Every window in the church proper has been replaced by the new ones and the result is a striking contrast to the old. which, be­ cause of their dark colors did not ]>ermit daylight to enter with sufficient quantity to light the church during the day. In addition the windows present a fine appearance from the outside by night Installation of the new windows by the Lentz brothers and Mrs, Kuhl­ man is only a starter toward several needed improvements to be made on and around the church this winter and spring. When weather permits the woodwork on the outside of the church will be repainted, the tall spire is to be taken down and rebuilt"along modern lines. When completed the spire will be much lower than at present. Several trees are also to be cut in front and at the side of the church in an effort to get grass to grow where shade has prevented heretofore. This will be accomplished by spring and in time to sow grass seed for a lawn next summer. Members of the church are anticlparing a much more beautified church and surroundings when these improvemenus have been effected and consldbeing~ expressed erable appreci:iation ____ _is_____ for the fine start given ‘by the Lentz family.

BETTER THAN MICHIGAN “The orange tree* are loaded with fruit, the biggest crop in years if nothing happens to them.” says John Offley, in a letter to the News, written at the time of paying his subcription for another year. "I lived around Nashville for over forty years and think that we can't get along without the News." Mr. Offley A change In management of the Nashville Co-Operative Elevator asso­ ciation took place with the new year, E. D. Olmstead assuming the position which has been ocup'ed by C. D. Hunt for the past two years and four months. Mr. Hunt will continue to ir-nage the Hastings elevator, accord­ ing to information received by the News on Wednesday morning, he hav­ ing been in charge of the operations of both elevators during the time of his Incumbency here. Mr. Olmstead is not a new man to Nashville. Residing on a farm south of town, he has for the past five years managed the Nashville Co-Operative Co., a stock shipping association, with unusual success. During that time he has earned the cooperation of far­ mers for miles around, and there is no doubt but that he will carry this co­ operation with him to the management of the elevator. Mr. Olmstead resign­ ed his position with the shipping asso­ ciation effective the first of this year and Fred Mayo will succeed him in the capacity of manager. The new manager of the elevator with his family, will move to Nashville about the first of March, and will re­ side in the residence now occupied by Frank Johnson, on the corner of Ful­ ler and Francis streets.

"And what about the homestead laws?" “I'm the law out here," he asserted. It came to her that Slade was fight­ ing on the defensive, that he feared to let the Three Bar succeed and set up a precedent in defiance of the signs that dotted the range. “Then It's war!" she said. “And you'll go under yourself, from your own size, if you haven't the Judgment to hedge yourself now like tbe resL The Three Bar Is going ahead—and we're going to win." She turned ber horse but Slade caught her arm and whirled her around.

She shook ber head without an­ swering. "Then I'll break you," be predicted a secund time. He drew a folded slip of imper from his pocket and held It out to her. "That's the exchange slip," he said. "It calls for three hundred odd head of mixed stuff. You can send yours over any time." He turned his horse and followed after the ranger while tbe girl joined Harris and Deane. Harris bad sllp;>ed the strap of his glasses and banded them to Deane who bad dismounted and was peering off at the spot Harris had pointed out. A few scattered shacks, showing as toy bouses from the distance, stood in tiie center of a broad open basin, sheltered on all sides by the choppy rnusS of the Breaks. A solid corral, almost a stockade, stood near the buiidlugs. "That’s Arnold's stockude,” Harris explained to Deane. "Arnold was an old-time rustler* that finished at the end of a rope fifteen years ago. Now all the drifters in the country stop over here If they want a place te hole J "Can't the sheriff clean them out of there?’’ Deane asked. “He could," Harris said. “But no man will make a complaint They cun rustle every steer in the country and the losers are afraid to make u report. Every outfit is supposed to protect its own. if Alden should ride up to almost any ranch within a bun dred miles and ask them if they’d missed any stock In tbe last three years they'd shake their heads and swear that they hadn’t lost a hoof.

The first time we gei a scrap of real evidence on any man we'll call Alden in." "You told me the Three Bar herds have been cut In half," Deane said. “How much evidence do you need?" “It's like this: Harris explained. “Rustling Is about the hardest thing in the world to prove. There's a dozen ways they can work 1L I could catch some of them driving a bunch oi Three Bar cows toward the Idaho line. They'd look up and see me and calm iy ride on past the cows. They .could say the bunch was Just drifting ahead of their burses—that they weren't driving them at all. Who can’t prove a case of rustling even if you see It. unless you actually catch one alter Ing the brand. The only way to con vict a rustler right now is to kill bin and swear that you run up on him changing a brand. I expect that's spring. Again Deane was Impressed with the impropriety of the girl’s be­ ing out with two men who loved her and the thought was an ache that re­ mained with him. As they sat round the little fire the girl handed Harris the paper Slado . had given her. It was a scrawled bill of sale calling for three hundred odd head of Circle P cows, listed in the exact numbers of all ages and sexes. In return she would send him an ex­ change slip for the same number of Three Bar stock. This exchange sys­ tem was one of Slade’s own devising, intended to eliminate the time and ex­ pense of sending riders to scour ad­ jacent ranges in search of drifted stock. Each outfit exchanged slips based on the round-up tally with every other brand and so could show bill of sale for off-brand stuff in their beef shipments or for any rebrands on the range. Deane was regarding the penciled memorandum signed by Slade. “Not a very impressive document,” he observed. Harris laughed at the other’s evi­ dent disapproval of such a slipshod method of property transfer. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

A Live Newspaper in a Thriving Community NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY. JAN. 10, 1929 VOLUME LVI NUMBER 25 Rebekah Lodge “Uncle Dan” Lykins Mr. and Mrs. Wm. De Vine Celebrate LOCAL DERATE DECEMBER RECORD Died Installed Officers Friday Even’g Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary Dec. 31 TEAM TO MEET MONTH FOR UNCLE SPRINGPORT HI SAM IN NASHVILLE RECEIPTS AT LOCAL POSTOFFICE PASS SEVEN THOUSAND MARK FOR YEAR. Slightly more than $800.00 would have placed Nashville's postoffice Ln the second class for 1929, ac­ cording to figures compiled by. Post­ master Robt. Surtne for the year 1928. Receipts for 1928 totaled $7,14333, while $8,000 would have been necessary to place the office one notch higher In the estimation of Uncle Sam. While not showing any increase for the entire year over 1927. the local of­ fice forged ahead in receipts during December over the same month in 1927. One year ago the Nashville of­ fice did a business totaling $785.61 in December, while in 1928 an increase of approximately 25 per cent was noted, with a total for the month of $978.68 reported. That the local postoffice receipts in 1928 did not exceed 1927 is not surpris­ ing when reports from other postofflees are considered. With few excep­ tions, it is said, postoffices over the country showed lesser receipts last year than 1927 and it is this apparent falling off in buslnes". generally that seems to have included the Nashville office. Hopes are expressed by Mr. Surtne that the Nashville office win reach the amount required for a second class office during 1929 and. if predic­ tions of business leaders throughout the country come true,,increased com­ mercial prosperity will be reflected in use of the mails and cash receipts. NO EXTENSION OF TIME TO PURCHASE AUTO PLATES Information received at the Barry County sheriff’s office Tuesday fore­ stalled any impression that an exten­ sion of time has been officially grant­ ed for the purchase of 1929 automobile license plates. There has been no ex­ tension of time. Auto owners who have been harbor­ ing a belief that the usual custom of time extension will prevail again this year may be surprised when they dis­ cover a tag attached to their car warning them that they must not ap­ pear on the streets again with old li­ cense plates. According to the sher­ iff's office, autolsts in Hastings are be­ ing tagged by local police officials with the warning attached. The News was also informed that permission would be granted by the sheriff for autoists wishing to get new tags to drive to the county seat for that purpose and display their old tags, providing they attach the new plates for the return trip. The fact that 1929 plates were plac­ ed on sale the first of December, 1928, permitted ample time for purchase and it is the contention that there Ls no reason why new plates should not have been secured. STATE SAVINGS BANK IS IN FLOURISHING CONDITION The State Savings Bank reported a flourishing condition and voted the customary semi-annual dividend at their annual stockholder's meeting held in the bank offices on Tuesday even­ ing. Directors were re-elected to serve another year and will meet Thursday evening to elect officers. The year Just closed has been an ex­ cellent one, according to bank officials, the current statement being the best ever offered by this institution. Directors elected Tuesday evening are: John Andrews, A. D. Olmstead. Chris Marshall. E. L. Schantz, H. C. Zuschnitt, Menno Wenger, E. C. Kraft. C. K. Brown, and W. A. Vance. Mr. and Mrs. L. J.

Bing­ aman , and the remains, accompanied by Mr. Lykins, were token to Winches­ ter. Indiana, his old hume, where ser­ vices and burial took place Monday. Uncle Dan had made his home the past seven years at Ottle Lykin's, south of town, and while he was of a very quiet disposition he leaves a host of friends who feel their lives were made better by having such a loyal friend. TODAUASf DAY TO PAYTWP. TAX WITHOUT PENALTY LESS THAN HALF OF TAXES DUE NOW IN COFFERS OF TOWN TREASURER. Less than half of the township tax­ es due have been paid, according to Township Treasurer Henry F. Rem­ ington. who is holding forth at the Farmers Merchants bank offices. This, in face of the fact that today. Jan. 10. is the last day before a pen­ alty of four per cent, will be added to taxes paid. The total roll for Castleton town­ ship amounts to $67,271.84. and less than thirty thousand dollars of this have been paid to date, said Mr. Rem­ ington Wednesday. Whether this means that taxes will be returned un­ paid on a good share of these proper­ ties is a conjecture, since returns this year have been considerably slower than in former years. Rates per one thousand dollars var­ ies in the several school districts of the townships, from $24.55 in Dist. No. 11 to $33.95 in Dist. No. 1 Fr.. which Includes Nashville. Of this amount bet­ ter than $15 is school tax. State $3.64, County road .70, Township .95, High­ way Improvement $1.43, County Covert Rood, $3.85, Township road $2.43. REP.

DeVine, who on Monday, December 31, celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary at their country home west of Nashville. Mr. uric! Mrs. DeVine were married in Kalamazoo December 31. 1868, and started housekeeping on the farm which has been their home ever since. During the day of their anniversary celebration a large number of neighbors and friends called and paid their respects to the aged couple who. while past the four score mark, are hale and hearty. Their many friends hope for them many more anniversaries together. When fifty years of wedded life had quickly slipped away. You called us in to celebrate your Golden Wedding day. And now when sixty years have passed, we’re here again today To renew the wish we then did make. If it might only be we'd like to help you celebrate your Diamond Ju­ bilee. But it might be selfish for us to wish, these friends of such renown. PIONEER RESIDENT YOUNGSTERS MAY UYED ON GO. LINE HAVE SAFE PLAGE FARM 53 YEARS TO ENJOY SKATES BORN ACROSS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL DECEASED WAS ROAD FROM LIFE-LONG HOME FLOOD BALL DIAMOND FOR USE 74 YEARS AGO OF SKATERS. That Nashville’s youngsters, and "oldsters” too. may have a safe place where they can enjoy the skates they received this Christmas—or some oth­ er Christinas—the Chamber of Com­ merce. at a special meeting held Mon­ day evening in Belson's Bakery, voted to stand the expense of flooding the ball ground near the river tor skating purposes. Rather than risk the lives of children who might venture on the river and thin ice. it was decided to provide a safe place where this popu­ lar winter sport may be indulged in without the accompanying worry and danger. Workmen were at work Tuesday banking the snow about the ground for a retaining “wall” and water will be sprinkled over it with the use of the village fire engine. When this is frozen —which will take about two minutes— in the prevailing weather—the entire lot will be flooded and allowed to freeze. Creating a safe place to skate is a commendable objective. Young folks will use their skates and sleds some­ where regardless of admonitions and warnings. If there 1* not a safe place to use them they will use whatever lo­ cations are available, and in Nashville s case it happens to be the mill pond and river, with several feet of water underneath them. The flooded ball park will be close in. will be large enough for a good many skaters, and. mainly, will be safe beyond accident from breaking ice. NEXT TUESDAY WILL BE JIGGS’ NIGHT AT DINTY’S PLACE CHOOSE-74 SWINE PRODUCER Every man and boy in the communi­ ty who aspires toward freedom for a night may satisfy that longing next Tuesday evening if he will only ac­ cept the invitation of Nashville Knights of Pythias to partake of corn­ ed beef and cabbage at that organiza­ tion's annual "Jiggs" supper. Not a woman will be present. Dinty’s place promises to be a notable gathering place for the downtrodden, hen-peck­ ed. harrassed husbands, fathers and sons on the 15th. Plans are being made for a record attendance. Serving will begin at sev­ en o'clock and It is expected there will be enough corned beef to go round, al­ though some of the more prodigious appetites have created a reputation which behooves you to get there early. GALEY’S STORE BEING CONVENIENTLY RE-ARRANGED The grocery and drygoods stock of Coley's store has been undergoing a re-arrangement (ttlrfM the past week, and now when one enters the store the groceries are found on the north side of the room instead of the south pre­ viously and the drygoods have been moved to the south side.

SANITATION SYSTEM AND PROP­ ER FEEDING ENABLE WINNER TO PRODUCE BEST PIG CROP. C. N. Easton, of Saline. Washtenaw county, has been selected as Michigan’s champion swine grower from among 31 contestants entered in the 1928 pig crop contest. Mr. Easton produced an average lit­ ter weight of 1.770 pounds which was 172 pound* per Utter more than the average of his nearest competitor. From five sows he raised 43 pigs which, at 180 days, weighed 8,851 pounds. The method* used by Lhe champion, acenrding to animal husbandry special­ ist* at M. p. C., are typical of those used by the most successful swine pro­ ducers in the state. The pigs were fan-owed early enough to reach mar­ ket weight in September and were sold at $13.60, the highest price of the sea­ son on the Detroit market In order to lessen the danger of in­ ternal parasites, a new pasture was provided and each sow farrowed in an Individual "A” type house. The sows were fed through the winter on com. alfalfa, oil meal and tankage a* a pro­ tein supplement, and ground oat* and barley in the swill. The corn was tak­ en out of the ration the week before farrowing and the sows were kept off feed for 48 hours after farrowing. The pigs were creep fed before wean­ ing at two to two and one-half months of age. and brought to maturity on ground oat* and corn and some wheat, with oil meal and tankage a* protein supplement. Time has wiped out another of Barry county's pioneers, in the person­ age of Oscar Pennington, aged seven­ ty-four years, who passed away at his home north of the village late Satur­ day afternoon. His passing was the result of pneumonia. For fifty three years Mr. and Mrs. Pennington have lived on their farm about six miles northeast of Nashville on the BarryEaton county line. Fifty-three years ago these pioneers moved to this place which became home to them after years of hard labor. First the land was cleared, Mr. Pennington doing the work himself. Hardships presented themselves, but these two people strived on despite them, and life was sweet to them. On April 6. three year* ago they celebrated their Golden Wed­ ding anniversary. Mr. Pennington was born In Eaton county nearly across the road from where he spent the balance of hi* Life. He was united in marriage on April 6, 1876 to Miss Arvllla Whitney.

Farmers & Merchants Bank HEALTH IS WEALTH The Question ot Colds Disregarded for many years as a minor disturbance too inconsequential to warrant serious attention, the •‘common cold" In recent times has taken upon Itself the rank of an im­ portant medical problem. Industrial physicians have made the surprising discovery that colds and the illness following them cause nearly one-half of the absenteeism in, offices and factories. A like amount of valuable school time is probably lost by stu­ dents. Important as they are in themselves, colds gain added attention because of the illness for which they prepare the way. By lowering the body's pow­ ers of resistance, they become the fore­ runners of such diseases as bronchitis. Kash an<i Karry AND KREDlT <JJ a: pneumonia, influenza, sinus trouble, and tuberculosis. Colds, to accept the general concen­ sus of opinion, arc contagious. They are "caught" from other persons through germs emitted in coughing, sneezing or spitting. Consideration of the welfare of others should lead In­ dividuals havng colds to cover their mouths when coughing or sneezing. If they do not exercise this and slmlllar precautions, they are endangering the health of everyone with whom they come in contact. Persons who want to avoid colds will shun the promiscuous cougher. Inquiry shows that colds are most prevalent when people are negligent in the care of the body. Colds are prob­ ably so numerous In the winter months because of the reduction in bodily strength brought by lack of exercise, less out of doors living, the many hours spent in overheated and stuffy rooms, and the tendency to eat too much. Cold weather does not cause colds. Rather It is the unhealthy living hab­ its, Induced by the rigors of the win­ ter season. that are at fault. Such habits lower the body's powers of re­ sistance and make It fall an easy prey to the bacteria which cause colds. The first rule to be laid down in the prevention of colds, therefore, is con­ tinuation Into the winter months of the healthy program of life most peo­ ple follow In summer time. Every ef­ fort should be made to spend at least one hour out of doors every day. to eat such fresh fruits and vegetables as the season permits, to work and sleep Ln well ventilated rooms, and to get a reasonable amount of exercise.

INGS BASIS FOR ENTRY INI COOK CONTEST. •'Christmas 1928" is the subject of the. fourth prize story submitted by Miss> June Brown in L. H. Cook's Christmasi story writing contest which was par­ ticipated in by a large number of localI school students. Miss Brown wasi awarded $1 for her efforts. The story’ follows: that way Dixon could send a gift to his own Utile girl." "O goody! That's just what 111 do." So that night when Mr. Kendall came home the child rushed to him and putting her arms around his neck whispered. "Daddy, would you like to do something for a little girl who loves Now Mr. Kendall surmised that Mary Louise wanted something, but he thought he had better be careful what she, what does she want?" "Why Daddy, it's me. You know Jenny—you don’t? Well, she’s the Janitor’s daughter and her daddy to very poor. So do you suppose we could send him some money so that Jenny could have a Christmas present?” Mr. Kendall, however, wasn’t so very interested in Jenny, but it was Christ­ mas and it would make Mary Louise happy to give a present. Money "was­ n't so wonderful to him either, so he replied, “Yes. I think that to a splen­ did plan and you are very good and generous. Mary Louise. Sure I will send Dixon a check." Two floors below the Kendall apartmeat dwelled the O'Haras. As the name implies, the O’Hara’s were Irish, good big-hearted Michael, loving motherly Nora, and son Jimmy. Jimmy, a small lad with the map of Erin sprinkled in generous spots over hto nose, was about the age of Mary Louise He was a healthy, happy boy and could hardly wait ’til Christmas. He liked tlie scramble to the roof on ChristmAK morning with the other children and opening and sharing hto presents with them. Michael O'Hara was fairly well-to-do so Jimmy usually received nice ones. That morning. Jimmy was worrying about Jenny. He was doubtful wheth­ er she would get a present, therefore he said to hto mother, “Oh mother, do you think I could give Jenny a pres­ ent? They are so poor and maybe she won't get anything. I could send it through Banta and she'd never know who sent it." "Jimmy, me bye, ye baan a bonnie laddie. Bure ’tto the goodness o' Saint Mary shinin’ through the eye’ o’ ye. Many's the tolme when I thinks o* ill’ Jenny and the poor Janitor. It will be foine to send her a gift" So Jimmy planned to give Jenny a Christmas present, also. Now to the basement where the jan­ itor lived. Dixon's wife died and left Jenny wth iiim. Jenny thought she should take her mother's place and she did the best she could. The basement had been made as cheery and com­ fortable as possible with their limited means. Dixon was a kind old fellow who was deeply grieved that hto darl­ ing couldn't have what other children would. He was thinking that morn­ ing., "What a world this to. My poor little girl, what will she think when she doesn't get U present? Oh, she must! I must find the means some­ how. She must never lose her faith in Santa Claus. But how can I keep It for her when it takes all my money for the necessities? Look at her! Sec that beautiful smile! Will she smile like that on Chrstmas mom? Oh, she must! When Dixon received the Kendall check, he was over-joyed Hut he was afraid to take the money because he was1 a poor but proud being. How­ ever. Mr. Kendall had stated that tne money was to reward Dixon for hto splendid sendee. Yet, if he accepted the money should not he save it for an emergency? But what of poor Jenny's smile? Casting off hto doubtful mood he started far the stores. My what a wondrous display. As he wandered along he tried to think what he should buy her. At last he happened upon a confectionary shop and there in the window was Jenny’s present It was a handsome Santa Claus, about three feet high, all dressed and looking so life-like that one would expect him to burst forth with a merry "Hello, ev­ erybody." Now of course you will see nothing strange about a Santa in a window at that time of the year, but wait Dixon entered the shop and found to hto amazement that Santa was divided into compartments filled with all kinds of goodies. The price was only fifty dollars and that was the exact amount of the Kendall check, therefore Dixon purchased a Santa. He had Santa delivered at the Christmas Distributing Air Company. Inc. That company had many planes whose work was to drop the Chrtotmas gifts to apartment house roofs. The presents were wrapped in metal. On the roof’was a large magnet which drew the metal-wrapped package to it. In order to break the fall a large wire net surrounded the magnet. Thus the children found their gifts on the roof. This was quite practicable for people living in an apartment for the only way the presents of Santa could enter was by means of the postman and what fun to there in that. It was lots more fun to rush to the roof with all the other children, rich and poor, to get your presents dropped from the air by a moden Santa. To get back to the children. It was Christmas morning—what an event. Jimmy, Mary Louise, Jennie and all the other children were up early and had scrambled to the roof where they found their gifts. Mary Louise exclaimed, "Oh, children! ph. kiddies! Loot! Look! See my doU. Urtm to Was the Christmas of, 1928 different; from any other Christmas?

They all left their gifts and watched Jennie undo here with trembling fingers. There before them stood a great doll, an exact like­ ness of Mary Louise's, and all the children were “oh-ing, and oh-ing". Mary Louise came up to Jennie and said, “Oh. Jennie, our dolls are twins. Isn’t that splendid?” And Jennie, the janitor's child, re­ plied to the rich Mr. Kendall's daugh­ ter. “Yes, Mary Louise, and I'll name her after you." Back among the boys stood Jimmy O'Hara, feeling sort of shy and embarassed for he was the youthful giv­ er and he didn't wish Jennie and the fellows to know it. However, the greatest triumph of the day was yet to come and when they beheld the Santa, dressed in his suit of red velvet and looking so real, they were astonished. Yet, they couldn’t Imagine what he was used for. Final­ ly, they discovered that Santa’s lid came off and found the fruits, nuts and candy. Jennie, a generous little soul, offered the children some, but they only accepted one piece. My! Jennie was happy. She clasp­ ed her presents in her arms and hur­ ried to the basement. Santa Claus, being a wise old soul and able to see into the hearts of men. observed that in a certain apartment house many people were happy. He saw. in the basement, the happy jani­ tor and Jennie; on one of the middle floors, happy Nora and Jimmy; and, on the top floor, happy Mary Louise and Mr. Kendall Santa knew the reason for all of that were happy in having of other people’s hapInesfi. That same feeling revailed in many other homes. That was the true Christmas spirit that makes all Christ­ mases Christmas. So, was that Christ­ mas of 1928 modem. The surrounding* and environment might have been dif­ ferent, but It had the same old Christ­ mas spirit. T. 8. K. Reid and Harvey Burgess of Hastings came to Nashville with C. F.

Again he had to stand In line, but finally got the plates and came home, however ar­ riving too late to put them on his car that night Then Sunday, he and his family had planned to go out of town for the day. but he figured he had better put on the new plates while the rest of the folks were getting dressed up. Remember the old saying: “Haste makes waste?” Well. Charlie put the rear plate on in a jiffy, then rushed around to the front of his car—and just as he was tightening up the last screw, something slipped. Come to think about it, guess it wm the screw­ driver, because it went kerplunk right through the radiator, making about a FOUR DOLLAR hole in size and let­ ting out a few quarts of perfectly good non-freexe solution. Charlie didn’t let a little thing, like that spoil his trip. He bought a half dozen packages of. chewing gum and proceeded to plug up the hole. Charlie was compelled to chew gum the balance of the day. Ev­ ery few miles on that trip he -would stop the car. climp out. walk around in front and replug the hole—and then take another fresh chew. Charlie chew­ ed gum so long and fast that day that when he got back home that evening and took a look in the mirror he got the scare of his life. His face had the general appearance of an attack of mumps. Salesman Wanted—Must plates on his car one evening last week.

IRVINQ KINQ JONAHS HOUGH It is not the custom to­ day to throw overboard people who are suspected of being the cause of storms and disasters at sea, yet the beliefs In Jonahs still flourishes, and deep-water sailors still have a lingering opinion that the weather conditions would be vastly improved If the suspected persons were Jetti­ soned. In less enlightened times they would have been—even as was the prophet son of Amlttal. The Jonah superstition Is older than Jonah. The prophet was mere­ ly the victim of a Phoenician super­ stition ancient even before his day; but being ‘ a “celebrated case” hto name has clung to It ever since. It is tiie old Idea of the appeasing of an angry god by a human sacrifice. Human sacrifice to Baal was the main feature of Phoenician worship, and the Phoenicians were the great sea­ faring people among the ancients, and took their religion to sea with them. In Jonah's day the victim appears to have been chosen by lot, but subse­ quently he came to be designated, by personal peculiarities or by coinci­ dence. It to thus that a ‘‘Jonah" Is indicated today. The writer once knew a young na­ val officer who, because of the mis­ haps which occurred to a series of ships to which he was successfully at­ tached, became known throughout the service as “Jonah" So-and-so. Not so long ago a sailor on a coasting schooner caught In a storm cried out that the tempest was because of his wickedness and jumped overboard. The/«tonu still continuing the sailors threw his dunnage after him—and the tempest ceased! Of such stories “the name is legion." The fact that It Is getting on to three thousand years now since Phoenicia ceased to exist affords another example of the su­ periority of the vitality of a super­ stition over that of empires and races.

SAME WM WITH THE KMOCXER IM A TDWM* HR MAKES THE BOOSTERS MORS APPREWATED “Not very," he agreed. “But It’s aosolutely good. You could borrow money against that ut the bauk. Slade doesn't get us that way but here's how he does: He’s mapped out a rebrand system. His rebrand is Triangle on the hip. When he gets our exchange slip all be has to do is go on his range and run the Triangle on the hip of tbe number of Three Bar stock it calls fbr. There are Three Bar cows ranging a hundred tulles from here. Just as there's brands a hun­ dred miles off whose stock turns up here—with a triangle on the hip. Who's going to check Slade up? It would, take three crews to cover his range and tally the fresh Three Bar rebrands of this one season—a few here and a few there. He ships train­ loads of cows in a year. There's some old rebrands In each' lot, say; maybe more than last year's exchange. Well he simply has been bolding them over. He can easy explain that It would break a small outfit to Hire enough bands to cover his range and check him up—and he'd buy part of those. Tbe albino's men are petty-larceny bandits compared witli Slade.” Deane turned to the girl. “Billie, why don't you get out of a game Vhere everything is crooked—a game of who cau steal the most and every man for hiinaeif?" be asked. “Why don't you fold your hands and give up your business the first tiling that goes wrong?” she countered. “In­ stead of trying to remedy It?” “But you don’t have to do it,” he urged. “Neither do you." she said ,’Tve tbe same pride in the Three Bar that you have in anything you've helped build up. You'd fight ull the harder -for one of your schemes that was hard-pressed—and so would L" She turned to her teepee* and ended the discussion, her pride u little hurt that Deane should so little appreciate her work—and the spirit that made her hold on instead of giving up. That evening they rode up to the Three Bar Just us Waddles announced the evening meat “She's hot!" the big voice walled. “She's re-e-ed hot!” The bands were gathering at the ranch, coming in from tbe range for a frolic before the beef round-up should keep out fur another month. Deane's time was up and he had' planned to leave on the following day. “You can't do that,” Harris said. “Two more days for you. I've given orders not to let you off the place till after tbe dance at Brill's. This Is Tuesday and the big frolic will be staged Thursday night. Then you're free to go.” Deane shook his head and prepared to offer an excuse but Harris smiling­ ly refused to consider It “No use to try," he said. ‘The boys won't let yon go. We’ve had you out In the rain and now we'll try to make amends for it Billie, don't let him leave tbe place. Hl detail you u guard.” “You hear tbe orders,’’ she said, “You're stuck for two more days . at the Three Bar whether you like it or not" \ “That settles It," Deane do want to see that dance. Horne strolled up to them as they reached the corral. "Another c-f the wild bunch down,' he said. "Magill this time. Got It Just the same as Barton did last week. Shot from in front; one empty shell in ills gun. The Breaks is get ting to be a hard place to reside In.” Again tbe girl felt that queer sen­ sation of having expected this to transpire, as If possibly she had helped plan the deed herself and had forgotten it That night as she lay in her bed her mind was concerned with it and at times the solution seemed almost to reach the surface of her consciousness. Two belated riders came up the lane. As they rode past her open windows she heard the name of MagilL “That’s two for Bangs,” said a vblcs she knew for Moore's. The evasive sense of familiarity, of being In some wny identified with the killings, was suddenly clear to her­ Old Rile Foster was haunting the Breaks near Arnold’s, imposing grim and merciless justice on all those whom he suspected of having had a hand In the finish of Bangs. CHAPTER VIII Harris had left the ranch an hour before daylight, his ride occasioned by the reports of several of the men. In the last three days each mcnb that worked the range bad found out or more of the new white-face bulk shot down In their territory. Ti»» evidence, as Harris pieced the scrap; together, indicated that a Ione ride: Three Bar bull that crossed his trail. A dozen dead animal* marked bin course. A few more such raids and the Three Bar calf crop would be ex­ tremely abort the following spring He rode. back to the corrals in the early afternoon nnd Joined Billie and Deane "Not a track," ha said. “We must expect more or lew of that They’ll cut in on us wherever there's a chance." Aa Harris left them the girl pointed out a horseman riding up the lane. "The sheriff,” she volunteered, and Deane noted aa odd tightening of her Up*. The sheriff, came over to Deane and the girl. “Billie, I expect you can tell me who's doing tills killing over in the Breaks," he said. • Her eyes fell under the sheriff’s steady gaze. Deane was looking Into her face and with a shock be realized that she could pronounce the name of the assassin but was deliberately withholding It. She raised her head with a trace of defiance. "No. I can't tell you," she said. Deane expected to hear the sheriff’s curt demand that she divulge the name ot the man he sought It must be easily apparent to him, as It was to Deane, that ahe knew. But Alden only <]rop)>ed a band on -her shoulder and stood looking down at her. “AU right, girl," he said mildly. “I reckon you can't tell. He can't be such a rotten sort If you refuse to turn him up." He pushed back his hat and smiled at Deane. “We have to hu­ mor the womenfolks out here,” he ex­ plained, aa be turned toward the bunk hoqse. Deane, already at a loss to grasp the mental attitude of the range dwellers, was further mystified by a sheriff who spoke of humoring the la­ dies In a mutter pertaining to a dou­ ble killing. “Billie you knowhe accused; “why wouldn't you tell?” "Because there's u good chance that he's a friend of mine," ahe stated simply. “Those men bad It coming to them and some way I can't feel any regret" ' “Billie, let me take you away from all this," Deane urged again. "Let me give you the things every girl should have—shut ull the rough spots out of your path. I want to give you the things every girl Deeds to round out her life—a home and love and shelter. This Is not the Ute for a girl." he in­ sisted. “You've told me a hundred times that 1 was different from other girls. But now you're wanting me to be like ull the rest. Where would the dif­ ference be then?' she asked a little wistfully. “Why can’t you go on lik­ ing me the way I am. Instead of mak­ ing me over?” But Carlos Deane could not see. It was his Inst evening alone with her and after the meal they rode across the hills through the moonlight. In thut hour she whs very near to doing as he wished. If only be had sugges’ed thut she come to him us soon as the Three Bur was once more a pros­ perous brand; bud only pointed out how she could sjiend months of each year on the old home ranch—then he might have won his point without waiting. But that Is not the way of man toward woman. His plea was that she leave all this behind—for him. And his hold was not quite strong enough to Induce her to give up Next Day Her Stand Unaltered. every link of the life she had loved for long years before Carlos Deane had been even a part of 11 “I can’t tell you now.” she said as they rode back to the corrals. “Not now. It would take something ont of the old Three Bar In the shape it’s in today. It's sort of like deserting a crippled child.” The next day her stand was unal­ tered and in the evening, when the whole Three Rar personnel swunp to their saddle* and headed for the “ frolic at Brill’s Deane had been able to gain her promise. There were but few horses at the hitch rails when they reached the post. • As the Three Bar girl entered at the head of her men she saw Bentley and Carper ter leaning against the bar, well tc-.-.-ard the rear of the room. Within the last week she had heard that Carp, after being let off by Harris, had started up a brand of Ills own down in Blade's range.

Tbe Three Bar fore­ man noded. “Likely the same old move," he said. “Like i told you, there's no way to check Slade up on the number of our rebrand* U Carp gets caught it's his own hard luck.” A dozen men from the Halfmoon D swarmed in the door. Mr*. McVey, the owner's wife, stationed herself in one corner with the Three Bar girl while the men gravitated to the bar. Harper’s men came in, the albino standing half a head taller than any other on the floor, and they mingled with the rest as if their records werethe most Immaculate of the lot. Two of Slade's foremen arrived with their families. Bart Epperson, a trapper from far back In the hills, had brought ids family to the frolic. Mrs. Epperson was a tiny meek woman who had but little to say. Her two daughters, In lheir late teen* ha glossy black hair, high cheek benes and faint olive tinge of skin which betrayed a trace of In­ dian ancestry. Lafe Brandon came at the head of his tribe. Two of his sons were mar­ ried and living at the home ranch. They came to the dance with the rest of the family. Loo Brandon’s wife, Dolly, 'was a former dance-hall girl of Coldriver, and Al Brandon's better half. Belle, was tbe daughter of a Utah cowman. An extra stageload rolled in from Coldriver and four couples Joined the throng. “Ex-achool teachers," Harris in­ formed. “They marry them so fast that it’s hard to keep one on the Job Instructing the rising generation in the Coldriver school.” Deane shrank from the thought of the Three Bar girl In such a mixture. Some way she seemed many shades finer tiian the rest ’It couldn’t be otherwise.’’ Harris auld when 'Define expressed this thought. "She was raised at tbe knee nf one of the flnest women in the world. 1 remember her mother my- self—a little; and I’ve heard my own mother sing the praises of Elizabeth Warren a thousand times." The albino interrupted them. “Cal—how come?” be greeted. The three men conversed in the most cas­ ual. friendly fashion, as If there had never been a hint of friction between Harris and Harper In the past. . A great voice rose above the buzz of conversation, filling the big room to the very rafters. “Choose your partners for the dance!" Waddles bellowed from the makeshift platform at one end of the room. “Go get your ga-a-als!” Deane moved across to the Three Bar girl. There was a general rush for the side opposite the tar where the ladles had gathered. Couples squared off for tbe Virginia reel, the shortage of ladles rectified by a hand­ kerchief tied on the arm of many a chap-clad youth to signify that be was. for tbe moment, a girl. Waddles picked his guitar; two fiddles broke into "Turkey in tbe Straw." and the dance was on with Waddles calling the turns. All through the room they shuf­ fled and bowed, whirled partner*, locked elbows and swung, tbe shriek of fiddles and scrape of feet punctu­ ated tbe caller's boom. Slade *.me in alone as the ..st dance was ended. A croupier and lookout. Imported from Coldriver for the event, opened Brill's roulette layout In one comer, the rattle'at chips, the whir of the Ivory ball and the professional chant of lookout and croupier sound­ ed between dance*. The full enjoyment of a nove. scene was spoiled for Deane by the sicken­ ing realization that tbe Three Bar girl was part of It rubbing elbows with the nondescript throng. He looked again at Harper, the rustler chief; at Slade, with his peculiar tnrtlellke face, Slade the cattle king—the killer. Willie Warren stood between the two Epperson girls whose faces betrayed the taint of Indian blood, an arm about the shoulders of each of them. Th sheriff who had said that men must humor womenfolks was leaning against the bar. Deane turned to Harris but found him looklr- the room. He turned his own that way and glimpsed a dark with an overlong, thin face and hk-nk stare. . Morrow had just eyes man a set come Five minute* later Harris stepped out the back door and Deane followed him. At the sound of a footfall be­ hind him Harris whirled on his heel and wheri he confronted Deane the dim light from' the door glinted on semething in his hand. “Sho.” Harris deprecated. *Tm get­ ting spooky. I thought it was some qne else.” He slipped the gun back In Its holster. “There’s one or two that would like right well to run across me from behind." "I followed yon out k> tell you it was decent of you to Insist that I stay over a few days,” Deane said. “It was a white thing to do, considering that we both want the same thing.” “We both want her to have what’s best for her,” Harris said. “And I ■ don’t know as she could do any better than to take up with you.” “It may sound rather trite—coming after that," Deane said. “But any­ way. Ill have to say that I feel the same way about you." “Then, if we’re both right in our es­ timates, why she can’t go very far wrong, either way she turns," Harris said. “So I reckon we’re both con­ tent." Harris moved on and motioned Deane to accompany him. _ “I thought 1 glimpsed a man I knew a few minutes back,” Harris said. “I’d like right well to have a talk with him.” They wandered completely round the post and looked in tbe shadows of the outbuildings but could '.find no trace of life. “Likely I was mistaken," Harris said at last “I saw a face Just outside the door. He was more qr less on my mind—the party I thought it was. Some one else 1 expect, and he’s gone inside." They returned to the hall. Morrow Stood with two Halfmoon D men at the end of Elie bar. Harris motioned him aside ind Morrow withdrew from the others. •Tills Is pretty far north for you. Morrow." Harris suggested.

SEED GROWERS TEACH METHODS AT COLLEGE All phases of the production of cer­ tified seed will be studied by Michigan farmers at a short course to be given at Michigan State College. January 28 to February 1. Prominent seed growers who have made a success of their work will aid members of the farm crops depart­ ment at the College in instructing the students in this course. The classes begin with directions for laying out the farm and conclude with instructions on seed marketing. Tills course is designed for the use of farmers who can leave their farms only for a short time and who wish to get the maximum value for the time that they spend away from their busi­ ness.

A brand of heroism which is not surpassed even by grown-ups. probably saved the life of eight-year-old Maxine Cole, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Claire Cole, last Thursday evening when her two companions. Jean Brown, daugh­ ter of Dr. and Mrs. C. K. Brown, and Jean Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Smith, approximately the same age. dragged her from the icy waters of Thomapple river adjacent to the ball park. The three little girls were playing along the river when one of Maxine's mittens was dropped onto the Ice. Venturing forth to recover it she broke through the thin ice and dropped to the bottom In water which came to her shoulders. Unable to get back on the Ice alone, her two companions are said to have formed a "human chain" from the bank and rescued unfortun­ ate Maxine. She was placed on a sled by the other two girls and taken to her home in the east part of town and ap­ parently has not suffered any ill-effects from cold water and icy winds. That the presence of mind and pluc­ ky efforts of her two companions on the shore saved Maxine from more ser­ ious consequences is undoubted, since the broken ice and cold water would have made it unusually difficult for one of her age and size to have re­ gained safety on the shore. Luckily the water at this location Is not deep and her companions were enabled to reach her.

KNOWN SEED STOCKS. The part which good seed plays in reducing losses from seed-borne dis­ eases. in increasing the percentage of germination, and in producing a vig­ orous plant will be told by members of the farm crops department at Mich­ igan State College to audiences visit­ ing a special train which will be run over the New York Central Lines in southeastern Michigan. March 4 to 16. The cost of seed is usually one of the minor items in the cost ot producing a crop, but often an attempt to save the difference in price between good and . poor seed means that the farmer loses a part or all of the profit which he ex­ pected to make on that crop, accord­ ing to crops specialists at M. S. C. The production of certified seed is attracting the Interest of many Michlgan fanners, and Michigan seeds are now going to many other States. The Belter-Seed train will carry two cars of exhibits, one of which will show the trials made at the college of many kinds of seeds, while the other will car­ ry equipment needed in the produc­ tion of better seed. Less than five per cent of Michigan farmers use clean certified seed which Is adapted to this state and of known origin, accoring to a statement by Pro­ fessor H. C. Rather. Michigan State College. He believes that farmers who visit the special train will be convin­ ced of the economic advantage of — 1 Ing better seed.

MORE THAN HUNDRED EAT CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE More than one hundred men stole away from the quiet of domesticity on Tuesday evening and "sneaked” up to the J Iggs- supper put on by local Knights of Pythias.

In fact more than one stayed awake during the night In order- to keep company with the otherwise lonesome "corned cow." Those in charge of the supper state that the crowd Tuesday night exceed­ ed that of last year, although the con­ dition of the roads probably kept a good number from venturing the trip MUSIC STUDY GROUP WILL BE ORGANIZED NEXT WEEK Music lovers of Nashville and vicin­ ity are invited to meet at the school house on Wednesday evening.

Almost one and one-quarter million dollars In deposits are shown in the current statement of Nashville’s two banks, the Farmers Merchants and State Savings, made public on call of the state banking department. The statements are published on another page of The News. The exact total of commercial and savings deposits on record as of Dec. 31. 1928, show $1.­ 209.178. Figures which represent the savings funds of Nashville and vicinity cer­ tainly show a nourishing condition among residents of this section. They show the community to be far from "broke" even though once in a while you find a man who complains ot the meagerness of his bank account. At their annual meetings held last week both banks' officials submitted satisfactory reports, usual dividends have been paid and substantial amounts added to surplus funds. Of­ ficers of banks have been re-elected to serve another year in their present ca­ pacities.

No human case of tuleremla contracted from Michigan rabbits or other game, has yet been re­ ported, and none of the suspected spe­ cimens of Michigan game so far ex­ amined by the State Health Depart­ ment or at the State College, have been definitely proven to be suffering from tuleremla. On the other hand, it has now been well established that there is consider­ able tuleremla to Ohio, and it seems reasonable to assume that the disease will presently show to southern Michi­ gan.

But they’re headed up the bidder. Their ideas of luxury and beauty arc expanding. They want finer homes, finer furniture, finer automobiles. During the past three years, hundreds of thousands of these progressive Americans have been buying the Pontiac Six. Some of them have bought it as the first car they ever owned. But to most of them, Pontiac has represented the first big step up from the lowest priced field. For this progressive group, Oakland has now created a brand new Pontiac Six. It repre­ sents an even greater advancement over every­ thing else in its field today than the original Pontiac represented in 1926. It will take its buy­ ers farther than ever up the ladder of motor car quality in one step.

LYKINS BRINGS IN ’ EEL FROM FLORIDA WATERS Miami. Florida, 2732 S. W. 10th St.. Jan. 10. 1929. To my dear reads of the Nashville News:— My letter will be short this week, owing to not being away irom ouP rooms very far. We took a drive out on the Dixie Highway to the southwest some fifteen miles. There are numer­ ous truck farms and orange groves around the Bayfront, down on Million­ aire drive, next to the bay. It is sure­ ly a beautiful sight to see all the tropi­ cal gardens and beautiful flowers in bloom. Several of the estates will be open so the public can drive through the. grounds by the fourteenth of this month. Last Tuesday afternoon we received the sad news of the passing away of Uncle Dan Lykins, who had lived with us for nearly eight years. It sure was a shock, as we had not had any news from home since Christmas till on Saturday. January fifth, saying he had taken pneumonia and could not recover. No one knows how badly we feel about it, only those who have lost loved ones when they are so far away. Uncle Dan was a man of his word, loved by all who knew him. and a favorite among children. He will surely be missed In our home where we had nursed him through numer­ ous spells of sickness ot longer dura­ tion than this period. He was so kind —never a word of harm did he speak ot anybody. He was your friend in-, deed and In truth. He often over-tax­ ed his strength to help his friends in need. In different times of his sickness. I have heard him call on his dear Jesus, time and time again, in hours ot agony and suffering. May it be said: he was a good man and his friends number many. We know he received every care—nothing was left undone and we want to thank every friend that aided him in any way in sickness and death. Your friendship we will always cherish. To his memory I add the following lines: You who mourn his passing on. Know you not where he has gone. Doubt ye that he knows the truth That has baffled age and youth? You who weep for him today. Who from earth has gone away. Know you not that he has found Footing on surer ground? Would you weep for one who rose Victor over mighty foes? Would you mourn for him today. High promotion, called away? He has done with care and pain— Failure cannot strike again; God has called him out of strife To a cleaner, ampler life To a richer world than ours. Clearer sight and wider powers— To a life that knows no scorn He has gone, for whom we mourn. May his ashes rest In peace . Till that great resurrection mom. We have real sunshine this morn­ ing. after several days of cloudy weath- That was held this week. Kenneth Lykins attended on Monday afternoon, and we all attended Tuesday after­ noon. Some seventy planes from dif­ ferent states participated in the great meet. We passed the municipal air­ port yesterday, where the mall planes Roe's meatmarket—and not a local hunter laid out In Lentz and Sons un­ dertaking parlors. "Them" were the days when men were men: and deer were deer—and neither mistook one for the other. Everybody was so fed up with veni­ son during tiie season that Frank Purchis never cut a man's hair without feeling around to Bee If a pair of horns had started to sprout. Once a local minister “hauled in his horns'’ when Frank told him the usual ministerial discount on hair-cuts was off. And as the male deers sheds its antlers ev­ ery year, so the good people of Nash­ ville shed and renewed their appetite for venison annually. Speaking of the hunt and chase. I venture to say that while Bill Buel was one of the best hunters. Knicker­ bocker, the blacksmith, was the best chaser. “Nick" related once how he chased a deer and finally shot the an­ imal In a wheat field. "But there are no wheatflelds In November,” said Ed. Llebhauser. Nick laughed and re­ plied: “Why. I followed that deer from November until the next July." As a blacksmith. Nick was a fine workman. Many of hunting knives and "hunting" axes were made by this artisan. Nick fashioned a pair of legirons once for the county sheriff. They were used on the most hard-boil­ ed criminal the county Jail ever hous­ ed—a fellow by the name of Easterly. There were about a dozen'men in these hunting parties. Steve Haight and Dr. Baughman of Woodland us­ ually went along, while a Mr. Stein­ metz of Ohio joined tiie men at camp Strict rules prevailed for the safety of all. If one was curious of another fellow's fire arm. the owner would take the gun down—no one was allowed to handle another man’s gun in camp. If some of the men’s wives had known what their husband’s plaything had cost, nothing sort of a black silk dress would have healed the breach and yet the guns were not all breech-loaders. Knickerbocker had a rifle that might have belonged to Rip Vanwinkle, and when that old muzzle-loader barked there was deer meat In camp. Theo Downing and my father lost their guns on one trip when the canoe capsized and pitched them in the swift-flowing AuSable. The combined price of these guns would have bought a Ford, but there was no ford in the river where they fell in. As the eighties rolled on they tight­ ened up the game laws and added a lot of red tape. It was then that Billy Griffith got into the picture. I say picture because Ed. Vannocker took his photo on the eve of his departure with the hunting party, he to act as cook. Ed. Llebhauser also Joined the deer slayers. He was running a drugstore, and it is safe to say that he was as well read in pharmacology as any druggist In the state. He knew that the shavings of deer horns were em­ ployed in the making of ammonia, which therefore is known under the name of hartshorn. He longed to see ammonia running around in its native state. But Ed., like all hunters, ex­ perienced an attack of buck fever at the sight of the first deer. The ani­ mal came so close to him that tne ammonia in the deer’s horns revived him. If it had been a doe, he might have never come to. Anyway, he passed the buck on to Dr. Baughman, who killed it in its tracks. Ed. how­ ever. killed the next one he saw. One of the events that year was when Theo Downing and my father shot a black bear. Both were hunting together, and both shot at Bruin. There were no ballistic nests for bul­ lets those days, and there was no way to prove who had shot the "bar." They tossed a coin and the animal went to my father. The carcass war brought home where It was hung up in Hank Roe’s meat market for a day or so. Hank's butcher took the Job of removing the hide. He got the sur­ prise of his life, when he discovered is was all the same as skinning a hog. All the neighbors had bear meat for their Sunday dinner, and told their children bear bed-time stories at night. C. W. Francis. WEST VERMONTVILLE. By Mrs. Roy Weeks.

Any time you stray off the beaten trail you're on • the Three Bar range. 1 don't figure to get gunned up from the brush more than once by the same man. Every Three Bar boy has orders to shoot you down on sight any time you heave in view anywhere within twenty miles of the-Three Bar; so I wouldn't stray off the main-traveled road any time you're going through.” Lanky Evans had detached himself from a group and Morrow looked up to find the tall man standing at his . shoulder. “So you hunt In pairs," Morrow re­ marked. “And later in packs,” Lanky re­ turned. “Why don't you ever come up and visit us? Every time I’m riding north I keep looking back, ex­ pecting to see you come cantering up from the south.” “What’s the object of ali this con­ versation T' Morrow flared. “If you've got anything to say to me, why, get it over with." “Nothing special,” Evans said. “1 Just thought maybe 1 could goad you into being Imprudent enough to come up our way—which I’m sure hoping to observe you north of the line and somewher within a thousand yards." Evans turned away and Monow rejoined the two men he had left at the bar. Deane looked about him. Apparently no one had noticed the little by-play. “Evans didn't exactly mean quite all of that,” Harris explained. "Of course if Morrow does come up our way Laiiky would prefer to see him first— but he would rather he'd keep away. He staged that little talk as a safe­ guard for me. If Morrow acquires the Idea that several folks are anxious to see him up there, he's apt to be real cautious how he prowls round the Three Bar neighborhood looking for me.” Deane crossed over to Billie. The music started but she shook hei head as he would have led her to the floor. “Sit down. I want to tulk with you. Long time no see 'urn after tonight.” she said. “It’ll be daylight soon and I’ve a long tale to tell. As the others danced she gave him a dozen messages to Impart to various friends. “Tell Judge Colton that Three Bar stock Is rising;” shf- said. “And that as soon as things are all smoothed out. he can exfiect me- tor a boarder." Through ar opening In the dancing throng Deane suddenly bad a clear view of the open rear door—one brief glimpse before tbe c owd closed once more and shut off his view. He had an idea that he had seen a face, hazy and Indistinct, a few feet outside the door. He wondered If It co Id be the friend for whom Harris bad search d. “Make the visit soon. BlMle," he urged. “It's been a long month since we've had yon with us. We thought maybe you’d deserted us back there. Bow soon will this visit start—atd how long will It last?" “It will start as'soon us the Three "Bar doesn’t need me,” she said. “And last a long time." Again a lane opened through the crowd, affording a view of the door. I»cune saw the face outside In the night, and a foot or more below It some bright object glinted 'n the dim light which Altered through. The mu­ sic censed and the chant of the rou­ lette croupier began, mingling with rhe smooth purr of the Ivory ball.

Evans had been sent out as fore­ man of the beef round-up while Harris remained behind to direct the opera­ tions at the ranch. , few days before Evans was due with tbe beef herd Billie rode Papoose awey from the ranch.

As Papoose topped a low hot’mc 'that flAbked the valley sbe saw tbe men riding toward her down the bot­ toms, driving twenty or more head ot cows. One of the horses threw up his head, his ears pricked sharply toward her, and the swift upward tilt of tbe rider's hat, as swiftly lowered. In­ formed her that she had been sighted. The oilier man did not look up. They lifted thel. horses from a walk to a stiff trot anti \eered past, the cows, then looked up as " just aware of her approach, and waited for her. The men were Bentley and Carp. Bentley greeted her cheerily. Carp nodded without a word. “What are you two doing up here?” she demanded without parley. “I repped with the Three Bar wag­ on and Carp worked with you for a spell, so we sort of know the range." Bentley explained. “Slade sent us to drift any strays back south." ‘Those you were driving are Three Bar stuff—every hoof." she said. “All two-year-old she-stock.” Bentley turned and ^gard.-d the lit­ tle herd they had Just passed. “Them? Sho—we wasn't driving them," Bentley denied easily. "They Just drifted ahead of us as we rode down the bottoms. A cow critter will always move on ahead of a man. We rode on past 'em as soon as we de­ cided to amble along.” She knew that they were on safe ground. Any cow would drift on be­ fore a horseman. “The only way to convict a man on a case like this Is to shoot him ont of the saddle before he has a chance to pass the cows," she said. “That's what will happen to the next Slade rider that gets noticed with any Three Bar cows moving out in front of him and headed south. You can carry that word to Slade." She whirled Papoose and headed back for rhe ranch, the Intended ee\/alues in all AeP stores!his Week u the time to buy Good Cot tea at a Low Price!

She saw Harris, buckling his belt as be ran, and tbe next flash showed him vaulting to Calico's back. The thunder of hoofs drew her eyes tb tbe bed ground where a black mass surged, then bore off up the valley. A scattered line of riders bore down on tbe herd, two ghostly apparitions among them throwing the cows Into u panic of fear. Sbe knew these for riders flapping yellow slickers In tbe wind. As the light faded she saw three horizontal red streaks ent the obscurity and knew that one of her guards was In the midst of the rus­ tlers, doing his single-handed best. The red splashes of answering shots showed on all sides of him. Sbe tagged on her chaps and boots, slipped Pa­ poose's picket rope and vaulted to his back. Tbe scene was once more Illumi­ nated as she rode from the wagon. A riderless horse circled in the flat, a dark shape sprawled near him, and i sbe wondered which one of her men had gone dovx.. A knot of horsemen' fuicn on oniI were turning up nn opening gulch the far side of the valley. JA ‘half* dozen Three Bar riders veered tbelr horses for the spot. Harris turned in his saddle and his voice reached her above the tumult “Let ’em go I" he sho’uted. "Let 'em go! Hold the herd!” Far off on the opposite side she made ont a lone horseman riding at a full run along the sidehill above tbe cows as he made a supreme effort to reach the bead of lhe rua. Tbe Three Bar men spilt and streamed up both aides of the bottoms. The flashes had ceased except for brief quivering plays of lees than a second's duration. She hung her spurs into Papoose and trusted to his footwork. A half-flare showed the pinto > bare twenty yards ahead, with Harris patting him at tbe jumps ahead. Papoose followed the paint-horse as Harris put Calico down tl^e slippery sidehill and lifted him round the point of tbe herd- In the same flash Billie had seen two slick­ ers out before the peaks of the run, flapping weirdly In tbe faces of the foremost cows. This accounted for the slowing-up she had sensed; Two of her men were before them and she wondered bow this had come to pass. The lightning-play broke forth once more. She saw two riders swinging round the opposite point. Tbe two slickers were working In the center.

Supervisors of Eaton County were expected on Monday of tills week to appoint a county agricultural agent. Decision to discontinue that office sev­ eral weeks ago raised a storm of pro­ test among Eaton’s farmer population which has evidently reached the su­ pervisors’ ears. Meeting on Monday of last week the Eaton supervisors voted $2500 toward maintenance of that of­ fice and the state will add another 81,800. making $4300 available to defray annual expenses. It was not known whether the present incumbent. Claire Taylor, would- be retained for the po­ sition. : Because of the Icy pavement between here and Kalamazoo the Western State Normal Girls' Glee club concert which was to have been given at the Metho­ dist church here on last Friday even­ ing was postponed to Thursday night of this week.

COLE PROPOSES NEW WELLS BE MADE FOR WAIER SUPPLY Bid for construction of four wells to take the place of the wells which can­ not be used because of the mineral content of their water supply, has been presented the village council by CL J. Cole. Nashville well man. who. in 'the same bid. offers to replace screens in the old wells with new and up-to-date equipment if the council so desires. Construction of the new wells would give the village a pure water supply to take the place of river water now being pumped through the mains and which, according to the state health depart­ ment. threatens the health of the en­ tire village.

Unless farmers have changed their natures recently they will plant a much reduced acreage of potatoes next spring, accoring to a prediction made by Dr. C. C. Stine. Bureau of Econom­ ics, Washington. D. C. Statistical studies, made by the Bu­ reau, of potato prices and the number of acres planted during previous years indicate that two years of unattractive prices reduce the next year's planting materially. The same figures show that a price of 81.60 per bushel for potatoes In­ creases the next planting 10 per cent, and a price of $1.80 Increases the acres planted by 30 per cent. Dr. Stine says that, although the weather plays an important part in determining the size of the potato crop, the greatest factor In producing a surplus is tiie increased plantings which follow periods of high prices. The 1924 crop of 425,000.000 bushels of potatoes grown in the United States brought $270.0001000 less than the 323.000,000 bushels which were produced the next year. In addition to the money lost on the difference in sales price. the large crop cost a great deal more to grow than the smaller The branch of the United States Department of Agriculture which Dr. Stine represents furnishes crop and market reports, advanced reports on In­ tentions to plant, and a gieat deal of other valuable economic information for farmers, who can obtain it by writing -a the Department. BARNES P. T. A. The next meeting of the Barnes P. T.

LIGHTS OUT! Now comes the burning question: Who caused the Christmas tree to be strung with beautiful Christmas lights? and if the tree was lighted, who pays the bill? and if the bill isn't paid how will Appelman the electrician, get his money? The village council faced a serious problem Monday evening. According to various members that austere body of legislative officers voted $10 toward the payment of any bill incurred for equipment and electric current used at Christmas time. And the lights were strung and "lit". And they were nice. Very nice. But $10 came a long way from paying the bill On Mon­ day evening the mayor presented a check for $10 from a contributing or­ ganization to be paid toward the lighting bill and for a time council­ men thought perhaps their action a month ago had been contrued to mean the village would pay all BUT $10 of the bill. The entire bill was $2933. and what to do with that balance of $1933 was a puzzler. Only $10 had been voted. The balance 819.33. They might make Appelman wait a year but that wouldn’t be right for he hadn't cliarged anything for his labor—just mater­ ials used. Then the happy thought! Let the council pay it. But from which fund? Whichever one had the most money? Well. It was allowed anyway and Ap­ pelman won’t have to wait. Narrow '■scape! Nashville's fire department made a run to Vermontville Saturday morning in answer to a summons from that place when the Vermontville bakery caught fire and threatened to spread to other buildings. However, by the time the local department arrived on the scene the neighboring firemen had the blaze under control and the Nash­ ville boys returned without having to use their apparatus. The fire Ls said to have started about seven o’clock Saturday morning in the rear of the building, and most of the damage by fire was done there. The entire building was soaked with water, the latter probably causing as much damage as the fire Itself. The fire was confined to the rear of. the build­ ing and roof, without any damage be­ ing done to adjacent buildings Consideration of a proposal made by the Consumers Power Company In which the village would electrify the pumping of water in the village took up the major portion of Monday eve­ ning's council meeting when E. L. Ap­ pelman, local representative of the Consumers company appeared before the council with a request that their proposal be .given consideration. An estimated saving of at least $1198 per year over the cost of opera­ tion under the present system Is prom­ ised in figures presented by the Con­ sumers’ engineers.

FURNISS Save with Safety at the Rexall Store The coo’, wave which brought Mich­ igan a blizzard and extremely cold temperatures more than a week ago. reached u far south a* Florida, ac­ cording to Mrs. Ottlc,Lykins who states in a letter to the News that fireplaces and oil stoves were appreciated during the chill weather. The letter follows: After receiving so many letters from our friends Ln the cold northland I can not appreciate our surroundings enough. A beautiful rose opened up its petals this morning at the door and sends forth its sweet perfume laden with dew. The HUbiscus are beautiful with their fiery red bloom. I see the white and pink also in Bayfront park. I can't think my letter will be very lengthy this week as I do not know much news of interest to the readers. Miami is surely one beautiful city. Suck wide lovely streets, of solid stone, with a tarvia dressing makes them like rubber. Miami has such lovely school buildings, all stucco work. You see here there is no freezing and thaw­ ing to ruin the stucco, only one build­ ing I have seen with it coming off. and probably the storm did that. Flats, •ottages and hotels that were empty when we came are full and running ever.. We took a drive last Sunday through the colored district,- street af­ ter street we passed through. They live to themselves—that is, they are not scattered all over the city like Kalamazoo and Battle Creek. They are one poverty stricken people. You would think so' if you would see them. They have their own schools, churches and movies and groceries, garages and filling stations. A white man drives a large garbage truck that picks up the garbage here. He site in the truck and does the driving and has two colored men to do the dirty work. You say slavery was abolished during the Civil Wax. The Colored people are worse slaves than back when they had a master, for the white people give them a very small pittance for their labor. A colored lady comes next door to wash. Such a beautiful white washing she puts on the line. If God made man and made him in His own image, when we all wake up tn judgement and behold the black and white alike, then what will they think? Missionary money is given and sent across the water, when lots of it is needed right here where it is taken up from. There are poor people in tills city—destitute—that are out of work, sickness has overtaken, and in some cases accidents have befallen them. Wherever you go, you find peo­ ple in need. The strawberry crop is at its height now. There is a one-hun­ dred and fifty acre farm west of Cor­ al Gables. . The fruit is washed and graded and jacked. From twenty-five acres, eight hundred to one thousand quarts a day are picked. They are shipped through the Clyde Line pre­ cooling plant to New York City in those refrigeration-equipped ship& in better condition than those eight quart Iced reefers used in the straw­ berry sections on the west coast. They are now sixty-five cents a quart. They were seventy-flve. A terrific explosion occurred at fif­ teen minutes to three Wednesday morning, about a half-mile from here. It almost knocked me out of bed. It brought out the police from all sections of the city. I could hear the cars go­ ing. One man in a cottage from Cleve­ land. Ohio. It knocked out every window and the plaster fell from the bath room. As the ground is all stone they found a place between the side­ walk and pavement Some thought a safe had been stolen and blown up. but not a fragment of steel or anything, and today's paper says they think it was a meteor, as some people saw a large light in the sky. and in a few sec­ onds tile rejwrt. I hope no more meteors fall during my slumber hours. Glass was shattered from houses and buildings for three squares away. We attended the speed boat races last Saturday. That was real sport, some twelve boats in the race Ln BLscayne Bay. You should sec all of the pleasure boats docked in the harbor. Fishing yachts going for a cruise in the southern waters. I saw three foreign vessels docked. They look beautiful with all the flags of foreign countries floating in the breeze, and to watch the sea pigeons flying and waiting for n. morsel of food to be thrown over­ board. Kenneth Lykins and some boys from Detroit have gone over to Mlanjl Beach to take a dip. Kenneth Is trying to get a permanent tan. It looks more like a sun bum than tan. He talks so much in his sleep—I don't know whether it's about these bath­ ing beauties or who. Then again it may be about those big guffs they used over in Germany—you remember the name—Bertha—they used in the war. Now Kenneth did not lose much slee;> over the great explosion, for he was htitlng on all four cylinders in a little bit. Ottie Lykins went to Homestead today with a traveling salesman. I want to take that trip next week be­ fore leaving here. Today Ls the In­ augural Day at the Jocky dub. Thous­ ands are there to see the races. It's been two years since they had horse races. I attended Sabbath school and church last Sunday and at night it was so very cold, as you had blizzard weather up there, the minister said af­ ter the choir had sung a song, if they were as cold as he was he didn’t know how they did as well as they did. They recited four cl* tire outside in the sun. You see a decided difference in the church work here than back home. They have a Bible study on a Friday afternoon at the church that is wonderful. They have that southern brogue. Why wouldn't they, when they hire a colored girl to come take care of their children from babys. Therefore they all talk like the colored The blizzard that swept over Mich­ igan on last week end was sure felt here too. People who po—eased ftrepiacea put them into use; also oil heatera. People who have been here, and left for BL Petersburg, Tampa. Take City and other places near the gulf are returning here. Three cars caxnd in yesterday saying it was so much warm- We saw Dan Garlinger'* letter Ln the paper.We received a lovely letter today from Mra. T. J. Navue, south of Nash­ ville. We appreciate all cards and letters from our neighbors and friends. Best wishes to the host of readers, Mrs. Ottte Lykins. GARUNGERS ENJOYING ORANGES & GRAPEFRUIT Mr. and Mrs. Dan Garlinger are enenjoying the scenery, climate and fruit, according to a letter received by The News last Friday. It follows: ML Dora, Florida, January 14. 1929. The Nashville News, .. Nashville, Mich. Dear News: Just a line to you to tell you I re­ ceived the three issues of the News and believe me they were welcome callers at our cottage. Thanks for same, and hope each week to get paper while here. We took a trip last week to the east coast, and tt was surely a delightful trip, especially at Daytona. Had a drive along the Halifax river, then crossed over the river to the ocean and drove for miles along the beach and picked up shells The tide was going out so we had plenty of space to pick them up. Returning from Dayton.-, we came back by way of DeLand, where we saw the cottage buildings and believe me. that is some pretty place. Some time in February we will make a trip to the west coast and visit St. Petersburg. We received a letter Saturday from our good friends. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Hummel of Toledo. Ohio, who gave us a special invitation to visit them at St. Petersburg. Yesterday was Sunday and we went to Eustice. five miles from here to hear the band play and see the alligators which were basking in the sunshine. We will take a trip to Orlando in a few weeks, and other places of inter­ est. We have plenty of oranges and grajje fruit on our lot and say, we cer­ tainly eat plenty of them every day. With best wishes to all, we are as ever. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Garlinger. « MANY DEER IN LOWER MICHIGAN COUNTIES It may prove a surprise to some of the state to learn that deer are not confined exclusively to the northern counties of the lower jxminsula and the upper peninsula. Only recently the department of conservation prose­ cuted a man in Barry county which lies further south than the state cap­ ital for shooting of a deer. The ani­ mal was one of three that are known to live in this section of the state. They are frequently sighted by resi­ dents and are said to be exceedingly tame. The deer in Barry county are not the only ones in southern counties. Several years ago some deer were brought into Livingston county for display purposes on a private preserve. Later they were released. - They now roam the surrounding country and are multiplying .according to last reports which state that there are now 23 in the band.

Susan Elarton returned home Friday from Nashville- after spending -vtth her daughterJ Mrs Clark Tttnanh Livestock feeder* in Michigan were feeding thirteen per cent more sheep and lambs and five per cent more cat­ tle on January 1, 1929 than on Janu­ ary 1. 1928, according to the report is­ sued today by Herbert E. Powell. Com­ missioner of Agriculture and Verne H. Church. Agriculture Statistician for Michigan Michigan is the largest sheep and lamb feeding State east of the MllMlppl river, and it is estima­ ted that »,000 head were on feed on January 1 this year compared with 243,000 last year and 316,000 on Jan­ uary 1, 1927. For the entire country, the number of sheep and lambs on feed January 1 this year was 4,715,000 head. A year ago the number was estimated at 4,463,000 head, and the figure was 4459,000 January 1. 1927. The in­ creases in sheep and lamb feeding were in the Corn Belt states where it is estimated that 2,575,000 were on feed this January 1 and 2. 186,000 the year before. The greatest increases came Ln Iowa and Nebraska. In the Western States there was a total de­ crease in feeding of sheep and lambs compared with a year ago on Janu­ ary first. Colorado was feeding 100,­ 000 fewer head this year. Not only has there been an increase in the number of lambs shipped into feed­ ing areas this year, but there has al­ so been a decrease in the number of fed lambs shipped to market before January 1. Feeding lambs were ligh­ ter this year than last, and there has beer, a general tendency not to finish them as rapidly as last year. Mar­ ketings may therefore be somewhat later than last year. For the entire Corn Belt the num­ ber of cattle on feed for market of January 1 this year was three per cent greater than on January 1 the previous year. Most of the states had a larger number on feed, but the increase* were largest in Illinois. Iowa, and Ne­ braska. The number on feed in the Western States was reported to be smaller than a year ago. Feeder* mov­ ed into the Com Belt States earlier than usual this year, and in November and December the movement was much less. Cattle tn the feed lots average about the same weight as a year ago when they were the lightest on record up to that time. Indications are that a Larger proportion of the cat­ tle will be marketed before April 1 this year than last. Indianapolis Piano House has Up­ right piano near Nashville.

Why, when any of the doctors went by of an evening with a leather case Ln his hand, you didn’t know whether the bag contained pills or skates. So many folks were making whoopee ov­ er the thing that one of the local ministers preached sermons against this popular Indoor sport. He pro­ claimed that roller skating was an ination of the devil to make people from grace; and many of them did fall—on the hard maple floor. How­ ever, the women's clothes were so heavily padded that none of them sus­ tained any serious injuries.

Groat Troth An 41toons man tells this great truth: “If there is one time more than another when a woman should be left slnne. it’s when a line of eiothes comes down in the mud." He pointed to tbe mud crusted on bls'clothes. Billie knew that be was the lune rider she Lad seen on tbe flanks of the herd as she r>de away from tLe wagon. Tbe fall accounted for their rounding the point ahe of him. Moore was looking off across the country. “Do you mean to tell me you didn’t see those two slickers flapping out Id front?” he demanded. “1 confess I didn’t observe any," Harris said. "Your're getting spooky. Moore. A cour’“ of white cows, like­ ly, out ahea*1 of the rest." Moore regarded him curiously. “Maybe that’s so." be said. “Waving their tails in the air, sort of." He grinned and turned bls horse to head back a bunch that bad drifted out of the herd. • “The boys made a nice ride," Har­ ris said to Horne. "You float round from one to tbe next and tell 'em we’ll soon have a feed. I’ll ride back and send the wagon up.” Billie rode with blm as he skirted the herd and started on the return trip Her mlLd was occupied with the two riders who had slowed tbe run and disappeared. There bad been something familiar about them. As she had viewed them In tbe lightning's Bash they had closely resembled Bentley and Carp. But she decided that this resemblance had been but a fancied one, suggested by the fact that the two men had been much on her mind of late. "We're not hurt bad,” Harris said. "The boy held them bunched In good shape." A batre of Slade was growing with In her. Here, too, was a case where no other would benefit by the sense less stampede. If the beef herd could be broken up It would cause a delay to round I* up In a strange range, with the certainty of many cows being missed—a case o. weakening the Three Bar. She had been so absorbed In learn­ ing the details of the new work, st­ ela ted at Its progress, that she had come to believe in Its ultimate suc­ cess. And they had been unmolested for so long a time. Then had come tbe wanton slaughter of Three Bur bulls and now the stampede of the trail herd. Il was conclusive proof that Slade bad abandoned bls former wearing-down process us too slow and was out to crush the Three Bar In the speediest possible way through any available means. Hartls, too, wus pondering over Slade's change of turtles. He felt as­ sured that Slade’s own men bud Dot participated in starting the run. Slade would not let any considerable number of bls boys know that much about him. .Some of Lang's me.: bad undoubtedly been hired to sta pede the Three Bar herd. •The very fact that Slade is so bald with It is proof that be sees the ne­ cessity of crowding us fast.’’ Hurrls said. “If we get too big a start he's blown up—and be.uasn't bad anything to work o but plowed ground. He's oti now to worry us at odd ends. We can expect u steady run of mishaps now. for be'll work fust—but we’ll win out in the end."

Bunt up an old friend or two and wag your china Mate It right secretive nnd confiden­ tial nnd make each one promise faith­ ful not to breathe a syllable to an­ other living soul.

He returned to the girl as the stuck train pulled out Two hands waved a joyous farewell from the top of the curs, delighted at the prospect of a trip to market with the steers. "I don’t pretend to regret that old Rile played even for Bangs.” Harris said. “But I wish he’d sorted out some one else In the albino's place. It was bad buu.nesr for the Three Bar when Harper went down.” “He was the bead of the gang.” she said. “The worst of the lot.” “And for that reason tie was able to hold them down,*’ Harris explained. “It was some of the outfit from over in the Breaks that stampeded us.

He'll hang himself In the end but in the Interim be may hand us considerable grief.” CHAPTER X All through the range and as fur south us the railroad it was current gossip that the Three Bur would pay a thousand dollars reward for each of fifteen men, a fast saddle horse thrown In and no questions asked. The men were named, and If the rumor wns based on truth it was virtually placing a bounty on the sculps of cer­ tain men the same hs the state puld bounty on the scalps of wolves—ex­ cept that It was without tbe sanction This backfire rumor had established a definite line with fifteen men out­ side, conspicuous und alone, and those who bad once followed the hazy mid­ dle ground of semi-lawlessness with perfect security now hastened to be­ come solid citizens whose every act would stand the light; for the whls per* seemed all-embracing and It wns Intimated that new names would be added to the original list to include those who fraternized with the opes outside the pale. Those not branded by this alleged bounty system were quick to grasp the beautiful simplicity of It alL Some recalled that a similar rumor, sup­ posed to have originated with old Con Rlstlne, had wiped out the wild bunch that preyed on the Nations Cow-trail— that the Gallatin clean-up had result­ ed from a like report which Al Moody was reported to have launched.

On every possible occasion Bar rt; flatly denied that there was a shred of truth in tbe report But these very natural denials bad served only to strengthen men's belief in the truth pf the report; and Inevitably they bad established a bard line that cut off the men so named from the rest of tbe countryside. Harris knew that bls own life was forfeit any time he chanced to ride alone. He bud not a doubt but that Slade had put a price on bls head and that perhaps a dozen men were pa­ tiently waiting for a chance at him. Any man whose name appeared on the black list which he was supposed to have sponsored would overlook no opportunity to retaliate In kind, tn addition to this there was always the chanee of a swift raid on the men who had filed their homestead rights in the valley. As a consequence Harris had taken every possible precaution. The full force of Three Bar hands had been kept on the pay roll Instead of being let off Immediately after tbe beef was shipped. These riders were stationed In line camps out on the range, their ostensible purpose being to hold all Three Bar rows close to the home ranch but In reality they served two end*, acting a* a cordon of guard* as well. Three rftnes Id a* many week* stran­ gers drifting In from other localities stopped In (’nldriver and profanely re­ ported the fact that for ao reason whatever, while passing through the Three Bar range, they bad bees held up and forced to state their business In that neighborhood.

In the face 01 continue) Immunity she was filled with a growing conviction of Im­ pending trouble. Christinas bad found the range cov­ ered with a fresh tracking snow which precluded possibility of a raid and all hands had been summoned to tbe home ranch for a two-duy rest. The frolicwas over and the hands back on the range. Harris sat with Billie before her fire. “They'll be satisfied for another two months." he said. “Then we’ll have to call them In for another spree." This evening conference before the lire hnd c-ome t< be a nightly occurrence.

Tbe girl DoddejL-withuut comment, content to leave him to bls thought*, her mind pleasantly occupied with her own. For long her evening* bad been lonely but now she had come to look forward to the conference* before the blazing Inga. She had made no at­ tempt to analyse the reasons for tbe new contentment which hnd trans­ formed her evenings, formerly periods of drah reflections. Into the most pleasant portion of each day. The weekly letters still came from Deane. The girl valued Harris as a friend and partner without apparent trace of more Intimate regard. He wondered which would prevail, the tlee which boond her to the life she new life which bevi.oned. Suddenly, without having sought It, the explanation of her recent content­ ment bubbled to the surface of the girl’s consciousness, und she turned und gazed at Harris. Night after night she bad sat here with old Cui Warren and discussed the details of their work and after hi* passing her evenings had been hour* of restless­ ness. Now Harris, the partner, bad crept into the father's place—bad In a meusure filled the void.

Misery followed • eating, and I bloated with gas. My kidneys kept me awake nights; black spots whirled be­ fore my eyes; my strength failed and ambition flagged. Then came neuritis, with its torturing pains. Nothing re­ lieved me; I sjnply grew worse. Be­ lieving that I would never be well again, I decided to make one more trial —the Konjola treatment. In a few weeks every pain had fled; stomach and kidneys work perfectly, and I am feeling better than I have for years. To me Konjola was a blessing beyond words.” Konjola is sold in Nashville, Mich., at Kane's Postoffice Pharmacy, and by all the best druggists in every town throughout this entire section.

FORTY YEARS AGO Mrs. Glenn H. Young underwent an operation Saturday afternoon for ap­ pendicitis. complicated with other troubles from which she has been suf­ fering for some time. Last Sunday Was the worst day of the winter up to date, and that means it was pretty bad. At no time during the day did the mercury get higher than five above zero, and a severe blizzard raged all day. The thermo­ meter registered from 17 to 22 de­ grees below zero in different portions of the town. The people who get their rural de­ livery from Nashville are to be con­ gratulated on having carriers who have pluck and energy enough to get out every day and make a hard effort to get over their routes.

In the autumn on outstanding event is the Junior-Senior Hunt. Each year the Seniors challenge the Juniors to hunt, the prize awarded the winners is a splendid chicken banquet As a re­ sult of the hunt, the students have In­ creased their school spirit, pleasures and sportsmanship. In the spring come two important happenings, Senior Skip Day and the Junior-Senior banquet. The Seniors choose a day on which they set out unknown to the common people. They are usually missed, sometime in the forenoon by the other students. Us­ ually the Juniors retaliate in some manner. Last year the Seniors had to hunt for their books when they arrived back at school. The Junior-Senior banquet is a longlooked for event. Even the Freshmen think ahead to that great event when they will have some part in the affair, either as Juniors or Seniors. The Jun­ iors are the hosts. These three affairs take place every year without fall, and if any one of them should be prevented by some un­ looked for reason, the students would be greatly disappointed. Then It Is interesting to note that there are certain everyday customs formed as well There is the manner in which high school students leave the building. The stairs are divided by a railing and the boys invariably take one side, and the girls the other. Then the Seniors always have the choice of desks. They seem to think Emma J. Bruce, Seth Butler, Vir­ ginia Cole, Marjorie Dull, Gladys Ed­ dy. Carl Edmonds. Emily Sackett, Robert Flannery and Bobby McClure had “A” in spelling last week.

Now, pardoning what may seem a strange prelude, I will assert that the church­ es here in Cleveland, m far as attend­ ance is concerned, have very stiff com­ petition in the dance palaces. The Euclid Baptist church, where John D. Rockefeller was wont to attend, made an • efficacious effort to secure some prominent personage (who was so­ journing in town for a profit) to oc­ cupy the pulpit Sunday evening. This gave me an excellent opportunity to hear and see nationally-known fellow creatures in a new atmosphere; ob­ serve them out of their element, as you might say—you can size a person up so much, better when he is divorced from his usual surroundings. Then too, all it cost in money was whatever your conscience told you to drop into the contribution plate. One week Paul Whiteman. the jazz king; John L. Sul­ livan, and Houdini were in town. Paul, with his three hundred pounds of ponderosity could have filled the pul­ pit nicely, but he nfight have describ­ ed Gabriel as a Jazz player who would toot his trumpet through a derby hat on the last great day. John L. would have been feasible as an ex-pounder, but it was Houdini they. Invited to* the pulpit. The hand-cuff king could get out of most anything, but he did not get out of this "bid”. He preached an excellent sermon on “Fakes and Fakers,” and tied it all up with ap­ propriate Scriptural quotations. At the conclusion of the services I had an In­ terview with Houdini, and mentioned the “phenomenon" which I had ob­ served back home in Nashville in the days of 1886—it was adverse to his line of argument. Now pardoning a "strange inter­ lude": In my earlier letters I had quite t lot to say about my "autograph al­ bum". but never mentioned the decor­ ations on many of its pages. -These clever drawings are from the artistic fingers of Tiley Parody. I imagine he was about seventeen, and presume he has long since forgtitten about the deer, birds and scrolls with which he embellished the blank pages of the al­ bum, afterwards filled with verses, no­ tations and signatures of the boys and girls of those happy years. Tiley was confined to a wheel chair at the time, and yet his optimism was an inspiration. He was an avid reader, liistorical works being his hobby. I can well recall a photograph of Boston Corbett that Tiley showed me one day. This picture was given to Tiley by his father, who was with Boston Corbett and other civil war soldiers when they surrounded J. Wilkes Booth in a barn. It was Corbett who shot the assassin of Abe Lincoln. Now. the average boy can't keep his mind on any one thing for sixty con­ secutive seconds, but that lad in the wheel chair had developed the greatest power of concentration of any one I ever knew. Tiley had a persuasive, up­ lifting presence. He seemed to have conquered all adverse moods. He en­ tertained the sort of mental states which when grouped led to the desira­ ble sort of impression on others. Ac­ cordingly he attained as a matter of habit an inner condition that may be describe',' as serenity of facial expres­ sion. The individual whose presence is serene, influencing without word or gesture those, whose atmosphere tend to a disturbance, is very much more than a person of moods; for serenity bespeaks faith, constancy of attitude, repose. One day Tiley wished to show me a drawing he had up stairs in his room. I told him I would go and get it if he would tell me just where it was. He smiled and said: "Never mind. Nellie will get it". HL' sister. Nellie was Kying with some children three cks away. But tc my surprise a few minutes later she came bursting into the house. ''Did you want me to get tl-at picture up stairs?" she asked her brother. And Houdini had said there wasn't anything in telepathy; just merely co-incidence. • C. W. Francis.

A half dozen men clattered up In front and surged through tbe door More arrivals followed as the regular afternoon crowd gathered before the bar.

Brill low ered one lid and jerked bls bead to­ ward Carson. “Broke—and reformed." he said “Maybe.” Some minutes later Carp bought tbe thirsty man a drink. "You looking for a Job?" he asked. “I can use you down my way." Carson was well versed in the bends of tbe devious trail and Carp's ways smacked of irregularities.' Carson had Ideas of his own why tbe other man was allowed to start up an outfit down In Slade’s range. One day Carp's name would be cited on the black list As diplomatic^? as possible be re­ fused the offer of a Job. The storekeeper smiled as be noted thia Carson bad turned Into a solid citizen almost uveqilght. As Carp left him and Joined another group Brill poured Carson h drink. “You're a fair risk at that—as long as you stay cautious." be remarked. "I'll stake you to a horse and saddle. You can ride tbe grubline with the rest of tbe boys till spring and get a Job when work opens up." He slid a hot tie across the bar. "Here’s your quart." He stood looking after him as Car­ son moved to a table and motioned several otiters to Join him over the bet tie. “That’s about the tenth reformation that’s transpired under my eyes In as many days." Brill mused. “Give us time and thh community will turn pure and spotless. 1 don't mind any man's owing me if he stands a fair show to go on living." The sheriff dropped In for one of his infrequent visits to Brill's. He waved all hands to a drink. “I've just been out to the Three Bar to see Harris." he announced. “And ask, ' blm about this news that's been floating about. He came right out fiat and says he's not offering a reward. That's all a mistake." Every man In the room grinned at this statement. There was no ether possible reply that Harris could make. “Of course,’’ the sheriff said reflec­ tively. “O* course there's Just a chance that Cal lied to me." “He lied all right." Carp prophesied. "I'd bet my shirt he'll stand to pay the price for every man that's cited on that list" “Pshaw." the sheriff deprecated. "That's dead against the law. that Is.” “He will do It," Carson predicted. "If 1 was on that list I’d be moving for soniewheres a long ways remote from here." “Then you'd better be starting.” Al­ den counseled mildly. "For Harris was jusi felling me that your name had got mixed up with It Morrow's name has sprung up, too. Cal seemed mystified as to how it had come about, for he says you and Morrow never rode with the others on the list He couldn't figure how this thing come tn start " “Figure!" Carp snapped. “He fig­ ured It out himself, who else? Are you going tn stand for his putting a price on every man he happens to dislike?” "But he says he don't know any thing about It" the sheriff expostulat­ ed. "So hnw can I prove he does? I’d like to know, for sure. If I thought he was actually set tn pay those rewards I'd have tn ride over and remonstrate with Cal." One or two who had been drinking with Carp moved over to speak with others and failed to return. He was left atnndln alone ut the bar. He shrugged his shoulders nnd went "Folks ar« considerable like slM»e|t.' Brill ohr*rved It occurred to blm that In every snlnon and in every bunk house within a hundred mile* the topic of conversation was the same.

February 8. com­ mencing at 1.00 o’clock sharp, sun time. The sale list includes three head of .heavy horses, three head of milch cows, two heifers and one veal calf, fifteen head of ewes, Duroc sow and 9 shoats, 25 R, I. hens, quantity hay and grain and a large list of farm tools. For full particulars see large advt. elsewhere in this paper. Henry Flan­ nery will be the auctioneer and Kent Nelson clerk. BE DISCUSSED AT SAT’Y MEET identified with activities of the devel­ opment work, will be present to address the meeting. In arranging for the meeting Su­ pervisor E. V. Smith stated that un­ certainty on the part of farmers as to whether they wished to give leases on their farms has prevented any at them responding to the offer made acme time ago in which it was proposed by su­ pervisors about the county that they secure .the leases and hold them in one group so that the entire county would stand, a chance of development and not a spot''!-.ere and another one there. While thousands of acres have been leased in several other townships no response has been found in Castleton. Because of the importance of the sit­ uation and the possibility that the whole county is included -in the oil producing district. Supervisor Smith is desirous of having the proposition ex­ plained by men acquainted with the proposition, after which It is thought Ikely every farmer will be satisfied to place his lease in the hands of super­ visors for the purpose of protecting his Interests against “wildcatting” which has proven detrimental in other oil producing areas. The meeting for Saturday has been called for 2.00 o'clock. It is hoped ev­ ery farmer for miles around will be present Questions may be asked—in fact it is hoped that any question which.has entered into the situation whatever be asked at this meeting and the county seat man will endeavor to answer satisfactorily. It is under­ stood Chat a development company is being organized in Barrs- county at the present time for the development of Barry county only. This is all the more reason why farmers should not delay in getting their leases in proper hands be­ fore development begins. BUSINESS NEWS —Saws, axes, wedges, etc., for wood choppers.

My kidneys were quickly restored, and In three weeks, my ’.erves were calmed and I felt like I did years and years ago. I am gaining rapidly in strength, energy and spirits, and I owe this wonderful change to this master medi­ cine.

LENTEN REFLECTION Ti:e church Is on firm ground in ap­ pointing a penitential season, in which it directs the mind of its followers with special emphasis to sin’s reality and to its consequences. Sin and right­ eousness are the whole subject matter of essential religion, and any inspired soul studying the problem of sin will almost inevitably reach a conclusion which, while new to many minds, is yet one of the the oldest of spiritual truths. Jesus was continually reiterat­ ing it, and we find from time to time a new prophet rediscovering it and en­ deavoring anew to Impress it on the Christian consciousness. Thus BL Augustine, the greatest theologian of the middle ages, declared: “The confession of evil is the be­ ginning of good works.” The best of us has cause to be meek. Meekness is the key to heaven. And self-righteousness is the most fatal sin. the real “sin against the Holy Ghost.” As long as the soul remains steeped in self-righteousness so long is the true communion with God and true spiritual growth postponed. If an unskilled, blundering artist who imagined that there was nothing more for him to learn were brought for the first time Into the presence of a sculpture by Michael Angelo or a painting by Leonardo di Vinci, the shamed , amazement with which he suddenly realized the gulf between his own crudity and their masterly pefectlon would be akin to the fooling which a study of the perfection of Jesus in­ spires in humble souls. When that great teacher and pattern said that the child mind is the mind which finds the kingdom. He meant tliat it cannot be found without two of the traits which are most evident in the unspoiled child —namely simplicity and humility. Having those, the disciple realizes the enormous difference between himself and the Master and meeklj’ and rev­ erently consents to learn of Him. It is well to note right here, that this atti­ tude of spiritual humility, this sin-consclousness. has in it notlilng of degra­ dation. It is not abasement: It is see­ ing aright. When wa- Jesus more regal than when washing His disciples' fe£t? Jesus and His disciple Augustine were wiser than our American poet, Walt Whitman, who in one of his rhapso­ dies extols the beast of the fields be­ cause "they do not lie awake at night weeping over their sins”. Splendid things we find in Whitman this is not one of them. The beasts do not weep over their sins it is true. But we are not beasts. Men are men. with the voice, the speech, the dreams and vis­ ions of angels. And they weep over their sins lest they indeed become beasts, as men have been known to do. Sin, the measure of the moral spaces between us and the divine, the hint of the distance that our evolution still has to go, Is as real as gold and iron. Shall we live according to the beasts, whose intellectual and moral development Is 10,000.000 to 50,000.000 years behind ours, or pattern ourselves after the Perfect Man who wept, not for his own stMs, but for the sins of mankind? That is the great question whtoh the church keeps thundering in our ears during Lent, and It is the question at the heart of all religion, all fundamen­ tal human progress. LINCOLN, THE LACONIC. There is a premium on brevity, possi­ bly because it is rare, either in speech or in writing. Loquacity is a besetting sin; volubility afflicts a multitude; gar­ rulity is a scourge. Consequently teroness of speech is the more favored. Then too. it is art to be able to speak or write in terse, strong sentences. Abraham Lincoln was not especially given to the epigram, but he was often laconic. He seldom wroU‘ long letters or made long speeches. His famous letter to Mrs. Bixby contains 135 words. His Gettysburg speech is composed of ten sentences and 273 words. Both of his inaugural addresses were brief. His longest speech, the one delivered at Cooper Union, New York City, was not much over an hour, and this was ex­ ceptional. Lincoln's letters for the most part were exceedingly short, sometimes to the point of brusquesness. Many of tiiem consisted of only two or three sentences.

Again we are to do honor to one of toe greatest of Americans, Abraham Lincoln, whose deeds and words are to go down through the years as authen­ tic inspirations to all who are humane and loyal American citizens. Lincoln is a man for the ages—an immortal symbol of the power of mind and heart over environment. Think of him in his poor lob cabin home, reading by the light of a candle; trudg­ ing' hours for a book: splitting rails and clerking In stores. And then emerging as "Honest Abe," the lawyer who never lied. And then growing out of his en­ vironment to national prominence and winning the highest office within the gift of the people. His honesty, his brilliant gifts, hla deep humanity, his astonishing wis­ dom—these were too strong to be long hidden. Naturally, of themselves, they unfolded, .as a flower to the sunlight, to shed their benlflcence over the length and breadth Of the land. Jt was not accident or “pull” or in­ heritance that brought Lincoln to the leadership of his people. Lincoln, be­ cause of his qualities of mind and heart and soul, walked as a giant, and was seen of all men. The world always discovers such men as Lincoln—they are too rare to be allowed to remain obscure.

In the old days, the game war­ den was feared and distrusted by all with whom he came in contact. The hunter believed the game warden was lying awake nights trying to figure out some means of picking up violators of the fish and game laws. If by chance an angler possessed a short fish and was found with it. he was yanked into court and made to pay. The order has change® in the mod­ em day. Our wardens try to win the admiration and respect of the state’s citizens. They are men who are ca­ pable of educating the public along conservation lines and they are attain­ ing that goal. The department's men are instruct­ ed to talk woods and water matters ov­ er with groups of youngsters. Frequent­ ly one of the wardens will stop at a run al school and have a chat with the boys —Michigan's future men. He explains the conservation business in terms they understand and makes them see the reason for things. Boy scout meetings ore frequently addressed by conserva­ tion officers.

