HASTINGS NATIONAL BANK The Only National Bank in Barry County No Sense In Expecting Japan to' z Make War On the United States Every once in a while thc yellow journals controlled by W, R- Hearst break out in flaming headlines in denunicatlon of Japan and the Japanesc. The Hearst appeals to tills coun­ try are to beware of Japan, as Japan has designs on our republic. Common sense ought to show that that would be absurd. It would be difficult indeed for a poor country like Japan. 0.000 miles away from us. wage a successful war against the United States which, has ten times thc financial resources of Japan and twice her population. We are not under­ rating the Japanese.

Taxes on real estate which have approached or reached the point of confiscation in many states could be replaced by taxes which would fall upon the people able to pay if the states would take ap thc problem as a unit instead of as 48 individual bodies, according to the statement of Dr. H. B. Hibbard, Uni­ versity of Wisconsin, in an address given at Michigan Slate College. An income tax. which was died os an equitable tax by the Wisconsin pro­ fessor, can not become fully effective he said, as long as individuals can avoid payment by moving their taxable property from a state which has a high income tax to one which has a lower one.

Feldpausch’s "Where Better Foods Cost Leu" Groceries PHONE 2272 Meats Vegetables WE DELIVER DISCUSSED FOUNDA­ TION PRINCIPLES Middleville Pastor, Bev. Mc­ Kean, Spoke to Rotarians on Monday The other day I was handed a small pamphlet to read, entitled. "Keep America Free." I am an American citiaen, I believe In right, and aa be­ lieving in the principles of liberty and Independence that our forefather* fought for. I most certainly do. Where are the laboring closae* of people standing today? They repre­ sent their labor and the other fellow set* the price, and on farm products, too. They are forced to accept It or go without work, and carry the hard earned product* back home, where the perishable product* must be dump­ ed. The other fellow then >et* th* price on his merchandise, and the la­ boring claaa must pay It or go without. Yes. our forefathers did a fine thing In gaining both their own and our liberty for us. Later in the 60‘* they fought again to free the colored slave, and won. Then they had done their part, leaving the future for the coming generations. Now. do you think we ougpt to lay down on the job when there is another struggle, that tor freedom of white labor? Do you think they will ever be able to set prices on their labor or on their farm products? Do you think they will ev­ er be able to set prices on the mer­ chandise they buy, whether from local or foreign? Or will they always be spoken of aa just the hard laboring class? I tried to sell a load of wood the other day to home town merchant* but was told that they preferred cool. When I asked them why they burned coal, they replied that it was cheaper. When they ask me why I trade at the chain store, I replied, that It was cheaper. They prefer to send their money to Kentucky, Ohio and the two* Virginias. I know that-the old Ume merchant i* being forced out of business every­ day by the chain stores, but too, the old time fanners are being forced from their farms every year at tax '.ime with enough wood on their farms to pay the taxes for many years to ome if they could Just sell it. We have also tried to sell cabbage n our home town, but could not do so. The merchant* either buy their sup­ ply-in Grand Rapids or want you to cut your price more than in two. or else will not give any reason at all for not buying. But when I took my cabbage to the Kroger store. I found o buyer os. he said he would take it all, and asked how much he owed me without gnimbling about the price. It was the same way with hick­ ory nut*. After trying other store* first-1 took- th«m-to-4h*—-A.- -and - P.vhere I sold them and received orders for more. As to the prices paid by the eastern fellow later when he gel* control as we hear so much about, it couldn't be worse than It is now. As for the Farm Relief, we don't think they have hurt themselves much. We all know that agriculture Is the backbone of the nation but at pres­ ent price* of farm products, I fear that the backbone will have to Import some rub alcohol to take away the The speaker and honor guest at the Rotary luncheon Monday noon was Rev. McKean, of Middleville, pastor ।I; ‘he ^‘’ScKe^*0 voi^ nin. 1 j Those who heard him are sure that he has a fine future before him in his | j chosen work, . — Ho- discussed the -■ foundation prin­ ciples that make for the stability of our country, without which It* prog­ ।ress would be impossible. First among ।these is the home. He mentlbncd sev­ (eral of the thing* that have arisen in ।our modem life that interfere with ।home life—especially such home life a* . we used to have In this country, before I there were so many diversions and dis­ tractions. He Insisted that there Is no i task more important to a husband and <| wife than that of making a good home; getting the confidence of their children and retaining It and helping them to develop physically, mentally and spiritually. The next pillar that is an essential in a democracy like ours he declared Is the public school. If wc are to main­ tain democratic institutions wo must have an educated citizenry. The modem public school offer* the mean* to that end. American*, if they are wise, will do everything that is possible to mnke the schools more efficient and more helpful. Wc ordinarily think sf tnc home as a place. We associate with the. idea of the school a definite building. But the next pillar he said had no such con­ crete material expression. Il expressed a spiritual value, which he called "obedience to law." When there 1* dis­ respect for law. which is the public will, there can be no stability for a democratic government like ours. He said there existed the undoubted right 'if every man to express hl* opinion for or against any law. If a citizen doe* not like a law. it 1* his privilege to work to have that law repealed. But •no citizen. In his judgment, had any right to defy or disobey any It w that is upon the statute books. The citizen's business is to obey the law whether he likes that law or not. Another foundation of a government like ours is the Christian church. Christ in his life taught the principles of real democracy. Wc agree, all of us. he said, that human nature itself is too frail to be depended upon; but there can come into one's life the pow­ er which Christ brought Into the World—His own “spirit?—Then there Is an added force, an added power to that man. a power which enables him to do what he would not be able to do him­ self. Another foundation principle is the Bible. He said that we could interpret the Bible aa our convictions and judg­ ment might decide, but the experience of the centuries had shown that the ten commandments arc the founda­ tion of public law. that Christ's teach­ ing of good will ahd love have wonder­ ful power in shaping individual and social life. 1 Mr. Merchant, as soon as you fol­ -The hearty applause given Rev.

"it has been tiie custom for .pessi­ mists and calamity howler* to state that the 'saturation point* had been reached, a* far u ■ automobiles are concerned, and that 'next year' would see a big falling off In their production. Year* have come and gone, and every year has either marked an -increased, or al least has equalled the highest production of any former year. "This i* a big country, and a rapidly growing country." continued Mr. Hurd, 'and the wealthiest the world ever knew. There are over 25,000,000 cars in this country alone. The average life of a car is about seven years. That means that 'replacements' alone call for 3.500,000 car# every year. We make about 5 500,000 cars a year. That leaves only about 2,000,000 car* to take care of our rapidly growing exports of automobiles and to meet the demands "As the manufacture of automo­ biles.- he said, “has got down on a more stable basis, and manufacturing economies have permitted constantly reduced prices, more, and more fam­ ilies are using two cars, three cars and quite often many more. The constantly growing number of families using more than one car Is surprising." -I am starting out on my second year as Chevrolet dealer in Hastings." Mr. Hurd continued, “and I am looking for­ ward to a good year, especially in view of the recent reduction in price. Last year my contract called for 210 cars and I sold more than I contracted for. Sat­ urday I sold three new ones, and I never had so many prospects for new machines os I hash right now." •Therefore*” he concluded. "I am looking forward to a good year for 1930. and despite the ravings of pessimists md calamity howlers, I am sure that vhen next Deember comes. 1930 will be found to be a good average year for automobile sales. The good old U. S. A. is a fertile field; her people thrifty and nrogressive—YOU SIMPLY CANNOT KEEP HER DOWN." Ladie*' High Zipper*. Colors: Brown, Mottled Gray and Black.

