Thankfulness. There Is therefore reason to think that there Is a real danger even In thankfulness If It Is unnacompanied by humbleness of spirit, and a sense of personal unworthiness. We do not thank God as we politely thank a friend for a courtesy or slight favor, which we may, perhaps rightly, feel was fairly due us. Thankfulness to tho Almighty means a pouring out of the heart ahd soul- In reverent grati­ tude for "Inestimable benefits'* to which wo mny not feel ourselves In any sense entitled, and which we are surely conscious of not having mer­ ited or earned. Something of thia Thanksgiving day ought to mean to our people, who have In their na­ tional life so much of which to be deeply ashamed.—Indianapolis News.

In 1789 the Episcopal church for­ mally recognised the civil govern­ ment’s authority to appoint such a feast, and In 1888 tho Roman Catholic church also decided to honor a festi­ val which had long been nearly uni­ versally observed. The earliest harvest Thanksgiving In America was kept by the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth In 1621 and was repeated often during that and the ensuing century. Congress recom­ mended days of thanksgiving annually during the Revolution and in 1784 for the return of peace—as did President Madison in 1815, following the dose of the second war with Great Britain. The first truly national Thanksgiv­ ing was observed in 1780 Tho first congress, sitting in New York, then the capital of the young nation, adopt­ ed a resolution requesting President Washington to appoint a day of thanksgiving for the general benefit and welfare of the nation. * First Proclamation. In compliance with tho request Washington issued bls proclamation October 3. 1789, setting apart Tburs- arrogance of prosperity and from hasarding tho advantages wa enjoy by delusive pursuits; to dispose tu to merit the rontlnuancs of Hie favors by nut abusing them, by our gratitude for them, and by a corresponding con­ duct as citizens and as men to ren­ der tide country more and mors a safe nnd propitious asylum for the unfortunate of other countries; to ex­ tend among ns true and useful knowl­ edge; to diffuse and establish habits of sobriety, order, morality and piety, and finally to Impart all th* blessings voted by the people of these states to the service of that Great and Glorious Being who Is tho beneficent author of all tho good that was, that is, or that will be." The people were requested to pray for "the pardon of out na­ tional and other transgressions; for wise. Just and constitutional laws, dis­ creetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; for a larger knowledge and better practice of true religion and virtue and for the Increase of science amoug all mankind." In 1705 Washington Issued bls sec­ ond proclamation appointing a day for a national thanksgiving. In this proc­ lamation. which named February 19 xlne she caused so much agitation that In 1864 congress declared that tho last Thursday of November should thereafter be a legal holiday. Since then every President has is­ sued tha welcomed proclamation, aud whole family of mankind. "In testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of the United fttataa hand. Done at the city of Philadel­ phia tho first day of January, 1796.“ Sarah Hale's Good Work Sarah Josephs Hale, editor of Codey’s Ladles' Book, began a cam­ paign of propaganda for having a statute fixing the day for the Thanks­ giving ceremony, and through her tbo American people follow the ad­ vice of Governor Bradford of the early Plymouth colony and “after a special manner rejoice together."

Then came a lapse of 47 years, from 1815 until 1862. before the nation again was called upon to give thanks In a proclamation Issued by President Lin­ coln, who summoned his countrymen especially to "acknowledge and ren­ der thanks to our Heavenly Father for the signal victories, vouchsafed by Almighty God, to the land and naval forces engaged In suppressing an In­ ternal uprising and for averting from our country the dangers of foreign Intervention and Invasion." Since 1863 the Presidents have always is­ sued proclamations appointing the last Thursday in November as ThanksgtvWashington's Appeal. “When we review the calamities which afflict so many other nations, the present condition of the United States affords much matter of conso­ lation and satisfaction. Our exemp­ tion hitherto from foreign war, an In­ creasing prospect of the continuance of that exemption, the great degree of Internal tranquillity we have en­ joyed. the recent confirmation of that tranquillity by the suppression of an insurrection, which ao wantonly threatened It, the happy course of our public affair?

MOON FARMING, Moon farming, according to the Weather Bureau, is “moonshine.” has absolutely no support from any scientific point of view. By “moon farming” is meant rowing or reaping, breeding or butchering, shingling or shearing, or any other farm activities supposed to bo affected by tho “dark” or the “light” or some other phase of tho moon. Tho chief things affecting tho growth of crops nt any stage nre: Temperature and moisture conditions of soil and air; composition of adjacent atmosphere; kind nnd intensity of light; presence or absence nnd severity of plant disease; mechanical condition of soil, loose or compact; fertility of tbo soil and quantity of other vegeta­ tion, or weeds, present.

These records have proven the worth of these cows—whether they were profitable cows or not. % The above Ten Cows were from different parts of Michigan—2 from Ionia Co., I from Wayne Co., 1 from Genesee Co., 3 from Macomb Co., I from Kent Co., 1 from Leelanau Co., I from Lapeer Co. It doesn't take a very wide stretch of imagination to see that these cows are PROFITABLE TO THEIR OWNERS. . The above figures are taken from best authority. In every section of Michigan Greater Dairy Profits are being realized be­ Have You a Cow That Can Qualify for This Class ? < cause records are being kept and better cows are taking the places of unprof­ itable cows—scrubs, boarders, drones, loafers. Farmers may well adopt the slogan—"When greater profits are made on the farm, better bred cows will make them.” Barry county has a golden opportunity to become a first class Dairy County. Soil and environment are right, and if every farmer will give greater attention to improving his dairy herd he can be assured of an in­ creased income.