THURSDAY, FEB. 14, 1929 VOLUME LV1 FARMERS SHOULD LEASE LAND FOR OIL DEVELOPMENT ATTORNEY KIM SIGLER EXPLAINS WORKINGS OF PROGRAM AT FARMERS* MEETING. Farmers should lose no time In leasing their farms, for oil. develop­ ment, in the opinion of Attorney Kim Sigler, of Hastings, who addressed a group of farmers which almost filled the Nashville Club auditorium on last Saturday afternoon. Details of the method which Is be­ ing followed in Barry county’s develop­ ment program were given by Mr. Sigled who appeared at the request of lo­ cal'persons interested in getting the farms of Castleton and Maple Grove townships leased in order that this end of the county may share in any de­ velopment to be made in the county. Relating the story of the development of the Muskegon fields, with which he has become quite familiar, Mr. Sigler jxtinted out ways and means by which tile Barry county organization which plans local development may profit by mistakes in other locations. According to the Hastings attorney. Harry county will have its own devel­ opment company, made up entirely of Barry county citizens, and Berry county money, capitalized at $100,000, for the purpose of developing Barry county only. Stock in this company will be thrown open to the public shortly and only a limited amount may­ be subscribed by any one person, this limit being placed at $1,000 or 20 shares at $50 each. After enough of the stock has been sold to warrant it, geologists, ••the best money can hire" will be brought to Barry county and. working in conjunction with the state geologist, will make a complete survey of the county. Every nook and comer will be explored to determine as definitely as possible where oil might be located. Following tliis determlnaUon by the geologists. Mr. Sigler said, core or test drilling will be started and the oil. if there is any, definitely located. When these drillings find the oil then wells will be sunk and there is every reason to believe oil will be struck in paying quantities. In explaning the organization of this $100,000 company. Mr. Sigler was frank enough to class the purchase of stock as an absolute gamble and stated that no one should buy unless he. or she. could afford to lose all the money in­ vested. ’ While an Itonest effort would be made to reach oil in Barry county, there was no question about the chance being taken and only those who could afford to lose should Invest money in it. Following the address of Mr. Sigler, a number of questions were asked of him by farmers present and some in­ teresting sidelights brought out. The question was asked whether on oil lease would constitute a cloud upon the title to that land, and the answer was emphatically no. for if there was no oil struck the lease would be turned back to the land owner, and if oil was struck, no one would object to having a lease go with the farm. . Leases could be reserved when a farm is sold, the speaker told his audience in an­ swer to another question, although It was not considered likely any trans­ actions of this nature would be made. It will not be necessary for any farm­ er leasing his land to buy stock in the company in order to have his kind de­ veloped. the speaker said, when this question came up. The only requisite necessary will be to have the land leased and a reasonable assurance that there is on oil pocket underlying the land leased. The speaker also stress­ ed the fatt that it would be necessary to lease land in blocks in order that one or more men might not "hold Gut” and take an unfair advantage of his neighbor by waiting until oil was struck next to his farm before he considered leasing. The question of taxes was brought up, and the speaker stated that un­ der '-he leases being given in Barry county, the land owner stood oneeighth of the increase in taxation, while the developing company stood the remaining seven-eighths, in the same proportion as returns are receiv­ ed for oil pumjied. The land owner re­ ceives a royalty of one barrel out of eight pumped, and taxation increase would be divided accordingly. Evidence that farmers are vitally Interested in the proposed development program was shown in the large num­ ber present Saturday. While no acre­ age had been leased up to Saturday it was expected that a good share of the two townships would be “In the fold" before many days. Leases are to be given the township supervisor, and he in turn, will turn them over to Coun­ ty Clerk M. O. Hill, who will hold them in trust until the new development company is ready to begin its work when they will be turned over to them in a block and the whole county will be started on an even basis. Blank leases will be found at the of­ fice of Supervisor E. V. Smith in Nash­ ville. and Supervisor Fred Mayo in Ma­ ple Grove. Copies may be secured, studied, and it is hoped that early ac­ tion may get'under way which will as­ sure knowledge as to whether Barry county is sitting atop enough od to make extraction pay. MUSKEGON MAN ARRESTED HERE BY MARSHAL DAUSE. McKinley Pllbeam of Muskegon is confined to the county jail at Hastings on a charge of non-support of his chil­ dren who live at Muskegon. Pllbeam was arrested here last STiursday by Marshal Adolph Dause and turned ov­ er to county authorities for a hearing at a late- date. ' „al Evangelical Church Revival services, which have been in session at the Evangelical church for tiw post two weeks, were closed Sunday evening, toe evangelist Rev. O. A. Newlin, of Winona lake. Ind., leaving Monday for a similar scries of meetings at Shreve. Ohio. Following the services there he will go to Detroit where he will conduct services at a prominent Presbyterian church. That the services here were success­ ful is indicated by the results shown. While large numbers were lacking, seven ‘persons responded to the minis­ ter’s plea, and have aligned themselves on toe side pf the church. Attendance at the services were somewhat limited, sickness and icy roads and walks keeping a large num­ ber of folks from taking part. How­ ever, the pastor of toe church. Rev. A. L. Bingaman, feels that the church is amply repaid for the effort put forth during toe two weeks. RITE WAY SYSTEM WILL BE ADOPTED DY FOUR GROCERS ADVANTAGE OF CHAIN BUYING POWER WILL BE ADDED BY FOUR NASHVILLE MERCHANTS. Nashville’s Indcjiendent grocers will, next week. Lake on new life and ap­ pearance as the result of aligning themselves with the R-Grocers, an or­ ganization which operates under the Rite-Way system of grocery merchan­ dising. Stores will be re-arranged where it is found advisable, fronts will be painted an orange color, and the “R" insignia will be painted on each of their windows in order that identi­ fication will be more easily determined by the buying public. Entrance of toe local grocers. C. T. Munro. Calcy’s. John Appelman and E. C. Kraft, into the Rite Way system will undoubtedly be a benefit both to themselves and the public. More than 1800 stores, all ©iterated by independ­ ent grocerymen. are operating in Mich­ igan under the new system, with sat­ isfactory results to everybody con-' cerned. Because of the organization grocerymen are given toe advantage of combined buying power of the en­ tire organization, resulting in prices more advantageous to the public. The new system, while in no way losing its identity as an independent grocer, permits the proprietor of an R store to stock and sell nationally advertised brands of goods at prices which assure good buys to the public and a reason­ able profit to the groceryman. He is offered the services of the system and its men for use in building up his own business, and in the main, it is said, chain store conditions will be inaugur­ ated without losing the Independent ownership of the business and its pol­ icies. Further announcement of the four local stores which will operate under the "R” system will be made in next week’s News, and the public is urged to read carefully the proposition as It will be explained by your own grocers. RECORDS ECLIPSED ' FOR FARMERS WEEK VISITORS TAX FACILITIES OF MICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE CAMPUS FOR ANNUAL MEET­ INGS. All Farmers Week 'attendance records were eclipsed by the crowds which thronged the Michigan State College Campus. February 4 to 9, for the an­ nual rural conference. The Thursday night feature program at tiie new armory was attended by more than-5.000 people, and. the same evening. 900 guests were served at the State Farm Bureau banquet. The new armory, supposed to care for the crowds which would come to the College for many years in the fu­ ture. did not provide space enough for people, exhibits, and features on Thursday night. In the attempt to ob­ tain positions to watch the program, the spectators wrecked a portion of the prize winning exhibits of com and ?rain which filled the ends of the big building Shows, prize competitions, associa­ tion meetings, and the general program vied with each other for their share of the visitor's attention. The abundance □f attractions left few moments of leisure for those who tried to get a complete picture of Michigan’s farm industry as displayed during Farmers Week. A general spirit of optimism pervad­ ed the meetings, and even the discom­ fort of standing in line for meals did not seem to lower the spirits of the record breaking crowd. NOTICE TO VOTERS.

Its commercial usefulness has Ln many respects dwarfed the strategic import­ ance which loomed so large when the project was first broached. The num­ ber of warships carried through its locks is insignificant when compared with the number of freighters that make their way through the cuticorryLng merchandise from all quarters ol tiie globe. Each year tiie traffic grows and the revenue derived there­ from assumes more important propor­ tions. New importance as a link in the chain of world trade will come to the Canal Zone from Colonel Lindbergh’s inaugural flight over the first air mail route that eventually will connect the three Americas. It is certain that Panama will be the central station on his great international air mail line, and as such will occupy a strategic po­ sition. There arc many ways in which shipping and air mall planes meeting at the Canal can serve each other and those each serves. The United States can afford from every angle to develop the Canal to meet every present and future need.

Officers will be elected and oth­ er business which may come before the meeting will be transacted. The ex­ change has been Tendering excellent service to its members during the past year, especially those who have called upon It for service, and It is expected a good attendance will be on hand at the annual meeting. Voters will have the choice of two ticket* when they go to the polls to register their choice on March 11, as a result of the two caucuses held on Thursday and Friday evenings of last week. Meeting at the Star theatre on Thursday evening the republican vot­ ers placed In nomination a candidate for president, clerk, treasurer, assessor, and throe councilmen, and the follow­ ing evening Independents gathered at Kraft's store and nominate an entire ticket for the opposition.

FARMERS ASK ABOUT CHECK QUACK GRASS NEW DAIRY DEVICES BY APPLYING SPRAY Michigan farmers have a greater in­ terest in dairy building equipment which will Increase the milk produc­ tion of their dairy herds than in equip­ ment to Insure their own protection from attacks by enraged bulls, if the questions asked by fanners at a ser­ ies of meetings in Tuscola county can be accepted as a guage The 255 farmers who attended the Tuscola county meetings wanted to get information on better types of cow sLulls and to learn how to Install ven­ tilating systems in their dairies, ac­ cording to reports by M. S. C. agricul­ tural engineers. A special truck exhibits model of milk houses, types of cow stalls, milk cooling tanks, ventilating systems, and a safety bull pen at these meetings. Plans and specifications for building any of these are given to fanners who request them at the meetings. The type of cow stall which attracts the most interest is the modified Hoard stall, which is designed to keep the an­ imal cleaner than was possible with the old type of stalk In tills stall, the oow is tied with a halter or chain and ha* to step forward to eat or to lie down. . The truck which carries these models will visit 15 Michigan counties before June first County agricultural agents in those counties have arranged the' time and the location of local meet­ ings. Quack grass has been effectively con­ trolled by spraying with a solution of sodium chlorate, in experiments con­ ducted at Michigan State College. The spray is applied twice, a fairly heavy application late in May and a lighter application in June after the gross resumes growth. The spray so­ lution is made by dlssolvong one pound of sodium chlorate in a gallon of wa­ ter. and the spray Is applied at the rate of from 100 to 150 gallons per adre for the ‘.Irst application, and 100 gal­ lons per acre for the second. In most of the tests at the college two sprays controlled the grass, but in a few places additional applications were necessary. The chemical does not appear to have any persistent bad ef­ fect upon the soil where it is used. The yield of crops grown on the treated area immediately after the spray is ap­ plied may be slightly decreased, but this effect apparently does not last more than one season. The spray treatment is especially useful for destroying quack grass in fence rows, where the chemical may be applied with*a small sprayer. The chemical does not poison stock which may eat grass which has been sprayed. Two things must be remembered in using this chemical. Clothing which becomes soaked with the spray will ignite and severely burn the wearer, unless the sodium chlorate solution is washed out of the clothes before the chemical dries. Rubber boots should be worn while the spray is being ap­ plied. Sodium chlorate is explosive and must not be dropped. WILL MEET COOPERSVILLE IN SECOND MATCH OF ELIMINA­ TION NEXT THURSDAY. REQUEST PAWNS ON M-79 THRU NASHVILLE-IONIA DELEGATIONS FROM BATTLE CREEK, NASHVILLE, APPEAR BE­ FORE STATE BOARD. Ten miles of county road extending north from Nashville will became state highway, and M-79 win be pa zed from the intersection of 78 north of Battle Creek, to Nashville, if request* of Bat­ tle Creek and Nashville delegation* made before the state administrative board Monday afternoon, should ma­ terialize. Seven men of Nashville, headed by C. L. Glasgow as spokesman, made up the local delegation. The others were Representative Len W. Feighner. C. W. Pennock, Fred Mayo, supervisor of Maple Grove township, M. E. Tuckerman, supervisor of Assyria township, H. D. Wotring and A. B. Mc­ Clure. Heading the Battle Creek delegation was Mr. Haberman, of the Battle Creek Chamber of Commerce, who presented a request for several projects to tiie administrative board, among them completion of paving between Battle Creek and Lansing on M-78; improve­ ment of highway from Battle Creek to the st£te line via. Sturgis; improve­ ment of‘ >.1137 through Hastings and M-79 from 'M-78 north through Nash­ ville. Ionia, and other point*. Delega­ tions, from most all of the points men­ tioned were in attendance at the meet­ ing Monday and presented their propo­ sitions before the board. In addressing the' administrative board Mr. Glasgow asked that the state take over the county highway north from Nashville 10 miles, which would make a continuous state highway from the state line into the north re­ sort country by way of this village. In addition he reminded the board that M-79 between Nashville and M-78 had been graveled with the intention of paving and that the gravel had furn­ ished a splendid foundation for paving. The completed state highway through here and Ionia. Remus, and points north would give an excellent route for tourists who drive through from Olilo and Indiana to vacation grounds in northern ’Michigan, and that any­ thing the administrative board might do to help the program along would be greatly appreciated. At the close of the hearing all of the requests were referred to the highway committee. Just how far reaching will be the re­ sults of Monday's trip to Tensing can­ not be estimated now. Paving and im­ proving of this highway north would be of inestimable value to tourists as well as residents of the section through which it passes. Trunk lines, os they are now designated through this sea­ lion, are so "numerously” numbered as to be confusing to a stranger. It is im­ possible to follow one number through north and south, and while the road north from Nashville which is now county property is as good as the state trunk line farther north, tourists and strangers invariably followed the statemarked highway around through Hast­ ings when several miles could be sav­ ed by following straight through. At least, continued pounding away may finally get the results desired. Nashville's debaters are going strong in their race toward the state finals, and after having won unanimous de­ cisions in their local preliminaries, on Friday evening went to Bellevue and defeated that school with a 2 to 1 de­ cision which places them in line for another contest to be held here on Thursday evening.

I did not view tills crime through the eyes of an innocent bystander; for It was a crime; the crime of murder. If you please— and I. a ten-year old, the killer. Often I have tried to analyze my re­ actions on that eventful night. What promptings, what impulses engender­ ed the urge to kill in the immature brain of a mere youth. You will-pro­ bably say, at the conclusion of this narrative, that self-preservation was the provocation. This is true to a cer­ tain extent, but youngsters are quite prone to flee in the face of danger. An occasional exception, perhaps, but I wasn't one of the exceptions. So in the last analysis. I contributed my re­ actions largely to the nature of the "literature'' I was surreptitiously read­ ing on the night of this murder. I was at home all alone; the folks were out for the evening. I had often been intrigued by the captivating col­ ored covers of the “nickel libraries" that were displayed at Cabrel's Bazaar. I had never browsed in this field of fiction, but that day Invested a nickel in "Deadwood Dick". All day I had been shedding tears over the death of Dickens' “Little Nell." and needed something to palliate the gloom. Now, it is quite necessary to set the stage for this colorful drama. Let it be known then that a store had been burglarized in the neighboring hamlet of Vermontville the night before. The officers of the law were searching for a negro wearing a white hat. who had been seen loitering around the town that day. Though there were no tele­ phones. news traveled fast, and it was whispered in bated breath that the "nigger" was hiding out in Nashville.

What astonishing victories Konjola. the new medicine, achieves over those obstinate cases that have defied and resisted every other medicine and treatment tried. Thousands of cases of such triumphs might be cited, but the one of Mrs. L. Plumpton. 1111 For­ est Avenue. Ann Arbor, is typical of the results that this master medicine brings. “For more than ten years I was sick with stomach, liver and kidney trou­ bles." Mrs. Plumpton writes, "and in that time I found absolutely no relief until I tried this splendid new konjo­ la. My food did not digest; I had gas pains, heart pressure, dizzy spells, headaches, bilious attacks and black specks danced before my eyes. The kidney condition got me up frequently at night, and the loss of proper nour­ ishment and sleep caused my general health to fall rapidly. But Konjola changed all this. When the '.'ery first boule gave me fine results I could scarcely realize that my long search for health had been rewarded. Day by day I grew better, and as my or­ gans were restored to normal health all my pains passed away. I feel Just wonderful, and to Konjola goes all the credit I shall never cease to marvel at what .Konjola did in my desperate case." Konjola Is sold in Nashville.

One of tlie most fundamental facts governing good sportsmanship is the ability to face defeat in as cheerful a manner as victory. If one is defeated he should congratulate the victor, for it is said. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." One should pick out companions who arc good sports to a reasonable degree. One should always play fair in games with friends. He should go into a game with a whole heart One should neith­ er be boastful of winning, nor yet too dejected about a loss. Moreover, if one is playing a game, he should do as. much as he can to keep within the rules of the game, for no one likes to have an opponent u*ho is not a good sport. All these qualifications, with many more, are necessary if one is to measure up as “a good sport."—Louis Diamante. Junior High News.

The new "R" Chain ha* in many case* brought prices lower than they have been in year*. They also add new spedaje which have appar­ ently been off the list of inducement prices in the past. "R" Grocer recognises the advan­ tages ot the Chain methods, that is, to display, name, and price the merchan­ dise so that it is f easy for "him who run* to buy.*' This display method is part of the Rite-Way System and is assisted by supervised dealer helps and counsel. The *‘R" Grocer chain has been op­ erating in Detroit and Grand Rapids for many months and has recently be­ gun to advertise in Lansing. Jackson. Port Huron. Saginaw. Kalamazoo and innumerable smaller cities covering the entire state. It is often said that "R" Grocer builds np the community as much as it helps the individual con­ sumer because it gives new life to merchants. _ It will soon no longer be a case of individual vs. chain competition but rather chain vs. chain which after all is a more wholesome form of compe­ tition. At the beginning of the year 1928 it was repeatedly predicted that the year would be a year of many mergers. Banking interests and manufacturers have proved this prediction was a right one. It is a fine, hopeful outlook for both consumer and merchant that re­ tail business as well has been able to benefit by combining their buying power into a mighty unit. Because of the hundred of individual owners, innumerable . suggestions are brought to "R" Grocer for considera­ tion—in fact the Rite-Way System be­ comes a clearing house for new and improved rricrchandlsing method*?. Just as civilization has been defined as "the opportunity to borrow other people's ideas," the Rite-Way System is the sifting and perfecting of all the best grocery ideas. It has been found that tlie general public, because of the contact with the owners who are citizens of the com­ munity. has felt free to make sugges­ tions about the new chains. "R" Gro­ cer Chain belongs to the community and not to any one individual or or­ ganization and in this way the "R" Grocer Chain is a clearing house for the suggestions and requests of all the buyers of groceries. The universality of the need and use of groceries is a practical basis for con­ sumer and dealer knowing each other well enough to exchange ideas first handed. As one woman said, "I see my very best friend only a couple of times a week but my grocer I see ev­ ery day.” "R" Grocer seems to be a step in the right direction of helping housewife and grocer to be mutually helpful.

A. Nye. Well, we wouldn't say he steals chickens, just takes them aometimes. It was this-way: Last Saturday morn­ ing while loading his truck with hogs for a neighbor, their pup rb-ased a hen who took refuge on a perch under the decking of his truck. *Ihe ? men were so busy with the hogs, biddy was for­ gotten. and she took a Joy ride to Ver­ montville stock yards and back to an­ other neighbor*, where they loaded a beef and went to the stockyards in Charlotte and returned. Biddy was forgotten until hunger called her forth and she was discovered Monday night in Mr. Nye'fl barn. She was somewhat hungry, but still able to scratch. Owing to sickness only twenty fami­ lies were represented at the annua! banquet given by the Kalamo Woman's club at the town hall Wednesday eve­ ning. Feb. 13. Dr. and Mrs. Fulkerson of Olivet were guests of honor. Three long tables were placed to form a Y. at the intersection was placed a large bouquet of flowers, and above this sus­ pended from the ceiling hung a large heart, holding a cupld. Festoons of hearts were brought from this to the ends of the tables; the table* were al­ so made attractive by the artistic ar­ rangement of hearts and red tapers in crystal holders. After a bountiful re­ past, Mrs. Olive Robinson, chairman of the program committee, called tlie meeting to order and in a few fitting words introduced our president, Mrs. Gertrude Noban. as toastmaster, who in turn introduced Mr. Joseph Mix of Nashville, who played a very pleasing violin solo, accompanied on the piano by Miss Beatrice Frey, responding to an encore. Mrs E. Grant was called next and tn a charming manner gave the toast of welcome, to which Mr. Mort Brundige resjionded graciously. A snappy* one-act play was given by Mesdames Ruth Morse, Ida Cottrell. Lulu Southern and Miss Elizabeth Southern which delighted their au­ dience. Mr. Mix and Mrs. Ftey favor­ ed- with another selection and again responded to an encore. Rev. Fulker­ son. speaker of the evening, was then introduced. He used as his subject, "Watch us Grow", drawing a very in­ teresting picture of our development from the time of John Smith. Jr., Mass., to the present time. In closing he called Mrs. Fulkerson to the plat­ form and together they sang a beau­ tiful duet, which gave a very fitting ending to the program. A vote of thanks was accorded Dr. and Mrs Fulkerson ; also the club ladle* by the gentlemen. It was a very pleasant evening and will long be rememocreu by those in attendance. The committee in charge of the pro­ gram, following the annual dinner put on by the L. A. 8.. February 22. fed very fortunate in having secured so novel and interesting an entertainer as Mr. V. R. Wotring of Woodland. He anil present a secular program con­ sisting of several patriotic numbers and while portraying them in crayon before the audience will render appropriate readings and songs. Mr. Wotring has given his program on chautduqua and lyceum courses in many of Michigan's large cities, and in other states, and it is hoped the people will show their ap­ preciation of the effort put forth to bring to this community os high class an entertainment, by their attendance. A silver offering will be taken to help defray expenses. Remember the date. February 22. Remember the box social and enter­ tainment at the North Kalamo school house Friday evening. March 1.

Miss Lake has been in the southland since last July, and live in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Nelson Cathcart, friends of Miss Lake ,and former Michigan people. The family live on the second floor of an apartment house, which is a threestory structure. The gas explosion took place in the evening while Mrs. Cathcart was preparing supper. Fol­ lowing the explosion gas and smoke filled the entire building, and the low­ er rooms burst in flames. Miss Lake and Mrs. Cathcart were at home alone at the time, and in making their es­ cape from the building Miss Lake was quite badly burned on the face and arms, , and Mrs. Cathcart received in­ juries from a fall which later proved to be serious. Dr. Cathcart arrived from his office almost at the time of the accident and Immediately took his wife and Miss Lake to a nearby hospi­ tal No serious results will be sustained by Miss Lake, which * good new* to her many Nashville friends. However, much sorrow is expressed by the Michigan friend* of Dr. and Mrs. Cath­ cart in the loss of their little one which was born at the hospital the following morning.

Billie Warren half-closed her eyes and vlewe. tbe broad expanse of rip­ pling green in tbe bottoms. How many times she bad stood here tn the past with old Cal Warren while be visioned this very picture which now un­ rolled before ber eyes in reality; tbe transformation of the Three Bar flat from a desert waste to a scene of abundant fertility . nder the reclaim­ ing touch of water. It was a quiet picture of farm life if one looked only upon tbe blooming fields and took no account of the raw, barren foothills that flanked them— the gaunt, towering range behind. She fouad It difficult to link the scene be­ fore her with the deviltry of a few months past Tbe killing of Bangs and Rile Foster’s consequent grim re­ taliation; the raid on Three Bar bulla and the -tampede of her trail herd; al! those ■ eemed part of some life ao long in the past as to form no part of bdr present No man in the field ever strayed far from the rifle which was part of his equipment But even this was an evi­ dence of vigilance which bad met ber eye every day for months and had ceased to press. They walked to the near edge of the field and Harris dropped a hand on her shoulder and stood looking down at ber. "Billie, don’t you think It’s about time you were finding out what Judge Colton wants?" he asked. “He’s been right Insistent on your going back to confer with him." The girl shook her head positively. Two months before Judge Colton had written that he must advise with her on matters of Importance and suggest­ ed that she come on at once. Harris had urged ber to go and almost dally referred to It. “I can't go now,” she said. “Not till I’ve seen one whole season through. When the flrst Three Bar crop Is cut and In stack I'll go. All other busi­ ness must wait til then. You two can’t drive me away till after 1 see that prat crop In the stack." “If you'd go now you'd likely get back before we're through cutting,” he urged. "And the jddge bag written twice In the last two weeks. Before she could answer this a horseman appeared on the valley road. The furthest irrigator, merely a speck in the distance, exchanged shovel for rifle and crossed to the fence. The rider, a j if expecting some such move, pulled up bls horse and approached at a walk. Harris saw tlie two confer. The horseman handed Home object to the other and urged his horse on toward the bouse. He was one of the sheriff’s deputies. He grinned as be tapped bla empty holster. "One of your watchdogs lifted my gun," be said. He banded Harris a me on the black list." "You’ve been on it for three months," Slade said. "Nothing has happened yet. But don’t let me keep you from pulling out any time you like." “But I’ve got a settlement to make," Carp Insisted. ‘‘Let’s get that fixed op" "Settlement?" Slade asked. "Settle­ ment with who?” Carpenter leaned across the table and tapped it to emphlslse his re­ marks. “Listen. Morrow gave ms a bill of sale from you calling for a hundred head of Three Bar she-stock, rebrand­ ed Triangle on the hip." Slade nodded shortly. “I gave Morrow that for two years’ back pay when he quit He could sell out to you if be liked." "And now I want to sell out," Carp said. “And be gone from here." “How many head have you gotr Blade asked. “Three hundred head." Carp stated. "You’ve increased right fast," Slade remarked. “I’d . think you'd want to stay where you was doing so well. How much do you want?" "Five dollars straight through," Carp said. “Cheap enough." Slade answered. "If only a man was in the market." He looked straight at Carp and tbe man's eyes slipped away fyom Slade's steady gaw*. “But I’m not buying. Likely Morrow will buy you out." "Morrow ought to be btere now,” Carp stated. "He’s coming tonight." “Then I’d better go." Slade said. "J don't like Morrow’s ways." The thud of horse’s hoofs sounded from close at hand. The two men out­ side lay flat In the shadow of the house.

He nodded briefly to Slade, hesitating on the sill as If surprised to find him there. Carp lost no time in stating bls proposition. He spoke jerkily. “I want to get <Jut," he said. ’TH sell for five dollars a head." Morrow held up a hand to silence him. "I’ll likely buy—but I • never talk business Ir a crowd.” He crossed the room and sat with his back to the win­ dow. ’“There’s plenty of time.” “I take It Fm the crowd’” Slade re­ marked. “So I’ll step out" Morrow stiffened suddenly In bls chair as a cold ring was pressed against the back of his neck through the crack of the window. At the same Instant Carp had tilted back nnd raised one knee. The gun that rested on his leg was peeping over the table at Slade; "Steady 1" he ordered. "Sit tight!" The window was thrown up to .ts full heigh; by Waddles and the cur­ tain snatched away from the gun which Harris held against Morrow’s neck. Carp flipped back his vest and revealed a marshal's badge. “I’d as boon'take you along feet flrst as any way," he said. "So If you feel like acting up you can start any lime now." • Slade’s eyes came back from the two men at the window and rested on the badge. “So that’s It." he said. with, evident relief. "A real arrest—when I figured it was an old-fashioned murder you had planned. What do you want with me?" - -~ Waddles had reached down and re­ moved Morrow's gun. “A number of things." Carpenter said. "Obstructing tbe homestead laws for one." Slade shook his head and smiled.

The Idea in my starting up was to run your rebrand on any num­ ber of Three Bar cows. Later Morrow would buy me out—acting for you: can’t be proved. Oh, you’re tn the clear, all right" Slade broke in upon the monologue. This recitation of his probable immu­ nity from conviction on every count, far from reassuring him, served to confirm his original suspicion as to the reason for this arrest without witnesses. If the sheriff had wanted him he had but to send word for Slade to come In. He threw out one last line and the answer convinced Mm be­ yond all doubt “Then a lawyer will have me out In an hour," he predicted. “A lawyer could," Alden said. “If you saw one. But we’ve decided not to let yon havexaccess to legal advice for the first few days." Slade turned on Carpenter. This sort of thing is against the ’law,” he said. “You’re a United States marshal. How can you go tn on a kidnaping deal?" “I’m not In on- it” Carp shrugged. “The sheriff asked me to arrest you at the flrst opportunity. I’ve turned you over to him. The rest is his af­ fair. Besides, like I was mentioning, they can’t prove a thing on you. As soon as they're convinced of that they'll turn you loose." The sheriff nodded gravely. “The very day Fm satisfied Harris can’t prove his charges. Ill throw open the doors. You’ll be a free man that minute." A vision of the near future swept across Slade's mind. If he should be locked up for three months and dis­ charged for lack of evidence it would Dragged From the Saddle by ths Jerk of One Mighty Hand. wredk him as surely as the rumors of the last few months had cut Lang’s men off from the rest of tlie world. Squatters had filed on every available site throughout his range and now waited to see If the Three Bar would win its fight If the news should be spread that he was locked up these nesters would rush In. On Lis release he woyjd find them everywhere. With marshals scattered through the ranks of his own men, Intent on upholding the homestead laws, he would be help­ less to drive them out If they locked him up at this time he was loot He nodded slowly. said. “I don’t see that It will amount to much, anyway. Sooner or later you'll let me out" He raised his arms high above his head and stretched. Under cover of this casual move he swiftly raised one foot. Slade planted bls boot on the edge of the light table and gave a tremen­ dous shove. The far edge caught the sheriff across the legs and overthrew him. The lantern crashed to the floor and at the same instant Morrow aimed a sidewise, sweeping kick at Carpenter’s ankles. As the marshal went down bls head struck the corner post of a bunk and be did not rise. With a single sweep Morrow caught the back of his chair and swung It above his head for the spot which Waddles had occupied at the instant the light went out. The weapon splintered In bls handa as It found its mark, and as the big man struck the dirt floor Morrow leaped for the dim light which Indicated the open door. A huge paw clamped on one ankle and a back-handed wrench sent him flying acros the room to the far wait With a sweep of the other hand Wad­ dles slammed the door with a bang that jarred the cabin. “We've got 'em trapped,” the big ia a sack." Harris made one long reach and swung the butt of his gun for Slade’s head as the table went down but Slade, with the same motion, vaulted the prostrate sheriff. The force of the blow threw Harris off his balance and as he tripped and reeled to his knees Slade’s boot heel scored a glancing blow on his skull and floored him. He regained his feet, gripping a fragment of the chair Morrow had smashed over Waddles* head, and struck at a dim form which loomed against the vague light of the window. The shape closed with him and he went down in a corner with Slade. Slade struck him twice In the face, writhed away and gained his feet, back-slashing at Harris* head with his spurs. Harris caught a hand-bold in wrapped both arms round Slade above the knees and dragged him back. His hand found Slade's throat end he Mp eezcd down on It as the man raised fcoth 1 ees and thrust them against his stomach to break the hold Slade's arxn swept a circle on the floor in search of the gun Harris had dropped but be was jerked a foot from the floor and Harris jammed his head again and Slade crumpled into a limp heap. Harris held him there, unwill­ ing to take a chance lest the other might be feigning unconsciousness. But Slade was out of the fight The sheriff struggled to his feet as Waddles tossed Mcrrow back from the door and slammed it shut He closed with-Morrow but the man eluded him. Ha dared not shoot with friends and enemies struggling all about the black pit of the little room. Morrow leaped one way, then the opposite, as the sheriff groped for him. Alden turned toward a rattle at the stove as he heard Slade’s head crunch against the wall under Harris’ savage thrust “Down him!" Waddles roared. “Tear him down 1 Tear him down I I’m holding the door." From the comer by the stove an iron pot hurtled across the room for the sound' of the voice and crashed against tlie wall a foot from his head. A second kettle struck Alden in the chest and he went down. Waddles saw the light vanish from the window, then reappear. Morrow had made a headlohg dive through the little open­ ing. Waddles swung back the door and sprang outside as Morrow vaulted to the saddle. The big man lunged and tackled both horse and man as a gris­ tly would seek to batter down his prey. The frightened horse struck at him, numbing one leg with the blow of an (ron-shod forefoot, then reared and wheeled away from the thing which sprang at him, but Waddles retained his grip in the animal’s mane, his other hand clamped on Morrow’s ankle. The rider leaned and struck him on the head. The crazed horse shook Waddles off but as be fell the other man fell with him, dragged from the saddle by the jerk of one mighty hand. They rolled apart and Morrow leaped to his feet but Waddles had wrenched the leg already numbed by the strik­ ing horse and It buckled under him and let him back to the ground aa he put his weight on it. He reached for his gun. A form loomed above him, a heavy rock upraised in both hands. The gun barked just as a downward sweep of the arms started the rock for his head. Morrow pitched down across him and Waddles swept him aside with a single thrust He rose and stirred the limp shape with his toe as the sheriff reached his side. "Dead bird I" Waddles announced and turned to limp back to the cabin. A match flaredf Inside as Harris lighted the lantern. Carpenter stirred and sat up, moving one hand along the gash in his scalp. The sheriff stooped and snapped a pair of hand­ cuffs on Slade's wrists. They splashed water on his face nnd he opened his eyes. He regarded the steel brace­ lets at his wrists as he was helped tc his feet and turned to Harris. "Don't forget that I’ll kill you for this," he said. It was a simple state­ ment, made without heat or bluster, and aside from this one remark be failed to speak a syllable until the sheriff rode away with him. The sheriff waved the lantern out­ side the door and before he lowered it two deputies rode up, leading his boras. “We started at that shot," on* of them announced in explanation of their prompt arrival. - . Alden motioned Slade to his horse and helped him up. “Shoot him out of the saddle if he makes a break," he ordered briefly. "Now you can move against those men I’ve sworn out complants for," Harris said to Alden. "Public senti­ ment has turned aganlst them to such an extent that they won’t get any help—and there won’t be any to fill their places, once we’ve cleaned them up. Deputize the whole Three Bar crew when you’re ready to start." The sheriff nodded and led the way with the two deputies riding close be­ hind. one riding on either side of Slade. CHAPTER XI The freight wagons rattled away from the Three Bar as the first light showed in the east, and the grind of wheels on gravel died out in the dis­ tance oa Harris and Billie finished their breakfast The hands had come in from the round-up the night before, prior to the return of Harris and Waddles from theh mysterious two-day trip In response t the sheriffs message, and Evans 'tad Jeff" them to Brill’s for a night of play. They were due back at the ranch in the early. forenoon and Harris had allowed the freighters to depart bef re the others arrived. “What did Alden want?" Billie asked, referring to the trip from which he and Waddles had returned late the night before. “We mriea call on Carp,” he said. “He had some good news we've been waiting for." “Then Carp is a Three Bay plant," she said. “He’s a U. S. plant," Harris correct­ ed. "But he's been working in with ns to get something on Slade—to gather proof that he's behind these squatter raids of the last few years and tlie one* they've aimed at us np to date.

A distant rumble reached her and the surface of the earth seemed to vibrato faintly be­ neath her feet She knew the jar for the pounding of thousands of hoofs, the drone for the far-off bawling of frightened cows. A low black Uno filled the valley from side to side, rushing straight on up the gentlysloping bottoms for the Throe Bar flat •They’re on us," Harris said. “I mfcht have known. * Get back to the house—quick1" ab they r i she noticed that hia eyes were not upon the surging _______ mass of cows In the valley but were trained on the broken slopes beck of the house. "Anyway, they don't want you," be made that prediction about dipping Slade's claws too soon. What with Slade locked up and Morrow six feet underground. I overconfident. I might have known it was planned ahead.” His face was lined with anxiety, an expression she had never before seen him wear even tn the face of emer­ gency. She had no- time to question him about the assertions relative to Morrow and Slade. The front rank of the stampede was bearing down on the lower fence. The barrier went down as so much spider web before the drive; posts were bro­ ken short, wire was snapped and dragged, and three thousand head of cows pounded on across the meadows. ~ ' 1 had a sickening realtaation the work of a year would* ....__ I out In a space of seconds under those churning hoofs. It seemed that she must die of sheer grief as she witnessed the complete devasta­ tion of the fields she had watched day by day with such loving care. The stampede swept the full length of the meadow and held on for the bouse. The foremost cows struck the cor­ rals and they went down with a splin­ tering crash under the pressure from behind. She looked out on a sea of tossing horns and heaving backs as the herd rushed through, the heavy log buildings shaking from the mass of animals jammed against them and squeezing past The force of the run was spent on the steep slope back of the house and the herd split into detachments and moved off through the hills. The west side of the house was windowless, a blank wall built agalnat the standing winds. Waddles was busily engaged In knocking out a patch of chinking and endeavoring to work a loophole between the logs. Harris was kluJlirly engaged. He pointed down the valley to ths south and she turned mechanically^ and crossed to that window. A few riders showed on the ridges on either flank of the valley. « “They were cached up there to pick us off if we rode down to try. and turn the run." he said. She nodded without apparent inter­ est What might transpire now seemed a matter to be viewed with Indifference. "It’s time for me to go," Harris said. ’Til hold the bunk house. Good rack, Billie—well hold ’em off." ‘ He turned to Waddles who atmworked to make a loophole through the blank wall. t and tel! her to give herself up. Brea Lang would know that. the whole country would be hunting thorn tomoe- If they can help It But this Is their last hope—to trust In one final raid. They'll go through with it Maks her go outside If It comes to that" } He opened the door and leaped across the twenty yards of open space which separated the main building from the bunk house, barred the door and looked from the south window. The riders along the valley rims had descended to the bottoms. Smoke was already rising from one homestead cabin and they were riding toward the rert. Two men had dismounted by the head gate. Harris cursed himself for not haw­ ing anticipated this very thing. Ths whole plan was clear to him. Slade would hava known that when the cow­ hands came In from the round-up there would follow the Inevitable night at Brill’s. Morrow had mapped out ths raid long In advance, engaging Lang to gather tlie cows throughout ths first night the round-up crew was in from the range and bUd them a few miles from the ranch. Lang could not know that Slade was locked up and that Morrow was dead so the raid had gone through as planned. Smoke was rising from two more cabins in the flats and Harris reproaohe himself for another over­ sight in allowing the wagons to pull out before the others arrived. The crop would have been ruined to any event but with the hands st home they could have prevented the destruction of the cabins. He transferred his attention to tbs long line of log buildings • hundred yards to the east. Tb^eow afforded perfect cover for any who chose that route of approach. They could walk up to them In absolute safety, screened both from himself and those in the main house. As he watched the doors and win­ dows for sign of movement within a voice hailed the from the shop. �-----s— Dm too cvn nor to thdtk pwt two years 13,017 acres, requiring FARMERS REACH ICO BO.

L. WOTRING HAD LIVED IN THIS VICINITY FOR MORE THAN SIXTY YEARS. Another of Nashville's pioneer residents passed away last Friday morning, February 22. 1928. when John Levi Wetring, for more than sixty years a resident of this vicin­ ity. died at the family home here. Mr. Wotrlng was 86 years, five months and 26 days of age at the time of his death. Mr. Wotrlng was born in Preston County, West Virginia, August 26. 1842. He was a veteran of the Civil war. having served with the Virginia state militia as a bridge builder during that struggle, and at its close made his way to Michigan where he setttled for a time in Len­ awee county. April 23, 1867, he was united in marriage with Miss . Indian tradition and lore provided the background for a health program given before the Nashville school children on Tuesday, February 19, under the auspices of the Michigan Tuberculosis Assocaltion, Lansing. • The program, presented by “Prin­ cess Watassa," consisted of a group of legendary Indian tales. Valuable health habits, such as sleeping with windows open, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty of water, and playing out of doors, were em­ phasized in the different stories. At the conclusion of the program, the Princess asked the children to be­ come "Happy Health Warriors" with her by living healthy lives. She left large black and orange posters, con­ taining the rules of healthful living, in each class room. The performance, as part of the child health work of the Michigan Tuberculosis Assocaltion, was financ­ ed by the sale of tuberculosis Christ­ mas seals.

JOHN LEVI WOTRING Mary Elizabeth Porter of Blissfield, Mich., and shortly thereafter came to Nashville, locating on a farm north of this place, which was then but a primitive wilderness. After having built a house of logs and made things as comfortable as it was possible then to. do. his bride joined him and together they ll\ed amid the privations of pioneer life until June 8th. 1885, when death took the partner of his joys and his sor­ rows. Seven children were born to Mr. anu Mrs. Wotrlng, all of whom sur­ vive except one daughter, Lena, who died in infancy. The others are: H. D. and Fred Wotrinoj Nashville; Glen Wotring, Woodland; John R. Wotrlng, Long Beach, Calif.; Mrs. W. O. Nease, Olivet. Bl.; and Mrs. S. W. Smith, Charlotte. On December 21, 1886, Mr. Wot­ ring was married to Miss Sophia Woolett, of Woodland, who survives and has been a faithful companion to him during his declining years. To this union was born one son, Vane R. Wotring, of Woodland. In early life he was converted and was one of the charter members of the East Castleton United Brethren church, and was an active and faith­ ful member until his death. He was an industrious and progressive far­ mer, and lived on "his farm until eleven years ago when he retired from active management of the farm and moved to Nashville. He was a devout Christian, a loyal citizen, ac­ tuated in all things by a strong sense of justice. Although his last few years found him an invalid, he was always cheerful and clung to his faith to the last. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon, conducted by the pastor. Rev. G. E. Wright, the body being placed in the mausoleum in Lakeview cemetery. GRANGE PROGRAM.

CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to neighbors and friends for their many kindnesses to us during the illness and at the death and burjal of our husband and father We want to especially thank Rev. Wright for his helpful words and Mr. McNltt and Mrs. Nelson for their comforting music. Also those who sent the moat beautiful flowers. Mrs. John L. Wotring and Family Nashville School Situation And The Alternatives The citizens of Nashville have been aware for some time that the situa- ' tion in the Nashville schools has not: met with the approval of the state and that Nashville may be taken from the University accredited list. In fact our credits are being held up by the state pending some action to­ ward improvement. This may not mean much to some of us but to the students of our school it means a great deal and the fact that the state educational offi­ cials consider the situation sufficient­ ly bad to withdraw the credit rating from the school in itself, is sufficient evidence that the school is below the standard of the state requirements and in justice to ourselves we should become familiar with the situation and consider the various means to remedy the situation in the most economical way. With this in mind the Board of Ed­ ucation have engaged an architect to make a complete survey of the situa­ tion and to offer the best and most economical method of meeting the situation and he has prepared several alternatives which the board propose to submit to the people before calling a vote on any one of them. It is no. the intention of the School Board to present a cut and dried proposition but rather to have the proposition prepared for the people's considera­ tion and approval before calling for a vote on it The proposed improvement has been submitted to the state loFicials an’d the minimum requirements have been approved by the state as well as their recommended improvement which should all be considered by the people before any decision is made so to bring the matter a point of con­ sideration the School Board requests the presence of every taxpayer at a meeting to be held Friday' evening, March 8th, at 7:30 p. m. in the Nash­ ville club rooms where the several plans will be submitted with the esti­ mates of cost and a straw vote will be taken by those present to deter­ mine the proposition which will be voted on at a regularly called election later.

WILL STUDY PLANS STATE FARMER GREW FOR HOME GARDENS HOGS BY WHOLESALE _________ COURSE OFFERS PRACTICAL EX­ CASSOPOLIS MAN HOLDS STATE PERIENCE AS WELL AS THEO- ’ RECORD FOR QUANTITY PORK RETICAL TRAINING. PRODUCTION. The gardner has his innings in the short course which will be given by the horticultural department at Mich­ igan State College, March 25 to 29. The course furnishes material for plant growers, whether they are in­ terested in growing vegetables to supply the table or flowers to enhance the beauty of the home or its grounds. The students will get the­ oretical training and then will be re­ quired to put this information into practice in the laboratory periods which are a part of the course. The most effective planting plans and the most suitable plans for starting the various plants will be discussed the first day. Seeds, bulbs, slips, and cuttings will be used in ac­ quainting the students with the var­ ious methods of plant propagation. Friefidly insects which are the gardner's aids and bugs which are the bane of his experience will be meas­ ured and finger-printed during the week, and the best ways of preparing poisonous lunches for plant assassins will be considered. The College horticulturists say that properly planted shrubs attract birds to the home grounds, and these feath­ ered friends are not only decorative but also aid the gardner in his war­ fare against Insects. One period dur­ ing the week is devoted to a discus­ sion of the plantings which are at­ tractive to birds. Anyone interested in- plant propa­ gation is invited to enroll In the course. t Sales of hogs in carload lots are not exceptional experiences on the faim of Karl Smith, Cassopolis, ac­ cording to reports by animal husban­ dry specialists at Michigan State Col­ lege. .• The Cassopolis farmer marketed 155 pigs Sept. 15. 1928, he sold anoth­ er bunch of 275 on February 13, 1929, and still has 225 Digs waiting for market. All these hogs were grown on the Smith farm during the past year. The pigs were raised from 75 brood sows, some of which farrowed twice during the year. Mr. Smith believes that pigs which can be placed on £he late summer and early spring marets return a better profit than those which reach the market in the fall or winter months. Corn and tankage in self feeders were used to bring those hogs to market condition, and Mr. Smith says that his profits would have been greater if he had used more tankage in the ration. A mineral mixture of bone meal and salt was placed where the hogs have access at all times, and the hogs*were run on alfalfa pasture. Animal husbandry specialists at Michigan State believe Mr. Smith is the Michigan champion wholesale pork 'producer, and he has 45 sows entered in the Michigan pig-crop con­ test for 1929. This contest has re­ placed the ton-litter work which was conducted for several years in this state. Credit Exchange Many Ducks Winter to Meet at Hotel On Mich. Lakes and The Nashville-Vermontville Credit Streams, Says Pimie Exchange will hold its annual meet­ Spring is the season of year for lovers of Michigan’s water-fowl life to make the acquaintance of the var­ ious ducks that visit the state. As soon as the streams and lakes begin to show open water, the migration of the ducks and geese gets under way. At this season the birds may be more easily observed at closer range than is possible during the open season than in the fall, and the plumages are far more complete and beautiful. M. D. Pirnie, department of conser­ vation ornithologist, points out that during the winter months, most any Michigan village or .city that has within its limits a stretch of open wa­ ter, may entertain numbers of ducks. Many people are prone to list - any duck they may see on the water at this time of year as the mergansers eye or whistler, the old aquaw and the bluebills are also among those that may be seen. The black mal­ lard frequently winters In Michigan, living on some stretch of open water such as the trout streams, where water cress and aquatic insects fur­ nish a food supply. School children interested in study of these water fowl have to go no further than their river to find spe­ cimens during the last days in Feb­ ruary and the early part of March. - -Furniture repairing, rebuilding or refinishing is a trade all its own.

Warn­ er, Warnerville; and Carl Archer, As-, syria. The Rite-Way system ’ is being adopted by hundreds of Independent grocers over the state of Michigan who wish to take advantage of com­ bined buying power and still retain their independence of operation. The local grocers are enthusiastic over the manner in which the public has ac­ cepted the Rite-Way idea. NUMBER 32 C. OF C.

The characteristics, mannerisms and idiosyncrasies of folks are going into the discard—there are not so many examples of propria persona as there were in the old days. We are living in an age of standardization. "Be yourself!” doesn't mean a thing. I am truly thankful that my early years were passed amid surroundings replete -with displays of individuality —town characters, as one might say. What would we have done without them! God bless 'em! They were the chiropractors that worked on the staid backbone of all small communi­ ties. Their drollery, waggery, ban­ ter and dry humor unlimbered the the-cricks tn our dyspeptic disposi­ tions. True, the gossips that work upon the segmental portions of the family skeletons are always with us. Among the local characters that are now lounging around in my seat of memory is Frank Parker. One of his back-fire horse laughs would moke a pessimist get beside himself, so he could observe how he looked to those "Laugh, Clown, Laughs" with a tear in it. . I should tay not: It were ns though the cartilaginous box, across which it Stretched one's vocal cords, hod exploded with a loud noise. The first time I heard one of Frank's guffaws I look­ ed around for pieces of his vocal cords. What would I give to hear his vociferations in the “talkies" today. Frank indulged in a humor that was oftimes one hundred per cent dry. One day, in front of the post­ office, a hobo touched him for the price of a drink. Frank may or may not have had the thin dime to spare, but he carried plenty of mental spares to help a fellow on his way. "Well, pard", says Frank, "better get on the other side of the street; work­ ing this side myself." It was an ex­ ceedingly dry humor for the human derelict . . "What are you doing now?” was a favorite salutation in those days, and sometimes it was a trifle embarrass­ ing. However, it staved off the men­ tion of the weather and yet Ira B. OUR NEW PRESIDENT.

RANDALL Remarkable, indeed, are the works of Konjola in the cases of those of advanced age. The files of this re­ markable remedy fairly overflow with endorsements from those in the eighties who have found in Konjola quick and lasting relief when all else had failed. Take the case of Mr. B. H. Randall, 88, of the Soldiers* Home, Grand Rap­ ids. Rejoicing over the health that Konjola brought him, this veteran of the Civil War writes: "At 88 I was about ready to give up trying to regain my health and had about resigned myself to sit down and wait for final taps. I was great­ ly run down; the slightest exertion exhausted me. My strength was leaving me rapidly, and I did not re­ spond to any of the medicine or treatments I tried. I had heard and read many good things about Kon­ jola, and decided to see if it would do me any good. It gave me the surprise of my life. Day by day I could feel this wonderful medicine working on my kidneys, liver, and stomach. In six weeks I felt well and am enjoying life as I did years ago. In my case Konjola proved to be a wonderful system-builder, and I can not but feel that this splendid medi­ cine has added years of my life.” Konjola is sold in Nashville, Mich., by E. L. Kane's Postoffice Pharmacy, and by all the best druggists through­ out this entire section. Atwater Kent ; !

Glasgow WHEN A WOMAN DRIVES Dr. Vltele* of the University of Pennsylvania has made a very inter­ esting survey of automobile records. He reports that women drivers be­ come involved in accidents three times as often as men. At first blush this seems to be rath­ er an indictment of the woman who drives. But let us examine'the fact further. Most of the accidents in which wo­ men are involved are minor ones. They are able to act intuitively and ■ quickly in an emergency, and so there is much less damage than results from accidents in which men are in­ volved. In addition, most of the accidents that happen to women drivers are the result at their carefulness. They drive slowly, and are struck far more frequently than they strike other cars bearing the brunt of the recklessness of others. However, it is a common failing of the woman driver to be inclined to choose the center of the road, even when she is going slow.

Your oil has had exceptional abuse this winter, with the severe cold days that require much use of the choke, thus diluting the oil.

Big Car Power, Speed and Smoothness at a price you're glad to pay I do not believe in the extravagant ideas and proceedings of those who would force an elaborate secondary school curriculum upon hundreds of thousands of young persons who have neither fitness, not need; nor wish for IL Nor do I believe in the ex­ travagant ideaa and proceedings of those who, through tractable and easily flattered boards of education, have lately saddled upon thousands of cities and towns crushing burdens of debt for the purpose of consriucting unnecessarily extensive and most expensively equipped school building, where it has been said—and it is to be feared without much exaggeration in many cases—that “the children are amused and entertained and per­ mitted to do as they please, with no thought of intellectual discipline." The simple fact is that education has been commercialized in America. The teacher's art has been commer­ cialized. It is no longer an art—it is a standarized profession. Once there was a natural glory that crowned it Boards of education are commercial-minded bodies. It has come about that it can be said with truth, and has been said, that: “There is a very large economic in­ terest in the pxpansion of the schools, not only physically, but as regards the curriculum. Every time a new subject is introduced there is a new job, new equipment to be sold, per­ haps a new classroom to .be built and considerable profit to be made. Con­ sequently the schools are expanding beyond all reason, and to the damage of pupils and taxpayers alike.” From the statistics of the United States Bureau of Education it ap­ pears that between 1890 and 1925 the number of pupils enrolled in the schools doubled, but the expendi­ tures for the schools increased more than fourteen fold! Out in Cleveland, O., where in 1910 the state collected in taxes for all purposes, including the schools, about $71,000,000. the schools alone took $71,000,000 in 1920, and in 1926 they raised this to $140,000,000! An "As­ sociation for Retrenchment in Public Expenditures" has since been form­ ed there, and one of its chief recom­ mendations to communities that find themselves similarly situated is to be very careful whom they select for members of their boards of educa­ tion.

We expect to go over one day this week and go through. The tower weighs 5,500 tons and Is anchored to reinforced concrete mat. supported by 160 reinforced concrete piles. Besides the bell chambers, the tower contains two copper steel tanks, with a capacity of 30,000.. gallons, used The for watering the sanctuarysanctuary bells comprise the finest and largest Carillon yet made. It consists of 61 bells, whose scale Is entirely chromatic from tbe largest bell note, which Is E flat. The lowest semi-tone bell is omitted and the highest octave of 13 bells is duplicated. The bells iiang in rows on four levels, graduating in weight from the largest of approxi­ mately 3400 lbs. to the smallest of 16 lbs. Their aggregate weight is 123,­ 124 lbs. The metal of which they are cast is an alloy of best selected cop­ per and English block tin. The clap­ pers hang from the Inside of the bells as usual, but are moved by a system of lever connection with the clapper which is played by the Carillonneur in a room below the bells. The best effects of the Carillon are obtained at a position of some 200 yds. from the tower. The southern and western slopes of the sanctuary are particularly' recommended. As the sound waves come through the lowest windows they are carried clearly to the base of the tower, but spread outwards as the distance increases. At the pro­ per listening place the music seems to sing out from the upper structure as if the tower itself had burst into song, hence the traditional name. r'SIngr Ing Tower”. This tower was built at a cost of one million dollars and giv­ en to the state by Edward W. Box in memory of his grandparents. February 6th we left Lakeland be­ fore daylight for Miami, over Tami­ ami Trail, a distance of 275 miles. This route took us through Borrow, Ft Mead. Arcada, Fort Myers and Naples.

It takes this ferry 5 hours to cover this distance. It leaves twice a We took the one that left at 1.00 p. bl and arrived at the west dock-6.15 p. m.. with a distance yet to drive of 40 miles over bridges and through jungles, with­ out any inhabitants along the whole way.

The island proper Is 5 miles long and one mile wide. It has a population of 18000 people of all kinds of nationali­ ties and colors.

Outside the ferry trip this was a fine drive, paved roads with .the Atlantic ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. We reached Miami on our return trip from Key West about 4.00 p. m. and con­ cluded to drive out to the beach, and on coming back to our rooms we cer­ tainly got in a jam of cars and it took us a half hour to go a few miles.

At least so thinks Che Art Alliance of America, which has announced a competition for designs to glorify that ancient and honorable Institution in­ ternationally known as the kitchen sink. This movement deserves the support of everyone! Now we know the secret behind the domestic unrest of recent years. The ugly sinks are responsible. The cast iron ink has kept more women out of their homes than the movies, jazz mu­ sic and automobiles all rolled into one, according to some experts. The white enamelled sink of modem days is just as bad. It's too clean to make dirty—and so many housewives have preferred not to use it, just to look at it The ideal would be a kitchen rink both artistic and adapted to many uses. Not too ugly to look at not to pretty to use. May we suggest a kitchen sink with the faucets fashioned in a sort of fountain-of-youth plan, with little cu­ pids chasing themselves over the ex­ terior? No doubt young wives and daughters would be attracted to it Irresistibly. All hail the future saviour of tne Ameri­ can home who will design the best kitchen sink! Trn H.ppiw— True happiness Is of a retiring na­ ture. and an enemy to pomp and noise. It arises. In the first plsce. from tbe enjoyment of one’s self, end. hi the next, frnm the friendship and coovenmtlon of a few select friends.— tddlson. suing Annual Villlge- Election will be held at the Village Hail within said village on Monday, March 11.

Miss Pauline Dause entertained with an instrumental solo. Mrs. Pen­ nock read an article, “The Peril of Narcotic Drugs", which was read in the senate of the United States by Hon. Hugo S. Black, who presented a statement of Hon. Richmond P. Hob­ son, president of the World Narcotic Defense association. We give in part his words: There are two distinct narcotic problems that menace the world. The old opium problem proper, that af­ fects chiefly the eastern people and the new heroin problem that now menaces the western nations The health commissioners of our great cities Investigating the cause of the rising tide of crime revealed that it is the drug addict. Heroin addicts are fast getting be­ yond control. Boys and girls should never take anything in shape of can­ dy or otherwise handed them by a stranger. Tuffy Ried, a youth of 20, of Los Angeles, Calif., made this statement just before he was hanged for mur­ der: “I never committed a crime till I was 'hooked' by a peddler at the age of 16 who offered me a pinch of •snow' saying it was ‘great stuff.' I fell for IL It was once too often. I never dreamed what it would lead to. Oh. if someone would only have warn­ ed me." Heroin predominates now, and the peddler, when bringing young girls into addiction, often call it head­ ache powder. Heroin cuts off the sense of responsibility in the moral sense, quicker than morphine. The heroin addict will more quickly commit crime with no sense of • re­ sponsibility for iL It is the greatest evil of all drugs. Why doesn't some one warn them? The forces of edu­ cation must join to save the youth of the land. There is’only one way to combat the great drug evil of opium, mor­ phine and heroin. That is to educate in the schools, in the home, by teach­ ers and parents. In high schools more extensive knowledge should be given. Exam­ ples for lessons in the schools should be used. * Mrs. Riila Deller read an article on "The Findings of the Opium Commit­ tee at Geneva April 12-27, 1928. The Italian delegate offered a scheme for controlling the movement of drugs after they leave the factory. It was too drastic and the scheme was thrown over. Only two countries, the United States and Japan, are lim­ iting the manufacture of morphine. There is no desire on the part of Eng­ land. France. Holland. Germany and Switzerland, to limit the manufacture of drugs, too much money in it for too many people. So The Hague and the Geneva convention failed, or deliber­ ately omitted to take any action on the matter. Left out on purpose. Mildred Dause gave two recitations which were enjoyed, and ' Pauline Dause read her own composition. My Friend.

While there is not known to be any real scraps on within the par­ ties it is said that complete tickets will be placed in the running by both parties, in both townships. REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDENTS PLACE TICKETS IN FIELD FOR ELECTOR’S CHOICE. Nashville voters will be asked to register a choice of village officers for the coming year on Monday of next week when the annual village election will be held. With the ex­ ception of clerk on the independent ticket voters will be handed a com­ plete list of candidates on both tick­ ets from which to make their selec­ tion. Both parties have placed in nomi­ nation a creditable and representa­ tive list of candidates. Heading the republican ticket is C. W. Pennock, manager oi the Farmers Co-Opera­ tive Creamery association, and the in­ dependents have placed ih nomina­ tion E. C. Kraft, local grocery and shoe store proprietor. Both are suc­ cessful business men- who have the best interests of the village at heart and who, if elected, will give the vil­ lage a conscientious administration. Henry F. Remington will have no opposition for the office of village clerk, the Independents leaving this office vacant. For treasurer the republicans have nominated Theo H. Bera and the in­ dependents Mrs. Lucy Hinckley. For assessor E. V. Smith repre­ sents the republicans and Fred G. Potter the independents. Nominations for trustee on the rebllcan ticket are E. L. Kane, LesF. Feighner and Frank C. Lentz. On the independent ticket E. V. Key­ es, Norman Howell and John Appelrnan. The News Is not interested in the selections made. But the News is in­ terested in getting the electorate out to vote. Because the village govern­ ment is a thing in which most every­ one expresses interest sometime dur­ ing the year, everyone who is-eligible should make it a point to vote. Vote as you please, but vote. E SPRING GRAINS PAY FOR FOOD ELEMENTS FERTILIZERS IMPROVE CHANCE OF OBTAINING SEEDING IN OATS OR BARLEY. Commercial fertilizers used for oats or barley increase the yield of grain, aid in securing a seeding of any le­ gume sown with these crops, and. if either of the grains is sown late, It is possible to hasten the early growth by the use of high analysts fertilizers, according to statements of the soils department at Michigan State Col­ lege. The kind of fertilized to be used depends upon the cost of the elements of plant food contained in it, the mar­ ket value of the crop upon which fer­ tilizer is used, and the manner in which the soil has previously been handled. The soils specialists advise the use of a fertilizer ha a formula of 2­ 16-2 or 4-16-4 on t soils where no legume has been grown in the prev­ ious two years and where no manure has been applied in the same length of time, if no seeding is to be made in the oats or barley. On the same soil, 2-16-2 or 2-16-6 should be used if a legume has been grown on the soil within two years. Seeding is not recommended with oats and barley on soils where no legumes have been grown nor any manure applied within two years. For heavy soils, fertilizers higher in phosphoric acid and potash are rec­ ommended. If a heavy soil has pro­ duced a legume or has had an appli­ cation of manure within two years. 0-20-0 may be used: but. when the same type of soil has had neither manure or ’cgume, 4-16-8 should be used if a seeding is to be made in the grain, and 4-16-4 where no seeding is contemplated. The 2-12-6 and 2-16­ 2. mixtures are recommended by the college soils department for heavy soils upon which clover has been grown within two years.

Louie Webb, of Nashville, Rte. 4, was awarded a state championship in 4-H club work in the “Ewe and Lamb" project by the State Board of Agriculture last Friday. This state championship entitles the winner to a scholarship to Michi­ gan State College to apply during the freshman year and they will carry through the sophomore year if the holder makes one-half as many hon­ or points as the number of credits carried. The “Ewe and Lamb" project re­ quires the care of from one to four ewes, and keeping of records from March 1. to September 30, on breed­ ing records, wool clip, pasture record, time spent, hay and grain record and other expenses. A financial statement is required giving expenses and re­ ceipts, profit and loss. Louis Webb, with Bernard Maurer, of the Barryville Live Stock Club, represented Barry county at the De­ troit State fair last fall in a “Block­ ing and Fitting" demonstration on sheep, and also entered a "Livestock judging contest" with Reginald Cridler and Bernard Maurer at the state fair. Arthur Lathrop is the local leader of the Sarryville club and has spent a great deal of time and energy with the club and deserves much credit for the splendid work being done by this club. Reatha Ferris of the Bullis school district placed third in the entire state of Michigan First Year Cann 'ng Club work. In the first year Canning club work, girls are required to can fifty quarts of fruit and vegetables. Reatha Ferris canned one hundred seventy-six quarts of fruit and vege­ tables during the season. Mrs. Gar­ rett Thorpe acted as local leader of the Bullis Canning club last summer and deserves a great deal of credit for her interest and splendid co-oper­ ation with the girls in their work. Mothers and fathers of 4-H club members of Barry county have been greatly responsible for the interest and good work which their boys and girls are doing in 4-H club work.

Garfield Farley. Albion, himself a short course graduate in 1904 and a partner in the nationally known Far­ ley Brothers Farm, will point out some of the things which agricultural graduates of this year may expect to encounter in the next 25 years. Diversified crops and livestock in­ terests and the production of a high quality product are a part of the ag­ ricultural practices advocated by Mr. Farley.

E. L. Kane was re-elected president for another year, D. D. Hess, Vice president. Gordon C. Edmonds, secre­ tary. Chris Marshall, tresurer, and Dr. E. T. Morris director. That the exchange has been oper­ ating to the benefit of members was contained in a report of President Kane, who cited specific instances where'results have been obtained, both in credit rating of prospective customers, and in the collection of old accounts through operation of cer­ tain channels cf the exchange. Furth­ er benefits might be obtained, accord­ ing to the president, if more members would avail themselves of the infor­ mation which can easily be obtained through the organization. A more complete service is expect­ ed to be rendered members during the coming year, and there is every indi­ cation that the exchange will exper­ ience another fruitful year. Manager Henry F. Remington, of the exchange, has announced that cards of members will be turned this mouth, bringing them up-to-date. Garlingers Start For Home From Florida ML Dora, Fla., Feb. 25. '29. The Nashville News, Nashville. Mich. Dear News: Please do not send any more issues of the News to Mt. Dora, Fla., as we are leaving here March 4th, heading towards honie. We expect to stop at several places In Florida before we reach Nashville. Yesterday we were out to Seminola Springs to a pot luck dinner and weiner roast, with friends from Mt. Dora. Had a wonderful time, and visited an old Spanish cem­ etery that has been there 100 years. Two miles through woods and sand roads through the jungles. . ‘ . It was a wonderful day. We all had our coats off, as it was very warm. Tomorrow the Michigan tourists from Mt. Dora have a pot luck din­ ner at TrimBle Park on Lake Beauclair. As so many Michigan tourists are here they thought it would be great to meet all Michigan tourists, and get acquainted. They will have a program in connection, and the writer is supposed to be on the pro­ gram. The Marshalls visited us last Tuesday, and it seemed mighty good to see them. Was at Sanford last week and visited the celery fields, and strawberry fields, which certainly were fine. Strawberries are now sell­ ing for 25 cents per quart, and we are having strawberry short cake, and plenty of them to eat, and will say they certainly give good quarts, and of fine, quality. Will close now by thanking you for sending the good old Nashville News to us here. It certainly was a most welcome guest. We remain very respectfully, x, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Garlinger. Electors Will Discuss Proposals for School A meeting of the qualified voters of the village to consider new proposals of the Board of Education for the erection of an addition to the present school facilities of the village, has been called by the board for Friday evening of this week in the Nashville club auditorium. Mr. Kopka, high school inspector of the state depart­ ment of public instruction, will be on hand, as well as the architect employ­ ed by the board to submit specifica­ tions. The proposal to be submitted Friday evening by Mr. Lockhart, the architect, will include an addition to the present building which will cost in the neighborhood of $60,000. It is hoped voters will be on hand to hear the proposal, ask questions if they see fit, and discuss from an in­ formative standpoint the proposals to be submitted. The jpeeting is being held for this purpose only. ATTENTION, O. E. 8. A 6:30 pot luck supper will j Thursday, March 14th, at IDO p. m. Prof. H. A. Cardlnell, Michigan State College Specialist in tree fruits, will meet the orchardists of Barry county. Although commercial orcharding is not very prevalent in Barry county, there are several owners of apple and peach acreage who are carrying on orcharding in a rather extensive way. It is particularly with these men whom Mr. Cardinell .wishes to meet Results in recent experiments and new findings in cultural practices, and particularly in the control of burn­ ing from spray materials, will be thoroughly discussed at this meeting. It is Mr. CardlneU's wish that the growers shall make this a discussion meeting, rather than of the lecture type. He would rather just sit In conference with the orchardists and help’ each solve his own particular problems. Every farmer who earn­ estly wishes to give proper care and treatment to his tree fruits and de­ sires to make them an economic as­ set, is especially entitled to this con­ ference. PERE MARQUETTE OFFERS SERVICE TO LOCAL PARTY WOULD STOP FAST TRAIN AT W OODBURY FOR SPECIAL PAR­ TY WISHING TO GO TO DE­ TROIT. Offering to stop any of their fast trains at Woodbury in order to ac­ commodate a special party of passen­ gers going from here to Detroit for the Better Merchandising Conference March 13, 14 and 15, the Pere Mar­ quette railway, in a letter to C. L. Glasgow, president of the Better Merchandising Conference, suggest that the party drive to Woodbury, leave their cars in a fireproof garage there until their return, and make the journey via. Pere Marquette. J. K. Cooper, division passenger agent of the Pere Marquette, adds that his road would be please-1 to ar­ range special cars, if the size of the local party warrants. Coming as it does, at a time when passenger service on the Grand Rap­ ids division of the Michigan Central, so far as Nashville is concerned, is al­ most negligible, the proffer of the P. M. is a temptation to the local official of the conference to find other means of transportation to the Detroit meet­ ing. Mr. Cooper's letter, in part, fol­ lows: Dear Sir: I have a clipping from the Nash­ ville paper, in regard to a party which you are forming, to attend the Better Merchandising Conference and Exhibition at Detroit, on March 13th 14th and 15th. I understand that the train service of the Michigan Central to and from the city of Nashville, is very limited, and that hardly any of their trains stop there in either direction, and it has been suggested to me. that possi­ bly your party would prefer to drive to Woodbury, and use one of our trains from that point There is a fire-proof garage at Woodbury, where ycur cars could be left during your stay at Detroit, and we would be pleased tc arrange spe­ cial cars, if the size of your party warrants, and stop any of our fast trains at that point to pick you up.

Each week the newspapers bring a complete quotation of what can be bought, where it can be puijchased and4hc prices asked- The sale is actuallyS made through the • advertising columns of the newspaper. A visit to the store next day by automobile completes the exchange of money for merchandise. How much more .convenient is this contrivance of niodern commercial and industrial genius to the inefficient method of our rural forebears who knew only their personal needs. With them there was no alternative for the slow, tedious and disappointing ex­ pedient of going to town by wagon or cart and'trusting to diligence and a stout pair of shoes to seek out the shop which sold that which they were in need of and which sold It at an ac­ ceptable price, if not at the lowest obtainable price.

The News joins with their many Nashville friends in ’ ex­ tending congratulations. The large barn on the Archie Cal­ kins farm, south of town, was discov­ ered on fire early Saturday evening. The Nashville fire truck responded to the call, but owing to the fact that the fire had gained such a good start before they arrived, the building and contents burned to the ground. The bam was about 32 x 46, we have been informed, and had more than 30 tons of baled hay and about 100 bush­ els of oats in it The origin of the fire is unknown, as no one lives on the farm at present, but is to be tenanted in the near future by Robert DeCamp and family.

Henry F. - Remington, Castleton township treasurer, on Saturday made his final return of the tajees collected and those left unpaid, to the Barry county treasurer. The report for this year makes a better showing than last, even though a slightly higher amount was returned unpaid than was returned last year. Of the $6S,583.9t> in taxes to be collected, $67,271.84 have been paid leaving only $1,312.12 to be returned unpaid. While this amount is high­ er than in 1928, when $1,193.23 was returned, the total tax collected in 1928 was $63,773.76 or approximately $4,500 less than this year. Mr. Remington will relinguish his duties as treasurer April 1. when a new treasurer will be elected to re­ place him. He will step from the post of treasurer of the township to that of village clerk, having had no oppo­ sition in Monday’s election, and there is a possibility that he will also receive the township clerkship inas­ much as he is also a candidate for that post in the April 1st election. E. V. SMITH AND FRED W. POT­ REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS HOLD CAUCUSES AT GRANGE TER CHOSEN AS NOMINEES HALL ON MONDAY. FOR SUPERVISOR SATURDAY. Ram Buckmaster, constable of Ma­ ple Grove township, lays claim to. a rare distinction. For seven, years Sam has been constable of his home town­ ship, while be has only been elected once in-all that time. It’s like this: The constable must serve until his successor has been duly elected and qualified. Sam’s successor has never been elected fir has never qualified, so he remains constable. He refuses any other office. However, he claims the right to be constable, and he is the only candidate ever presented. He’s a republican in a township where the parties are about half and half, so ’tls said, and the democrats don’t dare put up a man against him. or else they haven't as good a man to put up. Anyway, Mr. Buckmaster sits in at both caucuses just to see no one else does get the nomination. He was there Saturday. INDEPENDENTS PLACE THREE MEN IN OFFICE AS RESULT OF TICKET SPLITTING.

The Nashville Co-Operative Cream­ ery Association of Nashville, on Wed­ nesday afternoon of last week, took one of the most progressive steps in the history of the local institution when Its stockholders, meeting in a called session at the Nashville club auditorium, voted to purchase a new site for the creamery, and Install enough additional equipment to take care of whole milk. The building known as the M. B. Brooks apple dry­ er. near the L. H. Cook coal and lumber yard, which belongs to Mr. Cook, will be purchased, according to instructions of the stockholders, and the present office anfl enquipment will be moved into it, after remodelling the interior is completed. Addition­ al equipment to be installed will in­ clude a drier which will used to dry buttermilk or skimmed milk for mar­ ket in the powdered form. Separation of the sweet cream at the plant may also be done in addition to churning of butter from the cream now being sent to the plant According to opinions ventured at the stockholders' meeting, many of the stockholders and prospective pa­ trons, are sending whole milk t.o oth­ er nearby markets, thereby doing away with the necessity of separat­ ing. Most 'of these farmers could be induced to send their whole milk to their own institution under the new arrangement, was the contention of many present at the meeting. In fact, several who have been sending their whole milk elsewhere expressed them­ selves in favor of sending here when arrangements could be made to ac­ cept it. This, and because greater markets will be opened to their pro­ ducts, and changing conditions which govern marketing of creamery pro­ ducts. has led officials of the cream­ ery to make an exhaustive study of the advisability of making an incestment of probably $15,000 additional funds in facilities which wil' permit the handling of almost any product of the dairy farm. After considerable discussion of the proposed changes to be made, a vote was taken among the farmers on whether to purchase machinery for handling whole milk. This question was decided in the affirmative by a 93 to 46 vote. The second question— that. of purchasing the new site, on which the association holds an option at $1,700, carried by a vote of 97 to three, giving the board of directors power to proceed in transacting such deals as will give them one of the most up-to-date creameries in this section of the country . The Nashville creamery is one of the strongest institutions in this sec­ tion of the statfc, having last year paid out considerably more than a quarter of a million dollars to farm­ ers for dairy products. Officials have been progressive in their business dealings .have dealt fairly with their stockholders and the public and the institution is highly prized as an as­ set to the community. The action of the stockholders last week will place the creamery on a better footing than ever, if plans materialize as expected, and should mean much to patrons and 'stockholders as well as the public who use their products. Will G. Hyde is president of the as­ sociation. T. J. Mason, secretary, and 'C. W. Pennock is manager. Appearing as speakers before the meeting of stockholders were repre­ sentatives of Michigan State College, and Mr. Watkins, manager of the Hopkins creamery. Paul Rood. Bar­ ry county agricultural agent intro­ duced Gifford Patch, of the Mich­ igan State College extension depart­ ment, Jas. Hayes, also of the exten­ sion department, and Art Bell, of the agricultural engineering department. They discussed various phases of suc­ cessful dairy farming preceding the discussion on proposed changes in policies of the Nashville organization. STATE THREATENS PLACARDING TOWN BECAUSE OF WATER Castleton township voters will have the opportunity to -choose between two tickets at the coming township election as a result of the republican and independent caucuses held here Saturday afternoon. The republicans held their meeting at the Star thea­ tre while, at the same time, inde­ pendents proceeded with the choosing of their candidates in the Nashville club parlors. With’ E. V. Smith, present super­ visor, again heading the republican ticket, the republicans selected Hen­ ry F. Remington for clerk, Theo H. Bera for treasurer, Wm. Cogswell, highway commissioner. Geo. Hayman, overseer, justice of the peace, Orr Fisher, board of review. David Mar­ shall. constables, Adolph Dause, Sr., and James Howard. Von W. Fumlss. Len W .Feighner and Wm. Titmarsh were chosen the committee for the coming year. Contests were only in evidence for the nomination for highway commis­ sioner, and overseer. Here two can­ didates were nominated for each of­ fice and-it was necessary to spread ballots. All the other nominations were filled by acclamation. Von W. Furniss was elected permanent chair­ man of the meeting, with Kent Nel­ son as clerk. The independents have placed a full ticket in the field with exception of one office, that of clerk, leaving Hen­ ry F. Remington without opposition on the opposing ticket.

Some banks and business houses are distributing slips of paper show­ ing the exact size of the new paper money that will be issued about July 1. These bills, which are to be six and 5-16 Inches by two and 11-16 In., will seem sqrprislngly small to peo­ ple when they first get them. A roll of bills will look small to those accus­ tomed to such affluency when concen­ trated in these little pieces of paper. But there is no cause for pessi­ mism, for the new money will go just as far. The smaller amount of fine paper required to make these bills will save the government quite a bit of money. The power of Old Dollar Bill is small today, compared with what tie would do. a few years ago, so be should cheerfully accept a dimin­ ished size. The countenance of Washington will shine forth in all its tine inspira­ tion from the face of the dollar bill. Lucky possessors of it should take time to gaze at it frequently, and ask themselves if they are doing all they can to advance the nation of which he was the chief creator. Jefferson, au­ thor of the Declaration of Independ­ ence and founder of the Democratic party, will illustrate the two dollar hill, but no Republican will refuse to accept as many of these bills as he can get Lincoln will illustrate the five dollar issue .and every Democrat can well argue that the man who rose from a log cabin proves the vitality of democratic principles. Of the 11 great men whose faces appear on the various issues, each one gave his wisdom and his life to build up this country. So let us not forget, as we pay out our money, the men whose devotion made it possible to earn the means of comfortable living in this glorious land. would have been infinitely worse 3,000 or more years ago. It’s easier to live today than ever before. Nearly all the woes from which the world suffers might have been prevented. But when an ancient civilization was overrun by a savage horde, or when plague or famine deci­ mated the population of the fairest cities, the wisest of those peoples couldn’t help themselves. Migratory tribes have since been pretty well blUeted and ticketed, rail­ roads anef steamships have conquer­ ed famine, and intelligent sanitation and magnificently brave and curious medicine is less respectful of disease with each passing year. THE ANNUAL MADNESS. What is the funny odor that assails you the minute you step into the front yard these warm evenings? Turpentine? Mother is painting the stairs, and around the border of the living room, and a mere man has to walk about his own castle on rickety planks that are supposed to protect the new paint from feet. Why are all the rugs hanging on the railing of the front porch? What is this disorder in the kitchen? What mean these mops and pails, and lad­ ders and queer-shaped paper hangers’ brushes? When came the strange bare spaces on the walls, and why is it that the family has had canned baked beans for dinner for three suc­ cessive nights? Need you ask? Do you not know that spring house-cleaning time, that period of dreadful efficiency, is here, a little earlier than usual ? This is the season for raking up the yard, for having a sigh over the size of the ash pile, and for realizing that your clothes are beginning to look shabby. The house may have locked all right to you. But if there is a normal wo­ man in it. it will shine in the darkness any night next week. Doubtless ’tis a needful time, but the menfolk find it bewildering, disturbing and pain­ ful. A low moral aim oft will hit the dollar mark. It’s a trifle early to put up the win­ dow screens. Many persons are able to beat op­ portunity knocking. - Money may get a man into trouble, but it’s usually more helpful in get­ ting him out. A girl may be proud of her ability as a cook, but she does not want to be admired for that alone. Snake-skin hosiery will be popular, we are told. Mere man had better take a tip from Adam.

Any­ way I am not as'much at "blowing" my own horn as I used to be. It Is easier for rpe to write about someone else than it is to write about myself. But I will give you some of the sal­ ient facta about my more, or less (mostly least varied career. 1 graduated from the Nashville high school, as you know, in 1913, and from the University of Michigan in 1917. I journeyed far and long to take the first position that the cold, cold world offered, which was as Asst. Actuary of the American National Life Insurance Company, Galveston, Texas. My idea, when I finished school, was to get as much experience us possible, during my first few years out, along the lines of my chosen pro­ fession. . in 1918 I grasped the of becoming associated w i of Frank J. Haight, Consulting Actuary, Indian­ apolis, Indiana. The war hastened the variety of my quest for experi­ ence. Many of the country's Actuar­ ies were in service, and I moved rap­ idly for the next year and a half. Suc­ cessively, I became Actuary of the Midland Life Insurance Co., Saint Paul, Minn., and the First National­ Northwestern Life Ins. Co., Pierre, South Dakota, at the same time do­ ing some consulting work for several other smaller companies in Minn., and and South Dakota. . In 1919 I moved to Milwaukee, Wis., to assume the position of Actu­ ary and AssL Secretary of The Old Line Life Insurance Co. of America, where I remained for six and a half lose my equilibrium falling complete­ ly from grace in 1921, when Miss Hope LaRose Tharpe gave her con­ sent to a partnership.

Telling Tales Out of School An incident occurred while I was publishing a newspaper in a town in Northern Ohio that hooks up with the old home town. It was during the war when the local steel workers were conserving on sugar and spending the rewards of economy on ten dollar silk shirts. It was on a meatless day when a meatless-looking individual drifted into the office for some ex­ changes. He was an old-time char­ acter ;a member of a troupe which was playing melodramas under can­ vas in town. He claimed to have learned the printer’s trade at one time ia his.life. Every ham actor says that, but hand one of them a composing atlck and he will grab it as awkwardly as an eld maid snatch­ ing her first kiss. I think Len W. Feighner will bear me out in this statement— Imean in regard to the composing stick. This old mine claimed to have played' In every small town in the United States. I thought be was tak­ ing in too much territory, and I pin­ ned him down .to one particular spot —the old home town. And how be did laugh. Yes. that was one town be never would forget Played there in the eighties on several occasion^. The first time he hit the town he was with Ada Gray. If I remember right I among whom was George Truman. But anyway, Ada's starring vehicle was •’Under the Gaslight." There is one scene in it where the hero is bound to a railroad track with a large rope. The rope had to be large so those sitting in the rear seats would know he was hog-tied. The heroine discovers her lover in this predicament just as the locomotive Is whistling in the’ distance. I can’t re­ member who they got to whistle for the engine, but I know we had a lot of good whistlers. Frantically, the girl tears her hair In search of some­ thing that will serve In cutting the rope. On the stage, in full view of the audience. Is a large axe, but the tears of the heroine prevent her from see­ ing It. This old-time actor said it must have gone over big in Nash­ ville, for one man in the audience be­ came so excited that he rose In his chair and exclaimed in a loud voice: "There is a naxe over there." I re­ member this Incident. The man who was getting his money's worth was Uncle Henry Barnum. Then the old actor told of another time when he played with Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell in "Uncle Josh." One scene represents a squalid quarters in the top story of an old tenement building ;where the drunken father and his daughter make their home. The old actor played the part of the drunken father, and comes home one night and finds no whiskey in the house. He is so thirsty that he grabs up a lamp and drinks the oil. It's not oil. just water, but in Nashville some one had filled the lamp with kerosene. The old fellow said if the thing had happened now, it would have proba­ bly tasted all right. Nashville was considered a - good show town In those uays. I think Frank Tucker drew the best house. He was about the only showman that gave our kid band any. mon^y when we played out in front of the opera house before the curtain rose. Most of the shows wanted us to play for the pleasure of seeing the perfor­ mance. and we used to do that. We didn't get any tickets; an instrument under our arm passed us in. Many a kid got in on a horn we passed out to him through a window. Clyde W. Francis. POLARINE it made in different grades—there it one made specially for YOUR car. If you use Polarine and drain the crankcase every 500 miles you are assured your engine is thor­ oughly and adequately protected. Trust Your Engine to Polarine! It’s the best lubrica­ tion money can buy. Polarine is made by the Standard Oil Company [IndianaJ— is one of its major products in fact—has helped to build its reputation! In manufacturing Polarine the latest and most advanced refining practices are employed.

Two mon turned their attention to the one who handicapped their chances of locating the crawling man nnd poured their fire through the window. He dropped to the floor and peered from a crack. The firing had sudden­ ly ceased. He saw a hat moving up a coulee, a mere flash here and there above the sage ns the owner of it ran. The smoke hurt his eyes nnd the heat seemed to crack his skin. He crossed over to see If Harris was down; that would account for the sud­ den cessation of shooting from the hills back of the house. The raiders In the lower'field were riding swiftly for the far side of the valley. One man knelt near the heal! gate, then moupted and jumped his horse off after the rest. Waddles put the whole force of his lungs behind one mighty cheer. Far down along the rim of the volk-y, out’ined against the sky, f"ur mules were running ns so many startled deer under the bite of the lash nnd six men swayed and clung to the wagon that lurched behind. Three men unloaded from the wagon' as It came opposite the cljtstcr of men riding far out across the finis. They opened a long-range fire nt a thousand yards while the others stayed with the wagon ns It rocked on toward the burning ranch. Billie was running to the brush nt the spot where Harris had disap­ peared. He rose to meet her. “Cal. you're not hurt?" she asked. “Not a scratch,'' he tald. •’Thanks to you.’’ In hdr relief she grasped ids arm nnd gave It a fierce little squeeze. ■ Then It's all right." she said. Waddles burst from the door of the bunting house, ills arms piled high with salvage. “We'll save what we can." Harris said nnd started for the house. As he ran the valley rocked with a con­ cussion which nearly threw him flat nnd a, column of fragments and trash rose a hundred feet above the spot where the head gate had been but a second past. A dozen running horses flipped over the edge of the hill and plunged down toward the ranch. The men were back from Brill's. Harris hold up his hand to halt the riders ns they would have kept on past the house. He knew that the raiders stationed behind the ranch had long since reached their horses nnd were lost In the choppy hills. He waved all hr.nds toward the buildings nnd they swarmed Inside, carrying out load after load of such articles ns could he moved and piling them out of reach of the flames. The girl sat apart and watched them work. Her lethargy had returned. It seemed a small matter to rescue these trinkets when the Three Bar was a total wreck. ■ Harris caught two of the middled horses I hut had carried the men from Brill's and crossed over to where the girl mi “Let's Ide down Io the field.” he said. “An-1 see what's got to he done. I expect -i week's work will repair that part f II all right." She gu ed nt him In limnzement He spoke of r pairing the damage while the Three liar burned before his eyes. But she rose and mounted the horse nnd they rode off down what had once been the lane, the fence flattened by the rushing horde of cat­ tle that had swept through. Tbe homestead cabins smoked but still stood Intact. “Look!" tie urged cheerfully. “Those logs were too green to burn. We won't even have to rebuild. They'll look a little charred round the edges maybe, but otherwise ns good as new. We're not bail hurt. They can't hurt our land. I'd rather have this flat right now—tin* way It stands—than three thousand head of cows on the range nnd no land nt all. We can re­ build the place rids winter while work I Is slack. Build better than before" I His enthusiasm failed to touch her. For her the Three Bar was wrecked, the old home gone, and her gaze kept straying back to the eddying black Bulk Rolled Oats 6 lbs.

They rode from the devastated fields and angled southwest across the range. hen some ten miles from the Three Bar Harris dismounted on a ridge nnd sh * joined him, listening with entirp Indifference to Ids optlmlsMc plans. “We're only scratched." he said. “It won't mutter in the end." “This k the end." She dissented, “The Three Bur is done.” “It's Just the slurt." he returned. “Il's the end for them! Don't you see? They staked everything on one bl" raid that would snuish the 'r ree Bar und <'lseourage the rest from duplicating our move. That would give Shine a new lease of life—delay the inevitable fur a few more years. They oiade one final attempt nnd lost. They're through!" he asserted posllively. "Thai's their last ahoL We're only delayed- that’s all. The home­ stead cabins sire only charred. Tbe old buildings at llie ranch are gone. I'll put a crew In the bills getting out new logs und there'll be enough out-of-Job peelers riding grub-line to rebuild th. whole place. We’ve got obr lund. The hay Is tramped flat right now but tbe roots aren't hurt. Next spring will show tbe whole flat coming up with a heavy stand of hay.” “You’re a good partner. Cal," she said. “You've dune your best. But the whole thing would only happen over again. Slade's too strong for us.” “Slade's through!" be asserted. “He's locked up und when he gets out his hands will be tied. Inside ot a month the law will be in the saddle for the first time In years. Once Al­ den gets a grip on things, with folks behind him, he'll never lose it again.” He painted the future of tbe Three Bur us the foremost outfit within a hundred miles, but her mind was busy with a future so entirely differ­ ent from the one he portrayed that she scarcely grasped his words. Al­ ways she had beard her parents si>euk of the day when they should go back home: and she had always felt that the day would come when she, too, would live In the place from which they had come—with frequent trips back to the range. The love for thq ranch had delayed her departure. j ! ' | > ' ; ■ from year to year. Kj«t now the old familiar, buildings were gore and there were no ties to hold her here, or even to* cull her back once she was gone. Harris rose and pointed, rousing her from her abstraction. Down In the valley below them filed a long line of dusty horsemen. “Tfiere is the law!” he said. “That’s what I brought you here to see. It's what we've been waiting for. That little procession stunds for organized law!" She turned and looked behind her as her enr caught the thud of hoofs and Jangle of equipment. The Three Bar men were just topping the ridge. Harris knew that action, not inac­ tion was the best outlet for her ener­ gies, temporarily smothered by the 0hock of the raid. 1 thought maybe you'd like to go." he said. “The jaunt will do you good." j She showed the first sign of Inter- i est s!;e had evidenced. "And we're going to the Breaks.” she stated. “That's where." he sahn “We'll or­ der them to give up und stand trial. They won't. Then we'll" clean them out. Hunt them down like rats’” The little bund In the valley was drawing near. She recognized Carp, Bentley and another Slade man rid­ ing with the sheriff at their head. "What’s Bentley doing there?" she asked. ' ■ “One of Carp's niefi," Harris said. “If any of them get away from us Carp will hound them down.' He wears the U. 8. badge nnd won't be stopped by any feeling about cross­ ing the Utah or Idaho lines. Rustling is of no Interest to him. That’s the sheriff's Job. But Carp. will round them up for obstructing the home­ stead laws.” The Three Bar men came np and halted. Harris and tbe girl changed mounts and led their men down to Join the file of riders below. It was well after sundown when they halted In a sheltered valley Waddles cooked n tnenl over an open fire. Bed rolls were spread and the mtn were instantly asleep. Thre* hours before sunup the cook was once more busy round a Are. 29c Tfie meal was boltKrand each man lashed a generous lunch on his saddle before riding off. Daylight found them twenty miles from camp and the horses were breathing hard. They turned Into a coulee threaded by a well-worn trail. Three miles ulong this Bentley turned to the right up a branching gulch with eight men. Another mile and Carp led a similar detachment off to the left. Billie rode with the sheriff and Harris ut the bead of the rest, holding to the beaten trait Harris motioned to Billie. “You fall back,” he said. The men had drawn their rilles from tbe scab­ bards. "They never did post a guard. •But there's just a chance. So fur a little piece you’d better bring up the rear.” Harris turned up a side pocket and the men waited while he and the sheriff climlied a ridge on foot to in­ vestigate. Harris motioned to tlio girl. “Come along up where you can see," he said and she followed them up the ridge. "From behind n sage-dump Bar rls trained his glasses on the group u mile out across the shallow basin. Two men stood before a teepee near the stockade. There were two other teuts inside the structure, with' a number of men moving about them. He handed his glasses to the girl. “We’ll be starting," be said. "By the time we get fixed the rest will be dosing in. You stay here and watch tiie whole thlnfc" “I’m going along,” she said. "I'm as good a shot us there Is in tbe hills.

Reiterating .his statements made ten days ago when he was a visitor to Nashville investigating the local water conditions, Mr. R. J. Faust, of the state department of health, told members of the village council on Monday evening that unless Nash­ ville took steps to prodlve a pure wa­ ter supply for its Inhabitants and transients, the state would be forced to protect the traveling public by placarding each highway entering the village with warning signs telling that the water supply is unfit to drink. Mr. Faust confined his remarks to con­ dition of the present river water and the advantages of a pure source of supply which might be used without fear of contamination. In his report to the council Mr. Faust stated that evidence of sewage disposal in the water now flowing through village mains made It not on­ ly unfit for use, but dangerous as well, and that while no serious results might have developed in the past there was no guarantee as to what results might be in the- future and advised in favor of purification, eith­ er from chlorination, which he said would be impractical for a town the size of Npshville, or from wells. He spoke in favor of the latter because of the known presence of excellent water at depths of less than fifty feet. Statements that it was believed septic tanks were being drained into the river above the intake of village pumps brpught suggestions from councilmen that drastic action be tak­ en to stop such practice, and it is quite likely that investigation will be made of reported Instances where such Is believed to be the case. This however,_will not satisfy the state even if these sources of contamination are eliminated. The fact that the.riv­ er would remain a nunprotected source of supply would still leave doubt in the minds of state officials as to the purity and safety of the wa­ ter, according to Mr. Faust While the state representative ad­ vised a certain type of well, one of which, he stated, would be sufficient to furnish more water than the vil­ lage would ever use, he suggested that councilmen take a month to in­ vestigate the possibilities, secure fur­ ther information on the subject and otherwise familiarize themselves with the necessary procedure The result was a motion that placed the proposi­ tion in the realm of investigated sub­ jects until the regular meeting one month hence, when it is likely some action will’be taken. Allowance of the regular monthly bills, and appointment of various com­ mittees by President E. C. Kraft, fin­ ished the evening. The committees are as follows: Street—Keyes, Hannemann. Howell. Water Works—Schantz, Keyes. Light—Hannemann, Keyes, Lentz. Finance—Schantz, Lentz, Green­ field. Park—Greenfield, Howell, Hanneman. The meeting Monday evening was the first with the new president and councilmen in their chairs. Clerk Ralph V. McNltt served his last meeting in this capacity and next month H. F. Remington will be trans­ acting the duties of this office. R. H. Olin Wins Skipper’s Trophy Ralph H. Olin, local ice boat en­ thusiast, took an active part in the races held at Gull Lake during Feb­ ruary and March and is the winner of the prized Skipper's Cup ,a fine tro­ phy offered by the Northwestern Ice Yacht association comprising the states of Wisconsin, Ohio and Michi­ gan. The large silver cup, tendered this year for the first time, goes to the skipper with the best record in three races, the WilLs free for all handicap, the Commodore's race for 450 foot boats and the Carney race for 350 foot boats. Sailing the "Run­ ning Wild," a new 350 foot boat own­ ed by Louis P. Simons of Kalamazoo, Mr. Olin won all three races, copping the Wills trophy in five straight heats and taking three out of five heats in the Commodore and the Carney events. This exceptional record gave him a total of 2200 points, more than enough to win the trophy, and a real mark for the other skippers of the as­ sociation to shoot at. Bee Keeper* School For Barry County Arrangements have been completed for the conducting of an all day Bee Keepers' school, Wednesday. March 27th. It Ls probable that a visit to a nearby apiary will be made in con­ nection with this meeting. The most highly approved practices in the keep­ ing of bees will be not only explained but demonstrated at this meeting. The recognition and control of foul brood will be rfihriy presented, the prevention of swarming, requeening, the production of maximum honey crop are topics that will be thorough­ ly treated at this meeting. Every Barry County bee keeper is invited to attend this event. Prof. J. C. Kremer will be in charge of this meeting. ' Terribly Far Away Talking from Nashville to Los An­ geles isn’t a matter of everyday. or cverynight occurrence but it happen­ ed at one o’clock Friday morning when J. C.