History of Past Prophecies Shows That Probably Nobody Will Guess What It Win Be. but We Predict - More Sanely Than of Yore By Mark Sullivan '1 (Reprinted from Detroit Saturday ------- NlghLJ—-------------The turn of the year will bring dur­ ing the coming week the uaual quantity of thoae. engaging prediction* about what is going to be during the 12 month* ensuing. They feed a hi/man appetite which is as old as the time when the Roman oracles foretold the fate of emperors and tribal medicine men killed animals to find out from some faint variation in the entrails what would be the outcome of battle or how large would be the coming crop. True, to speak of these ancient aug­ uries in the same breath with the eco­ nomic predictions that will be made next Wednesday, would be unfair to the latter. Such prophecies of trade as emanate from .sound sources have the validity that goes with Inference based on tested data. The comparative dis­ appearance of belief in arbitrary signs Is one of the clearest evidences of the gradual ascendancy of intelligence over superstitution. (Though there is a surprising num­ ber of exceptions to this advance, the late Mrs. Warren Harding, when she was in lhe White House, frequently consulted an astrologlst. One rather hopes the seer was good-hearted enough to predict less misfortune than actually attended the unhappy Hard­ ing family.) Nevertheless, the predictions of even those most competent to prophesy, of those who hold themselves austerely down In existence—even such economic fortune tellers are pretty fallible. Any reader of this article can treat himself to an experience In skepticism by turn­ ing back to the newspaper files of last Jan. 1. and trying to find any prohecy of that day which said that during lhe year 1028 there would occur the most precipitous and spectacular stock ex­ change panic in the history of the world. ’ The writer of this article, for sev­ eral reasons associated with his work, had had an unusually large experience In resurrecting prophecies and compar­ ing them with what later came about. Each presidential year as the Novem­ ber decision approached, he has looked back for the predictions preceding pre­ vious, elections. to examine the grounds on which such predictions were based. About the time of the turn of the century—about Jan. 1. 1900. that Is— the imaginations of men were greatly stirred by the passing of the nine­ teenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. There was an immense outpouring of augury, in books, mag­ azines and newspapers and from the pulpit. Nearly every public figure of any consequence tn every field was be­ sought to say what was about to be. The writer of this article has had occasion to examine these prophecies with close care. Then at the beginning of each year It has been increasingly tiie habit of newspapers and periodicals to print predictions, especially in the field of trade. These, too, the present writer has had occasion to examine. One deduction from the mass Is that prediction, when it comes from per­ sons of standing, has been on the whole Increasingly accurate It has been Increasingly accurate because the data on which such prediction can be based, has become Increasingly accur­ ate and voluminous. One of the important character- istlcs of the age in which we live is lhe increase of records and their accu­ racy. .Greater and greater quantities of records are kept; they are kept with greater and greater accuracy, and the agencies by which such rec­ ords are made public and diffused throughout the world have increased rapidly. The consequence Is that lhe world to an extent never known be­ fore. acta on facta, plots its course upon facts. More and more we live up to course® predicted for use—even dictated for us—by charts and graphs. Facts are supplanting emotion as the motivation of government and of individuals—and this Is decidedly an Important facet of our modern world When Adam Smith wrote his Wealth of Nations, there were almost no business data in existence. Conse­ quently Smith wrote his treatise largely on assumptions, one of the as­ sumptions being that he himself was an average man aqd that mankind In the mass would act. under given clrcumslances. as Adam Smith would act. We now know there was error In thal assumption. We now have enormous masses of data showing how men an4 groups of men have actually acted under given circumstances. A conse­ quence is that today a competent stat­ istician—If otherwise equally equip­ ped (which Is a weighty qualification> should be able to write a treatise on political economy more sound In some respects than the Wealth of Nations, that has enjoyed classic authority for more than a century and a half. Nevertheless, In spite of the increase of data and the Increased possibllly of forecast based on tested data-in spite of that, the outstanding Impression Of one who has read moat of the proph­ ecies of the last 30 January 1st*—lhe strongest Impression Is the fallibility of prophecy. A good many American reputations could be seriously im­ paired, could be brought to the risk of jeering by a malicious person who should dig up these prophecies of one. five, ten and twenty-five years ago— and print them In the harsh light of the subsequent facts. No one on/any Jan. 1 has been able to see whaf turned out, a* a rule, to be the most Important event of the ensuing year. No one on Jan. 1. 1903, predicted that within the year the air­ plane would be Invented. No American on Jan. 1. 1914, predicted that the great war would come or that some three years later we would raise millions of young men to fight in It. It U a safe guess—not a prophecy— that during 1930 something will hap­ pen. which none of the seen will have foretold, but which subsequent history will record as the most Important event of the year. Within the material world there are whispers of possible development* which, if they come, might be as rev­ olutionary as the coming of the auto­ mobile, or, underlying both lhe auto­ mobile and the airplane, the Internal combustion engine—possible Inventions as sensational as the radio or the tele­ phone when it came. There are whis­ pers about a new process for making nitrogen artificially, and about trans­ mitting electric power without wires. There are intimations of a develop­ ment which. If it should come, would cause the familiar coal car to disappear from railroads—suggestions that in the near future coal will be burned at the mines and the resulting agencies for “Gold Bond Tire Store*” —January— Clearance Sale On All Sizes and Make*—-Ajax, Fisk, United States and Mille/ Tires.

There is a atory about looking for­ ward. which every Individual might profitably bear In mind as suggesting how little a forecast concerning the course of the world In general may mean to any one individual. This fan­ tasy was first told some time ago by Lord Dunxany. in a charming short story. Lately, since the November stock exchange collapse, the story has been retold, with variations adapting it to New York, by a comedlah on the stage of that city. As told originally, the story was about a London specu­ lator In.stocks. The speculator. In the fantasy Lord Dunsany wrote, itsd secured on a certain New Year’s Day 1 promise from a potent agency of destiny, that the speculator could make anv one request and that it would be granted. The speculator, after deliber­ ation as to what one gift would serve him most, concluded to ask for an ad­ vanced copy of The London Times of the ensuing New Year’s Day one year later. Ominously, the agent of destiny asked the speculator If he was sure this was the one gift he desired more than any other conceivable one. The speculator was sure It was. Tn due course the advance copy was delivered. Hastily the speculator turned to the Stock Exchange quota­ tions. Carefully he made notes ot what would be the price of certain stocks a year later. Thus equipped with the facts w!;h which he could make his fortune, the speculator, in a mood of agreeable relaxation, thought It would be entertaining to read the remainder of the paper. When he came to the obituary notices he found, lend­ ing all the rest, an obituary about himself, satisfactory infe Its laudatory details, but starkly distressing in the grim evidence that nothing he could do with his foreknowledge of stock quotations could benefit him in this world. If we turn to events in the world of politics and public affairs and If we confine ourselves to matters already arranged for. we can say' there are two that have outstanding Importance. One Is the London conference for the limitation anti reduction of naval arm­ ament. to which our delegates will be aboard ship within little more than a week. We know the conference will take place. Its outcome we cannot know. It would be pleasant to predict It will be successful—and It Is a fact thal the overwhelming weight of the fac­ tors are on the side of Its being succwful, It la almoit inconceivable that the efforts of such men as President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonold should come to nothing. President Hoover with hi/ Quaker conviction and patience,- his engineer’s care about ground work and his resourcefulness and persistence; Prime Minister Mac­ Donald with his idealism faith and power to move multitudes. Yet in spite of the best these two and their associates can do and hove done—in spite of that, the success of this conference rests on the public opinion of lhe world and on the agencies that Inform it from day to-day. By happy fortune this conference can begin and-go forward in the at­ mosphere of good-will; by evil for­ tune, differences over details or other misadventure, accidental or malevo­ lently designed, can be magnified and can cause this (conference tp go the way of the Oebeva conference, to a conclusion and failure. We cannot know the outcome. We can. with reasonable certainlty,' ,esti­ mate the consequences 0? failure. -If this conference should come to noth­ ing the world will put one outstand­ ing interpretation on lhe failure. It will be recorded that five great na­ tions are unable to agree with each other not to engage in a competitive race in naval armament. *7pon such a conclusion the ensuing consequence will be that the race will be on. The race will be on and will go forward at a pace more accelerated than if the conference had never taken place. The other outstanding event in in­ ternational relations will be America's adhering or not adhering to the world court. That this question will come to de­ cision In 1930 is not certain, but Is probable. Such International under­ standings are of slow growth. It was In February. 1921, thal. President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes transmitted the original world court proposal with their favorable recom­ mendations. to the Senate. It was not until Jan. 27, 1927. nearly five years later, that the senate acted, accepting lhe original proposal with five reserva­ tions. Now. four of the five senate res­ ervations have been accepted by the other nations, and as to one reserva­ tion the other nations have proposed a modification. It is on this modification that the coming controversy will turn. As to the time when the senate win act. predic­ tion Is futile. There Is no imperative reason why President Hoover should urge action, nor why the senate should act promptly upon his urging. It has been observed, however, that some senators have already become, sur­ prisingly. eager that action should be be taken fairly soon. What this means Is that public sentiment throughout the country, favorable to the court, has be­ gun to express itself in urging* upon individual senators, and senators wish­ ful to show response would like early action. . Within tha field of domestic poUtto* one coming event Is fixed infallibly. In November next we shall elect a whole house of representatives. 435 and one-third of the senate, 32. Thgt fixed event of November will cast an elongated shadow over every other po­ litical event and every other political activity ot the year. Its shadow has al­ ready been on the tariff debate "that ihas taken place. I The shadow will be acutely on the tariff deliberations as they resume next week. There will be men. man, of them. In both chambers and In both parties who will act on the tariff upon conviction. There will be other* who will act upon self-interest.