For the ten days preceding CARNEGIE CORPORATION APPROPRIATES $5,000 Aim Ib to Make Continuing of Adult Education More Help­ ful in Thia State, The BANNER has mentioned the fact that 85,000 has been appropriated by the Carnegie Corporation for the purpose of studying the field of, continu­ ing or adult education in Barry and Jackson counties. The following let­ ter from Prof. Willard, director of con­ tinuing education at the State College, will give our readers adequate idea of tho whole matter. Wo are sure it will be read with a great deal of interest by the people of tho county. He write < a* follows: Who Started Study? A proposal was made by tho Michigan State College to the- American Association for Adult Education to study the whole field of Continuing or Adult Education In two counties: one a distinctly fanning eouw ty, with a county scat that was fairly well integrated with the farming busi­ ness: one an agricultural county with a manufacturing cental that was lopend­ ent largely on non-agrieultural indus­ try. Ax you know Barry was chosen for the first county and Jackson for the second. The American Association for Adult Edneation interested the Carneg­ ie Corporation to make a grant of 85,000 for the purpose qf making tho study. . Continuing Education, and Adult Edu­ cation. The term adultwduention needs no definition for most people. If you want one, I use the following: "Any purposeful effort to increase knowledge, skill or appreciation." (This might bo further qualified to include tho follow, ing adjectives: "sustained" effort, "systematic" effort, "continuing" ef­ fort, "proper" knowledge, etc., ns dis­ tinguished from harmful.)

V. Doty, Secy.—Adv. 11-30. Thanksgiving, every night his truck, loaded with from 5,500 to 0,000 pounds of dr«»l poultry, made the trip to De­ troit. Because he was building thia year nt the time when the demand for .turkeys, ducks and geese for Thanks­ giving would be at its height, he was unable to take eare of that part of his trade, dressing only a few geese and a few turkeys. When one realizes that in a brief ten day period from 25 to 30 tons of dreued chickens went from Hastings, it ran be seen that this has become a splendid poultry market. With tho increased facilities which Mr. Tolles will have when his new building is entirely com­ pleted, he will be able to do a consider­ ably larger business next year. His new building is 30 x 70. Next year he plans to wreck the old frame building, erecting a new one in its place the same as the one he is now completing, which will be entirely fireproof, and make a building 30 x 125. With completion of that project Mr. Tolles will bo able to reach out still farther and handle a greater volume of business. His being hero, and being established hero permanently, ought to bo a big incentive to those who uro in a position to raise poultry in this county to get into the game. By reason of his splendid Detroit con­ nections Mr. Tolles is enabled to pay the very top notch prices for poultry. FOUR DEER SEEN IN THORNAPPLE TWP.

That organissd effort would require the expenditure of some money. Aet. No. 255 of the Publie Acts of 1925 provides tho way for raising the money needed to promote the industrial growth of this city. Is there any reason why we should not organise to go after the new factories that wo ncodf Can any excuse be framed for failure to do so, vide* so easy and plain a way for doingitt Tho council of this city has, by unanimous action, expressed their en­ tire willingness to carry out tho pro­ visions of this law if that is what a majority of tho citizens of Hastings want. The question then arises: Do grow! They surely realise that the on­ ly possible wsy for the town to grow is by getting more industries located here. In our own judgment, there is no question about the wish of an over­ whelming majority of tho people of Hastings on that subject. They Want the town to grow and prosper. Why then is no effort made to taka advantage of tho now law! Why is not something done and done soon to show tho common eouacll of tho eity of Hastings that tho great majority of the people of this city do want tho council to take advantage of the pro­ visions of tho law! All money that may be raised in this way will be spent directly by the council. It will be ab- test spring, to 81.10 on each 8100. To raise it to tho maximum provided by tho law mentioned would take but 81.50 on tho 8100 in any one year. Bailing that amount would not bo required of­ ten, if at ail. The council is always anxious to keep taxes down, and would never raise more than was absolutely required. But if wo are going to get factories a fund to be used for that purpose is absolutely necessary. There done. YANKEE SPRINGS SCHOOL HOUU.