The question of where the tax mon­ ey paid into village and township treasuries goes is one which has been much discussed during the past months when such questions as erec­ tion of a school building or purifica­ tion of the water supply, etc., come before the public, and the News is pleased to give an itemized account both in percentage and dollars and cents, as to the requirements of each fund for which money is collected. One of the Newts' subscribers came In last week with his taxes divided by percentages. We give ’this list below. The first amount is the per­ centage of the total tax. while the second is the exact amount in dollars and cents, paid: Village: Pct.

Farmers May Get Soils Survey ofBarry County High School Music Department To Give Concert Friday Night C. of C. Will Meet At Bakery Monday Nashville Lodge, No. 255, F. A A. M., last Friday evening observed the first anniversary since the building of the new temple, with approximately one hundred and sixty Masons and their families enjoying a pot luck sup­ per in the dining room on the first floor and an appropriate program of music and speaking in the lodge room above. Opening at seven o'clock with the "feed” which was served by a group of men as kitchen help and waiters, the guests enjoyed more than half an hour of fellowship around the tables. As soon as they had finished all gath­ ered in the beautiful lodge rooms on the second floor and the entertain­ ment chairman, E. L. Appelman, in­ troduced A. B. McClure as toastmas­ ter of the evening, who in turn intro­ duced the various numbers In their order. . Included in the entertainment were musical selections by Mr. Kamiensky, son and daughter, in a piano, violin and saxaphone trio; music readings by Vivian Appelman with Mrs. Purchis at the piano; vocal selections by Miss Gladys Potter, Mrs. Chas. Betts accompanying at the piano; music reading by Mrs. Kamiensky, accom­ panied by Mrs. Betts; a black-face skit by Percy Penfold and Donald Waldron, and male quartet numbers by Messrs. McNltt, McClure Wright and Wilson. The last number on the program was an address by Mortimer Town­ send of Hastings, a man prominent In Masonic circles, who congratulated the local Masonic organization on its temples, and among other points, pro­ ceeded to show that cities, villages and temples are not the brick and mortar which compose their buildings but rather the folks who make up their membership. His talk was en­ joyed by all. One year ago Nashville lodge, No. 255. purchased the site and erected the temple which now stands as a monument to their progressiveness and furnishes a splendid home for all Masonic bodies. The affair Friday ev­ ening was a fitting observance of this first anniversary in the new edifice. Kleinhans’ store is this week- ob­ serving the forty-third anniversary of W. H. Kleinhans' entrance into the business world of Nashville. Fortythree years ago this month Mr., Kleinhans came to Nashville from Pontiac, and purchased the stock of D. C. Griffiths on March 22. Since that time the store has been actively managed by Mr. Kleinhans until last summer when illness made it impos­ sible for him to be <?n the job and his son. H. C. Kleinhans, took over active management at that time.

Efficiency engineers who have charge of only one factory have a simple job in comparison to the test­ ers in the Michgan herd improvement associations who are efficiency engin­ eers for 2,500 factories located 1M25 different places, according to Ke statement of members of the dairy department at Michigan State Col­ lege. The dairy experts say that each caw In the State Associatons can be considered to be a factory engaged in the processing of low priced raw materials into a higher priced quality product The difference between the abilities of different cows to do this manufacturing profitably can be de­ termined only by measuring both the raw materials used And the quantity of product returned for the feed. . Production cost records are being kept on 25,000 Michigan cows which belong to the members of 96 herd im­ provement associations. The animals themselves represent an investment of approximately half a million dol­ lars and this is only a fraction of the money invested In the great number of cows upon which no records are kept. A part of this money value Is froz­ en capital upon which the herd owner receives no income or suffers a loss. One third of Michigan's dairy cows are kept at a loss, and one third re­ turn no profit The cow tester’s feed cost records enable the dairyman to weed out the animals which do not show manu­ LARRY COUNTY’ FARMER FINDS facturing efficiency. WOODLOT EQUALS YIELDS OF ANY CLEARED LAND. Gets Good Returns From Farm Woodlot Accurate records on the returns from farm woodlots are hard to ob­ tain but Glen Ingram, a Barry'coun­ ty fanner, has kept accounts which show that his 10 acre woodlot has re­ turned him an average of $36.50 an acre for the past 18 years and he has been offered $2,500 for the mature timber which is now in the woodlot. The lumber obtained from this woodlot was 14,000 board feet of bass­ wood, whitewood, and red oak in 1910; 13,000 feet of elm in 1913; 7.­ 000 feet of basswood in 1918; 27,000 feet in 1926; and 2,000 feet in 1927. All fuel burned on the farm except during the past three years was cut from the woodlot, as were poles and posts used on the farm. Maple trees in this stand of timber have furnished an average of 100 gallons of syrup. Mr. Ingram rented a nearby woodlot three years ago and has cut his fuel from those woods since he rented them. The soil on which the timber stands is a good loam and is fairly rolling. Mr. Ingram says that the 10 acres has yielded as great a return as any sim­ ilar area on his farm. He states that he always has 'pas­ tured the woodlot but now sees that this practice has killed out the seed­ lings and prevented the growth of young trees to replace those which are cut, so he plans to keep all live­ stock out of the woodlot in the fu­ ture. . Mrs. Wilson Entertains Welcome Philathea* At Her Home Friday The Welcome Rhilathea class of the Methodist Sunday school met with Mr*. G. H. Wilson for their March meeting Friday evening, and enjoyed an evening of entertainment, games and refreshments. Assisting Mrs. WilBan as hostesses were Mrs. Snow, Mrs. Penfold and Mrs. Struble. As a part of the entertainment a group of the ladies presented a play­ let, "Lochinvar”, which was greatly enjoyed. Shamrock shaped biscuits, tinted green, were served with maple syrup, the colors being in keeping with St. Patrick’s day. Members of the Nashville Welcome Philathea class and their husbands comprising a group of twenty-two drove to Battle Creek Friday evening of last week, where they were enter­ tained by the Philathea classes of the First Baptist and Methodist churches. Following a splendid pot luck supper a program including short talks, mus­ ical numbers and reading was pre­ sented. Our class compares favor­ ably with other classes and we ha®e almost doubled our number in the short time the class has been organ­ ized. FUNERAL SERVICES FOR AGED RESIDENT HELD AT HASTINGS CHURCH WEDNESDAY MORN­ ING. Funeral services for Philip Maurer, one of Nashville's oldest residents, were held this (Wednesday) morning from St. Rose's church, Hastings, Rev. Fr. Jordan officiating. Mr. Maurer passed away at his home at 4:30 Saturday afternoon following a stroke of paralysis suffeted on the morning of. the same day. He was aged 81 years. Mr. Maurer was bom December 3, 1847, in Kleinbundenbach, Germany, and was the son ofsPhilip and Anns Maria Schweikofer Maurer. He was one of a family of six, two brothers and three sisters, one of the sisters, who resides in Germany, surviving. In the course of his military career Mr. Maurer served three years under the Bavarian flag in the Franco, Prussian war, and was given an hon­ orable discharge. In 1873 he came to the United States, coming to Barry county, Michigan, where he worked for his unci«v In 1875 he returned to Ger­ many and was married to Magdalena Maurer, who died August 25, 1923. Returning, he and his bride settled in Maple Grove township- where he continued to live until in 1923 when he came to Nashville and spent his declining years here. Realizing the value of American citizenship Mr. Maurer took out his first naturalization papers in 1876, or within three years after coming to this country. . He was a-member of St Cyril’s Catholic church, at Nashville. Surviving the deceased, beside the sister in Germany, are four children. They are: Mrs. Clara Coe, Battle Creek; Sister M. Liguorl, Nazareth, Mich.; Franz Maurer, and Linus Maurer, Nashville. Two children. Ernst and Itha, preceded their father in death, the former passing away in 1928, and the latter in 1922. Eight grandchildren and one great-grand­ child also survive. Mr. Maurer will be sadly missed by a host of friends as well as the rela­ tives. Of a cheerful disposition, and with a friendly word for everyone, he was a familiar figure about the streets of the village, he having been active up to the time he was stricken Saturday morning. The body was interred in Mount Calvary Catholic cemetery at Hast­ ings. ‘ ATTENTION, O. E. 8.

Section 32, Orangeville township will be the location of the demonstration on Tuesday, March 26th. Anyone de­ siring the assistance of the College Departments of Agricultural ..Engin­ eering and Poultry in the building of a demonstration brooder house on March 25th, should at once get In touch with the county agent. Plans have been supplied the lumber deal­ ers of the county for the brooder. house 10 x 12 which will be built and ] which is recommended by the college, i These plans will be available to any­ one requesting them through the county agent's office. The 10 x 12 brooder house accommodates from 400 to 500 chicks, has double floor with tar paper between floors. The house is built very cheaply yet se­ curely without studding and with ver­ tical siding. Insulate and celotex are two of the Insulating materials which j have given best results. These materlais are recommended in the building of brooder houses and will be includ- j ed in the demonstration house. A laying hquse twenty feet wide,' and in units of one or more twenty foot lengths, will be built as a dem­ onstration about the middle of Sep­ tember or a little later. The location I for this laying house has not yet been selected, and those who contemplate the construction of a laying house should apply through the county agent for a demonstration house which the college departments will help in building, and through which there will be a refund of $15.00 per 1000 feet insulating material. There is a $20.00 building fee on the dem­ onstration laying house, but there is no building fee on the brooder .house. Plans for the laying house which is being recommended by the college, are also being placed in the hands of lumber dealers. and * are available through the county extension office. IN MEMORIAM.

APPLESAUCE TWINS make painting । • “Cheap” paint isn’t cheap at all “Cheap” paint with its skimpy cov­ ering, cheap colors and short life is costly enough. Its low price and al­ luring promises are“applesauce.” But when “Cheap” Paint’s twin brother.“Cheap” Painter, does the job with his careless, unskilled brush, you have the most expensive painting job to be had. Don’t throw away good money on these “Applesauce” Twins. There is jnst one way to save money on a house painting j oh. Use the best paint and let a skilled painter do the job. Fine old SWP House Paint is made of special materials,carefully blended and mixed in the great Sherwin-Wiilianis paint laborato­ ries. Because of these AjSpj superfine ingredients Wf and masterful prepar- Sherwin-Williams ation, seven gallons of SWP cover the average house (two coats), where eleven gallons of “cheap” paint would be needed. The price you save on a gallon of “cheap” paint is eaten up in buying extra gallons. But that is only ths beginning. When a master painter applies SWP you can count on many years of beauty and protection—with no repainting expense. Buteventhemost skillful painter can’t make “cheap” paint last.

WALKER SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT RE you paying proper attention to your social environment, or A are you drifting along without giving it a passing thought? At some unanticipated moment your social standing may change your whole future for better or worse, the transformation coining like a thunder clap from a clear sky.

Regina, Saskatchewan, Feb. 4.— Mere men have not the monopoly for directing large and successful farm­ ers' cooperative marketing organiza­ tions in Western Canada, where there are several such. Indeed they have­ n’t! The Saskatchewan Egg and Poultry Producers, Ltd., with a total membership of over 19,000 and doing A gross annual turnover of approxi­ mately 1600,000, was organized by a number of farmers’ wives less than three years ago. The first president was Mrs. John Holmes, of Asquith, Saskatchewan, and she still holds the office by popular choice. Only two of the six members of the board of di­ rectors are men.

EVARTS poprrt«ht by Hal O. Bvovte She knew that the other men would back Harris and Alden in their ver­ dict. She nodded and watched them turn back toward the horses. There was nothing spectacular in the attack of Harris and the sheriff. They went about it as if hunting ver­ min, cautiously and systematically, taking every possible advantage of the enemy with the least possible risk to their men. The advance was slow as they dosed in on the stock­ ade. There was a sudden commotion among the men at the building. They were moving swiftly under cover. Some of the attacking force had been seen. The majority of the rustlers took to the stockade. Four ran into the main cabin. It was as if she gazed upon the ac­ tivities of battling ants, the whole game spread out In the field of her glasses. There came a lull In the action and she knew that the sheriff had raised his voice to summon them to come out without their guns and go back as prisoners to stand trial for every crime under the sun. Not a shot had been fired. Inside the stockade she could see Lang’s men kneeling or flattened on the ground as they gazed through cracks in the walls. She made out Harris, crouching in • draw. A thin haze of smoke spurt­ ed from his position. Three similar puffs showed along the face of the stockade. Then the sounds of the shots drifted to her—faint, snappy reports. Throughout the next half­ hour there was not a shot fired In the fiat; no general bombardment, no wild shooting, but guerilla warfare where every man held his fire for a definite human target A man shift­ ed his position In the stockade, raised to peer from a hole breast high, and ■he saw him pitch down on the ground before the sound of the shoe reached her. One of her men had noted the darkening of the crack and had searched him out with a rifle ■hot Three shots answered it from the main cabin. She presently noted one of her men sitting under a sheltering bank and eating his lunch. She looked at her watch; it was after three—the day more -than half gone and less than a hundred shots had been fired. Five men were down in the stockade. ■ Tlie shadows lengthened rapidly and her view through the glasses was beginning to blur when the gates of the stockade swung back knd five horses dashed out, running at top speed under the urge of the spurs, a wild stampede for safety, every man for himself. Sn« saw one man lurch sidewise and slip to the ground; another straightened in the saddle, swung for two jumps, and slid off backward across the rump of his mount The shooting ceased when six shots had fired. Four riderless horses were ca­ reening round the basin. The stockade was empty, leaving only four in the house to be account­ ed for. A tiny point of light attracted her eye. It grew and spread. She knew that one of her men had crawled up under cover of night and fired the house. She thought of the burning buildings on the Three Bar and rose to make her way back to the pocket where the horses had been left In the care of a deputy. All through the day she had scarce­ ly moved and she was tired. The hours of Inactivity had proved more wearing than a day in the saddle. Harris and the sheriff came In with their detail. There were no prisoners. A little later Bentley's men rode up and five minutes behind them came Carp with the rest, and al! hands turned In. At daylight the long return journey to the Three Bar was commenced. Twenty miles out from the ranch and before noon of the next day the sheriff and th% mar­ shals had split off with their men. leaving the Three Bar crew to ride the short Intervening space to the ranch alone. ’ As she neared the edge of the Crazy loop valley the girl dreaded the first glimpse of the pillaged ranch. They bad reached the edge of the valley and she looked down upon the ruins. "Now Fm ready to go," she said. “171 go and see what Judge Colton wants.” “He wanted you to get away before anything like this occurred," Harris said. "1 knew that maybe we’d have tough going for a while at some criti­ cal time and wanted you to miss all of that—to come back and find the Three Bar booming along without having been through all the grief. So I wrote him to urge you to come." "Well, I’m going now," she said. "1 don't need to be urged." Harris pointed as they rode down the sloi>e. The little cabin that old Bill Harris had first erected on the Three Bar, and which had later shel­ tered the Warrens when they came into possession of Die brand, stood solid and unharmed among the black­ ened ruins which hemmed It in on all sides. “Look, girt I” he exclaimed triumph­ antly. "Look at that little house. The Three Bur was started with that 1 We have as much as our folks started with—and more. They even had to build that We'h start where our folks did, and grow." CHAPTER XII - Harris sat on a baggage truck and regarded the heap cf luggage somber­ ly. Way off in the distance a dark blot of smoke marked the location of the onrushing train which would take the Three Bar girl away. . “Some day you’ll be wanting to come back, old partner," he predicted hopefully. The Three Bar isn't hutt We’re in better shape than ever be­ fore and a dear field out in front; for the country is cleaned up and the law is clamped on top." She honestly tried to rouse a spark of interest deep within her, some ray of enthusiasm for the rature of the Three Bar. But there was no re­ sponse. She assured herself again that the old brand whldi had meant so much to her meant less than noth­ ing now. That part of her was dead. The trail of smoke was drawing near. Harris leaned and kissed her. “Just once for luck." he said, and slipped from his seat on the truck as the train roared In. Good-by, little fellow. Hl see you next round-up time." As the train slid away from the station she looked from her window and saw him riding up the single street on the big paint-horse. The train cleared the edge of the little town and passed the cattle chute. Three wagons, each drawn by four big mules, moved toward the cluster or onnmngi which comprised the town, the freighters on their way to haul out materials for the rebuilding of the ranch. The work was going on but she no longer had a share In It She was looking ahead and planning a future in which the Three Bar played do 'part. Deane was with Judge Colton, her father's old friend, to meet her at the station. As they rode toward the Colton home she told the Judge she had come to stay and Deane was con­ tent After the strenuous days she had just passed through she needed a long period of rest, he reflected; but the older man smiled when be suggested this. "What she needs now is action." he said. “And no rest at all. Cal Warren’s girl Isn't the slt-around type." Deane acted on this and no day passed without his having planned a part of it to help fill her time. And in the late winter, after having vis­ ited school friends who lived farther east, she found herself anticipating the return to the Colton home as eagerly as always In the past the bad looked forward to seeing the Three Bar after a long period away from IL For the first time in her life she was glad to be sheltered and pam­ pered as were other girls. But there was a growing restlessness within her —* vague dissatisfaction for which she could not account She groped for an answer but th.e analysis could not be expressed or definitely cleared in her mind. Deane planned with her of evenings but the planning was all of play. No word of work crept Into it If only he would accept her as wholly into that part of his life as be did Into the rest. And suddenly nlut longed to qlt for just one evening before the fire ail’d plan real work with Cal Harris. He had been the one man she had known who had asked that she work with him—or that he should work for her. She had drifted along, expecting that that same state of affairs would go on indefinitely, believing that he filled the void left by old Cal Warren. But now she knew be held that place he had created for himself. They had worked together and she had deserted the sinking ship to play the part of the tinsel queen. She was conscious of a flare—half of resentment, half of apprehension —toward Harris for not having sent a word of 'affairs at the ranch. Judge Colton entered the room and THURSDAY, MAR. M, 1RM Interrupted her reverie by banding her a paper. In. the first black head­ line she saw Slade’s name and Har­ ris’; an announcement of the last chapter of the Three Bar war. The first line of the article stated that Slade, the cattle king, had been released. There was insufficient proof to convict on any count. She felt « curious little shiver of fear for Har­ ris with. Slade once more at large. The article retold the old tale of the fight and portrayed Blade, on his re­ lease. viewing the range which he had once controlled and finding a squatter family on every available ranch site. She had a flash of sympathy for Slade as she thought his sensations must have beetf similar to her owr. when she had looked upon the reins of the Three Bar. But this was blot­ ted out by the knowledge that be had only met the same treatment ha had handed to so many others; that he had dropped Into the trap he had built for her. She found no real sym­ pathy for Blade—only fear for Har­ ris since Slade was freed. The old sense of responsibility for her brand had been worn too long to be shed at will. She knew that now. "I suppose you’ll be surprised to hear that I’m going back," she said. Her father's old friend smiled across at her and puffed his pipe. “Surprised!" he said. “Why, I’ve known all along you’d be going back before long. I could have told you that when you^stepped off the train. He left her alone with Deane when the younger mon arrived. She plunged Into her subject at once. "Fm sorry," she said. “But 'Im going home. I'm not cut out for this —not for long at one time. I want to smell the round-up flrtf and slip my twine on a Three Bar calf; to throw my leg across a horse and ride, and Teel the wind tearing pasL It will al­ ways be like that with me. So this Is good-by." Four days later, in the early eve­ ning, the stage pulled Into Coldriver with a single passenger. The boys were Ir from a hundred miles around for one last spree before round-up time. As the stage rolled down the single street the festivities were in full swing. From one lighted door­ way came the blare of a mechanical piano accompanied by the scrape of feet; the sound of drunken voices raised in song Issued from the next; the shrill laughter of a dance-hall $irl, the purr of the Ivory ball and the soft clatter ofchips, the ponies drows­ ing at the hitch rails the full length of the street, the pealing yelp of some overenthuslastlc citizen whose night It was to howl; all these were evi­ dences of the wide difference between her present surroundings and those of the last eight months. She gazed eagerly out of the stage window. It was good to get back. As the stage neared the rambling log hotel where she would put up for the bight a compact group of riders swung down the street Her heart seemed to stop as she recognized the big paint-horse at their head. She had not ft;!ly realized how much she longed to see Cal Harris. Instead of dismounting in a group they suddenly split up, as if at a given signal, scattering the length of the block and dismounting singly. There was something purposeful in this act and a vague apprehension superseded the rush of gladness she had experienced with the first unex­ pected view of the Three Bar crew. Men who stood on the board side­ walks turned hastily Inside the open doors as they glimpsed the riders, spreading the news that the Thro* Bar had come to town. The driver pu-.ed up in Trent of the one hotel. "It'll come off right now," be said. “Slade's In town." L "Sure," the guard replied. "Why else would Harris ride in at night like this unless In answer to Slade's threat to shoot him down on sight? Get the girl Inside." The reason for the scattering was now clear to her. Slade, on his re­ lease, bad announced that be would kill Harris on sight whenever be ap­ peared in town. Slade had many friends. The Three Bar men were scattered the length of the street to enforce fair play. The guard opened the door and motioned her out but she shook her head. “I'm going to stay here," she as­ serted. Her answer informed him of the fact that she was no casual visitor but one who knew the. signs and would Insist on seeing It through. He nodded and shut the door. Harris had dismounted at the far end of the block and was strolling slowly down the board sidewalk on the opposite side. Groups of men packed the doorways, each one striv­ ing to appear unconcerned^as if his presence there was an aAldent in­ stead of being occasioned by knowl­ edge that something of interest would soon transpire. A man she knew for a Slade rider moved out to the edge of the sidewalk across the street from Harris, she saw the lumbering form of Waddles edging up beside him. Other Three Bar boys were watching every man who allowed a- disposition to detach himself from the groups in the doors. The blare of the piano and all sounds of revelry had hushed. The girl felt the clutch of stark fear at her heart. She had come too late. Barris was tx> meet Slade. It seemed that she must die with him if he should pass out before she could speak to him again and tell him she was back. She had a wild desire to run to him, at least to lean from the window and call out to him to mount Calico and ride away. But site knew he would doL She was frontier bred. Even the knowledge that she was In icwb might unsteady him now. She sat without a move and the driver and guard outside supposed her mere­ ly a curious on-looker interested in the scene. "A hundred on Harris,'' the driver offered. The guard grunted a refusal “I’d bet that way myself," he Mid. From tills she knew that the two men were hoping Harris would be the one to survive; but the Tact that their proffered bets backed their sen­ timents was no proof that they felt the conviction of their desire. She knew the men of their breed. No matter bow small the chance, their money would Inevitably be laid on the side of their wishes, never against them, as If the wagering of a long shot was proof of their confidence and tight in some way exercise a fa­ vorable influence ou the outcome. No man bad ever stood against Slade. She noted Harris' gun. He carried it with the Mme awkward sling-as of old, on the left side in front with the butt to the right “Fifty on Slade," a voice offered from the doorway of the hotel .The guard started for tlie spot but the bet was snapped up by another. Wild fighting rage swept through her at the thought that to all these men It was but a sporting event Her eyes never once left Harris as he came down the street When al­ most abreast of the stage Slade stepped from the doorway twenty feet in before him and stopped in his tracks. Harris turned on one heel and stood with bls left side quartering toward Slade, th® old pose she re­ membered so well. There was a tense quiet the length of the street “Those you hire do poor work from behind." Harris said. “Maybe you sometimes take a chance yourself and work from In front" His thumb was hooked In the opening of his shirt just above the'butt of his gum Slade held a cigarette in his right hand and raised it slowly to his. Ups. He removed It and flicked the ash from the end, then Inspected the re­ sults and snapped it again—and the downward move of his wrist was car­ ried through in a smooth sweep for his gun. It flashed Into his hand but his knees sagged under him as a forty-five slug struck him an inch above the buckle of his belL Even az he toppled forward be fired, and Harris’ gun barked again. Then the Three Bar .men were vaulting to their saddles. Evans careened down the streeL leading the paint-horse, and within thirty seconds after Slade’s first move for bls gun a dozen riders were turning the corner on the run. Before the spectators had time to realize that It was over, the Three Bar men were gone., Slade had many friends In town. The girl had seen Harris' draw merely a single pull from left to right and by bls quartering pose the gun bad been trained on Slade at the Instant It cleared the holster; not one superfluous move, even to the straightening of bls wrist The driver's voice reached her. “Fastest draw In the world for the few that can use It" be said. The guard opened the door. The girl was sitting with her head bowed in her hands. “Don't take It that way, ma'am," he counseled. “He was a hard one —Slade." But he had misread his signs. She felt no regret for Slade, only a wave of thankfulness, so powerful as al­ most to unnerve her, over Harris* es­ cap®, untouched. She accused her­ self of eallousneM bat the spring of her sympathy, usually so ready, seemed dry as dust when she would have wasted a few drops on Slade. The next day, In the late afternoon, Harris looked up and saw a chap-clad rider on the edge of the valley. She had ridden "over unannounced on a horse she had borrowed from Brill. She answered the wave of bls hat and urged the horse down the slope. He Met Her at the Mouth of the Lane. He met her at the mouth of the lane and together they walked back to the new buildings of the ranch. The men breaking horses In the new corrals were the same old hands. The Mme old Waddles presided over the new cook shack. Her old things, reecued from the fire, were arranged in the living room of the new house. A row of new storerooms and the shop stood on the site of the old. And in the midst of all the improvement* the old cabin first erected on the Three Bar stood protected by a picket fence on which a few vines w-.re already beginning to climb. After the men had quit work to greet the returning. Three Bar boM she went over every detail of the txw house. The big living room and fire­ place were modeled cloeely along the lines of her old quarters; beads and furs were on the walls, pelts and In­ dian rugs on the floors. Running water had been pljwd down from a sidehill spring; The new bouse was modernized. Then Harris saddled Calico and Papoose and they rode down to the fields. As they turned into the lane they heard the twang of Waddles' guitar from ■ the cook shack, the booming voice raised in song In midafternoon, a thing heretofore unheard of In the annals of .Three Bar life. “There'll be one real feast tonight" Harris prophesied. "Waddles will spread himself." They rode past the meadow, cov­ ered with a knee-deep stand of al­ falfa hay. “It was only trampled down," ba said. "She came up In fine shape this spring. Well put up a thou­ sand tons of hay." He held straight on past the meadow, turned off below the lower fence and angled southwest acroM the range. The calves land yearlings along their route gave proof that the gradlng-up of the Three Bar herds was already having Its effect Ninety per cent were straight red stock with only a few throwbacks to off-color strains. The two spoke but Utile and near sunset they rode out and dis­ mounted on the ridge from which, al­ most a year before, they had viewed the first move of organized law in the Coldriver strip. A white-topped wagon came toward them up the valley along the same route followed by the file of dusty riders on thjA other day. A woman held the reins over the team and a curly-halred ’-youngster jostled about on the seat by her side. A man wran­ gled a nondescript drove of horses and cows In the rear. “That's the way we both came into thia country first, you and L” Harris said. "Just like that little shaver oe the seat” _ "Will they find a place to settle?" she asked, with a sudden hope that the newcomers would find a suitable site for a home. . * Maybe not close around here." be said. “Most of the good sites you can get water on are picked up. But theyTl find a place either here or somewhere else a little further on." He sUpped an arm about her shoul­ ders. "It’s been right- lonesome planning without a little partner to talk It all over with at night," he said. “Hava you come back for keeps to help me make the Three Bar the best outfit In three states? 1 can’t hold down that job alone.” She nodded and leaned against him. “That’s what they wanted—old BUI and Cal," she said. “But It’s nice that we want It too. I’ve come for keeps; and the road to the outside Is closed." They stood and watched the sun pitch over the far edge of the world; and down In the valley below them the hopeful squatters ^rero looking for a place to camp. [THE END.] , CONSUMING PUBLIC DEMANDS BUTCHERS FURNISH LEANER PORK CHOPS. Flapper fashions have now invaded the pork market and only those cuts which are mostly lean meat sen read­ ily over the butcher counter, and thia change in the taste for pork has led to the establishment of feeding trials at Michigan State CoUege to locate types of hogs which ww supply the lean meat Most of the American breeds of hogs were developed to supply a car­ cass with a high percentage of fat and tha CoUege now intends to select strains from these breeds .and devel­ op these strains Into a type of hog which win furnish pork which con­ forms to the new styles. . Purebred bog breeders are asked by the College to sell to the College a limited number of pigs which are from stock of the type now wanted and for which certain breeding rec­ ords are available. The pigs must ba from sows which farrowed seven or eight living pigs In the Utter. The pigs which are brought by tha CoUege will be put on feed and a rec­ ord of performance win be kept of their gains in weight, and the per­ centage of lean meat in each carcaaa will be determined. These records ov­ er a period of years will show wheth­ er there are strains within the breeds which wiU furnish the kind of plga needed for the modern market Breeders who wish to have their pig’s abiUty to produce Ran pork tested should make application to the animal husbandry department of the Michigan State CoUege. AppUcatlona must be made within 10 days of tha time when the pigs are farrowed.

Need Lots Of Time To Fit Show Steer MONTHS OF FEEDING PRECEDE APPEARANCE OF ANIMAL IN FAT STOCK CLASSES. When you are dining it is annoying to be called to the telephone. Nevertheless, calls will continue to be made while you are at table and of course you will wish to answer them promptly. A new convenience is being offered—the portable telephone—which may be plugged into special wall out­ lets and taken away when not in use. . Exhibitors of steers in the fat steer classes at the Michigan State Fair next fan are already fitting their an­ imals for their appearance in the ‘ show ring, according to statements I by members of the animal husbandry department at Michigan State Col­ lege. Showmen who win top premiums in the fat stock shows must be able to visualize what an animal will look like in future months ,and they must be able tu carry through a feeding program which will model in living flesh the show points which catch the judge’s eye. All animals entered in the steer show are entered subject to sale in the auction ring. Last year’s winner was auctioned off by Governor Fred W. Green for 86 cents per pound. The governor will call for bids on the 1929 champion. Animal husbandry men at State College say that Michigan exhibitors of fat steers are showing better fitted animals each successive year. Fat stock shows now feature the baby beef type of cattle as the show ring reflects the type of animal demanded by the consumers of beef. Five hundred dollars of prize mon­ ey ,a silver trophy for the champion, and a very attractive auction sale price are the awards which will be Sven to the winners this year in the t steer show.

RUIA AND GUY TRAVIS, Props. HENRY FLANNERY, Auct HARLEY ANDREWS, Clerk LEGISLATIVE LETTER By LEN W. FEIGHNER Field Manager Michigan Press Association March 15,’ 1929.—Early spells of spring weather are bringing various sorts of reaction from members of the legislature and a spirit ot ' hurry up" is iq the air. Farmer members are thinking about tbe urgency of spring plowing, business men in oth­ er lines are visioning .the rush of spring business and the golfers are anxiously watching the capitol lawn for indications of green tinges in the grass. All these things have their ef­ fect in- speeding up business and bills are being rushed through the mill in a more business-like manner than earlier in the session, while every new bill introduced brings a gasp of dis­ may from those who have other busi­ ness -aside from their legislative du­ ties. Matters of finance are not yet set­ tled, but taxation committees are holding almost continuous sessions and indications are that some definite conclusion may be arrived at the coming week, although various new methods of raising money are still be­ ing introduced at nearly every ses­ sion, some of them more or less prac­ tical It seems evident that the pro­ posed mill tax to care for hospitali­ zation needs has many friends and this method has at present an appar­ ently better show of getting through the- mill than any other that has yet gone into the hopper. Another week will probably see some definite devel­ opment. Then appropriation bills will start slipping through and the “heavy work” of the session will be under way in real earnest. A real sensation was sprung early in the week when a number of the pronounced dry leaders in the legisla­ ture sent a signed letter to Bishop Thomas’Nicholson, president of the Michigan anti-saloon league, bitterly condemning the work , of R. N. Holsaple, anti-saloon league lobbyist here, with the statement that his presence in the state house was doing the prohibition movement more harm than good. Bishop Nicholson replies that Holsaple's work is satisfactory to the or­ ganization and that he will not be re­ called. The Senate Monday night, by a vote of 22 to 9. referred the Cuth­ bertson bill, which had previously passed the House, to the committee on state affairs, refusing to allow LL Gov. Dickinson to refer it to the com­ mittee on prohibition, which would have reported the bill out at once, in all likelihood. The Cuthbertson bill makes fourth violations of the liquor law punishable by a mandatory life sentence. The House Monday night approved the McEachron bill permitting the state to take full advantage of the inheritance tax measure, which would allow the state 80 per cent of large inheritance taxes. It is estimated that this will give the state several millions of inheritance tax money which now goes to the federal govern­ ment. This would go into the primary school fund. The bill was given im­ mediate effect. A bill to tax malt and malt extract sold in the state was introduced by Rep. Chas. Culver.' The bill levies two cents per pound in small quanti­ ties and a graduated lesser amount on quantity sales. This money to go to the poorer school districts of the state. Speaker Ming, said to be the pap of the bill, says this tax would fall on those who should pay and who would be w..ling to pay. By the way, what Is all this malt stuff used for, anyway? Any of you know? Pos­ sibly it isn't such a bad measure. But some of the ultra drys oppose the measure on the ground that it is a state recognition and encouragement of liquor law violation. The bill providing for establishment of 500 additional miles of state trunk line highway was approved by Gov­ ernor Green this week. The re-enact­ ed teachers’ retirement fund bill was also signed and a bill permitting spec­ ial teachers’ certificates to be granted as to specific schools. The House committee on state af­ fairs has put into the pigeon hole the measure proposed by Rep. Culver to do away with the state administra­ tive board, established during the re­ gime of Gov. Groesbeck. The Brady bill to license chain stores tis been referred to the judi­ ciary committee, for determination as to its constitutionality, about which there is some question. ' A little scrap between the governor and lieutenant governor made its ap­ pearance early in the week. Mr. Dick­ inson inferred that the governor had interfered on the Cuthbertson bill and endeavored to secure a full at­ tendance of members of the senate in an effort to kill the measure. The governor indignantly denied the alle­ gations of the lieutenant governor, and the latter retreated partially from his position and peace has evi­ dently been restored In the official family. The Warner bill relieving the owner of an automobile from liability for injuries to “guest passengers’’ has been passed by the senate and be­ comes a law with the governor's sig­ nature. Tile Barnard House measure increasing the penalty for breaking and entering was also passed by the senate, as was the bill providing for the deportation of aliens for “moral turpitude." Senator Campbell proposes an amendment to the motor vehicle act increasing the penalties for drunk driving. It would make a penalty of $1,000 fine for second offense and a prison term of six months to one year. Senator Lennon’s proposition to ap­ propriate $25,000 a year for two years to provide a state airport at Lansing meets with strenuous objec­ tion from other cities in the state. They say the city of Lansing ought to stand the shot for fixing up the airport as long as the state has pro­ vided the land for the purpose. The proposed “basic science" bill which has been the base of a lot of controversy between the medics, the osteopaths and chiropractors, has fin­ ally been fixed up to suit all parties and has been reported out in the Senata. Rep. Fred Holbeck’s bill which would permit state aid for the - fan- provement of riven and streams for draining purposes only has passed the House. It proposes an amendment to the constitution, to be rated on at a general election in 1930. Rep. V. J. Brown of Mason has in­ troduced a bill giving authority to cities and towns to tax bill boards at 5 cents per square foot, the proceeds to be split 50-50 with the state. The House has passed several meas­ ures regulating oil and gas pipe lines, giving supervision of oil and gas pro­ duction. etc., made necessary by the oil and gas development tn the state. Also the Thomas bill permitting boards of supervisors to fix salaries of county officers and requiring that all fees be returned to the county. The Handy bill permitting bible reading in schools has been reported out by the education committee of the House and has now been referred to the judiciary committee. The Snow bill, providing for a coun­ ty school board and their appointment of a county superintendent has been shelved by the House committee on education, which voted to “postpone consideration of the measure” if you know what that means. A bill by Rep. McBride proposes an Income tax with a sliding scale rang­ ing from 2 per cent on incomes less than $10,000 to 4 per cent on those in excess of $50,000, while Rep Snow has one proposing a straight tax of 2 per cent on all Incomes, with exemptions to the extent of all property taxes paid. “Tax, tax, tax.’’ is, in fact, an all­ absorbing question, and all sorts of propositions are coming up dally, while there is still a determined bunch which insists: that rigid economy is needed much more than new methods of raising money. One thing is cer­ tain. however, and that is that all rec­ ognize the fact that reconstruction work at state Institutions is a press­ ing need and must be taken care of in some way. The commercial fisheries bill has passed the House after an attempt to add -an amendment for the benefit of the Bayport district was defeated. The bill has the approval of the con­ servation department, most of the commercial interests and the federal government authorities. Senator Chester M. Howell took a slap at John Lovett Thursday in the Senate, claiming that the latter, who represents the Michigan Manufactur­ ers’ association, was an “obnoxious lobbyist.” Lovett had opposed a bill introduced by Mr. Howell providing that drivers’ licenses should be re­ newed each three years and Howell suggested that Lovett “mind his own business.” No bloodshed is expected. Rep. Frank Darin has introduced a bill making appropriations of $2,077.­ 460 for building program and pur­ chase of lands for the University of Michigan. A similar bill has also been Introduced in the senate. The Senate committee on state af­ fairs Thursday reported out the Cuth­ bertson bill and it Las been made a special order for next Thursday. Watch for the fireworks. It is likely that some sort of a capital punishment bill will be re­ ported out by the Senate committee the coming week. The committee has a number of bills under consideration. The House, which has heretofore been the prime mover on capital punish­ ment measures, is this session await­ ing the action of the Senate, which has hitherto persistently smothered these measures from the House. Another measure providing for ap­ pointment of circuit judges for life was proposed Thursday by Rep. Cal­ lahan of Detroit The House Thursday passed a bill authorizing boards of supervisors to take over fair grounds owned by counties and provide for the county conducting fairs if desired. Detroit people are asking for an appropriation of $2,050,000 for the construction of five armories tn De­ troit A bill making the appropria­ tion has been introduced. Rep. Gillett has introduced a joint resolution providing that no one coun­ ty in the state should have more than 20 per cent of the total representation in the House. The resolution provides for increasing the total membership of the House to 120 instead of 100 as at present and that every county of 3000 population or over should have at least one representative. Wayne county members can hardly be ex­ pected to favor the proposition. The Espie anti-fireworks bill has passed the Senate and has been giv­ en immediate effect, so if it receives the governor’s signature it will bar firework# the coming Fourth, except under proper supervision. A sweeping revision of weight tax schedules on trucks is made in a bill Introduced by Rep. J. Herbert Read and would exact much heavier taxes on trucks which operate outside of cities. Beet Growers Urged T o Use Fertilizers Michigan sugar beet growers are in a favorable position to use commer­ cial fertilizer on their crop and to se­ cure the increased profits which re­ sult from the use of such plant foods, according to a statement by members of the soils department at Michigan State College. The department advises the use of greater amounts of fertilizer than have commonly been applied to beets by Michigan farmers. Beets respond very readily to increased amounts of plant food .and, as the price of the beets is determined in advance, in­ creases in tonnage result in a lessen­ ed cost per ton of beets, and a con­ sequent increase iq profit . The use of 4-16-4 or 4-16-8 fertiliz­ er for beets on sand. silt, or clay loams is advised by the College sods men. From 200 to 400 pounds of the fertilizer can be broadcast on the soil after it has been plowed and an ad­ ditional 100 to 200 pounds can be ap­ plied in the rows when the beets are sown. On soils which have produced a croprof clover or alfalfa immediately preceding the beets. 4-16-4, 2-12-6, or 0-20-0 fertlzllers can be used. Re­ sidual effects of any fertilizers ap­ plied on beet soils and not used by the crop will be apparent in the crops which follow the beets. BIENNIAL SPRING ELECTION and Annual Townsliip Ejection.

OF M. HOSPITAL DECEASED HAD BEEN ACTIVE IN POLITICS - OF TOWNSHIP AND COUNTY’, AND PROMI­ NENT FARMER. Victor B. Furniss, son of Charles and Elvira Stephenson Furniss, was born in Assyria township, April 1. 1870. Five years later -the family moved to Nashville, where he has since resided. At an early age he left school to begin a very liberal education In the school of experience, his first busi­ ness venture being in the meat busi­ ness. w’here he was associated with the late B. B. Downing. Before he was nineteen years of age, he went to the Alaskan gold field In company with Thos. Purkey. but returned very soon to California, where he spent some time seeing the West. Home ties were strong and he was back in Nashville within a year. He spent some time in Battle Creek and then for several years was the representa­ tive of the International Harvester Co., in Nashville, meanwhile acquir­ ing a farm. In 1897 he was elected assessor of the viUage of Nashville, and the fol­ lowing year was made supervisor of Castleton township, holding both of­ fices for six consecutive years, or un­ til he was elected to the office of sheriff of Barry county. He gave four years of faithful service-, and the word most often used to characterize his work ir. the office was “square.’’ In the discharge of his duties he made some enemies but did not swerve from the path of duty and right as he saw the right. Upon returning from Hastings. Mr. Furniss bought their present fin? home and has engaged in sheep-rais­ ing end looking after his farms. For several years he has b».*en in falling health, his failing eyesight proving a serious handicap, but the indomitable spirit "carried on” and he carried on an extensive business and remained cheerful up to the day he was strick­ en about four weeks _ago. He was taken to U. of M. hospital, where ev­ ery means was employed to effect a recovery, and where he passed away March 23, 1929. aged 58 years, 11 months and 23 days. Mr. Furniss was married May 18. 1898. to Miss Elsie Mayo of Nash­ ville. who has beep a true helpmate in every business venture, in the con­ duct of his political career, and has made as easy as possible the days of his affliction.

D. Miller, proprie­ tor of the hotel, told the editor to tell "the person who took the gallon of mincemeat and milk from the hotel cupboard last Thursday night to leave their name and address at the News office, and the hotel manage­ ment will send them a sack of pastry flour also." To make mince pies, so they say, it is necessary to have a crust, for which flour is highly de­ sirable, and the mincemeat shouldn't be wasted. Therefore, if the person who committed the theft wants mince pies, he should certainly claim the flour.

NASHVILLE WILL SET GLOCKS AHEAD ONE HOUR MONDAY DAY LIGHT SAVING TIME SCHED­ ULE WILL GIVE FOLKS LONG­ ER EVENINGS; MORE SUN­ SHINE. . Nashville clocks will be turned ahead one hour on Monday morning, April first, if the viUage concurs in action of the Chamber of Commerce on Monday evening when that body voted to change to “daylight saving” time with th^ first of the coming month. Longer days and shorter night make the new time highly de­ sirable, and it is thought there will be no opposition to putting the fast time in effect. The village council Is expected to take action on the proposed change in time, making the new time uni­ versally used throughout this vicinity. Most towns in this section are follow­ ing this plan of daylight saving, so that those who do not change over will be hopelessly one hour behind all the time.

Is heard— in—these Much-----------—_ man's close kinship with the animal world, and yet one fact of daily ex­ perience denies such doctrine and de­ clares the reality of the human spir­ it. It is the human privilege and duty to see not only with eyes but with the higher sight which ls*called vision. ' Men are marked from one another and their power and usefulness deter­ mined most of all by the clarity of this vision. Teachprs, leaders, pro­ phets ahd seers are those who sec clearly and know the thing which is true and can judge the thing which is false. These men we call great, re­ cognizing that our human hope and the future promise that suHtains us are vested In the 'realm of the spirit, where men are free from appearances that deceive and necessities that dis­ tract. The world of sense and ex­ perience is full of delusion and con­ fusion. and no man can find order or purpose In it unless he knows the au­ thority of truth; unless he sees not only with eyes that look outward but with vision within. The thing which is today’s dream is tomorrow's hope and the fact now proved was once a fancy imagined. For our salvation as individuals, as a nation and as a race, the realm of free thought and inspiration must remain real and present to us, so that in its light our old men may dream dreams and our young men see visions. AN EASTER THOUGHT. Long, long before the continent we call America was discovered, a migh­ ty river was pouring its waters thru our western country. Aboriginal man gazed upon it in awe, and wild animals crept to its banks to quench their thirst. The same river is sweeping thru those regions today, as it will be doing in the ages to come. On its broad bosom vessels of all . descriptions transport cargoes of things useful and necessary to the ex­ istence of man and beast. Its waters irrigate vast regions devoted to the production of foodstuffs, of fabrics for clothing, and of materials needed in BUY FROM NASHVILLE STORES.

FEIGHNER Field Manager Michigan Press Association There are encouraging features this week. Ln that more bills arc going through the legislative mill than are being introduced and that legislators are working with a more grim deter­ mination to get things done than hitherto, which aflgurs well for the immediate future. Nothing very definite has as yet been done toward getting taxation and financial matters threshed out, but the committees are gradually eliminating plans which are more or less visionary. Sentiment is apparent­ ly crystallizing in both branches to­ ward settling the vexed matter either by straight taxation or by the mak­ ing' of a mill tax for the hospital pro­ gram, and there is little doubt that either method, if decided upon by the taxation committees and brought be­ fore the legislators would find its way to the governor’s desk with the ut­ most dispatch. The amendment and passage of the Cuthbertson bill by the Senate Thurs­ day was marked by bitter attack on the anti-saloon league by Senator Herbert J. Rushton, who asserted voc­ iferously that the anti-saloon league is in the same class with the bootleg­ gers, for both are profiting by prohi­ bition. He claimed that while the rank and file of the members of the anti-saloon league are not fanatics. its leaders are and that they are a menace to good legislation. That they have tried to .Intimidate the courts by threats of placing members on guard in the court rooms to pass on the rulings of judges. That they haveheld up end Impeded legislation dur­ ing the present and past sessions and that it is time their methods were frowned upon. The Senate by unani­ mous vote passed the Cuthbertson bill as amended, which takes liquor violations out of the mandatory life sentence class, but does put even more teeth in other ways into liquor laws. Whether the House will con­ cur in the Senate amendments to the bill is an open question, as the bill when it left the House still carried the mandatory life sentence for boot­ leggers, moonshiners and rum ---runners. Lobbyists are working hard among the members for the Harnly bill leg­ alizing the reading of the Bible in the public schools, which has been a mat­ ter of much controversy and of public hearings. Much interest is taken among the farming communities of the* state in the McNitt potato grading bill, which passed the House Thursday and has gone to the Senate. The bill is sup­ ported by the farm bureau and other farm organizations and provides for a caieful grading and labeling of Michigan potatoes. Printers will have to watch their step pretty carefully if a bill intro­ duced by Rep! Fred Wade of Sauga­ tuck goes through. This is a bill pro­ viding for uniform text books and contains a provision for printing the books at tbe state prison. We under­ stand there are no printers in that institution, bo it the bUl passes it will effect during the current term for which a judge is elected. Rep; Feighner’s bill permitting county agricultural societies to start condemnation proceedings for acquir­ ing additional land for fair purposes was snowed under by a vote of 35 to 26 in the House Monday evening. Automobile drivers’ licenses must be renewed each three years under the provisions of the Howell bill which passed the Senate and newThe comes to the House for action. TLc licenses would be issued by the de­ partment of public safety, where mental and physical tests will be made. The Darin proposition for appoint­ ment of a judicial council to study rules and practice of judicial proceedure has passed the House. The council would make annual reports on methods of improvement. The coun­ cil would be comprised of one su­ preme court justice, one circuit judge, one probate judge, a member of the faculty of the University law school, the attorney general or one of his as­ sistants, and three members of the state bar association.

Emptying of septic tank overflow­ age into the Thornapple river within the village limits will be' stopped if action of the village council at a spe­ cial meeting last Thursday evening meets with the results expected. The clerk was requested to ask the vil­ lage health officer to order the flow­ age of septic tank contents into the river stopped at once. Reports that septic tanks were being emptied into the river above the pumps which lift the village water supply from the riv­ er brought considerable criticism from the new council at their first meeting last month and the order Thursday evening was the first action toward stopping the’practice. Tests of the water made by the state health department show the presence of sewage disposal in the town’s wat­ er supply, with the septic tanks being a possible source of contamination. Council also ordered signs placed at any outlet within the village where strangers or others might be tempted to drink, warning them that the wat­ er is unfit for drinking purposes. In additiofi to the water question, council voted to change from central to eastern standard time on the first of April and continue on the fast time until the third Saturday in October when it is expected' the village will again revert to "slow” time.

EASTER CANTATA GIVEN BY METHODIST CHOIR ^^.D “RESURRECTION" PICTURED IN MUSICAL SETTING ENJOYED AT VESPER SERVICE. Rendition of the cantata, "Resur­ rection.” by Porter, by the Methodist choir under the direction of Mrs. G. C. Edmonds, featured the Sunday ob­ servance of the Easter season in Nashville. The choir, numbering about twenty voices, appeared in a. vesper service at four o'clock and gave, in music, the story of the cruci­ fixion and resurrection of Christ. Because of the rain, which started in the forenoon and fell steadily throughout the day. attendance at the vesper, as well as other church ser­ vices in the village, was greatly cur­ tailed. Appropriate services were scheduled in each of the five churches, starting with the sunrise service Ln the Methodist church held at 6 o’clock. Seymour B. Preston Passed Away Saturday Seymour B.

BOYS IMPROVE VALUE OF IDLE HOME LANDS Michigan boys have reve-sed the old advice to go west and grow up with the aountry and are improving idle home land by planting trees whose beauty and value will Increase as their own age increases, according to a statement by members of the forestry department at Michigan State College. Three forestry ranger stations es­ tablished in Washtenaw county last week are the forerunners of many such stations whose members will be the boys and girls of several Michigan counties. Organization plans for these stations have been completed in Kent. Van Buren. Antrim, and Cheboygan counties. Members of the stations agree to plant 1,000 trees on an idle acre of ground which is not adapted to the production of other farm crops. Ever­ greens, spruce or pine, are the trees usually planted because they grow better than hardwoods on unfertile soils, are easier to plant, and produce more board feet of lumber per acre. . Mixed plantings of pine and spruce are popular, as a part of the spruce can be harvested in 10 years for Christmas trees. The removal of the spruce thins the stand of trees and gives a comparatively quick money return on the forestry project. Spruce which is allowed to stand may be cut for pulp wood in 30 years. FoUr years of training in forestry practices are open to the members of the ranger stations. Specialists from the forestry department of Michigan State College will assist in training the station members. . EVANGELICAL JUNIORS ENJOY EGG ROLLING. The annual Easier Egg rolling con­ test of the Evangelical Junior Sunday school was held Saturday. At 2.30 the children were escorted to Putnam Park, where the egg rolling and Gol-, den egg hunt took place. Jean Smith and Junior Purchls were the prize winners. At four o'clock a banquet was held at the church after which a fine pro­ gram was given. About eighty were present and all enjoyed the affair. All colors, and sizes of eggs. Including duck and goose eggs were used. Local Student Wins Scholastic Honors At M. S. C. Donald E.

Undocked lambs and ram lambs are most discriminated against in the terminal markets. Wether lambs are worth from 50 cents to three dollars a hundredweight more than ram lambs, and undocked animals suffer a price cut of from 15 cents to one dol­ lar a hundredweight. If the poor quality lambs are fat, the price differential is less than when the lambs are thin and have to be sold as feeders. Sheep owners in 20 Michigan coun­ ties, most of which are in the north­ eastern portion of the state, have en­ tered the quality improvement con­ test. The winning county will be de­ termined by finding the percentage of sheep owners who have adopted bet­ ter practices and also what portion of all the owners use these practices.

My back ached and every duly was drudgery. No food agreed with me. I tried simply everything re­ commended, but nothing touched the spot until I put Konjola to the test. At once I started to get better, and day by day my digestion improved. In six weeks I was perfectly well again, feeling better than in years. I am sleeping like a child and eating anything I like.

There is a cleaned house with the republicans at monument there in memory of the dead, and another on the campus at the military academy at West Point, erected in 1845, and another in Dade's Memorial park. The battle ground has been restor­ ed to the appearance believed to have existed at the time of the massacre. In 1842 all the Indians but about one hundred had been removed to Ar­ kansas. Again in 1853 the conflict with the Seminoles was renewed, a war which the few Indians remaining in Florida declare they have not lost, for they never have signed a peace treaty, and technically they are still at war with the United States. At this time tourists know little or nothing about it, unless they happen to inquire for whom and why Dade county was named. Then the infor­ mation usually ends there (Florida history). We drove out in the country some ten miles from Bushnell to a truck farm. There we saw some of the most fertile land one would ever want to farm.

One hundred sixty-two mothers and daughters assembled at the Com­ munity house Friday evening for their eighth annual banquet. The tables were very daintily decorated with spring colors from the green and yel­ low streamers, candles, bouquets of marguerites and calendulas to the unique place cards. The cards were tinted, the mother's containing an orange and black butterfly just alight­ ed to hover over the mother. The daughter's card was decorated with a spring blossom. . There were several three-genera­ tion groups present, but Mrs. Homer Downing headed a four generation group. Mrs. Anna Gribbin, Mrs. Sena French and little Ann French. The banquet was cooked and served by the Philathea S. S. class, which re­ flected great credit to them. The fifth and sixth grade girls de­ serve much credit for selling tickets. Dorothy Wright. Dorothy Hicks, Em­ ma Jane Kleinhans in the lead. Mrs. Maude Wotring. toastmaster of the evening, Introduced the home talent by many clever remarks. Each, number was very nicely rendered and left just the atmosphere necessary for Mrs. Wheeler's address. Mrs. Georgiana Wheeler of Grand Rapids took for her Subject, "Hope Chests." She said it had been said the three greatest experiences in life were birth, marriage and death. Each stage was the entering a new home and in each was hope so each stage needed a hope chest. The first stage was of little interest to any of us. We had nothing to do with the filling of the chest, nor did we care how long the contents lasted. In her own case she never had a hope chest prepared for her. Her's was prepared for her brother George, but as George didn't come, Georgiana took it. She was thankful she lived in a Christian lard and had a Christian home. Many prepare for the second stage, marriage, at a very early age. One little 3-year-old tot remarked she was going to get married so she'd have grandchildren. Hope chests are filled with little things, linen, silver, not carpets or furniture. They are filled with dreams. The second hope chest comes to the second home with a young man. who has gleaned the highest ideals from his home and ji young woman, who has gleaned the highest Ideals from her home, blend­ ing these ideals, overflowed with love making the best thing on earth—a real Christian home. This home can not be a selfish one. Strangers are .entertained here, which broaden and enrich the lives in that home. A short press notice of our birth, a little longer one of our marriage, but if our last hope chest has been well filled with love, kindliness, hospitali­ ty, the death notice will be the long­ est of all. We need to study our Guide Book the Bible, talk to the head Man. our Creator, forgetting things behind—the beautiful life here, and press forward to the beyond where the gates swing outward for all na­ tions who go with well filled hope chests. Miss Thressa Dause, who spent her vacation here at the home of ner par­ ents, Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Dause, re­ turned to her school work at Boyne City Saturday. Miss Dause has’ been asked to return to Boyne City anoth­ er year with a nice increase in salary.

ADVISE BEAUTY AIDS FOR KITCHEN TABLES ORDINARY LINOLEUM RESTOR­ ES WORN TABLES TO ORIGIN­ AL USEFULNESS. Kitchen table tops which have be­ come unserviceable through wear can be restored to their former usefulness and acquire an attractiveness which they did not originally have if a piece of linoleum is glued upon the worn surface of the table, according to a statement by home economic special­ ists at Michigan State College. The linoleum makes a very good working surface for the table, the specialists say: and often.a remnant of linoleum which has an inconspicu­ ous pattern such as jaspe or granite should be chosen for this purpose. The linoleum should be cut with the edges of the table and either linol­ eum cement, glue, or water glass used to cement the material to the table top. If water glass is used, it should be applied without thinnings, and it will set within half an hour. After the linoleum is atQiched to the table, melted parafin should be ap­ plied with a cloth or brush and then smoothed with a warm iron until the parafin is perfectly even and fills all the pores in the linoleum. The restoration is Completed by varnishing the entire surface with a jood spar varnish. Hot dishes do not affect this surface, and it should last five years without any need for reuamishing. . —Top coats. $22.50. Dahlhouser's. —Suits pressed, 50c.

Fassett of Nashville was among the fencers at Michigan State to win his Freshman numerals for his excellent performances during the past winter season. Fencing, probably one of the least known of college sports, is popular at State, due in no small way to the en­ thusiasm of Coach Joseph Waffa, who is a product of Egyptian and Euro­ pean schools of swordsmanship. Waffa was born in Egypt but is n-ow a citizen of the United States, and is. rated as one of the best fencers in the Middle West. Michigan State meets such schools as Ohio State, Wisconsin. Michigan, and Ohio Wesleyan, and always won a fair share of its bouts. FUMES IN BASEMENT IGNITED BY SPARKS FROM MOTOR ,ON AUTOMATIC AIR COMPRESSOR. THORNAPPLE LAKE RESIDENTS WANT ROAD IMPROVEMENT PETITION FOR .COVERT HIGH­ WAY SENT TO COUNTY OFFI­ CIALS FOR APPROVAL LAST WEEK. Hopes of residents and property owners along the Mcrgan-Thornapple Lake road that the highway would be improved and made a county covert road were given a setback this week when the petition containing names of signers who want the road improved was returned by the county register of deeds with the statement that it lacked sufficient "acreage” in the property represented by the signers. The petition was sent to the register of deeds for o. k. last week, and with the necessary number of signers would have gone to the county high­ way commnssion for approval. The road in question extends from Witte's Corners, two miles west of Price's corners, past Thornapple lake to the junction with M-79 west of the lake. That the road in question is badly in need of improvement is the con­ tention qf those who wish its improve­ ment. Most of the highway is in Cas-; tieton township but the west end ex- j tends over into Hastings township■ and the whole length of more than three miles has been neglected until it is said to be in bad condition. Con-1 siderable travel is routed over this. highway during all seasons of the, year. It connects with the Vermont­ ville road a mile north of Nashville | and is a short cut to the lake from the east. Further efforts on the part of. those actively interested in the project are expected to result in enough acreage signed up so that the improvement may be made with the shortest possi­ ble delay. FARMERS CAN OBTAIN TREES FROM COLLEGE NURSERIES AT EAST LANSING AND DUNBAR STILL HAVE EV­ ERGREEN SEEDLINGS. Sparks from the brushes on the motor of an automitic air compressor at the Independent Oil Co. filling sta­ tion on last Thursday afternoon ig­ nited fumes from gasoline and oil causing an explosion in the basement which virtually wrecked tyie building. Force of the explosion blew a portion of the building in which was located the stairway to the basement, into bits, scattering the debris over the oil pits to the side of the station, blew out cement blocks from the basement wall and three of the upper walls were bulged as much as two inches from their original position. Scarce­ ly a solid block is left in any of the walls. In addition to the force of the ex­ plosion fire, which was confined to the basement, spread to oil tanks and tires, and a second explosion occurred about ten minutes after the first. The second concussion was accompanied by a rush of fla&es from every base­ ment opening and every crack in the building, sendinj^pectators scurry­ ing away from the scene to zones of greater safety. Firemen and others who were engaged in trying to pene­ trate the dense smoke and save the contents of the room above were caught in the second rush of flames and eyebrows and hair were badly ~ singed. The explosion, which occurred at 5.­ 30 Thursday evening, shook the sur­ rounding buildings for a radius of sev­ eral hundred feet and was heard for several blocks around. Sitting in the station were Gordon C. Edmonds, manager of the Independent Oil Co., and H. M. Perkins, who had dropped in for a chat. Both declare that the entire building was raised several inches and that only the fact that the basement door and stairway was open saved them from being sent hurtling through the roof by the terrific force from below. At it was both were considerably shaken up by the con­ cussion but escaped unhurt. Mr. Ed­ monds had re-entered the building to secure records of the company when the second explosion came and emerg­ ed with the hair on his face and hands singed. Firemen turned their hose into the basement and pumped a steady stream until the lower compartment was half filled with water. This put the fire out all right, and next morn­ ing they were on the job pumping the water out of the basement so an entrance could be made and extent of the loss ascertained. Not one of the several cans of oil and other material was demolished and early conjectures as to the cause of the fire and ex­ plosions had to be revised. Upon the visit of a representative of the state fire marshal's department on Satur­ day, that official stated it as his be­ lief that the basement room was suf­ ficiently filled with fumes from the various containers that when the mo­ tor on the air compressor "kicked” Ln sparks from its brushes set off the highly charged air, causing the first explosion which so rocked and wreck­ ed the building. The second explosion probably came when the contents of one of the cans became ignited. Besides the loss incurred in the building, there is an estimated loss of about $600 in stock which included oil. tire*, etc. It is the belief of com­ pany officials that the building, or at least its walls, will have to be re­ built from the ground up. Insurance was carried on the entire plant and it is expected that as soon as an ad­ justment is made the work of re­ building will commence. ' Almost a half million evergreen seedlings which will be sold at cost for forest and windbreak plantings in Michigan still remain in the Michigan State College nurseries at East Lan­ sing although more than a million seedlings have already been sold, and there are still 100,000 seedlings at the Dunbar Station in the Upper Penin­ sula. Shipments of seedlings from the College nurseries already have ex­ ceeded last year's total bj’ 200,000. The forestry department at the Col­ lege recommends that the seedlings be set at the rate of 1200 to the acre. This gives a spacing of about six Parent-Teachers feet between the seedlings.

All this talk about the ’‘brotherhood of man" causes one to wonder if the foundations for such an idealistic re­ lationship have yet been laid. It is a fact that the civilised world has long been laboring on those founda­ tions, but do they now stand com­ pleted? From the evidence in the case the verdict must be that they are not A “brotherhood of man" must be w-jl S preceded by a universal faith in man. Ab long as individuals, nations and races can not—or at least do nottrunt one another, there can be no world brotherhood. Mutual distrust seems as Instinc­ tive In man as in the jungle beasts. The World war was a war of distrust' and internatibnal fear. Nations maintain large armies and navies be­ cause they distrust their neighbors and men pass laws because they lack faith in the honesty or judgment of each other. \ Perhaps there is greater faith in man today than at any other time in recorded history; There is much to sustain such a conclusion. But man still lacks that universal understandIng and faith whiph is essential to a "brotherhood of man." THE NEWSPAPER GUIDE. The newspaper that carries a good line of advertisements is to the shop­ per what the time table is to the traveler and the published guide is to the tourist. Busy people study these advertisements in the home or in the office, and before they start shopping they know where they are going. The newcomer or the visitor to the city finds the advertising columns of the News a reliable guide to follow. In fact, business places are points of interest to all tourists, and 'the non­ advertiser puts himself outside the pale so far as strangers are concern­ ed. KISSING. Opinions on kissing differ. First the health experts warned us all against it as promulgator of colds and more serious illnesses. Now science tells us that kissing is an exercise that makes for health by speeding up sluggish hearts and in­ creasing the circulation of the blood,' and recently a group of chorus girls took part in a scientific kissing test which showed that the stimulus of kissing created real good response from a health standpoint. We are waiting for the doctors to begin prescribing kisses, and for men and women to walk about with special doctor's certificates entitling them to spoon in public for the sake of health. Men who haven’t done so for years will begin kissing their wives with great ardor—what difference that will make in matrimony and the entire field of domestic relations! And then perhaps kissing will be made compulsory in the interests of science and health. What we are afraid of Is that once this happens people will begin to lose interest in the time-honored game of osculation.

Time and again they have beer, under a finan­ cial strain due to their own kindness and mercy. Often a magistrate is moved to such pity by the plight of a man or woman before him that he digs into his own pocket to assist the needy Derson. Now a little group of men in New York, who themselves started life in the humblest fashion, have decided to bear the burden of the magistrate’s' benevolence. They have thus far raised over $7,000. for distribution by the Magistrates in worthy causes, and expect to raise much more. The fund is already in practical operation, and magistrates who have it at their dis­ posal no longer need to dig into their own pockets to help the needy that come before them. . That is as It should be, and it is our earnest hope that some such system be adopted throughout the country. One of the most encouraging signs of progress is the growing kindness that, marks court procedures. Recent­ ly a man who stole a loaf of bread was allowed to retain the loaf and given some money by a magistrate after he had told his story of poverty and hunger. In less recent times jail sentence would have been his lot—in some periods of history he would have undergone dreadful torture, with no allowance made for his circumstances.' “TROPICAL NIGHTS” Also Comedy Sufferer Had Abandoned Hope But New Medicine Made Life Worth Wlille Again.

HESS & SON Out of School | I seldom-read poetry unless it is good, so that’s why I have been read­ ing Charley Raymond's musings as they have appeared in the News. Speaking of poetry’, reminds me that I heard Edwin Markham the other evening. You probably know that Edwin's father ran a hotel in White Pigeon, Mich., in pioneer days, but emigrated to Oregon soon after Fre­ mont made his report to Congress on the possibilities of settling the North­ west So it was in this new Odyssey of the West that Markham, the poet, was born. However, it took him forty-seven years to acquire enough inspiration to write his masterpiece, "The Man with the Hoe." Now Charley Raymond, Edgar A. Guest, L. Adda Nichols and Will Car­ leton stayed in Michigan where it doesn’t take inspiration so long to ripen, and produced masterpieces any time they wanted to. As I listened to Markham render “The Man with the Hoc." I thought if he. had only visited Nashville some Friday evening along in the early Eighties he would have been so full of inspiration he could have written a volume of poesy on the "hoe” propo­ sition—both sides of Main street .would have been lined with business 'men and clerks with hoes in their, hands manicuring the cobblestone pavement in preparation for the big Saturday's trade. And yet there were some people who considered the place a one-horse town and departed for other localities. Those who re­ mained showed horse sense as is in­ dicated by the reports of the local banks. You may not know it, but the sum total of the deposits in your lo­ cal banks, figuring from a per capita standpoint, is larger than the banner agricultural town of the state of Ohio. Yes, money talks, and it says right out in plain figures that you old-timers were backing the right horse when you played Nashville to win Honestly, there are more "hicks" on a city lot than there are on a township of rural soil. This has al­ ways been so. even as far back as 1885. To show you that these city boobs have a one-track mind. I am going to relate a story about Orno Strong. It was during those days when a fakir would hit town, rent a vacant building and charge five and ten cents admission to see the curios­ ities. About everything except Lot's wife and Rip Van Winkle's gun was on exhibit. One day a couple of fel­ lows blew Into town with a "petrified giant." This Brobdingnagian was about eight feet long as he laid in his casket. His arms were folded across his breast in peaceful repose. Now Hank Wolcott had an eye sharper than an eagle and could guess the length of a board within a few inch­ es. Hank got an idea in bis head that lhe giant’s arms were not mates and so he measured them and discov­ ered that one of the members was six inches longer than the other. But still people gave up their thin dime to see the giant. Every doctor in town took a look at it and that might have been the rea­ son that Dr. Young made such a glaring error In filling out an insur­ ance application fob Orno Strong. The application stated that Orno weighed 135 pounds and was ten feet five inches tall. Now if a small town business, man had received that ap­ plication he would have known that it should have read five feet ten inch­ es. But a city man does everything by rule, and so the company wrote Because there are both six and twelve volt batteries, some folks think battery value depends on volts alone. : Furniture and Undertaking NASHVILLE — VERMONTVILLE $■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ "How often it Is that sufferers have abandoned hope, and then have found relief, through Konjola, from the ills of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, and from rheumatism, neur­ itis and nervousness.

With Knowledge ot the Fact That Planting Time is Approaching You No Doubt Have Pondered and Studied on the Question ot What Crops to Raise in the Season 1929! As a rule, your main item in crops is the revenue you receive for raising. In determining this revenue you consider three things—the possibilities of yield per acre, selling price and market at harvesting time. In this connection we are glad to advise the farmers of Barry and adjoining counties, that we are again ready to present you with a proposition which we ask that you consider in making your plans on what to raise during 1929. We now have stations, which assure you of a market, at the following places:— Hastings, Nashville, Freeport, Delton, Woodland, Alto and Middleville— where you car, take your product and receive the cash on delivery on a guar* anteed price, with seed furnished FREE. This solves two of the problems above, your selling price, and the market. As to the yield per acre, this depends largely on the following: Mainly the nature of the soil, manner of cultivation to conserve moisture and kill weeds, the amount of plant food in the soil to grow good, healthy plants that will grow quick, which will be more apt to throw off disease and produce more abundantly in the twelve weeks in which you grow and harvest the pickle crop. In brief, by securing a pickle contract you have a guaranteed price, a guaranteed market, with seed furnished and a twelve weeks’ crop with cash on delivery. Our Prices Can Be Obtained From One of Our Representatives Our interest is mutual, and we will do everything in our power to co-oper­ ate for success. In case one of our representatives does not call on you, con­ tracts can be secured by writing or phoning Joe DeRuiter, Hastings, Mich. Come in and look over our large and varied stock, see the paper in large pieces before selecting. Bring the measurements of your rooms and we will deliver the paper. No annoying waits.

' Nashville, as well as various other districts in Barry county, will benefit under provisions of the Turner Bill, which has passed the house of repre­ sentatives and senate at Lansing, pro­ viding $2,000,000 to be distributed among school districts of the state having a tax rate of more than $10 per thousand of valuation. Under the provisions of this bill $5,205.88 will be distributed in Barry county. The per­ centage of this amount which Nash­ ville (1 fr.) and Castleton 2 fr. would receive will be determined from the valuation of the districts involved. While the amount sounds small, every little bit helps and Nashville, with its rate of $16.49 for school purposes will welcome any amount. There are 47 districts in the county which will benefit under provisions of the measure. Assyria township has three with rates over $10. 1928 re­ ports, on which the estimates were based, does not show Maple Grove with any benefitting districts. Hope and Irving townships have the largest number of districts which will benefit, Hope having six and Irving nine over the $10 limit. Former Resident Died in Battle Creek Lanson R. Ashley. 74, an uncle of Mrs. Len W. Feighner, passed away at Nichols hospital at Battle Creek Sunday morning, after a long illness from heart trouble. Funeral services were held at the Pendill funeral home on East Main street at Battle Creek Tuesday afternoon and interment was in Lakeview cemetery in Nashville. Rev. T. G. Lewis of Battle Creek, a former pastor of the Nashville Bap­ tist church, officiated. Deceased leaves a widow but no children. He was a resident of Nashville from 1896 to 1900, and many old friends here remember him kindly rfs a man of high character and integrity, a good friend and a good citi^n. BARNES PTA. The Barnes PTA will meet Friday evening, April 19. On account of the program it will be very necessary for the business meeting to be called promptly at eight o'clock, fast time, as the annual election of officers will take place. Miss Hatfield is in charge of the program and through the kind­ ness of the Rebekah lodge they will present their play, 'Too Much Bor­ rowing", and the well known Kamiensy orchestra of Vermontville will fur­ nish the musical part of the program. We feel very grateful to all who will give us of their time and talent, and we extend a most cordial welcome to the public to come and enjoy the evening with us. The program will be followed by refreshments, served by Mesdames Lena and Fern Mix. Bring your own table service, please. Experimental Fish Refuge — No Fishing Please"—Department of Conseryatlon. That’s the sign which will be placed again this year on about 500 natural spawning beds of bass and bluegills In Michigan lakes and streams. The work of locating and placing these signs will be in charge of Henry Schuil of Grand Rapids, under the di-’ rection of the fish division of the con­ servation department. Game wardens with the assistance of abutting property owners are to keep a close check on the -operating of the posted areas; future laws may be based on the initial results obtain­ ed in these experimental efforts. The attitude of the fishermen and their willingness to cooperate with the letter and spirit of these signs will have much to do with the future en­ forcement possibilities of such, mark­ ers, and in the development of the fish refuge plan in Michigan. HASTINGS MASONS ROYALLY ENTERTAIN NASHVILLE GROUP DANCING, CARDS, BILLIARDS EN­ JOYED BY MORE THAN HUN­ DRED MEMBERS AND LADIES. Members of Zion Chapter, No. 171, R. A. M. and their ladies were royal­ ly entertained by,members of Giblum Council No. 49. R. & S. M., and their ladies, of Hastings, at an exceptional­ ly fine party at the Nashville Club rooms and auditorium on Friday eve­ ning of last week. Bringing their own orchestra they staged a dancing program during the early Dart of the evening and practical!}" all of the hundred persons in attendance trip­ ped the light fantastic. Following an hour of dancing a musical program in which Hastings and Nashville folks were principals, was enjoyed. The special numbers were given by the following: . Vocal solos—Miss Kintch .director of music in the Hastings schools. Miss Gladys Potter. Mrs. Gordon Edmonds and Mrs. L. H.. Cook. Nashville. Mr. Walters, teacher in the Hast­ ings schools, also entertained with tricks of magic art which not only mystified, but entertained the whole audience. C. L. Glasgow. Nashville, addressed the gathering with a few choice re­ marks. "Midnight and Sunshine', no other than Percy Penfold and Donald Wal­ dron, Nashville, won hearty applause with their black-face skit, and south­ ern melodies. Following the musical program more dancing was enjoyed until a late hour. Refreshments were served by the Hastings organization. In addition to the dancing and mus­ ical program, cards, billiards and pool were enjoyed by a number of those present, rounding out one of the most entertaining evenings ever en­ joyed by local Masons and their wives. Because of the excellent time shown the Nashville folks by Giblum council, it is quite likely that ax simi­ lar party will be given by Zion Chap­ ter to the Hastings folks in Hastings in the near future.

Capital punishment makes its ap­ pearance on the floor of the Senate. The measure was reported out Wed­ nesday afternoon. Under provisions of the bill as reported out by the judiciary committee, the matter, if passed ' by Senate and House and signed by the governor, is to be voted upon by the people of the state at the November election. The measure is made a special order in the Senate Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. The House decisively defeated Rep. McBride's bill providing for nomina­ tion of township officers by non-parti­ san caucuses. The vote was 15 to 68. Rep. MacRae's bill for compulsory automobile insurance was also ditched by referring it to the committee on judiciary, where it is thought to be buried. The vote was 18 to 71.

Konjola, the new medicine, has been called a “boon”, a "blessing" and a “Godsend" by countless men and wo­ men to whom it has brought the first and only relief from obstinate ills of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow­ els, and from rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness. Konjola conquers when all else fails; it banishes disease at the source; it is not designed to give mere temporary relief. What encouragement there is in the state­ ment of Mrs. Anna Buck, 89 W.

More than two hundred and seven­ ty-five folks attended and enjoyed the annual achievement day program at the Nashville high school on Monday afternoon. The crowd was sufficient to pack the auditorium, both ' seats and standing room. Exhabits of dresses and other cloth­ ing the girls had made during the past year were on display about the walls and after a program of music and speaking, etc., the girls donned their dresses and appeared in a “style show" which showed to ad­ vantage the skill they have attained in handicraft work. Most of the dresses were for school wea^. al­ though one sport outfit appeared among them. worn, by Miss Edna Brumm. As each young lady ap­ peared on the platform, her name, cost of the dress and its purpose was announced. Following the style show Miss Gage of the. Michigan State College exten­ sion department, presented the girls with certificates and announced the names of champions who will exhibit in a county contest at a later show­ ing and. if fortunate enough to win there will be sent to Lansing, for a state contest. Those winning in the various clubs are: Mrs. Brumm's club: Helen Brumm, first, Edna Brumm, second, and Mar­ garet Burton, style show winner. Mrs. Nelson’s club: Helen Bassett, first, Winifred Brumm, second, and Agnes Tieche, style show winner. Mrs. Powers’ Club: Marcheta Brumm, first, and Isabelle Graham, second. Mrs. Maurer's Club: Ferne Schulze, first. Helen Brumm, second, 'and Jean Roe. style show winner. Mrs. Wenger's club: Phyllis Higdon, first, Dorothy Wright, second, and Av­ is Gage, style show winner. In the program which preceded the style show and awarding 'of cham­ pionships, the following numbers were given: Violin solo—Louise Lentz. Vocal solo—Margaret Burton. Original Poem— Opal Hall. Club Pledge by 4-H club members. Reports of clubs. Club songs. Miss Beatrice Boyle, county club agent, was present and took general ' charge of the showing arid to her. along with the local ladies who so ably directed the work and assumed the responsibility of leadership, go the credit for the excellent showing made Monday afternoon. ' During the afternoon also, as a part of the program. County School Com­ missioner Chamberlain' supervised a spelling contest in which - winners from each school of the towrahip par­ ticipated to determine the township champion. The winner here will at­ tend a similar contest in Hastings at some future date where there will be a county elimination and from there to state eliminations. In the spell­ down Monday afternoon Miss Ferne Schulze, an 8th grade student in the Nashville school, won first place, and Miss Dora Foster of Barryville, placed second. One of the remarkable facts in connection with the spell-down was that Mr. Chamberlain was forced to resort to ninth-grade words in order to eliminate contestants and end the spelling.

In this connection it is well to remember that resident male trout anglers over 21 years of age are required by law to acquire a trout license, the fee for which is one dollar. For non-resi­ dents over 18 years of age the license fee is five dollars. A button similar in size to the hunting license button in use last fall will be issued with each angler’s li­ cense and must be worn when fishing. Few changes have been made in the streams -open to trout fishing this year. The 1929 fishing law digest will be in the hands of license agents within a few days.

ERS YIELDS AND HASTENS MATURITY OF CROP. CORN RESPONDS WELL TO MORE PLANT FOOD Fertilizers applied on corn ground serve both to increase the yield of corn and to aid the early maturing of the crop, according to a statement by members of the soils department at Michigan State College. The feeding value of mature corn is much greater than that of corn which had not hardened, and it has been found in trials in this State that ap­ plications of fertilizers have hastened the time of maturity by from a week to ten days. Yields secured by win­ ners of the Michigan five acre corn growing contest are ample proof of the effect of fertilizer in increasing yields. Farmers who are convinced that fertilizers are a profitable invest­ ment but they are not sure what an­ alyses or mixtures to use on their farm. The kind of fertilizer, thetpoils specialists say, depends upon the type of soil, the crops previously grown, and the previous management of the soils. The State College soils department recommends the use of a 2-12-6 or a 4-16-4 fertilizer on light soils which are low in fertility. Where the fertil­ ity is higher, 2-16-2 or 2-12-6 will give good results. For the heavier soils, 2-16-2 is recommended if the soil fertility has been depleted, and 0*20-0 for the same type of soil upon which manure has been applied. Applications of 250 pounds per acre, broadcast, or 150 to 175 pounds when; the fertilizer is applied in the rows.

LAKE ENTERTAINS MILL BURNED DOWN IN MISSIONARY SOCIETY MID-AFTERNOON BLAZE AT HER HOME ERIDAY LOCAL SOCIETY CELEBRATES 60th ANNIVERSARY OF THE W. F. M. S. OF THE M. E. CHURCH. Friday afternoon. April 17. the Methodist Missionary society met with Mrs. John Lake. After the meeting was called to order by the president. Mrs. Will Dean, Mrs. E. Palmer led the devotions. Mrs. G. E. Wright gave a very interesting report of the address which wqs given at the County Rally at Hastings last Wed­ nesday, by Dr. Malek, a missionary from Africa. She and her husband were the only Christian missionaries among a tribe of 800,000 primitive people. These natives have no writ­ ten language, and their lives are lived in constant fear. Because of unsani­ tary conditions, infection, danger from insects, reptiles, etc., and be­ cause of ignorance, superstition and lack of medical attention, the death rate is very great, especially among the children. Mrs. G. Edmonds sang, "O, Zion Haste.” A play entitled. "A Remembering Party", was then given in commemor­ ation of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the W. F. M. S. of the M. E. church, which was organized at Boston in 1869. The play represent­ ed a party given 30 years later, by one of the charter members and at­ tended by four of the surviving mem­ bers.' Mrs. Babbit, a neighbor of the hostess, who bad no use for missions, drops in to call and accepts an invi­ tation to remain. She becomes inter­ ested when she really knows the need Mrs. Butler tells how she and Mrs. Parker had been in India for years, with their missionary husbands, and bad seen such degradation and misery among the women and children as women in this country know nothing of, and so were anxious tn interest the women of the home land. The or­ ganization spread rapidly and soon was supporting two missionaries in India. The characters were represent­ ed by Mesdames C. Pennock, R. Biv­ ens, Sackett, Hafner and McClure and Miss E. Dean, all dressed in costumes of thirty years ago. After a short business session the meeting adjourn­ ed to meet again the evening of May 3. The annual Thank offering will be held next Sunday morning, when Dr. Greening, from the state Of Washing­ ton, will be the speaker. i LOSS of (2,000 SUSTAINED THRU FAILURE TO CARRY INSUR­ ANCE ON BUILDING OR CON- Flre, starting from a gasoline en­ gine, almost completely destroyed the [ Troxel lumber mill and wood-working shop between Fuller street and the | railroad in the south end of the vil­ lage this (Wednesday) afternoon. The fire started shortly after one o’clock. Beside the building, a considerable quantity of wood-working machinery was ruined in the blaze which was not brought under control until after it had spread throughout the main sectior. of the building. Training the hose on the east section of the struc­ ture, firemen succeeded in saving that portion from burning, but the balance of the building is total loss. The establishment is owned by Wm. and Vernard Troxel. Their loss is es­ timated by them to be better than $2,000, with no insurance on any part of it. Luckily, there was practically no wind, what little there was being in the south, carrying the blaze acrojs the tracks. However, for a time the old Gribbin mill across the tracks was in danger, and firemen were station­ ed there for emergency. Juniors Will Have Fun Fest Friday Night Members of the junior class of Nashville high school are making ar­ rangements for their annual fun fes­ tival which will be held at the school house Friday evening of this week.

Some folks have been wondering why the local high school baseball team didn't open the season with a home game. The main reason is- that there were not enough canoes for all the spectators, and. home of the play­ ers can't swim. River water, which may or may not be contaminated by sewage disposal further up-stream, has certainly kept the baseball park sufficiently inundated for the past week wx— enough water for an ideal duck pond, swimmin* hole, or what have you. School authorities have ad­ vised that as soon as. the waters re-' cede so that hip boots are unnecessary for players and spectators alike there will probably be ball games aplenty. The first one to be played locally is scheduled for April 30 when Sunfield is the attraction, but the old Thornap­ ple will have to do a snappy reces­ sional if the grounds are in playing condition.

This super-compound of 32 Ingredients, 22 of them the juices of roots and herbs, wins because it goes at once to the very causes of disease. Konjola’s mission is not to give mere tempor­ ary relief, but lasting results. After all, the experiences of others is the best guide to those who would be well again. Read, then, what Mr. John Morris, 79, 316 East Ann street, Ann Arbor, says of this marvelous medicine: "At the age of 79 I abandoned hope of ever escaping from rheumatism and kidney trouble. I could hardly get around; the pains were so in­ tense I thought I could not bear them a moment longer. I had to get up many times at night. But what a change Konjola wrought! Two bot­ tles gave such splendid results that I knew at last recovery was in sight. Day by day I grew better ,and now I am sleeping fine and practically all my rheumatic trouble has gone. I eagerly praise Konjola to everyone." Konjola is sold in Nashville at E. L. Kane's Poetoffice Pharmacy and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this ent’re section. Recall the scene.

How had he dared to love so magnificent a creature.

Blue Rose Raisin or Raisin Bran Bread Suddenly, with the swiftness of a tiger-cat, the Sicilian leaped for­ ward and struck the Englishman on the cheek. "That I won't." Lord St. Maurice answered good-humoredly. "Just take my advice. Make up your mind that we both can't have her. and she’s chosen me. and come and give nfe your hand like a man. Think it over, now, before the morning. Goodnight!" The Sicilian sprang up, and looked rapidly around. At an adjoining table he recognized two men, and touched one on the shoulder. "Signors!” he cried, “and you. Sig­ nor le Capttalne. pardon me if I ask you for your hearing for an instant. This—gentleman here has insulted me, and declines to give me satisfac­ tion. I have called him a coward and a rascal, and I repeat it! His name is Lord St. Maurice. If he forfeits his right to be considered a gentleman, I demand that his name be struck off the visitor’s club.” The three men had risen to their feet. Two of them were gentlemen of the neighborhood with who Lord St. Maurice had a bowing acquaintance. The third was a French officer. They looked Inquiringly at Lord St. Maur­ ice. "It's true, gentlemen." he said with easy self-possession. “He’s been call­ ing me all the bad names under the sun, and I have declined to give him what he calls satisfaction. I haven’t the least objection to your knowing it" The two Palermitans looked at one another doubtfully. The officer, giv­ ing his moustache a twist, stepped forward and bowed. “Might we inquire your reasons for declining the duel?" he asked. The Englishman shrugged his shoulders. ? "Certainly," he answered. “In the first place. I am an officer in the ser­ vice of Her Majesty the Queen, and duelling is strictly forbidden; in the second. Signer di Marioni is too ex­ cited to know what he is talking about." "In England. Signor, your first ob­ jection is valid; here, it is scarcely so. As to the latter, Monsieur le Count seems now to be perfectly com­ posed. I am on the committee of the club, and I fear that I must erase your name if you persist in your re­ fusal." "I don’t care two straws about your dub," Lord St. Maurice answered carelessly. "As for the duel, I decline it. once and for all. We Englishmen have a code of honor of our own, and it is more to us than the custom of the countries which we chance to vis­ it I wish you good-night, gentle­ men." They fell back, impressed in spite of themselves by the coolness and hauteur of his words. Suddenly, with the swiftness of a tiger-cat, the Sicil­ ian leaped forward and struck the Englishman on the cheek. "Perhaps you will tell us ail. Sig­ nor, how the men of your country re­ sent an insult such at that." he cried. The Sicilian struggled, but be was like a child in the Englishman's arms. He had caught him up in a vice-like grasp, and held him high over the heads of the astonished onlookers. For a moment he seemed as though he were going to throw him right out of the restaurant on to the Marina, but at the last moment he changed bls mind, and with a contemptuous ges­ ture >ct down Qj the midst of them, breathless and choking. "You can send your seconds as soon as you dke." he said shortly. "Good­ evening, gentlemen." Thqy fell back before him Jfk* cheep, leaving a broad way right into the hotel, through which he passed. closing the little cove. There was on­ ly one possible approach to it, save by boat, and that a difficult and tedious one, and looking upward from the shore, hard to discover. But on the northward side the cliffs suddenly dropped, and in the cleft was a thick plantation of aloes, through which a winding path led down to the beach. Perhaps of all the little group gath­ ered down there to witness and take part in the coming tragedy, Signor Pruccio, Lord St.- Maurice’s second, was looking the most disturbed and anxious. His man, he knew, must fall, and an ugly sickening dread was in his heart. It was so like a murder. He pictured to himself that fair boy­ ish face—and in the clear morning •sunlight the young Englishman's face showed marvelously few signs of the night of agony through which he had passed—ghastly and livid, with the stamp of death upon the forehead, and the deep blue eyes glazed and dull. It was an awful thing, yet what could he do ? What hope was there ? Leonardo di Marioni he knew to be a famous swordsman; Lord St. Maurice had never fenced since he had left Et­ on. and scarcely remembered the po­ sitions. It was doubtful even whether he had ever held a rapier. But what Signor Pruccio feared most was the pale, unflinching hate in the Sicilian's wlfite face. He loathed it, and yet it fascinated him. He knew, alas! how easily, by one swift turn of the wrist, he would be able to pass his sword through the Englishman's body, mocking at his unskilled defense. He fancied that he could see the arms thrown up to heaven, the fixed, wild eyes, the red blood spurting out from the wound and staining the virgin earth: almost he fancied he could hear the death-cry break from those agonized white lips. Horrible effort of the imagination! What evil chance had made him offer bis services to this young English Lord, and dragged him into assisting at a duel which could be but a farce—worse than a farce, a murder? He would have given half his fortune for an earth­ quake to have come and swallowed up that merciless Sicilian. Signor Pruccio had delayed the duel as long as he could, under the pretext of waiting for the doctor who had been instructed to follow them, but who had not yet arrived. Twice the Sicilian had urged that they should commence, and each time he hqd pleaded that they might wait for a few minutes longer. To enter upon a duel a 1'outrance, save in the pres­ ence of a medical man. was a tiling unheard of, he declared. But at last this respite was exhausted, for the opposing second, with a pleasant smile, had remarked that he himself was skilled in surgery, and would be happy to officiate should any necessi­ ty arise. There was no longer any excuse. Lord St. Maurice himself in­ sisted upon the signal being given. Sadly therefore he prepared to give IL Already both men had fallen into po­ sition. The word trembled upon his Ups. A flock of sea birds flew screaming over their heads, and he waited a moment until they should have passed. Then he raised his hand. "Stop!" The cry was a woman's. They all looked round. Only a few yards awa; rom them stood Adrienne, her fair hair streaming loose in the momlnj breeze, and her gown torn and soiled. She had just issued from the sloping aloe plantation, and was trembling in .“very 1‘rnb from the speed of her de­ scent Post Bran Flakes , 16-oz. loaf fWg* Rowena Pancake or Graham Flour zoc 'SrAnaNTic&ltaEiHC^ iG ~ ESTABLISHED 1859 ==■ The cloud on the Sicilian’s face "Out of my way!" he cried, grasp­ became quite quiet and free from ex­ grew black as night ing his sword firmly.

Residents of Nashville are warned against using make-shift devises for connecting electrical current to bouse lines in place of the regularly au­ thorized fus«. plugs. Use of pennies or other coins. In blown fuse plugs, or behind them, may be the cause of ser­ ious fire, make collection of insurance a problem, and otherwise cause prop­ erty loss. Use of these devises DOES NOT affect the amount of current .flowing through your meter, but it does eliminate a vital safety factor in case of abort circuits, accidents, etc. Give your pennies in church, but keep them out of your electrical meeban- Mrs. Lillian Hill, who is ill at the home of Mrs. L.

Parker Married Thurs. at Angola, Indiana AS AUTOMOBILE HITS PHONE POLE Homer W. Ayers and Mrs?

Mr. and Mrs. Ayers are well known here and their many friends are offering con­ MR. AND MRS. A. D. OLMSTEAD gratulations. . AND GRANDSON CUT AND BRUISED SUNDAY AFTER­ NOON. A. D. Olmstead is suffering from severe bruises about the chest and bead, and 'Mrs. Olmstead and little Sndson, Billy Olmstead, are nurssevere cuts about the face caus­ ed by flying glass, as the result of an automobile accident Sunday after­ noon. 1 Mr. and Mrs. Olmstead and grandson were returning from a short drive into the country north of town when Mr. Olmstead failed to complete the turn at the northwest corner of Putnam park, crashing into a tele­ phone pole there- and completely sev­ ering the pole jult above the ground. Force of the impact threw Mr. Olm­ stead against the steering wheel- in such manner as to ’ severely bruise him, while glass from the broken windshield did the carnage to the faces of his wife and the small boy. That Mr. Olmstead was not aware of the nearness of the turn in the road and was going too fast to moke the turn is the belief of members of the family. The road at this point is downhill and usually requires ap­ plication of brakes to slacken speed. Whether the driver failed to apply brakes, or stepped on the accelera­ tor instead, is not clear, but the ma­ chine struck on ttie right front spring shackle, or end’of, the frame, and completely wrecked the right front side of the car. The frame wad "stoved” in the full length of the car. and the engine block and flywheel housing is broken, the front axle bent and the car otherwise damaged. The injured folks were taken to their home in the sopth part of town where their injuries were dressed and they were made as comfortable as possible. While Mr. Olmstead's in­ juries appear to be the most serious, it is hoped he will experience a speedy recoveiy with no ill effects resulting. The corner where the accident hap­ pened is a bad one. The road tums a sharp right angle, around the side of a hill which obscures the vision of motorists from either the north or east. The village council has asked the Consumers Power Co. to install a red light instead of a white one now in use above the corner, but to date no change has been made. “Simba” at Hastings Wed., Thurs. Nights Hastings Lions club members are sponsoring one of the outstanding picture shows of the last year in an effort to raise funds for benefit of Boy Scouts of the <iunty. "Simba", a film which portrays wild life of Af­ rica and which was filmed by the Johnsons in the African jungle, is the attraction being offered by them at the Strand theatre in Hastings to­ night, (Wednesday) and Thursday night. The entire proceeds go into the Boy Scout fund, and it is plan­ ned to assist in the hiring of an ex­ perienced county supervisor of scout affairs which will embrace every town in Barry county, including Nashville. Dr. H. R. Willett, C. H. Tuttle and Supt. Prescott are in charge of the sale of tickets locally and anyone wishing to participate in this fund, and see the show, may procure tick­ ets of them. Funeral Held Sunday Tor Mrs. Geo. Thomas Mrs. Geo. W. Thomas passed away at four o'clock Friday morning. April 26th, 1929. at her home. She is sur­ vived by her husband. George W. Thomas, and four children: Mrs. Clara Gipe and Grace Thomas of Ash­ land. Ohio. Clyde of Flint, and Mrs. Bessie Rumbaugh of Miami. Fla., also two sisters. Mrs. Hattie Weaver of Nashville and Mrs. Nora McClelland of Morgan; also a granddaughter. Mary Gipe. aged 11 years. Mrs. Thomas was born in Hanover. Michigan. Nov. 3rd. 1865. She was 63 years. 6 months and 23 days of age at the time of her death. Miss Minnie Coe was united in mar­ riage to Mr. George Thomas May 8th, 1895. After their marriage they mad« their home in Reed City, coming back to Nashville 6 months later. Mrs. Thomas was highly respected and esteemed by a large circle of friends. As a wife, she was ever loy­ al. kind and faithful. As a neighbor she was uniformly kind-hearted, courteous and hospitable. For some time she had been in poor health, but through it all she was patient and hopeful. The secret of her power was in her unwavering faith in God. God has taken His own. He has a home pre­ pared for her, a mansion. 'Hot made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." The funeral was held from .the home at 10.30 o'clock Sunday fore­ noon, and interment in Lakeview cemetery. Rev. Albert Ostroth offici­ ated.