Thermometers being as scarce as “hen's teeth." no I one knew exactly how cold it was.

The fall of snow was so heavy that the horses had to, wade or wallow) through drifts all the way arriving hqmc laic and finding lhe snow banks high all around tha, premises. After caring for his team, his first concern was u> round up the, stock, but counting his flock of sheep over and-over, every time there was one sheep missing, and after hunting I around in the deep snow for a long tunc, he gave up the search in despair.; knowing that one of his flock was 1 buried somewhere under a bank of | snow was probably smothered to death I and would never be found till the snow 1 melted away iiTthe spring.

THE DETROIT NEWS SAYS: The Raisin Brook Packing Co. is coming to the rescue with a plan to stave off the threatened meat famine. Everybody knows that the prices of Beef. Lamb and Pork are soaring and lots of folks who like ineat are becoming vegetarians for economic reasons. The Raisin Brook Packing Co. puts its faith into rabbits and is putting its good money into the first rabbit slaughter house and cold storage plant erected in the state. w - , What J. S. Cowgill Thinks of the Raisin Brook Plan: To Whom It May Concern: Knowing how hard 11 is to make money, these days. In moat any line of work, when I heard of the Raisin Brook Packing Co., I de­ cided to investigate. After visiting their plant at Dundee. Mich.. I am convinced they are on the right track from a commercial standpoint to make the rabbit business a success in Michigan. The killing plant which is very modem, trucks and other equip­ ment, along with the school (the only one I have ever heard of), represent a large investment and looks permanent. I Rare invested In 10 does and one buck and will raise these ani­ mals in my back yard for a real profit as their contract sure is fair and guarantees schooling, market and price. I am planning on a nice income in a few months with this start. Yours truly, : MAKE $3,200 A YEAR IN YOUR BACK YARD. The possibilities in this field are unlimited—practically a new Industry in this part of lhe country—millions pf dollars will be made by the people who purchase rabbits NOW—and take advantage of this opportunity. With Raisin Brook rabbits you are in business for yourself—your efforts make the profit*—you cannot fail with the instructions we give you and the frequent visits Sore Throat?

Last Week’s Letter * Little Phyllis Scott is quite seriously ill with Khroat and gland trouble. Mr. and Mrs. 'Harry Sandbrook spent last Tuesday and Wednesday near Blanchard. Harrison Blocher entertained their daughter. Mrs Wm. Strong and hus­ band of near Detroit, last week. Not much news as the roads have been very bad. School began in the Wellman Dis­ trict today after being Shut down for 10 days on account of the. bad weather. John Blocher and Barry Wellman are not Improving. Don’t suffer lhe pain and discom­ fort of sore throat. Use a doctor's prescription called Thoxlne. guar­ anteed to relieve with the very flrat swallow. Gargles and salves are too slow and if they do relieve, it is usu­ ally only temporary. Thoxlne has a double action—it relieves the soreness and goes direct to the. internal cause. It contains no harmful drugs and is safe and pleas­ ant for the whole family. There is nothing better to stop coughing due to Irritated throats. Just ask for Thoxlne; put up ready for use in 35c. 60c. and $1.00 bottles. Money back if not relieved. Sold by Pre­ scription Drug Store —Adv. of our field man. '__________ ”■ J. 8. OQWOILL. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE SAYS: , Young rabbits are produced at a low cost be­ cause they are nursed by tiie doe until they are sold and are not fed any grain during the first three weeks. • Mr. Weygandt says that many more breeders are needed in the Middle West to supply the potential demand for rabbit meal in the bigger consuming centers especially Chi­ c-igo. Don’t heiltatA—START NOW. 100 breeding doe* will raise In 1 year 2400 young. These can be soltLas fryers at the age of 3 months at an average weight of 6 pounds. If we pay yon 25c a pound live weight you will receive in cash $4,200. Housing, feeding and other expenses may be deducted and you still have a net profit of $3,200. What other business can you enter with such a nonflnaT investment and guaranteed market that will show you even one quarter of the net profits possible in this business?

M- Court and South Church During 1029 the city constructed the paving on Broadway, between State and Green streets, except that which was done by the state, also put in something over three blocks of paving on South Jefferson street. There is J still in the paving fund $4,652.23. ac­ cording to the city’s books. Some will be added to this fund by residents on the newly paved streets, who will pre­ fer to pay ail the paving costs al one time. A further installment will be made next July, when there will also be raised by taxation something like $5,200, which goes into the special paving fund, according to the charter amendment which was voted some time ago. It is estimated there will be. af­ ter the next tax collection in July, something like $12,000 In this fund. Just what paving will be undertaken in 1030 we do not know: but we know there is quite a little sentiment in the council in favor of paving Michigan avenue, from the present terminus of the.pavlng on that -street north about 30 rods, where it will intersect the paving on M-43. There have also been netltions placed with the council, which we hope will be favorably acted upon, asking the paving of one block west from Jefferson street on Court street, then nqrth on Church street to State. Wc hope that when that shall be done the council can see its way clear to continue the paving this year on Court street west from Church to the Intersection with Ilroadway. That will be of material assistance to traffic in the city and-wlll-be an added con­ venience to the business section. In the not distant future we hope that Michigan avenue can be paved south from State street to Green, and Church street south from State to Green, if that shall be done it will re­ lieve the congestion on certain streets and be a great accommodation.