I have found a new place to do my Christmas shopping, and you’ll never guess where! Goodyear Bros. Hdwe. Co.! I stopped in there yesterday to buy a paring knife and when I started to look- around, it was really astonishing what a rush of inspirations I had. In the first place I noticed that they had Hall teapots. You know they are featured so much in the leading magazines that I supposed they were terribly expensive. Instead of. that they are S2.26, and oh such lovely colors and shapes! I bought a darling green and gold one for Peg—already, I say, I have bought it. One burden off my mind this soon, ahd won’t Peg just love it! And if you don't think you can find beautiful things in a Hardware store, just let me tell you that Goodyear Brothers have the most beautiful electric waffle iron I ever saw in my life! That is, I hope they still have it, for I certainly intend to tell friend husband that I am simply mad over it. It has ivory handles and little ivory feet and is trimmed with a wreath design. The salesman said it was made by the Rochester Stamping Company, and Rochester is the last word in nickel ware. I can easily believe it, for they had a beautiful percolator and tray and any number of lovely mounted casseroles from the same factory. There were some other good looking percolators, too, and toasters and grills. There was one automatic toaster— the bread toasts on both sides at once, and as soon as it is done, it jumps right up out of the slot—the cutest thing! And there was a grill that would toast a slice of bread on both sides, broil bacon and fry eggs—all at the same time. While I was looking at the toasters I saw an electric pad, so comfortable looking in its fluffy white cover, that I bought it for Aunt Lucy. Don't you.think that that niae dry heat will feel oozy on her rheumatic knee? I chose a gift for Marjory too—you remember my little niece? It is a complete set of aluminum, all on a small scale but large enough to cook real food. There was a darling set of child's Pyrex too, and some little flat irons. I am going to giv^ one to each of the little girls in my Sunday School class when we have our Christmas party. There were ever so many things there that would do for little remembrances too. I was quite taken with some bathroom tumblers in assorted colors, they were so dainty and gay—and they were only thirty-five cents. There were also sets of table mats—brocaded white on one side and dark green on the other. They are oval in shape and of graded sizes, and can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Goodyear's are selling out their Rogers' and Oommunity silver plate and so.there are wonderful bargains in that— I also everything at half price. It just fascinates me to look. bought three balls of Christmas twine so that my parcel post packages would look inviting. I bought a set of Christmas tree lights too. And then I saw-fbut I never planned to write such a volume.