Mr. and Mrs. Koppin, Clarence Austin of Jackson. HIGH SCHOOL TEAM TAKES TUESDAY’S GAME FROM SUNFIELD NUMEROUS HITS AND ERRORS FEATURE OPENING GAME ON HOME LOT; SCORE 10-6. Steady hitting on the part of Nash­ ville's high school team and a string of errors by Sunfield players gave the local boys.a comfortable victory over the visitors in a game here Tuesday afternoon. The boys started out with a batting eye that promised to knock Stanbaugh, the Sunfield hurler, from the mound, getting two .runs in the first and four in the second Innings, without the visitors appearing dan­ gerous either from a hitting or-scor­ ing standpoint. However, in the fourth, a few hits by Sunfield and several errors on the part of local boys pretty near "blew up" the old ball game and the visiting boys brought in six runs for a tied score. In the succeeding innings the local boys managed to round out four more runs, bringing the final score to 10-6 for Nashville, when the game was called on account of rain. Seven in­ nings were played. The line-up was as follows: Nashville Sunfield Furlong p Stanbaugh Williams c Haskins D. Housler lb McDiamid Kleinhans 2b Bosworth Mason 3b Coppers Nelson ss Mapes Tieche If Wise L Housler cf Reahm McDowell rf Parks Umpires: Olin and Wetherbee. The local boys will play at Middle­ ville Friday afternoon, and on May 10 Woodland will play here. Both of these games should be good ones and it is expected a large number of fans will accompany Diem on their journ­ eys out of town as well as be present at the home games. Tester Finds Lost Dairy Herd Profit LAST STRIPPINGS OF MILK CON­ TAIN GREATEST PERCENTAGE OF BUTTERFAT. Dairymen who find that the butter­ fat content of the milk from their herds is too low may be able to raise the test of the milk by spending more time stripping the cows, if the dis­ covery made bjr a tester in herd im­ provement association work is an in­ dication of conditions throughout the State. Charles Weeks, tester in the Gene­ see-Otisville association, tested 15 pounds of milk which was stripped from cows which were supposedly milked dry. The test for the strip­ pings was 8.6 per cent butterfat. On this herd, the strippings would con­ tain an average of 40 pounds of but­ terfat each month. . The herd where this test was made contained 13 cows, so more than three pounds of butterfat per cow was lost when the cows were not milked completely dry. An equal loss on all cows in Michigan would ma­ terially reduce the profits of the dairymen in this State. Experiments conducted at Michi­ gan State College show that the keeping quality of the first milk drawn from the cow's udder is lower than that drawn afterwards, so the keeping quality as well as the test of the milk is improved if the cow is milked completely dry. Kroger Stock Moved to Thomas Store The Kroger Grocery and Baking Co., which owns and operates the Kroger and C. Thomas stores, on Tuesday moved the local Kroger stock to the Thomas store and will operate only one store here. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Titmarsh, who have been managing the Kroger unit here, have been transferred to Wayland, where they will continue the management of a store. Have You “Cleaned Up” Your Back Yard?

JOE BOCHIN SKI. "Konjola surely is a wonderful medicine", said Mr. Joe Bochinski. 130 Monroe street, Saginaw. “For nine years I searched vainly for re­ lief from stomach trouble and rheu­ matism. My fbod did not digest, gas formed and my stomach bloated. Suffering followed every meal. Rheu­ matism settled in my legs. hips, arms and shoulders. My poor condition worried me. . "What a pleasant surprise Konjola gave me. My stomach was corrected, food digests perfectly, and gas and bloating have vanished. Rheumatism has been relieved wonderfully, and I feel immeasurably better all over. I certainly owe a debt of gratitude to Konjola.” Konjola is sold in Nashville at EL L.

That people know there is little guess-work in buying advertised goods. That they know "there's a differ­ ence" between goods advertised and goods that are not advertised, and the difference is in favor of advertised goods. That the big sendee given by the up-to-date merchandiser is that of selecting the right kind of merchan­ dise to offer the public. That the success of their business depends on the right kind of mer­ chandise and the right kind of adver­ tising. That advertising gives sendee to the buyer as well as the seller; both should remember that. That there are two kinds of busi­ ness concerns—those who advertise and those who don’t. Those who don't are on their tvay to failure and those who do are building a greater buxine’ That competition is good for any business. It increases business by creating more business and it also im­ proves quality and service. No business concern has a right to be a parasite. They become para­ sites when they depend upon the live business concerns to do all the adver­ tising that brings business to the home city. Every concern should be a live one and do Ils share to bring business to the home city by advertising in local papers. CARD OF THANKS.

Kidder of Chicago, Ill., a former | resident of Nashville, and widely known here, states he is very anx- 1 lous to get in touch with veterans of • the World War- who were members of : the 4 th Division. He states that ' there were a number of such members I in this vicinity and he is desirous of having them write him at 2 W. Chest­ nut SL, Chicago, III. Dr. Kidder also enclosed a copy of ‘The Ivy Leaves,” official publication of the 4th Div.

Mich. T. B. Ass’n Stresses Diagnosis For Early Symptoms The earliest danger signs of tuber­ culosis, the advice that early discov­ ery -means early recovery, and the suggestion to “let your doctor decide” are parts of the educational informa­ tion on tuberculosis which are incor­ Erated in 377 billboard posters that ve been put on display during April by outdoor advertising companies of Michigan. . The posters stress ’’early discov­ ery—early recovery,” the slogan of the April Early Diagnosis Campaign conducted by the Michigan Tubercu­ losis Association as one of its Christ­ mas seal financed activities. Space and labor Involved in placing the post­ ers have been contributed without charge by the advertising companies. posters are: too easily tired, loss of weight, indigestion, and a cough that hangs on. Any ohe of these symp­ toms, states the Michigan Tuberculo­ sis Association, should be taken as sufficient reason for securing a thor­ ough chest examination, since the on­ set of the disease often is marked in the early stages by only very slight abnormalities. Sportsmen Asked to Return Tags of Fish It is anticipated by the fish division of -the Conservation department that some of the 5,000 trout which were tagged and released last year will be taken during the • coming season. Sportsmen will materially assist the department if they will send all tags taken from such fish to J. Metzelaar, University Museum. Ann Arbor. Michigan. The length of the fish in inches and the location taken should begiven when sending in tags. These tags will be returned if desired.

BANK : COMPLETES 40 YEARS SERVICE INSTITUTION WAS INCORPORAT­ ED MAY 11, 1889, WITH CAPI­ TAL STOCK OF 850.000. On Saturday, May 11, the Farm­ ers & Merchants Bank will have reached the fortieth milestone'in its span of service to Nashville and com­ munity and the occasion is being ob­ served through various means, among which is that of announcements being mailed to stockholders and friends of the institution .and an essay contest among students of the local schools in which the students will write on -the subject "Forty years of Service to Nashville." Although instituted in the fall of 1888, it was not until May 11/1889, that a charter was granted the local organization. Corporation papers were issued by the state banking de­ partment and capital stock of 850.­ 000 authorized. This amount has since been reduced to 835,000. Of­ ficers of the bank were: President. C. D. Beebe; vice president. G. A. Tru­ man; Cashier. C. A. Hough; directors, L. E. Knappen. N. A. Fuller. G. A. Truman. W. H. Kleinhans, H. R. Dickinson. C. W. Smith and C. D. Beebe. It is interesting to note that of the founders of the institution on­ ly two are still listed among its of­ ficers. W. H. Kleinhans and C. W. Smith still holding memberships on the board of directors. In 1918 the corporate existence of the bank was extended another thir­ ty years by the state banking de­ partment. With its incorporation in 1889 the Farmers & Merchants Bank was one of the first state banks to be organiz­ ed in Michigan. It is No. 19. An examination of the latest ‘ records shows that only a few. probably less than half, of the banks organized and incorporated prior to the local insti­ tution still retain their original Iden­ tity, making the F. A M. one of the oldest state banks within Michigan’s boundaries. Of those incorporated prior most, if not all. were organiz­ ed during the first few months of the same year. During the forty years of its ex­ istence the bank has had only three presidents, and two cashiers. Mr. Beebe, who was the original chief ex­ ecutive, held office for only a short time, and G. A. Truman was elected in his place. Mr. Truman held the office until 1911 when C. L. Glasgow was elected to the bank’s presidency, and continues in this capacity. C. A. Hough, the bank's original cashier, continued his service in this capacity until 1926 when Carl H. Tuttle, who had been serving in the capacity of acting cashier, took over the duties of this office upon the. retirement of Mr. Hough, who is now a re^dent of California. Thirty years of identification in lo­ cal hanking circles is the record claimed by Mr. Tuttle who entered the bank's employment 10 years af­ ter its incorporation, or September. 1899. Since that time he has been connected with the bank, either as employee or stockholder. In' 1911 he was made assistant cashier, and five years ago became acting cashier. About three years ago he became the bank's cashier. All the other em­ ployes of the bank which include F. Kent Nelson. R. V. McNltt, H. D. Wotring and Miss Frieda Hecker, have from one to twenty years ser­ vice to their credit. • That the Farmers A Merchants Bank has made a splendid record in banking service there can be no doubt. Starting in a small way in the room now occupied by Gardner's restaurant, the institution operated there until June, 1923, when the present banking offices were com­ pletes and the business was moved a block south. Records show a total of $71,000 assets when the bank start­ ed. Today assets have passed the SS50.O00 mark, with the promise that the future holds further prosperity for this valuable institution. While feeling a certain satisfaction at having reached their fortieth mile­ stone. officers and directors of the bank are conscious of a further re­ sponsibility to the community of which they are a part, and the ex­ perience gained during this long span of years has served to better fit them for the service they expect to render. The public generally will join the bank family of officers, directors and stockholders in their fortieth anni­ versary observance and in addition wish for them another forty years of useful, friendly banking service. “Thia Thing Called Love" at Po»t Theatre A sparkling comedy entitled "This Thing Called Love," has been select­ ed as the opening play for the en­ gagement of the Wright Players, who win begin an extended engagement at the Poet theatre on Sunday evening. May 12th. This play has scored a great hit in New York and Chicago, where it has played long engagements this season. There will be popular priced matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. A new play will be pre­ sented every week. The box office is dow open for the receipt of season subscriptions. Under this plan which will be explained at the box office, the same seats win be laid away for any­ one who desires, for any performance every week without advance payment. Rev. Wm.

ELECTRIC, TELEPHONE LINES DOWN IN STORM HERE LAST THURSDAY PHONE COMPANIES SUFFER LARGE LOSS ABOUND NASH­ VILLE AND VERMONTVILLE. Telephone ’ and electric service around Nashville and Vermontville as well as most all of Barry county, was seriously disabled last Thursday af­ ternoon and night when a heavy snow and ice storm struck this ter­ ritory in the most damaging catastro­ phe of the winter. Poles of both com­ panies began going down late Thurs­ day afternoon and continued l§tc in­ to the night as the wet snow froze to the wires, piling up a tremendous weight which proved too much for their support. At the local telephone office it was reported that more than 150 poles were down in the Nashville and Ver­ montville exchanges, with twelve par­ ty lines and nine private lines out of commission. Toll lines to Hastings were out also. Hastings was com­ pletely marooned so far as telephone service was concerned, every toll line out of the city being down. Linemen have been busy continuously since Thursday and the service is beginning to resume normal operation. Electric current was cut off from Nashville about four o’clock' Thurs­ day afternoon when poles went down between here and Hastings. Before the storm had done its worst thirty poles were down and three crews worked throughout the night Thurs­ day in an effort to restore service which was again in effect Friday morning about 10.30. Coming early in the afternoon gave folks time to recondition lamps and candles for in­ doors, but inky blackness reigned without Mr. and Mr*. F. F.

Dan Cupid must have laid down on the job in Barry county last year, If figures compiled by the United States Department of Commerce, mean anything. Weddings in 1928 took a tumble from the number re­ corded in 1927. In 1927 there were 162 marriages' in the county, .while in 1928 only 134 entered the stage of marital happiness—or otherwise. Not only did .Dan Cupid get be­ hind, but his arch enemy, the divorce court, made a gain. In 1927 there were only 36 divorces in the county while in 1928 40 couples succeeded m legally disentangling their alliances. In addition to the divorces there was one annulment in 1928'. In Eaton county marriages also fell off in 1928, but divorces dropped In number also. In 1927 there were 199 marriages and in 1928 there were 195. 1927 divorces numbered 53 and in 1928 there were 50. with one annulment in both 1927 and 1928. There were 37,300 marriages per­ formed in Michigan in 1928,- as com­ pared with 36,276 in 1927, represent­ ing an increase of 1,024,' or 2.8 per cent. In 1916 there were 40,112 mar­ riages reported. During the year 1928 there were 10,533 divorces granted in the state, as compared with 10,525 in 1927, rep­ resenting an increase of 8 or onetenth of one per cent. In 1916, there were 5,327 divorces granted. There were 82 marriages annulled in 1928, as compared with 86 in 1927. The estimated population of the state of Michigan on July 1. 1928, was 4,591,000. and on July 1. 1927, 4,490.­ 000. On the basis of these estimates, the number of marriages per 1.000 of the population was 8.12 in 1928, as against 8.08 in 1927; and the num­ ber of divorces per 1,000 of the popu­ lation was 2.29 in 1928. as against 2.34 in 1927.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd F. Everts, State street, was the scene of a joyous affair on Sunday, May 5. The occasion was in commemora­ tion of their thirtieth wedding anni­ versary, which came as a complete surprise to the host and hostess. About eleven o’clock the autos be­ gan to arrive, loaded to fullest capa­ city with friends, relatives and din­ ner baskets. To'say the "honored guests" were surprised is putting it lightly, but they soon recovered from the shpek and heartily entered into the pleas­ ures in store for them. Mrs. Everts was about to prepare the Sunday dinner, assisted by her younger daughter, Lovisa, who ur­ gently Insisted that a goodly supply be cooked as she was nearly "starv­ ed" for some of "mother’s cooking" and not haring eateff for two days.

The Hartman mill tax bill is still a bone of contention in the Senate. having passed the House by a good majority. Unless the Senate takes action on this bill, the proposed re­ habilitatlon program for state instltutions will go by the board, which would undoubtedly mean that the legialature would be called back in special session. The mortgage bill which cuts down the redemption period to three months following sale of the property haa passed the House and is now tn the hand of the Senate. Another bill which went through the House is one prohibiting the cropping or trimming of dogs' ears. This bill aroused a great amount of discussion in which Bep. Chas. H. Reed had a major part. In fact he talked so long that his seat mate, Rep. Alex. Cuthberson fell asleep and topped from his chair, amid tremendous excitement. Many outside the building' thought there had been an earthquake, but the author of. the famous liquor bill sustained no serious injury. Wednesday next at 4 o'clock has been definitely set as the time for ad­ journment and thfere is apparently nothing to prevent the great event being pulled off according to pro­ gram. Legislators are having their boxes packed with all their leglslative belongings and are happy in anlicipation of the end of the long grind Much remains to be done, but al! House bills have notv gone to the Sen­ ate and bills from the upper house are now all that is oh the calendar of the solons of the lower house, and vice versa, so it seems that without a superabundance of oratory everything' important should be wiped off the alate before the final hour arrives.

H. KLEINHANS Grand Crashes Through Wall of Building-Cistern. ANSWERS FINAL CALL SUNDAY P.M. HAD BEEN IN BUSINESS FORTYTHREE YEARS IN NASHVILLE. COMING HERE IN 1886. A large Grand Rapids truck on Tuesday crashed through the wall at the rear of Gail Lykins machine shop, and in so doing caved in the wall and part of the covering of a large cis­ tern, used prior to water-works in­ stallation for fire fighting. The front end of the truck came near getting a bath in the water of the •cistern and it was three hours before workmen were able to extricate it. The cistern is located at the edge of the alley way, and vehicles pass near enough to it to cause the wall to give way. Death again entered the ranks of Nashville's pioneer business men when William Henry Kleinhans an­ swered the call of the grim reaper at 12:30 Sunday afternoon. May 11, 1929. Mr. Kleinhans had been in business in Nashville for forty three years, coming here in 1886, and pur­ chasing the dry goods business which has since been conducted by him un­ til about a year ago when illness forced him to relinquish his active du­ ties at the store and his son, Clift, as­ sumed the management.

EATON COUNTY LADIES VISIT MODEL KITCHENS ON ACHIEVENENT DAY WILLIAM HENRY KLEINHANS The Achievement Day for the Home Management classes of Eaton county was held Tuesday, May 14, 1929. It took the form of a kitchen tour. Forty-two cars well-loaded with the members of the different classes made the tour. They met at Milletts, where they visited three kitchens remodelled on the plans worked out to the classes. Then to Grand Ledge, where a delicious din­ ner was served by the ladies of the Congregational church. A short business meeting was fol­ lowed by a program consisting of community singing, a talk by Miss Edna Smith, home economics special­ ist, and an inspirational address by Miss Roselind Jewett of East Lans­ ing. and a short talk by Hans Kardel, the county agent The tour then continued to the southern part of the county, where three more kitchens were inspected. Those from the West Kalamo home management class who made the tour were Mrs. Gilbert Dickinson. Mrs. W. Noyes, Mrs. Clayton Decker. Mrs. Had} Lewis, Mrs. T. J. Mason and daughter Dorothy, Mrs. Earl Tarbell. Mrs. Clyde Hamilton and Mrs. Fred Jordan. main until death relieved him of his suffering Sunday. He was aged al­ most 82 years. Mr. Kleinhans was born at Belve­ dere, N. J., June 2. 1847, a son of David and Elizabeth Kleinhans. His mother passed away when he was but six years of age and in the ensuing ten years the boy became engaged in various occupations helping make his own way. Among other jobs held in eastern cities was that of "cash boy" in the A. T. Stewart stores in New York city. At the age of 15 he came to Rochester. Mich. After a year there he went to Pontiac and accept­ ed a position in the McConnell dry goods store. Mr. Kleinhans remained with the Pontiac company from 1864 to 1886. when on March 20. he came to Nashville and purchased the Grif­ fith store. On October 27. 1889, Mr. Kleinhans was united to marriage to Miss Grace L. Clift, in Pontiac. One son was born to this union. Henry Clift Klein­ hans. of Nashville.

Taking a lead over Nashville’s high school nine, Woodland’s baseball team promised to administer a decided beating in the early Innings of their game here last Thursday afternoon. However, after the first two or three innings the local boys “found” the visitors’ pitcher and after that his curves — and they were curves — availed him nothing but several wellplaced hits for extra bases, and his wild pilches gave the locals a num­ ber of walks. All of which contrib­ uted to the final score of 7 to»6. At the opening of the game Wood­ land appeared a formidable opponent, leading Nashville by « score of 5 to 2 at the end of the second Inning. The locals seemed unable to fathom the wide curves of the visiting pitcher, and the visitors appeared to be hit­ ting Furlong almost at will. But later in the game, when the local boys started hitting. Woodland's pitcher "blew up" and Furlong settled down to a steady game, as did his support in the field, resulting in the shifting of positions when the final score was counted. Due. to inundated grounds, and rain throughout the day Tuesday, the game with Lake Odessa here was postponed. The next game to ap­ pear on the regular schedule is with Vermontville on May 24. here.

Mr. Wade was at that time a locomotive engineer on the C. B. & Q. railroad, and for a time lived at Atchison, Kansas. Later Mr. Wade quit railroading and they came to' Nashville, where for a time Mr. Wade conducted- a shoe store, and later was employed for 12 years in the Nash­ ville postoffice. Nine years ago Mr. and Mrs. Wade moved to Flint, where Mr. W. has since been employed to the Hubbard hardware store. During their many years’ residence In Nashville Mr. and Mrs. Wade made hosts of friends who will mourn the passing of the latter .''and extend heartfelt sympathy to' the bereaved husband. Mrs. Wade wqg a past chief of Nashville temple of the Py­ thian Sisters, a member of Laurel Chapter, O. E. S.. and while here- was an active worker in the Methodist church. The remains were brought to Nash­ ville yesterday and funeral services were held at the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. G. E. Wright. In­ terment was to the family lot at Lakeview. No woman ever lived in Nashvillo who had more or warmer friends than Mrs. Wade. No hand was ever outstretched to her .for aid without finding a ready response. A cheer­ ful and inspired worker in any good cause, ready at all times to serve where needed, in sickness or distress, she will be blessed and kindly remem­ bered by all who knew her. We are glad her mortal remains are to rest in Nashville, which was always “home” to her, and where her dear­ est friends remember her with love and reverence. Besides the stricken husband she leaves one son, Homer W. Wade of Thornapple lake, and three grand­ children.

YOUR VACATION. That vacation you are planning is just -like your puree. You can onlyget out of it what you put in iL Your week or month away from familiar scenes and duties should be as carefully planned as any part of the year’s work. Remember, you are going to vacate. That means to va­ cate the mind of its worries and obli­ gation.'-, to vacate the familiar tasks of the hands and feet, to vacate the work-a-day haunts of the year. If you live inland, visit the sea. If you live’near the coast, visit the moun­ tains. Get away from everything that is familiar, if you can. The place in which you decide to spend your vacation is not so import­ ant as the mood In which you decide to spend iL Two people start out on ' their vacations. Both go to the same place, traveling over the same route, and stay the same length of time. One will have a splendid time, meet charming people. enjoy beautiful weather and find fun in every crowd­ ed minute.

The final action of Senate and House removed the proposition for a mill tax ,as proposed in the Hartman bill, changing it to direct appropria­ tions. The bill as passed by both houses calls for an institutional tax of $6,040,000 for 1930; $3,880,000 of which is for hospital purposes, and the 1931 figures total $5,717,300. of which $4,287300 is for hospital pur­ poses. The figures for 1932 and 1933 are still higher, being $7,429,500 for 1932 and $7,840,500 for 1933, but of course these figures may be changed by the next legislature. The only call of the House for this session was made on this bill, on the demand of Representative Gus Hart­ man. author of the bill. The call brought in, however, not more than half a dozen members .who were out­ side the bar of the House when the measure came up for final action, and the vote on the bill, concurring in amendments made in the Senate af­ ter a report of a conference commit­ tee, was 75 for the bill to 17 against.

Governor Green remains silent as to his plans for the future but It is not likely be will stand for a third Fred Ming of Cheboygan, the most efficient speaker of the House for many years, is spoken of as a most likely aspirant for gubernatorial hon­ ors. He would have many warm sup­ porters from among the members of the legislature. Other possible can­ didates are Charles DeLand, John S. Haggerty, Wilbur Brucker, and of course Luren Dickinson. Senator Chas. S. Sink of Ann Arbor Is seriously mentioned as a candidate for lieutenant governor. He has had many years of legislative experience in both houses and has many friends in political circles. Senator Wm. F. Turner of Morley is prominently mentioned as a candi­ date for state treasurer. Representative Geo. C. Watson of Capac, who has been a most efficient chairman of the judiciary committee of the House for several years, will very likely be a candidate for attorn­ ey general.

Present plans call for a part time county scoutmaster, who has been especially trained for this work, to share his time within four counties. He will spend one week of each month within each of these counties and Barry will have his serviees for an equal length of time. If present plans materialize, and those in charge of the movement are sure of its success, Mr. Kiumph will be the executive in charge of the county work. Further information will be given out with regahi to the plan as the work continues.

Memorial day in Nashville will be fittingly observed by students of the local schools when, at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, they will give a pageant depicting four periods of development in the life of our country, commenc­ ing with the settlement period and bringing it down to date with a tri­ bute to war veterans. The pageant, which is under the di­ rection of teachers in the school, will be held on the south hillside in Put­ nam park. Special arrangements are being made to accommodate a large crowd at the park and it is hoped the public will take advantage of this op­ portunity to see the school students in action. The first episode in the pageant, the subject of which ' is "America’s Tri­ bute ’. will be "Settling of America SLEIGH RIDES IN NASHVILLE ON and Early Colonial History" The MAY 30, 1890, RECALLED BY second is "Pioneers."

Not merely do strangers find it hard to make friends, but old-time residents will not speak to each other. People may meet each other on the street for years and never give any sign of rec­ ognition. They know each other per­ fectly, and would like to get ac­ quainted. but they have not been in­ troduced. Those unbending people may be charming in their circles and full of kind thefughts toward others. Their attitude does not necessarily ’ mean that they are proud. It frequently they Will be considered forthputting if they disregard strict etiquet. A town where this spirit exists has a cold pall of distance btiffing its peo­ ple. Tney can not form friendships they need for their own welfare and the development of the community. People get false ideas of each other ana look on each other as haughty. They draw back In their own little shells, and no neighborly spirit is de­ veloped. It is a good rule here in Nashville when two men or two women have met each other enough so they know each other by sight to get acquainted. As isolated strangers they are an ob­ stacle to the unity of the city. When they get to know each other, and dis­ cuss their common interests, they be­ come good neighbors and a force for community progress. • IN MEMOR1AM. By custom and appointment, a day is set apart in memory of the brave dead and in acknowledgment of their enduring service to the living. In this trioute our thoughts and hearts have __ _______ _ »e peace of the present and that the strife of causes and convictions now scarce remem­ bered bears fruit today in the great­ ness of a nation. At the same time our hearts recall the sacrifice of those who died in war for a victory they would not see. It is not the nature of heroes to look ahead to the gratitude of pros­ perity. Nor do those who have play­ ed their gallant part in history now need our praise or tribute. It is our­ selves who need the day of observ­ ance. with its brief recall of how hardly has been won our present peace and prosperity. It is for our own sake that we confess again that in u. great cause men will fight and die. It is in acknowledgment of our country's right to our strength and devotion that we salute those who haw served her without stint or JU, MUL MUV aboard.

However, a large number of local base ball fans drove down to the county seat to see the ruins. You know Spaulding made base ball bats, croquet sets and lawn tennis rackets. I never saw so many ball bats around town as followed that fire. They were so numerous that many a housewife used one to lift her washing out of the wash boiler. For a while the cook at the Wolcott house used one to knock a home run out of the beefsteak. Ev­ ery housewife pounded the beefsteak those days and then cooked it so hard it tasted like a slice of the “home plate”, and so heavy it couldn't even swim in the large puddle of gravy that always accompanied it. There must have been some croquet fans along too, as many a set .was aug­ mented by another litter of newly Spaulding was a friend ' to aU the sport fans. Those were the base ball days of Anson.

This Bar­ ry county boy helped Detroit to win the pennant in 1886, I believe. Those were the days when you could call for a high or a low ball; and you took your base on seven balls. Yes, and they had a “tick” catcher that stood hark of the regular catcher—while the pitcher was ten feet farther away from the home plate than he is now. And by the way. "Lady Baldwin” had such speed he could pitch from second base. Nashville had some very good base ball timber. I recall a game where Dave Fitzgerald was the local pitch­ er, and Jake Heckathorn was behind the bat. Jas. Scheldt, brother of Char­ ley Scheldt, was a newcomer from Kutztown, Pa Jim couldn't handle the English in those days as well as he could a ball bat. He was a regular Babe Ruth in the matter of home runs. The rules that permitted of the calling for a high or low ball had just been changed but Jim didn't know it And for that matter, no one on the local team knew IL I can’t recall who was pitching for Hastings, but it strikes me it was young Os­ born. who later became one of the most skilful physicians in the county. Jim called for a "high pall," which meant between the hip and the shoulder. But to his consternation, every ball that cuts the plate was called a strike by the umpire. Final­ ly Jim got his Dutch up and said he could lick the umpire and the whole Hastings nine—and I think he could. The game was halted until Jim could explain what it was all about A ♦>ook of rules for that year was con­ sulted and it was found that the high and low ball didn't go any more. It put a big crimp in Jim's batting, as he had to have a "High Pall" to bring in a home run. I wish co say that I am of the opin­ ion that Himie Wai rath was the first local ball player to pitch a curved ball—a wide out curve. Clyde W. Francis.

With the assistance of Boy Scouts soldiers’ graves wex e decorated with flags and wreaths as a part of the ceremony. About twelve Legion men. under the direction of Theodore Reed,- commander, were in attend­ ance. Several folks from Nashville were also in attendance. The service at Lakeview was a part of a county-wide program of Memorial Day observance, the Legion members calling at every cemetery in the county where World War veterans are buried, and holding the short me­ morial service. * ’Tts said that clothes do not make the man, but clothes played an im­ portant part in making the "women" at the "Womanless Wedding" which was presented by some seventy-five men Monday and Tuesday evenings, under the auspices of Laurel Chapter.

EDITH PURCHIS AND JOSEPH MIX ENTERTAIN IN PUBLIC PERFORMANCE. The recital given by the pupils of Mrs. Edith Purchis and Mr. Joseph Mix. on Monday and Tuesday even­ ings proved a very successful affair. The pupils show the work and pa­ tience of worthy teachers and large and appreciative audiences enjoyed the programs. The orchestra received much fav­ orable comment from all who heard it. and bespoke the ability of Mr. Mix as an organizer and conductor. Mrs. Purchis has made a lasting imprint on the • music of this com­ munity in the years of her teaching, and the present class shows the re­ sult of her best efforts. The begin­ ners reflect her earnestness and am­ bition. and the more advanced pu­ pils show the polish of efficient in­ struction. Nashville may well be proud of Mr. Joseph Mix. one of our own boys. His pupils proved that he is painstaking and thorough in his Instruction. Mr. Mix's performance shows aptitude and knowledge of his chosen profes­ sion. and his continued study assures complete mastery of the art. A waltz of his own composition, played by Kenneth Bivens, as a saxophone solo, bespeaks for him a future in that line. Joe’s energy and ambition are apparent in the fact that while instructing a large class in violin, he leads an orchestra, tunes pianos, and is continuing his high school course. Which he left a few years since, to pursue musical studies. Upon com­ pletion of this work he expects to en­ ter a school of music and much may be expected in the way of success for him. Septic Tanks Solve Farm Waste Problem SEWAGE DISPOSAL IS EASY* WITH SIMPLE SYSTEM DE­ SIGNED FOR RURAL HOMES. Sewage and household wastes from farm, houses are efficiently taken care of by the septic tank which was de­ signed by members of the agricultural engineering department at Michigan State College who will install them in many Michigan counties this year in order that farmers can see just how they are constructed. Tanks of this type have given sat­ isfactory service in cases where they have been installed for a period of 10 years or more. The installation cost is nominal, and they require practi­ cally no attention after they are once in operation. The tanks which will be placed on Michigan farms this summer by the agricultural engineering department will be built with take-down forms which can be removed and used in the construction of other septic tanks. The county agricultural agents in each of the counties are making local a: rangements for the building demon­ strations and the agents will have charge of the tank forms so that any farmer can obtain them after the demonstration. Upper Peninsula counties where tanka will be built are Chippewa, Schoolcraft, Delta, Menominee. Dick­ inson, Iron, Gogebic, Ontonagon, Claud Sanford, a brakeman on the Michigan Central, making a run be­ tween Grand Rapids and Hastings, was fatally injured Saturday morning when he fell between two moving freight cars and his right leg terri­ bly mangled as well as other injuries about the other leg and body. Mr. Sanford, who was 43, was said to have been lightening the brake on one of the cars when the brake chain broke causing him to lose his balance and fail between the cars. He was drag­ ged about 30 feet before the train was brough to a stop. He was im­ mediately taken to Pennock hospital where his condition was considered so severe that no operation or amputa­ tion was considered advisable, al­ though his wife summoned from Grand Rapids, gave a blood transfu­ sion tn a last effort to save his life. However the injured man passed away Saturday afternoon, and the body was shipped to Grand Rapids for burial. Beside the widow Mr. San­ ford leaves seven children. JOHN W.

This season marks the 47th anni­ versary for the Mighty Haag Shows. Forty-seven years is a long time, but in that period never once has the cir­ cus missed a season. Into every town in the-U. S. A. it has carried its ple­ thora of good things, which for one day. at least, drive dull care away. Today, of course, circuses are tre­ mendous things that people often wish were smaller, so they could see it all. The Mighty Haag Shows have kept this very thing in mind and are just large enough so that ev­ eryone sitting anywhere beneath the big tent can see and enjoy everything. This season's program opens with a spectacular pageant titled “A Night in Asia.” Over 100 people take part Ln this unusual display which brings into view gorgeous gown creations and costumes from all four corners of the globe. Another note-worthy feature on the two and one-half hour program this season is the equestrian acta, introducing trained horses that do ali the latest ballroom steps. And of course clowns.

Fill C. M. T. C. Camps Making Efforts to The state department of the Amer­ ican Legion and the Michigan De­ partment. Veterans of Foreign Wars are both making splendid efforts to enroll Michigan's quota for the Citi­ zens' Military Training Camps at Camp Custer and Fort Brady. Both of these veteran organizations, be­ lieving that an adequate preparedness will keep the United States out of future wars, are urging their individ­ ual members to enroll young men in their communities for the C. M. T. C. Michigan’s quota for the C. M. T. C. this summer is 1.750. but this state can enroll 2,000. but all applications received after the 1.750 have been ac­ cepted will be enrolled as alternates and wilk only go to camp in case some of the originals find it impossible to attend the camp. Michigan up to last Monday en­ rolled a total of 1,098 young men. Of this number 341 were enrolled in Wayne county. There are 11 coun­ ties' in the state that have not en­ rolled anyone. They are: Alcona. Ar­ There is no “applesauce” You might say that all this talk about “cheap” paint is just “store talk.” Perhaps you want some absolute proof. We don’t like to take B chances on making statements we can’t prove: bo here is a true piece of evidence. Mr. Harry Bailey—and that is his real name—came into a certain “Paint Head quar■ j ters” store to buy paint for his two-story p*i"* r°” house. His painter had told him he would need from ten to twelve gallons of paint. After “Paint Headquarters” had figured on the job, be was given eight gallons of good old SWP Gloss White in addition to the trimmer he would need. Here is the part of the story that will back up our claims: A few days later Mr. Bailey returned with two gallons of that Gloss White that he did not use, also a quart of paint he had left from his porch ceiling. He had some trimmer left, too, but did not return it because he had opened it. Six gallons of SWP gave that two-story house two coats, and Mr. Bailey says it’s the best looking paint job be has seen in many a day. He adds that when the first coat went on, the houae looked better than a lot of two-coat jobs he had seen. Mr. Bailey not only has a paint job that will be good when a “cheap” paint job is gone and forgotten about, but he actually painted his house for less money in dollars and cents than he could have, had he used “cheap” paint. Let us help you save money Mr. Bailey bought SWP because it was a money-saving propo­ sition for him. Remember that what SWP did for him, it will do for you. No “cheap” paint product, varnish, or lacquer is ever economical. When you are ready to paint, either inside or out, consult us. Our estimates on material will show you how to save money on the job.

IS MESSAGE TO 26 GRADUATES PAGEANT OF PROGRESS WAS PLEASINGEVENT. REV. A. L. BINGAMAN OF EVAN­ GELICAL CHURCH, DELIVERS BACCALAUREATE ON SUNDAY EVENING. LARGE CROWD WITNESSED THE STAGING OF PAST EVENTS AN MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM. Characterization of commencement as one of the most outstanding events in the lives of folks. Rev. A. L. Bing­ aman, pastor of the Evangelical church, on Sunday evening, address­ ed himself specifically to the gradua­ tion class in remarks preceding his delivery of the baccalaureate sermon in the Methodist church. Rev. Bing­ aman congratulated the class of twen­ ty-six on their completion of a local high school education, and added his wish for successful careers in what­ ever vocation they choose to make their life's work. Taking for his theme "Going For­ ward", Rev. Bingaman delivered a sermon based on God's command to Moses when the latter was leading His people out of bondage. Upon reaching the Red Sea the Israelites thought it necessary to turn to the right or the left but God's command to Moses was to "Go Forward,” and Rev Bingaman used these words for his text, reading from .the fourteenth chapter of Exodus. Summing up his remarks with a word picture of the benefits to be obtained from "going forward" the minister imparted a valuable lesson which should prove beneficial to the graduates throughout the balance of their lives. Splendid music by the choir pre­ ceded the sermon. "Sing Alleluia Forth", was sung by the choral group, and R. V. McNitt and Mrs. F. K. Nel­ son sang "I Waited for the Lord.” Rev. Lyman Brough, pastor of the Nazarene church, led the audience in prayer, and Rev. G. E. Wright of the Methodist church, presided during the service. ‘ The church was filled to capacity with parents and friends of the grad­ uating class. Grading machinery and gangs of men are'at work on the improvement of the Kalamo-Maple Grove covert road, work starting Tuesday morning. According to Johnson A Green, con­ tractors of Ann Arbor, who are doing the work, the highway will have a 24-foot grade and 12-feet of gravel when completed. Grading operations are expected to be finished by die middle of August and the graveling prouably will be finished by Sept. 1. At the present time a steam shovel, several trucks, and a bridge gang are at work. Another grading outfit will be added in a few days, and two mix­ ing outfits will be on the job­ According to Lyman Johnson who is superintending the work, 7000 yards of dirt will be moved weekly by the steam shovels and trucks. Johnson A Green are former resi­ dents of Barry county, having lived in Hastings some twenty years ago, and have been doing highway con­ struction all over the state since that time. They will have approximately six miles of highway to improve in the job south of town. IT WAVE SENIORS WILL FINISH LOCAL SCHOOL THURS.

POOR SHOOTING AND BRUISED SHOULDERS LIVE IN MEMOR­ IES OF SHOOTIN’ IRON EN­ THUSIASTS. At least a large percentage of the rabbits, pheasants, and other game which may come within the range of Nashville hunters next fall will be Crfectly safe unless the gun enthusits around this man's town improve their marksmanship between now and then. That is, if last Thursday's shooting by members of the gun club is any indication of the results which will be obtained on the hunting grounds next fall and winter. Im­ mediate results were: Loss of the high score trophy to an Eaton Rapids man; poor shooting by the majority of the marksmen; bruised shoulders on most of them; but a lot of fun for all of them. Dr. Merle Vance of Eaton Rapids, walked away with the high score tro­ phy. Dr. Vance broke 18 out of 25 •'birds”. However he won by only one eit, several of the local shooters aking 17 out of 25. Among them were J. L. Prescott, and C. O. Mason. The trophy for low score stayed at home, though, Dr. E. T. Morris suffer­ ing all the hard luck there was. He scored two. A high wind, coupled with some trick operating of the trap, caused a lot of difficult shots, making it al­ most impossible to "get onto” the bird before it was out of range or out of sight entirely. J. L. Prescott ranked next to Dr. Morris when it comes to hard luck. Everybody expected the prof to walk away with all the honors. Being the most enthusiastic gunman among the club he organized, its president and general manager, be-should have won first honors. But “someone" unloaded some of the professor’s shells and he just naturally couldn't break pigeons with blanks. At that he broke 17 with only 16 good shells. And he nev­ er offered an alibi. With an ideal day. in an ideal set­ ting-, pupils of the local school on Thursday forenoon, exhibited one of the prettiest displays of "American Tribute*' ever witnessed here in a Memorial Day program. The audi­ ence, which numbered hundreds of parents and friends of those partici­ pating, grouped around the base 4f the hill In Putnam Park, while the various scenes of America's progress from pioneer days took place on the hillside and lower level of the in­ cline. Appearing in costume, and with ap­ propriate music, both instrumental and vocal to accompany them, the students celebrated the occasion with drills, pantomime and story of the American Indians, the coming of the Puritans with their singing of relig­ ious hymns, the Colonial period with its Betsy' Ross and George Washing­ ton. Pioneers of the old frontier days, represented by the fifth and sixth graders were there. Labelers, repre­ sented by students of th;; same grad­ es were also in evidenceS-«£tvtl war veterans with the patriotic accompan­ iment of their day made their ap­ pearance, while little folks in cos­ tume drilled in their honor. And then a peace convention with -epresentatives of foreign nations in their places made their appearance, while others sang of peace. Then came the little tots singing "Many Flags From Many Lands.” with ap­ propriate drilling. Following this the Colonials ascended the hillside and when near the top made a "Betsy Ross" flag out of strips of red, white and blue,cloth, presenting a beautiful and impressive appearance to the au­ dience below which cheered its ap­ proval. Singing of the Star Spang­ led Banner by the whole assemblage closed the program. Much credit is due teachers of the local school for the patient, efficient instruction necessary to stage the Memorial Day program which was so thoroughly enjoyed by all present Different from tbe usual program of speaking on the occasion of Memorial day. the event proved equally effec­ tive. was entertaining and instructive, and appealed to a far greater crowd of folks than is usually the case with the customary program. In the afternoon large numbers of folks visited cemeteries where graves were decorated with flowers, wreaths and flags. Roof Fires Caused Two Runs By Dept.

K. 4 S. R. R. and the M. C. R. R. in Barry coun­ ty the week of July 8th» This car commonly known as the Agricultural Demonstration Car will be completely equipped for soil test­ ing and will also contain exhibits of pictures, charts, liming materials and fertilizers for the benefit of BarryCounty farmers. The New York Central Lines have operated three Soil Fertility Trains covering all but this territory in pre­ vious years and they have always met with great approval. The Soils Department of the Michi­ gan State College is co-operating in this project and will furnish the soil experts, the exhibits and the informa­ tion given out from the Train. The car will make half day stops at every point on the C. K. 4 8. Rail­ road and two or three stops on the Michigan Central. At each ’ stop the farmers will be asked to bring in samples of soil for testing and examination and after go­ ing over the entire system of farming followed by the individual farmer, he will be given a written prescription by the “Soil Doctors" to cure the ills of his soil. County Agent Rood is co-operating in this project and will handle all lo­ cal details. The complete schedules will be announced in a week or two.

Her hair had fallen all over her face, and was streaming down her back. Her small white hand was clenched and up­ raised, and her straight, supple figure, pantLer-like in its grace, was distend­ ed until she towered over the little shrunken form before her. Terrible was the gleam to her eyes, and ter­ rible the fixed rigidity of her features. Yet she was as beautiful as a young goddess In her wrath. ’ "No!” she cried fiercely, “the Order shall not die! You belong to it still; and I—I, too, swear the oath of ven­ geance! Together we will hunt her down—this woman! She shall suffer," "She shall die!” he cried. A slight shudder passed across the girl's face, but she repeated his words. “She shall die! But, uncle, you are ill. What is it?” She chafed his hands and held him up. He had fainted. "Where am I, Margharita?" . She leaned over him. and drew a long deep breath of relief. It was the reward of many weary days and nights of constant watching and care­ ful nursing. His reason was saved. “In your own room at the hotel," she whispered. Don’t you remem­ ber? You were taken ill." He looked at her, helpless and puzz­ led. Slowly the mists began to roll "Yea, you were with me," he mur­ mured softly. "I remember now. I was telling you the story of the past —my past. You are Margharita's child. Yet. I remember. Was it this afternoon?" . She kissed his forehead, and then drew back suddenly, lest th^warm tear which was quivering on her eye­ lid should fall back upon his face. "It was three weeks ago!” "Three weeks ago!” He looked wonderingly around — at the little table at his side, where a huge bowl of sweet-scented roses was surround­ ed by a little army of empty medicine bottles, at Margharita's pale wan face and at a couch drawn up to the bed- BUSINESS DIRECTORY Methodist Episcopal Church.

For a fortnight his life had bung upon a thread, and even when the doctor bad declared him out of dan­ ger, the question of his sanity or in­ sanity quivered upon the balance of another week.

Her mother was a dear friend of mine many years ago, and I told Marghar­ ita from the first that I would rather have her here as my daughter. She would have been very welcome to a home with us. It was only her pride which made her insist upon coming as Grade’s governess, and I suppose it is the same feeling which prompts her to keep herself so much aloof from us.

We, the class of 1929, welcome you to our class night. We extend our welcome both to the parents, who have sacrificed so much that we might continue our education and to the many relatives and friends present who have encouraged us in many ways. In times past perhaps, we have seemed ungrateful to qur narents for all that they have done for us, but tonight we are unanimously appre­ ciative of the privilege that is ourj. We are both happy and proud that we are able to say to you that we have successfully completed our high school education. ' — To the teachers we e. tend our most grateful thanks. It is through their careful and helpful instruction that we have gained the knowledge neces­ sary for graduation. W’thout their help we could never haie acrieved this goal. However it is not a fina’ goal nut merely a starting point from wh’ch we go forth in an attempt to reflect credit upon our parents, our teachers, and our school. When we slop to think that in a few short days we shall be alumni of Nashville high school, instead of stu­ dents. it brings a thought of sadness for we have truly enjoyed our school life.. Many happy times have we bad together. Many friendships have we established, and we do not intend to let these die out. It is by means of these friendships that we hope t J hold the class together and to keep it loy­ al to our Alma Mater. We feel that we have made a cred‘ta-le record both tn acartrinie work and in athletics, and it is with this record in mind that we say once more that the class of 1929 is both happy and proud to welcome you. VALEDICTORY. By Russell K. Mead. Parents, teachers, friends and class­ mates, in two more days we the class of ’29 will have completed our high school course. As we venture out into the world. I am sure’ the pleasant memories of thesi days will ever linger with us. This occasion, the passing out of high school, is both a sad and a glad one. It is a sad one in that the friendshipis we have made, and the many pleasant days we have spent together, will nev­ er again have quite the same famil­ iarity. It is a glad occasion in that we have reached that goal for which we have been striving these four years. This occasion also brings to an end a period of study which will surely be of some advantage co as Ln later life These days we have spent togeth­ er are now a thing of tne past, and as we embark on life's sea, we hope to take those paths which will best suit our individual needs. After one has attended school for a number nf years, he finds that he has a place to fill in the world, and that he also has definite faculties and powers which if propertly developed will aid him in obtaining that place. These four years of high school as well as our elementary training have been spent in preparing us for the (continued on page 5.) at Home Here Saturday Funeral services were held at the Evangelical church Tuesday afternoon for Mrs. Cora Belle Cole, who passed away at her home here Saturday af­ ternoon at 1:20 o'clock.

Fishing Season Opens Sunday, June 16th. With the opening of inland lake fishing bn June 16th, but a few days off. fishermen are reminded that it is neither good sportsmanship nor good sense to ignore the fish refuge signs placed on the spawning beds of the bass and blue gills. These signs have been placed on these areas to protect the adult fish over that period of timt when the schools of young fish re­ quire parental care. No good sports­ man needs to be reminded of tb‘s fact as the benefits to be derived are ob­ vious. This season the refuge pum is be­ ing tried out in an experimental man­ ner. Another season it may be a dif­ ferent story as the new fish law which goes into effect on August 28 of this year reads in section 2, "The Director of Conservation is hereby authorized to extend the closed sea­ son on any spawning bed when It shall appear that spawning or guard­ ing is delayed beyond the time of the closed season provided by law. No­ tices defining the closed areas must be posted not less than five days prior to taking effect For the pur­ pose of this act a spawning bed shall be defined as any section of a lake, river, pond or other body of w’ater where fish are known to congregate for the purpose of spawning.” MORG ENTHALER- KINNE.

In the glowing embers of the Edmonton, Alta.—No longer will the midnight sun reign supreme tn tite far reaches of the Arctic circle, ac­ cording to word reaching here from officers of the Canadian Royal Mount­ ed police whose duty it la to patrol that territo'ry. The story told illustrates the ad­ vance of modernism. The icy igloo assodated with the Eskimo has gone. The kayak is still used for traveling on the water for short distances but gasoline motors and sturdier boats are also used. The marriage customs remain practically the* same, but the exchange of wives is rapidly passing into the limbo of forgotten things. More than all this, however, is the forsaking of the old seal-oil lamp for electricity. ■* According to the Mountles, Pavoo Pollak, Eskimo, whose home is up near Akalvlk. within the Arctic circle, came out as far as a mission post There he saw a lighting plant similar to those used on farms, in operation. He inquired the price. With the proceeds of bls trapping and fishing he found he had sufficient cash to purchase one and did. Loading it on sleighs he started back to his shack home, miles away. All the way he thought of the superior position the possession of such magic would-give him,1 and the way seemed short Arriving at his home he in­ stalled the plant according to direc­ tions and issued invitations to a house warming. * Eskimos from miles around came and when they were assembled Pavoo turned a switch. Shouts of surprise resounded as the bulbs burst Into light. The guests were astounded. Pavoo allowed them how the switches worked, nnd then, one after the other, the visitors turned lights off and on. This lasted for hours until Pavoo had fed them all and sent them home. Hypnosis Shows Anxiety Plays Havoc With Body Atlanta, Ga.—New evidence that anxiety can play havoc with the body no less’than with the mind has been obtained by use of hypnosis. The tests were made by Dr. J. C. Whitehorn, Dr. Helge Lundbolm and G. E. Gard­ ner of McLean hospital, Waverley, Mass., and were reported before the American Psychiatric association here. The experiments indicate that when an individual becomes extremely anx­ ious and fearful his body engine may race like a motor under pressure and strain. On the other hand, moods of depression, elation, or irritability do not appear to produce any certain increase In the metabolic rate, that is, the rate at which the body engine converts food into tissues and energy. Obtaining data on boflily processes during an emotional state Is difficult because an excited Individual is not likely to remain sufficiently quiet to permit the making of accurate tests with apparatus. A psychologist who consented to be hypnotized was used for the tests'.

Our flag is a symbol of all that is good and great in our national life. One hundred and fifty-one years have come and gone since thia national em­ blem was unfurled before a people seeking equal opportunities and liber­ ation from a foreign power. It re­ flects the gloiy of the past and the hope of the future. It is not only the flag of our fathers but it la the flag of our children and the flag of generations ^ret to come. It is Indeed fitting that a day should be set aside on which to place unusual emphasis upon the ideals which our flag represents. By virtue of the authority vested in mt* as Governor of the State of Michigan, I hereby proclaim Friday. June 14, 1929, as Flag Day and urge that the flag be displayed wherever possible and that schools and other organizations conduct exercises In an effort to Instill into the hearts and minds of the rising generation the proper respect for the emblem of our national life. » Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State this sixth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twentynine. and of the Commonwealth the ninety-third.

Potentate Has Plane Ride and Enjoys It. Washington.—The sultan of Sulu, one of the few Filipino potentates still ruling under the protection of the United States, has liecome air minded. According to advices reaching the War department, the sultan was taken on his first airplane ride recently In an army machine and liked It. ■ A few years ago tribesmen In the Philippines were overcome with fear when the "giant birds" of the army soared overhead. They could not un­ derstand the roaring machines driven by army airmen on cross-country flights across the Island nnd often the planes spread .fear and consternation. Then the sultan of Sulu visited Ma­ nila. He was invited for a short flight. CapL Donald Wilson piloted the sul­ tan 5.000 feet above the city. The potentate’s retinue waited with quaking hearts until the sultan landed safely and grinning over his novel ex­ perience. In short excited sentences he explained the sensations of flying to his Hides. They Immediately be­ sieged the army flyers to be tnken up. The pilots obligingly consented and others In the sultan’s staff learned of the Joys of soaring through bound­ less spaces far above the earth. News of their flights spread end the presldente of Bontoc expressed the desire for a short hop. Other members of the non-Cbrlstlan tribes of the Philip­ pine archlpelngo were flown and the news spread still further until the army air corps station in the Islandwas flooded with requests for flights Ln the "giant birds." Sheer Nece«iity Force. Out­ lawry of Style. Moscow.—In the Soviet capital, at least, clothes do uot make the man; nor the woman, for that matter. Style is among the antiquated "bourgeois" notion* thrown Into discard by the Bolshevik revolution. . Sheer necessity—the lack of textile* and of cash—had more to do with out­ lawing style than did Communist prin­ ciples. In the bitter year* of civil strife nnd famine people were happy enough to have their Ixxlies covered without bothering about the cut or col­ oF of the covering. While* conditions are Incomparably better, those who can afford to worry about the hang of their trousers or their skirt* are still a small minority. Many men, of course, threw off the yoke of a tailored Jacket for the free­ dom of a peasant blouse out of revo­ lutionary nrdor; but the overwhelming majority did so because their jackets hud fallen to piece* and they could not buy n now one. Th* Russian Flapper. A generation of Russian girls adopt­ ed rough boyish attire and scoffed at female finery. One may be pardoned for guessing, however, that many of them were'making a virtue of neces sity. Certainly the first sign of easier economic condition* here, a* in the .rest qf the world,' was the betterdressed young woman. The Russian “flapper"—n boy's cap pulled rakish­ ly over her close-cropped head and a man’s overcoat ©ver her nondescript dress—I* definitely on the decline. Between poverty and principle, how­ ever, style has' fared badly enough. Anything but stark nakedness (and the rigors of Russian climate discour­ age that) passes muster. Moscow un­ doubtedly holds the world record for diversity of costume. TIh» queerest sartorial combinations will attract not the slightest attention on Moscow streets. The most grotesque patch work passes unnoticed. . Can’t Judn* by Clothe*. Another, result of the discarding of style Is that one can no longer Judge anyone's>soclal status from his or her clothes. The fellow you bump Into on the stairway may be the commls sar or the humblest of hl* clerks—you can’t tell from his apparel. Tndeeti, If he shows a tendency toward* elegant European dress he Is most likely to be the clerk. Foreigners who have visited Moscow over a period of years agree that In genera’ people here are enormously better dressed than a few years ago. although the standard Is still far be­ low western Europe, or even a city like Warsaw. Smartly dressed women are more In evidence and the popular-’ Ity of “Modes." a pitiful little maga­ zine devoted to the Paris fashions, may be a sign of the times. Fruit Growers Profit From Europe’s Winter Lindsay, Calif.—The “It's an ill wind—" adage was borne out literally In Europe this yer. with California orange growers reaping lhe lienetlt of the suffering of European growers. The most severe European winter In 230 years caused great damage to the Spanish citrus crop, next largest In the world to that of California. One result was that the California Fruit Growers’ exchange Ims jilready moved Its first shipload of oranges to Europe, docking In London the latter part of April. C«’( tiers are belne loaded, nnd before the season ends it Is .estimated California citrus growers will have benefited to the extent of marketing 2.500 airloads of their product that never would have been able to compete with European grow era under ordinary circumstances. The extra market proved extremely fortuitous to California growers, bur­ dened with an unusually large Valen­ cia crop. It Is estimated more than 1,000,000 boxes of oranges will go to Europe this season nt prices that will net the grower from K! to $4 o box. New Hampshire Man Has Wagon 113 Years Old Franklin, N.

Fruit Heavily Damaged By Late Frosts in Mich. Michigan’^ winter and spring sown grain crops were all below average Ln condition on June first this year ac­ cording to the crop report issued to­ day by Herbert E. Powell, commis­ sioner of agriculture and Verne H. Church, agricultural statistician for Michigan. On this date winter wheat was really in the best condition of any of the grain crops despite the fact that its condition declined three per cent during May to 79 per cent of normal, which compares with 80.6 per •cent for the ten-year average condi­ tion on June 1. On the basis of this condition the Michigan winter wheat crop forecast is now 14.896,000 bush­ els, or slightly more than the final es­ timate last year. Michigan rye had a condition of-81 per cent of normal on June 1, and the production forecast was 2,138,000 bushels which is less than the final 1928 crop. Oat seeding was seriously delayed by heavy successive rains* and cool weather prevented normal growth of seeded -jats. It seems likely that the Michigan oat acreage will be much less than intended; and with the June 1 condition of only 70 per cent of nor­ mal. a low' total production is antici­ pated although no production forecast will be made until in July after the acreage is estimated. Michigan bar­ ley suffered from the same weather as did oats, and ns a result the condi­ tion on June 1, was 72 per cent of nor­ mal compared with the ten-year av­ erage of 84 per cent. The condition of hay in Michigan is above average with the exception of alfalfa which was retarded by the cool weather and which Is spotted from slight winter killing in some sections. All tame hay had a condi­ tion of 84 per cent of normal compar­ ed with the ten-year average of 80.5 per cent. Pastures are also good. Frost damage in Michigan accounts for a widely different condition for various fruits as well as a wide range in the condition of each fruit in ad­ joining sections. Pears in the South­ western part of the State suffered most, but early apples, plums, peach-, es, and cherries were also damaged considerably in this same section. Frost did less damage farther north tn the fruit belt as the bloom was la­ ter. and consequently from Allegan county north the prospects are most­ ly good. The condition of Michigan fruit crops on June 1 was apples 78 per cent, peaches 65 per cent, pears 50 per cent, cherries 67 per cent, plums 54 per cent, grapes 69 per cent, blackberries and raspberries 73 per cent, and strawberries 70 per cent of normal.

Therefore we consider it a great priv­ ilege that we have been permitted to attend high school, and obtain those factors which will surely help us over the rougher years of schooling yet to follow. Do not think that we. the members of this class, who have been permitted to clutch this gift of valued oppor­ tunity, do so without acknowledging a debt to those W’ho have made it pos­ sible. First, we have great gratitude to our parents who have placed their means and sacrifices before us in or­ der that they might give us this op­ portunity. We are debtors in that we owe much to our parents. There is also another group to which wc wish to express our grati­ tude and that is our teachers. I count it a privillge that I am permitted, in behalf of my class, to thank the teachers for their helpful guidance throughout our relations with them. We extend our sincere gratitude to these teachers, who have been so will­ ing and able to aid ua Some one has said: “The measuring stick by which the degree of every success is dete: mined is Results.” If any of us obtain success in later life in filling our place we surely can attribute at least a portion of the re­ sults to their training, and guidance during the four years now closing. There is still another group gath- COMMENCEMENT ACTIVITIES (continued from page 1.) ‘ place we have to fill. As the aged man looks back over his life he sees many occasions of pleasure as' well as of disappoint­ ments. So it is with us as we bring to m nd. now and then, different in­ cidents which have occurred through­ out our high school life. These asso­ ciations will linger with us and form a pa»t of our individual selves. As Tennyson has said: "I am a £art of all that I have met". So we are a part of all we have met at high school.

Washington.—The finding of a dead bird en a beach in South Africa-may unlock a secret which has long puz­ zled American naturalists. The bird, an Arctic tern, carried a small meta) band on one l“g with the number 548.138 and, in -abbreviated form, the address of the bureau of bi­ ological survey. United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture. • O. L. Austin banded the tern at Turnerik bay. Labrador, on July 28. 1928. Four months later It was found In South Africa. • Scientists have recognized the Arc­ tic tern as the Lindbergh of the bird world. It makes the longest migra­ tion of any bird, summering tn the Arctic and wintering in the Antarctic. Eleveff thousand miles to a winter re­ sort Is an all-time record. . What Routs Is Mystery. By what route does the Arctic tern fly from the North pole to the . Ant­ arctic? That has been the question. H. J. S. Heather of Durban. Natal, has communicated to the National Geographic society the circumstances of the Important find, which may an­ swer the question: “The tern was picked up by. Mr. Wackrlll of Johannesburg, u few miles south of Port Rhepstone. His discov­ ery, the biological survey wrote the finder, was the most remarkable case that has been reported In any country. It suggests that the Arctic tern leaves the northern reaches of North Amer­ ica, flies tn Portugal, crosses the Itength of Africa and then ’hops’ to the Antarctic continent." The new evidence adds about 2,000 miles to the previous 11.000 miles es­ timatefl airline flight of the species. The Arctic tern'enjoys more daylight than any other living creature be­ cause it lives in regions where, the sun never sets nnd only experiences night on Its semiannual Journeys across the equator. Terns nnd other shore birds travel more widely than any other feathered creatures. The golden plover raises a brood in Ungava or northern Labra­ dor and In the fall wings out over the ocean, never stopping until It reaches Bermuda. On It flies, pausing, perhaps at the Bahamas, or the Lesser Antilles on the way to South America. The first of the golden plovers have been reported arriving In Paraguay before the last have left the breeding grounds They “winter" on the Argentine pam­ pas where the summer sun makes food plentiful. Even unadventurous appearing war­ blers travel far to escn|»e the cold breath of winter. Of our American species nnd subspecies twenty-two winter In the West Indies, forty-four go to Mexico, thirty-seven push on to Central America, while twenty-two reach South America. It Is a fact for never censing wonder that some war­ blers and other small birds fly 500 miles across the Caribbean sea with­ out resting. Probably the mast remarkable non­ stop oversea flights are those of the Pacific golden plover. Coming south from Alaska It touches nt the Aleu tlaus and then takes off for Hawaii. It crosses 2.800 miles of open ocean.’ How plovers are aide to locate the Hawaiian islands In the middle of the Pacific Is a mystery of nature. Remarkable Flight Records.

With the propagation of the pheasant in full swing lhe game farm becomes one of the busiest places in the state. Not only must the breed­ ing stock be cared for, hundreds of adults in separate pens of one cock and five hen birds that are now pro­ ducing an average of 530 eggs a day;, but the newly batched chicks must be carried safely through the first few weexs of thfeir lives which generally is the period of greatest danger. Pre­ parations will soon start for the sec­ ond setting, that will hatch about July 1st—the fourth of July is not a holiday on,the Mason game farm for . at that time there will be another four or five thousand newly hatched pheasant chicks demanding constant attention. The pheasant eggs are set under the old reliable barnyard hen, twenty eggs to the setting. When we visited the game farm last week wc were taken past the long lines of laying pens, past the clover fields in which the hens and their broods of pheasant • chicks would later be placed, along a woooland path to the hatchery lo­ cated in the center of a-well-shaded piece of woods. There within a wire enclosure were the 300 nesting boxes, each occupied with a brooding hen patiently awaiting the day when the twenty pheasant eggs beneath hy would hatch into so many potential game birds to be later liberated in Michigan coverts to supply wild gpame for the three or four hundred thous­ and hunters next October . �Paddock and family Saturday daughter.

CREAMERY WILL 16731903 SATURDAY POTATO CLUBBOYS TO INSPECT PLOTS IN TUESDAY TOUR IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED, PLANT NOW IN NEW SITE Arrangements for the formal opening of the new plant of the Farmers Co-Operative Creamery Association of Nashville have been completed and on Saturday, June 22, afternoon and evening, the company will keep open house for the benefit of the general public and stockholders. Inspection of the plant will be between the hours of 2:00 and 5:30 in the afternoon and 7:00 and 10:00 Saturday evening. Beside the inspection of the plant there will be special enter­ tainment and favors for everybody. Representatives of several companies with whom the farmers do business will be on hand toassist in welcoming the guests. Officers and directors of the com­ pany will also greet visitors and assist in showing them the prop­ erty. The plant is now located at the east end of Sherman street near the railroad and there is plenty of parking space for auto­ mobiles. . . That a large crowd of town and rural folks will visit the creamery during the afternoon and evening, is the belief of cream­ ery officials, who have worked consistently to have the^plant near enough to completion so that the opening could be heEnext Sat­ urday. FATHERS AND MOTHERS AND MEMBERS OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL MAKE UP IN­ SPECTION PARTY. Members of the Boys’ Potato Club being sponsored by members of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, will have their regular monthly meeting next Tuesday. Mr. Lundin state club leader, will be here and meet with the boys, also Miss Boyle, 'county club agent. The boys vvill meet in Nashville at 10 o’clock in the forenoon. They will be loaded into cars and taken on an inspection tour to see what other boys are doing." At noon there will be a pot luck dinner, after which there will be a ball game and another inspection tour. Fathers and mothers of the boys are invited to go along on the inspection trip and have dinner with the boys. Senior -partners, or mem­ bers of the chamber of commerce, will also be in the party and a general good time will be enjoyed as well as valuable instruction. Each boy is asked to bring'sand­ wiches and one other dish, and there is no doubt but that the bunch will be well fed. COUNCIL VOTED A DRINKING FOUNTAIN FOR PUBLIC SUPPLY SI700 LOSS IN FIRE LAST WEDNES. NIGHT WILL REPAIR GRAND STAND AT BALL PARK AND MAKE IT SAFE FOR USE OF PUBLIC. ORIGIN OF FIRE WHICH DAM­ AGED BETTS’ PLUMBING SHOP STILL UNDETERMINED. Loss of $1700 in the fire which broke out in the rear of Chas. Betts’ plumbing shop was sustained last Wednesday evening. The fire broke out shortly before nine o’clock while the town was waiting on its custo­ mary Wednesday evening crowds. Starting, it is said, in the base­ ment. the blaze quickly spread-to the upstairs and roof of the building, seemingly being well on the way to consume the entire building when the fire department arrived on the scene. However, quick work on the part of the department got the blaze under control within a very few minutes and confined the damage entirely to the rear half of the building and stock. It will be necessary to tear <Jown the damaged rear of the building,' ac­ cording to Mr. Betts, who states that instead of the two story affair as at present, he will build a one-story building, with accommodations for ga­ rage and storage of material. • Loss caused by the fire was cover­ ed by insurance and adjustments have been made satisfactorily to both par­ ties. Charles states that this is his first fire and he very much prefers to have it be his last one. NUMBER 48 NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY. JUNE 20,1929 MRS. WM. P.

Hosmer Cemetery May Be Improved Action of the township boaru of trustees which will mean improveI ment of the Hosmer cemetery two miles north of Nashville, is expected at their next meeting when the ques­ tion will be brought up. Neglect of the cemetery has left the burying ground in decidedly bad conation, al­ most inaccessible from the highway, and badly in need of repair. । Relatives and friends of a number of local people are buried in the Hosmer cemetery, and any of those who may be Interested In the improvement contemplated should get in touch with the township Clerk, H. F. Remington. Arrangements are being made for those interested to do­ nate funds toward such improvement. ! Mrs. Harriet Elizabeth Jarrard, wife of William P. Jarrard. passed away at the family home on Sherman street at 11.20 Tuesday night. She would have been 77 years of age had she lived until August 29. 1929. Mrs. Jarrard was born in Rlchlanr county, Ohio, and when a girl of nine came with her parents to Michigan, settling in Maple Grove township. On July 1, 1875. she was married to Mr. Jarrard and they continued to live on a farm in Maple Grove township until 1907 when they retired from ac­ tive farm life and moved to Morgan. Later, in 1913. they moved to Nash­ ville which has since been their home. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Jarrard. three of whom”are liv­ INVENTORY OF LAND BEING ing.

MEN ADMIT ARSON DURING PAST WEEK THREE SETS BUILDINGS BURN­ ED ON COLGROVE FARMS NEAR HASTINGS IN FEW WEEKS. Following a succession of fires within Barry county during the past few weeks Mr. McKenna of the state fire marshal’s department was sum­ moned into the county last week and as a result three persons admitted they were guilty of setting fire to buildings, either for spite or to col­ lect insurance money. Three sets of buildings have been burned on the P. T. Cclgrove farms near Hastings with­ in a few weeks, including a house, two barns and a granary. The person who committed this crime ha.? been upprehended and admitted his guilt. A store at Cloverdale also was burned a week ago and a young man admitted he set it on fire. Another man in the southern part of Barry county admit­ ted having burned his buildings in or­ der that he might 'collect such muchneeded cash. Local insurance men who are re­ sponsible for Mr. McKenna’s visit in the county are to be congratulated on their action in having the guilty par­ ties apprehended.

The fountain will have a "deg" fountain below the drinking supply in order to keep dogs from drinking from the same source as the public. • Consideration of petitions for ex­ tension of water mains and electric light service, and allowance of regular monthly bills made up the greater portion of the time spent in regular meeting.

SAYS BABY BEEVES WILL MAKE PROFIT RESULTS OF FEEDING TRIALS REPORTED AT EAST LANSING FEEDERS MEETING. The probable continuation of a fa­ vorable market for beef cattle gives Michigan farmers a chance to make a profit by raising beef calves for feeders, according to J. L. Tormey. field man for the American Shorthorn Breeder’s Association, who stated at the annual Feeders Day at Michigan State College that these calves, which would cost $50 in the West, could be grown here for $35. Feeding results presented at the meeting indicated that ground bar­ ley is on a par with shelled corn in producing gains on beef cattle, but the corn-fed animals appeared to have a little better quality of fleshing. The cost of gains were approxi­ mately equal with the barley and the corn rations. Both were fed with corn silage and alfalfa hay. The ad­ dition of linseed meal to the corn ra­ tion hastened the gains made by the cattle and increased the returns from the corn 40 cents per hunderweight. Hog feeding trials showed that the use of alfalfa pasture reduces the cost of pork production. Another ex­ periment proved that expensive hog houses are not necessary for housing hogs which are being fattened in the winter. Temperatures as low as 22 degrees below zero had no bad effect on the hogs which were housed in A type cots. Officers elected by the cattle .Feed­ ers Association were: Otto waner, Deerfield, president; E. L. Fifer, Bliss­ field, vice-president; G. A. Branaman, E. Lansing. Secretary: Henry Town­ send, Ionia; A. T. Boyd, Eckford; Charles White, Jonesville; Lester Al­ len, Alma; and W. W. Crano, Swartz Creek, directors. The new creamery plant presents a splendid appearance. Although the outside has not been touched yet, so far as paint is concerned, the interior has been finished throughout in purest white, impressing the visitor with its sanitary finish. Beginning at the of­ fices, which include two rooms, where the arrangement has been made with convenience of the customer upper­ most in mind, one passes through a hallway from which extends the egg­ candling department, lavatories and storage for butter cartons and wrap­ pers. tubs and liners. -Stairways both upstairs and down open onto this hall­ way. also. Turning to the left the visitor enters the butter factory and there appears the huge ice making machine which furnishes refrigera­ tion for a cooler 15 x 21 feet inside, and where one may see .stacks* and stacks blitter in tubs, squares, and cartons. Openings onto the street for loading onto trucks, and into the of­ fice where the attendant may open a door and reach into this big cooling room for butter which is handed the individual customer add to its con­ venience. To the right of the ice machine is the large churn which is kept busy most of the time turning out the gol­ den-colored spread which is finding such a ready sale locally and in for­ eign markets. In the south end of the building is the buttermilk and skim-milk dryer, a new machine which has been in­ stalled as a part of the expansion program of the company. Here the milk will be dried and sold in a mar­ ket heretofore unknown to the local creamery, and will prove to be a val­ uable addition in the handling of whole milk direct from the dairy. Four pasteurizers are located in the center of this room. A Doering but­ ter printer shapes the butter in onepound squares which are wrapped in tissue and boxed for the retail trade. There is also a 400-gal. receiving vat for whole milk, a 6500-lb. separator, a dumping tank for cream, a weigh can for milk, can washer, cheese vat. con­ veyors. milk and cream tubular cool­ er, etc. Practically all available space is occupied by machinery to be used in the handling of either milk or cream. Electric motors play a large part in the operation of this machinery. 14 motors with a total of 47 horse power operating throughout the day. In the basement is located the large boiler unit which was purchased new to supply the steam and heat needed in this plant. The boiler is 114 h. p., a Michigan product, made by Wicks Boiler Co., in Saginaw. It will heat the plant, heat water for pasteurizing, and also furnish steam for the milk dryer. Upstairs is storage space for tubs, supplies, powdered milk, butter milk and skim milk tanks, water tanks, etc. Purchase of the building which was owned by L. H.

GENE TUNNEY, AUTHOR From Italy comes the rumor that Gene Tunney, retired heavy-weight champion of the world, who has been visiting with the world-famous play­ wright, George Bernard Shaw, con­ templates entering the literary field. George Bernard Shaw Is said to have given Gene Tunney encourage­ ment in this new ambition. And so the world is to have a new thrill, see­ ing a dyed-in-the-wool pugilist turn to the gentle art of letters. Of course, a not altogether new thrill. Almost every successful sports-| man has written articles on sports, or had such articles written for him by ghost writers. However, from Tun­ ney we do not expect a story of his experiences in the ring. For Tunney’s mental make-up is different than that of most pugilists. He typifies the new school of athletes, whose minds are developed as care­ fully as their, bodies. Tunney reads and understands Shakespeare' and Shaw, and has the friendship of such literary artists as Thornton Wilder. Tunney evidently wants to become one of the world’s classics—and if he should succeed, it will be among the most remarkable phenomena of mod­ em times, for who would have dream­ ed that a hand capable of delivering knockout punches could also be em- ployed in the delicate art of penning masterpieces. We have yet to see whether Tunney's pen is more power­ ful than his punch.

"We have tasks more pressing and CLAS8 ORATION. By Allen Brumm. ' We the class of 1929, on the verge of a great adventure, have enosen for our motto the words from Tennyson's Ulysses: “I am a part of all thM I have met.” "I am a part of all that I have j met. ’ These ure significant words. | They are the belief of Tennyson as well as of Browning, and in fact, of all great thinkers of all times, from, the ancients down through and in­ cluding the present time. These words show me that my environ­ ments. my associates, my reading, my studies, my work, and even my thoughts, determine to a great ex­ tent what my future will be. But these words also have their converse: •'Everything that I have met is a pari of me.” If this is true, as I shall prove, then my family, my asso­ ciates, and even my school, its ath­ letics. its debating, and its social ac­ tivities have assimilated a part of me; that is, they have been changed or their ideals have been changed, be­ cause they have met me. These words and their converse ap­ ply not only to common people, like you and me, but they are also true of the great men in our public Life. The first man I shall consider is ex-president Coolidge. When he was a boy his mother was sick and could not be worried, so he kept his thoughts and aspirations to himself. Probably this, as much as anything else, deepened legend into the silence that is now a Coolidge legend. He spent most of his time reading and How To Be Pretty inmost i ■ homelike; ■ hotel I iCARACE ■Hotel ■Rowe 666 Forced to Sleep in Chair—Gas So Bad United him The last man whom I have chosen to consider is not a politician, but his influence extends far and wide—even today. He is the late Charles Eliot, long president of Harvard and com­ piler of the five-foot shelf of Harvard classics. ’ Some time after graduating from Harvard he spe&t two years studying in Europe. While there he got an in­ sight into these educations! systems, which was of imtold value to him a few years later. In 1869 he became Wash Fabries put through many reforms as to the choice by students, of courses of stu­ dy available. These reforms have been adopted by all leading colleges and by many high schools. Charles Eliot is a part not only of those whom he personally met, but al­ so of those who have read or heard of his ideas. Thus, though Mr. Eliot is dead and cannot expand his influence directly by meeting and talking with others, yet that influence is still go­ ing on and, I believe, increasing as time goes by. Thus we see that lives of great men are affected by what they have met. and conversely what they have met has been affected by them, and- we may safely draw the conclusion that all people .rich or poor, great or small, are affected by the same great law. This being the case, we must pick out our associates, books, entertainments, and work, in such a way that we mayget a varied but helpful experience and we must try to live so that, when we meet others, we may help rather than hinder them. I can sincerely say in closing that as individuals and as a class, we the class of 1929, have received many useful lessons and helps throughout our high school days in Nashville, and that we are leaving old Nashville high school with higher Ideals in ath­ letics. in debating, in music, Ln art, and in academic work, than we would have if our harking our training and our instruction had been less high, for does it not all come back to those challenging words: ”1 am a part of all that I have met”' E.

A large number of the stockholders and prospective patrons were anxious to sell the whole milk in order that they might eliminate the necessity of spiraling thfeir own pro­ duct and the demand became so great that the change was thought advisa­ ble.

Milk routes have been established which honey-comb the whole territory gathering the valuable milk fluid from every farmer who desires to sell. • Officers and directors are to be complimented on the progress they have made in the conduct of the bus­ iness.

EDISON CONTEST CREAMERY OPENS, ATTENDED BY 800 PEOPLE SATURDAY SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES NOW GO TO NEW JERSEY IN FINALS Competition for a successor for the great Thomas A. Edison as head of the immense industries now directed by him, has reach­ ed its hand into the village of Nashville and selected Philip Maurer as the young man who will represent the state of Michigan in the national contest to be held in the near future at West Or­ ange, N. J., the home of Mr. Edison. On Thursday of last week Mr. Maurer emerged the winner in the state elimination held at Ann Arbor. He had previously eliminated seventy-two competi­ tors from about the state in a contest held at the four state nor­ mal schools. MUSIC AND SPEAKING PART OF PROGRAM OF ENTERTAIN­ MENT AS FOLKS VIEW PLANT. Attendance at the forma! opening of the Fanners' Co-Operative Cream­ ery Association of Nashville last Sat­ urday reached expectations of officials of the company when more than eight hundred people from Nashville and vi­ cinity made their way through thb spacious plant for the first time. The occasion marked the completion of the new plant on Sherman street which has been in the course of remodeling and construction for several weeks past. ‘ Refreshments, which included ap­ proximately 25 pounds of wafers and as many gallons of ice cream were served those who called, and music by Mrs. Gladys Miller, an employee in the office of the company, as well as an address by Brown Karkula. of the General Laboratories of Madison. Wls., made up entertainment. Of­ ficials of the co-operative association were on hand to assist in showing the throngs through the plant which is one of the most complete and modern in southern Michigan. Visitors from creameries in other nearby towns were also present to inspect the plant. With installation of the new ma­ chinery for handling whole milk And drying skimmed milk and buttermilk a considerable increase in the volume of business is confidently expected by the local association. New mar­ kets will be available for the added products and facilities of the plant make it possible to take advantage of such outlets. The association is to be congratu­ lated in their forward step. The com­ munity is proud of their achievement And wishes them unlimited success in the expansion of their business in this village. g Here’s the Title— We Don’t Want It.

Bob Surlne. Sam Couch, Cliff Allen, Louis Diamante and Ted Town­ send were the passengers and it is reported that as many as five aspirin tablets were necessary to quiet the nerves of some of them when they got back. Well, we relinquish the title without any argument for we never have, and never expect to drive from Nashville to Detroit in two hours and twenty minutes—not until we get our airplane. INDEPENDENTS LOSE TO CLARKSVILLE SUNDAY. Erratic fielding and reckless base running cost the local ball team the game Sunday afternoon at Riverside park, Clarksville making the best of the opportunities offered In annexing a 7 to 6 victory. Archie Martin was on the mound for Nashville, his first appearance in the box this season, and his hurling was of a class that de­ served better results. Several fum­ bles and wild throws on the part of his teammates, however, proved too much of n handicap, and though the Independents went into the ninth inn­ ing with a two-run lead the visitors cut loose with a last minute rally that netted three scores and gave them the honors. Next Sunday afternoon Nashville is scheduled to play the Lake House team at Thornapple lake. The locals are undergoing a change in manage­ ment this week and will appear Sun­ day with a revamped lineup, which will probably exhibit more strength than in recent games. Bride of Prince?

MARY EARLY, EARL FRUIT OF MICHIGAN, SCHULZE MARRIED SAY CROPS EXPERTS THIS AFTERNOON WHEAT SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN LAST YEAR, OATS NOT SO GOOD; HAY PROSPECTS GOOD. The cold wet weather that prevail­ ed almost continuously from about April 10th to May 25th not only held back the growth of fall-sown grains but prevented the preparation of ground for the intended acreage of oats and barley. The seeding of these crops was done in many cases on poorly-fitted ground between rainy periods. Efforts to seed continued throughout the month of May and it is certain that m.xny acres intended for these crops will be planted to corn and beans instead. Winter Wheat: The decline in the condition of the winter wheat crop during May amounted to three points, the condition standing 79 per cent on June 1. This decline was less than the average for past years. Low tem­ perature and wet weather in May are usually favorable for the crop but it was the fact that these factors were extreme this year that caused the de­ terioration. The present outlook is for a crop of 14,896,000 bushels or about thre^-fourths of a million bush­ els more than the short production of last year and one and one-half miV lions less than the ten-year average. ’ Spring Wheat: The condition of the Michigan crop is reported at 83 per cent as compared with 77 per cent last year and a ten-year average of 77 per cent. Rye: The June 1 condition of rye in the State is 81 per cent., a drop of five points during May. and is four points under the ten-year average^ The estimated production based on this figure is 2.138.00 bushels. The acreage has steadily declined for sev­ eral years and this year’s crop prom­ ises to be the smallest in 25 years. Oats: The condition of 70 per cent is 16 points under that of June 1, 1928. and 13 points below the average for the past ten years. The ground was so cold and wet that seeding pro­ gressed yery slowly and under great difficulties. As a result, the acreage is reduced and the critical filling per­ iod will probably be extended into the reason when hot and dry weather pre­ vails. Unless subsequent weather proves unusually favorable, the crop is apparently destined to be a short one in Michigan. Republicans from all over the Unitcd States will assist Michigan in celebrating the founding of the Republi­ can party 75 years ago at Jackson. Michigan. Arrangements for the cel­ ebration which will extend over a per­ iod of seven days, beginning June 30, have been completed and announce­ ments of the program are in the hands of the public. Included in the elaborate program are an Exposition of Progress, His­ torical Pageant. Fireworks. Baseball. Parades. Mardi Gras, etc. Some of the country’s outstanding dignitaries are listed on the program as speakers, and Jackson is bound to be the gath­ ering place of a large number of the party's notables.The program opens with a mass church meeting Sunday evening at 5 o'clock at the Jackson county fair grounds. WILL AWARD HONORS TO MICHIGAN WOMEN RURAL HOME MARKETS TO RE­ CEIVE RECOGNITION OF THEIR IMPORTANCE AS PARTNERS. Public recognition of the import­ ance of the feminine partner in a farm business will be symbolized at a presentation of medals to five Michi­ gan farm women who will be given the title of Master Farm Home Mak­ er. Aug. 2. at the conclusion of Farm Women’s Week at Michigan State College. Similar groups of women have been chosen in 21 states. The acknowledge­ ment of the national indebtedness to rural housewives is sponsored by "The Farmer's Wife" published at St. Paul. Minn. Representatives of the maga­ zine cooperate with the home econom­ ics extension service of State College in the selection of the Michigan group. Candidates from all parts of the State were nominated by their neigh­ bors for inclusion in the group of five to be accorded public honors. Selec­ tion of the five from among those nominated will be made by a commit­ tee appointed to consider the contri­ bution of each candidate to her fami­ ly and to the community in which she lives.

The bride was attractively gowned in peach geor­ gette crepe and carried a shower of roses, while the groom wore navy blue. The wedding march was played by Miss Elizabeth Gibson, while the ser­ vice was read by Rev. Harley Town­ send of Woodland. The bridal couple were unattended.

Mrs. Schulze is a graduate of Nashvill high school, class of 1929. Mr. Schulze is one of Nashville's pro­ gressive young farmers, having pur­ chased a farm at the village limits about two years ago. Following their return from a short wedding trip by automobile, they will be at home to their many friends in Mrs. Emily Mix's house on South Main street. The News joins with their many friends in wishing them happiness and prosperity in their wedded life. Farmers Who Hatch Pheasant Eggs Must Release When Mature Members of the Nashville potato club held their regular monthly meet­ ing here Tuesday, starting in the fore­ noon and continuing throughout the afternoon. The boys met in the Nash­ ville club auditorium flor their fore­ noon session and were given instruc­ tions by Per Lundin, of Michigan State College. In the matter of judg­ ing various farm products, including corn, beans, and potatoes. Judging contests will be held locally this fall and the winners will be sent to Lan­ sing to compete in a state judging contest. Following the instruction at the au­ ditorium the boys went to Putnam Park, where a fine pot luck dinner was set before them, and did they eat! | In spite of the large quantity of food , set before them there was scarcely a j thing left to carry home but the dish- | es. Then a ball game. The boys Chose 1 sides and enthusiastically entered in­ to a game of outdoor-indoor ball that kept them busy until 2:00 o'clock, when they loaded into cars and went on an inspection trip to various potato plots ot members of the club. While not many of the plantings are up there were sufficient to keep the boys busy the allotted time. Miss Boyle and Paul Rood, of the county agri­ cultural department, and Mr. Lundin accompanied the boys, and valuable instruction was given on the treat­ ment for bugs and diseases, and culti­ vation. The boys are showing an unusual amount of Interest in their project. While the attendance Tuesday was not at good as might be expected and hoped, the extremely busy season ac­ counts for some absentees. WILL GIVE WARNING FOR CHERRY SPRAYS PROPER CONTROL OF FRUIT FLY POSSIBLE ONLY BY STRICTLY OBSERVING DATES. Spray warnings for the control of the cherry fruit fly which were given June 21 to the cherry growers in southwestern Michigan mark the be­ ginning of this year’s campaign to protect this crop by means of a ser­ vice in which the State Department of Agriculture and the entomologists of Michigan State College cooperate. In the fruit belt of Michigan, dif­ ferences in weather conditions make it necessary to maintain observation stations throughout the area to as­ certain exactly when sprays should be applied to control the cherry fruit fly. Warning is to be given to the growers in each section when to ap­ ply the spray. The poison recommended for the fruit fly by the College entomologist is two or two and one-half pounds of dry, powdered arsenate of lead in 100 gallons of water or of dilute lime-sul­ phur. Two and one-half gallons of lime-sulphur in 100 gallons Of water is tbe dilution recommended. This spray is advised for use on sour canning cherries which are to be scrubbed. County agricultural agents, news services, tbe newspapers, and the ra­ dio will all work together to advise growers in tach section when to-spray their cherries- This service was so successful last year that not a single can of Michigan cherries failed to pass rigid inspection for damaged fruit. At this season a number of nests of the ringneck pheasant are being exposed by mowing machines, and at times the setting hen pheasant is killed. As a rule the farmer takes such sets of eggs and re-sets them under one of his hens. This is proper and in the interest of conservation, but when sets of eggs are taken un­ der these conditions the fact should be reported to the local conservation officer so that the possession may be entered in the records of the conser­ vation department, and in order to avoid a technica' violation of the game laws.

PHILIP MAURER with a fine radio-victrola with Edi­ son's compliments. Mr. Maurer, who will represent Michigan in the national contest is a graduate of Nashville high school, class of '29. Following a brilliant ca­ reer as a student in Nashville schools, he completed his high school course as salutatorian. Previous to this he had been a member of his school’s de­ bating team for two years, his team winning two elimination contests in the state debating league the past school year. He was also a member of the high school football team, play­ ing during the fall of 1928 until he was disabled with a broken shoulder. Mr. Maurer was born on a farm north of Nashville just sixteen years ago. There he resided until he mov­ ed, with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Franz Maurer, to Nashville six years ago. He started his school life in the Nashville schools at the age of six years. At the age of thirteen he en­ tered the local high school, finishing there in four years. He was president of the junior and senior classes. The local candidate for the Edison honors has not confined himself to student honors during the last few years.

Once these wanderers were numerous enough to be a pest to train crews. Now they are heard of occa­ sionally, sometimes being listed as "unknowns" among the victims of a freight wrack, but they have mostly disappeared. Have they taken to the automobile? With their instinct for wandering, they may have seen that the great state und national systems of high­ ways offer them the best opportuni­ ties. They depend on the good will of the autolst to “get a lift,” and on tbe long stretches, away from the populous districts, they are general­ ly successful The spread of this habit of accept­ ing or soliciting rides is an imposi­ tion on the good natqre of auto own­ ers. Their real object, of course, is to save carfare home. The whole thing amounts to a petty hold-up and should be stopped. The hobo's way of stealing a ride does? not differ so much after all from the more up-to-date method of begging a ride. HOOVER'S COMMON SENSE W HEN TO MABRY. TEACHING HOW TO THINK. CRIME NEVER PAYS.

Now they are heard of occa­ sionally, sometimes being listed as "unknowns" among the victims of a freight wreck, but they have mostly disappeared. Have they taken to the automobile ? With their instinct for wandering, they may have seen that the great state and national systems of high­ ways offer them the best opportuni­ ties. They depend on the good will of the autoist to “get a lift," and on the long stretches, away from the populous districts, they are general­ ly successful. The spread of this habit of accept­ ing or soliciting rides is an imposi­ tion on the good nature of auto own­ ers. Their real object, of course, is to save carfare home. The whole thing amounts to a petty hold-up and should be stopped. The hobo's way of stealing a ride does not differ so much after all from the more up-to-date method of begging a ride. THE DAY WE CELEBRATE. For some years now the cannon crackers of beloved memory and all other toys supposedly or actually dangerous have been forbidden to children, who found joy in them be­ fore the new era of uplift and scien­ tific criticism of all things gay and adventurous. And it isn't uncommon to hear of parents who, impelled by the newer codes of dietetics, are pre­ paring to limit the quantities of ice cream usually available as a stimulus of patriotic feeling in tbe young.

So at least said the Greek philoso­ pher. Modern commonsense say tbe best time to marry is when you fall in love, that when you marry young you keep out of mischief, if you stay away from Reno and Paris. Why should men marry after forty and women after thirty? Because children get intellect and health,from the mother. They should be born when the mother's health and Intel­ lect have reached highest development and before either begin to fall Children Inherit intelligence chiefly from their fathers, when the fathers HAVE it. In men that develop fully, about 1 in 1,000, full intelligence is not developed until forty-five or fifty. Dean Hutchins, soon to be head of the University of Chicago and young­ est president of any big college in tbe United State?, says the teachers’ real work is teaching students to THINK. “A university is not made to reform or amuse young men. but to teach them to think, to think straight if possible, but to think always for themselves." No educator ever said anything more important or expressed more accurately the purpose of education. But how can you teach men TO THINK? That is the question. You must take them young. Professor Hutchins says. "It is sad but true that at eighteen or nineteen it Is too late to take a boy and make a man of him and interest him in his studies.

Cross, recipient of the gold medal for perfect diption given by the American Academy of Arts and Letters, took his place at the mi­ crophone with the A. & P. Gypsies on Monday evening. June 3d. The se­ lection of Mr. Cross is a result of the constant endeavor of The Great At­ lantic &, Pacific Tea Company, spon­ sors of the Gypsy Hour, to further the high standards in radio presentation. The association of Mr. Cross as a regular announcer for this hour cli­ maxes the long continued success of the A. <& P. Gypsy group. With bls perfect diction and the high type of musical program, rendered by the no­ mad musicians. It la believed that the combination augurs well for the con­ tinuation of the Gypsy Hour as one of the outstanding features on the air. His association with tb» Gypsies will bring his voice to many more ‘mil­ lions. Authorities have pointed out the effect that Mr. Cross will undoubt­ edly work on the youth of America in aiding them to acquire perfect speech. Today he stands forth as one whose diction Is worthy of being used as a model for all America. When Mr. Cross received the gold medal award he commented as follows: "Good dic­ tion. purity and beauty of tone can be acquired through study. And becau.se we announcers are the daily examples of spoken English for millions pf peo­ ple we should be most particular of our speech.” Milton J. Cross is considered a vet­ eran of his profession and the leader of radio announcers. Hundreds of as­ pirants to the American Academy of Arts and Letters award bowed to Mr. Cross' voice and bis sjfiendkl enunci­ ation.

ANOTHER CAR HITS TELEPHONE POLE AT NORTH END CURVE GRAND ’RAPIDS CAR BREAKS POLE FOR SECOND TLME IN FEW WEEKS. For the second time within a few weeks the telephone pole at the curve north of the standpipe has been broken in two. and occupants of cars injured. Sunday forenoon Mr. and Mrs. B. Palm and daughter, of Grand Rapids, who were on their way here to visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Lundstrum, cast of Nash­ ville, met a car on this turn and swerved too far to the right, losing control of their car and crashing into the pole. It broke about ten feet above the ground. The car was not seriously damaged and the driver was able to move it under its own power. Mrs. Palm suffered severe cuts and bruises, which were dressed at the office of a local physician. The daughter was flung from the car but was unhurt. Mr. Palm was unhurt. Several weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Olmstead had a similar experience at this same curve, failing to make the turn in time to miss the pole, and their car crashed into it breaking the pole and ruining their car. Occueints of the car were also severely juied. In a statement to a representative of the News Tuesday Manager J. E. McElwain, of the Michigan Bell Tele­ phone Co.’s Hastings office, said that the company had made arrangements to remove the pole and string a cable around this corner, removing the menace of a pole, and likewise, do­ ing away with the replacement of broken poles. With the removal of the pole it will be possible for mo­ torists to "nose” into the bank and possibly make a softer landing. Because of the dangerous corner the village council has requested the Consumers Power Co., to install a red overhead light instead of the white one now in use. Addition of a red glass reflector would also serve to warn motorists of the extremely sharp curve. NOTICE OF ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.

