But at that it was no disgrace for the youngsters, as the alumni teams were composed of some of the best play­ ers who ever represented N. H. 8. The girls’ teams were very evenly matched, but the Alumni managed to hold a slight lead throughout the game and won by a point margin, the score standing 20 to 19. The Alumni team was composed of Lydia Guy and Bernice Olmstead, forwards, Thelma Dahlstrom and HaxelLOlm­ stead. centers, and Evelyn Tleche and Helen Mack, guards. In the boys* game, the Alumni were more aggressive and rolled up a score of 31 to 12. The team was composed of Alton Vance and Emory Morris, forwards, Vernor Lynn, cen­ ter. Howard Deller and Merle Vance —guards, with Howard Sprague sub­ stituting for Alton Vance during a portion fo the last half. The high school teams will ;.lay their next games at Woodland on Friday evening of next week. $**■ rUrodted Chevrolet aad Hi Hand IMIy Cut, Requiring 0 fe.ca?'

King George will not, like Henry, the Sec­ ond ot England, exclaim, "Shame on a beaten King,” turn his face to the wall and die.

A DARING HOLDUP. A daring hold-up was that perpe­ trated Monday morning about 110 o’clock when four young men In a Chevrolet touring car held up one Alonzo Smith and his daughter, who were driving west from Kalamazoo and were just west of the M. C. via­ duct on the Dixie highway. They were driving a Brockway truck. The bandits held them up at the point of a gun and took Mr. Smith’s gold watch and about 1150 in cash. They then took the truck and drove rapidly westward. Th*> truck was seen on the pavement between De­ catur and Dowagiac, but to date the officers have not been able to locate it or the men. MJ. Smith tried to get a ride into Paw Paw to report the matter, but was not able to get any Automobile to stop and bring him to town, so it i was several hours after the crime before he was able to report tbe mat- ; ter to the sheriff’s office.—Paw Paw Courier-Northerner.

It was the first year in my Life to experience a whole year with no below zero in it. still 95 tn the shade was the high­ est point reached which was in June. Yet August was t^e hottest month as a whole, with a mean temperature of 74 3-4 degrees, and February the coldest with a 21 average. The av­ erage morning temperature tor tbe year was 41—57 for average mid­ day and 49 the average for the en­ tire year’s temperature—a comfortable year, surely. There were 163 fair days, 121 were cloudy to showery and 81 were stormy days, or 202 that were cloudy, to stormy, against 163 fair ones—still we here had no severe storms of any kind during the entire year and with the exception of the hay crop we bad two excellent crops and a wonderful pasniiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiijj I ALBERT E.

Her eyes were red and heavy, and she did not look at him, but set down a tray beside him, with a cup of tea and some strips of toast scorched over an open fire. "How do you feel now?" she asked anxiously. "I’m better," muttered Winton, try Ing to rise once more. But she put him gently back upon the pillow. “You are not well enough to get up,” she said. “You must rest till night­ fall. and than I shall try to get you out of Malopo. Father may be back today, but if he comes he will be In no con­ dition to 'understand or to cause trouble.” "Why should I leave Malopo?" naked Winton. “Who do you think I am?*’ "I don't know who you are," an­ swered Sheila, "hu i know that you came here to steal the De Witt dia­ mond.” Winton looked at her In incredulity. “You think I am a thief, then?" be asked. “Aren’t you?" she answered.

She shrugged her shoulders. “1 have lived long enough in this country to know that good men and bad men are Just about the same," she an­ swered. “Perhaps I have lost my sense of right and wrong. I don't know, or care. I only knew that you were in danger, and I wanted to help you as you wanted to help me, and did help me." “I see," said Winton, gazing at ber curiously and wondering whether the add of humiliation had eaten Into her soul beyond restoration. “I may as well explain to you where my father Is," the girl continued. "Mr. De Witt scat for him and offered him a position. I know what that means. He Is planning to use him as a tool for some dishonorable purpose, as be has often done before. We are in his hands. W® have only been three months In Malopo, and tbe same old story will repeat itself until we flee somewhere else. “Mr. De Witt has offered father th® position of compound manager on the Big Malopo as soon as the gangs ar­ rive. He has displaced a man for him. Father walked out to a new claim that the syndicate Is developing, outside the town, to see Mr. De Witt, and didn’t return. He will be back some time today, drunk.

With the realization that she bad mis­ judged him there came upon her vividly a sense of overwhelming shame at her situation with Winton in the little house. Her face was hidden by her hands, but her throat was scarlet. “I shall go this morning," said Win­ ton. "The company meeys at ten to turn over the property to the syndicate, and I have to be on hand—" She started and looked at him in fear. "At ten, did you say?*’ she cried. “It Is ten o’clock now!" She drew a little cheap watch from the front of her dress and held it out. Winton saw that the hands were almost upon the hour. With this the pain left him, he felt his old vigor in all his limbs; the ter­ rible emergency nerved him. He looked round for his hat, found It; then Sheila was holding him by the arms. “Wait a moment!” she cried half hys­ terically. “You can’t go like that, Mr. Garrett. Walt only one moment I" She darted Into her room, seized the towel, wrung It out In water, and. running back, snatched off his hat and began washing his forehead. A stain of blood came away. She looked at him almost as tenderly as a mother. "Now you can go, she said. “I know It is right; God be with you." Winton was outside and. running across the court. Tbe Chamber of Commerce was situated at the south­ east corner of tbe market square. He had seen it on the preceding day, a handsome block, one of the finest build­ ings in Malopo. It might take him ten minutes to reach It It waa question­ able whether he would arrive In Mme. He ran on, penting, choosing the shortest way, which fortunately did not lead past the Continental, where be would almost certainly have been rec­ ognized. On he raced, through the narrower streets, alive with fruit ped­ dlers add old-clothes men, who stopped and stared In wonder at tbe right of the wild-looking man with blood on his face and dusty clothing, and screamed in shrill abuse as he hurled their carts right and left and cleared a passage down the middle of the road. The market square lay before him, a tangle of transport wagons and oven. Winton dodged here and there, thread­ ing the mazes, panted across, and saw th® Chamber of Commerce building la front of him. He heard, men shouting behind him. A crowd was collecting, following him. H® looked like a madman, unless ho some rising in the outlying districts. A policeman tried to intercept him. Winton burled th® man aside, dashed Into tbe building, and ran with sure instinct up the cement steps to the second story.

The cooperation of the children was splendid. The older ones, es­ pecially deserve credit, for not only did they learn their own parts, but they helped teach the younger one*. It was amusing to note the concern and pride they took in the accom­ plishment of their proteges. It is wonderful to be able to depend up­ on your pupils to such an extent, for it creates a bond ot sympathy and comradeship which tends to secure unity of purpose and an agreeable attitude toward school work. It draws a school together and create* a home-like atmosphere. Our Christmas tree was loaded with presents. Our room was dec­ orated with Christmas festooning, bells, polnsettas, candles, a fire place and the usual amount of art work. Christmas borders decorated each blackboard.

And it’s a safe bet when the parade Hues up that Herb Baker, who has been dubbed the "Michigan Bearcat." is going to insist on a place right up next to the music. Wo don’t know Just why it is. but somehow Herb reminds us of a medi­ cine show that struck Pewamo when we were a kid. At the head of the aggregation was a long-winded cuss who used to swear by the hour he had a "cure all" for every ailment that ever assailed the human race. In fact, so convincing was that guy he actually sold six bottles to the vil­ lage dok and when the company mov­ ed out of town they left the druggist enough on hand to last until pro­ hibition came along and swept It off the shelves. For under the spell of the fakir's eloquence nobody had presence of mind to ask him what bis remedy contained — but everybody who bought a bottle knew that a couple big swigs put an entirely different light on the universe. Down to a real analysis. It contained 95 per cent alcohol, a dash of peppermint and enough coloring matter to do away with the muddy look. Staid old teetotalers, who hadn't smiled since the day Lee moved out Richmond, held down a front pew in the opera house every night and could always be counted upon to buy a couple bottles to start off the even- i ing program. Next morning they’d appear on the downtown corner look­ ing as If Moseby had made another raid and rightaway. the before breakfast sales would start up brisk. And that's the way with the poli­ tical nostrums Herb has been ped­ dling all over the Commonwealth the last few weeks. _ He lets out a whoop when he strikes a town, talks so fast that nobody else can get in a word edgewise and by the time he's on his way a lot of the native* are wondering it the millennium is as near at hand as Herb claims it will be if they’ll only put their faith and trust in him. Some day, somebody is going to have sense enough to ask him what kind of stuff he's really peddling and right after that the “bearcat” of the north country ain’t going to be half as ferocious, aa an ordinary house cat. » Moral: Government statistics re­ veal only one drink out of every one hundred Is pure these days.—Ionia County News.

' The American Peace Award brought forth 22,165 plans and many thousands of letters. Since many of the plans were the composite work of organizations, universities, etc., a single plan often represented the views of hundreds or thousands of individuals. The content of these plans is therefore an index of the true feeling and judgment of hundreds cf thousands of American citizens. These plans oom* from every group in American life. Some are obviously from lifelong students of history and international law. Some are from per­ sons who have studied little, but who have themselves seen and felt the horror of war—or who are oven now living out Its tragedy. Bat among them all are these dom­ inant currents: that, If war is hon­ estly to be prevented, there most bo a face-about on the part of the nations In their attitude toward it; that by some progressive agreement the man ufacture and purchase ot the muni­ tions of war must be limited or stop­ ped; that while no political mechan­ ism alone will Insure cooperation among the nations, there must bo some machinery of cooperation if the will to coop««te la to be made effec­ tive; that mutual counsel among the nations is the real hope for bringing about the disavowal of war by the open avowal of Its real causes and open discussion of them; and finally that there must be some means of defining, recording. Interpreting and developing the law of nations. Statement of Jary of Award The Jury of Award realizes that there Is no one approach to world peace, and that It Is necessary to rec­ ognize not merely political but also psychological and economic factors. The only possible pathway to internatl9nal agreement with reference to these complicated and difficult fac­ tors is through mutual counsel and cooperation which the plan selected contemplates. It is therefore the unanimous opinion of tho Jury that of the 22.145 plans submitted, Plan Number 1499 Is “the best practicable plan by which the United States may co-operate with other nations to achieve and preserve the peace of the ■world.” it Io tho unanimous hope of the Jury that the first fruit of tho mutual coun­ sel and cooperation among the nations which will result from tho adoption of the plan selected will bo a genoral prohibition of .the manufacture and ulo of all materials of war.

He came to the conclusion that this quality, which was so gross that Davis must have known it to be patent to everybody, had become so much a part of his nature that he could not help assuming it. But Winton was quite startled by the swiftness of the Judge's lapse into tho business man. “My very dear friend, Mr. De Witt’s offer of fraternity Is contingent upon your accepting the syndicate's co-opera­ tion,” he said. "You will want cap­ ital.

Ton gimme another chance. was a scene of uproar and riot, to which nobody paid any attention, and ths cause was the trad* gin sold by every storekeeper. It waa the current belief that the native could not be stopped from procuring liquor, and the syndicate winked at Kash’s activities. Winton' had looked on the matter dif­ ferently from the first. While deter­ mined to go slowly, the sight of Sea­ ton, lying dead drunk upon the floor,, roused him to furious anger. Burning with Indignation, he crossed the syn­ dicate claim and entered the store. It was one of the filthiest places that Winton had ever seen. The front was hung with second-hand clothing and gaudy-colored blankets with lions and heads of women woven patchily Into their surfaces. Canned foods, put up years previously and probably con­ demned, twists of tobacco, cheap sweets exposed to the Innumerable files, rolls of soiled calico in white and blue Ut­ tered the shelves, with beads and Imi­ tation jewelry which the natives took home to adorn the wives bought with the earnings of their apprenticeship. Behind the counter stood Kash, blink­ ing like an owl out of the darkness. "You've been selling liquor to my compound manager." cried Winton an­ grily. Kash flung up ids hands in horror at the suggestion. "No, salrt" he pro­ tested. “I sell no drink to any one,' Never, salr! I'm good merchant, hon­ est merchant 1’’ He had just finished speaking when, before Winton could reply, a trap-door In the floor opened, and there emerged the head of a yellow Hottentot, and a hand wiping the mouth in evident sat­ isfaction. As the man saw Winton his eyes rolled with fear. His head van­ ished and the trap-door fell with a clang. Winton was upon the spot in on In­ stant, pulled up the door, and saw be­ neath him a short flight of steps, lead­ ing Into a tunnel dimly lit by a small electric bulb. As he ran down he beard the Armenian screaming wildly behind him. He reached the passage just os the light went out. An electric bell be­ gan ringing. There was a scurrying of feet at the end of the passage, where a faint gleam of daylight allowed. When Winton reached it he saw a second flight of steps, and, ascending these, he found himself In the syndicate com­ pound, with a gang of half a dozen na­ tives flying before him In all directions. He went back, to find that the trap­ door had been closed and bolted be­ hind him. It was of hard oak, and re­ sisted all his furious effort* to force it. There was nothing to do but to go back, and Winton reached the second flight Just in time to prevent a second trap­ door at the bottom of the wooden gal­ lery being shut on him by one of the natives, who, seeing Winton, ran off as fast as he could go.x The ludicrousness of the incident might have tempered Winton's anger, but for the memory of Daddy Seaton, lying unconscious on the floor. He went back to Kash’s store. The little storekeeper was standing where be had been behind the counter, and still blink­ ing. • "I sell no drink!" he protested, fling­ ing out his hands. "If you beat me I have you arrested. Tltese men from the compound, salr, they get their drink from other mans.” “What do you have a trap-door for, Kash? > And why did you shut it on me?" ‘The trap-door lead to the cellar, salr, where I keep things cold. Those native mans make tunnels everywhere. I shut on you because I fear you beat "Your instinct was a sound one, Kash," said Winton grimly. ‘There are few things I should like better.” Ho leaned across the counter and shook his flat very deliberately under Kash’s nose. "Listen carefully." he Bald. "You’d better, because I don't speak twice. If ever I catch you selling liquor to any one from my claim, black or white, or yellow. I'll break every bone In your carcase." Disregarding the little trader's vol­ uble protests he went back to his t0 find S«»ton standing at the door of the cottage. The old man “* ” — recognized blm and came staggering toward him. “I’ll be going, Mr. Garrett," he said thickly. "Report work tomorrow. How much you going to pay me?” He stood swaying backward and for­ ward, smiling foolishly into Winton’s face.

We are glad to be able to say that there is nothing but the beat of feel­ ing between the people of Nashville and those -of the surrounding com­ munity, yet we have often wondered I if there could not be much benefit gained by the building up of more, social in tercourse between the vil-' lagers and the outsiders. We occasionally get together in a way, such as annual gatherings of the fraternal orders to which many ot we farmers belong, and we have such splendid times on these occa­ sions that it convinces us that there should be more of such gatherings, only they should take in everybody, instead of just thoae who belong to the fraternal orders. Why not organize a sort of communlty club, to be composed of farmers and townspeople alike, and have monthly or semi-monthly meet­ ings during the year, and especially during the winter months? It would not mean a hardship to anybody. Let each family bring potluck for supper, then spend the evening in social in­ tercourse, games, dancing, or such entertainment as should be decided upon by a duly appointed committee. We believe such an evening occasion­ ally would give all of us an opportun­ ity to get better acquainted, and much good might come of It to the community. A least we believe it would be well worth trying out, and we should like to see a preliminary meeting called in an effort to find out how many people would be interested in such an organization. < Harry Ma«on The Woman's Missionary society of the Evangelical church will meet next Wednesday.

With the thermometer resting at 32, with no wind, the damp now is ■ticking right where it falls, covering roofs, trees; shrubbery, until all outof-doors Is wonderfully beautiful. About six inches has already fallen, with evident promise of plenty mow, and this 1* the first time this winter three has been more than two Inches on the level. Certainly, this is the kind of a snowfall all Michigan peo­ ple enjoy, and for the benefit of our Florida and California readers we want to say that they can't be enjoy­ ing any weather they have any more than we are enjoying this first real snow of the winter. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest men who ever lived, was born at Boston January 17, 1706. .He died in Philadelphia in 1790. He became a printer in his boyhood, serving under his brother, publisher of the New England Courant. When 17 he weht to Philadelphia, where he attracted the notloe of Sir William Keith, then governor of Pennsylvania, who sent him to England to purchase a printing outfit, then left him in the lurch. Franklin worked at his trade in England for eighteen months, then returned to Philadelphia, where he later organized a com­ pany and started a printing office, later publishing a newspaper. , tn 1732 he started the publication of Poor Richard's Almanac, which continued to be published until 1757, when Franklin was sent to England as an agent of the province. His reputation was now .such at home and abroad that he was appointed agent of the provinces of Massachusetts. Maryland and Georgia. Ox­ ford and Edinborough conferred on him their highest academ­ ical degrees for his electrical researches, and the Royal society elected him to fellowship. He returned to America in 1762. but In 1764 was again appointed agent and pent to England with a remonstrance against the proposition of taxing the col­ onies. He opposed the stamp act, and in 1774 presented to ths king the petition of the first American congress. On his return he was elected a member of congress, and exerted all hl* in­ fluence in favor of the Declaration of Independence. In 1776 he was sent to France as commissioner plenipotentiary, to ob­ tain supplies from that court. After the surrender of Burgoyne he concluded with France the first treaty of the new states with a foreign power, and on his return was named one of the commissioners for negotiating a treaty of peace with England. On his return to America he was made governor of Pennsyl­ vania and served as a delegate to the constitutional convention of 1787 and Approved the constitution then adopted. He was a fl prolific writer on political, financial, economic, scientific and anti-slavery topics, and was regarded as one of the foremost men of the early-days of our country. WINANS-MARSHALL. Rov.

Inevita­ bly the proportions between the sev­ eral compartments will yary accord­ ing to circumstances. • But three basic factors—giving, saving and spending, enter into the’ budget of eack and every one. In preparing a budget, estimate the orobable income from all sources for the year. To get the monthly average, divide the total by 12. Then allow for variation of outlay in- ex­ ceptional months which Include such items as insurance, taxes, interest, etc. In estimating the outgo, divide the income into three compartments. Giving, saving and spending. . Giving. First of all, fix a minimum proportion, ordinarily at least a. tenth. Toward the close of tho year this may be supplemented by thanks offerings: The Christmas season is a good time to do this. Saving will be stimulated by har­ ing a savings account in the bank, by carrying Insurance, or by Joining a building and loan association, ate. Something should be laid by regu­ larly every month—ordinarily at least 10 per cent. Spending should be carefully regu­ lated. Roughly estimated, a normal, allowance calls for the following di­ vision: Food, 20 per cent; clothing. 20 per cent; shelter, 20 per cent; op­ erating. equipment, children, etc., 10 per cent; advancement. 10 per cent. Rules for contest: 1. —All budgets must be in the hands of the budget committee in each building on or before February 7. Winner* will be announced aw soon thereafter as possible. 2. —All budgets must be divided into months. 3. —'Budgets must be in ink or type-written and on one side of the paper 4. —No contestant s name must ap­ pear on these budgets. 5. —Numbers will be assigned to each contestant by the committees.

Telegraphs in Uganda are not al­ ways reliable, as the natives covet and often cut down the copper wire for making Into bracelets and neck­ laces. ■ We do believe, however, that in some ways tho railroads could make a vast Improvement in their meth­ od*, to their own benefit end that of the public. We have in mind a* one Instance the Last change of time made bn the Grand ‘Raplde diviaion of the Michlgaa Central. A train which for many years had made Nashville at five o'clock* in the morslng, west-bound. hour earlier. A similar change was made, naturally, at ail the other towns between Jackson and Grand Rapids. The new time card went in­ to effect on Sunday morning. There had been no previous announcement of a change in time, consequently for several mornings many Nashville people went to the station to take this early train, only to find that the train had. left before they had arriv­ ed at the station. The News run* every week in its advertising columns, free of expense to the railroads, as do many other newspapers in the state, a local time card of all trains. This time card la not paid for by. tho railroads, but is printed in The New* for the benefit of Its readers. The New* would have been glad to have made the announcement Ln its issue of the previous week of the proposed change of time, and so world every news­ paper along the line. The announce­ ment would not have coat the Michi­ gan Central anything except a let­ ter of notification. The Michigan Central management knew of the proposed change of time early enough so tho announcement could havo been made. Common business courtesy to its patrons demands that such notice should have been given. Thp railroad companies demand that trainmen shall show passengers ev­ ery possible courtesy, but the man­ agement is overlooking a very reas­ onable courtesy to its patrons in mak­ ing changes of time without giving its patrons an opportunity of know­ ing anything about it As a matter of fact, the railroads could well afford to pay the news­ papers along their lines for print­ ing local time cards in every issue. They could well afford to pay the newspapers to make advance an-* □ouncements of marked changes in time cards. But when the newspa­ pers are willing and ready, in the Interest -of their readers, to work with the railroads in extending such a necessary courtesy to the rail­ roads* customers, we submit that it is certainly short-sightedness on the part of the railroad management, if not a rank discourtesy, to withhold such information from the public, spon whom the railroads depend for their 1)0810688 existence. 25% Discount oh Wool Dress Goods, Silks, Wool Hosiery, Winter Underwear, Corsets.

Grand Rapids, Jan. 14.—Comment­ ing ou the sensational victory secur­ ed by Michigan shipper* when the Interstate Commerce Commission re­ cently l&ued an order partly abolish­ ing and materially modifying the "zoning" system, which increased freight rates in Michigan, E. L. Ew­ ing, traffic counsel who ha* bad charge of the fight to secure this rate reform, declared that the deci­ sion would mean a net saving of about $1,500,000 annually to our shippers and that at least $500,000 of this amount would represent the sav­ ing to farmer* and farmers* organi­ zation* on outgoing and incoming freight. Since 1917, the lower peninsula of Michigan has been divided into four sones, A. B. C. and D for freight rate making purposes. For Zone A. south of a line from Detroit to Niles, freight rates were on the same level a* in Indiana and Ohio.- In Zone B, the territory north to a line across Michigan from Muskegon through Bay City, freight rates were consider­ ably higher than for equal distance* in Zone A., next farther south. In Zonas C and D, which are farther north, further "zone rate” in­ creases were levied. This brought about a series of step-ladder freight rates which resulted in a great hardship to Michigan shippers. In addition to the burden of extra freight charges, the zone system placed them at considerable ot a dis­ advantage in competition with ship­ per* of similar products in neighbor­ ing state*, or even neighboring zone*. Help* 32 Counties. The recent decision, while not all that wa* asked for, still comes as a happy reward to those that have fought for it so long. The inter­ state Commerce Commission has or­ dered railroads in Michigan on or about March 21, 1924, to stop col­ lecting extra freight tolls in the great middle section of Michigan, embracing 32 counties wholly or in part, and classified by the railroad* an Zone B. for rate making purposes. Zone B has been abolished and farm­ er shippers in those counties will en­ joy the same rales as their brethren in Indiana and Ohio for shipments made equal distance*. The Zone system still stand*, but is greatly modified. Zone B. 1* gone. Zones C and D. the territory lying north ot a line from Muskegon to Bay Ci tv, tjtlll remain, but the zone charges have been greatly reduced.

"She's gone to the races," she whispered. Winton left the hotel. He knew that he had made a fool of himself for the second time. The story of his infatu­ ation would be ail over Malopo. He bad not known that there wm any racing that day. He had noticed nothing, absorbed as he wm with Ma one thought. But now he saw that a procession of carta and wagons, horse men and pedestrians, with here and there a smart dog-cart, was making its way toward the south side of the town. Winton tramped along in their wake, until Malopo was left behind, and be saw the rare course in front of him, crowded with spectators. Vehicles of every kind were drawn up about it, and as he approached he saw tbe spectators clearing from the traek. Then he perceived the horses galloping round the ellipse. He worked his way through the mob to the grandstand, a roughly-construct­ ed hodgepodge of crude uprights and seats, paid bls admission fee, and be­ gan to search it systematically for Sheila. She was not there; be assured himself of that after a few minutes of careful scrutiny. There must have been a thousand persons present, and the general disorder upon the course made his Investigation difficult: but | he was resolved to find her. He began to make his way around die barriers, scrutinizing the occupants of tbe vehicles. If Sheila was at the races, some man had taken, her, prob­ ably in a carriage.

Little Boy, nine to four I Here y’are, mister I" He shook himself free, growing more and more somber and resolute as tbe behavior of the mob became more un­ restrained, and the sickness in his heart grew os he thought of Sheila there. How could the girl find pleasure in such a place? And who was her com­ panion? He looked at the faces of the women seated in the carriages, and for the first time he was conscious of a ter­ rible fear. He knew next to nothing of Sheila. Suppose be had been mis­ taken and had read in her what was not there—and denied to himself the existence of qualities that were evident to any less Infatuated than himself! He recalled the veiled warnings of Van Beer and Ned. He had forced himself upon the. girl, and, if he had mistaken her nature and character, how could he blame her? * ' ■ At last he found her in the middle afternoon. She was seated in a smart dog-cart beside De Witt. Re was watching the race and shouting vociferously as he waved ids card. His animation owed a good deal to the empty bottles of champagne at his feet Sheila was listening to him, and laughing.

M. C. A. buildings were completed in 1923. and campaigns were had for $6,934.­ 342 more, and there Is $5,050,000 worth now under construction. The university students in Lima, Peru, spend their evening teaching the working men reading and arith­ metic and history and writing. Thrift promotion was begun by the Y M. C. A. at Dayton In 1894, where one man received so much benefit that Jie gave $15.00 to their building campaign, that was for their first building; for the second he gave $1500. and for their present build­ ing tbe same man gave $1500. Get your budget books at the banks. The county papers have been most useful in helping to get the Thrift campaign started throughout the county. Every pupil in the sixth grade and above is entitled to com­ pete for the prizes. See the papers of the last two weeks for the details and rules.

Penfold, in Maple Grove. Abcut one hundred were present. The air was cold and crisp, and that, together with the pleasure of enjoy­ ing an old-fashioned sleigh ride, put everybody in a Jolly mood. The presents the young couple received were many and varied, ranging all the way from a tiny baby doll to articles of value, and also of dan­ ger, as a rolling pin and broom handle were in evidence. It took the happy couple one hour to tear the wrappings from the many beau­ tiful and useful presents contributed by their many friends, and when the task was through, everything manu­ factured in the U. S. was on the ta­ ble. Then came music and a little fortune telling and the gentlemen proceeded to draw numbers for la­ dy partners for supper.

MORE FARMERS NEED A NEAT LETTER HEAD. "A neat, well-worded letter head is the first kind of advertisers for the progressive farmer. The name of the farm is the big feature of the I well-planned letter head, the product is second, and the farmer’s name third in importance. A short, snap­ py. easily remembered slogan often adds to the force of this letter ad­ vertisement." says -A. W. Hopkins of the Wisconsin College of Agricul­ ture. Keep the letter head simple and dignified. Do not crowd too much on It. Make every word count. An illustration, if well done, adds to the attractiveness. The paper should be of good quality. Farm letterheads are not a luxury —they are a business necessity. FAREWELL PARTI’ FOR MLSS LOW HEVER.1NUK. NUMBER 27 ED. WOODARD WINS HIGH RANK SUBSCRIPTION NOTICE. Ed.

Who gets most of it? Enlightened business today admits the right of the public to ask such questions. Here we answer them, with reference to our business. Too often the Idea exists that the plumber makes money "hand-over-fist". We are not ashamed of a desire to make money; but we are concerned in showing that we make no more than very ordinary profits out of a job of plumbing. In advance of your paying the bill, 65 cents has been spent by the plumber to buy materials and fixtures for the job. and to pay for the labor for installing same. Twenty-five cents on the same dollar goes for store rent; for in­ surance and taxes; for light, heat, telephone, for bookkeeping and collection expenses; for maintenance of repair service, truck, tools and mechanical equipment, and the "overhead" expenses common to business of whatever kind. The remaining TEN CENTS represents the plumber’s NET PROFIT tn each dollar—provided that NOTHING VNLUCKY HAPPENS. To enjoy the comforts and con­ venience of modern sanitary plumbing, surely you are content that your townsman, the plumb­ er, should have ten cents leeway out of your dollar to cover his profits and losses. Chas. J. Betts Dod rot the cold weather anyway. We didn't move down here from Minnesota to get into more of it. and we are going to resign our posi­ tion of wekther prophet, right here, too. So many families of the Eastern Star lodge went to Vermontville to the “doings" of the lodge there, Fri­ day night that the father-sons’ pro­ gram at the South school was badlyhandicapped as many of the absent ones had important numbers, but the chiklran certainly did themselves credit in their part of the entertain­ ment, and it was highly satisfactory, to all, unless possibly those who had worked so hard to get It up. About March 24, the mothers and daughters will have the floor, when we hope they can have -an open date to en­ joy a full house with an unbroken program. Grandma Keith passed away peace­ fully from the cares of this life to a home beyond, Saturday nlgh’t, at the home of her granddaughter, MrsBert Dailey, southwest of Bellev&e.

The Edwin Tyler who suffered the stroke was not our Edwin, but an uncle, in Vermontville. Mrs. Leightner had a severe hemorrhage from the nose Saturday afternoon, which wasn’t stopped en­ tirely until Sunday, but feels that in it.she has escaped a much more ser­ ious trouble.

A long hard winter had no terrors for us. A few days after we heard noise* out there that struck spookish visions to our heart. It didn't seem possible for anything to get in from the outside, so it must be the ghost of the pig. but the wife had the nerve to look, and, well, a neighbor's dog had forced the door and you can guess the rest. That dog was of pre-his­ toric size, and. as gaunt and hungry as a Rip Van Winkle. Fortunately everything was frozen solid, but the dog didn’t know for sure, so tried every container and piece of meat, and now, unless we can get a whole month clipped out of the winter, our supply is not going to hold out. 1 am now watching that owner and when he goes to pay the tax on that dog, I will surely get the money or the county is going to have a law­ suit on its hands—it's a clear case, dead easy.

The day the Sea Wind was aban­ doned, Jimmy Crocker discovered and adopted her. Jimmy was the assistant keeper of Easterly light He was tallIsh, sea-browned and young, with a ■tern, far-away look in his gray eyes that came from dreaming of the time when be would step before the inspec­ tor at Boston and would receive his coveted master’s license. He had been ready to take out his master-papers; was In Boston, when he had been run down by a carelessly driven auto. The lameness had never gone, although) the accident had been nearly three years ago. Old Doe Hanes had said It might never go. He had taken the lighthouse job be­ cause it was where he could watch the ships, and because the doctor had pro­ hibited hard work for a while. Then, too, it was away from people and pity —pity that he dreaded more than any­ thing. He wanted to be alone. That was why he adopted the Sea Wind. The villagers smiled tolerantly at this queer young man who preferred his own company to that of the men In the village. He got the name of being a bit "queer.” Even the sweet­ est smiles and the gayest chatter of the girls did not Interest him. Then Mona Clarke came along. Mona Clarke was a slender little flapper, with short black curls and the features of a saint; a saint with cherry red lips, flaming cheeks end sparkling black eyes. • “Her head's like a ship in ballast,” old Captain Gates would chuckle to his cronies; ‘It’s emptyI” Yet when Jimmy Crocker first saw Mona Clarke his heart turned com­ pletely over. In a very short time the whole vil­ lage had it that Mona Clarke was making a fool of that good looking young Ilghtkeeper at Easterly point. No one could understand it, and least of all did Jimmy himself. He shud­ dered at her actions and her paint, yet he was fascinated; admitted be loved her. Then the tragedy came. One morn­ ing Mona Clarke was found on the beach, a bruised and torn little heap. She had dared the "Needles’ once too often, and had been caught in the surf that broke against those jagged rocks. Her family took her away In search of the best doctors, but Ln spite of their care three months later the ver­ dict was "Lame for life." Jimmy Crocker was almost wild. He had heard no word from her and, thinking she had forgotten him, tried to forget her. He studied all the books on navigation he could find. His lameness was slowly disappearing, and the day came when he left the light for Boston, and the examination that would give him his master’s papers. Through Capt’n Zed. the taciturn old man who bad shared the lightkeep­ er's duties with Jimmy, the village bearj that he had a coastwise freight­ er. Sometimes the steamer would pass by the point Captain Zed would be on the highest, barest dune then, waving a turkey red table cloth, and watching through the glass for a re­ turn flutter of red. A year ran along and summer came ■gain. To the surprise of the mu?b Interested villagers, the old Sea Wind showed signs of life. She was patched and painted till she looked almost fit for sea again. Then one day a sign appeared at the foot of the dock, and the mystery was cleared. The Sea Wind was renewing her youth as a place for teas and luncheons, and the manager was a slim, dark-eyed girl who walked with a limp, and who had the face of a saint. The Sea Wind was an Instant suecess. The red tables on the deck be­ neath the striped awning were always filled. Mona’s old crowd came at first prepared to be amused at her latest whim, but they were, Instead, respect­ ful an<? puzzled. She was so changed. It was to the fail when Jimmy Crocker came to visit Captain Zed for a few days.* As he rounded the point, Jimmy saw the changed Sea Wind. He walked about half way down the wharf and then stopped, but after a Is Our First and Greatest Alm j^Y STEADILY INCREASING our stock of drugs and sundries with the best lines that are on the market today, we believe that we an in a position to render you a service second to none.

TOWNSEND THE PENSLAR STORE WHAT SUPERPOWER IS The electric Industry in the Unit­ ed states has had a remarkable growth in every item of importance the past year. Greatly increased use of electrical power in industries and a wider application of electrici­ ty in the home is the cause. Within the last few months the country has begun to hear of “Su­ perpower." It is proposed that we burn coal in great central power sta­ tions, at the mouth of the mine it­ self, thus saving useless waste in transportation, useless loss in valu­ able by-products that amount to many million dollars annually, and useless small-scale conversion Into power in thousands of furnaces that now waste 80 per cent of the chemi­ cal energy in coal as heat. It is pro­ posed also, that we really begin to j tap our vast resources of water power—now less than ten per cent developed—hitching them into the great systems fed by burning coal. It is proposed to generate power at its sources and ship it qlong trans­ mission lines, at new voltages which engineers are beginning to command, to interlock the country in a finelywoven copper net. That is Super­ power. With electric power generated by a waterfall in Oregon you can light a reading lamp today in Yuma, Ari­ zona. There Is a great electric horseshoe in Michigan that llhks ten of the largest cities in the state; there is a Superpower project under way In eastern section of Ohio; there is a power trunk line of nine hun­ dred miles across the Appalachians that links North Carolina. South Carolina, Alabama. Tennessee, and Georgia. A superpower system already ex­ ists in the Northwest, stretching 1000 miles east and west with 5,000 miles of transmission lines and a combined capacity of 500,000'horse power. In California superpower has for some time been a reality. Every step in this direction means increased advantages for consumers. Public Pays for Tax-Exempts. “Money tied up in federal and tax­ exempt securities is Increasing the expense to industrial enterprises of selling securities in blocks.- These enterprises must pay excessive rates of interest to equal the 4 1-2 per cent, on tax-exempt federal bonds and in addition taxes which private industry must ,pay," says Franklin T. Griffith, President Portland Rail­ road Light A Power Co. This is probably due to the fact the usual talk about tax reduction is confined to glittering generalities which will not embarrass a political candidate or public official with hard cold facts which must be substanti­ ated. Secretary Mellon has given the people the figures from which they can draw their own conclusions. In­ stead of sidestepping the issue. President Coolidge is outspoken in favor of the Mellon plan. This has been a severe blow to po­ litical leaders who would have dodged the issue and delayed action until after the coming election. With a definite program for tax reduction before them and with widespread approval of the plan be­ ing expressed from every section of the country, it is going to be hard for our representatives in Congress to justify delayed action which will cost the taxpayers of this nation hundreds of millions of dollars. If tax reduction is actually pushed to final consideration and passage. It will be through the triumph of en­ lightened public opinion over the preference of IndMduaPmembers of Cnneress to play personal politics at public expense. Our country will have to learn the lesson once more that labor and pro­ ductive industry are the foundation of prosperity and our boys and>glrls must be made to realise that it is not undignified to toll with one's, hands.

Insurance is the balance-wheel of our industrial and commercial life, says P. F. Garnett of San Francisco. Insurance companies are guardians of a fund, estimated at 811,318,000,­ 00, held to Indemnify policy holders against every known kind of loss Statistics indicate that this money is collected from 75,000,000 persons and that claims arise eajh year re­ quiring loss payments on about onetenth, or 7,500,000 policies. Practically all great industrial and commercial enterprises are financed to an appreciable degree from funds held by Insurance com­ panies. The 4,000 insurance com­ panies operating in this country own approximately 12 per cent of all railroad capitalization, and about 15 per cent of the great public utili­ ties, such as gas and water works, electric light and power plants, traction and trolley lines, telephone and telegraph.

He knew that jealousy bad the least share in his emotions; rather it was the sense that death alone could justify the girl's outrage against her better nature. He did not know what he was "going to do. Had he had a revolver he would probably , have fired automatically at De Witt, and awakened to find him dead at his feet. As it was, the sit­ uation was relaxed in Just such a com­ monplace way as averts so many trag­ edies. De Witt recognized him and nodded with surly amicability. Sheila smiled anxiously. “That was a goud run," called De Witt. “Miss Sheila and 1 have hooked In fifty pounds on Little Boy." Winton did not answer him, but fixed his eyes on Sheila's face, lie knew now that his dreams had been a de­ lusion, that the girl was not to blame; that she was a worthless woman who had become nothing to him. He met her look gravely, and then, through the smiling uinsk, he seemed to penetrate to the girl’s tortured soul. He read the hopelessness, the shame beneath .lier smile. “Why are you here?’’ be asked. De Witt, who was half drunk, turned to him in maudlin remonstrance. "I tell you why she’s here,” he hlccuiM-d. "Because she likes me. See? Likes me and don't care about you— eh, Sheila V He placed his arm about her, and the girl, shrinking in his grasp, yet did uot seem tu resent Hie familiarity. “Shelia,” said Winton, “If you came here out of affection for that man, Heaven knows it’s no business ot mine. I’ll go away. But If you came here becatise he threatened you by means of the power he has over your father. Heaven help him’” Do Witt leaned forward and clutched the whip. "You go to the devil!” he roared. “Sheila. 1 asked you why you are here,’’ Mid Winton with patient obstinacy. The girl Mulled mirthlessly. "I am here with a gentleman, Mr. Garrett," she answered. “Surely that is answer enough. Do I look as If I had been dragged here against mj will?' Her lips quivered, but she was com­ posed enough. “Nd,” answered Win­ ton. And there was nothing more to say. A few of those about the carriage were beginning to look at the trio cu­ riously. Then the start of a race drew away their attention, and the course was a pandemonium ot yelling spec­ tators as the horses ran by. Winton turned and began to make his way homeward. He had been on the point of making a fool of himself for the third time that day; but his tragedy had turned Into a sordid drama. He felt that he did not want to see Shelia again. He took a circuitous road back to Malopo. It was nearly sunset when he arrived. He meant to go to the claim, but somehow an Impulse made him linger in the town long after the stream of vehicles with their shouting occupants bad returned from the race­ track. He watched the scene bitterly, the riotous groups that pervaded the mar­ ket square, gathered about the stoeps of the hotels and filling every saloon. He hated MalojM) more bitterly than he could have thought possible. Some­ how It seemed like a concrete enemy, a soulless monster that ground men, body and soul, as It had ground Shelia. And in spite of himself the memory of the girl came back to him. and with It a great terror. A sense of danger to her set his feet along the mean street that led to the xordld brick bouses. Shelia, alone In Malopo, and De Witt, hot after hl* prey! Shelia, helpless! It was growing dark as suddenly as darkness falls in the low latitudes. Winton hastened until be saw the squalid court before him, and the pump in the center. There was a light Ln the girl’s room, and the dog-cart was drawn up at her door—no, not the dog­ cart. but a Cape cart, with a pair of horses, -------such——as—U used for WKVWXW*. traveling. -----------And In It at Dt Witt, unld > pU. «< small pieces of baggage. As Winton drew near he saw Sheila standing in the doorway. She wore her hat and a traveling cloak. DeWitt bent down and spoke to her; bo gavo hoc his hand, and, hesitantly, the girl went forward. Then Winton sprang out of the *h*dows between them. And there wu no need to ask any questions. Do Witt leaped to the ground; but before the men came to the grapjUe Sheila had caught with eager hands at Winton's upraised arm. “Stop I” she cried. “For my sake, stop!

YOU NEED IlH brought the lash down across bls face. Blood spurted at the blow* The horses, taking fright at the sound, gal­ loped away along the road Into Malopo. The fight was short, but it went furi­ ously. Cursing like a madman, De Witt leaped to his feet and tried to wrest the whip from Winton’s hand. Winton cut him across the face again, and then brought the stock down on De Witt's head. But the man was gamer than in the coach; perhaps he saw that defeat meant the eud of his hopes of winning Shelia, who stood by, wringing her hands frantically, and pleading piteously, now with one man and now with the other. At last De Witt went down to stay. Winton dropped the whip at his feet. “You can consider that on Miss Sea­ ton’s account," be said. “Our reckon­ ing will come later. You can go." Du Witt, disheveled and bleeding, staggered up. "I’ve got something to tell you," be whispered hoarsely, and the eagerness of his purpose seemed for the moment to thrust away his rage. “I won’t hear you," shouted Winton, taking up the whip again. “One word and I'll thrash you like the hound yon are. And if ever you dare come to this bouse again, or to Miss Seaton—’’ De Witt shrank back. “You think there's no law In Malopo, maybe!” he muttered. “You'll pay for this—in jail, you swine!" But as Winton stepped toward him he made oft along the road. And Win­ ton let the whip fall from his hand. It was his second assault that day— and it had brought him no nearer Sheila. But be had saved her. She had sunk, fainting, upon the ground. Win von bent over her and raised her. “Sheila!” he cried, and, yielding to his overpowering Impulse, be kissed her on the lips.

Such weather lowers the efficiency of steam-driven machinery, imposes severe hardships on men, and makes necessary abnormal expenditures for fuel, wages and special equipment. To vanquish these obstacles—to accept and deliver freight and passengers in the teeth of a midwinter blizzard, when necessary —is an annual battle for each of Michigan’s 24 steam Railroads. Even in a comparatively open winter, the Railroads must always be equipped and ready. On certain northern runs,- a snow plow precedes every train throughout the winter, regardless of weather. Winter railroading in Michigan is seldom possible at a profit. Often it can be accomplished only by large fiu adal loss. Yet, despite the handicaps of climate, the cars move, and Michigan continues warm, well fed and prosperous. Do you appreciate the foresight, determination and fortitude which, year in and year out, make Railroad transportation so sound a reliance. The Railroads will be pleased and helped to know that you do.

We made our own sugar from maple syrup." "Yes. and 1 do yet." broke in Mr. Hall. "It didn’t cost us much to live, and farmers in those days lived as well as they do now.” resumed Mrs. Hall. "We had potatoes and bacon and buckwheat cakes for breakfast. We never heard of breakfast foods then." She laughed. "Those were the days when a man went to the mill on horse-back with a bag of wheat on one end of a pole and a stone on the other end to balance it." Mr. Hall winked. "The old mossbacks didn’t know enough to put half the wheat on either end of the pole.” Hud Logging Bees, The big occupation of husbands then was to clear the land and burn brush. They used to have logging bees when all the neighbors would como and help clear one man’s land, then they would do the same for another. Game abounded. Mr. Hall liked to hunt and trap above every­ thing else. His father, Horatio Hall, came to Michigan In 1836 when there was no railroad built in the state. He traveled by stagecoach from Detroit to Homer, that is. his trunk traveled and he walked along side with others who were glad enough to pay full fare for having their luggage hauled. The roads were so bad that freqquently the stagecoach had to be pried out of the mud. Mrs. Hall was 79, Novem- ber 8, and Mr. Hall 85 September 2. They are well and do much work at their home, just east of Bellevue. Mr. Hall has bIx acres of ground, which be works in summer. He keeps a cow and chickens. He is busy a good part of the day. What recreation they had in early days was in the few parties and "bees” and dances. And folks came to the parties early, Mrs. Hall says, "by early candle light,” as they called it. And now, 63 years after, the candle of her married life U burning as brightly as it did then It’s a happy, old-fashioned home tbe Halls have. Mr. Hall has a word to young married people now, who often times can’t make a living ou "cleared" land, not speaking of having to clear it themselves. "It's not knowing how to save,” he says, "that’s what’s keeping people poor." —Charlotte Republican.

STOLEN CAR STRANDED, “MORGAN’S RAIDERS" ADANDONED IN HIGHWAY ARE AGAIN ON RAMPAGE J. F. Wilson, who lives on the Young farm, at Scipio, was somewnat astonished Friday mprnlng to see an abandoned Ford coupe stand­ ing in the highway near his farm. He got out his team aqd hauled the car Into his barn, then notified Depu­ ty Sheriff Bilderbeck of Vermont­ ville, who soon ascertained that the car had been stolen from near the union station at Grand Rapids the day before. It had been driven as far as the Scipio, where it stalled and the thieves had abandoned it and made their escape. Bilderbeck went out after the car, but Wilson refused to allow it to be taken away until he was paid for his care of the car, which Bilderbeck was not pre­ pared to do. Saturday, however, the Citizens' Auto Insurance company called up Fred Fisher from Grand Rapids and authorized him to go out and get the car, pay the charges, bring in the car and fix it up ready for road service, which ho did, and on Sunday the owner, a man named Nixon, came down from Grand Rapids and drove the car back home. Waite Morgan of Charlotte Is a. mighty rabbit hunter, but you know there are times when the festlvo rabbit takes a notion to "hole up,’* in which case they are hard to cor­ ral unless you have one of tboso reptiles commonly known as a fer­ ret, or more commonly, a "bug”. Mor­ gan didn't happen to have a ferret, but he knew a man who did. Neither did Morgan have a air, but he had friends who did, so he made a prac­ tice of taking along on his huntinc parties those fellows who had cars they were willing to drive. Then Morgan would steer them to the home of Perry Wells, north ot Vermontville, where lived a ferret that could be borrowed. Thusly would the "raiders” go equipped to go home with provender for the lard­ er. There were at least three such raids made on the lair of the festive bunny, and each one productive ot satisfactory results. All this happened along back in the month of January, when It was not a crime to have rabbits in pos­ session, but the use of a ferret to procure them was banned.

It was one of the beet horses In Malopo. and the sight of It between the shafts of Eash’s cart had created a good deal of feeling against tho Armenian. . Sam began to slip on tho bridle hastily, while Winton, snatching the saddle from him, adjusted It and began to pull In the girth. TH catch him!" said Sam. Winton would at any other time have been astonished at the transformation In the man. The negro who had run yelling from the Chronicle office on the day before now seemed devoid of fear. “You get help for Ned Burns," said Winton, and mounted. The horse needed no urging. It bad been kept for days together In Kash’s stable. Its only exercise the pulling of the storekeeper’s cart on the slow rounds of Malopo. The sense of a rider brought back the memories of the old days. It daslted off In pursuit of Van Vorst as If Winton’s mind com­ municated to Its own the urgency of capture. Winton stuck to his seat doggedly and tried to keep his senses. The blow had reopened his old wound, and the blood was pouring Imo his eyes In a blinding torrent. But he concentrated all bls will upon the chase. Unless he could regain the diamond the syndicate would oust him from bls control of the Big Malopo, and make him the Jest of the community which he bad come to hate And somehow he felt that he was, In an unknown way, fighting for Sheila as well as for his own. Van Vorst came Into sight, a little speck far out upon the plains. He had left the road and was striking across the desert In the direction of the native territories, ten miles away. Malopo was a protectorate, the crim­ inal law of the colony ran there. In the tribal lands, however, Van Vorst could laugh at pursuit until he found his opportunity to slip across the bor­ der into the Transvaal or Damaraland. Winton knew this. The horse, sight­ ing the fugitive, threw all Its efforts Into the chase and began to gain swift­ ly. It waa an eery ride across the ■and under the moonlight Winton, sick from the chloroform and the blow, knew that be could not last long, but how he was going to return he did nffl stop to think. He felt In one of the holsters and found a revolver there. And, holding the weapon In his hand, he waited grimly while his horse over­ hauled the other. They had raced past an outlying farm, which showed In the distance, the poplars standing up like ghostly senti­ nels across the fiat Now nothing was visible anywhere except the desert. Malopo was far behind. Winton gained steadily. He could distinguish that Van Vorst turned to watch him, and the action slowed his horse for a few mo­ ments. Winton gained more and more. Now only two hundred yards separated tho fugitive and the pursuer. . When they were a hundred paces apart Van Vorst swung round In the saddle and fired. The bullet flew Into the sand twelve paces away. Now only fifty paces separated them. Van Vorst pulled In suddenly and fired once more. He had only two more shots, and there would be no time to reload. Pluton calculated that; but the ball whistled uncomfortably dose. and this time he answered twice,'■without effect Van Vorst sat on his beast like a statue, aiming carefully at Winton’s body. Winton spurred bls horse, mean­ ing to ride him down. At the same time he half swung himself out of the saddle, crouching against the animal’s neck so as to avoid presenting a mark. Van Vorst fired his fifth shot It would have killed Winton; it struck the saddle fairly and lodged under the tough pigskin. Winton was now al­ most upon him, his own revolver in his hand. "Hands up r* he cried. He knew nothing of South African tricks of marksmanship, or ths train­ ing of native mounts. For an Instant he saw Van Vorst sitting on his horse, motionless; at the next the horse had curveted to one side, and Winton’s out­ stretched hand caught at nothing.

Then you back that with free engineering on how to best use this power, and how to light our work for safety and good production. “And in the school—where the eyes of our children are busy all day, when light is needed to help them see and learn, you provide it—and give to our school board free help in havi-the right light in the right place. “Again—these days, we get a lot of our pleasure from the movies. I can’t help but feel grateful to Electricity for making these movies possible — sending the powerful light that makes the pictures on the screen and takes us all over the world, gives us big plays and makes us laugh at Charlie Chaplin. “So it is at home—that the service makes a happier home by doing so much of the housework that used to be so hard, and the light makes evenings more cheerful , “That’s why I know that it is good to live in a Con­ sumers Power town." •. nsumers Power ___, COMPANY e________ when be was stronger he would have te ni.w hi. ... h.-v »a xr.iAAA hi. tua bl, wy back to Malopo b/ hl, horsws tracks.

A. C. Last Week. Nearly smothered a few years ago by affiliating with the Michigan Preas and Printers Federation. In which organisation was embraced big city job printing establishments and metropolitan newspapers of Michi­ gan, the Michigan Press association is rapidly coming back to its old-time strength and Influence In the Wolverine state. The annual meeting, held at East Lansing Thursday, Friday and Sat­ urday of last week, was attended by over a hundred of the live newspa­ per publishers of the state and ev­ ery session was filled with papars, talks and discussions of matters vitally interesting and Important to 4he weekly newspapers of the state. Mingled with the business sessions of the association were various events which added greatly to the pleasure of those in attendance. Following the Thursday afternoon business session the editorial party was conducted through the new Home Economics building, the finest of its kind in the world and really an Innovation in its line. It is a beautiful structure, adding greatly to the appearance of the wonderful campus, and is still more beautiful of interior. The arrangements ' are practically perfect and the building will stand as a monument to the present members of' the State Board of Agriculture, who have been large­ ly responsible for the completeness of the plans and arrangements. Thursday evening a splendid ban­ quet was served to the visiting pencil pushers in the large banquet hall of th* Woman’s building, with Secre­ tary Halladay of M. A. C. presiding as toastmaster. The address of the evening was made by Hon. Wm. W. Potter, chalrmal of the Public Utili­ ties commission, a native of Maple Grove township, and whose home has been in Barry county practically all of his life. Mr. Potter’s subject was "Michigan,” an admittedly great topic, and Mr. Potter covered it In a wonderfully enlightening address, which was not only listened to with marked attention by the banqueters, but was broadcasted by the new radio broadcasting station establish­ ed at the college last week, and was heard by many people all over the United States, as evidenced by re­ ports by mall and wire being re­ ceived at the college. Following the banquet, the edi­ tors and their ladles were guests of Hon. Terry C. Corliss at a theatre party at the Strand, which was high­ ly enjoyed. Friday noon the officers of the as­ sociation were guesta of Dean Rob­ ert 6. Shaw, acting president of the college, at a luncheon at the senior service building, which is one of the Interesting buildings on the grounds, where every girl who takes the home economics course Is required to live for six weeks during her senior year. Herq a number of girls, under the guidance of a matron, live together, keeping the house, or­ dering and preparing all the meals, keeping the house in order, and real­ ly learning all the details of practi­ cal housekeeping. Friday evening the publishers and their ladies were guests of the Dud­ ley Paper company at a dinner serv­ ed In the big gymnasium of the In­ dustrial Home tor Boys. Mr. W. C. Dudley, head of the paper company. Is a member of the board of this great institution, takes a lively In­ terest in Its affairs, and is loved by evtry boy in the institution. The guests were met at the close of the afternoon session by a fleet of taxis and taken to the plaat of the Dudley Paper company, where they were es­ corted through the offices and ware­ houses of one of the largest whole­ sale paper companies of the state. From here they were- taken by taxis to the Industrial Home, where a splendid dinner was served by the NUMBER 30 NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 1924 /GLUME LI boys of the school, while enlivening music was furnished by the indus­ trial Home band, a musical organi­ sation of great merit. Following the dinner, brief talks were made by Mr. Dudley, Major Robert E. Marsh, su­ perintendent of the Institution, Mrs. Craig C. Miller of Marshall, a mem­ ber of the State Corrections com­ mission, and others. Motion pic­ tures of the work of the State High­ way commission on Michigan High­ ways. with convict labor, were shown and the work explained, and it was given out that the commission is saving to the state a matter of about >8000 per mile on concrete roads, in addition to getting more and better highway work done than is usually done by contracting firms on the same class of work. Motion pic­ tures of the Industrial Home activi­ ties were also shown and proved of great interest to the guests. A brief business session was held, after which carriages took the guests to their hotels, completing a most en­ joyable evening which was highly appreciated by the guests of the Dudley Paper company. Saturday morning, <at the final business session, the election of of­ ficers resulted in the re-election of Len W. Felghner of the Nashville News as president, David E. Hubbell of the Croswell Jeffersonian as vice president, and the election of Her­ bert A. Wood of the Bangor Advance as secretary-treasurer In place of Blm R. Wilson of the Saline Obser­ ver, who had held the office for a number of years and who declined a re-election. Members of the exec­ utive pommittee, with the officers, are Fred D. Keister of the Ionia County­ News. Oscar Schumann of the Gray­ ling Avalanche, Schuyler L. Mar­ shall of the Clinton county Republi­ can, St. Johns, and Don Moon of the Cassopolis National Democrat. James B. Haskins of the Howard City Rec­ ord retains his position of Field Secretary, which he has tcceptably filled for the past two years. A magnificent silver cup, present­ ed by M. A. C., for the paper which rendered the best community ser­ vice to its community during the past year, was awarded to the Re­ publican of St. Johns, after a close competition, in which several other newspapers received honorable men­ tion. One of the pleasing incidents of the meeting was the tribute paid to G. L. Adams of the Fowlerville Ob­ server. who will this year observe the fiftieth year of consecutive own­ ership and guidance of his newspa­ per. The association voted to make a pilgrimage to Fowlerville In July to help him in the fitting obser­ vance of his anniversary. This meeting was the most large­ ly attended and the most enthus­ iastic which has been held by the as­ sociation since its reorganization three years ago and the prospects are very bright for Its regaining its old-time prestige and becoming a vi­ tal factor in the success and prosperi­ ty of the weekly publishers of Michi­ gan. W. L. C. The Woman’s Literary club qiet at the Library February 12. This'date had been set aside for a Patriotic program. The president, Mrs. Belie Everts, presided at the business ses­ sion. Mrs. F. F. Shilling had charge of the program which followed. Sev­ eral of those who were to take in the program were unable to be pres­ ent, but Mrs. Shilling proved her­ self to be a typical “Pollyanna" with the help of those who were present, and proceeded to make the afternoon a pleasant one. She made a few fitting remarks in memory of a number of our most noted pa­ triots, and read a paper on the life and achievements of George Wash­ ington. Mrs. Ida Price gave an in­ teresting paper on the life of Ab­ raham Lincoln, and Mrs. Maud Wotring read a patriotic poem entitled, "The Revolutionary Rising.'* George and Louise Wotring sang a duet in their usual pleasing man­ ner and were not accompanied by any instrument. Five little patriots came after school and gave a pretty little drill, accompanied bv a patriotic song. They were George Wotring, Harold Pendill, Hugh and Patty McNitt and Junior Roe.

IB THE DATE FJDR VILLAGE ELECTIONS. CAUCUSES MUST BE HELL NEXT WEEK. President George C. Deaae Declares Hlnux-lf Out After Serving Three Terms; Demands a Vacation. Caucuses for the nomination of candidates for village offices must be held next week. Village election comes on Monday, March 10, and the caucuses must be held at least twenty days before that time. Reg­ istration notices ar^ now appearing and election notices will follow next week. The republicans will have to-cast about for a new candidate for vil­ lage president, as George C. Deane, who has filled the office very accept­ ably for three terms, declares he will not allow his name to go on the tickdt. He feels that he has served his time and that some one else should be willing to take his place this spring. Three members of the village leg­ islature are to be elected, in place of L. E. Lents. John Martens and Van W. Pendill, whose terms expire. The members who remain for. anoth­ er year are E. A. Hannemann, Dr. C. K. Brown and Fred Brumm. C. H. Brown will undoubtedly be the republican candidate for village treasurer, and Howard Sprague, the present incumbent of the office, will■ be the democratic candidate. Vil­ lage Clerk Theo Bera will probably be the republican nominee to succeed himself, both as village and town­ ship cleYk.. Village Assessor A. G. Murray an­ nounces that he will again be a can­ didate for the position. We urge upon the voters of the village, no matter of what political party, to get out and attend their cau­ cus. See that only good and cap­ able men are nominated. It does­ n’t particularly matter in municipal affairs whether the man who seeks an office be a republican or a demo­ crat. but it does matter greatly that he be a good citizen, interested in the affairs of the village and In its growth and prosperity. He should be capable of filling acceptably the office to which he aspires and it is up to the voters to attend the cau­ cuses and see that only such men are nominated. This will assure good officials, no matter who wins. MRS. LOI8 L. LIIAaEY WEDS JASPER DEEDB. The Rev. T. E. Williams Officiates at Nuptial Ceremony Saturday. The many friends of Mrs. Lois L. Lilley, formerly of the Paris vicinity, will feel especial Interest in the item which follows. Mrs. Lilley was married at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon to Jas­ per G. Deeds of Nashville, Barry county.

NASHVILLE MAN IN JAIL CHARGED WITH FORGERY | trip to Detroit Monday. Auctions | After being idle for over two weeks on account of Vermontville cancelling their games, Nashville once more resumed the role of champions In the basketball world by journeying to Bellevue Friday night and winning bothboys’ and girls' games.The Bellevue teams were clearly outclassed In every stage of the game; however, they de­ serve credit for playing a clean brand of basketball. The girls' game resulted in the rather one-sided score of ,33 to 4. Our guards did some fine work by holding Bellevue to one field bas­ ket, made in the second quarter by Legge. The other two points were made from free throws. Remington made several spectacular plays, and scored 17 of Nashville’s 35 points. Parker scored 8 points, Cross 6, and Lowell 2. Nashville forwards show­ ed splendid t< i work throughout the game. The line-up is as follows: Nashville Bellevue Remington rf Church If Legge Cross Furnlss jc Marshall rc Mulvaney Parker .. rg Butler Powers 1g -Barker' Green / ishville—Lowell for Substitutes: Parker, Mead ■ Green, Parker for r Mead: Bellevue— Lowell, Green Shipp for Bark Laurlezak for Mul­ vaney. Due to the fact that two of the regulars on the boys’ team were not in the line-up, the score, 27 to 12, wae not so lop-sided as that of the girls. The boys played a fast, snappy game, but the basket shoot­ ing war. ragged at times. Sprague took first honors with seven baskets; Springett second with Hhree, and Townsend one with three free throws.

In computing his net income for the year 1923 a taxpayer may deduct from gross income all losses, incur­ red not only in his business, trade or profession, but in any *' tran­ saction entered into for profit” not compensated for by Insurance or otherwise. To be allowed, losses not incurred in trade or business must conform closely to the wording of the statute. For example, a loss incurred in the sale of a taxpayer's home, which at the time of purchase was bought without intention of resale, is not deductible because it was not a tran­ saction entered into for profit. Bosses sustained in the operation of a farm as a business venture are deductible. If sustained in the oper­ ation of a farm operated merely for the pleasure or convenience of the taxpayer, such losses are not deduc­ tible.

Love­ ly business, coming home from spend­ ing the evening out, to find' the house carefully locked and every key to the shebang locked inside. Beast­ ly luck. Fellow hunts around , and finds all the other doors bolted and every window securely fastened. Well, there’s one of the second story windows not locked, and there’s a ladder hanging on the back yard fence, but that window is one that sticks something fierce, and the lad­ der isn’t a very strong one, and 216 pounds is a lot of responsibility on a ladder, anyway, and then, too, the ladder might slip or something. Well, one wanders around the house and finally decides to smash in a cellar window and make a burglarious entry in that way. Then one won­ ders if any of the neighbors are looking and if they will call the po­ lice, or perhaps carelessly decide that a double-barrelled shotgun may properly be used on such occasions. Well, we can’t stand around all night in the snow and cold, ‘so we finally decided to take a crack at the window, when we discover that the window doesn’t happen to be fastened very securely and by,a lot of careful wiggling and twisting we can remove the window and let the wife down, and she comes - up. through the cellar stairs and unlocks the door and everybody is happy again.

OLIN They tell about one time back in the old days when John lived back on the old farm in Kalamo, that he got up in the night for his regular midnight lunch, which usually con­ sists of bread and milk and some mince pie or anything like that which happens to be lying around loose, and he went into the pantry to get some milk. Well, the pantry was in the cold part of the house and the pan of milk he wanted happened to be away up on the top shelf, and he had just pulled it to the edge of the shelf when a startled mouse made Its appearance. John let loose of the pan with one hand and grabbed at the varmint, and the pan of milk improved the opportunity to slip out of his hand and John got one beautiful milk bath from head to foot. Not only that, but that milk, well covered with cream, was darned cold, and all John had on was a night shirt, which isn’t much pro­ tection against showers of cold milk. And John got all smeared up and plastered with cream, and he was certainly in one awful mess. And there was no warm water in the house and John had to swab that milk and cream off his manly bosom ns best he could with cold water. B-r-r-r-r! Gosh; can you imagine it?

Her methods of work were origins! with herself. Her songs are characterized by bright and pleasing rhythms, clever use of dramatic color and suitability to the voice. Mrs. Gaynor wrote the ac­ companiments to her songs with great freedom and they have unusual musical value, for the grade of dif­ ficulty to which they belong. Mrs. Gaynor possessed fine qualities and ideals. To chlM instructions4 she gave her whole soul, mind and ener­ gy. She wrote about 50 songs, pub­ lished in another volume. •"Hie Slumber Boat.” This beautiful melody is upon a poem by that delightful writer for children, Mrs. Alice C. D.

BcrseUo Writes Plainly About < onuesOoa at School Building Shouhl be Done. (tty Sept. G. E. Bepette.) One day last week our editor vlslted our local high school and ex­ hibited a real interest in school aftrirs. His visit indicated a genuine tatellgent and sympathetic interest tn the work of the school and the Ives of the people of Nashville. Af­ ter having spent considerable time In visiting the rooms and in observfrxg the general situation, he asked me several questions which are worth the consideration of all of the people of Nashville. Since the ques­ tions and answers, to them should be •f interest to all of the people, I am taking the liberty of getting them before you, trusting that you will be sb much interested as was our editor. I believe that our editor is well informed regarding the law with reference to school buildings in Michigan, as evidenced by his line of questioning. The following is the gist of a paragraph taken from Bul­ letin No. 52. “School Buildings. Equipment, and Grounds for City, • radod and Rural Agricultural School Districts.” This bulletin is, published by the Department of Public. Instruction, at Lansing, ■lab. “The size of class rooms should be determined by the number of pupils to be seated in a room. The class ■oom to be planned with a minimum •f fifteen square feet of floor-space per pupil, and an air space of two hundred to two hundred fifty cubic tt.et per pupil. The air space shall be the determining factor for the seating capacity of a room, even flboagh the flo^r space, on the basis «C fifteen square feet, would permit more pupils to be seated in the ■oom. The wardrobes are to be bvilt so that t^e pupils’ wraps can be hung In them without being qtosely packed ' together. Provision must always be made for the ventil­ ation of these rooms so that the wraps will dry.” Some of the questions asked by qwr editor are: 1.—“How many square feet of floor space have we per pupil in the various rooms?” 2—“How many cubic feet of air apace per pupil in the various 3. —"Hava we cloak room enough accommodate our pupils?'* 4. —“is there corridor and stair spom sufficient for the number of -“Which rooms are adequate crowded board 7. —“What is the capacity of our heating plant?" 8. —“What would you suggest to remedy the situation?” In answer to 1, 2 and 5 of the tibovo questions the following table only a part of the pupils to the board at one time. I am unable to answer number seven. However. I win say that we have had plenty of heat for .the cold­ est weather thus far and I assume that It is at least well adapted to the building that we now have. perhaps the last question is the most difficult to answei and more especially for a man who is here for his first year: Though for your consideration I respectfully suggest the utillxation of the present build­ ing for the grades, as the building that we now have is in too good con­ dition to be discarded entirely. It would accommodate the present grades and provide for an increase in the future. In this way the school would not be running below the minimum requirement of floor space and air space, as it is at the present time. The seating capacity of the school as it now must be seat­ ed would accommodate the grades and allow 246 feet of air space per pupil counting each teacher as one pupil, which was not done In com­ piling the foregoing table. The rec­ commendation of the state is 250 cubic feet per pupil. I said that the building would provide for an in­ crease and this would be taken care of by making the science and music rooms into one room. (At the pres­ ent time these must be used for reci­ tation rooms.). With the present building used for the grades the district would need to build a new building for the high school. This I believe can be very nicely done by closing the alley to the north of the present building. In this way the school system of the town would be kept under the same supervision and would be heated from the one plant. ‘ I trust that every reader will ap­ preciate that this article is in no way a knock upon the school. I have given the facts as they are. as I believe every resident will be in­ terested in them, as was our editor. Respectfully yours. G. E. Bersette. BARRY COUNTY DISTRICT SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. Those privileged to attend the Barry county District Sunday school convention enjoyed a most profitable time together. Monday, Feb. 18, in the Nashville Methodist church. Mr. E. K.

WHAT THEY DO AND SAY IN WASHINGTON. Gal- (By Sally Gordon.) Washington is the greatesttour___ 1st aity in the United States. Every patriotic American traveler sooner or later finds his way to the capital city. Of the thousands who svlsit Wash­ ington every year almost all git In the gallery of the house and Senate and watch the wheels of govern­ ment go ’round. If the visitor happens to be on familiar terms with the members and Senators from his state he is es­ corted to the House or the Senate gallery usually reserved for the fam­ ilies of the members. Arrived there he generally fastens his eyes on the "big-wigs” below and does not rea­ lise that the gallery is frequently the scene of tragedy, comedy and even of romance. One day a friend invited me to accompany her to the gallery In an­ ticipation of a pyrotechnic display of American Oratory on the part of her husband. When he walked down into the well of the House to make his speech a woman.behind us said in a stage whisper. “Isn’t he ugly." Instantly my friend turned in her seat-and replied: “I don’t think so. 1 have lived with that man for twen­ ty-three years and I've never seen anyone for whom I’d trade him off.” The lady of the first part almost fainted. She explained and apologized and explained but her explanations did not explain and her apologies fell fiat. Later she touched my friend on the arm when another man walk­ ed down the aisle and said: "I wish you would say the meanest thing you can think of about that man—he is my husband.” But the wife of the "ugly” member refused to say any­ thing uncomplimentary about the gentleman designated and there were those present who declared the coals of fire produced a faint od­ or of singed hair in the gallery. A similar experience befell Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the late Speaker Clark. One day when the members’ gallery was crowded, the speaker left the chair and came down to the floor to make a speech. A guest in the gallery, who was sitting on the steps in the aisle next to the speaker’s row. exclaimed: "There's Champ Clark! What’s he going to talk about? The coun­ try has heard about enough from him.” Whereupon Mrs. Clark, who be­ lieved "Champ” hung out the moon, inquired in icy tones: “My good man, I should like to know the source of grour Information. I am Mrs. Clark. The poor fellow almost had apo­ plexy and Mrs. Clark felt so sorry for him that she Invited him to sit be­ side her. One day during an exciting debate I sat for hours beside a charming young woman who I knew was not "congressional” because she plied me with questions concerning members on the floor. She was eager to see the lions, and know their names and to hear them roar. We didn’t in­ troduce ourselves but I expressed my views vehemently upon the bill un­ der discussion which dealt with in­ ternational relations. We were waxing "chummy” when she said smiling sweetly: "My hus­ band's, brother is the Ambassador to This "done stuff 1e th* old walnut shells. the sacr> There that goes on In both the Hous Senate galleries.

"And I wish to know, to prove to you that what seems so dreadful to you Is a trifle, something that we can laugh at, Sheila." The girl’s attitude was expressive of Intense excitement as she listened. She made no reply, but, turning to the Hottentot, addressed him in his own tongue. The man clicked in answer, dismounted from his horse, led It to Winton, and. placing the reins In his hands, set off at an even jog across the desert In the direction from which they had come. Winton would have helped Sheila Into the saddle, hut she vaulted In without touching the stirrup, and sat upright on her mount, wa'ting for h’m. He clambered up, and they set off side t>j ride. iled in The fresh breexe, blowing on Win­ ton’s face, drove the last traces of the chloroform away. The scalp wound had ceased to bleed. "Winton hegnn to feel stronger. Aud he watohed E3 Sheila, riding gracefully at his side.

The Hottentot had disappeared; they' were-alone; he believed that within an hour he wonM have solved the mys^ tery and proved it nothing; * Yet even then he was vaguely con­ scious that something In his brain I checked the Impulses of his heart warning him, counseling prudence, questioning even his love. The girl said nothing, and Winton did not break the silence. The miles were reeled off behind them; Winton did not know* how long they traveled, but it was not yet dawn when the desert began to give place to a range of broken hills. They ascended a defile betwen two boulder-strewn elevations. Now the character of the country had changed. Imperceptibly the desert fell away. There was green grass under­ foot, an occasional cactus raised Its spiny Joints among the rocks, here and there were clusters of acacias. A man baboon barked at them from among the rocks, In challenge of their Invasion of his domain, hurled u stone nt them, and fled scrambling Into his cave. Though no life was In evidence, there was that Indefinite stirring around them that betokens the prepa rat ions for day. A breeze came up; then a line of amber appeared under the cloud bunks In the east Dawn was at hand ns they rode into the broken hills. Their horses climbed steep slopes, dislodging show­ ers of stones, then began to descend Into a fertile valley. In the distance Winton could see a cluster ot beehive huts, the headquar­ ters of the native tribe. And still neither he nor Sheila had spoken. The Hottentot who had set off afoot had arrived before them. He ap4>eared out of a cleft In the mountains and Indicated to Winton that he was to dismount. Winton and Sheila nscendeil* a little slope afoot, towuni the village. In the center was a clearing, already occupied by a number of native”. They were naked, except for their loin cloths, and carried long throwing spears und white ox-hide shields. As the two approached the chattering eeased.. Winton perceived in the middle of them a very old woman, wearing the waist cloth and a gaudily-colored blanket over her shoulders. The natives sprang to their feet as Sheila drew'near and uttered a«deeprolced salutation. She spoke a few words, and silently they filed away into the huts. The old woman, Winton, ind Sheila were alone in front of* smoldering tire. The aged woman raised her eyes t nd fixed them on Winton’s face. Winton looked at her Intently, She was not unprepossessing, and he could *ce now that, like most of her race, <he bad aged more quickly than tho .ears of a white woman would have varrantod. Perhaps she was about sixty. Her skin was the color of a dark European’s, sunburned rather than pig­ mented, and the features were regu­ ar; the eyes lacked the semlobllquo •etting of the Hottentot’s. It was clear Jiat she had a considerable, perhaps i preponderating proportion of Cau?aidan blood.. Sheila turned to Winton, and. In q>lte of his minimizing of her promsed revelation he felt a chill at bls lieart at ..the sight of her face. “This is my mother," she said, and, vending, kissed the old woman. Winton stood perfectly stll'. The •evelatlon had stunned him. As In a iream he looked Into the old creature’s wrinkled face, conscious of Sheila's »yes fixed on his own. A bird broke •nto song; the tops of the mountains were silhouetted against the red of the iky; nothing seemed to stir, and the olrd went on singing. Sheila beckoned to Winton, and be followed her to the Summit of the ele­ vation. They were quite alone, look­ ing down on the ring of native huta, »nd the doll-like figure of the old queen if the tribe, who had not stirred. Evilently she had not understood what Sheila had aaid. Sheila faced Winton caknly. “It is your doing." she aaid quietly. *T wanted /ou to leave me.

There has been a great deal of dis­ cussion among the radio fans lately concerning the Interference which they experience due to each others’ sets. Why not all cooperate and re­ member the other fellow; with the following suggestions as a help? Whenever your set is howling for you. it is without doubt Interfering with someone else, so keep it below the oscillation point as much as pos­ sible. Have a good rheostat, a vernier is better, and do not force your tube. The tendency is to want louder signals and consequently to turn the tube on further, but the best operating point has been found to be just below the point where the tube frys‘. Also do not use too much regeneration. Lower it just suf­ ficiently to keep it from howling. If these'thoughts are kept In mind with this uppermost "Keep the tube from oscillating." you Should get the best of reception with the least of inter­ ference to the other fellow. GRANGE DOINGS.

NASHVILLE SPLITS HONORS IN BASKETBALL GAMES Over Middleville. Nashville once more showed their old form and fighting spirit by win­ ing three straight games last week. After the trouncing we took at Lake Odessa, it seems good to be on the long end of the score one more. Wednesday night of last week our girls triumphed over the Ver­ montville gif Is to a score of 47 to 21. The only time in the game that the visitors were in the lead was in the first few minutes of play when they scored the first field basket. The Nashville girls promptly stepped out ahead, however, and kept increasing their lead until the final whistle. The Independents, composed of Rockwell and Henderson, forwards, Lynn, center, Mead, DeFoe and Brady, guards, went up against a bunch of old high school stars, whose team 5york showed the effects of dili­ gent practice, and the locals took the small end of a 28 to 9 score. The feature of the game was the good sportsmanship displayed by both teams for so rough a contest. Friday night Middleville boys and girls were here as our guests. Due to jhe condition of the roads, the teams had to come by train, and were entertained over nl$ht in Nash­ ville homes. Our girls for the second time in ’.he week showed the same old fight­ ing spirit, and when the final whis,'le sounded the score stood 34 to 15, in favor of Nashville. Both sanies were fast, but exceptionally ■lean. Our boys ran up a 29 to 7 lead without difficulty. *Townsend “ made 5 field baskets and 3* free ‘.brows; Sprague next with 4 field baskets, and Sprlngett 2. Two of ->ur first string men were not in tho line-up. both of the guard positionsbeing filled by subs.

Due to the fact that 7>ur referees were unable to got here on account of the roads, the Kames were handled by Coaches Hynes and Rockwell. This week Friday night we go to Hastings for a return game with the county-seaters. Julius B.