JANE. GOODYEAR BROS. HARDWARE COMPANY HASTINGS - MICHIGAN r 1 �THE HASTTNOS BANNER, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1W7 THE NEW FORD HE full story of the new Ford automobile, described by Henry Ford as being "supe­ rior in design and performance to any. now available in the low price, light car field," is be­ ing told today. , T A public reception is to be held here simul­ taneously with similar gatherings at every Ford dealer in the United States, thus constituting a part of the greatest automobile show in the his­ tory of the industry. While no detailed descriptions can yet be given out by us, the Ford Motor Company, from its headquarters in Detroit, has announced that the new Ford car will be as far in advance of present public demand for speed, flexibility, con­ trol in traffic and economy of operation as the famous Model T was in advance of public de­ mand when it was introduced in 1908. We have not yet been advised as to the prices at which the new Ford line will sell, but definite assurance has come from Detroit that the prices will be entirely in accord with the policy of the Ford Motor Company to provide the best pos­ sible automobile at the lowest possible price. Elaborate arrangements are being made for the public reception here. City officials and prominent business men of Hastings and vicin­ ity have been invited and preparations have been made to give every caller at the show a thorough understanding of this car which is ex­ pected to make a new chapter in automobile history. Four wheel brakes, standard selective gear transmission, extraordinary acceleration, a speed of sixty miles an hour and more, a prac­ tically vibrationless engine, and unusual beauty in line and color are among the outstanding features of the new Ford cars, the first of which will be shown in many parts of the country next Friday. The generator, oiling system, steering gear and rear axle are of new Ford de­ sign, it is announced. And its 40-horsepower engine has been so designed that it runs 20 to 30 miles an hour on a gallon of gasoline. important, it is stated that when traveling at such speeds, it holds the road easily, and with comfort to driver ‘ ' and passengers. It is also stated with equal । positiveness, however, that it performs in an equally spectacular manner on bad roads, In its design, Mr. Ford has held to his original idea of a car which can meet all conditions and types of roads. Appreciating the constantly increasing im­ portance of acceleration, the Ford Motor Com­ pany has given a great deal of study to this feature of the new car. In high gear tests with Jhe new two passengers in a Tudor sedan it has shown an acceleration of from 5 to 25 miles an hour in 8*4 seconds. The new Ford car also introduces a new type of four-wheel brakes. An exclusive Ford develop­ ment, they are of the mechanical, shoe-expand­ ing type, and are self-centering- The brake pedal and the hand brake each operate all four brakes. It is stated that thia is the most reliable and simplest type of four-wheel brake, and also the easiest to adjust, all adjustments being made from the outside without removing any parts. Ford the most amazing value ever offered in Low Price Car This car, which is to succeed the famous Mod­ el T line, will be shown on Friday by Ford deal­ ers in many of the larger cities of the country. For months factory models of the new car have been undergoing severe performance tests in and around Detroit. One of these factory models recently made a road run of 120 miles in 124 minutes. This run, it is said, was made on an ordinary paved highway near Detroit. Local dealers, in commenting on the forth­ coming show, said their first view of the new Ford car had substantiated Henry Ford’s state­ ment that "there is nothing quite like it in qual­ ity and price." "Mr. Ford’s statement had prepared us for a surprise, but the new Ford car is better even than we had hoped for. It is certain to make history in the automotive industry, just as its predecessor, the famous Model T, has made his­ tory for twenty years. We are proud of the new car and feel certain that its appearance and performance will attract unprecedented at­ tention among automobile owners." After six months of "saying nothing but saw­ ing wood,*’ Henry Ford announces the specifi­ cations of the new Ford car which succeeds his famous Model T. A bare listing of those speci­ fications presents a picture of an automobile that in performance, appearance and mechani­ cal features has heretofore been associated with a considerably higher price class. , Unusual speed and acceleration are among the outstanding features of the new car. It is' announced as being able to make 55 to 60 miles] an hour, with ease, in recent tests it has made! even more without difficulty. What is more In addition to freedom from vibration, it is announced that the car is unusually quiet, a great deal of attention having been paid to this feature by the Ford engineers. In the engine, the timing gears are made of bakclized fabric, which is much quieter than metal. The cams on the camshaft have been so designed as to prevent valve clicking. The coachwork of the car is as distinctive as its performance. There is a noticeable Euro­ pean touch in line and contour. It is not only designed for exterior,beauty, but has as well the interior roominess, convenience and luxuri­ ous appointments to be found in much higher priced automobiles. On an instrument board of satin-finished nickel are mounted the speed­ ometer, gasoline gauge, ammeter and ignition lock, with a dashlight in the center. The new military-type sun visor, with crown roof and round corners, are features of the closed models. Unusually narrow pillars and very wide doors and windows give maximum vision. Nickeled radiator shell and headlamps further accentuate the exterior attractiveness, while choices of four colors in pyroxylin finish are offered. Simplicity in design has also been carried to the ignition. There is only one coil, in a water­ proof case. There are no vibrators to adjust, and no exposed cables to work loose or short circuit from water. The distributor is located in a readily accessible position on top of the Centrifugal water pumps, large radiator and airplane propeller-type fan provide a cooling system which makes the car very difficult to overheat, except from abuse, such as running without enough oil, or dry radiator. In Hastings photographs and descriptive charts of the new cars will be on display at our showrooms, where the public will be given the complete-story of the new Ford car. Later vari­ ous models of the new Ford line will be on dis­ play here. . So far the new cars have been examined only by those who will have charge of the first show­ ings and demonstrations. Salesmen and demon­ strators are studying charts and diagrams which will be used in explaining the various details of design, appearance and performance. An engine that is practically vibrationless de­ velops 40 horsepower at 2,200 revolutions per minute. This low revolution speed in ratio to the high horsepower is illustrative of the un­ usual efficiency of the engine. Also, it means longer life, the lower engine speed insuring less wear on engine parts. The low revolution speed is also a substantial factor ia lessening vi­ bration. The bore is 3 7-8 inches, stroke 4 1-4 ipches. The unusually large crankshaft, which is both statically and dynamically balanced, weighs 28 pounds. This balancing, combined with the lightness of aluminum alloy pistons, further combine to reduce vibration and in­ crease riding and driving comfort and safety. From 20 to 30 miles to a gallon of gasoline, depending upon driving speed, is the gasoline consumption announced. Feed to carburetor is by gravity. Hastings will get its first full description of the new line of Ford automobiles Friday. A public reception to be held by us is part of the nationaal in­ troduction of the new Ford models. In thousands of communi­ ties all over the United States, Friday, this new line of moder­ ately priced light automobiles will be introduced to millions of peoThe doors of the showrooms are to be opened promptly at eight A. M. and attendants will be on hand throughout the remainder of the day to explain the new and interesting features of the car which is ex­ pected to make a new chapter in automotive history. The performance of these new cars, it is said, will be startling when viewed in the light of automobile performance of the past. We have been notified by Ford officials at Detroit that the fac­ tories throughout the country are now preparing to produce the new cars in numbers exceeding even the tremendous production records achieved in the manufacture of the Model T line. The oiling system, also a distinctive Ford de­ sign, is a combination of pump, splash and grav­ ity feed. The new transmission is of the select­ ive sliding gear type, with standard shift, three speeds forward and one reverse. The main shaft runs on ball bearings, the counter-shaft on roller bearings and the reverse idler on bronze bearings, a power-saving design unusual on light cart. Shifting of gears is noiselessly and easily accomplished, at the pressure of a finger. Multiple dry-disc clutch, rear axle of threequarter floating type housed in electrically welded steel, and spiral bevel gear drive are in­ teresting features. The axle shafts carry none of the weight of the car, the wheels running on roller bearings on the housing. Newly develop­ ed springs of the transverse semi-elliptic type and hydraulic shock-absorbers prevent exces­ sive up-and-down movement and remove side Irreversible steering-gear, which prevents shocks from being transmitted back to the hands of tha driver, makes handling. exceptionally easy. Maximum steering safety is further pro­ vided by a gear housing of welded st6el forg­ ings, and a steel tube steering column welded into the housing, making a sturdy and excep­ tionally safe one-piece unit. Company officials at Detroit also repeated their early announce­ ment that production of the new Ford line will not make the Model T line obsolete. The manufacture of new parts for Model T replace­ ments will continue to be an important factor of the Ford plants as long as any of the Model T cars are still in operation, the local deal­ ers were advised. Because of this policy, present owners of Model T Ford cars will be able to keep their cars in perfect order as long as those cars "remain in commission.