The Nashville base ball team failed to show the expected improvement in Sunday's game at Thornapple lake, and took one of the worst beatings of the season, losing to the Lake House nine by a score of 11 to 1. The game was lost right in the opening session, when Pennington, who started on the mound for Nashville, was unable toget started right and was nicked for six runs. Later in the game he was replaced by Archie Martin, who was in much better form, and held the op­ ponents on even terms. The locals also showed an unusual weakness pt bat, and Chase, the Hastings twirler. received credit for a no-hit game. Today, the Fourth, the team goes to Pine lake for another game with the southwestern Barry team. SUMMER OUTING MICH.

TWO DIRECTORS TO BE ELECTED TO SCHOOL BOARD We Make An Error —And Correct It ESSENTIAL PLANT FOOD MADE AVAILABLE FOR USE OF PLANTS ON SUITABLE SOILS. While the argument of the practi­ cability of a nitrate manufacturing plant at Muscle Shoals has been tak­ ing place, a supply of thousands of tons of nitrogen in the air above ev­ ery acre of soil has been available for the use of nitrogen fixing bacteria which live on the roots of legumes or in the soil, according to a statement by members of the soils department at Michigan State College. The type of bacteria which live on the roots of legumes obtain a part of their food from the plants but, in re­ turn, they take nitrogen from the air and a portion of this food element is available for the plant's use. Both the plant and the bacteria benefit by their association. . The second type of nitrogen fixing bacteria use organic matter in the soil for food and are not associated with any plants. These bacteria also take nitrogen from the air, and. after it has become fixed in the soil, the nitrates which are formed can be us­ ed by plants. All classes of nitrogen fixing bac­ teria thrive best in soils which are Elentifuliy supplied with lime, and the icreased activity of the bacteria af­ ter a soil has been limed is one of major benefits derived from the prac­ tice. Another practice which increases the numbers of bacteria in the soil is the inoculation of the seed of le­ guminous plants. Material for the in­ oculation of the seed contains living bacteria, and these multiply in the soil in which the seed is sown. Many Arrests Made Among Law Violators Figures recently compiled by the state Department of Conservation show excellent results by operatives of the department in the matter of law enforcement Arrest of a large number of the violators and thous­ ands of dollars in fines imposed upon those convicted should prove an ef­ fective warning to those who would knowingly overstep game and fish laws in Michigan. During May there were 273 persons convicted of violating Michigan game and fish laws. Total fines ..— costs amounted to >6,070.75 and 70 days in J*U.________________ This Week Finishes Season at Camp Barry Michigan newspaper publishers and their families enjoyed one of the best summer outings ever held by the Michigan Press Association when they gathered at Detroit last Thurs­ day for a three day meeting. Opening with registration at the Hotel Fort Shelby on Thursday morn­ ing. the members started their enter­ tainment by a visit to the offices of Campbell - Ewald Co., advertising _ counsellors, who place a good share " of the "foreign” advertising enjoyed by the country publishers. This com­ pany occupies two floors in the huge General Motors building, and is rated as one of the biggest advertising agencies in the world. . Thursday evening most of the pub­ lishers and their families were guests of the management of the Fox thea­ tre, where an excellent performance was being staged. Friday morning buses from the General Motors proving grounds near ... Milford, called at the hotel for the vis-* • tors and carried them to the proving*, grounds where they were taken first to the auditorium and shown a mov­ ing picture of the various sources of supply of the material which goes in­ to the making of automobiles, and showed the various plants of the Gen­ eral Motors Corporation all over the world where motor vehicles are being built. Following the pictures, the crowd of more than two hundred was escorted to the corporation’s dining room where their cooks and waitress­ es proceeded to place tne company at the head of the list with menu and service. A wonderful luncheon was served. After luncheon the publishers were divided into groups and taken for tours of the buildings and grounds, those going through the buildings walking, and 'those seeing the grounds going by bus. Practical­ ly every drive on the 1200 acres of proving grounds was traversed, -and almost all the buildings and depart­ ments of their several million dollar plants were Bpened to the newspaper men and women. Both going to the proving grounds anu returning seven buses were em­ ployed in conveying the crowd. . A novel experience for newspaper men was the method used in conveying the fleet of buses. By special arrange­ ment with the police department of the city of Detroit, motor-cycle “cops’’ were ahead and in the rear of the fleet, and the procession was given the right-of-way over every vehicle on the streets. With police whistles blowing continually all the way out and back, traffic stood aside while the Michigan, publishers strutted their stuff. Red signal lights meant nothing to these country pen-wielders as the motor­ cop forced his way through with the buses right at his heels. In spite of the “close" ones which resulted from this ignoring of traffic signals, not an accident resulted and the out-state visitors got a real thrill. It was the first time they ever ran a red light without getting "bawled” out for it. Friday evening the visitors were guests of Manager J. E. Frawley of the Hotel Fort Shelby at a splendid dinner in one of the hotel’s dining rooms. Talent from WJR furnished entertainment during the dinner.

Moscow.—A pretty and precociously clever girl of sixteen. Zoe Pavlova, who murdered her best friend for tbe “thrill" of it, was the protagonist of a strange tragedy of twisted emotion played out to a tragic finish in a Leningrad high schouL The grewsome story was spread on record at a trial recently, at tbe con­ clusion of which Zoe was sentenced to ten years' Imprisonment and her accomplice, Zlnalde Ivanova, to three years. In view of their youthfulness and their apparently sincere repent­ ance, the court reduced -these terms to five and two years, respectively. “My life was gray und tedious.” Zoe, explained at the trial in recounting “the origin of tbe crime. "1 thirsted for strong experiences, for deep emo­ tions." Signed in Blood. She decided to draw Anna Zhukova, her best friend and an exceptionally attractive girl. Into her schemes for making life more stimulating. To­ gether they Induced a boy one year their senior, George Lensky, to join them. They banded themselves Into a trio of “avengers,* pledged to stop at nothing In their quest of joy and thrill. The pledge was embodied In a formal oath which all three signed with their own blood. To prove their earnestness they agreed that they most commit at least one mqrder by October, 1028. To Anna and George all of It was^ exciting play-acting, a new game. But not for Zoe. Her diary, read Into the records, reveals how she was stirred by tbe Idea of'taking human life. In? cldentally. that diary stood as proof of tbe girl’s unusual literary talents. A boy by the name of Smirnoff was picked as the first victim. He wns well dressed, "wlUi rings on his fin­ gers.” and, therefore, to the childish conspirators a fit subject for murder and loot. In accordance with Zoe’s in­ structions. Smirnoff was lured to a schoolroom. He was elaborately flat­ tered and entertained and made a little drynk. Then Zoe brought in the ax with which he was to be decapi­ tated. At this point Anna and George quit the game. Possibly they lust nerve; possibly they had never seriously In­ tended to go through with it. Zoe was furious. Little did her friend dream that In saving Smirnoff she was sealing her own doom. In that moment of frustration Zoe decided that Anna must pay with bei own life for such cowardice and treachery. George, she felt, wns unduly under Anna’s Influence and therefore not culpable. Perhaps, too. jealousy on account of this power of Anna over George entered Into her feelings, though she denied it at tbe trial. Finds an Accomplice. In search of an acct^npllce, Zoe discovered Zlnalde. a classmate whose face had been disfigured by an acci­ dent as a child. Zlnalde was flattered by the sudden attentions of the bril­ liant Zoe and became passionately at­ tached to her. In the meantime Zoe continued her friendship with Anna as though no murderous plans were in her mind. Skillfully, week utter week, Zoe stirred her new friend to a fury of jealousy and hatred against her old friend. The ugly, disfigured Zlnalde began to look upon pretty and viva­ cious Anna as a kind of symbol of all her own misery. She was a fit lieu­ tenant to Zoe when the fatal evening arrived. Zoe's parents were away, and the three girls gathered to chat Inevi­ tably ■ quarrel developed between Anna and Zlnalde. This was tbe sig nal for a combined attack on Anna. They beat her skull In with a marble candlestick, and when life persisted tried to finish by stabbing her in the throat with a pair of scissors. When this, did not suffice, they used a press­ ing ifon. The demonnlc job took them an hour. “When It was over,” Zoe told the court, “I felt relieved—as if a weight bad been lifted from my spirit. My unnatural craving foi human blood had been satisfied.” The two girls carried the body to the attic and agreed tc mset next day with knives and axes to cut it into tiny bits. Anna's absence from home had been covered up by a clever alibi in which It was made to appear that she-had run away from Leningrad. But when Zlnalde reached home she could not restrain her excitement. She confessed to her alder sister, who immediately told the [>ollce. Tbe two girls were arrested and with them also George Lensky.

Scarcity of candidates for the Nash­ ville board of education almost caus­ ed a serious situation in the annual school meeting Monday evening when ballot after ballot was taken without a choice being made. The occasion was selection of a successor to F. K. Nelson, president of the board, whose term expired with the closing of the school year. After perhaps a half-dozen ballots had been taken Dr. E. T. Morris was finally elected, his name having polled the most votes from the very start, but lacked enough for a choice until several ballots had been taken. Ab­ sence of Dr. Morris from the village led to much speculation as to whether he would accept, but voters persisted in making him their choice.

THURSDAY, BEAUTY A COMMUNITY ASSET. There are three phases of commun­ ity development—commercial, indus­ trial and residential. The normal community directs its development through all three lines and the third suffices for the suburban colony, but no center of population can afford to neglect that third department of com­ munity growth. Because the city, town or village is primarily a place in which one can find comfort and happiness, that com­ munity fails to accomplish Its first purpose when it neglects the residen­ tial for the Industrial and commer­ cial. Does Nashville appreciate the value of attractive homes and beautiful res­ idential sections as a community as­ set, and is it taking the fullest ad­ vantage of its possibilities In this di­ rection? It should be a place of which the toprist will say ,"I would like to live here." Is it? Man, in common with the lower an­ imals, builds his home where he finds his food, it is true, but because he is a “higher animal" he discriminates between two places equally provident in mere sustenance. So the commun­ ity that would attract homemakers must have more to offer than just em­ ployment One way to build Nashville in size and prosperity is to strengthen its claim to the titles of "the city beautl. ful" and the "city of homes." LITTLE COMPETITION. One of America’s most successful mpn, out of cynicism or hard experi­ ence, has said that only one man in 50 renders intelligent service. Anoth­ er industrial leader has even less faith in man as a beast of burden for he contends that there are 99 who lack intelligent enthusiasm and a sincere desire to serve, to every one that is eager and ambitious, conscientious and courageous. If it is true that the average work­ er is a clock-watcher, duty-dodger and is otherwise inefficient incompetent, that knowledge is worth money to NOXIOUS WEEDS NOTICE.

During the summer vacation per­ iods of his college term he wrestled trunks at the resort hotels on Macki­ nac island. It was at Mackinac Is­ land. Higbee met S. W. Barker, then an attorney practicing in Grand Rap­ ids, and was influenced Into coming here. As Higbee relates the story of that meeting. Baker was giving an informal speech in the hotel lobby on the' Philippine Islands question. He had just asked'why the United States should not get out of the island when Higbee, toting' a huge trunk, came within hearing, distance. Answered Question. Being young and bumptious, Higbee took the question literally, set the trunk down, and answered the ques­ tion with what he thought were sev­ eral perfectly good reasons. Barker. | interested, asked Higbee to look him up when he was through school. tn 1916, after having graduated from the University of Michi­ gan, Higbee came to Grand Rapids and went to work as a law clerk in Barker s office^. In 1907 he was apCdnted assistant city attorney under uses Taggait, father of Granson Taggart, present city attorney. He was in that position for three and a half years. When Chase S. Osborn was cam­ paigning for governor, Higbee gain­ ed bis acquaintance through campaign work. Osborn became interested in the youug attorney, and in 1911 ap­ pointed him to succeed Judge Harry D. Jewell, who had resigned as pro­ bate judge of Kent county. He took office in 1912. At first there was much antago­ nism and dissatisfaction over the ap­ pointment of an unknown* attorney, just 28 years old. to this office. He was the youngest judge in the state at that time. Hignee has more than justified Governor Osborn's foresight, 3 pkgs. however in the 16 consecutive years he has held office. In that time he has established himself as one of the foremost probate judges in the coun­ try through his study of child wel­ fare, mental disorders and humin na­ 8 oz. can ture in general. • In June, 1916, Judge Higbee, "a member of the machine gun company of the 32nd Michigan National Guard outfit, was called to the Mexican bor­ Lg. can Extra Fancy, Halves. der with his company. He served six months on the border as a first ser­ geant. Although the county super­ visors voted to reimburse him for the expense of hiring another judge to 3 bars take his place, Higbee refused to al­ low the county to foot the bill, which amounted to >1,200.

FARMER The Undersigned Business and Professional Men of Nashville Invite You to Visit the SOILS LABORATORY CAR Here The car will be located on a switch near the M. C. depot for 3 hours and we cordially urge you to call during this per­ iod. Your county agent, Mr. Rood, has assured us that the state experts will have valuable information for every farmer., Your interests are also ours, so we’re going to look for you and hope you see fit to bring in soil samples to be tested by these experts from Michigan State College. This service is free of charge. Why not use it? Nashville is the last stop this car will make during a fiveday stay in Barry county. Luckily, the time here is in the evening when every farmer can find time to visit the car. Every arrangement will be made to test the soil you may bring in and answer'the questions you may have to ask concerning soil treatment. It’s an excellent opportunity to get authoritative information about fertilizers for your particular farm. • County Agent Paul Rood is responsible for getting this car into the county this year. He is especially anxious to have you visit it. Meet him there. Below is a picture of the interior of the car while the “soil doctors” are in action. Here they are testing various soil samples preparatory to telling the soil owner just what fertilizers will best answer the need of his land. This in­ formation will be given while the car is here. The picture above shows the Soils Laboratory Car of the New York Central Lines and the crew of/‘Soil Doctors” who will be in Nashville Friday evening, July 12 to test samples of soil for farmers who will bring them to the train. The use of limestone is recognized as the basic operation in the building up and maintaining of soil fer­ tility and since soil fertility is the basis of profitable farming, no other operation has a bigger factor upon farm prosperity than the use of limestone. At each stop a written prescription will be given after the soil experts have carefully diagnosed the ills of the fanners’ soil. In taking this sample of soil County Agent Rood requests that samples be taken from several places in the field and that they are not mixed before bringing to the train. It is also ad­ visable to bring a sample of sub-soil at a depth of from one to two feet along with the surface soil. Place in clean cans or paper bags and mark carefully so that there will be no mistake in the report. The natural moisture content of the soil is the best so it is advisable to go out and collect the soil just before coming to town if possible, provided it has not rained heavily just before. Mr. Rood asks that any samples of marl be brought in for testing for its purity content. . Marl is found quite extensively in Bar­ ry county and has a big place in Barry county’s liming program. • Again We Invite You to Come to Nashville on Friday Ev ening, July 12, 6:00 to 9:00 p. m.

Stockholders of th,e Farmers & Merchants Bank will meet Tuesday afternoon. July 23. at four o'clock, while those of the State Savings bank will meet in the evening of the same day. Consolidation of the two local banks, if effected, will see the with­ drawal of two long-established and .reliable financial institutions in favor I of one larger and stronger banking business. Present plans, which must be ratified by at least two-thirds of the stock in each institution, call for removal to the banking building of the Farmers & Merchants bank, a change in name- to the Nashville State Bank, joining of the capital of the two banks which amounts to $65,000, decrease in the personnel now employed .and general economies in the operation of one bank in place of two. Stock in the new bank will be issuea share for share for the holdings of stockholders in the old Institutions. That the plans which will be pre­ sented to stockholders at their meet­ ings on July 23, will meet with their approval is confidently expected by the directors of noth banks who have been working out the merger plans for several weeks. Culmination of the merger is expected to take place about the middle of August if the stockholders are favorably inclined. Consolidation of the two banks fol­ lows a long period of years of successful operation. The Farm­ ers A Merchants Bank Is the older of the two. having been organiz­ ed In 1889, or forty years ago.

Smith Is the only one of the original directors who is still serving on the board. Mr. Beebe, the first president, held office for only a short time and G. A. Truman was elected in his place. Mr. Truman held the office until Idll when C. L. Glasgow was elected to the bank's presidency, and continues in that capacity. C. A.

Arrangements nave been completed to have the famous Kellogg band of Battle Creek render another of the civic concerts in Hastings, Sunday, July 21st, from 5:30 to 7:00 ' p. m.. Eastern Standard time. This brines to mind the appearance made by this organization In Hastings the Sth of last August, at which time the band was in attendance to fur­ nish a splendid concert. The band, unaer the able direction of C. H. Denman and J. P. Upton, was organized about six years ago. Each year it has become increasingly pro­ ficient until today thru the untiring efforts of these men and individual members of the band, it has become one of the outstanding organizations of its kind to the country. The bandsmen have neen hard at work during the part few weeks on special musical arrangements for This con­ cert. , Requests have been received from many Michigan Cities, also from cities from bordering states, requesting the services of the band. Due to the short­ ness of the concert season which ex­ tends thru only twb or three months it -.s impossible to comply with so many requests. Hastings in particu­ lar is fortunate in receiving such prior consideration. It Is a distinct pleas­ ure for the Kellogg Company to f*jrnlsn the services of the band in view of the splendid attendance and recep­ tion accorded it during its past trip to Hastings. This band played to approximately 500.000 people last year and this year has made appearances in St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, Jackson, Coldwater. Battle Creek. Lansing and Hillsdale. A* .li'iia the band headed the an­ nual blossom week parade Maj’ 11 th. Later it was a feature of the *U. C. T. convention at Jackson, and the Knights of Templars Convention at Benton Harbor.

State Fair (continued from page 1.) a military unit since 1904, a year af­ ter the formation of the Canadian branch of the famous Scotch regi­ ment to which it is attached. Its uni­ form is one of the most picturesque of Highland costumes, the tartan being that of the renowned Argyll and Suth­ erland clan. It has played before the present king and queen of England and previously when these rulers were still the Duke and Duchess of Corn­ wall and York; before many other English and Canadian notables: at the peace conferences at Niagara Falls in 1912 and Fort Erie in 1913, and at all leading Canadian expositions. It was on a 10.000 mile tour of the United States and Canada in 1914 when the war broke out. The band cancelled all engagements and offered itself for service overseas, where it was made the Overseas Staff Band of Canada. Since 1918 the "Kilties” have had a remarkable revival and are function­ ing 100 per cent effective again after the crippling and exhaustive effects of the war. Its . director is Capt. Harry Stares, the first bandmaster in Can­ ada to be awarded a Bachelor of Mu­ sic degree, afid who has led it ever since its military beginnings. Just how difficult a task it was for the Michigan State Fair management to obtain assurance of the band's, coming is shown by the laborous ef­ forts entailed, involving finally the American and Canadian governments. When the invitation to come to Mich­ igan was received, permission was asked of headquarters of its regiment, the 91st Argyll & Sutherland High­ landers (Princess Louise’s). In turn the regiment sought approval from its . military district commander who re­ layed the message to Dominion de­ fence headquarters at Ottawa. The latter then negotiated with the gov­ ernment at Washington for approval of the band's visit into American ter­ nary * k UB4 se&N WORLP ■HMNtS PLA^BA.

Administrator, RACQUETBeft) Soft Wheat Brings Premium on Market We always have a complete stock of Gen­ uine Eastman’s Films in fresh new stock. WANT COLUMN Michigan growers of soft, white wheat will find encouragement in the statement from the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture that a reduction of the winter wheat crop makes it probable that the price for this class of grain will be well maintained in comparison with that of other classes of wheat. White winter wheat is the most im­ portant class of wheat grown in Mich­ igan. according to members of the farm crops, department at Michigan State College, and it is used for pas­ try flour, cracker flour, and for break­ fast food products. Tbe premium in price paid for pure white wheat dpring the past six months has been as high as six cents a bushel. The desirability of this class of wheat has induced Michigan millers to encourage production by planning to trade excellent white seed ! wheat bushel for bushel for the ordi- • nary wheat grown by patrons of their The College farm crops department says that there is no substitute for soft white wheat and that its price is less subject to depression than the price for hard, bread cheats. The ’ domestic demand for nastrv flour*1 makes a ready market for the type of wheat commonly grown in Mii-pu. Last year's average prices for soft wheat on the St. Louis market aver­ aged 20 cents per bushel more than the san.e grade of hard wheat. This was due to a scarcity of soft wheat.

Total The usual Interest centers around the bean industry in Michigan at this time of the year as the growing crop attracts the eye of the observer trav­ eling through the State’s farming dis­ tricts. For several decades the State has devoted more acreage to and pro­ duced more bushels of beans than any other state according to a statement from the. office of the Federal-State Cooperative Crop Reporting Service. It leads again this year with 646,000 acres, its nearest competitor, Califor­ nia, reporting only 291,000 acres. Oth­ er leading states are: Colorado with 278.000, New Mexico with 210,000, New York with 100,'000, Idaho with 92,000, Montana with 49,000, and Wy­ oming with 22,000 acres. Thus, Mich­ igan's acreage is'37 per cent of the total for the entire country. The combined planted area in all states amounts to 1,737,000 acres, which is a gain of 10 per cent over last year’s harvested acreage and 12 per cent, ov­ er .the average of the previous five years. . The condition Is normal or above in the eastern and central states but is somewhat below the average in the western states due to a late season and lack of moisture. The present outlook, if maintained to the end of the season would give a total produc­ tion of 18,223.000 bushels. This is 1.593.000 bushels more than produced in 1928 and 1,165,000 bushels more than the average for the preceding [ five years. With an almost complete clean-up of stocks from last year, such a production seems well justified and should not lower prices to an un­ i profitable level. However, an estimate I of production on July 1 may vary con­ siderably from the final results ac­ cording as weather conditions during the remainder of the season are better I or worse than average.

BLAZE ONFESTIVEDAYS ONLY SMALL PORTION OF FURN­ ITURE SAVED AS FIRE SWEEPS THROUGH DWELLING. The Wxa. Savage farm residence four iriiles southeast of Nashville was completely burned last Saturday morning when fire started, presuma­ bly, from a defect in a chimney. The Nashville fire department was called but by the time they arrived on the scene the house was too far gone to save it so their efforts were turned to saving outbuildings with the result that the residence was the only build­ ing of the group which burned. According to information received from members of the family fire was kindled in both the kitchen and living room stoves because of the unusually cool morning. A short time later smoke was smelled and when the stair door was opened the second story was so filled with smoke that it was impossible to get upstairs. Miss Alta Austin, who was employed in the home, gave the alarm and she. with neighbors, assisted Mrs. Savage, who is an invalid, to a place of safety. Furniture from the living room and one bedroom downstairs was carried out but nothing from the kitchen and upstairs rooms was saved. Articles in the upstairs rooms Included the en­ tire wardrobe of Miss Austin and she was left-with nothing but the clothes she wore from the house. Mr. Sav­ age was not at home through any of the fire, he being employed at the stockyards assisting in shipping stock for the Co-Ops. Partial insurance was carried on tne burned dwelling. $800 was car­ ried on the house and contents. For­ tunately, the wind was from the east and carried the flames to the south of the barn which was filled with new hay. Several times smaller outbuild­ ings and a straw stack caught fire but chemical from the Nashville truck kept these from getting much of a start. Slow But Sure Wins Egg Laying Contest HENS MUST START EARLY AND KEEP GOING TO LEAD IN YEARLY PRODUCTION RACE. A hen owned by the Munja Garden Poultry farms. Bangor, has laid an egg each day for the last 105 days in the egg laying contest being conduct­ ed at Michigan State College but this bird is not among the 10 high hens for production in the contest The egg laying race began last No­ vember and the best producer at the last report was a ben owned by Geo. H. Freeman, Middletown, Ohio, which has laid 22% eggs. A new system of bookkeeping which compels a hen to put in a full day's work by laying a full sized egg cuts down the honors given to this bird because when points are awarded by the weight system the Freeman hen is .not the leader. The -manager of the contest states that buyers pay a lower price for un­ dersized eggs and that the reason for laying contests is to encourage the breeding of high producing fowls which w*ill lay the type of eggs in de­ mand by consumers. Michigan poultry breeders have six of the high 10 birds as scored by the weight system, and the other five places are held by hens from Wash­ ington, Wisconsin. Illinois and Cali­ fornia. White Leghorns are in first place among the breeds for average produc­ tion, single comb Rhode Island Reds are second, and Barred Rocks third. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Furniss left this (Wednesday) morning for Los An­ geles, Calif., for a visit with their son. Louis C.. and family. Mr. and Mix. Furniss will go via Santa Fe and re­ turn via Canadian Pacific.

New Harvester Head "Sorry, sir, but we’ll have to tag your car." "Why, what have I done now?" "Nothing, perhaps, but the law says we must tag your car anyway." “But isn't my car parked all right?" "Maybe, but you’ll have to come to town on the 8th, 9th and 10th." "What! Have to attend court three days?” ' "Well, you'll have to be in town at least.” * "Oh, my gosh!" With which last expression the un­ wary motorist gives up in despair while Seth Zemer walks to the front of his car or truck and pastes on a Nashville Harvest Festival sticker. So far the motorists have taken it good naturedly and promised to be in town on those three days, probably so thankful.it Isn’t a court summons that he'll come because of sheer gratitude. Apd that’s fine way the stickers have been distributed. Another is a demand among autoists for the stick-, era to help advertise the annual fun and frolic. More than three hundred cars are now bearing the labels that say the Nashville festival will be held here on August 8. 9, and 10. COMMITTEES GETTING RESULTS, ENTERTAINMENT BOOKED, MONEY RAISED. The big parade is getting under way. The committee appointed a ago by President Seth I. Zemer of the Harvest Festival boosters have been doing their stuff and reports coming in show that the.results have justified the appointments. The finance com­ mittee reports approximately the same amount of money raised this year as last, which will be sufficient to Eiut on an equally good program to a arger crowd. Entertainment is be­ ing booked by the committee in charge of this particular item and the kiddies arc assured the usual rides, such as the merry-go-round, ferris wheel, ponies, etc. Other concessions are being booked daily. There will be hot dog stands aplenty. There will be ice cream, ice cold (?) lemonade, pop, and other soft drirfks for those who suffer with the heat. And there will be plenty of warm eats for those who chill during the three days of fun and frolic. , , The sports committee is busy rounding up candidates for the run­ ning and swimming races, and per­ haps there might be a three-legged race, a wheelbarrow race, an egg or potato race, etc., for the young and frisky.

Schulze Will Take Hogs To Fairs in State Pigs—J.ittle pigs, big pigs, great big pigs—but all O. L C. pigs, are to be seen in large lumbers at the farm of (Otto B. Schulze, west of town, where some of the choicest models of walk­ ing pork are being groomed for show­ ing at fairs about the state this fall. About seventy-five of the best porkera it has been the privilege of a rep­ resentative of the News to lay eyes on, may be seen there. In a special showing accorded us re­ cently Mr. Schulze caused practically every one of those porkers to parade before us In a display of hams and shoulders the like of which we had never seen before. They range in size from the pigs that have just been weaned to the five, a’x and seven hun­ dred pounders. Mr. Schulze is planning on taking his best hogs to the free fair at Ionia in a couple of weeks and from there will go to the Detroit fair later in the fall. For twenty-five years Mr. Schulze has been in the hog-raising and show business. In that time he has travel­ ed to various show places in the mid­ dle western and eastern states, start­ ing out with a display at the WilkesBarre. Pa., show. He has been as far west as Springfield. HL In every showing he has carried away winners’ ribbons, sometimes in every class in which he has shown, and his herd has become known to hog breeders all ov­ er the country. As a result of his showings and the excellent quality of his stock he has shipped hogs for breeding purposes over a large area. In recounting his experiences in the hog raising business—and with him it is a business—Mr. Schulze recalls that all has not been ’.rosy,” even for him. Shortly after he bad entered the bus­ iness of raising hogs for show cholera invaded his herd of show stock and before it bad spent Itself $3,000 of his best hogs had fallen victims to it. However, this did not stop his aSpitations to raise prize-winning stock and he recuperated his losses with more hogs, has followed his original plans, and today has one of the most outstanding herds of Ohio Improved Chesters to be found in the country. In fact, it is worth anyone’s time, if they are at all interested in seeing blooded stock, to visit Mr. Schulze’s hog yards and look over his excellent prise entries. AN EGG WORTH WHILE. Montgomery, Ala-., July 25.—S. O. Armstrong owns a white Wyandotte hen thzff has set a new high mark. She laid an enormous egg twice the weight and size of an ordinary hen's egg. Breaking It, Armstrong discov­ ered another completely formed egg on the inside. The outer egg was per­ fect in every respect except that the yolk was missing. The inner egg had a shell of darker color but was none the less firm and contained a yolk. A freak bolt of lightning on Wed­ nesday morning struck a shock of rye on the farm of F. H. and L. L. Moore east of Nashville, burning the shock of rye and nothing else. The shock stood less than ten rods from the Moore barn. The storm which carried the light­ ning bolt struck Nashville and vicin­ ity shortly after five o’clock in the morning and-it was during the heav­ iest downpour of rain that the shock of rye was struck and burned. That it should strike the rye and not the nearby barn was a lucky accident for the Moore brothers. STOCKHOLDERS 0. K. MERGER OF LOCAL BANKS ON TUESDAY ANOTHER MONTH OR MORE WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE CONSOLIDATION WILL TAKE EFFECT. Successful conclusion of the pro­ posed bank rperger of the Farmers & Merchants and State Savings Banks of Nashville, was assured Tuesday af­ ternoon and evening when stockhold­ ers of the two banks, meeting in the banks' offices voted to approve the merger. The Farmers & Merchants bank stockholders met in the after­ noon and 313 of the 350 shares of stock were voted for the merger. In the evening the State Savings stock­ holders voted 230 out of their 300 shares for the merger. Two-thirds of the stock was necessary to carry the project. . Just when the merger will be com­ pleted Is doubtful, although it is ex­ pected to be culminated the last of August or middle of September. Merger of the Nashville banks, coming on the heels of several weeks of meetings of both boards of direc­ tors. while approved by the stock­ holders of both banks, is the outcome of recommendations of the state bank­ ing department and is being carried out under the supervision of this de­ partment. State officials have been keeping in touch with developments in the proposed merger plans, and it is the belief of both the department and local officials that when complet­ ed the one bigger and stronger bank will be able to give Nashville better service than has been possible hereto­ fore.

Since Saturday the local elevator has been swamped with wheat. The extremely dry weather since cutting has dried the shocked grain so that threshing was started almost Immed­ iately after cutting. Many farmers had trucks hauling directly from the machine to elevator, making the lat­ ter a rather busy place the last few days. 1540 bushels of wheat were receiv­ ed at the local elevator on Tuesday. All of it is of excellent quality, accord­ ing to Manager Earl Olmstead, of the elevator. Dairying is Given Program Spotlight DEDICATION OF COLLEGE DAIRY BARN WILL BE FARMERS DAY EVENT AUGUST 2. A special program, with the dedica­ tion of the new dairy barn as a fea­ ture, has been arranged for Michigan dairymen on Farmers Day at Michi­ gan State College. Friday, August 2. A. G. Glover, editor of Hoard’s Dairyman, Fort Atkinson. Wisconsin, will be the principal speaker on the afternoon general program and he will also talk after the dairyman’s banquet that evening. Professor O. EL Reed, chief of the bureau'of dairying, Washington, D. C„ will be one of the banquet speakers, and prominent dairymen of the State will give talks.

The dairyman’s banquet will be held in the new dairy barn at 6.30 p. m. Advertised by Bell Crop of Lamb* Telephone Company Smaller in 1929 Than Last Year Attention is being directed to Mich­ igan as a vacation land, id a series of advertisements of the Michigan Bell Telephone Company, published in 250 newspapers and magazines of the state, according to J. E. McElwain, the company’s manager in this area. The first advertisement of the series, carrying an illustration of Detroit's sky line, appear In today's issue of this paper. A great part of Michigan’s annual tourist business is derived from visit­ ors from other states, hundreds of Michigan residents being inclined to spend their vacations elsewhere. The purpose of the Telephone Company’s vacation series of advertisements- is to acquaint Michigan people with the beauty spots of their own state, and to induce them to take advantage of the vacationing opportunities close at home. It is the belief of the officials of the Michigan Bell Company, Mr. McElwain says, that this state has recreational possibilities far beyond those of any other region readily ac­ cessible to Michigan residents with the average two weeks’ holiday peri­ od. The second advertisement of the series will be devoted to picturesque and historic Mackinac Island and vi­ cinity, the mecca of thousands of vis­ itors annually. Others of the six ad­ vertisements will feature other sec­ tions that abound in scenic interest and that add to Michigan’s fame as a natural playground. A series of sim­ ilar advertisements was sponsored by the company last year and was the subject of much favorable comment. Over a period of about two years, .the Michigan Bell Company has directed attention to more than 40 of the prin­ cipal cities of the state, in a series of “Know Michigan” window displays shown on Washington boulevard. De­ troit, where the exhibits have been viewed by many thousands olS people. Each display described the subject city, its natural advantages, indus­ tries, products and schools, churches and other institutions. Manager McElwain states that, to accommodate the increasing numbers of tourists in Michigan, the Tele{ihone Company nas augmented its orces and has installed additional fa­ cilities at many points, part of a con­ tinuing program of expansion. Mrs. Margaret Shilling, and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Bowers and son of Detroit called on former friends in the village Wednesday of last week. It will be of interest to their many friends here to learn that the Bower family, with whom Mrs . Shilling makes her home, are moving to New York City. Mrs. Shilling will accom­ pany them. Mr. Bowers is connected with the Curtis Publishing Company in the “Food Advertising’’ depart­ ment. The Michigan lamb crop of 1929 was about two per cent smaller than the crop of 1928 according to a report issued today by Herbert E. Powell, commissioner of agriculture, and Verne H. Church, agricultural statis­ tician for the Michigan Co-operative Crop Reporting Service. The 1929 crop was. however, more than four per cent larger than that of 1927. The indications show 854,000 head of lambs for 1929, 869,000 for 1928, and 818,000 for 1927. The number of lambs saved per hundred head of ewes one year old nnd over January 1 was 97.9 for 1929 and 102.2 for 1928. This decrease in number of lambs saved more than offsets the increase of three per cent in the number of breeding ewes re­ ported for the state this year. The United States lamb crop was one per cent smaller than a year ago, but seven per cent larger than for 1927. The number of lambs saved per hundred head of ewes was 83.1 in 1929 and 89.2 in 1928. The Increase of six per cent in number of breeding ewes reported for the entire country was insufficient to offset this reduction in the number of iambs saved. The smaller lamb crop this year for the country as a whole was due to the decrease in the western sheep states. Here the reduction amounted to three per cent or 60,000 head as compared with an increase of four per cent or 300,000 head in the native sheep states. The largest decreases in the western states were in Wyoming. Utah. Nevada, and Oregon. The larg­ est increases in native sheep states were in North Dakota. Minnesota, Ohio and West Virginia. Available information indicates that lamb losses after docking in some of the western states were considerably, larger this year than last, and that the decrease in lambs raised in these states will be more than the decrease in the lamb crop as estimated. Information as to the lamb crop is based upon returns from reports se­ cured by rural carriers about June 1. In the western lamb states this has been supplemented by actual estimat-; es of the number of lambs docked, based upon reports from large num­ bers of range sheep owners. Mr. and Mrs. Archie Calkins and son spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. Ernest VanNocker, in Lansing. Mr. and Mrs. E. Northrup and Don­ na, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hagadone and two children of Kalamazoo Lave returned from their camping trip, af­ ter spending one day at East Lansing, one day at Grand Ledge, Lake Odes­ sa, Reed's Laks, two nights at Covert Park on Lake Michigan, one night each at St. Joe, Paw Paw.

While driving onto M-79 from the north, just west of Merritt Mead's home. Sunday, S. E. Powers had a “near collision” with one of our good Morganites. S. E., his wife, and their guest were out for a little drive, and were admiring Will Hyde's wheat that lay on the west side of the road. In fact, their admiration was so great, especially Serol's. that he clean for­ got to stop, look or listen, when he came to the main road. Well, another car. headed west on the main road saw him, and swung to the south, headed for the ditch, to avoid the Powers car. Then suddenly deciding that the ditch on the north was by far the best, changed their course, and landed in the ditch. Luckily no one was injured—mustn’t say hurt— 'cause their feelin’s were hurt, and who would blame 'em. But Serol has agreed to pay for any damage done to the car. likewise to take the blame, so it’s probably up to Will Hyde to be more careful of the wheat he raises and make it less attractive. - Reynard and Mrs. Clarence Shaw at the former’s home.

North Irish Street Battle Creek Division Spinach «RfM 59c Howard City, Mich., July 25.— “Dairying or some other branch of livestock production is the flower of the Keystone Rotation" said 'B. O. Hagerman. Agricultural Agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad, who was here today planning for the annual Field Day which will be staged on August 8th. The Demonstration Farm sponsored by the Pennsylvania Railroad to dem­ onstrate that sandy soils can be prof­ itably operated, is located two miles north of here on U. S. 13L Some years ago the management started to develop a dairy herd com­ mencing In a practical way with a purebred sire, one purebred cow and two grade Guernsey heifers, and grad­ ually working into purebreds. Today after a lapse of only a very few years, this herd presents one of the most unusual object lessons to be found anywhere in Michigan. Penna I was one of the foundation grade heifera. The best year she ev­ er saw was as a four year old when she produced 280 pounds of butterfat, according to cow testing association records. Penna II is a daughter of Penna I. sired by Earl of Michigan, a purebred Guernsey bred at the state game farm at Mason, Michigan. After the narnow miss of being sold because the stalls were full, this heifer came thru her flrat year as a two year old w*th the very unusual record of 447.1 pounds of butterfat. The practical value of cow testing association records in assisting farm­ ers in better breeding, better feeding and culling of their herds is exempli­ fied by the fact that in 1926, cow test­ ing association records on this herd showed an average fat production of 281.1 pounds whereas in the year end­ ing April 1. 1929, the herd average was 365.1 pounds of butter. This is an increase of 30 percent In three yean. The old bull, Earl of Michigan, with his six outstanding daughters will be for inspection and observation on Au­ gust 8. Four of them already have an average fat production of 414 pounds of butterfat.

LACK OF WATER FORCED FIRE­ MEN TO FIGHT AT DISADVAN­ TAGE IN SAVING OTHER BUILDINGS. Loss of .more than a thousand dol­ lars over the amount of his insurance is estimated by A. J. Hollister, whose barn was burned to the ground Friday night. Nothing was saved from the burning building which contained 12 big loads of hay, his automobile, about fifty bushels of oats and 25 crates of corn. Mr. and Mrs. Hollister were pre­ paring to retire when Mrs. Hollister saw the fire gaining headway in the east end of the barn. Mr. Hollister was called but the blaze had made such headway that help was called im­ mediately. The Nashville fire depart­ ment went to the farm home, which is just inside the village limits, and with the use of chemicals and what water was in the cisterns at the HolUster and Brumm homes, the latter nearby, were able to keep another barn which is located within a few feet of the burned building, from burning. Intense heat caused the sec­ ond barn to catch fire but hickily fire­ men were able to put it out before it spread. ' Lack of water was a serious handi­ cap. Plenty of it would have saved most of the barn and its contents, no doubt. Without it flrepien were helpless in their efforts to save the building which burned. • Partial insurance was carried on the barn and contents. The former car­ ried a coverage of $350 and the con­ tents was insured for $100. What started the fire is a question. While it might have started from a short circuit in the car. Mr. Hollister is of the belief that overheated hay In the loft is more likely to have been the cause.

With the announcement that Kellogg’s band, of Battle Creek, will headline the music feature for the three days enthusiasm took another jump up­ ward and that which was thought im­ possible has been accomplished. Pa­ trons and visitors to the festival can rest assured that the best in music is being prepared for their benefit The Kellogg band is no cheap aggregation. They have traveled all over the United States in concert tours \which have been sponsored by civic organizations tn almost every city of note. Only two weeks ago they gave a concert on the court house lawn in Hastings, which was attended by a large num­ ber of people from this vicinity who pronounced them an excellent organi­ zation of talented musicians. They will play all three days of the festival. giving a concert in the evening as well. Musical features will not be con­ fined to the Kellogg Band. While some folks prefer band music, there will be a large number who will pre­ fer vocal, and all will enjoy both. With that in mind the music commit­ tee has been busy the past week dig­ ging up a diversity of talent. They have been rewarded by the booking of Brocato’s saxophone quartet of Kala­ mazoo, which will play every after­ noon and evening. The Brocato Nov­ elty orchestra will also play for danc­ ing at the Nashville Club auditorium each evening. They have also booked a singing organization. On Friday af­ ternoon the Olympia Colored Jubilee Quartette will appear in a concert as a part of the free entertainment. Sat­ urday evening the entire Olympia or­ ganization. composed of 15 colored singers, both men and women, will give a vocal concert. These singers, who come from Battle Creek, have been reputed to be one of the fore­ most organizations "of their kind on the road. They have given upward of seventy concerts ip various localities and the music committee feels thay have been fortunate in securing them for the festival program. In addition to the musical treat to be offered, gymnastic fans are to be treated to one of the outstanding free tumbling and wire walking acts on the road. The Upton Whiteside Troupe, of Chicago, which has appear­ ed on the program at the Ionia Free Fair in other years has been booked to dish up the thrillers. They will ap­ pear in three acts each afternoon and evening. They will furnish the laughs, and gain the admiration of all in their aerial performances. . Then there may be some local tal­ ent which would like to appear on the programs and the entertainment com­ mittee is still looking for that talent These should see the committee within the next few days and make ar­ rangements for such appearance. The sports committee has been busy and have booked a pet parade, barrel race, baseball game at Riverside park, a wrestling bout, boxing bouts for boys under 14. for Thursday. On Fri­ day there will be a free for all swim­ ming race for boys and girls at river bridge. There will be diving contests, prizes being offered for the prettiest and also the clumsiest dive. There will be a blind man’s boat race, open to all. In the afternoon there will be a ball game at Riverside park, when Pine Lake plays the local independ­ ents. A boxing bout for boys 14 to 16 years of age will also be staged. And in the evening, on Friday, there will be an elaborate display of fire­ works at Riverside park. Present plans call for one of the most gor­ geous showings of pyrotechnics ever staged in Nashville and everyone will want to see it through. A large sum of money is being spent on this one feature of the program. Saturday will also be a full day. In the morning there is scheduled a hu­ man wheelbarrow race, and a flour­ blowing contest In the afternoon the Independents will play the Colored' Monarchs of Battle Creek In a game at Riverside park. There will be a horseshoe pitching contest, also at the park, and a boxing bout for boys un­ der 20. All of these in addition to the free acts, and if the public isn’t kept busy seeing the entire program it will be because they have been too weak to follow the pace the committees have laid out for them. The instrumental and vocal music wifi be as fret enter­ tainment also. The stage is all set." Before the middle of next week concessions will be on hand setting up their stands and entertainment devices. Thursday morning will open with a band con­ cert by the Kellogg organization and from then on to Saturday night there will be no let-up except for time to eat and sleep. Altogether it assures the best program of entertainment for Nashville and vicinity that this vil­ lage has ever offered. A special request has been mode that those subscribing to the Festival fund see H. B. Andrews, treasurer, and make your payment to him. There will be need for the funds before the close of the festival days. It is also requested that local talent which would 'like to appear on the program get in touch with the enter­ tainment committee. It is composed of E. C. Kraft. C. H. Dahlhouser, Robert E Surine, E. L. Kane and S'.enno Wenger. Large Bam Burned North of Chester A large barn, 36 x 72 feet, togeth­ er with its contents, was burned to the ground late Monday night, two and one-half miles north of Chester, or one mile west of Gresham. The barn was on the farm of A. L. Clem­ ens. According to records of the Barry- & Eaton Fire Insurance Co.. Mr. (Tiemens had the barn insured for $3,000 and the contents for $1,000. Several from Nashville drove over to the fire. Light from the blaze could be readily seen from here and it was believed to be within a few miles— possibly about Vermontville, instead of twelve miles distant. Belief that a firebug was busy in * that neighborhood was being express­ ed Monday night when a farmer liv­ ing about a mile away was said to have come home the evening before and found a pile of cornstalks burn­ ing on the bar nfloor. Rushing to the barn he trampled out the fire. CARNCROSS- ARQUETTE. Miss Gledys Carncross, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Carncross of Nashville and Emery Arquette of To­ ledo, Ohio, were united in marriage on Saturday, July 27, 1929, at Charlotte, by the Rev. S. N. Oliver. They were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Jason Carncross. brother and sister-in-law of the bride. After spending a week at the home of her parents, they left for To­ ledo, where they will reside.

In Lower Peninsula of Michigan $1JO er yean elsewhere in the United tates, $L00 per year. In Canada Some people take their vacation in August because it U usually hot and sultry. Others out of force of habit. Still others because the weather at this time of year is peculiarly favor­ able where they want to spend their two weeks' off. But there is still a fourth group that flees from the world of drudgery in August not out of fear of drudgery, but out of fear of hay fever, that dread malady that afflicts many humans at this time<of year. Hay fever time is just a dawning and the scientists have no comforting words for the victims. The pollen, which is blamed for the nasal irrita­ tion known as hay fever, is expected to fill the air more than usual this year. Bad news for the sufferers. There is no sure cure for this strange, highly discriminatory mala­ dy which fills a fortnight of every year with agonising sneezings, red and smarting eyes .and handkerchief­ busying sniffling for a goodly portion of the population. There are more “cures" than addicts; some give re­ lief to some; none give relief to all; some get relief from nothing. Misery being a lover of company, the afflicted may find solace in the knowledge that the disease is spread­ ing. Students of the subject say It is due to the greater number of people coming with the pollen-laden air thru motoring, hiking, camping and sum­ mering in the country. Heaped upon the physical suffering’ of the hay fever victim is the menta suffering from being made the object of unsympathetic jokes which may seem funny to the immune but which in the opinion of the feverish, is brutal persecution. Sufferings of the afflicted are apparent, yet their tribulations are never taken seriously by otherwise sympathetic neighbors and co-workera. Heaven to the prey of hay fever is the polar region, mid-ocean or some other spot where this summer afflic­ tion is unknown. LEADERSHIP. Leaden are fashioned In part out of rare human stuff and in part out of the needs of their time. Their ca­ pacities are unfolded and enriched by the stress of circumstances, and be­ cause some stream of greatness enters into them, their powers are multiplied for the strengthening and guidance of others. Leaders are in this fashion born rather than made—born of ne­ cessity and opportunity. A man is more than a head and hands. The spirit that animates him. •a complex of the things he loves and the things he knows, reaches out be­ yond him and recreates itself in oth­ ers. For there are spheres of warmth and light around every human soul, which may go forth by mysterious communication to move and sway and motivate the affairs and actions, of others. In small matters we speak of these as affection and personality. In larger environments they become the attributes of leadership. Follow, then, your leaders! Their strength is not alone their own: they are in part the servants of your own Recipe for making Sioney in the powers and purposes. .

Owners of good-sized farms had the best year in 192S since the big farm slump of 1921, according to a Department of Agriculture report. They averaged $1,334 in cash returns against $917 for the low year of 1922. Food raised on the farm and consumed at home was estimated worth an average of $269. The cash returns Included the re­ turn on the labor of the farmer and his family, estimated at an average of $768 at ordinary farm wages. Expenses were higher in 1928 than in 1927, averaging $1,518, the de­ partment found. Increases in income were greatest in the Central States. Reports were received from 11,800 farms averaging 284 acres and repre­ senting an average investment of $15.­ 417. PORT HURON, SARNIA, ST. CLAIR FLATS RUSSELL ISLAND .

National league baseball team with Chuck Klein, sensational home run hitter in the lineup, will meet the se­ lected material from the Kellogg and Postum teams in a game at Postum Park, Battle Creek, Wednesday. Au­ gust 7th, under the auspices- of the Battle Creek Boy Scouts Council. The contract calls for the entire Philadelphia lineup on the field and the presence of the squad of 21 on the players’ bench. Carroll Grimm, manager of the Postum team, will seftect from his own and the Kellogg teams, two of the outstanding independent clubs in Michigan, the material for a Michigan lineup calculated to give (he major leaguers a real contest. This will not be the usual “all star” aggregation but will have the benefit of daily workouts as a club. • Klein, by virtue of 30 home runs to date, is leading all major league home run bitters-to date and is actually "outrunning Ruth". His spectacular rise within a year is an* epic of base­ ball. His three successive home runs recently were such an outstanding feature that he has proven a great magnet to the box office in every Na­ tional league city. • Prices for the game will be a dol­ lar admission with 25 cents extra for grandstand or box seats. Seats may be had at the Boy Scout Headquar­ ters or Central billiard parlors, Bat­ tle Creek. The game will start at 3:30 o'clock, eastern standard time, and will be preceded by a short Sccut demonstration.

Big Party!. Tune in at 8:15 p. m. Friday (Eastern Time) WJR “Every year pUns up more evidence that the Keystone Rotation is the most practical cropping, program yet offered to sand land farmers" said B. O. Hagerman. Agricultural Agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad today after noting the growth of the various crops on .the Demonstration Farm at Howard City. Final plans have been made for the Big Day, August S, when the manage­ ment will be host to the hundreds of interested Michigan farm folks who have said they were .coming "rain or shine” to see what several years of the Keystone Rotation has brought about in the way of crops. Each year the management does in­ tensive work on some special feature which underlies the successful man­ agement of such sandy soils. Prev­ ious years it has been marl, sweet clover and alfalfa, rye and vetch, good dairy cattle, and this year the big noise will be the effect of potash in pepping up the growth of alfalfa, sweet clover and vetch, but alfalfa mainly. Visitors at the farm last year saw the five alfalfa plots, each one fertil­ ized with a little more potash than the one to the east of it. Results from the first cutting of hay made on July 9 will be announced on the inspection tour about the farm which will start at 10:00 a. m.. Fast time. Since the field day last year, two additional demonstrations were laid out for the benefit of visitors this year. On September 8, 1928, Irvin J. Mathews of the H. V. Potash Export My., and Gorrit Posthumus, the resi­ dent Farm Manager, sketched in the letters for two words “Potash Pays" on spring sown alfalfa. These letters were 75 feet high and the alfalfa on the letters was topdressed with 200 pounds of muriate of potash per acre, using a one-horse, five-disk drill. Weights were taken on July 9 at the first cutting of hay. The results are amazing. They will be announced Field Day. A new seeding of alfalfa with oats was put out last spring south of the grove and in this demonstration there are eight plots. Three of. these are not fertilized and five of them have muriate of potash applied in amounts varying from 100 to 400 pounds per acre. The new seeding is telling its own story. Because of the length of the letters "Potash Pays,” it has been impossible to get a picture of the words from the ground. So the N. V. Potash Ex­ port My. expects to send a plane to take pictures from the air on August 8. An air message will be dropped from the sky as a souvenir for every­ one who attends. This blds fair to be one of the most interesting events To be staged in Western Michigan this year. The Keystone Rotation has surely done It­ self proud in crops produced. Earl of Michigan, the Guernsey bull that thrust honor upon^iis daughters, will be back to lend color to the occasion; the plane will drop its priceless mes­ sage; topnotch speaking talent has been provided; in fict, no trouble has been spared to give sand land farmers the most reliable cues pointing toward success. Visitors will bring their own picnic dinner. Coffee and lemonade will be served free on the grounds. The date is August 8. Tour of the farm and fields will start at ten o’clock, fast time. Mason Game Farm Hatched ■ 7,900 Pheasant Eggs The State Game Farm, near Mason, at which the usual 10.000 pheasant eggs were set'this season. had a bet­ ter percentage of hatch than the three other pheasant farms, reports the Gime Division. This was expected since the three new farms are experi­ mental and this is their first year. Mason hatched 79 per cent of its eggs. Jackson prison 64 per cent, the Boys Vocational School at North Lan­ sing and the Wolf Lake made 62 per­ cent. * The difference seems to be due, to the skill which comes with experience, and the new farms seem to have done well for a first try. In past years 10,000 eggs was the greatest number ever set. This year a total of 19,500 eggs were set and batched out over 13,800 chicks. The Thicks are now several weeks old and past the stage during which the heav­ iest losses are to be expected. Superntendgnt Lamont estimates that over .2,900 chicks are in the rearing fields —nearly twice as-many as were ever' >efore produced in one season.

KANE Wall Paper ♦ w« o«u,er provement over the results shown in previous years. A small proportion of those receiving free eggs have had good percentages of hatch and have saved their chicks, but few seem to have succeeded in saving half the. eggs they set. Theriow average of the returns from eggs distributed to individuals has led several clubs and conservation organ­ izations to consider the possibility of developing local pheasant-rearing sta­ tions which would be handled in the same way as the bass and trout-rear­ ing ponds which have been so success­ ful, and something of the sort will probably be tried out next year. Reports on the hatch of wild pheas­ ants are sketchy, but it seems fair to figure that when the game farm has a good or a poor season, wild bjrds benefit or suffer from the same condi­ tions. Last year the game farm had one of the worst seasons on record and there was wide-spread complaint last fall, that pheasant hunting was poor. With the game farm reporting unusually good results, so far. in .all probability the wild birds are also having a very good season. •'It’s the increase of Xhe wild birds which makes hunting," says Lovejoy. "The game farms and the private hatching and rearing operations can help by supplying more breeding stock, but the thing which really counts is what the wild birds do. And to do their stuff they need service; safety during the closed seasons, teed during the worst of the snow and ice, protection against natural enemies, safe nesting places, unburned swales to hide in, and so on."

Eighty-three relatives partook of a bountiful dinner, after which the. chairman. Rev. Charles Palmatier of Jackson, asked each one to tell their name, their relation to the family, and their occupation. The organization of the reunion fol­ lowed: the officers were elected, and it was voted to hold the second* reun­ ion at the same place next year . The chairman asked for short talks from several members. He said if there were any men who had no chance to talk at home, this would be their chance—several responded. A short family history was given by Mrs. William DeVine, the only liv­ ing member of the immediate family of . Thomas and Martha Palmatier. Mrs. DeVine was the youngest of fif­ teen children. There are 172 living descendants of Thomas and Martha Palmatier. There are 13 grandchildren, 46 great-grand­ children, 88 great-great-grandchildren and 24 great-great-great-grandchil­ dren.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1928 VOLUME LVH HARVEST FESTIVAL AND HOME-COMING OPENS TODAY WASHINGTON LAD WINS EDISON TEST PHILIP MAURER LOSES IN NA­ TIONAL COMPETITION. BUT HAS FINE TRIP, INTERESTING EXPERIENCES AND VALUED In the national Thomas A. Edison contest held at West Orange. N. J., . 1MR week, Wilbur B. Huston, a 16 year old boy from Port Madison. Wash., scored the highest and be­ comes a protege of the famed inven­ tor. Huston will* receive a four year course in chemical engineering in the Massachusetts Institute of Technologybefore entering the Edison laborator­ ies. Scholarships were also awarded to the four boys standing next high­ est in the examination. Philip Maurer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Franz Maurer of this village, who won the state test, and the right to represent Michigan' in the national trial, failed to land a scholarship but profited considerably.through his par­ ticipation in the contest. It was a very interesting trip, and the boys were lavishly entertained, were intro­ duced to several noted personages, and before leaving for their home each contestant was presented with a fine radio-phonograph by Mr. Edison. Philip left Nashville at 8.25 a. m.. July 29, and arrived at Orange. New Jersey, at 6.30 the following morning. He was met by an Edison representa­ tive and taken directly to the Hotel Suburban, the home of the boys while guests of Mr. Edison. At noon all those whe had arrived were taken to lunch at the Kiawanls club, after which they had their first glimpse of New York City on their way to the Yankee Stadium. Here they witness­ ed the game between the Yankees and the White Sox. They had box seats and wrfre within four or five feet of Babe Ruth. After the game the boys had the honor of meeting Williams and Yancey, the men who flew across the Atlantic to Rome. Tuesday evening the official pro­ gram opened with a banquet at the _____________ Hotel Suburban. Here 'ho the hnva boys mAt met •the son, Chas. Edison, nnrl and also had their first look at the great inventor. The welcoming exercises were held Wednesday morning.. These were broadcasted so many Nashville people heard them. As each boy shook hands with Mr. Edison be was asked to an­ nounce his own name and state thru the microphone. At this time the boys received their Edison Radio­ Phonograph. ahd Philip will be glad to show his to anyone interested as soon as it arrives in Nashville. The after­ noon was spent going through the im­ mense Edison laboratories. This was one of* the very interesting parts of the entertainment. Here each boy was presented with an Edicraft Automatic Electric Toaster, which he was priv­ ileged to order sent as a present to anyone he chose. .The dinner this evening in honor of the Edison Scholarship candidates was given at the Rock Spring Country Club by the Chamber of Commerce and Civics of the Oranges and Maple­ wood. Henry Ford asked to be intro­ duced to Michigan's representative, and they conversed for a few mo­ ments. After the dinner the boys were taken to the airport and viewed many different planes including Lin­ dy’s Curtis Falcon. Wherever the boys went they were taken in two large busses, preceded by four or five motor cops, who cleared the traffic. On their trips to the city the police of Orange would take them as far as the tunnel, where they were met by New York police, who escort­ ed them all over the city. Mr. Edison certainly provided for their safety while under his care. , On Thursday morning came, of course, the real object of their visit, the test held at the laboratories. This lasted five hours and • consisted of questions in Physics. Chemistry and Mathematics; also a list of general questions. At the conclusion of the test the boys were assembled under the trees at "Glenmont" the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edison in Llewellyn Park for a buffet luncheon. This was followed by a dinner at the Bossext Hotel Marine Roof Garden in Brook­ lyn. After the dinner an evening greatly enjoyed by the boys as evi­ denced by the noise they made, was spent at Luna Park. Coney Island. Free passes to everything in the park were given the boys and they must have used them all, the busses not re­ turning to the hotel until 3.30 a. m.. with their tired boys and entertain- The boys met Friday morning at Fr<1 armhome for the announcement of the winner. This honor fell to Wil­ bur B. Huston of Seattle, Washington, who scored a standing of ninety-two and a fraction. In the afternoon the boys were tak­ en on a sightseeing trip around New York City on the official steamer "Mutom", the same one that carried Lindy in his triumphal procession on his re­ turn from his famous trans-Atlantic flight The boys called on Jimmy Walker, mayor of New York, who congratulated each one. The winner of the scholarship acted as spokesman for the party. This concluded the of­ ficial program and almost royal en­ tertainment.

Florida Governor Gladiolus Show to Gives Statement Be Held August 17 About Fruit Fly ANY GROWER IN BARRY COUN­ C. W. Smith, now of Nashville, but whose residence is in Florida during the winter months, hands the News the following clipping taken from a Florida newspaper. Because of the Interest which has been manifested in the Mediterranean fruit fly which has been causing havoc among the or­ chards of Florida, Mr. Smith believes the public will be interested in the contents of the clipping. It follows: That Fforida citrus and vegetable growers will be able to ship their pro­ ducts at the opening of the season next fall Is a foregone conclusion, is the opinion of Governor Doyle E. Carlton, who returned to his desk to­ day after a tour of inspection in the Mediterranean fruit fly area. Expressing optimism over the out­ look, the governor said he was amaz­ ed at the progress already made to­ ward eradication of the pest. 'Take Orange county in the heart of the infested territory,, for example. Where a few months ago there were millions of files, there now is no trace of the pest." he declared. "Shipment of fruit and vegetables by fall is a foregone conclusion. Of course it will require processing of the products, but as I understand it, the process is simple, and with it, confi­ dence will be restored in Florida fruit and vegetables throughout the nation and world." No other state or nation has ever conquered the Mediterranean fruit fly. but Florida has. the chief executive asserted. Practically the entire success of the eradication movement has rested in the cooperation of the growers them­ selves, the governor declared. "Dr. Wilmon Newell, in charge of the eradication work, informs me that with continued cooperation we will have a flyless Florida by October 15,” he said. Stressing the importance of contin­ ued fighting until the last infestation has disappeared. Governor Carlton paid high tribute to the growers, "who have taken their losses and collective­ ly cooperated toward a common end." Out of several thousand fly traps which have been spread over the en­ tire infested area of the state, the governor said, only eight files were caught last week. Conservation Dept.

Men are of these two sorts: Those who look backward for security and asstyance and those who will gladly give yesterday to oblivion and trust their fate and fortune to tomorrow. Men are grown old when tomorrow loses its lure and the past begins to draw them back from dreams and de­ sires for the unknown future. Yet he who wishes to hold on to youth need never lose it altogether, since any day that is still to come may prove rich­ er and more fruitful than a year that is gone. Hidden treasure lies beyond the horizon of every new day. All that a man has done and known and experi­ enced is but a little compared to what, awaits him in the treasure-chest of Time. He who keeps his courage will not be content with past rewards while the future is so rich in promise and possibility. MAIO SCHOOL REUNION.

BARRYVILLE PASTOR WILL PREACH FINAL SERMON SUNDAY Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary Sunday Fair Exhibit Sent* On County Circuit Funeral services were held Ln the village Sunday afternoon for Howard R. Sprague, aged 29, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Sprague, who passed away Wednesday, August 7, at the William Beaumont hospital in El Paso. Texas. Obsequies at the Sprague home were conducted by Rev. A. L. Bingaman of the Evangelical church, and the burial services were in charge of members of Nashville lodge. No. 255, F. & A. M. Representatives of the American Legion also took a part in the last rites. Howard Randolph Sprague was born in Nashville. Mich., May 8, 1900, and spent the first 18 years of his life here. After graduating from the lo­ cal high school,.. he enlisted at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station and remained in the service until the close of the war. He then returned to Nashville, where he was engaged in business until his health failed. February 16. 1922, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary McVean of Nashville, and to them one son, Hugh Donald, was born. Four years ago. through thfe influ­ ence of the American Legion.Qje en­ tered their hospital at Battle Creek, Mich. Later on, he with his family moved to El Paso. Texas, where he spent the remainder of his life. He leaves a wife an'd son. a father and mother, a sister, Mrs. George Troegef of Grand Rapids, Mich., and a brother, Donald E. Sprague of Paw­ Paw. Mich., besides numerous more distant relatives. The passing of Mr. Sprague, while not unexpected, is a sad bereavement not only to the family but to the en­ tire community. During his life in Nashville. Howard’s active participa­ tion in athletics, in musical organiza­ tions and in our social activities won him a host of close friends who have been sincere sympathizers during his long illness and 'who will mourn his untimely departure. Pike Law in Effect' After August 28th Fishermen will have to count their grass pike after August 28th. On that date the new fish law enacted by the past legislature goes into effect. In the past there has been no limit on the grass or great northern pike, and some fishermen have carried their pike fishing to excess. In fact, the conservation department has receiv­ ed a number of complaints from var­ ious localities concerning the over­ catching of this fish, as many as six­ ty pike have been reported taken by a fishing party in one day. Those who have complained to the department maintain that this-repre­ sents not only a waste of Michigan fish resources but is unfair to other fishermen who like pike fishing. The fish law which takes effect on August 28th. in part states that not more than five pike, variously termed great northern, grass pike, or picker­ el with a length of not under four­ teen inches can be taken. On pike lakes and non-trout streams the sea­ son will be from May 1st to March 31st, on all other lakes it will be from June 25th to March 31st, while on trout streams the pike season will be from May 1st to September 1st.

There Is a keen vision and conse­ quent wisdom that are the rewards of patient concentration on matters small and particular. This is the sight of the specialist, invaluable to a scientific world and bearing fruit in its complicated organization, its storehouses of knowledge, its Intri­ cate machinery. But another sort of vision must be kept alive, lest the world grow gray and gloomy with scientific dust. There must be those of wide sight no less than those who see closely. Two men may survey a landscape and one see it as a curious pattern of particulars, while the other catches its glory and beauty and finds inspiration and de­ light in them. One is concerned with the realities of fact; the other aware of realities of fancy and interpreta­ tion. The world needs both, but the latter it must have. There is spiritual unhealthiness in too close concern with a small corner of truth. It makes men shortsighted, so that they are blind to universal things or indifferent to them. Yet without some .awareness of propor­ tions and relations and some sense of comprehensive truth, there is no hu­ manity to our knowledge. It grows ever more bewildering, more profit­ less and pointless. It loses the essen­ tial quality on which the heart and mind can lay hold—the quality of un­ ity with some purpose and plan in which men are equally a part. Without it we are increasingly Big Str.

PRODUCTION OF CHEVROLET SIXES REACHES RECORD­ BREAKING MARK THIS YEAR. One million «x cylinder Chevrolets have been placed on the road since the first of the year. Thia sensational announcement, in­ dicating aa it does the great popular appeal of the new six cylinder car, was made at the central offices at the company today as assembly plants in various parts of the country were op­ erating on the biggest summer pro­ duction schedule in the history of Chevrolet. Never in the history of the indus­ try has any other manufacturer equalled the achievement of placing a million six cylinder cars on tbe road in less than eight months. In fact, according to observers, this is more than three times as many six cylinder cars as were ever produced by a man­ ufacturer during a like period. Tbe record-making model, probably the most famous of all Chevrolet rec­ ord cars rolled off the assembly line at the huge Flint, Mich., plant on Au­ gust 5. It happened to be a sedan— the new Imperial sedan, introduced a few weeks ago. The glistening rec­ ord-breaker was welcomed at the end of the assembly line by W. S. Knud­ sen, president, and other high Chev­ rolet officials. # Without any ceremony the'car left the plant for Detroit where it will be presented as one of the interesting exhibits that are to be a part of the mammoth Chevrolet sales convention in Detroit, August 14-15-16. The entire Chevrolet sales supervisory force of nearly 2,000 men will be on hand for the biggest convention of its kind ever held by the company. The rapidity with which Chevrolet marched on to the record of a million sixes in less than eight months will be noted from the following tabula­ tion of the dates when the various epoch marking sixes were on the road; First Six .... __ ____ -.............

August 5 Nearly every state in the Union had a share in the building of the mil­ lion sixes.

More than 85,000 carloads of material were used to produce the million sixes. As officials point out, the achieve­ ment is even greater than during the same period of 1927 or 1928, during which years the Chevrolet Motor Co. was the world's largest builder of au­ MR. C. W.

A very low fig­ ure of injuries to minors is .attributed to restriction of the industries and oc­ cupations in which they are permit­ ted to work. “Fourteen year old workers exper­ ience accident frequency of 15.4 in­ juries per 10.000 workers of thia age employed; 3.8 in the 15 year group; $.5 in the 16 year group is the only division among minors contributing to the serious accident column, they showing .8 of one person permanent­ ly disabled in every 10,000 of that age employed. ’ » “At ages 18 and 19, fatal accidents appear with .65 of one person killed in every 10,000 employed. Perma­ nent disabilities increase to 2.6, all accidents in this age group jumping to a frequency of 62.58. Ages 20 to 24 have the highest frequency of any group, accounting for .71 in fatalities. 5.38 permanent disabilities, or 84.15 persons receiving all degrees of dis­ ability in 10.000 employed. A slight decrease is shown in the group from 25 to 44 years, while the older men, from 45 to 64 years of age are ac­ countable for u very noticeable de­ crease to .69 fatalities, 2.12 perma­ nent disabilities, or a total of 58.98 accidents per 10,000 employed in. this age group. “A further reduction in total num­ ber of injuries sustained is seen in the group over 65 years of age. In this division but 33.9 accidents per 10.­ 000 men of these ages employed have occurred during the reporting period.

I had never heard a bass-drum played more feelingly, even in Sousa’s Band. What expression, what shares of mean'ng the artist put ‘nto it! You could just picture the bombs bursting in air. First came the boiler-factory motif, then a minor counterpoint mel­ ody of'bursting quick-detachable tir­ es, and finally a revers.'on to the or­ iginal theme In the major key, ending in a magnificent crescendo, a sort of tone-picture of a courtship between two coast-defense guns at two hun­ dred yards’ range. It was magnificent! Grandmother Page was shamed to absolute silence for the first time since we have been acquainted. As we pranced up to the gate the melody'grew a triffle thinner. All the players seemed to be working just as hard, but the result van discourag­ ing. One by one tbe artists would cease playing and shake their instru­ ments with a puzzled look. At length none was left but the bass-drum play­ er. He hammered away regardless until the leader tbok tbe drumstick away from him. Colonel Stewart, the acting head of the Home, met us with out-stretched hand. He was a fine, hearty old fel’ow with white hair and a clcne-cTop­ ped military mustache. •The toys certainly apprec’ate your kindn»ss in^lving a show for them.” he told vs. •‘We’re eight miles away from anywhere out here and they don’t get many chances even to see moving pictures.” The members of the band came up and he introduced them. As I shook hands enthusiastically with the bass-drummer, Colonel Stewart said: “This is Comrade Pilk Henwether. I’ou'M have to speak pretty loudly to him. as he is nearly stone deaf.” I congratulated him. ‘’It's all tor the best.” "We're sorry we couldn't play that piece all the way through,” apologized the-bandmaster. "We know all the notes, but it’s so cold that the wind instruments all froze up. I told the boys net to blow damp, but I guess they couldn’t help it." ’ Never mind," I soothed. It’s pro­ bably all for the best." He looked at me suspiciously, but apparently saw no guile in my eye because he went on cheerfully: "It will be all right when we, get inside and thaw out the horns. Then well play it again for you." We had a lovely time that after­ noon. The old soldiers were as eager to play as children. In the summer­ time they had lots of visitors, but in the winter it was rather dull. The Home is on Three Bears Lake, eight miles from the town of Fair Oaks at -the other end where the railroad sta­ tion it As a. consequence few people take the trip in winter except for some special reason. Comrade Al-el Dreyenfurth bad lost a leg at Antietam. That did not in­ terfere with a lively desire to learn the fox-trot, and Maryella spent an hour teaching it to him. /The bass-drummer Pilk Henwether, discovered in me a Kindred soul. "I like you, Mr. BHbeck," he con­ fided at the top of his voice. "I can sort of tell what you are talking about because you make faces when you speak." The undertaker’s ’bus arrived just before dinner. We all ate together in a large mess-hall. The dwellers at the Home cook their own meals and do all their own housework. "That’s Lhe chief objection I got to the Home,” said Pilk Henwether, hardly raising his voice above a shout. "There ought to be some female vet­ erans. Tm durned if I like washing dishes." The dinner was good, all except the dessert, which was a fallen angel­ food cake with ice-cream. "Henry Klingman made ft,” Pilk confided, "and I think it's punk, if you want my honest opinion. But I wouldn’t let him hear me say that be­ cause It would hurt his feelings." As Comrade Kingman was fa the rrorr. and Pilk Henwether spoke in his ordinary tone of voice, there seemed little doubt of his feelings receiving a "It ain’t so bad, though," Pilk went on. "when you come to think that Henry has only got one arm. He says the other one was shot off at Chanceliorsville, b:«t it’s my private opinion he lost it running a buzz-saw after the war was over. Anyhow, he draws an extra allowance as a one-armed man." Conversing with Comrade Henweth­ er had its embarasaing drawbacks at that. It is true it didn’t matter what you said to him, but on the other hand he had the trick of pretending that he heard perfectly and replying to what he thought you said. ' Thus unexpectedly when I asked him to pass the bread he responded: "Yes.. He has got a funny nose, hasn't he ? That’s Herb Ahiswede. But don't let him know you think so, because he is sensitive—terribly sen­ sitive. Until I learned to be careful about it I used to make Him mad when I spoke about it. The forty-four calibre look which Comrade Ahiswede shot in his direc­ tion would have pierced anything but a rhinocerous hide; but, Pilk Henweth­ er prattled on obviously : "It looks as If he drinks, don't It? But that can’t be, because he ain’t al­ lowed to here at the Home. It’s durn curious, and I’ve been puzzled about it ever since I come here eight years Comrade Ahlswede half rose from Rpsldencr two miles north Nashville Ms chair with a durable-looking iron■trndpipe. Phone 28-5 rings. stone-china cup in his hand from which he hastily gulped the coffee. I was torn between a desire to appear polite and an impulse for self-preser-vation which was urging me to get under, when Colonel Stewart rapped sharply on the table, and a neighbor­ ing hand drew Ahiswede tack into his "That's one thing I pride myself on," shouted Comrade Henwether, leaning closer so that I could hear him. "I am considerate, I am, and never hurt anybody’s feelings if I can help it. No matter bow funny a thing looks to me I shut up about it." Then changing the subject hastily, be observed in a confidential shout: “That’s a mighty pretty woman you got with you—the bonde one, I mean. She ain’t your wife, is she?” I shook my head frantically. "No? Well, I guess you are kind of sweet on her just the same. I’m old but I can tell from the way you looked at her and the way she looked back at you—Well, I miss my guess, if there ain’t a wedding pretty soon!” Mrs. Hemingway was blushing to her ears. Pilk Henwether saw it. "Notice how she’s blushing?” he observed. "I wonder if she could have heard what I was saying to you. If you want her. my boy. go in and win. I sha'n’t stop you. If I was a little younger I am blessed if I wouldn't try it!" Colonel Stewart rapped on the ta­ ble again, but Pilk failed to hear it. Finally he sent one of tbe men who waited on the table with some kind of a message to my friend. The aide tapped Comrade Henwether on the shoulder and motioned toward the swinging door at the rear of the room. Pilk rose reluctantly. "I know what's lhe matter”, he growled. "I got to eat my supper in the kitchen. I-’most always do.". Then he laughed a laugh of tri­ umph. "But I fooled him this time! I got all through before he caught me!" Expostulating loudly with his guide Comrade Henwether was led away past the swinging doors to the kitchen, where a loud rumble from lime to time reassured us that he still retained the powers of speech. CHAPTER V. “AH for the Best." At eight o'clock the Soldier’s Home Band played an overture in the theatrt, which was improvised from the stable at the rear of the institution. I will do that band justice. We had not heard them at their best out in the open. To get the full benefit of their talent you have to get them in a small building where there is no es­ cape either for you or the sound. Nev­ er have I heard so much music in so short a space of time. . The curtain rose on Galatea and her apprentice at work. I did not have to make up until the first act was pretty well along, so I stood.in the wings to watch. Maryella was re­ splendent in a flowing Greek robe and Mrs. Hemingway's pearls, which add­ ed just the final touch to the soft, glowing flesh of her neck. ‘ When I had finished my approving inspection of Maryella I allowed my glance to stray to Mrs. Hemingway herself. She was dressed as before except that beneath the skirt of her tunic she was wearing voluminously ruffled pantalets that modestly cover­ ed criticized hiatus between the tunic and the ankle. She had said that she would fix her costume so that her husband would not object, and she had succeeded—but at what a cost! 1 had barely become accustomed to Mrs. Hemingway’s concealed supports when Jim Cooper, the warrior, stalk­ ed on the stage. But what an altered gladiator he was! It was difficult to tell whether he was infantry or cav­ alry. His chest preceded him by at least eight inches. If you didn’t look below the waist he would scare you to death. He advanced to Galatea and told her in manly tones that he loved her. She spurned him, and when he tried to embrace her she spurned him again in tin same place, rather roughly this time. Something must have become unfastened or broken, because he stood for a moment p»nir stricken and then before our horrified gaze his chest sanlc down slowly and lodged conspicuously at bis waist. It’s lucky he wore a waistband or I hate to think of the consequences. Tbe plot of the piece was a trifle unfamiliar to most of our audience and beauty of the lines was probably lost upon them. "It ain’t as funny as 'Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ ” vouchsafed Comrade Pilk Henwether to the slide-trombonist, "but we won't let them know we think so. That’s a durn pretty woman—the one that’8 In love with the fat lellow." I was getting ready to go out Fnd break the big drum over his head when a number of his fellow veterans made him subside by placing their hands over his mouth. They kept quiet, too, until the be­ ginning to the second act, when the curtain went up on me standing on the pedestal where the statue bad been. Comrade Henwether took one look and exploded into merriment I nearly burned up with anger. If it hadn't been for the play I would have jumped across the foot-light and choked the old fool. I tried to as­ sure myself that it was all for the best; that I had to stand there be­ cause otherwise I would probably have had to appear in court for as­ sault and battery the next morning; but it was difficult to do. "You can't fool me." said Henwcther in the tone of a subdued foghorn. "That ain’t no statute. That’s the fat fellow that sat next to me at dinner. I like him. He's funny. I’m glad they've got a clown in this show." We had to hold the performance while they put him out protesting. He delivered a Parthian shot at the door. "Ha!

Despite unfavorable weather dur­ ing the opening days, the Ionia free fair held last week established a new record, the total attendance for the six days being checked at 237,500.

WILMONT MOFFAT DROWNED AT LAKE SATURDAY NIGHT Wilmont Moffatt, aged 23, of Stock­ bridge. drowned Saturday evening at the Lake House landing at Thornap­ ple lake. Moffatt and Carl Cooper, 35, of Albion, two members of the Michigan Bell Telephone line gang which has been working through this section of the state, went to the lake Saturday afternoon for a week end outing. They had been out fishing and were returning to the landing about six o’clock, when, according to witnesses, they commenced scuffling and splashing water on each other, continuing their antics until the boat capsized. Cooper Clung to the boat, but Moffatt, who is a good swimmer, started for shore, a short distance away. He could easily have reached shallow water, but turned back again toward the boat and paddled around for some little time before he finally gave up and sank in about twenty feet of water. It was about forty minutes before the body was recov­ ered. and all efforts at resuscitation were in vain. Moffatt’s body was taken to Hast­ ings and later removed to his home at Stockbridge where funeral services were held. He is survived by his par­ ents. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Moffatt, three brothers and one "sister. As a sequel to the accident, county officials, who were called to the lake, held Cooper to answer to a charge of being drunk and disorderly. He was arraigned before Justice Adelbert Cortright Monday, plead guilty, and was assessed a fine of $100 and costs, with an alternative of 90 days in jail Tested Herds Show Increasing Profit NUMBER OF HIGH PRODUCING HERDS IS GREATER IN MICHI­ GAN THIS YEAR- Records from 77 Michigan herd improvement associations indicate that the dairy methods used by mem­ bers are resulting in a marked in­ crease in the profits from their herds, is the announcement made by mem­ bers of the dairy department at Michigan State College. Nine of these Michigan herds pro­ duced an average of 500 or more pounds of butterfat during the past year. This is five more herds of such high producing ability than were found by the testing done the preced­ ing year. Ninety five herds produced between 400 and 500 pounds of butterfat per cow. and 833 herds averaged between 300 and 400 pounds. The food needed for body maintenance is not much more for a high producing cow than for a poor one, and- the extra feed given to the good cow is turned into butterfat. The dairy specialists say that pro­ fits from dairy cattle increase rapid­ ly. as the amount of butterfat produc­ ed increases. Labor costs and hous­ ing equipment needed are about the same for the good cow and for the poor one. The nine high herds for Michigan the past year were owned by Doan Straub, Berrien county; O. J.

Contest Will Show Quality of Butter A novel butterscoring contest in which all commercial buttermakers in Michigan are invited to compete has been initiated by the bureau of dairy­ ing, State Department of Agricul­ ture, and Michigan State College. Each buttermaker who enters the contest tests and scores a sample of the butter he has manufactured and then sends a similar sample to the of­ ficial judges to be scored by them. Simon H. Hagadorn, Lansing; P. S. Lucas, and G. M. Trout, East Lans­ ing. are the judges. The judges report to each contest­ ant the score made by the sample submitted and inform the buttermak­ er the reasons why the butter has not scored higher. The contest will be continued until the end of the year. This will permit the buttermaker to correct errors in manufacture which reduce the score of his butter. The winner of the contest will be given the title of Michigan Master Butter­ maker for 1929. It is planned to repeat the contest to enable all buttermakers to avail themselves of the chance to have their product scored over a long per­ iod of time. ‘ Masonic Notice—There will be a special communication of Nashville Lodge No. 255, F. A A. M., Monday night of next week, Aug. 26. There will be work in the M. M. degree. A good attendance is resired. Lodge will be called promptly at 8.00 o'clock fast time. Charles Fowler, Nashville's oldest resident and one of the pioneers of this section, passed away Monday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary Kunz, on Middle street, at the age of 93>years, 5 months and 28 days. Funenu services will be held this (Thursday) forenoon at ten o'clock at the home, conducted by Rev. A. L. Bingaman of the Evangel­ ical church, with interment in the family lot at Lakeview cemetery. Mr. Fowler, despite his advanced age, retained keen control of his fac­ ulties up to the time of his death, and was very active until about three months ago when he was stricken with his fatal illness. He was of kind­ ly. jovial disposition, and took great pleasure in coming down town al­ most daily to visit with old friends end acquaintances. These he number­ ed by the hundreds, being universally liked and respected, and there will be many who will miss his cheery greet­ ing and cordial handshake. The deceased was born February 22, 1836. in Richland county. Ohio, and was one of a family of twelve children. His father died when Charles was ten years old, and in 18M the family moved to Hillsdale coufity. Michigan. Here Mr. Fowler leaned the carpenter's trade, and engaged" in that work for a good many years. In 1859 he was married to Mrs. Mary Jane Tucker, a widow with five chil­ dren, and to this union were bora three sons and two daughters, two of whom survive: Mrs. Mary Kunz of Nashville and Dr. Sherman M. Fowler of Battle Creek. Delbert passed away at the age of 23 years, Thomas at the age of 6 weeks, and Lydia at the age of 3 years. The family mov­ ed to Barry county in 1864, settling in North Maple Grove. Here the wife was taken in death November 27, 1897. In 1899 Mr. Fowler was again married, to Mrs. Lodema Dilbahner, who passed away in 1914. Since that time Mr. Fowler has been making his home with his children, spending the greater part of the time in Nashville. Four step-children are also left to mourn their loss: Mrs Albert Ostroth of Fremont, Indiana, Mrs. Eunice Mead of Nashville. Frank Dilbahner of Chicago, and Mrs. Lydia Lathrop of Maple Grove. Mr. Fowler was a charter mem­ ber of Ivy Lodge. No. 37, Knights of Pythias. and for some time had en­ joyed the distinction of being the old­ est member of the order in the state. Co-Operative Elevator Holds Annual Meeting The annua) meeting of the Nash­ ville Co-Operative Elevator associa­ tion was held Tuesday evening at the Nashville club auditorium, and was called to order by the president, Freel Garlinger. The attendance was rath­ er light, but those present expressed general satisfaction with the volume of business and the manner in which it had been handled during the past year. The choosing of directors re­ sulted in the re-election of Fred Hanes of Maple Grove, Wesley But­ ler of Johnstown and Fred Brumm of Castleton. The board will meet this Thursday night to organize for the coming year. BUSINESS NEWS —Don’t forget to give us your fer­ tilizer orders now for fall delivery.

Last year at this season there were heard predictions that this summer would see the inauguration of regular transatlantic commercial airplane service. That service has not mater­ ialized, but the air prognosticators are now convinced that their prophe­ cies were premature by only a year. At first there will be no attempt to carry passengers between the United States and England. Possibly for three or four years the planes will be run on schedule, carrying only mall and express matter, during which time the pilots will experi­ ment. They will pick out routes and chart air currents, attempting to find a pathway where they will meet little resistance from storms. In the meantime engineers on land will use this data in perfecting motors and aircraft for this service. Experts in aeronautics say that in less than a half decade it will be as safe to fly across the Atlantic as it is now to travel by steamer.. While it would be advisable to throw a trans­ atlantic airline open • to passenger traffic only after the hazards have been greatly reduced, .it will not be necessary to wait that long to get STEPS ONWARD. Easy travel, easy communication and easy change are the first fruits of civilisation. Prehistoric man was wilder than modern man and had no family cares or home or business to attach him to one locality,, yet he was lesb free to travel than modern man. Airplanes, railroads, automobiles and steamships give to everyone the freedom of the world; Before science gave to man the tel­ ephone, telegraph, wireless and radio and swift means of transportation those who traveled afar had little around the world and circumnavigate the globe in a few days by air and In a few weeks by land and sea. Once man was provincial perforce, now by The arts of printing and reading widen still further the horizon of man’s acquaintance. Books and per­ iodicals mirror for him the most dis­ tant lands and the dim past. They concentrate in one's own library a fel­ lowship unhindered by time and ex­ perience of mankind. Thus there is pcssiole a fellowship unhindered by time and space and a communion of kindred spirits in a language that is universal. Than these, nature has bestowed no greater gift upon humanity. With­ out them man could not have climb­ ed to his, present state of civilization, and deprived of them he would re­ vert to a lower state. They are. his indispensable aides in his wars against famine, pestilence, ignorance, intolerance and war. A fool and bls money soon talking. A hypocrite is a fellow who believ­ es his own lies.

Leading Oakland Salesmen to Meet MORE THAN 600 MEMBERS OF FIFTY-TWO CAB CLUB TO GATHER AT ZONE CITIES. More than six hundred leading salesmen of the nation-wide OaklandPontiac retail organizations will ■gather August 26 at twenty-five zone office points to be entertained by the Oakland Motor Car Company in rec­ ognition of the sales records which they have achieved during the year ending July 31. The salesmen are members of the Oakland-Pontiac Fifty-two Car Club for 1929. As the name of the club implies, membership is attained by the sale and delivery of 52 or more new automobiles during the twelve month period. Competition for membership has been exceedingly keen among the 10,­ 000 Oakland-Pontiac salesmen sta­ tioned throughout the United States, and a large number lacked qualifica­ tion by a margin of only two or three sales. Many others qualified by ex­ tremely wide margins. Each group of Fifty-Two Car Club members will enjoy a special program of entertainment arranged by their respective zone offices. The four leading salesmen in each zone will au­ tomatically become officers in the zone Fifty-Two Oar Club, and the four salesmen who lead the entire or­ ganization will be installed as na­ tional officers. In addition to attend­ ing their zone celebrations, the four national officers will later be the guests of the Oakland Motor Car Co. in a trip to the Oakland-Pontiac fac­ tories at Pontiac, Mich. W. R. Tracy, vice-president in charge of the sales, announces that the Fifty-Two Car Club will become a permanent organization among the Oakland-Pontiac salesmen. SOME BOY AT 102. Fairmont. W.

HOWE , "The && of Potato Hill’ THE SAME OLD WORLD—A WONDERFUL STORY OF PROGRESS—RURAL EXTRAVAGANCE A recent magazine writer contends that friendship ij passing. ... It is the same old world—so far as friend­ ship is concerned, and in nearly every­ thing else, except that we have more tops to play with. . . . The modem man, when time hangs heavily, turns on the radio, tq see what sort of dev­ ilment is going on in other parts of the world; in an older generation, a bored man shouldered his rifle,.and went out to shoot an Indian. I have observed that Literature is unfriendly to men. Yet, in all fair­ ness, and justice, the most marvc~j$ thing is the progress men have made. Tell me, if you can, a tale as wonder­ ful as the growth of man from bar­ barism or worse to his present state. A writer in a farm publication says: "No century has ever sech such a thing as rural extravagance.'' .. . Ex­ travagance is as common in the coun­ try as in the towns. When a fanner buys more machinery than he needs, and lets it stand cut in the weather when not in use, what is that but ex­ travagance? When he over-borrows at the bank, that is extravagance. When he spends more time in town than is necessary or profitable that is another exhibition of It Fanners live too economically to far as food and homing go, and are too extravagant with agents, and in the use of their working boors. We sympathize with farmers because their calling is not very profitable. This is true of many others. Teach­ ers and preachers are worse paid than farmer*. There are millions of clerks not so'well paid as farmers, and fac­ tory Employes everywhere are appeal­ ing to the government and public for help. And in all the hullabaloo the fact remains that citizens of all classes may do pretty v.-ell m this fat country if they accept generous opportunities, and handle them with reasonable in­ telligence and efficiency. And the fact remains that those who chose to ap­ peal for aid cannot be much helped by public appropriations or tears. We can no more make everybody prosperous than we can make every­ body healthy; raert are elements en­ New Shipment in a Few Day* FOREQUARTERS ARE UNSALA­ BLE WITH PRESENT SYSTEM OF CUTTING CP CARCASS. i tering into the D-oblem going back to heredity, individualism: general preaching, general prayers, bulk sym­ pathy will not do; life is a problem to each individual, and we can only treat him as well as he treats us. I lately heard a woman talk of a male relative who had been a d runle­ an) all his adult life, and she made one statement that interested me. She said all the man's relatives, friends, and acquaintances were in league to keep him away from whiskey but that he could go into any strange commu­ nity anywhere on earth without funds, and within a few hours secure all the whiskey be wanted, and be howling drunk. . . . Often the needful things may not be had for love or money, but whiskey and pistols seem to be within rezen of anyone wishing to use them. Something is wrong with the mer­ chandising of meat in the United States when the reco-ds show that for every pound of mutton eaten the public buy* 10 pounds or more of both beef and pork and one pound of veal, and Michigan State College is aiding flock owners to’ hold a series of meetings to call attention to the value of mutton as a food. One of the troubles which the re­ tailer of meats has had in selling mutton has been bis inability to cut up front quarters of mutton into de­ sirable pieces of meat. To compen­ sate for the unsalable forequarters, a high price had to be charged for the choice cuts from other parts of the carcass. Mr. J. E. Hertzler, Chicago, repre­ sentative of the National Meat Board, will show how front quarters of mutton can be cut up into attrac­ tive pieces of-meat at meetings to be held in Jackson, August 19-20; Lan­ sing, Aug. 22-23-24; Grand Rapids Aug. 26-27, 28; Saginaw, Aug. 28 to 31; Flint, Sept 5-6-7; and Detroit, Sept 9-10-11. Mr. Hertzler has developed a meth­ od of cutting which will enable the meat retailer to furnish good cuts of mutton at reasonable prices, and to make attractive cuts from all por­ tions of the carcass. College special­ ists say that mutton is equal to oth­ er meats in food value and that better selling methods will increase con­ sumption of this meat. Rodeo Feature of Michigan State Fair COWBOYS, COWGIRLS AND IN­ DIANS WILL FURNISH SPE­ CIAL. ENTERTAINMENT. The life that the early-day cowboys followed with Its hazardous work and equally dangerous games will be liv­ ed again, with no decrease in Its thrills, in the rodeo which will be the outstanding entertainment attraction at the Michigan State Fair, Septem­ ber 1 to 7. The rodeo will be the first of its type to be seen in this section of the country. Performances will be given each afternoon and evening. It will be on a plane with those that have become famous as yearly events at Calgary, Cheyenne and Pendleton. A largo number of cowboys, cowgirls and Indians will take part. Many of the men riders are champions, follow­ ing years of competition. All are veterans of the old cattle days. A number of the cowgirls are world champions in their own right. Three of the main events, bronco­ busting, steer bull-dogging, and the chuck-wagon races, have never been seen in this section in the fashion in which they have actually occurred as part of the work, danger and play on the cattle ranches. The broncos used in the bucking and wagon racing have never been tamed to harness. Steers used in bull-dogging are Brahmas, a cross between the Texas longhorn and the sacred bull of India, and possess the greatest fighting spirit of any breed of cattle. In addition to these events, other features of the round-up, each with its proportion of pulse-quickening risks and thrills are the roping, trick and fancy riding, and wild-cow milk­ ing contests and the relays Indian squaw, wild horse and Indian tepee races. The rodeo will be the outstanding attraction at the fair and part of the grandstand show, other events of which will be 15 vaudeville acts, a concert by Al Sweet's band in cow­ boy costume and the spectacular aer­ ial fireworks display. The famous 91st Highlanders "Kiltie" band of Canada will be heard each evening at the Horse Show’ in the Coliseum. YMCA ITEMS FOR BARRY CO. George Westerman.