You can plan to raise pickles and be sure of a market and good prices for your product. i Having decided to make a change, we will sell at public auction at the O. M.

Any experienced pickle grower will bear us out in the statement that pickles arc just as sure a crop if grown by proper methods as any other farm crop. When a crop is secured of pickles, you have a permanent market and a good price guaranteed. We are willing to take on a good acreage at Nashville, and are also willing to establish a receiving Station at Kalamo and Vermont­ ville provided we secure enough acreage to warrant it.

He had sworn to roe that if I went away with him his persecution of my father should stop. There was nothing tn his conduct toward me that might not have been done by any man In Malopo. No blame would have attached Itself to him la Malopo’* eyes. "I told him that I was willing to aarrilVe myself for my father's sake. Why not? I am a native woman; why should I obey the law of the whites when I an a thing shunned and de­ spised?" “Khella*" cried Winton hoarsely. “Yea, despised.” she repeated, fling­ ing out the words defiantly.

I was going with him that night, but I know that there was murder In my heart I was going to kill him. You showed me the better way; taught me to honor myself, even at the coot of my father's life if need be." “Shelia. I honor you for what you have told me,” said Winton. “I under­ stand' what you have suffered. I do not pity you. I admire your courage." “Yes?" she answered, with an ironic Inflection In her voice. "Perhaps you will tell me that you still love me?" “I love you, Sheila, as I have done from the first I" he cried. “And would still ask me to be your wife?" she persisted relentlessly. Winton was silent. He knew now that the Inexorable law of the race Is founded, not on prejudice, but upon some Interior prompting that may be called divine. In spite of the spell that the girl exercised over him he shrank from the Idea. And the thought of his own ostracism that must follow bad the least part In his abhorrence. Sheila laughed, and Winton cried out. stung to the quick: “I am ready to marry you. Sheila. And I will take you away from Malopo; 11 will take you to America, where none ' will ever guess at the truth." "You propose too high an honor for me," answered the girl Ironically. But then, her bitter mood softened by the vehemence of Ills words, she went to him and put her hands on bls shoul­ ders with the old gesture. Her face was very tender. “No. my dear." she answered. “I have made you suffer In my outraged pride; I have brought sorrow upon you In return for the kindness you have shown me. But I would never do you this wrong." “Sheila. It Is no wrong!" “The race bar—" “Means nothing. You have Inherited none of the qualities of—of your mother." “Are we responsible only to our­ selves then?" asked the girl, seeming to shrink for the first time under her ordeal. “Or are we. each one of us, custodians of the race? You, at least, hare your duty to the generation that Is to follow yours. "In the years to come you will thank me. Jf you cannot now. Good-by; and believe that, if my heart were not warped and twisted. It would be yours, though I could never be." Of a sudden the san’s rim burst above the valley, turning It Into a glow of gold. The lengthy shadows rtf the mountains swept It from end to end. In the huts beneath them there wb« a stirring. Women, their straight bodies as graceful as Greek statues, carrying water pltchera made from wild gourds upon the!- heads In classic guise. he?an to walk in single file along the path dorm to the spring. Winton saw a group of warriors standing, and looking up at them. “I have one more word to sav." Shells added. "The tribesmen are dis­ satisfied about their lands, as you must know. The-e have been rumors of a rebellion. They are well founded. The meeting lest night was to discuss the chances of an uprising. I know no more. But warn Malopo. This la the last service that I can do for those who are no longer mv people." She turned and began to descend the slope. Winton stood watching her un­ til she had mingled with the throne of savages below. Then only did he seem to wake from the dream that had taken possession of him since the moment of their encounter In the desert. Me shuddered and. sick and broken, tore himself with almost a phrs|c»l effort and set his face toward the desert. Only that,obscure race dnty which Is never awakened in the vast majority of men prevented hln. from obeying his Impulse to follow her Into the “ntlve village and do what Reston had done. In spite of Sheila's vehemence Winton believed that he could overcome her scruples. He felt that she loved him, or rather, that there wan, beneath her moods, beneath her hardness, a spring at love, loyal and Inexhaustible. Presently Winton perceived the Hot­ tentot whom he had encountered In the desert. The man came up to him and Indicated by signs that It was hl* mission to guide him oat of the moun­ tains. Winton followed him, not along the route by which they had come, but alone • defile tn the hills, which led. apparently, in the opposite direction, though, after many twisting*, it finally turned southward. mile* Black gelding. 6 yr* old.

SKMtNE55 Ejitrwc to 9 Detroit, March 1 at-Who is the prettiest girl in Michigan A state wide search for her has begun and when she is found, she will be re­ warded in a manner that one usual­ ly hears about only when speaking of dreams or story books. She is wanted to take part in the Michigan Industrial Exposition to be held in Detroit. May 3 to 17, to participate in the spectacle "En­ chantment”. that is to be presented oa one of the big stages in Conven­ tion hall, the largest permanent ex­ position building in the world. From the contestants will be chosen one who Is to be known as the “Girl You Can’t Forget”, and to her Will go as aTeward, a handsome se­ dan. She will be brought tcu De­ troit as a guest of the exposition, her expenses paid and she will re­ ceive a salary in addition. - In keeping with the nature of the exposition—that it is to be above all an event for all of Michigan—the directors are eager to have contes­ tants from every part of the state, from small communities as well Ms from large industrial centers. Per­ haps the fortunate “Girl You Can't Forget" today Is a little member of some farm household; perhaps she is the daughter of a leading citizen of a thriving city: or she may be a singer in a church choir or a Uni­ versity co-ed. The contest is open to all girls living in Michigan. The girl is to be selected by pho­ tograph. All she has to do is send in a late picture with her name and address plainly written on the back. The picture should be addressed to: "Beauty Contest, Michigan Indus­ trial Exposition, Convention hall, De­ troit”. It should be mailed not la­ ter than April 2. The pictures will be passed upon by a committee of ar­ tists headed by Joseph Kraemer, head of the Art Department of The De­ troit News; Russell Legg of the De­ troit Free Press; Archie G. Allan, The Detroit Times, and Arthur Marchner, The Detroit News, and members of the Scarab Club. “Enchantment”, the beautiful spectacle in which the winner is to participate, tells the story of a little girl, who, because of her naughtiness in destroying a garden of flowers, is seised by gnomes and carried away to their cave, where they are filling a great cauldron with Hate, Malice, and all the other unpleasant things of life. Here the little girl has a series of exciting adventures, until she is freed by Mercy to behold the "Girl You Can't Forget" and all her charming court. The part of the girl Is to be play­ ed by Miriam Baptista, the child star of “Humoresque", "Smilin’ Through” and other famous pictures. A ballet of 50 will take part in the spectacle, and there will be national dances and other deluxe vaudeville acta. The winner of the contest, in ad­ dition to receiving the automobile and taking a par Fin “Enchantment”, will be the central figure in a num­ ber of social events. There will be a dance in her honor at one of the exclusive country clubs, boat rides, automobile trips, and other forms of entertainment, all Under the chap­ eronage of well known Detroit ma­ trons. Here is the invitation, and it is extended by the Management of the Michigan Industrial Exposition to all Michigan girls. All photographs will be returned if the name and ad­ dress is plainly written on the back. KA LAMO DEPARTMENT. February was a. success as a real winter month with its average morn­ ing temperature of 17: 30 atnoonday mean ttiu^c'ature .or the month of 23.5, which was only one to three degrees warmer than January. 15 fair days, 6 cloudy. 8 real snow storms and fine sleighing for the whole month—that was February. The Sth was the first all-fair day in four months and then we got 9 more of them all fair and here’s March with the lion and the lamb trying to He down together with the prospects exceptionally good for the lamb to survive to the finish: So be it. Mr. Ludlow was reported as quite sick again the first of last week at the home of his daughter In Freporf, where (hey are visiting. Harley Per­ kins was up later and found him much better and getting along nice­ ly. Pierce Gariety's daughter.

We know men who can boll water without burning it. and who can make coftirely different than any coffee the mistress of the house ever made. All this by way of mentioning that Mrs. C. L. Glasgow has been away from home for several weeks, helping care for a sick sister in Detroit. During her absence C. L. has been getting his own meals and has only had to call the doctor twice in the night for a severe attack of acute indiges­ tion, besides having called Hank Zuschnitt in several times to do the best he could to take the place of a trained nurse. Meals have been somewhat delayed several times, on account of C. L. not being able to find enough dishes to serve on, but we understand that he took them all out in the back yard in a tub the other day and turned the hose on them, so that they will be all right tor another couple of weeks. one yet make a really first-class Job of IL We understand the 18th amendment has taken partial effect out in Maple Grove township, so much so that some of the old-time cider cellars have been closed to general patronage, which mak­ es for an unusual drouth In town 3 north of range 7 west. Anyway, some Castleton people who drove out to Maple Grove Cen­ ter recently to attend a dancing par­ ty took along a big jug of hot water to help keep the ladies' tootales warm until they could twitter them to the music. Along in the course of the evening several of the Maple Grove boys went out on a sort of “still” bunt and they found the jug. now cooled by the Icy air, in the car. One of them pulled the cork and took a smell. It had been used as a vinegar jug and hadn't been scalded out, so it did have a sort of smell that awakened an interest and the investigator took a good, healthy swig of It. Finding himself sold, he decided to pass it along, so he smacked his lips, pretended to take another swig, then commenting on how good it was, passed it along to the next fellow. It went all along down the line, then the boys com­ menced inviting others out from the dance to partake of the “good stuff”. It went all right until the water was nearly gone, when one fellow got a swallow of “mother” that had been left in the jug, and they say he has­ n't eaten a square meal since. “Love Brings a Little Gift of Ibut what we would like to know is who the dickens sent the big fat editor a swell twopound box of chocolates from I>< troit.

Winton's evidence was taken at his bedside for the information of tlje' Bechuanaland police, who hoped to round up the fugitive. Van Vorst's action was the most inexplicable part of the affair. The general opinion in Maiopo was that the man, known for years as the most crafty and cautious purchaser ot stolen stones in the country, bad sud­ denly developed a streak of vlclousneas and adventure. There had been talk of sending a body of police into th* native territories in pursuit of him, but ultimately It was decided to telegraph all the border posts to watch for him. Through one of these Van Vorst must eventually pass on his way back to civilisation. What surprised Maiopo most, per­ haps, was the fact that Van Vorst had gone to such pains in order to secure a single stone of no extraordinary value —at least, not of enough to make its possession worth outlawry. Winton possled over tills for some time until Sheila's explanation* suddenly came back into his memory. If Davis and De Witt had plotted the robbery, in order to get him Into their power, they would stop at noth­ ing ; and they must have some knowl­ edge of the claim's value which he lacked. Being strictly forbidden to leave hla bed for some days, on account of the fever Induced by bls wound and sun­ stroke, Winton fumed and fretted in his bed. He was sure everything in the compound was going wrong, in spite of Sam’s assurances that be was personally surpervlalng things. Seaton had disappeared, and every­ body suspected him of having be­ trayed the whereabouts of the atone to the conspirators. Hla defection was a serious loss; Winton would almost have forgiven the old man If he had returned. “You are sure everything Is going right. Sam?" Inquired Winton for the tenth time. "Indeed, yes. sir. 1 believe. Mr. Gar­ rett. that you will have an agreeable shock when you discoter the success of my new methods," answered the negro. “What’s that? What methods?” Winton demanded. "I have Introduced a few changes in management, sir, based upon the theory that the Bantu is essentially a human. I am endeavoring to introduce th* Idea of social co-operation among our la­ borers.” "All right,” groaned Winton, feeling that remonstrance woe hopeless. “Don’t go too strong, though, and watch the devils carefully for stolen stones.” "That. Mr. Garrett. Is where my plan enters,” replied Snm with dignity. "It Is my belief, sir, that th* so-called primal Instincts of the Bantu race, which Is erroneously supposed to dis­ regard the distinction, In its finer shades, between meum and tuum, ere as mythical as the legend which falsely ascribes to it an abnormal taste for the gallinaceous avian of the edible do­ mesticated species.” “Well, Sam?" “And so. sir, I believe that by treat­ ing the Bantu as a man and a brother, be can be aroused to ethical idealism." "Well, we'll see," answered Winton. “For Heaven's sake go slow, and above all don't let them leave the compound without the most careful searching." When at last Winton was able to leave the cottage, he went at once to the compound, to discover that dis­ cipline was practically In abeyance. The negroes stared at him insolently as they dawdled over their tasks. Win­ ton could not reprove Sam very sharply In view of his obligations tn him He did, however, put him back In his old position ns night watchman. Sam was almost tearful, asserting that his plan was Just on the verge of success, and Winton, to comfort him, left the sphere of his duties a little un­ defined, a situation of which Sam was to take the fullest advantage. Winton realized that to put a negro In charge of negroes was a hopeless proposition. The natives would not obey one of their own color. He en­ gaged a new compound manager to take Seaton's place, a little man named Josephs, tough and wiry, who had been favorably recommended to him some time before, and was known to be effi­ cient end honest Josephs was one of those little men who are Inspired with volcanic energy and passions. Like the late Barney Barnsto, of South African fame, he was a great fighter. Winton watched him tackle the biggest Bechuana of the gang and put him to sleep in the first round, and felt that Sam’s work bade fair to be undone. He went away sat­ isfied that his affairs were in good hands. The news of the washing was most discouraging. The water supply was consistently meager, and nothing had been found In the small amount of rock that had been pulverized except a few tiny stones, of practically no value for jewelers' purpose*. Maiopo no longer believed in the claim, the rush had stopped, and there was a considerable exodus in the coaches that left for Tarings. And yet Winton was positive that the claim was a bonanza, and that the syndicate knew It. He began to look shout him for a loan.

At present the only part of Michigan where complete snow removal Is at­ tempted is that portion including and lying south of Bay City, the thumb of Michigan being excluded since it contains no large towns. This area embraced 36 counties with a total population of 2,963,208, wlUch iff 80 per cent of the entire population of the state. There are only seven cities in lower Michigan, north of thia area, with a population of 5,000 and upwards, Alpena being the largest with a population of 11,­ 101, and the total population of these seven cities is but 60,981. �Mtn vv h Kielnhans is again able farmer, is moving into the to be out. after her recent illaeaa. having to retire from farm­ ing on account of 111 health. ■ I W.

C. met at the library Tuesday, March 11, and the members and a few guests enjoyed one of the best programs of the club year, with Mrs. Mattle Quick as hostess for the day. Mr. Bersette, the superintendent of our schools,- gave a very interest­ ing and instructive talk on school matters. Mrs. Marcia Munro, introduced to us as “Miss Lily White," took charge of the program, and we were treated to a "Day in the South," and the fol­ lowing program was carried out in true southern style. The first number was a group of southern melodies by a quartet con­ sisting of Mesdames Dora Nelson. Lulu Greene, Myrtle Caley and Daisy Townsend, dressed in costume. Mrs. Mattie Quick gave a sketch of the life and works of Harriet Beecher Stowe, after which the quar­ tet sang another song of the south­ land. Next on -the program we were given the pleasure of seeing a few scenes from Uncle Tom's Cabin. The cast of characters was as follows: Uncle Tom—Mrs. Belle Everts. Aunt Chloe—Myrtle Caley. Eliza—Lillie Vance. George Harris—Ina Lemmon. Little Harry—Marian Fisher. Little Eva—Vivian Appelman. Topsy—-Fern Cross. Ophelia—-flattie Quick. * A very pretty tableau was given at the close, and each one taking part in the play deserves an equal amount of praise as the parts were all so well given. Mrs. Lulu Greene favored us with a solo. “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny." ” The last number on the program was two southern songs by the quar­ tet. Mrs. Belle Everts called the club to order, and a short business session was held, after which delicious re­ freshments consisting of southern hoe-cake, hominy and coffee were served by the refreshment committee. The annual Gentlemen’s Evening will be held Tuesday. March 18. at 8:00 o'clock in the Nashville Club auditorium. The next regular club meeting will be held at the library April 1 to observe Bird day.

A recent issue of the Greenville Independent brings news of the tal­ ented youngsters of the Yfnger fam­ ily, for several years located at Nashville. The Independent says of a recent entertainment: As one thinks of tha concert held at the Methodist church last Friday night he hardly knotys who to con­ gratulate the more, the Yinger chil­ dren or the people oL Greenville. That large audience was certainly a fine expression of loyalty* to home talent. The enthusiastic remarks made ov­ er the work of the double quartet of youngsters would indicate that some words of praise are due them. It is said that the older quartet nev­ er sang better. Their rendition of Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus was mar­ velous. Their patriotic selections in honor of the memory of Washington were very pleasing.

In the mean time, why would it not be practical to erect a temperary building which would house two of the grades now most congested In the present building, and by rear-* ranging some of the present rooms, avoid the present dangerous conges­ tion?

Such a building could be made ready for the fall opening of school. It could undoubtedly be heated from the central plant, which we believe is ample to carry the extra load.

If iBlge Flint still held forth as an attorney, and Judge Killen were here I would be able to obtain justice and show you up as you deserve. You, as owner and publisher of the paper, enjoy the woman's pre­ rogative of the last word, or I would have an article In the paper that would place you In your right posi­ tion before the public. In view of my Inability to obtain what I deem to be my rights I demand. Sir, that you desist from making any more remarks derogatory to my ability as a cook and you can easily understand that if you persist you will entirely destroy my reputation and make it quite impossible for me to obtain work on the boat on which I ex­ pect to visit Ireland the coming summer. If you insist in your right to in­ dulge in reckless statements, I shall be inclined ’to forget your physical condition and administer in person what I believe to be a just and de­ served chastisement. Yours, C. L. Glasgow. Lansing, Mich., March 13.—Four times annually the Detorit aquarium officials journey to Miami and Jack­ sonville, Fla., now and then going to Boston, too—returning ‘ with thousands of specimens of oddly. shaped and odd locking fish from the Atlantic ocean. These fish are placed at Belle Isle. There they are viewed by thousands who never dream of the trials and troubles to which officials of the aqurium go in keeping their stock in order. Be­ sides procuring fish there are regu­ lar shipments of ocean water so the imported fish never want for their natural liquid. The life of a fish in an aquarium Is said to average about six months—that is the salt water variety. A prisoner at Jackson prison has just completed several thousands of dollars worth of drawings of the prison grounds and buildings. These drawing cost the state a most insig­ nificant sum—they were prepared at a labor cost of ten cents per day. The man who prepared them is an inmate, a young graduate from a fa­ mous eastern technical institute who made the mistake of practicing his art with a bank check and a firm's bank account. The drawings show the location of every pipe, conduit and wire in the institution together with shut-off cocks, switches and the like. His labors are likely to save the state some money if the drawings are consulted when .changes in the in­ stitution are proposed. In addition to the preparation of these drawings this young man is likewise the author of the layout for the various prison camps used for .in­ mates employed on highway con­ struction work. With his knowl­ edge of construstion and engineering thiayoung man conceived the idea; of flying out camps on paper. The other day he was listed as being among those who were permitted to go out on the highway gangs In or­ der to do his bit on the highway work of the state that he might make some extra money and possibly short­ ening his sentence by a few months. In a conversation with this youth the other day the writer marveled that one se gifted should be found tucked away in a highway camp do­ ing his bit to satisfy society for the error be had committed. His ex­ cuse was simple and direct and his message to the young men who may read this item was rather homely, though forcdful. He warns against the coveting of riches, the lure of the flaming life. There is a turn in every road, he says, a top board to T. A. Quealey, one of The REXALL Store ly into the treasury. Tim came here from Grand Rapids in 1901. For three years he was in charge of the elevator and had his ups and downs with the best of the capitol visitors. When Daniel McCoy was elected state treasurer 20 years ago Tim was invited to take his present job. He usually arrives first on the scene and fa the last to leave each day. « MICHIGAN MEDICAL SCHOOL LEADER IN ENROLLMENT.

TOWNSEND THE PENSLAR STORE places upon them a still heavier bur­ den to bear and forbear. In this case, as in many similar cases, it is impossible to say who is telling the truth. In this case, 1? both parties were telling the truth, neither is entitled to a divorce. If neither was telling the truth, the re­ sult Is just as unsatisfactory. . It cannot be said that as a result of the foregoing conclusions, the wel­ fare of the children is Ignored, or left to thejictions of the parties, and the vicissitudes of an unhappy rup­ ture. The decree in this case will leave the future of the children with­ in the jurisdiction of the proper tri­ bunal for consideration of their wel­ fare. should action to that end be taken. Having that fact in mind, this Court cannot, on this record, presume to grant a divorce to either party for the mere purpose of assum­ ing the charge and disposition of these minor children. This Court cannot ignore its plain duty to dis­ pose of the main issue involved, with Its far-reaching consequences, merely to take charge ot the chil­ dren, whose welfare can as proper­ ly be guarded in another tribunal. In making this statement, there is no suggestion as to the fitness or unfit­ ness of either of these parties to have the custody of their children. Such a suggestion would be improper, in my opinion, and Is in no way es­ sential to the disposition of this is­ sue. The parties have made their case. They plone are responsible for the situation in wTilch they find themselves. This Court can only pass judgment upon the facts as proven before it in a fair hearing, and these conclusions are reached and these observations are made in the hope that they will have some effect upon the minds and actions of those who contemplate lightly the breaking of the marriage obligations. Decree will be entered dismissing the bill, and likewise the cross bill of complaint, without costs to either party. RUSSELL R. McPEEK. Circuit Judge. Dated February 28, 1924. .

Colorado A NUMBER 35 NASHVILLE FAVORITES PROVIDE ENTERTAINMENT Entertainment de luxe was fur­ nished by the W. L. C. at their an­ nual "Gentlemen's Evening," which was staged at the Nashville Club auditorium Tuesday evening. Differing from the annual banquet which has been the feature of pre­ vious similar celebrations, this one had everybody guessing at what was on the program, as the committee had sedulously guarded the secret of the entertainment until the cur­ tain had been drawn, not a member outside of the -committee knowing anything about it. Thus is shatter­ ed forever the old-time screed that a woman can’t keep a secret. About two hundred guests gather­ ed at the auditorium, % which had been attractively decorated in green and white, as a St. Patrick’s feature, and the shamrock of Old Ireland was everywhere in evidence. At 8:30 Mrs. Lulu Greene, chairman of the entertainment committee, announc­ ed that the program was about to begin, the curtains were drawn, and on a prettily set stage appeared Miss LaNola Cross, Nashville's popular daughter, and Mr. Cleo Fox. of the Fox Schoo! of Music of Kalamazoo, who received a welcome that signi­ fied how deservedly popular they both are tn the old home town. They then proceeded to increase that pop­ ularity by presenting an evening of most excellent entertainment, con­ sisting of readings, vocal and instru­ mental music and sketches. Miss Cross gave a number of readings ac­ companied on the piano by Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox gave piano solos and mono­ logues with music, and trombone so­ los. with Miss Cross at the piano, After a short intermission, they ap­ peared in Irish costume and pre­ sented r repertoire of Irish special­ ties. including readings, vocal and Instrumental music and a whirlwind Irish reel danced by Miss Cross in highly artistic style. Taken as a whole, their program was one of the finest ever given in the village and every number was worthy of presen­ tation on any platform in the coun­ try. Following the program, chairs were removed to the sidqp of the room, a grand march was organized which wound up at a cafeteria lunch table, where the guests were served with a delicious supper of sandwich­ es. chicken salad, pickles. coffee, cake and St. Patrick candies. The evening as a whole was one SUBSCRIPTION NOTICE.

March 17.—Mich­ igan's co-perative wool grower* will market their 1934 clip with the Ohio Wool Growers’ Ass'n, through action f‘rom taken by representatTv leading wool producing counties at a meeting at the Michigan State Farm Bureau, Lauting, March 11. Ohio wool growers have already contract­ ed 3,000,000 lbs. of wool to their aales agency for 1942. Features of the Ohio plan are fixed assembling, grading and sales charge of » 2.75 cents per pound, a cash advance to growers of about 75 per cent of val­ ue of wool at time of acceptance and grading, elimination of competition between wool growers* sales offices In the participating state of Ohio. Mich­ igan, Indiana. Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Action of the Michigan State Farm Bureau and Michigan wool growers followed thorough investigation of the Ohio Wool Growers success of several year* past by a delegation ot Farm Bureau men and prominent wool growers who ent to Colum­ bus and studied the situation. Among the growers were Herbert EL Powell of Ionia. F. C. Tirrell of Charlotte and Jay Smith of Ann Arbor. The Ohio Ass'n plan is I. IM mwool only from growers who tract for the service for one year. Af­ ter a fixed date in late spring no more wool contracts are accepted. The Michigan State Farm Bureau Is now sending the new contracts to inter­ ested Michigan wool growers. Fol­ lowing is the wool growers’ advisory committee in charge ot Michigan's 1924 co-operative wool sales. Barry county: Eli Lindsey Doster; Calhoun—H. 8. Houseman, Grand Ledge; Eaton—F. C. Tlrrel.

Lansing, Mich., March 20.—Depu­ ty Game Wardens have been instruct­ ed to shoot on sight any merganser duck found anywhere In the state. Relentless warfare has been declar­ ed on the merganser now that it has definitely been proven the mergan­ ser robs the trout streams of its game fish. Recent examinations of the stomachs of these ducks have shown its trout loving nature. In one merganser's inwards was found a trout which measured nine inches minus its head. Mark Craw, Trav­ erse City game warden, made that find and has others enroute to state authorities. John Baird, head of the Conservation Department, says a merganser is apt to devour 20 trout per day. Other authorities say this estimate is very conservative. By simple figuring it will be seen the merganser takes a terrific toll of game fish. He is a daily fisherman by nature. A flock of these ducks will take more fish per day than an unny of fishermen.

Bellevue’s New High School Building Through the courtesy of Editor Brown of the Bellevue Gazette we are privileged to present this picture of Bellevue’s new high school building, which houses both the senior and junior high schools, embracing al'l grades frbm the seventh to. the twelfth inclusive. The building was completed last summer, at a cost of about >90,000. The building is 60x175 feet, two stories, with an addition on the west side which houses the healing plant and coal bunkers. There is an auditorium 4 0x70 feet, which is also used as a gym. There are two assem­ bly rooms with seating capacity of 120 pupils each, one of which is used by the senior high school and the other by the junior high. The building also contains science room, chemical laboratory, physical labora­ tory. sewing room, domestic science room, agricultural room, recitation rooms, shower baths and storage rooms. •­ Bellevue has made the common mistake of building an auditorium much too small for the town. Their auditorium will not seat more than 4 50 people comfortably. In other respects the building is very com­ modious and complete, and in connection with the old building, which is connected with the new building at the rear, and which houses the lower grades of the school, makes Bellevue a very complete school equip­ ment. SOME QUEER ARGUMENTS Y. M. ITEMS 'MUSIC MEMORY CONTEST Henry Remington sends us from Pawhuska, Oklahoma, where he is working, clippings from newspapers giving some of the details of ther recent sales there of Indian oil lands* and H. F. comments as follows: The prices paid as per the enclosed clip­ pings are simply the oil right, and the "poor Indian also gets a royalty of one-eighth of the value of the oil.”' A clipping dated March 18 says: A record was set for the amount paid for an undeveloped Osage coun­ ty lease Tuesday when Cosden OIL and Gas company paid >1,$55,000 for the southeast quarter of 14-27-5, this exceeding by >355,000 any prevlous high bid. Cosden also bought the southwest of 14-27-5 for >1,790,000 or >190,000 more than the pre­ vious high bid. Prairie Oil and Gas company acquired the southwest quarter of 13-27-5 for >1,825„000 and Midland Oil company the south­ east quarter of 13-27-5 for >1,580,000. Kewanee Oil and Gas com­ pany purchased the southeast quar­ ter of 18-27-6 for >605,000, bring­ ing. the total Burbank proceeds to >8,040,000. Total offerings for th» first day were >8,342,600 so It is quite evident that a new record for collections from one sale will be set at the conclusion of the sale Wednesday evening," Another clipping, dated March 19, says: ‘Paul Red Eagle, Mose Baconrind, "Cap” Strike Axe. or any one of the other 2,229 dark-skinned beneficiarles of the oil man's bounty wino com­ prise the Osage Indian payroll, must have relaxed their ordinarily finpassive features Into a copper smile as they stood in the Constantne thea­ tre here Tuesday afternoon and. watched • sweating, puffing "oillionaires" struggle to pour their gold in­ to the Osage treasury. "Humph. Barney Google, Spark Plug, pikers. What >50.000? What >100,000? One, two, fourteen million —that hot stuff!” And veteran Cap Strike Axe who has seen millions roll into tribal bank acounts by the same route, was justified in the dis­ gusted shrug registered by his once stalwart but now slightly-bent sol­ diers. High Record is $14,193,800. "Fourteen million one hundred and ninety-three thousand and eight hundred dollars—exceeding by more that >3,000 the largest figure ever paid at an Osage lease auction—were paid out by oil magnates during the two day sale of leases offered on. more than 100,000 acres of Osage tribal lands. >8,342.600 was bid the first day. and >5,851,200 Wednesday. "The highest price ever paid for a single undeveloped 160-acre lease in the Osage reservation was recorded when Midland Oil company.

The bidding was slow until the west side offering* were introduced. 153 tracts not even receiving the minimum bids. When the valuable properties at Burbank were offered, however, things took on. a different aspect. The only east side tract to bring a price in the six figures was the southwest quarter of 20-28-8 near Hominy near which Marland Refining compatgr has a big well. Marland contested but withdrew when the Red Bank Oil company offered the successful bid of >230,000."

COUNTERFEIT BILLS ARE CIRCULATING. If you present your money for deposit at the bank and the teller examines your 310 bills most care­ fully It is because he is looking for the spurious notes about which the Federal Government Reserve Bank recently issued a warning.You had better look over the 310 federal re­ serve notes quite carefully yourself before accepting them as the Imita­ tions are circulating in this section and counterfeit money Is poor stuff to have in your possession. A special warning has been sound­ ed from Hartford and other nearby towns where some of these notes have been taken in the regular rou­ tine of business. Here is the way you can detect the bogus ones: On the face of the notes in the right hand lower cor­ ner appears the plate number D333 and on the back of the note, at the right haul corner of the panel con­ taining the words “ten dollars," appears plate number 880. These numbers are both in very fine figures and you will have to look carefully to find them. The fake notes bear the portrait of Jackson and are signed with the names of W. A. Mellon, secretary of the treasury, and Frank White treasurer of the Unit- •r* If you are offered a -flO federal reserve note, look to sec that it does not bear the above plate numbers. If it does, compare it with a similar note bearing other numbers. The counterfeits are an imperfect imita­ tion and easily -detected if carefully compared with a genuine note of the same denomination.

A man was driving with his wife and ran Into a bridge before he saw that another automobile had started across. It was a narrow bridge, and his plain duty was to back off. But his wife seized the lever so he could­ n't reverse and proceeded to give the driver of the other car a tongue lashing for daring to try to cross at such a time. Her indignation rose at the thought of his arrogance, and she said what she thought. When tho unoffending driver was convinced of his criminality and gen­ eral unfitness to live among civilized people he backed off the bridge and let the woman's husband proceed. As he passed the culprit he said: "Sorry, old man. and thank you." The other replied: "Oh,, don’t apologize. I’ve one at home my­ self."

There will be the regular town­ ship ticket, which will be handed to every voter at each precinct, and on which he will vote for the candidates of his preferment, as he has been accustomed to do in the years past: Then— He must declare his choice of bal­ lot as between the two parties, if he will do any more voting. There will be a republican party ticket which will give republicans an opportunity of expressing their choice for the re­ publican nominee for president, as between President Calvin Coolidge. Hiram W. Johnson of California, and William G. Simpson. We’ve heard that name before, somewhere. Let’s see, wasn’t he a candidate four years ago for something? Believe he was. Well, anyway, his name's on the ticket and you can vote tor him if you want to. Frankly, it looks to xus like a joke, about on a par with Baird’s Hiram Johnson of Zilwaukee. For the democratic voters there will be a democratic party ticket, on which the voter may express his preference as between Senator Wood­ bridge N. Ferris and'Henry Ford. Then— The voter will also draw a special ballot on which to express his choice for national committee­ man for his party. On the republi­ can ticket appears the names of Paul A. Martin, a Battle Creek newspaper man and a past state commander of the American Legion, along with James E. Davidson, who is a promi­ nent Saginaw financier, and tout of Frank A. Rasch. If you know who Rasch is you have us beaten a city block. On the democratic ticket, if that is your choice, you will find the names of Evelyn S. Mershon, an un­ married lady of Saginaw, who is well and favorably known. She was the first president of the Saginaw County Democratic Women's club, which has- been a strong organiza­ tion. She is said to be an excep­ tionally well qualified woman. There is also the name of Mrs. Etta C. Boitwood. who is a prominent and popular Grand Rapids lady, who been president of the Kent county Demo­ cratic Woman's club. Also the name of William A. Comstock, of Detroit, but formerly of Alpena. We under­ stand the democrats are to elect two committeemen, a man and a woman, in which case Mr. Comstock is jolly well landed already, while the ladies will fight it out. The foregoing will give .you some sort of an idea of what you are go­ ing up against when you go to the polls next Monday, so you can have your mind made up and not have to spend' more than an hour or so In the booth studying what to do. Now go to it. W. L. C. ENJOYS A "BIRD DAY" PIUKiRAM. The Women's Literary club met at the library Tuesday. April 1. The business session was presided over by the president. Mrs. Belle Everts. Mrs. Jessie Wenger .was hostess. A "Bird Day" program was car­ ried out.

It hap­ pened Thursday morning, when Frank built a fire in the stove at the market. Frank has a pet cat which Is very playful and full of mischief. So when Frank opened the door of the stove, the kitten jumped in the minute Frank’s back was turned. Frank came back an armpii of corn cobs and threw them into the stove, doused a cupful of kerosene oil on the cobs snd threw In a match. "Whiz!” Something flew past Frank’s head so fast he thought the old stove had staged an explosion, but it proved to be the pet kitten, minus about halt Its beauti­ ful coat of fur, and the gyrations that pet kitten went through before it found an open door and made its exit to the wide spaces were some­ thing wonderful to behold. And in spite of all his efforts, Frank has as yet been unable to regain that kit­ ten’s confidence and love. It seem­ ingly regards its former loving mas­ ter as an outcast and an outlaw and will have nothing whatever to do with him.

It was becoming clear that De Witt's lawyer meant to allege conspiracy on the part of Winton and Seaton against the syndicate. Winton followed with a brief account of the events that had occurred on the night of the robbery, and the evidence of two or three, sub­ sidiary witnesses followed. When Seaton was placed In the wit­ ness-box the excitement reached fever pitch.

The railroads consider it a compliment that Michigan always ex­ pects good railroad service, even complaining occasionally, it mid-winter trains vary from fair-weather schedules. The expenses of this service under storm ebnditions are always excessive—and the state pays no part of the bill as it does for highway snow clearing.

CO-OPERATIVE COMPANY ELECTS DIRECTORS ANNUAL MEETING GIVES KMPHATIC EVIDENCE OF CONFI­ DENCE IN OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. President Gardner anti Secretary Olmstead Both Returned to IMrectors. The adjourned annual meeting of the Nashville Co-Operative company, the stock-shipping association, was held at the Park theatre Saturday afternoon, and was well attended, in spite of the bad roads. The meet­ ing was called to order by President L. D. Gardner, and Secretary Olm­ stead read the report of the proceed­ ings of the previous meeting. E. V. Smith gave the gathering a report of the status of affairs in regard to the attitude of the bonding company to­ ward making good on the shortage in the funds of the company, assuring them that the company would un­ doubtedly see that the matter was taken care of promptly. A proposition to call tbs .roll of all members of the association was voted down. A motion that no man should be elected a director who was a director in either of the other two Nashville co-operative associations was carrlea. but was later rescinded, as was also a motion that all directors be elect­ ed annually for a one-year term oniy, which would necessitate a change in the by-laws. Chester Smith was elected a direc­ tor in place of R. B. Hayes Tleche, resigned. * L. D. Gardner was re­ elected to succeed himself. E. D. Olmstead was unanimously elected to succeed himself. Both gentlemen most feelingly expressed their thanks to the gathering for the Confidence placed in them, and pledged their best endeavors for the welfare of the Mf. Olmstead reviewed the present financial standing of the company, and gave assurance that the skies were brightening and that there was good reason to believe that they would soon he on a sound footing arain. with funds that wen coming from the bonding company, the Mich­ igan Central on freight claims and from bonus from the Detroit live stock association. County Agent F. W. Bennett made a good talk on co-operation, and talks were also made by Robert Mar­ tin, Dave Marshall, L. C. DeBolt and others, and the meeting adjourned. BELOVED PHYSICIAN SUFFERS SEVERE STROKE. Universal sorrow descended upon the people of Nashville and vicinity Tuesday when it was learned that Dr. F. F. Shilling had suffered a se­ vere paralytic stroke and that his condition was serious. The doctor had returned the lat­ ter part of the week from Tiro, Ohio, where he had been visiting his fath­ er, and had been about as usual, vis­ iting his patients until Monday afnoon, when he was taken ill. He went to bed and Dr. E. T. Morris was called, who determined that the ill­ ness was of a serious nature and sent at once for a trained nurse to take charge of the case. Tuesday afternoon, soon after noon, the pa­ tient was taken worse and Drs. Mor­ ris and Brown were summoned, who found that the entire right side was paralyzed, the stroke being a severe one. All possible medical attention is being given and the best of care, and it is hope an improvement in condition will soon be shown. Mrs. Varner Bower of Detroit, the Doctor’s eldest daughter, came at once, accompanied by her husband, to be at her father’s bedside, and the younger daughter. Miss Mildred, came yesterday morning, bringing with her a Detroit specialist, who found ihe local physicians were do­ ing everything possible in the case. The entire community is hoping for good news and that the beloved doctor may soon be on the mend. t MISSIONARY. The M. E. Missionary society met with Mrs. S. E. Powers Friday after­ noon.

X-Ray Examination Disclosed Brok­ en Hip and Badly (.'rushed Chest, Besides Other Internal Injuries. Adrian Gibson, who met with a severe accident Tuesday of last week, in falling from a barn at the George O. Dean farm in Maple Grove, passed away at Butterworth hospital at Grand Rapids Thursday afternoon at 6:30, his injuries proving even more severe than were at first thought. He was taken to Grand Rapids Wednesday morning that the full extent of his injuries might be deter­ mined by an x-ray examination. It was known that his hip was broken, but the examination under the ma­ chine disclosed that his chest was crushed in and that his internal in­ juries were so severe that there was no possibility of his recovery. Adrian Gibson was one of the most highly respected citizens of the com­ munity. He was quiet and unas­ suming, but he was earnest and sin­ cere, a good citizen, a model hus­ band and father, a skilled mechanic and an indefatigable worker, the sort of a citizen no community can afford to lose. Mr. Gibson was a native of Maple Grove township, a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gibwon. pioneer residents. He would have been 52 years of age on the 18th of April. He was mar­ ried in' 1895 to Miss Alice Dunn, and three children have been born to them, two of whom, George and Ray, survive. The funeral was held at the Evangelical church Monday af­ ternoon and the large attendance and the profusion of beautiful flow­ ers testified to the esteem in which he was held. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. T. G. Lewis of Battle Creek, an old friend of the deceased, and the remains were plac­ ed in the mausoleum at Lakeview, to receive interment later at the Barryville cemetery. The W. C. T. U. met with !Mn. Cassie Winans Thursday, April with a large attendance. Meeting conducted as usual. Opened by prayer. Roll call. Secretary's re­ port. All business taken care of.

Mrs. Cassie Winans and Mrs. Cora Cruso sang a duet, accom­ panied by Mrs. Mabel Marshall at the organ. Gerldine Hecker recited ‘"The Cigarette Boy” in a pleasing way that won applause. This was followed by a song, lullaby, by El­ eanor Parrott, which all enjoyed. Lawrence Hecker gave a recitation, "The New George Washington”, in an energetic and impressive way that convinced his hearers that he had talent along that line. Mrs. Minnie Thomas read an acticle on the ciga­ rette law: "That we were liable to arrest if we even allowed a minor to smoke a cigarette in our yard or on our property" was a part of the law. Next was a song ."Ring, Ring, Jubilee Bells.*' I The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Alice Pennock April 17. Lead­ er. Mn. Jennie Whitlock.

DEANE THE STORE FOR LAD AND DAD You know It's an absolute fact that every young man wants style In hats or caps.

IN NASHVILLE It is Here and here only, can your dollars do ‘'Double Duty.” Second ly, not only do your dollars go farthest, but—by trading here and keeping those dollars at home—you're contributing to our fair city's PROGRESS and PROSPERITY. First, they'll always get you the necessities of life at a lower cost than you could buy them for elsewhere. The personal interest our merch­ ants take in each patron to see that he or she is always satisfied—often sacrificing profit—makes it possible. More schools, more churches, better streets, better lighting systems.— in general, a more attractive city—are only possible when every cltlsen puts his or her “shoulder to the wheel” and "pushes” with their "home spent" dollars. , We, the undersigned business and professional interests, always have and always will be strong for anything that is good for the community But, remember, we need-YOUR CO-OPERATION FARMERS' CO-OPERATIVE CREAMERY ASSOCIATION IL A.

The Olivet College players had a fair house foi their play Friday eve­ nlag. All bad their parts perfect­ ly. The impersonations were ex­ ceptionally good and as a whole it was highly commendable. Mr. and Mrs. Hart Stramm drove over from Hastings Saturday, bring­ ing Mrs. John McPherson home with them, who Is far from well of her peculiar affliction. Sunday they un­ joyed a family dinner at the home. Snnday morning as Mr. and Mrs. Price were coming to church their horse became frightened at a stump beside the road, swinging the bug­ gy squarely around and over a gate that was partly open, which threw them both out with such force as to hurt Mrs. Price quite severely and Mr. Price somewhat.

John Hoffman has rented the brick house and will move in as soon as it can be put Into shape. Geo. Crellar and family were down Sunday. Walter Grant’s sister and __ her daughter were ont from Detroit on a visit last week. Clyde Mast was down from Lansing on a visit also. There seems to be a general lay­ ing off of hands in the city shops, due not so much from a shortage of work as to reduction in prices, which is going to necessitate a cut in wages that is inevitable. We received a telegram Monday, announcing the sndden death at her home in Illinois of the cousin, Mrs. Woolridge, who was visiting ns last fall. The L. A. 8. fed better than one hundred at their election day din­ ner and the nfeple sugar social en- joyed a nice patronage during the evening for <8.00 worth. As was expected, the office of town treasurer drew all of the fire of elec­ tion day, with Vern Bradley winning the only democratic place on the ticket. The vote: Supervisor, Leon Bromberg, r, 14’5; Geo. Fred, d, 98; Clerk—Bhlrloy Southern, r, 157; Frank Radebaugh, d, 88; Treasurer —Roy Hough, r, 81; Vern Bradley, d; 148; Highway Commissioner— Ed.

Of the town ticket, there were 244 votes cast of which, 73 were straight republican and 61 straight democrat. Of the split tickets,^61 were republican, 27 dem­ ocratic and 22 of no party head, the smallest vote we have had in four years any way and still there was an unusual number of ladies voting.

Brown, H. P. a (By Ed. A. Nowack.) Lansing, Mich, April 3.—If Michi­ gan was all there was to this union she could exist as an isolated em­ pire, for an Indefinite period, due to: her wonderful resources, manufac­ turing and agriculture. If you are proud of your home state cut this out and send It to your friends in other states. It won’t hurt MlchlMichigan ranks highest in educa­ tion among the North Central states. She has the oldest agricultural col­ lege and the first university. The University of Michigan was the first state university to admit women. Our' major educational Institutions are located at Ann Arbor, East Lansing, Ypsilanti, Mt. Pleasant, Marquette, Kalamazoo and Houghton. Then, too. there are eight denominational colleges. Our scenic beauties are unsurpass­ ed. We boast upwards of 5,000 lakes, innumerable streams, the best of hunting and fishing, and count­ less summter resorts. Winter sports are coming into their own. Our tourist business in 1922 totalled 340,000,000. No other inland fish­ eries compare to those In Michigan. Our annual lake fish catch runs into the millions of pounds and is worth millions in money. Condit'ons of health In Michigan are excellent. Forty-three counties now have public health nurses. Vis­ itors to the state are given every pre­ caution to guard their health. Only four states in the union have a lower tuberculosis death rate than Michi­ gan and they are non-industrial states. Michigan was tho first state to complete a county wide campaign for the eradication of bovine tuber­ culosis. She organized the first cow testing association to determine milk production. She has the larg­ est number of registered purebred stallions. Michigan has longer growing sea­ sons, considering the latitude, than any North Central state. She stands ' out in the production of quality seeds of all kinds. In agriculture she produces hay. corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, beans, sugar beets, rye. barley, buckwheat and — seetfs. cabbage, onions, celery, cucumbers and other vegetables. In fruit we have cherries, peaches, apples, grapes, plums, pears and berries. In miner­ als we have iron, copper, coal, salt, gypsum, gravel, clay, marl and lime­ stone. Our manufactured products list autos, furniture, lumber, drugs, chemicals, paper, beet sugar, cloth­ ing, machinery, refrigerators, flour, cereals, leather goods, dairy pro­ ducts. furs, canned goods, fishing tackle, limestone products. Michigan ranks first in honey qual­ ity, first in cucumbers, mint, chicory, white beans and small fruits; second In all beans, commercial apples, to­ tal apples and raspberries; fourth in buckwheat, strawberries, butter sold, celery and maple sugar; fifth In pears, late cabbage, blackberries and butterfat sold: sixth In late onions; eighth in tame hay and canned peas. We are the world’s chief source of supply tor peppermint and spear­ mint oils. We rank first In salt, chemical products, drugs, autos, en­ gines. threshing machines and re­ frigerators; second in Iron, fourth in copper and seventh in population. Our last official stand of timber was 39 billions of feet, twice that of Wisconsin. Seed potatoes of Michigan are be ing sent to Pennsylvania. Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, New York and other states south because our climatic and soil conditions produce potatoes of high-producing potentialities. Sections In Michigan produce flax equal to that grown in Ireland. At Calumet is the world’s largest cop­ per mine, the richest belt of rock producing pure copper. At Ala­ baster Is a gypsum deposit with the largest open faced quarry in the world. It contains enough gypsum to supply plaster |o care for con­ struction in this country for the next 200 years. The steel trade of Amer­ ica is dependent upon Michigan’s rich ore deposits. We make more cement from marl than any other state. We have the largest and purest sand glass deposits known. The Detroit river Is the greatest maritime thoroughfare in the world. The Soo canal is the world’s great­ est waterway. We have water com­ munication with seven other states and we have 31 government improv­ ed harbors and many more improved at local expense. There are 91 places in Michigan where the differ­ ent railroads touch the shore line. We have special livestock market­ ing facilities In Detroit, likewise the largest manufacturing chemists in the world In that city. We have the most celebrated furniture city in the country. WTe have a school for the blind at Lansing, for the deaf at Flint, the state public school at Cold­ water which was the first state school in the worlc^ for Indigent chil­ dren. Saginaw supplies the graphite for seven-eighths of lead pencils made in foreign countries. Breakfast foods and other cereal preparations are made in Battle Creek. ’The silk factory at Belding is one of the largest In the world. Kalamazoo has the largest book paper factory in the world and It is also known as the “celery dty” of which she raises a better quality than any oth­ er state. We have 83 tanneries, a large number of canneries, the world's largest chemical plant at Midland. Our area is 57,980 square miles, excluding 40,000 square miles of water surface. We are the second largest state In land area east of the Mississippi. Together the upper and lower peninsulas are equal in size to England and Wales combined. We have a shore line of 1624 miles, longest of any state, 8,788 miles of steam roads, 1,000 miles of electric lines, about 75,000 miles of roads and highways of which 14,000 Is im­ proved.

In modern days the prosperity of a community depends upon the amount of money in circulation In that community. If a man goes to a nearby city to buy a suit of clothes the money he pays for the suit is ALL taken out of the town. It Is gone, and the town doesn't see It again. But if he buys the suit from a home dealer the wholesale cost only goes out of town. The merchant's profit and overhead expense re­ mains in the home town. Figured on the basis of a single suit tor a single individual, it amounts to nothing of importance, but if multiplied into hundreds and thousands of suits, and other articles of wearing apparel, and shoes, and hardware, and millinery, and farm implements, and building supplies, and all of the other articles that en­ ter into our dally life, It can readily be seen that the two Items of over­ head expense and profits, if all kept at home by the patronizing of home dealers, would mean an enormous amount of money kept in circula­ tion right here in our own commun­ ity. And YOU would get a part of that money. It’s worth thinking over, because it pays to trade at home.

The little girl backed into the open hole and went down into the furnace. Mrs. Roady could not reach the child and franti­ cally ran into the street for help. The child was rescued with little delay. The only thing that saved the child’s life was the fact the fire was quite low and was just beginning to get a start at the time of the accident.— Durand Express.

Clark, former St. Johns clothier and now senior member of the firm of Clark. Beach & Aultman, amuses himself evenings by “listen­ ing in" on the various radio grams around the country. Thursday evening Mr. Clark and family were enjoying the concert from station GMC at Memphis, Tenn. Between numbers the announcer would read telegrams from various points in the country which stated tho program was "coming in fine," and before each nur-.ber a steamboat whistle would sound. Mr. Clark re­ marked to his son, R. G., "I believe those telegrams are all bunk. I wish they would put on that Dream Daddy song again." R. G. quietly slipped out of the room and tele­ phoned to Al. Miller Western Union operator at the G. T. station. "1 want you to lake a wire to station G. M. C. In care of the Commercial Appeal at Memphis, Tenn." R. G. told Miller. "All righ! fire away." said Miller. "All right! fire away," said sent. "Send your 'steamboat up to Michigan with "Dream Daddy," R. G. Clark and party, St. Johns, Mich. R. G. quietly slipped back into tho room and listened to the songs that were coming in. Just eighteen min­ utes later the announcer at Memphis said, ‘Here’s a telegram from St. Jobs, Michigan; says the program is coming fine; wants us to send the steamboat up with "Dream Daddy." All right, Mr. Clark, the steamboat tn on its way." Then followed the song that the senior Clark liked so well. Explanations followed In which R. G. told the fsmlly what he had done during bls brief absence from the room. Sears now admits that probably most of the telegrams are bona fide and that "the world do move."—Clinton County Republican.

Tho gavel fell again. “Mr. Brown, you will abstain from suggesting the existence of other re­ lations between tho defendant and Mr. De Witt," said the judge. There followed an animated discus­ sion. The jury, who had been follow­ ing the evidence Intently, looked bored and disappointed, and paid no atten­ tion to the dispute. “De Witt promised me he'd leave me alone,” continued Beaton, when he was permitted to resume. “But after we’d begun to excavate anyone who knew anything about diamonds could see that the main pipe was either on our claim or pretty nigh us. Then Van Vorst came to me and said Mr. Gar­ rett was green to the business and there was a chance to make money. I refused, and sent him away. “He come back, and he was always after me, trying to get me to drink, but I was trying my hardest to make good to Mr. Garrett. At last he come to me and said De Witt was behind him, and the syndicate behind De Witt, and if I come to heel there’d be good money In It, but If I didn't De Witt would stick hla knife In me. I knew what that meant." “What did It mean?” asked Brown. "1 object to that question," shouted De Witt’s lawyer.

"Aye, I’ll telL That’s what I come for,” answered Beaton, fixing his eyes on De Witt, who returned his stare with a sneering smile. Al this juncture all eyes were, turned, with a simultaneous impulse, toward Judge Davis In the gallery.

"There’s more to the story by a d—n sight," he shouted. “You’ve heard that much, and now ril tell the reetr “You can be heard »at the proper time, Mr. De Witt!" cried the judge angrily. x “There’s no time like this," an­ swered De Witt defiantly, striding forward. “Put me In the wdtneaebox I” he shouted to Brown. "Put me there If you dare, and I’ll tell the jury the rest of It." Brown, nonplused over thia new de­ velopment, hesitated. But a glance at the face* of the jury showed him that he could not decline the chal­ lenge. He nodded to Seaton, who stepped down. De Witt entered the box. The clerk banded him the testa­ ment, but De Witt brushed it aside, and now, so keen was the Interest, even die presiding judge failed to no­ tice the irregularity.

To those on the floor of the oourtroom Judge Davis looked at that moment the very type of the Pharisee. But some of those near him In the gallery noticed that the old man's eyes had In them a look of strained horror, as If he was ex­ pecting some dreadful revelation. ‘Tm done with you now !” cried De Witt flinging out his arm with a sweeping gesture. “He knew what I was doing for him; be knew from the finst to last every bit of the dirty work that nobody else would do.

He saw Judge Davis lifted and carried out by bis support­ ers; sew De Witt, his face twitching nervously at the verdict stride from "What did you do with the woman?" the courtroom; then he was pushing shontad De Witt, springing to hla feet his own way outside among the exold Seaton moving slowly among the crowd, which parted to make way for the man whose tragedy affected them with horror. “Where are you going, Daddy? asked one man, trying to stop him. Tm going to And my gal," mumbled Beaton. “She’s been all Tvs had. Maybe I ain’t her father, but I’m going Slowly he walked away, and nobody attempted to stop him. Winton, after a moment of doubt, realized that it would be useless for him to interfere. He watched Seaton’s 'departure with a mind that was too numbed to enable him to understand the fullness of his success. There .was no doubt that the legality of the syndicate's acquisition of his shares could now be questioned. Ho could regain the majority and keep control,, if Seaton’s acquittal were followed, as It must be, by De Witt’s arrest and his conviction. But there was more than that Win­ ton began to realize, in a dazed sort of way, that the disclosure had given him Sheila. He knew she loved him, in spite of all her bitterness In the past He would go to her, make her ills wife, and take her heme to bls own country, where the past should never trouble her. He was brooding over this when be beard two revolver shots ring out in quick succession. Looking up, he dis­ covered that he was alone. The crowd was running toward the south side of the square, where there seemed to be some commotion. Winton saw a struggle In progress; the heaving shoulders of a horse appeared above the crowd; and suddenly the horse and Its rider emerged at a furious gallop, scattering the crowd right and left Through the gap thus formed Win­ ton could see a man lying upon the ground, resting on his elbow, Hl* hand clutched a revolver. Tho rider was De Witt. Amid the yells of the mob he dashed in a cloud of dust across the market square and turned down the street leading to the new suburb. The horse bounded across the rivulet, topped the ridge of the diamond ground, and disappeared. The fallen man was being helped to his feet. He staggered tn the arms of h!s supporters, and the blood WM streaming from a bullet-wound in his shoulder. Winton gathered what had occurred from the excited conversation that followed. The sheriff had attempted to arrest De Witt on the strength of n court order hastily secured. De Witt, who had had a swift horse ready outside, in the anticipation of Just such a contingency, had shot the sheriff and galloped away. So swift was the maneuver that Malopo found itself totally unable to cope with the situation. There was wild talk of forming a poaao to pur­ sue the outlaw. But De Witt’s horse was the fastest in Malopo, and. as in the case of Van Vorst, pursuit seemed Impracticable. While an impromptu mass meeting was being held Winton made his way back to the claim. He understood now all that the verdict meant to him. and the thought of Sheila filled his heart. It was growing dark. Barty the next morning he meant to ride out into the hills and bring her back with him, and they should never be parted again. He thought with infinite pity of her sufferings, with tenderness of her loyalty. It seemed most fit that his lips should be the first to tell her what would remove the dark cloud from her forever. As Winton turned Into the road that Ing tn his voice In the least like a quaver. “ “That day I came to you for the loan?" “About gaining the whole world and losing, one’s soul? Mr. Garrett, I lost my soul long ago. I thought Td gained the whole world, but It’s all slipped away—It’s all slipped “You’ve found what you wanted most, judge.” said Winton, pitying the old man with all bls heart "You've found your daughter." And suddenly the conviction was borne in upon him that the old queen of the village was Davis' wife. The shock of tlie realization was paralyz­ ing. He sold nothing of this—how could he tell him that his wife was living? He said nothing as the judge went on: “Yes, Tvs found her. I’ve been a fool and I’ve been punished, but all the past Is finished now. I used to pray, Mr. Garrett, that God’s ven­ geance might overtake the mother; but God must have dealt with her years ago, and it’s myself He’s taken vengeance on. Aye, He's mocked me and made a fool of me. But Fm going to find my girl and take her away. I know where ahe is. She's living with Nknma's tribe, up In the hills. My God, to think of my child living like an outcast among the Kafirs!" He stood up and clenched his fists furiously. “I was face to face with Seaton today, and I didn't kill him.” he eald. "Let him cross my path again and he'll dlel" “He didn't know,” said Winton. “He wronged we. He brought all this on ma. That snake De Witt is nothing.

"Judge, DI go, and I’ll bring her to yoTi." said Winton, wondering bow this new development would affect his plans. TH go with you^ Mr. GarretJ. Hl be here on .................................. horseback at six In the morning. That’s what I came to tell Then I’ll be ready. Judge," said Winton. The old man went out silently, leav­ ing Winton pondering still more deep­ ly. But he realized that Judge Davis’ claim was prior to his own. And he tried to view the matter unselfishly, though a fierce Jealousy tortured him ut the thought that he, who had stood by the girl In her extremity, should have to yield to the man who had persecuted her. When he went out early in the morning Judge Davis was Just turn­ ing into the compound. He was mounted on a big bay, and appeared much the same as usual. Winton, who had been a little ajarmed at his appearance the night txjfore, was re­ assured. He saddled his horse and mounted, and the two rode silently out Into the desert. fiery clouds. There were pools of rain everywhere, and the freshness of the air was a delightful contrast to the long drought Cloud-banks ware al­ ready heaping up in the sky. but there was not likely to be another downpour until nightfall; the first rains are not continuous, as In later weeks. The day promised Intei^e beat, but the long, rolling ridges of the desert had already a sub-tinge of green. Hour after hour, the two men rode side by side. Occasionally Winton ventured some remark, but the judge hardly answered him; he was brood­ ing. with bls bead sunk on bls breast. Winton was lost In •*"earns of Sheila. After a long time, in the broiling heat of the noon sun. he saw the faint out­ lines of the distant bills before him. First they were a blue line against the sky, than a patch of green against the brown of the desert He pointed them out to bls companion, but the judge only looked up, nodded, and re­ sumed bls brooding. Presently he raised his head, and Winton was alarmed to see the light of the deadly purpose in bls •yes. “He’ll make for there, Garrett," even so, somewhere the reality ex­ isted; and Winton, more puzzled than ever, followed it with his eyes as he rode on, wondering when it would dis­ appear. It did not disappear. The entire herd seemed moving in the di­ rection of the hills, now about four miles away, traveling almost parallel with the horses, yet with sufficient in­ clination to make ft probable that. If it were Indeed a reel her^ It would pass Into the valley toward which the riders were making. At last Winton called the judge's attention to the flock. But Judge Da­ vis, seeming hardly to be aware of bls presence, shook himself Impa­ tiently and rnde on. Immersed In his morbid Introspection. The flock appeared to keep pace with the horses, and It was now clearly converging toward the pass. Winton, watching It, abandoned the Idea that it was a mirage. Yet it could not possibly be any man's flock. There were hundreds of thousands of the animals, nxivlng, apparently, without herdsmen. The valley opened before them. Winton recognized his location; the native village was not far away. The riders were already ascending Into the foothills. As they rounded one of the bases of the mountain chain Winton looked back, and saw the herd much nearer. Then It was lost to sight, and h# thought no longer of the prodigy In thinking of Sheila. They rode along the winding pass, ascending, descending, until at last the cluster of beehive huts appeared In the distance. I Suddenly Winton saw timt Judge Davis was clutching a revolver in his hand. The sight shocked him but less than the look which Davis' face had now assumed. If Seaton was in the vfl' Inge there would be murder. Winton tried to take the weapon gently from Davis* hand; but with an adroit movement, as if be bad been on guard all the time, the Judge wrenched hlm। self away, and suddenly spurred the horse he rode, which darted on ahead down the valley. | As Winton followed half a dozeci antelope came bounding post him. and. i glancing back for a mometat, he saw I that a straggling band was following them. They had short, lyrate horns, white faces, and rufous bodies. And then he understood what the herd sig­ nified. The herd was not sheep, but ante­ lope—springbuck. It was. In feet, one of the periodical migrations of these animals, of which Winton had heard. After a drought, when the rain falls, they travel from the inte­ rior In countless numbers tn search of water, turning aside for nothing, pass­ ing even through populous cities. Herds of half a million have been enI countered. '.I And what had looked like tn orderly progression, seen at a great distance, was a succession of the gigantic leaps that have given the animal Its name. The springbuck were streaming Into | the valley, jumping to a height of ten । or a dozen feet, and jostling against the riders’ horses, as If devoid of fear. Winton galloped through the ad­ vance guard In pursuit of Davis, who was far in advance of him and near­ ing the village. He emerged out of the pass suddenly, almost Into the middle space among the beehive huts. The village appeared deserted, ex­ cept for an old man and an aged woman who had crouched over the embers of a dying fire. The woman was the old queen of the tribe; the nan was Seaton. He rose and faced Davis. ' Winton saw the judge's band tight­ en upon his revolver. But suddenly the weapon was lowered. The judge was looking Into the old woman's face; hla own seemed to become rigid as a plaster cast, and he noticed Seaton no longer. “So It Is you, Amy?" he said. “I have found you at last?* "Yes, It Is L" answered the woman In a strange guttural voice, speaking as If the words were difficult to pro­ nounce. I “I have come to take you home, mv my rliMirdear; you nrul and the child" child." "Home?" mumbled the old woman. ‘‘Home," the judge repeated Impa­ tiently, passing his hand across hla forehead. “How long ago It seems since you went away I You must have been ill, I think. Or perhaps It Is L Bring our baby; I want to see her. What did we call her? I have forgotten." 1I "I “I forget what we called her," en­ '■ iwered the old iwoman; “but ahe Is I called Shelia now.” "A pretty name," answered the Judge, Aj he spoke, Sheila came out of one * the huts She fixed her eyes on Winton in Inquiry; be could see that Beaton had told her the truth.

Competition between the Nash­ ville and Hastings base ball teams has been unusually keen for several years past, and their first game for this season, held Friday afternoon at Riverside park, as usual attracted a good crowd of fans. And despite the inclement weather, the specta­ tors derived no little enjoyment from watching the local lads trounce their opponents with a 7 to 2 score. The teams appeared to be very evening matched with the exception of the batteries, and in this respect Nashville had a good margin of ad­ vantage. Sprague on the mound with Johnson receiving form a com­ bination that mighty few schools the size of Nashville's can equal, and on a number of occasions they bad the Hastings players looking foolish both at bat and on the bases. Due to lack of practice and the unfavorable weather fumbles were frequent, but it would have been a close game had not the Hastings team blown up completely in the second inning. Two hits, two free passes to first together ’ with four errors gave Nashville six tallies in this inning, and three safe hits bunched in the seventh netted one more. Hastings scored once in the third and once in the sixth, the lat­ ter tally being in the nature of a gift, as Ryan scored from third after. Johnson had left the plate thinking three men had been retired. The figures for the game follow: , Nashville AB R “ H " Townsend. 3rd Hickey, ss ... Springett, 2d Johnson, c. .

Tuesday's game at Riverside park with the boys from the Michigan In­ dustrial school at Lansing resulted in another victory for Nashville, the score standing 13 to 5. The vis­ itors boasted of but one real ball player, "Bozo," a diminutive colored lad who did the twirling and dished up a nice assortment of curves. He couldn’t win the game alone, how­ ever, and his teammates’ errors made the contest a one-sided affair. The, next game on the schedule is at Middleville on Friday afternoon of this week.

Over­ night, it seems, buildings rise— new streets appear. And the thousands of new homes and great buildings in­ crease the problems of the public service companies. This Company attempts to fore­ see the great growth of service demand and extends its plant in­ to new districts as rapidly as pos­ sible, in an effort to most efficient­ ly serve the people of Michigan. However, sudden unforeseen popula­ tion and industrial growth frequently make it impossible to furnish utility service at all points immediately upon demand. Hundreds of new telephones are wanted. The Telephone Company’s prob­ lem is the same as that of the water, sewer, gas, electric, street, and school services. But Telephone Plant expansion is breaking all records. Thousands of new instruments are being installed, miles of newcircuits are being built and additional exchange facilities are being provided, to meet the call for service; Everything possible is being done to provide service for all who desire it.

Some ties were piled on the track, about 25 yards apart, Yanks behind one pile, rebs behind the other, and in the quiet of early morning we could converse across the bridge easily. One night I went down tp fish and not 40 feet from me a man asked If the 5th N. H. was over there. I said "Yes, in my brigade.” He asked if there was a man in that regiment by the name of Ambrose Matthews, and If I would go and see him and tell him if be would come down that night he would take a chew of to­ bacco with him. I went to camp, found my man and came back. It was now near midnight. We made a noise and Mr. Johnny came out. I said "Your man is here.” He swam across and they were own brothers. Mr. Johnny deserted the rebel army that night and went to camp ^ith rated in his brother and enlisted next day- in Union forces. ts Purity] theWe had an old canal boat in the called the Stepping Stone, and Package\ river, it was anchored in the middle of the stream for a bridge. We had a lit­ tle steamboat on the river and we had two small cannon on the deck. It would go out around a poftt, and shell their lines. When they got onr range, we dropped back behind a bluff. The Johnnies planned to get that boat. They sent 700 or 800 WRKLEYS Jitter every meal r men with a battery of six guns to do the job. In some way our men got wind of tbe affair and sent a regiment of Infantry across on the bridge, got quietly in behind the I Johnnies and followed them. Just before they got ready to fire on the little steamer they were called on to surrender and they did so. This was in 1863, . In a few days Longrtreet left with his command.

House Bill H. R. 7111. Introduced by Congressman John C. Ketcham, passed the house on Wednesday, Ap­ ril 16. There is little doubt that it will also have the approval of the senate and become a part of the ffmchinery of the government. The bill provides for much extension ot the work of the Department of Agri­ culture In gathering and disseminat­ ing information regarding agricul­ tural production, competition, and demand in foreign countries in pro­ moting the sale of American farm products abroad, and in other ways is expected to prove of great aid to agriculture. Mr. Ketcham’s speech in favor of the bill was very favor­ ably received and Is made a part of the Congressional record. LIBRARY NOTES. The library has recently received two more splendid contributions. A liberal cash gift from a former Nashville resident. Mrs. Lydia Lath­ rop, and Geo. O. Dean has asked the library board to assist him In select­ ing a flag, which he expects to have placed in the library before decora­ tion day. That their gifts are all appreciated is shown by the in­ creasing number of people who pat­ ronize the library every Saturday. NOTICE. To members of Zion Chapter.

It is de­ sired to start work as early as possi­ ble. A. M., there will George E. Mitchell, for many years a resident of Nashville, where be was employed by the Lentz Table Co.,: until he retired about a year ago, was. struck by a fast train on the Michi-! gan Central tracks near Augusta Wednesday and instantly killed. He had left here the day before and was visiting his son Wayne at (Battle Creek. Wednesday evening Will Ire­ land received a phone call from Bat­ tle Creek, inquiring if Mr. Mitchell had returned here, as be had disap­ peared and they were worried about him. j. Thursday morning C. H. Tuttle, cashier of the Farmers & Merchants bank, was called by phone and in­ formed of the tragedy, the authori­ ties finding Mr. Mitchell’s bank book on his person, the only mark of Iden­ tification. The funeral was held at Battle Creek Sunday, and the remains were brought here for luterment at Lake­ view, the pall-bearers being former workmen with the deceased at the table factory. We clip the following account of the detail of the accident from Thursday’s Battle Creek Evening News: A fractured skull the result of be­ ing struck by a westbound Michigan Central train, ihe only mark upon his body, caused the instant death of George E. Mitchell, 56, of Nash­ ville, father of Wayne-Mitchell, 41 Blanch, last night at 9 o’clock at a crosslug one mile east of Augusta. The engineer of the train saw the man too late to stop, but applied the brakes hnd came to a halt soon after he was struck. Trainmen ran back to the injured man in time to see him breathe his last. His body was tak­ en into Augusta and the police de­ partment here notified. The sheriff of Kalamazoo county, in which the accident happened, was notified and coroner Cook of that county went to Augusta to view the remains. Af­ ter examination it was decided no in­ quest was necessary. Mr. Mitchell was last seen by bls son yesterday morning about 8 o’clock. Tuesday the father came to Battle Creek from Nashville to visit his son and yesterday morning ac­ companied him to work at the Na­ tional Storage and Cartage company on Barney street. Arriving at the warehouse the father told his son he was going for a walk, and left him. The son thought nothing of his father's going believing he would either return there or home. When evening came and the fath­ er di< not return the son became worried and began to inquire for him and at last believed he might have returned to his home in Nash­ ville. The accident happened at the crossing one mile east of Augusta in the rear of the Fred Lawrence farm. There was nothing on the man by which to identify him excepting a letter. As soon as this was found th4 police here were notified and at 4 o'clock this morning the son was told of the tragedy and went to Au­ gusta where Identification was made at the Charles Garrett undertaking parlors. Job* Wandered On. It is the belief of trainmen that the pilot of the engine struck Mr. Mitchell in the head. "I saw the man near the crossing,” the engineer is reported to have told officers. “He appeared to be confused by the head­ light. I immediately applied the brakes but was too near to stop.” That the man evidently went for a walk and wandered beyond Camp Custer is the belief of his son who told the Enquirer and News this morning that his father was very childish for his age and may have wandered away without knowing it. Mr. Mitchell lived alone at Nash­ ville. Surviving him is the son here in Battle Creek and three daughters as follows: Mrs. Charles McNaugh­ ton, Minneapolis; Mrs. Morgan Biggs, Detroit; and Mrs. Glen Stocking of Urbandale. Two sisters and a step­ brother are also living. They are: Mrs. Clarence Pearce, Mackinaw City; Mrs. Allen Lords, Chester, and Harry Scott, living on a farm near Hastings.

Barker of Bangor, for­ merly principal of Nashville schools, writes a letter of congratulation on Nashville organizing the new Com­ munity club. Mr. Barker has been secretary the past year of the Ban­ gor Chamber ot Commerce, and he has found it a busy job. He says the results accomplished by such a club "Are of two types, tangible and intangible. The completed projects will more than justify your efforts, but the results that can not be seen nor measured will be the greatest asset to your community. A better town spirit, closer cooperation be­ tween business men and a friendlier feeling between merchants and their customers are the big things that come to a town as the result of a community organisation. We shall always b« glad to read ot your suecesses, for we have a warm spot in our hearts for Nashville. Good luck to you and to the Nashville Commun­ ity Club.” PICKED UP ARMY DESERTER. Deputy Sheriff F. D. Green picked up a bit of easy money Thursday, when he captured Nelson Murray, a deserter from Camp Custer. He took Murray over to Custer and col­ lected 850 premium. Murray had been in trouble before. While sta­ tioned at a New Jersey camp he had a six-day furlough, but came to Mich­ igan and finally presented himself at Camp Custer, where. In view of the fact that he had voluntarily re­ turned to the army he was forgiven and transferred to Camp Custer. This last escapade, however, will be likely to make serious trouble for him. HIGH SCHOOL BALL TEAM WINS TWO MORE GAMES. The high school ball nine kept their slate clean the past week by winning two more games, one at Middleville Friday by a score of 14 to 0, and a seven inning contest at Vermontville Tuesday afternoon which resulted In a 7 to 2 score. The boys received their new uniforms in’ time for the Vermontville game, and present a very natty appearance In the blue and gray outfits. The next game will be played at Riverside park on Friday afternoon of this week, with Middleville high school furnishing the opposition. TOO Ml’CH HARD CIDER. Estel Warner of Stony Point was arrested Thursday night by Marshal Green and charged with being drank and disorderly. He was turned over to friends who took him home and he came down the next morning and plead guilty in Justice Martens’ court and paid a fine of |5, with costs ot |2.20. On Thursday evening of last week a reception was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Sunlor by the young friends and acquaintances of F. 8. Curtis, who just recently re­ turned from Canada with his bride. After spending the evening In mu­ sic, card-playing and social chat, a nresentation was made to Mr. and Mrs. Curtis of many useful and hand­ some gifts, and on behalf of the bride and himself, gratitude was shown by the groom in a few wellchosen words. Partaking of a dain­ ty luncheon, served by the hostess, brought the evening to a close, with many a good wish to the happy young couple for. a long and pros­ perous wedded life. Dale DeVine, Vern MePeck, Char­ ley Higdon, Ed. Woodard, Tom Kay, Elzey Laurent, Chester Smith and Percy Penfold were over to Charlotte Monday night attending a meeting of Charlotte lodge, K. of P., and wit­ nessed the exemplification of the “Lesson of.

W. Pennock, temporary president, and the constitution and by-laws as prepared by the committee to whom this work was delegated, was adopt­ ed, with some slight changes. The object ot the association, as provided in Article II of the constitution, is to “Promote the commercial, indus­ trial, moral and civic welfare of Nashville and its environs.” Any resident of Nashville or vicinity is eligible for membership, on the ap­ proval ot the board of directors. The expenpe of membership is the nomi­ nal sum of 12.00 per year, and the charge for the supper, which will be served at each meeting, will be 25 cents. This supper charge is paya­ ble 11.50 at the first supper, which entitles the member to enjoy the suppers for three months. This ad­ vance charge is made in order that the supper committees may know how many to provide for, for at the nominal charge of 25 cants, the sup­ per committee can not afford a great degree of waste. The meetings are to be held on the second and fourth Monday nights of each month, but there will be no reg­ ular supper meetings during July and Aggust, and the hour at which supper •will be served will be fixed by the board of directors, according to the season of the year. The officers and iirectors of the new association are as follows: President—C. W. Pennock. Vice President—Will G. Hyde. Secretary-Manager—Robert “SurIne. Secretary-Treasurer — Len Feighner. x Directors—Arthur Meade,, Fred Mayo, George C. Deane, Charles Feighner. Committees, appointed Iby the President, are as follows: Membership Committee: H. _ ____ D. Wotrlng, E. D. Olmstead, Frank Caley, Fred Hanes. H. A. Maurer, L. D. Gardner. John Martens, Seymour Hartwell. Entertainment Committee: C. L. Glasgow, Rev. George A. Osborne, Dr. E. T. Morris. Supper Committee: Vern Bera, C. H. Brown, E. E. Gibson. Special committee on observance of Memorial Day: Rev F. E. Putnam, G. E. Bersette, George C. Deane. More than sixty names were at­ tached to the membership list, and many of those who were compelled to leave early on account of lodge meetings and other business, are signing up. It is likely that there will be a total membership of well over one hundred on the charter list, as the charter list is to be open until June 1, in order to give all an opportunity to become charter mem­ bers. There was lively discussion of sev­ eral questions, particularly over the name of the association. R. C. Townsend suggested the name of “Our Community Club,” making the point It was not strictly a Nashville club, but a club for the entire com­ munity. Others urged ithat the word “Community” covered the ground argued against by Mr. Town­ send, as meaning the inclusion of the surrounding community, but Lew Gardner clinched the name by pro­ claiming that he^had lived in the country north of Nashville ever since he was “a barefoot boy" and that he was just as proud of Nash­ ville as though he lived In the vil­ lage and that he for one wanted to see the name “Nashville" included in the title. His remarks were greeted with hearty applause and the name goes as the "Nashviiie Community Club.” ■ There was a liberal sprinkling of fanners In the crowd and they Join­ ed heartily In Mr. Gardner's sugges­ tion and nearly every one of them attached his name to the charter list. -This organization, properly con­ ducted, will mean much to the peo­ ple of the entire community. It will mean closer friendships, better so­ cial relations, more comanunity gatherings, more clarity of alms and ideals, a larger, more cordial and more satisfactory community in er- NUMBER 41 gestions. Mr. C. L. Goodrich of the Michigan Department of (Public Instruction, following a recent visit to Nashville and a careful and thorough inspec­ tion of our school building, writes the <ollowing letter to Secretary Greenfield, which will be read with much interest by the people of Nash­ ville and vicinity. His suggestions and recommendations seem sensible and reasonable, and in the interest of educational progress should have careful consideration. Lansing, April 7, 1924. Mr. E. B. Greenfield, Sec'y Board ot Education, Dear Mr. Greenfield: As a representative of the Depart­ ment ot Public Instruction I visited your school system with a.view of considering your building needs. Your school building is a good one aud has been well preserved. However, through the growth of your city you have outgrown your present school facilities and a pro­ gram of building expansion is a ne­ cessity in the near, if not immediate, future. There Is a very crowded condition both in grades and high school. The first and second and third and fourth grade rooms have approximately sixty pupils each when the maximum for any teacher should be forty. This is especially true when the teacher has more than one grade in the room. The same conditions prevail in the fifth and sixth and sev­ enth and eighth grade rooms. These eight grades, with a total of about two hundred and thirty pupils, should be cared for by at least six teachers in at least six rooms. Cer­ tain primary grades are reciting in a basement room which is unfit for classroom purposes and should be abandoned. This room is used as a store room and dressing room and no classes should be held in it. The high school assembly room is inadequate, the high school class­ rooms are small, the library is not well located, the chemical laboratory should be on the upper floor near the high school instead of being placed In the basement, and there Is a great lack of wardrobe space. In my opinion the present ^chool building should house grades- only. If this plan is followed It will neces­ sitate the construction of an addi­ tion to the present building for high school purposes. I believe that an addition should be placed at the north of the present building so that the administration of the school sys- warmed actual itorium-gymnasium which can b» used both for school and general community purposes. I recommend that the board of education secure the services of a. competent architect with a view of having him make an estimate as to the cost and draw preliminary plans for the new school building which should be submitted to this Depart­ ment for approval. The people of Nashville will wish to know definite­ ly what they are voting for and what the appearance of the building will be before casting their vote on a bond issue. If, after this Is done, the people of Nashville refuse to vote the amount necessary to construct an addition to your present building there will bo two courses which may be followed temporarily. (1) The erection of,a portable school building on the school ground to take care of some of the grades. (2) The cutting of the grades to half-day sessions. Neither of these plans will meet your needs nor is desirable In any community except as an emergency procedure. Unless some action is taken to im­ prove the physical conditions of your school, I doubt whether the Nash­ ville school system can hope to be accredited by the University of Mich­ igan for many years in the, future. The Department sincerely hopes that some definite action will be taken by the board of education of the Nashville school district. We wish to assure you that if we can be of any assistance to you in the future, we desire to have you call upon us at any time. ■ Very sincerely yours, C. L. Goodrich, Department of High Schools.