UOHGH LODGE OFFICERS LOCAL O. E. 8. CHAPTER EN TEBTAINBD LAST TUES­ DAY EVENING MRS. GEORGIA BAUER IS GRAND ELECTA Most Delightful Gathering At­ tended by Over Two Hun­ dred Fifty Stars One of the most enjoyable event* in the history of the local chapter of the Order of Eastern Star was held last week Tuesday evening in the Masonic temple, when about 250 members from this and neighboring chapters gathered to pay honor to Mrs. Sue EL Raudebaugh grand worthy matron of the grand chapter of Michigan. O. E. 8. and other grand chapter officers, par­ ticularly Mrs. Georgina Bauer, who was chosen from this city to fill the position of grand Electa. The meeting started with a 6:30 din­ ner after which a reception to grand officers and visiting matrons and pa­ trons was held in the chapter room followed by a social hour when every­ one proceeded to get acquainted with everyone else. The chapter was opened in form for special meeting and the following grand officers were presented and brought to the east:—Grand Worthy Matron. Mrs. Sue E. Raudebaugh. of Lansing; the grand secretary, Miss Genevieve M. Nauman of West Branch; the grand marshal. Mrs. Lil­ lian Pattison of Lansing; grand Esther. Miss Vivien E. Beers of Belle­ vue: and grand Electa. Mrs. Georgina Bauer of Hastings. Previous engage­ ment dotes prevented the attendance of the other grand officers, all of whom sent regrets. . For the benefit of the grand officers, the officers of the local chapter execut­ ed a beautiful floor drill.' which is a feature of this year's initiator}' work. A few words of welcome from the worthy patron were ably responded to by Mrs. Raudebaugh. Immediately following was a program composed of musical numbers, readings and short taj|ts. Plano solos by Mrs. -Margaret Troxel Cochran of Jackson and Mrs. Lou Maus; a piano duet by Mrs. Edith Johnson and Mrs. Ruth Havens: Ger­ trude Chamberlain and her sister. Mrs. Florence’Zimmer, gave a vocal dtieT; Mrs. Honora Pratt gave two very amusing readings; Mrs. Gertrude Burch and Mrs. Marie Crue, the two special soloslsts of tiie local chapter, <ach sang a beautiful selection: Lyman Chamberlain gave a ten minute talk on the meaning of Eastern Star sym­ bols which was greatly enjoyed. Inter­ spersed were inspiring talks by each of the grand officers. ’ In a tew words worthy intron J. Mort Townsend, presented the grand worthy matron a remembrance from the local chapter. Brother Leon Bauer was escorted to the east where he presented his wife. Mrs. Georgina, with a gift from her own home chapter. This was an oc­ casion fora very pretty ceremony when the sisters representing the five points □f the Star, escorted by the conduc­ tresses. formed about Mrs. Bauer, and cacjj of them in a few nicely chosen words presented her with an armful of flowers. Mr. -Bauer's recent tragic ex­ perience. his long confinement in the hospital and his present frail physical condition made this particular fea­ ture of the evening's events a most touching occasion. ' Other gifts were received by Mrs. Bauer from some of her admirers, one of them being from Mrs. Sadie Hilton of Saugus. Mass. Guests were present from each of the other chapters of the county as well as several from neighboring chap­ ters. The chapter room was very hand­ somely decorated with palms, potted plants and cut flowers under tiie di­ rection of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Wilcox. The dinner was prepared by Mrs. Jennie Mannl and her committee, and the dining room was in charge of Mrs. Marietta Eddy and committee, red be­ ing the predominating color in honor of Electa. During the dinner the Masonic orchestra rendered several beautiful selections. Mrs. Ida McCoy, the regular pianist for the chapter, played for all the spe­ cial features. Mrs. Georgina Bauer became a mem­ ber of chapter No. 7 about 16 years ngo and served as matron in 1916-17. She has always been a faithful worker and is well qualified to fill this honored position to which she has been chosen with credit to her chapter and honor to herself. Hastings chapter No. 7 deep­ ly appreciates the honor that has been extended to it in this selection of one of its esteemed members. 20% Discount On All Zippers Women** All Wool Lo-Zipper*.

GATH­ ERING SUNDAY ON LAW ENFORCEMENT FAVORS PRESENT STATE CRIME COMMISSION Said That Swift and Certain Punishment Was Best Way to Check Crime Prosecuting Attorney W. O. Bauer gave an Interesting talk at a meeting held Sunday afternoon in the Metho­ dist church under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. He said that if the mem­ bers of that body thought the adop­ tion of the 18th Amendment ended their labors they were wrong in their reckoning. There was sure to bo need for their earnest work in the future. Speaking for Barry county there could In no question, he said, about the circuit Judge, sheriff and the prosecut­ ing attorney's offices being in the hands of men who are disposed to en­ force the law: but he reminded hte hearers thkt if they needed officers who would do their duty, the officers need folks who will support and co­ operate with them. He reminded his hearers that the laws, as they exist today, in his Judg­ ment too much favor the criminal and make it altogether too difficult to con­ vict. because of technicalities and be­ cause of the seeming anxiety of law makers to protect the criminal. He said he was glad there te a state crime commission now at work to sug­ gest changes that could be made that would make it easier to convict crimi­ nate and much more difficult -for them to escape. He said that he did not be­ lieve the Jury system ought to be abol­ ished. A majority or at the lowest three-fourth* vote of the Jury ought to be sufficient to convict except In mur­ der cases. He also said that he thought it would be a step In the wrong direc­ tion if the sentencing of criminals should be taken away from the Judge. He said the most feasible way to check crime te by swift and certain punishment when the crime ls com­ mitted and ending the long delays that are now possible. He believed the time had arrived when every county should have a full time prosecuting at­ torney. who would be debarred from all other practice and compelled to de­ vote his entire time and efiorts to the work of hte office and the protection of society. He told the parents, who were pres­ ent at this meeting that the break­ down of the home is the greatest feed­ er of crime at the present time. Chil­ dren properly trained in good homes, he said, are not apt tq become crimi­ nals. It Is from homes that' are broken by divorce or from other caus­ es. or where children are neglected that the young criminals of to-day come. He said that it is still true, and would always be true, that the safeguarding of the home-as well as the safeguarding of the lives " children means the urgent need ot morality and religion In the home.

It ranges from manuscripts ot the 10th century to the choicest editions of the 15th century. One book alone, a 38-)lne Bible, thought by tome to be the first book printed by Gutenberg, would probably bring »100J»0.00 al any auction. Plan­ tln was always a student of typogra­ phy and from a study of his publica­ tions it is evident that hte style was Influenced by the great printers of the 15th century. The library Includes a representative collection of specimens that illustrate the development of printing In Germany. Italy. France. Holland, and Flandert. Ptenlln’a mas­ terpiece and the book that almost brought him financial ruin was a polyglot Bible printed in Greek. Lat­ in, Hebrew and Chaldealc with a French translation of each text. This tremendous work was printed large folio In tWo volumes on a splendid paper hand-made from linen rags. The edition was 8 years In process and special fonts of type and characters* had to be cut. Phillip II of Spain promised financial aid but never gave IL Plantln would never have under­ taken such a work without the promise of aid. for the material cost alone was larger. Many of hte contemporaries claimed it would be fmixjssibie to com­ plete such a work at any price. Wellknown scholars helped him prepare the text. Since Phillip Il’s promise turned out to be nothing more than wasted breath. Plantln had to pay 25,000 florins each year on'the loan contract­ ed for the printing. In addition, of course, he had the expense of running hte establishment. But as usual he per­ sisted, kept up-his optimism, and came through with added prestige for having accomplished the impossible. Not the least Interesting place In the establishment te lhe quaint old Flemish kitchen where many a choice banquet must have been prepared for Plantin's ample table. There you can still see the large open fireplace with iu andirons and grilled iron supports for kettles and stew pots. An old wicker bird-cage te still hanging in the comer. It te not hard to imagine what a bustling place | thte kitchen must have been when। Plantln was at the peak of hte success and popularity. Then you might have seen a roasting lamb being turned I slowly over a bank of glowing coals and | sending delicious odors out into lhe inner court, while the cook was basting the crackling brown surface with steaming gravy. Slews and soups bubbling away in shining copper ket­ tles on either side would send out their appetizing steams. On-the table in readiness for serving would be musty looking bottles of rare old Flemish wine. In all lhe bustle and confusion lhe qomplacent, efficient Madame Plantln. would act as general overseer and Inspector. The kitchen, perhaps, te less changed than any room In the house. Plantln had to abandon hte Antwerp establishment for a time- Authorities were jealous of hte prestige, and var­ ious religious factions accused him of , partially. All of these petty difficulties in addition to the ordinary troubles of a printer made Antwerp too much of i a hot bed for one of even hte tranquil disposition to endure. So he went to Leyden and established himself in busi­ ness there. After a few years the troubles blew over and influential friends paved the way for hte return. He continued printing in Antwerp for the rest of hte life ^ncl evidently en­ joyed less restriction than ever before. * Plantln laid hte success to honesty and hard work. Commentators on hte life, however, claim that natural In­ telligence and shrewdness were in­ strumental in shaping hte career. The Intelligent way in which he con­ ducted his establishment combined with hte love of literature won for him the confidence and friendship of many noted scholars. Without the cooperation of these learned men he could never have edited texts of such recognised authority. Natural shrewd­ ness and a cool business head kept him from succumbing to dishonest and cut­ throat competition. Although he left no literary works under hte own name he will continue to be known as an un­ usual and interesting personality through lhe medium of hte establish­ ment that he loved so well and which, happily, te now preservd from further alteration as s museum.