One of the serious obstacles that must be overcome for the good of our economic system and the country at large, is the well-planted theory tn the mind of the farmer’s son that he must leave the farm to reach the elusive goal of success. The farm is not only the basic in­ dustry but the most important indus­ try of our entire economic system. The successful farmer, therefore. Is just as as important to the welfare of this country as our biggest industrial­ ist. merchant or financier. The people of this country or any other country could exist in crude comfort without our great industrialists and financiers, but industry and commerce could not exist without the farmer. There is no profession or vocation more respectable, more independent, or more wholesome than that of the successful farmer. There never was a time when farming held forth a great­ er or more successful future for the right type of scientifically trained young men than it does today. In order to keep the farmer’s son on the farm, we must first impress upon his mind that farming today is a high­ ly respectable and specialized busi­ ness, and that the successful farmer is a man of actual and not merely theoretical importance in the com­ munity. We must impress upon him. also, that to be a successful farmer requir­ es something more than the mere knowledge of how to plow a straight furrow, or the proper time to plant potatoes and sow buckwheat. He must learn to analyze his soil in order that he may know what crops will give the greatest possible yield. He must learn to analyze market con­ ditions in order that he may deter­ mine in advance what commodities he can produce which will bring him the most profitable returns. He must learn to develop through organization a stable market for his products. He must appreciate the importance of raising thoroughbred stock and elimi­ nating waste. He must know what improved machinery to purchase in order to cut down his overhead ex­ penses for man power. . In other words, we must impress upon the farm boy the fact that edu­ cation along agricultural lines is as necessary to the successful farmer as an engineering course is to the man who aspires to be an engineer. We must teach this boy to visualize the successful farmer as he is. . The successful farmer today has a freedom and the means to get more wholesome happiness out of life than does his wealthy city couxin. He has electricity to light his home, his barns and to run his iceless re­ frigerator and other farm machinery. He has his automobile, radio, tele­ phone and daily paper. He has his garden where fresh vegetables, sweet corn, berries and fruits are grown for his table. He has fresh golden cream, milk and butter. He can and does set a table of wholesome, delicious, nutri­ tious food that any millionaire would envy. He can bunt, fish, bathe, ride horse­ back and drive his car in garden spots that his city relative only dreams about six days out of seven. His workshop is God’s great open space— there is no better place. He has no time clock to punch; no landlord to pay; no commuter's train to catch and no stifling subway to squeeze into. He is his own chairman of the board, president and board of directors. He is his own boss; King of all he sur­ veys. He never has to worry over where he will find a job if the factory should shut down, his factory always remains open and in operation. He has many friends, a good home, sufficient in­ come to enable him to live comforta­ bly and provide for his future. His work is interesting, as well as profit­ able. if properly done. If this is not success, what is suc­ cess? Certainly, it is not limited to any particular profession or vocation. Success means, crudely, securing the best results that can be obtained with the job in hand. The farm boy has a greater opportunity for success at home than he has abroad. If we wish the fanner’s son to re­ main upon the farm, we must impress upon his father the importance of at­ tractive homelife for that boy and the necessity of giving him a college edu­ cation along scientific agricultural lines. If these facts are brought home to the farmer’s son. he will know he represents a noble and highly respect­ ed profession, and he will be inspired to prepare himself for the career of successful farmer. Then we shall have no farm boy “problem.” For Sale—Two acres, six room brick house. Barn 18 x 24. arranged for car; chicken house, good variety of fruit. Half mile from Nashville.

Jim subsided, but from time to time thereafter he writhed with eag­ erness to offer suggestions and com­ ments. He just naturally cannot keep from lending a helping hand in every­ one else’s business. He means well. too. I do not doubt but that Jim Cooper is one of the best hearted men in the world; but by the time he has helped half a dozen times in something you want to do by yourself you get to dread his appearance on the scene. Bill’s temper had not been Improv­ ed any by Jim's earnest advice. He twisted the crank savagely and then delivered a violent kick on the radi­ ator. "Who owns this piece of junk any­ way?" he demanded, at last appicaching our group. ‘Is it yours?" He pointed at Jim. .. . '‘-'■lairied hastily. “You couldn’t give it to me op a bet." I made a mental resolve to square up with him sometime for his scorn­ ful comment. No man likes to have the things that he owns ridiculed. Grandmother might not have al! the modern attachments, but I loved ev­ ery bolt in her body. "Then you must be the guy." .Bill said, indicating me. "You come here and start your car." Now, I had no particular desire to have Grandmother Page kidnapped. It seemed simple enough to make a perfunctory effort and tell them it would not go. So I monkeyed with the levers aimlessly and cranked a couple of times. I did not prime the cylinders with gasoline and stuff a glove in the air-intake, as I knew I would have to do to get her to re­ spond. “She won’t . start," I announced. Bill swore. Jim Cooper smothered a strident laugh. •■What are you laughing at?" Bill demanded harshly. "Because,” Jim returned, "Tom says he can start that car in any kind of weather when no one else can." How cheerfully I could have throt­ tled Jim fbr that asinine repetition of my footless boast! "So you’ve been stalling, have you?" Bill turned upon me savagely. "Now you start her; understand? No monkey business! If she’s run­ ning in two minutes we may not blow your brains out." Something in his tone convinced me that Bill was in earnest. I lifted the hood, primed the cylinders, stuffed my glove in the intake and turned her over. Grandmother responded feebly: "Phut!" "The batteries are a little' weak," I commented. "They don't give a very good spark when it's so cold." I adjusted the spark coll to oper­ ate on less current and tried crank­ ing. There was no explosion what­ ever. I was beginning to get a little wor­ ried. Bill, who stood over me with a gun, seemed a trifle impatient. I could see that he did not believe that I was making an honest effort to start. ■ ’Try it on the magneto," suggested Jim Cooper. "She never starts on the magne­ to," I replied. "Try it anyway.” Bill commended briefly. "And hustle." So I did. As you may know, start­ ing a motor on the magneto involves spinning the flywheel rapidly for sev­ eral times before enough electricity is generated to make a spark. It is one of the most heart-breaking exercises I know of, especially when the motor has excellent compression such as Grandmother Page boasted. The perspiration dripped from my brow and my arm seemed like a lead­ en weight that was about to drop off. I paused for breath. “Now you quit your kidding." snarled the highwayman, shoving the muzzle of the revolver under my nose. •Take off that coat and make her go. Take it off, I say!" I obeyed. Neither of us was pre­ pared for what followed. I had for­ gotten the white tights, w'hich were all I wore beneath my overcoat, and he. of course, was not expecting me to look as pale as I did. His jaw fell and his arm dropped limp at his side. "W-w-what are you ?” he asked. It was probably the only opportun­ ity that I would have, and I made the most of IL As the muzzle of the gun dropped I jumped for him and pinned his arms to his sides. We rolled over and over in the snow, the revolver exploding as we felt Sometimes weight is an advantage. This was a case in point In two min­ utes I was sitting on his chest and had taken his weapons away from him. , Finger on trigger, ready to fire, I looked around for the other bandit "Where is he?” I asked. "Gone," replied Maryella. "He ran away when-he saw you were winning. “It’s all for the best”, Jim asserted. "You couldn’t fight him and sit on thia other gentleman at the same time anyway." I rose from my seat, "Get up!" I ordered my prisoner. (continued next week.) GROCERIES Northern Tissue .

PASSED BEYOND For Carl H. Tuttle HITTING FARMERS OVER MICHIGAN TO PUBLIC SEPT. 1 THURS., AUG. 22 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS ELECTED IN SPECIAL MEET­ INGS DURING PAST WEEK; C. L GLASGOW PRESIDENT. The organization of the new bank, the "Nashville State Bank" was ef­ fected last Friday evening when the stockholders of The Fanners & Mer­ chants and State Savings Banks met in the parlor of the Farmers A Mer­ chants Bank and selected the follow­ ing named gentlemen who are to con­ stitute the Board of Directors of the new organization. G. H. Tuttle. W. A. Vance. H. D. Wotring, Chris Marshall, H. C. Zuschnitt, Dr. ELT. Morris. Dr. C. K. Brown, Fred Hanes. Frank Lentz, Menno Wenger. C. L. Glasgow, and Ed. Kraft. Later the Board met and elected the following officers: President—C. L Glasgow. Vice President—W. A. Vance. Vice President—C. H. Tuttle. Cashier—■Chris Marshall. 1st Ass't Cashier—H. D. Wotring. 2nd Ass't Cashier—Harley Andrews It is hoped that the new organiza­ tion will be ready for business Sep­ tember 1. It will occupy the Farm­ ers & Merchants Bank building It will be the ambition of the new bank to offer every accommodation that safe banking will permit or that the public may rightfully demand. It will be the aim of the new organiza­ tion to so conduct the business that depositors will be fully protected ev­ en to carrying insurance so there need be no fear of loss in the event of burglary of any kind. It will be noticed that the employ­ es of the new bank are largely those of the two banka which it succeeds therefore if any customer will feel more at home doing business with some one who was in either of the other banks, they will be there to wait on him. The Board believe that the general public will soon realize that all business will go right along as before. Mr. Marshall, who comes to the cashiership of the new bank needs no introduction to a Nashville commun­ ity. he having served in the same po­ sition in the State Savings Bank and has established an enviable reputa­ tion. The Board and Stockholders firmly believe that the general public will recognize the fact that the larger and stronger bank will be able to render better service to the community and operating under a less expense and duplication of. effort will be able to pay stockholders a reasonable divi­ dend on their investment SECOND ANNUAL EVERETT REUNION AT DANSVILLE In connection with the organization of the new bank it is interesting to note that of all the original directors of the Farmers A Merchants bank, only two are living, C- W. Smith and L. E. Knappen. Mr. Knappen sold his interest to C. W. Smith in 1900, so that C. W. is the sole bearer of the honor of having been connected with the organization from its birth to the Eresent time and during all that time e has been director and for ten years Vice. President. Mr. Smith was in business in Nash­ ville from 1877 to 1902, when he be­ came engaged in orange growing in Florida which he continued until 1925. He retains his interest tn the new bank but has been relieved from active duty at his own request. The Farmers & Merchants Bank celebrated its forty years of service to this community, this year. Bank was organized Dec., 1888, and began business January, 1889. BARRY COUNTY . DAY AND NIGHT FAIR SEPT. 3-6 TWELVE BIG FREE ATTRAC­ TIONS AND FINE SPEED PRO­ GRAM WILL FEATURE ENTER­ TAINMENT. FIREWORKS FRI­ DAY" NIGHT. The Big Barry county day and night fair will be September 3, 4, 5, and 6. The officers have planned to make It the biggest and best ever. A sedan, dining’ room suite, and a radio are to be given away on the conditions you can easily learn about, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. Ten fine free attractions will be given in front of the grand stand each day and evening. In addition, for every evening there will be a spe­ cial—The Berger Revue, consisting of 16 persons, some of them fumed as Broadway artists. Thirteen numbers on the program will be presented each evening. This vaudeville performance has been showing on some of the best circuits of the country and will be alone worth the price of a season tic­ ket. There will be a Great Display of Fire Works on Friday evening of the fair. The racing committee of the fair have booked a number of fast horses, and good races will feature each af­ ternoon beginning Wednesday. Be­ tween heats the free attractions will be presented. Fine herds of dairy-and beef cattle, many horses, pens of pure bred swine and sheep, the poultry exhibits, the art hall, the school and grange exhib­ its, will be unusually good this year. There will be showings of the latest models of automobiles, farm and speclal machinery, household articles and merchandise by the merchants of this city. These will be worth while. In addition there will be the usual midway shows. A fine new attraction for the fair has been arranged, consisting of a number of "High School horses" from The Long Beach Farm. Several rid­ ing horses will be exhibited by the Misses Butterfield, daughters of W. B. Butterfield the movie magnate; also by Mrs. Sumner Cushman of Battle Creek, and Mrs. Merrill King of Kal­ amazoo. They have consented to en­ ter their horses and will ride them on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons of the fair. It Is expected that there will be others. Get your season ticket before the fair begins. The second annual Everett family reunion was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Shopbell at Dans­ ville, Mich., August 25. 1929.

Tuttle who is retiring from the cashiership of the Farmers & Merchants Bank, became connected with that organization Sept. 9, 1899. He was made Asst.

RADIO SET WILL BE FORMALLY PRESENTED LOCAL BOY EDISON PHILIP MAURER WILL BE GUEST OF LANSING PAPER ON WED­ NESDAY, SEPT. 4. Philip. Maurer, of Nashville. Mich­ igan's Boy Edison, is to receive fur­ ther honors in recognition of his ef­ forts as the successful contestant for the right to represent Michigan in Mr. Edison's contest to find his suc­ cessor. Philip will go to Lansing on Wednesday, Sept. 4. and be the guest of the State Journal in a day of sight­ seeing and formal functions. Philip will go to Lansing on the morning of the fourth and immediate­ ly upon his arrival will be taken for a motor trip about the city, visiting all points of interest here and in East Lansing. He will visit the state cap­ itol and there meet Gov. Fred W. Green and other state officials. Late in the afternoon Mr. Maurer will be at the Lansing Phonograph company store in the Strand Arcade to meet the public. In the evening the presentation of an Edison phono­ graph and radio set will be made by a state official, probably from the stage of a local theatre. These latter details have not yet been definitely completed. Mr. Souter, representing the Edison' company, and T. J. Wainright, of the Lansing Phonograph company, have completed all plans for giving the ra­ dio set to the youth. Lansing was chosen as the place where the gift should be bestowed, Mr. Souter said, because it is the capital of Michigan and the seat of the state's education­ al department.

THE FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL. In counting the great days of a man's life do not forget that one on which he starts to school. ' From tens of thousands of homes the babies are going forth, never to come back. , Somewhere between 9 o’clock and noon a transformation has occurred. We send our babies to school but boys and girls come home to us. And the little lad’s great adven­ ture has begun. Elbert Hubbard once said, "Send your son to college and the boys will educate him." 1 Today the little one has measured himself, perhaps for the first time, alongside of others. He has entered into competition with them, matched wits, made bls demands and taken what he could get His insistent will haacome into conflict with other wills as insistent as his own.

Labor Day was made for protest of peace and plenty it has been gen­ erally translated into a farewell par­ ty for the summer. It marks the end of the time when those who can do so take fife easily: when the business man dodges his desk, and store and workshop surrender some hours to the good cause of health and happi­ ness. Now the engine of our nation­ al life will pick up speed again and turn to profit the intangible assets of the summer season. The world slips back easily into old ways, and usually without much dam­ age done. In primitive times the sun determined human habits, whether of work or play. Lately we have es­ caped somewhat from the hard disci­ pline of the Industrial Age and have, found that it does do harm to lighten our loads for the summer season and postpone the high pressure of busi­ ness until cooler weather. It Is as logical to do so as that men should work by day and sleep by night The increasing custom of vacation gives our working men and women a breathing spell and a chance to gath­ er health and strength on seashore, mountain and river. Business pays tribute to His Majesty the Sun and gets it back with interest in the long and busy days of winter. - MR. JAMES F.

We were bound for Newbury, near Lake Superior, for a little recreation. We took No. 66 out of Ionia. We found it in bad conditiop. seven large de­ tours. We made it to Kalkaba's fine tourist camp. At noon we stopped there for lunch. We alighted, got out our camp stove and under cover of the little free kitchen we soon had steaming hot coffee and tea, with the other lunch such as a home-made cherry pie, bread and butter and jam, and meal sandwiches. We soon, felt refreshed. Our cousins from Win­ chester, Indiana, were accompanying us on the trip. They were Leslie Roniger, wife and. son. Here we ran into the garage for a little repair of lights and we were soon on our way again. The county between Kal­ kaska and Petoskey seems one de­ serted portion of Michigan. Home­ stead after homestead lying idle. People had invested good money and received nothing. Good buildings go­ ing to waste and decay. A few miles south of Petoskey potatoes are rais­ ed extensively and tons of poison have been used this year on potato bugs everywhere. Petoskey is a thriving town on lit­ tle Traverse bay. It has made con­ siderable growth since 1907, when we last visited there. We left Petoskey with a long detour between there and Mackinaw City. The roads were pit­ ted badly. We made it into Macki­ naw City before sundown, which gave us a nice trip across the Straits to •watch the sun set on the water. We pulled out of St. Ignace for the state park to camp for the night. The men pitched the tent in a clump of pine while we women fried ham and eggs and made tea and coffee. We had a nice table and two seats to sit on. One could smell the pine smoke from the next neighbor's furnace as we ate our supper—fit for a king. We made our bed and crawled in. Oh. what a kick-one gets out of a good night’s rest, after a journey of three hundred miles. We had good city water, only a few feet away.

There we found an ideal place to camp near the lake. We carried water from an artesian well. The water was like ice. We were in a lit­ tle maple grove. There is where we put our otat-door furnace in use, using drift wood for a fire. We brot along the furnace made out of bolter iron, large enough for a fourteen inch spider, coffee pot and two kettles. Oh, boy! You should have seen the smoke curl heavenward, up through the trees. We cooked one good mess of fish, bam and eggs, new peas, string beans and spuds galore; also pan­ cakes for breakfast. We each had up a tent; also a tent for our cooking supplies if it should rain. It remind­ ed one of an Indian's wigwam. We had one rain while camping there. On Wednesday morning, like roving no­ mads, again we hit the trail, going on north. On leaving the Big Manistique we half Girded it. We found lovely country—some good grazing land. The farmers were making hay. We crossed the tributaries of the Fox riv­ er. all wonderful deer country. We went through a small town called Germfask. There is where we drank the best water on our trip. We ar­ rived dt Seney in Luce county, about two p. m. We bought some grocer­ ies and beaded to the great north­ west just through the cut-over land. Stumps standing higher than a man's head. The stumps didn't show as if a forest fire had ever been over them. We drove through dump, and wooded sections and more stumps for almost twenty miles, finally we ran down one road to a hunter’s lodge. They keep a caretaker there. It’s owned by a number of Detroit sportsmen,.so they sent us back a half mile to the end of the lake. We camped there two nights and one day under the great blue sky, with sunshine and lovely weather. In the distance you. could hear sounds from a lumber camp, and the spur of a railroad running back in that way. We passed camps where they were making fence posts. The water we had to use was water from a brook, and we boiled that. Here we had wonderful fishing. We had'our own boat on a trailer. The porcupines tried to eat the trailer up. You could hear the shrill cry of the whippoorwill,, an occasional hoot of an owl. W’e were at the edge of a natural virgin forest, great trees standing and some had been cut so long that large ,Dine Trees were grow­ ing out of the old rotted stumps. We climbed over logs and wound in and out through the brush and evergreen trees of all names. We saw the deer drinking from the lake; also saw the beaver swimming across the lake, and their dams they had built. We left this camp again on Friday forenoon. We drove over wonderful highways., We stopped at Dollarville, a small burg Here a man told me a man by the name of -Dollar came there and built a large saw mill on the Taquemenon river and made a for­ tune. He said the county seat would have been there but they burned out the town to get the court house at Newbury. Newbury is a thriving town, nice and clean, wonderful and up-to-date schools; also an iron fac­ tory making pig Iron. Below New­ bury is where one can take a boat down the Taquemenon river to see the wonderful falls. Between there and the Soo we saw such wonderful for­ ests, and good highways. We arriv­ ed at the Soo camp in time to put up out tents and have a fine supper. We found the ground dampest there of any place we camped. On Saturday forenoon we took a ferry across over the Canadian line and viewed the locks, which are sure a wonderful piece of work, done in 1906. There were only two American locks now there are four, and more tonnage passes through them than through the Panama canal. Came back to 3.

But once it’s gone, there's no way of getting it back. It's gone forever and it’s done us little good. Judicious spending is, of course, neces­ sary, for we must live and we must have a fair proportion of pleasure.—And it s far better to spend wisely and save the difference than it is to spend foolishly and save nothing.

The winning of purple champion­ ship ribbons has become a habit with the horses owned by Michigan State College, according to word sent from the Ohio State Fair by Ralph Hud­ son, in charge of the College horses. Ravenche, a two year old daughter of Pervenche. was grand champion Belgian mare shown at Columbus. This daughter promises to continue the great record of victories won by her mother. Preston Wolfe, a three year old Belgian stallion owned by the College, was reserve grand champion in the Ohio show. He was first in the senior class. The Percherons from Michigan State were even more successful. Sir Laet was grand champion stallion, and Maple Grove Leila won grand championship honors for Percheron mares. The Percherons won first for best breeders herd and. flrat for best three mares. For ’ Belgians, the College showed the best three mares and won second place on breeders herd. From Columbus, the horses will be taken to the Michigan State Fair at Detroit, and. later in the year, a group of the animals will be sent to the International Show at Chicago, where the best horses on the conti­ nent will compete for supremacy. Lake Odessa Mill Burned Thursday Night The Lake Odessa flour mill, owned by a Mr. Kart, was burned to the ground last Thursday evening.

Brosseau, a highly respected citizen of Hastings passed away Au­ gust 28, aged 80 years. The funeral was held from the late home Friday and the remains brought to Lakeview cemetery for interment. Mr. Bros­ seau had made his home in Hastings for more than 60 ye^ra, and at one time was engaged in the furniture business, having retired. He leaves to mourn, besides the aged wife, one sen, Theo Brosseau of Kalamazoo, and one daughter, Mrs. M. E. Northrop of this place, and many other relatives and friends. NUMBER?. Mr. aad Mr*. Hu Fel*taer luckily escaped serious injury Friday, about six miles west of Allegan, when their Ford touring colided with a county truck. Mr. and Mrs. Feighner were on their way to the peach orchards of that locality and had been following a truck used by Allegan county authori­ ties. and had been following the truck rather closely for some dis­ tance. The driver of the truck evi­ dently took a notion to stop—and very suddenly, too, right ahead of the Feighner car. without giving the least indication of his sudden inten­ tions. Before Haz could stop his car he ran into the rear of the truck with sufficient force to disable his Ford for life—and later sold it as junk to a garage dealer In Allegan. Mrs. Feighner fared the worse in the ac­ cident. It being necessary to take her to an emergency hospital at once. Her right forearm was badly cut by the broken glass, seven stitches be­ ing necessary to close the wound. Two stitched were necessary in a bad cut on hei nose. One rib was broken and she susLdued several other minor cuts* and bruises. Haz was cut one hand, which necessitated a few stitches, but escaped other injury aside from a severe shaking up. L. F. Feighner motored ©ver to Allegan Friday after­ noon for them. Haz says no more Allegan county peaches for him—at least this year. ALBERT BELL FALLS UNDER CULTIPACKER WHILE ON WAY TO FIELD AFTER SCHOOL. Albert Bell. 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bell, narrowly es­ caped serious injury Monday after­ noon when he fell in front of a cultipacker and the machine passed over him. The boy was on his way to the field after school with the team and cul­ tipacker and was passing down the lane when the bouncing of the ma­ chine threw him in front of it. The team continued on. drawing the heavy cultipacker over the boy who fell with his head toward it. As a result he was badly cut about the head and one hand, aud also suffered broken bones In one hand. He was attended by a Nashville physician and on Tues­ day morning he was taken to a Hast­ ings hospital for x-ray examination. Latest reports were that no serious results were expected to develop and that his condition is favorable to a quick recovery. Albert is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Bell, who reside west of Nashville. Engagement Is Announced At Social Affair. Trap* Must Bear Owner*’ Name and Address on Tags A group of friends was pleasantly entertained at the home of Mrs. Frank McDerby on Wednesday after­ noon of last week. The house was decorated with autumn flowers. From a basket, each guest chose a bit of needle work with a rhyme enclosed, giving instructions as to the stitches to be taimen. A luncheon was served at an attractively appointed table, lighted with pink tapers. A bowl of pink rosebuds made a lovely center piece. Baskets were used as favors, with cards attached, announcing the engagement of Miss Clara Louise McDcrby to Mr. David Doyle Myers of Hammond. Indiana, sun of Mrs. Ells­ worth Myers of Franklin, Pa. The date set for the wedding was not an­ nounced. Trappers thir fall will be required to have their traps marked with a tag «r plate bearing the owner’s name and address. This phase of the new game law now in effect further states that the name and address shall be in the English language. The old law which required number­ ed metal tags, which were issued with muskrat licenses, to be attached to traps, resulted in much confusion and delay In apprehending of violators. It was necessary for wardens to com­ municate with the department at Lansing in order to determine the ownership of illegally set traps, and by that time it often was too late to catch the owner.

Grand Rapids Will Be Host to Noted Physicians in Sept. The new game and fish law’s .enact­ ed by the recent legislature went in­ to effect throughout Michigan Wed­ nesday, August 28, and the anglers of the state will come under several new regulations as a result. Pike, formerly an unprotected fish in Michigan, are put in the game fish class by the new laws end the daily limit on panfish of all kinds, includ­ ing bluegills, sunfish, perch, rock bass, white bass, calico bass and crappies, is fixed at 25. Formerly the law per­ mitted the taking of 25 of each of these fish in a day. The new law protecting pike fixes a dally limit of five on these fish and a minimum size limit of 14 inches. The seasons on pike, walleyes, muskellunge, lake trout and perch under the new regulations are as follows: In pike lakes. May 1 to March 31; In all other lakes, June 25 to March 31; on trout streams. May 1 to Sept- 1; on non-trout streams, May 1 to Mar. 31. The. daily limit on wall-eyed pike Is reduced from 10 to 5 and the mini­ mum size limit increased from 10 in­ ches in length to 14. Muskcilunge are also added to the game fish list with an open season cot responding to that of pike and a minimum length of 30 Inches. Game wardens will be instructed to enforce these regulations as soon as they take-effect, Aug. 28, according to Hugh Green, chief conservation of­ ficer of the state. Of the new* fish laws that become effective at that time only one will not be enforced this year, Green says. That Is the new trout license law', providing that.all trout fishermen ov­ er 18 years-old must be licensed. The present law exempts women and re­ quires a license only of male anglers over 2L Owing to the fact that the new lawgoes into effect Aug. 28 and the trout season ends Sept. 1, no attempt will be made to put the' new license law Into force this year. Green states. With the opening of the season next spring, however, all trout anglers ov­ er 18 will be required to buy a license. Among the important changes In game laws to become effective Aug. 28 and which will be of interest to wild fowl hunters when the duck sea­ son gets under way Sept. 16 is a pro­ vision to regulate the placing of duck blinds. The law formerly has permitted the placing of blinds anywhere within 500 feet of shore .or grass or weed beds and this has been interpreted to mean submerged weed beds as well as rush­ es. with the result that on Saginaw bay and some other waters the blinds have been anchored just about where the hunters pleased. The new law forbids building or us­ ing a blind more than 100 feet away from the shore or from beds of brush, grass, rushes or other vegetation that shows above the water. This does away With the use of blinds in open water except jn special cases where the use of floating blinds may be an- i thorized by the conservation com-1 mission. i Houghton lake offers an example of a location where the open water blind is virtually essential, and it is prob­ able the use of the floating blinds there and in similar places will be okeyed by the commission. The new law also permits ,. duck hunting from a half hour before sun­ rise until sunset. Formerly shooting was from sunrise to sunset, the new. regulation giving the hunters an ad­ ditional 30 minutes of morning shoot­ ing. MR. FARMER! The season of the year when changes are being made in and about the farms is here, and many of you farmers will be holding auction sales during the next few months. Some have already been held. If you are one who is thinking of selling your farm equipment at public auction may we call your attention to the fa­ cilities of The News fof advertising such auction. The News goes into practically every home in the trading radius of Nashville. It is read by townsfolks and country folks alike for the neighborhood news with which its columns are filled. Nashville mer­ chants have found it practical to use its columns when they wish to reach the-buying public. You.

County agricultural agent C. L. Bolander says that the interest of Livingston county farmers in alfalfa is shown by their purchase and use of 3,000 tons of lime in two months this year when they were preparing ground for seeding alfalfa. Mr. Bol­ ander believes that this is the largest amount of lime used by a single county during a like period of time. Sixteen Livingston county girls, one from each of the townships, will compete for the honor of ruler over the realms of King Alfalfa. Four residents of the township from which the queen is chosen will be enriched through gifts of 10 tons of lime to each of the four who will be selected by lot from residents of the township who register at the celebration. Livingston county is the first in Michigan to give formal recognition to the fact that alfalfa has become one of the main supports of agricul­ ture in this State. The crop is most popular in dairy sections where its high protein content is turned into butterfat, but its uses as a soil build­ er. a cash hay crop, or as a seed crop have been responsible for the rapid in­ crease in acreage devoted to alfalfa in Michigan.

The Postoffice Pharmacy Wall Paper Five million or more people will have visited the State park this sea­ son, with practically every state in the Union represented, if the consis­ tent increase in attendance since 1925 can be depended upon, is the opinion of P. J. Hoffmaster, superintendent of parks. In 1925. four years after the state parks were placed under the control of the conservation department, there were 52 parks covering a total of 7655 acres. That year two and onehalf million people from 46 states vis­ ited the wilderness scenery enclosed in the state parks for a stay of from a few hours to several weeks. Evident­ ly those visitors spread the news of Michigan parks, because next year three and one-half million came. One of the most remarkable in­ creases that has ever occurred in the parks came in 1927, when the- at­ tendance suddenly jumped 45.5 per cent, over the previous year, which means that 5.107.487 people from all of the 48 states came to see what the Michigan state parks were all about, or to revisit the parks, old and new, with which they were familiar. Since the great spurt of 1927, the increase has continued, but has be­ come more gradual. However, there is little doubt that this year will sur­ pass last year, with its 5,346,411 vis­ itors. Although the season was re­ tailed at the start, the later hot spell brought the customary influx of tour­ ists. visitors’, and campers. The latter who compose about 3 1-2 per cent, of the total attendance seem to pre­ fer the parks near lakes and streams where the forest cover is fairly abund­ ant. ' The parks have drawn their largest attendance from the states of Michi­ gan. Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Canada last year contributed 256 au­ For Erring Youagstan tomobiles and 986 people.

Th $ sound of the shot had aroused curiosity at. the Old Soldiers’ Home, and now half a dozen of the most nearly complete of the inmates led by Colonel Stewart came down the road in military order. They were armed with rifles and bod bayonets fixed. I learned afterwards that the weapons were Spanish-American War trophies which were not loaded and had not been fired for sixteen years. We told the Colonel what had hap­ pened and he sent one of the old men back to the Home with the ladies with instructions to telephone the sheriff. The rest of us went after the other escaped prisoner. He had broken away from the road and gone into a patch of woods that lay alongside, as we could easily tell by his fresh tracks In the snow. It seemed as if it was going to be a comparatively simple matter to trail him. We changed our minds, however, when the tracks led out of the com­ parative quiet of the timber-land to a meadow. Here they ceased abruptly. There was enough wind blowing so that the snow was kept clear in some places and drifted in others. He had evidently avoided the drifts. ■ We had only one lantern or we could have searched to better advan­ tage and by spreading out might have picked up the footprints without much delay.

LAST YEARS' GRADS SCATTER FOR VARIED CALLINGS THIS YEAR FORMER RESIDENT WAS KILLED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT NEAR IONIA While other schools in neigbbqrlng towns report greater enrollment than In former years, especially in high school departments, Nashville school officials report a falling off in total । high school enroUment and in foreign I pupils enrolled. This year's figures show an enrollment of only 99 in the high school as against 128 last year. Foreign students enrolled this year number only 32 against an enroll­ ment of 55 last year. School officials are attributing the decrease to present school conditions and lack of building facilities. Be cause of Impending withdrawal of the local schools from the University of Michigan's accredited list parents are said to be sending their children to other schools rather than risk the pos­ sibility of being barred from higher institutions of learning upon gradua­ tion here. Consequently larger high school enrollments are being reported from practically every high se^pol ad­ jacent to the local district. Lack of foreign students this year is threatening to prove a serious handicap in operation of the schools. Receipts from foreign tuition will be approximately $1,300 less than last year. In view of the fact that $3,000 less is being raised by taxation this year it appears likely that the board will face a deficit before the close of the present school year. Information received from Supt. J. R. Chills, of the Vermontville schools, x show that the Vermontville high ' school increased their foreign enroll­ ment from 60 last year to 78 this year, with approximately 10 of those coming from the Nashville territory. Vermontville charges $80 per year tu­ ition per year. When Mr. Childs came to that school three years ago the high school enrollment was 87 and. the school was not on the University • accredited list Last year the enroll­ ment Increased to 104 and this year to 108. tiie school is on the accredited list and where they were receiving $3000 a year tuition year before last, this year their tuition will enrich their treasury more than $6,000. Nashville's tuition rate is $60 per year. With 55 enrolled foreign stu­ dents last year's tuition receipts were approximately $2,900. This year's re­ ceipts will drop to $1,900. or only a third of Vermontville's receipts. At Woodland the high school en- * rollment Increased from 98 to 105 thia year, with about half the increase z coming from foreign enrollment. Their tuition rate is $70 per year. Both Superintendents Childs of Ver­ mont vllle, and C. J. Barnum of Wood­ land stated that the various branches . of vocational training which are available in their schools have proven to be big helps in Increasing their en­ rollment, especially among foreign students. The Woodland school is al­ so on the University's two-year ac-~ credited list. CASTLETON P. T. A. Castleton P. T. A. will meet Friday evening, Sept. 13. Refreshments, ice cream and cake.

But, you see. Haz evidently mistook his denim-covered leg for a stalk of corn, and let drive with his com cutter. Gosh, but wouldn’t that make a feller realize that he'd been mistaken?

BAUER WILL Hastings Suffer $10,000 Loss By Fire Sunday. BE CITY LAWYER BY COUNCIL VOTE PROSECITING ATTORNEY HIRED AT MONDAY EVENING’S SES­ SION OF COUNCIL. NUMBER 9. NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19,1929 VOLUME LVH The Hard Season For Grandmother. By Albert T. Reid Fire visited downtown Hastings Sunday night and wiped out two busi­ ness places. The Pierson and the Kroger grocery stores on South Jef­ ferson street, discovered on Are short­ ly after 11 o’clock, were wrecked by the fire. For three hours the firemen fought the flames before they were brought, under control and adjacent property to the south, also frame con­ struction, was out of danger. When discovered the two grocery steres were in flames and Fire Chief Guy Giddings and his men did well to confine the flames to the two wooden buildings. The origin of the fire Is undetermined and the loss on build­ ings and contents is estimated at about $10,000. The building occupied by the Pierson grocery carried $1,000 insurance with $700 on the stock; that occupied by the Kroger store, owneci by Mrs. Fred Young, is partly covered. OVER HUNDRED MILLION BUSH­ ELS LESS THIS YEAR THAN LAST, SAY STATE 8PCIALISTS. Nashville's legal problems will be passed upon by a competent attorney in the future, following action of the village council on Monday evening when W. G. Bauer, county prosecut­ ing attorney, was hired for the com­ ing year by that body. Mr. Bauer was present at the meeting and offer­ ed his services in order that the vil­ lage might have the benefit of legal advice in matters which require at­ tention of a lawyer. C. L. Glasgow and E. V. Smith, ap­ pearing in behalf of property owners west of the standpipe, addressed the council with regard to extension of water mains in that direction. Al­ though within the village limits resi­ dents in that section are without a water supply either for domestic use or fire protection and a special plea was made that they be given an ex­ tension of the mains. The matter was referred to the water works commit­ tee for investigation and report. Regular monthly bills were allowed as a part of the routine business of UNANIMOUS VOTE OF CHURCH OFFICIAL BOARD FAVORED the evening. APPOINTMENT OF PRESENT PASTOR. REV. G. E. WRIGHT RETURNED HERE FOR FIFTH YEAR’S WORK Mrs. Ronald Pennington Died at Mother’s Home Mrs. Tressa Hawks Pennington passed away at the home of her moth­ er, Mrs. Hulda Hawks, southwest of the village Saturday. Mrs. Penning­ ton was taken ill last Wednesday at her home in Assyria, and on Friday was removed to the home of her mother. She was the wife of Ronald Pennington, and the mother of two daughters. Louise and Eva Rose, and one son. Raymond. Her death was attributed to a nervous breakdown. She was just 23 years of age. Be­ sides the husband and family, she is survived by her mother, four sisters and a brother. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Willetts on Monday afternoon at one-thirty at the Hawks home, with interment in Lhe Wilcox cemetery. With the announcement of pastoral appointments made at the close of the annua! conference of the Michigan conference of the Methodist church, held in Kalamazoo last week, local members of the church learned that Rev. G. E. Wright was returned to Nashville for another year's sendee. Appointments were made Monday. Return of Rev. and Mrs. Wright to the Nashville and Maple Grove ap­ pointments will meet with favor among members of the church where the Wrights have labored diligently and conscientiously for the past four years. At the last quarterly confer­ ence of the official board a unanimous invitation was extended the Wrights to return here. This meeting was presided over by SupL Clark S. Wheeler of Grand Rapids, and the wish of the official board was earned by him into the Kalamazoo confer­ ence, resulting in the appointment of the pi esent pastor for another year. Rev. Frank Loomis will fill the pas­ torate at Woodland, and in Hastings Rev. L. L. Dewey will be the pastor at First church, while Rev. R. E. Showerman will be pastor of Hast­ ings parish. Rev. J. W. Rochelle will go to Delton. Mr. and Mrs. Furniss Return From Western Trip Sunday Evening. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Furniss returned home Sunday evening from a two months tour of the west. They went via the Santa Fe to Los Angeles where they visited their son.

Saturday, Sept. 21. commencing at 9:30.—Ad vt With the harvest season of the late potato crop at hand, both growers and consumers are interested in the pro­ duction and price outlook. From an acreage 12 per cent, smaller than last year, the farmers of the United States on July 1 looked for a crop of 379 million bushels. Since that time drought conditions have developed in nearly all of the late producing states east of the Rocky Mountains except Maine. On September 1, re­ ports from the thousands of govern­ ment crop reporters indicated that a loss of 30 million bushels had been sustained since July 1., which reduced the estimate to 349.000.000 bushels. The decline during August alone was 24 millions of which Michigan suffer­ ed to the extent of five and one-half millions; Wisconsin, one and one-half millions; New York, three millions; Pennsylvania, three and one-half mil­ lions: and Minnesota, two and onehalf millions. The only state with an appreciable gain was Maine, the es­ timate being increased by two ahdK one-half millions. Commenting upon this situation, Verne H. Church, agricultural statis­ tician of the Michigan Co-operative Crop Reporting Service says that quite general rains have occurred in some of these states since September 1 and the late crop should show some increase when the final estimates for those areas are made. In other dis­ tricts, which include portions of Mich­ igan and other states, there has not been sufficient rain to break the droughty conditions to date and it Is doubtful if any improvement in the crop can be expected. If the final estimate should not change materially from that of Sep­ tember 1. the crop will compare close­ ly with that of 1926 in volume and be around 115 million bushels smaller than the 1928 crop which was the largest production on record. This in­ dicates far better prices than have prevailed in either of the last two years and, unless the outlook changes materially before the end of the sea­ son, the crop will be somewhat below the normal requirements which should be favorable for prices above the av­ erage paid to growers during the last ten years. However. It is too early to draw definite conclusions as to either the size of the crop or the prices that will prevail. If the opening markets should be considerably higher than in the last two years, as may be expect­ ed. farmers should not market faster than in other years. Orderly market­ ing will tend to stabilize the price, give dealers a better opportunity for systematically distributing the crop, and aid in maintaining a satisfactory price throughout the season. Such a course on the part of the growers should result in a gradually rising market through the winter and spring months, with an advance suf­ ficient at least to cover carrying charges. With crops in excess of 400 millions, such as those of 1927 and 1928. spring marketing has usually meant a loss to the grower, whereas crops of less than 360 millions, which the 1929 may or may not be, have usually brought a profit to those who stored their holdings until spring.

When John Coolidge and Florence Trumbull will be united in the bonds of matrimony on September 23, at the simple Plainville, Conn., Congrega­ tional church, the good wishes and love of a nation will speed them on their journey over the matrimonial seas. Think of it! Here is the son of one of the most distinguished presidents of the United States—and the daugh­ ter of the Governor of a great state— setting out on a life together that will be compounded of mutual affection, mutual thrift, mutual work. No frills—no grand gala wedding— no life of ease and luxury for them. John Coolidge is his father's son—he believes in doing his bit in the world and living soberly and economically. While Florence Trumbull, interview­ ed by representatives of great news­ papers, declares that she is more in­ terested in helping her husband than in the color of her wedding gown. "If he works, why shouldn’t I? Of course I will do my own housework.” A marriage entered in this spirit is sure to be productive - of happiness and serve as a noble example to oth­ ers. Congratulations, John and Florence. , THE world series. Again we are confronted with the phenomena of the World Series. No game ever before has held the undi­ vided attention of an entire nation for iso long a period. From 1884, when Providence won laurels as the World Series winner, right up tu 1928, when the crown went to New York, inter­ est has been intense in every corner of the land. And now everyone is ask­ ing: What team will bring home the bacon in 1929? Philadelphia? Chi­ cago? Since the inauguration of the World Scries, many things Yiave hap­ pened to captivate the fancy of a cur­ ious world. Radio, the modern mira­ cle. The development of aviation. The epic-making flight of Lindbergh and the "stnimJing feat of the Graf Zep­ pelin. The growth of the motion pic­ ture and the invention of the "talk­ ies." There arc a thousand more things to do than there were in the old days. And so perhaps many of the old di­ versions are being forgotten. But one thing has an eternal charm. Baseball will never lose its place in the affections of the multitude. The World Series of 1929 is looked for­ ward to as eagerly as was the World Series of 1909. Other things may change—-but the heart of the Ameri­ can is still the heart of a boy who knows that one of the most important things in the world is to keep right on playing. No, Sir! Nothing’s going to distract us from the World Series! EC8TACY. These topcoat days bring thoughts of winter mornings on the farm when the snow? lay a foot deep on the level and breakfast in the cozy warmth of the kitchen beside the crackling wood range was before daylight. Lo. the mellow lamplight, the frosted win­ dows, the savory aroma of coffee com­ ing to a boil, music of sputtering of grease and batter on hot griddle irons —and buckwheat cakes by the stack! Nothing else quite sticks to the ribs like the old-fashioned buckwheat griddle cakes. They were filling, but then life in the open midst the rigors of winter is productive of cavities re- qulrlng an unbelievable amount of filling. Maybe man could bake a belter pancake than the buckwheat variety, but up to now he hasn’t, which fact casts the shadow of a doubt on the possibility. Given the right kind of batter, a smoking hot griddle, and the result is a work of art. the color of which Is a < kind of light mahogany with bird’seye maple effect. When these are taken with bricks of butter, dissolving like icebergs in a tropic sea. the thickest of maple syrup or sorghum poured copiously over the ‘steaming hot stack—surely they make that proverbial dish "fit for a king.” Here Is ecstacy that not even Omar with his "jug" and “thou” ever knew, though it is the common heritage of rural America and of these city cou­ sins with a tic still binding them to an old-fashioned home "back on the farm.” WHAT DOES HE MEAN? Mother arises in the morning, gets breakfast for Father and the children, gets the children off to school and Father off to work. Father spends the day earning money. Mother spends it sewing, mending, washing. Ironing, preparing a hot lunch for the children, seeing that they are clean as they go back to school, supervising their play and study after school, cor­ recting what she considers injurious habits, checking up on bad grammar and bad manners, getting and serving dinner. When Father comes home, he plays his part In the family life. He con­ sults with the children about school problems, lays down the law with au­ thority on points where Mother thinks she has not been sufficiently impres­ sive, and adds the weight of his words in seeing that next day’s school work is prepared, and finally in getting the reluctant youngsters to go to bed. At last a few minutes of peace. Mother picks up the evening paper and reads: "The home is the weakest spot in America’s social fabric of to­ day,” Dr. W. A. Trettlen, professor of psychology in an Ohio university, de­ clared. “Its influence should be much f reater than it is. We should be orced to work out our domestic problems instead of sidestepping them.” ’ It puzzles Mother. She doesn’t quite see what more she could have done. She reads the item to Father. He is equally in the dark. Confiscated Game, Fish, Fed Inmatbs of State Institutions. + ■ 1 MICHIGAN BELL What happens to the thousands of pounds of fish and game that are con­ fiscated every year by conservation officers from law violators? A big gray book in the office of the law enforcement divisiofa of the con­ servation department holds the an­ swer to the question. ’ In this book is written a complete history of every conservation law vi­ olation case. It lists the defendant's name, the officer who apprehended him, and anything confiscated, togeth­ er with the disposal of the confiscated property. The most generally confis­ cated property Is fish and game. During the first six months of this year, throughout the state, conserva­ tion officers confiscated 21,545 pounds of fish held illegally. At the average retail price for fish, this was worth $4,309. . Fish confiscated Is not permitted to ■poll. It is given to some charitable institution. Scores of poor farms, or pban homes, and hospitals have fed confiscated perch, trout and whitefish to their inmates, patients and charg­ es. Prisoners at Jackson and Mar­ quette prisons have feasted on fish caught by some game violator. Many needy families have tasted of the bounty provided indirectly by some man who violated a game law. During the first six months of this year, conservation officers confiscated 13,672 pounds of perch; 6,223 pounds of whitefish;. 1,109 pounds of yellow pickerel; 235 pounds of trout; 92 lbs. of grass pike; 115 pounds of catfish and 91 pounds of sunfish. The larges: individual seizure was made at Detroit last winter when 13.**72 pounds of perch were taken. No single Institution could handle the en­ tire amount. The department called Jackson Prison, the Detroit House of Correction and several hospitals, ask­ ing stewards how much fish they could conveniently handle. In this way the entire catch of almost seven tons was disposed of. TELEPHONE CO.

"I tried a score or more of medi­ cines in a vain effort to escape from the clutches of Indigestion, constipa­ tion and weak kidneys,” said Mr. James Ivails. 207 North Second street, Niles, Mich. "I bad no appetite and what I did eat caused gas and bloat­ ing. Constipation saturated my sys­ tem with poisons and impurities, and in this the kidneys helped. "I beard and read so much about Konjola that I felt it must have mer­ it and worthy of a fair trial. How glad I am now. In three weeks the constipation was relieved and the kldneys strengthened and the poisons were eliminated. My appetite and di­ gestion improved rapidly. Konjola put an end to all of my ailments, and that is why I take pleasure in rec­ ommending it to others. My one reF-et about this new medicine is that did not take it sooner."

This was done to meet the requirements of a constantly in­ creasing demand. For the past year the dally service period has been from 6:30 a. m. to 10 p. m., New York time. This enlargement of the service has been facilitated by the recent opening of the short wave radio transmitting center of the American Telephone & Telegraph company at Lawrenceville, N. J. Two short wave transmitters are now in operation there, providing, with the original long wave circuit, a total of three radio telephone chan­ nels across the Atlantic. Hitherto, due to the difference in time between points linked to the ov­ erseas telephone, a maximum of six hours between Michigan and middle Europe and nine hours between Cali­ fornia and the same old world terri­ tory. the service has not been availa­ ble everywhere throughout the busi­ ness day. The 24-hour service will re­ move that drawback. It' is expected, also, that it will make the use of the service more convenient, although It cannot eliminate the handicap impos­ ed by the rotation of the earth, in consequence of which the business­ men in San Francisco are reading their morning mall long after those in Vienna have gone home to supper.

GARAGE - across street । Now that school has started In earnest the first thing concerning it that brings an enthusiastic look to a student's face Is the mention of foot­ ball. This year Nashville has a new coach, who comes highly recommend­ ed, and from whom we expect much. Already he has shown us something new to N. H. S.. by way of getting cooperation between school activities and the students themselves. Mr. Boekhout has ordered some new equipment, which the fellows certain­ ly need. There are fourteen candi­ dates for the team, of which eleven will be soon selected, all having pass­ ed a physical examination Of this number Paul McDowell, last year's captain, Bryant DeBolt and Richard Graham are the only veterans left for the team this year. Gerald Olmstead, another candidate, shows promise. He was on the Bellevue team last year. Louis Diamante, Voyle Varney, Rob­ ert Mason and Ned Tieche seem to be­ long to the class that although they cannot be called veterans, neither are they entirely without experience. Leon Housler seems to be pretty good, but he seems to be a little slow. A little more pep will help a lot, Leon. Ev­ erett Couch is rather small for a football player, but is coming down the line in spite of that handicap. George Wotring, the shark at catch­ ing t£e passes, Keith Graham, Glenard Showalter and Paul Bell com­ plete the list of candidates. Mr. Boekhout reports that the candidates show much promise, and that al too' we have so many inexperienced men. still we have "the team" and a lot of enthusiasm, so we fear no opponent. The first football game of the sea­ son will be played at Hastings on Sep­ tember 28. We hope there will be a crowd of people from Nashville to help the fellows on their first game, because as Methuselah said, “The first hundred years are the hardest." Let’s show the fellows and Mr. Boekhout that we appreciate their efforts by be­ ing at the Hastings game. Vote for Housler!

A shortage of three and one-fourth Inches of moisture during the three summer months and almost no,rain­ fall during the last seven weeks has created a drought that has not-been equalled in severity since that of 1894. As a result, all of the late sea- > son crops have suffered greater de-. clines in condition than in any recent year according to the September re­ port issued today by Herbert E. Pow­ ell, Commissioner of Agriculture and Verne H. Church, Agricultural Statis­ tician. The corn crop was estimated on September 1 at 36,984.000 bushels, a cut of nine and one-half millions dur­ ing the month of August, and the smallest production since 1902. Many fields have set no ears and most of the others show decided drought effects with poorly filled and shortened ears. The average yield of oats was re­ ported at 29.5 bushels per acre which indicates a production of 44,809,00 bushels. The tea-year average yield is 32.2 bushels. Last year’s produc­ tion amounted to 58,461,000 bushels. Barley also yielded below the average, the average as reported to date being 23.5 bushels in comparison with the ten-year average of 25.1 bushels. The crop is estimated at 6,016 bushels. Michigan's bean crop is now esti­ mated at 5,523,000 bushels, a drop of nearly 1,100,000 bushels since toe pre­ vious month's estimate. Notwith­ standing the fact that 20 per cent more acres were planted this year than were harvested last year, toe present outlook is for a crop of 400,­ 000 bushels under last year’s produc­ tion. Drought and extreme heat blasted many of the pods and changed the situation from one of excellent prospects to one with the smallest yield per acre since 1917 except that of 1927. Drought also played its part in re­ ducing the popato prospects from 29,­ 273,000 to 23.783,000 bushels between August 1 and September 1. The late crop might have been improved If rains had arrived before September 10, but, as toe drought has not been materially relieved to date, it is doubtful if more than slight gains can be made in the late fields. The esti­ mated United States production de­ clined about 24 million bushels since last month’s report Indicating that toe drought has been widespread in its effects. The tarn? hay crop shows a de­ crease of 244,000 tons from last month's indicated production al­ though the prospects still stand for the largest crop on record. The al­ falfa crop is estimated at 1,119,000 tons or 130,000 tons more than the average crop of the past five years. The average yield per acre of sweet clover hay was reported at 2.00 tons per acre; that of timothy at 1.45 tons, and clover and timothy mixed 1.55 tons.

L GLASGOW LOCAL NEWS The plain, unadulterated truth— believe it or noL The truth has just leaked out why Dan Feighner and Bill Cortright, two of our Nashville Ike's, never come home with a mess of fish, yet they always claim they have had a most enjoyable fishing trip when they return home each time. These two fellers, the minute they get out on a lake and get their hooks bated, go sound asleep. Occasionally they go to sleep even before they get located on the lake, f'rinstance just the oth­ er day. they went over to Lake One. because they claim it is so near at home, and after they had put their poles, and the balt in the boat, put the oars in the proper position and un­ locked the boat, darned if both of 'em didn't drop sound asleep right on the shore. A little later Bill woke up,' looked at his watch, then asked Dan if be had hkd a bite yet. Dan replied : "Nary a nibble." About this time Bill had awakened sufficiently to make the startling discovery that their boat had drifted right out into the middle of the "ocean" and that they werq, still standing on the shore. They didn't want to come back to Nashville and leave their fishing utensils up at Lake One. and the only boat left at the lake was locked. Nothing to do but walk about forty rods, down to the home of the owner, borrow his key. and then go back after their own boat. This tale, would have ended right here, had Bill and Dan followed out their first intentions, but when they final­ ly got into their own boat they de­ cided to try their luck just a few min­ utes. Naturally they were soon both sound asleep again. Bill soon started talking right in his sleep, and com­ plained that hi* pole was awful heavy and just seemed as though he could feel a big fish yanking on it all the time. Bill kept talking so much Dan just couldn’t sleep and when he opened his eyes, behold perched right on Bill’s pole was the biggest fish hawk that ever cut the air in the neighborhood of Lake One. When Dan saw that fish hawk he let out such a yell that it awakened Bill. who dropped his pole and the hawk and ev’thing into the lake perplunk. Those two fellers are just naturally tender hearted, and they were both down-right ashamed of themselves to think they had played such a mean trick on that bird, and at once started to rescue it. Finally. Just as the bird was going down for the third time Bill managed to get an oar under it and faired it out of the water. The flan hawk after giving Bill and Dan a couple of nasty looks, gave a few healthy flaps to shake the water from its plumage and then beat it for tall timber. Every fish in the lake had been frightened, so Bill and Dan tied up their lines and came back to town —minus a mess of fish—as usual. W. C. T. U. The W. C. T.

It was absurdly sim­ ple when we came to think about it, but I doubt if any one not trained in woodcraft would have done differently than we. We had been going ever since noon tn exactly the opposite direction; and by this time were three or four hours’ travelling from Fair Oaks! Just by way of diversion we now had an argument as to which way the nearest farm-house lay from where we were. We had determined to post­ pone trying to reach Fair Oaks until morning and wanted food and shelter for the night I thought that I had seen farm buildings on our right, about a mile back on the trail. Hemmingway in­ sisted that they were on the left. “There is no use quarreling about it,” I said finally. "There is nothing to prevent each of us going the way he thinks is right It's a cinch we will both find shelter if we keep going far enough.” So we separated. We had grown in­ tensely tired of one another anyway; especially since hunger had put an edge on pur tempers. Hemmingway started southwest and I branched off over toward the north. It grew dark very rapidly after the sun was gone, but the snow on the ground made it fairly easy to see and I was able to hit up quite a fast pace. But the farm-house I thought I had seen did not materialize. I could have sworn it was in that direction, too. Rather than give up I pushed on further. I did not like the idea of go­ ing back to Hemmingway and admit­ ting that I was wrung. Surely if I kept on in the same direction I had been going I would eventually reach some sort of shelter and food! It was a long time, though, before I saw a welcoming light I can't say just how long, but. I would have guess­ ed several hours. Anyway I was so thoroughly fatigued that I could just barely drag one ski after the other. But when I saw the light I quick­ ened my pace and made for it. I was afraid that the people who lived there would go to bed before I could arrive. As I passed over the snow I had a curious sense of familiarity, a feeling as if I had been there before. It was­ n't so much that I recognized any­ thing specific, but I just felt more or less at home. There was something in the air. All at once the moon came cut, and as it did the building toward which I was heading loomed large against the •ky. . I knew at once why the neighbor­ hood had seemed familiar. The build­ ing was the Old Soldiers' Home, and I had walked all'day to return at night to the very spot from which I had started. I had no very cheerful vision of a warm welcome upon my return to the Home, but it was a case of any port in a storm, so I continued on my way. The Home was still half a mile dis­ tant when the light went out. But I plugged on. I felt pretty sure that I could get in without waking any one up. which I decided would be much the better way because I could avoid explanations. As I drew nearer in the shadow of the woods that bordered the road I saw a figure dart suddenly from their protecting shade across the patch in­ tervening moonlight to the Old Sol­ diers' Home. That struck me as rather curious. Why should any one be in such a hur­ ry and why so furtive? I thought it over quite a while ?s I stood there waiting for something else to occur. Then a solution occurred to me. It was doubtless the other escaped pris­ oner, the one who had held us up in the road when we haji started for home the first timc>/ As soon as—r"arrived at that deductiotj—ITloo.. hastened in the same direction that he had gone. By the time I got to the front of the building he had disappeared. An open window however Indicated very plainly where he had gone, and removing my skis I bad no hesitation in following him. It was hard work for me to climb thru, but I managed it. There was enough moon..ght com­ ing into the living-room where I found myself for me to see that there was no one there. I hardly expected that he would linger long. He was doubt­ less searching for the room in which Bill, his partner was confined. There was nothing on the main floor except the living room and the service quarters. I glanced hastily in each room below and then went up­ stairs which was a more likely hunt­ ing ground. I paused at the head of the stairs scarce breathing. He was not there. While I waited, senses alert and nerves taut, a figure glided out thru a door and went down the hall away from me. It disappeared in a moment thru another door. I waited perhaps two minutes. It reappeared again and passed on to the next room. I was in a quandary what to do. If I raised an alarm the chances were about even that he would escape. It seemed better to capture him single­ handed. Therefore, when he disappeared in­ to the next room I followed down the hall. As I did I heard a door In back of me open, but was too intent on my quarry to pay much attention to the sound in the rear. I came to the door where I had seen my man disappear last. It stood open, I stepped in and closed it soft­ ly after me. Next I felt gropingly for the electric light switch on the wall. Before I could find it there was a woman's scream in the room some­ where ahead of me, and then at my back I heard a clicking sound in the door I bad just closed. My hand found the switch. I turn­ ed it on. Sitting bolt upright tn bed. with a revolver levelled at me. was Maryella. There was no one else in sight! CHAPTER XU Several Surprises. “Throw’ up your hands.” Maryella commanded, undecided how to treat a burglar whom she knew by his flrot name, but choosing at length the con­ ventional procedure.

Maurer s ■ MOVE MADE TO Philip Spoke to Chamber of Commerce Monday START NEW BAND FOR NASHVILLE FIRE DESTROYS CURTIS KNOLL HOME MONDAY PROPOSITION PUT UP TO CHAM­ BER OF COMMERCE; H. W. WALRATH WILL DIRECT?. EXPLOSION OF KEROSENE STOVE STARTS BLAZE; NO IN­ SURANCE COVERS LOSS. Possibility that Nashville will have a band of its own came to light Mon­ day evening in the first regular Chamber of Commerce meeting to be held this fall. A proposal that village interests furnish a place for rehears­ als and stand the expense of music was laid before the commercial body, with provision that H. W. Walrath would direct the organization without charge. , That the proposal will meet with favorable action was indicated by members of the chamber of commerce Monday evening and a committee ap­ pointed to handle details of arrange­ ments has already reported headway being made. Just when the real start will be made is not yet known but ac­ tion can be expected within a very few weeks. Nashville can have a "crackerjack" of a band, in the opinion of several members of the chamber of com­ merce who are interested in the pro­ ject. They call to ’mind the •'good old days" when the village had its band and ranked high-among such or­ ganizations about this part of the state. Quite naturally, they'd like to see the old reputation repeated. There are a few of the "old timers" left, who played in the years gone by and .who would be willing to step in­ to the ranks and help some young­ sters along now. With this assist­ ance Mr. Walrath should have a fair organization going by next summer when concerts could be made regular attractions during the season. Giving a detailed account of his trip to East Orange, N. J., at the time of the national contest for the Thomas A. Edison scholarship, Philip Maurer on Monday evening entertained the members of the Chamber of Com­ merce with interesting incidents oc­ curring during the several days’ jour­ ney. . Of special interest also was the Ed­ ison phonograph-radio which was Eresented to Philip by Mr. Edison in onor of his successful competition for state honors in the contest. The machine was taken to Belson's Bak­ ery. the meeting place of the com­ mercial organization, and "hooked up” so that the audience might enjoy its wonderful tone and reproduction qual­ ities. 17567139 CRASH SUNDAY P.

KLEINHANS GETS BUSINESS CONDUCTED BY FATHER 40 YEARS DEPARTMENT STORE WILL BE CONDUCTED UNDER W. H. KLEINHANS NAME AS BEFORE. As part of the settlement of the W. H. Kleinhans estate, H. C. Kleinhans becomes sole owner of the department store on Main street formerly owned and operated by his father over a per­ iod of more than forty years. The settlement was made Monday after­ noon. . Mr. Kleinhans is thoroughly famil­ iar with the business he acquired. He has been associated with his father in the conduct of the retailing of dry goods, clothing and sb^es for a period of several years, and upon his father's retirement last year because of ill health he took over the management of the store, continuing in that capac­ ity since the death of the elder Mr. Kleinhans. The store, will continue under the trade name of “W. H. Kleinhans." and the business policy will continue much the same as here­ tofore undei his management. NOTICE.

With the International Egg Laying Contest at Michigan State College swinging into the home stretch, pro­ duction records exceed those of any previous year that the contest has been conducted. Hen number 278. owned by George H. Freeman, Middletown, Ohio, has lived up to the requirements of her number by laying 278 eggs in 300 days. This bird is a single comb Rhode Island Red. The records of the high individuals in other breeds arc: Barred Rocks, 249 eggs, high hen owned by Schiewe Poultry Farm. Algonac; White Rocks, 203 eggs, high hen owned by Elmer Haines. Vassar; rose comb Rhode Island Reds. 210 eggs, high hen own­ ed by C N. Whittaker, Lawrence; and White Leghorns, 273 eggs, high hen owned by Pontiac Trail Poultry Farm. Milford. The high production record for a •pen of 10 birds goes to J. A. Hanson, Corvallis, Oregon, whose White Leg­ horns have laid 2351 eggs in the 300 days. The West Neck Farm, Hunt­ ington. N. Y.. pen of Rhode Island Reds has a record of 2071 eggs, and the Barred Rocks owned by F. E. Fo­ gle. Okemos, have laid 2013 eggs. The contest will continue for 60 days and any slackening in egg pro­ duction will result in a shifting of4 place among the leaders. Members of the poultry department at the College believe this year's contest will dis­ cover an unusual number of birds which will lay 300 eggs during the year. NEW GAME LAWS DISTRIBUTED BY DEPT.

In Canada PROGRESS BENEFITS ALL A century ago the first power news­ paper press was put in operation. Prior to then newspapers were print­ ed on hand presses, slowly and labor­ iously. The first power press was run by steam. The hand press had an output of 250 copies an hour. The steam press increased the output to 1100 copies an hour. When this first power press was placed In operation in the office of the London Times the pressmen opposed it. < Their expressed objection was that it violated the Biblical injunction that man should earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. Their obvious and real objec­ tion was that one man could operate the power press whereas four men were necessary to run the hand press. Today labor welcomes labor-saving devices. Modern production could not be maintained by the hands of all the labor in the world and yet with ma­ chines doing the work of hundreds of men there is no surplus of labor. In civilized countries virtually every­ thing is done by machine, but unem­ ployment is local and temporary. Long opposed by labor, the machine has furnished more work and better . pay for labor. Thus does man, actually by selfish motives, often oppose his own cause, yet labor can not be condemned for obstructing mechanical development at a time when every mechanical im­ provement served to increase already general unemployment. Industrialism presents an awesome and paradoxical picture when divided into the two stages of handcraft and machine manufacture. When every­ thing was made by hand there was over-production and unemployment. Now that everything is made by ma­ chine there is under-production and work for all. la a Santa Claus, even though Santa disappeared out of his or her life, in childhood forever.

If you knew the insM* story of that man or woman you do not like because of ''something or other;’’ perhaps if you would draw a little closer and raise the'rurtain of their lives, you would stand back in amazement, and then wonder why you had disliked them without knowing why. Perhaps—but. why go on ? Let .us begin now to think of some one to make happy thia Christmassome one who is undoubtedly over­ looked in the mad, glad rush. Per­ haps this some one may be rich or well-to-do financially; it docs not mat­ ter, whether rich or poor, make it a point this year to remember some of these unfortunate, unhappy victims around whose lives fate seems to have hung a pall. THE TURKEY’S MARTYRDOM. The approach of Thanksgiving sug­ gests the question: Does the turkey enjoy being eaten? He does, if he Is given to know the satisfaction that goes with fulfillment of purpose. That bird was made to be eaten. Men’s pal­ ate says so, and the texture of the turkey’s meat and the generous dis­ tribution of “light and dark" around his bones are confirmation strong as proof of Holy Writ. Then there 1* the turkey’s proverbial pride, which war­ rants the inference that he puffs him­ self up in vanity over his surpassing edibility. For what else could he be so vain? The turkey's life is a careful pre-# paration for martyrdom in the cause of man. For months the bird is given to gormandize. Its pride also is fed, with the admiringly appraising glances of humans that are cast its way. And to cap the climax of its glory it has become identified with a holiday. In its apotheosis it is glori­ fied. Culinary art exhausts Itself in Kreparation of the bird for table and . is honored with the richest plate in the closet. If the turkey’s pride lives after it, it is well repaid by the honors showered upon it in kitchen and dining hall by a grateful nation. In colleges now the higher learning is bow to tackle low. The man who rushes into trouble usually hobbles out on crutches. It is sometimes disappointing to discover that a hero is only human af­ ter all. There are some persons wno seem to prefer failure to minding their own business. Spending makes you poorer, but it gives you a delightful sensation of be­ ing rich. Any pedestrian knows the exact percentage of boneheads who are driv­ ing automobiles. A five-cent cigar is probably about as satisfactory as anything else that is cheap these days.

While we are talking about the price of ducks there is another price that is sometimes paid. That price is in human life, hunters who are shot and killed or die in the water. Human life is a big price to pay for mallards and blue bills. But there are chances to prevent the payment of such a price and we think that the advice recently given by the Izaak Walton League is worth reading and following. Here it is: Don’t shoot over your partner’s head in a blind or boat. The small size of a duck boat makes this es­ pecially dangerous. If there ore two guns in a boat use all the care you can. Sit side by side or back to back, close enough together that neither can get within the range of the oth­ er’s gun. e t . Don’t pole your boat through the rice beds or rushes with the man in the stern ready to . shoot Let the man in front do the shooting, the man behind take care of the poling, and bis gun should be unloaded and laid down in the bottom. Plenty of hunt­ ers in the bow of a boat have raised up just in time to put their necks in the path of a charge of shot fired from the stern. 'A CHRISTMAS SUGGESTION.

Don’t shoot toward another boat or blind that can possibly be within your range, whether you can see hunters in it or not. Don’t load your guns and lay them down so they point at another hunt­ er or yourself. Better leave them un­ loaded 'until you reach the shooting grounds. If you are poling or pad­ dling with them loaded, point the bow gun ahead, the stern gun behind, with the muzzles over the ends of the boat where no one can get in front of them. Don’t push your gun into the boat or drag It out with the muzzle toward you. This same rule goes for enter­ ing or leaving a blind, too. Don’t take a gun when you paddle out to retrieve ducks unless a wound­ ed bird makes it necessary. You may miss a shot but you may miss shoot­ ing yourself as well. Retrieving is not a job that calls for a gun. And finally, if you would avoid a fervent cussing from every other hunter on the marsh, don’t shoot at ducks until they come within range of your blind or boat. This isn’t a safe­ ty measure, but it’s worth remem­ bering for all that. Clarksburg, W. Va—Tired of a life of darkness mid misery. Mrs. Fred A.

Life From The Side Lines By “Little” Fike WATCHES I We have all kinds, styles and qualities from $ 1.00 up. We sell watches as 1 cheap as any mail order house on earth, I besides we stand back of every one. There are many watches bought at so-called barr gain firms by mail that are worse than I worthless because they are only a source of expense. Let us convince you that we can meet any I price anywhere. SAVE WITH SAFETY AT Von W. Furniss’ I Numerous reports coming to this office regarding the destruction and havoc among sheep in this vicinity, caused by worthless and stray dogs, incites us to write this article. We do not wish to infer that all dogs art­ worthless and dangerous, nor do we desire to encourage the wholesale de­ struction of dogs that should happen to wander upon your premise*. But, we do say. that all dog* running at large and not under the immediate control of their owner are an absolue nuisance. From these recent report* of sheep being killed, not in one locality alone, but in'almost every direction from Nashville, one may well ask the question: ‘'Must the farmers of Barry county abandon the breeding of sheep in preference to the raising of worth­ less dogs?” It would almost seem to be a fact. There are just two kinds of dogs— valuable dog* and worthless dogs. There are likewise just two kind* of dog owner*—owner* who value and love their dog*, and know where they are at all times. There are owners of dog* who keep one or two dogs around just because they want the satisfac­ tion of "owning a dog”, nothing more. They take a rhnnee that their docs will stay at home and that they will escape being shot. Perhapa their in­ tentions are good—but. these of owners are thoughtless in the ex­ treme. Perhaps your dog never killed or chased sheep to your knowledge. It's not the '’professional*' sheep dog that does the moat damage. That dog la usually done away with. It's ' doesn’t make When sheep of a nearby neighbor, who could expect them, when they see a strange dog in their field*, to feel at ease, go about their work or get in their auto Bad go to town ? We wonder how many dog owner* really stop to think just the extent and amount of damage that result* in dollars and cents when several fine Sep have been killed by dog*; Not y can the amount of damage be placed on the actual animals killed, but the entire flock is often rendered worthless for breeding purpose* when once dog* have done their work. If you own a dog and value it. oyr advice Is to take care of IL If you have a dog that you haven't any par­ ticular use for—kill it or get some one to do the job for you. The farmer pay* taxes, and build* expensive fences to keep his livestock from being a general nuisance. What's wrong in asking that the dog owner be compelled to do the same thing— or at least chain his dog where he will know that it is not going to get into mischief? Let’s respect the rights of other* a* we expect them to re­ spect our right. That’s just friendly and common-sense cooperation—noth­ ing more. . Personally I am a dog owner—and a lover of (good) dog*. To me all dogs are not bad dogs. But all dogs that are permitted to live should have a purpose, and a home, ant^he owner should know where they at all times—not suppose that he knows. Recently a dog (or dogs) has been in my own flock of sheep, and I am ask­ ing those who own dogs that might. In the past, have been running around on our premises, to take care of them.

Mrs. Margaret " Downing and Mrs. Amanda Downing motored over to Carlton and .took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Martin Faulkner. Mr. Faulkner celebrated his 90th birthday some time ago. About 70 years ago he was a resident of Northeast Castle­ ton (when the writer—Mr. Raymond —was a kid). Mr. Faulkner is a very active and a well-preserved man. and to show that he was still on deck he demonstrated it by executing the oldtifne "double-shuffle” step, and getting out his old fiddle he treated the com­ pany to "Turkey in the Straw”, and other old-time melodies. bars for Makes quick and lasting suds.

"Bonkura went right to the source of my trouble.’ 'said Mr. Clifford C. Clark, 1009 Euclid Place. Lansing. Mich., an employe of the City Nation­ al Bank and a World War veteran. "Since the War. I suffered somajlhing awful with stomach trouble, gas, in­ digestion and constipation. Many times I could hardly walk and do my daily work, because of the terrible neuritis pains across my back and in my limbs. I was always tired and had no energy. "The many medicines I took were worthless, some made me worse, but Bonkura was the surprise of my life. The first few doses clenn.«ed my sys­ tem completely and brought out all noisonous waste matter; which elimi­ nated my stomach disorders, gas and indigestion. Immediately my terri­ ble neuntis pains disappeared and I felt like a new man. I now enjoy my ncals and do my work happily. Bon­ kura deserves ail the credit. I will ;lodly tell anyone, that it has done more for me than was claimed for it." I Bonkura is sold at Von W. Furniss’. —Advt.

Elevator Aas’n Nashville, JUchlgu �in the room stood an army com­ prising almost all of the male popula­ tion. The sheriff was taking no chances of being outnumbered. “You didn’t know I was awake, did you?” the sheriff exulted. "WeH. I was. I heard you break in and I fol­ lowed you to this room and locked you in." He peered nearsightedly at my face. "WeU I'm blessed, durn me if 1 ain’t. Ain’t you one of the men that started for town?" “I am,” I admitted. “Tom Bilbeck.” exclaimed Jim Cooper, coming forward. “I’m glad you came back. It’s all for the best. I want you to be the first to congratu­ late me on my engagement to Miss Waite." . My stunned mind refused to assim­ ilate his statement. In the midst of a battle I suppose a soldier would not pay much attention to the news that his sweetheart had married another man. The mention of Maryella’s name, however, made me think with a sink­ ing sensation of the predicament I had unwittingly placed her in. I looked around to see how she was taking it. ' She was nowhere in sight. At first I was puzzled. Then I no­ ticed the door across the room. She must have gone in there. Probably it was a closet. I made no mention, however, of my suspicion. ’ Possibly the incident could be ended without her taking part in it. . "What were you doing here?" de­ manded the sheriff. “There’s some­ thing peculiar about this.” “Yes, there is," I admitted. ’Come down stairs to the main room where it is warmer and I’H explain what happened. My plan was obvious. By leading the crowd off I would give Maryella an opportunity of getting out.

I came back and followed y*&ur tracks in the moonlight. And now Tve caught you. you viper!" All at once his eyes fell upon the dresser. There in plain view lay the strand of pearls which Maryella had worn at Galatea. “My wife's pearls!” he exclaimed savagely. "So you came right to her room! My God, I can’t conceive of such iniquity. Where Is she now? What have you done with her?" I preserved a dignified silence. What use to argue with a raving maniac like that? s "Have you killed her?” he demand­ ed hoarsely. "WTiere is the body?" He ran around the room, looked un­ der the bed. and in the bureau drawers as if be expected to find mangled por­ tions of his spouse cut up into con­ venient sizes and stored away. At last he saw the other door and approached it "Don’t go in there," I warned. "Why not? Ha! So that's where you have her concealed?" I barred his way, but he ran at me Uke an enraged buff and hurled me aside with insane violence. He yanked the door open and then fell back in open mouthed amazement. Standing in the doorway blinking at the sudden light was a man whom I recognized after a moment as Jul­ ius. the escaped convict! No one was any more surprised at the turn of events than I was. To be expecting io see a beautiful girl in negligee emerge from a closet, and in­ stead to behold a tough-looking man with three days' growth of whiskers, is startling. Where was Maryella? I did not ask the question out loud. "Evening, gents," said Julius gen­ ially. What are you doing here?" the sheriff inquired. •’Why, it was sort of cold outside." explained Julius, “and I thought you wouldn't mind my coming in to get warm. Besides 1 thought It was about time for Bill and me to be mov­ ing. so I come to get him." “WeH, of all the cussed nerve—!’’ the sheriff wondered. “Then where is my wife?” shouted Hemmingway. “What have you done with the woman I love?" "Oh, John, do you mean that?" From the rear of the crowd came Mrs. Hemmingway’s voice. She struggled through the throng to reach the side of her mate. He held out his arms to her, but paused suspiciously? “Where have you been?" “Safe in bed until all this racket woke me up." “Then this isn't your room ?” “No." "But your pearls were on the dress­ Nazarene Church.

CHAPTER XIII. By Ice-Boat. The searching party bad'given up the chase of Julius long before I got up. It was a mighty tired bunch of old men that assembled for break­ fast. They were going to cat and then go to bed for an all-day snoozfe. As for me. I was tremendously re­ freshed and ready to face anything that came along. While we were at breakfast the sheriff, who had gone in to look at the other prisoner, came back wide-eyed and trembling. "Boys," he said, ‘Tve got bad news." “What is it?" we demanded. "My prisoner is dead." “Dead?” some one echoed. • "Yep. I didn't know he was ailing, neither. I went in just now to untie the ropes that I used to hitch him in bed with and he didn’t move. I put my hand on his bead and it was cold as ice. He is a corpse, I tell you. I want one of you feHows to come and examine him for me.” The old soldiers showed little in­ clination to move, even for so excit­ ing an adventure, so it was up to me. I accompanied the sheriff to the room which he was using as n temporary jail. The shades were drawn, but on the cot I could see the dim outline of a man’s figure. Just as the sheriff had done. I first ESTABLISHED WHERE ECONOMY RULES Scot Tissue It was cold and lifeless. I shud­ dered a little at the presence of death. "Pull up the curtain." I suggested. The sheriff fumbled with the shade, which escaped from his nervous fing­ ers and went up to the top with a Quaker or Mother' bang. We both jumped as if we had been shot. I drew back the covers from the in­ animate form on the cot. It was the papier-mache statute of myself! “Gosh! What is it?” stammered the sheriff, who had not see our per­ formance and doubtless thought that Bill was a trifle pale. I explamcu briefly. “Then he has escaped, too,’ the sheriff sighed. “It looks like 1L” I said. Indeed he had. Pinned to the wall we found a penciled note.

Oct. 6, will be Rally . Day In local churches when, after the 'summer season of relaxation, a spe­ cial effort will be made to bring at­ tendance back to numbers equal, if not greater, than ever before. Special programs are-being provided in the Methodist and Evangelical Sunday Schools which merit the attendance of a large portion of the public. Rally Day is one of the outstanding events of the church year in that it marks the real beginning of the year's work. Summer vacations and recre­ ation take a large percentage of the church and Sunday school attendants away for a period of three months and the "rally day" idea was conceived and put in effect in order that a great­ er interest might be stimulated at the close of the summer season. Hereto­ fore it has met with success and this year is to be no exception, if plans for the social programs arc any indica­ tion. At the Methodist church the church service and Sunday school will be combi led in. one service, starling at ten o'clock. The public will be made welcome st any of the town's churches and it is hoped all will avail themselves of che privilege of attending somewhere. Work will be started Monday morn­ ing on Improvement of Reed street, following action' of village council at their last week in authorizing the streel committee to proceed with re­ surfacing and grading. A county scarifier has been secured to dig up the surface so it can be graded and when this is done a layer of gravel will be added. When completed the street, which carries all travel to and from Charlotte should be in excellent condition. It is an improvement that has been needed all summer. Muskrat trapping licenses will be issued through the same agents sell­ ing small game, deer and other game and fish licenses this year, it has been announced by the Department of Con­ servation. Last year 28,000 muskrat licenses were sold and all of them were issued at the Conservation De­ partment offices at Lansing. Licenses are expected to be in the hands of all agents this week. The muskrat trapping license costs $1.00 for 20 traps. Over 20 traps an addi­ tional fee of 10c for each trap is charged, not to exceed a total of 100 traps. Metal tags with the name and ad­ dress of the owner, in EnglLsh must be attached this year to each trap set for fur-bearing animals, according to a provision of the 1929 game law. The tags are not furnished with the li­ censes. Nashville's football squad is under­ going some intensive working out this week following their initial tilt with Hastings last Saturday afternoon. In their meeting with the boys from the county seat they were defeated 34 to 0. which only means that their de­ fensive was good, while their offen­ sive was somewhat wanting. Consid­ ering the fact that Hastings made a touchdown in the first minute of play -enough to take some of the heart out of any string of players made up of men playing their first game—the showing was very good. In the third quarter they held Hastings scoreless —another good sign that the defense was working. On Friday afternoon of this week the local squad will play before a Nashville crowd when Charlotte sec­ ond team comes here for a game at Riverside park. The statement has been made that Charlotte’s second team is as good as Hastings' firsthand means the boys have a real jtfb on their hands. However. Coach RQpkhout, after working on the boysrbr another week, stated’the fore part of this week that he expected his team to evenly match the Eaton county boys. He places a lot of faith in his line-up of "green” players, for many of whom this is their first year of football. New formations were given the boys at their Monday night practice and a shifting of the line-up from that used In Hastings is expected to bolster up the offensive. While a list of possible starters was given the News by Mr. Boekhout. he also added that last minute shifts were to be ex­ pected and that only those players who make satisfactory showings be­ tween now and Friday will be started. The game will start Friday after­ noon at 3.30 and Nashville fans are urged to come out and root. The probable line-up will be as fol­ lows: Mason, q. b.; Varney. Diamante and DeBolt, half backs; ends may be chos­ en from Olmstead. Babcock. Housler and Wotring, with a possibility that Babcock will be shifted to the back field; Keith and Richard Graham, tackles; guards. Bell and McDowell; Ned Tieche, center. Seven more games appear on the schedule, including the Friday game, with Charlotte. The others are: Oct. 11—Wayland, there. Oct. 18—Lake Odessa, there. Nov. 1—Bellevue, here.

Announcement of the proposal that Nashville have a band met with such enthusiasm that about all the "old timers" and "troupers" of former days have come forward with offers of assistance. The old cornets are be­ ing dusted off. the tubas are being polished and piccolo players are whistling their times in preparation for the time they strut Lheir stuff down Main street to the stirring strains of ‘The Stars and Stripes Forever.” As a result of the enthusiasm a meeting has been called for Thursday evening of this week, to be held in the Nashville club rooms.

Rifles and Shotguns Taken From Violators POULTRY BY THE THOUSANDS INSPECTED ON TRIP THROUGH SOUTHERN COUNTIES. Farms where they keep 5,000 laying hens, raise 25.000 chicks, keep 28,000 rabbits, have 1,500 turkeys, or grow and market 60,000.ducks a year, were just stopping places along the route of the second annual Michigan Poul­ try tour. That poultry raising has gone be­ yond the spare time class was prov­ ed by the inspection of plants which are equipped to incubate 140,000 eggs at one time and those which have lay­ ing houses to accommodate 5000 hens. The trend of the poultry business was shown by barns, which formerly had been used to house livestock but which after remodelling, are now de­ voted to the production of first class «CT«Eighty-two cars left East Lansing on the tour and this number was in­ creased at different points along the route. Towns visited were Bancroft, Holly, Oxford, Romeo, Denton, Ann Arbor, Bridgewater. Napoleon. Jack­ son. Springport, Battle Creek, Augus­ ta, Middleville and Lowell. A banquet at Lowell which was at­ tended by 200 poultrymen was the closing number of this year's tour. Fifty-one per cent, of all the game and fish law violations in. Michigan during the month of August were for possession of undersized fish, accord­ ing to a report issued by the law en­ forcement division of the Department of Conservation. Of 311 convictions through the state for the 31 days per­ iod, 166 were for having fish under the legal size, the report shows. Game and fish law violators paid aggregate fines and costs totalling $6,328.50. The highest individual fine was paid by C. L. Coppernall, Craw-! ford county, for pursuing and hunting deer. Coppernall paid a fine of $100 and costs of $21. Four of the law violators were women; all of whom were fined for fishing without licenses. One man, in Monroe county, was fined $23.25 and costs for permitting a dog to run loose in a state park. The law forbids anyone from taking a dog into a state park. Among the confiscated property taken by the department from law vi­ olators during the month were: 16 rifles and shotguns, two fish rods, two STATE OF MICHIGAN. traps, one raccoon four fish nets, and Office of the Commissioner of the 1,043.pounds of fish.

A City of New Telephone Buildings IN 1926, the Michigan Bell Telephone Company entered upon the largest expansion program in its history. The intervening three years have witnessed the engineering and construction of 25 new telephone buildings and major building additions throughout the state. Grouped together, these structures, housing thousands of tele­ phone workers and millions of dollars’ worth of equipment, would make an imposing “business city.” But this building construction represents only a portion of the extension of telephone plant by this Company during thqt period. Total expenditures for telephone plant expansion in Michigan the past three years were $72,000,000, greatly increasing facilities end improving the service. This is a continuing program, for as business and social activities increase, demand for still greater telephone expansion develops. This plant expansion and improvement would be meaningless if it were not translated into terms of service and a desire to afford increasing telephone comfort, convenience and satisfaction, and to meet the growing needs of the state. lowest cost consistent with DIRECTORS: BURCH FORAKER, PrwtfeM.

Although in our first game we were defeated by a high score, we still feel confident of the teani. They didn't quit-fighting and that's something to be proud of. Not many of the stu­ dents were at the game and that seems to be something that the student body should be ashamed of. It doesn’t seem fair to the football fellows when they do so much for the school with so little support. Per­ haps the trouble was owing to the day. Saturday is not exactly the best day for most of the Nashville stu­ dents. Let’s not let the fellows share all the honors of winning or of losing (there is honor in losing.) Let's have the people on the side lines doing their share. ‘ Following is the football schedule for 1929: September 28—Hastings, there. Oct. 4— OcL 11— Oct. 18—Lake Odessa, there. Nov. 1—Bellevue, here. Nov. 8—Hastings, here. Nov. >15—Bellevue, there. Nov. 22—Open. Nov. 28—Lake Odessa, here. We are hoping for a game with the Charlotte Reserves on October the 4th and also a game with Wayland on the 11th. * The first social event for the Sen­ iors was given Tuesday night at June Brown’s farm, south'of town. A large crowd was there and they all enjoyed themselves eating "weenies” and wa­ termelon. and playing "Ruth and Ja­ cob”. and 'Three Deep?” As the in­ terest was dying out a little, someone had the bright idea of going swimmlng. But the wise Mr. Boekhout re­ minded them that they had no axes with which to chop the ice in the pond. The Sophomores were entertained at Georgia Gribbin’s home Friday night About fifty students were During the evening Joeldix there. Joe Mir played his violin with Georgia ac­ companying him. Their music was enjoyed very much. Farrell Babcock kissed the Blarney Stone. Joe Mix proposed to Miss Lininger and Vada Belson won an Intelligence contest by making the most words from "Soph­ omore class." The class furnished sandwiches, co­ coa, pickles and cake as refreshments. The party was a success. Nashville, showing up unexpectedly on line play, but being unable to cope with Hastings’ fast, deceptive forma­ tion. lost a hard fought game by a score of 34 to 0. , The game was a great deal better than the score might suggest and ev­ erything was not always as rosy for Hastings as it might seem. Time af­ ter time Nashville drove through the Hastings line for first downs, only to lose the ball near the_goal line on a fumble. Nashville kicked off to Hastings, downing the man on the forty-yard line. On the first play. Nashville, fail­ ing to see their end’playing ouL let him get away with a long pass for a touchdown, Hastings then TUcked off to Nashville, who started a line driv­ ing attack, which drove Hastings back, time after time, and. after com­ ing within ten yards of the goal line, lost the ball on a fumble. The quarter enaed with the score 14 to 0. The rest of the game was well play­ ed. Hastings' more experienced team taking advantage of the breaks to run up a one-sided score. In the third quarter, a Hastings back was down on the 2nd yard line.

They were big peculiar looking mos­ quitos, they looked like Siamese twins. They came in pairs and triplets, and "My whiz." says Rene, "how they BITE.” When Rene looked up over h|s head—and saw that cabbage with the whole bottom dropped out— and evidently right down the collar of his shirt, juding by the way the tem­ perature was rising in that particular locality. Luck was with him however, he happened to remember he lived in Nashville—and he dropped his gun. and his coat and his HAT and beat IL But the sad thing about the whole af­ fair was that the inhabitants of that cabbage had become so ATTACHED to Rene they decided to go right home with him. The faster Rene ran the bigger hurry those yellowjackets seem­ ed to be in—they evidently figured that Rene would soon be home, behind locked doors, and that their fun would be ended. If you wish to know more about this particular hunting trip— ask Rene himself—he can tell you so much more about the minute details and the fine POINTS. When we ask­ ed Rene if he went back after his hat he said “NO!, there wasn't any use— my head had "grown” so big I just knew I could never get that hat on again anyway.” Had we been with Rene we could have saved him easily enough—we'd just yelled to him to jump into Quaker brook and "cover up" for an hour or two. Timken Bearings i I ' I । This new STAR, with either Timken Tapered Roller Bearings or “NO-OIL-EM” Bearings, running-in-oil, has great efficiency as a pumping power in 8 to 10 mile winds. As you know, any mill will pump wa^r in high winds, but the windmill that will provide water in the lighter breezes is the one you want. The Star can do this because it has a scientifically designed wheel. The fans have just the right curva­ ture and -are properly spaced. ii ' Bearings running in oil, with a flood of oil for cross­ head, guides and pitmans, reduce faction to the minimum. The better features of the old Star, two gears, two pinions and two pitmans, are retained. This gives a direct center lift to pump rod and equalizes the load on working parts of the mill. Star is pivoted on ball-bearing turn table. ★ v Come in and see thia ntw Star.

A. is due partly to the gains made in the western states and partly to a plant­ ed acreage ten per cent larger than that harvested last year. However, the fact that the drought effects have been greatest in the white variety states makes this month’s es­ timate of more than usual signifi­ cance to Michigan growers, according to Verne E. Church, Agricultural Statistician for the Michigan Co-Op­ erative Crop Reporting Service. Last year 85 per cent of the Michigan crop was of the white variety or a produc­ tion of 5,050,000 bushels. With a sim­ ilar percentage this year, the Septem­ ber estimate would indicate a produc­ tion of 4.711,000 bushels or a decrease of 339,000 bushels for the white va­ riety. In 1928 the states of Michigan, New York. Idaho. Montana. Wyoming, and California proauced 8,265,000 bushels of white beans or 97 per cent of the total United States production of this variety. If similar proportions SVSTIM ■ Rd of this year’s crop are of the white variety in each pf these states the es­ timate on September 1 would point to a production of 8,105.000 bushels of white beans or a decrease of 160.000 bushels compared to last year’s crop. Hence, the present indications for a larger total production of all varieties than last year for the country as a whole should have little effect upon the situation in Michigan. Last year’s high 'prices have practically cleaned up all stocks, and with prospects for a United States crop of white varieties no larger than last year’s, it setjms probable that this season's prices will be comparable with those of 1928.

It very keen competition with coopera­ tives in another section where cli­ matic and other differences prevailed. The cooperatives in one crop or com­ modity must be welded into one or­ ganization. The Board is specifically charged with responsibility in this connection. The fourth method of giving agri­ culture an economic equality with oth­ er Industry is that of preventing and controlling surpluses and this is un­ doubtedly the most difficult task the Board will confront. In the matter of non-perishable commodities financial assistance given the cooperatives to enable them to carry surpluses over into another crop year will undoubt­ edly be very helpful. But the prob­ lem of preventing the accumulation of surpluses Ln the face of attractive commodity prices is one to challenge the very best thought and ingenuity of the Farm Board. One thing seems can do little for the farmer unless he cooperates actively. With this con­ structive piece of legislation a reali­ ty it would seem a most opportune time for every sincere friend of agri­ culture to change front and “talk-up” agriculture instead of "talking-down" as we have done so generally in re­ cent years. No business could have survived the harsh things said of it by those actually engaged in it.

Some blunders are very amusing as well as embarrassing, and anyone is likely to make a blunder sometime in his fife. The one I am about- to relate was very -amusing, as it happened to a minister. One Sunday morning the organist took her place at her instrument be­ fore the choir entered, and was cor­ dially greeted by a gentleman who asked concerning the selection of the hymns. . The organist told him that the hymns had already been selected. He thought this strange, as he under­ stood that be was to select his own hymns in accordance with the ser­ mon. The organist * replied that -the min­ ister always selected the hymn and put the numbers on a slip of paper and left them on the piano. The gentleman, in a confused man­ ner, managed to ask. "Isn’t this the Baptist church?" "No, this Is the Methodist church." replied the organist. The gentleman laughed and said, "Well, that's a joke on me, I am sup­ posed to preach in the Baptist church this morning. Tell the minister I nearly took his service away from him." Then followed a good laugh and a hasty exit. —Jean Roe. Grade Notes.

Mrs. Hale Sackett entertained the 1 Methodist Missionary society, at the I first meeting of this conference year, Friday evening, Oct. 4. Mrs. Kellogg had charge of the devotionals. Mrs. Geo. Evans sang an appropriate solo. The lesson was from the first chapter of the new study book. “From Jerus­ alem to Jerusalem,” written by Helen Barrett Montgomery who has given much time to historical study. She has translated the New Testament and has been a life-long student of foreign missions. The book is a brief survey of the expansion of the Christian church throughout the cen­ turies. The secret of the phenomenal success of Christianity during the first century was its missionary passion. Christ war. the first missionary, and sent out all his disciples as mission­ aries. The commands of Jesus-in re­ gard to missions -are found in all of the gospels and in the book of Acts. I Because they do sot realize that the command to "go tell” is as binding as •'come unto me,” many Christians are uninterested and disloyal Within thirty years after the crucifixion of Christ there were christiaa c-burches in all of the great cities of the Roman Empire.

Miss Steddon felt a sudden tremor in Farhaby*s elbow; then It was gone from hers; she saw his thumb nail whiten as it gripped the hymn book hard. Something in the words he chanted seemed to stab him with a sense of guilt. He felt it a terrible thing for her to stand before that congregation and cry aloud words of ecstacy over her redemption from sin. Their secret, unknown, and uncon­ fessed. was concealed by the very clamor of its publication. And it troubled Farnaby mightily to be gain­ ing all the advantage of a lie by sing­ ing the truth.