Michigan owes much to its rail­ roads. Without the lumbering roads of northern Michigan, built by THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION private capital for the handling of Michigan's untold wealth of timber in lumbering days, much of the ter­ ritory north of Grand Rapids would still have been undeveloped. Many of these railroads are today operat­ ing at an actual loss. Still these roads are an actual necessity to the people of the territory t’ '.y serve and there is a terrific howl if any branch is proposed to be abandoned. In our own section, the branch from Lowell to Freeport was an in­ cessant drain on the Pere Marquette system, yet Freeport did not feel BOY SAYS: that the operation of the road should be discontinued.

Lansing, Mich., May 1.—The “breaking point" for men and wom­ en, that is, the day when they are apt to take fate in their own hands and kill themselves, varies. For men this day awaits them, on an av­ erage, after they have passed their 30th year-and before they reach their 50th milestone.' For women it is before 30, and why this is so is an interesting and absorbing chapter in the study of human kind. After one has decided to end it all, var­ ious methods are employed.

We are glad to see the railroads wake up to the fact that they need to place their side ot the case before the public. The railroads will find more friends and supporters among the people If they will be frank with the public and lay their cards on the table. The people of this country are fair in their judgments when .they know both sides of the case, and they will be fair to the railroads when they are conversant with the situation. But it is necessary that they should have the right informa­ tion, and from headquarters. The railroads are really owned by the people themselves, a fact which seems but little realized. Railroad stocks are owned by thousands of small private investors, who are en­ titled to reasonable returns on their investments. They are public util­ ities, publicly owned, and are entitl­ ed to fair and honest hearings and fair and honest treatment. We need and must have the rail­ roads, and with full knowledge and full understanding of their prob­ lems and difficulties, we shall be fair to them. Anything less than this is not American.

So wide is the scope of this proposed legislation, and so serious are many of its threats, that the Railroads have been forced to shape their affairs accordingly, as mariners take in sail when storm clouds the horizon. Michigan’s 24 steam railroads are today holding in suspense plans for the expenditure of large sums of money, pending legislative action on these ninetytwo bills. These expenditures, if released, would go into labor and materials—into Prosperity and Better Service. Is it wise or just to thus threaten and impede the efforts of any honest business? i How would you welcome ninety-two additional threats against your independence of action in the pursuit in which you are yourself engaged?

We believe It is a bad mistake for the future of this country to give every pupil a high school education looking only toward a college course. It is not possible for every high school grad­ uate to complete a course In col­ lege, and for those who can not, It is wise to equip them for starting the actual business of life after the com­ pletion of the high school course. Many trades are as essential to the welfare of the country as are the professions. It is hardly possible for a young man to go through a uni­ versity like the U. of M. for less than a thousand dollars a year. A man In ordinary circumstances and who has several boys finds it Impossible to meet such an expense. Then why not educate these boys along manual training lines, so that when he com­ pletes his high school course he can Bein’ mean gets at once step into the ranks of the wage-earner?

MOTHER’S DAY PROCLAMATION Custom has decreed that once a each year a day shall be set apart from all others especially for ob­ servance as Mother's Day. The plan was brought forth so that every per­ son might give more than ordinary attention to Mother, so that we might show to her our deepest devotion, guidance and loving care. In the rush and swirl of present day affairs and business one is in­ clined to forget for the moment the determination of Mother that we should have the blessings of life that she did not enjoy, and that to bring about the realization of her ambition it deprived her of the very happiness she sought to bestow up­ on us. It has been this motherhood ideal that has raised the standard of American citizenship to its present exalted place. In every home, no matter how elegant ctr humble> that same, mother devotion and sacrifice has always existed and always will. If mother love ruled the world there would be no conflicts, no destruction of human life because of greed, no sorrow because of unrighteous designs. Every day should be Mother’s Day, with possibly a little greater mani­ festation upon Mother’s Day of our appreciation because of her sacrifice and devption. By virtue of the authority vested In me as Governor of the State of Michigan, I do hereby designate and proclaim Sunday, May eleventh, 1924, as Mothers’ Day, and I call up­ on our people, both old and young, to gather in their several places of worship and take part in services ap­ propriate to the day. And let absent sons and daughters take this occasion to visit the moth­ er in the old home, or, where such a visit is Impossible, let tnem send a message of cheer and greeting. In accordance with a resolution of the Congress of the United States, I further request the people of Michi­ gan on the day aforesaid to display the United States flag in their homes and in other suitble places, as a fitting expression of their desira to pay homage to American motherhood. Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State this nine­ teenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, and of the Com­ monwealth the eighty-eighth.

He refused to divulge the source of his Information—explain­ ing that It was given him in confi­ dence and he could not violate a con­ fidence.

DON’T FORGET OUR Window Shades Wall Paper Cleaner Wall Paper Kirsch Rods R. C. TOWNSEND HOW ABOUT PRE-ELECTION PROMISES? For years the cry has been raised. "Let us have business men in pub­ lic office." One of the keenest business men in the world today is the present Sec­ retary of the Treasury. Mr. Mellon has seen excessive surtaxes drive capital out of productive enterprise into tax-exempt bonds and instead of securing revenue from the rich, the taxes which they have escaped by the tax-exempt bond route have been made up by citizens of ordinary means, and industry which furnish­ es the employment of this nation. In his tax reduction program. Sec­ retary Mellon is accused of reducing taxes ot rich portionately more than he reduces the tax on smaller in­ comes. The mere fact that he had the courage to make the greatest re­ duction where it was needed in order to bring capital out of hiding in tax­ exempt securities and thereby se­ cure new sources of wealth, the in­ come from which would help bear the cost of government, shows that he is no politician. That the Mellon plan starts with a reduction of 25 per cent on $3,000 Incomes,.climbs to a reduction of 29. 24 per cent on $15,000 incomes and ends with a reduction ot 45.72 per cent on mlllion-dollar incomes, is seized upon by opponents of the Treasurer’s plan as conclusive proof that It is merely in the Interest of "big business." They fail .to see the clear reasoning that lies behind this well worked out plan, the ultimate alm of which is to make taxable the greatest aggregate amount ot wealth, thereby dividing the tax bill among the greatest number of people. Why reduce an excessive surtax at all unless the reduction is sufficient to cause capital to enter productive business? Mr. Mellon has figured with math­ ematical certainty tijat in order to get large incomes into productive enterprise rather than into tax-ex­ empt bonds, a reduction of at least 30 to 45 per cent is' necessary and that in order to secure sufficient rev­ enue, a greater reduction than 25 per cent is not possible on smaller Incomes. Mellon's plan is one such as- a business man in politics would work out. The substitutes which have been proposed are largely of the old political order which seek to gain popular favor by appealing to the greatest number of persons from a purely selfish standpoint. Politics has so far been able to kill a tax reduction program. Of­ ficials in Washington have practical­ ly all biyjken pre-election pledges for tax reduction which Is essential to KALAMO.

WRIGLEYS Chew it after every meal GDDTUGfTT Judge Davis did not appear to no­ tice her. “I wish she would come,” be said. “She must be a big girl by now. Where Is she, Amy?” “I don’t know,” muttered the wom­ an, passing her hand across her fore­ head. And Winton knew that the pest twenty years had been completely obliterated from Judge Davis’ mem­ ory. He had no notion that it was Ills own daughter who stood before him. If the old woman had kept her wits, they were gone now, perhaps through the shock of the meeting. And a strange metamorphosis had oome over her. The withered old woman assumed the attitude of one of thirty years. There was a vivacity In her gestures. "I’ll go home with you now, my dear,” she said, advancing and laying her hand upon the horse's neck. "I have been waiting such a long time for you. Did you have a hard journey here, my dear 7' “Not very hard.” answered the Judge. "HI carry the child, and you shall ride my horse. Where Is she? Walt a moment, though, Amy; there was some Li d ng else I had to do." Seaton, recognizing the situation, had stolen quietly away toward a ridge of rocks behind tho village. Watching him. Winton saw him un­ iether and saddle a horse that was graz­ ing there. He was not greatly Interested in this maneuver. The man without t people seemed to have become an outcast once more. There was only one passage from the huts, which stood on a small ele­ vation half way up the hill, Into the valley. Seaton climbed Into the saddle and 'started down this track. The movement arrested the Judge’s atten­ tion. Instantly be remembered. His old face flushed. He spurred his horse and set off tn pursuit, leveling his revolver. . Seaton's horse stumbled, but the rider palled him to his feet and dashed down the winding troll. Winton was near enough to see the look of terror on the old man's face. The Judge might have been fifty feet behind him. The old woman watched the two men Impassively; probably her stunned mind was incapable of taking In the situation. Suddenly the thunder of hoofs be­ came audible, and the vast herd of springbuck dashed Into the valley, completely filling It. Seaton had reached the end of the trail and was dashing up the valley, with Davis in pursuit They raced almost side by si da. The Judge made no attempt to use his revolver, which he bad replaced in his pocket; but, bending forward over his horse's neck, •tretched out bis hands, which worked convulsively, as If to rend his enemy to pieces. After them poured the tor­ rent of hoofs and horns, two hundred thousand springbuck surging like an Irresistible tide under the Impulse of the migrating instinct. It swept be­ tween Winton and Davis, cutting them asunder; and Winton, checked on e little knoll, remained a helpless spec­ tator of what followed, as Incapable of interfering or rendering aid as if he were marooned upon an island amid a surge of living waters. All around him tossed the red bod­ ies, and bls horse, snorting with fear, reared and plunged, so that It required ail bls skill that he might keep his seat and not be flung down, to be gored and trampled on. He saw the Judge grasp at Seaton and half pull him from bls saddle. Seaton ecreamed and tore himself free. Then the flood of the spring­ buck swept In between them and drove them along, not ten paces apart, but Isolated and helpless in tire living stream. Their horses moved automatically, carried on by the momentum of the vast herd, which filled the valley be­ hind and had spread over the face ot the desert as far as could be seen. The swirl through the neck of the pass had all the force of those un­ countable numbers behind It It was like water forced through a hose pipe. Iron gates could not have withstood It Winton saw the Judge and Seaton swept upward, where the pass as­ cended toward the summit of the prec­ ipice. The herd gained the plateau. WC CHAPMAN As the compact ranks of the spring­ buck scattered, Winton drove his horse up the precipice. At the edge he dismounted, unci, thrusting his arms through the reins, he looked over. A vast brown stain upon the rocks below was all that marked the grave of Davis and bls enemy. And over­ head, winging their way through the blue sky In solitary file, the vultures dropped to their festival. Bick with horror, Winton went back to the village. He saw Sheila stand­ ing beside the crouching woman at the fire. He tethered his horse to a tree and went up to her. She paid no attention to him, but looked at her mother fixedly. The old woman was bent forward, her body supported by the elbows upon tho knees. She was quite motionless. Winton took her hand; It was already cold. CHAPTER XIV The Uprising. It was night Winton bad performed the last offices for the d woman. The triple tragedy had too stun­ ning for any Interchange of words upon their future, but at last, there being nothing more to do, Winton was free to speak to Sheila about their future. ‘ He had already gathered Ithat Sea­ ton had told her everything; concernIng tho past “I want you to come back with me to Malopo, Shelia,” he said, “Marry me—I will sell out and take you to my own country. Your life shall be­ gin anew—yours and mine. She put her hands on his shoulders. “Do you still love me, Winton?” she ’ asked. “I have not changed. Sheila.” “It Js not because you think you are bound?” "Sheila, I love you just as much— always.” “Then I will be your wife, Winton,” she answered gravely, raising her mouth to his. He did not urge bls love—It was no time for that, and the past was too vividly with them for love-making. Some day, not very far ahead, Win­ ton hoped that bls dreams might come true. For the present he was very well content to know that Sheila was bls, and that nothing more could come between them. It would be Impossible to find the /•vay back to Malopo that night, and already the rain-clouds hung black in the sky. Winton was to occupy one of the huts, and on the morrow they would start for Malopo at dawn. He was surprised that the village was empty, and was about to question Shelia when she spoke of It “They left two days ago,” she said. "All the warriors, with the women and children.

I tried to get warning to Malopo, but my Hottentot left me.” “Sheila, I must tell you something. The boy robbed me on my return from this village last time when I had fallen from exhaustion. Then he made away.” "He robbed you, Winton?” nearing the edge of the acclivity. “He took my watch and puree, and Then, without nay perceptible check, I think he was planning to kill me, the foremost Am of animals leaped only he was afraid.” “He came back and told me that For an Instant Winton Davis and you had reached Malopo safety.

Now we wanted that pig. We pried up the corner of that rail pen, slipped out two rails. The pig wanted to get out. They had placed a wench at the window up stairs to watch the pig. It got, so dark she couldn’t see in the shad­ ow of the bouse and the safeguard ■ was In front of the house. Now piggy came to the bole .In the pen, stopped, then slid through. John Small hit the pig on the head with a hatchet and the pig never even squealed. They put a tent rope on his nose and the three boys went down a ravine. I remained to watch the place. Half an hour passed and I started to follow the pig and got lost. Didn’t dare to speak -for fear somebody else would hear. I bunt­ ed nearly sn hour and then went to camp. The boys were not there. I went back in the woods for an­ other half hour, then back to camp, and there were those boys, frying pork for breakfast and I fell in at the work. We stayed on the Job un­ til daylight, then divided the bal­ ance with the other boys. The next night some of the boys of Co. E. killed a cow and a woman claimed It. She took the oath and some one must pay for the cow. I told one of the non-commissioned officers to go to h—1 over some petty quarrel he re­ ported me to the captain and I had to do extra duty for ’’sassing” an officer. A detail was made to go and get the hide of the cow for her to prove it was her cow. We got the hide, stamped It In the mud so she couldn’t tell by the color, then spread It out for her inspection. She bad a gourd in a shawl, full of water, and she said "If this Is my cow there Is a white spot here.” So she pour­ ed some water on the hide and out came the white spot. My job was done and I went back to camp. The boys were frying beef I purposely kicked one pan of meat over and pointed to the officers coming up to look tor the men who were cooking beef. They Inspected Co. C. first and found them cooking fresh beef, then came to Co. E. Not a bit of beef there, so Co. C had to pay 360 for that cow that Co. E. killed. The next morning nine men from the head ot Co. E were ordered to go down a road to find out where the rebs were. We must not go In the road. About a mile ahead we saw a smoke; It was a bridge across Sailor creek. We crawled down through the pine brush until we were about twelve rods from them, and there were about 50 reb cavalry there watching the lire. We had a good look at them, then opened fire and the way they flew was a sin to snakes. They left seven dead horses at the bridge. On the top of the hill there were five lines of wagons as far as the eye could reach, both ways. As we came out to the road the bead of the army came up and we fell into our places In the ranks, went across the burning bridge and after the Confederates. We charged them 12 times and drove them 18 miles, captured 4 00 prisoners, the last charge at dark. Here there was another bridge across Sailor creek and they rushed their teams so fast the bridge broke and went down and 18 mules and three wagons went Into the creek. The banks were straight up and down. When we came up the mules were there yet and two or three of them were dead. We captured 600 wagons and 3600 mules. (History). I saw a wagon marked "Purveyor.” which meant officers' supplies. I looked In and got an old carpet hag. I open­ ed It and found a bran new suit of clothes. It was dark, so I stripped off my clothes and put the new suit on, picked up a discarded sabre and hat, and with the sabre dragging, walked over to where the regimental officers were seated around a fire and asked “Could any of you gentlemen tell me where Gen. Lee's headquar­ ters are?” They sat In a circle around the fire. The circle parted on the opposite side from me, and came around mo from both ways. I dropped my hand to my sabre and said "No Intrusion, gentlemen ” Their consternation made me smile. The General said "Hold on. Cole: I know you,” and we all bad a good laugh. I went to my fire, pulled off the rebel clothes and the General came over and gave me 310 for them and a felt saddle blanket with lieu­ tenant general’s ensign In the cor­ ner. He had the ensigns picked out and put the blanket on bls horse. He had enlisted as first lieutenant in Co. E, and was now a brigadier general commanding the First brigade. First Division, Second corps. (TO BE CONTINUED.) . COW COSTS One of the most hopeful signs of prosperity for the farmers of this section to our mind, is the fact that there aro in the county today four cow testing associations. A cow is a factory. She produces milk. Some cows produce more milk than others on the same amount of feed. Some cows produce more butterfat than others although they give the same amount of milk and eat the same amount of feed. Some cow owners get a higher return from their herds on the same feed costs. Some herd owners get as low as 32.00 for each dollar expended for the feed. Other owners get as high as 33.53 for each dollar expended In the teed. “How come,” you say. Well, the cow testers tell you what each Individual la doing—what she is doing In pounds of milk, in pounds of butterfat, and what she Is paying you* for each dollar's worth of feed she eats. That’s getting at tho costs. That tells what cow to keep and what cow to sell. It tells the farmer about hlscows Just exactly what Henry Foya knows about his men in the factory. It is the only possible way that any­ one in business, be it farming, print­ ing, auto manufacturing or whatnot, can succeed.—Clinton County Repub­ lican.

A. MAURER HE CLEANED HIS SLATE. The story has just drifted East of how a Noble of the Mystic Shrine "cleaned bis slate" of all enmities and has arranged to go through to the end of his days ih the sunshine of friendships only. It is a beautiful story to theeditors and we pass it along for the good it may do. The Noble is a member of Nile temple at Seattle, one of the. wealthy men of the state, and a pioneer of 30 years ago in the great North­ west. From Kansas he went to the Kittitas valley in the days when cattle and horses ranged the valley and the hills. He was there when the farms came in, and as times changed he changed with them—always trying to keep up with modernization. He was a character and naturally made a lot of enemies along with the sort of friends who stick, and stick. But a few weeks ago he noticed that his hair had turned to white and that he was slowing up a little, and as he sat in his splendid home apd pondered over his life he thought: "Why should there be any but friend*!?** And so be hired the Elks hall in Ellensburg, and sent a personal letter to all his old friends and to all his known enemies and asked them to dine with him. "They who forgive most shall be most forgiven," tie wrote. And that night there sat at the dinner table one man to whom the host had not spoken a word fo«* 19 years: another 10, others 6. 5 years. He went to them with his hand outstretched and ,a smile on hie lips and they accepted both in the same spirit It was a beautiful thing to do. The man is Noble Briggs Franklin Reed and the occasion was his 60th birthday And that night he slept in peace. His slate had been wiped clean.

MAY 8, 1924 PROMISES COMPLETION • OF M-70 THIS YEAR. C. L. Glasgow was at Lansing Tuesday confering with Ojvernor Groesbeck in regard to Barry county road building and secured the chief executive's promise that trunk line M-79 would be completed this year. Including the half mile of paving west from Main street and the gravel road south to Assyria. The appro­ priation already made by the admin­ istrative board for 1924 covered only a few miles on the Colgrove High­ way in Barry county, but the Gover­ nor gave his word that a special meeting of the board w’ould be call­ ed on Wednesday evening and ar­ rangements made to take care of M-79. AUTO SMASH INJURES FIVE MEN 8ERIUOSLY. Nelson Crapo, Former Nashvlllcite, Badly Hurt and Car Smashed by Lansing Joy Riders. Nelson Crapo, former Nashville man. now living at Battle Creek, fig­ ured prominently in a bad automo­ bile accident which happened on the Grand River road, 1 1-2 miles west of Round lake, Friday night. From the Clinton County Republican-News, published at St. Johns, we glean the following facts regarding the acci­ dent. "Rumors reached this city Satur­ day morning purporting that five men had been killed tn an automo­ bile smash-up at the gravel pit curve on the Grand River road 1-2 miles west of Round lake resort the prev­ ious night. A little later the Lans­ ing police reported that no one had been killed but that at least three men had been seriously injured. Prosecuting Attorney Oliver Spaulding and Deputy-Sheriff Rich­ mond were notified that moonshine liquor was partly responsible for the accident and they left for Ijinsing to interview the police and injured men. Attorney Spaulding learned the fol­ lowing about the accident. Nelson Crapo of Battle Creek, left Lansing for Flint In his Ford se­ dan al 10:20 o’clock Friday night. At about 11 o’clock he reached the grav­ el pit curve on the Grand River road and noticed the headlights of anoth­ er car coming towards him from the east side of the curve. Crapo says he slowed his car and dimmed his lights and that the lights of the other car were dimmed alscl According to the Battle Creek man the Lansing car, which was a Dodge coupe occupied by four Lan­ sing young men, Leazier, the driver. Timmons. Goslee and McComber, struck his machine between the left headlight and fender, hurling it into the ditch. Crapo was knocked un­ conscious momentarily and when he regained consciousness the other car was a mass of wreckage on the road several feet back of him. and all the occupants appeared badly hurt. The tact that two of the Dodge occupants claimed their car was parked when the Ford struck them, and the other two said their car hit the Ford, led the Clinton county of­ ficer to believe that the Lansing youths had been drinking and crim­ inal charges will probably be pre­ ferred against them. All five of the men w.-re taken to Lansing hospitals by passing autoIsts. while other "Good Samaritans" stripped both of the wrecked ma­ chines of all accessories within a few minutes after the accident. It whs found that four of the men had suf­ fered broken bones and one had sus­ tained Internal injuries, while all five were badly bruised and cut. MISSIONARY MEETING. The Woman’s Missionary society of the M. E. church met with Mrs. Will Dean Friday afternoon. Mrs. Osborn led the devotionals. after which there was a short busi­ ness session. The committee reported 153.30 in proceeds from the Mother's and Daughter’s banquet, of which $5.00 was voted to be given to the L. A. S. for, the purchased of silver for the Community House. It was urged upon the ladles to attend the annual district conven­ tion of the W. H. M. S. to be held at Hastings. May 22. 23 and 24. Mrs. Glasgow then gave the les­ son study. She reviewed, the chap­ ter on Japan in the X-Y-Z diary, which gave a glimpse of the country with its people in action, their ad­ vantages and the problems they have and the ones we meet in trying to help them. There are fewer women in Japan than men, so all the women are needed as home-makers. 200,000 girls go into factories ev­ ery year, many of whom die. and few return to be home-builders. Many children are not registered at birth, so have no chance for an education. Tuberculosis and Intemperance are two other foes to be fought. There are four religions in Japan: Shlntuism. Confucianism, Buddhism and Christianity. The two former ones make for a good foundation for Christianity. There is nothing that promises salvation but Christianity. What we need to aid Japan is mis­ sionaries—leaders of young people. The children and young people there are willing and waiting. Who will HAPHAZARD FARMING OUT OF be their leader? DATE.

HON. W. W. POTTER MAKES STATE CONVENTION SPEECH Popular Native Son of Maple Grove Chairman of State * Republican Meet IS BEING STRONGLY URGED TO MAKE RACE FOR GUBERNATORIAL NOMINATION ON REPUBLICAN TICKET Hon. W. W. Potter of Hastings, chairman of the Michigan Public Utilities Commission, a native of Ma­ ple Grove township and a son ofCapt. L. B. Potter of Nashville, was chair­ man of the Republican state conven­ tion held at Grand Rapids yesterday and made the keynote speech of the campaign for the Michigan republi­ cans. Mr. Potter has for some time past been strongly urged by many prom­ inent republicans about the state tq allow his name to go before the peo­ ple of the state for the republican nomination for governor. He is recognized as one of the ablest men In the state and one of its lending le­ gal lights. He is not a politician in ■the commonly accepted meaning of the term, but there is no man in Michigan who is better posted or better qualified for this important position. He Is a big. strong man. physically and mentally. He is not­ ed as an exceptionally clear thinker and a convincing speaker. He has great force of character and Is an outstanding figure in state affairs at Lansing, where his opinions carry much weight. His integrity is uni­ versally recognized as an Inherent quality of the man. and he is held In the highest respect in the executive and legislative circles of Michigan. The people of Barry county know him well and favorably. They know he d£?s his own thinking and makes his own decisions, and that they are usually correct. They have implicit confidence In bis ability and Integrity and they know he is big enough and broad-minded enough to make the kind of a gc.'ernor Michigan needs at the present time. We hope he may decide to enter the field. There are many other ex­ cellent candidates, but we believe W. W. Potter ranks all of them in abili­ ty to fill the position of governor of the great state of Michigan as it should be filled. We believe, too. that if he does decide to become a candidate, the republicans of this section of the state will support him almost unanimously. Mr. Potter's speech before the state convention held yesterday, and which we are privileged to present to our readers herewith, plainly in­ dicates what a clear vision he has of the pressing needs of, the times, and his remarkable clarity of speech makes his position on all the leading questions of the day unmistakeably easy to understand. Mr. Potter said: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle­ men of the Convention: This is the first, but not the last republican convention of this cam­ paign. The presidential primary has been held. Neither Hiram of Cali­ fornia, nor 'Hiram of Zilwaukee were preferred by the Michigan electorate of the President. "Keep Coolidge" is the people's mandate. Capital and labor, young and old, men and women admire his in­ tegrity, courage and simplicity, and tils broad grasp of the fundamentals of American faith, American ideals and American Independence. The League of Nations. ' In Europe, there is no national independence. At the opening of the World War, Germany, Austria, Turkey and Italy were leagued to­ gether to maintain the balance of power: and England, France, Russia and Japan were allied for the same purpose. Italy finally joined the Allies. Austria was uot independent. Turkey was not Independent. Eng­ land was not independet. Austria was bound to support Germany. Eng­ land must not only support France, Russia and Japan, but maintain the neutrality of Belgium. France. Rus­ sia. England and Japan were pledged to act in case the rights of any one of their number were interfered with, as were Germany. Austria and Turkey. Europe was Involved in war, for a cause which in the first instance, did not rise to the dignity of a violation of international law. After the conclusion of the ar­ mistice. Mr. Wilson promulgated his once famous, but now forgotten. Fourteen Points. In due time, having gathered together a great number of men. many of them educated in Germany, hostile to our goverment and its institutions, be secured the steamship "George Washington" tor his trip. The decks were glassed in so as to constitute a great sunparlor. The Biltmore orchestra was taken to play during meals, and another to play as those intellectual gladiators promenaded the decks. Another giant steamship carried limousines and excess baggage. The Hotel Crillon was reserved at & rental of $600,000. $250,000 was paid for wino bills and breakage. With these and other manifestations of "Jeffer­ sonian Simplicity." he set forth, like Don Quixote of old. to make the world "safe for democracy.” After weary months, he came back triumphantly parading before an intelligent electorate, the success­ ful achievements of his transcedent genius. He had fixed and established one. and only one. of his Fourteen Points. "America asks nothing" and she got nothing. (Continued on page 3.) CAR WITH NINE OCCUPANTS GOES OFF BRIDGE. ■ FREE METHODIST SPECIAL MEETINGS. Crowded From Road Batlie Creek At Stony Point Free Methodist Man and Family Escape Serious Church.

Taxes Must Como Down. Senator Smoot is authority for the pleasing statement that there will be a tax reduction bill put through. The American people have not weakened on the plan to cut 1300,­ 000,000 from the federal tax bill. The people see in it the first step in a program to preserve the pros­ perity of the United States. Both national and state tax prob­ lems stand as a disturbing menace to future growth and progress. The combined earnings of this na­ tion amount to fifty-eight billion dol­ lars and out of that the public pays more than seven billion dollars in taxes. The yearly tax bill of seven billion dollars Is a menace to prosperity and Increases the living costs. The farmer, the workman, the clerk and mechanic are beginning to understand that taxes play an im­ portant part In the high cost of liv­ ing. Experience shows that reduction of taxes represents insurance against unemployment and lessens the posibillty of a slowing down of industry. Bread One Eats.

Potter Makes counted Ln the tentative valuation of the property or the carriers for the purpose of fixing the bas’s of return, and their operating losses were con­ sidered Ln determining how much money must be raised by rates for the carriers of the particular group. Counting these properties for the purpose of increasing the rate base; considering them for the .purpose of boosting the necessary return; col­ lecting from the shipping and the travelling public rates made higher than they otherwise would be by reason of the value of these roads, and their operating deficits, carries with it the duty of operating these branches for whose operation the carriers are being paid through the higher level of established rates. They cannot be permitted to take the money and abandon the service. The Fundamental Criticism of the Transportation Act of 1920. The criticism for which there has never yet been an answer consistent with the established principles of justice, is that it enables some of the "carriers to re­ ceive a net railway operating income substantially and unreasonably in ex­ cess df a fair return upon the value of their railroad property held for and used in the service of transpor­ tation." It enables particular car­ riers to charge the shipper or the traveller, a sum in excess of what is fully compensatory for the par­ ticular service rendered. No one would find serious fault with this, if the surplus revenues de­ rived from such excessive rates, went for the betterment ot transportation, but it does not. One-halt ot the ex­ cess above a fair return, should, by the terms of the act, go to the gov­ ernment of the United States, and the other half goes for the use and benefit of the particular carrier earning it, which carrier need not ac­ cumulate a reserve fund beyond five per cent of the value ot its railway property determined from due con­ sideration of "all the elements of value recognized by the law of the land for rate making purposes," by the Interstate Commerce Commis­ sion, and then that one-half on the surplus revenue may be used for any lawful purpose by the carrier, and it is a lawful purpose of the carrier to use such money to pay excess divi­ dends. It is claimed that the other half of the money collected by the car­ riers from rates substantially and unreasonably in excess of what is fairly compensatory for the services rendered by it, goes to the improve­ ment ot transportation, and is there­ fore of public benefit. The Transportation Act provides that these surplus revenues shall be paid to the Interstate Commerce Commission. What then? Carriers in need ot money may apply to the Interstate Commerce Commission tor a loan. They must in so doing, set forth their present and prospective ability to repay the loan applied for. A hearing must be had upon the ap­ plication, and when the Interstate Commerce Commission is satisfied that the prospective earning power of the applicant and the character and value ot the security-offered by it are such as to furnish reasonable assurance of applicant's ability to re­ pay the loan; the Commission may make the loan with interest at six per cent per annum, payable semi­ annually. The act requires that the security to be furnished "shaU be ad­ equate to secure the loan.” If the security which the carrier offers is adequate to secure its pro­ spective loan, if its prospective fu­ ture earnings are likely to be suffi­ cient to warrant a reasonable belief that the carrier can retire its con­ templated obligations, thqn it can get the money on as good terms as those prescribed by the act in the open market, and there is no necessity of its being charged to and collected from the shippers and the travellers of the country by way of rates sub­ stantially and unreasonably in ex­ cess of what is compensatory. If the carrier desirous of making a loan has security ample and of un­ questioned value, it will hire its money in the open market. It is only when the security is such that men of prudence in, the world of finance will not loan upon it that application will be made to the gov­ ernment for relief. If default is made in the payment of these loans may by the carrier from the government, what happens? The government will either re-, finance them by use of additional money collected through such ex­ cessive rates, or it wil become the owner at foreclosure sale of this worthless property, and the first step in government ownership will haue been accomplished. Why should those who construct­ ed railroads by capitalizing unreal­ ized hopes be permitted to refinance them at the expense of the shipping and travelling public from funds col­ lected by way of excessive rates, and thus secure full payment of their worthless securities for which are substituted those issued to get money from the government collected through excessive rates? Why should the shipping and trav­ elling public be compelled to pay rates substantially and 'unreasonably In excess of what Is compensatory for the particuar service rendered, in or­ der to pay excess dividends to those so fortunate as to be stockholders In those railroads which earn under the rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, not only the fair return of six per cent on the value of their property, but substan­ tial sums by way ot excess dividends, "lawful purpose*", under the provi­ sion* of the Transportation Act? To get for the paying railroads ex­ cess rates, from which such rail­ roads may pay excess dividends, and which railroads will continue to be owned by private Indviduals; to re­ cover In full the money invested by railroad security holders In the de­ preciated securities- of worthless railroads which ought never to have been built, thus compelling the peo­ ple, through excessive rates, to make good- their improvident investments, to pull their chestnuts out of the fire, to unload'upon the public, the equally worthless refunding securi­ ties of the non-paying railroads of the country which mean* practically that such worthies* railroads will be­ come the property of the public, In short, to enable the railroad securi­ ty holder* to take the valuable and high dividend paying railroads, and unload upon the public the non-pay­ ing and worthless railroads of th* country, and to do all this through the payment of rate* substantially and unreasonably in excess of what is compensatory for the particular service* rendered. These, it is now made plain, are the real purpose* masked behind the ponderous vertri­ age of the Transportation Act, pur­ pose* which will destroy the act a* now in force or destroy the Republic. Railroad Consolidation. The Transportation Act also pro­ vides that the Commission shall pre­ pare and adopt a plan for the con­ solidation of all the railway proper­ ties of the continental United States, into a limited number of systems; that when the Commission ha* agreed upon a tentative plan, it shall give the same due publicity and shall hear all persons who may file or pre­ sent objections thereto, and thereaf­ ter it may adopt the plan. • ’ As early as August 1921, the In­ terstate Commerce Commission pub­ lished a tentative plan for the con­ solidation of all ot the railroads ot the United State* into nineteen dif­ ferent railroad systems. This plan was prepared by Professor Ripley ot Harvard University. System num­ ber six provides for the consolida­ tion of the Pere Marquette, the D*troit & Mackinac, the Ann Arbor, th* Detroit, Toledo & Ironton, and th* Boyne City, Gaylord and Alpena in­ fo one system. None of these rail­ roads. with the exception possibly ot the Pere Marquette and the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton, which has th* advantage of the routing over it ot the property of the Ford interests, are paying properties. It is contended that Michigan ia now being discriminated against in. railroad freight rates. If there la anything in the Transportation Act ot benefit to the public, it must arls* from the paying roads carrying th* nop-paying roads, from providing * more adequate transportation sys­ tem than can exist without it. The Michigan Central system 1* tied to the New York Central System. The Grtuid Rapids & Indiana is a part of the Pennsylvania system. The consolidation of the Pere Marquette, Detroit & Mackinac, Ann Arbor, De­ troit, Toledo & Ironton, and Boyne City, Gaylord & Alpena will con­ stitute practically a Michigan sys­ tem. It will tie a stone of unprofit­ able railroads about the neck of the Pere Marquette .and its operation must result ultimately in bankruptcy or in higher rates for the shipping and travelling public. So far ah the Transportation Act of 1920 is concerned, I am opposed to it; because it provides that rate* substantially and unreasonably in ex­ cess of what is compensatory for the particular service rendered, may b* imposed and that this excess, above what is compensatory for the ser­ vices, goes one-half to pay excess dividends and the other to build up a fund for acquiring the securities of non-paying roads; and the consoli­ dation of all the railroads of the United States into the systems aa proposed in the tentative plan of th* Interstate Commerce Commission, will tend to discriminate against Michigan in the matter of rates by grouping together into one system a series of non-paying railroads, thus necessitating higher rates. If these railroads, or a part of them, were tied on to the Pennsylvania system, or if these railroads or a part of them were tied on the New York Central system, they might well be carried without a raise in rates. It is up to the people of this stat* to see to ft that it is not furher dis­ criminated against by the adoption ot the Interstate Commerce Commis­ sion of this tentative plan.of group­ ing together the non-paying railroad* of the state of Michigan and then imposing higher rates upon the ship­ ping and travelling public, in order to make those railroads pay a fair return upon the value thereof. Immigration and the Growth of Factories. After the Civil War, manufactur­ ing grew a-pace In Michigan. Two factors of great importance, recognized, at the time, but by a few and unheeded by all, began to exer­ cise a profound influence upon our population. Many felt that in order to compete in our own domestic mar­ ket and in the markets abroad with the manufacturers of Europe, w* must have as cheap labor as our com­ petitors. And so, laborers began to be imported from Europe in great numbers by the iron and steel in­ dustries. These were not laborer* who voluntarily came for the purpos* of acquiring citizenship in the new world. They were not made up of the adventurous spirits who had th* Inherent independence of character to brave the hardships of pioneering upon America’s unoccupied public domain with the hope of acquiring a farm, a home add a competence. In the textile industries great numbers of southern European Im­ migrants were Imported, before th* enactment of the contract labor law, and set at work in the cotton mill* of the east, and the same thing waa true in other Hue* of manufacturing where cheap, unskilled labor could be used. . Not only did the captain* of In­ dustry In this country recruit the ranks of labor by Importing laborer* under contract, but the geat trans­ Atlantic steamship companies en­ gaged in the business of soliciting immigrants for the money it brought to them by way of revenues from transportation charges. The governments of many of th* countries of the old world, wiser from their years of experience then were we, saw tn the unrestricted In­ migration permitted by the law* of the United States, an opportunity for them to unload upon this country those subnormal in moral* and intelligeuoe. those defective, dependent and delinquent, those tainted with disease and insanity, those criminally Inclined, and so by reason of the laxity of our Immigration law* and combined cause* operating to lacrease the free movement of foreign peoples to our shores. America be­ came the dumping ground of the Ig­ norant, the defective, the diseased, the subnormal, the dependant and the criminal classes of many of th* countries of the old world. This was not temporary—It continued in the case of some countries for more than a quarter of a century, and today, a* a result of the laxity of our immi­ gration laws tn the past, we hare ' s _ ' ' �THE NASHVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, MAY B, 1P&4. more criminals, more degenerates, proposed canalisation of the St. The New York constitution' provided a more insane, and more defectives, not । Lawrence; lowering the level of the ** 1 that the judges of the Supreme Court 1 issippl and the St. Lawrence.

Mr. Russell is a mem­ ber of the Great Lakes Tidewater Commission of the state of Michi­ gan. which with many other states is working to promote sentiment that will Induce congress to con­ struct the proposed great waterway. Its myriad advantages to the people of Michigan and other central and western states was very lucidly pre­ sented by Mr. Russell, the audience giving the project its warm approv­ al. Following the talk, Mr. Russell was prevailed upon to sing “The Swoid of Bunker Hili,” and smiling­ ly "responded to a hearty encore.

Betts, and it was truly remarkable under the condi­ tions, so splendidly rendered as to win the enthusiastic plaudits of the audience. The gathering projnlsed much for the future of the new Nashville Community club, there being a lib­ eral sprinkling of farmers mingling with the men of the village and all joining in the jolliest kind of an evening, enlivened by community singing, led by Mr. Betts, with Mr. Purgam at the piano. Plans were presented by the board of directors, and approved by the club, that single, supper tickets be placed at 35 cents each, for those who prefer not Jo pay 11.50 In ad­ vance tor each series of six suppers. So for the present, at least, it is up to each member whether he pay the "season ticket” price of 11.50 for each six suppers, or pays 35 cents each for single tickets for the meetings which he finds himself de­ sirous of attending. The next regular supper meeting of the club will be held at the Audi­ torium on Monday evepirig. May 26. at 7 o’clock, sharp. The News gave the hour wrong last week as 7.45, which should have read 7 o’clock. It is hoped that the next session will be even more largely attended than was the one Monday evening. Nashville citizens should endeavor to attend every session they possibly can, and our friends from the coun­ try are more than welcome members of the new Community club, which has for its only aim the social, in­ dustrial. commercial and civic bet­ terment of Nashville and Its envir­ ons. Individual effort, as remark­ ed by Mr. Russell. Is of but little avail, while collective effort pro­ duces great results. A better spirit of community neighborliness will make all our lives more pleasant and profitable. NUMBER 43 NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1924 meat by these dams in St. Law­ rence is estimated'to be 1,464,000 or 50r000,000' tons of coal per an­ num. Water transportation is consider­ ed to be seven times cheaper- than rail. The average run of a freight car is about 25 miles per day. It’s a poor boat that can’t make 250 miles per day or about 12 miles per hour. Five cents a bushel or more will bo saved on export grain. One-half to one cent a pound freight will be saved on meats, lard, butter and oth­ er dairy products under refrigera­ tion. Heavy products like steel will take a saving from four to eight dollars a ton. The territory served by the lakes jbas 1-3 of the population. In 1923 the direct cargo move­ ment up the lakes included steel, su­ gar, lumber, pulp wood, sulphur, flints, nitrates handled on light draft boats. With the greater carrying capaci­ ty of ocean vessels, traffic would be greatly increased. Wonderful saving of time will add to the value of every acre and every city, lot between the Rocky moun­ tains and the Alleghanies. It will bring into use thousands of acres too remote from foreign markets and allow’ the west to participate In world traffic.

This was followed by a report of th# Southwest District Federation, held at Niles last week and attended by Mrs. Lulu Greene as delegate. This report was long but so interbsting one hardly realized that time was passing so rapidly. She brought home many sugges­ tions that would be possible and profitable for our club to work out. Mrs. Floy Wotrlng was hostess for the afternoon. The program was appropriate to the month of May. Mrs. Betts, who has so kindly as­ sisted on many of the programs, ren­ dered two piano solos: “Rustlings of Spring" and the encore number being “Tulips." Mrs. Murray told of the pretty flowers that bloom in May and which we are always so anxious to see. She closed her paper with a* poem, “Springtime."

Mrs. Harriett Furnlss gave a read­ ing, appropriate to the times, "The House With Nobody in it." This was followed by such hearfy appl./ise she must have known how much all appreciated hearing her again. She responded with another selection, "In May". _ Mrs. Lena Cook sang two num­ bers. "Buttercup Time” and "The Garden Coronation". Mrs Cook is another of our members who has generously given her talent for sev­ eral programs and is always listen­ ed to with pleasure. Mrs. Betts ac­ companied her. Mrs. Belle Everts, the retiring president, then made a few fitting remarks in closing the club year, as well as her term of -office as presi­ dent. The club is closing a very success­ ful year and all appreciate the efforts •Sts.

Warning to the general public that professional stock traders are again abroad in Michigan is given by H. N Duff, chairman of the Michigan securities commission. Mr. Duff states that every person should bear in mind when approached by a trad­ ing salesman two important things. “Either the salesman has something he'wishes to get rid of, or he wants some stock now held by the intend­ ed victim," the statement reads. The usual tactics, of these salesmen, Mr. Duff says, are to try to exchange some of their stock for the more de­ sirable stock now held by the public, as people are wary when asked to put up cash for the proffered stocks.

' Lansing, Mich., May 15.—Accord­ ing to figures compiled by Mr. P. I. Hoffman, state Pharmacist, there are operating in Michigan 2,102 drug stores In which millions of pills and hotties of medicines are doled out annually to the sick and ailing. There are in Michigan 5,017 register­ ed pharmacists and 563 assistant registered pharmacists. In addition to these schooled men, who find it necessary to spend considerable time in preparing themelves for their, life's work, Michigan licenses 451 itinerant medicine vendors who go about the country In search of cus­ tomers. Hoffman says that number will not nearly include the total of such men but due to lack of help in his department he is unable to get out and check up the actual number of those peddling and hawking their nostrums. Drug stores are compell­ ed by law to procure a $3.00 annual license fee. Registered pharmacists meet a $15 examination fee and a $15 certificate fee while the assis­ tants meet a $10 examination fee and a similar certificate fee. The itiner­ ant vendors pay a $25 license and are glad to do it in order to reap the enormous profits from their sales.

I’m rather busy, In a way, I have a lot of work to do. But time enough to stop and say A word to other people, too. I'm rather busy yet I take A little time for friendship’s sake, MyVork can spare me for a while. The second that it takes to smile. I’m rather poor, to tell the truth, I haven't made as much of gold As I Intended In my youth. And now I’m getting rather old; But, others find the going rough, And, thank the Lord, 1 have enough, However little It may be. To give a little charity. I’m rather selfish, have my schemes, I have my hopes and have my pains. My breast is full of certain dreams*. The same as any other man’s. And yet I try to Lake the time To help some other fellow climb, To realise that passers-by Have cherished dreams as well at I. I'm rather human, in a way, About like other men, 1 guess; But I have learned from day to day I mostly find my happiness In hands and not in gold I grip. In friendship and In fellowship. Not only in the wealth I’ve found (But in the other folks around. —Douglas Mallock. Of Great Antiquity.

All along the fields the stores were burning fiercely. Against the light of the leaping flames could be seen the bodies of the savages, struggling to carry off their plunder.

He sprang to hla £mL but, remembering the argent need fl cau­ tion, lay down again beside Sheila, watching Sam. He saw the negro worming bls way along the ground upon his stomach. Suddenly Sam turned toward hip with an Imperative gesture to He still. Looking up, Winton perceived a Kafir sentry, armed with a spear and shield, an guard at the desert road behind the devastated and smoldering store that bad belonged once to Kash. The presence of this man was omi­ nous. If the outbreak had been con­ fined to the diamond compounds, no sentry would have been set The fact of his presence betokened a precon­ certed rising, guided by shrewd minds from outside. it betokened something more. For the man who had placed him there must ha^e had a personal Interest in Winton's capture. Yet Winton was no object of hatred on the port of the natives—rather he was one of the more popular among the clalm-holdere. But Winton realized only the first part of the purpose, not Its implica­ tions. Be watched Sam spring to hie feet and advance boldly toward the sentry, brandishing his spear. There was nothing to show that Sam was other than one of the marauders. He was just as black, and tn the night he looked just as ferocious as any of them. Hie sentry turned and looked at Sam In Inquiry, then went forward to meet him. Sam's muscular arm went back, and the spear, driven unerringly, by some atavistic impulse, went home through the Kafirs' throat The sentry dropped without a word or sound, the spear-point sticking Into the ground behind him. supporting tbe falling corpse grotesquely for a mo­ ment till the body, collapsing side­ wise, rolled Into the road and lay still. Sam came back slowly. “I’ve killed him," he began to whimper. “A good thrust Sam" Tve killed a human being. God forgive me!" whispered Sam, shaking as If he had an attack of fever. <TO BE CONTINUED.)

The petition was liber­ ally signed by the residents of Sher­ man street and the council granted tho petition and ordered the street to be oiled. We believe this was a mistake. We doubt If many of the people who signed the petition would have attached their names to It bad they reallzed that Sherman street is in no condition to be oiled and that if it is oiled a nasty mess will certainly re­ sult, with resultant damage to car­ pets, rugs, and all home furnishings. Oil may well be applied to a hardpacked, well-gravelled street, which is properly crowned to carry off the water. Sherman street, however, is a loose dirt street, uneven, full of dips and holes, which will hold the water In with the oil to make a sticky, nasty mess. Furthermore, after the oil has been on for a month or two. a high wind will carry the oily dust on porches and through op­ en windows, to the ruination of whatever it lands upon. Reed street, as It Is now being well gravelled. If kept well crowned, will be a good street to oil In anoth­ er year, but Sherman street as It Is today Is In the worst possible con­ dition to receive a coat of oil and ev­ ery resident along the street will regret it before the summer is over. We believe the common council and the residents along Sherman street would do well to reconsider their action before it Is too late. It the street Is to be oiled. It stfbuld be well gravelled first and the grav­ el be allowed to pack. Even then, calcium chloride Is much more cleanly and satisfactory than oil. Kent county, after trying oil on many of Its country highways, now uses calcium chloride and has for several seasons past. Charlotte tried oiled streets for just one season, and then quit. . ■Why should we not profit by the experience of others? Smilin Charlie Says- Buy the Wear-U-Well shoe And save a dollar two.

According to the tale unfolded by that smooth fakir from the city they had only to put a little water with the grape Juice and let it stand ten days, when it would develop a kick like an army mule. When the grape juice arrived the boys proceeded to follow directions, and it Is said the ten days were the longest that were ever recorded In that locality. At the expiration of the time limit they uncorked their purchase and found they had just what they bought—a little grape juice and a lot of water. As for a kick, a jack rabbit would be fero­ cious In comparison to the one the ’’ beverage developed. Suspicions.

This Company attempts to fore­ see the great growth of service demand and extends its plant in­ to new districts as rapidly as pos­ sible, in an effort to most efficient­ ly serve the people of Michigan. <1 However, sudden unforeseen popula­ tion and industrial growth frequently make it impossible to furnish utility service at all points immediately upon demand. Hundreds of new telephones are wanted. The Telephone Company’s prob­ lem is the same as that of the water, sewer, gas, electric, street, and school services. But Telephone Plant expansion is breaking all records. Thousands of new instruments are being installed, miles of new circuits are being built and additional exchange facilities are being provided, to meet the call for service. Everything possible is being done to provide service for all who desire it. MORGAN. "Amend your ways and your do­ ।ings, and obey the voice of the Lord , your God." .

Tom Beale retorted archly. “Thus far you've been scheming on first one Invention and then another, wasting precious time and money. I urn getting tired of clamoring tn your defense. After all is said, u woman prefers a man whom she can admire.” *'I will admit that admiration is an important word Ln the lexicon of love. Very well, Mildred; 1 will surrender, since It is your pleasure. I can stop ad­ miring you." Tom strode down the well-kept road of the big mill town. He walked on and on. Tbe biting north wind shrilled and sent flurries of sere leaves along the street before him. Small, fine flakes of sharp snow began to fall, let, on and ou be strode, until weari­ ness begun to lag his luoisteps—then he turned backward. When he re­ turned home, it was midnight. With­ out wanting food, he flung himself upon his bed and was soon lost Ln for­ getful slumber. But he dreamed; he fancied he was Christian struggling in the Slough of Despond. He struggled frantically, for he was slumping, sink­ ing, perishing miserably. Gasping, be awuke; then. on realising tlmt his battle with death had only been a drearn performance, he was thankful and reinsplrited. Seeing it was late in the morning, he sprang to his feet But before dressing, he opened a cabinet and took out some pions, tbe work'ng drawings of a deeply cleated machine. The ma­ chine was to be the driving force of a giant V-shaped, iron-flanged snowplow. In a way. Tom reflected. Mildred was right; be bad had wheels In his head. These plans of his had lain use­ less a whole year; he bad hesitated 0® materializing them on account of the expense. Now he proposed defiantly to carry out his purpose. But the following weeks were eter­ nally long dull ones. Tom aometlm— met Mildred Incidentally. However be returned her pretty friendliness with chilly aloofness; he wanted to agonise her if he could. At last, when the period of apslong days had passed, the new anew plow, in parts, arrived from the fac­ tory. Then, when the first heavy snowfall came, Tom was out early demonstrating the power of his giant tractor, which could cut a clean sweep, straight onward through ths drifts. So it happened that Tom Beale's home town had risaagglsg wig­ wagging winter roads no more. Congratulations were in order and Tom realised how high was Ms impor­ tance. One evening, while he was th< honor guest at a party, he saw, with gratification, that he was being pur­ sued by the disconcerted but delight­ ed Mildred. “Tom, let me say that that was a dever thing for you to do,” she fal­ tered. “I hate the word ’dever* when tt spells apology,” he retorted. “Tom, I’ve been waiting for an op­ portunity to aak you—<Q' overtook my asperity on that^-tbat lamentable day." “It is unsportsmanlike to be vindic­ tive. To be sure I'll overlook any­ thing unpleasant,” he concluded turn­ ing away tantalisingly. “Tom. please stay and listen to me. Really, you can't blame me for my for­ mer attitude. Father and mother both disapproved of yeu on the supposition that you were an inactive dreamer. Besides—” “I think 1 understand you, Mildred. Tbe fact is, you deserve much com­ mendation for not having been blind to your fiance's formidable fault*." “Tom, you gave me a wristwatch and some other gifts. I’ve tied them Ln the jewel casket for you to taka away." Her pretty Bps quivered. With a leap forward, Tom fall head­ long out of his frigid zone. "No, you'll keep them; they were given you to keep. I had forgotten tho trifling me­ mentos—my bead has been so fall of wheels," he smiled indulgently. “There, dear, etop picking to pieces your hot­ house rose. Come, share this eve­ ning's gaiety with me." It snowed all that night and the next day. in the afternoon when Tom was passing Mildred's home on a snow­ plowing trip, Mildred’s mother called to him. “Stop in a moment," she said; “Go into the kitchen. We have a new cook. I thought you mlgbt like to meet her." Tom found Mildred in a bungalow apron, rosy-cheeked at the kitchen stove, frying doughnuts. Tbe girl glanced up with a smile, but aba seemed too much abashed to speak. Tom advanced, realising that be was very, very hungry, hungrier than be had ever been before Ln his life.

They were Just visible In the twi­ light, which made their figures, and those of their horses, at once enor­ mous and shadowy. Two of them, from their firm, stir­ rupless seat, were obviously Hotten­ tots. The third was a white man There seemed nothing to fear and much to hope. The Hottentots were never on friendly term® with the Bechunnas, whom they despised ns savages, and the presence of their master was still more rwsaurlng. The three spurred their horses and came galloping up abreast. They were within five and twenty paces when Winton recognised the white man as De Witt Before he realised the man’s hos­ tile Intentions De Witt had ridden straight at him. The Hottentots, with rearing horses, dashed at Sam. Win­ ton saw 8am roll on tbe ground, and then he himself was down tn a tangle of plunging hoofs. He had a dim knowledge at firing bls revolver, and then the scene faded out of his consciousness as quietly as if tt were some moving-picture with­ drawn from the white screen. O. O. Mater, D. V. M.

The tears were streaming down his black face. "You’re right, sir," he said humbly. But neither man could speak, and Winton, wringing Sam’s band, mount­ ed and rode away. His burning anger gave him strength. Tbe thought of Shelia’s danger, of De Witt’s trick at the end, nerved him to desperation. Within two days the wheel of his fortunes had made a com­ plete revolution. Only the thought of Sheila In De Witt’s power enabled him to maintain bls mental equilibrium. And for a while, as be rode over the lonely desert, touched here and there with the green of the young grass, ne ?elt like a shadow moving in a p&gntgip world. He triepfo concentrate his attention on the tracks of the three horse*, which were distinct in the raln-eonked ground. So long as these were plain In sight he felt that be was nee ring SbHIS trgff Sdaiat in o? fact that ho could see no one. He discovered that what bls horae lacked in speed It made up In staying powers, and hours passed without any slacken Ing of the easy "triple” puce. But the morning wore away, and it became clear to Winton that De Witt had at least maintained Us lead. It was almost midday when he discov­ ered tiiut the tracks had disappeared. For some time they had been grow­ ing less distinct, for the sandy earth of the desert had yielded to flinty ground. Winton went back, found them, and discovered that the horses had struck off at an angle leading far away from the headquarters of the tribe. Hitherto the horses bad been travel­ ing almost immediately toward the hills. Yet it had seemed Improbable that De Witt could have allied him­ self with the Bechuunas. They would have rejected overtures from any white man; and De Witt, scoundrel though he was, would hardly have made them. Winton's suspicions now became a certainty in his mind. The Dutchman, who was well known throughout tbe desert country, had gathered about himself a few wander­ ing Hottentots, probably old servants or cattlemen, by whose aid ha hoped to strike across the desert Into an­ other territory. The tracks led due west, toward the heart of the almost unknown Kala­ hari, the desert of salt pans, inhabited only by a few wandering Bushmen and the antelope on which they lived. Winton knew that there was no set­ tlement of any kind, not even a native one, for hundreds of mlies Ln this di­ rection. If one went far enough, how­ ever, and knew how to live on the wild r.elons that send their tap-roots hundreds of feet Into the ground and draw up water, one would enter Ger­ man territory, where the Herrero tribesmen lived among die Infrequent oases. Thence one could strike the western shore. And Winton suddenly began to think that Van Vorat must have taken this route. Probably the same Hottentots who had accompanied De Witt bad helped Van Vorat across, the desert. They might even have cached food and water In some lonely spot. Winton’s heart sank as he followed the faint tracks mile after mile, often reduced to a slow walk in order not to lose them. Sometimes only a tuft of downtrodden, withered grass, or a few displaced pebbles allowed him his route. And then even the wisps of grass vanished, and the flinty desert lay smooth before him. It was early afternoon. Winton had been guiding himself more by instinct and judgment than by any visible traces. He realized now that he had lost the trail, and lost it half an hour before, and had been deluding hta> self with signs which were nonexist­ ent. Worse than that, it was Impos­ sible to pick up the spoor by going back. His horse had gone gamely, but it was gradually giving out. He dis­ mounted. and the beast stood panting, with drooping bead. It had ceased to sweet—an ominous sign. He left It Circle ta the hope of hitting the tracks.

And he might as well go forward as turn back. He trudged on endlessly, leading the horse, the sun a grilling fire above him. His boots were burned through from contact with the hot stones. Loose shale and flints slipped under his tread. The sun, even In Its descent, seemed to grow hotter. Winton was half deed from thirst. The panting horse was becoming a burden. At last it stood still and dropped slowly upon Its knees. It looked at him and whinnied. As Winton glanced hopelessly over the plain his eyes were arrested by the sight of a dark object lying an indefinite distance away. It was too large for a man—too black for a rock. And there were no rocks anywhere, for tbe whole plain seemed to have been crushed flat by a giant steam­ roller. Winton made his way toward It. It began to take form; it was a dead horse. It had dropped In Its tracks, and Its sufferings had been ended by a bullet through tbe head. But there were no signs of a rider, and It was Impossible to distinguish any foot­ tracks on ths stones. It was no doubt the horse that bad been ridden by one of the three. It was not De Witt's. Probably It was the Hottentot's. Winton's spirits soured upward. He set his teeth grimly and went back to hls animal. He must go on now, even If he had to leave the beast be­ hind him. He stood looking it it It had fallen upon Its stomach, and crouched thus, with Its legs bent under It It raised Its head and whinnied again faintly. It was past saving, unless water could be procured immediately. Winton drew his revolver, took care­ ful alm behind the ear, and fired. The boast’s head went down—It quivered, rolled on its ride, and died. Ant! Te fcent on. By degrees his journey became automatic, so that he was hardly conscious of his surround­ ings. He saw only the distant hills and tbq western sua descending with tantalising slowness. His tongue, swollen and numb, seemed to distend his cheeks. Sometimes the stony desert yielded for a few steps to sparse patches of flinty earth, indicat­ ing the hope of some fertile region beyond, but It always began again. The sun dipped Into the west, and still the man staggered onward. The significance of the patches of thorn scrub wan lost to him, of the rugged and broken terrain, of the foothills about him, with their straggling mi­ mosas. But suddenly Winton stopped, trembling. Green grass was at his feet, and out of a fissure in the ground there bubbled a little spring, ungueseed at by the map-makers. It was a tiny unknown oasis In the vast wilderness. De Witt had evidently possessed the secret, and had planned to make this his headquarters until the hue and cry had been dropped. Winton flung himself upon the earth beside the spring, and. burying his face in the water, drank until his shriveled veins seemed to pulse with new blood. The sun had set. and the Intense heat was changing to the Icy cold of the desert night when he arose, rested, and with all the grimness of his reso­ lution nerving him to action. He knew that Sheila could not be far away. He looked at his revolver. To his con­ sternation he discovered that only two shots remained. However. these should be enough—one, at least, would ■eve Shelia from De Witt; the other— He would not face the possibilities that unfolded themselves before him, but rose to his feet, and was about to follow the spring through a valley into the hills when something lying upon the ground attracted his attention. It was Sheila’s handkerchief. He snatched it up and pressed It to hls lipa. He felt that Shelia, had dropped It for an Indication, knowing that he would follow. Lightly he stepped forward into tbe bush-clad hill*, among the boulders. The valley opened. The scene grew desolate again. All round Winton were hills of a precipitous character, which gradually grew steeper until he found himself In a sort of level am­ phitheater, apparently Inclosed, save at the end through which he had come. Thin tufts of grass and sparse vege­ tation grew around the bases of the cliffs, but the central portion of the valley was of a dazzling whiteness, as If Incrusted with salt or alkali. Along one side were numerous trails, showing the sharp edges of the spoor of beasts. After a while Winton discovered that the white floor, on which be now walked, was not composed of mineral bat of animal matter. It was a layer of pulverised bones, thousands upon thousands, picked bare by jackals and vultures, bleached by ths sun and dis­ integrated by the passage of years. Gradually the bones grew larger until Winton was stumbling on that uneven floor. It was one of those death places of the wild beasts of the veld, often described but seldom en­ countered. It was a natural resting­ place for the antelope and creatures of pray, which, feeling the approach of death, druk their last drink at the spring and turned aside among the cliffs to dla'unmotosted. It had been used fir countless generations. Win­ ton aw the immensely long thigh­ bones of tho giraffe, exceeding the height of a man, though the beast had long since been dnven northward. There ware the skulls and borne of springbok, koodoo, hartabeeste and gnn, 'with their varying forms and spirals. Gaunt ribs stood out like the framework of old, rotting boats; teeth gaped in skulls, and in one lonely plhce, in a duster of grass, an aged hyena, whose last hunting Was done, crouched, belly flat against the ground, with open chops, and snarled in its decrepitude. Winton hurried on, trying to make the end of the valley, where he thought some pass might exist, before darkness held him a prisoner. He had nearly crossed this desolate region when he caught right of a tiny twinkle of red light on the cliff above him. He stopped, hardly able to believe It true. Another light appeared. Then came n aeries. Winton realized that these were sparks blown from a camp­ fire upon the summit His heart began to thump wildly. He stumbled forward over the bone* Darkness had fallen by the time he reached the narrow trail at the val­ ley’s end. and he had many narrow escapes among the boulders with which the way was strewn. On each ride of him the cliff rose vertically, and the pass itself, hardly wide enough to per­ mit a horse to ascend, seemed like a fissure in the mountain side made by some natural cleavage of the rocks. He had ascended to within a few feet of the summit when some Instinct halted him abruptly. Then a audden drflt of smoke toward him showed him that the camp-fire was Just at the crest Hie sound of voices reached his ears. Crawling slowly forward upon his stomach, and pulling himself to the level top of the mountain. Winton peered out from behind the cover of a mimosa tree, and saw a party of yellow Hottentots seated about the blaze. There were six or eight of them, and behind the fire was a tent which Winton knew concealed De Witt The fear that Shelia wjjs there, in the man's power, tempted Winton to rush forward. He had to use all bls Judgment to give no sign of his pres­ ence as he crouched flat behind the little tree at the edge of the precipice. Some movement must have alarmed one of the Hottentots, for he leaped to his feet with a guttural exclamation and hurled his knobkerrie toward the spot where Winton lay. It was fortu­ nate that the party had no dogs with them. The missile, whirring past Win ton’s head, crashed against a boulder and dropped to the valley below, striking from rock to rock In ths course of its descent The native, who had advanced to recover his weapon, stopped as the sound of the fall showed that It was Irrecoverable, and weut back to tbe fire. Winton’s fingers relt -red on hls re­ volver butt Another Instant and he would have fired—and lost Sheila irre­ trievably. Be lay flat In the' gruss, watching the light of the fire play upon the fierce faces about It Already the moon was rising. He could neither advance nor retire without Immediate discovery. Desperate plans chased each other through hls head In swift succession. Each turned upon the feasibility of a rush, the snatching up of a spear after he bad fired hls remaining bul­ lets, and a hopeless fight with the object of at least killing De Witt Each plan was hopeless; but then ev­ erything else was hopeless. The minute* seemed lengthening Into hours. At last Winton's plans had simmered down to this: be would not risk discovery until he was assured that Sheila was In imminent danger. For the present she was probably safe. He felt sure she was not in De Witt’s tent Where, then, was she? As hls eyes traveled from spot to spot they lit upon a recess in a wall of rock at the summit of the moun­ tain. The leaping flames of the fire Illuminated the Interior of what seemed a little cave. And somehow Winton sensed that Sheila was within that. It was some thirty yards away, and he saw little chance of reaching It un­ observed. There wdB a fringe of grass through which be might crawl for the greater part of the journey, but for the last few feet be would have to traverse bare rock, within a few feet of tbe fire. Yet ha began hls task, and It was infinitely arduous and slow. It was a matter of Inch-long move­ mento—flnrt of one arm, then of the other, then of the corresponding lower limb* The. dry blades of grass crackled under the slightest mevamont. The natives were dosing over the fire, Winton had gone perhapa stx feet when one of the Hottentots raised himself suddenly to a kneeling posi­ tion and thrust out his head toward him, peering Intently through the grass. Winton, perfectly motionless, stared for at least five minutes into the yellow face within a few feet of hie own. The man knelt like a statue, the eyeballs gleaming in tbe moon­ light, the fingers encircling the spear­ shaft Suddenly the sight faded. The moonlight was cut off abruptly, plung­ ing the land Into immediate darkness. Then a few drops bf rain began to fall. In half a mlnut, a torrent was de­ scending. It was the characteristic beginning of one of the seasonal thunderstorms. As Winton crouched near the cave, preparing to cross the open space, there came a flash of lightning that made the world as bright as day. It showed him the form of the Hottentot, motion!ess where he had been watch­ ing, the fingers still about the spear. But It showed him another right that drove the blood from hls heart. He saw De Witt crossing from the tent to the cave. So momentary was the fla«b that the man's attitude, his gesture, and the movement of hls body and limbs seemed caught as on a photographic plate He was halfway to the cave, hurrying with head bent down to shield hls . face from the rain. But Winton could still see the look of anticipation on hls features, and it was that which gave him, for the eecond time, the lust for murder. It was borne in upon him then that by no possibility could De Witt and he live In the same world together. The flash, which had given Winton hls final clue to Shellah's hiding­ place, bad shown him the topography of the mountain cleft. The place was a natural fortress. The only apparent approach was the narrow neck along which he had come. Beyond the mountain dropped In a vertical cliff, and beyond that was tbe stony desert where no tree grew and nothing could live. In the Interval between two suc­ ceeding flashes Winton crept noiseless­ ly across the open space in front of the cave and crept forward Into the darkness of the interior. As he gained the shelter of the projecting wgll, and crouched behind It, hidden alike from the sight of the Hottentots without and from those within, he heard Sheila speaking, and knew that hls search was ended.

The Nashville Greys have been reorganized for the season of 1924 and the opening game of the season will be played at Riverside park Friday afternoon, the opponents being the Lansing Reos. Nashville has prospects of having one of the fastest independent teams that It has had for several years, there being an unusually large number of candidates for places In the line-up. Postmaster R. E. Surlne will be the manager and he is confident the team will give Nashville an unusually good article of the nation­ al game this summer. The Friday game, which is the official opening game, will be preceded by a parade of the teams, led by the famous Nashville Boy Scout band, with President George C. Deane pitching the first ball and half of the regular team back of the backstop trying to catch It. ■ Game will be called at 3.30 standard time, and it is hoped that a large crowd will be present to cheer the home hopes on to victory over the team from the Capitol city.

Sharp, cutting pains would shoot through the small of my back and my kidneys would be so sore I could hardly bend one way o. the other.

"My husband promised to com­ municate with me after his death," said the widow, "but I have not had any word from him.” "Maybe the wires are too hot,” suggested Mrs. Naybor. “Did my wife speak at the meet­ ing yesterday?” "I don't know your wife, but there was a Uli, thin lady who rose and said she could not find words to ex­ press her feelings.” ‘ "That wasn’t my wife!” FOR OVER 200 YEARS MAAR I correctfc ttrvital Mrs. Greta Gibson of Clearwater, California, who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Knoll of Maple Grove, in a letter to home friends gives the following Interesting facts about the hoof and mouth disease, which has become a real problem In that state: "The hoof and mouth disease Is rapidly advancing. About a thou­ sand head of cattle are killed each day in the Clearwater and Hynes vicinity (Los Angeles county). This morning two herds were condemned. One was a herd of four hundred and eighty cows, about two miles from us. The other was a small dairy herd across the boulevard from our home. Our dairy is "quite a step," about as far from the postofflee to Felghner's store from the house. So now we know it will be only a chance or a protection from heaven that will keep our herd from getting it. As the old adage goes, "While there’s life there's hope,” so we’re hoping. Earl got home last night from working on a thirty hour shift, dig­ ging the trench and burying about two hundred cows. Mr. Merritt, who owned them, got 8140 a head for them. But a man who had a much more valuable herd got only 860 each. It seems to be the man with the most "spunk” who can get the highest appraisal. One man, sixtyfive years of age, after his cows were killed and paid for, bad 81200 to live on the rest of his days. When the diggers enter the dis­ eased area, they take off their own clothes and put on white pants, jackets and boots. Before leaving, these white outfits are burned, and after they are dressed in their street clothes they are fumigated with for­ maldehyde fumes. Sometimes the first Indication of the presence of the disease is a great drop-off in milk production. For instance, the Merritt cow was giving 10 gal. of milk and dropped off to 3 quarts. The cows are ill several dayj before the blisters break out on them, so the whole herd is ex­ posed. An official from Washington gave three other reasons why the cows were killed. First, a cow re­ covering from the first attack of H. and M. disease will be low In milk production. Second, a cow recover­ ing from the second attack of H. and M. disease can never calve. Third, the cow will not recover from the third attack, so it is the wisest plan to kill them at first. The state has been trying to stamp the disease out, so it will not become as It has in Holland, France and Germany. Manx thousands of good dairy cattle have been killed in Cal­ ifornia since the epidemic. The herd of Fred Hartsook in Lankersheim, one of the world’s best Holstein herds, went under the ground a few weeks ago. Mr Hart­ sook had refused 850.000 for some of the calves. One cow, valued at 826,­ 000 was appraised at 8750. The cattle are burned In great trenches, length and width according to the number of cows. The depth is eight feet. The cattle are driven Into this trench and shot down by a sharpshooter. Mr. Gibson said that of the whole two hundred cows kill­ ed yesterday only two had to be shot at twice. Some skill for a gunman! Before filling the grave with earth, the flanks of the cows are cut and filed with quicklime. This quick­ lime destroys the animal matter tn about five days. Before the dairy is left every bit of wood or rubbish Is destroyed and the whole surface Is covered with lime. The corral fences and barns are scraped, washed with disinfec­ tant and then kslaomlned. No cat­ tle can go into this dairy for ninety days. After that period, one cow is put on and if she does not take the disease then another herd may go in. Earl is off now on a 72 hour shift. They ere to bury 480 head today. About 600 more will go under this afternoon If they can get the trench ready in time. The men get 85.00 for every eight hours’ work.” Friends and promoters of Ameri­ ca's entrance Into the league of na­ tions. please take notice that for a second time President Coolidge de­ ciares: 'Our country refuses to ad­ here to the covenant of the league of nations with a decisive rejection which I regard as Anal.” Is not this sufficiently definite, as far as the President is concerned? AUTOMOBILE MENACES. (Albion Recorder.) There are two big dangers in au­ tomobile driving—yourself and the other fellow. It is no small task to fit one's self to be a sane and responsible driver, capable to go out on the highways and drive with skill, moderation, courtesy and sense. But after one Is a skillful and reasonable driver, there still remains the menace of the man beyond your control—the "fool" who Is out on the road, with just as potential a death dealing machine as your own. Here are the things you have to look out for In automobile driving: The man who goes by you from the front, the man behind and the man behind who 1s not content to stay there but passes you on the side. There are five classes of drivers— and Albion has its quota of them— for whom one has to be coustantly on the look-out. Arranged some­ what in the order of their menace to people they are: The drunken man at the wheel. (One big reason why the 18th amend­ ment will never be repealed.) The reckless driver. (The "smart Alec" class that is omnipresent and that seems to have easy access to someone's car, it not their own.) The plain Incompetent pilot. (The Intelligence ranking of some drivers should land them tn the home for the feeble minded at Lapeer. Yet they are given control over a ma­ chine that can rival the Michigan Central flyers for speed.) The panicky person In control of the car. (The drivers who lose their heads in an emergency and step on the gasoline when they should use the brake, are quite common.) The sleepy and half-alert driver. (There was an accident here Sunday caused by the lapse of one such driv­ er. .Every honest driver will admit that"he has had some time during his driving experience, times when he dozed off and there might easily have been a serious accident.) At the present time most any­ one, not committed to the Insane asylum or a uelpiess Invalid, can get a driver’s license and get out on the highway ready to "step on her” and burn up the road. The more reck­ less the driver, the less responsibil­ ity for an accident he might cause. An engineer on a railroad system has to pass all manner of tests. He can not drive a locomotive If he is color blind: he cannot drive if his intel­ ligence test is not the highest. He cannot drive If his eyesight is at all defective. And yet an engineer does not have to steer his steed—the rails are laid out there for It to pass over. Consider the foolishness—yea, the almost criminality—of our licensing system. We put a machine capable of going fifty or sixty miles an hour into the hand of every Tom, Dick and Harry. We ask little of a driver’s menu! qualifications, nothing of his judgment or sense; nothing of his financial responsibility If bls >75.00 second-hand pile of junk wrecks a one thousand dollar car. If a drunk­ en driver runs all over the street and narrowly escapes killing several peo­ ple, he gets a slap on the wrist In­ stead of being sent to jail for ten years and losing his license for life. After we allow most anyone -to run an automobile, he Is not then given steel rails, like the locomotive en­ gineer, on which to run his car. but is turned loose in the highway, to keep clear. If he can, from hundreds of other cars. He not only has to control the mechanism of the ear, but he has to keep the car away from other cars. In the right place at the right time.