IMt Just A Cab - Feit. That Appear! To Be the Attitude of the Western U. S. Senators, Pretended Friends of the Farmer A more lUnging rebuke to the west­ ern senators, who have blocked the passage of a tariff bill, could not have been delivered than Hut which was given them by representatives of farm organisations which can be fairly as­ sumed to speak for the 2,000,000 far­ mers of lhe slates of Minnesota, Mon­ tana, North and South Dakota, Ill­ inois and Wisconsin. ' Largely at the behest of Senator Bor­ ah, who represented the west and as­ sumed to speak for its people, Presi­ dent Hoover, against hi* own better judgment, called a special session ot congress which convened about six weeks after the President was Inaugur­ ated. Tiie call issued by the President re­ quested two specific things of this special session: One was the enact­ ment of a farm relief bill; the other was the passing of a tariff bill, which would raise duties on farm products, so aa to put farming on an equality with the other industries of this country. The house of representatives prompt­ ly got busy soon after the special ses­ sion was convened and passed lhe farm relief bill in accord with the principles suggested by President Hoo­ ver and advocated by him in his cam­ paign. Before thc special session, and In Its earlier weeks, the house com­ mittee considered changes to be made in the tariff regulations that ’ would benefit the farming industry. The new tariff bill was passed by the house by an overwhelming majority early in June. Then the matter was up to the senate. Western senators Immediate­ ly began a talk-fest. They did fi­ nally manage to put across the farm re­ lief bill. Incorporating with it provis­ Ions that they knew the house would not sanction and that the President would veto If they passed them. Still with that folly for which they have shown such aptitude, the senate passed their kind of a farm relief bill. It was then sent to a conference committee who fooled along with It for some lime until the house made It plain that they would never concur in the changes which lhe senate had made in amend­ ing the bill. Finally, but not grace­ fully. the senate backed down and ac­ cepted the bill substantially as it pasaad the house, so that much waa done. But when It came to amendng lhe house’tariff bill so as to favor the farming Industry, there began another exhibition on the part of lhe senate of “how not to do it." They ran off into all sorts of side Issues, started several investigations, talked aimlessly, kept on talking until congress con­ vened in regular session In December, were still talking at the time of ad­ journing for the holiday recess. Yet these same western senators claim to be the devoted friends of the farmer. You would think to hear them that no interest is quite so dear to their hearts as the welfare of agriculture: yet they have spent the belter part of a year In doing nothing about it except gab. gab, gab. It was not to be wondered at, there­ fore that, getting tried of this nauseat­ ing delay and cheap talk on the part of their pretended friends in the sen­ ate. the farm organization leaders, who represent 2.000,000 farmers, at last put a page advertisement in the Washing­ ton Post and in the New York Times, calling specific attention to the fact that relief had been promised a year ago. The senate had been in session for three-fourths of a year and yet no tariff bill had been enacted. Following this the Minneapolis Trib­ une, a staunch newspaper of very high type, itself bought and paid for two pages of advertising published in the !*ame two papers, calling upon thc senate to do something for the farmere and not just talk about it. Tiie publication of these two adver­ tisements has stirred things up a bit in Washington. It may be tiiat we shall now see some action taken by the senate that will show some disposition to meet the pledge made by both par­ ties in the election of 1928 for farm relief through the tariff; and we may get something. Let us hope so. The spectacle of these western senaI torlal gabbers filling the senate cham­ ' ber with their vapid hot air, delaying for nearly a year such action as ought । not to have taken more than three months at the outside, will not Impress the country with the sincerity and good sense of these Western members of the senate, who are responsible for this unnecessary delay, and who claim to be the special friends of the farmer.

MELLON Secretary of the Treasury Forecasting the future course of business can never be done with any certainty that It will be borne out by subsequent events. No one can fully appraise Uie complex forces which are always at work and it is hazardous to attempt doing so. I see nothing, however, in the present situation that is either menac­ ing or warrants pessimism. During the winter months there may be some slackness or unemployment, but hardly more than is usual at this season each year. I have every confidence that there will be a revival of acUvtty in the spring and that during lhe coming year the country will make steady progress. In the credit situation the trend of money rates is downward. There is plenty of credit available and we have reason to expect that the rates for new capital tn building construction and expansion will besuch as to facilitate the promotion and accomplishment of new under­ takings. Statements from the executives of railroads, public utility and in­ dustrial concerns during lhe president's recent conference were, almost without excepUon. to the effect that their expenditures for new con­ struction and expansion in 1030 will be as much or more than in 1939. The government's finances are in a sound condition, which warrants the cut in taxes, and the government itself is in a position to do its part in helping the country to meet and solve the problems which are ahead.

IMO There’s Money In Properly Conducted Dairying * * In Good Times and Bad! Nearly A Quarter Million Dollars Paid to Barry Farmers in 1929 by This Company About 300 good money making milk Cows put into this County by us during 1929. Reduction in the present price of milk is beyond our control ... it is caused by a SURPLUS of DAIRY PRODUCTS! There are approximately 30,000,000 LBS. SURPLUS BUTTER ON THE MARKET! If 5,000,000 Farmers would use 1 extra pound of butter per week for 6 weeks, that' surplus would be wiped out! Don’t produce more milk when the price is low . . . PRODUCE the SAME AMOUNT OF MILK from FEWER COWS . . . that cuts ddwn the cost of production ! This Is a Splendid Time To .... Veal the Calves . . . Discard the Scrubs . . . Feed With Care , . . Use a Pure Bred Sire .. . . Eat More Butter I Here Are A Few Outstanding Benefits Of This Company To Barry County Farmers: During the past 12 years we have paid them about $3,000,000 for milk. During the past four years we have put 1100 good milk cows on Barry County farms. We have supplied a steady permanent market for Barjy County milk ■ through hard times as well as good times. What of the Future ? 1930 Is Up To You! By the united efforts of the farmers and dairymen, and with our co-operation as in the past, Barry County will become one of the BEST DAIRYING COUN­ TIES in the STATE, with good dairy farms worth from $200.00 to $250.00 per acre! ■ Buckle your belt a little tighter and resolve that 1930 shall see a careful'check-up on every’ cow of your herd, so you may know if SHE IS PAYING YOU MONEY, or is just a “STAR BOARDER,’’ living at the expense of the other Cows. MAKE HER INTO BEEF .AND GET A COW THAT PAYS ... IF SHE IS BOARD­ ING ON YOU! Our experience and advice are at your disposal in helping you solve any of your dairy problems.

The invasion ot the American movie Is a favorite sob­ story for all London newspapers. Famous old play houses are being more and more transformed into Talkie Palaces”—but people like them, and their prosperity grows apace. In fact, play going is a popular pastime here. One sees people lined up at all the theatres or sitting on little stools the management provides, waiting for the opening of the box office for the sale of the cheaper seats. We have seen two first rate plays— "The First Mrs Fraser" by St. John Irvine, a society play with clever lines and amusing situations, by a splendid cast. It's a part that I am sure may fall to Ethel Barrymore If it's brought across to America. It would fit her like a glove. It is in its 210th perform­ ance here. Tire other play wm "Mur­ der on the Second Floor" a mystery play with a very good plot and a unique one. It wm the first play the King has seen since his illness.

There are so many interesting things to tell about London and what we have been doing it's hard to even give the briefest outline. One of lhe first things we did of course was to see the guards change at St. James Palace. Thc King and Queen are spending ChristmM at Sandringham so we didn't go to Buckingham, but to the Prince of Wales' London residence, which Celestia says really offers the more picturesque background of thc two, because of its court Inclosed on Superbly beautiful three sides and cosily viewed from the furniture — genuine street and sidawalk.