THE DEL-MARI SHOP 1 Underneath the Hastings National Bank Building WAKEFIELD—STINE. An interesting social event took El ace oh Wednesday, Nov. 30, at tho ome of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Btinn of Routh Assyria when their daughter, Barnh Lucretia, was given in marriage by her father to Mr. Wm. L. Wakefield, also of Assyria. Cadman's “At Dawning,” sung by Mrs. David Stiae, preceded the wedding march from Lohengrin played by Mrs. Elaworth. A pretty bower composed of growing plants, chrysanthemums, carnations and crepe paper in white, pink nnd lavender supported tho white wedding bell daint­ ily twined with zmilax, under which the young people responded to the sac­ red vows pronounced by Rov. A- L. Elaworth of tho Battle Creek tircnit. The bride, attended by Miss Thelma Hewitt, wan most becomingly gowned in. white silk with trimming* of sliver and lavender and carried a shower bou­ quet of white roses nnd sweet peas. Miss Hewitt was dressed in blue silk with an arm bouquet of pink rosea. The groom wan attended by Mr. Bernard Rhcpard. The guests ineluded only near­ est relatives and friends who eame from Detroit, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Belle­ vue end locally. Following the ceremony ice eream and cake were served and surprisingly noon the newly-wed* departed fortheir new home on the Fred Cash more farm on M 79, Aaayria. , New Law Requires Inspection by State Official Before They Can Be Offered for Sale It appears that Christmas trees nnd other holiday greenery which may bo offered for rale in Michignn thin Christ­ mas senson, must first be inspected by some representative of the State Com­ missioner of Agriculture, or there may be trouble for tho one who offers tho goods for sale. Thp warning wns given as a reminder of the new law pasted by the last legislature. That law aimed to prevent the promiscuous eutling of small trees to l>e offered for anta as Christina* tree*. Vandal* have been known to go into parts of the state, hack down the young tree* by the hun­ dred* and oven thousands, shipping them by carloads aad truck loads to tho cities. The legislature proposed to prevent this theft of trees, ns well as to prevent the spreading of tree disease. Tho law specifically forbids the purchase of un­ inspected trees, so purchasers for re­ sale of such trees as are not in­ spected automatically become liable to the law. Persons with trees to sell should therefore ask inspection from tho fltate Agricultural Commissioner's Department, not pf the .Conservation Deportment as some have done under a misapprehension.

FOB THE MASBK8, NOT THE EXCEPTIONS Rome good eitixens advocate the re­ moval of all protective tariffs, on the theory that America with her superior msnnfacturing genius would still be ahead-of foreign rivals forjhe Ameri­ can market. Wc might throw open the patent field and let the world in on basic pat­ ents, on the same theory. Tho tariff is os old as organised society, aud has been used by leading countries to-build up certain agricultural aad manufac­ turing pursuits as national assets, and to prevent dependence on foreign sup­ plies.

New record* are being made annually and the good that flow* from these is reflected in the greater prosperity that every class that makes up our society now enjoy*. THE railroad traffic unit — the ton of freight — in traveling more mile* each day than ever. . THE additional mileage made by each ton of freight per diem means that the manufacturer can utilize hi* plant to greater advantage by clearing hi* shipping room regularly and carrying a smaller inventory in his stock room. The distributor at destination can likewise carry on business with a smaller inventory inasmuch a* he is always certain of regular deliveries. The manufacturer put* through hi* bill* of lading at the bank several days earlier than before and so his capital is turned over oftener. ALL of these conditions mean benefits to every stratum of society. THE railroad worker is paid higher wages for his services, since the railroads arc doing more work, and their unit of cost makes this possible. THE consumer of commodities finds that prices are kept down to a lower level than would otherwise obtain. THE business man, who ventures into modern business, can carry on with a smaller capital. . _ ALL, therefore, share in the benefits of the accelerated freight service. NOWHERE else under heaven’s blue canopy is this so apparent. NOWHERE in America are these conditions more applicable than in the territory served by the Michigan Railroad Association, the industrial area which is making the greatest forward strides on this continent.

D i* dr»igned to equalize educational opportunities for nil the children of the Male of )Vi*. cousin, whether living in cities of largo taxable wealth or in *p«rrely settled rural district*. This objective is to be attained through tho distribution of the state school fund of $5,850,000 in 1028—<•,000,000 more than previously available in nay year—on the basis of tho school district’* ability, or rather inahilitv, to tax itself for the support of local schools. Milwaukee, for inrianre, which has drawn from <80,000 to $100,000 more from this state school fund than it put into thnt fund through taxation in the past, will now contribute *.'00,000 a year to tho support of tho rural school*, instead of receiving /rom *80,000 to *100,000 from the stale. Communities with little taxable wealth haw often suffered because of their monger showing in n school con»us, which was formerly tho bnsi* of the distribution of the common school fund in Wisconsin, ns it is in Michigan. I Another result hns been that many com­ munities hnvc drawn large state fund* , for the support of public schools nnd then ninny of their Inhabitant* have sent their children to private or chureh schools. All this is to Ijc changed in Wiscon­ sin. A state law intended to strengthen tho public school system and change the ba»>" of the distribution of the state school funds was passed by the last legislature and will go into effect Janu­ ary I. 1028. Under this new law. each school room will bo awarded an initial fund of $250 from the state without re­ gard to taxable wealth. Thi* will ag­ gregate $3,800,000 in 1928. But nt thnt point the stnte “Equalization Fund” will enter into the calculation. Com­ munities with n minimum of taxable wealth may draw up to *000 of stat* funds for each teacher, while district* thnt have *250,000 or more of property on the tax rolls will not share further in the distribution. We nre sure thnt the educator* of Michigan will watch this Wisconsin ex periment with mueh interest. It cer­ tainly looks a» if it would strengthen the public school system. It surely should bo strengthened wherever pos­ sible nnd everybody in the stnte should be interested in having it strengthened. If thia shall work out all right in Wis­ consin there is no reason why it should not in Michigan or any other state.