We have been very busy the last few months, having tests and pre­ paring for the 7th grade examina­ tion. The third, fourth, fifth and sev­ enth grade took the Standardized Silent Reading tests, in most cases the rate and comprehension was very good. The fifth grade has been having tests in language, covering all the book. Dorothy and Ceylon Garlinger and Harry Lilly have received their Pal­ mer Method buttons in penmanship and are now working towards a cer­ tificate. The judges from Lansing came to judge our club work May 7th, and we received word from them that ow­ ing to the delay of some of the teachers sending in their reports, they were unable to give us a report on our work yet. We are anxious­ ly waiting. Kathleen Moore won the prize for the rural schools in selling tags fori Pennock hospital. We had-four new pupils enter school the first of May. Kathleen Moore is practicing on running every day, so as to be able to compete with others at Hastings on June 18. Arbor Day we talked about birds and trees and planted trees. We made booklets for our moth­ ers for Mother's Day. At Easter time Betty Jane Franck found an Easter Rabbit’s nest that had enough eggs in for all the chil­ dren and teacher. The seventh grade’s last poster was a milk poster. Ceylon Garlinger and Carrol Ham­ ilton have only a few more days to be faithful and they will receive their diplomas for being neither ab­ sent nor tardy for the entire year. A Soquel to “PENROD" No Advance in Prices STILL SAFE AND SOUND. Let the people not be alarmed. There has been no breaking down of government. Let there be no anxi­ ety. The guilt of one man, if prov­ en, can not effect the stability of this great country. Such guilt is in­ dividual. It does not change the in­ tegrity, the power, the genius of this great government of the United States. No guilty person will be shielded. No party wants any crim­ inal protected. At the same time the fairness and common sense of the American people under the steady guidance of our President will se­ cure even-handed justice for all. The Interests of the people continue to hold and have faith in their Presi­ dent, in their congress, in their courts, in their government, which, under either party, through all the years past, has proven its virtue and honesty to the benefit and glory of the American people. The past With its great achievements and its great figures Is the infallible guaranty to the people for the future.

In Vermont they tell the story ot a brilliant young lawyer whose ser­ vices were sought by a quaint old fanner of some seventy odd years. "Young man,” said the latter, "I -want to leave all I have to my wife as long as she remains a widow. Af­ ter that I want everything to go to my children.” "How old is your wife?” "Sixty-two." “Then," suggested the lawyer, wouldn’t it be quite safe to omit the discourteous phrase about 'so long as she remains a widow?” Just leave her everything" "I won't do it,” said the old man doggedly. "Bat,” argued the lawyer, "sure­ ly you don't think that the lady, now sixty-two, will marry again after your death, do you?” Whereupon the old chap regarded his lawyer solemnly for a moment, and then added: "Well, son, there's no telling what young chaps like you will do for the money.’’—American Legal News. The man had been brought into court on the charge of non-support. a cage of tigers and leopards?'’ "Yea, your honor.” "Pretty exciting, wasn't It?” "Well, your honor, ft seemed so then. It wouldn't now.” "Just my luck,” said the prisoner, he threw the magazine across his protruding rocka He had”just re­ gained this refuge when another flash showed De Witt standing on the op­ posite brink, less than six feet dis­ tant, aiming at where Winton had been. With horror Winton saw that Sheila stood In the line of fire. She was standing motionless, staring after Winton, horror and anguish on her face. The sight of her peril electrified Winton. He leaped into the darkness. He heard the shot ring out, but his onset bad deflected his enemy’s alm. And this time be had De Witt in his arms, pinioning the hand that held the revolver. On the brink of the abyss the two* fought for their Uvea They were bo equally matched that neither seemed able to budge the other. Each was nerved to the utmost by the realization of his peril. But Winton was fighting fee Sheila— Sheila, whom the next flash showed standing, quivering with fear, upon the find the way here, rad even if he knew where you are he couldn’t cross the desert You’re In my power—and I'm offering to marry you.

You shall have your fling tn Johannesburg and live with the beet people. Sheila, I love you—" "If you loved me, Mr. Do Witt you would ecorn to threaten me." “I’m talking plain sense.

I clung to that belief in spite of everything." “Well, it was the truth," said De Witt grudgingly. Then his tone sof­ tened. “Sheila, I've got you now, and, by Heavens, I won't let you go!” he said. There was a struggle in the cave. The girl uttered a cry. And at that moment Winton bounded forward. The second cry that came from Sheila's lips was drowned in the roll of the reverberating thunder that fol­ lowed a vivid lightning flash. In that In­ stant Winton saw De Witt standing, one arm grasping Sheila to him, while his eyes dilated as he recognized her rescuer confronting him, revolver in hand. The darkness and the echoes of the thunder K-emed interminable. Sheila broke from De Witt with a cry and ran to Winton. He felt her arms about him, but be thrust her gently aside. "I have you covered,’’ he celled to De Witt “If I hear you stir, or if you cry out I fire." No answer came. Winton waited, tense, his revolver aimed at the spot where he Imagined De Witt to be. The next flash showed the outlaw standing with his bock against the wail of the cave, a dozen feet distant. The flash and Do Witt's shot were al­ most Kim ill Lanto up Winton saw a chip fly from the rocky wall beside him. He sprang for De Witt, touched him, lost him, and stood prating for the next flash. It came, and the two shots rang out together, though the sound of the dis­ charge was lost in the rolling thunder rad the pattering rain. Both missed. Winton fired again rad missed again. He realized that his last bullet was gone. He must catch De Witt at. the next flash rad overcome him before be could fire. But he could hear nothing, and be lost his bearings in the complete darkness. In the light of the next flash Winton saw that De Witt had disappeared. He glared furiously about him. Then a bullet whipped his cheek, be heard a faint crack from one side of him, rad he saw, before the light vanished. De Witt's hand emerge apparently from behind the solid wall at the back of the cava A serie# of flashes illuminated the entire interior. Now Winton could see a narrow opening in the wall at the back of the receaa De Witt did ■cot fire—perhaps be thought that Win­ ton had him covered. Winton leaped forward, found the opening, rad stopped. Some Instinct of caution held him rooted to the spot. The thunder peals were deafraing. The rain was driving into the cave, which was ankle-deep in water. Sud­ denly Winton realized that the rivulet felt himself bend backward, be grasped at nothingness; he fell, dragging his eoemy after him. With & convulsive effort be caught at and clung to the projecting ledge, His feet felt for a hold. De Witt, who had evidently emptied _ bis revolver, brought down the butt oo Win­ ton's bends. Winton clung with des­ peration. Across the chasm he heard Sheila screaming, and the lightning flashes. which were almost continuous, showed him her figure with hardly per­ ceptible Intervals of darknera De Witt was leaning forward over the chasm, his feet planted upon the edge, striving to detach Winton from his perilous hold. Again and again the revolver butt came down. Winton heard a bone In his wrist splinter. He let one hand go, swinging out over the chasm. De Witt, bracing himself against the well, was pushing with all his strength. Suddenly Winton remembered a school trick. If ba should let himself go, De Witt's own Impetus would carry him after him. Could he swing free and catch the opposite bank in fall­ ing? He could hold on do longer. Open­ ing his bruised hand, be plunged down­ ward and forward. By a miracle hs found the edge of the chasm on the outer side of the eave. He swung there dizzily. He drew himself up­ ward. At the same instant he heard De Witt fall forward. The Dutchman clawed at the rocka, missed them, struck Winton; and with a scream that echoed above the thunder be went hurtling down to death. It was seconds before the distant thud of the body upon the rocks be­ neath the gorge told Winton that De Witt would trouble Sheila no more. Witten reached the cave, stood up, and caught Shelia in his arms. She was fainting, her lips sought his own feebly; then her head dropped on bls shoulder. By the next flash of lightning Win­ ton measured the gap. He could al­ most straddle it; could he, bearing Sheila, make the leap? He hesitated. Then, with wild yells, the Hotten­ tots, who had heard De Witt's ~ry, came swarming up toward the en­ trance of the cave. Winton measured the distance with his eyes and leaped. It was a terrific jump for a man carrying an uncon­ scious woman Id his arms. He tot­ tered upon the opposite edge, but did not fall. The Hottentots were just entering the cave. Winton, crouching behind the ledge, saw them stare about them in amazement He saw that the narrow orifice wid­ ened behind him into a larger cavern. An enormous boulder, hanging from tbs roof, poised like a rocklng-aieuf upon a smaller one, partly concealed the approach. At once an Idea, born of his desperate situation, came to Winton. If he could dislodge the stone he could effectively bar ths Hot­ tentots from following him. He set Shelia down and put Ms shoulder against the boulder. It stirred, it rocked, it resumed its posi­ tion. Another flash—and he was seen. Yelling, the Hottentots rushed forward. Tlie foremost saw the chasm and hesi­ tated. Then Winton, putting forth all his deep crevice. A single forward step strength, shifted the stone.

At the close of their visit a bugler sounded "taps" and the cavalcade returned to the • school house, where all the students formed in line, and preceded by the Nashville Boy Scout band, marched to the Put­ nam public library, where a hand­ some flag was presented to the li­ brary by George O. Dean, one of our few remaining civil war veterans. Mr. Dean's presentation speech was brief, but it came from the heart and was appreciated by all who heard it. At 10.30 the crowd repaired to the park, where several selections were splendidly rendered by the band. Lit­ tle Fern Schulze read the Governor's Memorial Day Proclamation. John Wotring and Roe Tuttle pleased the immense crowd with a fine saxophone duet. Rev. Arthur Longfleld made an appropriate Invocation, which was followed by a song by a male quar­ tette, consisting of R. H. McNltt, Rev. F. E. Putnam, Geo. C. Deane and Harold Springett. James B. Field of Jackson was then introduced and made a fine Me­ morial day address, which was at­ tentively listened to and highly ap­ preciated by all, after which the crowd was dismissed with a benedic­ tion. W. C. T. U. The W. C. T. U. met with Mrs. Carrie Evans May 29, with a good attendance. Meeting opened by president, Mr:. Rilla Deller. Devotlonals conducted by Mrs. Llbbie Rey­ nolds. Minutes of last meeting ac­ cepted as read. Mrs. Lila Surine, superintendent of Christian Citizenship, gave a short talk on that work. After a short business meeting, Mrs. Julia Jones took charge of the program. Song by members. "Sound the Jubilee." "Spigot-Bigot,” a poem, was read by Mrs. Minnie Thomias. A solo by Mrs. Nettie Parrott. "Give the Flow­ ers to the Living", was enjoyed by all. An article was read by Mrs. Alice Pennock, "Increase or De­ crease—Why?" This article dealt with the growth of the membership in the local union’s work for an in­ crease in membership, and not be dis­ couraged, keep posted, be the most active, best informed and the best union in the state. "My Opportuni­ ty for Community Service.” was re­ sponded to by several members. “The Beautiful Shoe," a song by Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Winans and Mrs. Crupo. was well received. "The Effect of Prohibition on Industry”, by Rilla Deller. She gave some statements from presidents of different indus­ trial plants. One from Clarence Howard, president of Commonwealth Steel Co., St. Louis. This company under normal conditions employs about 2,000 men and as we operate in industrial centers, where there are a considerable number of foreignborn, we feel that we are competent to express an opinion regarding pro­ hibition In industry. Solely from an industrial standpoint, prohibition is one of the greatest possible safety measures because a man with alco­ hol in his system is not a safe man in a shop. Prohibition saves a man's wages for' his family, makes him a kinder husband, father and citizen, and in every way a better man. F. E. Kaufman, Barnet. Croft & Kauf­ man Milling Co.. St. Louis, says x‘mpoyes of labor no longer complain of their workmen absenting themselves from their work or being out of con­ dition to perform their best service on the first of the week. It is un­ thinkable that prohibition will ever be abrogated from the United States. The meeting* closed by singing the Temperance d oxology. Adjourned to nfeet with Mrs. Chas. Ackett June 12. Flower Mission Day. Leader, Mrs. Alda Schantz. IJBRARY NOTES. A number of people seem to have a mistaken idea as to the donor of the flag presented to the Library on Decoration day. It was not a gift from the village, but was purchased and presented by Mr. George O. Dean, who saw service in the Civil war and knows what it meant to keep the stars all on the flag as many others do. Those who have contributed books recently are Mrs. Albert Lentz, C. A. Roscoe, Mrs. ,L. E. Lentz and Mrs. Ola Chaffee of Grand Rapids. There has been ordered a list of new bqpks which are expected in a few days. GRANGE NOTICE.

FINEST OF CROOK DRAMAS TO BE SHOWN AT PARK"Big Brother,” a Rex Beach story and a Paramount picture, featuring Tom Moere, Raymond Hatton and Edith Roberts, will be the big at­ traction at the Park Theatre next Sunday and Monday evenings, June 8-9. It’s an Allan Dwan production and something really big in the line of entertainment. The theme is that old. yet ever-new topic of re­ generation. and the story centers about a New York gangster who falls heir to a little boy and wages an amazing fight to "bring him up de­ cent.” Not since "Over the Hills’* and "The Miracle Man” has there been a picture produced that will tug at your heart like "Big Brother," and you can see it at a small advance in price—adults 30c, including tax; kiddies 10c. E. V. Barker closed a deal Monday whereby he bought the ffvan Briggs farm of 147 acres, a mile east of Lacey, and which he owns free and clear of incumbrance. This is an exceptionally good -farm and is well located. This makes over 300 acres of land which Mr. Barker now owns, free and clear of any incumbrance whatever, and which ought to pub an end to some of the wild storlM which have .recently been floating around the community. This deal was made through the E. E. Gibson agency by O. D. Freeman. Here’s a suggestion. If you want to really be a “Big Brother,” hunt up so me youngster who would not otherwise get to go, and take him with yon to see "Big Brother" at the Park theatre next Sunday or Mon­ day night. It will do you both good. "Big Brother" is a Rex Beach story, and it carries a wonder-* fu| lesson which will do any young* •ter good. _ �= ■xa What Every (Graduate Hopes to Get!

MUNRO a—- Discount iiiiiiiiiiiiim iiiiiiiimmu' EDITORIAL A WORD FOR THE RETAILER. We read a great deal in the pa­ pers these days about the farmer who is suffering from a most painful deflation, and about the poor labor­ ing man who has his wages curtail­ ed from the high standard of war times. And it is all said with good reason, for'both tbe farmer and the laboring man have been hard hit during this period of readjustment. However, there is another n*n who never seems to have a friend at court and whose troubles are rarely considered, and that is the retail merchant. , Very few people realize all the trouble the retailer has to contend with, or how many losses he is obliged to stand up under and still smile. He buys heavily of certain lines, feeling certain these lines are just what his customers will demand. The season is wrong or styles change and he is called upon to sacrifice what he hoped would be a decent pro­ fit and take a deficit in its place. If he handles groceries, he may load up with green stuff, only to have a few days of bad weather, with small trade, apd most of it goes stale on his hands and has to be dumped in­ to the garbage. He has losses from bad debts and other things to an alarming amount. One .Nashville merchant has lost to our knowledge more than >1500 in the last few years from burglars, yet he can not carry burglar insurance on account ot the prohibitive premiums. This job of supplying the people with the goods they wish, of the quality they desire, of style up to the minute, and satisfying all customers, some of them unreasonable enough, is not all roses and pie. He is called upon to contribute to every cause that comes up; he is ex­ pected to help support the base ball team, the band, the church, the community needs in general, and if anybody meets with misfortune he is always reaching down into his pocket when the subscription paper comes in at the door. He is always at your service, he is always expected to be pleasant and affable, to give credit when it is de­ sired and much too often sees mail order gpods coming in to a past cus­ tomer who owes him a heavy bal­ ance. Every day, in every way, he has a lot of unpleasant things to stand for and to put up with, yet he comes up smiling and is always at hand ready to supply your needs when you call upon him. He Is as much en­ titled to make a living for himself and his family as any of the rest of us, manufacturer, farmer, bricklay­ er or printer, and he should not be criticised too severely if his price is aomettees a Mt higher on some things than the mail order house, or the big city merchant. He’s a pret­ ty useful citizen, taking him all around, and we would be in a bad fix without him. Rub—'The United States has ear for every fourteen persons.” Dub—”G'wan?

Occasionally we hear of someone getting all jammed up because of the much speed with an automobile and tbe victims are usually young bloods who think they have the best gaso­ line eaters. It was different on Monday when two of our young citi­ zens, John Cline and Wm. Surbrook, indulged in a little horse race over on the Lexington road. Surbrook was driving along as sedately as any­ one could when “young” Clin'' came up from behind and tried to go past. It was anybody’s race until the tongue in Cline’s wagon came down and this beat the latter, and inci­ dentally bruised him up a whole lot. He was thrown from his wagon, had his face cut somewhat and was oth­ erwise shaken up, but it failed to shake the belief out of him that he could beat the other fellow, and we expect he will try it again as soon as he geta out from under the doc­ tor’s care.—Croswell Jeffersonian. ”1 never knew till I got a car,” said Bishop Eighty, “that profanity was so prevalent."

In spite of her unappreciative nature, Susan Hazlett had to confare that tbs girl was a beauty. “Not one In tbe village could match her for eyes; and as for hair— such a rich shade of brown, with wavy goldish streaks in U—" Tbe frown again settled. “Where In the world have you been?

Tbe “big store" offered him a chance, and he was wise enough to grasp IL ginning of a new life. For Mary had made up her mind. She was going to the city—to John's city— with John. To confide in her mother, she knew, would be worse than useleas, so she had doc attempted IL Aunt.Becca hod dow coms to make her home with them, and good old Maggie was a faithful helper.

There was little to trouble Mary In the way of packing; her suitcase proved amply large for all that she cared to carry with ber. She glanced at her wrist-watch—the one mother had given ber on ber last birthday. In twenty minutes I Trembling Bhe pinned the note to ber dreeser scarf, catch­ ing her breath with a little hysterical nob as she did eo. Then, half smiling, half sobbing, she toered a kiss to the little bedroom that she was leaving forever, and stole softly down the stairs. Her mother and Aunt Becca were talking quietly in the living room, and the girl paused as she heard her own name. “Mary's a good girl, Becca." “She's been a faithful daughter to you, Susan." “Yes. I’ve been kind of hard on her, too, I guess, but she never complains. You know, Becca—” Susan Hazlett paused, and her voice shook as she went on— “You know, I sometimes think Mary likes John Gaston.

Nearly all seventh and eighth graders have completed the required work in penmanship. The seventh and eighth grades held a ciphering contest last Thurs­ day afternoon. Genevieve Hafner, an eighth grader, won the contest. I noticed that she was quivering as I approached her, and I could not help but see that her breath came In quick, sharp gasps. My heart sof­ tened and I resolved that although I had been miserably hard on her, I would not be in the future. My er­ rant heart had even prompted me to leave her now that her first youth was passed, and I was ashamed. Af­ ter all, she was my pal, my standby. She had ever been ready to follow my slightest wish, to go with me to the ends ot the earth. My conscience smote me as I gazed on her today. She was still vigorous, still sufficient­ ly up to the minute to pass muster anywhere. All she needed was of coat Of paint and a new set of tires.

Park CNatre It Was a Fierce Battle for a Ft Minutes But the Officer Won it. Saturday last Undersheriff Ward Quick was bitten upon the arm, hand and leg by a dog which has been kept for a few weeks at the Jail This dog is a cross of German Police and Belgian breed. He had been prev­ iously kept In the fraternity house st Ann £rbor, to which Sheriff Par­ ker's son Albert belongs. The dog had shown a dislike to one of tho members of the fraternity and made himself so disagreable to that stu­ dent that attempts were made to sell him. No bids being made the dog was brought to this city by Mr. Par­ ker’s son and has been kept here at the jaB, awaiting final disposition. He is a wonderfully intelligent dog and had never, previous to Saturday, shown any disposition to be other­ wise than very friendly to Mr. Quick and to all the occupants of the jail. Saturday, however, a man came into the jail office to whom the dog had taken a dislike. He had seen this same man before, had shown his displeasure at that time; but this time he was determined to get at the man. Mr. Quick grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him in­ to the hallway leading into the office; but before he could shut the door the dog came through, and it was a fur­ ious battle for a minute or so, un­ til Mr. Quick thoroughly subdued him with a kick under the jaw .that sent him into the corner a very meek canine. A The Undersheriff had some iodine in the office and at once cauterized the wounds, thoroughly, so that no ill effects are anticipated. The dog now wears a muzzle. Mr. Quick's injuries are painful but not serious. —Hastings Banner. FERTILE EGGS CAUSE LOSS TO FARMERS EVERY SUMMER A largo part of tho loss caused by eggs spoiling in warm weather can bo prevented by producing only In­ fertile eggs during the late spring and summer. This loss, which is conservatively estimated at more than $15,000,000 a year, falls al­ most entirely on the producer. Not only does ho lose tho value of tho eggs which spoil, but tho producer suffers a further material loss in the reduction of the number of eggs consumed caused by people getting bad eggs among those they purchase. This loss can be entirely prevent­ ed by producing only Infertile eggs during warm weather. This Is ac­ complished by taking all male birds out of the flock after the breeding season Is over. The rooster has no Influence on the number of eggs pro­ duced, and should either bo market­ ed or killed—the meat can be can­ ned—or he should be kept penned up. The United States Department of Agriculture has just published a large poster showing the difference in the keeping qualities of infertile and fertile eggs during warm weath­ er. This poster also gives simple rules for producing good quality eggs on farms during the latter part of the spring, throughout the summar, and into the early fall months. “Penrod and Sam “The Broken Wing'* • with Kenneth Harlan and Miriam Cooper i ALSO A SUNSHINE COMEDY Bunday, Monday, Juno B and 9— BIG BROTHER A REX BEACH STORY with Tom Moore and Edith Roberta A Paramount Picture.

(From the Ingluun County News.) Once in about so often in our trav­ els about town some one brings up tho question of buying by mall from the big cities or by auto from the nearby larger towns. This brings up the question of who is the bet­ ter citizen and community builder, he who fosters a desire to be of real service to his community or the one who lets George do IL , Right In this town as in every oth­ er tbwn, big or little, is the man who takes no responsibility for ihe place in which he lives. In many cases he seeks to do business and finds fault because his neighbors do not turn their trade but who himself does ab­ solutely nothing to promote the in­ terests of the community, commer­ cial or otherwise. It is quite apt to be the truth that this is the indi­ vidual who has most to say about those who seek other trading marts. What we are saying has been said many times before, but needs to be said again and again. There are many good reasons why the home town merchant is entitled to the patronage of the town and territory within its trading radius. Owners of business buildings, equipment and stocks are also own­ ers of residence property and in the aggregate pay most of'4he taxes and Excellent Irishism. The case concerned a will, and an other development costs—the ex­ pense of making it a good town In Irishman was a witness. Money spent with "Was the deceased," asked the which to live. lawyer, "in the habit of talking to them helps to build and maintain schools and churches, sewer systems, himself when he was alone?" paved streets, parks, court house—in “I don't know,” wgs the reply.

But a portion or all of every dol­ lar spent at home stays at home long after your purchase Is gone, and continues to buy supplies, some of them from you. What we all need more than any­ thing else Is a vision of our own business enterprises whether it be a retail store, a factory or a farm. The beet way for a small town merchant to get and hold business is to have an ideal to which that business may be shaped. Keep for sale, what the people want, in quality as varied and in quantity as large as consistent with the possible volume of business. Then "tell the world." Persistent advertising Is one of the methods ot merchandising which are absolutely necessary to business growth. No man who advertises can be a dishon­ est merchant. When a merchant sits down to write an advertisement, he puts his business on record where the people may learn of the things he has to sell, of the quality ot the goods offered, of the prices he is ask­ ing for them, of the service he is pre­ pared to extend to his customers. A merchant who advertises a good bus­ iness helps to advertise a communi­ ty. It is up to all to boost our town. We can but do that by boosting our own business first. A Question of Values.

Blasco Ibanez, the Spanish novel­ ist, said the other day in New York, apropos of Frank Gould's suit to re­ strain his former wife, Edith Kelley Gould, from dancing at the Alham­ bra in Paris under the Gould name: "Edith Kelley was a chorus girl when Frank Gould married her. Mil­ lionaires, dukes and princes fre­ quently marry chorus girls, but how often do great ladies stoop to mar­ ry chorus men? Not very often, if at all. “This proves that woman is more practical than man.

A member of Wichita’s traffic squad was directing the cross streams ot motor cars at a busy cor­ ner in that enterprising etty one day recently, when here came a Mg powerful car from the east, cuttAg through the line at a high rate of speed. Quicker than thought, the traffic cop leaped on tbe big car's running board, and ordered the driv­ er to hit it up to police headquar­ ters. The driver, without slowing down, yelled back over his shoulder, "Say, officer, were you ever in Okla­ homa?" "No,” thundered the cop, "but that’s all right—you drive right on to police headquarters!” "Well,” remarked the driver, 'hang on tight then, officer, 'cause you're going to Oklahoma right now.”—Kansas City Star.

THURSDAY. JUNE 12, 1924 VOLUME LI ANIMATED DISCUSSION MARKS CLUB MEETING COMMUNITY CLUB SESSION MON­ DAY' NIGHT BROUGHT OUT MANY' TOPICS FOR ARGUMENT. Congressman Ketcham Invited Speak at Next Meeting, to Held Monday Evening, June 23. "To close or not to close Thursday afternoons" was one of. the subjects warmly discussed at > the regular meeting of the Nashvile-Communlty club Monday evening and no definite decision was arrived at. A question box brought out many other Interesting topics, only a por­ tion of which could be reached in the course of the evening. About seventy members sat dow.n at 7 o'clock to an excellent supper prepared by C. H. Brown and an able corps of assistants. Following the supper the business meeting was called to order by Pres­ ident Pennock, and the topic of Thursday afternoon closing, which had been presented at a previous meeting and been made a special order of business for this meeting, war presented and thoroughly dis­ cussed by a number of bankers, far­ mers and merchants. No decision was arrived at and it was finally or­ dered that a committee be appointed to interview the merchants to see how many of them approved of the plan. The committee consists of Chris Marshall, E. A. Hannemann and H. D. Wotring. They will make a canvass of the business places and make their report at the next meet­ ing, with strong prospects that the verdict will be to keep the business places open. Following this discussion ) the meeting was turned over to C. L. Glasgow as toastmaster. Chas. J. Betts led in a short session of com­ munity singing, with Rev. F. E. Put­ nam at the piano. Floyd Feighner sang a bass solo and was compelled to respond to an insistent encore. Blank cards ha? been placed at each plate and the toastmaster asked each one to write a suggestion or ask a question. When the cards were gathered up a great variety of top­ ics was disclosed, some of which were freely discussed by those pres­ ent. Among these was the proposi­ tion of using asphaltum top-coating on the newly-gravelled streets, about which there was considerable diversi­ ty of opinion. Th ft subject is likely to come up again later, when the new gravel has had time to pack and a suitable top course of finer gravel has been applied. Another question which brought out considerable discussion was "What does the farmer expect of the merchant?” A number of farmers took part in the discussion and some excellent points were brought out. L. D. Gardner probaby came close to the general consensus of opinion in his expression that what was desired is fair and square dealing on both sides, with the golden rule predomi­ nating. Roy Brumm also made a good point that many of the farmers held off establishing friendly rela­ tions with the merchant, under the false impression that the merchant "felt above" the farmer customer, which he was satisfied was not the case. One question propounded was a stumper for everybody. "Can any­ thing be done to place farm products on a basis with what the farmer has to buy?” Nobody seemed to feel qualified to discuss the subject and it was voted to invite Congressman Ketcham to attend the next session of the club, to be held on Monday evening, June 23. to discuss the problem. While various other topics were la the hands of the chairman for pre­ sentation, the clnb voted to accept an invitation from Manager Sprague of the Park theat: a to be his guests at a showing of the special feature picture, "Big Brother,” and the meet­ ing was adjourned for that purpose. A large number of those present ac­ cepted the invitation and were great­ ly pleased with the entertainment, "Big Brother" being one of the best feature* which has been presented at the local picture house this year. It is«hoped that Congressman Ketcham may be able to be with us at the next meeting, and that there will be a record attendance to hear him. GENEROUS JUNIORS FEED STARVING SENIORS. The annual Junior-Senior banquet was held at the Community House Monday evening and proved a most highly enjoyable affair. About 70 were present, including the guests of honor, the teaching staff, the school bokrd and the hosts. The decorations were purple, green and gold, combining the colors of the two classes. The banquet was at seven o'clock and was served by the south of Washington street division of the Methodist L. A. 8., being pro­ nounced entirely satisfactory by all who participated. Following the banquet a snappy and highly entertaining program was presented, with Superintendent G. E. Bersette as toastmaster, and many members of both classes in­ cluded in the display of oratory and musical talent. COASTS BACKWARD DOWN BIG OVERSMITH HILL. Sumner Hartwell Has 1711111108 Ex­ perience With Five-Ton Truck and Big Load of Gravel. "Whoopee! That was one wild ride!” ejaculated Sumner Hartwell when the gang lifted a big five-ton gravel truck off him at the bottom of the Oversmith hill Friday. Sumner, who has been driving one of the big gravel trucks all spring on the work on M-79, was going up the hill Friday with a load of gravel, when a pin in the driving gear shear­ ed off and the big truck started back down the hill. He slammed on the brakes but they would not hold and away the outfit went, backing down toward the bridge. Sumner plucklly stuck to the steering wheel and endeavored to keep the truck in the road, trusting to a big pile of dirt on the west side of the bridge to stop him in his mad career, but the truck swung enough to one side so that only one of the rear wheels struck the mound of dirt, and over the truck toppled into the ditch, with Sumner pinned under the cab, which was badly smashed. Workmen hastily gathered and lifted the wreckage of the cab off him and pulled him out, somewhat disfigured and banged up. but able to tackle one of the big trucks again the next day. Only, that isn't just the way he likes to coast. Says he'd much pre­ fer to take it head-on. KALAMAZOO NORMAL FINISHES BIG CLASS. Two Nashville students are among the 877 who graduate from Western State Normal at Kalamazoo this month. They are Miss Thelma Dahlstrum and Mrs. G. H. Butler.

The fire department was called out early Friday morning by an incip­ ient fire at the Gribbln saw mill in the southwest part of town. The fire was discovered in Its infancy by railroad workmen sleeping in cars on the west elevator siding. One of them ran to the station and gave the alarm,, while others ran over to the mill and bad the flames nearly under control when the department arrived. The fire caught in dust and rub­ bish which had accumulated between UK chimney and the building and had it not been promptly discovered would have resulted in a bad loss. As it was, the loss Is nominal and the hazardous condition has been remedied. <*» MUSICAL PROGRAM To be Given by Pupils of Mrs. Edith Purchls, Monday Evening, June 16 Edelweiss (Vanderbeck) ..

Jackson, Michigan Sir John Dyke proposed gently so a* not to startle the lovely young girl sitting so confidingly close to him in his big car, “am I far too bld for you to consider as a hus» band? I want you to marry me very, very much." , A bright flush sprang Into Nan’s cheeks, and she turned her trustful blue eyes straight toward his own. “Oh. Sir John,” she smiled softly, "you irlng me a great honor. I—I know what to say. Your friendship for me, the hundred and one lovely little things you do for me, your constant core and thoughtfulness have been the sweetest attentions I have ever had." She gazed affectionately at him. "I hardly think any younger man could have a tenth of the under­ standing that you have, and that means so much in happy marriages." “I feel sure I can make you far happier flian some young, thoughtless cub wbo might continually be stabbing your so sensitive spirit. I want you to spread your wings and grow big. I can help you wonderfully. Nan." “It is only a reflection of your own bigness that you see in me," said Nan. When Sir John Dyke would have con­ tradicted her she stopped him with a hand laid softly over his. "I will mar­ ry yotf." she said, “and try to become exactly what you want me to bez" Sir John, confused for a fleeting sec­ ond by her swift consideration and an­ swer, stooped swiftly and pressed his lips to each of Nan’s pink palms. The contact sent an unexpected stab at his heart Nan's eyes opened wide, her lips parted with a swift intake of breath. A moment of tense silence followed, broken then by Sir John. His voice was not altogether steady. “Ton will not regret my dear?" he questioned, and when she shook her head slowly, not trusting bar voice, he added; and you wffifffomlsb fb Ulf mA H ifiydflo captures the more dominant type of love from you—before—well, before it is too late?" “I promise to let you know," said Nan, with serious eyes, "If any other love capable of jeopardizing your hap­ piness comes Into my life. And I also want* you to know that my answer to you now would be the same were you Sir John laughed. "Splendidly said. Nan. Now," he added more lightly, “shall we lunch, then drive down and have a ring fitted? I don’t want a long engagement May I send the an­ nouncement to the papers tonight?’ Later, when they stepped Into the great jewelers on Fifth avenue, a dozen, clerks would have gone forward to attend Sir John, but it was his nephew, learning the business from the counter up, wbo had that privilege. “I have long wanted you to meet this nephew of mine. Nan." said Sir John, performing the introduction, and then watched the meeting uf his fian­ cee and his handsome nephew. Their glances met and clung and their hands drew apart with a swiftness of move­ ment that sent a sharp pain through the heart of Str John. Then Nan turned her startled, baffled glance upon him and be responded to the sllent appeal. Events plied up rather quickly after that first meeting. Sir John managed, first, with tbe selection of many won­ derful bits of jewelry for Nan. to bring the two young people together. Then there were cozy dinners at bls own glorious home on Park avenue. And though these Intimate hours John watched something growing between Nan and his nephew. Their glances seldom met now, and Nan never per­ mitted a moment alone with the younger man. All three tried In true blue-blooded fashion to assume a calm exterior, while Inwardly a bomb seemed ever ready to burst. The Inevitable draw­ ing together of flaming youth seemed Imminent. It was a scant two months since the engagement had been made public that Sir John, unable to stand the strain of suspense, withdrew from the drawing room after dinner and left the two to­ gether. He felt that it was only fair that they should be alone In order to come to a definite understanding. .He took his pipe and his thoughts out into the small space which be called his garden, and there in the quiet herded his emotions well Into control that little Nan might not know of the ache that was already heralding the loss He had scarcely drawn the first draft of smoke from his pipe when be jumped up to encircle the slim, trem­ bling girl who had flung herself into his arms. ■ "John, dear." she panted breathless- much with Jeff. He Is beginning to think himself in love with me and I am trying so bard to ward It off. I love you so dearly that I can't bear to was Sir John now who trembled. He had not supposed the world capable N*«da a Mufflr. “Overcoats ahouid be seen and not as the strong, protecting arms held heard,” reminds one. of this: “So h<rr close and ever doser Nan realised that’s your new overcoat, eh?

Life Is full of contradictions—now, I often wonder wby You will often laugh the hardest when you really want to cry. Man will borrow from a stranger, from a friend he hardly knows, Yet we hate to ask a debtor for the money that he owes. The world will often praise you. but It’s not with life ahead When a word of praise is needed—no, it waits until you’re dead. Then we slag about the angels though we're frightened at a ghost. And we always laugh the hardest when we want to cry the most. The world will cheer the winner when he’s not In need of it. But It never cheers the losers though they lost but never quit. And here’s another question: why are people often prone To be mighty nice to others but be churlish to their own? Yes, the dearest are unkindest—maybe that’s the reason why We will often laugh the hardest when we really want to cry. —Douglas Mallock �WASH GOODS ....... Dayton Corners. Bunday. Mr. and Mm.

Mary Hill McIntyre, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mi's. John Hill, was born in Somersetshire, England, July 1, 1843, and came to the Unit­ ed States when a small girl, and lived practically, nil fees Jllq in Grove township. She passed away at her home June 9, 1924, aged 80 years, 11 months and eight days. She was married to John McIntyre March 4, 1869. Four children survive her, John, Bert, Or­ son and Maggie; also a number of grandchildren and great-grandchil­ dren, four sisters, and one brother, besides a host of relatives and friends, her husband and one son Alex having preceded her to the Great Beyond a number of years ago. Much coul0 be said of her pioneer life, as she came to Maple Grove when it was a wilderness, and knew the struggles and hardships of the early days. She was an ideal wife, mother, friend and neighbor. Her family were uppermost in her thoughts, but always had a word of cheer and a helping hand for others. She meas­ ured her Christianity by what she did, always upholding what was right, and died with love and friend­ ship in her heart for all whom she ever knew. . We speak of her as dead, yet she still lives; she lives in our hearts, our memories, and our love—she will ever be remembered by her kindly smile and cheerful word she gave so generously to everyone. There is no death, they go down To rise upon some fairer shore. And bright in Heaven’s jeweled crown. They shine for evermore. There is no death; the leaves may fall. The flowers may fade and pass ____________________________ waiver of notice on final account and receipts filed; discharge of.adminis­ trator issued; estate enrolled.

Thia year the assessment of the village real estate and personal prop­ erty combined, has been adjusted at $390,000. The taxes, which will be seventy-six cents on every one hun­ dred dollars, however will be a little higher than last year owing to the extra expense of buying new hose, putting up the new fire alarm, etc., which in all amounta to 8564 more than was raised in 1898. The township taxes will also be a little higher in spite of the fact that Su­ pervisor Furniss has raised the amount of personal property $18,­ 000, but the new bridge is to be put in at the north side of the village and the expense of moving the old one to Gregg’s crossing, together with the payment of part of the township’s indebtedness accounts for the raise.

The officers of the club are: Frank McDerby, president; E. W. Murray, sec­ retary; E. Parady/ treasurer, a committee was appointed to secure martial music and another to organ­ ize a glee club, so that the campaign In Nashville may be expected to be as lively and interesting as usual. "The farmer wants easier money and more of it. He wants the mort­ gage on the farm so arranged that he does not have to look forward to the ‘days of its maturity and he wants his farm loan so popularized that it will have a market and if he is forced to pay one creditor he can go to another. He has had the bank­ ing laws changed so farm credits have been encouraged, fann banks legalized, syndicated farm bonds made possible and popular. The farmer wants this legislation because it helps him procure his financing, gives him longer to pay. makes bls Interest lighter and enables him to tide over periods of depression. The farmer wants lower taxes. The tax collector operates harder on the farm than any other class. All that he has is spread before the assessor. He reads of tax-exempt securities and hidden assets but he cannot hide his field of wheat, keep quiet the calf in the barn or the hog at the trough. As his financial opera­ tions are limited this expense stands out all the more prominently and to cap the climax it generally has to be p^d at the wrong time of the year. “We go on multiplying our Gov­ ernment employees and Government expenditures without reckoning how the bill is going to be paid. For the last halt century every municipality has been using the printing press to issue bonds that would not come due until those who signed them were sure they would never have to pay them. We have better schools, mu­ nicipal buildings, sewers, paved streets, roads graded and beautified. I venture not one of us refused to sign a petition to build a new road past our place and yet that tax bill must come in. "A singular thing about a tax is that we never discard an old one. We should try and get the tax-ex­ empt securities abolished as soon as possible’ We should get every dol­ lar of property on the tax rolls. If by abolishing them we hinder muni­ cipalities borrowing money then we have reason enough to justify abol­ ishing them for the ease with which money can be borrowed for extrav­ agance is one of the greatest causes of extravagance. "The farmer wants the Agricul­ tural college extended, he wants law enforcement, he wants a new Amer­ ica or a reborn America for he be­ lieves the area of industrial growth has outstripped farming America and he wants the pendulum to swing back.” NOXIOUS WEED NOTICE To all owners, occupiers or pos­ sessors of lands or any person or persons, firm or corporation having charge of any lands in this state: Notice Is hereby given that all noxious weeds growing on any lands any where within the below named township, or within the limits of any highways, passing by or through such lands must be cut down and de­ stroyed on or before the first day of July, 1924, and must also be cut down and destroyed again on or be­ fore September 1st, 1924, and as much oftener as necessary to pre­ vent all such weeds from going to seed.

Curtis McCartney, 1Commissioner of Highways, Town­ ship of Maple Grove, County of Barry, State of Michigan. THIS Parfc theatre (By Ed. A. Nowack-) Lansing. Mich., June 17-Reeently compiled figures of the Department of Agriculture tell us that during the last two years, the state has seen started in operation 268 new cream­ eries. This number is added to the large list previously in operation. In 1922 there were 779 creameries licensed and doing business in Michi­ gan. Of that number 119 went out of business between 1922 and1 the pre­ sent year. There are today in opera­ tion in Michigan a total of 928 creameries. Kent county led the entire state in the number af creameries. It was found that Grand Rapids, largest city in the county, also lead the state in the amount of milk consumed per day per capita with 1.1 pints. Detroit was second In the number of creameries and also ranked second In the daily consumption of milk with .96 pints per capita. Counties supporting only one or two creamer­ ies saw the milk consumption drop to less than .3 pints per day pdr capita. Of the creameries that have gone out of business during the last two years some were absorbed by larger con­ cerns, some went bankrupt, and on­ ly one was destroyed by fire. For many years before the close of the last century the sandstone industry in Michigan was ah Im-, portant one. The peak of production and price was reached In 1902 when the value of tho Industry was re­ corded at $188,073- For the last seven years there have been only one or two producers and no figures as to hte value have been given, to the value have been given. Engineers and economists say the decline of the sandstone industry In the state has been due to the poor quality of much of the sandstone and to the substitution of concrete In construction work and the greater ase of brick and artificial stone. The most fancy sandstone used in present building operations comes from Ionia county. This stone, though soft and friable, is mottled with red. orange anda yellow and makes a pleasing appearance In buildings. The $2.50 deer hunting license may be increased to $5 If plans of John Baird, head of the conservation department, are carried through. Mr. Baird feels this is necessary to raise more money for the work of predatory animal control. At present the state paid trappers receive their salary and expenses frota the money contributed by deer hunters’ licenses But $1 is taken from the $2.50 license fee. It is generally agreed that the number of trappers is in­ sufficient to properly prosecute the campaign of extermination against wolves and coyotes. With a $5.00 license fee It would be permissible to take $3.50 from each deer hunt­ ing license with which to further the trappers’ work. At present the state paid trappers are carried along with the money derived from deer hunting licenses and with that money trebled under Baird's proposed plan the number of trappers also could be trebled and greater headway could be made In that work.

W. Bennett, county agent, on testing cattle for tubercu­ losis in tbo county, which was very interesting and instructive. He pointed out the need of it In health­ ful and business ways, and very forc­ ibly helped us to see the need of It In the county. We were then favor­ ed by a talk by one of the board of directors of the county fair from Hastings, Mr. Bob Martin, who gave us a fine talk on the Grange exhibits at the fair, and urged us to put on an exhibit during the coming fair time. There were about fifty visitors from Maple Leaf Grange, who with the local grange enjoyed the talks very much, and we wish there could have been more of them.

Dr. Deacon of the state health department last Monday evening told the history of the spread of the present epidemic in Michigan. Il started in Windsor, just across the 'river fron^ Detroit. From there it spread into Detroit. While health authorities in that city did every­ thing possible to stamp it out. peo­ ple from all over the state went to Detroit daily by hundreds and thou­ sands, Detroit people continued to come out into the state. No one feared the epidemic simply because they did not know about it. A case near Haslett (Pine Lake) east of Lansing died and a public funeral was held. Eight of the eighteen peo­ ple at the funeral contracted the dis­ ease. Monday five of them were dead—others will die. Many Lan­ sing people visited the Pine Lake re­ sort. On /he same date—Monday of this week—there were several light cases In the south part of Dewitt township. At the time this is writ­ ten no cases have developed in or near St. Johns. To prevent the dis­ ease gaining a foothold here, the business men of the city, the doctors, the public school authorities and the pastors are doing everything posslble to have every persofc vaccinated. Merchants are insisting that every clerk be vaccinated. Heads of all business firms are taking every pre­ caution that the trading public do not come in contact with anyone who has not been vaccinated. Free vac­ cination is being provided for those unable to pay and the physicians of the city are doing everything possi­ ble to prevent the disease here. St. Johns and a large portion of Clinton county has no smallpox—and does not want it. The best and only known way to prevent it is to vacci­ nate and do it at once. There is no occasion for alarm—just common sense is needed. As is always the case, there are hundreds of false rutriors being spfead. The-RepublicanNews will give its readers facts and by so doing attempt to assist in stop­ ping the spread of the disease to this part of the county.

Hank raised potatoes on that same piece of ground last year and be knew what It would do. Then he selected some extra fine seed potatoes and cut them up, ready for planting. He went out in the morning, “When dewdrops sparkled like diamonds upon the opening flowers," and he planted one whole row. By that time it was nearly night, so he set the rest of the potatoes in a fence corner, to be planted on subsequent days. And to make a long story short: The pesky calves ate them all up.

Summer playground of the Country Remarkably Attractive for Outof-Doors People. The Michigan Press association held its* annual summer meeting for the editors of . the weekly newspa­ pers of the "North Country" at Gray­ ling Friday and it proved a red-let­ ter day for- all who attended. The news-purveyors commenced gathering Thursday evening and were quartered at the Shoppanagoh Inn, a remarkably good hotel, and were made very much at homie. Friday morning, with the acces­ sion of a larger number of the scribes, automobiles were provided and many places of Interest were vis­ ited. The splendid military camp at Lake Margarthe was the central point of Interest. The military ac­ tivities of the summer season are Just commencing, and the scribes had the pleasure of witnessing rifle and pistol practice at the ranges Grayling is one of the most pro­ gressive and wideawake of the cities of the upper part of ths state. They have a large number of manufactur­ ing industries, including one of the largest and best flooring mills in the world, a big charcoal and chemical plant of the DuPont interests, one of the largest saw-mills in the country, run. by the Sailing & Hansen compa­ ny. a dowel and tie-plug factory, and many other industries. It also has one of the finest school buildings in the state, a splendid hospital, court house, good hanks, a live local news­ paper, the Crawford County Ava­ lanche, owned and operated by Oscar Schumann, who was a Hastings boy. its own electric light and power plant, and all the other necessary ad­ juncts of a wide-awake city. The city owes much of its prosperi­ ty and projress to the generosity and public spirit of Rasmus Hansen, its wealthiest citizen, who has always been foremost in even’ public enter­ prise and whose purse Is always open for any worthy purpose. He alone is responsible for Grayling being the summer home of the Michigan mili­ tia, he having donated outright to the state the camp site of many hun­ dreds of acres on the bank of Lake Margarthe, besides erecting a hospi­ tal and a magnificent club bouse for the officers. Grayling is also the location of one of the state fish hatcheries, on the AuSable river, and most of the news­ paper men visited the hatchery, where they saw trout of all sizes dis­ porting themselves in the ponds, from which are shipped every year millions of trout fry to various parts of the state. There is splendid fish­ ing and hunting in all directions from the town, and many deer roam the thickets which abound in various directions from the town. Friday afternoon was devoted to a business meeting of the newspaper men, at which various of the prob­ lems of the country publishers were discussed. At six o’clock a banquet was serv­ ed to the visitors by the Gray’Ing Board of Trade, a splendid feed, followed by an Interesting pro­ gram, interspersed with excellent musical numbers. The address of welcome was made by Melvin A. Bates, president of the [Board of Trade, and was responded to in be­ half of the association by J. B. Has­ kins. field director. O. P. Schumann of the Grayling Avalanche was toast­ master. Talks were also made by T. W. Hansen, who was the first may­ or of Grayling and who served for ten years in that capacity, by J. B. Hasselman of M. A. C., by L. W. Felghner, president of the Michigan Press association, and by Gen. Roy Wilson and. several other officers from the camp, who were among the guests. Taken as a whole, the meeting was a grand success and the good people of Grayling are entitled to the hear­ ty thanks of the pencil pushers for their splendid hospitality. THE RIGHT TO ADVERTISE. The radicals in Congress who crit­ icize expenditures by railroads for advertising in order to show their own side of the railroad question, evidently do not believe that the right of self-defense applies to cor­ porations. Railroad securities are owned by some 2,000,000 persons directly and by a far larger number indirectly through Insurance and trust companies. It is the duty of railroad managers to protect the in­ terests of the people who own the se­ curities. The radicals in Congress have been disseminating all sorts of destructive arguments, the purpose of which is to create prejudice against the railroads and bring about injurious legislation. If the radi­ cals have a right thus to present their statements to the public, why not the railroad managers? And if the railroad managers choose to put their information In the form of an advertisement, published as such, what difference does it make? The accuracy of the railroad statements can be checked up by the records of the Interstate Commerce Commis­ sion, arhile the statements of the rad­ icals are usually of such a general nature that they cannot be checked. —Iron Mountain News.

People of Nashville and vicinity have had various spasms of heart failure in the past few days, when trial blasts have been given on the new Federal siren fire alarm. It surely turns loose an unearthly screech at close quarters, but people living two or three miles out’in the country sometimes hear it and some­ times don’t, probably depending up­ on the direction of the wind or the heaviness of the air. The thing will certainly arouse folks at night dur-. Ing the summer when windows are open. The real test will come on winter nights when houses are clos­ ed tightly. One valuable feature is that it can be set going from the telephone of­ fice, which will give a night alarm several minutes quicker than the bell, which requires somebody to run t<f the fire department headquarters and unlock the doors before It can be rung. The steam siren at the water works plant is quick in action and is plenty loud enough when there is a good head of steam, but when the steam pressure is down It is not noisy enough, especially for a winter night alarm. The Nashville Independents broke even the past week, winning one game and losing one. Thursday’* game with the Battle Creek Sanitar­ ium team was lost by a score of 5 to 3. Mason started on the mound for Nashville, and was replaced in the sixth by Martin, who finished the game. The defeat was largely due to the inability of the locals to solve the delivery of the Sanitarium twirler, a "hefty” port-aider who had speed to burn. Three safeties were the total result of their efforts. Sunday’s game with the Hasting* Independents ended differently, with the Nashville boys on the long end of a 6 to 5 score. Martin did the pitching for Nashville and was given a warm reception at the start, rag­ ged support and some good hitting giving Hastings five scores In the first two innings. He completed the game In fine shape, however, and had the Hastings sluggers in a sub­ missive mood through the final inn­ ings. Lefty Anderson, the Allegan ex-leaguer, was on the mound for Hastings and was invincible until the sixth when the locals fell on him with a bombardment of singles and doubles that sent enough runners across the plate to put the game on ice. Though errors were altogether too frequent, the result naturally was quite satisfactory to the local fans who accompanied the team. The Independents will play a re­ turn game today (Thursday) at Leighton. Sunday the Battle Creek Sanitarium team will be here, and a close contest Is expected. On Thurs­ day, July 3, the team will play at the big celebration at Middleville. NASHVILLE FOLK WILL VISIT OLD COUNTRY. Herman A.

Up­ on thousands of the acres of state owned land, much of which reverted to the state because of unpaid tax­ es. has grown a good stand of sec­ ond growth timber.

The second ballot was for former governor Lowden of Illinois, who is doing a fine work as a farmer and stock breeder and passing on the results of his own experience to oth­ ers for their benefit. He was nomi­ nated on the second ballot, but de­ clined. On the third ballot the dele­ gation, with one exception, voted for Gen. Charles G. Dawes of Chicago, who did such splendid work in the world war, getting supplies to the front for our soldiers, who had charge of Inaugurating the national budget system, that has saved the country a great amount of money, and who has made a success of the many undertakings that have occu­ pied his busy Hfe. General Dawes Is a man who does things. He goes straight at the mark and accomplish­ es results. He' is big enough tor president, should he be called upon to fill that high office. THE PEOPLE’S TASK. The Presidential election Is a big chore that has to be done up every four years. The people somehow get it done, in spite of the shortcomings of congress, the big noise of the poli­ ticians, and the ranting* of the dema­ gogues. These latter are the safety valve ot free institutions, which thinking men and women no longer fear. There must be an outlet for the explosive gases of the body poli­ tic. There is a tendency to Inject more of sound business principles into public affairs, to bold public ad­ ministration to the standards of the be# managed-and most successful public corporations. The people de­ mand better service and greater ef­ ficiency on the part of every public official and in every branch of gov­ ernment. Hence our government continues to function as the best In tbe world. FIVE AMENDMENTS IN FALL ELECTION Voters of Michigan will have a chance to pass on five proposed amendments to the state constitut­ ion when they go to the polls In November, In addition to settling state and national Issues. With the filing of more than 50, 000 signatures to the income tax amendment, backers of this proposal are assured that it will take 58,367 signatures to submit an amendment, and the income taxers say they they will have more than the required number in tbe next few days. The parochial school issue has been ordered on the ballot by the supreme court. Wayne county will come forward with two amendments on apportionment, and the wets will submit the question of light wines and beer. Rep. John B. Corliss, of Detroit, says he has more than half of the re­ quired number of signatures to submit his apportionment amend­ ment, and Rep. Chas. Culver, also of Detroit, who Is sponsoring the sec­ ond says his petitions are in circu­ lation and about 1500 signers al­ ready have been secured. The beer and wine amendment PaMtions are also in circulation. The form of the amendment was approv­ ed some time ago by the secretary of state. This year is an unusually favor­ able one for constitutional amend­ ments. The vote for governor In 1922 was a little more than 500,444. and as signers numbering 10 per cent of the total vote for governor at the preceding election Is tbe basis, the number this year is just about half what it was two years ago. This being presidential year, indications are that upwards of 1,500,0000 votes will bs cast in ths November election, which will require 150,000 signers for submission of two years hence. Courier.

FOR your PYROX through the window down a country BORDEAUX placed the small dark hat on her wavy hair and stepped briskly from the platform. Now, as she walked the white sunny way she was thinking, ruefully, that there would be no one to welcome her back to the small apartment—no one to give a smiling word. Mother had always awaited her homecomings eagerly, father following with hia quiet but loving welcome. The rooms above the music store would be quite empty, echoing their loneliness. With her customary happy spirit JaneJ turned from somber reflections to a thought of cheer. ‘Til find some red mountain-ash berries,” she deter­ mined. Janey found the mountain-ash ber­ ries; she bad glimpsed the drooping tree from afar. A flock of winterhungry birds vanished, chattering at her approach. Janey was not very tall; she had to reach to touch the lowest limb—end then could not quite make 1L A pleasing voice accosted ber—"May I assist you?" tho voice asked, and the owner of the voice raised easily his strong arm to her aid. She stood, a branch In her hand, stripping from it tendrils of scarlet bloom. The man reached for more. He smiled down- at Janey. “They are cheery in this white coldness,” be said. “Were you detained In the train? I thought so. I, too, decided upon a country walk." Janey smiled In turn her thanks. She liked the frank brown eyes of this obliging stranger; liked the breadth of hie, manly shoulders and the natural rourtesy of his manner. They retraced their steps carward. The young man had come on from the cousin's dty, where Janey bad been stopping, and conversation proved that he knew, in a business way, the cousin's husband. The young man’s name was Bruce Cary, and civil en­ gineering his trade; this came In nat­ ural confidence, as the long walk brought them together, and tbe fact of Janey's city residence was also communicated. *T could not keep up my old home, you know," she told Bruce Cary, “with the number of mu­ sic pupils one may find In a small town.” It did not occur to either that confi­ dences given freely to strangers was far from their custom. Simply, end unaccountably, each realized the oth­ er's true and comforting Interest. Janey had read somewhere that love w^is like that—you felt that you hod known the loved one Indefinitely. The man, helping her up the train steps, relaxed his assisting arm with strange regret And when he asked the pleasure of sharing her car seat during the rest of the Journey Janey gave consent Joyfully. .

The Philosophy of NUMBER 50 BUSINESS NEWS Interesting Items from Nashville Merchants . Contentment la One of tiie Greatest Tilings of Life and is Worthy of Bendy. We hope every reader of The News will read this month’s message from the business and professional people of Nashville. It's subject is “Contentment,” and there is much food for thought in the message. To be content with our lot in life, to be satisfied with the town we live in and its surroundings, to make the best of life in the environs in which our lot is cast, means much to the individual. Nashville is without question .one of the best and cleanest towns in the state, both physically and morally. The people of Nashville are steadfast and upright, are good neighbors and good friends. There are no cliques such as frequently create discord In many small towns and In large ones, too, for that mat­ ter. There are larger towns, but why is a larger town better to live in? There may be more opportunities, but there are also more people to take advantage of them. Nashville has good schools, good"churches and plenty of them, good banks, pro­ gressive merchants, some beautiful parks, good streets, water works, I sewerage, electric lights and power, good homes, well-kept lawns, and there Is almost always plenty of \.EP>6Ut Svork for those who wan^ It. What •more can a larger town offer you, ex­ cept excitement and more opportuni­ ties to waste money? A large majority of Nashville's most prosperous and„successful mer­ chants and farmers grew up in Nash­ ville or came here as young men. If opportunity seemed lacking, they made opportunity and they have been successful. The young people grow­ ing up today can do the same thing. ■ Within the next decade manufacturlng'%ill be coming more and more to the rural towns. The movement is now well under way.

Manager Wade of the Lake House resort has covered the surrounding country with large bills announcing that Barry county’s popular resort will be prepared to accommodate all who will come to spend the day in boat­ ing, bathing, fishing and in other ways, to enjoy the splendid shade and the fine lawns, and to witness a fine display of fireworks in the eve­ ning. There is no regular 4th of July celebration at any of the near-by towna, so far as we have been able to learn, which means that our peo­ ple will largely make the day one of family parties, picnic dinners and a quiet observance of the day, and cer­ tainly there is no more delightful spot in all the surrounding country than beautiful Thornapple lake and no more ccrdial welcome awaits you anywhere else. And that just brings to mind the fact that we frequently wander afar, looking for beauties over which to rave, when there are rare beauty spots right at hand. We have trav­ elled considerably about our own fair state and have visited most of the famous resorts of the northern country. Each may have its special appeal, but for real scenic beauty there are very few places in the state which can compare favorably with our own popular resort. Thorn­ apple lake. People from other parts of the state, and from other states, are finding it out and are coming there in increasing numbers every year. . ' With its beautifully wooded shores, its splendid fishing, its many attractions, Thornapple lake is com­ ing to be known far and wide as or. of the best places In Michigan at which to spend the hot summer days, and it is becoming more justly pop­ ular every year. FINE WEEK'S PROGRAM AT PARK THEATRE. Manager Sprague of the Park theatre is advertising a number of special attractions for this week.

The telephone Instrument was put in position Friday and connection made with other towns of the line. The first message was received by E. W’. Murray from county clerk, Chas. M. Mack, of Hastings. The wool market has been exceeedingly lively this week, our streets be­ ing thronged with loads of wool ev­ ery day* Probably the largest clip of wool produced in either Barry or Eaton counties is that of Hiram Grid­ ley’s of Kalamo, which aggregated 2300 lbs., sheared from 400 sheep.

East Lansing, July 30.—The first "Hay Day” of its kind ever held In Michigan, and probably the first in the entire country, will feature the big summer farmers meeting at M. A. C. on August 1, it was announced here this week. The beet and cheapest method of modern hay making will be shown in operation, with the most modern machinery in use. The demonstra­ tions will be made on a 25 acre field of alfalfa on tbe college farm. Lead­ ing manufacturers of mowers, rakes, hay loading machinery, etc., are inj vited to take part, each being given an equal area of land. Both horse and tractor power will be in opera­ tion. The new drain system of mak­ ing hay will be shown in operation. A special "Old Timers Scythe Con­ test", with Michigan pioeners com­ peting for honors in skill at the hand methods of hay making, will be a big feature of the hay day program. State farmers who used the scythe In their younger days in the hay field will rally from all points of the state to show the present generation their old-time skill. As a result of the scythe contest, the newest of machinery will be in use alongside the methods which were in vogue when Michigan was first settled. The hay day program will be one feature of the seventh annual Farm­ ers Day at the college. A big after­ noon meeting, special exhibits, and numerous entertainment features will combine to provide a full sched­ ule for the day's program. More than 5,000 Michigan farmers and their families are expected to attend. HIS IDEA OF DCH. President Coolidge took the Amer­ ican people seriously when they In­ sistently demanded tax reduction.

The pre­ mium list has been bettered and ex­ panded In every respect. Arrange­ ments have been made for the show­ ing of India, the big fireworks spec­ tacle* tor the full five nights of the fair. This tells a story of Asiatic tradition in scenery, people, a herd of live elephants and fireworks— bombs and rockets and big beautiful and noise-making devices. The fair has secured the best judges in the country for its livestock and other departments. More state exhibits than last year will be on the ground and the 1923 Kalamazoo fair sets a record for state departments. Each afternoon there will be a World's Amusement free acts, sensational, educational, and above all, clean. The midway will have the famous Zeldman & Pollle thirty car shows. Some of the other high spots In the fair are the A. K. C. licensed dog show, the big band tournament, horse and auto races and a two so­ ciety horse show. The Kalamazoo fair premium book is out and can be secured by writing to Chester H. Howell, manager of the Kalamazoo fair. WHY A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Another answer to the above question which was heard in Bangor more often formerly than It now is, was nicely answered by tbe fine en­ tertainment which was afforded the visiting newspaper men at Grayling last week. Editor Schuman proved himself to be an efficient and gracious host, but wlAout the loyal co-operation of his Board of Trade of Grayling, his task would have been too great. With their help, he was able to put on a much more complete program, and emphasize the genuine whole-heart­ edness of Grayling citizenship. With more than twenty-five edi­ tors making up the party, each with a large field of subscribers tn dlfferents sections of the state, the publi­ city which Grayling will receive this week cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Which Is but another phase of the answer to "Why afChamber of Commerce, or similar organi­ zation."—Bangor Advance. WHERE INCOME TAXES COME FROM. It may be of interest to know how the income tax Is spread among the people of the United States. Of all who pay income tax, 88 per cent have incomes ranging from the low­ est taxable amount up to, but not ex­ ceeding, 810,000 per year, and pay 22 per cent of the taxes. Three per cent of the taxpayer? have incomes of 8100,000 and above per year and pay 28 per cent of all the income taxes. The other nine per cent of the population, who pay income taxes, having incomes of 310,000 to 3100,­ 000 per year, pay the remaining 50 per cent of the income taxes. THE RIGHT TYPE. Geo. Dawes, Republican nominee for vice-president, is what they some­ times call a "go-getter." In other words, he Is a man of action who does things and does them well. Dur­ ing the war our soldiers in France were suffering for supplies, and the transportation system was clogged. Dawes was sent there to clear it up and he did It. The soldiers got their supplies. When they wanted to In­ augurate a budget system in the na­ tional government, they sent for Dawes and he worked it out so it has saved hundreds of millions in expen­ ditures. Dawes has little patience with red tape methods; he goes straight at the point. He Is fear­ less and able and will make a good vice president and is well qualified for president should he be called up­ on to fill that high office. Rogue That He Was.

Congressmen are now issuing their manifestos proclaiming that if re­ nominated and elected they will try and support the Republican admin­ istration. Many of them will need to do a better job than they did at tho last session if they expect to get back into the good graces of the peo­ ple. It was quite noticeable that while congress was trying to thwart the will of the president, the people in the state primaries were voting almost solidly for him. 19 19 24 24 Couldn’t Sell Him.

MAURER SMI TH ISMS— “One of the reasons we are listen­ ing more and more to the farmer in the United States is because the farmer has something to say. Any. mar. who. has something to say will compel an audience. The trouble with most of us Is that we haven’t anything to say back. The farmer his discovered that his best argu­ ment is a bare recital of facts and the man who tries to out-talk facts has gone the way of the 'silver voiced or­ ator’ and the ‘frock coat,’ the !at-» ter no longer a badge of respecta­ bility but rather a banner advising ail to ’Stop, Look and Listen.' ” Hal H.

B.” INFORMATION The health car of the Mlcnigan Tuberculosis association has started upon its long summer tour of the rural districts of the state. Each year this trip is made, spreading the gospel of clean healthy living thru tbe more isolated sections. •For at least three months out of the year the lecturer practices what he preaches. He carries a complete camping outfit and spends his nights along the road wherever he cares tb stog. He does his own cooking on the small stove and oven. As part of the lecture equipment, the truck carries a portable moving picture machine which throws the movies on a screen which may be hung between trees or on the side of a barn. Lantern slides are also used to illustrate tbe talks. The talks and pictures are always shown out of doors unless the weather men makes It too unpleasant. This summer trip is part of the educational program of the anti­ tuberculosis work in the state. The lecturer strips the disease of much of Its mystery, showing how It may be prevented and what is necessary in attempting a cure.

Nashville Independents were going good the past week, and chalked up three victories in as many games. Thursday the boys played Middle­ ville at the big celebration marking the , completion of the pavement there, and won by a score of 7 to 4. Mason and Johnson were the -battery for Nashville and held the Middle­ ville boys scoreless with the excep­ tion of one Inning, the third, when two hits and a couple of errors re­ sulted in four tallies. The Battle Creek Woodmen fur­ nished the opposition here for the Fourth of July, and were completely Outclassed. Martin and Johnson were in the points for Nashville, and the former achieved the highest aim of every twirler, holding the visitors for nine Innings without the sem­ blance of a safe hit. He should have had a shut-out as well, but er­ rors in the ninth inning gave the Woodmen one tally, a runner scoring from second while the locals were protesting the insertion of a pinch­ hitter who had previously been re­ moved from the game. Firlik's Hardwares of Grand Rap­ ids, who played here Sunday, prov­ ed tp be the stiffest team the locals have been up against this year, abd put up a fight that gave the fans their money’s worth. Martin again did the twirling for Nashville and kept up bls record, bolding his heavy slugging opponents hitlees for the first six innings and granting but three safeties during the remainder of the game. Neither team was able to tally until the seventh Inning, when the Independents made a spurt that, aided by some loose fielding on the par* of'the visitors, resulted in four tallies. Firliks refused to give up without a struggle, however, and gave the fans plenty of thrills with an offensive rally In ‘he final Innings that netted three runs. Nashville had a number of chances to score during the game, but the visiting twirler had a nice spit ball which he used liberally in the pinches, and •which the locals could not solve with much success. Manager Surine is making dates with some of the fastest independent teams In this section of the state, and the fans are assured of some good scrappy exhibitions for the bal­ ance of the season. The schedule for the next two weeks is as,follows: Thursday, July 10—Lake’ Odessa, here. Sunday. July 13—Lake Odessa, there. Thursday. July 17—Allegan, there. Sunday. July 20—Bellevue, there. MARPIAC-LEA VEN WORTH. The first day of summer was chos­ en by Miss Laura Leavenworth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Leav­ enworth, for her marriage to Hiram R. Marple, son of Mrs. Edward Doll­ man. The ceremony was performed at the Leavenworth home, 1315 W. Michigan ave.. by Rev. Guy W. Si­ mon, pastor of the First Presbyter­ ian church. Palms, ferns and potted plants banked the fireplace at the sides of which stood tall baskets of varied colored season blossoms. Miss Harriett Seeley played the wedding march as the bride and groom and their attendants. Miss Mil­ dred McLean as bridesmaid and Rob­ ert M. Conklin, best man, took their places. They were preceded by Miss Virginia Dollman as ring bearer. Pastel shades were used in the arrangements. The bride wore a lovely frock of delicate yellow geor­ gette, with which she carried butter­ fly roses, lilies of the valley, gypsophilia and pulmosus. Her brides­ maid wore a gown of flowered chif­ fon and carried Rusbell roses and gypsophilia. The little ring bearer wore white organdie and carried the ring in a butterfly rose in the center of a Colonial bouquet. Refreshments were served at ta­ bles. The bride's table held as its centerpiece,,a' basket of yellow snap­ dragons, lavender Iris, lavender sweet peas and gypsophilia. Yellow tulle bowed the handle of the basket. The smaller tables were decorated to each carry out a single color scheme of the rainbow, with flowers and candles tied with tulle. Mr. and Mrs. Marple are taking an auto trip and will be at home in their own new home. 1625 Blair street, af­ ter July 1.—Lansing Capitol News. COUWA HIGHGRADER GET ACROSS AS A HERO?

Pythians of the five Barry county lodges and their families, with all Pythian Sisters 'and members of other Pythian lodges living In this county are just waiting for the big Barry County Pythian day to be held at Thornapple lake Thursday.

The Pythian baseball championship of the county is to be settled for the season of 1924. Middleville and Freeport will clash for a five-inning session in the morning. Hastings and Nashville will also battle for the same number of Innings. In the af­ ternoon the winners of the two games will fight it out In a seven-in­ ning contest for the county honors. Woodland, which wil not enter the contest, is to provide the umpires. In addition to baseball, there will be other games, tor the men. women, boys and girls. At noon there will be a big basket picnic dinner and the committee will see that coffee, cream and sugar are provided. There will be free lemonade, too, for those who wish it. Remember the date, Pythians, and don’t let anything Interfere with’ 1 your being present on this most auspicious occasion. Room Now Badly Needed * Tentative plans of the proposed addition to the school house are now on display at the postofflco. As pro­ posed the addition would be placed to the north of the present building and adjacent to it. The bottom of the plans on display represents the front of the building and would face the west. On the basement floor we have the various rooms as shown on the dia­ gram. The auditorium as shown would be sixty by sixty-eight with a stage sixteen feet deep and twenty-, eight feet long. This would take care of all of the school functions as well as the community festivities. As per the plans the auditorium would be fitted with bleachers which would accommodate six hundred people in comfort, during the time when the auditorium was in use tor a gymnasium. On the first floor Is located the room for manual training and finish­ ing. a lecfure room and supply room and a chemistry and physics room. The lecture room Is located on this floor so that it may be fitted up with slides and a lantern, which may be used by the grades as well as the high school. The assembly room is located on the second floor, is planned to accom­ modate two-hundred and forty stu­ dents and would take care of the needs of this community for years to come. This room Is forty-eight by fifty-six. The other rooms on the second floor, which are to be used for recitation rooms are twenty feet square, thus giving room for that purpose. The domestic science and domestic art rooms are somewhat larger as the equipment necessitates more room than the ordinary recita­ tion room. _ This plan is made on a scale of eight feet to one'inch. As suggest­ ed, this Is only a tentative plan and modifications may be made in some of the details. • ■ These proposed plans should be studied over dhrefully by our. citi­ zens and taxpayers, who should come to the school meeting next Monday night prepared to talk understandingly in regard to the pro­ posed new addition to our school facilities. Practically all of. the towns around us now have uew school buildings, equipped with modern conveniences and appliances for upto-date school work. Hastings, Woodland, Lake Odessa and Belle­ vue all have recently completed modern plants. Nashville can not afford to loiter along behind her neighboring towns in school matters, any more than in other matters, and wa should be planning on bringing our school plant up to date in every way. Our present• building is in excel­ lent condition and is all right as far as it goes, but it is much too small for the present number of scholars. building like the one proposed would make room for the high school and the present building could be then rearranged to make an Ideal building for the grades.

Reports from over the state were in evidence last week that several localities were witnessing the rav­ ages of the army worm, but the first intimation that they were working In this vicinity came last Thursday when Fred Reams reported them to be working in a ten-acre hay field on his farm east of town. When first discovered by Mr. Reams, the worms had practically stripped the timothy from the entire ten acres, and had made the crop a total loss to him. In many spots in the field, the ground was bare of vegetation, showing the completeness of the destruction which these pests pro­ duce. Mr. Reams immediately plowed furrows around the field, thus con­ fining the worms to this one field, and then to make sure that none should escape ho tured a ditch of water into the furrow so that the field was entirely surrounded with water, effectually barring their progress. The worms are present in Incred­ ible numbers, the ground being lit­ erally covered with them. The field was the center of interest in the neighborhood, and has been visited by several farmers who are watch­ ing closely that their fields are not invaded by the pests. Mr. Reams is planning to use the poison bait meth­ od of killing the worms, and he has taken every effort to prevent the spread of the worms to other fields. The army worms have been report­ ed on other farms in this vicinity, but they have not been as destruc­ tive as on the Reams farm. Leslie Scott reports that he has found them in some of his fields, and that they have confined their attack entirely to the thistles which were growing there. This curious fact has also been reported in some fields of Al­ legan county. Near South Haven, the worms are reported to have climbed some of the smaller fruit trees, attacking the leaves of these and doing considerable damage in that way. Apparently, the army worm has a capricious appetite, and does not always choose the same food, but wherever it works, a complete struction of all vegetation of the kind chosen results.

The hands, worn with toil, gently guided our steps in childhood and smoothed our cheeks in sickness, ever reaching out to us in yearning tenderness. Blessed is the memory of an old-fashioned mother.

At his farm home, just east of the village, on Thursday ■ morning, July 3, Mr. Jerome B. Waite was sudden­ ly stricken and passed away before medical aid could be obtained. He was born in Palmyra township. Len­ awee county, on May 30, 1855, and was the son of Henry and Mary Waite. He had been critically ill for a long time during the past win­ ter and spring, but had improved so much that hopes that his life might be spared were hed. During his ill­ ness he had been a most patient suf­ ferer. A good share of his life had been spent In Adrian, where he had fol­ lowed the carpenter’s trade. He had lived two years in Detroit, coming to Nashville nine years ago, and two years later moved onto the farm east of town, where he has since re­ sided. He was married 46 years ago to Lucy Richardson, who was taken from him by death In August, 1905. To them was born one son, Carl­ ton H.. now of Detroit. On March 19, 1907, he was married to Miss Ina F. Hamilton, who survives him. Besides the wife and son he leaves to mourn his departure two brothers, Wm. Adelbert of Grand Rapids, and George L. of Adrian; also two grand­ sons. Harris B. and Paul, besides a large circle of other relatives and friends. Mr. Waite was a man of upright and honorable life and was highly respected by all who knew him. A funeral service was Ifeld at the home on Sunday afternoon and on Monday the remains were taken to Adrian, where services were again held in the afternoon, Rev. Arthur Longfleld conducting both services. Interment was made in the beauti­ ful cemetery at Adrian, and the Modern Woodmen of America, of which order the deceased was a mem­ ber, had charge of the services at the grave.

No town can be permanently pros­ perous in which the citizens and tradesmen dependent on each other do not patronize one another. The fact Is, but little is ever made in go­ ing away to trade, if it can be secur­ ed at home, and oftener, there is a loss. Show us a town in which the people make it a rule not to send away for anything they can get at home, and we will show you a town in which business is lively, and ev­ erybody buys, and trade Ic centered from abroad. Prices are low and the tradesmen patronize each other, having no suspicion that confidence will be abused. Let it be understood that when business men of any town get in the habit of sending abroad for purchas­ es the business will languish. Hav­ ing no confidence in each other, how can they expect others to have con­ fidence in them? No, that's not the way to build a town.

She has called the police and held at bay bandits in their murderous pursuits. In the category of courage, the telephone girl has won a high place of honor. Recently a lone woman held vigil in the exchange in Hoopeston. Sud­ denly two cables snapped out of commission. She knew in an in­ stant that things were not as they should be. On a quiet night whole cables do not act as these had acted. She did not take time to wonder or think it out or to guess. She acted. She sounded the fire alarm, good and strong. When the rushing citi­ zens poured from their beds they found "yeggs" at work on two banks. The "yeggs” escaped, but they took nothing with them. Such telephone operators as Mrs. Addie Farrell of Hoopeston are __ worthy of a place In the community’s hall of fame. A BREVORT LAKE FISH. Samuel Goodman. Jr., of Frank­ fort, Ind., while at the Massey House, fishing In Brevort lake Saturday caught a 35 pound muskellunge. The fish measured fifty Inches In length. The fish was taken to George Coff­ man who is mounting the submarine. Mr. Coffman who was In the city one day last week reports the capture of a 52 pound grass pike by a fisher­ man on Carp Lake one day last week. This Is one of the biggest grass pike ever taken from Michigan waters. It Is said that the fish had three troll­ ing hooks hanging to Its jaw besides the one that It was caught on. Many fishermen have lately reported snag­ ging a monster that they could not land; this is perhaps the fellow that has been breaking up their fishing tackle. The fellow that caught this one wrestled with him for a long while before he got him into shallow water and then losing his nerve and feeling that the monster was going to get away called for help and a fel­ low came out from the shore armed with a club and clubbed the fish to submission. An Ohio resorter was the victor in this battle.—Cheboygan Democrat. In the month of May, 1885, thir­ ty-eight years ago, C. W. Gorder, then cashier of the Audubon County bank, Audubon, Iowa, drew a draft for 8732.25 in favor of one J. 8. Haddock, who in turn indorsed it to a C. 8. Weldh, who never presented it for payment. At the death of Welch, a short time ago, the admin­ istrator of his estate was rummag­ ing through his papers and unearthed the uncashed draft. The First National bank of Audubon had in the intervening yean absorbed the bank that issued the draft and Gor­ der, the eashler who made the paper was elected the bank’s president. When the draft was presented to him recently it was promptly paid, with accumulated Intereet of 82,563.34, the total being 83,159.59. As the eastbound train was pull­ ing out of Boyne City the other day the conductor from the front er.d of the car calls out: "AU right back there?” “Hold on,” came a femi­ nine voice, “Walt till I get my clothes on."