It hu a very love­ ly but simple interior, in fact. I think it's my ideal church. It's very old like most London churches. There wm a fine choir of men. The service had very little form, and save for the prayers for the Royal family might have been given in any Protestant Episcopal church at home. A big ChristmM tree covered with lights and toys stood by the pulpit In the nave with a duplicate on the stately old porch of the church outside. Canon Elliot, a young man with a fine voice and winning personality, preached a Christmas sermon that would have been enjoyed in any church In America. He spoke without notes. He said he didn't wish to preach a sermon this particular Sunday, but Just wanted to give “a sort of Christmwy message" and Mked with a smile —"How could anyone possibly deliver anything but a ChrlstmMy message, standing so close to such a Jolly Christ­ mM tree?” It wm a simple straight­ forward appeal for more kindliness and friendliness in the world, more for­ bearance, and forgiveness of wrongs and grievances which would bring the true ChristmM spirit into our hearts and homes, and of course he couldn't help but quote Dickens and the "ChristmM carol" when he dosed. A friendly woman had given me a prayer book as soon as I sat down. The congregation sang Charles Wesley's .lovely ChristmM hymn “Come Thou Long Expected*Jesus" and "Once in Royal David's Olty." both in our hymn bodks at home. A warder or official bowed and smiled as we passed out It wm a kindly, cordial atmosphere In this historic old church, whgre conservatism and reserve might be more readily expected. We were all impressed most pleasantly and didn't feel at all like aliens or strangers. We would like to return for another service, but with our limited time and the fascinating list of many noted churches in London Town. I fear we cannot. This is all I can write this lime, but I hope to continue with another letter in a day or two, and not let events get so far ahead of me.

Inserted carefully in those bocks are the prescription formulas which the local physician* have written and the druggist has dispensed—often for a generation or more back. In a language eloquent to those who can interpret their somewhat hieroglyphic characters, these old pre* •enption files tell of many a crisis in the lives of the people of the cooflhunity, from childhood lo old age, and they often bear silent testimony to devoted service in the hour of emergency by physician and pharmacist. While the Prescription Druggist must often combine the duties of merchant and professional man in order to maintain his pharmacy, his chief pride is in the work be does back of his prescription counter, surrounded by medicinal agentsgathered from all quarters of the globe to combat disease and promote the health of mankind. -MERCK For Prescriptions — Physicians pre­ scribe and Druggists dispense the pure products of Merck’s laboratories.

However, we always things: worked together in good faith and Take the Hastings Center rood. I good feeling on any program which the understand that one of the outstanding majority of the commission believed to criticisms directed at lhe county road be wise. I want to say right here that commission Is that they pro|x»cd to when the board of supervisors let Mr. carry thc - Hastings ------ jg—----*-------J straight Center road Carlisle step off the commission they across a swamp, from the present east­ \pst, in my Judgment, the best-posted ern terminus of lhat road where it Jogs to the north, and to bridge Fall creek In doing fw Why should not the com­ mission pi’n that way? The original petition tor this road called for that very thing. Tiie original action taken by the board of supervisors themselves directed that it be built straight across the swamp and across Pall creek to a Junction with tiie State Road. And yet one would infer, from the stale­ menu of some members ot the board, that the commission had done some dreadful thing in planning to go straight across thc swamp and across Fall creek, when Ute original petition called for It and the board of super­ visors had themselves authorized it. It can be seen that in this matter the commission is being criticised for some­ thing tor which they are not to blame. You save in buying and in using Furthermore, no road commission in Barry county or in any other county. In my Judgment, would have them­ selves authorized thc construction of two county roads in Hastings township a mile opart. If we were to continue that kind of road work in Barry coun­ ty. and the people were expected to pay for It. instead of having ultimately a system or 25 miles to each township wc would have 60 miles to the town­ ship at least, which would be 960 miles for the county to build and maintain instead of the present 200 miles. I con­ sider that-'unreasonable; yet the.respon­ sibility for such a possible situation rests with Ute board of supervisors themselves. Take another matter, which was settled while I was a member of the board. The road program for 1929 which thc commission adopted for it­ self would have called for $18,810 of county road bonds to build about two miles of road In Rutland township to complete the south river road to Mid­ dleville. It also called for about seven and one-half miles of county road in the township of Irving, which has MILLIONS OF POUNDS been constructed this year at a cost of $97,695. making a total proposed USED BY OUR GOVERNMENT construction of a little over $116500.

FKBKVABY S. 19M SUPERVISORS ACi| CEPT RESIBIUTKM Frandsen’s---- “where the Customer must be Satisfied”----- Frandsen’s (Continual from page on#) even if all who go to the polls shall vote on the question of continuing ■ county extension work. Many who go will not care to vote on this matter. They will think it is up to the super­ visors and lel them settle it. That is our Judgment of how the people of Barry county will act on this;! matter, which is very Important to them. What is It alt about anyway? What]I ' does the county raise by tax for ex­ tension servtee? Il raises only one-, fourth of one mill to carry on exten- l slon work. Thgl means that one who I is assessed for 11.000 will pay 25 cents. I Thc man who is assessed for $4,000 will;I pay 8100. The dty of Hastings will I Ky one-fourth. All Hastings will gain;I it will be whatever benefit it will be I to the farmers. Yet we believe the!I majority of the people of this city will j I favor continuing extension work. There are very few counties In the I state of Michigan that have more to I - gain from the benefits of extension I work than has Barry. Unless some* I thing is done In an Intelligent way and I some organized effort is made all the I time to encourage the development ofil certain sections of this county, the vatue'l of properly In some townshipa will fur-'I ther decline. There are some townships/ In Barry county that ought to be de- |i voting a lol of attention to reforesta-;I tion. Under County Agent Rood a I eplcndld start has been made in that" I ’pflrcctlon. It needs to be followed up. Il But it will not be if this county aban-J| dons extension work. There are other.I parts of Barry county that ought to be I devoted to grape culture. There are in I Barry county large districts where I grapes could be grown as successfully I as In Van Buren county. It needs JI someone to lead off in that matter. I There are other areas that are expect-JII ally adapted to growing certain crops. I or carrying on different types of agri- I cultural work, but unless something I is done to stir up interest in such I projects no move will be made towards,! such development. There are thou- I sands of acres In Barry county, par- I ticularly In the west and south parts I of It. that will go back and become of I less and less value unless there is I someone to encourage the growing of I such crops as those particular lands I are adapted for. The loss of taxes I from abandoned farms would soon bring I the county's tax'rate higher than it I would be lo take care of the quarter I of a mill tax we have been paying for I extension work. The cost to the county I Is so very small that an attempt to I save money by dropping a quarter of a I mill from the county tax seems ridlc- II pious, In order to knew just what the sup-! port of a county agent and county club worker means to the average farm­ er of Barry county we will take an average farm, which we will Consider I io be 80 acres, and the average assessinent at MO an acre. That means 13.200 asseMinent. Twenty-five cents I on the SI,000 would mean tliat the owner of that average 80 acres would pay .87 1-2 cents to continue workers on the Job doing the same work as Mr. Rood has been doing for several years and continuing Miss Boyle In her I work as county club agent, which she has been carrying on for over two years. Miss Boyle ha;.been very success fuLand her record Is outstanding. She has I interested over 550 boys und girls In club activities and they are at II now. She has Interested something over 400 I women In club activities and they arc at it now. That means that a thou- I sand people have had their attention directed toward things that are of value to thein. and will always be of value lo them* by having a club worker on I the Job. If Barry county votes against I extension work that kind of work will be ended. That work will cease because the government will not continue to I 'pay Its share, nor the state its share, nor the college to furnish the services of its experts for that type of work unless we have and support extension service. We sincerely hope that the good Judgment of tlie people of Barry county will be exercised in this matter. If it is. there can be no doubt that the county will continue its county agent and the county club worker, who are I such useful factors In/the life of tills I ' county. If that kind of work shall be I abandoned, thc drop in real estate values in Barry county will be more I pronounced in thc future that it has I been In the past. As Dean Davenport ] said in his communication to the Ban- I ner. In which he urged the continua- I tion of extension work: “If it were I dropped for a year of two not such a I great deal of difference would be no- I tlced. But in five years or such a I matter, Barry county would show it is I lagging behind neighboring counties." I Dean Davenport is asnan whose Judg- I inent can well be taken In this matter. I For ovet thirty years he was at the I head of agricultural extension work hi I the state of Illinois, where so much has I been accomplished by extension work- I ers for thc benefit of that state. Farm- I Ing will be more apt to be profitable I the more farmers know what the sclen- I tlfic men engaged in extension work I reconnnend tn handling a farm. We I doubt if the farms of Barry county I have readied such a high state of de- I velopmcnt that-their owners can afford I lo say that they do not want, or do I not care, for the knowledge which the I specialists in the national department I of agriculture and in Die state college I can bring to them in carrying on farm I work. I A local woman who thought her hus­ band wasn't attentive enough tried the old schemer-of arpuslng his Interest again by pretending to Interest herself in another man. But she says that in­ stead of again lavishing looks of love upon her the husband began to cast looks of pity on the other fellow.