There have been pending for some time important relocation projects awaiting the decision of tho Hupromo Court upon the constitutionality of the law passed by the 1927 Legislature, which wax handed down December 1st, tho decision sustaining the validity of State Highway Commissioner Frank F. Roger* has been awaiting thi* de­ cision before proceeding with the solu­ tion of several perplexing problems which have involved controversies that have delayed important construction projects. The moat notable of thc*e is the super-highway project between Lansing nnd East Lansing, whore a double roadway with a 200 foot right of way was authorized more than a year ago. The pavement on a part of thia project wa* laid early this fall, but completion wa* held up owing to tho controversy between the state and Frank E. Church, owner of residence property adjacent to the East Lansing eity limits. A* planned, a part of this pavement was completed on tho south side of the boulevard. The boulevard would go through tho property ownod by Mr. Church, necessitating the re­ moval of hi* brick residence, and ha* been (topped at tho Chureh property, necexritating a sharp and dangerous de­ tour from tho now pavement to the old Cvenfent which is only 18 feet wide. r. Church has refused the offers of the state for the required portion of hi* property to permit the 200-fOot right of way, on the ground that tho new boulevard waa not n publie necessity, ■iso that the aet under which condem­ nation proceeding* wero proposed was unconstitutional. Under the new law the State High­ way Commissioner is authorized to cal) a hearing and to determine the neees sity of such proposed improvement. Tho commissioner shall then make a tender of the estimated damages, aad servo the damage settlement not be effected satisfactorily the State Highway Com­ missioner shall petition the • Circuit Court judge for the appointment of a board of eommiMionera to determine tho amount of damage* and tho Circuit Court judge shall order the time and place for a hearing upon thia subject and the dot«rmination of tho eommi* ■loners as to the amount of damages to be paid shall be final.

In the second place, the higher price would apply not only to the part of the crop actually exported but to all the rest of the crop, too. It would lie reasonable to have the export premium somewhat higher in to discourage flour milling in this eounJn fact, it would be poMiblc to coing the rate of export premium on a barrel of flour not merely four and one half timea the rate of premium on n I bushel of wheat, but something in cxecM of that amount.

I been feeding the ohiokine evry day and shovelld the snow off the walk without noone telling me. Only ma did a oupple of times. ’'She sed I ought to ask Santy for a new snow shovel but dad can buy one at Goodyears store and I want you to bring me somepin useful like a coaster wagon and some skates. I mean ioe skates tho I like roller ones too. And Id like a hookey stick and a football and a pooket knife and a flash light. I dont want to seem like Im asking too much but anyway I know flashlights aint eggspensive because Goodyears have some real . good ones for 75 cents. I got some money saved up but I want to buy Dad some golf balls at Goodyears so I cant buy a flashlight I wish I could buy Dad that swell fishing rod he looked at so much. Dad is a good scout. But the thing I want most deer Santy Olaus is some Northland skis and a Northland tobaggan, all the champions use Northland skis. Of course I aint a ohamjAin yet but I will practise. And the other thing I want most is a speedster auto like the one at Goodyears that will go 100 yards in 15 seconds and a Ingersoll watch. I like bicycles real well like those at Goodyears but if yoin think I am asking too much velocipedes are nice too. * Now if theres anything I asked for that you dont know what kind I mean, Goodyears have a good line. When I say that I mean it is oompulmentary to Goodyears. Last night when ma . • told Dad he had a good line when he told why he was late for supper Ma did not mean to be oompulmentary to Dad. Bud said to tell you he wants a sled and a scooter and a game of indoor horseshoes and a mouth organ and BB gun .and baseball glove. If you cant bring them all please brinfe the a gosh awful fielder and needs all baseball glove because Bud is ' the help he can get. Sis said she wants a little carpet sweeper but you dont have to bring that because I heard Aunt Betty tell ma she was . sweeper and floor mop at Goodyear going to get Sis a littler dont need to bring that mebbe you Brothers. So £_ as long w as. you ... . like . ... —i_ -S5 sets oan bring me a kit of tools them at Goodyears. iThe are fine and of course the S10 are tdo.

Use only metallic tinsel or other non-inflam­ mable material. Asbestos fibre may be used for suow. Elect ria bulbs should be used in place of eandle*.