Beyond the trees lay a clearing. At the back of this, facing the river, was a large fish­ ing lodge built of logs and finished artistically In rustic style. It was a two-story building spread over a good deal of ground space. A wide porch ran round the front and both aides. Upon the porch were a mon in an arm­ chair and a girl seated on the top step with her head against the corner post. A voice hailed Kllmeny. “I say, my man." " The fisherman turned, discovered that he was the party addressed, and waited. “Come here, ynu!" The man In the armchair had taken the cigar from his mduth and was beckoning to him "Meaning me?' Inquired Kllmeny. "Of course I mean you. Who else could I mean?" The fisherman drew near. In his eyes sparkled a light that belled his acquiescence. 'T>o you belong to the party camped below?" inquired he of the rocking chair, oue eyeglass fixed In the com­ placent face. The guilty man confessed. "Then I want to know what the deuce you meant by kicking up such an Infernal row last night I couldn’t sleep a wink for hours—not for hours, dash It It's an outrage—a beastly out­ rage. What I” Tly? man with the monocle was smug with the self-satisfaction of his tribe. His thin hair was parted in the middle and a faint straw-colored mus­ tache decorated his upper lip. Alto­ gether, he might measure five feet five In his boots. The miner looked at him gravely. No faintest hint of humor came Into the seu-blue eyes. They took in the dapper Britisher as If he had been a natural history specimen. "So kindly tell them not to do it again," Dobyans Verlnder ordered tn conclusion. “If you please, sir." added the young woman quietly. Kllmeny’s steady gaze passed for the first time to her. He saw a slight dark girl with amazingly live eyes and a lift to the piquant chin that was ar­ resting. Ills hat came off promptly. "We didn't know anybody was at the Lodge," he explained. •'You wouldn’t, of course," she nod­ ded. and by way of explanation: "Lady Farquhar Is rather nervous. Of course we don't want to Interfere with your fun, but—" “There will be no more fireworks at night. One of the boys had a birth­ day and we were ventilating our en­ thusiasm. If we had known—" "Kindly make sure It doesn't happen again, my good fellow." cut tn Verln­ der. Kllmeny looked at him. then back at the girl. The dapper little man had been weighed and found wanting. Henceforth, Verlnder was not on the map. "Did you think we ‘were Utes broke loose from the reservation? I reckon we were some noisy. When the boys get to going good they don't quite know when to stop." The eyes of the young woman sparkled. The fisherman thought he had never seen a face more vivid Such charm as it held was too Irregular for beauty, but the spirit that brdke through interested by reason of its hint of freedom. She might be a caged bird, but her wings beat for the open spaces. “Were they going good last night V she mocked prettily. “Not real good, ma'am. You sec, we had no town to shoot up, so we just punctured the scenery. If we had known you were here—" “You would have come and shot us up." she charged gayly. Kllmeny Jaughed. “You're a good one, neighbor. But you don't need to worry." He let his eyes admire her lazily. “Young ladles are too seldom in this neck of the woods for the boys to Burt any. Give them a chance and they would be real good to you." His audacity delighted Moya Dwight “Do you think they would?' “In our own barbaric way, oi course.” “Do you ever scalp people?’ she asked with Innocent Impudence. “It’s a young country," he explained genially. “It has that reputation." “You’ve been reading stories about us," he charged. “Now well be on our good behavior Just to show you." •Thank you—If It isn’t too hard." Verlnder, properly scandalised at this free give and take with a hap­ hazard savage of the wilds, Interrupted in the interest of propriety. TU not detain you any longer, my man. You may get at your fishing." The westerner paid not the toast at­ tention to him. “My gracious, ma'am, wo tblak we’re a heap more dvillxod than England. We ain’t got any mil­ itant suffragette* in tnis country- at least. I’ve never met up with any." "They're a sign of civfltaatioa." the young woman laughed. "They prove I vp*rr still alive, even If we are asleep." “We’ve gut you beat there, then. All t,he women vote here. What’s the mat­ ter with you staying and running for governor?' “Could I—ready?’ she beamed.. “Really and truly. Trouble with us Is that we're so civilized we bend over backward with It You’re going to find us mighty tame. The melodramatic romance of the West is mostly In ftory books. What , there was of it has gone out with the cowpuncher.” “What’s a cowpuncher?" “He rides the range after cattle.” “Oh—a cowboy. But aren’t there any cowboys?’ “They’re getting seldom. The barb wire fence has. put them out of busi­ ness. Mostly they’re working for the moving, picture companies now," he smiled. Mr. Verlnder prefaced with a for­ mal little cough a second attempt to drive away this very assured native. “As I was saying. Miss Dwight, I wouldn't mind going Into parliament, you know, If It weren't for the bally labor members. Tm rather strong on speaking—that sort of thing, you know. Used to be a dab at IL But I couldn't stand the bounders that get in nowadays. Really, I couldn’t" “And I had so counted on the cow­ boys. I’m ^oing to be disappointed, I think." Miss Dwight said. , Verlnder had sense enough to know that he was being punished. He had tried to put the westerner out of the picture and found himself eliminated Instead. An angry flush rose to his cheeks. "That's the mistake you all make," Kllmeny told her. “The true romance of the West Isn't In Its clothes and Its trappings." “Where Is It?" she asked. “In Its spirit—In the hope and the courage born of the wide plains nnd the clean hllla—In Its big democracy and its freedom from convention. The West Is a condition of mind." Mias Dwight was surprised. She had not expected a philosophy of this nature from her chance barbarian. He had the hands of a working man, brown and sinewy but untorn; yet there was the mark of distinction In the lean head set so royally on splen­ did shoulders. His body, spare of flesh and narrow of flank, had the lithe sgrace of a panther. She had eeen before that look of competence, of easy self-reliance. Some of the men of her class had It—Ned Kll­ meny, for Instance. But Ned was an officer In a fighting regiment which had seen much service. Where had this tanned fisherman won the man­ ner that Inheres only tn a leader of men? "And bow long does It take to be­ long to your West?" asked the youn^ woman, with the Inflection of derision. But her mockery was a fraud. In both volca and face was a vivid eager­ ness not to be missed. “Time hasn't a thing to do with It Men live all their Ilves here and are never westerners. Others a?e of us In a day. I think you would qualify early." She knew that she ought to snub his excursion Into the personal, but she was by nature unconventional. . “How do you know?’ she demanded quickly. 'That’s Just a guess of mine," he smiled. A musical voice called from within the house. "Have you seen my Graphic, Moya?" A young woman stood in the door­ way, a golden-white beauty with soft smiling eyes that showed a little sur­ prise at sight of the fisherman. A faint murmur of apology for the inter­ ruption escaped her Ups. Kllmeny could not keep his eyes from her. What a superb young crea­ ture she was, what perfection in the animal grace of the long lines of the soft rounded body I Her movements had a light buoyancy that was charm­ ing. And where under Leaven could a man hope to see anything lovelier than this pale face with Its crown of burnished hair so lustrous and abun­ dant? Miss Dwight turned to her friend. "I haven’t seen, the Graphic, Joyce, dear." “Isn’t It In the billiard room? Thought I saw it there. I’ll look," Verlnder volunteered. “Good of you," Miss Joyce nodded, her eyes on the sb anger, who bad turned to leave. Kllmeny was going because he knew that he might easily outwear his wel­ come. He hud punished Verlnder, and that was enough. The miner had met too many like him not to know that the man belonged to the family of common or garden snob. No doubt ha rolled In wealth made by his fa­ ther. The fellow had studied carefully the shibboleths of the society with which ha wished to be intimate and WM probably letter-perfect. None the lees, he was a bounder, a rank out­ sider tolerated only for his money. He might do for the husband of some pennllees society girl, but he would never In the world be accepted by her m a friend or an equal. The thought of him stirred the gorge of the fisher­ man. “Cheekiest beggar I erer saw." fumed Verlnder. “Don’t see why you let the fellow stay. Miss Dwight" The girl's scornful eyes came round to meet hla. She had never before known, hew cordially she disliked him. “Don't you?" She rose and walked quickly Into the bouse. Varinder bit his mustache angrily. 99 hofl bean cherishing a fiction that WM to tore with Miss Dwight and ■MM than Mses bo had smarted bw ■Mfll the lash of her eowtempc ■mile at him. "Has Mnya been very unkind, Mr. Verlnder?' He had joined the party a few days before at Chicago and this was the I first sign of interest Miss Seldon bad I shown In him. Verlnder was gratefuL “Dashed if I understand Miss Dwight at all. She bl«ws hot and cold," he confided In a burst of frank­ ness. "That’s just her way. We all have our moods, don't we? I mean we poor women. Don’t all the poets credit ua with Inconstancy?’ The least rip­ ple of amusement at her sex swelled In her throat and died away. "Oh, by Jove, if that’s all I I say, do you have moods too, Miss Joyce?" Her long thick lashes fluttered down to the cheeks. Was ahe embarrassed at his question? He felt a sudden lift of the heart, an access of new-born confidence. Dobyans ‘ Verlnder had never dared to lift his hopes as high as the famous beauty Joyce Seldon. Now for the first time his vanity stirred. Somehow—quite unexpected­ ly to him—tlie burs between them were down. Was it possible that she had taken a fancy to him? His Imagi­ nation soared. For a moment her deep pansy eyes rested in his. He felt a sudden in­ toxication of the senses. Almost with a swagger be drew up a chair and seated himself beside her. Already he was the conquering male In headlong pursuit Nor was he disturbed by the least suspicion of having been filled with the sensations and the Im­ pulses that she had contrived. Miss Seldon had that morning Inci­ dentally overheard Lady Farquhar tell her husband that Dobyans Verlnder * fortune must be nearer two million pounds than one million. It was the first Intimation she had been given that he was such a tremendous catch. , (TO BE CONTINUED.) QUIPS WITH A PUNCH They who seek only for faults, cos nothing else.

Constant complaints are received from many farmers and gardeners of the ravages of the striped cucumber beetle, the most important Insect enemy of the cucumber, melon, squash, pumpkin, and related crop plants. This little yellow and black striped pest, known locally as "striped bug" melon bug. and by other mimes, attacks the plants ear­ ly in the season when they first ap­ pear. or even before they ha*e ap­ peared above the ground. The principal and most obvious in­ jury is that done to the young plants by the Oral-appearing or overwinter­ ed beetles. Frequently these beetles burrow Into the ground to meet the plants and afterwards devour the tender stems and leaflets which have not yet fairly started. The beetles are destructive to old­ er plants by eating the leaves and by gnawing away uud consuming the outer tissues and considerable por­ tions of the stems, and still later by devouring the rinds of the fruit and rendering them unmarketable. The larvae "worms", or young are the cause of injury later, through their work underground In the roots and stems which they tunnel below. The larvae, however, are by no means as destructive us the beetles. The beetles cause further mischief by acting as carriers of the bacterial wilt. The underground feeding habits of the larvae make it certain that more often than not the roots of cu­ curbits are being honeycombed with­ out the knowedge of the farmer or gardener. The outward manifesta­ tion of their presence Is the wilt­ ing of the leaves and the failure of the plants to develop perfect fruit. Far too often the debility or death of the vines through the work of this insect Is attributed, even by expert growers, to wilt, dry weather, or some other than the real cause. In­ jury, then, is three-fold (1) to di­ rect attack by the beetles on the plant. (2) indirectly to the beetles as transmitters of diseases and (3) to the work of the larvae In destroying the root system. HOW TO Senator James Couzens announces that he will be a candidate for elec­ tion to the senatorship job be holds as a present from Governor Groes­ beck. His announcement says that he will not be tied hand and foot by either the state or national plat­ forms of his party, but thinks he is as good a republican as any other member of the party and that he is willing to bo judged on his record since assuming the senatorial toga. And at that it isn't a sure thing that he won't win out. Here’s how the Charlotte Republican dopes It out. and there are few keener political dopesters In the state than Editor Muri H. DeFoe, who says: "As the thing is set up today Couz­ ens is likely to win. This situation can change and probably will but we’re discussing the matter as it stands on July 10, one day after the first definite Information as to what Couzens proposes to do. and less than sixty days before the voters actually go to the polls to pass on the ques­ tion.

The larval period ia passed In earth that ia somewhat moist, about the base of the stalks, and larvae may be found within the sterna and on the fruit where this comes in contact with the earth. This period lasts from two to five and one-half weeks, according to temperature. Hence there is an active stage of this duration in which the larvae work­ ing in numbers have ample time for Injuring the roots and stems. Adults of the new or first gener­ ation begin to develop as early as the first week in July, so that there is some overlapping of the two gener­ ations. The entire life cycle covers from five and one-half to eight weeks. In thia district we usually have only one generation of this beetle annually.

The reason for plant­ ing this way la to conform to yhat we believe to be the best way to con­ trol the beetle The material used which gave re­ sults was three or four percent nico­ tine dust, sulphate of nicotine and hydrated lime., Tills must be applied in such a way so as to get rest with a small amount of dust and believe it can be best applied with what is known as a puff duster. This machine Is operated entirely by one hand with the other hand left free to hold the nozzle just where it will bit the beetles., The nozzle can be made of tin arid about three feet long with a flare at the end so one can hit the beetles underneath the leaves. The best work can be done on a hot day when both the dust and ground are warm, but many times, especially this spring, one would lose his crop waiting for ideal weatl conditions. So in order to make t dust volatile, heat it to from 75 100 degrees before applying.

The people of Vermontville and surrounding country are mourning the passing of the oldest citizen of ths village, Henry J. Martin, who passed away last week at the ripe old age of 88 years. He was the last survivor of the original Vermont colony who came from that state and laid the founda­ tions for the village of Vermontville. Mr. Martin was a Hfe-long Demo­ crat and had always been keenly in­ terested In politics. He was broad­ minded and-was as quick to com­ mend the good in the opposing party as he was to condemn what he con­ sidered ill In his own party. He had rare musical ability and for fifty years had charge of the choir of the Vermontville Congrega­ tional church. The Grand Rapids Press of Thurs­ day evening made the following edi­ torial eulogy, a fine tribute to a good citizen: Vermontville’s Sage. Mr. Henry J. Martin of Vermont­ ville has passed away after eighty­ eight years of continuous residence in that village. Not only his home town, but readers of the Public Pulse and this office will miss his rare spir­ it. The Press had no more wel­ come contributor and visitor than this courtly old gentleman of* a vanishing country town type, who would smile himself Into the editor­ ial offices whenever he came to "the Rapids’* and discuss the topics of the day. It became a labor of love to de­ cipher Mr. Martin’s dispatches to "the Pulse" as time and age dulled the legibility of his hand, and to edit away the few rhetorical intemper­ ances with a chuckle or a regret. When this stanch Democrat attacked the tariff he drew from a rich lore of political truth and legend, reach­ ing far back into administrations meet grandfathers of toddy have for­ gotten. To the very last his sin­ cerity and active Interest in politics would have put the average Indianian or Kansan to shame. Nor was he one-sided. His musical culture was of so deep and genuine a type that it amounted to a sacrificial en­ thusiasm; he would travel to the city, across the state to Ann Arbor, or to Chicago any day in order to hear grand opera greatly sung. Something is gone of the frontier Michigan which could produce, in its long vistas and tfllences, its ■his­ tories I traditions and its political crises, its neighborliness and Its in­ terests, such a personage as Henry GOLD BRICKS A one-armed,'nearsighted man at picnic.

And nearly every girl that came to us has kept her promise that she won’t give away her baby.’ “One of the most pathetic and tragic features of our work Is the youth of the majority of girls that come to us. Just In their teens, often, they are called upon to carry the greatest burden of womanhood, de­ prived, at the time of their great or deal,, of that normal protection and love which every woman craves." Her Two Promise*. “The girt who comes to any one of the 31 Salvation Army rescue homes and maternity hospitals Is asked tb promise two things. One is that she will stay at least three months. The other Is that she will not give away her baby. "Tho great Salvation Army rescue system seeks to soften the cruel lashes of convention's whip on the back of the girl who ‘goes wrong,’ without Id any wise attempting to plant roses on the road of the transgressor. “But vhy Is she asked to stay at least three months (*tls more often six months that she stays), and why not give away her baby) Answers the Sal­ vation Army: She comes to us tn need of help—with every man’’- hand against her. We would keep her long enough to see her through her descent Into the valley of the shadows, regain her strength and give time and her tender contact with her babe the op­ portunity to plant within her heart a love for her child, and for her to feel that It Is her responsibility. , Then we follow her in her struggle to build anew for herself and her babe. Though slie may have come to u» 'homeless,' she knows that our borne U always hers should she need It again for herself and her little one. No Girl Need Be Friendless. “Just recently a recapitulation of statistics has developed that more than 75 per cent erf the girts that pass through these homes come from smaller cities and towns snd rural dis­ tricts." an officer in the social department of the Salvation Army, Adjutant Ander thousand "modern Magdalena." SOLD BY H. D. WOTRING T/tt Ratal! Start One can get down out of a cherry tree quicker than he can climb up in­ to It, If he chooses to come down the airplane way. And the higher one goes the harder he hits the .ground as he finishes his flight. This hap­ pened Monday morning, when Clark Titmarah tried to pick cherries enough for a pie before he came down to the store. Luckily this wasn’t such a very tall tree, so that the fall didn’t put Clark out'of bus­ iness. but he's going to insist on Mrs. Titmarsh lending him a feather tick, well filled, when he picks cherries again, and he Isn’t going to use the feather bed for a parachute, either. By the way, don’t know as we ever heard of anybody falling out of a cherry tree on Sunday. Charlie Betts is building a new steel boat, with a wooden frame. Going to look quite like a boat, too. when he gets it done. The front seat, away up in the bow, is for Charlie, who thinks he can qualify as the pilot. The rear seat, away In the stern, is for George Deane, who is to be commodore of the fleet. The boat is to be hinged in the middle, and Is to fold up for transportation on Charlie's speed buggy. Warp Olin Is to be the crew, and is to oc­ cupy the middle ground. This is given out to be a necessary arrange­ ment, as nobody except Warp can handle a boat just to suit Warp. However, what strikes us as queer about the arrangement is that there is to be an air chamber in the bow of the boat and one in the eUrn, which will take care of the pilot and the commodore in case the thing jack-knifes sometime in mid-ocean, but there is no air-chamber for the crew In the waist of the craft. If there Isn't a dark, deep-, laid plot iwmewhcrc in this thing, we miss our guess, and our guess 1- just as good as yours. Poor Warp. He wasn’t bad sort, either. It's a mighty good thing one of those Ford coupes don't wear a bigger bustle. Else we would­ n’t have had a darned thing left in the house. In other words, the Jury evi­ dently thought Frank Cramer was a better lawyer than Home Downing. “DAD ALLEGAN" JOKES ABOUT MISFORTUNE. Fred Gallagher, publisher of the Aljegan News, Is something of a philosopher. Somebody swiped his Ford coupe and he turns It into a jest and makes the best of It. His story is so much better "filler" than comes to our thick noodle this dreary after­ noon that we pass It along to you, knowing It will fill acceptably any aching void which our indisposition might have left In the colyum. Found Your Car? No, No, Not Yet! A dire plot, thought to be part of a world wide scheme, took its first toll In Allegan last Thursday when the coupe belonging to the News editor was stolen from In front of the county's ball of justice. (Cries of Hear! Hear!) . Belief Is current members of a society pledged to make the "Streets safe for democracy" are Involved. Three cylinders had been missing all morning. But the entire car was not missed until noon. The loss was followed by news that a prMoner who'd been bobbing the courthouse lawn left at the same time. It was agreed both probably left together. No word has been received from either car or the jailbird. Ads were placed in the personal columns of all metropolitan papers: "Henry FHm^ We miss you. Come home. All Is forgiven. Daddy." That the theft will have a wide In­ fluence on world events Is ween by the statement Issued by William Gibbs McAdoo at the democratic **Contortions.’’ He said: "I could never be nominated now. I hereby release all my delegats." (Sone aay this is worth the price of finance of two cars.) The advertising department of the Fl ivy Motor company *s getting eut an advertisement headed.

Bier’s mother bad set about undermin­ ing any fondness he might have felt for his British kindred. Three years later she had died. She had been a doting mother, with fierce gusts of passionate adoration for her boy. Jack remembered these after he forgot her less amiable quali­ ties. He had grown up with an un­ reasonable feeling of dislike toward those of his father's family who had failed to get along with her. Borne in­ stinct of loyalty which be could hard9 define set him unconsciously in an­ tagonism to his cousins at the Lodge. He had decided not to make himself known to them. In a few days their paths would diverge again for all. time. Dusk found him in the river just above the riffles. He fished down the stream slowly, shortening his line as darkness settled over the hills. He was nearly opposite the Lodge when he noticed a fisherman tn front of him. Working pteadlly forward, Kllmeny found himself gaining on the other. In order not to pass too near be struck out into the deeper water toward the center of the river. When almost opposite the other he heard a splash not twenty feet away, followed by the whirr of the reel as the trout made for the deep water. From the shadows where his unknown compan­ ion was obscured came the dick of the line being wound up. There was a flash of silver in the moonlight, and again the rapid whirl of the reek “You’ve booked a whale, neighbor," Kllmeny called across. The voice that came back to him across the water was eager and glad. Jack would have known its throb of CUTS DOWN COST BY ADVERTISING. Does advertising raise or lower the cost to the consumer? Dr.’ J. T. Dorrance, president of the Campbell Soup Company, has this to say: In 1898 the output of the Camp­ bell Soup Company was 500,000 cans for the entire year. Now—18,000,000 cans are pro­ duced In one week. In 1898 the expense for salesmen was seven and one-half per'cent and for advertising fourteen per cent of the selling price. Now—the cost for salesmen is two and one-half per cent and for adver­ tising less than three per cent, mak­ ing a total selling cost of about live per cent, or two and one-half per cent less than It cost for salesmen alone in 1898. The advertised price of Campbell's soup Is twelve cents a can anywhere In the United States. This pays for the cost of the materials, the manu­ facturing charges, the transporta­ tion cost, and the profits of jobbers and retailers. The cost of advertising tn a single can of soup Is seventeen one-hun­ dredths of one per cent. Advertising has assisted us to stabllze our business, to guarantee tho consumer a product of uniform­ ly superior quality at a low price, to make sure that whatever profit Is yonfixful seat among a thousand. made on our raw materials is made "Must I let him have all the line he by the farmer, and to keep our man­ wants?" ufacturing organisation employed at steady wages throughout the year. Kllmeny waded toward her as he gave counsel. "Don't make It too easy for him, but don't jerk. Keep his nose up if you can.” The trout fought gamely and strong­ ly, but the young woman stuck to her work and would not give him any rest. Jack watched her carefully. He saw that she was tiring, but he did not offer any help, for he knew that she was a sportsman. She would want to win alone or not at all. Yet he moved closer. The water was up to her hips, aryl no river in the Rockies has a swifter current than the Gunnison. The bottom, too. Is covered with smooth slippery stones and bowlders, so that a mlstep might send her plunging down. Deprived of tl|e use of her landing pole, she could make less resistance to the tug of the stream, and the four or five pounds of dynamic energy at the erd of her line would give her all she could do to take care of for the next few minutes. Her pole was braced agklnst her body, which made reeling difficult. The man beside her observed that except for a tendency to raise the pole too much she was playing her trout like a vet­ eran. The thing that he hud anticipated happened. Iler foot slipped from Its Insecure rock hold and she stumbled. His arm was round her waist In an in­ stant. “Steady ! Take your (line." “Thanks. I’m all right now." His right arm still girdled her slight figure. The trout was tiring. Inch by Inch she brought him nearer. Pres­ ently she panted. “My landing net.” It was caught In the creel. Kllmeny unfastened the net and brought It rcund where It would be ready for In slant use. "Tell me what I must do now." “Ha's booked pretty fast. Take your time about getting him Into your net, and be careful then. These big fellows are likely to squirm away." It was a ticklish moment when she let go of the rod with her left hand to slip the net under the trout, but she negotiated it In safety. “Isn’t he a whopper?" she cried In delight. “He won’t go Into the creel at all.” “Then let me have him. The glory Is yours. I’ll be your gillie to carry the gome bag.” He got his fingers through Its gill before he took the hook from the mouth of ^ic fish. Carrying the trout In one hand and his pole In the other, he waded slowly through the swift water to the shore. The girl's vibrant voice came to him as she splashed at his heels toward the bank. “He’s such a ripping good one. I'm so pleased. How much do you think he will weigh?” "My cuess Is six pounds. He’s the biggest taken this year so far. I con­ gratulate you. Miss Dwight." “I would never have got him if you hadn’t been there to help me with ad­ vice. But I really did it all myself, didn’t I? If you had touched the rod before I had him netted I’d never have forgiven you," she confessed, eyes glowing with the joy of her achievemenu “It’s no juke to land one of these big fellows. I saw you were tired. But It's the sporting thing to play your own fish.” Her dark eyes flushed a questioning glance at him. She had been brought up in a society where class lines were closely drawn, but her experience gave her no data for judging this young man’s social standing. Cn.~jal Inquiries of old Ballard, the caretaker tt the Lodge, had brought her the In­ formation that the party of fishermen were miners from the hills. This one went by the name of Crambe and sometimes Jack. Whet puzzled Miss Dwight was the difficulty of reconcil­ ing him with himself. Sometime® be used the speech and the alow drawl of the plainsman, and again be spoke with the correctness of one who has known good society. In spite of bls careless garb he had the look of class. A young woman of impulse, she yielded to an audacious one now. *Tm glad you let me do the sporting thing, Mr.—Crumbs." His gentle laughter welled out -Where did you get thatT "Isn't it your name?" she asked, with a lift of the dark eyebrows. He Mfltstiil. barely an instant Of course she knew perfectly well that It was not Ms name. But it suited him not to give one move definite. "I reckon it’s ■ name good enough to bring me to dinner by," he drawled, amtling Be was back again In the western idiom and manner. She wondered why. The change had come when she had spoken his name. A certain wari­ ness bad settled over bls face like e mask. She could see that be was pur­ posely taking refuge. Id the dans dis­ tinctions that presumably separated them. Yet she could have awuru that nothing had been farther from hit ' mind during the exciting ten minutes in the water while voice anh presence ! and arm had steadied her for the j battle. ’ They walked together up the slope to the big house. A fishing costume Is not a thing of grace, but the one,this girl wore could not eciiptte the elastic suppleness of the slender figure or the joy in life that animated the vivid face with the black curia- straying from beneath the jaunty cup. To deny her beauty was easy, but in the soft sifted moonlight showered down through the trees it was impossible for Kilmeny's eyes to refuse her an admission of charm. She had the gift for comradeship, and with it a free­ dom of mind unusual in one of her class. She ran up the steps of the Lodge lightly and thanked him with a pleaa■nt "good-night.” As he turned away Kjlmeny came face to face with an­ other fisherman returning from the sport of the night. The man opposite him was rather short and thickset. In his eyes was a look of kind shrewd wisdom. Red-faced and white-bearded, he was unmistakably an Englishman of the upper class. Miss Dwight Introduced him as Lord Farquhar, and the men shook hands. "Guess what I’ve got," demanded the young woman, her hands behind her. “Heaven only knows. It might be anything from the measles to a new lover," smiled Farquhar. She flashed upon him the fish that had been hidden behind her waden*. “By Jove! Catch him yourself?” She nodded, her eyes shining. Farquhar, very much a sportsman, wanted to know all about It, after which he Insisted on weighing the trout. Jack was drugged into the Lodge to join In this function, and presently found himself meeting Lady Farquhar, a pleasant plump lady. Her smile was warm for this supple blue­ eyed engaging westerner, but the lat­ ter did not need to be told that behind her friendliness the Instinct of the chaperon was alert. The one swift glance she had thrown at Miss Dwight told him ns much. Into the room drifted presently Mias Seldon, a late novel In her hund. Joyce Seldon was frankly a beauty In every line and feature. Her exquisite coloring, the soft umber hair so ex­ travagant in quantity, the long lashes which shaded deep lovely eyes, satis­ fied the senses no less than the supple rounded young body which was cur­ ried with such light gruca. Kllmeny was not very impressionable, but In her presence the world seemed some­ how shot through with a new radi­ ance. She laid upon him the s[>ell of women. Presently Dobyuns Verinder dropped In with an empty creel and opened wide supercilious eyes at sight of Jack. He was followed presently by Captain Kllmeny and his sifter, India, the latter a pretty Irish girl, quick of tongue, quicker of eye, and ready for anything from flirting to fishing. From the talk. Jack gathered that Lord Farquhar and Miss Dwight had bet their catch would outweigh that of the other three, Farquhar and she to fish opposite the Lodge and the others half a mile below. The minor­ ity party hod won easily, thanks to the big trout and Verindor's obstinacy in sticking to the files be had used In England with success. There Is a type of Englishman that goes through life using the flies he/ was brought up on and trying to make them fit all places and time®. Any divergence Is a form of treason. Neither Farquhar nor Kll­ meny happened to be of that kind. Supper, to which Lady Farquhar had Insisted that the American stay, was being served Informally In the liv­ ing room. Verinder helped himself to a sandwich, ogling Moya the while with bls eyeglass. "I say, you know, I believe in you. Miss Dwight,” he asserted. That young woman did not know why she resented more than usual his wheedling attentions. Lady Jim had Invited the millionaire to join their party, as the girl very well knew, in order to give her charges a chance at him. Not that Lady Farquhar liked the man. She knew him quite well for an ill-bred little snob at heart. But he would pass muster in a crowd, and none of the young women of the party could afford to sniff at two millions sterling. , Since Captain Kllmeny had joined the party in Denver the plans of Lady Farquhar had been modified. The sol­ dier had taken an early opportunity to tall her that be meant to ask Moya Dwight to marry him. He had been in love with her for years and bad asked her just before his regiment left for India the last time. The captain was not rich, but be had enough. It hap­ pened loo that be was a dean honest gentleman who bad made a reputation for efficiency and gallantry In the army. Lady Farquhar was quite will­ ing to beck bls suit to far as she could. “He's our kind, Ned Kllmeny is," she had told her husband. "I gave Moya her chance with Verinder but I should have been disappointed in her if die had taken him. If she will only fall in leva with Ned Hl forgive her all the queer things she Is always do tag." Farquhar had chuckled. “Ifs an odds-on chance she’ll not fancy him, DL" “No, I suppose not Pity she can’t be sensible.” "There are enough of us sensible, DL We can spare her a few yean yet for romance. When she grows sensi­ ble she’ll have to give up something she can't afford to toes." His wife looked at him and smiled fondly. "You haven't quite lost it yourself, Jim." It was true enough that Lord Far­ quhar retain >d an Intereri In life that , was refreshing. This evening his eyes ! gleamed while the westerner told of the frontier day program to be held at tiie little town of Gunnison next day. i "You and your friends are miners, ' I understand. Youli not take part i then?” he asked. "1 used to punch cows My name Is entered for the riding. The boys want me to take a turn.” India Kllmeny sat up straight “Let's go. We can ride up -tn the morning. It will be jolly. AH in favor of going eat another sandwich.” "It will be pretty woolly—quite dif­ ferent from anything you have seen," the miner suggested. . “Thought we came to fish," Verinder Interposed. “Great bore looking at amateur shows—and It's a long ride." -Move we go. What say. Lady Far­ quhar?" put In Captain Kllmeny. "Do let’s go," Moya begged. “I don’t see why we shouldn't" Lady Farquhar smiled. "But I'm like Mr. Verinder about riding. If he'll drive me up the rest of you can go on horseback." “Delighted, *m sure." Verinder came to time outwardly civil but Inwardly fuming. “If we're going It’s time you girls were In bed. You've had a hard day and tomorrow will be another.” Lady Jim pronounced. The westerner rose to go. “Night's young yet. Stop and sit In with us to a game of poker. What!" Farquhar Invited. “My pocketbook Is at the camp," the American demurred. “I'll be your banker." his host volun­ teered. • The ladles said good-night and de­ parted. Chairs were drawn to the card table, chips sold, and hands were dealt The light of morning was break­ ing before Kllmeny made his way back to camp. He had In his pockets one hundred and seventy-three dollars, most of which had recently been the property of Dobyans Verinder.

She went over to the desk and received a large batch of mall. Since her radio debut, she had received many wonderful letters, pleasant notes of appreciation from all sorts and conditions of people. One handwriting In particular she bad found herself looking forward to each week, ever since the first letter had come, six months before, Ln which Sydney Armstrong had made himself known from a lumber camp in Mich­ igan as one of her most appreciative listeners. Today his letter had come, and a large package with it—his pic­ ture, she knew. At his request she had sent hers the week before. There was no time to read it liow, so she placed everything In her folio and. opening a heavy-padded door marked "Studio—Silence," went Into the next room. It was several hours later that they ■at in a restaurant down town.

Moth­ er is going to Italy in a couple of weeks and I have told her we will go with her." Celia looked at him with startled eyes. “See," he continued. In a low tone, “I bought you this today." He opened a small leather case and displayed a magnificent diamond. “Oh, Robert," said Celia, distress on her face, “what made you do it? I told you I couldn't I love my work too much to give It up.” “Look here," said Robert, quickly, as he dropped the leather case back in his pocket, “1 don't believe it is your work. You've something else on your mind and it makes you feel un­ certain. Well leave it until Friday night I'll meet you outside the plant If it's 'yes' well go to Italy. If it's the other thing I'Ll go with mother anyway." In the quietness of her room Celia curled up in the sleepy-hollow chair and took the package of mall from her folio. She took out the Michigan letter and the large fiat parcel and unfastened the wrappings of the let­ ter. Yes, he looked just as she had known he would—broad-shouldered and rltogether splendid. Then she opened the letter. Instead of the usu­ al friendly words of greeting she read the following: “Dear little Radio Sweetheart—All these months that you have been send­ ing your sweet messages through space have you not felt the love I was re­ turning to you through the same route?

What might have been a very ser­■ ious accident happened last Friday■ afternoon when Floyd Barnum, agedI 17, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs.. Royal Barnum of Hastings, former residents of this place, was nearly■ electrocuted. Joseph Mead, having; purchased the vacant house on thei Orr Fisher farm, engaged Johni Francis of Hastings to move the same• on Mr. Mead’s place at Martin Cor­ ners, and Floyd and his brother, Shir­ ley, were assisting Mr. Francisco। with the work. In front of the resi­ dence of Roland Barry the telephone। wires crossed the road to go into the house and the electric light wires also cross the road to the opposite side, making a cross of the wires. It was necessary in order to get under the telephone wires that some one। should sit on top of the building and lift them up. The electric light wires being up three or four feet above the building Mr. Francisco went up himself and showed Floyd how to hold the wires and cautioned him not to raise up, went down to look after the moving of the build­ ing and Floyd forgetting the electric wires, raised up, coming in contact with the high tension wires, carry­ ing a voltage of .2300. That he was not instantly electrocuted seems lit­ tle short of a miracle, as the top of his head struck the electric light wires and he was bolding the tele­ phone wires in his hand. He was seen to slump down on the roof, but being astride the roof did not fall, and Roland Barry, who attends the electric light switch on the corners, ran up and and threw the switch, shutting off the current. On taking him down they saw he was alive, as he groaned faintly. Dr. McIntyre had been summoned in the meantime '*and was soon on the spot and soon had Mr. Barum revived so he became conscious. The doctor * found he had a very bad burn pn the top of his head about twice the size of a dollar, and his hangs were also bad­ ly burned. After dressing the burns the doctor took him to the hospital, from which he was removed to his home Sunday.^ It is thought that perhaps the roof being good and dry and his having rubber soled shoes on helped to save his life. It surely1« a certainty that everybody is pleased and thankful that it was no worse than It was.

That breezy individual,* Mr. Elec­ tric Fan, did not take a day off this year to celebrate his seventieth birthday. Instead, he and his 3,­ 500,000 children continued to soothe the nation’s fevered brows. These useful "blow-hards”, In­ stead of striking for higher pay have constantly declared self-imposed wage-cuts until today. Instead of costing a rental of $15 a summer and 2 cents an hour for the current used, they can now be bought at prices ranging upward from 85.00 and costing about one-quarter of a cent an hour while In use. Electricity tor lighting in 1907 cost the country 8175,000,000, ac­ cording to the Public Utility Infor­ mation bureau. In 1923, three times as much was spent, or 8525,­ 000,000, which purchased 13 times more electricity than in 1907. If the 1923 quantity of energy had been bought at 1907 rates it would have cost 82,275,000.000 or 72 per cent more. More than a billion and a half dol­ lars annually Is saved electric con­ sumers through the progress and de­ velopments made by the electric In­ dustry as between costs In 1907 and 1923.

The other two riders who had reached the finals were both experts In the saddle. One of them, however, had been traveling with a Wild West show and was too soft to hold bls own against- the bit of Incarnate deviltry he was astride. To save himself he had to clutch at the horn of the sad­ dle. “He's pulling leather,” shouted one of the judges, and the man was waved aside. The third cowpuncher made a good showing, but his horse lucked the en­ ergy and spirit of Teddy Roosevelt The unanimous decision of .the Judges was In favor of Kllmeny. But when they sought for him to award the prize the new champion was nowhere to be found. Moya Dwight felt with genuine dis­ appointment that tiie man's courtesy had failed. She and her friends had applauded his exploits liberally. The least he could have done would have been to have made a short call at their box. Instead, he had Ignored them. She resolved to bear herself more cold­ ly if they met again. The early shadows of sunset were stretching, down the rough mountain sides by the time the visitors from the Lodge reached the river canyon on their homeward way. Soon after this the champion rider and his friend Colter passed them on a stretch of narrow road cut In the steep wall of the gulch. The leathery face of tt>e Ihtter took them in Impassively as he gave them a little nod of recognition, hut the younger man reined In for a few words. He accepted their con­ gratulations with a quiet “Glad you enjoyed it,” but It was plain that he was in a hurry. In bis eyes there wa« a certain hard wariness that seemed hardly to fit the occasion. Moya could not avoid the impression that be was anxious about something. As soon as h« well could he put spurs to his horse and cantered after hts com­ panion. Lt was perhaps a quarter of an hour later that the sound of hard riding reached them from the rear. Five dusty, hard-bitten men. all armed with rifles and revolvers, drew level with them. The leader threw a crisp ques­ tion at Lord Farquhar. “Two riders pass you latelyF "Say anything F “The younger one stopped for a few words. He la a Mr. Crumbs, camped on the river just below us.” The lank man with the rifle across his saddle bow laughed grimly. “Yes. he la—ooc His name Is Kllmeny.

She recalled now that he bad hesitated when she had n»entloned hls name, no doubt making up hls mind to let her think him other than he was. The sheriff must know what he was talking about when he said th_ man was an outlaw. But the appear­ ance of him pleaded potently. Surely those clear unflinching eyes were not the homes of villainy.

Captain Kll­ meny returned from the camp of the miner* with the detailed story of the holdup. Two masked men on horseback had robbed the treasurer of the Gunnison County Fair association as he was driving to the bank to deposit the re­ ceipt* of the day. The men had not been recognized, but the description of the Ixirsea corresponded closely to those ridden by Kllmeny and Colter. It was recalled that these twe men had disappeared as soon as the buck­ ing broncho contest was over, not half an hour before the robbery. Thia would allow them just time to return to the corral on the outskirts of the town, where they had left their mounts, and to saddle so as to meet the treasurer on hls way to the bank. It happened that the corral was de­ serted at the time, the boy In charge having left to see the finals of the contesL Cumulative evidence of guilt lay In the disappearance from the fishing camp not only of the two men suspected, but also of their compan­ ions, Curly and Mosby. “Think he really did It, NedF India asked her brother. “Can’t say. sis.

The celebration at Fowlerville July 18, commemorating the semi­ centennial business anniversary of George L. Adams of the Fowlerville Review, was such , an unusual affair that it has given rise to much more than the usual amount of editorial comment in the press of the state.

He has seen Fowlerville not only grow from a cross roads town to a live hustling community, but he has made: it the active thriving place it is. Fowlerville la the reflection of the steadfast courage, high integrity, sane thinking, kindly friendliness and abounding faith of George Ad­ ams and Mrs. Adams. Fellow editors from all over Mich­ igan gathered with citizens of Fow­ lerville Friday to pay their respects to this wonderful man. What an enjoyable event it was. George Ad­ ams will always treasure remem­ brance of the day. But more than that. Everyone of us brother edi­ tors who were there and understood some of the hardships this man has undergone, can never forget the In­ spiration of that day. While Brother Adams has not amassed any great amount of world­ ly wealth, he is a rich man Indeed. He has labored hard in a most inter­ esting occupation, he has set up a mark all of us envy, and he has made hundreds of sincere friendships— life’s greatest treasure.—Allegan News. of the organization be held at Fow­ church lawn with bls wife and moth­ lerville In honor of Mr. Adam* and er and the hundreds of his fellow (hi* anniversary, was the last speak­ citizens and presn associates filed by, er and he made the most of his toast. "True Friendship ”. Fifty years of newspaper work. What a record of service! But be­ yond. that what a thoughtful and gra­ cious thing to pay tribute to these men in whatever field they have serv­ ed. Battle Creek not long since gave a public dinner for their oldest blacksmith: one of the finest Char­ lotte gatherings was the action of the Rotar/ club in honoring O. E. Pickard, veteran business man. Any man who has satisfactorily done one constructive task for fifty years, no matter bow menial has been his em­ ployment, has earned bls right to en­ ter into the- promised joys of the Lord. Mr. Adams must survey the picture with a great deal of person­ al happiness and joy. To the bal­ ance of the company the scene was an Inspiration, a definite notice to workers in every field that, after all, loyalty, character and industry pays the largest dividends and promotes the greatest degree of happiness that make men real and genuine. As we sat at this banquet and at­ tempted to visualize what must have been playing around the surging heart of this splendid old school ■newspaper man. we thought of some­ thing Edgar Guest once wrote on religion as typifying this man's place in the scheme of things. Here be sat with his wife and mother and 1 friends and enemies, if he has any — ' most newspaper men do—and aft proud to be in at the ceremony. No moment in his life, past and present, ' will eclipse the emotions of this i hour. The things usurflly reserved ; for the obituaries of newspaper men J were told to Mr. Adams by men who understood. But we have wander­ ed from what we set out to do and that was to quote the Guest lines which we believe accurately de­ scribes the Adams pilgrimage up to now: If God can mark the sparrow's fail. I don’t believe He’ll.fall To notice us an’ how we act when doubts an’ fears assail; I think He’ll hold what's ’In hearts above what’s in creeds, An’ judge all our religion | here our recorded deeds; An’ since man is God's greatest work since life on earth began. He’ll get to Heaven, I believe, who helps his fellowman. grasping his hand and showering congratulations upon him on having reached the happy milestone in his life’s work. The company then gathered closely, and his press friends and the community he has served so long and well, presented him with beautiful gifts, in token of the nnlversal love and esteem tn which he is held. It sounds like a simple picture, and so Jt was, but there were few dry eyes'in the company gathered to do this man honor, and his aged moth­ er, in ringing voice despite her 84 years of age, thanked the whole as­ sembly for the honors which they had brought to the home of her son a* recognition of his worth to the community. It was an event well worth driving the many miles to take part in, and the writer, in com­ mon with the other newspaper editors who were present, was profoundly impressed with the evidence of re­ sponsibility which rests upon the publisher of a Home Town paper, and the rewards which may come after years of faithful performance of that trust. The picture of “Dad" Adams stand­ ing in the circle of his friends with tears of happiness streaming down his kindly face, will remain with the writer through many years to come, and we know that the remembrance of the occasion will help materially to make us a better man, and a bet­ ter publisher, striving more earnest­ ly than ever to render the most com­ plete service to our community that lies in our power to give. | CHURCH NEWS | 9QE Methodist Church Noles.

Our main streets were treated to chloride salt on Thursday of last week, and the result of that treat­ ment Is already showing up fine. Wherever the loose dust was not too deep, the surface is now hard and well compacted. The application made two years ago, was with partly deteriorated material and we did not get best results, but with this fresh chloride and properly applied, the result is very noticeable. Mrs. J. A. Baughman of Seattle, Wash., on July 14, wrote us as fol­ lows: "Win you please send The Woodland News to’ our old address, Dr. J. A. Baughman, Seward, Alas­ ka?

The Following Biographic Sketch of Hal H. Smith. Candidate for Nomi­ nation on the Republican Ticket foi^ United States Senator Prepared and is Issued by His Friends. He was a “small town boy" and grew up close to the soli and to human qualities so uppermost In American village life. He was born in Ionia; in Ionia he went to school —a life and a school that was a re­ plica of the life and the school known by nearly every great man In Ameri­ can history. He attended the Univer­ sity of Mich., and that means he came to manhood In the atmosphere of the finest culture and most splendid democracy known to educational circles. He graduated from the Lit­ erary Department In 1895 and took up law. completing his legal studies in his father’s office. His father was Judge Vernon H. Smith of the 8th Judicial District. At 23- he was an active supporter of Wm. McKinley, and though still a boy in years did valuable service to the Republican cause as well as securing experience valuable to any young lawyer. In 1900 he was elected to the presidency of the State League of Republican Clubs, form­ ing friendships among young men whose names today are known throughout the State—Judge Franz C. Kuhn, Chase Osborn. Burt D. Cady, and Lincoln Avery. In 1901 he was appointed on the Michigan Board of the Pan-American Exposi­ tion and following his excellent work on that board was placed on the Mich­ igan Commission in 1904 for the St. Louis World's Fair. A year later he was practicing law In Detroit and in 1908 formed the partnership of Beaumont. Smith & Harris, a partnership that still exists.

The act in question was his advocacy of a Workmen's Compensation law, an advocacy begun in 1910 and carried to a triumphant finish in 1912 when the special commission appointed by Governor Osborn and headed by Mr. Smith submitted its reporf and presented a workable law. The law with but minor changes still stands, a model for the entire country What that law meant to both em­ ployer and employee is clearly Indi­ cated by the fact that in 1911 the employers had spent $250,000 as Insurance against employee's claims while the employees' claims In the same period had received but $150.­ 000 for Injuries received in this dis­ charge of their duties. In 1923 the workmen of Michigan had received under the compensation law the great sum of $8,000,000 and from 1915 to 1923 the enormous sum of $32,000,000. It is generally admit­ ted that the law has done more than any other Individual bit of legisla­ tion to bring about friendly relation­ ship between employer and employee. One of his latest activities of par­ ticular value to the agriculturist of Michigan was his victory when he won for the Michigan Agricultural College the right to regulate Its own affairs and carry out Its program of extension work. c KETCHAM VUtta Office Of VUllaca Review, Edit­ ed by B.

July 26. 1924. Dear Len:— Yesterday was my date with the Chautauqua at Villisca, Iowa, and on going to the office of the Vilisca Re­ view to say good-by to the editor, he handed over a copy of the Nashville News for last week. I read it through without a skip and repeated some of the items a second time. . How it did revive old memories to read the story of the Bellevue ball game and of the coming one with Sunfield. You just Would naturally think these two towns would learn after a while that they couldn't beat Nashville. How we did trim them (most always) thirty years ago this .summer. How I would like to come down to The News office sometime and read over the stories of those famous games on the old race-track diamond. "Them days is gone for­ ever." Bert Hullinger has certainly made a fine name for himself in this section He and the family are spending the summer in Wyoming and In conse­ quence I did not see any of them. Everyone speaks in the highest terms of Bert and Ava and the two charm­ ing daughters, both out of college and teaching in Villisca. I know you share my pleasure in his success. In a sense we were both his teachers. You in the printing game and I in school. There is hardly anything that gives me greater pleasure than to run across the young folks from home who have gone out to do a fine piece of the world's work. Bert has certainly made good In every way. Villisca is a fine little city set in a perfect garden spot of a farming country. Iowa simply can't remain In the economic dumps, her soil won’t permit it. Bert hasn’t over-drawn the advantages of his home town! Can’t be done! Thought you would like this little breeze from the state, "where the tall corn grows”. Many thanks for your gracious comment on my can­ didacy. I want to be worthy of it. Sincerely. John C. Ketcham. STAGE ALL SET FOR STATE FARMERS DAY. Exprct More Than &.OOO to. Gather at M. A. C.

C. on Friday, August 1. for the annual Farmers Day at the college, was announced here this week. Exhibits are tn place; blue ribbon animals in the college livestock herds have been given a final groom­ ing; tour routes ot Inspection have been mapped out in detail, and the final arrangements for the general afternoon meeting have been attend­ ed to in preparation for the big day. With favorable weather conditions, a crowd of at least 5,000 is expected to attend the conference. That number have turned out for the past two years, and it is considered pos­ sible that a new attendance record may be set on August 1. Harvest conditions and the weather are said to be the two determining factors in attendance. For the average visitor, the day's program will Include inspection of the college experimental plats and buildings Ln the morning (following one of the marked tour routes), bas­ ket picnic lunch under the campus trees at noon, special exhibits after lunch, and the general speaking pro­ gram and livestock parade in the af­ ternoon.

He came out to the family homestead, less than 10 miles from the standpipe, equipped with a steel rod, reel, silk line and other fancy equipment. After the first hour of fishing the city cousin hooked a small fish. Des­ perately he reeled it in until the tiny fish's nose was jammed up against the end of the rod. "What shall I do with It now?" he walled to the future mayor of1 Ionia. Surveying the catch in all earn­ estness, Fred advised: "Climb out on Theres lots q’ the end of the pole and stab it with that new hunter’s knife of yours.”— folks on Easy Ionia County News.

The for­ mer superintendent of highways of the State of Illinois estimated that sixteen and a half tons of steel are used In every mile of hard roads in that state, for concrete reinforcing bars, bridges, culverts and other purposes.

That sum could well be multiplied by five, for the total number of states in the country, to show what toll Pittsburgh Plus takes upon the tax­ payers in the construction of hard roads. That would make ten million dollars. Thus it is plain how Pitts­ burgh Plus mulcts the farmers and all other taxpayers. The steel corporation may appeal the case. It has the right to appeal to the federal courts. In the event that it does so, the final determina­ tion may be delayed for a year or so, but whether an appeal is taken or not. it is plain that Pittsburgh Plus is doomed. If there is an. appeal, the Ameri­ can Farm Bureau Federation and the other agencies which have been fighting Pittsburgh Plus will contin­ ue the fight until victory Is assured. If the courts over-turn the decision of the commission, an appeal will be made to Congress for remedial legis­ lation. WARM GAMES AT BATTLE CREEK The Post urn baseball team played the ^rejuvenated Jackson Independ­ ents over the week end, losing two and winning one. The Friday game was a pitcher’s battie between Stryker, this year’s University of Michigan pitcher, and Lefty McDonald, the former winning by the score of 4 to 2. In the Saturday game the Jackson boys had a batfest in the third In­ ning and run in all of their five runs, after that McMIlland held them scoreless. Peck pitching for Jack­ son was touched for nine safeties and three runs. Postum had men on bases almost every inning but lack­ ed the necessary punch to produce runs. Stung by the two successive defeats, the Postums were forced to send back, after only one day’s rest, their pitching ace. Lefty McDonald, who Lamed Jackson by the count of 8 to 4. Sunday. Incidentally he was opposed by the former Postum Star. Geo. Winters, but due to errors by the Prison City boys.

POULTRY TOUR TO HIT SEVENTEEN COUNTIES. Longest Trip of Kind Ever At* tempted in State. East Lansing. July 18.—Poultry farms in seventeen Michigan count­ ies will be visited on a special tour which is to start in Newaygo county on August 4. according to announce­ ment made here this week by the poultry department at M. A. C., sponsors of the trip. Inspection of modern poultry plants and equipment will be the feature of the tour. While most of the poultry breeders who join the caravan are expected to stay with it only through part of a day, or a full day at most, it is aald that a few will follow through practically the entire swing for the sake of the educational material to be picked up at the different stops, eight or ten of which will be made each day.

A Kansas editor got gay and made caustic criticism of the practice of bobbing hair. The poor editor soon found his patronage gone and him­ self scorned by the women of the town. In hunger and despair, the editor tried to regain the patronage and good will of the women by ap­ ologizing. and this is what he said: “We like bobbed hair. Bobbed hair is sanitary. Bobbed hair looks cute. Bobbed hair makes business good for the barbers, and we love the barbers. Bobbed hair makes old women look older, giving them that good, girlish, grandmother appear­ ance.

Tonight nobody cared to get out rod and line. Voices drifted up the trail and pres­ ently riders came into sight They halted among the trees, where one distnounted and came forward. He bowed to his audience In general, and again and more particularly to Lady Farquhar. “Evening, ma’am. My name’s GDI— sheriff ert this county.

Lady Farquhar knew enough of the West and Its ways not to make a mistoka. Such food as could be prepared at abort notice was serrad tn the dining room.

Adding to that the receipts for the second three months, or until July. 30, brings the total for the six months to 829,916.92, according to figures furnished us by County Clerk Honeywell. The receipts for the first six months of 1923, were 827,111.67 for this county. This shows an In­ crease this year as compared with last year of 82,805.25. i It seethe quite probable that the ' total in­ crease for the year as compared with last year, will exceed 84,000.00. The receipts for the third and fourth quarter of the year are usually light, and will probably be light this year. All the receipts must be used for the upkeep of roads or the building of roads.—Hastings Banner. OBITUARY.

IRVING KING ■pHILIP MORTON was a round, com­ fortable man. a widower of some three years' standing. His office was high up In a dorid-capped office build­ ing. He had a business which con­ sisted mainly of writing letters or­ dering other people to hustle—an Ideal Job. Morton's office force consisted of an office boy and a stenographer. Trie stenographer was MUt» Primrose West. Miss Prim, the cheeky office boy called her, and Morton bad got Into the habit of calling her so him­ self. Miss Prim was thirty-five years old. angular of frame and sharp of feature. She had been four years in the employ of Morton and he had come to regard ber as Impersonally as be did the metal filing case behind her desk. One beautiful morning Morton entered the office actually bumming a tune. Mfss Prim was pounding away at her type­ writer. As he glanced at ber Philip thought tliat be noticed a tinge of color In her usually pale cheeks; some­ thing really attractive in the expres slon of her thin face, nnd there was an unwonted and pleasing note in the voice with which she bade her em­ ployer “Good morning." "Really," thought Morton. Miss Prim Is not such an unattractive woman after all. Has there really been a change in Miss Prim or Is It simply that from so long regarding her Impersonally I failed to notice that she has a rather attractive personality? In came Tom Draper from t.is little office across the hall. Draper had no stenographer of his own. but with Philip’s permission used to bring tn documents which he wanted copied. “Fine morning. Tom." said Philip ns his friend entered. "Yes, yes, so *tls," replied Tom. “Feels like spring. Any time tomor­ row will do Miss West." He laid the documents he wished copied on the stenographer's desk and went out. "Ila, ha," chuckled Morton to himwlf. “Old Tom is getting loquacious Must have caught the spring fever. Or was It—7" He looked at Miss Prim again critically. Yes, she actually blushed as she caught his glance and their eyes met. "Dictation, please. Miss Prim." "Ready. Mr. Morton." The way that morning’s business was rushed through was a caution. At -noon Philip an ndunced that he was going out to the golf club for the rest of the day. “I wish you were going too, Miss Prim," said Philip with a beautiful smile as he left the office. “Thank you, sir—but I don't piaj golf," replied Miss Prim demurely. When Morton came Into the office next morning he found on his desk, in a glass of water, a small bouquet of early flowers. “Ah!" said he, “beau­ tifuL To whom am I indebted for this. Miss Prim?" “I put them there," replied the stenographer with some asperity. “I begin to think that Miss Prim Is actually pretty," thought Philip, gaz­ ing at her furtively but appraisingly. She was wearing a buneb of UHe»of the valley that morning. This sort of thing went on for a week—every day a fresh bouquet on Mr. Morton's desk; every day a fresh little bunch of spring flowers pinned to the dress of the efficient typewriter. And every day Miss Prim seemed to grow better looking; and every day Philip Morton seemed to grow rounder and Jollier and more pleased with the world. Then came a morning when he en­ tered his office In an especially gay mood. “The old geezer's gone dippy for sure." commented the office boy as Philip went carrolling through the outer office. Morton sat down to read bls morning's mall and chuckled over it as be did so, though, goodness knows, there was nothing to chuckle over In that bunch of letters. Finally, turning to his stenographer, he said: “Miss Prim, you have been la my em­ ploy a long time. We may bo said to know eech other Intimately. I am going to surprise you. I have decided that the married state is the only one really conducive to happiness. What do you think about ItF -Why. wi>y. Mr. Morton." replied Miss Prim, blushing and showing signs your opinion." "Good." replied Philip, -I am glad to bear you say so. for I am going "Stop, stop. Mr. Morton. "Interrupted Miss Prim, "before you go further I must tell you that Mr. Draper and my self became engaged last Thursday." -Wbatr shouted Philip, “Old Tom? The sly dog! And you. Miss Prim. you are. Congratulatlou to you both. This is fine. Well have a double weddin*. What I started to toll married tn June." Afterward it oc­ curred to Philip as rather strange that Miss Prim should have Interrupted his announcement to Interject ber own. As poeal would not have been flattered to bate had two within ten days? But as she was perfectly in love with her Tom she could ignore her little disappointment. He Saw Double.

Thinks Tortoise Beats Hare for Safe Locomotion.

T. C. Beach. Jr., of St. Johns was driving his car down the road when he spied the small pedestrian In ques­ tion trudging along in the hot sun. He brought his car to a halt and asked the youngster if he didn’t want a lift. The boy was about to get aboard the machine when he no­ ticed two other automobiles, one coming from the west and the other from the east that apparently were heading for a collision just oppo­ site the Beach car. A few seconds later the car from the west, driven by Herbert Rade­ macher, struck the rear wheel of the Beech machine and ended up in the ditch minus a wheel. The car from the east, driven by Murrltt Ridenour, iras brought to a stop without dam- Twilight Ball Game RIVERSIDE PARK Friday Evening, Aug. 8 Game called at SZtS p. m.

J GRAND RAPIDS Our advice to all our people is, if you want to hold your grain, keep it at home in your own possession; if you have not storage enough for all your grain, sell a part of it It is any man's guess what this market is going to do. One outstanding fact is, however, that America will harvest more wheat than was prev­ iously reported. We should understand that it is the foreign trade that is forcing the price of wheat upward. It would be reasonable to think that when they buy their supply the price of wheat will de­ cline. Think it over, and be your own judge. GO-OPERATIVE ELEVATOR ASSOCIATION NASHVILLE.

Glasgow Plumbing Hardware STATE DAIRY MEN MEET ON AUGUST 22. Heating BILL BOOSTER SAYS Milk Producers' Association to Head Big Conference at ML A. C. East Lansing, August 11.—Dairy­ men of Michigan-will gather at the Michigan Agricultural college on Fri­ day, August 22, for a big state dairy day which promises to be one of the most important agricultural meetings of the year. It will be the regular summer gieeting of the Michigan Milk Pro­ ducers* association, while the Allied Dairy association will join in the con­ ference on the 22nd, thus making the gathering representative of all dairy interests in the state. A. J. Glover, editor of Hoard’s Dairyman, and W. H. Miller, presi­ dent of the National Milk Producers’ association, will be speakers from outside the state on the program at the general afternoon meeting. Prof. O. E. Reed, head of the dairy hus­ bandry department at M. A. C., will represent the college and the Michi­ gan dairy interests. The morning, according to the program announced, will be given over largely to inspection of the col­ lege dairy herds and of the exten­ sive experimental work in dairy cat­ tle feeding being carried on under the (direction of the dairy division. Basket picnic lunches will be the or­ der of the noon hour. A special feature of the meeting which is attracting much attention from dairy fanners of the state, and creating no little good natnred riv­ alry among friends of the contes­ tants, will be a milking contest be­ Radio Recipe. tween N.

WOTRING The REXALL Store program, which Is one of destruction and only mildly different from communism. He wants to elect an anti-Republlcan congress and an antl-Republican president. He is not concerned with the character of the men who may be elected. He knows well enough that he cannot be elected himself, but he haa . the backing of every cracked pot in the country. He is infuriated au the present moment by the rise In the price-of farm products, and he is gathering as large a body of speak­ ers a. possible to try and convince the farmer that his prices are artificially produced for political purposes. The intelligence of * the former cannot be underrated, but there are some persons who will continue to say that what nature has already accomplished could also have been done by guesswork legislation. Newspapers supporting LaFollette are carrying out his propaganda by asking whether wheat prices will elect Coolidge. They say that many farmers will vote the straight Re­ publican ticket in November because the party is in control during the year when the farmers will receive high prices. Then they go on to say “that the Republican party is no more responsible for the high prices of wheat, and the consequent prospective high earnings of the wheat farmers, than the republican party is responsible for any happy marriages in 1924." Let us assume that low prices had continued. Is it not clear that the LaFollette cam­ paign would have been based on these low prices and the charge made that the Republican party was responsible for them? It‘ls obvious that while neither one is true. La­ Follette would not hesitate to use the adverse argument while he scouts the positive one. It only shows how petty and utterly con­ temptible politics may be. Certain­ ly neither the Republicans nor the Democrats were responsible for low or for high prices. You cannot change or stay the progress of eco­ nomic laws by legislation. All the farm blocs and legislation i«T the world could not do what sunshine or rain or frost will accomplish. If we could only take the "bunk” out of this campaign, the LaFollette vote would be confined to his family re­ lations. „ Today there are more than 31,­ 000,000 savings accounts in the 21,­ 000.000 families of the United States, and savings deposits amounting to more than 37,000.000,000, controll­ ed by no one but the savings deposi­ tors. In the debate in the senate on the Fordney-McCumber tariff, It was pre­ dicted by the free traders that the proposed law would not be a revenue producing law because higher duties would check imports. A “tariff for revenue” was the burden of the song of the Democrats. The high-water mark for customs receipts during the 20 years prior to 1924, was in 1910, under a protective tariff, when cus­ toms receipts amounted to 3333,­ 683,000. When the World war was over and the Underwood law was in operation independent of the war, re­ ceipts from customs were only 3183,­ 428,000 in 1919, 3323,536,000 in 1920 and 3308,025.000. in 1921. The fiscal years of 1923 (the first full year of the operation of the protec­ tive tariff of 1922), customs receipts were 3460,000,000, and during the fiscal year of 1923 (the first full toms receipts were about 3600,000,­ 900. Again it is demonstrated that predictions of free traders about the failure of a protective tariff as a rev­ enue producer and about disasters to follow a restoration of protection, never come true. This year's crop, according to gov­ ernment statistics, will yield the farmers a billion dollars more than the crops of 1923. In many sec­ tions of the grain raising states this year will turn hard times in those states, caused by the low prices pre­ vailing for the past two or three years, into a period of prosperity. Not only have farmers suffered in the readjustment period following the war, manufacturers had their trials. During the calendar of 1928, 4,968 manufacturing establishments fail­ ed. We cannot entirely escape the results of the destructive world war, but our country is immeasurably better off than any other country in the world, and our conditions will steadily grow better as we pay off our war debt and reduce our interest charges and government expenses Life From Side Lines Van W. Pendill and Mrs. Pendill Lois’ and Dora’s joyous shrieks from the yard attracted their moth­ er’s attention. Running out, she asked them what they were doing. “We’re playing fire," cried Lois, almost breathless from excitement. "Fire?" apprehensively. “And’ how do you play that?" “Oh, It's heaps of fun! • _Dora makes believe she’s a door and knock her down. There’s little question, however, but that the phenomenal spread of the wild turnip has been vastly helped by people who have gathered the blossoms, which are really mar­ velously beautiful, and have scatter­ ed them along the way after they have withered. Mrs. Nnrox, riding along in her new gold-paneled coupe with Mrs. Highfiown, had occasion to refer to her chauffeur as “Clarence.” “How odd,” commented Mrs. Highflown, “to call one’s chauffeur by his first name.” Mrs. Nurox was quick to correct the error.

For the fourth time within a few months, one of Sherrod's big display windows is again boarded up with lumber awaiting the shipment of an­ other plate of glass for the opening. Thursday morning, Edgar Haaff of Chicago, who is a guest at the R. A. Palmer home, failed to stop his Ford at the curb and it plunged into the window, out ot control. Mr. Haaff was not driving rapidly, but in some unaccountable way, lost control of the car with the above disastrous re­ sults. The plate glass was completely shattered, but neither the car nor its driver were Injured. Mr. Haaff promptly paid Mr. Sher­ rod for the damage done, he having protection in the form of property damage Insurance, and the "hole” was again boarded up. The boards bear a huge sign, "Open for business, but park out­ side, please," which is both timely and is attracting considerable atten­ tion.—Bangor Advance. A NATIONAL PRINCIPLE In commenting on the tariff question the Manufacturers* Record, of Baltimore, says: "The tariff always has been a political, a partisan issue; it should not be so. A protective tariff Is a national necessity to the United States, for the maintenance and continuance ot the American stand­ ard of living. Shall any person, state or section of the country vote for free trade and deterioration to European or Oriental wages and living standards merely because, many years ago, certain practical politicians sought an "Issue" be­ tween two great parties and happen­ ed to choose the tariff?” Five-year-old Mabel asked her mother to buy her a doll with beau­ tiful red hair. After looking in vain in several stores for the desired col­ or. her mother ende^ by buying her a brown-eyed doll. "But you will love her just the same, won’t you?” she asked Mabel. "I will do my duty,” replied Mabel gravely. Smilin’ Charlie Says- l V “Some folks want t’live longer sos they’ll have morv time t’do th' things that keep them from livin'longer” THE STATE PAYS Hon. William W. Potter is attack­ ing the claims of the Groesbeck ad­ ministration that taxes have been reduced, claiming that more money has been collected from the corp­ orations and more money spent by the state then ever before. The receipts of the state all come from the people in direct taxation, or in special taxes, or in added prices on commodities caused by Increased taxes on manufacturers. There is only one way to get money for the state, whether directly or indirectly, and that is from the people. They pay for all the money the state, county or city spends, whether they know It or not. What the state spends each year tells the story. Eloping Wife (sobbing)—“I-I’ve DAYTON CORNERS.

Inspiriting Address by Dr. W. W. Diehl of Albion Listened to with Marked Attention. Probably no public gathering ever held in Nashville or vicinity more thoroughly enjoyed than the big Community Picnic of last week Friday. It was what it was, billed to be, a community picnic, , and as such it was a splendid success. Commercialism in every form was discarded for the day. Numerous concession men and fakers wanted to avail themselves of the opportuni­ ty to display their wares to the crowd, but all were turned down by the village authorities. Not even any of our own people put up stands or made any effort to commercialize the day in any way, and this fact was certainly appreciated by all who were Nashville’s guests for the day. The program of sports was run off on Philadelphia street In the morn­ ing and was enjoyed by.all. Winners in the various events were aS follows: 100 yd. foot race, open to all— First; Johnny Johnson, second, Clay­ ton Johnson. Potato race—First, Haley Penfold; second, Glenn Townsend. Foot race for girls of 12 jts. and under—First, Catherine Moore; sec­ ond, Ruth Bassett. Foot race for boys 12 yrs. and un­ der—First, Russell Lemmon, second, George Wotrlng. Fat man’s race—First, Howard Caley; second, Clare Pdnnock. Potato paring contest for women 50 yrs. of age—First, Mra. Otto B. Schulze; second, Mrs. James Childs. Potato rolling contest for women under 50 years of age—First, Mrs. Chester Smith; second, Mrs. Leonard Fischer Three-legged race—First, Clayton Johnson and will Dean. At the noon hour, free coffee, cream, sugar and leuonade were dis­ pensed to the various picnic groups gathered in the beautiful shade of Putnam park, where tables, chairs and benches in profusion had been arranged by the committees. During the dinner hour there was inspiring music by the Nashville high school band, which added greatly to the en­ joyment of the occasion. When the dinner had been dispos­ ed of Rev. G. A. Osborne, as chair­ man. called the assemblage to order and the invocation was made by Rev. Arthur Longfield. There was a splendid reading by Mrs. Chester Smith, a brief but pithy address by S. Hagedorn of the dairy department of the state agricultural department, selections by a male quartette, mus­ ic by the band, and then came a splendid talk by Dr. W. W. Diehl of Albion, pr. Diehl is an old favor­ ite of Nashville audiences and he kept all his old friends and made new ones by the splendid, uplifting talk he made on this occasion. Immediately after the program the lovers of baseball repaired to River­ side park, where Sunfield and Nash­ ville engaged in a spirited battle, an account of which will be found in another column, Sunfield winning by a score of 6-5. Those who were not Interested in baseball remained at the park and enjoyed themselves in visiting. Taken as a whole, the day was most thoroughly enjoyed by a large crowd, which would have been much larger except that many farmers were necessarily detained at home by the rush of farm work entailed by a belated harvest season. Everybody voiced their approval of the plan of making the Communi­ ty Pienlc an annual affair, which will undoubtedly be done. The committee having the affair in charge expressed their , great ap­ preciation of the work of many will­ ing helpers called upon for many parts of the necessary work and feel that to their efforts were largely due the complete success of the affair. NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1924 H. D. WOTRING’S AUTOMOBILE J STOLEN MONDAY NIGHT. While H. D. Wotrlng .and family were attending 'the Chautauqua en­ tertainment Monday evening his Nash six totring car was stolen. He had parked it on the north side of the Buxton block, about forty feet back from Main street, and when they came out from the tent the car was gone. Hasty search about the streets failed to show any trace of it and Mr. Wotrlng notified Deputy Sheriff F. D. Green. Accompanied by. Mr. Wotrlng, Mr. .Green traced the car to Charlotte and east on the Eaton Rapids road, where they lost track of It. They notified the po­ lice at Jackson and the authorities in neighboring counties, but so far the oar has not been located, altho the authorities think they have a prptty good clue. People who saw the car as it was leaving town say there were three men in it. It bore license number 509-805. The car was a comparatively new one and had new tires throughout, and was in splendid condition. It was insured in the Howell company. NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY. The Michigan Bell /Telephone company has just Issued a new tele­ phone directory for the Nashville ex­ change and copies are being mailed this week to each subscriber. The new directory is a big Improvement over, those of former years in that it contains no advertising and is com­ posed only of the names and num­ bers of kubscrlben. so that one can find almost instantly the desired number. Manager J. E. McElwain of Hastings informs us that there will be a new directory issued every year and that the advertising portion of the directory is to be eliminated en­ tirely. LIBRARY FUND GROWS. Three more fishermen appeared in court this week and made involun­ tary contributions to the library fund. Game Wardens Millenbacher and Bera arrested Lewis Cooper and B. L. Calhoun of Battle Creek at Pine lake Sunday for having under­ sized bluegills In their possession. The men plead guilty before Justice Leinaar at Delton Monday, and each paid a fine of 810.00 and 83.85 costs. Roy Keeler of Plainwell was ar­ rested at the same lake on the same day for keeping undersized black bass. Keeler visited Justice Selden at Hastings Tuesday, plead guilty and paid 815.00 fine and 83.95 costs. WEIXMAN BUTS OPERA HOUSE. J. S. Wellman has purchased the Nashville opera house* property of J. C. Furniss and has taken possession. He has had the roof repaired and is doing other repair work on the build,ing. He says he has not yet fully decided what he will do with the building: would prefer to rent it if anybody wants to rent it, otherwise he will make use of it in his second­ hand business. He certainly bought it cheap, 1700, including contents. NASHVILLE WINS TWO OF LAST THREE GAMES Defeat Woodland and Dowling, Sunfield Shows Unexpected Nashville, 8; Woodland, 2. With each team having one game to its credit, Nashville an'd Wood­ land met in the deciding contest at Riverside park Thursday afternoon, and it resulted in an 8 to 2 victory for the locals. Martin and Johnson formed the home battery and had things pretty much their -own wiy. letting the visitors down with two lonely singles. One of the hits came at the opening of the sixth inning, however, and followed by a couple of sacrifice hits resulted in one score. Woodland’s other tally was made in the seventh on an error and two wild pitches. . Noble, pitching for Woodland, was touched up tor 7 safe hits. Including two-baggers by Johnson and R. Townsend, and was wild at times, issuing /our passes. Three hitp, three walks and a couple of errors gave Nashville six runs in the fifth Inning, and cinched the game. Two singles, a two-bagger and one error accounted for a couple more scores in the eighth. Sunfield, 0; Nashville, S. The Community Picnic Day game was a thriller from start to finish, and the result was in doubt right up to the retirement of the last man in the ninth inning. Errors were al­ together tbo frequet, but the teams appeared very evenly matched, and it was due only to a strong rally in the final innings that Sunfield was able to come from behind and nose outji 6 to 5 victory. Sprague, the high school pitcher, occupied the mound for Nashville and though he was hit rather freely would have pulled out all right had he been given good support. Filloon, for Sunfield, held the locals to seven safe hits, but three of these were for extra bases. Johnson, the first man up, picked one to his liking and dropped it in some bushes on the river bank for a home run. At the start of the fifth, Robert Townsend pasted a circuit ticket on another, but was held at third base when the ball bounded back off a tree in cen­ ter field. These two teams will meet again this afternoon at the big celebration at Sunfield. three safe hits. Nashville put up the better defensive game, however, and won out by a 4 to 1 tally. Dowling took the lead in the sec­ ond inning, when an error, the only one charged td Nashville during the game, gave them a scoring oppor­ tunity they were quick to take ad­ vantage of. Minor was safe at first, when Mason fumbled his grounder past second. Leonard struck out and Shriner filed out to second, but Horn and Stanton came through with singles which scored Minor. Nied­ haver was invincible throughout the rest of the game and not a Dowling player reached first until the ninth, when Crane singled with two out. He was left stranded when Minor filed to Pennington. Nashville was held scoreless until uhe seventh inning, when Sprague reached first on a hit through the pitcher’s box. Mason followed with a drive over second, which Shriner scooped up and tried to convince the umpire he had caught fairly. Sac­ rifice hits by H. Sprague and T. Townsend scored both runners. Two more tallies were annexed in the eigth. Johnson started the inning with his second safe hit. Niedhaver walked. R. Townsend hit to Minor, who threw wild to third to force Johnson out and the latter scored. Niedhaver followed Johnson across the plate a moment later when Cox let a wide pitch get away from him.

The residents of the district met at the log house of Lorenzo Mudge on No­ vember 18, 1842, for the purpose of organizing district No. 1, of Castle­ ton. Kenyon Meade was called to the chair and called the meeting to order. Cyrus Buxton was elected director. Lorenzo Mudge moderator and Ansel Seeley assessor. On the same day the officers made a 'lease with Dimmic and Julia Bennett for 1-4 acre of land, where the jfi-esent house is for the purpose of building a house to be used for a school house and meeting purposes. Con­ sideration was 85.00. This lease is in the hand writing of Cyrus Bux­ ton and is acknowledged by him as justice of the peace. On motion of Ansel Seeley, 8100 was voted to build a log school house and they went to building the house right awsy. There is a record of a meeting one month later, held at the school house.