I According to that law. the matters I taken into consideration in fixing thc I1 amount of help tn be given to any dis­ trict are many. First is considered the T amount of property in the district sub11 Ject to school tax. In some ot thc 11 northern counties the assessed valuaI' tion of all the property within many I districts is so small that the tax burden I on the people living in those districts I1 is oppressive. Insurances are on record I showing that to maintain a'school in I (some of the sparsely settled districts if L northern Michigan, where the land Is I poor and incomes very small, the school I tax is as high as six or seven per cent. I In other districts it runs three and I i four-per cent, which is an oppressive> I1 school tax. There are many districtsi where that tax will run about two per• Ijuer cent: and the number where It is। I between one and two per cent is quite! I1 large in this state. I Thc Turner bill proposes that a ccr-I1 tain sum from the general fund of the■ I! state, not to exceed $2,000,000 in any one■ I year as we understand It. will be dlvldI ed among these school districts where■ the school tax Ls $10 or more on th-■ I! $1,000 of assessed valuation. I In fixing thc rate, which is left with। I I’M state superintendent of public in­ I 'traction, several factors arc taken into। I consideration, one of them being the■ 1I rate of school tnx, especially If’ it is< $10.00 on the $1,000. or above that. An­ other is tlie amount, of property asses­ sed within the district. Thc smaller the total assessment the relatively I larger will be the percentage of help I that will be given io thc district. An­ other matter considered is the number 'of pupils in thc district who attend ; ‘chooL ' Word from Lansing "states there wir be appropriated this year under thprovisions of thc Turner act $1.978260 ' prior to tire close of the fiscal year which ends June 30 next. This money lit In addition to the more than $20,000.ooo given the school districts annually from the primary school fund. Dis­ tricts liavlng a school tax in excess of $10.00 per $1,000 on assessed valuation are eligible to participate in this fund under the Turner law. Under this law Barry county will re­ ceive $5,530. Eaton county $5,782. It will help very much in some northern ciuntles.

Another cry Is that (he industry is always asking higher rates, when the fact is that every utility executive worth his salt is bending every ener­ gy toward lower rates, because lower I rates mean greater consumption, and ' greater consumption is their hope of I Our wide experience, gained through yeArs of careful study, anti the ?quip- -•-A—-thorough—undoF— standing of our/profession and a kindly per­ sonal interest in those we sen e tire recogn.ized by those who employ Funeral Service Hastings Michigan ’ We believe a prosperous farmer or merchant is an asset to the community; we believe that a well stocked compjete lumber yard is an asset to. the town and surrounding country, we also believe that we have as complete a stock of Lumber and Building Materials as any lumber yard in any city in Michigan up to fifty thousand population, and that we can, and do render the public a real expert service, a service not usually rendered through a retail yard, in helping to plan your buildings, and then to draw for you working plans from which the building is to be built. ■-.■JTWT- VOiCfTtseir fitTIereTtse'drpiffine uUlltira .

I I ' Only one passenger was at the office —a young lady from California. An­ other lady had made a reservation but evidently overslept. The waiting-room at the Airway's office resembled that of an up-to-date depot. At one desk you can arrange bookings to any Important city in Europe, even to Egypt or In­ dia. A notice on the wall told of plans now under way to extend mall and pas­ senger service to Australia, and so bring this important dominion 18 days nearer to London. Another project will connect with air-lines Ln China. I / noticed, however, that certain "reser­ vations" are made when connections with other airways are Involved. Over Imperial Airway routes the Company guarantees to "get you there" or re­ fund the money. When transfers to .other lines are necessary, however, a phrase similar to the one so familiar in bond sales literature 1* used, viz:—"We do not guarantee these schedules, but to the best of our knowledge they are correct." If an Imperial Airway plane Is delayed the Company refund* money at once; if a plane Is forced down en­ route, the jiassengers receive an equiva­ lent of thc air mileage lost. The auto trip from London to Croy­ don was the dullest part of the whole journey. I was anxious to get going, but a train or a lumbering truck always seemed to be directly in front nolding us up. We started for the atfport just at dawn, and the Thames embankment was a symphony in soft shades of blue, punctured by orange points of light.

POPULARITY •held by Goodyear Tires 'p HE single record that, in our opinion, really counts with.careful tire-buyers is the popularity record ■which Goodyear has held for fifteen years: “More peo­ ple ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind.’’ It simply says that an overwhelming percentage of your fellow-motorists get the most value and every-day satiafttction out of Goodyear Tires. The reason, of course, is that Goodyyear builds nearly one-third of all tires sold in America, enjoys lowest costs, can give greater values.

They knew that the temptation* of un­ limited power are too great to be restat­ ed. and that the human instinct most dangerou* to humanity I* to dominate, oppress and exploit otnar*. to the demand for the Increase of powers of government which la the most outstanding phase of politics the world over, is expressed, a* Nletache said, the atavistic craving for despo­ tism.

The Fascism of Italy, lhe Bolshevism of Russia arc expression* of the loss of faith In thc virtue of self-government. And in IhU republic, even, the air Is filled with thc demand for the surren­ der of Individual freedom to political despotism. There Is no essential difference be­ tween the radical of the bolshevlst type who would centralise power In the state through the abolition of tne in­ stitution of private property, making tile nation a gigantic poorhouse and prison, and that of International fi­ nancier* who would destroy thc Iden­ tity of nation* and place lhe control of the world in the hand* of a small economic group. The proposal of Ed­ ward N. Hurley for the control of the world** resources by a few corporations and industrial leaders is an expression of the same spirit which animated the communist or radical socialist who would extirpate Individualism. It Is assumed that In thc surrender of individual and national independ­ ence beneficent ends would be served. So wc might believe If we did not know that the masses cannot safely commit their destinies to desjioUsm in the be­ lief that It will be benevolently exer­ cised. The world has produced only one Oeorge Washington, he who, offered a crown, refused It. did not neck the Pres­ idency and retired from that great office voluntarily, glad to go back to thc jieace of Mount Vernon.