Elwood had expected that the bad news would shock her. But he could not understand the look of ghastly terror she gave him. He forgot it In his own bitter brooding and did not observe the deathly white that blanch­ ed her pallor. Yet he had noted that she was paler of late and had added that wor­ ry to his backbreaking load of wor- She coughed incessantly, too, and kept putting her baud to her chest as if it hurt her there. On the way home under the wasted magic of the rising moon. Remember did not walk as usual between her father and mother with a hand on the arm of each. Tonight she kept at her mother's left elbow and clung so tight to the fat, warm arm that her mother whispered: “What’s the matter, honey?" „r’*N?thlng' " she faltered. I m just a little tired. I guess." Mem again was coughing violently and the rest of the way home Doctor Steddon was not a preacher anxious about his daughter's soul, but a father afraid of her life. The cough to her parents was an ominous problem. To her it might promise a solution. Next morning at her father's com­ mand Mem went to see Doctor Breth­ erick. She told him that her parents were afraid her cold was more than a cold, and she coughed for him. He asked her many questions, and she grew so confused and apt in blushes that he asked her more. Suddenlv he flung her a startled look, gasped, and stared into her eyes as If he would ransack her mind. In the mere shifting of his eyelid muscles she could read amazement, incredul­ ity, conviction, anger, and finally pity. All he said was. "My child!" There could be no solemner confer­ ence than theirs. Doctor Bretherick had attended Mem’s mother when the bora. He Ibougbl of her u a child, and now ahe dazed him and frightened Um br her myrtle ■mnaar^iaj *ii _ . _ . that he should help her out of her plight or help her out of the world. He refused to do either and de­ manded that ahe meet her fate with heroism. In the talk that followed, Dr. Bretherick drew out the fact Elwood Farnaby was “the man” and suggest­ ed a plan for their marriage when the telephone rang. The doctor's welcoming "Hello!” broke through a many-wrinkled Office la the Nashville club block. All dental work carefully attended to O God! Mem caught eagerly at grief. l, "Tell me!’ What's happened? What's happened to Elwood? He’> hurt. He’s killed.” It was Dr. Bretherick who after­ ward found a solution. "Your cough will take a long time to cure or kill," he said. "But it may come in very handy. Tve got it all thought out You can't stay in this town now, I suppose. Most of the animals crawl away and bide at such a time; so suppose you just vanish. Let your cough carry you off to—say, Arizona or California.” She was Startled at this un-dreamed-of escape. He went on: "I’ll tell the necessary lies. That’s a large part of my practice. And practice makes perfect You will go to some strange town—and pose as a widow. ’You will marry an imaginary’ man out there and let him die quietly. Then, if you ever want to come home here, you can come back as Mrs. Somebody-or-other.” He chose Woodville as the name. Mem was to write of Mr. Woodville’s devotion, then to describe- a hasty marriage and request that her letters thereafter be addressed to her as Mrs. Woodville. After a brief honeymoon she could eliminate Woodville in some way to be decided at leisure. It would be risky, he said, to let Mr. Woodville live too long. A hurricane struck the little town of Caverly on the day of Elwood’s funeral. When Mem expressed a wish to sing with the choir at the ser­ vice over their late fellow-singer, her mother cried, “A girl who’s got to be shipped out West has got no right to go out in weather like this.” So she stayed at home and stared through the streaming windows. She saw her poor old father set out to preach the funeral sermon. He had that valor of the priests which leads them to risk death in or­ der to defeat death; to endure all hardship lest the poorest soul go out of the world without a formal conge Doctor Steddon clutched his old over­ coat about him and plunged into rain that hatched the air in long, slanting lines. Again and again Mem revolted at the outrage of robbing her own par­ ents of their savings—their one shield against old age. She went again and again to Doctor Bretherick and de­ manded that 'he release her from her promises not to tell the truth and not to kiH herself. But he compelled her to his will, and she was too glad for a will to re­ place her own panic to resist him. For a necessary stimulant he prophe­ sied that somehow in that land of gold she was seeking she would find such wealth that she could repay her parents their loan with usury, with wealth, perhaps. Who knew? He spoke of many women who had begun poor and finished rich. “You might go into the movies, for Instance, and make more money than Coal Oil Johnny,” he said. Mem imbibed mysterious tonics at the doctor's office, and always came away buoyed up with the feeling that htr tragedy was unimportant, com­ monplace. and sure to have a happy finish But the moment she reached hoqie she entered a demesne where every­ thing was solemn, where jokes were never heard, except pathetic old witti­ cisms more important in Intention than in amusement. And at last, one day, quite unex­ pectedly. when she was under no ap­ parent tension at all, the girl went into Mrs. Steddon’s room and said, in a quiet tone: "Mamma. I want to tell you some­ thing. Fd rather break your heart than deceive you any longer." "Why, honey! Why, Mem dear, what on earth is it? You can't break this tough old heart of mine. What is it?" She whispered it so softly that her breath was hardly syllabled. "Mamma. I—I’m going to have—to have a baby.” The shock of the news was its own ether. Mrs. Steddon whispered back cowering: "You? You! My baby! You? A baby?” Mem nodded and nodded till her knees were on the floor and her brow in her mother’s lap. Old hands came gropingly about her cheeks. She felt the drip, drip of tears falling into her hair, each tear a separate pearl from a crown of pride. Then her mother fumbled at the dreadful question: "Elwood!" w Mrs. Steddon’s decision was easy, and she made no difficulty of the gross deceits involved. Her husband must be protected in his Illusions and wreaking his high moral principles on his own child. His child must be protected from the merciless world nnH the thn immediate Iraraz/Uota wrath u l 1 * V of the ..41 and vil- She said Little, she caressed much She confirmed Doctor Bretherick's girl and to the father. for the vast Southwest, throwing kiss­ es to her father and mother as they watched the train dwindling like a telescope drawn into itself. selves.

Thru her head an old tune ran: I saw the boat go round the ben', Good-by, my lover, good-by! The deck was filled with travelling men. Good-by, my lover, good-by! She was on a train going round bend after bend, and the train was fill­ ed with travelling men. Some of them, as they zigzagged along the aisles, swept her face and her form with glances like swift, lingering hands that hated to let her go. This was a startling sensation, a new kind of nakedness for her in-experienced soul. The eyes of the women flung along the aisle also widened and tarried as they- recognized in her a something she had not yet found out: that she was very, very pretty—attractive, compulsive. She was plainly dressed and had never been adorned. Only her neat­ ness kept her from shabbiness. But. she had beauty and appeal. On the train Mem had expected to find on the journey leisure for contrition and the remolding of her souk But the world would not let her alone. Every­ thing was new to her. Everything was a crowded film of novelty. She knew the minimum of the out­ side sphere possible to a girl who had had any education at all. She had never danced even a square dance. She had never ridden a bicycle or But, unfortunately, there seemed to be volition In neither of them;' they had just floated together with a mys­ terious bewilderment. The clanking uproar of the entrance into Kansas City filled her ears. Mem had never seen a great city, and this metropolis had a tremendous majes­ ty In her eyes. Remember, thinking to stretch her legs on the station platform, joined the passengers who choked tLc the straight corridor along the row of compartments. One of the doors op­ ened and framed a tall and powerful young man with a peculiarly wistful face. His eyes brushed Mem and he lifted his bat as he asked her pardon for squeezing past her. He knocked al another steel door and called through. "Oh. Robina, bet­ ter come out for a bit of exercise.” While he waited, some of the pas­ sengers were twisting their necks to watch him, and nudging and whisper­ ing to one another. When the door opened and Robina stepped out there was such if sensation and such a borish staring that Mem turned to look. A young woman of an almost daz­ zling beauty came out, smiling and bareheaded. She noted the yokelry in the corridor, and her smile died. She stepped back into her stateroom, and when she reappeared, she wore a large trooping hat and a thick black dq and healed, and she bloomed a trifle as a rose does when the sun gilds IL With great calm and as much of a bow as he could make without a sense of intrusion, the young man solemnly offered Mem his own hat and laid her magazines on his head. Then both of them laughed as he corrected the automatic mistake of his muscles. He blushed hotly, for he was not used to such blunders. Mem found an amazing magnetism in his smile ahd in his eyes. She did not know that that sad smile of his was making a millionaire of him. He was selling it by the foot—thousands of feet of it. His smile was broad enough to circumscribe the world and his eyes had enough sorrow for ail the audience. • He turned back to the waiting Ro­ bina. Robina was evidently not used to being kept waiting. She had had little practice. She resented the slight with such quick wrath that Mem could hear her protesting sar­ casm, a rather disappointing rebuke: “Don’t hurry -on my account, Tom." Two young girts assail-d Tom with shameless idolatry. One of them rat­ tled: "Oh, Mr. Holby, we knew you the minute we laid eyes on you. You’re our fave-rite of all the screen stars, and— You got no photographs with you, have you?"

The contractors, Johnson and Green, of Ann Arbor, expect to have the grav­ eling finished next week and when completed it will give a splendid highway across the two townships. The second highway is the new pavement on M-43 south and north of Hastings, parks of which have already been opened to the'public.

MONDAY 1555 State Records Fall In Pulling Contest MICHIGAN TEAMS KEEP SCOR­ ERS BUSY IN BATTLES STAG­ ED AT COUNTY FAIRS. Discussion of the relationship of the home and community to the teachers of the school and the benefits of ath­ letics in the school held the interest of a fair sized audience at the Parent­ Teachers’ association meeting Mon­ day evening at the school house. What the teacher may expect of the community and home was the subject of an address by Miss Beadle, a mem­ ber of the fr-culty. A. B. McClure discussed what the home and com­ munity may expect from the teachers. Interesting points wdre Drought out by both speakers. Mr. Boekbout, teacher and coach, presented the sub­ ject of athletics to the audience, giv­ ing many interesting sidelights on this phase of training which has be­ come so popular in ’lie past few years. Football, basket ball, base ball, track, etc., were mentioned by Mr. Boekhout along with a discussion of the benefits to be derived by students participat­ ing. Musical numbers were. Violin solo—Dora Foster. Piano duet—Cecile Betts and Mae Smith. Refreshments were served by first and second grade mothers following the program and an informal recep­ tion was tendered teachers in the kin­ dergarten room. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Fred Wotring, president of the P. T. A. The state record in horse pulling contests for both heavyweight and lightweight teams has been broken several times in contests held at 15 county fairs which were supervised by members of the animal husbandry de­ partment at Michigan State College. The record at the beginning of the year was held by the team owned by J. F. Gohr. Lansing, which pulled 3200 pounds. This record, in the heavyweight cla^s, was broken by a pull of 3275 pounds made at the Ionia fair by a team owned by George Ab­ bott, Ellwell.' This record held one day less than a month and was raised to 3300 pounds al the Saginaw Fair by horses owned by R. F. Langley. Flint. The Gohr team went out and gut their record back by pulling 3325 pounds at Mar­ shall. Records in the lightweight class were broken by teams owned by the Hall Orchard, Belding, and by Peter Horn, Charlotte. The Horn team now holds the record at 2925 pounds. The three heavyweight teams w’hlch have broken records this year will compete at Michigan State college during Farmers Week. Feb. 3-7. An attempt will be inaoe to belter the world's record pull of 3500 pounds.

The Hungarian partridge is also locally known as the "gray partridge” and is sometimes called the "red tail" because of the nch chestnut color of its tail feathers which are very con­ spicuous in flight. The Hungarian partridge is much smaller than our native partridge and is not likely to be confused with it. Releases of these birds have been made in Branch, Ogemaw. Oakland and Ingham counties, but the largest number are found in Lenawee and Monroe counties into which they have spread during the past six or seven years from Ohio plantings. ft is believed that with further pro­ tection these new birds will thrive and perhaps spread to other parts of Mich­ igan and become an important game species.

L. Mead A very pleasant surprise was awarded to Mil and Mrs. Merritt Mead on Friday^evening. October 11. when about forty-five ot their neigh­ bors and relatives arrived to help them celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. The evening was spent with music, songs, visiting and reminiscences of the many and varied happenings of the past twenty-five years. Much merriment was caused when Mrs. Mean appeared dressed in her wed­ ding gown. It certainly was quite a contrast with those ot the present day and we are wondering if those of today will not be just as odd on Mrs. Mead's fiftieth anniversary. Will Hyde, in very appropriate words made ".he presentation of a shower of sliver to the “bride and groom." . Dainty refreshments of ice cream, cake and wafers were served. After more merriment with songs and visi’ing, the guests departed at a late hour wishing Mr. and Mrs. Mead (at the very least) twenty-five or fif­ ty years more of happy companion­ ship. Guests were present from Chesan­ ing, Hastings, Nashville and the com­ munity. Mrs. Cameron McIntyre, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mead, was the spon­ sor of the surprise and much credit is due her for the pleasant evening spent by those in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Mead further celebrat­ ed their anniversary by spending Sat­ urday with their son. Russell, al the Michigan State college. Vast Areas Are Made Game Refuges By Conservation Dept. Michigan has now dedicated to the protection of game and other wild life 125,118 acres of land. Roughly this 125,118 acres of land is of three classes: those areas owned and controlled by the state; those pri­ vately owned but under special state protection; and those additional acres set aside as refuges and sanctuaries by legislative action or by the con­ servation commission using its dis­ cretionary authority. In seven large "standard" refuges comprising a total of 58,000 acres all game is protected. Six of these ref­ uges have large areas of state owned land adjoining on which the public is privileged to hunt during the open seasons, and one is in a national for­ est. All of" the "standard” refuges have year-long care takers and are pro­ tected by fire lines and fire towers. Briefly the seven "standard” units are: The Gladwin Refuge in. Sherman township. Gladwin county. It was created in 1921 and has a total area of 4.800 acres. Some but not much public hunting grounds adjoin this unit. ' The Crawford Refuge in Crawford County near Grayling. It comprises 21,100 acres in the Hanson Military Reservation. It was created in 1913. Public hunting grounds adjoin. The Iosco Refuge in Oscoda town­ snip, Iosco county. It contains 7,000 acres and was created in 1922. There are public hunting grounds adjoin­ ing. The Tawas Refuge situated in the Michigan National Forest m Iosco county. It comprises 7,500 acres.

PUREBRED BULLS WILL CREASE PRODUCTION DAIRY HERDS IN STATE. IN­ O F Spanish ships which used to sail east with cargoes of American gold were just carriers of small change when compared to the wealth that dairy specialists at Michigan State college believe was carried into north­ eastern Michigan by the Better Sires train. They say that the computation is just a case of simple arithmetic. Elghty-two purebred bulls were sold from the train and will be used to replace that number of scrub sires. The bulls will have an average of 15 daughters which will increase their dams' records of production by 100 pounds of butterfat a year. This in­ crease over a’ four year period of pro­ duction will total 1,968.000 pounds of butterfat with a value of 40 cents a pound or a total worth of $787,200. Visitors to the train totaled 1,845 at the 22 stops. The largest audience was at Cheboygan where 626 people listened tc the dairy talks and exam­ ined the exhibits. The largest number of bulls was sold in Alpena county where 13 ani­ mals were bought by farmers at two steps. Cheboygan county dairymen bought 10 bulls at the two towns where stops were made. ship. Montmorency county. It con­ tains 4.800 acres and was created in 1926. It was originally known as the Montmorency refuge. The last legis­ lature changed the name to the "Lun­ den Refuge” in.honor of the late Her­ man Lunden who was instrumental in causing the refuge to be created. Pub­ lic hunting grounds adjoin. The Ogemaw refuge in Foster township, Ogemaw county. It was created in 1926 and contains 5,700 acres. There are public hunting grounds adjoining. The Otsego Refuge In Corwith townshin. Otsego county. It was es­ tablished in 1912 and contains 12,200 acres. Public hunting grounds ad­ join. In addition to these “standard” units owned and controlled by tne state are the 64 state parks compris­ ing 24.384 acres on which hunting is prohibited. These parks are scatter­ ed throughout the state and include the Emmet. Munuskong and Hartwick Pines State Parks, all large tracts of wild land. The Wildfowl Bay Middle Grounds, recently established as a waterfowl sanctuary is also state owned and controlled. The second sort of refuge and sanc­ tuary includes about 45,280 acres in 240 individual units, privately owned, but under state protection for a given term of years. These areas include those refuges dedicated by their own­ ers before August 26, 1929, and the wild life sanctuaries dedicated by their owners since that time and plac­ ed under the protection of the depart­ ment of conservation. The number of these dedicated areas is constantly growing. Lands under the third classification Include three areas set aside by leg­ islative ack These are the Pine Lake Gull Lake, and Harbor Beach sanc­ tuaries. This classification also in­ cludes two areas set aside by order of the Conservation Commission using the Disfcretionary Power act These areas are: Little Bay de Noc, pro­ tecting wateifowl only, and an area of about 2,500 acres in Marquette county just north of the city of Mar­ quette. A very pleasant party was given one evening last week at the Com­ mercial Hotel by Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Glasgow to the Board of Directors of the Farmers & Merchants bank. It was in the nature of a complimentary dinner to Mr. Tuttle, the retiring cashier, and to C. W. Smith, the vet­ eran banker who helped organize the F. * M. bank forty years ago and re­ mained a stockholder and director through all the years of its business. Dred Scott Case Recalled to Mind By an Old Timer The News is indebted to one of Nashville’s older residents for the fol­ lowing bit of interesting history. While it deals with pre-Clvil war days there may be several in the communi­ ty who will remember the occasion. The article follows: One of the most vital skirmishes be­ fore the Civil war actually occurred at about the time of Mr. Buchanan's accession to the presidency of the United States. It was known as the Dred Scott cast. Dred Scott was a young negro slave, living in Missouri. He w?nt with his master to Illinois. There Dred Scott was married. They were taken back to Missouri and were sold in slavery. Dred >50011 sued for his freedom on tKe plea of residence in a free state. The circuit court of St. Louis decided in his favor. The suit was carried to the U. S. Supreme court, presided ov­ er by Judge Taney, a Maryland slave owner. The decision was given in 1857, soon after Buchanan's inaugur­ ation. The decision declared that any. person whose ancestors were im­ ported into this country and held as slaves, had no right to sue in any court, and it was further declared that the framers of the Declaration of Independence did not include the negro race in the proclamation, that all men were created equal, and that no negro had rights which the white man was bound to respect and that the negro might lawfully be reduced to slavery for the white man’s bene­ fit. Michigan poultrymen are warned by the poultry department at Michigan State college that at least one man has defrauded state farmers by sell­ ing them a medicine supposed to cure almost every disease which affects poultry. The salesman claimed to represent Michigan State college when he sold the remedy to one poultry raiser Ln St. Clair county. At other points Ln the state he has posed as the repretative of the Michigan Poultry Labor­ atory. A sample of the remedy, when an­ alyzed at the college contained re­ ground bran or middlings, wood char­ coal. quassia, limestone, salt and Ep­ som salts. None of these ingredients have a marked remedial effect upon diseases of poultry and any of them can be purchased at local stores if they are wanted. . College poultry specialists advise flock owners to call the local veterin­ arian. the county agricultural agent, or the college department before in­ vesting money in poultry remedies sold by strangers.

And just as often as In­ dian summer Is identified somebody wonders where the name came from and if there is any fixed date for the arrival of this summer postscript. Indian summer is also known as St Martin's summer. St Martin's festi­ val falls on November 11, and Indian summer is due about the -■mme date, perhaps a little earlier or later, as it may happen, or even as late as early December. Late summer weather of Sept, and the autumn days of Oc­ tober are not to be mistaken for In- but free mn who long had been used to democracy. Years ago the Middle West was in­ fested with cut-throats and thieves. They terrorised the land for a season and then the decent citizens, who v’ere accustomed to running their own af­ fairs, grew weary of disorder and either hanged the outlaw's or drove them farther West. The business was repeated on the plains. Outlaws thrived" for a season. They might be thriving yet if the de­ cent citizens had possessed no sense of personal responsibility. But these decent ones were free men who stood flat on their feet and asked no favors. They did not whine or wonder why somebody didn't do something. Hav­ ing a disagreeable job to do, they did it, and then gave the outlaws decent burial. Today crime flourishes, and organiz­ ed gangs pillage where they will, and the servants of the law make little headway against them. The people seem indiffernL It is their indifference that makes the con­ dition possible. What is the matter? Why do the people care so little? The matter is that the people no longer feel a sense of responsibility. A paternal government, meddling, coddling, forever making itself great­ er and the citizen less great, has un­ wittingly stolen away the birthright of the people. COST OF THOUGHTLESSNESS To forget, like to err, is human. The most thoughtful people some­ times act unthinkingly, and a good memory does not save one from for­ getting. on occasion, that which al! should know. These human failings explain the frequency with which good citizens unintentionally hurt their community by word or deed. Many patronize mail order houses and out-of-town stores, in thought­ lessness, not realizing that in doing so they are hurting their own commun­ ity and personally losing more than thjy gain. It has never occurred to them that this money never comes back, while if it were given to home business a large percentage of it would remain in the community, bringing employment, civic improve­ ment and prosperity. The knocker is often a potential booster lacking in tact. Knowing the community's shortcomings, he would be a community asset if he would en­ thuse over what the home town can do, instead of harp-on what it has failed to do. The one method stimu­ lates the community, the other de­ presses IL That is why the booster is popular and the knocker unpopular, although both may be striving for civ­ ic bettermenL days, of delicious mildness, following a spell of cold, stormy weather, con­ stitutes the true Indian summer. But why is this return of summer­ like weather called Indian summer? A plausible derivation is seen In the old Indian custom of harvesting corn In this season. Another theorv is that the Pilgrims gave it its name when they were told by the Indians that summer would return after the first spell of winter.

These papers are new stock and new designs—but small-sized lots which we must clean up. We are displaying a few of these bargains in our window—look them over. We don't want you to get the wrong impression—those big boys are two years old this fall. Potatoes were so dheap last season we just left some of ’em right in the the ground—and they kept right on growing. Who Remembers? Here’s another sticklerine for some of our old timers: ‘‘Who recollects the exact date when Father Time and Mother.Nature were married?” We understand that Mayor Kraft anct his dog have been seen walking on the same side of the street—again. It seem that Ed and his dog were go­ ing home a few evenings ago andcame face to face with a little black and white, mephitis. The thought came to Ed. at once that, as Mayor of Nashville, he ought to take it upon his official shoulders to chase that kit­ ty out in the wide open spaces—and he yelle^ "Sic ’em, old boy!” It was slck-um all right. You never saw a sicker purp after he had collided with atomizer of that skunk. We don’t blame Ed's dog for walking on the off side of the street after his master had played such a mean, low-down trick as that on him. And we wouldn't blame Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Mater for voting against Mayor Kraft along about next spring —for chasing that kilty right over under their bed-room window. But cheer up folks, they tell us that science is doing wonders. Over in one of the western states there’s a fel­ ler who claims he has succeeded in raising odorless skunks. ' But how in the dickens are we go­ ing to get rid of all these old models. They'll probably cling right to us like Henry’s first products. And by the way, we heard of this same Mr. Mephitis a few days pre­ vious to this highly scented incident. It seems that Carl Belson and Don­ ald Chase (two small boysi had a lit­ tle play house in the alley between the Sweet Shoppe and the Bakery. The youngsters have an up-stair in their play house—and lucky for them they were in the upper story’. When Carl started to come down stairs, head first, the other afternoon, he yelled back to Donald: "Golly, Donald, we’ve got a cute little black and white kitty come to play with us. • • • Naw. it ain’t either a kitty—it don’t smell good."

Neighbors out in Bill's vicinity fear that he is going to ruin his health if someone doesn't put him wise.

(Of course Bill does a lot of complaining □ about the cloudy fall weather—and it being so blooming dark half the fore­ noon. and all that—but then, he keeps right on) It seems that Bill's son, Jesse came home from Battle Creek to spend Sunday ano when he arriveu he told his father he had better set his watch—cause the time over in the city had been changed to Standard.

Mem felt a longing to sec this heroic filcture. but Mrs. Galbraith w-ould not eave her for a moment, and the night was prayer-meeting night. ___________ Mem attended the evening devo­ tions. There was nothing strange to her in the drowsy, cozy atmosphere, the sparse company singing hymns and bowing in prayer and finding a mystical comfort in the thought of sins forgiven and in eternal home be­ yond the grave. Doctor and Mrs. Galbraith took her back to her lodgings and left her. They had no objection to moving pic­ tures and attended them often, but Mem did not know this, and she felt like a thief when her worse self com­ pelled her better self to a dark dis­ honesty.

But Mem was experiencing an agi­ tation such as she had not known since her mother told her about Little Red Riding Hood and growled like a wolf, showing long white teeth. She was astounded at the courage of Tom Holby. It wrung her heart to see him in this Alaskan picture plow­ Ing across white Saharas of snow, to see him challenge the barroom bully and beat him down and stand, torn, bleeding and panting, over him.

THE NEW WORLD’S BIRTHDAY Scholars and explorers continue to look for evidence that America was visited by Europeans before Christo­ pher Columbus came. Whether or not the theory that he was not the first to arrive on these shores can be supported makes little difference. It | was Columbus that established the contact between the New World and the Old. the contact which has been maintained ever since. Those who antedated him—if there were such— failed to make their work fruitful. The whole oredit for the discovery of America belongs to the great Geno­ vese navigator, and the four hundred and thirty-seventh anniversary of his landing may appropriately be regard­ ed as the New World’s birthday. As the nations of North and South America grow,., as their populations Increase ana tuiu as they uiey take taae a more and ano more prominent part in the affairs of I the world, appreciation of what Co- I lumbus did ;n opening the Western [ hemisph ere to settlement and devel-i opment by Europeans is enhanced. ! Yearly the celebration of Columbus I Day becomes more widespread. Not only in the Americas is the anniver­ sary commemorated: throughout Spain last year the day was observ- I ed with brilliant ceremonies. It was as the agent of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain that Columbus made his daring voyage into the un­ known—a voyage that required more fortitude and courage than are now demanded for an expedition to the North Pole. But it is not to be for­ gotten that Columbus was not a Spaniard but an Italian. Let that fact be recalled when the Nordic legend is encountered, the legend that all of the illustrious achievements by which the world's advancement has been promoted have been the work of Preferred to Drill Under the Indlunn laws n century ago every nble-lH>died mule between eighteen nnd forty-five was obliged to drill twice a year or pay a fine of one dollar.

A quantity of mash and liquor was also confiscated as evidence. Reneau, his wife and five children, and Shadden came to Assyria last July and bought 40 acres.

A constant em­ ployment of the best known means of checking this breakup is essential to life at Its best. Huge liners, after a few months in the water, must be run into dry dock that the hulls may be scraped free of barnacles and the entire exterior painted. It is said that & crew' of painters is at work constantly upon the Eiffic Tower of Paris. Once this crew has reached the end of the structure it is time to begin at the other. A field left without cultiva­ tion soon is foul with every kind of weed known to the vicinity and some from afar off. A body driven to the point of ex­ haustion, untended and neglected is bound for a smash up. Months, even years, may ensue before it can carry a load again.

Now we are engaged in a great, magnanimous contest, testing wheth­ er those hare-lipped, grimy, bow-leg­ ged, grumpy, fusty, eleemosjuianic, finny, flanky, flagetious, placid, flucose, forlorn freaks can long endure the terrible onslaught of the intellect­ ual imminent, benign, ambidexterous, courageous, witty, optimistic, didactic Juniors. We have come to the con­ clusion that it is altogether fitting and proper that this document should be presented to the aforesaid heinous Seniors. Therefore, we, the Junior class of 1931, A. D., after more con­ sideration than the pusillanimous matter deserved, do hereby tender our formal acceptance of the said chal­ lenge. Article 1.—Having been ready since the earliest days of our flaccid infan- cy to meet the aforesaid Seniors, the delay until October 22, A.

Now there is no indication that paint will be any higher in price and every reason to believe oil will be lower, as oil now is the highest in a long time—and is so, in my judgment, due to speculation as it is not the season of heavy demand. The liar is at least 25 to 35 cents wrong on present price of oil. The paint and oil he sells Is unknown. He is usually a stranger. Barn painters have been going about the country this sum­ mer getting jobs on the condition that they would furnish the paint at cost, $1.55 a gallon and the freight, when they knew that the best barn paint made Is selling in Nashville at $1.50 per gallon—C.

PROOF THE GOODS I HANDLE ARE CONSIDERED SUPERIOR QUALITY Unoleum Endlewi Last week a gentleman came in and asked for a Myers hay car. _________ o_________ Alter being shown the car he stated: “You will not have this car next year. Your neighbor states they will have it” He also stated their price would be quite a bit higher (Something like $3.00). He bought the car of me and took it along with him. H. E. Myers & Bros., the makers of the car, state in a letter to me dated Oct 21, 1929: “We have mqde no arrangements other than you In Nashville. We depend on you and are pleased with your business that you are giving us.” Is this not enough proof of my repeated assertion—my goods are a higher’ quality for less money—or they wouldn’t be trying to get them and stick to the goods they have been telling you “best made” for years past They admit my goods are better, otherwise they would not try for them. We lead; never imitate. The Myers car has been handled in this store for 50 years. Why are they compelled to ask more money for same goods ? It’s simple. It costs them more money to do business. You must pay it t It would show you, if it was not for my store, you would be paying from 20 to 25 per cent more money and buying a lower quality. Window GIomh Seth I.

Taxation, local, state and federal takes' one-tenth of the individual in­ come and presents one of the out­ S problems of the day, acto statements made by Mr. ymond Shaw, of Grand Rap­ ids. in an address before members of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce Monday evening. Mr. Shaw is field secretary of the National Chamber of Commerce, has had a wide experi­ ence in the study of taxation and its various branches, and made his ad­ dress of Monday evening Intensely interesting. Recounting the part played by the National Chamber of Commerce in securing legislation favorable to the business and industrial interests of the country, Mr. Shaw stated that the National organization did not •lobby in the halls of congress, did not countenance lobbying and because of this stand had been endorsed by the last six presidents as being highly beneficial in securing the opinions of business and industrial men from all over the country and submitting these opinions to lawmakers without com­ ment. The National Chamber of Com­ merce was explained as being an or­ ganization through which nation-wide sentiment is collected from individu­ als through referendums on various subjects submitted. The results of these referendums are tabulated and mailed to each senator and represen­ tative in congress without a single man being approached in an effort to influence his vote. Because of the impartial method used the organiza­ tion is highly regarded by both the legislative and executive bodies of the national government. Mr. Shaw used a part of his ad­ dress to trace the progress made in this country during the last 100, 50, 35, 25 and 10 years and the compar­ isons be drew were astounding in that most of the really great inventions have been made within the memory of most all the men attending Monday evening’s meeting. , At the November meeting of the Nashville organization it is expected the Nashville boys’ potato club will be entertained at a supper and program. Displays of the potatoes raised by each boy will be shown and prizes will be awarded those judged the best. Further announcement will be made at a later date. W. C. T. U. The W. C. T.

She said: "It is the great­ est departmental work in the Wo­ man’s Christian Temperance Union, for it reaches the foreign child in the public school. Thus they learn of the effect of alcohol on the system. The W. C. T. U. feels with some pride that it is doing-good work in the school here in Nashville, and that one of our own girls in the public school won the state prize of $10.00 for the best essay written in the state. The Nash­ ville W. C. T. U. extends congratula­ tions to Miss Geraldine Hecker on her ability on that subject, and as win­ ner of the prize."

Javelie water for removing stains and bleaching uncolored cotton and linen was made and each lady was given a sample. , A well-balanced luncheon was serv­ ed by Mrs. Merle Scott, Mrs., Verdon Knoll and Mrs. Fred Wo tring. The next meeting will be Tuesday, November 26, with Mrs. Ed. Palmer, as hostess. Hampered- somewhat hy rainy weather the last few days, workmen have been slowed up in the comple­ tion of the graveling and grading of Reed street, but statements of village officials Wednesday morning were to the effect that a few days will see the street finished and opened to traffic. The street was closed two weeks ago and its surface scarified by John­ son & Green, contractors who are building the Kalamo-Maple Grove road south of town. Since that time trucks have been kept busy hauling gravel. This part of the operation is said to be almost completed. A few days’ work at grading will then finish the project. Complaints have been made at the. condition of North Main street, north of the bridge, but officials explain that it was necessary to use the Johnson & Green scarifier when they could get it—at the same time Reed street was torn up. Consequently North Main street has necessarily been in bad condition and will be un­ til Reed street is finished and the gang can be transferred to the other job. The street is bad now, but when completed will be in good condi­ tion for winter driving. In the mean­ time, the best way to go or coma from the north is to travel to the west of Putnam park, leaving or striking North Main at the north end of the bridge.

JIBBSlUPPER TO RE SERVED KNIGHTS ONLY Announcement of the Jiggs supper which will be served by Knights of Pythias on the evening of November 12. made most every man in the com­ munity hungry for the corned beef and cabbage which is always the main temptation on the menu. But now comes the announcement that only Knights of Pythias may be priv­ ileged to attend the supper and with It comes disappointment to a number of men who were all set to be there. -Change of plans comes as a result of the fact that lodge work will follow, and be a part, of the evening's pro­ gram this year, necessitating limiting of the supper guests to Knights only. Plans which have been completed call for a meeting of all Knights who expect to partake of the supper at the lodge rooms and from there they will go in a body to the Nashville club rooms where a table, or tables, will be spread and all will sit at one time. Immediately after the supper all will return to the lodge rooms where work in the first rank will be given and the Lesson of Friendship exemplified. Exact time of the meeting and sup­ per will be announced later. NUMBER 15. Home of Former If You Hunt Will Hold Meeting Resident Destroyed Deer "Don’t” For Implement Men By Night Blaze Do This or That Warnings, cautions, and don’ts for deer hunters going into the upper peninsula for this year’s season will be displayed on big placards in the cabins of the three state ferries at the Straits of Mackinac. The placards have been prepared by the Depart­ ment of Conservation and will be posted with the cooperation of the State Highway Department. The placards list information as to what a deer hunter may do while he is in the woods; and what he may not do; what he should do if he be­ comes lost; and display slogans that it is hoped will help to reduce the annual list of fatalities. “Your license does not permit you to: Use artificial light, use dogs in hunting; Kill a doe: Kill a fawn; hunt a deer while it is in the water: hunt from your automobile; have venison in your possession more than 30 days after the close of the season; hunt on private property without owner’s per­ mission; have loaded gun in your car." one of the placards says. "Don’t neglect to: tag your deer; wear your license button; unload your gun before you enter camp or an au­ to; carry a compass," says a second poster. Advice to those who arc lost is con­ tained on a third card. It says: "If you get lost: don’t get excited. You will probably be able to find a fire tower or its telephone line. Follow the wires. They will take you to town. If It is dark, build a fire and wait until morning. Don’t tire your­ self out walking in circles. Always carry a compass and matches." "Be sure it has antlers before you shoot." and "Some of you may not come back if some are careless,” are among the slogans listeti on the post­ ers. A large percentage of the deer hunters going to the upper peninsu­ la enter by way of the state ferries." Alfalfa hay is commonly credited with a first rank oosition as forage for farm stock but£ recent Judies by nutrition specialists at Michigan State college show there is a wide variation m the values of different samples of alfalfa. This legume gets a large share of its value from the high percentage of protein which it contains. Samples examined at the college show that the protein percentage may vary oetween 12.25 and 20.25. The two principal factors which cause the differences in food value are the maturity of the plant when cut and the number of leaves remaining on the plants when they are placed in the bam. The protein content ot alfalfa be­ fore it blooms is 22 per cent. but. af­ ter the plant bears seed, the protein content is only 12.2 per cent. Cut­ ting the hay before it fully blooms will increase the feeding value of the hay. Alfalfa leaves contain 22.5 per cent, protein while the stems contain only 6.3 per cent. Haying methods which retain the leaves until the hay is placed in the mow or stack are ad­ vised by both the farm crops depart­ ment end the nutrition specialists. By Mm.

Washtenaw and St. Clair are the last to De sdded to the list of Michi­ gan counties in which a complete soils survey has been completed thru the cooperation of the State Bureau of Chemistry and Soils and the soils department of Michigan State college. The survey is really an inventory of the soils resources of the counties, and. as soon as possible after the completion of the field work, maps which show the distribution of the various soils types are printed. Map.** of all counties will be completed as rapidly as possible. These maps have a practical value for owners or prospective owners of property ia the surveyed area. Ex­ perimental work over a number of years has indicated the best, methtxls for handling certain soils types, and owners of land can determine from the maps whether certain practices will be successful ou their farms. Surveys carried on in several Mich­ igan counties have shown 115 differ­ ent soil types. All these types vary in value and In potential crop yielding power.

The chief executive of a big cor­ eration, whose time is occupied an the moment he reaches his of­ fice until the moment he leaves it, has devised a new efficiency scheme. He has requested all his employes and all his friends and acquaintances, when they telephone him, to inform the operator in his office whether the conversation they desire falls under the heading of "A,” ”B” or "C." •*A" signifies that it is a matter of great importance that require im­ mediate attention. “B” signifies that it’s merely a matter of business routine or of social engagement. "C" means ordinary piffle. It is only fair, however, to give the results up to date, of this executive’s experience. With one exception every telegione can fell into the "A” class. Is wife, reminding him to send the car for her after luncheon, a friend who wanted to borrow a few hundred doUars, his tailor announcing that his new suit was ready to be tried on— all insisted that their communication was of great importance and needed Immediate attention. It was only his chauffeur who mod­ estly told the operator that bis mes­ sage came under “C.” He merely wanted to report that he had collided with a truck, smashed a $6,000 car and injured a policeman. There is a moral in this for reform­ ers to figure out. ---- ------— knows all about it- psychologically and temperamentally.

The Bmnver that you know their letter, are cheerful, that the— writer, have a way of telling things without the gloomy aspects, and—well, you just feel good .over hearing from them, that’s all. Again, there are some people who seem determined to look altogether on the dark side of every­ thing and their views are invariably reflected in the letters they send out to their friends and their business correspondents. A cheerful letter is like a beacon light to a weary traveller who has lost his way; it comes With all the re­ freshing sweetness of a summer morn and the honeyed sunshine of spring. _________ ADVERTISING HELPS CREDIT. There is one way by which a busi­ ness man’s credit is Improved, and that is by a policy of consistent ad­ vertising. Bank men believe in ad­ vertising. for they know it pays. Their feeUng. therefore, is that when a merchant who is a good advertiser applies for a Joan, that a reasonable amount of goods, bought by him on credit, is likely to be turned over quickly and promptly paid for, on ac­ count of his methods of . keeping his goods constantly before the public. Discriminating buyers of every class know they can get fresh goods from the store that advertises. The merchant who advertises seldom has shop-worn goods. And in that way advertising helps the merchant’s credit not only with the banks but with Ills customers. And one is just as Important as the other. THE NARCOTIC EVIL. We hear very little about them in the public prints, but down at Detroit is a small band of loyal workers who are spending their days and nights combatting the narcotic evil—an evil said to equal if not overshadow, the liquor traffic. Out of the flotsam and jetsam of a big city these men are salvaging wrecks of humanity and restoring them to manhood and womanhood.

His reply was characteristicany brief—"Turn to the right and go straight.” There may be some differences of opinion about the description or loca­ tion of heaven but all Christendom, at least, accepts the Gallilean’s state­ ment that the way to it is straight and for the most part strait, as well. However, according to this same Teacher, the Kingdom of Heaven was to be found within man himself. The way to :t, then, is first straight into his own heart. Without exception al’ men are en­ gaged in the quest for happiness. Too often we are mistaken in our concep­ tion of what constitutes this exper­ ience we seek. Again and again we follow a will-o* the-wisp only to find ourselves mired in some swamp of disappointment and despair. Some one has said that ’ happiness is unre­ gretted pleasure." Surely pleasure of body, mind or spirit that is closely followed by regret or remorse because of methods used or persons hurt in securing tiiat enjoyment is doubtful pleasure at best. The Road to Real Happiness leads straight into one’s own heart, past the traffic officer called Conscience and out through the crowded ways of life where men, women and children, aye—even those unborn—are travel­ ling onward. Secluded by-paths may beckon and many roadside tempta­ tions will assail the traveller each day but the joys of the open road of life, shared with others in the sight of God, are lasting. It is upon this straight road that men come to know the destiny of their souls. And there is no happiness like that found in the will of God. "To every man there openeth a way, and ways and a way! And the High Soul climbs the High Way and the low soul gropes the low." America's farm wealth will be loaned to Chicago for one week. From Saturday, Nov. 30, to the fol­ lowing Saturday, Dec. 7, the choicest products of the livestockman's and farmer’s skill will be on display at the International Live Stock Exposi­ tion at the Chicago Stock Yard. As of recent years, the coming In­ ternational will be as world-wide in fact as it is in name. Already sam­ ples of wheat have been received from far-away New South Wales, sent from the othei side of the earth to compete with the finest products of the fields of the United States and Canada in the International Grain and Hay Show. Entries will be accepted in the livestock departments up to Nov. 1, says B. H. Heide, secretary of the ex­ position, and for the Grain and Hay Show, thg closing date'is set for Nov. 10. Those who plan to com­ pete in the spectacular carload-lot contests of fat cattle, sheep or swine, can make their entries up to Nov. 23. At the more recent shows, over a hundred choice load1? of fat cattle have each year been on view in the Chicago Stock Yard pens, adjoining the exposition buildings, and accord- i tag to general opinion, are among the most interesting and educational I spectacles of the entire exposition. j An unusually brilliant Horse Show Ls assured. Since its inception, one of the foremost Horse Shows of the world, the fact that for the coming event the leading horse fanciers in the country have indicated their in­ tention to exhibit, leads to the confl-, dent forecast by the management that a Horae Show of extraordinary interest will take place this year. As an added incentive to many who hope to attend the 30th anniver­ sary of the International, which is acceded to be the grand wind-up of the year’s agricultural show season, the railroads entering Chicago have signified their intention of granting reduced round-trip fares from all parts of the country. 27 States Have Open Season For Deer Hunting an Jhe rich splendor of the Orient tn an easy-to-clean CONGOLEUM RUG* Also Other Sizes. 9x12, $9.95.

Konjola Worked Wonders For Me In Short Time.” then this same lawmaking body turns around and declares she is not capable of passing her seventh and eighth grade pupils. This Itself is unfair but It would not be quite so bad if the standings given them through the year by their teacher counted for something hut they do not. Of course, she is allow­ ed to give a general recommend, but very often that does not seem to count for much. Take a seventh grade student for example. He must get 75 (on the state examinations) In three subjects before he is allowed to pass into the eighth grade. He might have a year­ ly average in school of 80 but, if he only stood 70 in the state examination he has failed. I don’t think that is right. I be­ lieve if a child must take these state examinations, his standings from that examination should be averaged up with the average given him in his own school by his own teacher. What do you think about it? I think this would encourage children to werk harder all the year, right from the be­ ginning of the school year. When they know each month's standing is go. ng to help toward passing them at the end of the year they are surely going to try harder. n.ll .... county. — ... 104 out __ . of* 363 In Calhoun eighth grade pupils failed—almost one-third.

Seubert, president of the Standard Oil Company (In­ diana) who last March succeeded Col. R. W. Stewart as its chief ex­ ecutive, has just announced a new vacation plan for that company width Is attracting wide attention. Whereas in most companies vaca­ tions are given only to salaried workers, Mr. Seubert’s administra­ tion has given them also to hourly j»aid workers on a basis of one week vacation after five'years of employment and two weeks after ten years. The new plan affects 5,000 employees scattered over ten states of the Middle West With 6.000 salaried workers already re­ ceiving vacations, the company will now have 11,000 on Its vacation list. The company's hourly paid workers had been asking for vacations for more than ten years but their plea had been repeatedly denied by the previous administration on the grounds of Impracticability. “Far from being impracticable,” declared Mr. Seubert In announcing the new plan, “we expect to get an appre­ ciable return from it through In­ creased loyalty.” ' Wotrteg of WyanSprings would be stamped on the en­ velop Her place- of concealment parents.

She began the sordid routine of her tasks, but, con­ trasting them with the glamour of playing tragic roles, she felt herself entombed. • Then the summer heat began and grew so fierce that her employer and his family went to the seashore.

When one of the Juniors dared 10 Qxme up the alley and try the mar­ ket door, one of the Seniors was a little disheartened.

One is a STOVE to make every inch of your home warm and comfortable. In this I have done it so often it makes it a pleasure to meet the home makers and hear their praises of the stoves I have sold them, and to hear them speak of their great joy in the amount they have saved—for here there is only need of one small profit for we do not peddle; one man to satisfy in profit.

VOLUME LVn RED CROSS ROLL CALL WILL OPEN ARMISTICE DAY MRS. BELLE BOWERS IS CHAIR­ MAN OF DRIVE WHICH WILL LAST UNTIL THANKSGIVING. Opening their annual Roll Call and drive for funds with which to carry oh the work of the local and national organization. the American Red Cross will, on Monday. November 11,-issue their call for memberships. The drive will last until Thanksgiving day and it is hoped a liberal response will be given to the appeal. The Red Cross is one of the deserv­ ing organizations for which donations should be made. Operating as it does, in the wake of disaster and misfor­ tune, funds are sure to reach the needy and stricken at times when on­ ly the Red Cross is on the job to help. There is no assured immunity from disaster for any community anywhere at any time. The Red Cross has learned this in more than a thou­ sand disasters in 48 years. In the past two years alone, it has been con­ tinuously engaged in providing relief for victims of disaster—it ha- served simultaneously in 28 disasters in 168 counties and 24 states. It has ex­ pended for relief since 1881 more than $80,000,000. Mrs. Belle Powers is the chairman of the Nashville committee and every­ one is urged to exercise the privilege and duty of sharing in this great work. Join this year and ask a . friend to join.

PROPER USE OF MATERIALS SUBJECT FOR SCHOOL TO BE HELD NOV. IB, 20, 21.

Instructors and specialists from the college staff and other men familiar with spray materials will conduct classes for dealers, county agricul­ tural agents, fruit exchange mana­ gers, and growers who enroll in the course. Problems dona tea to Michigan Orchardlsts by the Old World will be up for discussion when the control of the European red mite and the oriental peach moth appear on the program. In addition to the instruction or how to avoid Insects and disease in­ juries, Lhe students will be told how to avoid injuries caused by improper uses of the sprays themselves. Spray residues are another subject for dis­ cussion. New methods of combatting old en­ emies will be topics for lectures, and those enrolled in the course will get some first hand instruction in spray mixtures by the actual mixing of ma­ terials in the College laboratories. Counties of Michigan closed to deer hunting are also closed to bear hunting. This is the opinion of the Attorney General’s office, given in response to requests for a ruling from numerous hunters. The opinion was based on Act 286 of the Public Acts of 1929, Chapter 4, Section 19, which says: "This license (deer license) shall also authorize the holder to kill with firearms one bear at any time during the open deei hunting season, but the trapping or poisoning of bears shall be unlawful, and it shall be unlawful for any person to be found in the woods hunting deer or bear without a. deer hunter’s license." According to the attorney general's office, the fact that a deer license cannot be obtained for use in a par­ ticular county, automatically makes it illegal to kill bears in that county. With Antrim county added to the list this year, 54 counties of Michi­ gan are now closed to deer and bear hunting. Antrim county was ordered closed by the Conservation Commis­ sion under its discretionary power act since the last season. The deer and bear hunting territory of the state is now confined to the 15 counties of the upper peninsula and to the counties of Benzie, Cheboygan, Presque Isle. Otsego, Montmorency, Alpena, Leelanau, Kalkaska, Craw­ ford, Oscoda, Alcona Roscommon, Ogemaw and Iosco in the lower pe­ ninsula. AUCTION SALES.

Once a year business establish­ ments take stock, weigh resources against liabilities, turn back the old pages and put pen to new. Each year the well-regulated business strikes balance and starts again, not over again from the old beginning, but fresh from the old year's finish. Once a year the individual-serious minded man or woman or ambitious girl or boy—takes stock, stock of happiness and the health and the wealth upon which it is founded. Each measures with the yard-stick of con­ science the component elements of these two great pillars of life; health of body and mind and spirit, and wealth of experience, mental resourc­ es, friendships, the will to do, and seif-esteem.

Marty things thought commonplace and customary seem unusual and strange if by chance they get into print A case in point is the delay in recording a deed in the capital city of Pennsylvania occasioned by the re­ fusal of. a woman to transact busi­ ness on the thirteenth day of the month and by the reluctance of a man to invest his money under an "unpropltious” sign of the zodiac. It must be generally known that there arc thousands, of people, both urban and rural, who “swear” by the almanac and who believe the number thirteen is “unlucky," and yet to great numbers the thing seemed un­ believable when presented in newspa­ per type. Many who deny being superstitious rIro deny that superstition has any­ thing to do with "believing In signs" or planting the garden and transac­ ting business by the signs of zodiac. They place no credence in the super­ natural. but never "make garden" without first consulting the w— proportion ____________ To what of the-> country’s population this applies is impossible of determination, but it is evident it L" no small minority. After all. the end and not the means is the thing to consider. If all business transacted on every other day of the month than the thirteenth were successful 'twould be folly to do business on the “unlucky" thirteenth, and if the gardeners a la zodiac al­ ways raise bumper crops there is no reason why they should adopt anoth­ er method.

Terry was out of danger, but his arms around Mem's neck were withes she could hardly break. The soft hands, the dewey cheeks, the lonely eyes of the child were fetters cruelly tyrannous, but a few days later a taxi deposited her before a tiny place of four or five rooms. This was Leva's home. A servant who opened the door said that “she would not git back from the stu­ dio befo’ six or happast." She was glad to relieve Mem's loneliness with chatter. She explained that Mias Le­ maire lived there with three other la­ dies, all of them in the movies, but none of them getting their pictures took. They lived here with no more thought of chaperonage than a crowd of bachelors.

Yesterday, we traveled twenty miles a day behind a spirited mare; today, we ride one hundred miles of an evening, in a motor car. Yesterday, travel was momentous; today, it is incidental. From smoke signal and ihoccasined runner to pony express; from pony express to fast mail; fast mail to long distance telephone— thus, communication has evolved. Yesterday, we wrote long letters and waited days, weeks, or even months for a reply; today, we lift a telephone receiver and, in a few seconds, have an answer. Yesterday, communication was labo­ rious; today, it is effortless. Michigan is building one of the finest highway systems in the United States, finking her cities by means of splendid concrete roads and opening a paradise of lakes and forest to all her people and to thousands of visitors. The Michigan Bell Telephone Company, too, is building highways, modern voice wireways, comparable in every way with the finest concrete roads; these wireways link every section of the state. Mich­ igan’s telephone wireways are partners of her other highways of commerce, and an important part of a universal telephone system. Highways and wireways have helped develop our state, its com­ merce, prosperity and social life, and wherever your motor takes you over the fine, wide roads of Michigan, you also will find a voice wireway leading to your home and office. at th* kr consist<nf with financial safety”. You are supposed to know your paying ab^ity. Don’t go beyond it Rich men use credit as a convenience. Poor men need credit as a necessity. Credit is the greatest asset in the world. The greater part of bus­ iness is conducted on a set time credit. Paying your bills “sometime” sometimes gets you in trouble, and the “sometime” credit subject is injuring his credit rat­ ing. Pay your bills on time. .

NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14,1929 VOLUME LVH Hunters 125 KNIGHTS Of ElevenKilled This Year In Michigan PYTHIAS ATTEND ANNUAL SUPPER NASHVILLE WILL MEET BELLEVUE IN H. S. DEBATE CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE DISHED UP BY IVY LODGE AS NOTABLES GATHER HERE FIRST OF SCHEDULED CON­ TESTS WILL SHOW STRENGTH OF LOCAL ORATORS. Eleven people were killed and 15 were injured in hunting accidents in Michigan so far this year, according to records now being obtained by the Department of Conservation. These figures include all accidents before November 1. Of the 11 fatalities, three were caused when guns exploded while be­ ing carried through or over fences. One man was injured for the same reason. Three were killed and two were hurt when they were accidentally shot by companions in the woods. Two were killed and one was hurt when their guns exploded as they were be­ ing lifted from the bottoms of duck boats. Five were injured by stray shots and five were hurt when guns acci­ dentally exploded for various reasons. One officer was killed while attempt­ ing to enforce game Taws, another of­ ficer was wounded and a man was wounded in an altercation with an of­ ficer. Knights of Pythias from a half dozen lodges In this section of the state gathered here Tuesday evening to enjoy the annual Jiggs supper serv­ ed by members of Ivy Lodge, and to attend a session of the lodge immedi­ ately following. More than 125 men were seated at the dinner tables and partook of an excellent menu of corned beef and cabbage, mashed po­ tatoes and gravy, rolls and coffee. Knights were present from Hast­ ings. Woodland, Middleville. South Haven, Charlotte, and other places. In addition to the splendid repre­ sentation of knights from the various other lodges. Grand Chancellor B. C. Swift, of Middleville, grand chancel­ lor of the state organization, was present, as was also Past Grand Chancellor Thos. P. McKimmie, of South Haven. Both state officials ad­ dressed the gathering at the close of the dinner? During the session of the lodge following dinner Hon. John C. Ketcham, of Hastings, delivered a fine address. Seven candidates received the rank of Page in the evening session, five of the candidates being from Nash­ REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL OVER COUNTY GATHER FOR ville and two from Hastings. MONTHLY MEETING AND RE­ PORTS. Nashville schools have again tak­ en to the platform In competitive de­ bating, and on Friday evening, No­ vember 15, will appear in the first of a series of encounters when they go to Bellevue and meet the team from that school. The question to be debated is: Resolved that a judge or board of judges be substituted for a jury in the State of Michigan. Appearing for Nashville, and the negative side of the question, are Junior Roe, Jean . Roe and Patricia McNitt, with Kenneth Roscoe as al­ ternate. Helen Maurer will be Nash­ ville's timekeeper. Other members of Nashville's de^ bating class are Agnes Surine, Dor­ othy Harvey, Ekina Brumm and Helen Brumm. They are being coached by Miss Lininger of the high school fac­ ulty. , The Nashville school is a member of the Michigan High School Debating League, as in former years. For five weeks past the members of the class have been coached in the presenta­ tion of either side of the question to be debated and it is believed the lo­ cals will make a creditable showing in keeping with the records made here in previous years. Judges for the Bellevue meeting will be instruc­ tors from Charlotte, Olivet and Mar­ shall. In view-gif the fact that on the af­ ternoon of the 15th Nashville’s foot­ ball squad will play the Bellevue squad on the latter's field, it is quite likely that a large number of local football and debating fans will be in attendance at both affairs. The lo­ cals are confident of victory in the afternoon fracas and equal confidence is being expressed in the contest of the evening. Don't forget the date—Nov. 15. and the place is Bellevue. COUNTY Y. M. C. A. COMMITTEE HELD ITS MEETING HERE FRI. Faker Gets Letters In Care of Sheriff STATE POLICE ARREST POUL­ TRY REMEDY SALESMAN WHO HAS DEFRAUDED MICHIGAN FARMERS. One volunteer "member’ ‘of the staff of poultry specialists at Michi­ gan State College is now spending a vacation without pay in the Cheboy­ gan county jail. This man has called on poultrymen throughout Michigan and after examfng a flock of birds would pre­ scribe remedies which were supposed to cure everything from frosted combs to bumblefoot. He stated that he was on the staff at Michigan State College. State police had been warned by the College and the State Department of Agriculture to bring the man in for questioning if he could be located. The suspicions of a Cheboygan county farmer when the faker killed a fat hen. pronounced it diseased, and of­ fered to sell medicine brought the salesman into the hands of the police. The examination before a justice of the peace disclosed that there are two of the medicine men ip the State. While It is probable that the one at large will go into some other business for a time, farmers are warned that anyone representing themselves to be members of the College’staff and try­ ing to sell any remedies should be re­ garded with suspicion.

A. worker of the Lansing area, who delivered a splendid address touching on the problems confronting an or­ ganization which has for its object the welfare of boys. Mr. May. while not oratorically inclined, in his quiet manner showed a wonderful Insight into the questions he discussed. He also complimented the Barry county organization, and Mr. Angell, on the thoroughness with which the local body is co-operating in nation-wide movements such as the week of pray­ er for members of the Y.

About fifty people attended toe meeting. Method Lowers Cost of Using Limestone APPLYING MATERIAL IN PEA NT ROWS IN CONTACT WITH THE SEED REDUCES AMOUNT NEEDED. Recent experiments male by the Soils Department’ at Michigan State College indicate that it may be possi­ ble to get all the benefits derived from the use of limestone at a greatly re­ duced cost. The old method of broadcasting limestone required the use of from one and one-half tons to four tons per acre to correct the soil acidity and permit the production of legumes. The new method of application places the limestone in the plant rows and from 550 to 600 pounds of limestone makes soil conditions satisfactory for growng alfalfa or clover on some types. In the experiments, the lime was applied by hand or with a hand or grain drill. The limestone was sown with the seed to insure it being close to the sprouting plant. The rate at which limestone parti­ cles break down and disappear in the soil varies greatly in the different soil types. Limestone breaks down slow­ ly in some types of sandy soils. The amount of organic matter in a soil appears to have a marked Influence on the rate at which the limestone disappears. The use of smaller quantities of limestone Ln direct contact with the seed not only reduces the amount of limestone needed but a’so lowers the labor cost of applying the material. MAMMOTH SHIPMENT CANNED GOODS BOUGHT BY KROGER’S What is said to be one of the lar­ gest movements of canned foods this year has just recently been shipped from Pittsburgh and other plants of the J. H Heinz Company to the Kro­ ger Grocery A Baking Company. The purchase consisted of a solid trainload, about fifty cars of Heinz merchandise. The Kroger Company will distribute these foods in one week’s time from over 5,000 stores. While the purchase of this amount of merchandise is by no means an ex­ ceptional incident, it is a surprising quantity of any one brand to be dis­ tributed through one organization within one week's time.

Problems of Agriculture Are Met Squarely in Speech ot National Master. Condensed summary of the address given at the annual session of the Na­ tional Grange at Seattle. Wash., by NationaXMaster Louis J. Taber, Wednesday afternoon. November 13, 1929. Throughout his antlra entire nrlHraaa address Vr Mr. Taber stresses the fact that the American farmer is seeking no spe­ cial favors through legislation, or from the public treasury, but is sim­ ply demanding equality for his indus­ try—in opportunity and in reward; while the fact is especially emphasiz­ ed that after all that can be done for agriculture by favorable legislation, by a fair tariff policy and by the same consideration in government respects that is shown to other industries,' in the last analysis the farmer himself is responsible for his own welfare; and by adopting modern methods, co­ operating with bis fellow farmers and taking advantage of the possible ben­ efits of organization, he is the custo­ dian of his own prosperity to a very large degree. These significant words reveal the National Master’s attitude very clearly:— "Thinking farmers recognize that no amount of legislation, government help, cheap money to loan, tariff ad­ justment. nor legislative procedure, can bring enduring prosperity to ag­ riculture. The farmer must perform for himself most of the tasks that af­ fect his own welfare.

Mr. Taber de­ clares : “We should continue to oppose the policies of expending government funds to increase our agricultural production until our problem of sur­ plus is solved. It is idle to Attempt to predict when that time will be. for improved farm practices are increas­ ing our production per acre possibly’ faster than our growth in popula­ tion. and there is no indication that we have reached the end of improve­ ment. We believe it a sound rule to curtail any reclamation expansion until the demand for land is sufficient to make it economically sound to construct the projects. There need be no haste—that time is many years in advance of us." Along the same line the National Master strongly advocates transfer!ng the entire Bureau of Reclamation at Washington from the department of Interior to the Department of Ag­ riculture, "thereby eliminating dupli­ cation of effort, antagonism and cross­ purposes in operation. and putting rhe handling of this agricultural problem into the Department of Agriculture D.

Today both are. commonplace. Perhaps it is because it Is so uni­ versal and commonplace that people never look upon the pay roll In Its true light as the life blood of the community. To the home-town mer­ chants pay days have always been good business days, and yet those merchants received as a great dis­ covery the idea that every day would be a good business day in the town or city whose Industries were so numerout and diversified as to make every day a pay day. Pay rolls mean business for mer­ chants, taxes with which to run lo­ cal governments, ’homes, schools, ' 1 churches, charity, public improve­ ments and public contentment. The more pay rolls the more of all of these community assets. And final­ ly, and of still greater Importance, pay rolls mean employment for the community's surplus labor and at­ tractions which lure new workers and new families. For these reasons progressive, growing communities offer -induce­ ments to new industries. Each new factory means another pay roll. The offers include free land, low taxes, cheap fuel or water, local capital, and even free use of buildings for limited periods.. Within certain limits, a growing population is beneficial to every com­ munity and what benefits the com­ munity as a whole serves each of its component parts.

Construction of a deep waterway to the sea is so important to agriculture that its early comple­ tion by th emost feasible route is ad­ vocated. Water Powers A warning Is sounded against per­ mitting water power privileges which belong to all the people to pass into the hands of a restricted group, which may control the water resources of the future and heavily tax coming generations. The Grange warning of past years is emphasized by informa­ tion recently brought out by the Fed­ eral Trade Commission, and while the Grange is opposed to putting the gov­ ernment into business, it believes that in the case of such great resources as Muscle Shoals, Boulder Dam ana oth­ er immense power sites which now belong to the people, their future will be best protected by the government maintaining absolute ownership of the power rights, leasing them in such manner as will not oniy prevent mo­ nopoly, but insure maximum service: No lease grunted for a longer period than 50 years; all improvements be amortized; and the water power re­ sources restored to the government at the end, of the lease period. Rural Electrification. The Grange stands for the exten­ sion of tqe privileges of electric ener­ gy as rapidly as possible into rural sections, to lighten the drudgery of' feet from the ground, and erected at farm work, to brighten and improve a cost of over $15,000,000, the new home life, and to raise rural standards of living.

Mrs. Struble had charge of the splendid service, assisted by Mrs. Carl Lentz. All sports night was a big event, sponsored by the Y Group, directed by Mr. Boekhout, Tuesday night, Nov. 19. Mr. Howard Haig of Harbin, China, a Y. M; C. A. secretary there, spoke to the H. S. pupils Thursday, the 14th, and assisted in -the union prayer meet­ ing the same night.

And if she cannot prove her claim, That doesn’t count. It’s all the same. You shouldn’t ask your wife, my Son, To prove her case—it isn’t done.

CLARK TITMARSH HAD BEEN RESIDENT OF NASHVILLE SINCE 1869 Christmas Seals Will be Mailed Here Next Week. Thanksgiving day will mark the of­ ficial opening of the Christmas seal sale in Barry county when 275.800 of the health stickers will be mailed to residents of the county, according to announcement of the Michigan Tuber­ culosis Association. Heartened by the returns from the 1928 sale, which for the first time saw the $250,000.00 mark reached in Mich­ igan. officials of the state and local groups In charge of the campaign have set as their 1929 goal the sum of $260,000.00, or an amount larger by 4 per cent than was subscribed last year. Explaining the reason for the In­ creased quota, F. E. Mills, president of the Michigan Tuberculosis Associa­ tion. states that "further reductions in the tuberculosis death rate will be brought about only through greatly increased effort and expense. The time of large decreases at compara­ tively small cost has passed. To com­ bat tuberculosis successfully in the future, it will be necessary not only to continue our past activities but to add to them new types of preventive work, particularly among children.” Last year $913.03 worth of the seals were sold in Barry county, the sale averaging 4.09 seals per person. The state average is 1928 was 5.59 seals per capita. $100 Prize Essay Contest in Michigan History The Michigan Pioneer and Histori­ cal Society offers for the year 1930 a prize of One Hundred Dollars ($100) to the person submitting the best ar­ ticle on some subject in Michigan history.

Mrs. Floyd Ev­ erts. gave the following quotation. • He who thanks but’with the lips, Thanks but in part. The real the true thanksgiving Comes from the heart.” She then explained how we plan a menu for Thanksgiving, making it different in many respects to our daily menu. So our program today would follow a definite menu. After sing­ ing a hymn of tnanks we enjoyed the following repast: First Course — "Oysters, Oyster Fisheries"—A paper prepared by Mrs. Coy Brumm and read by Mrs. Arthur McClure. .Second Course—"Macaroni” -- A short talk by Mrs. Joseph Bell. Third Course—"Turkey”—The Pil­ grims’ First Thanksgiving, Brutherton—A poem read by Mrs. Jesse Garlinger.

Greene. "Orange Jelly"—The Orange Groves of America—Should have been given by Mrs. Chris Marshall. “Pumpkin Pie”—Whittier poems— Mrs. Edgar Hannemann. "Coffee"—Coffee in our New Pos­ sessions—Should have been given by Mrs. Herman Maurer. As most meals in these modern days arc accompanied by music, so we enjoyed the following numbers ar­ ranged by Mrs. Fred Wotring, along with the menu. Piano duet, "Pizzicatl,” by Leo Delibes, played by Bet­ ty and Louise Lentz. Vocal solos, “Ah, Sweet Mvstery of Life," by Her­ bert, •'Until,” by Sanderson, sung by Miss Gladys Patter.

Mr, and Mrs. Everts, son Lloyd, and Mias Dorothy Felghner returned to Battle Creek with them Sunday af­ ternoon. NUMBER 18. Just smile at her, and don’t be cross. But let her think that she's the Boss— And let her run the domicile To fit her own peculiar style. And though you may not like her hat, Don't ever, ever, tell her that!

Don’t ever, ever, speak of it. Whatever tact you try to use, To tell her that—you're bound to lose. And if she claims that black is white— Remember this—she’s LIKELY right! Deer, and POTATO CLUB DearMany of Them, are Coming to Nashville BOYS, PARENTS WILL BE GUESTS BANQUET CLOSING SPUD GROW­ ING CONTEST WILL BE HELD AT COMMUNITY HOUSE. The Nashville Boys’ Potato club work will be brought to a close Mon­ dry evening, November 25, when the local Chamber of Commerce enter­ tains tbe boyi and their parents at a banquet to be served by the Methodist Ladies' Aid society in the community bouse adjacent to the church.

Castleton Home Management group met Thursday, Nov. 7, at the home of Mrs. Roy Brumm, for an ail-day meeting. The meeting was called to order by tne chairman. Mrs. Stella Graham. The forenoon was given tor demonstration and discussion on laundrying fine fabrics. This was a spe­ cial and not a part of the regular les­ son. Tne members were much inter­ ested in the method used. The after­ noon discussions were on the dining room, table furnishing and care, and table linen; also a short sketch on the life of Josiah Wedgewood, one of the first men to manufacture porcelain china. Mrs. Marguerite McVean and Mrs. Nellie M. Brumm are leaders for the coming year. Venison, imported direct from the north woods, from "shooter” to con­ sumer, is finding its way into Nash­ ville in such quantities that there is no longer any glory attached to the marksman’s skill So common is the sight of the dear deer that you see them hanging from pegs in every butcher shop and the price of steaks has dropped below any possibility of profit. Up to the time of going to press there have been six bucks hauled in on the fenders of automobiles since the season opened and 'tis said there are at least three more known to have been killed and on their way south— due possibly today. The season opened on Friday and Sunday the first car load of hunters returned bearing Len W. Felghner, C. O. Mason, Ralph Olin and A. B. McClure, with two bucks hanging ov­ er the front fenders. (Numerous in­ quiries as to the cost of bucks that early in the season have gone unan­ swered, but Olin and McClure claim the horns.) Monday afternoon Frank Bennett returned with a deer that had been killed by Leeland Bennett. Tuesday evening Charles Mayo. Fred and Glenn White returned with three more bucks, one of them a fine big fellow weighing 182 pounds dressed. Today (Wednesday) comes word that Ward Smith. Phil and Charlie Dahlhouser are on their way back with two bucks, and that Gail Lykins made his kill. That being the case there will be at least nine deer brought in­ to Nashville the first week of the op­ en season. Several parties are still to be heard from, among them the Beras who are in the upper peninsu­ la. With the exception of Mr. Mayo and the Whites, all the deer reported so far have been killed in the lower peninsula. Deer are reported plenti­ ful—and so are the hunters. International Stock Show Breaks Own Entry Record When the International Live Stock Exposition opens at Chicago the last of this month, a new high mark for the number of animals on exhibit will be established, announces B. H. Heide, secretary of this world's largest agri­ cultural show. Over 12,000 head of the choicest livestock—horses, cattle, sheep and swine—which the world produces, will be on view. Opening at the Chlcacago Stock Yard on Nov. 30, the first Saturday following Thanksgiv­ ing, the exposition will be in progress until December 7. Entries were received in the cattle department in such numbers and rep­ resentative of such quality that the management predicts with surety the largest and most impressive exhibit of cattle ever seen at the Internation­ al. Sheep, swine and horses maintain their high totals established at the 1928 exposition. Some idea cf the truly international scope of this exposition and the far distances from which contestants travel to participate is obtained upon glancing at the preliminary exhibitor list. Take the Shorthorn breed as an example. Nominations from Massa­ chusetts will meet those from Cali­ fornia. and several of Ontario’s fore­ most "red, white, and roan” heads will be matched with those of Texas. Slmilarlj with the Herefords, herds will assemble at Chicago on this oc- ■ Tuesday, December 3rd. at 9.30 a. m.. Barry county grape growers will meet in the county agent's office, Hastings Court House, for personal Interview and for general discussion and Instruction in the best approved methods of vineyard practices. 1.30 p. m. the growers will go to William Gorham's vineyard, one mile southwest on M-43, for instruction and demonstration of best pruning and cultural practices. . Prof. Newton L. Partridge, the country's foremost authority on grapes, employed by the Michigan State College Experiment Station and stationed at Paw Paw, will be in charge of the morning meeting and afternoon demonstration. . It has been two years since we were able to secure Mr. Partridge for this service to the grape interests of Bar­ ry county. We urge every grape grower to attend this important meet­ ing which can not again soon be re­ peated. CECIL BARRETT HAS NARROW ESCAPE AS GRAVEL BURIES HIM COMPLETELY COVERED FOR TEN MINUTES WHILE COMPANIONS WORK FRANTICALLY TO RES­ CUE. Cecil Barrett of Battle Creek is slowly recovering in Pennock hospi­ tal. Hastings, frem injuries sustained when a gravel slide in the Will Smith pit, south of Nashville, completely | covered him, crushing several ribs and posnibly causing other internal injur­ ies. \ / Barrett, who is 18 years of age. was working with a construction gaug under the direction of George Green, Maple Grove highway commis­ sioner, and in company with Mr. Green, Ray Dingman and jay Pen­ nington, was loading a gravel truck for the last load before noon Monday. The slide caught the young man from the rear and he fell lace downward at full length. His companions worked frantically in an effort to un­ cover his face and when this was ac­ complished ten minutes later the vic­ tim was so near suffocation that his companions were afraid for his life. Several minutes more were necessary in extricating his body from the mountain of gravel. Barrett was taken to the Hastings hospital and it is believed he is slowly making progress Ln his recovery. He had been employed by the Rich Steel Co. at Battle Creek, but curing a lay­ off had been hired by Maple Grove township. He is the son ci Cllfforu Bariett, now living In Indiana, but at one time a resident of Maple Grove. VILLAGE VOTES FUNDS TO HELP SUPPURT BAND TEN DOLLARS MONTH FOB FIVE MONTHS WILL BE PAID BY VILLAGE TREASURER. Nashville's hand will get substan­ tial help from the village as a result of action taken by village council Monday evening when they .voted to pay into the band treasury $10 per month for five months. In addition to funds which will be available from the Chamber of Commerce the bana should fare quite well during their months of practicing. No expense is being incurred outside of music and fuel, therefore overhead expense is light. Expense of a director, ordi­ narily necessary In band work, is avoided by the local band because of the services of Mr. Walrath which are given free of charge. . Council also acted favorably on claims of Sam Varney, volunteer fire­ man. who was injured while perform­ ing his duties at the Hollister fire last summer. Mr. Varney was voted $15 per week for a period of seven weeks. Special Missionary Service at Barryville The Missionary Society of the Bar­ ryville church will hold a special meeting at tne church Sunday eve­ ning.

You could do a . lot worse, both in time and place. Thumb the history books, and pick a page at random. What is there that was in the lot of the average man that you would trade for the place of the free-man of today? The old civilizations, magnificent, glitter­ ing. were but a thin, transparent crust. Better a self-determining, fliwer-drlving American than a hew­ er and hauler for a Nebuchadnezzer. Better a stage-hand for democracy than a gladiator for a Caesar.

Pick out the happier spot than Nashville. Ships sail ev­ erywhere, but there is no rust for passage. No post-war Maeterlinck is needed to convince us that the blue bird of happiness is here and now. Of course, Nashville in 1929 isn't perfect, far from it. Be thankful, then, to know with Carlyle that "Here in this poor, miserable, hampered, despicable Actual wherein thou even now standest. Here or nowhere is thy ideal; work it out therefrom, and working—live, believe, be free.” Because, measured by the yardstick of time, the Actual wherein we now stand is neither poor, nor miserable, nor despicable, our working should be militant and confident. And if the Actual be hampered, it Is hampered alone by our own shortcomings, mis­ givings, inoolence and lethargy. We should be thankful, then, that the cure for these lies within ourselves. *If we see sorrow about us and grief, let us be thankful if our heart warms with zeal to assuage it. If we see wrong, let us be thankful if our spirit grows hot with will to right it. And whatever there is of error or failure, let us be thankful that recognition is the first step to correction. And. .lastly, if we be thankful that our lot is happier than that of others, let us be thankful if God has 'given us the heart to share our plenty, to lift the fallen, to support the weary, to comfort the comfortless, and feed them who famish. Only that we may be the instru­ ment to help the comfortless, and feed them who famish. Only that we may be the instru­ ment to help our fellowmen has the patient Father put us here, in Nash­ ville.

In a practical way it is well to rehiember that the chief festival of the Chris­ tian world is only a little way down the road. Santa Claus’ outline is al­ most visible over the chimneyed hori­ zon, the sound of the tinkle of his sleigh-bells is nearly audible. It is a time for doing what there is to be dene in preparation for the holiday. Shopping early is a good piece if bus­ iness, early in the morning of each ■ } ■ ■ ■ shopping day. It will be to the ad­ vantage of the buyer, to tbe pleasure of the seller and for the relief of the overworked store forces. All the systematic work done in ad­ vance of the rush to avoid the confu­ sion that sometimes makes Lhe Chris­ tmas even a hnrre-r and the Christmas day one In which there is no rest and delight because one Is all in and tired out—will not be its best unless there is a flavor of the Christmas spirit through it all. In the rush and con­ fusion, if there must be such, in the crowds that surge through tbe sYores. in the jam and push of the street throngs, take the Christmas lesson to heart for use in the advance days— and be pleasant. Be patient with the clerks und the delivery men; be court­ eous to the folks you buy from; be pleasant to the jostlers who almost knock the parcels from your arms as they stumble, themselves package­ laden, on the street; use the smile that helps everybody over every stressful time and some distressful times. Indeed, there are opportunities now for more effective and beneficicnt use of the Christmas spirit in its fine un­ selfish expression that there will be after the day's climax is over. It will not be regarded by Santa Claus as in any way violative of his rules of "don’t peep" to use "before" Christ­ mas the same cheer, the same un­ selfishness. the same courtesy, the same thoughtfulness, the same spirit of "giving happiness” that you will use on Christmas day.

Hallstead, president of the Scranton (Pari Sun, says: That a newspaper is run by human beings, even as you and I. The public considers a newspaper as an institution and divorces person­ alities from the paper itself. The remark. “You always believe what you read in the papers," is lhe highest compliment that can be paid to the press. Opinion should be omitted from news, and most papers try to do this, but most readers do not know lhe dif­ ference between news and editorial opinion. The publisher is a seller of news and honestly tries to give you what you want. We publish so much crime news be­ cause the public wants crime news. There are thousands of complaints about newspapers, but few practical suggestions for making them better. A newspaper can make pr mar a community quicker than any other agency. It would be well worth while to vis­ it your local paper and see what n is all about. THURSDAY, ?K>V; 21, 1929 “It is a serious matter to be sick— not be able to meet each day's duties happily.

CONSERVATION NOTES Large flockr, of pheasants with ap­ parently no males among them do not necessarily mean that there are no cock birds in the vicinity, accord-, ing to the Game Division of the De­ partment of Conservation. Each fall and spring, the Game Di­ vision receives complaints from vari­ ous parts of the pheasant districts to the effect that flocks consisting of hen pheasants only have been seen. Re­ quests for cock birds from the State Game Farm to supply male breeding stock are often received in I rinsing About the time the season opens, according to the Game Division, many of the coveys seem to have split up and consequently a great many single birds are put up. Some mixed flocks arc put up from the roosting places, especially on the first morning of hunting. During the past season some hunters report seeing as many as 20 cock birds during the day and as few as three or four hens birds. Others hunted all day and found many hens but almost no cock birds. At the State Game Farm where thousands of peasants are reared each year, during the winter hens frequent­ ly gather at one end of the big fenced fields and the cocks at the other end. In general, during the fall and win­ ter the cocks are found apart from the hens, and consequently failure to see cock birds with the hens does not necessarily prove there is a shortage of males. Nashville vs. Bellevue. Nashville suffered defeat at__ the hands of the Bellevue eleven on the Bellevue field. Friday.

A Reader of The News. WANT COLUMN • A lot of folks ask: “What did Mac and Warp have to pay for their deer?” Well, here's the answer to that one: "You'll never know?” That’s the answer we got when asked—only it was accompanied by the “wink of the eye. and a knowing smile.” Why —you might just as well ask the fool­ ish question: "Who killed Cock Rob­ in”, as to get either one of those fel­ lers to tell just how big a handful of the coin of the realm they handed ov­ er for those bucks. We have our sus­ picions that Mac’s deer was a wee bit the cheaper—if our knowledge of Scotch has anything to do with our deductions. Another question: “Why did they come home so soon?" Well, you see. It’s like this: Big Fike only hunted the first day. When he came back to camp in the evening he was tired and SORE—mentally and physically. "Af­ ter a fellow had slept all day out in the cold on a runway, and nary a deer would walk up to sneeze a couple of times to wake a feller up so he could shoot—well, what’s the use of hunt­ ing. That wasn't Fike’s idea of how a “dear” should act—they never had acted that way before." And the next day Fike stayed at camp, and the fellers around camp got to swapping stories and talking and tell'ng how BUCK FEVER was raging in that vicinity—and it started Fike to wor?pose the whole outfit ■uarantined and have to If in camp half the wlnThere, that’s why the boys came home so quick. Another question: “Did it surprise you that any of the party would bring home a deer?” Ans.—NO! And we’ll tell you why—Haven’t evr ery last one of tbe boys been writing all over the upper part of Michigan all summer long, asking for price lists on deer’ And didn't Pat Weber tell ’em if they would come up in his neck-o’-the-woods he’d see they got a dear. Well it—but we dli Another question: “Did anybody get shot (probably meant half-shot) ?" Answer—No! Not EXACTLY. Of v ourse we understand that Warp act­ ed as though be had been slightly "WOUNDED" right after he shot his deer. (P. S.—We might just as well believe all that Mac and Warp tell us. Why not? Both Mrs. Olin and McCl ure have explicit confidence in the story—didn't their husbands eaoh bring home a deer as evidence. Of course. And, there's Mac’s youngest son. not over four years old, if that— Dick says his PA shot a deer. When we asked Dick how he really knew bis pa shot that deer, why he just says: "I saw the hole right in his neck".)

West Vermontville Automobiles and The Telephone Thirty years ago the automobile was a novel plaything which only the well-to-do could afford. Today the automobile is a necessity. Motor trucks and buses play a large part in the transportation of freight and passengers. Commercial motor vehicles are indispensable. Motor cars take us out-of-tloors, enable thousands to enjoy the advantages of travel and make accessible many beauty spots in every state. Commercially and socially, the automobile has broken down the barrier of distance and made neighbors of all communities. Michigan leads the world in the development of the automobile. Great corporations, producing a majority of the nation’s motordriven vehicles, have made Michigan the center of automobile manufacture. -w Closely associated with and contributing to the growth of Michi­ gan's major manufacturing industry are the telephone wireways. More than 3,000,000 miles of telephone circuits in Michigan serve in the purchase of raw materials, the directing of manufacture and transportation, the contacting of dealers and the buying and selling of the finished product. Telephone wireways carry the voice of motordom throughout the country, and even overseas. Thus, are wireways serving Michigan’s great industry and aiding in the prosperity and growth of our state. Our policy—“To continue to furnish the best possible telephone service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Offley were in Hastings Thursday.

OF C. AND BOYS. . Members of. the Nashville Potato Club, their parents, and members of the Chamber of Commerce were par­ ticipants at a banquet at the Meth­ odist community house Monday even­ ing, with the Chamber of Commerce as hosts to the boys and parents. The banquet, served by the Ladies Aid so­ ciety of the church, was attended by about eighty persons, and marked the close of the potato club season. Prior to the banquet .the boys brought in displays of their potatoes and these were arranged on a table at one end of the room where they could be inspected by all the guests and judged by Per Lundin, of the Michigan State College. Mr. Lundin also awarded the certificates of merit to the boys, following a short address in which he complimented the boys on their persistency and successful conclusion of their potato raising project, even in the face of difficulties which included the unusually dry sea­ son. Prizes were awarded two groups. Only two boys were entered in the second year group and these were classed separately from the boys who were finishing their first year. In this second group Norman Stanton won first prize while Waynard Belson took second. In the first year group Oral Miller took first, Robert Blocker sec­ ond. Paul Pennock third, Wm. Wal­ lace fourth, and Geo. Wotring fifth. Certificates good for certain amounts in trade at any member of the Cham­ ber of Commerce were awarded these winners, while pencils were given ev­ ery other boy who finished but did not win the larger prizes. Miss Beatrice Boyle, county club agent, to whom much of the credit for the success of the potato club project is due. addressed the gathering with complimentary remarks for the C- of C. in sponsoring the undertaking, the only one of its kind in the county, and also commended the boys for their in­ terest and efforts. In return. C. L. Glasgow, speaking for the commer­ cial body, expressed the appreciation of that body for the opportunity the potato club afforded them in the way of intermingling with folks from the rural districts.. Interests of the bus­ iness and professional-men of the vil­ lage are identical with those of the farmers of the outlying communities, the speaker stated, and therefore the two groups should be, and are. inter­ ested in each other. Paul Rood, county agricultural agent, was also present and. while complimenting the boys on the results of their potato growing experiment, he also assured the audience that the purpose of the project was not so much to raise potatoes as to raise boys. That the training received In carrying on a season’s work along this line will be beneficial to those boys who will be the men of tomor­ row and carrying on the business of the community by 1940. Because of the value of thiL training and the benefits derived its worth to the com­ munity can scarcely be estimated. The banquet Monday evening was a fitting climax of a season of asso­ ciation between men in town and boys in the country, which ’ opened last spring with a banquet at the Ma­ sonic temple at which the Chamber of Commerce entertained the boys and their parents. Shortly after that banquet certified seed potatoes were made available and the boys treated the seed, planted their acre­ age and tended them according to in­ structions of the county agricultural department. Accurate account was kept of all expenses and labor involv­ ed and this material was used in a story at the close of the year, in which the contestant told of the pro­ gress and finish of his work. Some mighty fine displays of potatoes re­ sulted from this work and. best of all. valuable lessons were learned in the judging of potatoes along with the raising. If followed up another season it is sure to bring better re­ sults because of the experience gained this year. • The seven prize winning groups of potatoes are on display in the lobby of the Nashville State bank. Because of lack of room it was impossible to place all the exhibits on display in the bank lobby. The public is invited to look them over. O. E. 3. Carnival, Dec. 6.—Advt.

That the Christmas Savings method of saving money for Christmas and other purposes has become popular and is rapidly becoming more so, is evidenced in the large number who lake advantage of the facilities of the bank for this saving. Each year these folks, with added new ones, car­ ry on a systematic saving which, . at the end of the year, and just prior to Christmas, furnishes them with funds with which to defray the expenses of Christinas buying, payment of De­ cember taxes. insurance, etc. The method Incurs small outlay at any one time, and yet. at the end of the year, provides substantial amounts for these uses. The 1930 club will be open after the first of December and it is expected a still larger number of Christmas Savings fans will be in for another year. “CAP” SPRAGUE HAS RECORD AS BARBER OF THIRTY-FIVE YRS. LEFT TUESDAY SPRAGUE FOR FLORIDA. WITH MRS. WINTER IN It’s one thing to have your chin shaved for thirty-five years, but it's quite another thing to shave chins for that period of time continuously and in th'! same location. C. P. "Cap" Sprague, on Saturday finished thir­ ty-five years of barbering in Nash­ ville, in the same location. Feeling that a vacation had been earned. Mr. and Mrs. Sprague on Tuesday packed themselves into their automobile and started for Florida for the winter. And who can blame them? They went first to Paw Paw where they will visit for a week with their son. Donald, and family, and then will continue on their way to the south­ land for a winter of sunshine and warm breezes. Mr. Sprague started barbe.-ing in Nashville in the room now occupied by the insurance office of E. V. Smith. After a short time he moved across the street to the room now oc­ cupied by the J. Robt. Smith barber shop and conducted a shop there un­ til about three years ago when he sold out to Mr. Smith but continued to bold down a chair. And it is in this room that he spent the thirtyfive years, scraping the whiskers off the chins, clipping the yearly growth from many a thrifty head of hair, and of late years he succeeded in mas­ tering the art of neck clips, wind­ blown bobs, etc. Yes, he’s earned his vacation and The News joins the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Sprague in wishing them an enjoyable winter in Florida. € . Bees Need Overcoat for Winter Weather UNPACKED HIVES PRODUCE LESS HONEY THAN THOSE RE­ CEIVING PROTECTION. Wooden overcoats for bees are in­ cluded in the list of winter goods needed by the insects and recommend­ ed for their use by specialists in api­ culture at Michigan State College. The overcoats are not fitted to the individual insects but are a commun­ ity garment made £>y building a fence around the bee-yard and by buUding packing cases around each hive. The space between the case and the hive is then filled with insulating material. Colonies which were given no pro­ tection from cold, weather produced one super less - honey than the bees which were packed at the College last winter. In central and southern Michigan, tar paper packing cases are said to be satisfactory but wooden cases are recommended by the specialists for northern parts of the State. Bees wintered in cellars do not need pack­ ing, but a windbreak should be pro­ vided when the bees are moved into the yard in April. Bees fly more freely from hives which are protected by a board fence which breaks the cold spring winds. Orchard owners who depend upon bees to pollinate their fruit can in­ crease the number of bees flying in early spring by providing such pro­ tection from the wind. Y. M. C. A. ITEMS.

Old Time Resident Wants to Hear From Town of Boyhood Days THANKSGIVING DAY Thanksgiving Day no longer carries, to most Americans, the historical and spiritual significance which it had for the people of New England for nearly three centuries. In a considerable sec­ tion of the country, however, especially in the smaller communi­ ties, it remains a holy day, consecrated to the memory of the courageous little band of pilgrims who first established it as an Annual memorial of their deliverance from pestilence and famine. It is the oldest of all American holidays; it had been celebrated for a hundred and fifty years before the Fourth of July acquired sig­ nificance. In the New England of comparatively a few years ago it was held in wider observance than even Christmas. It was the day for family reunions, when the sons and daughters with their wives and husbands and children came “home.” Those Thanksgiving days at “Grandma’s house!” How they live in the memory of every Yankee boy and pH! The services at the church were among the few that the children really jenjoy­ ed, for the long sermon was mercifully cut short and the hymns were songs of praise instead of the dirge-like psalms which bored the infant mind to distraction. And then—Thanksgiving Dinner! Fittingly, because it is America's own, the turkey was then as now the crowning glory of the feast, with its twin Yankee comesti­ ble, cranberry sauce. But turkey alone does not make a genuine old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner. There were home-made bread and cake besides the profusion of vegetables and jellies and preserves; there were “fried-cakes”, of the sort the Dutch called crullers and the Yankees doughnuts. And there was pie. Pump­ kin pie, mince pie, apple pie, custard pie, cranberry pie, magnifi­ cent speciments of the three great species of pie, open-faced, cross-barred and “kivered.” » No wonder the New England people are a hardy lot! Any child who survived an annual succession of Thanksgiving dinners and lived to grow up was made of tough fibre. Don Higgins, of IndianapolLs, Ind., [will assume his duties the latter part of this week as head of the Boy Scouts in Barry county, taking the place of R. H. Klumph who resigned a few weeks ago to accept a busineas position. Mr. Higgins comes to Barry county well fitted for the position he as­ sumes, and will spend two weeks of each month within the county, the other two weeks being divided be­ tween Big Rapids and Greenville. A movement in Nashville to re-organize the Boy Scout troops was started just about the time Mr. Klumph resigned so that the work halted for the time being. Now that Mr. Higgins is coming into the county, it is quite likely the work will be rsumed, the troop organized and program of work mapped out for them.

The outstand­ ing club member of a county may win such a trip. Louie Webb has been in Live Stock Club work for three consecutive sea­ sons. He won the county champion­ ship in the "Ewe and Lamb" project last year and also the state cham­ pionship in the same project, which entitles him to a $95.00 scholarship in Michigan State College. For two years be has won trips to the Detroit State Fair, one year giving a demon­ stration with Bernard Maurer on "Fitting and Blocking Sheep" and on» year being on a "Live Stock Judging Team” with Lee Bell and Ferris Lath­ rop. Louie’s record as a 4-H Club member has always been good. Louie Webb owes a great deal to his local club, the Barryville Live Stock Club. Through this club he has gained his inspiration to do an out­ standing piece of work. The real factor behind the success of the Barryville club members is their local leader, Mr. Arthur Lath­ rop. He has been untiring in his ef­ forts and time to give the boys and girls of that community the help and inspiration which they need in their work. The mothers and fathers of these club members have been anoth­ er vital factor in the success of the club. There is perhaps no communi­ ty in the county where parents have played such an important part in a club program as in this Barryville club. The Barry County Farm Bureau is sponsoring the.trip for the club mem­ bers to Chicago. This organization has always been very loyal to the Club program of the county and has always willingly aided financially. Michigan's quota to the National Club Congress is 50 club members. Practically every state in the union will be represented by club members at this congress, a total of twelve hundred boys and girls being present. The Club Congress is held each year at the same time the National Live Stock Show is in session. Club mem­ bers take many educational trips dur­ ing the week. The week Is one of In­ spiration and education and a club member who is entitled to such a trip is much honored.

Washington.—“Chefoo, China, re­ cently seized by revolutionists, is a city made famous by 'Fickle Fash­ ion,’ * says a bulletin from the Wash­ ington headquarters of the National Geographic society. “The Germans started the hairnet Industry on a large acale, but the World war In Europe, and cheap hair and cheap labor in Asia, caused the Industry to migrate to the Shantung province with Cbefoo as headquarters. “Although American women’s money paid the wages of thousands of women and girls, in and near Cbefoo. when the hairnet Industry was flourishing, perhaps few of those American women could locate Chefoo on a map with­ out considerable searching. The city Ilea on the north shore of the Tape Cod’ of China, which extenda Into the Yellow sea from the main portion of Shantung province, toward the middle section of Korea. If a line were drawn due west from Cincinnati. Ohio, through Denver. Colo., and continued across the Pacific. Chefoo would be one of the first Chinese cities the line would touch.

A large foreign settlement, wjth- modern hotels, consular office huUdings and residences -bordering wide, electrically lighted streets, occu­ pies a knob of land on the north. “The adjoining Chinese quarter Is congested. Narrow streets, winding through this portion of the town, are lined with squatty buildings, mostly of flimsy construction, but It Is here that Chefoo bristles with boniness ac­ tivity throughout the day. “Stoop-shouldered coolies from neigh­ borhood farms and villages trudge to the market place under loads nearly as large as those atop mules and donkeys. Other coolies tug at the handles of loaded Shantung wheelbar­ rows whoso wheels are sometimes three feet high.

"Through the Chefoo streets, all the products for export from the Chefon neighborhood are carried to waiting cargo boats In the harbor. Apples, sweet potatoes, peanuts, wheat, rot­ ten. corn, tobacco, pongee silk and hairnets are transported by vessels flying the flags of many nations. Car­ goes for Chinese consumption are load­ ed on coast-wise boats that make Chefoo a port of call. Junks that lazily float shout In the harbor pick up short-haul shipping. Pongee silk and peanuts are among the more Important Chefoo ex­ porta. The latter were Introduced In Shantung by an American missionary.