It does not, how­ ever, help the congestion in the high school cr the upper rooms, about which it seems something must be done In the near future. . NASHVILLE BEING STUDIED IN RESEARCH INVESTIGATION The Institute of Social and Relig­ ious Research of New York City, in cooperation with the Rural Life Eco­ nomic Division of the Federal De­ partment of Agriculture is heading up an educational study in rural sociology. This is being conducted nation-wide. Over 150 towns in the United States, with approximately three towns in every state are being studied. These towns are all under 2,000 in population, chosen because of their location in good farming communities, and because they owe their Existence largely to the farmer. Nashville, Ovid and Scottville are the three Michigan towns. The study aims to discover what the rural American town of today Is like, eco­ nomically, educationally, religiously and socially. Material gathered will be compiled in book form. Mias Vir­ ginia E. Franke is the surveyor who Is doing the work in Nashville.

FINE IMPROVEMENTS AT „ STATE SAVINGS BANK. A brick addition is being built at the rear of the State Savings bank building, which will give the bank considerable additional room which has been badly needed. A cellar will be built, under the new addition for a fuel room and a new furnace is being put in. When the addition is completed, the bank will have much larger of­ fices in which to do business and two private rooms will also be at the dis­ posal of customers. A skylight will be pnt in to give additional light to the rear offices, and all the rooms will be reflnlsbed, new linoleum will be put down in the rear offices and other improvements will be made which will give the bank people and tjielr customers much more conven­ ience. Half a dozen workmen are busy at thejob, which will be rushed to com­ pletion as quickly as possible. FRIDAY IS BASE BALL DAY. The. Illinois Giants, a Chicago ag­ gregation reputed to be one of the fastest ball teams in the counry, have been booked for Friday afternoon of this week, and it will undoubtedly be one of the most interesting games of the season. Not only are the Giants real ball players, but some of them are clever comedians and their conversation and antics on the d iambnd and coaching lines will prove amusing to the spectators. The colored boys, who have been touring the western part of the state and playing the fastest profes­ sional teams outside of organized cir­ cles, have met defeat on mighty few occasions, and while the locals have few expectations of winning1 they are determined to give the visitors ». fight for the honors. The management has been put ta extra expense to oring this famous team to Nashville, and local fans should show their appreciation and help the boys make "Base Ball Day** a success by attending the game. It will start promptly at 3.00 p. m. and admission charges are 50c for adults and 10c for children under 12. • OLD BRICK SCHOOL REUNION All friends, parents, teachers and scholars of the “Old Brick” school are heartily Invited to attend th* 14th annual reunion in .the Frank Furlong grove.

Mich., August 19.—The next legislature will again have the opportunity. of turning down a civil service law for state employes.

A civil service law for ’ state employes would not only In­ sure the present employes who would pass its provisions a steady job, but it would insure the slate against the employment of in­ efficient and careless workers, which is something the legislatures in the last 13 years have not thought of as a whole.

In this connection, speaking of calcium chloride and its value on the roads, County Road Superintendent James Ford not long ago observed, "The value of calcium chloride properly used as a binder is shown on your main street (How­ ard City) even if it has been a year since any was applied. You Lave a beautiful main street, one of the finest in a day's travel, and to cal­ cium chloride more than any one thing can be given the credit‘for a street, smooth, hard and easy to maintain. It would please all high­ way workers in our county if our county felt it could afford to treat the main trunks two or three times a season with chloride, but to treat them right it costs |900 per mile to apply" It appears that the "war” prices on calcium chloride have not apprecia­ bly declined.

Spragg. of the farm crops department of the Michigan Agricultural College, his wife and 10year-old son were Instantly killed at Okemos by a fast Pere Marquette flier Tuesday night.

Prof. Spragg was In charge of plant breeding at the college, was In­ ternationally recognized as an expert, and had been a member of the col­ lege staff 15 years. MICHIGAN’S BURBANK PASSES ON. The greatest Individual tragedy which Michigan has yet written into its sad roster of automobile dis­ asters was that of Tuesday, when Frank A. Spragg, best friend of the Michigan farmer, was Instantly kill­ ed with his wife and boy at a cross­ ing near Lansing. Only those who have lived on . farm and know Intimately the trials and problems of Michigan crop pro­ duction will appreciate the full mean­ ing of the state’s loss. Professor Spragg in our agricultural Industry was universally known as ’’the Michi­ gan Burbank.” Ten years ago he gave to the farmer Rosen rye, a de­ velopment of cross-breeding which differs from ordinary rye in that al­ most every flower produces a grain. This achievement alone raised the head of the M. A. C. plant heeding department to national reputation. It increased the Michigan production of rye from ten to fifteen and twenty bushels an acre. And about the same time that Rosen rye first made Its appearance, Dr. Spragg became Interested In the condition of Michigan’s white pea bean industry, which was threatened with extinction by a bacterial disease known as anthracnose. He bred and developed the disease-proof Michigan Robust bean, now grown everywhere in the state, with the result that Michigan today produces 65 per cent of the white pea beans of the United States. To these outstanding accomplish­ ments of Professor Spragg a long list of other useful applications of Mendelian heredity in plants might be added. There are the two Spragg strains of hard red wheat, now large­ ly substituted for the ojd Michigan white wheat and far better for mill­ ing purposes, making up into flour like the spring wheat of the western states.

This Grange declar­ ation furnishes the cue for sub­ ordinate branches of the Grange in all parts of the United States, and indicates the positive purpoee of this farmers’ fraternity to “hew to the line'* in its own legitimate field as a rural welfare organisation, rather than mixing up with party candi­ date* and partisan issues.

There­ fore the Grange Includes in its membership men and women of. every political party and every re-| llgious faith, and in the Grange no one of them is subject to any polit­ ical or sectarian discussion or test for membership. No Grange, If true] to its obligations, can discuss polit-; leal or religious questions, nor call, political conventions, nor nominate candidates, nor even discuss their merits in its meetings. On the other band, no one by becoming a mem­ ber of the Grange gives up that in-, alienable right and duty belonging to every American citizen to take! a proper Interest In the politics of his country; which right carries .with it the duty to vote.

Then he carefully emptied from the rifle all cartridges it contained and dropped them into his pocket. These preparations made, be sat down and waited. There came to him very soon the rumble of wheels. Pres­ ently a one-horse trap appeared at a curve of the road. Captain Kilmeny was the driver. Jack was witbin six feet of the road and he waited until his cousin was almost abreast of him. Throw up your hands!” The captain knew in an instant what he wm up against. A masked man with a rifle in his hands could mean only one thing. Ned Kilmeny was no fool. He knew when to fight and when to surrender. His hands went into the air. "Kick that rifle into the road—wtth your foot, not with your hands.” The Englishman did as be was told. "What do you want?” he demanded, looking sharply at the masked bandit. “I want that satchel beside you. Drop It out” Again the officer obeyed orders. He asked no questions and made no com­ ment. There’s room to turn here by back­ ing. Hit the grit for the Lodge.” After he had faced about, Ned KBmeny had one word to say before leav­ ing. ’T know who you are, and there’s just one name for your kind—you’re an out-and-out rotter." "It’s a difference of opinion that makes horse races, captain," answered the masked man promptly. ’ ’ ~TO RF. CONTINUED.) “I sha’n’t tell you.

"So'tiie captain is taking it back today?” he mused aloud, wary eyes on Moya’s faca A startled expression leaped to he: countenance. "I didn’t say so." ’’I say so."

The inorease for the country as a whole !s seven and one-half per cent, all of the im­ portant wheat states except Pennsyl­ vania, Illinois, and Washington, re­ porting a greater intended acreage than was sown last fall. A good yield, better prospective future de­ mand. higher price, and a more plen­ tiful supply of labor are the con­ tributing factors toward the Inc-eas­ ed interest In wheat growing. While this is a marked change, a smaller area was sown last year, and the in­ tentions for 42.919,000 acres this year will bring the acreage up to the average of recent years, but still three million acres under that of two years ago. The acreage devoted to rye has greatly declined in the last two years, but apparently the farmers of the country are renewing interest in the crop as the survey shows an intention to increase the acreage over last year by 14.1 per cent, bringing the total up to 4.992,000 as compared with 4,377,000 one year ago and 5,157,000 two years ago. However. Michigan farmers have indicated a tendency to still further decrease their acreage of rye to be sown this year, the survey showing a cut of eight per cent as compared with last year.

The seventy-second annual Barr}’ county day and night fair opens on Tuesday, September 2, and closes Friday, September 5. and promises to be the biggest ever held. The Barry county fair has always been a good fair in its purely agri­ cultural features. In recent years it has been especially fine in the exhi­ bits of stock, poultry and vegetables, but it takes something more than this to make a fair. People are looking for entertainment aa well as inspecting agricultural products, in this respect the fair has been espe­ cially fine. The entertainment fea­ tures have been carefully selected. This year is to be no exception when our readers see the announcement that Kryl’s famous band has been se­ cured for the fair. Bohumir Kryl has won high praise both as a conductor, a composer and a cornetist. His artistic talents first found expression in sculpture. While engaged in modeling a statue of Gen­ eral Lew Wallace of Crawfordsville, Ind., he met John Philip Sousa, who was successful in persuading him to go in for a musical career. Kryl’s band will be accompanied by Miss Henrietta Conrad, fine so­ prano, who was for years a soloist in Metropolitan opera. This is anoth­ er one oTThe big features of this year’s Barry county fair. There will be good racing, four ra&s each day with good purses and a free attraction booked from the leading booking houses will be given between each heat of the races. On Friday evening the fair is to close with a big display.of fireworks. This has always been a very enjoy­ able feature of the fairs, and this time will be especially good. In ad­ dition to all these fine free attrac­ tions will be the exhibits of stock, farm products. Grange .displays, con­ cessions and other features that ev­ eryone1 enjoys seeing. So one can not help but get their money’s.worth at the 1924 Barry County Fair, Sep­ tember 2-5. * . -.i IXJON LAKE PICNIC ATTRACTS BIG CROWD. The big picnic and home coming at Loon Lake held Thursday, August 21, 1914. was attended ' by about 700 people. They came from many miles around and from-other states. There were about thirty entertain­ ers from the locality where the picnic was held and from the neighboring towns. They all did just fine for which we wish to thank them many times. There were comical sayings, jokes, songs, instrumental music, readings, good talks, quoit pitching and a tug of war. People came ear­ ly in the forenoon and stayed until late in the afternoon and all went away,with a smile of satisfaction on their'face. ’ The Ladies* Aid of the Base Line church sold gallons of home-made ice cream. The. Battle Creek Cocoa Cola Bottling Co. brought a truck load of soft drinks which'was aoon well used up. The grove was filled with automobiles, horses and buggies which conveyed the people to the grounds from various part* of the country. There were several hundred feet of tables built and they were all groaning under the load of good thing* to eat at the noon hour. Those who were not at thia picnic missed a good time. Everybody is invited to come next year on the permanent date whether you live in or out of the state, the third Thursday in August in each year. Don’t forget the date. Will C.

B. senate to succeed Sena­ tor James Couzens, was tn town on Wednesday getting acquainted with Nashville people. He was accompa­ nied by A. A. Anderson of Grand Rapids, formerly cashier of the Hast­ ings City bank and well known throughout the county. Mr. Smith seemed quite optimistic about his chances for the nomina­ tion. From our point of view, eith­ er he or Judge Tuttle could be nomi­ nated if the other was out of the race, but that with these two split­ ting the opposition vote, Couzens will win.

The Nashville ball team lost both of the games scheduled last week, defeat in both instances being due to a lack of effectiveness with—the bat more than to any other reason. Sunfield won their celebration day game by a score of 3 to 1, and it wis a hard fought contest from start to finish. Martin and Johnson formed the battery for Nashville, and Mar­ tin held the Sunfield batters to seven safe hits, getting eight strikeouts. Three of Sunfield’s hits were bunch­ ed in the sixth inning and resulted in two tallies, the other score being made in the seventh, when Filloon dropped a fly into right field that would ordinarily have been a twobagger but the ball was lost in the weeds and he completed the circuit. Filloon, pitching for Sunfield, got seven strike-outs and was touched up for six safeties. Two of these, twobaggers by H. Sprague and T. Town­ send, brought in Nashville’s Ione tally in the fifth inning. Several other times Nashville got runners as far as third, but a feeble offense left them stranded. Illinois Giants 5, Nashville O. The Chicago colored team handed Nashville a shut-out Friday after­ noon, but it was a ball game all the way, the only superiority the coons showed being in the matter of stick­ work. They sure handled yieir bats to good advantage, getting twelve hits off Nelthofer's delivery, with three triples and one double. A triple and a double gave them one tally in the second inning. Two more were added in the fourth on two triples and a wild pitch. They were blank­ ed the rest of the way until the final session, when a double, two singles and an error brought their total to five scores. The local boys put up just as good a game in the field, but their batting was below par. Four safeties were the extent of their efforts, while Walker, the colored pitcher, retired twelve men by the strike-out route. Nashville had runners on bases in each of the first five innings, but lacked the punch to put them across the plate. NASHVILLE HIGH BAND ' AT KALAMAZOO FAIR. The Nashville Boy Scout Band was honored last week by being invited by the Kalamazoo Fair Committee to enter the contest put on Saturday, August 23, at Kalamazoo. Ten bands competed/ our boys drawing seventh place on the program. Five prizes were given, the wagiac men’s band receiving first prize. There was no chance for our youngsters to win against the larger and more mature organizations, yet no one received more courteous at­ tention or better applause. The leaders personally compli­ mented our director, Mr. Carl Kuhl­ man, on his work with these boys, and their courage in attempting to enter the tournament, aa many of the bands were made up of picked players from several localities. It was noted with interest that two of the'selections chosen for com­ petition numbers were, ones we have heard on our streets regularly dur­ ing the past two years. Other towns are putting their bands into the schools, and the band leader on a regular salary, thus in­ suring a permanent organization, carrying an academic credit. It is understood our local school board has had such a plan presented to them and it is to be hoped that such a progressive step may soon be taken in the interest of our young people. They have financed themselves for a year, showing they have appreci­ ated the splendid help of the business men in getting them started, but at the close of each school year a num­ ber leave town and without young­ er material being constantly trained for these places there is the possi­ bility of their being forced to dis­ band. There is no other social advantage that gains more for young people than music, and the band combined with the orchestra where credits are given would strengthen both. Mr. and Mrs. R. C.

East Lansing, August 26.—Farm­ ers who fail to take great pains in curing their hay and grain crops in the field before storing them In barns are faced with the possibility of the destruction of parts or all of their season's crop by fires arising thru spontaneous combustion, according to a warning issued this week by. R. C. Rather, farm crops specialist with the. Michigan Agricultural College extension staff. Particular importance attaches to carefal crop storage this season as satisfactory drying and curing of the crop in the field has been prevented by weather coridltions, Rather points out. When hay or grain has become wet with rain in the field and con­ tains more than its natural moisture, overheating in the mow may occur unless proper care Is taken, occa­ sionally in such degree that flames break out. Two instances of spontaneous com­ bustion have already ccme to the at­ tention of the M. A. C. farm crops department, one at Brown City and the other at Elkton, the latter wit­ nessed by Mr. Rather himself. Slightly over a week after the wheat had been stored tn a wet condition, a dull hollow thud was heard and clouds of gray smoko were seen pouring from every crack and open­ ing In the barn. A minute latqr the barn was a mass of flames and the building with the entire wheat and hay crop for the season was com­ pletely destroyed. Cinders from this blaze were found more than a mile and'a half away. "Such losses can b» prevented if growers will take great pains to cure their crop in the field", Mr. Rather says. "In seasons like the present the round capped shocks are much the more desirable in protecting the grain from weather injury. After curing, these can be opened up and allowed to air on the day they are to be hauled. When the straw down by the band in the center of the bundle Is well dried out, it will be safe for storage as the rest will have ample opportunity to air out. "The second cutting of alfalfa about to be harvested should be hand­ led with equal caution. To avoid loss of leaves, it should be cured in the windrow or the cock. In a loose airy windrow with leaves to the center and juicy butts to the outside. It will actually dry out more rapidly than in the swath. In case of rain the windrow should be turned half over to loosen It and give the bot­ tom a chance to air out. Rain or dew must be thoroughly dried off be­ fore it is put in the barn. "Salting the hay is a good safety measure. A 12-quart pall of salt to each load of hay will take up much excess moisture and prevent most of the bacterial action, which Is the forerunner to the costly, dangerous, spontaneous combustion."

The holding of a joint meeting by the members of the Michigan Milk Producers’ Association, representing 20,000 dairy men. and of the Mich­ igan Allied Dairy Association, brought representatives of all the dairy interests in the state to the gathering.

(4-®| ORDER FOR PUBLICATION. Nashville Public Schools TWE.MT.FIYE YEARS AGO. Germany has doubled her forest production in a hundred years. A different story is told of the United States where the original *forests have been reduced from 5.200 billion board feet to 2,200 billion feet. The remaining forests are only able to grow about one-fourth of the amount of timber consumed, and what we . consume represents the least we should be growing." It should be added that carelessness of campers, motorists, hunters and fishermen in this country is costing in forest fires timber enough each year to build a double row of houses from New York to Chicago. —Lowqll Ledger. "Please, sir.' said the small boy to the shopkeeper, "father wants to know if there is any such thing as a tobacco trust." "Yes. sonny, there Is," replied the man of business genially "Well, then." said the boy, "will you trust him with couple ounces?” N ORDER to somewhat relieve the congested condition of the rooms on the first floor, the school board has seen fit to rent the Community House in con­ nection with the Methodist church tor KINDERGARTEN purposes, and the kindergarten will be held there for the ensuing year. The rest of the grades and the high school will all be in the regular place. I Very few changes have been made in the text books for the grades, and for that reason students buying books will do well to consult the dealers before buying any second hand books. The Nashville high school is an ap­ proved tuition school and is on the ac­ credited list of the university. This school offers all of the required work for all of the colleges. The course is so arranged that we can satisfy the Medical, Literary or Engineering de­ partments of any of the big colleges. For students having graduated from the eighth grade in the rural schools this school prepares them for the nor­ mals and colleges without further ex­ amination. The people of Nashville have always been proud of their school and justly. For that reason it is sure to remain on the accredited list. Come and we will do our best by you. GEO. E.

A red rag is used to excite a bull. The tariff is used to inflame the publie mind.

Krina—After we had sampled Wayne county, on actual saled by the tax commission the valuation Increase of nearly half a bullion handed it this year. For years the slate and Detroit have been arguing tn a circle The state says. "Your repeated selfish efforts to dodge your legitimate tax­ es have rendered any increase of your representation in the legislat­ ure a menace to the rest ot Michgan." Detroit say*. “Your repeated failure to grant us the represent­ ation to which our population en­ titles us is a justification for our tax attitude. You ask us to accept taxation without representation." Mr. Lord takes a first step toward the breaking of this vicious cycle of interminable argument. A De­ troiter. he strives to convince the state that Detroiters can be trusted. If outstate could regard the metro­ politan delegation at Lansing with confidence in its honesty, outstate might alter its attitude toward givig Detroit its due. There is no use in eternally set­ ting up the two injustices against each other. One must be ellmln' a ted, and Detroit's is the logical first move. Mr. Lord, striving honestly to overcome the fear of Detroit which Detroit policies have engendered at Lansing, is a better friend of his own city than the politicians shortsightedly opposing him. There are many cities in the state which would like to form a closer legislative alliance with Detroit, but which have repeatedly been forced to the other side of the fence by the tactics of Wayne legislators. Men who can be trusted, who are nqt striving to use Detroit’s size in order to obtain selfish privileges for that city at the expense of the rest of the state, are too seldom sent to Lansing from Wayne county. If there were more George Lords go'ng up to Lan­ sing from that bailiwick, the cities would soon forget their enmities and unite to push some tax problems of common municipal interest to solu­ tion.—Editorial in Grand “ Rapids Press, Covering Territory.

ALFRED M. NEVINS Republican Candidate for Representative in the State Legislature at tbe Primaries, September 9th. Having served the people of Barry County as Representative In the state legislature, I feel that I am better qualified to serve them again by reason of the experience obtained. Barry county is an agricultural county, and being a farmer myself, am thor­ oughly familiar with all their problems. I know that they want and must have, towar taxes. For this reason I have fought for them, at the same time boosting for good roads to cut their cost of marketing. It was by my own motion that a proposed 1100,000.00 increase was denied County School Commissioners. For three months I worked constantly to get Trunk Line M-42, known as the Colgrove Highway, across Barry County. This Trunk Line alone will bring at least 1300,000.00 of state and federal money Into Barry County, and provide an outlet for a section of the county that badly needs It. I did as much as any member of the legislature could to pass a gasoline tax; voted and worked for a state Income tax; intro­ duced the first bill that was ever directed to limiting the tax on real estate in Michigan. I voted against nearly every bill increasIn the salaries of state officials. Including salaries of legislstors; helped to pass legislation advocated by grange and farm organistionz. When I went to the legislature It was with the firm determin­ ation to reduce state taxes on real estate, and that very thing has been accomplished. Over 8S.000.000.00 reduction has been made since that date, and still further reductions can be made without crippling onr state institutions. . If the voters of Barry Coqpty at the primaries on Sept. 9tb see fit to select me as their candidate, and elect me in November I can assure them that I will continue to fight to bring about lower taxes, and all that I can to improve agricultural conditions. —Politleal Advertisement.

Both are Hectic Sessions. Dowling 10; Nashville 1. _ In the game played at Clear lake Sunday afternoon Dowling got am­ ple revenge on the Nashville boys for their defeat earlier in the sea­ son, and came mighty near handing the locals a shut-out. Niethofer, whose slants proved an enigma to the resort team in the first game, occupied the mound for Nashville, and either his curves were breaking poorly or else the Dowling lads had found their batting eye as a major­ ity of their tallies were earned by extra-base swats. Three or four circuit drives were chalked up when the ball was lost in a clover field in deep left. Stanton, the Dowling twtrler, yielded several safe hits but was effective In the pinches and with the air-tight support of his team­ mates held the locals to one earned run. Blake, Nashville right fielder, got the longest hit of the game, a drive to left field that would easily have been a hornet, but the ground rules held him to two bases. A third game will be played on the Dowling grounds on Sunday, Sept. 21, to decide the series. Nashville 11, Charlotte 9. Profiting by their experience at Dowling, the Independents trounced the, American Legion team of Char­ lotte at Bennett park on Labor Day in a batting orgy that resulted In a 11 to 9 score. Home run honors were even, each team being credited with three circuit drives, and ordin­ ary hits were frequent' enough to almost convince the outfielders that It wasn’t really a holiday. Martin did the twirling for Nashville, going the full route, but Shaffer, an Eaton Rapids pitcher, who started for Charlotte gave up the ghost at the end otrtbe fourth inning in favor of a port-eider. who applied the brakes to some extent but fras unable to etop the race around the bases. Nashville held the lead throughout the game, but Charlotte kept fight­ ing their way along and had the bases loaded in the ninth inning when the last man was retired. Nashville’s home runs were made by Johnson. Blake and Razmus. Man­ ager Surine has booked another game with the Legion team, which will be played at Charlotte next Sun­ day afternoon in the intermission between band concerts by the Jack­ son Newsboy band. CHANCE SCHOOL REUNION. The Chance school reunion held on the school grounds Saturday was a decided success, nearly 250 people be­ ing present, some coming from a long distance, who had not been here for many years, and were pleased to meet and greet old schoolmates and friends. A bountiful potluck dinner was served to which all did ample justice, after which a short program was rendered, closing with reminis­ cences by several of the pupils of former days. The committee on sports then got in action and some of the usual field day sports were engaged in for a while. Wm. Sur­ ine, who is past 80 years of age, challenged anyone near his age to run a fopt race, but no one could be found who would accept the chal­ lenge. The social greetings of old time pupils were most hearty and sincere, many narrating events of their school days, which proves con­ clusively that the boys and girls of today haven’t anything over their ancestors in the way of mischievous pranks. The next reunion will be held at the same place the last Sat­ urday in August, 1925. NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1924 E. V. SMITH CANDIDATE , FOR COUNTY CLERK. At the primary election next Tues­ day, Nashville voters will be particu­ larly interested in the nomination of a republican candidate for county clerk. Elbert V. Smith, present su­ pervisor of Castleton township, an­ nounced his candidacy early in the campaign and is making a strong fight for the nomination. His years of service In various offices and po­ sitions of trust has brought him the acquaintance of nearly every voter In the county, and.his ability to look after the Interests of the people In an efficient and economic manner Is unquestioned. Loyal support by Castleton electors will give him a good chance to land the nomination. He’is opposed by DayId N. Honey­ well, the present Incumbent, who Is seeking a third term. R. G. 'HENTON INJURED IN DOWLING BALL GAME. R. G. Henton, who left Nashville last fall to engage in the undertak­ ing business at Delton, Is in the Nichols hospital at Battle Creek as the result of an accident which oc­ curred at Dowling Monday after­ noon. Royce has been doing the umpiring for the Dowling ball team the past summer and was officiating at the Labor Day game with the A. B. Stove team of Battle Creek. With a runner on first, he bad taken his position behind the pitcher to follow the succeeding plays. The pitcher delivered a ball to the batter, which was wide of the plate, and Royce glanced toward the runner to see if he was making an attempt to pilfer second. He turned back just In time to be struck squarely In the left eye when the ball was thrown back by the catcher. He was so badly hurt that he was taken Immed­ iately to the Battle Creek hospital, where the doctors found It Leceesary to take five stitches in the eye ball. R. H. Olin and G. C. Deane visited him at the hospital Tuesday afternoon and found him in a cheer­ ful mood, although it is probable that the vision of his left eye will be Impaired If not entirely destroyed. A SHOWER FOR NEWLY WEDS. On Saturday evening the many friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Walter C. Paulin—newly-weds —gathered at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Calkins, in Maple Grove, and pro­ ceeded to ’’shower” the happy cou­ ple in a style which they may long remember. By eight o'clock the crowd was so large—estimated at about one hun­ dred and twenty- -that all efforts to entertain them In the house were abandoned and the gueets were taken to -a friendly grove nearby. The evening was ideal. There was no friendly silvery moon, but the many cars throwing their spot lights into the grove made a beautiful pic­ ture. Here the .people visited and partook of ice crpam and many other good things until eleven o’clock, when the many beautiful costly and useful presents numbering about four million—more or less—were hoisted upon a long table by strong men. and the happy bride, blind­ folded. proceeded to guess the con­ tents of each package as they were handed to her. She made but few bad guesses and when she came to a rolling pin. recognized It’ at once, and demonstrated how she intended using It in the future, which pleased all present, barring the bridegroom. At midnight* the party dispersed after wishing the popular young couple a long, happy married life. Mr. Paulin will leave at once for Detroit, where he has a fine position and Mrs. Paulin will teach her sec­ ond term of school at Howell. FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS.

Now manager of the Banfield Telephone Company. Address, Delton, Mich.. R. F. D. S. 1 come before the people of Barry County as a practically unknown candidate, so I am taking this mean* to introduce myself and to tell the voters of the county the policy I propose to follow if nominated and elect­ ed to the office of Sheriff. First, I wish to aay that 1 am running for this office on the Republican ticket, because I am a Republican, but I wish to state here and now that. I am not a member of any political ring, clique or "machine." I be­ lieve that the Sheriff's office should be run the same way, with allegiance to no particular class or group of people, and answerable only to the peopie of Barry County, who are the people who pay the Sheriff's fees, and are the only people to whom the Sheriff should be answerable. Second, I believe that the Sheriff's office can be run more economically and more efficiently than It is now being run. As part of the plan for saving the taxpayers several hundred dollars per year. I would suggest that the State Police be called upor. to do the Motorcycle speed work on the county highways, instead of paying a man extra to do the same work. We must support the State Police whether we use them or not, so 1 be­ lieve we should use them, and get something for our money. I believe that several well qualified deputies Living In the villages of the county, within a few minute* drive of any point, will save a couple 'of hundred dollars more per year for the taxpayers in mileage fees, in addition to having an officer where needed and when needed. I believe that the business of distilling liquor in Barry County should be discontinued, and that the man who buys moonshine Is as guilty of violating the liquor law as the man who makes and sella the stuff. If nominated and elected to the office, I propose to carry out to the best of my ability, the ideas I have outlined, and I hope you will favor me with your support. ---------- Sincerely, DALE WINBLOW.

Barry county Is an agricultural county, and being a farmer myself, z.m thor­ oughly familiar with all their problems. I know that they want and must have, lowjr taxes. For thl* reason I have fought for them, at the same time boosting for good roads to cut their cost of marketing. It was by my own motion that a proposed 1100,000.09 a year increase was denied County School Commissioners. For three months I worked constantly to get Trunk Line M-48. known a* the Colgrove Highway, across Barry County. This Trunk Line alone will bring at least 1800,000.00 of state and federal money into Barry County, and provide an outlet for a section of the county that badly needs IL ’ I did as much as any member of the legislature could to pass a gasoline tax; voted and worked for a state income tax: intro­ duced the first bill that was ever directed to limiting the tax on real estate In Michigan. X voted against nearly every bill incrsaala the salaries of state official*, including salaries of legislator*; helped to pass legislation advocated by grange and farm crgaui- atlon to crippllag C«ndM»u tor Rwbllcan Congress, 4th Dist. PrixDATT Sept- &th Measure of a Candidate A candidate for Congress should have strength to represent and defend his District; he should have ability of character as to rightly relate him to the interests of the State and Nation. A Congressman's duty La not discharged as a "watch dog" for hts Immediate constituency. He must have structural vision for both national and international questions. A Congressman with no great ambitions “political and personal will not likely keep abreast of his day on advancing governmental policies. We need a man who will dare to think and lead, as well aa with great ac­ cent and certainty to stand for his most obscure constituent. A Congressman should be established on fundamental moral lines, not only recognizing right as the standard of progress, but in arl matters of law and government, his character should be so thoroughly known as to give assurance to every voter and con­ stituent of this District that his vote will always represent right. A Congressman should be a represenative of all the voters of his District regardless of party, race, or prejudice. In my judgment, John J. Sterling of Berrien County meets these measures of a candidate. _ _____ ' . ‘ By a Berrien County Voter.

It will well repay buyers to come for many miles to take advantage of the many special bargains offered by our merchants on these two big days. A glance through the advertisements in The News this week and next week will give you some idea of the merchandising specialties which Nashville merchants will offer on these two days, Friday and Saturday. September 19 and 20. You can’t afford to miss them. . This two day offering of most desirable merchandise at sacrifice prices means much just at. this early fall season, when stocks are un­ broken and the fall buying season has just begun. It will enable the frugal buyer to stock up in" many lines for fall and winter at prices which in many cases represents actual wholesale cost of goods, and in some cases even less. Nashville is always a good town in which to trade. The merchants carry larger and better stocks than are usually carried in a town of the size of Nashville. There are enough merchants in each line so that competition Is always keen and prices are kept at a minimum. Conse­ quently, when marked reductions are made in many lines as a special inducement for these two special trade days, it means a noteworthy op­ portunity for the buyer to save money on his early fall merchandise. Don’t forget the dates, and don’t let anything keep you from taking advantage of ‘these two big special trade days, Friday and Saturday, September 19 and 20. You will be entertained -free of charge on both of these days at the Park theatre. On Friday, starting at ten o'clock in the morning and running continuously except at the dinner and supper hours until ten o’clock at night the attraction will be Mary Pickford in “The Love LlghU” On Saturday, starting at ten o’clock in the morning and run­ ning until supper time, with the exception of the noon hour, the at­ traction will be Charles Ray in “The Girl I Loved.” Both of these shows will be entirely free to all. You won’t need a ticket of any kind. The doors will be open; walk in and enjoy the shows. Nashville mer­ chants pay the shot. Saturday night Manager Sprague will present a big feature show, Doug Fairbanks in "The Nut." America’s athletic comedian in a picture full of comedy and action. The Saturday night show will not be free,* but Manager Sprague is making the low prices of 10 and 20 cents for this special big feature. Remember, Friday and Saturday. September 19 and 20.

Both are now easy hills for any automobile to climb without shifting gears and the rest of the work on the road Is all good, so that there is no doubt of its acceptance by the county and state. Now when O’Connor & Son com­ plete their work on the west end and get it in shape as good as the east end is, we will have a real highway from Nashville to the county seat, something-that has been badly need­ ed for many years. It is now so late in the season that all hope has been given up of the mile of pavement in the village being put in this fall, but we have hopes that It will be installed early in the spring and that the missing link be­ tween Nashville and Battle Creek will be put in next season. We have had promises enough, but they make hard travelling. GRAND RAPIDS WHOLESALERS WILL VISIT NASHVILLE. A party of Grand Rapids whole­ salers. under the auspices of the Grand Rapids Chamber of Com­ merce, wiU visit Nashville during the week of October 5, coming in a spe­ cial train of Pullman’s, in a swing through this section of the state. It is expected there will be about a hundred in the party and they will bring with them the Furniture City band, which will play a concert at Union Square during the visit of the wholesalers to the various business places. It is the desire of the wholesalers that arrangements be made to have the pupils of the schools meet the train upon its arrival to march up town in the parade and have the pleasure of hearing the fine band concert, and we have no doubt the school will make such arrangements. LAST CALL. This week is your last chance to make good on your contribution to the Salvation Army fund for the coming year. We feel sure no one in Nashville is willing to let this mat­ ter be closed up without their doing their share. If you believe in the Salvation Army and the wonderful work it is doing, hand in your con­ tribution this week to C. A. Hobgh or Von W. Furnlss at the Farmers & Merchants bank. Committee. nesday afternoon of last week in a. lengthy contest that had to be called at the end of the eighth inning on account of darkness. Nel thofer and Johnson formed the battery for Nashville, and with a sate lead piled, up in the early part of the game Benny retired in the sixth round and gave Ted Townsend- and Blake a chance in the box. Hosey started, on the mound for Portland, but th® locals took a liking to such of his offerings as came within reaching distance' and he only lasted a short time. His successor showed better control and a willingness to work but was not effective enough to keep the game from turning into a rout. Charlotte 4, Nashville 0. Sunday’s game at Charlotte re­ sulted In a shut-out for Nashville the American Legion team winning by a 4 to 0 score. The game started in a drizzling rain, which continued throughout the contest, slowing up the grounds and making fast play almost an impossibility. The hard hitting which featured last week's game was noticeable by Its abscence, one home run being chalked up to Charlotte’s credit when an ordinary single took a bad bound and got away from Blake in. right field. Razmus, Nashville short stop, tried to stretch a three-bagger into a home-run but was pegged out at the plate by a few feet. Nelthofer and Johnson did the battery work for Nashville, and with the exception of the early inning® when Charlotte got several lucky hits through thfe center of the dia­ mon, had the game well in hand. Peck, another Eaton Rapids twlrler, performed (or Charlotte and, judg­ ing by the score, did his work well. Considering the weather con­ ditions it was a good game, and the fans snowed their interest by stick­ ing to the finish. The Independents will play Friday afternoon at the ceebration at Grand Ledge, and next Sunday afternoon the Bellevue team will be here for a return game. NOTICE.

TWO ESCAPE INJURY AS CAR PLUNGES FROM WEST BRIDGE A miraculous escape from death was effected Supday afternoon when a Durant touring car with two oc­ cupants was forced from the west bridge into the Battle Creek river some ten or fifteen feet below. The accident was caused, as was a similar one two weeks ago, when two cars came upon the narrow bridge at the same time. The Durant car driven by a young lady, a nurse of Kalamazoo, was thrown from the bridge when struck by the Ford sedan drives by C. W. Crull of Gary, Ind. The young lady and a thirteen year old boy, whose names were not learned, escaped in­ jury while their car was badly dazn- We want to emphasize to the people of this, vicinity that we are handling the SOO WOOLEN MILLS line, the all wool goods for out-door wear.

After walking a North Ionia the star disappeared, but we ways I looked around and saw a car had gotten our bearings and were coming which I thought was ours, on the trail to Houghton Lake. but when It came up it was a car Crops through Ionia and Montcalm filled with Indians. At Harrison we were about the same as in Barry ate our dinner then went on north, county. Just before reaching Mount before getting to the lake there was Pleasant, in Isabella county, we saw something the matter with the road some of the finest pieces of corn I ahead. We turned off into the woods have seen anywhere this year. From on a trail for a number of miles. there north the crops began to grow This trail was so crooked we could poorer.

The rest of the dollar is spent like this: o ~ 19% tar food, U% tat clothta*. 10% for taxer, 9% tar Houghton Lake is the Largest in­ land lake in Michigan. 20 miles long and 9 miles wide, with fine bathing beaches. At Thornapple and Gull Lake, Petoskey and Bayview you have to keep close in shore. It looks strange here to see them «nt half a mile and their heads and should­ ers showing above the water. Even the dogs go in bathing here. One morning early 1 saw two ot them out in the lake, swimming and playing around. After a while one tried to get back on the dock and every time it would get most up the other would pull It back, then they chased 'fine and another to shore. After running around and shaking the water off. one started on the run down the dock when it got to the end he gave a spring and landed nearly 20 feet out In the lake. Tuesday afternoon we drove to Cadillac, 40 miles west, passing through Lake City. Cadillac is a fine city on the shore of Lake Mitch­ el, with some fine stores. Main street is very wide. They park their cars in the center of the street, with plenty of room on each side. As I walked down behind the string of cars, I saw a familiar name on one car—"Nashville". I wondered if it was anyone I knew up there, but as I looked at the line below, I read Tennessee. We drove around the lake on a pared boulevard of 8 miles. Just at the north end of town we passed plies of lumber that covered acres of ground. A little farther on we passed a free tourist camp in a fine grove between the pavement and the lake at Cadillac. I tried to look up an old school mate, Phil Bolinger. We went to school together in the oid: checkered school house, 60 years ago. but he had gone across to Milwaukee to his daughter's. Thursday afternoon we drove down the lake on a fine gravel road through Prudenville, then turned off the gravel at a place marked the end of the trail to another resort, then out on the gravel again, then nine miles farther on to Higgins lake, which is a very deep lake. Some claim there are places where they have never found bottom. After picking winter greens on the bank we started to drive to Roscommon, 9 miles farther out, then back to the cottage, having drove clear around Houghton lake. To get to the fish­ ing ground you have to row out In­ to the lake about 1-2 mile as the larger boats can't get to shore, then hitch on tow. The morning we went out there were 12 boats in tow. It is about ten or twelve miles to the fishing ground and generally takes about an hour to get out there. The boats cast off and row to different part of the lake. At noon they will ring the bell and the boats gather and start for the shore. Friday afternoon we started for Chesaning, 100 miles down the pike. At one place, coming out, we drove nearly an hour on a gravel road and only saw two or three houses where anyone was living and about as many where they had tried it and pulled out. At one place we could look ahead and see the road 7 or 8 miles, then turn around and see It as far back. No farms, nothing but brush beside the road. We stopped at Midland for a while. In the fall of 1863, 61 years ago this fall, I walked from Saginaw to Midland, then on to St. Louis and Ithaca to St. Johns, took the train there to Saranac, then walked home. Startea from Saginaw Monday morn­ ing and reached home Saturday night. The first day out the houses were so far apart I did not find a place to stop for the night until In the evening. When I went to bed I found the bed tick was filled with corn stalks. I was tired and slept well. The next night I stayed at the hotel at Midland. Midland at that time was a small rough, lumber town Ju H about one-third . aa. large as Nashville Is now. (Midland now is a fine city of 5.000 inhabi­ tants, with.fine bank buildings, fine stores and the largest chemical works in the.Forld.) A few milea out of Midland to the last house be­ fore getting to 17 or 18 miles of. woods, as it was then the middle of thp afternoon, I stopped for. the night. The man was out in. his log barn threshing out his crop of wheat with a flail. After sitting and watching film a while I told him if he had another flail. I .would help him. He got another and we finlabed up all he had a little after sun­ down. He said he commenced that morning, and that wm the largest crop of wheat in Midland county. Just before night another young man came along and stopped, so not to get in the woods at night, and we traveled together the next two days. The man where we stopped bad been up north somewhere hunting and had killed a moose. We had moose meat for breakfast. If you have ev­ er eaten moose meat you will re­ member it, as it will stay tn your mouth one day at least. About sun­ rise we started into the woods. There was no cut-out road, just a road to get. hay and supplies to the lumber camp, most of the way In sight of Pine river. A. little after noon we came.to the next house and stopped for dinner. We found aa oldish man with r. younger wife. They were jtast setting up a new stove. He was grumbling and said he didn't believe the new tangled thing was sny good.

Man Warns Against Handling Crop Too Green. East Lansing, Sept, 9.—With many fields of corn in tho state which will not mature for grain harvest this year, because_of_____ the backwardness of the season, the silo is expected to pay its way rather completely by providing a means of handling the crop effectively. The farmer with a silo, according to Prof. O. E. Reed, head ot the dairy division at the Michigan Agri­ cultural college, will be able to save all tho crop that doesn’t mature. One danger against which Pro­ fessor Reed cautions Is that of put­ ting corn into .the silo too green. This is frequently done, It Is said, to avoid posable frost, but the silage made from very green, sappy corn will make a washy, sour feed that *s unpalatable and does not have the feed value it should. "It is better", says Reed, "to let the corn stand until after the frost than to put it in the silo too green. When this practice is followed, tho corn should be cut as soon as possi­ ble after it is frostd; otherwise there will be considerable loss of nutri­ ment. The leaves dry very quickly after a frost, become brittle, and are easily lost off the stalk. "If it Is desirable to fill before the frost, the corn should be cut and al­ lowed to lie in the field for at least twenty-four hours, or a sufficient length of time to lose some of the excess moisture. The excessive moisture is the cause of sour silage. It Is better to let the corn get too dry, and then add sufficient water to get the silage to pack, than to ensllo the crop too green.” WAR SALVAGE EXPLOSIVES FOR MICHIGAN. A new way has been found of mix­ ing several explosive materials left over from the war so they can be used for clearing out rocks and stumps on the farms and building roads. The new explosive is called Pyro­ tol and will be available for distri­ bution through the Agricultural En­ gineering Department of the Michi­ gan Agricultural College, this fall. Much of the explosive material left from the War has been thought unfit for use for agricultural blast­ ing for a long time, but tests and experiments conducted by the agri­ cultural Engineering Departments of the Colleges, principally in the Lake States and U. S. Departments of Ag­ riculture, proved that they could be used and T. N. T., picric acid, and Sodatol have saved the farmers ot the cut-over regions hundreds of thousands of dollars in clearing their farms. Pyrotol, which will be distributed through the Agricultural Engineer­ ing Department of Michigan Agri­ cultural College is very similar to Sodatol and other, explosives In use. Due to the extra work of mixing and cartridging this material, Pytrotol will cost about two cents per ponnd more than Sodatol did last year. However, Pyrotol has about 300 sticks per 100 pounds as compared to 240 of Sodatol, which makes the cost about equal. Pyrotol is a safe explosive to use and compares stick for stick, with 40 per cent dynamite. It will shoot with a No. 6 cap and with proper care, can be stored with­ out any loss. Not only is pyrotol going to save thousands of dollars to the farmers of the Upper Peninsula, but it will enable the clearing ot twice as much land as would otherwise be done, with the same amount of money. Pytrotol will in actual cost, be about the same as Sodatol was In the Upper Peninsula last spring because the Agricultural Engineering De­ partment announces they have se­ cured another allotment ot tree blasting caps from the War Depart­ ment. There are enough of these cape so 100 blasting caps will be giv­ en free with each 200 pounds of Py­ rotol sold in the Upper Peninsula. Orders for Pyrotol can be placed with the county agents in all the coun­ Arriculties or sent in direct to the Agrlcultnral Engineering Department of Ute Michigan Agricultural college at Marquette. It is expected at least 100.000 200,000 lbs. of Pyrotol will be used tn the Upp?’ Pen Insula this fall.

The following article from the Battle-Creek Enqulrer-Newi of Sep­ tember 11 will make mighty good reading to a lot of people living be tween Nashville and Battle Creek. This is very likely the same gang who have raided farmers’ poultry houses in Maple Grove and Assyria by wholesale in ths past two or three years, and everybody hopes if they are convicted they will be shown little mercy. . Five alleged chicken thieves are now in ’custody as the result of a determined effort of the sheriff’s of­ fice to corral coop robbers and stop losses to farmers of their flocks. The latest catch of persons sus­ pected of rifling chicken houses oc­ curred in La Grange, Ind., yesterday, whtn Joseph Ernsberger, 21, and Harry F. Cole, 80, both of Fairfax addition in Emmett township, were held by a sheriff at La Grange and later turned over to Undersheriff Bhymer and Deputy Watts of this city. One of the men is said to have admitted chicken thieving, according to Mr. Bhymer. Both were in the act of disposing of 35 chickens at' a butcher shop in LaGrange when the proprietor became suspicious and called the sheriff who took them in­ to custody. After questioning, one of the men admitted the theft of chick­ ens and Implicated the other, the of­ ficers say. Bhymer and Watts went to LaGrange last night and brought the two men to Battle Creek. * The chickens, still alive, are to be ship­ ped to Battle Creek by express. They are said to be a portion of a flock be­ longing to Charles Hollinger who lives near the base line between Bar­ ry and Eaton counties, he having lost 32 hens and a rooster -Saturday night. Robert Weigand, 88 Lafayette, Bert Williamson and Harley Badger are now in custody on a warrant charging them with tne larceny of chickens from the home of Mrs. John Weigand, 10 miles east of the city on the Gorsllne road. According to the undersheriff the five men form a gang which has ter­ rorized farmers of four counties during the last six months, stealing, it is believed, at least a thousand chickens. Farmers’ wives, toiling in the early spring and summer to bring up a flock of chickens to furnish the house, to purchase a new dress, carIng for each chick through sickness, attending to their needs in all weath­ er, have been awakening mornings to find the object of their toll gone from them. Thieves in the dark have blotted out the year’s work. Weigand. Williamson and Badger arp said to have maintained a "chick­ en farm.” where, after some coop had been raided the chickens were taken and housed until the market was "right” and then sold. Stolen flocks would be mingled to make identlflcation practically impossible, it is said. Sometimes after the "farm” would be cleared of chickens, officers have discovered, there would be a sudden Influx of fowls. They would come in over night. Local officers counted 25 chickens at the ’’farm” believed to have been operated by the three men one eve­ nlng. The next morning there were more than 75 chickens there, the fowls acting in a manner which indlcated they were “not at home.” It is said the two men taken in LaGrange admitted they had been in on raids with Wiegand, Williamson and Badger although they claim they were not in the gang which visited the Wiegand home Sunday night at the time Mrs. Wiegand threw a neck­ yoke through the windshield of tha car of the thieves. • According to Undersheriff Byhmer he was told by one of the men taken into custody last night that the way the thieving was accomplished with­ out knowledge of farmers was somewhat as follows: A farm house would be selected where there was a considerable flock of chickens. In the evening the house would be “covered” by one or two of the gang to see whether the family went away. To make sure, after some one of the family left, one of the men would go to the door with an excuse and knock. If no one responded the au­ tomobile of the gang would be driven in the yard and the chickens taken as soon as they went to roost. It is said the thieves became accom­ plished in the art of catching a chick­ en from a roost without causing the fowl to make a noise. BARRY COUNTY FARM BUREAU. Corn Growers Watch Your Step.

Old corn Is going rapidly to mar­ ket. High prices are proving a pow­ erful magnet which Is pulling the ears out of the remotest corner of the cribs.

Many persons comment on the fact that the Presidential campaign seems to be devoid of excitement ex­ cept that which is artificially stimu­ lated among the followers of certain of the candidates and the paid pro­ ponents of radicalism. Those who remember other Presidential cam­ paigns will admit that there Is a sharp contrast between this one and those of twenty years or more ago. The reason i3 comparatively obvious. The majority of the American people have made up their minds on the is­ sues. They are the thoughtful citi­ zens who do not wait to be told what conditions are and what the possi­ bilities of changes in political power may mean; they make up their own minds through observation, study, and, one might say. Instinct. The very quietness of the campaign it, reassuring. The old days of red fire, brass bands and bombast #ere pictur­ esque, but not convincing. If our American people will go to the polls on next election day after a thought­ ful consideration of the issues and the candidates, there will be no need to worry about the future of the Unit­ ed States, the stability of ItS'government or the prosperity of its people, but there are, of course, a large number of the unthinking to whom It will appeal. Th© proportion of radicalism to conservation is not very great, but a conservatism which Is Indifferent can be beaten by a radi­ calism which Is active. The quiet study of the political situation must be translated into definite effect on election day by putting into the rec­ ord, in the form of a vote, the con­ clusions arrived at after mature de­ liberation.

A similar bridge would cost at the present time at least 82,500 for the bridge alone so great has been the increase In the prices of iron and steel, so the township board did wisely in contracting for the bridge last year.

Although the attendance was not as large as it ought to have been, the interest was good and considerable electioneering was Indulged In. Evi­ dently every voter in the district op­ posed to the improvement was pres­ ent whilst a large number of citizens, who were deeply Interested in the erection of a new building was un­ avoidably detained from the meeting. However when the ballot was count­ ed at nine o’clock it was found that the project had carried by a major­ ity of eleven. Whole number of votes cast 123; for project 86, against 37. The board will immed­ iately secure plans and specifications, and then let the contract for the erection of the new building. H. M. Lee Is at' the State Fair ex­ hibiting his wheel hoe.

Sept. 16.—The Michigan corn .crop is in a dangerous condition, with a large percentage of the crop having but little chance of ripening, according to Prof. J. F. Cox. head of the farm crops depart­ ment at the Michigan Agricultural OoMege. The most serious side of the sit­ uation, is said, lies In the posslbil.. -I. a itgreat 1:7 shortage of adapted J . seed for the state’s planting next year, unless farmers make a special effort to field-select seed corn and dry it properly. Lateness of plant­ ing last spring and the low temper­ atures of the growing season are given as reasons for the backward­ ness of the crop, conditions being similar to those of 1917. ' Ways in which the danger of a seed shortage may be overcome have been discussed by Professor Cox, briefly as follows: "Experiments at the Michigan Agricultural College show that seed of high germination can be secured from corn in the dough, or even in the milk stage. If it is properly dried in the fall before being affected by freezing weather. While beet seed results from selecting in the field, at the time of maturity, good seed can nevertheless be secured from imma­ ture corn If it is immediately dried under conditions where free ventila­ tion exists. Corn carrying a high mois­ ture content should be dried in an artificially heated room or seed corn drying house with windows or ven­ tilators open. "Good seed corn of adapted varie­ ties will be exceedingly valuable to Michigan farmers next spring. Such seed can be secured only by selec­ tion in the field this fall. It looks as though the disastrous ex­ perience of the fall of 1917, which caused a wide spread short­ age of seed the following spring, may be repeated this year unless corn growers in general make special effort to select and cure their seed. The same condition prevails In North­ ern states and throughout the corn belt. "Supplies of old corn of last year's crop of good germination, which have been properly stored, should be saved as a source of seed for next year."™ SHORE'S SCHOOL NOTES. School began Monday. September first, with an enrollment of 22— nine boys and thirteen girls. Classified according to grades there is one in the first, 8 in the second. 1 in the third, 3 in the fourth, 4 in the fifth, 3 in the sixth. 4 In the seventh and 3 in the eight. It seemed good to get back to school and to study, after our long vaca­ tion. Geneva Rasey was our first visitor this year. She visited ns Friday af­ ternoon. There will be no parent-teacher’s meeting Friday night because of the lateness of the season. However there will be one the third Friday In October. The eighth grade has started a pro­ ject of weed study. We have our specimens classified according to life of plant, and are waiting for them to dry so we can mount them. The fifth and sixth grades have had descriptions of flowers for lan:guage work. The flower is fasten­ ed to the paper and It gives us some pretty pictures for the wall as well as description work. We have all enjoyed the flowers which we have received this year. They help make the schoolroom a real place to be. Mary Early now plays' for us to Bing In the morning. We all appre­ ciate It, Mary. The second grade has been study­ ing the "Goops." The Goops are Impolite boys and girls and none of us want to be like them. joy the new door we are going to have. The seventh grade is studying Evangeline for reading. The bumble bees which gave us so much trouble the first week and stung the teacher four time, have disappeared. It Is surely a relief not to be expecting to be stung ev­ ery time one enters the play ground. The fifth grade hygiene class is making posters of building, strength­ ening and beating foods. The chil­ dren cut pictures out of magazines of food and bring them to school to use in making the posters. In a seventh grade geography test given Wednesday, several of the clat.^ received a mark of 100. Don’t forget to visit school, member. It’s the cooperation parents and teacher that helps to make the school a success. Visit the school. C. Gladys Miller, teacher. BACK BAD TODAY?

One glance told Moya that her chap­ eron had made up her mind to drive Jack Kllmeny from the field. Lady Jim looked at her husband. He cleared hls throat in some embarrass­ ment. "Mornln’, Mr. Kllmeny. If you have time Td like to have you look over some ore samples sent from our mine." The American smiled. He under­ stood perfectly. "I’ve got all the time there is."

G. C. McCall* of Chicago ’ Makes Fine Talk on .Conserva­ tion and Convinces Hearers. Nashville is to have a chapter of the Isaak Walton League. The pre­ liminary organisation was. made Wednesday evening of last week, when Dean T. G. C. McCalla, nation­ al lecturer of the Isaak Walton League of America visited Nashville and talked to a number of local citi­ zens at the Nashville Club auditori­ um. He outlined some .of .thethings the league hopes to accomplish along legislative lines looking toward the conservation of the lakes, streams and forests of America as the league gains in strength and numbers. He said Michigan is the greatest of America’s natural out-of-doors states in many ways, with its thousands of lakes and streams and its immense acreage of wooded areas, and he predicted that before the close of 1924 Michigan would have at least a hundred chapters of the League organized. Following his address a local chapter was organized, with L. F. Feighner as temporary president and C. J, Betts as temporary secretary. It is expected that within the next fortnight Nashville’s charter will be granted and another meeting will be called to complete the organization and let it take its place in the Mich­ igan branch of the league. Dean McCalla is to hold a meeting a^, Hastings tonight and hopes to organize a chapter there. Middle­ ville is also ripe for a chapter of the organization. Local men who believe in the pres­ ervation of Michigan forests and streams, who love the state and hope to make its happiness and prosperity enduring for the sake of those who come after us, are asked to join. The expense is nominal and the work of the league Is well worth while.

COMMUNITY TRADE DAYS BROUGHT MANY BUYERS. Not in many moons have so many buyers thronged the stores of Nash­ ville as were In evidence Friday and Saturday, when they came from far and near to avail themselves of the numerous bargains offered by the merchants of Nashville. Many strange faces were among them, peo­ ple who seldom come to Nashville to trade, but all of them found that Nashville merchants were living up to their advertising and were giving very real bargains. Nearly all of the stores report splendid business on both days and the sale of lots of goods aside from those speclally advertlsed for the occasion. .When these people, many of them living much nearer other trading plac­ es than Nashville, learn that the stores of Nashville are progressive, snappy, filled with splendid assort­ ments of seasonable goods, they will come again and often. EBEN L. SMITH MOVES UP ANOTHER STEP OF LADDER Former Nashville Boy Goes From Hillsdale to Toledo in Service of New York Central Lines. Eben L. Smith, former Nashville boy, who has been for several years trainmaster of the Lake Shore branch of the New York Central lines, from Lansing to Hillsdale, has been advanced to Toledo, where he will continue in the same line of work, only with charge of 3 greatly extended field. He is consequently moving from Hillsdale, where he has lived for many years, to make bls home at Toledo, his new headquar­ ters. We clip the following account of a farewell party given him at Hills­ dale last week from the Hillsdale Daily: Eben L. Smith, for the past four years trainmaster of the N. Y.

Friends from Fort Wayne, Elkhart and other Indiana stations. Jackson. Eaton Rapids. Tecumseh. Hillsdale and other surrounding towns were present at the party. During the early part of the eve[ nlng the L’Amoreaux orchestra en­ tertained the guests. Later rail­ road employes from the various de­ partments gave short talks on their experiences with Mr. Smith In the service. The talks were highly pleasing and filled with incidents of humor. Supt. E. R. Bissell presented to Mr. Smith in honor and appreciation from the-“boys". a beautiful Knights Templar jeweled charm. The boys also enjoyed a smoker and refreshments. The party closed at about 11 o’clock. Mr. Smith bade farewell to all his friends, shaking hands with the many men with whom he has been ac­ quainted during his nineteen years in Hillsdale. . ' S. S.

Norton, second son of Reuben and Sarah Jane Norton, was born In Porter, Oxford county, Maine, May 4th, 1848, and died at Battle Creek, September 17, 1924, aged 76 years, 4 months and 13 days. He came to Michigan with his par­ ents when about 5 years of age. They settled in Assyria township, later moving to the farm in Maple Grove, located 1 mile south of Maple Grove Center, where he grew to manhood. He was married October 13, 1871, to Marcia Fox. To this union nine sons were born, one dying in infan­ cy. His wife preceded him to the Great Beyond six years ago. He leaves 8 sons, 22 grandchildren, two brothers, Wilbert of Hastings, Nebraska, and Charles of Nashville, of the immediate family. He was converted about 30 years ago and was faithful to his God until He gave the call, “Come up higher.” Funeral services were held at the Wilcox church Friday, September 19, at 2 o’clock. Rev. F.

Twelve years later he had gone into ’’uroseee." Never a burglar brought his booty to Israel Meyers to be melted up past Identification. Israel was honest. That an answer to this question, and that chap is Shirley Brumm, who was graduated from the Nashville schools last year and Is now. starting in at M. A. C. That "Shlrlie-girlie" name has been an awful trial to that chap, and is yet in some ways, in other ways, it may be all right. For one thing it has already won for him a "blg-slster,’’ something probably no other boy In his class at M. A. C. will have. A sophomore girl wrote him last week, calling him "My Dear Shirlie.’’ telling Shirley how glad she wa<i that *i«he’’ had decided to attend M. A. C.» and that she had been appointed "her big sister" to help her get started right and to help make things pleasant for her. That sounded all right to Shirley and he promptly replied accepting the "sis­ terhood’’ and all that goes with it. So In some ways, it Is easy to see, the glrlio name isn’t all to the bad, but we can’t find that It embraces the sort of privileges that the Western state normal at Kalamazoo offered him. A recent letter, from that in­ situation. among other allurements, promised Shirley a good place in one of the girl’s dormitories if he would attend that institution, but after talking it over with the family it was decided that It would perhaps be bet­ ter for Shirley to accept the "big sis­ ter" proposition and hit it out for M. A. C., and that’s what he did. We haven’t heard yet just how he and his "big sister" hit it off, but we’ll venture the assertion that they will at least get acquainted.

SMITH, Clerk PUNSTERS had called Brainerd the brains of the campaign against Saul Jones,.the boss of Lawrencetown. His cartoons created a nation-wide sensation, and did much to turn the tide of public opinion against the man who had long been supreme in the city. Tiie one which made the sensa­ tion of the week depicted Jones in con­ vict garlr, ascending the wall of a building marked "Public Efficiency." And Jones won the election. Four weeks before it occurred Brainerd soemed to lose his grip. True, he drew cartoons as of yore; but they were mild and mllk-like In comparslon with his vitriolic contributions to the Eagle during preceding issues. The word went round that Brainerd had been "fixed.” He lost his port, of course,’ and no other newspaper would employ him. I happen to know what occurred, be­ cause Brainerd told me when he came to ask a loon of $200 to take him to New York. Brainerd was heart and soul In his work. He was all for reform and go<x! government He went home to sleep, after planning a new cartoon that would putoerize all that remained of Jones. He got a telephone message in the morning. "This Is Saul Jones, Mr. Brainerd,” said the voice. *T want to aee yon very much. Can you come to my house before going on to your office?" Brainerd was surprised at the quiet, ladylike woman who came In as he waited in the library and announced herself as Mrs. Jones. “My husband will be down in a minute," she said. “I know who you are, Mr. Brainerd, and you cuu't ex­ pect me to feel very kindly toward you." With that she flounced out of the room, If such an expression can be applied to the angry swish of an angry woman's gown. "Hiding behind a woman's skirt." he said to himself. “Won’t I trounce him tomorrow I" Then Jones came in nt the door. Brainerd had seen the boss at a dis­ tance. "You are Mr. Brainerd?" inquired the boss. "Sit down. I have asked you to come here with reference to your cartoon in yesterday’s Eagle." •’Yes," answered Brainerd, thinking that his fun was just going to begin. "How much?” inquired Saul Jones, sinking into a chair and resting his chia on one hand. Brainerd rose up. "I was expecting that question. Mr. Jones," he answered. “I take it that you are offering me a sum of money to cease cartooning you. Let me tell you that I am not to be bought, sir, for all the money In Lawrencetown." As Brainerd was going toward the door the boss sprang frnm his chair and caught him by the arm. ’Tm not asking you to stop attack­ ing me,” he said huskily. "Ah* you young men!” he resumed. “It Is so easy to crush your enemy. Isn’t It? But when you have lived as long as I have you will have come to see that magnanimity pays^ “You saw mv wife?

It does not say rm fined to individuals. tax commission of the necessity of an amendment; it is another thing to convince a majority of all the voters of the state. Not More Taxes, But More Economy Needed Those who prepared the amendment and got the necessary signatures to launch it, speak vaguely of "big business," when endeavoring to justify it, of the difficulty experienced at one or two sessions of the legislature, in getting an income tax adooted against its influence. Perhaps if they had shown fa tlxaf con­ nection some acquaintance with the experience of other states having state income tax taws, if they had proposed an income tax fair to all concerned, less extreme in its exemptions, in its rates, and fa its features of double taxation, less injurious to the state —perhaps if they had taken care to show do selfishness in their aims, and had been more attentive to those things which preserve the prosperity of the state,— they might n<X have been defeated in their efforts be­ fore the legislature. They arc now proposing to take a short cut, to get the necessary votes in November by an appeal to selfishness and cupidity. Amendments to the constitution, history shows, have had results quitrf unexpected by their promoters. It is not more tax nx>oey that Michigan wants, but more economy in expenditure. An Appeal to Class Prejudice 3. The proposed otnendment is an appeal to selfish­ ness and cupidity. All whose income is less than $4,000 are exempted. The idea is that all such per­ sons will vote for the proposed amendment, in the belief that they are potting taxes on others and there­ by benefitting themselves Perhaps that idea is cor­ rect ; but no one who studies the proposition, believes than $4,000, many who know what is unfair or un­ wise ; who see beyond their noses: who know that all that glitters is Dot gold; who do some thinking be­ fore they vote; who know that the consumer of all manufactured articles and all agricultural products pays all taxes that enter into the cost ui production of such articles; who will think that a new tax of 10% oa all those engaged in selling clothing, groceries, houses, household necessities, etc., will be passed on buyers. No farmer, for example, thinks that if UKaKJi v interest than hereto! Stata It will be handicapped. Does □e believe the farmer or the be affected unfavorably by this? (c) The State has received large sums ; lieu of personal property taxes, on mortgages of the taw. Millions of dollars of mortgages and bonds have paid this substitute for a personal tax upon them. Docs any honest man believe it fair for the State to inchide this proposed income tax co the income from such mortgages and bonds? That would be dlsbooest on the part of the States buj th^je is nothing on this subject in the proposed amendment such income. (d) The income of residents of Michigan from dividends M Mkhfaa.fi Corporations, are to be con­ sidered similarly. Under the working of the pro­ posed amendment, such dividends will be taxed the same as any other income. The corporation has to pay all Michigan taxes against corporations before it can declare dividends. Drvidends are paid out of the Thia is the Proposed Amendment Beetton A The legislature shall provide by taw a uniform rule of taxation, except on property paying specific taxee, and taxes shall be levied on property as shall bo proscribed by law. (To this point the provision is old. From here on. it Is new). The legislature shall provide by taw a echssne of Saxos upon tho net gains, profits and incomes of all citieens and inhabitants of this state, from whatever wbleb tax follows: Dem tull b« taxed at the rats of B per centum. All Incomes above £30,000 up So and Including 10.000. shall bo taxed at the rate of fi per centum. 880.000, sbalibe taxed a^ the r*te at and fahabi* (that it fa charitable cor­ composed the chosen representatives of the people for most ■poet*, cannot interpret the constitution, If within all Michigan corporations must pay this tax in ducticQ of the federal tax. On the other hand, h ta said by some that corpora* dons are Dot covered by this amendment If so, the effect of it is different; but it is still bad enough. Do you want the corporations exempted from such a tax? That is possible under this amendment (b) A non^reeideni corporation doing business in Michigan would dearly not be subject, to the proposed tax, .even though continuing to do business in Mich­ igan. It is clearly an ’’inhabitant’* of the State fa the former? Would Cripple Michigan Industries 10. (a) It wSJ be a for/ to Michigan, industrially and otherwise. Why should an industry be established to Michigan if hs tax law against corporations or their resident stockholders is unfavorable, when other states impose do such tax? For the same reasons, why should an industry already located in Michigan stay here? There arc many states which do not so tax. They are bidding for industries. 10% is a severe tax. It will often result in inability to pay dividends, the mainstay of all industries. The dividends when declared will immediately be taxable specially as in­ come and thereby be substantially reduced. The pro­ posed amendment would make no difference in respect of dividends, for example, which are only 2% of in­ vested capital and those which are 40% thereof. That is not the way to get capital for new or old Indus­ tries in Michigan. It would often cripple Michigan industries, by preventing their meeting competition in other states that treat their industries more favor- centum. Wber. do incomes bekxw $4,000 originate? Do not many depend on thriving Michigan industries? thjrit* of 10 The loeotM (b) There are thousands of individuals who now call themselves residents of Michigan, but who can just as well call themselves residents of some other Would Drive-People Out of Michigan and the source of it There are thousands of others (he effect of thia proposed amendment Their decUr - If the idea that all with incomes below $4,000 hand, it means darn against is a bad thing for the State, specially, do matter whether he owns ., nor what is the sue of his family, dot bow gutny out­ side of his immediate family be has to support, dot how far he is accustomed to contribute to churches and charitable organirationa.

NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, OCTOMBER 2, 1924 A GOOD SUGGESTION FOR HOME COMING WEEK. One of 6ur good citizens makes the suggestion that Nashville should have a “Home Coming Week’’ next June. The annual commencement week has a great attraction for many former residents, who like to come back to attend the festivities of the week, including the annual Alumni reunion, and this citisen suggests that this would be a good time to make Nashville the Mecca for all former residents, enabling them to meet not only old friends wno are still here but the friends of former years who are scattered all over the country. We believe his suggestion is a good one and one that should be a subject for discussion at the next meeting of the Nashville Community PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO STATE CONSTITUTION Study These Over and Decide How You Want to Vote on Them November 4 NUMBER 11 BOY SCOUTS GUESTS AT MICHIGAN AGGIE GAME. Michigan boy scouts were guests of the Lansing college Saturday at the first Aggie football game of the season. Northwestern college of Naperville, Illinois, furnished the opposition, and while it was a lop­ sided contest, M. A C. winning by a 59 to 0 score, the youngsters put in a very enjoyable day. The Naahville delegation Included Cliff Wil­ liams, Jack Nelson, Harold Wenger, Van Gribbin, Dick Tieche, Adolph Dause, Goodrich Wheeler, Louis Haf­ ner, Harold Woodard, Maurice Teepie, Clarence Greenfield, Rudolph Wotrlng, William Klelnhans and Floyd Castelein. The boys were taken in autos furnished by Supt. Bersette, F. K. Nelson, C. A. Lentz and John Woodard.

Wash­' tenaw and Monroe have a population, of 1,392.131 which is 88 percent of the entire population of the state, if another tier of counties border­’ ing the above five counties just' noted, is added, comprising the counties of St. Clair, Lapeer, Gene­’ see, Livingston, Jackson and Lena­' wee, we have 47% of the state's population and 60 percent of the state’s valuation of 1923. BOOK INDEPENDENCE "In contrast it is interesting to note that the original trunk line' mileage allotted to the first five; counties mentioned, by the act of 1913, was only 217.3 miles which IsJ 5 and 2-3 percent of the total trunk[ line mileage of the entire state and this is now expected to serve 38 per­J cent of .the state's population and1 nearly 50 percent of its valuation.• When one considers the facts jm>t; recited it is not strange that there’ is a real demand for the immediate Improvement of such main arteries’ of travel as the Grand River Road,' reaching from Detroit to Lausing, Wider Woodward, from Detroit to Pontiac, Great Gratiot, reaching from Detroit to Port Harnu. tho new Detroit Toledo road as well as the addition* to other important and heavily travelled intermediate high­ ways between.” Means Freedom.

Bring us your Eggs Evangelical Church Notes. Sunday is Rally Day. Let us make it a time when we truly rally our Sunday school forces. There will be a special Rally Day program during the Sunday school hour. Plan to come to the regular preaching ser­ vice, which will be especially ar­ ranged for Rally Day, and remain for the Sunday school period. Our Rally Day offering goes to Lansing Mission. ’It* should * * ‘ *be a generous one. Above all, be sure to come. F. E. Putnam, pastor. Methodist Church Items. People get into ruts as well as au­ tomobiles. The only sure way of getting out is to resort to the hand­ spike or lever method. Rally Day for our churches and Sunday schools is regarded as a good handspike to lift us out of any ruts we may be in, so that we can get a new, fresh start. Nehemlah did things with un­ usual speed and pep when he rebuilt Jerusalem, so much that his success excites our curiosity to investigate. We will try to-set forth some of the results of this investigation next Sunday morning. At the Sunday school hour, the Junior church will exhibit in dra­ matic form some of ..the work they <ln have been doing. Also, ___ hear about the great speeches of the Junior Laymen's conference told by our local delegate. At the six o'clock hour, thd young people will reorganize and begin their work in religious education. At the seven o'clock hour we will take a look at Elijah sitting under the juni­ per tree, thinking of course, of some modern Elijah's that might be there too. Everybody goes to the church of their choice on Rally Day. G. A. Osborne, minister.

East Lansing, Oct. 1.—Announce­ ment that the Michigan State Potato show, held a year ago In Grand Rap­ ids, will be staged at East Lansing during the annual Farmers’ Week at M. A. C., February 2 to 6, this year, has just been made by H. C. Moore, secretary of the state Potato Pro­ ducers Association and extension specialist at the college. A long list of prizes Is being of­ fered for the show, which will be ex­ pected to break all Michigan rec­ ords tor number of entries and Qual­ ity of product shown. Potatoes for exhibits should be selected at digging time, according to Moore, who has issued, instruc­ tions for preparing exhibits along with his announcement of the show. “Select potatoes for exhibits at digging time, doing the work on a clear, cool day when the soil Is com­ paratively dry”, says Mr. Moore, in discussing the selection of show stock. .“Show potatoes should not be harvested until they are well ma­ tured. “Dig the potatoes by hand, tak­ ing care not to bruise or break the skins. The potatoes should be true to type, smooth, bright in color, and should average seven to nine ounces each, for early varieties such a* Ear­ ly Ohio and Irish Cobblers, or eight to ten ounces each for late varletlea such as Russett, Rural, White Rural and Green Mountain. Remember that uniformity tn else, shape and color are very Important.” John 8. Bummer, th© capable- su­ perintendent of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, said In New York the other day: “The authors of erotic books and plays always claim that their work has a moral Influence, that It makes for reform. “These men remind me of a pic­ ture in an exhibition.

Some folks visit the city then come back home sore because their home town has no such great stores and build­ ings and other metropolitan develop­ ments. Cities and towns, however, like people, are most lovable when they develop along lines of their own personality, rather than by aping others.

GAS TAX FRJEN.DS ARE RE­ NOMINATED IX)R LEGISLATURE With Old Supporters and New Mem­ bers Favorable, Gas Tax is In­ evitable. ■11 Republicans and 15 Senators Who Voted for Gas Tax are Primary., * Victors. Enemies of the gas tax are attemp­ ting to make great capital out of the fact that a few of those who voted for the gasoline tax at the 1923 session of the legislature, failed to be renominated at tho recent primaries. They are attempting to convince the public of the fact that these few exceptional cases are indications that the sentiment in Michigan has changed on this great issue of re­ form in the matter of financing our highway construction and main­ tenance. Since the facts in the case are so ♦very opposite to what these gas tax foes are attempting to prove, t is very interesting to get a bird’seye view of the results ot the prim­ aries all over the state, in order to seo what the feeling really is toward those men who championed the gas tax in tho 1923 session. Here aro the facts: Out of the 80 members of the 1923 House of Representatives, who voted for the gas tax. 41 were renominated at the primaries this year. A largo proportion of the balance were not candidates for re-election. Of the 18 Representatives who opposed tho gas tax. only 5 were renominated this fall. If these former members who have been renominated are all re­ elected, which in most cases will be true, there will be in the 1925 legis­ lature 41 Representatives who voted for the gas tax last year and only 5 who voted gainst 1L Gas Tax Senators Returned Quit Claim Deeds.

The American Council of Agricul­ ture has prepared a leaflet pointing out the Inequality that has been im­ posed on American agriculture through legislative enactments favor­ ing other lines, and is calling upon farmers and their iriends to help remedy It. The Council was created at* the conference of national and state agricultural organizations in July at St. Paul, Minnesota. Its first undertaking Is that of con­ tinuing the campaign which was waged before the last session of Congress to secure for agriculture the same benefits of the American principle of protection that has been extended to Ameiican industry and labor. Candidates for election to Congress are being asked to pledge themselves to ."vote for and actively support legislation that will give American agricultural equality with American industry aud labor.” The circular, being distributed by the Council urges that "Men and women alike should actively support candi­ dates. regardless of their party af­ filiation, who do so commit them­ selves and should defeat those who do not.” The leaflet contains the principal points of two addresses on the agri­ cultural situation. One, by F. W. Murphy, lawyer and farmer of Wheaton, Minn., was the key-nota ad­ dress of the St. Paul farm confer­ ence. The other was given by Geo. N. Peek, president of the Council, at the Iowa State Fair. These point out what the Council believes must be done before American agriculture can stand upon a sound foundation. Two maps are used in the leaflet with very graphic effect. One shows how members of the House of Representatives voted on the McNaryHaugen farm relief* bill, while the other shows the vote on the tariff bill of 1922. On the latter, agricul­ ture is shown Yq have stood by the industrial east, but the east failed to stand by agriculture on the farm relief measure. The News is Informed that copies of the leaflet can be secured from farm organization secretaries, or from the beadquarters of the Amer­ ican Council of Agriculture, the ad­ dress of which is 608 South Dear­ born street, Chicago, Illinois Rob.

To the Voters of Barry County: I am a candidate on the Demo­ cratic ticket for a second term as prosecuting attorney of Barry coun­ ty. I have tried my very best during the past two years to so conduct the office that evil-doers might be prop­ erly punished, and to see that ac­ cused persons should have a square deal. I believe the county prosecu­ tor should be just as careful to see that the Innocent are shielded as tc see that the guilty are convicted. I think it is the business of the prose­ cuting attorney to serve all of the people of the county to the best of his ability, without making unneces­ sary expenditures of the public mon­ ey. If my course of conduct of the office for the past two years has met with your approval. I respectfully request your support at the flection November 4.

An effort is being made to get the state to make a trunk line of the angling road, or better known as the old Clinton trail, from' Jackson through to connect with M-39. At present the road is improved from Jackson through to a' few miles northwest of Charlotte and by im­ proving a few more miles would connect with M-39 at the Nead schoolhouse three miles west of Sun­ field village. It Is pointed out that this would also connect up with M-43 at Woodbury. Another scheme is to get the road built through to WiU Frants's corners and then come di­ rectly north into Sunfield, connect­ ing with M-39 and also with the new road running north from Sunfield and connecting with M-16. Pro­ moters of the scheme say that it would cut off 13 or 14 miles between Jackson and Grand Rapids.—Sun­ field Sentinel. Mrs. E. L.