Shopping during the last two days before Christmas can best be done in the morning hours. The store is so filled with people during the afternoon shopping hours that itis impossible to give the service we should. In the morning, however, you can receive the best of attention, the sales people are rested and can give you better service, the stocks are all in order for ease of selection. Ten Percent Discount Will Be Allowed on All Purchases Made Between the Hours of 9 to {11 A. M. During these last two days, Friday and Satur day, before Christmas, every purchase, with the exception of Mary Lee Candies, made between nine and eleven in the morning will be allowed a ten per cent discount.

Hia idea* were eet forth in the article which wo print below: No other fact la the agricultural aitnation I* «o familiar to all a* that price* of farm product* eInca 1020 have been badly out of line with price* of though not *n nointerrupted, progress in the relation of Industrial to agricul­ tural prices. But there is ample room for Improvement. Some sections are behind other* in recovering from tho post-war slump. Wo still need a better balance between agriculture and indus­ try in tho diitribution of the national income. . An important problem in the relation of agricultural to industrial price* is that of recurring surpluses of farm produel* and the resulting price depres­ sions. Thore who produce crops of which the market will lake an insreased amount only at a more than proportionntcly reduced priee, have reason to l>e apprehensive of a generally bountiful harvest. The result is that an abundant erop may sell for less in the aggregate than n smaller one, Under such circum­ stances, tho farmer In effect not only recolvoa no additional returns from his surplus, but is obliged to pay for the privilege of giving it away. Thus the abundance of a crop may bring benefits to dcslcr* and consumers, and disadvan- An illustration is found in cotton last year. Trouble will occur again nnd again in cotton and other crops, until we doviae an effective means of taking -nre of surpluses that are due to excepi ionally favorable reason*, and until we make substantially greater progress in adjusting production to demand. This surplus problem is too complleated from the standpoint of both its caurei* nnd it * effects to admit of a de­ tailed discussion now, hut certain out- mentioned. An increase in tho domestic output of a given crop from one year to the next may not necessarily present a surplus problem. Pronuctinn cliicwherc may have fallen off in the meantime or de­ mand inay have Increased, or both. Variation in total production from year to year I* due to change* in acre­ age or in yield per acre, or both. Of the total variations in our production of corn from year to year over a period of 21 year* (1005 to 1025), 85 per cent wa* ■ due to difference* In yield per acre nnd 15 per cent to acreage harvested. Then* are two line* of approach to the solution, as I see it. The fir»t is In controlling surpluses that arc due main­ ly to wenthrr conditions. This may be done, by holding a part of the abun­ dant erop from one mm son to the next or from one year to another. It i» also important to iw-cure a mon* regular flow of the product into tradc.ehannel*. The second approach ia through a bet­ ter adjustment of production to market conditiona. By thia I mean adjustment in kind, quality and amount of produc­ tion. This rail* for more complete and accurate information on supply and de­ mand ar home and abroad, made readily available to farmer* In time to help them regulate production. In handling surpluses due to weather conditions, I believe much could be done through commodity-stabilization corporation*, operated by the farmer* ^hcniM-lve*, or by their marketing or- st harvest lime. Loan* are now avail­ able through intermediate credit* up to 05 or 75 par eent of the market priee of a commodity stored in bonded ware­ house*.

Loss­ es Incurred by the corporation, in one of profitable operation. Adequate resources and personnel should be provided for the necessary research, as part of tho farm eeoaomlrs work In the Department of Agriculture. As ■ means of handling surpluses, this plan ia in aeeord with proposals which I have endorsed before. Success depends on lhe willingness of farmer* to organize on a largo —*-•' •» adopt sound business government ean not hai rlthout a plan ami expect it to effort on their part. This plan would not put the govern­ ment into the business of buying nnd selling farm product*. Each stabilization corporation should lx* a separate concern, representing one ciations, or other duly constituted or­ ganization* of producer*. Some people arc ready to dismia* al­ most any credit plan by dubbing it “ another sAhcnic for putting the farm­ er deeper in debt," and by asserting that “the farmer ha* hail too much There la a lot of talk nf thia kind, containing juat enough truth to make the error of it dangerous. I am well more credit than wa* good for them, and often the wrong kind of credit. No one conversant with the post-war boom, especially in the Middle West, nceda to Iw convinced that “easy credit" ia dangerous. The suggested plan of handling sur­ pluses of staple crops, however, is not at nil a question of “more credit to put the former deeper in debt," but one of suitable credit to put him in a better position to handle his surplus. If a farmer enn got his money out of hl* crop at harvest itmo to pay his bill* at tho store and his short-time, highcertainly hotter off than if he had to carry those debta aeveral month*.