Sir Samuel Heare. British air min­ ister, recently announced in the house of commons that the two new airships would make flights to Canada and India in the fall If the trial flights were successful. Air experts of the world perked up their ears at this an­ nouncement for Great Britain’s failure in these two ventures may mean death for future airship construction. The B-100, the air ministry has de­ cided. will go to Canada, while the R-101 will make the first long flight to India and Egypt, where arrange­ ments already have been tnade for handling the ship. It is understood here that the R-100 might Indude the United States in Its itinerary if Wash­ ington extends an invitation. But so far Sir Samuel has refused to divulge when the shed tests and first trial flights will be held. Pre­ vious delays, and subsequent question­ ings in parliament, have made him cautious. It was learned, ‘however, that the bags will be filled some time In June, after which the first local flights will be made. The construction of these two 5,000;000 cubic feet gas-filled airships Is rapidly nearing completion after In­ numerable delays occasioned by changes in plans and the addition of many new devices which never before have been employed on giant airships. The R-101, in particular, represents several radical departures in the con­ struction of the steel frame and tn the arrangement of the Interior. As the R-100 Is fitted with ordinary petrol engines. It was selected for the flight to America, whereas the R-101, equipped with Diesel engines. Is more suited to the warm atmosphere which will be encountered on the flight to India and Egypt , Pope Limits Use of New Vatican Money Rome.—Officials of Vatican City will continue to receive their salaries In Italian money after the papal govern­ ment's new money la Issued, It was un­ derstood. The papacy's own silver and gold coins will be few and their use lim­ ited. Gold coins of 20 lire value and silver coins of 5 lire value (about $1.05 and 20 cents, respectively) are planned. The coins will be used to purchase Vatican City stamps, to pay entrance fees to the art galleries and fees to the holy congregations, especially to the congregation of sacraments in cases of annulled marriages. Robber Splits Loot So Creditor* Can Get Pry San Francisco. Calif.—Kind hearted­ ness of a robber mixed with the ora­ tory of Herman Krieger reflected sat­ isfactorily u|»on the latter's creditors. Krieger told police a man came in­ to his house, drew a pistol, and forced him to give up $85. He said he plead­ ed with the man not to take all the money because lie had to meet some bills. “All right, guy." the robber an­ swered ; “we'll spilt IL" The robber counted out $42.50 and gave It buck tn Krieger.

School Notes ■■■■■■■■I On Thanksgiving Day at 10.16 the Nashville football te^m meets the Lake Odessa team in what is fore-or­ dained to be one of the hardest fought battles of this season. Lake Odessa, having suffered a 12-0 defeat at the hands of Nashville earlier in the sea­ son. is out for revenge and they mean to even the score, if possible. Coach Boekhout has been giving the fellows a lot of stiff practicing in order to prepare for this, the last game of the season. Richard Graham. Leon Hous­ ler, Louis Diamante, Bryant DeBolt. Paul McDowell. Gerald Olmstead will play their last game, and Elmer Low­ ell will act as substitute for the last time in the Lake Odessa game, since this is their last year in high school Come down to the field and help them win this game, help them to get the old fight so that it will be a pleasant memory in years to come. Your Thanksgiving turkey will ‘"hit the spot", after you've watched a good football game. Wives, send your husbands—they’ll. appreciate your cooking a lot more. Husbands, bring your wives, they'll like it too. Parent", bring your kids, and all the company. See the last game of the season! Help Nashville beat Lake Don’t forget the time: 10:15 (fast time) Thanksgiving Day. A great play is an evqpt in the lives of all who witness it. 1 About sixty students from the high school and 8th grade attended the "Passion Play" at the Grand Rapids Armory Friday af­ ternoon. The students found the play very Impressive and worth while. They are very grateful to those who made it possible for them to go.

If anyone has a problem which be can work himself but wants to see if some one else can, send it in to the Math-Science club. They would like to puzzle it out for you. This club has just been organized with Mr. Struble as leader. It will certainly be beneficial to all members. The little people in the kindergar­ ten are making Christmas gifts. Mrs. Waldron visited the kinder­ garten one morning last week. The kindergarten visited the first and second grade room Wednesday and helped with a short Thanksgiving program. The "Busy Bees” 4-H club was or­ ganized Tuesday evening. The officers chosen are: Elinore Parrott—Presi­ dent; Anne Mayo—Vice President; Georgia Butler, Secretary; Cora Gra­ ham—Treasurer; Margaret Graham— Warden. Mrs. Etta Baker is their leader and they held a business meet­ ing at her home Saturday. The first graders have finished their November posters. "The Mayflower.” The second grade is making books illustrating the story of the Pilgrim. The third, fourth and fifth grades are making Indian waters in art work. The sixth graders are interested in making a class poster of Indian life. The seventh grade is painting a landscape of Pilgrim life. The eighth grade made Thanksgiv­ ing place cards and completed the il­ lustrations and covers for their book reviews this month.

A Shawl Worth $200,000 DOCTORS— Good doctors are scarce every­ where. Country doctors are under­ paid and overworked. Peekskill. N. Y.. physicians have agreed to charge $1 for telephone consultations. If advice on how to treat a cold is worth telephoning for it is certainly worth a dollar. In England the fees of rural physicians are fixed by the Government. We may come to that in America. The fees must be high enough, however, to encourage well trained young doctors .to settle in small towns and to stay there. Several Eastern towns where doc­ tors have failed to make a living have agreed to pay a salary out of public funds to a good doctor, for public health work, which still leaves him time to engage In general prac­ tice. That way of insuring a doctor a living and at the same time safe­ guarding the public health is a sound, American method and should be more generally adopted, as it will be. ENGINES— The next big improvement in auto­ mobiles will be an engine that uses crude oil or distillate instead of gas­ oline. Heavy-oil engines use cheaper fuel, get two or three times as much pow­ er out of a gallon of it, require no complicated electrical sparking ap­ paratus. and have no valves to be re­ ground. The motor car of the future will have an engine of that type, driving the front wheels instead of the rear wheels, and will have no gears to shift Airplanes will use the cheaper fuel, too. A diesel type engine flew a plane from Detroit to Washington recently. Elmer Sperry announces that he has perfected such an engine for air use on which he has been working for years. A company has been formed in England to manufacture a heavy­ oil automobile engine invented by a Swede. Hesselman. Sweden, by the way, produces more first-rate engineering ability in pro­ portion to population than any other country except, perhaps, Italy. Eric­ son. inventor of the screw propeller and Suilder of the Monitor, was a Swede. So were Alfred Nobel, inven­ tor of dynamite .and DeLaval, invenor of the steam turbine and the cream separator. EDUCATION— The best American I ever knew died the other day. I shall not print his name; he would not have liked the publicity. He probably had never earned as much as $100 a month, but he sent his .four children through col­ lege. A Cape Cod fisherman's son. he was a schooner captain in the West Indies trade at eighteen. At seventyfive he was hauling mail and baggage in his old Ford truck, preferring in­ dependence to retirement. Unlettered himself, one of his sons is a professor in a Western university, one is on the Harvard faculty; a daughter is superintendent of a great training school for nurses. "Sorrell and Son," one of the most popular English novels of recent years, has for its theme the sacri­ fices of a father for his son's educa­ tion. A new theme in England, but one of the oldest in America. CLIMATE— Chicago may rival Florida as a winter resort when the new power plant of the Commonwealth Edison Company is completed at. State line on Lake Michigan. More steam pow­ er will be generated there than on any other square mile in the world. To To cool the huge condensers of the compound engines, four hundred thou­ sand gallons of Lake Michigan water be pumped up every minute and The Senior Girl Reserves held a will flow back with its temperature Thanksgiving meeting at the Club will house Monday night.

I IT IS WONDERFUL i I TO ENJOY PERFECT I 1 HEALTH AGAIN I This Pritley shawl, which has been in the family of Francis Scott Key foe centuries, is shown here gracing Debora Key. a descendant of the man who wrote "The Star Spangled Banner.” The shawl will find a perma­ nent shrine in the former residence at Frederick, Md.. of Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney of the U. S. Supreme Court, the author of the Dred Scott decision. Hammond Clary, a banker and collector of Americana, has bought the shawl and will place it with other objects relating to American history. Brides of Key men and daughters of Key men wore this shawl at their weddings. In New York the average tempera­ ture of the whole Upper East Side of the city has been appreciably increas­ ed by the condenser water from the New York Edison Company's plants, flowing into the East River. The southern end of Lake Michigan and all the towns that border it will have a perceptibly warmer climate when the new State Line plant gets into full operation. GOOD TIME TO SPEND MONEY. There are a good many people la the United States who won't have as much money to spend for the next few months as they had before they lost their savings in Wall Street. That is bound to affect business in many lines, through bankers, business men, economists and statesmen agree that there is nothing wrong with the busi­ ness structure of the nation. Prob­ ably the net effect of the slump in the stock market will be no more ser­ ious than was the collapse of tnn Florida land boom three years ago. The greatest danger is that people will think there is danger, and so cur­ tail their normal buying. It Is for the purpose of forestalling any slump in public confidence that President Hoo­ ver called the business leaders of America into conference, in order that a true picture of the nation’s economic condition can be presented to everybody. Pacts already developed indicate clearly that there is nothing to fear. On the contrary, this is a good time to spend money. There is plenty of money available for any useful, pro­ ductive purpose. And in many lines, commodities are cheaper now than they have been for some time past, cheaper than some of them are like­ ly to be a few months hence. ACCIDENTS— Automobile accident cases cost the hospitals of the United States more than $15,000,000 last year, for the care of the injured. More than onethird of this was never collected, be­ cause the persons responsible for the accidents could not be compelled to pay for the damage they had done. Next to industrial accidents, auto­ mobiles send more individuals to the hospitals than any other one cause. The' care of the victims is a charge on all the rest of us, to the extent that the deficit in hospial expenses has to be made up out of taxes. Almost -every state makes insur­ ance against industrial accidents compulsory on employers. Only Mass­ achusetts requires automobile owners to carry liability insurance. If you are Injured by a car with a Massa­ chusetts license, the Insurance com­ pany pays. If a car from any other state hits you. you can usually whistle The clothes that make the women for your hospital bill, or start a tedi­ are the ones that shake the men. ous and expensive lawsuit.

Differences of spelling aside, the signs tells the height above sea-level of each high spot on the road. That is something we all like to know.

I believe we of America, and especially we ' of Michigan, have reason to be very thank­ ful. There has been no epidemic among our people. No floods or tornadoes have caused death or distress or loss of property; - The health of our people has been good. ' With few exceptions crops have been good and prices fair. Trade and manufacture has its short spells of depression, but in Michigan there has been no more than the usual conditions of this kind. America is at peace with the world, and it is the earn­ est wish of our people that these conditions may continue indefinitely—and for this result we are individually responsible. Let us govern ourselves accordingly. C. L. Glasgow Christina* Seals Will Bear Unique Bell Ringer Design A diminutive bell ringer, dressed af­ ter the fashion of centuries ago in red doublet and yellow leggings, will ring ' in tbe Christmas season this week when he and a vast army of mates will be sent to all parts of Michigan in the inaugural of the 1929 Christ­ mas seal sale. Literally millions of seals, each bearing a picture of the bell ringer tugging at a heavy bell, will be dis­ tributed in Michigan during Decem­ ber. 18,000,000 are being mailed from the central office of the Michigan Tu­ berculosis Association in Lansing, and county tuberculosis societies are distributing an even larger number. The use of a bell ringer and bell in ' the design of the 1929 tuberculosis Christmas seal is singularly appro­ priate. For centuries chimes have called to people their cheerful mes­ sage, usually telling a story and of­ ten proclaiming victory. In the anti­ tuberculosis campaign, the victory won in Michigan is shown by the 32 per cent, decrease in the tuberculosis death rate that has been achieved since the Christmas seal financed cru­ sade against the desease »was begun 21 years ago.

There, we trust it is all here this time—either literally or al­ legorically. Other PASSIONS Besides Those hi Here's a few of ’em enumeratedr Several of our good citizens took the" time and the trouble, and the worry, and all that goes with worry, to make It possible for students of our local schools to go to Grand Rapids the latter part pf the week to witness the "Passion Play” at the Armory. They are to be highly commended for their generosity and in reality do not de­ serve this mention, but with their par­ don assumed, we will proceed: The party started out in high spirits—and came back in LOW—some of ’em. First on the program of misfortune was when Dale DeVine had to delay the procession by reason of a flat tire, when about half way to the Rapids. Next—the main calamity of the trip, occurred when Art Bassett, Nashville inventive genius, came to grief with his maiden experiment with "flowing" (excuse us, guess it was BOILING oil) oil which he had placed in his ra­ diator. Art sure has a fortune ahead of him with his new anti-freeze solu­ tion. All that's missing about Art’s solutiqn is another SOLUTION of how to keep that oil from getting so blooming hot. From what we can learn a radiator wouldn't freeze in a thousand and one years right at the foot of the north pole* But, gosh, when that oil got to bubbling and gurgling and the smell of solder per­ meated the air. Art began to have suspicions of trouble—and TEN miles from their destination. • • ’When Art failed to show up, the rest of the party were worried and sent out the “Greyhound", a bus in Grand Rapids to ascertain what was wrong and to render relief. Our sympathies are sure with Art, 'cause he just had to spend the whole afternoon in a ga­ rage, keeping blankets on his over­ heated radiator, so it wouldn't con­ tract pneumonia—and he missed the play entirely. With Art it was WORK instead of play. And. then, when the party started for home, other and unforseen incidences were in store. In the first place L. G. Cole suggested that he would take the lead and the rest could then easily (?) follow him —cause you know, L. G. isn't a fast driver (we don't how to express it— FAST isn't speedy enough). The first stop signal was passed O. K.. but the second signal was different, and it was here that the party last saw any­ thing of L. G. until the next morning when he was cut delivering milk, as usual. We understand Ernest Appelman and Byron Hallenbeck spent a couple of hours seeing the sights in the furniture city before it dawped on them that perhaps a friendly cop might be able to point out what they were really looking for—M-16. An­ other party got on the wrong road north of Lake Odessa and ended up at Portland, but they were finally saved when another load came along apd gave them the coveted information that "they were lost. too. And then, there is Elmer Northrup’s party. Mrs. Northrup decided to spend the day at the various stores and was to meet her husband and party at a particular store at a particular time, in the eve­ ning. (It seems there was a fix-up in time, When Mrs. Northrup had wait­ ed and waited and the party didn't come, she decided to go up to the Ar­ mory. There's that—she was at the Armory looking for her husband - - and Mr. Northrup was down town looking for his wife. We understand Von Furniss is con­ templating using some of Art’s new anti-freeze solution in his own radia­ tor. Von has sold more than three barrels of alcohol so far this season —and yet, just the other day his ra­ diator froze up and "bust" while standing right out in front of the drug store. By the way. what we would like to know, who is’ going to have the goose that layed the golden egg. for dinner tomorrow. Thanksgiving. We saw the head of the goose lying on the side-, walk at the corner of Hess & Son’s furniture store the other morning. We don’t whether to invite ourselves up to Don’s house or up to Cliff’s—for dinner. But casting all jokes aside—it’s the hen these days that is laying the golden egg. The fabled goose is a back-number. Stage Set For 1929 National Stock Show New and unusual features will mark the 36th edition of Chicago’s far-famed l ivestock and crops show, the International Live Stock Exposi­ tion. The drama and pagaentry of nature will be ingeniously resorted to in the production of this year’s "Interna­ tional”, which,-from November 30 to December 7. will open its doors at the entrance to the largest livestock mart in existence, the Chicago Union Stock Yard, for 30 years its home. The humanizing partnership of man and Nature towards upbuilding one of the largest and most universal indus­ tries will be vividly and romantically described at every turn of the visitor through the vast extent of this tre­ mendous exhibition of rural progress. It is an entertaining teacher, farm and industrial leaders unite in de­ claring. It is a lesson that is profit­ able as well as interesting for the man and woman on the farm. It sets forth the newest discoveries and developments in their sphere of life, but it is no less interesting, and ever more fascinating to the city pent lay­ man.

The "International” Is referred to as a ceremony where the best speci­ mens of horses, cattle, sheep and swine are eacn year crowned kings and queens of their respective kinds. When the 1929 edition of the exposi­ tion is in session, that figure of speech will be put to actual practice, accord­ ing to exposition officials. They are planning an elaborate dis­ play of champions of all the fat class­ es of cattle, sheep, and swine. Actual "thrones" are in the course of con­ struction. The top place winners are to be “spot-lighted" to the public view by this means. Specially built, elevat­ ed stalls are being made to accommo­ date the champion animals as soon as they are designated. The enthroned champions of the 1929 International, it is assured, are going to increase the interest and effectiveness of the Show for everyone. Sparkling Horse Shows each night abounding in the thrill of equine per­ fection in its best dress will attract thousands. Practically all of the fa­ mous names knowm to horse show cir­ cles are included on the exhibitor list. In every way will the rarest boun­ ties of Nature be in such array at the 1929 "International" as to kindle ev­ en the most lackluster eye.

Mining and The Telephone A bell clangs, gates crash shut, and the “skip’ sinks rapidly into the earth! Tightly packed with stalwart miners, the car drops down the shaft, the hat lamps fade and the bantering voices recede into the darkness. Down, down, down, a mile or more they go, to blast and pick for copper-bearing rock. Linking these subterranean workers and their companions on the surface is a telephone system, keeping the miners in constant communication with “the top”. On each underground “level”, a telephone enables the “shift bosses” to receive directions from the superintendent above, or to report particular developments. As a safety device, the telephone is indispensable. The far-reaching telephone wireways are partners of mining, not only underground but in the surface plant, in the offices, and between all points in the nation. The copper, iron, salt, oil, and other mining industries of our state utilize the telephone to sell their products, to buy materials and to direct shipping. Michigan is proud of her mining industry, proud of her position in the production of these minerals. The Michigan Bell Telephone Company is proud to be a partner of this industry and to do its part in aiding its development Our policy—“To continue to furnish the best possible telephone service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety".

At the beginning of the present century the City of St. Louis had on­ ly 6,200 telephones. Today it has more than 200,000 telephones. The first telephone line installed in Washington, D. C., connected two of the offices under the Chief Signal Officer of the U. S. Army. This was in 1877. Long Island now has more than 750.000 telephones, three times as many as it had ten years ago. and had a growth of 60,000 telephones in tbe last 12 months. In Brooklyn and Queens, two of New York City’s most rapidly grow­ ing boroughs, the number of tele­ phones uas increased about 200 per cent in ten years. The highest elevation reached by the northern transcontinental tele­ phone line is 6,359 feet where it cross­ es the Transcontinental Divide at Mc­ Donald Pass in Montana. Walter Johnson, former pitching ace and now manager of the Wash­ ington Senators in the American League, was a surveyor for a tele­ phone company in Idaho when he was discovered by a major league scout. The first American BeU telephone Company dividend was paid on Janu­ ary 1, 1881, and was distributed to on­ ly 540 stockholders. The October. 1929, dividend of the American Tele­ phone and Telegraph Company, the successor company, was paid to over 450,000 stockholders.

Los Angeles, Nov. 28.—John Quin­ cy Murray, a retired grocer, left his property to his three grandchildren on condition that none of them de-' parted from the teachings of the Bi­ ble. Moreover, his grandson must never wear a Charlie Chaplin mus­ tache, the granddaughters may not bob their hair or use lipsticks, and none of them may go to the movies without losing their share. Executors of the Murray estate have decided that the deportment of the three heirs who are all grown up, has followed Bible teachings so closely that they are entitled to their inheritances.

Danby, Vt., Nov. 28.—The town jail here has been turned over to the school children of the village for a clubhouse.

Thirty-two telephone buildings, in­ cluding five placed in service this year, those under construction and those planned, are listed in a report on the 1929 expansion program of the Michigan Bell Telephone company, made by J. E. McElwain, the com­ pany's manager In this area. The Michigan Bell company, he says, is adding to its facilities in anticipation of a constantly increased telephone service demand, based on the indica­ tion that, for the long run, business conditions will continue to expand In the state. During the past three years, the Michigan Bell has erected 25 new structures, at a cost of $8,600,000, ex­ clusive of equipment, and placed in service 33 new central offices. Thirteen telephone central office buildings and two large garage and warehouse structures are either un­ der construction or work on them will be started shortly, at a cost of $5,700­ 000, which installation of equipment will increase to more than $11,500­ 000. Besides the buildings under construction, one structure has been remodelled by the owners for leasing to the company, and one has been built especially to lease to the company. Four telephone buildings are under construction in Detroit The Pin­ gree and Niagara telephone buildings will be placed in service this fall on the rapidly growing east side. Erec­ tion of University central office, to serve the University of Detroit sec­ tion. will be finished within a few months. Madison, a five-story structure to house the Empire man­ ual central office and the new Madison dial office, besides providing some general office space for the telephone company, is nearing completion in the north central section. Madison will cost approximately $900,000, each of the other Detroit buildings costing approximately $230,000. Installation of equipment will more than double these costs. Other telephone building projects in various stages of progress, or planned to start this year, include structures at Dearborn. Holland, Charlotte, Port Huron, Benton Har­ bor, Greenville, Grand Haven, Lans-, ing, Rockwood, Macatawa Beach and Saginaw, a $1,500,000 warehouse and garage building at Detroit and a sim­ ilar structure at Grand Rapids to cost nearly $200,000. New buildings have been placed in service this year at Pontiac, Grand Rapids, Bad Axe and Howell. At Lansing, a fourth floor has been added, to house addi­ tional long distance equipment. At Ishpeming, space in a newly remod­ elled building has been leased and new local and long distance central office equipment has been installed. At Wayne, local interests have erect­ ed a structure to lease to the Mich­ igan Bell for a central office and busi­ ness office. At SL Clair, complete new central office equipment and much new outside plant facilities have been installed. Notable among building projects of the past three years, additional to structures placed in service this year, were the nineteen-story Bell Tele­ phone building, Detroit, which houses the general offices of the company; the Grand Rapids Bell building, and buildings in Traverse City, Flint, Iron Mountain, Ypsilanti, Plymouth. Niles. Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Jackson, Lincoln Park. Royal Oak. Redford, Roseville. Trenton and Wyandotte* and Hogarth, Longfellow. Whittier and Columbia, in Detroit. Six dial central offices ware placed in service in Detroit, in that time, and seven in other cities. Several more are to be equipped with dial system apparatus. This building program represents only a portion of the expansion plans of the Michigan Bell company this year.

NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1929 ” Will CHRIS MARSHALL, “Parent* Be Discussed At P. T. A. Meet. RANK CASHIER, IS Called by death SNOW BLANKET COVERS VILLAGE AND VICINITY HAD BEEN PROMINENTLY IDEN­ TIFIED WITH BUSINESS, THE CHURCH AND FRATERNALC1RCLES. EVEN OLD TIMERS DON’T RE­ MEMBER AS MUCH SNOW THIS EARLY IN SEASON. Nashville lost one of Its most prom­ inent business men. one of its most loyal friends, and the family lost a de­ voted husband and father in the sud­ den death Monday 'afternoon of Chris Marshall, who passed away at four o’clock. News of Mr. Marshall’s passing cast a pall upon the village at large and was cause for numerous ex­ pressions of regret and sadness on the part of all who knew him. While coming as a shock because of its suddenness, the death of Mr. Mar­ shall, who was cashier of the newly organized Nashville State Bank, was rather expected because of the nature of his affliction. In spite of this his ultimate recovery was hoped for. Five week? ago Mr. Marshall was forced to give up his duties at the bank and went to a sanitarium in Bat­ tle Creek for treatment of heart trou­ ble. When, a week ago. he was brought back to his home here it was believed he was making satisfactory progress toward recovery. However, treatment proved to be of no avail, and on Monday afternoon he passed to the Great Beyond after a lifetime of service In the business, social, fra­ ternal and church world. Born in Attica, Ohio, more than 65 years ago. Mr. Marshall a son of John and Dorothy Marshall, came to Mich­ igan with his parents when but two months of age. The family settled on -a large tract of land one and onehalf miles north of Maple Grove Cen­ ter and there the boy grew to man­ hood. Upon completing his school work he joined the teaching profes­ sion and for a period of several years taught at various country schools in the neighborhood of his heme. In 1887 he was united In marriage to Miss Elizabeth Marshall. He contin­ ued to teach for several years after - their marriage, until, in the early nineties, he took up railroading, learn­ ing his new work at Vermontville. He continued in the employ of various roads-as telegraph operator and agent for about fifteen years when about three years after the organization of the State Savings Bank in Nashville, he was called to be its cashier, a po­ sition he continued to hold until the consolidation of the State Savings and Farmers and Merchants banks in August of this year when he became cashier of the combined institutions. One son. Attorney Claude J. Mar­ shall of East Lansing, w'as born to Mr. and Mrs. Marshall. Leo Marshall of Eaton Rapids, a nephew, made his home with them for several years. Surviving beside the grief-stricken widow and son. are one sister. Mrs. Frank Hyde, of Maple Grove; -.four brothers. John J.. Maple Grove. Jacob. Bellevue, Dave of Nashville, and Har­ vey M. of Maple Grove, two grand­ children. Mary Margaret and Claude J. Marshall Jr., and thirty nephews and nieces. One brother and two sisters preceded him in death. Mr. Marshall was prominently iden­ tified with the fraternal and- church life of the village as well as having served well in an official capacity in affairs of the village. He was a mem­ ber of Nashville Lodge No. 255. F. & A. M.. Ivy Lodge. No. 37, K. of P.. and member of the Evangelical church, where he had served as a member of the official board, class leader, the choir and at the time of his death was superintendent of the Sunday school. For 12 years he was a member of the board of education, and for two years was village councilman.

Old timers are harking back to the days of long ago in an effort to recall a snow storm which fell as early in the winter season as the one- which has blanketed Nashville and vicinity, as well as most al! of Michigan, with from a few inches to several feet. From reports coming in from about the state it appears that Nashville has been blessed with less snow than in .various other sections where high­ ways have been obstructed with drifts several feet high. This condition is particularly true tn sections north and west of here, according to reports. Even in and about Nashville the snow has drifted enough to make travel difficult. Mail carriers have been stuck for hours along some of the routes, snow being drifted as much as two and three feet deep along some of the side roads. There is approximately five inches of snow on the level here. Accompanying, the early snow was near zero weather which took its toll of automobile radiators and engine blocks. For almost a week the mer­ cury has been fluctuating between freezing and zero with no indication that there will be much change soon. Folks who went to Florida several weeks ago were fortunate enough to miss this early cold snap and there are a lot more who remain here and wish they too might have migrated southward. SUGGESTS PLANS FOR REAL HOME­ COMING IN 1930 FORMER EDITOR OF NEWS WANTS TO GET OLD-TIMERS BACK FOR REUNION. In a communication to the editor of the News, Len W. Feighner, former editor of this paper, suggests some plans for making a real home-coming of the festival season in Nashville in 1930. Len wants the old-timers and former residents to- come back to Nashville next year at a time when they will be assured of meeting old friends and acquaintances. That time, he thinks, should be the home-coming and festival time. But let Fike tell iL Here's his let­ ter: Mr. Editor: » Taking it for granted that Nash­ ville will have a harvest celebration in 1930, I want to suggest that we make the affair such a real home­ coming as Nashville has never before had. There are many hundreds of former residents of this community scatter­ ed all over the country, and particu­ larly in the industrial centers of our state, who would be glad to attend such a genuine reunion of former res­ idents. If this is to be done, it is none too early to get started on the proposi­ tion. The officers and committees of the Harvest Festival should call a public meeting and make tentative plans for making the 1930 celebration a real home-coming reunion. Dates should be set now. so that people from distant points could begin mak­ ing their plans to come back to Mich­ igan for this reunion. A list of all former residents of the community, with their addresses, should be compiled qpd all of these people should be notified at as early a time as is possible, of the dates of the reunion. Many of these former residents are subscribers to your paper and can be reached through its columns, byt rela­ tives and friends of all former resi­ dents should make it a point to see that names and addresses of all these people are funjished to the secretary, in order that we may be certain that the list is complete. The secretary of the school alumni association should be able to supply a list of all graduates of our schools, but there are very many others who should be notified of the reunion and be given cordial invitation to attend. If this thing is started right now and is looked after as it should be, Nashville will have a home-coming in 1930 that will far eclipse in attend­ ance and genuine enjoyment any cel­ ebration of any kind that Nashville nas ever staged. Len W. Feighner. W. L. C. DISCUSSES THE HOME BEAUTIFUL. The members who attended our meeting Tuesday. Dec. 3, were well repaid. The Home Beautiful is a subject dear to the heart of woman and the papers were very interesting. Mrs. Frank Lentz gave a paper on "Oriental Rugs.” telling how the ma­ terials. colors and patterns are chos­ en. When the rug is set up on its frame each member of the family, even the four year old child, works on it. Certain colors ere typical of cer­ tain countries. The rugs most com­ monly seen in.this country are Per­ sian, Chinese and Turkish Mrs. Franz Maurer gave a paper on "Art Pictures." She described the pictures suitable for each room in the house, and exhibited copies of the work of great artists. Pictures are of tremendous educational value as well as decorative. Every home should have a few good reproductions of the great masters for the sake of cultural and educational effect exert­ ed upon each member of the family. Mrs. Hale Sackett, our hostess, ar­ ranged a fine musical program: Mrs. George Evans sang "Over the Chimney" by Griswold and "Banjo Song" by Homer. Mrs. Gordon Edmonds and Mr. Ar­ thur McClure sang two duets, 'The Garden of Your Heart" by Doyle, and "Sleepy Hollow Tune” by Kunz. Two piano duets, 'Tn a Rose Gar­ den," Ewing, and "Spanish Dance No. 1" Moskowski, played by Mrs. Chas. Betts and Mrs. Robert Smith, brought our program to a close, and we ad­ journed to meet Dec. 17 for our ‘Christmas Festival."

Alcohol Plays Part of Water Detective IS USED IN NEW METHOD TO MEASURE MOISTURE AVAILA­ BLE FOR FEEDING PLANTS. Alcohol is now acting the part of a detective in a method which was per­ fected by members of the soils depart­ ment at iMchigan State College to de­ termine the amount of moisture in a soil. Old methods of measuring the quantity of water in the soil required that the soil be taken to a laboratory and dried in an oven for twenty four hours. The new method permits the investigator to tell in five minutes in the field how much water the soil contains. No matter how fertile a soil is. plants can not grow unless there is water present in the soil to allow the plant food to go into solution so it can be taken up by the plant. Clay should contain 35 per cent coisture. sand should have 12 per cent, and loam soils need 20 per cent of water to enable plants to make rapid growth. Soils which are low in water con­ tent can be Improved by an applica­ tion of organic matter, or the soils can be tilled by methods which build duftt mulches on the surface. Organ­ ic matter increases the soil's water holding capacity and a dust mulch de­ creases the amount of water evapor­ ated from the soil. Soil bacteria, especially those which fix hitrogen in the soil, multi­ ply most rapidly in moist soils. Early snows and cold weather is lending encouragement to Santa Claus this year. Every day his help­ ers are carrying in new Christmas merchandise and arranging it in the windows and on the shelves of Nash­ ville's business places. His packs in­ clude toys for the youngsters, cloth­ ing for the whole family, gifts of use­ fulness of every kind, gifts of enter­ tainment articles, such as radios, gifts of furniture—in fact his pack has been filled to overflowing this year and there will be no reason why the folks of Nashville and vicinity should­ n't enjoy one of the happiest Christ­ mas seasons ever. This community has been fortunate during the year 1929, inasmuch as no marked depression has been felt in the general prosperity of the village and country side. Unlike some of the larger cities where factories have shut down and caused hard times for working men. Nashville has remained steadily busy and the rural communi­ ties have had a fairly prosperous sea­ son. These things combine to create a happier atmosphere and throughout there appears an optimistic air that promises an enjoyable Christmas and winter season.

Clata Louise, became the bride of Mr. David Doyle Myers of Hammond, Indiana, son of Mrs. Ellsworth Myers of Franklin. Pa. A winter’’oanxed with ferns, with a basket of autumn foliage and yel­ low chrysanthemums on either side, formed a lovely background for the ceremony. The double ring service was read by Rev. H.

She wore a matching toque and other har­ monizing accessories Her bouquet was fashioned of sun-burst roses, and she carried her grandmother’s pray­ er book, which came from Broughton. England. Following the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at attractively appointed tables, with Miss Katherine Bullen, the bride’s cousin in charge. Yellow and bronze baby chrysanthe­ mums formed attractive center pieces, with slender ivory tapers in three branch candelabras. Mr. and Mrs. Myers left for a short wedding trip thru southern Indiana.

SAGINAW VALLEY FARMERS CONSIGN CALVES FROM DAMS WITH KNOWN RECORDS. Dairy farmers who belong to the Saginaw Valley Dairy Herd Improve­ ment Association have found, that the pooling of interests pays in selling surplus bull calves as well as in test­ ing their herds for production. Ten bull calves were sold for an av­ erage price of 100 dollars at a con­ signment sale held at Hemlock. The records of the dams of these bulls had been determined by the testing work and each buyer of a calf knew just what he was purchasing. Buyers from five nearby counties attended the sale. Top price in the sale was obtained for a calf consign­ ed by A. C. Tessin, Hemlock, and sold to John Young. Reese. The value of bull club work which enables the owner to determine the worth of a herd sire before he is sold to the butcher was shown in this sale where eight of the ten calves were sons of one excellent sire. The top price calf was one of the eight and his dam had a production record of 999.49 pounds of butterfat in one year. A member of the -bull club, William Watson, Hemlock, acted as sales man­ ager. A. B. Love, Saginaw county Agricultural Agent, and J. G. Hayes, East Lansing, Holstein-Friesian field­ man, assisted with the sale. Miss Dorothy Powers of Kalama­ zoo, J. L. Wilson of Columbus.

Early in the game Nashville by con­ sistent line plays, brought the ball to Lake Odessa’s 5-yard line, where Nashville was penalized 15 yards for holding. They again took the ball to the 5-yard line, where they lost it on downs. Lake Odessa tried three line plunges and failing to gain, attempt­ ed to punt from behind the goal line. The pass from center was bad and McDowell tackled the man behind his goal for a safety or two points. Nash­ ville played a steady game, gaining almost at will through their line, and on defense held so well that Lake Odessa had the ball a very few times i ■ oLn? in Nashville territory. The half ended with the score 2 to *i GRAND RAPIDS 0. Early in the second half, Nash­ ville started another victory march which ended in a touchdown by Ma­ son and an extra point by a line play.

As a special favor we are asking all parents of children who are read­ ers of library books to cooperate with the library board and librarian in an effort to prolong the usefulness of 11•brary books. This can be done by teaching our boys and girls the necessity of clean hands, careful handling, and use of. book marks; also wrapping of books being returned on stormy days, as book covers once wet are never as good as before. Careful usage means longer usage and more new books. Lucy Hinckley, Librarian. West Vermontville By Mrs. Roy Weeks. i Do You Enjoy Your Nec-" | essary Winter Driving?

FRANK BOGGS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY WHEN THREATENS FARMER MENTALLY DERANGED KALAMO RESIDENT LODGED IN EATON COUNTY JAIL LAST WEEK. Frank Boggs, of Kalamo. was tak­ en into custody on Monday night of last week after neighbors had regis­ tered a complaint with the sheriff's office in Charlotte that the man was. parading about in the cold and snow in pajamas, carrying firearms, claim­ ing to be Jesus Christ and threatening to shoot one of the neighbors. As told by T. J. Mason, who lives within a half-mile of the Boggs resi­ dence. the man started his queer ac­ tions on Friday evening of the week previous. When he came after the milk he was clad in pajamas although weather was bitter cold. He suffered under the illusion that he was the Christ and that no harm could befall him because of his personality. On Saturday evening he repeated the pro­ cedure. except that he entered the house of Mr. and Mrs. Mason after they had retired and did not make his appearance until the Mason children came home from town. As they ar­ rived he came out of the Mason home and proceeded to his own home. The Masons had no idea how long he bad been in the house. Boggs continued his queer actions on Sunday and the Masons complain­ ed to the sheriff's office. On Monday evening Boggs appeared at the Ma^n home with a shotgun saying he was going to shoot Will Savage, another neighbor. While Mrs. Mason tried to dissuade him from going to the Sav­ age home one of the boys slipped out and proceeded to warn Mr. Savage. Another boy followed Boggs and suc­ ceeded in coaxing him back to the Mason home where they detained him until sheriff's officers arrived. So sure was he that no harm could be­ fall him that he was in no fear of the sheriff's handcuffs until they were snapped on his wrists and then it is said he almost fainted with the reali­ zation that he was only a mere mortal after all. Boggs was lodged in ’he Charlotte jail and it has not been learned what disposition was made of his case, \ Petition Asks For Vote on New School Bonds A petition, carrying twenty-two names, has been presented the local Board of Education, asking the board to sabmit to the voters of Nashville a proposition to erfcct an addition to the present school building, according to letters mailed to voters of the vil­ lage by the board last week.

Ford Sales CHRISTMAS PROGRAM DR. C. K. BROWN OpenAnd Service on South Main St. WILL BE GIVEN BY DIED SUDDENLY PUPILS OF 8 GRADES AT ANN ARDOR BELIEVED WELL ON ROAD TO RECOVERY WHEN SUDDEN RE­ LAPSE PROVES FATAL The whole community was shocked Wednesday morning to learn that Dr. C. K. Brown, one of Nashville’s beloved and respected physicians and citizens had suddenly passed away at an Ann Arbor hospital, death coming at 9.30 Tuesday night following a day tn which the doctor was felt to be well on the road to recovery. Dr. Brown had gone to the Univer­ sity of Michigan hospital on Armistice day to undergo a course of treatment for a serious malady which, to th? casual observer, was unnoticeable, but which was evident to himself. Two weeks ago he underwent an operation and his recovery was so rapid that it was believed he would be home with­ in a few days. Mrs. Brown had spent most of the past week at the hospital and on Tuesday afternoon she return­ ed home reporting that he felt so much improved and happy with the thought of returning home so soon. He had shaved himself, eaten well, laughed and talked throughout, the day. However, a relapse was suffer­ ed Tuesday night resulting in his death at 9.30 o'clock. Dr. Brown was born April 24. 1882, a son of Mahala and William Brown, in Martinsville, Ind. Early in life he moved, with his parents, to Oklahoma, where he grew to manhood. Working his own way through school he at­ tended and graduated from the Nor­ man, Okla., University, and the Illi­ nois College of Medicine, graduating from the latter in 1914. In 1916 he came to Nashville and, with the ex­ ception of 6 months spent in Lansing, had been continuously practicing his profession here since. August 1, 1916, the doctor was united in marriage to Miss Bessie Lofdahl. of Chicago, and to this un­ ion two children were born. Carl, age 12. and Jean, age 9. Surviving besides the widow and two children, are two brothers. Mau­ rice. Earl, and one sister, Mary Brown of Cushing, Okla. Fraternally Dr. Brown was a mem­ ber of Nashville lodge. No. 255, F.&A. M.. and other Masonic bodies, and Ivy lodge. No. 37, K. of P.. in each of which he was a highly valued and be­ loved brother. He had also served his village in an official capacity, with a term as village councilman and as a member of the board of education, retiring from the latter with the ex­ piration of his term earlier this year. While not affiliated with any church yet Dr. Brown possessed religious convictions "Which proved the valua­ tion he placed upon things spiritual. In a letter recently written to an aunt at Howell, Mich., he expressed his own belief in Christ as a personal Saviour, and his effort at adherence to this belief. While not actively en­ gaged in a profession of religious convictions, yet in his own quiet man­ ner he lived a Christian life in his ministrations to the sick and afflicted with a patience and sympathy which could only be considered worthy. The loss of Dr. Brown will be sore­ ly felt by this community. Respected as a citizen, esteemed for his expert knowledge of his profession, loved as a fellowman, his memory will be cher­ ished in many a household where bis presence has eased the affliction of illness and a cheerful word has .en­ couraged others in the battle toward recovery. The family has the kindest sympathy of a host of friends who grieve with them in their loss. Funeral services will be held Sat­ urday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the late home, and interment will be in Lakeview cemetery. Rev. A. L. Bing­ aman. pastor of the Evangelical church, will officiate. Carelessness Adds To Fatalities When Hunter Hunt Deer Carelessness with guns caused sev­ en deaths during Michigan's 1929 deer season. There were eleven fatalities in the northern woods during the recent deer hunting season, according to reports received by the Department of Con­ servation. Seven were killed in the upper pen­ insula and four in the lower peninsu­ la of the state. Twenty-three men were injured in one way or another during the deer season, the reports show. Six were wounded when they were mistaken for deer in the woods; three were struck by stray bullets. One man was Injured when a bullet aimed at a rabbit struck a tree and glanced back and struck him. One hunter lost an eye when a deer ran from the woods and plunged his head through the window beside the hunter who was driving a car. One of the buck's prongs struck the driver in the left eye. ' ■ A southern Michigan hunter was severely burned when his tent camp caught fire. Another hunter was in­ jured when he was mistaken for a rabbit He was shot in the leg. The toll of hunting accidents in Michigan since September 1. is now 26 dead and 38 injured. Before the deer season opened 14 had been kill­ ed. most of them in duck hunting ac­ cidents. During the deer season there was one fatality among rabbit hunters, a gun accidentally exploding as two rabbit hunters were in their home preparing their guns for hunting.

LASS The three Magi bore gifts to the manger where lay the Infant, Jesus, and hence, more than for any of the other reasons that enter, the Christ­ mas season Is a season of giving. Al­ though gifts are never out of season, Christmas in the Christian world brings their particular season. Do many of us therefore ask what of gifts and giving? . What story lies Not even the legends, much less history, go back to the time when gifts had not entered Into the life of this world. Evidently, at once after the idea of personal property dawned in the human mind, at once after men wrought the agreement among them­ selves enabling them to say “This thing Is mine,** came the exercise of the privilege to give It away. So the legends are threaded with gifts and, as history carries on the human tale, the story of mankind is fairly satur­ ated with accounts of things given and things received. Princes and kings bore or sent to one another. The munificence of an­ cient gifts is as fairy tale upon fairy tale. The Old Testament shows that interchange of gifts was customary among the early Israelites in all their walks of life. "Every man is a friend to him that give th gifts," says Pro­ verbs. A Rabbinical authority writes —"One did not come before God or a prophet or a king with empty hands". There were gifts as tribute, gifts at marriages, gifts between friends and gifts of subordinates to superiors "td smooth their faces." Yes, tainted gifts from a hateful and a long chapter In the story. Deuter­ onomy reports that gifts to Judges were forbidden since they "blind the eyes of the wise." The record is that gi’ 1s bound up with human origin that the gift may be an evil thin; a sanctlfled and beautiful thing ______ , _ of it, produced the Christmas ideal and Its celebration, merging into the latter the practice of giving gifts. When expressing Christ inn charity and rejoicing, Christmas giving sure­ ly exemplifies giving at Its best If, as seems agreed, the gift is the meas­ ure of the giver, perhaps all the mlllions upon millions of gifts at this season are the measure of the whole people. Is not this, making us in this country a people large of heart, properly in the story also? THE CARDS OF CHRISTMAS. With the advent of real cold weather and that most appropriate blanket of snow, the Christmas spirit has settled down upon the country. There are abundant evidences of It. notably the card of Christmis greet­ ings. The mails are heavy with them. In its more material form, the Christmas card business is tremend­ ous. In its spiritual dimensions it is even greater. Perhaps, in some in­ stances the exchange of these cards has become mechanical, a quid pro quo sort of thing, but with al! that. It reflects the better side of human As a result of "mail early slogans" these cards are received often two weeks or more before Christmas day. This is quite a contrast to the fash­ ion a few years ago of receiving these messages of good will perhaps not more than a day ahead of Christmas but usually Christmas morning. There are those who think earl y mailing, at least early receipt of the Christmas card takes away its tang, that it is eaaentlaly a greeting to be receiveu near or very close to Christ­ mas day and to have it arrive a week or more earlier destroys its full ef­ fect. But why should this be so? If all such cards arrived a week ahead and none later, the purpose might be Manufacturer of Home Pride Flour, Rye and Buckwheat Flour, Graham aota. and perhaps with some sur­ prise, that we are brothers and slaters under the skin and arc willing and eager, tn forget for a season the small jealous!and antagonisms that di­ vide us through the year. The grand name of charity deserv­ es to be freed of Its faint disfavor of sentimentality or careless and casual generosity. True charity is good will toward the good tn others, and it serves best In the partnership of in­ telligent knowledge. We cannot love the thing we do not know, and to un­ derstand our neighbor In his hopes and purposes Is first , essential to helping him In his need. The old proverb insisted that char­ ity begins at home, but this is no sign that It should stop there. Wider knowledge has made all the world kin and teaches us daily that our com­ mon humanity knows no boundaries. The season of good will, established twenty centuries ago in a village of Palestine, encompasses now the world and its nations and does more for the peace and unity of mankind than any institutions of our own fashioning.

"Anyone but you would have Just fretted In a strange dty. Instead, you get up a big dinner and everything for a lot of lonely old people. It—it was great! Honest. I almost cried as I watched them open -up their gifts beside the Christmas tree." “1 felt the same way. Jack. I was tempted to Just fret about being away from our folks; but, oh. Jack, I'm so glad I didn't! It was wonderful to see those old people so happy ’ And— and we had a wonderful Christmas, too, didn't we? A really merry Christ­ mas!—Katherine Edelman.

I The trough was a low flat VM ▼Wl lying between two hills In I the river section of a big city. The houses were old U<1 onpalnted. Poverty of Xjtafc all grades had huddled in * the trough for the last half-century. Christmas came regu­ larly to the homes on the higher ground, but In the trough all days were alike. Sammy was errand boy In a down­ town office, and It required all of bls $12 per week to pay the rent for two small rooms and buy plain food for his Invalid mother, himself and two little sisters. The clerks In the office were beginning to talk about Christ­ mas. Sammy had never seen but one Christmas tree but he believed in Santa Claus. He wanted a Christmas for his mother and sisters, but Christ­ inas was not for the poor. He tried to imagine what it would be like if Santa Claus came to the trough and brought Christmas to everybody. To Mr. Munson, a kindly young clerk in the office, he confided his wish for a Christmas in the trough. "Why don't you organize a Christmas cor­ poration and put on a Christmas of your ownF responded Mr. Munson. He went on to explain a co-operative company could be organized and shares sold and a <Christmas given to the trough withi the money. You could be president I will buy a few shares. And I know a rich lady, a Mrs. Bennett who will be here this after­ noon, and I .will ask her to be genyour corporation. The young man went to his desk, took out a corpor­ ation blank and filled it out in reg- APPRECIATION 1929-1930 Two newspaper reporters came In and were told about the corporation and the proposed Christmas for the the poor. Cameras clicked, and In the morning papers big headlines told the story. There was a picture of Pres­ ident Sammy. The article played up the story of poverty and made a plea for help. It told what was needed to make the tree a success, and pointed out that the name of Mrs. Bennett guaranteed the integrity of the cor­ poration. Sammy's employer called him into the private office and asked about the trough, about his corporation and his own family. He also subscribed for twenty-five shares in the corporation. The malls commenced bringing letters with checks for shares. President I . Sammy became I £ popular In the of- I fice. A survey trough population was made and ap­ peals were made in the big papers. The uptown mer­ chants sent dona­ tions of candy and Great quantitles ‘ toys were charitable people. and merchants. Wlth the cash contributed the mission work­ er bought shoes and stockIngs, boys, girls. was food, also orders for coal for the sick and the widows who lived there with families. A tree was put up In a great vacant room and everybody In the trough turned out The place bad never seen such a Christmas before. There was candy and toys, besides clothing, for all the children. Nobody was forgot­ ten. The old people were made hap­ py. Little gifts were sent to the homes of those who were sick and not able to be present President Sammy was the happiest of them all. His mother was there In a new wheel chair, his little slaters received new dresses, toys and dolls. Somebody put a suit of dotbes and a warm overcoat on the tree for the president of the Sammy Christmas corporation. Addressed to Sammy was a card from his employer wish­ ing him a Merry Christmas and say­ ing that his salary had been raised $5 Echo of Isdopaodanco Time "Wiled" Away Great Britain did uui immediately send a minister to the United State* after she acknowledged our Independ ence In the treaty of Paris In 1703 Her flrar minister did not arrive an til eight years after the close of the George Hammond, who arrived tn Phil adelpbla tn 17V1, was the first British minister to be received by an Ameri can President—Exchange. “Wile" Is the correct word tn the phrase to “wile away time."

FRED’S SHOE SHOP Mrs. Bennett came during the after­ noon, and after she had talked a moments to Mr. Munson, Sammy called over to the clerk’s desk. Munson explained the proposition •11 the details. Sammy was in seventh heaven of delight when Mrs. Bennett consented to become manager and subacrlbed for fifty shares of Stock. Mrs. Bennett said she knew the superintendent of the Mission Sun­ day school In the trough and she would ask her to take charge of the tree. Sammy told her about his home, his mother and little sisters, and some­ thing about the children tn the trough.

VON W. FIMSS Doe With Horns Killed By Hunter In Marquette Co. A deer hunter killed a doe, sub­ jected it to the inspection of a Con­ servation officer, took the meat home and ate it—and did it all legally, des­ pite the fact that others have paid fines for doing the same thing. It had been drilled into this partic­ ular deer hunter: ‘ don't shoot until you see its horns." He was thinking of that while be was roaming the woods of Marquette county. There was a stir in the bushes. A patch of brown was visible. It mov­ ed. "It has horns—It has horns," the hunter muttered to himself as he aimed his gun and fired. The deer leaped into the air, ran a few feet, and dropped. But It wasn't a buck; It was a doe with boras. One horn was ten inch­ es long. The other was a stub. The hunter was in a quandry. He killed a doe. which was against the law—, but it wasn't a doe, it was a buck. He decided to let an officer solve the puz­ zle for him. Ernest W. Libby, district conserva­ tion officer, ruled that a doe with legal length horns has lost all her maidenly or matronly privileges and if she is mistaken for a buck it is her own fault. The hunter was allowed to keep the deer. WANT COLUMN TOILET GOODS ■ Beautiful new compacts. Perfumes in boxes * and sets. Something brand new in sets for men—practical, beautiful.

FEIGHNEK L^,|OR years Mrs. Pendleton yL, ly had not believed in Santa [j Claus herself, but she I1' taught her little girl to beprl lleve In him. "It's a beautlful myth,” she said to T herself, "and I don’t see any harm In IL In fact. It’s really too bad there isn’t a Santa Claus. Since I was a child I have never enjoyed Christmas so much as I used to when I believed in him.” Just at that moment Betty Pendle­ ton returned from Sunday school. She was a pretty little girl with blue eyes and long blonde curls, but today the eyes were brimming with tears, and as soon as she came Into the house she ran. to her room. "xVhat's the matter?” Mrs. Pendleton called from the foot of the stairs. “What Is it. Betty?” Smothered sobs were the only an­ swer, so Mrs. Pendleton ran up the stairs and Into her daughter's room. She took Betty In her arms and tried /JHml I to calm her. but r xWth the sobs continued uncontrolled ' for some minutes longMwsfl'iAK 11 er. Finally she was V able to tell * mother what the Her trouble Bunday school teacher had Just F . I told the class that If I there was no San­ ta Claus, that he \/ w / was only a myth, JJ- k U&. and that. It was wicked for parents to teach their little children such a lie. More sobs followed the broken ex­ planation which Betty had given, and her little body trembled with convul­ sions of emotion.' Mrs. Pendleton had to think quickly and dearly. What was to be done? The child was heart­ broken. ana was still so young It seemed a pity that her teacher had disillusioned her about one of the lovelies' of childhood’s fancies. Her mother coaid not very truthfully deny what the Sunday school teacher had said, and she did not want to teach her child to question the wisdom of her teachers. It all seemed a terrible predicament for Mrs. Pendleton. But suddenly her mother Instinct solved the problem, and pressing her daughter more closely in her arms she said, "Your Sunday school teach­ er Isn’t married. Betty. I guess she doesn’t know all about such things. It's mostly fathers and mothers who really know about Santa Claus. Santa Claus Is the personification of the Christmas spirit He does not live at the north pole, as some people think, or If he does live there, he Journeys each December throughout the world touching the hearts of people to awak- en In them the Christ spirit of un­ selfishness and generosity. It Is usual­ ly mothers and fathers who know the most about him, because they love their children unselfishly as Christ loved little children, but* people who do not have any children themselves are also often permeated with this particular Christmas spirit of giving. Jesus said, ‘Let not your right hand know what your left hand doeth* and only those who understand His words can know the real Santa Claus. Some people exchange gifts at Christmas, and for them ___ Christmas has merely come to be a barter of pres1[ 111 cuts. They like V<||jl!L W [| people who Is giving something to them. But Jesus wanted giving to be done In secret, and San­ ta Claus is that secret Joy of giving which animates all mothers and fa­ thers and lovers of children at Christ­ mas time. .The Santa Claus you see on the street or In ,the_stores or Burglar* and Police Frank Gilbreath says burglars gel caught because they never hold con ventlona.

DIRIGIBLES Airplanes stir man's pride in hu­ manity's achievement ot what the oiras nave always known. Airships like the Los Angeles or the Graf Zep­ pelin, stir the imagination with some­ thing like. awe. They resemble noth­ ing else on earth. T hey might be vis­ itors from another planet. It is possible that the discovery that man can ride through the air suspended from a bubble of gas will prove in a hundred years to be more important than the invention of the airplane.

H. COOK Phone 96 CHRISTMAS IS MORE THAN A HOLIDAY It is a heritage of happiness in the hearts of men. Down through the ages it has brought the beautiful bene­ diction of inw HE big house on the hill was full of Christmas. In every room festoons of greenery, poinsettlas and holly wreaths vied with candles, bells and tinsel to make more radiant the festive scene and in­ crease the Christmas spirit.. There were two great cedar trees In the hall, one on either side of the mantel, und both were deco­ rated and overburdened with a har­ vest of Christmas cheer. The last one of fifty expected boys had just arrived—fifty boys whose ages ranged from nine to thirteen years. They scarcely looked the scions of wealth and ease. The trag­ edy of struggle was deeply graven on every countenance and greatly over­ aged their api>earance. They Mere clothed In a nondescript array of longworn garments, each article of which had been divorced from a former suit and handed down from a former own­ er. Patches, tatters and rags covered faded, oversized, buttonless shirts and constituted their full dress for the occasion. They were from the back streets and alleys and from bedn»oms in woodsheds, warehouses and basements. They were happy today,____ Each looked around upon . " . the resplendent luxury with pop-eyed astonishment. It was all unreal and new to them. Down from the mantel behind trees came candy and nuts, and It was all for them. There was a pair of warm mittens for each boy, a cap and a pair of shoes with warm wool stockings for‘each one. Santa Claus distributed fifty new, crisp two-dollar bills, one to each boy and everybody was happy —happy for once. . A long table stretched through the dining room and the library, whit a covered and weighted down with a dinner that looked like the flare of heaven to .the hungry boys. There were twenty-five chairs on each side of the table and one placed at the head to be occupied by the young hostess. The young hostess was Miss Georgia Cadwell, eighteen years of age. She was the daughter of the late George Cadwell and possessed to full meas­ ure Ids generous spirit and keen alert­ ness. Her father was born on Christ­ mas apd two years ago he had died on Christmas. One year ago she and "Peace on Earth; Good­ will to men! And each year it brings us anew the pleasures of wishing you a "Merry Christmas and abiding Hap­ piness throughout the New Year." As we welcome the joyous holiday season we re­ call many pleasant associations during the past year and wish for you and yours, everything good throughout the New. Lentz Table Co rhey Fell Upon the Greatest Dinner They Had Ever Seen. her mother had given a dinner like this to the same number of homeless boys. Perhaps ten of those present today had been present a year ago. Dinner Mas announced. A scram­ ble for the chairs followed. Not schooled in the. ways of polite society or held In check by super manners, each boy secured a chair and but for the clanging of u 1>*U the grabbing would have ■ started. Miss Georgia asked the boys to stand up for a mo­ uiwl ucuuiu uiuir ment behind their ciusiiM. chairs. When vi or­­ der was restored, she bowed her head and in a cletr ringing voice, Kdd: So come tod^y and with u« share This fcaat of Christmas chesr and joy; i««etp<pc©©©ct< Then the hrys fell I'tr t*a!r chairs and about the came Gue ie.1 upon the The waiters plied their plates with turkey and cranberry jelly, hot buns, brown gravy, roast meats, and any kind of vegetable desired. Tills was followed by courses of plum pudding, mince pie, fruit cake and Ice cream. Mints and nuts, apple® ■“<* oranges climbed out of the baskets and slipped Into grlrrjy pockets for future refer­ ence. Appetites began to slow up. Stomachs never before guilty of over­ inflation began to show distention and assume rotundity. Expressions such ns, ’'Gee, I'm full" and “Golly, I wish I could ent some more,” came with real sincerity from the stuffed diners. Miss Georgia arose ana said, “Now, boys, If you will be quiet a moment I have a story to tell you. I think that perhaps ten of you were here a year ago today and will remember the story, but I will tell It again and hope to tell It again and again on each re­ turning Christmas for years to come. “Up until two years ago when my father died, I had never known any­ thing but a happy Christmas. But It was not so with my father. He was often cold and hungry and Santa Claus brought him no presents. He never remembered bls father and his mother wns very poor; and when she died daddy had no home and, no friends to help him. He found a place to sleep In the back shed of an old warehouse and a kind old man gave him a quilt and a blanket that were little better than raps. He ran err rands and did odd jobs for which he got a few nickels and pennies. “His name was George, but most of those who knew him never heard his name because he was generally called ‘the alley kid.’ The alley kid’ knew that there wns a Christmas for most boys and girls, but he had never had one. The day he was ten years old was Christmas. It was a cold day and daddy had no presents and no breakfast. Everything In the garbage cans was’frozen. He wandered about In the cold and watched the happy crowds go by, but they brought noth­ ing for him. He was cold and hun­ gry; sometimes tears came into his eyes, but he brushed them awny lest somebody should see them. “In the afternoon a little girl came down the street, carrying a basket of little boxes filled with candy and nuts for poor children in that section of the city. She saw him and gave him ES« ailed the 'All*. Kid.'” a box of candy. Childlike, she asked him what he got for Christmas. “‘I didn’t get nothin',’ replied the shivering boy. T never had no Christ­ mas.’ ’* ‘Did you have a Christmas din­ ner?* asked the little girl. “’I ain’t had nothin’ today.’ “’You can come to my house and my mamma will give you some dinner,' and suiting action to the Invitation, she pulled at ids arm and George fol­ lowed her rather reluctantly into a better part of .the city and into a big warm home. George was soon eating the first Christmas dinner he had ever had. The little girl's papa talked kindly to George and that night he was given a bath, a new lot of clothes, and for the first time since he could remember he slept In a dean, wann bed. "The rest of the story is soon told. George never went back to the old alley to live or sleep. That little girl was my mamma. Her papa gave George a chance to work and let him go to school. He grew to be a fine boy. He was taught to tell the truth, to be honest and industrious. He be­ came a smart business man. On Christmas day when he was twentyone years old there was a big wedding In the home where he had had his first Christmas dinner and he was married to the little girt He worked hard and was honest and every Christmas he and my mamma used to carry a basket of food and nice things to the poor people In the part of the dty where daddy used to live. Daddy worked until he got to be president of the b!~ bank yrhcro ho flr-t began to work. Before he died he told me tills story and said he wanted mamma and me to help poor l>oys who had no homes to have a good Christmas. Bo daddy was born on Christmas, found bls first friend on Christmas, ate his first good dinner on Christmas, was married on Christmas and died on Christmas. When he had money of his own he made a happy Christmas for as many as he could. "With each returning Christmas mamma and I will do what we can to carry out daddy's plan to make a hap-' py Christmas for homeless boys. We want you boys to grow up to be hon­ est men, to be successful In business and in turn to make a happy Christ­ mas for other poor boys. “If nothing happens, there will be another dinner here next Christmas, and all of you are welcome to come ngnln." EipectAd Co«e« Coroump- The largest chain of food stores in the country has just announced a sharp reduction in the retail prices of coffee. The market of this commodi­ ty has suffered a severe decline during the last month, as a result of over­ production. Prices have been main­ tained too high by Government regu­ lations of exports in Brazil. Bankers In London have been liberal lenders against surplus stocks. However, re­ cent developments In the world’s mon­ ey markets have brought about a change in attitude. Further credits are only available if self-liquidating; meaning that coffee must be sold within a determined length of time. The wisdom of Mr. Hoover's sincere warning to the coffee growers is re­ called. His point of view as to arti­ ficial price control Is well known. The abandonment of restrictions on rubber shipments from British Malaya was largely due to Mr. Hoover’s campaign, as Secretary of Commerce, against the practice of Government interfer­ ence in the marketing of commodities. It is a recognized fact that agri­ culture throughout the world needs protection to the extent that an or­ derly marketing may be assured. The coffee planters face the problem of great variation in the size of their crops and the need of holding a sur­ plus from a large crop over to anoth­ er year of smaller production. Legiti­ mate credit facilities for such a pur­ pose seem the only solution. It is expected that the present low prices will greatly stimulate consump­ tion. Coffee is already very popular with the American public. However, more will be used when the cost is low. Every American should remem­ ber that coffee is the life and blood of most Latin-American countries, which offer the greatest foreign field for goods manufactured in the United States. About fifty percent of our Latin-American Imports is coffee It is principally with coffee that our goods may be purchased. The de­ crease in the value of coffee must be offset by a corresponding increase in volume. Every housewife can now afford to M liberal in the use of coffee. The Great Z.tlantic & Pacific Tea Compa­ ny is rendering the coffee planters a great service by leading in lowering the retail prices of this commodity. Incidentally, more than ten per cent of all coffee consumed in the United States is sold thru A; & P. food stores which already is a public recognition of this organization as a distributor of coffee. It is estimated that the re­ duced prices of A 4 P coffees will mean a saving of ovir $1000,000 weekly to A & P customers. “Wonderful Are g| Merits ofThis Famous Konjola” Grand Rapids Man Tells How New Medicine Ended Years of Stom­ ach Trouble.

Mr. Kane started his Masonic career in Detroit In 1916, receiving his En­ tered Apprentice and Fel­ lowcraft degrees in that city. He was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason in Nashville later in the same year. Proceeding in his re­ ception of Masonic work he became a member of Peninsular Chapter, No. 1, in Detroit, tn 1917. Later in the same year he be­ came a* member of the Highland Park Commandery, No. 53, and in 1918 joined Moslem Shrine in Detroit.

T. B. Enjoyed By W. L. C. Ass’n for 1930 At Tuesday Meeting The Woman's Literary club held their Christmas party at Putnam lib­ rary Dec. 17. There was a good at­ tendance despite the icy condition of the streets. After business items had been disposed of. we enjoyed a sex­ tette by singers from our high school. Misses Lucille DeWitt, Georgia Gribbin, Louise Wotring. Helen Brumm. Patricia McNitt and Betty Lentz sang "The Light of Bethlehem." We are always grateful to our young people who help us so often. Mrs. Carl Lentz acted as hostess and told us that the Lang players of Oberammergau would present "The Littlest Shepherd." Robed in an elaborate costume, Mrs. Chester Smith gave the story of the playlet. The play opens with David, the Lit­ tlest Shepherd, waving farewell to the shepherds who are leaving to find the Christ Child. After they are gone he drops down by a large boulder and begins to cry. A young maiden ap­ proaches and twits him for crying. He assures her he was laughing be­ cause he is so happy to be left in charge of all the flocks. He tells her where the shepherds have gone and she coaxes him to go with her and follow them, but instead he gives her his lunch and bids her go alone. Lat­ er she appears as a Fairy star and blows star dust in his eyes and he falls asleep and sees a wonderful sight. The manger with the Baby Jesus. Mary kneeling near. The King of the North looking very thoughtful. Shepherds and wise men stealing quietly to the manger, and high over all is an Angel who guards the new-born babe. When David wakens he is so happy and the Fairy star tells him always to live by this motto: “To be happy you must first make others happy." Then she tells him to watch for her in the heavens each night, the smallest star near the moon. She then whispers some­ thing to David and disappears. The message was that behind the boulder a treasure chest would be found with gifts for each one present. During the dream of David, Mrs. Hale Sackett sang “O, Little Town of Bethlehem.'* The cast included: Da­ vid. Mrs. Frank Purchias; Fairy Star. Miss Helen Brumm; Shepherds. Mrs. Gordon Edmonds. Mrs. W. A. Vance. Mrs. Lucy Hinckley; Wise Men, Mrs. G. E. Wright, Mrs. Franz Maurer. Mrs. Charles Dahlhouser; King of the North, Mrs. Belle Everts; Mary, Mrs. Arthur McClure; Angel, Mrs. H. R. Willet After gifts were distributed by the shepherd lad. cake, ice cream and candy were served. And as the company dispersed many complimen­ tary remarks were heard on the fine entertainment provided for our final meeting of 1929. A delightful Christmas party was enjoyed Monday evening following the regular meeting of the Pythian Sisters at the Pythian hall. The holi­ day spirit prevailed everywhere. A Christmas tree with all its gorgeous decorations graceo one corner of the hall, around which all eyes were fixed while Santa Claus and his helper dis­ tributed gifts. Reminiscences of lormer celebrations were related; •«ongs were sung, and Christmas read­ ings given. Then as a surprise, the Most Excellent Chief. Mrs. Edith Kleinhans, brought forth a big plum pudding just gloating with goodies, and from this each guest “pulled out a plum" which proved to be a delight­ ful gift. Two groups of members intended to spring a surprise when it came time for refreshments, so need­ less to say there was an abundance of home-made candy, popcorn, peanuts and the like, as each group unknow­ ingly planned the same treat. But ths over-supply of good things to eat by no means detracted from the en­ joyment of the evening. Five" principal objectives, to be reached through funds raised in the present sale of Christmas seals, are on the program of the Michigan Tuber­ culosis Association for 1930. Officers of the Association, in announcing plans for next year, express the be­ lief that the 1930 chapter of the an­ ti-tuberculosis campaign will be the most effective ever carried on in Michigan. Concentration on child health as a means of preventing adult tuberculo­ sis occupies a leading place in the organization's platform. Princess Watassa. who during 1929. gave her Indian health program before more than 80,000 children, will visit as many of the schools requesting her as time permits. Propaganda for more sanatorium beds, to provide for the tuberculosis sick who at present are unable to se­ cure treatment in a sanatorium, will be carried on continuously. Early discovery of tuberculosis, par­ ticularly In its childhood forms, will be stressed in an intensive April campaign. Wider distribution is planned for the pamphlets and magazines issued by the Association, including Michi­ gan Out-Of-Doors. 180,000 copies of which were sent free of charge to residents of the state during 1929. Further extensions are planned in the Association’s free chest clinic service, through which examinations were given without charge this year to 2,100 persons. To Taxpayers of School Dist. No. 1, Fr. It has been intimated that you wish to have older and more exper­ ienced men spend the district's mon­ ey. Therefore, if the proposed $75.­ 000 bond issue carries Thursday, Dec. 19, we hereby pledge ourselves to call a special meeting within ten days af­ ter election at which time you will be asked to elect three men to act as ■ building committee to work with the board throughout the building of the new addition. Every member of the board Is more than willing to do anything in his power for the betterment of the school and for the best interests of the whole village. We will therefore be pleased to co-operate with, and seek the advice of the building com­ mittee in all we do. (Signed): G. C. Edmonds, Pres., J. R. Smith, Secy.. W. Hecker, Fred Wotring, E. L.

It fills a place which nothing else—read- over a group of gay. llght-hearfed people, while a sprightly composition will quickly restore their gayety. Great use of the fact that music does have a large influence over people's moods is made in theatres, where the music is wonderfully portrayed on the stage, and so helps sway the audi­ ence. Rare indeed is the person who does not yield to the spell of music. Tennyson realized its charm when he said: "Music that gentler on the spirit lies, Than tli*d eyelids upon tir’d eyes." Longfellow paid a tribute to music in the liner: "And the night shall be filled with music. And the cares that Infest the day, Shall fold their tents like Arabs, And. as silently steal away." Music draws people nearer togeth­ er and makes them feel more friendly. William J. Long, speaking of Sidney Lanier's belief, says: "Spiritual har­ mony, the concord of soul, which' makes strife impossible, may be at­ tained through music." Lanier him­ self. with whom music was a passion, said: “Music means harmony, har­ mony means love, love means God.” Again Lanier said: "To make a home out of a household, given the raw ma­ terials, to-wit: wife, children, a friend or two, and a house—two other things are necessary. These are a good' fire and good music. And inasmuch as we can do without the fire for half the year, 1 may say music is the only es­ sential.” The love for music is natural. All races of men, from the most primitive tribe to the most advanced nation have always had their music. Lanier said: "Late explorers say they have found some nations that have no God, but I have not read Of any that had no music." People of all ages enjoy music: the baby likes its jingle bells; the little boy whistles, and plays his mouth­ organ; a group of young people invar­ iably sing or have music of some kind, and elderly people enjoy their radios. Musical entertainments are popular everywhere. Music spreads a glamour over com­ mon, ugly things, and makes a palace of a lowly hut, so that often it would be easy to agree with Disraeli that: "If it were not for-music, we might in these- days say that beautiful is dead.” A heavy task is lightened by music. Quintilllan said of this: "Men, when even alone, lighten their labors by song, however rude it may be." To say what music is, in a way that would satisfy a true music lover, would be difficult. It is easier to agree with Carlyle that: “Music is well said to be the speech of angels,” or to say with J. G. Holland that mu­ sic is "A thing of the soul; a rose Up­ ped shell that murmured of the eterThe room was fittingly decorated In the Roman colors, red and white, and the tables were decorated with flow­ ers and goblets of red wine.

Mrs. Sackett aang a beautiful solo. Mrs. Geo. Evans gave a splendid re­ view of the third chapter of our stu­ dy book, whict^was the story of the -Winning of Europe from paganism to Christ. The primitive church was alowly dividing into two branches, which have remained thru all the cen­ turies. The Eastern or Greek church centered at Constantinople, the others at Rome. Upon the Eastern branch devolved the task of evangelizing the eastern half of Europe, the Serbs, the Bulgarians, the Rounlanians and the Russians, while from Rome came the first missionaries to France, Ger­ many. England, Ireland and Scandi­ navia. Because the pagan tribes had no written language the first mis­ sionaries were obliged to reduce the language to writing and invent an al­ phabet before translating the. Bible into their language. The knowledge of Christianity spread from tribe to tribe. In fifty years all the seven kingdoms of England were won for Christ. The Scandinavians were the last to receive the gospel. The work of women was most prominent in the conversion of all the peoples ol Eu­ rope. • All the missionaries gave the Bible to the common people until Boniface, who lived in the latter aprt of the 7th century. He went from England, first to Holland, then to the various Ger­ manic tribes. Gradually he came un­ der the Influence of. the growing pa­ pal power until in his later years his marvelous gifts were laid at the feet of the papacy. He established the use of the Latin language in the liturgy of the church and forbade the reading of the Bible in the language of the people. Had he adopted the plan of the Celtic missionaries and translated the Bible into the every day .speech of the people the gradual mitilarizaing of, the church might have been prevented, and the need of the great reform under Luther in the 16tn cen­ tury averted. It took more than a thousand years to displace heathen­ ism in Europe, yet people are some­ times Impatient over the slow pro­ gress of missions today, tempted to give up because the Kingdom is slow in coming. Then as now, people said "Why not, let them alone 7 There is plenty of work to be done at home.” What would we be today had no one come to the wild, barbarious tribes of Europe—to our ancestors 7 In grat­ itude and appreciation can we do less than continue to take the gospel to every nation?

Said by "old-timers” to be the worst snow storm ever experienced this ear­ ly in the season, Nashville and vicini­ ty—in fact moat all of Michigan—has been literally “wallowing" in drifts of snowy whiteness that defied the use of automobiles and on numerous roads blocked passage to the extent that teams were unable to’ get through during the past week. The village was obliged to dig Its way out and so much snow was piled up on local streets that it looked like tunnels had been dug for passage. Starting about the middle of last week and continuing for about three • days, the weather man didn't stop the snow fall until 12 to 15 inches (on the level) had fallen, and then a stiff wind whipped the snow into drifts which varied in height from two or three to four and six feet deep. The storm and wind continued until late Friday night offering co opportunity to clear blocked highways until Saturday morning. Even then small headway was made during the day, a few of the farmers being able to come to town in sleighs, picking up neighbors as they came along and returning with groceries and mall for themselves and their neighbors who could not get to town because of the drifts. Mail carriers were helpless against the drifts and not until the middle of this week were they able to make their routes with any assurance of getting around. Even yet the carriers are unable to cover all the roads on their routes and much of the mail . has to be sent out with neighbors or left at the nearest house on the route where it can be picked up later. Snow plows have been employed on the state highways to open them up for traffic and these roads have been fairly passable since some time Satur­ day. Trains were running late during and after the storm, some of them pulling in several hours behind sched­ ule. • In Nashville, village authorities got busy Friday with arrangements to have teams and men at work Satur­ day morning to haul snow off the main streets. Because of the severi­ ty of the storm on Friday several of the farmers who had promised to come were unable to get here and as a consequence it was late Saturday morning before a new bunch of teams and men could be secured to begin work; However by Saturday after­ noon streets were being cleared and the work continued Monday and Tues­ day until Main street has been fairly cleaned and side streets have been cleared with a scraper so that traffic can use them without being forted in­ to deep snow. u le snowWhile the snow could not‘ ’have worse time of year, so far in concerned, rnnrpmpd still Christas business« is Christ­ mas shoppers braved the weather and the hard going -♦<1 to get to town and from Saturday until Wednesday night ay buying was h L'—y — .. ‘±2 ehrStstores.

The following item, taken from one of the dailies will be of interest to some of our readers in the Guy Dis­ trict, and in this village: Marcellus. Dec. 24.—George Griffin celebrated his one hundred and first birthday anni­ versary here Sunday with but one re­ gret—that growing weakness pre­ vents him from working. His mem­ ory is clear and he recalls many early day events of the community. • • • Mr. Griffin is an uncle of Mrs. Allen Feighner, Mrs. Mary Hoisington and Mrs. Clair Pennock, of this place. He is the last of three brothers who came to the United States from England over eighty years ago. and has lived in the vicinity of Marcellus since that time. The other two brothers were Thomas and William, who took up homesteads in the Guy District William, the youngest of the three brothers, passed away several years ago, but Thomas lived to the age of neaply 98, going to his golden reward about two years ago. When wc think At this advanced age. 101 years, that one year over the century mark must almost seem like beginning life all over again—but, in a new world filled with strange surroundings from those of 101 years ago. It required eight weeks for these brothers to cross the ocean, the same trip now requiring less than a week. Hours and even days were taken up in the early days to go short distances through the wilderness to markets with ox teams, and on foot, and now with automo­ biles and good roads these same mar­ kets are reached in a very few min­ utes.

PROPOSED SCHOOL BUILDING BONDS AGAIN REJECTED THREE HUNDRED THIRTY-SIX VOTERS GO TO POLLS IN SPITE OF WEATHER. Three hundred and -thirty-six eli­ gible voters waded snow and braved a raw wind Thursday evening to reg­ ister their opinions on ballots as to whether Nashville should build a $75,­ 000 addition to the present school plant and the “nays" won by a mar­ gin of 24 votes. The voting took place in the school building, with members cf the board of education and Mrs. Edne Furniss 'serving as election board members. Six ballots were thrown out as dis­ qualified because of their marking. Those in favor of building the unit registered 153 votes and the opposi­ tion 177. Opening with the public meeting at which time the purpose of the elecdon is read by the clerk and a teller appointed from among members of the public outside the board of edu­ cation, voting was in progress within ten minutes after the meeting was called to order at six o’clock, and a steady stream of folks continued to file through the voting place until well onto nine o'clock when the late comers began to thin out. Even so there were folks voting until the last few minutes of the open polls. Snow, which had fallen steadily for most of two days prior to the meeting, proved to be no deterrent. Sleighs and some of the lighter cars were pressed into service by both sides and were busy throughout the evening carrying voters to and from the school house.

Rev. G. E. Wright, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating. Burial was In Lakeview cemetery. Fergus Henry Roe was bom at North Adams, Mass., on the 24th day of November, 1846, and died Decem­ ber 20th, 1929, at the age of 83 years and 26 days. He was the youngest of seven children and the only one of them born in the United States, the others being bora in England. At the age of seven years he moved with his parents to Bellevue township, Eaton county, Mich. He was reared on a farm and edu­ cated in the district schools. On attaining his majority he went west, spending a portion of two year in the states of Missouri. Kansas, and Texas. He later returned to Michi­ gan and engaged in the lumber busi­ ness at Coral. After this he opened a meat market in Olivet, which he conducted for about a year, after which he opened a market in Nash­ ville, starting in business Sept 1, 1873. Along with his early market business he bought and sold live stock, covering a period of over forty years of active business operations in Nash­ ville. He served Several years as su­ pervisor of Castleton township; also as township treasurer, village trus­ tee and on the Board of Education. On October 24, 1874, he was united in marriage to Melissa Davis, and to this union five children were born: William. Ernest Vidian. Beatrice and Linna. The sons have passed on be­ fore. and the two daughters are Mrs. Beatrice Coats of Oakland. Calif., and Mrs. Carl H. Tuttle of Nashville. Surviving him besides the widow and daughter, are eleven grandchild­ ren, two great-grandchildren and sev­ eral nephews and nieces. Mr. and Mrs. Roe had lived happily together for over fifty-five years. Mr. Roe was a life member of Nashville Lodge, No. 255, F. & A. M-. a veteran member of Ivy Lodge, No. 37, Knights of Pythias, a life member of Laurel Chapter, No. 31, Order of the Eastern Star, in each of which he was a highly respected member. He had been confined to nis bed since July 20th, and during all that time had been a patient sufferer, with a smile for all who entered his pres­ ence. Family Gatherings, Christmas Dinners Provide Entertainment Christmas day in Nashville was a quiet affair after the last three or four days' rush of Christmas buying which followed the terrific snow storm of last week. Many family gatherings, with the customary’ boun­ tiful feasts and gift giving were found in practically every home. Sons and daughters were home from college, family friends or immediate members of the family participated in a Joyous celebration of this favorite holiday occasion. And the young­ sters enjoyed the coming of Santa, especially since he was able to make his trip in the old-fashioned sleigh rather than by airplane or automo­ bile.

Nor is it misrep­ resentative to say that the material prosperity, of which we may be prone to boast too much, has been a potent factor in promoting the cultural ad­ vance of mankind. . Dour souls profess to believe the people are "getting worse.” They may be right, but there is not wanting evidence that the spirit of human brotherhood is growing stronger and warmer. Charity is more conspic­ uous than cupidity, the will to peace is gaining ascendancy over the arro­ gance and pride and belligerence that aforetime ruled the hearts and minds of'men, the principle of live and let live is so commonly accepted and act­ ed upon that we now help our neigh­ bors to live and improve their condi­ tion. All these constitute spiritual advances. But they would not' amount to much were they not financ­ ed. They could not be adequately' financed did we not prosper material­’ ly. There is therefore solid reason1 for rejoicing that business has been‘ . the year ahead. Science and invention have contrib­' uted to the prolonging of human life,• to making the work of the world eas­‘ ier of performance, to increasing the' healthful pleasures of the people, to broadening opportunities for culturalI improvement The finer things of, life are better appreciated and more’ in demand.

And that faith in‘ God has been strengthened is not to’ be doubted by anyone who observest the growing eagerness of our peopleto promote the spiritual welfare of the nation-by alleviating and remov­’ ing physical ills and disabilities ac­’ cording to His plan. Generally speaking, it is well with America and.1 the worid at the dawn of 1930. We wish all a Happy New Year, confident that conditions are favor­’’ able to realization of happiness in greater measure than has been known. A NEGLECTED RESOLUTION We have no wish to preach, and e well aware good resolutions consti­ tute a tender subject—seeing how nearly all of them are broken within the first few weeks of each new year. Nevertheless, we venture a wisp of advice to those who are about to greet the first day of 1930 without definitely deciding what they are or are not going to do. This suggestion of ours is not new, but because it is not much used, may be called as good as new. It does not require any special preparation, such as throwing away ash-trays or smash­ ing cocktail glasses. It does not even involve suffocation of a habit, harmful or extravagant, and can be quietly applied without attracting special no­ tice from any one—until it gets in good working order. Then It may become a matter for comment, but only of the most praise­ ful sort. In the Dictionary of Desira­ ble Traits it is defined as tending to your own business. And it comes in assorted sizes, to fit even those who have little business to attend to. THOUGHTS. One of the most interesting men in the United States is a nerve-special­ 1st whom I am fortunate enough to count among my friends. The other day he was called upon to testify in the case of a woman who had been paralyzed by falling from a street-car. She could not move an arm or a leg. Needles thrust into the flesh pro­ duced no palm., and the other customary tests all proved to the satisfac. tion of the jurors that paralysis was complete. She was awarded heavy damages in spite of the testimony of my friend, who was convinced that her condition was entirely the result of her own thinking. He took interest enough in the case to follow it up, and discover­ ed that two days after the award of damages the woman had made a complete recovery. “You will say she was faking," he said in telling the story’. “Was she? I say to you that with all my knowledge of the nervous system, I oould not produce in myself such a condi­ tion. You couldn’t do it The woman herself could not do it again. But the combination of the shock and the thought was sufficient She knew she was paralyzed, and so she was. T saw the same sort of thing again and again in the war," he continued.

Because she "stirred people up to think who had never taken it Into their head to think before,” Madame de Stael was banished from France by Napoleon. He could banish her, but he could not stop the thinking. It broke him. It can break or make us all. TEACHING BEAUTY IN THE SCHOOL. Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, points out that if we are ever going to rid' America of blotches on the landscape in the shape of billboards, junkpiles, ugly roadside buildings, unattractive filling stations and'dirty and disreputable approach­ es to towns and cities, the movement must begin In the schools. Dr. Wilbur is right. The school­ house itself should be the most beau­ tiful building in its community, inside and out Its.grounds should be the most attractive and the best kept An important part of school training should be in such Intelligent appreci­ ation of beauty that children will grow up hating ugliness. Things like that are more import­ ant than much of the stuff with which school course* are filled now. Most of the book-learning the average per­ son needs to get along in the worid can be compressed into three or four years. The more intelligent pup'ls realize that and leave school early, to learn about the world and how it is run by working in it. Preparation for life is the real func­ tion of the school. To train children for life calls for competent teachers. It is quite as important to have ex­ perts to take charge of our children as it is to have competent help to look after our livestock. Adequately train­ ed teachers art not cheap. The meas­ ure of any community's regard for its children’s future is the salaries it is willing to pay its school-teachers. A RADIO SERMON NOT SUFFICIENT. Dr. Charles R. Brown, former dean of Yale Divinity school says, “The dif­ ference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church is the same as the difference between call­ ing a girl on the telephone and spend­ ing the evening with her.” "Most persons who tune in on radio sermons are radio quitters; doubtless some of them think they are doing God -------------------— ------------favor by listening in, but— they no positive gdod In the com­ munity." “The Bible does not say that God so loved the worid that he telephoned down the good news. He sent his only begotten son to die." Why not accept the invitation and COME TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY? As life draws to a close some men take up religion; and some take up golf. You can be an idealist, however, without slipping the other fellow all the aces. The first essential for becoming a young intellectual is an allowance from dad. The "charming naturalness" you like in a girl cost her many, weary hours of practice. Another economy effected by matri­ mony is the saving on novels dealing with red-hot love.

Speedy Relief for Sore Throat THIS DOCTOR’S PRESCRIPTION REQUIRES NO GARGLING. No longer is it necessary to gargle and choke with nasty tasting medi­ cines to relieve sore throat. Now you can get almost instant relief with one swallow of a doctor’s prescription. This prescription was refilled so of­ ten and became so popular that the druggist who originally filled it de­ cided to put it up under the name Thoxine and make it available to ev­ ery one. The remarkable thing about Thox­ ine is that it relieves almost instant­ ly. yet contains nothing harmful. It is pleasant tasting, and safe for the whole family, and is guaranteed to relieve sore throats or coughs in 15 minutes or money back. Just ask for Thoxine, 35c. 60c, and $1.00. Sold by Von W.

They had barely finished when the village folks began to straggle In. laden with baskets of food. It was to be a community dinner, followed by carols and games and the distribution of the few presents they had been able to assemble from the town's meager resources. It was when the games were the very liveliest that the crash came—a crash that jarred the little school­ house and brought the merrymaking to an abrupt standstill.

The boys and girls shouted with glee and the older folks looked on In amazement. Tom and Santa Claus walked straight to Miss Johnson. Santa Ctaus pulled off the .great fur cap.

Betty studied them critically. “Why did you run away last nightF The voice s<mnded strange and un­ canny as the dummies looked. Betty started, “Oh. I—wlml do you meanF “Just that,** be said; “I don't believe you knew I was the Scotchman." “Why. I never dreamed It," she laughed. “Then, won’t you go with me to the ice rink tonight? I love to skate with you. Betty. I do enjoy skating. Then perhaps you’ll tell me why you ran away" * Betty laughed happily and promised. Back to the main floor they went, forgetful of the badly needed bead. “Where’a the new doll, BunehtoeF said Hattie. “There wasn’t any— that is—that would do." Betty was thinking more cf skating than of mar­ celled dummies that day and soon an­ other girt had the demonstration.

Tbe clinic nurse made immediate attempts to get all five into the State Sanator­ ium at Howell, but was successful on­ ly in the case of the father. The mother and three girls were forced to return to their farm and attempt as best as they could to earn their living and at the same time take treatment at home. Disheartened by their inability to follow doctor's orders and also carry on the farm w;prk, and facing the prospect of insufficient food during the winter months, “Miss M. K." wrote her pathetic request for help to the Michigan Tuberculosis Associa­ tion. A nurse was immediately sent to visit the family again, efforts to se­ cure sanatorium care for them were renewed, and several weeks ago the mother and three daughters were also admitted to the sanatorium. Upon arrival at Howell they saw their fath­ er for the first time in three months. A happy contrast with the first let­ ter received from "M. K." is furnish­ ed by the following greeting sent to the Michigan Tuberculosis association by the girl shortly before Christmas; "Wishing you a successful Merry Christmas and a happy New Year — Your Friend. M. K.” The aid given this family by the Michigan Tuberculosis association Ls a sample of work done throughout the year by Christmas seals, the for­ mal sale of which was concluded on Christmas day. Persons who have not yet made remittances for their seals are urged to do so at once. CHANCE FOR SPORTSMEN TO 1)0 GOOD ACT State Will Furnish Feed for Game Birds.If Sportsmen W ill Put It Out. The extremely heavy snow fall will be fatal to game birds, and other birds unless some effort is made to feed them. For this reason Deputy Con­ servation Officer Sumner asks all the sportsmen around the county to place feed out for the pheasants and quail. The State Game Department is'very willing to co-operate along this line, and will furnish the feed for this pur­ pose. All who wish to assist in feeding the game birds are requested to call at the Sheriff's office and secure a supply of feed, which of course will be furnished free of charge by the State Game Department. In case the roads are blockaded so that it is impossible to get to the city. Deputy Sumner will make an attempt to take the feed out to them, if they will get in touch with him. In the village too. and in the rural districts as well, the little birds should not be forgotten. Crumbs from the table, pieces of stale bread, suet and the like will be especially relished, and our little feathered friends will amply repay these evidences of thoughtfulness and kindliness next spring with bursts of sweet song.

The old lady moved down toward him and handed him her loveliest package with a cheery “Mer­ ry Christmas!"

Guy Comers Taket Chttrch O//jcf [ Farm Accounts Kept With Little Effort SHORT PERIOD OF TIME EACH WEEK GIVE DETAILED REC­ ORD OF YEAR’S BUSINESS. Only two hours to set qp the in­ ventory and 15 minutes each week for entries are needed to keep a comCete book account of the average Ichlgan farm business, according to statements by members of the farm management department at Michigan State College. Two thousand farm account books printed last year by the college and sold at cost to farmers failed to meet the demands. Organized groups in 38 counties contained 859 men who were given personal instruction in farm accounts by specialists from the College. In each of the 38 counties the groups wer%called together at the be­ ginning of the year and assistance was given in setting pp inventories. Later, a visit was made to the farm of each man and the books were checked for accuracy. The farm account books made it possible for the farmer to determine the returns from his business, profit or loss, and his labor income. The keeping of books does npt directly in­ crease farm receipts but it does al­ low the farmer to find which farm practices gain or lose money, and he is able to change his methods to avoid the losing enterprises. The College has printed 7,000 books this year to supply the increase in de­ mand. These will be sold by the farm management department and by county agricultural agents for 20 cents each. The State is divided into four dis­ tricts for taking inventories, and the dates for starting the books are Jan. 1, Feb. 1, Mar. 1 or April 1. By Vonda Elliston. Mr. and Mrs. F. W.

It didn't mean a thing any more—If it ever did—he rather doubted if It ever did.

WHAT WILL THE NEW YEAR BRING? (Continued from first page) For the farmer, the outlook seems better than for the business man. Fol­ lowing are conclusions drawn from the latest summary of the agriculture situation by the United States De. partment of Agriculture. The world’s wheat crop of 1929 was lower than the previous year by over 300,000,000 bushels. More of the American crop was rushed to market early, depressing prices. Growers with wheat in storage will get better prices for it. Feed grain stocks on hand are low. prices strong, outlook good for continued good prices. Fruit and vegetable crops were below nor­ mal for 1929. with outlook for better prices for 1930. Potatoes in storage Delow normal, prices tending to rise. Beef cattle prices show no sign of improvement. Butter and eggs are feeling the effect of the general busi­ ness decline, but probably will Im­ prove as general business accelerates. Hogs and pork will continue to do bet­ ter for the farmer than lambs and wool. If the textile markets improve, as business leaders predict, cotton will benefit. Larger number of farm producers are associating themselves in cooper­ ative marketing organizations under the federal farm board act, with the result that prices of farm products will tend to become more stable and producers will get a larger part of the price paid by the consumer. Full re­ alization of the advantages open to farmers under the Farm Board Act probably will not come about for sev­ eral years, or until farmers every­ where have learned how the new sys­ tem operates and how to take advan­ tage of it. Uncertainties which may affect all forecasts are: Ultimate form of new tariff act. General tendency will be to stiffen prices and so stimulate agricultural and business profits but may also In­ crease living costs. Congressional investigation of Stock Exchange may take a wide enough scope to disturb business gen­ erally by creating uncertainty and fear. c Outcome of Disarmament conferen­ ces meeting in London in January is entirely unforaeeable now. Not much likelihood of serious international complications arising, but always a -xMsibility of sharp disagreement which would disturb international trade if nothing worse. All of the worry over 1930 comes from the collanse of the roeculatlve boom on the Stock Exchange. Apiroxtmately four and a half billion iollars was lost by speculators. The 'osses have to be compensated for by withdrawals from savings banks, cur­ tailment of expenditures, reduction in the ocale of living, on the part of sev'-nl million families. The winners, who now control larger oools of capi­ tal than before, are going to try to keep from losing by being careful about the Investment of their aug­ mented funds. They are taking a broad view, however, with an eye to the general continued prosperity of the country, for the greater part, and most of the money which changed hands in the greatest speculative movement In history will come into productive use within the year.

They came with thoughts of permanence. It was their intention to found a new land and a different manner of life., Long years of dis­ satisfaction. persecution and restric­ tion lay behind them as they sailed. Hardship, privation and rigorous dis­ cipline awaited them. Lesser souls would have compromised with what they had in hand and forgotten the dreams of new conditions saying: “The present is hard but the future is difficult, too. Why attempt a change?" Many indeed argued in just that fashion. Others faced the lure of the far horizon. Tbe difference between those who stay and those who travel ever on­ ward is found in that sense of insight which we call spiritual , vision. It is more 'than a mere ability to forcast future developments. One of spirit­ ual vision looks backward as well as forward and up as vt'e’l as down into his own heart. Such a one evaluated what has gone before. He It is who sees the interrelation of all life—its fortuitous combinations and its mal­ adjustments. Looking often upward toward the ideal and being ready to ad act finer ideals he turns to the mo­ tive center of his own life first and then directa himself to the tasZ: of stirring the motive sources of other lives. Action follows and another bit of building Is done or another mi­ gration is started in some realm of human life. ?'my a race has endured by fre­ quent r’igrations. Pushing over the land’s run they have come into new territory. The trek was proposed by men of vision. There is little free land left for mo . aments of peoples. There are. however, unlimited possi­ bilities for spiritual and intellectual migrations within national borders. Happy, indeed, is that people who have leaders with that sense of inner sight which alone can promote the opening of new territories of human experience. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