Taken From The News of Fri­ day, October 18, 1899. An important business change oc­ curs this week In the medical pro­ fession. of our village. Dr. L. F. Weaver, who, for the twelve years past has carried on . an estremsly successful medical and surgical prac­ tice in this village and surrounding country, has sold out his property to Dr. John I. Baker of Climax, Kala­ mazoo county, Mich., and will soon retire from his practice in favor ot the latter gentleman. Dr. Weaver expect to soon locate In Detroit, where he will bo connected with Har­ per hospital for at least one year, pursuing special work in surgical practice.

It broke and fell across (Bacon’s, block and smashed thes beet Iron chim­ ney and shook the block up general­ ly, the top striking Dr. Youngs' of­ fice, and broke his telephone wire. No one was Injured, but one or two parties that stood near acted as though their time had come. When the N. C. B. started for Kalamo Tuesday, as they turned the cor­ ner to leave Main street, R. Mayo, the bass drummer, who was sitting in the back part of the wagon with bls drum, lost his balance and fell out. Mr. Mayo was not hurt, but the drum was slightly demoralized. The ca­ tastrophe caused quite an* excitement and a crowd soon’gathered. San Truman ran out to. see what the trouble was and was badly bitten in the calf of the leg by a dog. owned by Mr. Keyes, and aa a result San has been confined to the house ever since. Ed.

Nowack) Lansing, Mich., Oct. 7—The aver­ Age date of the last killing frost in spring in upper Michigan is given as June 8 while the average date of the first killing frost Is given as Aug­ ust 26. Those dates apply to the weather bureau station at Humboldt, In the upper peninsula. In the low­ er peninsula the bureau readings at Kalamazoo give the average date of the last killing frost as of April 80 and the first killing frost in fall as October 19. The average number of growing days in the upper penin­ sula region covered by the Humboldt station Is placed at 79 while for the Kalamazoo station it is 172 days. As a stimulus to Increasing tourist traffic in Michigan the 1925 leg­ islature will be asked to make an appropriation of >100,000 which Is to be matched, dollar for dollar, by the three tourist bureaus in the state. With this fund of >200,000 a national advertising campaign is to be conducted In which Michigan’s "Last frontier," the great north­ land, and the state’s remarkable hunting and fishing and other re­ creational resources, will be gener­ ously placed before the public. That queer class of folks In Mich­ igan—known as the rags, bones, and old iron man— reaped a harvest last year that ran Into the millions, according to the figures just given out by the U. S. Department of the Interior. Secondary old metals collected by those men—which means copper, lead, xlnc, tin, antim­ ony, aluminum and nickel, together with brass and other alloys—amount­ ed to about 180,000 tons and had a value of more than 840,000,000. The old copper kettles, and xlnc washboards, and other things that go to the dump are rescued by these queer folk and sold. Last year’s business showed a large Increase over 1922. after ths U. 8. Weather Bureau de­ termined our climate was good for production of that crop. The growth of mint In Michigan on the muck of lands of the south­ western part of the state Is quits as old aa the state Itself. Mint also will.grow well and produce a large oil yield In the Lake Superior region. The greater portion of the mint ralssd in this country is produced. here. excellent celery is duced on a small scale near A movement is on foot In Mich­ igan sporting circles to substitute a barbless hook for fishermen and the greatest protest comes from tha makers of these hooks who claim they have millions on hand and would suffer a great financial loss. A. T. Stewart, superintendent of Michigan Fisheries, claims that 78 percent of hooked fish die. He be­ lieves a lower mortality would result If fishermen used barbless hooka. The state can be conxpelled to dispose of land that has reverted to the commonwealth for nonpay­ ment of taxes. There are sixteen counties in the Northeastern Michigan Dovelopment Bureau, who pool their Interests for better agricultural progress. The Western Michigan Development Bu­ reau had 20 counties In its organiza­ tion, but its work now Is principally done by the Resort Bureau of the same name. Next year probably will see state park attendants in uniforms and their authority extended to Include that of deputy sheriff’s. They now have the authority of game wax dens. Marius Hansen, Grayling, has filed a claim of >533.65 with the state for payment due a bondsman who paid a judgment almost 10 years ago when a team ot horses, confiscated by a game warden, burn­ ed to death In a fire and judgment was secured against the bondsman for the value of the team. The Department of Conservation has the authority to sell all down and dead timber on state lands.

They al­ ways cite some previous case where a like offender has been given "free­ dom" by probation. They likewise, expect the same leniency", he said. It is evident from what the jurist says that probation sentences in the future will be few. The judge will have to have exceptionally good rea­ sons for admitting an offender — • - to probation, even should it be a first offense. In the interview the___ judge .. stated that it was time for the parents of the young folks to wake up, as the pace they weru setting would in time mean trouble and disgrace. ‘ In the past 10 days in Montcalm county. Judge Hawley disposed of 20 criminal cases on pleas of guilty. Eight were for violation of the liq­ uor laws and twelve for burglary. All were- given prison terms. On Monday afternoon in the Ionia court, three young men between the ages of 16 and 20 were given heavy sentences. One for 7 1-2 to 15 years, with a recommendation of 10 years, at Jackson prison; one from one to five years; recommendation of one year, at the Michigan reform­ atory, and another from three to ten years at the Michigan reformatory, with the recommendation of three years. Judge Hawley is gaining a reputa­ tion in Michigtn as a fearless, stringent and impartial law enforcer. —Ionia County News. "Probation doesn’t seem to have any effect on the nfhsses," said Judge Royal A. Hawley of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, consisting of Ionia and Montcalm counties, in an Inter­ view granted the city editor of the Ionia County News last week, who sought information relative to the drastic action pursued in the past few weeks of Imposing heavy pris­ on sentences on offenders in the two courts. • "The exemplary element of the law is largely, if not entirely elimi­ nated in its effects on the masses and It has a tendency to encourage, rather than discourage the criminal­ ly inclined," said the Jurist in speak­ ing of probation measures on the people at large. “Occasionally it has the right in­ fluence on an Individual, but in near­ ly every instance tends to serve in the wrong direction on the mass." Judge Hawley flays the probation system of the court as detrimental to the youth of today. Because one young man or woman commits a wrong, is haled into court, lei off on probation, others get the idea they can do the same thing and get away with it. Probation doesn't seem to mean anything to a young person nowadays,” stated the judge. "In the past six months,*’ says Judge Hawley, "In the court of Montcalm county, 40 offenders be­ Why He !• a Fool tween the ages of 16 and 22 years The fool doth think he Is wise.have been haled into court for one offense or another.

A right-minded person, Robert Earle could scarcely realise the attitude of this conscienceless relative. Forging bls jmme, assuming his Identity—for they were marvelously alike in form and feature—Ernest Earle bad man­ aged to draw from a bank the-sum of four hundred dollars. It represented over one-balf that bls cousin had in the way of capital. "Seo here, Robert," he said bluntly. “Give me fifty dollars and I'll go. West and relieve you of your constant dread that I will cut up some caper that may disgrace the proud name of that old curmudgeon uncle of ours, Jerome Earle.” “Again, shame on your manhood!" cried Robert '“You shall have the money you ask for, but it Is the last you will ever receive from me until ( see you acting the man." Then Robert seriously contemplated bls immediate future. He established himself in the thriving county seat of Tipton. He found comfortable quar­ ters at the one hotel the place af­ forded. Some practice camq to him. He made some speeches during a po­ litical campaign, and. best of all, met and loved Ada Mills, the favorite daughter of wealthy Judge Mills. No word had come from Ernest Earle and Robert was glad he had not found him out Robert wca gaining ground fast and securely. His uncle abroad bad beard of his establishing in the legal profession and bad Insisted on bls ac­ cepting a check for a thousand dol­ lars, “as surplus capital for exigen­ cies," as the old man phrased It It was the great glorious hour of his life when Robert bade Ada adieu one lovely June night He had told his love to find It devotedly returned. So happy was he that when he re­ turned to his hotel he could not sleep. He. put on a light overcoat and strolled to the wooded outskirts of the pretty town, communing with nature, A surprise, a shock, a crisis in his life greeted him as he entered the lobby of the hotel to find It a scene of tumultuous excitement The police were there surrounding an agitated _ loud talking stranger, who as Robert entered was explaining that some one had rifled his room an hour previous. “Why, there is the thief!” he shout­ ed suddenly, pointing at Robert Investigation brought out a new cir­ cumstance. The door connecting the room of Robert and that occupied by the man who bad been robbed was found unlocked. Slowly distrust began to attach to the young lawyer. The cowardly onas Ignored and shunned him. Judge Mills forbade an engagement with his daughter and Insisted that Robert should not visit Ada until his name w£s cleared. So, weary weeks went on and Rob­ ert became well nigh disheartened. His former popularity was on the wane, bls clients fell away from him. Only that loyal Ada wrote 1.1m of her undying love and faith be would have left the town. He had been engaged as associate counsel in a danage^xult where a sail­ road passenger bad received an In­ jury in a collision in another part of the county. Among the witneeoee summoned was a surgeon' from a neighboring town. When this person arrived at the court room he sought out Robert. It was to regard him in open-eyed be­ wilderment. "Why,’’ he exclaimed, "you have re­ •1 do not understand you." said Rob- “Were you not in the hospital at Wayne two months since, suffering from a terrible fall from a motor cycle?" There were cross questions and many explanations and then the light came. At Wayne this same surgeon had been summoned to assist In a case where the victim of an accident lay delirious with broken bones, crip­ pled for life. ”1 see it ail,” murmured the aston­ ished Robert. "It was my cousin who robbed the man at the hoteL” \ The next day Robert'visited Wayne. He found his cousin just able to get about on crutches. Ernest Earle, broken in health and spirits, handed to Robert What was left of the stolen money. The regretful tears in his eyes showed his contrition. Two days later Robert received a note from Judge Mills asking him to call upon him. Ernest Earle had writ- Robert would have shielded his mis­ guided relative, but the Judge Insisted on clearing up the case in the eyes of the public. Robert wrote to his unde all the drcumstsnces of the situation and Ernest Earle was placed in comfort with a distant relative. There was a wedding a year fol­ lowing. The fair bride was Ada, the groom Robert He was the Hon. Rob­ ert Earle now. Hie public had made amends for their temporary disloyalty district Life From The Side Lines By Fike Years ago there was a mis-, cbievous youngster around town who gradually grew up, though not so very far pp, at that, and as he grew up, in some school-boy prank, he gained the nickname of "Smut" Ainsworth. He visit­ ed Nashville Tuesday with the Grand Rapids wholesalers. He is now Arthur S. Ains­ worth, head of the Bennett Fuel company, one of the solid and substantial institu­ tions of the Valley City. Another visitor was "Red" Clifford, who got his start Id Nashville by tooting a horn in the band, and that’s Just what he was doing Tuesday, in the famous Furniture City band. ‘•Red’’, which is the only name he will ever go. by in Nashville, is a barber by trade and is lo­ cated in the Morton House shop at Grand Rapids. Queer how some fellows get by with murder while others just-can’t seem to wiggle a finger. There’s that Jim Haskins, who runs the Rec­ ord up at Howard City. running sort o’ short on socks and with fall coming on he got quite worried about it, so much so that he put a wail in his column Ju the ____ paper about It. And Just as another evidence that It pays to advertise, the next day Jim got two lovely pairs of new socks, one from each of two of his friends. Now he struts around like Grandma Doodenflicker with her hair bobbed. He felt so much encouraged that he put up another wall about being short of "heav­ ies’’, but up to date he lias had no contributions. And the chances are Jim . ill have to loosen up or wear the ol’ shorts all through the winter. We'd be afraid to start a sob story like that around these diggings; we’re afraid about the only response would tie from one of the village undertakers, and they would­ n't be welcome awhile yet. that.

Not only that, but he told us right where doesn’t know how many times we have raided it since. Hotel man over at Chicago has written us a very confidential letter of inquiry in regard to Vic Furnlss. Can’t tell you all about it, but there was something about a very myster­ ious night robe of the feminine per­ suasion, all dolled up with lace and ribbons, which Vic found amongst his belongings in his travelling bag, and which he couldn’t seem to ac­ count for. We haven't seen Vic yet since he got home to get all the par­ ticulars about It, but we presume he'll tell you if you ask him. Remember John Wotring, who us­ ed to ramble around north of town when he was a boy? Yeah, son of J. L. Wotring and brother of H. D., that’s the feller. Got his name in all the papers the other day. Seems John, who now lives out at Warland, Montana, was out in his car, visiting some of his firm’s lumber camps, and while running at a fair rate of speed around a curve in a woods road he came suddenly upon a large buck deer. Instantly the buck lowered his head and charged the onrushing auto, and they came together with such a crash that the buck lost his horns and the auto lost a fender. A clipping which has Just been receiv­ ed here by H.

Real, honest-to-goodness BOOSTING means that every citizen of Nashville must carry out the following principles every day he lives here. Assume his share of civic responsibilities and contribute ' his moral and material support to any movement toward good government An efficient yet human civic administration is the backbone of a prosperous town. <| 2 Do his part in getting and keeping good churches and ’ schools, for these institutions are the builders of pro­ gress for the coming generation. g Patronize home merchants and professional men, for ' they are mainly responsible for the comforts, pleasures and opportunities that this community affords to its citizens. y| Contribute his every effort toward keeping our streets * and yards clean and attractive. An attractive town is good business, for a healthy atmosphere is one of the first requi­ sites for drawing new citizens of the right sort g Be generous in thought, word and deed to his neighbors * and fellow citizens. Most of the happiness in Life is gotten by doing for others and entering into the spirit of co­ operation. Every loyal citizen of Nashville is urged to become an active, working partner with us—let’s do some REAL boosting for our town by MAKING IT BETTER IN EVERY WAY. Kim TABLE OO.

Nowiek) Lansing, Mich., Oct 14—County treasurers of Michigan are to be asked by the Department of Con­ servation to deputize game wardens in their respective territories for the purpose of safeguarding state owned timber lands. Game wardens now have no authority to halt such trespassing when they find It until’ much red tape has been unwound. County treasurers, who have the “ authority, have no means to _ force their demands until red tape Is unwound. Game wardens, on patrol duty, find many places where State owned land is being robbed of its standing timber. When the proposed step is taken Game war­ dens, as deputy county treasurers, can demand to see tax receipts on land from which timber is being re­ moved. If there are no. receipts forthcoming someone is sure to ba in bad. It is interesting to note that for­ est, brush and . swamp fires discov­ ered . by fire wardens using forest fire towers in Michigan burned over an average acreage of about two acres while such fires that were not discovered through use of fire towers burned over an average area of 67 acres. These figures are given out by the Department of Conservation as an argument in favor of increas­ ing the 95 forest fire towers now serving Michigan's danger zone. By MILDRED GOODRIDGE H, MAN! Do you want to do some work?" It was little Flo Duncombe, a pretty O young man passing the garden she stood with her sister, Iola. "Work, little one?" smiled the stran­ ger, pausing and, at one glance at the Lovely face of Iola, becoming Interest­ ed. "I am always glad to work. What is itr "Rose leaves and down I" chattered Flo, excitedly, important and eager. “I fear my little sister has been presumptuous,” spoke Miss Duncombe. “I—I needed some assistance." “Anu I am glad of an offer of work," declared the young man promptly. He carried a portfolio under one arm. “The work is lees arduous than tedi­ ous and painstaking," she said, and she led the way towards an ornate summer bouse. Ah she neared its door the young man instantly understood the allusion of little Flo to rose ledves and feathers. To every projection attached particles of soft, filmy down. Iola said: "Some one opened the windows where I bad been working last night, a strong wind came up and you see the result The rose leaves were sent me by a friend from Califor­ nia. I have managed to gather them up, for they were blown off the table in a heap, but the - down —-I -fear it is not worth the labor gatherIng it up." “You might try; suggested _ the young man. "If you would get me a pillow-slip, or a deep basket I will see what can be done." Miss Duncombe went to the bouse and brought out three boskets. She and Flo set about the same task as this "hired help." She learned that his name was Archie Blair. It took two hours to gather up most of the scattered down. Then Iola said: "I am greatly obliged, and the com­ pensation—" “I waa jusi going to speak of that" declared Archie. "If you will allow me to sketch some of the beautiful surroundings here, with this little fairy end yourself In the picture, I will feel fully compensated."

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1924 VOLUME LU "THUTH IN MVERW ADVISES REV. HAILWOOD BAYS CONVENTION OF WORLD’S ADVERTISING CLUBS WAS OUTSTANDING GATHERING OF THE YEAR. October Meeting of Nashville Com­ munity Club Intensely Interest­ ing from Every Angie. Proclaiming that "Vision” was one of the greatest things in the life of any man, Rev. James W. Hallwood, pastor of the Plymouth Congrega­ tional church, of Grand Rapids, made one of the finest talks that the Nash­ ville Community club has been priv­ ileged to hear since the Inception of the organization. Mr. Hailwood is a "reformed" Englishman, now an American citizen and proud of it, and one of the brightest and most interesting speakers of the state. His talk sparkled with scintillating humor which served to drive home his point that vision—the power to see beyond the nose, to appreciate the things in life that make us broad­ er and better men, to think clearly and cleanly. He characterized the annual meeting of the Associated Ad­ vertising Clubs of the world, held re­ cently at Paris, France, as the out­ standing convention of the year be­ cause of the adoption of the slogan "Truth in Advertising” as a world wide recognition of advancing Ideals in business. His talk was listened to with narked attention and appre­ ciation of it was shown by a rising vote of thanks at the close. Another pleasing feature of the evening was q solo by Nashville’s ris­ ing young musical star, Misa, Irene Zemer, accompanied at the piano by Miss Mildred Andrews. She gener­ ously responded to a hearty'encore, and will certainly be in demand at future meetings of the club. An excellent supper, followed by community singing, were other fea­ tures of the evening, which passed so joyously that the members of the club will anxiously await the next meet­ ing, to be held Monday ev'jnlng, No­ vember 17th. SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS PARTY. The D. S. S. S. class met with Mrs. C. A. Hough Friday afternoon. Seven­ . teen members and three guests were present. Mrs. Addie Smith lead the devotionals, after which there was a short business session. Reports given of calls made on the sick. Of­ ficers were elected for the coming year. Mrs. Parks, president, Mrs. Olmstead, vice president, Mrs. Pen­ nock, secretary, Mrs. Liebhauser. teacher and Mrs. Carpenter, assist­ ant teacher. After an hour's sewing six mem­ bers took part in a debate, "Re­ solved that parents should be as careful to see that their children are in Sunday school as in the public school.” After a very spirited debate the judges, who were the guests, Mrs. Parish, Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Calkins, rendered the decision in fa­ vor of the affirmative. Refreshments were served. Mrs. Winans made the birthday cake for Mrs. Carpenter, whose birthday anni­ versary we celebrated. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Arthur HUI, Nov. 21. Y. M. C. A. ITEMS.

HUNTING REASON BRINGS CROP OF LAW VIOLATORS Deputy Game Wardens Millenbacher and Bera have put in a busy week since the opening of the hunt­ ing season on October 15th, keeping tab on the small army of hunters that have been patrolling the woods and fields, and several hunters have been brought Into court for Illegal acts. Some of the misdeeds showed plainly a lack of respect for the game laws but other were probably com­ mitted through ignorance, which however is no excuse. One of the laws commonly violated and one with which every hunter should be famil­ iar is the federal law protecting?®!! migratory birds with the exception of the game fowls on which open seasons are specified. On Oct. 15th the wardens caught Menzo W. Butler of York State, Her­ bert A. Thomson of Grand Rapids and Forrest J. Buehler of Freeport hunting without a license. They plead guilty before Justice F. M. Craig at Hastings, and each paid a' fine of 310.00 and 35.05. Dan Yarger of Grand Rapids was arrested on the opening day for kill­ best available material will be_sent. ing a gray squirrel.

The first parent-teacher's meeting was held last Friday evening at the schoolhouse. Mrs. Rupe, Mrs. Steele and Mrs. Dillenbeck had charge of the program and rupper. A good time is reported by all there. Our new stage is completed. Now the teacher, at least, can move about it with ease. Mrs. John Rupe was our only vis­ itor this month. The school house is all decorated for Halloween. Cats, witches, owls, and pumpkins make the windows look rather "spooky.” We are looking forward to the box social on the night of Wednesday, October 29, at the schoolhouse. We are going to have a new clock, win­ dow shades and some new curtain rods. We hope everyone supports it. Our new curtains, made by Mrs. Early, look very much better than the other ones did. We are all enjoying the new door. It opens very nicely, except when * the teacher forgets the key. The first grade began its primer last week. It is great fun to study our lessons now. The second grade language class has been studying the tooth. We have learned to sing a song about our "grinder men.” Tests this week. In a recent geography test given to the sixth and seventh grades, there were three perfect papers. The fourth grade began their new arithmetic books last week. There will be ?.o school October 30-31, on account of the Institute. The eighth grade civics class is studying the executive department of Michigan. We find it hard to re­ member all of the boards appointed by the governor. The second grade is having a con­ test in reading. At present, John Phillips and Doris Dull are tied for first place, while Barbara Jones is close behind. We wonder who is goWe played the Hager School last Friday and beat them 22 to 2. They should be complimented on being such g>od sports for they were just as good losers as we were winners. The new books are being, enjoyed by all. Our "Real Mother Goose” is a favorite with the smaller grades, while "Grimm's Fairy Tales” and "Arabian Nights” please the older grades. The teacher has Just finished read­ ing "Freckles” to us. Next she is going to read the "Little Lame Prince.” We are going to give a short pro­ gram at the box social, October 29. The fifth grade has just finished reading the stories of Robinhood. We surely enjoyed them. The sixth grade is studying the story of Agamemnon and the battle of Troy. The seventh grade has begun Rs new arithmetic. We spent the first six weeks in review. What the fourth grade would like to know is "Why should we study geography?” All of the geography classes have been enjoying map drawing. Don't forget to visit the school. C. Gladys Miller, teacher.

Mich., Oct. 23.—With the millions of dollars invested to­ day in the sugar beet Industry It is interesting to note that ag^cultural history In Michigan records that the legislature in 1881 tried to stimu­ late the home production of sugar through offering a bounty, but eff­ orts to obtain crystalline sugar from the syrup of sorghum molasses was being produced at that time in Michigan. Department of Agriculture es­ timates place the horso population of Michigan at around the 700,000 mark.. This state leads the union In the number of pure bred register­ ed stallions. Horses are reported to have been Introduced into Mich­ igan by the early French, and were described as hardy, strong, of a quiet disposition and some of them quite speedy. An amalgamation of this typo with early Amerlcan-breeds Is said to have occurred. These early American horses were of mod­ erate size (15 to 16 hands high) weighing 1,000 to 1,200 pounds. English ' thoroughbred stallions crossed with native mares improved the strain and provided the carriage and driving horses of later days. About 1854 the Morgan and Black Hawk horses are said to have been introduced from New England along with the Hamiltonian and other trotting blood. About this period draught horse breeds entered the state, Then camo percherons from France, English Clydes and other types. By 1892 Belgians also were In evidence. Cleveland Bays and French coach horses had then arri­ ved. Persons who 15 or more years ago gave to the state great tracts of sec­ ond growth timber land for military and forest reserves ’cannot now re­ ceive any departmental permission to lumber off the merchantable timber on such lands, the attorney general rules. Only by special act of the legislature can such a per­ mission be granted. The question came up when Rasmus Hansen, donor of the major part of the Gray­ ling Military reservation, asked extension of time to lumber off cer­ tain sections of 'the. reserve he do­ nated years ago. Mr. Hansen at that time donated 18,000 acres of land to the state for the reserve. After such donations no taxes are assessed the donor as the land be­ longs to the state. Some of the don­ ors have harvested timber on such lands ye'ars after they ceased pay­ ing taxes thereon. Days are more than 30 minutes longer in the upper peninsula of Michigan than the lower part of the southern peninsula. With the ex­ ceptions of portions of New York state, along the eastern end of Lake Erie, and in the eastern portion of the lower peninsula of Michigan, there is less sunshine along the Lake Michigan shore than in any other section of the country. Did you know that: Christmas trees, if they are permit­ ted to be sold by the state this year, will have to be tagged the same as dogs to safeguard the stand of these trees on state owned land. In other words Christmas tree cutters will have to be licensed by the State De­ partment of Conservation. Michigan now ranks second in the union in the matter of forest Are protection measures employed. Cal­ ifornia <s first but the last season's tremendous losses are expected to put California in second place and boost Michigan to first. Authorites on fish culture in Mich­ igan Inform the Department of Conservation thu quicker frye are placed in the streams after hatch­ ing the sturdier they become and the lower will be the death rate. Herman Lundeen, Lewiston,- was the first man in Michigan to build a fire tower for forest fire protection. He gave this tower to the state and also the second forest protection tower he built. His first venture was a wooden tower, the second an all steel structure. The proposed geological report under preparation on the mining industry in this state will cost 310, 000 to print. It is claimed such a report is highly essential to the iron mining Industry's future. A three day's meeting of leading conservationists in the state is plan­ ned for Lansing In December when all phases of conservation will be discussed with a view to recomend­ ing helpful legislation. The Erie duck marsh, said to be one of the finest in the world, origi­ nally was sold to private individuals by state authorities for the sickly sum of three cents an acre, accord­ ing to John Baird, Conservation Di­ rector, who bitterly opposes acqui­ sition of hunting and fishing grounds by any set of individuals. The government is anxious to ac­ quire 48,000 acres of tax reverted land In Michigan for game preserve spots. Michigan officials are willing the transfer be made providing the hunting and fishing rights on the preserves remain in the right of the people to hunt and fish in season. Government land and state owned land in Michigan is taxed five cents an acre for the purpose of highway For the first time In history clam fishermen of the Grand river hare been enjoined from fishing while one clam fisherman was arrested and con­ victed on a larceny charge following a day's clam fishing. Those enjoin­ ed were clam hunting near Plainfield. Kent county. A youthful seated himself In a den­ tist’s chair. He wore a wonderful shirt of striped silk and an even more wonderful checked suit.

It would destroy the very basis for the present Railroad Taxes, and Public Utility Taxes generally, for which the people fought for years in the days of Pingree, and enable them all to escape all taxes, ex­ cept those levied locally under the general law, until this proposed amendment, if adopted, be repealed or amended by the people, at a general election. Up to Pingree’s time the State Constitution re­ quired a uniform rule for assessing taxes, as follows: “Sec. 3. The Legislature shall provide by law a uniform rule of taxation, except on property paying sped—c taxes, and taxes ahall be levied on such property as shall be prescribed by law.” After a long fight, it was amended by adding the following clause: “Provided that th» Ughlature stall provide by law ■ uni­ form rule of taxation for such property as stall be assessed by the State Board of Assessors, and the rate of taxation on •' 'S xeuors shall ascertain and determine Is the average rata levied upon other property upon which ad valorem taxes are assessed for State, County, Township, School and Municipal That clause is there today, and has been sustained by the courts, after protracted litigation. It is the only constitutional basis for millions of dollars of rail­ road and other public utility taxes, annually, which will have no basis whatever if this proposed amend­ ment be adopted, for it puts the proposed income tax provision IN THE PLACE OF THE ABOVE PRO­ VISION, NOT BELOW IT.

Prescriptions OUR SPECIALTY NEW FIGHT LAUNCHED AGAINST PRIVATE AND CHURCH INSTITUTIONS ' CITIZENS OPPOSE AMENDMENT Declare .Attack on Private and Church Instruction Unjust and Wasteful Section 16—From and after August let, 1925, all children re­ siding In the State of Michigan, and sixteen years, shall attend a public achool until they have graduated from the eighth grade. Section 17—The legislature shall enact all necessary legisla­ tion to render said Section 16 ef­ fective. Because nearly one and one-quarter million voters of tbe state have been uked to adopt (he above proposed amendment to tbe constitution, tc abolish, by their ballots in the gen­ eral election of Nov. 4, all private and church schools, Michigan today faces one of the most Important cam­ paigns in her history. This is tbe second time the ques­ tion has arisen. A similar proposed amendment was voted down, by near­ ly two to one, in the general election of 1920. x Blow at Churches . As they were in 1920, framers of the amendment and those who seek its adoption are frank in their declar­ ation that the measure is, in reality, a blow at the church school. The op­ position to the measure is entirely a defensive campaign. Estimates made by the state De­ partment of Public Instruction and other leading educators state that approximately 125,000 children be­ tween the ages of 7 and 16 years are being educated in private and church schools. Of this number, about 110,­ 000 are in Catholic schools, 10,000 in Lutheran schools and the remaining 5,000 are divided between private in­ stitutions and those schools main­ tained by the Dutch and Christian Reformed, Adventists, Episcopalian, and other church bodies. .Opposition Arguments Those who oppose the measure, and this list includes not only church of­ ficial and private school owners, but leading educators, public officials, and prominent economists, group their arguments under three princi­ pal headings: The proposed amendment is un­ necessary, they say; It Is a dem­ onstration of Intolerance which amounts to religious persecution and a move toward a waste of public money which would re­ sult in a tremendous burden of taxation on all the people of the state. Time Too Short The state would have less than 10 months from the November election of this year in which to provide build­ ings, equipment, teaching staffs and all the other machinery of education, which If declared to be a physical im­ possibility. Public school taxes would be in­ creased by approximately 170,000,000 to provide the new buildings and equipment, and >4,000.000 more would have to be raised the first year the amendment was in effect to meet the expense of teaching these newly-ac­ quired pupils of the public schools. Passage of the amendment would be a serious blow at constitutional righto, it Is pointed out. since it would Ipyade the authority of (he home jp the matter of education, besides trampling upou religious rights. In defense of their institutions, pri­ vate and church school leaders de­ clare there is no necessity for the proposed amendment. Partdualrly since the passage of tbe so-called Dacey bill, In the legislature of 1922. they point out, every school in the state has been under the direct super­ vision of the Michigan Slate Depart­ ment of Public Instruction. Their courses of study, they show, conform to the standard prescribed by the Department for public schools; their teachers must successfully pass the same examination required of public school teachers; In short, the child who is a pupil of a private or church school is being just as well educated as the child in the public school. “The National Education Asso­ ciation. . while recognizing the American public school as the great nursery of broad and tol­ erant citizenship and of demo­ cratic brotherhood, acknowledg­ es also tbs contribution made to education by private institutions ' and enterprises, and recognizes that CITIZENS HAVE THE RIGHT TO EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN IN EITHER PUB L1C OR PRIVATE SCHOOLS, when the educational standards of both are approved by the State educational authorities."

Protestantism stands for certain definite principles, but it does not display intolerance towards those of opposite views. A Protestant hopes that others may see as he does, but if they do not he still remains neighborly and fair. He does not resort to legislation to force his convictions upon others. Protestantism is opposed to every type of tyranny over the minds and souls of men. It stands for freedom of conscience and religion. It stands for freedom of thought and speech. It stands for freedom to learn and teach. It cannot agree to a dictatorship of re­ ligion or education without violating its traditional spirit. It docs uot believe that the state should establish a monopoly in education. All who believe in the true spirit of Protestantism will work and vote against the School Amendment, which seeks to give the state a monopoly in education. Passion must not be permitted to destroy educational liberty, which is oneof the best fruits of the Protestant Reformation.

THIS ADVERTISEMENT PAID FOR BY L. H. COOK COME ON—LET’S VOTE Next Tuesday is the most important day the United States will see, in all likelihood, for the next four years. Next Tuesday we—YOU AND I—will elect a president of these United States, a United States Senator, a Congressman for the Fourth district, a Governor for the state of Michigan, a large number of oth­ er state officers, a State Senator for the Fifteenth senatorial dis­ trict, a representative In the state legislature for Barry county, and a full line of county officers for Barry county. If we go to the polls and vote, as Is’ the duty of every good citi­ zen. we will have our share to say us to how the county, the state and the nation will be governed for the coming years. If we stay away, we have no excuse for criticism of any public officer. It is no excuse for you to growl and grumble, to say that it is of no use to vote, "that the ring, the clique, the politicians run things." No ring, nor clique, no politician can run things unless he is elected, and the only way he can be elected is by your vote and mine. Just sit up straight and think that over. Of one thing you may be quite certain; every crook in the state, whether he be in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Battle Creek or Nashville, will vote next Tuesday. Every single one of them. The people who stay away from the polls on election day would be insulted if you intimated that they were not good citizens, but are they, if they are willing to let the crooks elect the public officials and refuse to be square, true and right? Next Tuesday is an important day for you and I. We have our opportunity td do our plain duty for our country, our state, oar nation. Let every citizen who loves this state and his nation, who repects and reveres the Flag, go to the polls next Tuesday and cast bis ballot as his conscience dictates. When less than half of the qualified voters of the country cast their vote, as was the case four years ago, our boasted .liberty is in danger! in very real danger. We shall hope to see Nashville. Castleton, Maple Grove and the . surrounding townships cast a record vote next Tuesday. We shall hang our heads in shame if less than half the voting -----• population shows its real patriotism by voting. Just remember, ’ you individual voter, that you owe it to your country, your state, your nation and your Flag, to go the polls next Tuesday and vote, Vote as your conscience dictates, republican or democrat, ku klux or socialist, Catholic or Protestant, vote as you think right and best, but VOTE. PHEASANT SHOOTING IS EXPENSIVE SPORT. Ringneck pheasants are protected game, and the hunter who molests them is apt to find it expensive sport. L. C. Rolls and Ross Allen, two Detroiters visiting relatives near Sunfield, had pheasant feathers in their hunting coats Sunday, when they ran afoul ot Game Wardens Millenbacher and Cudney. After a lengthy grilling. Rolls produced one dead pheasant, while Allen admitted that he had been shooting at the birds but hadn't bagged any. The hunters were arraigned before Jus­ tice Decke at Grand Ledge Monday morning, and Rolls paid a fine ot $25.00 and $10.00 costs and his 20 gauge shotgun was confiscated.

WOMAN'S LITERARY CLUB. ' At the regular meeting of the Wo­ man's Literary club, held October 28, a splendid discussion of points in favor and against the proposed amendments to be voted on Novem­ ber 4, was given by Mrs. Edna Furntas and Mrs. Lillie Smith. Following the business session Mr. Ralph McNitt sang "Boots and Sad­ dles"—a soldier's farewell by Dud­ ley ‘Buck and graciously responded to two encores. Mrs. Marcia Munro, as hostess of the day, then presented Mrs. Nelson Abbott of Marshall, a former Nash­ ville resident, who spoke most in­ terestingly of her visits to Porto Rico. She gave us a vivid descrip­ tion of the people historically, then the topography of the country and last, the habits and accomplishments of the people. She quoted from a number of cur­ rent writers as she feared we would deem her own description of the is­ land exaggerated.

The burning of two large barns on adjoining farms near Lacey last week aroused a fear of incendiarism among the residents of that section and hasbeen a subject of-much comment for the "past few days. The first fira occurred on the John Norris farm Tuesday night, and started late in 'the night. It was not discovered until well under way and no chance was offered to save anything from the barn. The other fire was on the Greyburn farm, recently purchased by Ward Cole, and started Friday night -shortly after Cole had finished his evening chores. Neighboring residents turned out quickly, but the flames spread so rapidly that salvage work was limited. Cole got his live stock out of danger and a quantity of wheat and oats was saved from the granary, but the grain was dam­ aged to such an extent that it is fit. only for feeding purposes. The mysterious origin of the se­ quent fires naturally aroused the sus­ picions of the Lacey folks, and they enlisted the aid of county officials in solving the matter. Sunday State DAVID N.

He is the chap who gives you credit when you are financially broke, and carries your account until you are able to pay. He is the chap who gives you back your money or makes exchanges when you are not satisfied with what you have bought. He is the chap who meets you at the door with a handshake, and lets you out with a message to the “kids" and a real “come again, goodly.” He is the chap whose clerks live in the home town and spend their mon­ ey with you and other local people. He is the chap who helps support our church and charitable organiza­ tions and talks for the home town and boosts for it every day in the year. He is the chap who visits you when you are sick, sends flowers to your family when you die, and follows your body out among the trees as far aa human feet may travel.

Northwest Castleton is considera­ bly agitated over a phenomenon in the shape of a rain storm of stones, from the rise of a hickory nut up to a goose egg and larger. It is re­ ported that atones began to fall on the farm of Sylvester Osborne Mon­ day afternoon and continued almost incessantly up to the recent time. At intervals they fell so thick that men engaged in husking corn upon Osborfae‘8 place were compelled to ■top work. Chas. Osborne was hit by several of the falling missiles, but not seriously injured. As stat­ ed above the people are greatly ex­ cited, and many have visited the place and witnessed the phenome­ non. The stones are of ,’a dark, volcanic nature, and are not said to fall with great velocity. They are undoubtedly aerolites, and for the edification ot our friends we will say that these phenomenon are of fre­ quent occurrence and nothing to be frightened at.

His reply was practical, hon­ est and sincere and in justice to Mr. Bigler, and to Correct several ver­ sions of his talk which have been reported, we give it herewith in full: “You have here asked me a point­ ed question, and I shall answer It as fairly as I can. I bm a Protes­ tant and my family has been Protes­ tant going back several generations. In reference to the Klan situation I will say most emphatically that I am not a member of that organisation, and do not believe in all of its prin­ ciples as they now stand. The idea of patriotism is a wonderful one, and nobody can dispute the fact that we need more of It in this country, but I do not believe that it can be bought for ten dollars. “The two principal objections that I have for the Klan are, first, the idea of religious intolerance. Over 2,000 years ago it was established that an institution, organisation, or state founded npon prejudice, hat­ red and religious bias could not not exist or endure. The fathers of our country came to this great land ot freedom because they might worship God In the manner they saw fit. They underwent trials and tribula­ tions in order that they might folidir their own religious beliefs, and when the constitution of which we Xre bo proud was adopted, it guar­ anteed to every man the right to worship God as he saw fit, and makes the idea of religious tests repugnant to our idea of government. Every man is entitled to think for himself and has a right to believe as his con­ science dictates. I have no griev­ ance against any individual because he happens to be a Klansman, any more than I have against anyone who does not belong to the same religious faith or political party as myself. I conscientiously feel that certain things in the organisation are wrong. “The second idea to which I am unalterably opposed is the Klan at­ titude toward the foreign born. They have come here be­ cause this country invited them to come, just as the ancestors of every Klansman and myself came. No one can dispute the fact that when the bngle called the foreign born lined np beside the American born In the trenches in France and fought the battle of Democracy. It Is ridiculous to me to assume that be­ cause a man comes from Scotland for instance, and settles down in thia ebtiiitry, working earnestly, saving his money, and becoming a law­ abiding citizen, that he is not just as good as myself, whoso ancestors have lived In this land for several generations. However, it is evident that we have in this country now a large foreign element who have come here in good faith, but in such numbers that we have found it im­ possible to assimilate them, and have them imbibe our American Ideals of freedom and fair play, law and or­ der I believe that it was eminent­ ly wise for Congress to restrict im­ migration until every foreign born person or descendents of such shall have been trained in American ways and to become the right type of American citizen. I do not deny the right of this organization or any other, the right to activity in poli­ tics. However, you will notice npon the membership application card this statement, “The most powerful, secret, non-political organisation in existence.” I have always been a believer in straightforwardness and in dole* things in the open. 1 feel that we should be sincere in our thing for the benefit or betterment of our land or community that it should be deme in the open daylight. I believe that a great many men misled, and have hoc given the subject due consideration. I know of many good men who are members of the Klan. I hive no Ill-will to­ ward them as such, but cannot agrree with them on such a proposition. I realize that in answering this ques­ tion tonight ft may harm me polit­ ically, but I cannot straddle the fence on this sort of sitnation. 1 feel that 1 am right In this regard, and for that reason I have answer­ ed this question as I have.” ladHs W the - bnsUMo on abort. �■ News needs a hammer or 5 an axe, but some da.

Since the second and third grade learned the poem, ’’Great. Wide, Beautiful, Wonderful World,” they are wondering how rather small we must be.

Make sure that each hog gets its share. Mix it with the feed, or swill, or drinking water. That will bring the worms. Then give the Tonic regularly as di­ rected—two tablespoonfuls to every 500 pounds weight twice a day. This will tone up your herd and put them in a fine, thriv­ ing condition. CARD OF THANKS.

CAR WAS STOLEN FROM KALAMAZOO »ves Left it in Charles Day's Barn When it Refused to Go On Thursday of the Eaton coun­ fair, two men drove to the farm me of Charles Day, who lives near e Barryville church, and asked Mrs. Day If they could put their car in Mr. Day's barn. They explained that the car had gone wrong and that they would have to eend somebody back to get it and make some repairs. A week passed and no one called for the car. Mrs. Day spoke to Un­ dersheriff Ward Quick about the mat­ ter, stating that it seemed strange that the men never came for the car. Mr. Quick, on his way home to Nash­ ville the following Saturday, stopped at the Day barn and got the license number on the car and found that the license had been originally is­ sued to Byron Pennock, who lives on route nine from Kalamazoo. The sheriff notified the Kalamazoo sher­ iff of the fact that the car had been left here, but nothing came of it. However, on Wednesday of last week a lady called the sheriff's office here over the telephone, stating this car had been stolen and that it was in­ sured in the Citizen’s Mutual Auto Insurance Company, of Howell. She also explained that representatives of that company would call that day and get It. They did come in the af­ ternoon and went with Mr. Quick to the Day farm and found the car had been so Injured by the thieves that they had to take It to Nashville for repairs. The officers have not been able to find out anything about the thieves who took the car in the first place.—Hastings Banner. THE SCHOOL BELL. When I hear the school bell ringing. Ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing; Echoing over fields and woodland In the golden autumn time— Then I take my pipe and fill It Till it overflows the bowl, And wish I waa a lad again And I could go to school. When I hear the school bell singing. Binging, singing, singing, singing; And I hear gay children's voices In that happy, merry throng— Then I take my pipe and fill it Till it overflows the bowl, And wish I were a lad again And I could go to school. There is music in the school bell; It guides ns on our way; To farmers toiling In the fields It proclaims the time of dav— To farmers working in the fields. Great joy that old bell brings, And they stop their work and listen When the bell begins to ring. There are happy songs in that old bell; I often hear it sing: •’My children here are sweet and fair As the flowers that bloom in spring”— Oh, I don't feel sad, but very glad,, When the teacher pulls the string; And I light my pipe and listen When the bell begins to ring.

Every newspaper, every campaign speaker and radio should be enlisted to pin candidates down and make them show the practicability or possibility of carrying out political promises which they make in ap­ pealing tor votes. Whether more business and less politics Is instilled In our govermental affairs, depends on tbe sen­ timent of the American people as expressed in our coming election. If any citizen deliberately votes for at experiment at this time be should not cry at results, for experiments usually cost money and in public affairs the taxpayer will foot the bill. No communistic experiment or socialistic plan produced the first incandescent »Lamp, the first tele­ phone, the first practical dynamo, or the first successful system of electric transportation. These things were brought into being by men pro­ duced by American civilization, on American soil and under American systems of education and govern­ ment. A woman had a small check cash­ ed in a Michigan bank. In the money passed under the window to her was a "cartwheel.” She balanced it in her hand a moment, looked some­ what in doubt, and then remarked: "1 don’t want that.

In Michigan, are victims to 18 separate and distinct dl*eases, according to Dr. Jan Metxelaar, fish culturist expert from Hol­ land, now doing research work for Michigan. Among the most fatal of the 18 afflictions are goitre and lice, these ailments cutting short the Ilves of two-year-old fish In an alarmlpg way. Dr. Metxelaar, advocates more troughs at fish hatcheries, earlier planting of trout fry to make hard­ ier fish, leas crowding at the hatch­ eries, the planting of brook trout fry In tributary or feeder streams rather than the main streams. Cou­ pled with his research work Is the warning to keep down foreet fires so that trout streams may have nature's own protection to keep the stream cool and to aid in furnishing natur­ al essentials.

The fuslonlsts have elected their entire county ticket with the exception of prosecuting attorney and possibly treasurer. They have a majority of about 260 on their state ticket, and from a small majority up to 286 on the county, about 275 on the elector­ al. The election passed off quietly in the village, but with a full vote. The total number of ballots cast was 616, divided as follows: straight re­ publican 272, democratic 160, green­ back 16, prohibition 17. The number of campaign speech­ es made here this campaign was nine, four of which were republican, three anti-monopoly, one democrat and one prohibitionist.

Dr. Bumham’s SAN YAK FOR OVER 200 YEARS FKIGHNER SCHOOL REPORT October twenty-four closed the second school month at the Felghner district. The pupils of the fifth, sixth and eighth grades are anxious­ ly waiting to hear from fellow pupils in various states In the union. They are also starting their "World Play" The pupils of the first, second, third and fourth grades are taking up ths study of the north and are mak­ ing scrap books containing many Il­ lustrations. Those neither absent nor tardy for the month were Dorothy and Ceylon •a theory Loma Linda, Calif. Thinking perhaps some of the readers of the News would like to know something of my trip back to Michigan by rail, I will try and tell of a few things I saw along the way. I left Sen Benardino, Calif., at 11.50 a. m. on the Santa Fo road; the first stop we made was at Needles. Arizona, where wo had thirty min­ utes for lunch. The. Santa Fe road has splendid accommodations for their passengers. The Santa Fe road is first-class, very smooth and the best of all-steel cars. They ride much easier than the old wooden coaches. The Banta Fe people have an eating boose about every one hundred miles apart, west of Kansas City, and all operated on the Free Harvey plan. Just before the train gets to one of these eating places a porter goes through the car and asks each one if they want to eat in the dining room or at the lunch counter, and then sends the order ahead bo the two departments know how many to prepare for. They sure do put up the food and at a reasonable price. What I saw of Arizona was very desolate looking, no vegetation what­ ever, only cactus and sage brush. Once In awhile we saw the carcass of some animal, which I suppose starved to death and the farther we got east and especially in New Mexi­ co, we saw nothing but cattle on the foot-hills and mountains, but what they found to live on is a mystery to me. Once In a while we would pass through a small Mexican town in New Mexico. The people in these small towns buy a lot and -dig a cellar and take the dirt and make adobe brick and build the house. The brick are made about 4x8x16 inches, pressed with a filling of straw or old grass or whatever they can get to hold them together, let them stand in the hot sun (which is exremely hot) for about three weeks and they ere ready for use. I asked one man If they would shod water. He said, "Yes, the rains are so few and far between that they always dry out before an­ other shower comes up.” One does not see very much in the night on a railroad train, so I will have to sleep and wait for daylight. Well, I have passed through Arizona, New Mexico and am now in Colorado at a place called LaJunta (pronounced la hooita) where I change cars for Pueblo and Colorado Springs. I was in Colorado Springs only one day, but saw many a wonderful sight, one of them was a garden of the Gods and the Seven Falls, and the cave of the winds. I didn't go through the cave. I talked with several who had been In there and the, most of them said it was not worth a dollar, as that Is the price to go through. There are quite a number of Indians there and they have some very nice curios, which they make themselves to sell to visitors. I left .Colorado Springs at 4.15 p. m. and reached Denver that night at 7. The next morning I went on a sight-seeing trip. Den­ ver is a fine city, but has very rough streets and poor sidewalks, mostly of sand-stone rock, which is very un­ even. The capitol is a handsome building, also the court house and library buildings, but I never did care so much about nice, large build­ ings, so I went down on Market street and there is where I put in most of my time In the forenoon. It sure is a sight to see all those trucks loaded with everything that is good to eat that grows—car loads of fruit stacked upon the sidewalk and be­ fore noon it was all sold. I left Den­ ver at 3.00 p. m.. Wednesday, for Kansas City, and did not stop again until I reached thA city at 4.30 p. m. Thursday. J[ didn’t eee very much of Kansas City, as it was late when I got there and left the next morning at 8 o’clock, but I noticed the most of the city is built on a side­ hill. There are some very fine large buildings. They have the fin­ est depot and the best method of taking trains I ever saw. If you know the road you want to go on, go to the door of that road and it tells you the time the rain leaves. There is no getting mixed up with time and roods. I saw some of the finest coufitry In Western Kansas. I can’t find words to express the beauty of that country, especially near Dodge City. One can look for fifty miles In any direction and not see a. hill or even a cradle knoll Just one solid mass of wheat, yellow as gold. Some wheat was cut, and in shocks, some in stacks and some was not cut. I saw several machines at work in Eas­ tern Kansas. There is more corn raised there than In western Kansas. I crossed the Mississippi river at Fort Madison at five o'clock p. m. Friday and reached Chicago al 9.45 Friday night, and left for Battle Creek at Il p. m. and reached there at 3.45 a. m. Saturday. I was planning on taking the bus from there to Nash­ ville, but learned that there was no bus running to Nashville, so I had to go around by Charlotte on the Grand Trunk and reached Nashville at 11 a. m. Saturday. Just three years to a day from the time we left Nashville, August 2, 1931, until I landed in the same old -town. August 2, 1924. I can't say I saw very many changes In 3 years, only the Farm­ ers & Merchants have a nice bank. Several of the older people that I was well acquainted with have passed sway, but I was in luck once. I ar­ rived there just In time to attend the school picnic, and I sure did enjoy myself whan I met my schoolmates, friends and neighbors, and talked over old times, but time was too short for me to see all I expected to, so I had to make my visits short. My next letter will be of my re­ turn trip which will be far more Interesting. Doris Pratt, Bruce Brumm, Marguer­ ite Hynes and Kathleen Moore.

Our average attendance for the past two months has been 97 per cent, and we are hoping to increase it to 100. During the latter part of Septem­ ber and the first part of October we had a conest. The object of each side was to see how many could get their name on the Honor Roll. The losing side gave the winning side a treat to home-made candy. This contest proved so successful that we are now planning to carry the idea out for the remainder of the year. At the end of each month each one who gets his or her name on the Honor Roll, will receive a gold star. Then at the end of the year the one holding the largest number of stars wil] win first honors and will receive a prize. Our room and black-boards have al a 41 laaaaa been prettily decorated both with the older people’s art work and with the little people’s busy work. . u,.r- Flfeen minutes is set aside every day for Palmer Method penmanship. Already great improvement has been noticed, both to the encouragement of the pupils and teacher. Our history lessons-are becoming much more interesting since we have learned to outline our chapters and to recite in a story-form instead of the old-fashioned question and an­ swer method.

Individuals, communities and nations filled with confidence in each other find true con­ tentment and good feeling. Through this confidence, they are of mutual benefit to each other. Just as soon as that confidence is destroyed, that which was productive is gone and all concerned suffer. Confidence is the basis of business today. Confi­ dence is responsible for the great credit system in the commercial world. When you buy merchandise or service from a business man.of Nashville, you get credit because of his CONFIDENCE in you. He BELIEVES m you. He knows that you have built up a character and reputation that DESERVES his confidence. KEEP THAT CONFIDENCE! Keep it for your own sake, as well as for the sake of others. Pay your bills promptly! If circumgtarfbes arise that you cannot take care of yotir obligations at the promised time, be frank with your creditor. Let him know that you are remembering his faith in you. It is only through all of us keeping faith with each other that the granting of credit is possible. Let’s create and maintain a ‘‘good pay” reputation for Nashville. Let us BUILD in this community with CONFIDENCE! LETS MAKE NOVEMBER 1O to 15 “PAY-UP” WEEK IN NASHVILLE We whose names are signed below have confidence in the people of Nashville, and ask them to justify this confidence by keeping their credit in good standing.

The State of Michigan is going to find out, if possible, the source of tho desire that prompts people to start Incendiary fires. A number of __ pyromaniacs have been arrested recently by the State Fire Marshal's Department and through a request of Lieut. Fred Armstrong of the State Police who is attached to the Fire Marshal's Division, a man arrested on such a charge baa been sent to the Ionia State Hospital where he will be put under the personal observa­ tion of Dr. Haskell, In charge of the institution. The man sent to Ionia for from two to ten years is Glenn Townsend, 22, of Otsego. He is one of three persons who confessed to having started 13 fires in Septem­ ber. The sentence of Townsend was made on October 21. Lieut. Arm­ strong has obtained more arson case confessions than any other one mtn in the State, it is believed. He was with the Division for three years before it was merged with the State Police work, again joining the Mar­ shal’s Division about three months ago. All three of those who confessed In SeptemBer admitted the * same physical disorder and Lieut. Arm­ strong believes a cure can be found If one of them is put under obser­ vation. Young Townsend set fire to four barns, a haystack and a stack of corn fodder. The total loss was about $4,000. The fires were not started far apart, very obviously the work of the same person—a pyro­ maniac. The prosecuting attorney requested the State Fire Marshal to send an Investigator and Lieut. Armstrong was assigned to-the case. Townsend confessed after being questioned by the Investigator. All of the barns ho fired belong to neigh­ bors and he said that In each'case he started the fires when a desire to see something burn overwhelmed him. The other confessions , were obtained from a 19 year old boy In Newaygo County and a woman in Calhoun County. The boy, Ray Griffin, confessed to burning throe barns and one house,, the total lose being $9,000. He was sure, before starting the barn fires, to see that the horses were untied. The In­ surance company called for assist­ ance from the State. Griffin was sent to the State Reformatory. The woman confessed to twice setting fire to the house in which she lived and once to the woodshed. The in­ terior of tho house was badly dama­ ged In the second fire which she started by lighting a basket full of old rags. Lieut. Armstrong was in a nearby city at the time and read ot the fire in a newspaper. He knew the Chief of the Fire Department In the city where the fire occurred'hnd offered his assistance. He obtained the confession in less than half an hour and the court put the woman on probation for one year.

The other day her mother while reading the par per exclaimed: “I see Mrs. Blank has a little daughter.” “How do you know that, mama’’’ the child Inquired. "It says so in the paper, dear.” “Read it to me'.” Her mother read: "Born, on Sep­ tember 15, to Mr. and Mrs. John Blank, a' daughter.” The young hopeful thought a mo­ ment and then said: “I know what I’m going to do. I am going to stop praying and bepin advertising.” Whom? Of course the absent-minded pro? fessor, like the mother-in-law, will never die, for those two persons are the'greatest laugh-makers so far giv­ en to mankind, but there’s a certain member of the former class at North­ western University who for the time being takes the cake. The other morning his wife said, “John, you haven't kissed me for eight days.” ' “Dear me, how annoying,” ex­ claimed the professor. "Whom have I been kissing?” It doesn't worry a girl not to have enough clothes on, but she sure would feel embarrassed If she didn't have enough powder on. The whole family went to the Gem last night for the show. Suddenly the 'small daughter of the household began to chew gum vigorously. “Where did you get that gum?” asked mother. • “Right here on the bottom of the seat,” said the Angel Child. “There’s more here. Did you want some?" Just Wind. The child had been greatly Im­ pressed by her first experience In Sunday school. She pressed her hands to her breast, and said solemnly to her sis­ ter, two years older. ’When you hear something wite here It is conscience whispering to you.” “It is no such thing,” the sister jeered, "that's just wind on your tummy.” Between Friends. “How do you find marriage?" “During courtship I talked and she listened.

Western Nawapapar Union.) KIT HEN Pietro Sanchez returned W from putting down the Insurrec­ tion In Modlva, be brought to his home town of Plasta but one trophy of the war—a large brass cannon. Pietro whs an honest, sturdy black­ smith. He had fought just as be set tires on the wagon wheels or shod a horse—his whole soul In tbe task. He bad been the leader of tbe company which drove the marauding gang of Rlvolla, the bandit, out of the district “It Is a memento, a monument and a trade sign," said Pietro. “There it shall remain as a record, reminder and sign manual of the trade of the anvil.” There came new disturbances as the years passed by, but these were cen­ tered in a distant province. Pietro looked grim and thoughtful as he heard of new depredation* of the Rlvolla bnndlttL Airy, fairy Ninez, full of all the joyous hopefulness of yonth, only spiled on. She was light-hearted and happy. Had she not Luis Guarez, the handsomest gallant at Plasta? His stalwart arm, his loyal heart would spring to action In response to any patriotic call. As to Rlvolla. some day tbe gibbet. For the family of Pietro had known Rlvolla in the past. Two years be­ fore he had lived at Plasta for a time. He had appeared as a suitor for Ninez. Sternly old Sanchez had ordered him away from the threshold. And Ninez bad felt relieved when the fierce visaged bandit had departed from tbe vil­ lage. Then there had come a missive for the little Mexican maid. It was from the renegade Rlvolla. “Have a care!" the words of the message ran. “I have sworn to make you mine, and Bl voila never falls In his purpose." It was of this that Ninez and Luis were speaking one moonlit night The pair had seated themselves on a bench beside the old fleldplece. "Another month, mlo Ninez," spoke the young man fervently, "and you will be mine. Then adlos I to all your need­ less fears of this terrible Rlvolla.” “You do not know his treacherous nature," fluttered Ninez, shrinking closer to her manly escort, as though from a sense of protection. “My fa­ ther tells me he has broken loose again with his wicked horde." “Rlvolla Is a braggart and a cow­ ard I" declared Luis. “It was In the last campaign that be threatened our little army so dlrefully, only to run and hide when we advanced upon his stronghold.** Ninez smiled and forgot her fears as they strolled homeward*. Lui* did not tell Ninez as be bade her good­ night. but he knew there was some foundation for her word*. After leaving Ninez, her lover re­ turned to the bluffs. It was his night for patrol duty. For a long tlma be sat by the side of the cannon. His cloak wrapped about him to guard himself from the usual mid­ night chill sweeping down the valley*, Lui* suddenly roused, as, chancing to glance across the broad stream he saw a faint glimmer of blue light Without disturbing or alarming any other member of the family, he aroused Sanchez. A grim smile crossed the face of the smith as he listened. Hl* clear eye glowed with the coherent resolve of -a resolute and Intelligent man as he gave his direction*. Luis was to carry these out. "Mount your swift horse,” directed Pietro, “arouse the gunsmith and send him to mq at once, Then make for the ford and Modlva. Tell the mayor there to arouse the old guard and hur­ ry to surround Rlvolla and hls crew." “But If they cross the river before then?” submitted Luis, quite anxiously. "They will not cross the river,” de­ clared Pietro with a grim, determined flash of his lion eyes. At daylight over one hundred grimvlsaged. determined men were gath­ ered on the bluff where the historic fleldplece stood. The mists, slowly lifting, showed the camp of the out­ laws on tbe opposite bank of the river. They had scoured the shore up and down stream for every stray raft, yawl and rowboat A formidable flo­ tilla, aU centered tn a group In a little cove, showed. Beside the cannon stood old San­ chez, in hls hand an unlighted fusee. Hls old companion gunner was sight­ ing the fleldplece. “Alm low,” directed Pietro, and the fusee was lighted. "Grand old thunderer I” commented the patriarch of the village, as boom and flash and destruction haunted tbe face of the waters. There was confusion on the opposite shore, as almost to the last vestige the flotilla was destroyed. And thee new excitement as Luis, with tbe Modlva contingent, cut off the inland retreat of the baffled bandits. Routed, prisoners or destroyed, tbeb evil career was summarily and penna nently checked and the power of Rl­ volla broken forever. __ And in the white moonlight, hover log near the brave old fleldplece that had saved Plasta, Luis and Nines re­ newed their plighted troth.

Kllmeny threw away hls drill and fought It out with Peale. They might have been compared to a rapier and a two-handed broadsword. Jack was more than a skilled boxer. He was a cool punishing fighter, one who could give as well as take. Once Peale cornered him, bent evidently on closing and crushing hls ribs with a terrific bear hug. It would have bee* worth a dozen lessons from a boxing master to see how the young man fought him back with jabs and uppercuts long enough to duck under the giant’* arms to safety.

WOODARD WEARS BEST ONE YET HELD STANDARD GOLD BUTTON Nashville Manager of Standard Oil Company Proud of Ten-Year Service Emblem. Ed. Woodard, the capable represen­ tative of the Standard Oil company in Nashvlle. wears with justifiable pride a gold service button present­ ed to him by the company as an em­ blem of having completed ten years of service with the company. Mr. Woodard is an acknowledged asset to bis company in the local territory. He is always on the job, is pleasant and accommodating, and he makes service to his customers his main business in life. The fact that there are six out of seven oil stations in Nashville handling Red Crown gasoline, and that Nashville is one of the beet towns of its size in the state for the Standard Oil com­ pany in the sale of lubricating oils and greases is a striking testimonial to Mr. Woodard’s popularity and close attention to bis business. In recognition of loyal and faith­ ful service, four hundred and twen­ ty-two employes of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have just been awarded gold service buttons. Of this number, three hundred thirtynine were for ten years service, fif­ ty-four for twenty years and twen­ ty-nine for thirty years. The button for ten years service has two stars, twenty years, four stars and thirty years, six stars. The name of each wearer is engraved on the back and "in recognition of ser­ vice’’ is engraved on the front of the button. AH told, there are two thousand six hundred thirty-four Standard Oil employes in the eleven state, where the company operates, wearing these buttons. One thousand eight hun­ dred eighty-six are for ten years ser­ vice, five hundred thirty-five, twenty years, two hundred thirteen, '’ thirty years. The awards are made semiannually. The awarding of these gold buttons is only one of _ a ____ number _ _of things the management of the Stan­ dard OH Company does to show its appreciation and interest in the em­ ployes for their faithful service. In order to encourage thrift and inter­ est In the affairs of the company, there is in operation an employes* stock purchase plan, whereby each employe may purchase stock up to twenty per cent of his salary or wages, and for every dollar put In by the employe, the company puts in fifty cents. This has proved to be very popular, as fifteen thousand of the company employes are stockhold­ ers. and their holdings run into the millions. The company also has an annuity plan that takes care of every employe who becomes Incapacitated and who, from old age or disability Is unable to continue his work. There are hundreds on the annuity roll, and more than a million dollars have been paid out In annuities. The families of the twety-seven thousand employes of the Standard Oil Company are made beneficiaries In insurance policies ranging In amounts from five hundred dollars to two thousand dollars, dependent up­ on the length of service. One year of service is required for participa­ tion. Five years ago, there was inaug­ urated in the manufacturing depart­ ments an industrial relation plan, whereby employe councils pass upon wages, hours, working conditions and all other matters intimately related to their employment. Recently, this plan was extended to the one thou­ sand employes in the Central Office In Chicago. NUMBER 18 in Detroit Auto Accident. TOT STARTS OUT TO SEE DON B.

East Lansing, Nov. 17.—Twenty­ eight fields of corn, sampled as en­ trants in the Five-Acre corn growing contest conducted in the state dur­ ing the past season by the Michigan Agricultural College, fail to include a contestant likely to approach the 100 bushel goal set for the contest. Adverse weather conditions during the season proved too biga handicap for Michigan corn growers to over­ come In the contest, according to D. F. Rainey, M. A. C., extension spec­ ialist in charge of the Five-Acre testa. The fields sampled for pro­ duction all showed very high mois­ ture content in the corn, running from 51 per cent down to 32 per cent, the lowest found among the contestants. This high moisture content, check­ ed for the best growers in the state, gave positive indication of the need for careful handling of the state’s seed corn stores this year.

Dear friends and all: There Is nothing to. say of a trip to Florida until one has crossed the Ohio river, and then there are things saying every minute. The roads and weather, save being windy, was fine all down through Indiana. We crossed at Louisville and 25 miles out of there we struck the roughest travelling I ever experienced for 25 miles more to Elizabethtown, not our kind of rough roads, but stones— the dirt all wears out and washes away, leaving a solid road of cobble stone just as nature made them and she is no road-maker for autos. From Horse Cave to Nashville there are two main traffic ways, and we took the one via. Glasgow and Scottsville, which must have been the wrong one for nearly all the way between these places they were working and we either were detouring or trying to travel on fresh work and it had rained hard two days previous, so we were strictly in it, but we got there just the same, without any trouble or mishap. I don’t think there is a place in Kentucky that is level enough for a tent, even every bit of rood is up or down hill and winding, making very pretty driving, but keeps one busy as abort, sharp curves, ev­ en to the jack-knife variety, are real frequent, while every farm surely has its ups and down, still there were a few quite prosperous looking sec­ tions, but they were few and far be­ tween. It is not settled as In our country, and I don't eee how any one can exist where hundreds are living, still they surely do for there are no cemeteries, only saw three through the state and they didn’t look any mdre prosperous than its towns or farms. Folks just live un­ til they are so old and dried up that there Isn’t anything left of them. The most of the folks here seem to trav­ el on horse back or mule back and the rest mostly by horse drawn ve­ hicles, and one seldom meets with any going faster than a walk, which was my greatest surprise and I don’t understand it now for all drive small animals of the speedy-looking type, and a good share of them that are teaming ride the rear horse to drive instead of from the rig. Here in Tennessee we have found excellent roads and a fine prosperous farming country, with ever so many of the old homes of slavery times still in much of their former glory, only aged and out of date. They are the true southern style and are nearly all allko as are so many of the houses of Kalamo, and all on very sightly places. In Kentucky we passed the houses that were the birthplaces of our presidents. Lin­ coln and Johnson, the former hav­ ing a cement* house built over it to preserve It. and tn this region are the many great caves for which the state is so famous, and ther® Is also an oil section around Glasgow, where a great many oil pumps are constantly at work, and there is the most won­ derful spring water everywhere. The roads are lined with tourists with a lot of them going north. I don’t know where to. All are well treated and no one seems to be try­ ing to just live off of them, but I can see that they are tiring of trying to be as hospitable to them as It Is their nature to be—there are so many that It can't be done. This takes us to Nashville, where wo are now on our 5th night out, 560 miles from home and with weather just the same as we have there so^far. Yours truly. " F. F.

It brought back to me most vividly one of the very tragic events of my own child­ hood days. The approach of winter had brought me my very first pair of red-topped, copper-toed boots, and I know that there was never a hap­ pier kid in Nashville. Those were good boots and they were pretty boots, and I was certainly very proud of them. So I had to put them on and go out and wade in the water after a rain. There were many mud-holes in Nashville streets after every rain in those days. But when I got back In the house and the good mother discovered that those new boots had been pretty thoroughly soaked she told me to take them right off and dry them out.

It escaped him for the moment that Joyce was thinking about her own safety, while Moya was anxious about his, but later he was to remember it. He had not been gone ten minutes before Joyce was sound asleep. She trusted him and she trusted Moya, ami for her that was enough. All her life she bad relied on somebody else to bear the brunt of her troubles. But the girl with the powdered freckles beneath the dusky eyes carried her own burdens. She too had implicit confidence in the champion who had come out of the storm to help them and hud taken his life in hand to do it Her heart went -out to him with all the passionate ardor of generous youth. She had never met such a man. so strong, so masterful, and yet so boyish. Her brain was far too active for slumber. She sat before the stove and went over the adventures of the past two hours. How strange that they had met him again in this dra­ matic fashion. Pei haps he lived at Goldbunks now nnd they would see more of him. She Coped so mightily, even though there persisted in her mind a picture of his blue-gray eyes paying homage to Joyce. The storm hud blown Itself out be­ fore morning. A white world sparklet! with flashes of sunlight when Moya opened the door of tjio cabin and gazed out Looking down Into the peaceful valley below, it was hard to believe that death had called to them so loudly only a few hours earlier.

They had been comrades in the determination to shield her from whatever difficulties the situation might hold. "I'm glad. Is she quite herself this morning? Last night she was very tired and a good deal alarmed." "Yes. After you came Joyce did not worry any more. She knew yon would see that everything came right" The color crept Into his bronzed face. "Did she say so?” "Yes. But it was not what she said. I could telL" Tm glad I could do what I did." The eyes that looked at him were luminous. Something sweet and mock­ ing glowed in them Inscrutably. He knew her gallant soul approved him, and his heart lifted with gladness The beauty of her companion fas­ cinated him, but be divined in this Irish girl the fine thread of loyalty that lifted her character out of the commonplace. Her slender, vivid per-, sonallty breathed vigor of the spirit wholly engaging. Joyce joined her friends In the door­ way. With her cheeks still flushed from sleep ana her hair a little di­ sheveled, she reminded Jack of a beau­ tiful crumpled rose leaf. Since her inner quality, she needed more than Moya the adventitious aids of dress. The young woman's smile came out warmly at sight of Kflmeny.

His biscuits came to the table hot and flaky, his bacon was done to a turn. Even ths chicory coffee tasted delicious to the hungry guests. With her milk-white skin, her vivid crimson lips so exquisitely turned, and the superb vitality of her youth, Joyce bloomed In the sordid hut like a flower In a rubbage heap. To her bronzed vis-a-vis it seemed that the world this morning was shimmering romance. Never before had he en­ joyed a breakfast half as much. H* and Miss Seldon did most of the talk­ ing, while Moya listened, the star flash in her eyes and the whimsical little smile on her Lips. Joyce was as gay as a lark. She chattered with ths childish artless­ ness that at times veiled her sophisti­ cation. Jack was given to understand that she loved to be natural and sim­ ple, that she detested the shams of social convention to which she was rent flashing straight to his reins.

A. Nowack) Lansing, Mich., Nov. 25—An ex­ ample of unselfish devotion to public duty is chronicled in the labors of Fred W. Green, Ionia, mayor of that city for so many years that the name and date of service of his predecessor is forgotton. The re­ view of cities as observed by the League of Michigan Municipalities gives Mayor Green a salary of $40 a year. In his own right he is a mill­ ionaire several times over. There ara a number of cities listed by the league as having mayors who receive from $25 to $100 annually. Grand Ledge pays its mayor $25 per year; St. Johns is listed as paying its mayor $71; Ypsilanti pays $1 per year and several cities, like Cadillac and Big Rapids, pay nothing. Cities in Michigan during the last year have installed about 20,000 miles of street lighting equipment as an aid to beautifying cities at night and to provide protection. Michigan boasts a state wide super power system 1,500 miles in length. This system is owned by the Consu­ mers Power company and It serves 159 thriving cities and towns. Electrical resources of this system total about a million horsepower, with 171,000 additional horsepower now under construction and ready soon for release. Hunters generally are stronger than ever for the one-buck Law. More deer are in the woods now than for many years past, they say. It was left in the natural increase for deer this year to wipe away the ma­ jor part of the prejudice against the present law. It is estimated that around 40,000 hunters took out deer hunting permits this year. Thirty-three dtlea^ in ; Michigan now have city managers to conduct the business of the municipalities. The salary of $1,400 is the lowest paid, at Big Rapids, while one other city pays 91.800, four others $2,000 per year, three $2,400 and the bal­ ance from $2,800 to $7,00. Fred ris, Escanaba, are in the latter class. Did you know that; Frank Croul, Detroit's commiss­ ioner of police, is the highest sal­ aried police chief in Michigan. He draw. $7,500 per year. M. D.

It was a typical Mexican scene—the interior of the chid gambling den at Truro and a critical stage of the game In progress.

The position was this: The com­ mandant of the sectional Insurgents wished to send a particular message to a co-patrlot one hundred miles away. It involved a junction of the two forces. The Intermediate forty leagues of territory, however, were occupied by a dangerous enemy. The chief at Truro was surrounded by enemies and spies. He had hired Howe to do some translation and bad confidence in him. Howe engaged to cross the danger line and deliver bls message. He was to try and find some free lance who would accompany hjm and bring back a reply, while he, well rewarded, re­ turned to home, friends and fiancee— Nellie Duryea, the only Nellie in tha world to him beyond the unsettled bor­ der line. Howe bad thought of Matteo and that was why he was now an inmate of the noisy gambling den.

Straight as a soldier then, he walked from the room. “It will break his heart to lose bls friend,” Howe told Arvldl quickly. “May I redeem him?” and he proffered fifty dollars In paper money. “All right,” nodded the gambler and then Howe snatched up the dog and rushed after his master. Howe over­ took him at the street door. "Yours," he said, placing the little pet In his arms. Matteo stared at Howe in a dazed, uncertain way. Then his fingers gently caressed the dog. His voice broke aa he comprehended what Howe bad done. “Amigo.” he said, holding Howe’s hand in a fervent grasp, “when my fortune turns I shall know bow to re­ pay you.” ”1 can help It turn Just now," re­ marked Howe significantly.

Has Twelve-Foot Beard , The Spirit of Christmas. wherever there is found one or mere whom we can (and should) assist, there neighborliness must begin. A minister once approached one of bls parishioners with the request for a contribution for the purpose of do­ ing- Christian work abroad. The par­ ticular field he bad Id mind was Chin*. The man replied that he was willing to help bls neighbors but did not think he was called upon to help those as far away as China. "Whom do you consider your neigh­ bor?” asked the minister. "The man whose farm adjoins me," was the prompt reply. "How far down into just as promptly answered: “To the center!" "Very weli.’* said the mlnlater quickly, "There Is a man down in China whose land joins yours at the center of the earth; be Is therefore your neighbor and needs your help." This was a new thought to the slowgoing church member. He learned his lesson and we need to learn the same. Only as we do so will we be able to broaden our lives Into the fullness of the life of Jesus the Christ The application of the teaching of Jesus to business and society would produce a perpetual Christmas season; a time of peace and joy and happiness lasting throughout the year. The giving of cheap presents or money, however, does not constitute Christmas; as well expect a bouquet of flowers (however lovely) to consti­ tute summer! The Christmas spirit, rather than the Christmas show, hon­ ors Him whose birth, no less than His life, was the greatest Christmas gift the world has ever received.

The battered face of bls companion loomed over the shoulder of Peale. To Kilmeny It was plain that they had come with the idea of making themselves disagreeable. Very likely they had agreed to force their com­ pany upon the young women for breakfast. But the sight of their dainty grace, together with Jack’s cheerful invitation, was too much for their audacity. Peale grumbled some­ thing inaudible and turned away, slamming the door as he went. The young miner laughed softly. If he had shown any unwillingness they would have pushed their way In. His urbanity had disarmed them. They're not really bad men. ysu know—just think they are," he ex­ plained casually. Tm afraid of them. I don’t trust them," Joyce shuddered. "Well, I trust them while they're under my eye. The trouble with men of that stripe is that they're yellow. A game mnn gives you a fighting chance, but fellows of this sort hit while you’re not looking, _ But you needn’t worry. They're real tame citizens this morning." “Yea, they looked tame," Moya answered dryly. "So tame l’m sure they’d like to crucify yen?." . "I daresay they would, but In this world a man can’t get everything he would like. I've wanted two or three pleasures myself that I didn't get" His gaze happened to turn toward Joyce as he was speaking. He had pushed along the shoulder of the bin, avoiding the draw into which snow had drifted deep. Life stormed In their wins, glowed in their flushed cheeks, rang in the care-free laughter of at least two of them. Jack broke trull, turning often in the saddle with a little twist of his lean muscular body, to suggest n word of caution at the bad places. Always then he discovered the deep violet eyes of Joyce Seldon with their smoldering tire. To let himself dwell upon her loveliness of fine-textured satiny skin, set off by the abundant crown of lustrous bronze hair, was to know again h quickened pulse of delight. When he spoke it* was with the lan­ guid drawl of the western plainsman. In humor he feigned to conceal his passion, but Joyce knew him to be alertly conscious of her every word, every turn of her pliant body. They reached the road, where two could ride abreast. Sometimes he was with the one. again with the other. Moya, who had not much to say this morning, made it easy for him to be with Joyce. She did not need to be told that he was nnder the allure of that young woman’s beauty; and not alone of her beauty, but of that provoc­ ative stimulating something that can be defined only as the drag of sex. All men responded to It when Joyce chose to exert herself, many when she did not. Once he turned, to point .out to Moya some snow-covered mounds above the road. * ‘‘Graves of a dozen mule-skinners killed by Indians nearly thirty years ago. My father was the only one of the party that escaped.” Half s mile from town they met two men on horseback and exchanged news. All Goldbanks had been search­ ing for them through tbe night The Farquhar party were wild with anxiety about them. Kilmeny gave prompt quiet orders. “Get back to town, boys, and tell Lady Farquhar that it’s all right We’ll be along in a few minutes." The news of their safety spread as by magic. Men and women and chil­ dren poured into the streets to wel­ come them. It was as much aa KHmeny could do to keep back tbe cheer­ ing mob long enough to reach the -hotel. Verinder, Lady Jim, and India came down the steps to meet them. Captain Kilmeny and Lord Farquhar both being away at the head of search parties. India and Lady Farquhar broke down without shame and cried as they embraced the returned wan- “We thought . . .Ave thought . . ." India could not finish in words, bnt Moya knew what she meant "It was very needy that way, dear, but everything la all right now," her friend smiled through a film of tears.