Owner* of Timberland* More Interested Now in Possibilities of Trees aa Paying Crop* on Suitable Lancia, Forester Says Private forest landowners are be­ coming interested in tho possibilities of forest management to a greater degree then ever before, rays Col. William B. Greeley, chief forester, Unite*! States department of agriculture, in his annual report made public recently. The principle of sustained yield of timber as a working business policy is being given increasingly wider con­ sideration by the forest industries and timberland owners, the forester finds. Under this principle only as much tim­ ber ia cut yearly from a given unit of forest land as the land is replacing through growth, so that an industry dependent upon the timber supply of this land can be permanently main­ tained. “Sustained yield," says Colonel Greeley, “Is, of course, the underlying ides and essential aim of all forestry. We ahsll not have solved our national problem until the country as a whole ia on a sustained-yield basis, with tim­ ber production balancing current use. To the individual lumber or paper or other forest industry, the sustained yield conception offers the most ration­ al basis for stabilizing an enterprise throughout. If the forest industries of the West, where large quantities of virgin timber are still available, eould forthwith bo placed on a sustainedyield basis, lhe current output of forest products would not be materially cur­ tailed bnt expansion would be held down, overproduction would be cured st Its source, and a rational stability would bo introduced into all phases of industrial planning.” For many of the larger forest indus­ tries in the Eastern States, a sustained yield ean be attained only after a con­ siderable period of reforestation, and would involve/ for a time at least, a re­ duction from the present rate of entting. “It la desirable, however," says the Chief Forester, “to recognize that tho general reorganization of our forest industries around the sustained-yidld conception is necessary, tbrft ita accom­ plishment is the great goat to bo sought." To date, tho net gains in private forestry practice still fall far short of providing for tho future productivity of the 242,000/100 seres of forest Und In industrial ownership. The urea of cut-over Und left in poor productive condition is still enlarging, though prob­ ably at a substantially lower rata than fires, but still is far short of replacing the current drain upon the forest. Among the difficulties which stand in according to Colonel Greeley, are the current depression in lumber markets, the financial obligations imposed by existing investments in plants or tim­ berlands, the uncertainty as to the future course of taxation of merchant­ able timber and young growth, and the burden of i*aw material wastes still carried by most forest industries. Progress in farm forestry, helped by the stimulus of the Clarke-McNary law, Is declared to be relatively more rapid and pronounced than in industrial for­ estry, and in many ways timber pro­ duction is taking more definite form as a farm or farm-community activity. Protection of the National Forests from fire, says the Chief Forester, is everybody'a problem. As a result of a special study of the present organiza­ tion of the service for fire prevention and control, be has act down his con­ clusions as to the most urgent needs. Tho protection of the National Forests from fire would be well nigh an impos­ sible task if the Forest Service had to carry the burden unaided, he declares. “It makes a great practical differ­ ence,” he rays, “whether the view­ point ia that the Forest Service is pro­ tecting Government property with Government funds -or that the Forest Service and tho local public are work­ ing jointly to protect the forested land on which local prosperity depends.” One of the moat urgent needs, accord­ ing to Colonel Greeley, is vigorous de­ velopment of educational and coopera­ tive measures designed to prevent mancaused fires. He points out that it is essential that increased provisions be made for employing fire guards, pro­ curing fire equipment, const meting telephone lines, lookouts and other im­ provements, and training fire personnel. “Of our nearly 30,000,000 square miles of land area, all but a wholly in­ significant fraction must make ita con­ tribution to the Nation’s life ns tilled land, grazing land, qr forest land,” the Forester declares. “Wall-directed re­ search will enable us to obtain depend­ able knowledge of what land should be employed in foreat crops, of tho fffoet of present practices lipon timber grow­ ing, and of the methods of production and utilization that will be most ef­ ficient. On such knowledge public policies of forestry ean be securely timber probably ia increasing in re­ baaed and tho extension of private sponge particularly to the expanding forestry soundly guided. *1 The problems to be solved are of protection of cut-over Unde from'forest i | • I 1 ; Hundreds of People Every Year Save Thousands of Dollars In Our Christmas SAVINGS CLUB almost infinite number nnd diversity. They go deeper than the development of the most economical and profitable methods of growing timber ami utilixing forest products. They necessitate fundamental research in the various natural sciences which relate to Mils, plant life, and the organic substances which forests supply; they necessitate thoroughgoing industrial research that will make possible thn best adjustment between our forest resources and our manifold requirements; they necessitate economic research aimed at the whole great problem of land use, from stand­ point of present and future national needs.' ’ The estauiisnment of two new forest experiment stations during the past Centra! Rocky Mountain region and the Southwest still remain to be equipped for forest research. In cooperation with the States and private interests, under the terms of tho Clarke-McNary law, the Forest Service is making a thorough study of the taxation of forest lands in order to determine the extent to which pres­ ent methods of taxing timber lands hold back tho development of refores­ tation and scientific timber manage­ ment and what equitable taxation sys­ tem would best promote this. Progress is announced in the report. While the investigation appears likely to con­ tinue for five or six years, and it is not considered advisable to draw conclu­ sions in advance of complete evidence, tho investigators are now able to place information that has been gathered in the hands of those to whom it will be especially useful. Accordingly, field work will be begun in tho Pacific Northwest ............................ in the coining year. Hern __ the-problem is of great importance its application. One of these the Allegheny, will serve the needs in forest research of the Mid­ dle Atlantic States, and the other, the Central States Station, will servo tho Ohio and upper Miasiaaippi Valley.

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.