Will for him—end what else had her eyes yoa come to dinner this evening? told him in the golden glow ef that Joyce and Moya should be rested by electric moment?—a hundred Verlnders and Lady Farquhars could not keep them apart His heart sang jubilantly.

Tell ua all about him, picas?." That’s a rather large order. Isn’t It?” The wrinkles in his leathery fare broke Into a smile. “What in particu­ lar do you want to know?” “Everything. What do** he do? How docs be live? How long lias he been here?" "He has been around here about five years. He has a lease In a mine." There was a flinty dryness in the man­ ner of the superintendent that neither Joyce .nor Moya missed. “And he makes his living by It?” Above bis spectacles the eyes of Bleyer gleamed resentfully. "You’ll have to ask Mr. Kilmeny how he makes his living. I don't know.” "You’re keeping something from us/ I believe you do know, Mr. Bleyer.” With a swift turn of her supple body Joyce appealed to Verinder. “Make him tell up. please.” Moya did not lift the starllke eyes that were so troubled from the face of Bleyer. She knew the man implied something discreditable to Kilmeny. The look that had flashed between him and Verinder told her so much. Red signals of defiance blazed on both cheeks. Whatever it was, she did not Intend to believe him. Verinder disclosed a proper reluc­ tance. “Bleyer says he doesn’t know." “Oh, he sjiys! I wont him to tell what he thinks.” “You won’t like it," the mine owner warned. Til be the best judge of that.” Joyce swung upon Bleyer. “You hear, ' HMM to tell me what you He "I don’t mean anything." paused, then looked straight at Joyce with a visible harshness. Til tell~ you what the common gossip to if you want to know, Miss Seldon. They •ay he Is a hlghgrader.” “And what is a manded Moya. “A hlghgrader is rich ore from the works,” answered Verinder smugly. Moya, eyes hot and shining, flashed her challenge at him. “I don't believe It—not a word of It, so far as Mr. Kilmeny is concerned." “Afraid that doesn’t change the facts. Miss Dwight. It's a matter of general knowledge.” Beneath Verinder*s bland manner there lurked a sub­ stratum of triumph. “General fiddlesticks! Don’t believe It, Joyce,” cried Moya stonnily. “He doesn't even work as a miner. He owns his own lease.” “He used to work in the mines, even if he doesn’t now. There are stories—" “Ridiculous to think it of Mr. Kil­ meny," exploded Moya. “We’ve done nothing but Insult him ever since we've known him. First he was a highwayman. Now he is a thief. Any­ thing else, Mr. Verinder T’ “Everybody knows It," retorted Ver­ inder sulkily. Then prove it. Put him In prison. Aren't there any laws In the state? If everybody knows It, why isn’t he arrested?” the Irish girl flamed. “Moya," chided Lady Farquhar Her ward turned upon Lady Jim a flushed faee stirred by anger to a vivid charm. “Can't you aee how absurd it Dwight." The superintendent added grudgingly: They don't look kt It that way. Bits of Highgrade ore are ' their perquisite, they pretend to think." Verinder broke in. They say your friend Kilmeny took ore to the value of two thousand dollars from tbe Never Quit on.one occasion. It ran to that amount by actual smelter test, the story goes. I’ve always rather doubted it" "Why—since he is so dishonest T Moya flung at him. "Don’t think a man could carry sway so much at one time. What d’ye think, Bleyer?" “Depends on bow highgrade ore the mine carries. At Cripple Creek we found nearly four thousand on a man once. He was loaded down like a freight car—looked like the fat boy in ‘^ickwlck Papers.' "Should think he'd bulge out with angles where the rock projected,” Lady Farquhar suggested. The men have it down to a system there. We used to search them as they left work. They carry the ore In all sorts of unexpected places, such as the shoulder padding of their coats, their mouths, their ears, and in slings scattered over the body. The ore Is pounded so that it does not bulge." “Perhaps Pm doing Mr. Kilmeny an injustice, then. Very likely he did get away with two thousand at one time,” Verinder jeered with an unpleasant laugh. "Yes, let's think the worst of every­ body that we can. Mr. Verinder," came Moya’s quick scornful retort The Croesus of Goldbanks stood warming himself with Ids back to the grate, as, smug and dapper a little man as could be found within a day's journey. "Very good, Miss Dwight Have it your own way. I’m not a bally prophet you know, but I’ll go this far. Your little tin hero Is riding for a fall. It la all very well for him to do the romantic and that sort of piffle, by Jove, but when you scrape the paint off he's just a receiver of stolen property and a common agitator. Don’t take my word for it. Ask Bleyer." Without looking at him he gave a little jerk of the head toward his superintendent. “Who is the most undesirable citizen here, Bleyer? Who makes all the trouble for the compa­ nies?" Bleyer shook his head. "I can’t back my opinion with proof.” "You know what people say. Whom do the men rely on to back them when­ ever they have trouble with us? Out with it" “Kilmeny is their king pin—the most influential man in camp." “Of course he is. Anybody could tell to look at him that he is a leader. Does it follow he must be a criminal?" Moya demanded abruptly. Tbe superintendent smiled. He un­ derstood what was behind that irrita­ tion. “You're a good friend. Miss Dwight” “It’3 absurd that I am. He did noth­ in* for Joyce and me—except figtt for us and sec that we were sheltered and fed and brought home safely. Why shouldn't we sit still and let his repu­ tation be torn to tatters?" Blucher bore down upon the field of Waterloo. "Of course we're Tor* Mr. Kilmeny, as you Yankees say. I don't of the superintendent like cords. He stuck doggedly to his gur.a “I didn't say h> stole the ore himself. The charge is that be buys it from the men who do take It His lease is an ex­ cuse. Of course he pretends to get tho ore there." "It's the common talk of tho camp," snapped Verinder contemptuously. The man doesn't even keep ft under Then prove It . . . prove ft! That ought te be easy—since every­ body knows it” Moya's voice was low, but her scornful passion lashed the Englishman as with a whip. "By Jove, that’s just what Tm go­ ing to do. I’m going to put our friend behind tho bars for a few years," the smug Uttls man cried triumphantly. The red spots Moya’s cheeks burned. Tho flashing eyes of the girl deted her dlsct-fied lover. "If you can,” she amended with quiet anger. The sett laugh of Joyce saved for the moment the situation. "Deer me, aren’t we getting a little excited? Mr. Bleyer, tell me more. How doe* a— a hlghgrader, didn’t you call him?— how do** he get a chance to steal the ore?" “He picks out the best pieces while he to working—the nuggets that are going, to ran a high per cent of gold— and pockets them.

He’s a gentleman—and very In­ teresting.” Joyce nodded decisively, tilting a saucy chin toward Verinder. “We’re for him, aren’t we, Moya?" Lady Farquhar smiled and let her embroidery drop to the table as ata* somethin* about him that's very at­ tractive. I do hope you are wrong. Mr. Bleyer.

If it wasn't for that I'd say to man him a check and wipe tbe slate clean; But of course—•" “Yoo'd never dare." breathed Moya tensely. “I won't have him insulted.” “Of course not, nnder the circum­ stances. No need to get volcanic, Mira Dwight. I merely suggested what I’d like to do. Now the burden to off my shoulders. I have given you the facts." “You've given us only suspicions, Mr. Verinder. I don’t think it would be fair to assume them correct," the chaperon answered. But Moya knew that Verinder had dropped bls seed In fruitful solL Lady Farquhar would not forget. Jack Kilmeny's welcome would be some­ thing less than cordial henceforth. In spite of the warm defense she had made of him, the heart of Moya was troubled. She knew him to be reckless. .The boundaries of. ethical conduct were not the same for him as for Lord Farquhar, for instance. He bad told her as much In those summer days by tbe Gunnison when they were first adventuring forth to friendship. His views on property and on tho struggle between capital and labor were radical. Could it be that they carried him as far as this, that he would take ore to which other* bad title? The strange phase of the situation was that nobody in Goldbanks seemed to give auy consideration to the moral issue. K rumor were true, the dis­ trict attorney and a good many of the business men of the to*n were en­ gaged in disposing of this ore for the miners on a percentage basis. Between the, miners and the operating compa­ nies was war. If a workman could get the better of the -owners by taking ore, that was a point to his credit Even Verinder and Bleyer at bottom regarded the matter as a question of strength and not as one of equity. Moya was still In process of think­ ing herself and life out It was-to her an amazing thing that a whole com­ munity should so lose Its sense of values as to encourage even tacitly what was virtually theft She did not want to pass ’Judgment upon Goldbanks, for she distrusted her horizon as narrow. But surely right was right and wrong xas wrong. Without a stab of pain she could not think of Jack Kilmeny as engaged in this Illicit traffic. In her heart she was afraid. Bleyer was a man to be trusted, an J In ef­ fect he had said that her friend was n hlghgrader. Even to admit a doubt hurt her conscience as a disloyalty, but her groplngs brought no certainty of his Innocence. It would be In keep­ ing with the man's character, as she read it, not to let fear of the conse­ quences hold him from any course upon which he was determined. Had he not once warned her in his whim­ sical smiling way that she would have to make “a heap of allowances” for him lf*«be were to remain bis friend? Was it this to which he had referred when be had told her he was likely to disappoint her, that a man must live by the code of his fellows and judge right and wrong by the circumstances? Explicitly he had given her to under■tand that his standards of honesty would not square with hers, since he lived in a rough mining camp where questions had two sides and were not to be determined by abstract rule. As for Joyce, the charges against Kilmeny did not disturb her in the least He might be all they said of him and more; so long a* he interest­ ed her that was enough. Jnst nowher head was full of the young man. In the world of her daydreams many suitors floated nebulously. Past and present she had been wooed by a suffi­ cient number. But of them all not one had moved her pulses as this im­ possible youth of the unmappad desert West had done. Queer errant Im­ pulse* tugged at her well-disciplined mind an«’ stormed the creed of world1 In ess with which she had fenced her heart. A stroll to view the sunset had been arranged by the young people up what was known as 8on-of-a-Gun hill. Moya walked. of course with Captain Kil­ meny, her betrothed. Joyce saw to it that Verinder was paired with India, Jack Kilmeny falling to her lot Since India knew that her escort was eager to get with MIbh Seldon, she punished hto impatience by loitering far behind. During the past few days Jack had pushed fils tentative suit boldly but lightly. He understood that Joyce was flirting with him, but he divined that there had been moments when the tide of her emotion* had swept the young woman from her feet She was a coquette, of course, but when his eyes fell like a plummet into her* they sounded depths beneath the sur­ face foam. At such time* the beat of the surf sounded in hto blood. The spell of sex, with all its fir* and pas­ sion, drew him to this lovely creoture so prodigal of allure. meat's breathing space near the sum­ mit. Beneath them the squalid little town huddled in the draw and ran sprawling up the hillsides. Shaft­ houses and dumps disfigured even the Joyce gave a laughing little standdor.

This booty will probably be sold at public auction following court con­ demnations. The confiscated goods belonged to deer hunters who were trying to smuggle deer across *the “•straits. One bus, worth 33.000, seized. In It were many deer and partridges. THRU DAIRYING Formerly, dairying was a side-line of farm­ ing, but now it has developed into one of the leading industries. Michigan's largest and most disastro us fires in cut over and timber­ ed districts have occurred during the months of October and November. The United States government Is planning the erection in Michigan of an experimental station In the in­ terests of forestry. This station will be located in the cut-over lands in the vicinity of Houghton lake. Every fanner should have at least a few good dairy cows. They insure a steady de­ pendable income. Not only that, but will keep a farm up to a high standard. It costs in Michigan 376.64 per year to educate a child in the public schools. Dairy men profit by engaging in this paying enterprise. This bank is interested in the development of community wealth and if we can assist you in forging ahead, feel free to consult with us. There were 350 cases ot aband­ onment of wife and children in Mich­ igan during the first six months of the present year. Of these cases 121 of the culprits were prosecuted, six acquitted and but 56 escaped. Farmers& Merchants Bank Jffi NASHVILLE NEWS National Editorial Association..

Strange, mys­ terious sound* which are not easily accounted for, come wafted on the winds of the silent night.. One night in camp in the northern wilderness on their recent deer-bunting trip Theo Bera wan awakened from ■lumber by a sound, which had no place in tho forest fastness, Lt was unmistakeably the purr of a motor­ cycle, and Theo couldn’t figure out "how come." Finally he nudged his dad in the ribe and said, "Dad, what’* that'noise?" Warren listen­ ed, but no noise could he hear and dropped off in another nap. Again Theo awakened him with a poke in the slats and said, "Dad, listen. There's some fellow out there trying to start a motorcycle. Listen a moment and you’ll hear him." Dad listened, and sure enough a moment later he heard the "Put, put. put," very much like a motorcycle endeav­ oring to get under way, then dying out. And all Warren said was "Me down and go to sleep, boy; that’s nothing but a- partridge drumming." But do you know they couldn't make Theo believe any such fool stuff as that? No, sir. And in the light of the early morning he trudg­ ed a couple of mile* down the path to the tote road, to find the tracks of that motorcycle, and now he just knows it must have been an airplane, for he is most darned.sure that no living bird ever made such an exact imitation of a balky gasoline motor. Now that the &cason approaches Speaking about hosiery salesmen that Invade the local precinct* about every new moon, reminds *us of the soap salesman that put in an apTerance at the Eaton county fair at Charlotte last fall. This fakir put up a stand on the grounds and after calling a big crowd around him, calmly announced he had the best soap that had ever been manufactur­ ed since the day the Pilgrim Fathers landed on the east coast. To make his statement more im­ pressive he borrowed a handkerchief from an unsuspecting native, then he proceeded to remove one of the -wheels from an old lumber wagon and smeared tte handkerchief liber­ ally with axle grease, then he applied bls soap, dipped the handkerchief in a pail of water and, lo and behold.

And the unfailing formula for accomplishing these ambi­ tions is to make Nashville attractive—then, keep it so. s~--: There is plenty of room in our town for citizens of the right sort. They will come, if Nashville broadcasts an inviting message beyond the borders of this Community. •i For years, country populations have gone cityward, But the peak has been reached. The tide has turned. City folks are flocking out to the small and medium-sized towns—where they find more joy in living. . 1 I Nashville can reap its share of this vast number of home seekers. But am­ bitions have got to be backed up by performance. We must be receptive to the coming of good citizens. We must stimulate pride and patriotism within the community. We must make certain that we can provide all the essentials that make for moral and physical well-being of all who would come among us. K'-- Good government, thriving industries, good schools and churches, pure water, clean streets, better roads, opportunities for the rising generation, a progressive community spirit and true co-operation—all make for a splendid inducement to folks looking for a real home town.

COMING—“THE COVERED WAGON" FEAR LACK OF TRAINED FARMERS IN MICHIGAN. Danger of a lack of trained farm­ ers in Michigan to keep agriculture where it belongs as the backbone of the state’s prosperity is indicated in a report just issued by the Blue Val­ ley Creamery Institute. Not only is a marked decrease in the enrollment of “Junior Farmers” noted in the state college of agriculture, but a survey of thirty-four of the princi­ pal agricultural institutions of the country, proves this condition to be general. The registration In the Michigan Agricultural College at East Lansing for 1924 is 419 as compared to 746 In 1915, the report states. This is a decrease of 327 or almost half over that of nine years ago, and a drop of 47 from last year. After 1915, which was the top-notch year in reg­ istrations, 1916 was the highest year with 725. The next highest year was 1919 with 532 and since then there has Deen a steady decrease which culminated in the new low mark this year. A similar decline has been throughout the country, the average enrollment having dropped from 458 In 1914 to 289 In the pres­ ent year. “Where are our trained agricul­ tural leaders of the future to come from if this decrease continues?” is the question raised by Henry Sand­ holt, executive secretary of the insti­ tute in announcing the findings of the investigation of farm education­ al conditions. “This is the vital question in the development of our I basic Industry. We need greater ef­ ficiency In agricultural production, better feeding, better breeding and better farm management We need more trained leaders and the “Jun­ ior Farmers” are the ones upon whom we have to depend tor the fu­ ture betterment of farm conditions.

Buch excitement, such happiness Tommy, after his recovery from *ur- The cause of this marked decrease in agricultural college enrollment is probably due to the fact, the Insti­ tute’s report concluded, that farmers have not had the money to send their sons to get this needed training and because they have not the vision to see that there is bound to be a big Improvement in conditions which would make agriculture a more prof­ itable and attractive life work for the, younger generation. WHAT MY NEIGHBOR SAYS. Is of Interest to Nashville Folks. When one has had the misfortune to suffer from backache, headaches, dizziness, urinary disorders and oth­ er kidney ills—and has found relief from all this sickness and suffering, that person’s advice is of untold value to friends and neighbors. The following case is only one of many thousands, but it is that of a Nash­ ville resident. Who could ask for a better example? Mrs. Jim F. Thylor, Main street, says: “I had backache, headaches and a weakness of the kidneys. A friend recommended Doan's Pills and I got two boxes. They relieved me of the trouble. When I have any return of the complaint I depend on. Doan’s.” Mrs. Taylor added: “Doan’s have never failed to reUeve me of symp­ toms of kidney complaint.” Don't Price 60c, at all dealers. simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Taylor had.

Of course, it’s not pretty, but—doesn't ft seem to stand for something big and— well, indomitable? Think of all the miles of tunnels and stopes, of all the work that has gone into making them." She .stopped to laugh at her own en­ thusiasm before she added: “Goldbnnks stands to me for the hope In tbe human heart that rises in spite of everything. It Is the product of an Idea." Miss Seldotf gave n little lift to her superb shoulders. “You’re Incredibly romantic, Moya. It’s only a scramble for money, after all.” "Don’t know about that. Miss Sel­ don." disagreed Ctaptaln Kllmeny. “Of course It’s gold they all want. But gold stands for any number of good things, tangible and abstract—success, you know, and home, and love, and kiddles, the totter development of the race—all that sort of thing." ‘Ts that what it means to the hlghgrnders;' too?" Joyce let her smiling eyes rest with Innocent. Impudence in those of the miner. Kllmeny showed no sign of discom­ fiture. Hls gaze met hers fully aud steadily. "Something of that sort. I suppose." “Just what Is a highgrader?” Moya held her breath. The debonair lightness of the question could not rob it of its significance. Nobody but Joyce would have dared such a home thrust. Jack laughed dryly. “A hlgbgradcr Is a miner who saves the compdny for which he works the troubl^tJf having valuable ore smelted." “But doesn’t the ore belong to the rornpany?" 'There’s a difference of opinion ■bout that. Legally It does, morally it doesn’t—not all of it. The man who risks hls life and the support’ of bls family by working underground Is en­ titled to a share of the profits. “He gets hls wages, doesn't he?" “Enough to live on—If he doesn't want to live too high. But Is that all he is entitled to? Your friend”—he waved a band toward Verinder, puffing ap the trail a hundred yards below— 'draws millions of dollars In dividends from the work of tnese men. What does he do to earn it?” "You’re a soclnllst," charged Joyce gayly. “Or Is It an anarchist that berleves sneb dreadful thlngaT' “Mr. Kilmeny doesn’t quite beilcre ■Il he says," suggested Moya quietly. “Don’t IT" Behind Jack's quizzical ■mile there was a hint of earnestness.

'Then If you believe that, you ought to-to a hlgbgrader yourself.” “Joyce," reproved Moya, aghast. "I mean, of course. In principle." her friend amended, blushing slightly at her own audacity. Her Impndence amused the miner. T^rtops I am—in principle." "But only In principle,'' she mur­ mured. tilting a -adlant challenge at him. “Exactly—in principle," he agreed. There was humor In hls saturnine face. •Joyce ventured one daring step fur­ ther. •'But of course In practice—" “You should ha\e been a lawyer, Miss Seldon." he countered. “If you were, njy reply would be that by ad­ vice of counsel I must decline to an- G.W.atUNOHAH CO. Moya. She Is Just perfect in the role. I know, because she hears all mine.” Moya flashed resentfully. She did not intend to set up for a prude, but she certainly did not mean to treat hlghgradlng as if it were a joke. 11 Jack Kllmeny was Innocent, why did he not Indignantly. deny the charge? “Afraid Hl have to be excused," she said, a little stiffly. “Miss Dwight doesn't approve ot me,’’ explained the miner. "If 1 con­ fessed to her she would probably turo me over to the sheriff.” . Tbe girl’s quick eyes flashed into his. “I don't approve of taking ore that doesn't belong to one—If that’s what you mean, Mr. Kilmeny." Jack liked the flare of temper In her. She was very human In her impulses. At bottom, too. he respected the In­ tegrity of mind that refused to com promise with what she thought wa» wrong. But no admission of this showeo tn his strong brown face. Hls mor­ dant eyes mocked her while he went Into a whimsical argument to show that hlghgradlng was really a virtue, since ft tended to keep the rich from growing richer and the poor poorer. He wanted tc know by what moral right Verinder owned the Mollie Gib­ son and the Never Quit any more than he did. The mine owner, puffing from the exertions of the last bit of ascent, ex­ claimed Indignantly: “Own 'em, by Jove! Doesn’t a Johnny own what he buys and pays for?" "You don’t suppose that when God or Nature or the First Cause created that ore vein a million years ago He had Dobyans Verinder In mind ss tbe owner," derided Kllmeny. ’That’s all anarchistic rot. you know. Those mines .are my property, at least a commanding Interest. They’re mine because I bought the shares. Government la founded on a respect for property rights.” "So Tve observed,” retorted Jack dryly. “I’d back that opinion, too. If I owned half of Goldbanks.” “I suppose Mr. Kllmeny*8 hlghgrad­ lng friends are superior to law. It isn't necessary for them to abide by the rales society has found best for its protection." Moya suggested. The engaging smile of the accused rested upon Miss Dwight. “I met yon and your friends In a motorcar yester­ day.

HAZARD (C. lIKJfMUn. N«wwp«*«r Vitaa.) ----------- T HAD been a strange Christ­ mas Rve. The falling now had changed to sleet and tbe sleet bnd turned to rain. The dia-ippolnted children had hung tlrelr stockings by tbe chimney with fears that the reindeer and the sleigh of Santa Claus would not be able to bring him over the muddy roads. Their dreauis were disturbed by vIbIodb of wreckage and bundles scattered about At tbe church party there had been a Santa Claus, but when hls mask slipped down and be put up hls hand to tlx It they knew that he was not the real one. There had been three wise men, following a star, too, but their white whiskers and pointed sticks had frightened the girls who were the .angels so that they could not sing. And now It seemed as though the real Christmas would be a failure, too. It looked that way to others on that dreary evening. It seemed to two travelers who were making their tfay towards the farm house that they could not keep their closely wrapped bundle dry much longer and That the night was very dark indeed. They were very glad to pass the sleeping bouse and find a refuge In the old barn and a bed on tbe fragrant hay Their long and weary journey was forgotten In the dreams that came to comfort them with pictured hopes, and they were all unconscious of the peace ■nd brightness that had_ succeeded the storm. In the house, however, unconscious oess bad been suspended.

There has been much discussion In the past few years over this question of Christmas trees. In view of the rapid depletion of our forests and the Increase In the waste land area. There are those who stoutly contend that It Is a foolish custom of pagan origin, not worthy of perpetuation In this enlightened Christian age, and that It is a senseless destruction of millions of young, thrifty trees that are so much needed to supply the tim­ ber requirements of the country. But strangely enough, the foresters as a class, those who are most inter­ ested In conserving tree growth, do not share this concern about the Christmas tree. They are interested In growing trees and having them used for their highest good. If a ten-yearold tree, of which 2,000 or more can be grown upon a single acre, can give so much joy, what better use can be made of the trees? The custom is so well established that it will never be wholly discarded, and why should It be? Is it not the Christmas tree that gives the setting for the celebration? What is more delightful to children than the Christ­ mas tree with Its candles or electric lights, silver trimmings, tinsel and the other things that go with it? Take away the Christmas tree ind you have removed the chief charm. It Is the something that Is eloquent of senti­ ment and that has a much higher value than the cost of the tree. It Is not to be measured by economic con­ siderations or commercial computa­ tions.—Frank Herbert Sweet (©, 1914.

C MILLIONS WILL SEE ECLIPSE MICHIGAN IN DARKENED PATH On Saturday, January 24, ,1825, the moon will, for a short time, get between us and the sun and cut off the whole of the light which we get from its surface. This is not a rare event in Itself, for one or two eclipses of the sun occur every year as anyone who reads the newspa­ pers knows. The unusual character of the event is due to the fact that it occurs in a territory from which the light of the sun has not been wholly obscured by the moon within memory of any one living. If we look over the records of past eclipses and the predictions for future eclipses, we soon see that In any one place there will be a total eclipse of the sun only once in every few hundred years. The coming eclipse will produce darkness over a narrow band of territory which stretches from a point somewhat west of Duluth and after crossing northern Michigan and Wisconsin is seen in Connecticut and then passes out to sea. The eclipse of next January will be seen by more millions of people SETTER rn than any that has ever occurred. In tho map which has been Issued by the Naval Observatory it is seen that the southern boundary of the band over which the sun will be totally eclipsed just covers, Duluth, (Minn.) Menominee, (Mich.), Frankfort. (Mich.), London. Ont.), Dunkirk. (N. Y.)» Wilkes-Barre. (Pa.), and New York City north of Central Park. Well inside the northern edge are Manistique, (Mich.), Toronto, (Ont) Auburn Hudson, (N.J.), New Bed- ing these places on a map wheth­ er his own residence in within the bands. If it is, he is advised not to make any engagements which will keep him busy between nine o’clock and nine-thirty eastern standard time, on that morning. The observations which are to be made by the observatories within the region of totality are not yet fully known. Some of them will devote the brief two minutes during which the eclipse lasts to photographing that marvelous fringe of light which is never seen except at a total eclipse and which is known as the corona. Others will try to get accurate posi­ tions of the moon and also photo­ graphs of It so that Its size and shape shall be better known. It Is doubtful at present if any special tests will be made on the deflection of light known as the Einstein effect. The sun is quite low down in the sky and the accurate work required for thia purpose will not be easy. The American Astronomical society usu­ ally has a committee to coordinate plans for observing the eclipse and to secure cooperation between differ­ ent observatories whenever It is de­ sired. This summer it took a furth­ er step in appointing a special com­ mittee of which Professor E. W. Brown of Yale University is chair­ man for the purpose of giving all the information at its disposal concern­ ing the eclipse for the benefit of those who wish to observe IL Full description of what may be seen be­ fore, during and after the eclipse if the weather is fine will be published and it will also try to explain how . anyone with a camera or even with­ out ose. can make observations that will fherease our knowledge of as­ tronomy. It is a rare opportunity for all of us because very few of those living within this territory have ever seen a total eclipse and very few will ever see another. The eclipse will not be total for Barry county as we are about a hun­ dred miles south of the total eclipse path, through Benzie, Missaukee and Gladwin counties, and the Houghton lake section.

The beautiful Lady of the Snow with all her Snowflake Imps In attendance flitted about the village street^ sliding gayly down the shop windows and flirting with the passers­ by. The Man and the Child made their way through the drifts toward the group of houses. The Child ran and danced about, now tn fronts now be­ hind the Man, shouting and laughing.

No one would ever rec- ould have to walk the streets like sensible thing to do, but he wonld wait and let the Woman tell her. As they neared the cottages the Child threw out her arms joyously as though she would embrace the whole world of Snowflakes before she left them. And they, wild with delight, fuught for a place upon her little hood and shoulders that she might carry them away with her. “Oh, Mother. Mother, the Snowflakes have played with me and have told me the prettiest stories," cried the Child as she drew the Woman's hand across, her <*old, damp cheek. “And I have seen Santa Claus. He is visiting the shops now but be promised to come here tonight" She stood on her toes and clapped her hands In her excite­ ment, and the words tumbled over one another as she tried to tell of all the beautiful toys she had seen. The Woman sighed and looked re­ proachfully at the Man. So he had not told the Child. Why did he always put it off and leave It for her to do? The long discussions on the subject the dread of spoiling the Child's happi­ ness and the arguments as to which should tell her, had unsettled the Woman, usually so gentle and even tempered. She was vexed. She turned to the Child wearily, a little Impatient­ ly. She would tell her now. “Dear, haven't you learned yet that there is no Santa Claus? You will not hang up your stockings tonight, for be isn't coming to fill them." Then as the Child stood looking at her with wild, wandering eyes, she ex­ claimed. “Why do you stare at me so? Don't you see we have been playing make-believe with you all these years? There Is no Santa Claus, and you are old enough now to forget such foolish stories. It Is expensive and tiresome to keep up this farce and we have de­ cided never to have Christmas again.” To the Child it was all a strapge muddle. Something dreadful had hap­ pened, but as yet she could not under- “No Santa— But I have just seen him, Mother. He talked to me this af­ ternoon at the shops." Wrought up as she was, the Wom­ an's voice sounded cold and unfeeling. ”Go to bed now. You will understand better in the morning." The Child obeyed silently. AH her joyousness was gone. Th- laughter had died out of her eyes and in its place The Man hesitated. Then, as though' he were sick* of the subject, “I don't know. It Is all your doing. It Is you who has nervous prostration at Christ­ mas after worrying about presents." “I do not," she denied hotly. “And you suggested this anyway. I wish we had never heard of Christmas 1” Their Christmas Eve was spent In quarreling, and that night they dreamed of horrible plots that Santa was planning against them. A pale moon with Icicles on hls whis­ kers watched . over the little village. The Snow Lady was asleep and the Snowflake Imps had settled down to rest. One cottage gleamed colder and whiter than the others and seemed to stand apart as though not of them. The Spirit of Christmas tried the door softly. “Why. it is barred against me!" he murmured sadly. "Thlr will never do." So he walked about looking for a place to get in until he came to the window where the Child slept. Ten­ derly he sprinkled happiness and joy upon her until her lips parted in a smile. Then he flew past her to where the Man and the Woman slept To them he gave of all hls essences. The Woman wakened first, and with strange new feelings, she called the Man. They gazed long at each other. “Merry Christmas,” whispered the Woman. And with wonder and Joy, peace and good will all mingled together, the Man took her in his arms. “We must have Christmas, after ail," he said. And the Woman nodded, het*1 eyes beaming with happiness. "I must go to the shops and bring Santa Claus for the Child before she wakes.” ' “Walt," cried the Woman, and laugh­ ing, she brought from their hiding place an assortment of beautiful toys. "Mother and Father sent them and I just couldn't send them back.” With shining faces and happy hearts, the Man and the Woman hung stock­ ings by the fireplace and heaped them with playthings. “We will tell her sht had a bad dream," said the Man. “No,” said the Woman softly. “We will tell her that Santa is the good Christmas fairy, who will always be welcome here." large tears trickled down her cheeks PerAaps it It and a great aob shook her Uttle frame.

It was trying, for this was the last day of rural free delivery No. 3. The route had been started ns an experi­ ment, but now was thought to hardly be worth while, and was to be dropped. John Holden had been one of the strongest advocates for It. and had ob­ tained the route, leaving hls oldest boy to look after the farm. The salary was not large, but in a year or so would en­ able him to stock the farm as he had wanted to stock It all hls life. At length the Rnow was cleared from sufficient space for the gate to be opened and swung back. Holden ted hls horse through the shed, then unharnessed and took him to the stable, where he fed him generously with the hay which Benson threw down from the mow. Then the two men returned to the wagon, and Hriden quickly arranged hls maH Into a compact package. “We’ll take it right Into the house," said Benson. “It’ll be safe there tlU you’re able to go on."

If he were a gentleman, ~WMLS EUERM0OW S4A1LES M he couldn’t betray a woman. But how far would the code of her world gov­ ern him? He was primeval man. Would the savagery In him break bounds? Within five minutes she found out Jack Kllmeny, ta evening dress, was jesting ta animated talk with India when tbe engaged couple re-entered tbe room. He turned, the smile still came forward beside Verinder. The little man was strutting pompously to­ romg Kllmeny la appeal for charity. as well as a hint of defiant justifica­ tion. of excited voices. Joyce disappeared into the arms of her friends, while Farquhar and Captain Kllmeny shook hands with the beaming millionaire and congratulated him. Jack's hands were filled with sheet music, but he nodded across to hls successful rival. “You’re a lucky man to have won so true a heart Mr. Verinder," he said composedly. Joyce heard the words and caught the bidden irony. Her heart was ta her throat Did he mean to teU more? Presently It came hls turn to wish her joy. Jack looked straight at her. There was a hard smile on hls sar­ donic face. “I believe the right man has won you,. Miss Seldon. All marriages aren’t made in heaven, but— I’ve been hoping Mr. Verinder would lose out because he wasn’t good enough for you. But I’ve changed my mind. He's just the man for you. Hope you’ll always love him as much as you do now." Joyce felt the color beat Into her cheeks. She knew now that Kllmeny was’not going to betray her, but she knew too that he understood and de­ spised her. CHAPTER XII A Warning Joyce, a lover of luxury, usually had a roll and coffee In bed as a sub­ stitute for breakfast. Sometimes she varied this by appearing late at the table and putting the attendants to unnecessary trouble. This she always paid for with murmurs of apology and sweet smiles of thanks. On the second morning after the announcement of her engagement to Dobyans Verinder she came down to find the dining-room empty except for the omnibus. She opened wide eyes of surprise. “Dear me! Am I late?" "Yes'm." She glanced at the watch on her wrist “How Inconsiderate of me! 1 didn’t realize the time. Would you mind calltag a waiter?’ Meanwhile Joyce began on her grapefruit Almost simultaneously a sound of voices reached her. Men were coming Into the parlor that ad­ joined the breakfast-room. The nlgh-pitched voice of her af­ fianced lover was the first she recog­ nized. “—tonight! Sure be said to­ night T Joyce judged that the rough tones of the answer came from a Working­ man. 'That’s right Tonight Bell said. He waa to bring hls wagon round to Kllmeny’s at eleven and they were going to haul tbe ore to Utah Junction." A third speaker, evidently Bleyer, the superintendent cut in quietly. “Bell said It was to be a big ship­ ment didn’t he?’ "Yep. Worth sixty or seventy thou­ sand, he figured." “Was Bell drunk?’ “I wouldn’t say drunk. He had been drinking a good deal. Talkative like. He let it out as a secret y*undeistand." "Anyone there beside youF “A miner by the name of Peale." “Know the man?” It was Verinder that asked the question and Bleyer that answered. “Yes. A bad lot. One of those that insulted the young ladles." “Anyhow, he won’t warn Kllmeny." "Not after the mauUng that young man gave him. He's still carrying the •cars,” Bleyer replied with a low laugh. He added briskly, after a mo­ ment “What do you expect to get out of this, RoUlnsF The workman seemed to answer with some embarrassment. “Thought you might give me that lease ta the Mollie Gibson I spoke to you about, Mr. Bleyer." "It's yours—if this comes out as you say, my man. I'd give more tlmn that to call the turn on Mr. Hlgbgrader Kllmeny,” Verinder promised. “And o’ course, you won’t give it away that I told." “Certainly not” The arrival of a waiter eliminated Joyce as a listener, for the first thing the man did was to close the door be­ tween the parlor and the dining-room. But she hc.d heard enough to know that Jack Kllmeny was ta danger ot falling into a trap that was being set for him. Verinder had him at last Just as be had promised that he would get him. No doubt they would have witnesses and would send him to prison as they had threatened. There was a hard glitter in the eyes of the young woman. Perhaps Mr. Hlghgrader Kllmeny, as Verinder bad called him, would not ba ao prodigal stood in the criminal dock. —— must. be to get back to Verinder. Love’s young dream, and that sort of The jeer that ran through hls masked insolence brought tbe angry color to the cheeks of Joyce. She bit her Up to keep back tears of vexation, bnt it was not until she was ta her room with Moya that the need for a confidant overflowed into speech. “Did you ever hear anything so hateful? He made love to me on the hill. ... I let him. : . ., He knows I ... am fond of him. 1 told him that I loved him. And Moya stared at her ta amaze. “Do you mean that you let Mr. Kllmeny make love to you an hour or two be­ fore you became engaged to Mr. Verin­ der?" “For heaven’s sn^e, don’t be a prude, Moya," Joyce snapped irritably. “I told you I was fond of him, didn't I? How could I help his kissing me . . . or help liking to have him? He ought to be glad. Instead, he Insults me." Miss Seldon's self-pity reached the acute stage of sobs. “I was in love with him. Why Is he so hard?" "Perhaps he thinks that since he Is ta love with you and you with him that gives him some claim." Moya sug­ gested dryly. "Of course that's what he thinks. But it's absurd. Tm not going to marry Dobyans Verinder because I want to. He knows that as well as you do. Why does be blame me, then? '£ “Mr. Jack Kllmeny Is Going to Gat Into Trouble This Vary Night. They've Laid a Plot— Goodness knows. It’s hard enough to marry the man without having my friendfl mis understand." Moya caked an unnecessary ques­ tion. “Why do you marry him, thenF “You know perfectly well,” flashed Joyce petulantly. “I’m taking blm be­ cause I must” “Like a bad-tasting dose of medi­ cine?" Her friend nodded. T can't let him go. I just can't Jack Kllmeny ought to see that" “Oh, he sees it, but you cant blame blm for being bitter.” At the recollection of his impudence anger flared up ta Joyce. "Let him be as bitter as he pleases, then. I happen to know something he would give a good deal t learn. Mr. Jack Kllmeny Is going to get Into trouble this very night They're laid She stopped, warned by the tense stillness of Moya. “YesF asked the Irish girt “Oh, well! It doesn’t matter." “Who has laid a plotF Bit by bit Moya forced out of her the snatch of conversation she had overheard while at breakfast. “It’s a secret You’re not to teU anyone," Joyce protested. In her heart the Irish girl did doubt that Jack was guilty, but this would not prevent her from saving him if she could. There came to her s swift vision of two helpless girls ta a cabin with drinktag ruffians, of the entry of a man into the picture, of hls fight against odds to nave her and Joyce from Insult. Beside this abstract justice became a pale and misty virtue. “Of course you’ll not tell anyone,” Klltneny's ceatesapt tort ventral tbe iegtatatarea and put through whatever blils they please. The whole snchlnery of government le owned by our masters. What can It waa like Moya that aba twrriod her warning Immediately and directly. She walked toward his boarding house, thinking that she might catch him at lunch. A quick step on the board-walk be­ hind her caught the girl’s attention. Almost at the same moment a voice hailed her. “Whither away, Miss Dwight?" She turned, heart beattag fast T was looking for you, Mr. Kllmeny." “And you found me. What luck— for Jack Kllmeny!" Hls friendly smile—the same one that had claimed comradeship on the Gunnison—beamed upon her with Its hint of Irony. A miner with n dinner bucket was coming toward them. Moya spoke quickly. “I want to see you . . . alone. I’ve something In,portant to tell you." Hls cool eyes searched her face alertly. “Come up with me to the old Pandora dump." They took a side street that ran up a hlU, presently came to the end of It, and stopped at the foot of a trail lead­ ing to the abandoned shaft-house. The girl fired her news at him point­ blank. “Mr. Verinder has found out what you mean to do tonight and you are to be trapped.’* “What I mean to do?" he repeated. “About the ore—shipping it or some­ thing. I don’t know exactly—some­ body was drinking and talked, I think." Moya, watching Kllmeny’s face, saw only the slightest change. The eyes seemed to harden and narrow the least ta the world. “Tell me all you know about ItF She repeated what Joyce had over­ heard, adding that her friend had asked her to tell him. The faintest Ironic smile touched hls face. "Will you thank Miss Seldon for me, both for this and many other favors F “You don’t understand Joyce. You’re not fair to her," Moya said impul­ sively. “Perhaps not." A sudden warmth kindled ta hls eyes. “But I know who my real friends are. I’m fair to them, neighbor." The color beat into her face, but she continued loyally. “May I ... as­ sume you have a kindly interest ta Joyce?" Til listen to anything you care to tell me. I owe my friend. Miss Dwight, that much." “She told me ... a little about you and her. Be fair to her. Remem­ ber how she has been brought up. All her life It has been drilled Into her that she must make a good match. It’s a shameful thing. I hate it. But . . . what can. a girl like Joyce doF “You justify herF T understand her. A decision was forced on her. She bad no time to choose. And—if you'll forgive my saying so—I think Joyce did wisely, since she Is what she is.” “Of course she did," he answered bitterly. “Think of her. She doesn't lore him, but she sacrifices her feeling to what she considers her duty." “Shall we substitute ambition for dutyF "If you like. Her position is not a happy one. but she must smile and be gay and hide her heartache. You can afford to be generous, Mr. Kllmeny." “I’ve been a fool,” he admitted dryly. “The turn that things have taken is the best possible one for me. But I'm not quite prepared to thank Miss Seidon yet for having awakened me." She saw that hls vanity was stung more than bls heart. Hls Infatuation for her bad been of the senses. The young woman shifted to another issue. “You’ll be careful tonight, won’t doing. It is against tbe law, all right, but I try to see that the workmen get ••me of tbe profits they earn." “Would the operators—what would they do If they proved you guilty of highgrading?* "It Is hard to prove. Ore can’t eas­ ily be identified." He smiled down upon her with tbe easy recklessness that distinguished him. "I don’t think it would have run quite to a prison sentence. The bur­ den of proof lies on the accuser.- Be­ cause I am In possession of rich ore, It does not follow that I did not come by it legitimately. Ore can’t be sworn to UJce bric-a-brac. I may have shipped this ta from South Africa, so far as the law knows. Bleyer knows that I figure be would have played hls hand ta the Goldbanks way." “And how would that beF "He would forget the law, too, just as we’ve done on our side. A posse sf men would have fallen on mo maybe after I had got out of town, and they would have been masked so that I could not swear to them." “Why, this is highway robbery." . He laughed- "We don’t use such big words out here, ndTam. Just a hold-up—a perfectly legitimate one, from Slayer's viewpoint—and it would have left me broke." "Broke I" He nodded. “Dead brake.

That wagon load of ore Is worth—unless I miss my guess badly—about sixty thousand dollars." “Dear me. So much as thatF She could not quite keep a note of sar­ casm out of her voice. "And have you It ta a safety deposit vaultF Hls cool gaze took her ta quietly. He was willing to bet hls last dollar on her loyalty, and It was like blm to back hls judgment ta one wild throw. “Nat exactly.

Since the Inner man found expression ta that lithe body with the undulating flow of wellpacked muscles.

A number of yearn ago a young­ ster by the name of Alton J. Hager was graduated from the Nashville schools and hiked out into the world to make his way. He’s making it, too. For a time he was in the lum­ ber business at Bellevue, but he wanted a larger field and he sold out and went to Lansing. He Is now one of the leading business men of the capitol city, has two or three big lumber yards, and is recognized as one of the real hustlers of Lansing. Just at present, as a member of the chamber of commerce and of the luncheon clube, he is hustling to in­ sure the construct ion of a great new hotel, something that Lansing badly nneds. and the Lansing Capitol News in a recent issue carried in its edi­ torial columns the following com­ mendatory reference to him, under the caption of "Joviai Persevering Al Hager, a Real City Bulkier”: There is human Interest in most every situation. Lansing's Com­ munity Hotel project, a campaign exception to this axiom, and the cen­ ter of the human interest In thia en­ terprise is the huge, energetic form of jovial, persevering Al. J. Hager, general chairman of the campaign. Lansing needs the new hotel— there is no denying that, but how to get it Is another question, the solu­ tion of which is a hard nut to crack. In this breach you will find genial Al., plugging up a loophole here, cutting red tape there and withal, perspiring perseverlngly despite dif­ ficulties that would entirely discour­ age a less stalwart man. What is the reason? Simple enough—Al. believes In hla cause. As a mMn who has helped build up a bu beta ntla I business tin Lansing and one who always has stood for Its best interests. Hager knows that 6ne of the paramount needs to the future growth of Lansing is a moern, ^up-to-date hotel capable of en*-»««inlng our guests in proper *aahion and reflecting prosperity and hospitality to business men who vis­ it the Capitol City. Al. Hager quotes several real ee•••»* dealers to the effect that the nrooosed hotel site is worth from 22 250 32.800 a front foot. That should be sufficient answer to those viewing the project more in the light of a subscription rather than a straight out-and-out investment. Like Al.. The Capitol Naws believes that it la a worthwhile Investment and along this line has made Us subscription. Our hats off to AL J. Hager. If the Community Hotel project proves successful It will be a lasting monu­ ment to thia loyal Lansing citizen. M. A. C. TO SEND FARM K NEWS BY RADIOPHONE.

BUILDING DANCE PAVIUON AT THORNAPPLE LAKE LAKE HOUSE RESORT TO HAW LARGEST AND FINEST PA­ VILION AND DANCE FLOOR DC COUNTY. Construction Work Under Way and Foundations to be Ready for Business in Early Spring. The Lake House Resort, at Thorn­ apple lake, already the most popular summer resort in this section of the state, is bound to become immense­ ly more popular the coming season by reason of extensive improvements which are already well under way. An immense new danoe pavilion is to be erected, the largest and finest in the county, and the work is al­ ready under way. The new pavilion is to be right down on the beach, just east of the big toboggan slide. Heavy concrete foundations are now being put in and active construction work on the building is to start as soon as tbe foundations are properly cured. Tbe new pavilion is to be 50 x 100 feet tn size, will be provided with the very highest class of a dance floor, and no pains nor expense will be spared to make it complete in every detail. Refreshment rooms, check rooms and all modern Improvements are to be part of the new building, which will provide pleasure-seekers with the finest amusement palace in this part of the country. This new pavilion will provide tha one thing needed to make the Lake House resort complete in every de­ tail. and its lack has been felt for several seasons, the small hail in the hotel building, which has hitherto been used as a dance hall, bavins been far too small to accommodate the crowds which patronize this popular resort. When the new pa­ vilion is completed, there will be a. floor large enough to provide room for several hundred people to enjoy the dancing. Messrs. Cole & Wade are to be commended for their enterprise in constantly improving their beauti­ ful resort in every way possible and their many customers and friends will be more than pleased with this new evidence of their enterprise. We know of no more beautiful re­ sort in this part of the state than thia one at Thornapple lake. There is splendid shade, beautiful large lawns, an excellent bathing beach, which is being constantly improved, the finest toboggan slide In this part of the state, plenty of good boats, and there is no lake in the southern part of the state where ihere 1b more diversified and better fishing than at Thornapple. Hie Lake House is large and the accommodations are excellent, the cuisine all that could be desired and the atmosphere of the place always homelike and Inviting. It has been constantly growing in. popularity, many people from lower Michigan and from other states finding it greatly to their liking for their summer outing, and now with the addition of this wonderful big dance pavilion its popularity is sure to increase still more. The proprietors hope to have tbe new pavilion ready for an opening in tbe early spring, this depending of course upon the weather condi­ tions during the winter, but it will certainly be ready before the regu­ lar resort season opens. POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT INFORMATION SERVICE The shop early, mail early cam­ paign Inaugurated by Postmaster General New last year proved to be an unqualified success. It was of great benefit to tbe people and also enabled post office employes to de­ liver all the Christmas mail before noon on December 25. The De­ partment again this year asks tha hearty cooperation of the public In order that the record mad* last year may be equalled. If not excelled. When you shop early and mail early you are helping the clerks in the postoffioe to eat their dinner home and you are greatly benefitting yourselves.

Some ot the Clooks tales that have been told have been and a will of her own, but of "lands and fine bouses and cash In the bank." Both of her parents were dead, and Cecilia had inherited from them her good looks, her strong will, and her money. Jack Edgecomb was a year or two older than Cecilia when ids father died, and had been so busy enjoying himself all hls life that, as he said, he “had not had time to get married.’’ He had hunted big game In Africa, yachted and traveled. The death of hls father now forced Jack, for the first time In hls life, to make an ef­ fort to comprehend that complicated and somewhat mysterious science called business, for tbe Investments and financial Interests of the elder Edgecomb had been many, various and extended. ' Among hls father's papers Jack found a bundle of documents relating to the “Rio V.erde Copper Mines," with a memorandum, "See Steinltz 4 Co." Unable to make head or tail out of the papers, Jack looked up Steinltz 4 Co., in the directory and went to the address given. The outer office was a large room where, beyond a little ralled-off space, were several clerks, most of them well along In years. “Please take my card to Mr. Btelnltz,’’ said Jack, and an angular typist, rising without a word, took the card and disappeared. Presently she returned and motioned Jack toward the inner office. He en­ tered and, to hls surprise, saw that the room was tenanted only by a re­ markably pretty young woman of be­ tween 25 and 30 who said: "Sit down, won’t you, Mr. Edgecomb T' StelnItz, if I might,’’ replied Jack. "Oh, that’s all right." laughed the young lady. ’There isn’t any Stelnits. I am Steinltz 4 Co. People are often surprised. You see there was a Steinltz when father first went into business; but he died long before I was born and father kept the old firm name. And when father died, and I took over the business. I kept it also. Had to. Imagine trying to carry on business under the name of Cecilia Patterson I” "Are you Cecilia Patterson?” cried Jack. T have often heard of you." "Of course you have," replied Ce­ cilia. "and I of you; and have want­ ed to hear at first hand an account of your elephant shooting. But bnsl- almost unbelievable in their exlrem i cruelty, but about the meaneet man we have heard of lately is one who swiped his mother-in-law’s false teeth. We haven't much of an idea what the wretch did it for. It may have been that she lived with him and that he wanted to keep her from eating too Inuch; it might have been that he had an idea that in this way he could keep her from talking back at blm; it may have been that he thought she looked better without them; oh, it may have been one of a hundred different reasons, any one of which he might have consid­ ered sufficient. The result, however, must have been unsatisfactory, tor we understand he has restored the teeth to their rightful owner and that he is trying to get away with the ali­ bi that he picked them up by mistake for hls own and stuck them in his pocket, and that after he got down town he started in to wash them up and put them in place and found they either wouldn’t fit or that they moved so fast that he couldn’t get them in place. The neighbors say’ there has been a noticeable coolness in the atmosphere around the house since this thing happened and some of them think it is going to be the cause of a hard ■ winter. This is practically all we know about the matter, but if you are anxious for further details we presume Jack Griffin will take pleasure in giving them to you. Unless he tells you where to spend the winter, as ho did us when we asked him about it. Speaking about false teeth, Ab says he woke up the other morning frofn a bad dream in which he had swallowed hls false teeth and they were trying to eat their way out through the front of his back, and that he kept right on feeling that way for several days, and that all tbe sympathy he got from ol* Doc Morris was that "It’s just a little touch of a prevailing epidemic.’; Fella gets more sympathy from the undertaker than he does from a doctor, anyway, and appreciates it just about as much. For ourselves, if we had any sym­ pathy to spare around about now, we would hand It out to the township treasurer.

But I sanpose your mother gets In extra help, and you all help, too.” It was not impertinent, because it was my best friend speaking. She is J«t frank and sincere. She had dropped into my office after hours, not .to buy insurance from me (yes, I am a fhmale Insurance agent and not a failure at it either!) but to aay “goodby" before herself leaving the city for the holidays. "No, there’s no extra help to be gotten these days In the country any more than here. Not any that’s worth vyhle. So mother does It ail beraeif. But she likes IL Christmas only We said no more ■bout that, but after my friend had gone I remcmbored her clear, frank eyes and the way they had received my reply. They had been slightly skeptical I couldn’t get that skepticism out of my mind. The result was that, after much thought, I suddenly closed office a whole week before Christmas, prac­ tically kidnaped my youngest sister away from her home in a nearby dty—that comfortable home with its full nursery, cook and nurse girl—and whisked her away to the country to mother a little surprise. At first I thought the surprise was to turn out an unpleasant one. We arrived in tbe early afternoon with­ out warning. There was mother in a huge apron, her hair tied up In a towel, the front hall full of brooms and mops, housecleaning. She could not conceal her chagrin from us, we had so suddenly appeared. It certain­ ly was different from our customary homecoming. Then, she met us at the t you to do afl ffs*ve come to the horde that follows on Christmas Eve." Well, at first mother simply.wouldn’t hear of it. We were to be company and Just wait till she got the rooms we were to occupy aired cad made up. Since we were all there, well yre must stay. But we shouldn't drudge. Bhe guessed we worked hard enough, each at our own particular kind of work, all the year, not to have to work when we came home. We wouldn’t listen. We had come for one thing. We laughingly over­ bore her tn all her objections. More than that we called father In from the barn and got him to bundle mother up and take her off for a sleigh ride. “A Sleigh ridel Who ever heard of a sleigh ride and all the parlor furniture in the hall wait­ ing for the parlor to be cleaned!" Well, mother heard of a sleigh ride, and under just those conditions now. She heard of it from her two strongminded daughters, her youngest and her oldesL Father caught our spirit at once and bustled her away. How merrily tbe bells jingled as they whirled away through the snow I Now for it! Marge and I tucked up our skirts, draped ourselves In big aprons and wound towels about our heads, and fell to. It was hard work, but what a lark we made of IL And we had a good supper waiting for mother and father when they got back. And every day that week we did the same. Father whisked mother off In the sleigh to visit old friends in nearby towns, or just for tbe ride. And while they were gone we— husded. By Christmas Eve the house was as shining and tidy ar it would have been had mother been left to herself with iL And Marge bad proved herself a mar­ velous cook, too. There were plea and cal.es. and even tarts, and the ham with doves. The turkey was dressed, too, and the sluffing made. And mother had not so much as put her nose Into'the pantry door. Then the family arrived. Three daughters, with their three husband* and several children apiece, and brothers with their wives and spring. And mother and father them at ths door, mother’s tucked in father's, her hair freshly curled, her black silk rustling. “My," cried Brother-in-law Jim, Nell’s husband, "but you’ve lost ten years, mother! Such bright eyes and pink cheeks I’ve never seen." Marge and I, In the darker back­ ground. nudged each other and giggled. All the others cried the same thing. It was true enough, too. This was a different mother from the rather weary old woman we were accustomed to meeting at holidays here in the open door. • Father spoke up: "You’re dead right children," he said. “Your mother looks like this all the year except at holiday time. Then she just slaves getting ready for you and sort of gets worn out. This year was different. This year she went honeymooning with me instead." Marge and I came forth from hid­ ing. ’’Yes, and hereafter Is always to be different,” we promised. And how it paid! We’d gotten into the way of thinking mother was an old woman. Now we saw her as her neighbors and father saw ner—hearty, brlght-eyrd, carefree. "My, it seems good to be eating other’s cooking,” escaped her that night, over Marge's apple tarts. “But you are naughty children just the same. Marge and you shouldn’t boss ma so I Right in my own house, too 1” The reproach in her eyes, though mild indeed, was for an instant real. Marge caught IL and quicker than I, got up and ran around to mother at her place. There she leaned above her and gave her one of her old. impulsive, childish hugs. ■'Yes, mother dear, it’s pour own Loose. But you’re our own hair freshly curled, behind them the mother.

She cleaned her wrinkled and capa­ ble hands from the dough and turned to see that the fire and kettle of melt­ ed lard vrere just right. They were. Then with deft, experienced fingers she began to drop twisted bits of dough Into the hot lard, which In a few min­ utes changed them to crisp doughnuts. “Such appetites," she nodded to her­ self happily. “Sue an’ Kate an’ May are always just a* hungry as Tom an’ Win, or even Sig Sam who’s grown up an’ steadied down to regular work. Five will rush in from School, an’ Sam later, an* all will grab up doughnuts. An* how they will eat!" She giggled reminiscently. “I do wish daughter Nell could have lived to see ’em grow up so, even May fourteen, an* her twin Win almost as big's hls brother. Nell would have done better by ’em, of course, but Tve done my best." The outer door waa flung open and a rush of many feet crowded into the ball. Grandma looked up expectantly. But the feet stopped at the parlor door, and a subdued hubbub of volcees Grandma righed again, ant bent lower over her work. ’Them flutter­ budgets, Rose an* Jenny, from across the way, an* Tom’s chum, Andy Smith.

But only for a minute, then her thoughts went on in a different key. “I won’t be a crosspatch the day before Christ­ mas," tho moving lips emphasized the change of thought. “They’re just bubblin’, healthy children, an* Barn’s already quieted down from a lively boy, an* the others will in time, an* Rose an* Jenny an* Andy are flatter­ ers just because they can’t bold in. ratin’, an’ ain’t give a thought to Christmas cornin’. I wish—no, they’re just high-spirited young folks makin* ready for a good time. That’s alL" But in spite of herself there was a shadow on Grandma’s face the rest of the day. She had hoped for a big surprise Christmas dinner, all to themselves, with no intruders. She mixed and baked until after midnight, then slipped through the side door to her room. She awakened by a slight step. “W-b-y, Grandma," reproved merry voice of Kate. "Nine o’clock! and you’re still in bed. Not Ill, are youF with a sudden note of anxiety. “No," apologized Grandma—"just overalepL" “All right. Merry Cbristmas 1 And come right into the hall when you’re dressed. You may look now." Grandma rose hurriedly. She heard the voices of Rose and Jenny Cady, and even Ed’s. ‘ “Not even a family Christmas to­ gether," her thought deplored. "And here so early means a lot more fixin’ for the dance. I*d like—for 'em to have a nice time, of course," the thought finished loyally. "Young folks need pleasure." As she opened the door to the hall there came low strains of music. Grandma looked startled for a mo­ ment, then a soft flush of pleased sur­ prise came to her face. It was a Christmas hymn they had been accus- A Christmas Hymn They Had Boon Accuotooved to fllnq. tomed to sing at home when she was a girl, and she had carried it on with her grandchildren. But she never had beard it in music In her eagerness she stepped to the parlor doorway, which was almost bid­ den in greenery. Suddenly two pairs of arms were Inclosing her neck, and one pair belonged to Rose. Other arms were reaching for her; and be­ yond, hesitating Sam, who waa too big to kiss anybody, lifted his anna. “Why—why, my dear*," murmured Grandma, looking bewildered. ’Look up," laughed Sue. Grandma did, and there was a huge bunch of mistletoe over tbe door. “Lead the queen to her throne and render homage," ordered Kate. There was a raised chair decorated with holly and mistletoe, near one side of the nreplace. Grandma was con­ ducted to it deferentially, then the ushers sank to their knees with grave faces but snapping eyes. “Hall to the queen of love and tbe kitchen." they chanted, and Jenny added, “Including cri/»p doughnuts."

And the best pun of it all is toe sound of those jingling walk along the smooth country turn­ pike, fresh autumn air blowing in his face, bringing back half-shaped recol­ lections of autumn day* of his boy­ hood. As It waa, Ben felt wrath and Indignation—wrath at his younger brother for having driven Ben’s car across country and back the day be­ fore without replenishing the gasolln'e supply, sod indignation at himself for □ot having noticed so important a de­ tail before starting out. If things had gone as he expected he would have had ample time to get to Hillcrest for that important legal conference at the appointed hour. Finding himself without gasoline, with his car stopped dead still"on the roadside just five miles from any­ where. didn’t seem like so great an obstacle at first. Ben had an idea that oil he would have to do was to hail the next car, beg some gasoline and then go on his way. The first motorist he had balled proved to be a pretty girl, driving alone with her dog. At eight of tl»e tali, broad-shouldered young man sig­ naling for help at the roadside the pretty girt pulled her soft hat down over her nose and si»ed along all the faster. A middle-aged man and wom­ an came along next In a stuttering old touring car. At sight of Ben the wom­ an held her hands up to her face in apparent dismay and her companion at the wheal squeezed what speed he could out of hls old vehicle. Ben had locked h!s car and hnd started off walking in the direction of a farmhouse some miles back, hoping that there he might be able to tele­ phone to a garage for help or other­ wise find a solution for hls problem, when Margaret Oliver cams spinning along in her comfortable little road­ ster. He hailed her, but barely ex­ pected a response. To his surprise she drew in to the roadside and asked Ben If she could give him a lift Ben ex­ plained that tbe abandoned car further along was hls and that be wanted to get to Hillcrest or to a garage. “TH tell you what I’ll do," said Mar­ garet. opening the door of her tittle car. “You get In here and Hl drive you to Hillcrest” “But you’re going in the opposite direction.” said Ben, who nevertheless took the proffered seat at Margaret’s side. “You don’t want to turn around and go to Hillcrest 1" “It won’t take long,’’ said Margaret. “That certainly la mighty kind of you," said Ben, sincerely grateful. “It’s most uncommonly considerate—" "It’s only what you’d do for a fellow motorist yourself," said Margaret. “I thought It waa a sort of unwritten law of the road to help each other that way." “Not on this road.” said Ben em­ phatically. “I’ve called out to every car or truck that passed and you were the only one that stopped." Margaret laughed. “Probably they are afraid," she suggested. “Haven't you beard of our gentleman bandit that's been holding up motorists lately F “At least you weren’t afraid," said Ben. “I should think people could tell a bandit when they saw one." “Oh, but the people who have been held up Bay that thia one la vary good looking. Anyway, bandit* never look the way you expect they are going to. I might be one, too, but I’m not. and I don’t believe you are, either." They aped along together tn silence for a few minute*. Then as they neared the group of country homes that marked Hillcrest, Ben noticed with satisfac­ tion that be still had time to arrive at the home of hls dlenL Mr. Matthew Clark, ten minutes before tbe hour set for the conference. “You could just drop me at the Clark place,” suggested Ben as they drew Into HlllcresL “Fm no end grateful to you. It’s an important bus­ iness appointment and I understand he’s rather easily Irritated. If Td been late T might have lost out entirely." Margaret laughed. “Yes, Unde Mat­ thew is easily irritated." she said. “I ought to know, because I happen to live with him. Tm hls ward. Ha hates people to be late. But be has hls good traits—Unde Matthew has." Ben felt some confusion and showed it Margaret let him out at the road entrance, not wishing to drive up to the house. “Don’t let uncle know how you got here," she said. “It would make a bad Impression. Besides, he’d have a fit if ba knew I gave a stranger a lift Ho was warning mo about that bandit only this morning. Now, I’ll run over to the garage and get ’em to go bring In your car.

Everyone else had been thinking tbe same thing, but had net dared men­ tion IL and none of them had any suggestions to make. No one dared aak him to dinner (they were so shy), and Mrs. Perkins herself, who really should have asked him, had decided to go to the hotel so as not to have to do so. They certainly could not give him ties or socks, as Mr*. Per­ kin* assured them that he had hun­ dreds of socks and thousands of ties, which everyone readily believed, as they bad never sifen Mm dressed twice the same. It certainly looked like a cold Christ­ mas for Billy. But next door to Mrs. Perkins lived a dear aid maid who had been housekeeper fee the Wellers for many years. Every Bbriatmas she made mittens for al! the children In the neighborheed, and when they grew too big for mittens, she gave candy to the girls and neckties to the boys. She was a community institution, but nobody ever thought of her in connec­ tion with BPly. But when Christmas morning ar­ rived. and Center street was busy with its toys, Billy had not been forgotten.

FHREE SCORE AND TEN" LOOK FOR LARGER GROUNDS The Barry county fair is to have larger fair grounds in the near fu­ ture if the work of a grounds com­ mittee is successful. Realizing that the present grounds are much too small, the membership, at the an­ nual meeting, authorized the ap­ pointment of a committee to investi­ gate other sites and endeavor to se­ cure a location where the fair would have room to expand. The commit­ ted has several sites in view and have authority to secure an option on any location which appeals to them as the most desirable one. The fair came out with a gain of about $2,000 last year, despite the fact that the weather was not all that might have been desired. All the former officers were reelected, as follows. Roy Thorpe of Delton, President; John J. Dawson of Hastings, Secre­ tary; Guy E. Crook of Hastings, Treasurer. Directors, Robert Mar­ tin of Castleton. Harry Mason of Ma­ ple Grove and Frank Doster of Del­ ton. FEED THE BIRDS. The sheet of ice which covers ev­ erything out of doors will cause the death > from starvation of many pheasants, quail, and other small birds, uqless given Immediate atten­ tion. Deputy Game Warden Bera wishes us to urge any one who may know tho location of the birds to notify him at once so that grain may bo taken to their feeding grounds. The state will furnlsff the grain free and it will be properly placed by Mr. Bera himself, and we urge that all true lovers of our bird life cooperate In every way possible. In many instances the birds are being fed by generous farmers and other bird lovers. If you know where any of the above named birds are in need of food and attention, kindly telephone Mr. Bera at once. According to all.reports, that must have been some birthday party her three daughters, Mrs. Bertha Wil­ cox, Mrs. Clarence Shaw and Miss Beulah, gave Mrs. Eunice Mead at her residence in the village on Wednesday, December 17. Some thirty of her old neighbors and friends from the Barryville neighbor­ hood came for the afternoon, and put in a most happy time, talking over old times, looking over old photographs and sewing. Incident­ ally, they presented Mrs. Mead with many lovely gifts. A delightful luncheon was served, the center of attraction being a three-story birth­ day cake baked by Mrs. Clyde Wil­ NOTICE TO K.

WAITE, Secy., Shawnee, Okla., Board of Commerce THAT it takes better business to make a better city. THAT good business makes a busy city; lack of it makes a quiet city. , THAT a live*city has good real estate values. T values in a quiet city are usually so low that owners of real estate have to work hard to pay taxes. THAT some cities seem like cities of the dead while others seem to be slowly awakening from a long, long sleep. THAT when they are fully awake they will be able to see the op- . en gateway to the road that leads to progress and prosperity. THAT in telling the story of their city, they will find the words j>f the English language almost inadequate to expfess the many good things contained therein. THAT their natural opportunities are so great that when their stpry is told It will attract the attention of the world. It will be a story of facts, not fiction.

For the week ending Nov. 9, the state and private ferries at Macki­ naw City carried 1.731 autos across the straits. This has been said to be the great­ est creative age that the world of science has ever known. By his skill man ia constantly bringing forth wondrous inventions to light­ en the labors of his fellows and speed the advancement of civilisation. In such an age people are prone-to ov­ erlook the fact that the human body is a greater creation than can ever be conceived in the mind of man. And yet in the discoveries forever being revealed by the science of medicine this fact becomes more and more apparent. One such revela­ tion came about following the recent death of Mrs. D. D. Patterson, aged resident of Ovid. Nearly 49 years ago. in May, 1876, Mrs. Patterson then a woman of 30 expected to become a mother, but her hopes were never realized. Strangely enough from that time on until .her death, which occurred Fri­ day, December 12, she clung to the belief that she still carried an un­ born child. Although advised by her physician and friends that such a thing was practically impossible the thought never left her. A few years prior to her death Mrs. Patterson exacted a promise from her. friends and relatives that a poet mortem operation should be performed after she had passed away to discover whether there was any foundation for her belief. In ac­ cordance with this promise an au­ topsy was made at Ovid Friday by four Owosso physicians, W. T. Par­ ker, A. L. Arnold, Jr., J. J. Blue and Dr. Green. The result showed that the woman had been right. Within the abdomen the doctors found a nine-month foetus In a per­ fect state of preservation, weighing 4 1-4 pounds. The little body had become petrified after being carried in the abdomen for more than 48 years. None of the Owosso men nor any physician in this part of the state ever heard or read of a like occur­ rence and it is possible that this is the first case of its kind ever brot to light. The little body was taken to the Memorial hospital at Owosso where X-ray pictures were taken. The information regarding the au­ topsy was furnished by Susie Adelblue of Durand, who assisted in car­ ing for Mrs. Patterson during her iaat sickness. The facts have been confirmed by Dr. Parker of Owosso. —Clinton County Republican-News.

Joe grinned happily, swung his hat high with his best flourish, and gal­ loped down the long shady lane. He had lost steep tn his fear of being too late—that town fellow, Boger El­ ton, had been rushing Jsy so bard ever since he landed at his uncle’s, three days back. Joe was fair-minded. He admitted to himself that under other conditions Roger wouldn’t be wholly a bad sort Say as a brother-in-law. Just right for Peggy Gentry—If only he would think so. Peg was mighty pretty— even prettier than Joy; also she was wild for towns, travel, what she called seeing life. The fact had worried Brer Joe no little. Roger could give her these desires of her heart If only he could be shown his role of special providence. Joe stood ready to dower Peg with his one big winning, the Reelfoot Stake, plus the astounding price of Light Heels, the unexpected winner.

Is Dorlnda Dodd the only woman without a Job in Fairport?" He asked himself this question many times as the Breeze neared New York. They touched nt the big city and took a Fairport man home with them. Jabez Case offended the cap­ tain before the ship had left the East tfver. “I hear Dorlnda Dodd’s going to keep house for you," gossiped Jabez lazily. “Until I can turn around and find someone else,” said the captain, a frown on his handsome bronzed face. “Find someone else! What's the matter with Dorlnda Dodd?" Jabez fairly squeaked his surprise. “She makes the best apple pies in Fairport" The captain hesitated. That may be. and apple pie Is my favorite, but I couldn't stand being talked to death by Dorlnda.” “Talked to death?” repeated the stuplfied Jabez. “I said it."

BERA & SONS "The Breeze is in port!" the word flew around the village of Fairport, but no one had an opportunity to have a word with the captain, who went ashore at once and took a short cut across the bluffs to his little white home on the hill. He had been born and raised there, and It pleased him to live on in the house that was so elo­ quent of his mother and father, dead these fire years past. There were many houses whose doors opened glad­ ly to receive the handsome young master of the Breeze, and many a fair damsel set her cap for him, but he was a shy sallorman whose only love was his ship. Thus far he had escaped. Ellen Smith had always made a pleasant home for him. The very no­ tion of that disagreeable Dorlnda Dodd, with her morose face and bony hands always around, depressed him. Ellen bad been fat and florid an<J jolly. "Oh, confound the women." he groaned as he entered the little front yard, gay with summer flowers all blowing in the wind. •The old lady likes posies," he grudgingly admitted. He entered the front door and stood in the familiar entry, with bared head. It was a lit­ tle tribute that he always paid to his dear ones. Then he hung his hat on the deer’s antlers, and looked into the parlor. Everything was in its accus­ tomed place, and Immaculately clean. The small front windows were open and the scent of cinnamon roses filled the room. His throat tightened— memory seemed so insistent. He al­ most sensed the presence of his moth­ er. He left hastily, passed through the quaint dining room, and sought the kitchen—and Dorlnda Dodd. There .was a delicious fragrance of baking cake; on a side table were all the evidences.of molasses cookies to come, but no Dorlnda Dodd. "Oh, Miss Dorlnda!’’ he sang lustily, cheered for the momert by the com­ fort of his hope, and with the words scarcely uttered out of the pantry stepped a woman "Lt must be Captain Clark." she ex­ tended a plump capable band. “Wel­ come home* •Thank you. ma’am. I was expect­ ing to see Miss Dorlnda Dodd here, so I just tang out.” he explained. “Oh—why, I am Dorlnda Dodd!" He stared at her doubtfully.

Kllmeny and Farquhar were away on a hunting trip, and none of the ladles except Moya was yet up. He was especially eager to tell hls news to her, because she had always been such an open defender of the hlghgrader. She gave him hls open­ ing very promptly, for she was anxious to know what had occurred. “Has some distant connection passed away and left you a fortune, Mr. Ver­ inder? Or have you merely found a new gold mine since I saw you last 7" she naked. "By Jove, you're a good guesser. Miss Dwight. I found a gold mine last night. Wonder If you could think where." Her heart beat faster. “You're so pleased about it I fancy the quartz must have been sacked up for you ready for the smelter." she said care­ lessly. Verinder flashed n quick look at her. "Eh, what? How's that?" Moya opened her lips to confess what she had done, but the arrival of a waiter delayed this. Before he had left.

Hit the trail." The wagon passed out of the draw toward Goldbanka For some minutes the sound of the wheels grinding against tho disintegrated granite of the roadbed came back to Jack and the two guards who remained with him. “Hope thia will be a lesson ts you,* said the superintendent presently. "Better take warning. Next time you’ll go to the pen sure." "Bet you a new bat that by this 1 time tomorrow night you fellows won’t ' be cracking your Ups laughing.” “Take you. Just order the hat left at Goldstein's for the man who calls for IL" For an hour by the superintendent’s watch Kllmeny was held under guard. Then, after warning the hlghgrader not to return to town before daybreak, the two men mounted and rode swiftly away. Jack was alone with hls mules and bis empty wagon.

Anne and Her Ancestors By DOROTHY DOUGLAS It wan while she was. telling him about her dear brother'who fell In the war that Warden 'Hine to hls senses. Illx e)e» opened Wide as he looked at rhe portrait. “He was in the Artist s Rifles." Anne was saying of the young officer of the portrait, who was wearing the Royal Scot's uniform, “and he won the Victoria cross," she added, and War­ den bit hls Ups viciously. The bar was the Military cross, but to Anne it was all the same. ^>e finished her recital, and was not exactly conscious of Warden’s peculiar silence. "Miss Severn,” he said finally, “can I come and have h cup of tea with you tomorrow? I have lots to tell you —and—I want to show you some of my own ancestors." Anne never forgot hls thought ful­ ness in not speaking that night II might have spoiled her dinner party. Warden arrived punctually the next day, and Anne's heart fluttered as she felt the close grip of hls hand. “Miss Seven)." he began softly when they were seated, "you are not to think me a conceited Idiot If I show you my own photograph first." He drew from hls pocket a small picture and held It laughingly out. Anne looked at It, blushed furiously, then burst out laughing. The photograph was the small one from which Anne's portrait of, her brother had been painted. “I'm glad, so very glad you did not fall— '.n battie." she raid with a sin­ cerity so great as to cause Warden's heart to jump a beat. “You are just an adorable fraud," he said. "We lost every penny we had, sold our possessions, and I came here to earn my vay. It Is all very simple. Isn't It? Meantime let me pat you quite straight about (he Victoria cross and the Military cross.” “I will let you do what you will," Anne told him, her eyes big pools of trust, “because my family are all on canvas. It Is not so satisfactory." "Brother will have to come to life— as somebody else then,” Warden told her, and Anne agreed with a shy glance. ! (Copyright.) I F ANNE had not skimped with all* her might during the winter ahe could not have had her trip to Eng­ land and the Wembly exhibition. And if she hadn't got to Wembly. she never would have met Tom Everett, who got her a sweepstake ticket And little Anne Severn, without family or ties of any kind, won some forty thousand pounds, or In the coin­ age of her own land, about two hun­ dred thousand dollars. It took Anne about ten days to set­ tle down and realize that she waa no longer a skimping, bard-worked ste­ nographer. She was a wealthy young lady, whose future, with clear-headed Investment, was moot decidedly as­ sured. Anne was an orphan, and didn't even know who her parents bad been, and she decided at once tliat she would acquire some ancestors before return­ ing home. She would seek In the an­ tique shops for paintings, old family furniture and a romantic history, and return to New York well-equipped to enter society. Anne was more than successful among the junk dealers. She found a fine old gentleman smiling down at her from a musty canvas. That was to lie father. In another room behind some old bedsteads she discovered mother, a jolly looking soul who, if Anne had but known It, wore the jew­ elry of a decade before father’s tlmw That was a small matter to Anne. She found Uncle Henry. Aunt Susie and many cousins of brave deeds. And Instly. she found brother. Anne loved brother.