Have you ever been awakened in the morning by the noise of a hundred chirping sparrows breakfasting off the red berries on a mountain ash tree? The noise is cheerful, if not musical, and they seem to be holding a thanks­ giving service out of purt enjoyment and passing a vote of thanks. They are not worrying about future supplies of berries and seem utterly oblivious o! where the berries came from or how nature supplied them- They remind us of professional political agitators who hold noisy meetings, discuss in­ dustries and condemn private enter­ prise. Such agitators have as little conception of the sources from which employment and dally bread and but­ ter flow, as have the sparrows of their supply of berries. Nature supplies lhe sparrows with the berries Just as stored capital and experienced brains plan industries and make employment pos­ sible. The berries must grow and ripen in spite of the elements and the handicaps with which they have to contend. Industries must grow and furnish employment In spite of the political handicaps with which they constantly have to contend. The sparrows and the agitators enjoy mak­ ing the big noise and eating the berries which they do not provide. It takes more brains to r>lse berries than to eat I them. ACCIDENTS OF MENTAL ORIGIN. Ninety per cent of aoCldenta are of mental origin, according to Dr. Harold S. Hulbert of the Department of Men­ tal and Nervous Diseases, University of Illinois. In an address before the National Safety Council. Dr. Hulbert explained that these accidents are the result not of Insanity or mental incompetence, but of thoughtlessness or carelessness. This authority says that a person who Is comfortable in mind and body, adjusted to his working and domestic life, and is not ill, perplexed and dis­ contented or fatigued stands but a small chance ot becoming the causative factor In an accident. On the other hand, anger, fatigue, surprise and oth­ er such factors are the causes of many accidents says Dr. Hulbert. We cannot, of course, cure such emo­ tional disturbances as anger and sur­ prise, nor can we offset fatigue, but the public should understand these causes of accidents and guard against them. A worker who grows tired should be­ come more careful because of-it. An automobile driver who is suffering from some .slight Illness should watch his driving more carefully than when he is In good health. Once we manage to exert some control over the “mental haiard." our accident record will begin t<? decrease. OIL IN 1910. Tlie present year may prove to be a dangerous one for the oil Industry, ac­ cording to thc Lamp, published by thc Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. The Industry has entered 1930 with a very large increase In surplus stocks of oil products. Yet no one forecasts an Increase In consumption great enough to absorb tills supply. The re­ sult, if the nation continues to produce and Import crude on present schedules, will be a trmendous excess that must ba stored or wasted. —-------------------It is an error, sayj the Lamp, to be lieve that the oil Industry's problems have been solved by curtailment of crude production. This Is but half the remedy. Thc most important part must be to reduce thc run ot crude to refineries to the point where there will be no undue increase In oil products. At present, consumption of oil is more or less stabilised. It cannot Incrcau? many fold In a short tone as It did in past years. Efficient producUon inut-t be obtained by adjusting supply to dcmandr • Professor Oeborp. noted scientist, says that man la fifty million years old and is no kin of thc ape.

A man who has had wide experience I in dealing with criminal practices of all 'types was recently quoted as saying that “one of the rarest specimens in - the world Is a criminal who U thrifty and I think W per eent ot the peo. pie who are thrifty never become en­ tangled with the criminal law.". This is indeed a timely observation l when so much thought Is being given to the subject of crime in America. Opinions may differ as to the cause of the present widespread practice of crime and opinions likewise kill differ as to the remedies. Il is fiot the pur­ pose of Uils article to set forth the as­ sumption that thrift Is a cure-all for this great social disease. There is. in fact, no single specific, but thrift surely is among lhe remedies that might be offered as helpful. > There may be many individual ex­ ceptions to the rule but in the vast majority of cases a man who really Is thrifty does not Indulge In criminal practices. By thrift wc do not mean merely getting ahead financially: we mean thc thrift of crcdltaoic personal progress and honest success. The average man <Jf thrift has learned the lesson that rightful progress comes on­ ly through slow, steady accumulation of material resources, thc sensible em­ ployment of time and energy and a constant effort at self impovement. In­ to such a plan of progress, criminal practices are not llkily to intrude. It also is lb be remembered that many a criminal took bls first down­ ward step when driven to desperation through extravagant habits. Any Jurist of experiences will tell you that a con­ siderable percentage of lhe criminal cases brought before him may be in­ cluded in this classification. It cannot be said that thrift is the only cure for crime. Yet, if every per­ son in this country above the age of childhood were to become habitually | thrifty it would seem a safe statement to make that under such conditions there would be far less crime In the United States than is the case today. -By S.

Investi­ gation proves that .one of every five shovelsful of fuel goes to heat the water in your furnace coil and so ia wasted from your heating system. That’s something to think about. And, too, when your furnace fire is low or out—no hot water. Not ao good, either. To prevent this enormous waste, engineers have developed a new gas water heater that gives constant hot water at low cost. This heater can use only a small amount of gas and being built like a thermos bottle, it can’t leak heat. It banishes the old wasteful furnace coil forever.

Then they carried Black, tits wife, daughter and mother to that city by auto. ■ . Black and his three brothers bought some onion land along Gug River, west of Orangeville, about a year ago, paid a little down, and then proceeded co do nothing. Officers say tliat they spent most of their time in drinxing. gamb­ ling and carousing. Two of tlie broth­ ers broke out of the Wayland jail, anu left. About a month ago another brother was taken out of .the state. The recent action of the Allegan officers cleans out lhe last remnant, for which the people living in that section are not expected to shed very copious tears. Allegan county hu spent a consid­ erable sum in aiding them with no appreciable benefit, Mid finally In com­ pliance with Qjf law. took them back where they came from. SCHOOL REPORT.

Feb. 10.—All previous Fanners-Week attendance records were sunk without a trace by the tides of visitors which surged about the Michler —n C —» — ZCollege — gan Stale campus last week. Eight thousand people watched the events on lhe general program at the Thursday evening meeting and one thousand guests attended the Farm Bureau banquet at the same lime. Dairy breed association meetings on Monday brought larger groups than usual to these special meetings and the banquets given by the associations had to be conducted under special rules to take care of the .overflow which could not get Into the regular banquet rooms. No partiality was shown by the guests of the College for any one at­ traction. The only complaint heard was that the number of shows, ex­ hibits. and meetings was so great that it was impossible to see and hear everything on the program. The State Farm Bureau decided to hold their annual meeting preceding Farmers Week next year to avoid thc crowded conditions which they found this year. They will meet at the Col­ lege during November. CONSEQUENCES OR BENEFITS. 1 The tariff is one of the factors that • make the wheels of Industry go around.

Snow and Ice on the ground and on lakes and running streams cuts off the supply ot natural food and water from the wing­ ed and four-footed denizens of thc great world and causes incalculable suffering. . It is a kind and generous act to make food and water avallible to creatures deprived of It by winter weather. Ed­ itors have prevented much suffering by bringing thlA matter to public atten­ tion and every family will derive pleasure and satisfaction by aiding in the humane cause. SOUTH THORNAFFLE.

For the Ford Motor Company believes that its full duly is not only to make a good automobile at lhe lowest possible price, but to see that there is no waste, extravagance, or undue profit in any transaction from the time the car leaves the factory until it is delivered to your home. It is obvious tjiat hard-won savings in production will be of little value if they arc sacrificed later through excessive selling costs. • EvERY purchaser of a motor car has the right to know how much of thc money he pays is for tlie car itself and how much is lukeu up by dealer charges. If these charges are too high, one of two things must happen. Either the price of the car must be raised or thc quality lowered. There is no other way. The money Safety time more profitably in other lines. Tlie motion was carried, a motion was made and seconded that we adjourn. The entertainment was furnished by a few member* of the club.

Tlie difference, ranging from 25% to nearly 50%, comes right off the price you pay for the car. The business of the Ford dealer is good because he makes a small profit on u large number of sales instead of a large {profit on fewer sales. He knows, loo, tliat the extra dollur-for-dollar value of the car makes it easier to sell and more certain Io give satisfactory service after purchase. Consider also that the Ford car is delivered Io lhe purchaser equipped with a Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, an extra steel-spoke wheel, and bright, enduring Rustless Steel for many exterior metal parts, in addition to four Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers aud fully enclosed fourwheel brakes. If for any reason you wish to buy certain small accessories, you will find that t|icse, too, are sold at the usual Ford low prices. Replacement parts are also available at low prices through Ford dealers in every section of the country. saving of at least 850 to’ $75 to every purchaser in These addition to thc still greater savings made possible by economies in manufacturing.

Their extensiv-j knowledge of eight­ cylinder engii.es has resulted in a car of remarkably sound basic design, as well as one which has many advanced features. H Its 8s-horsepower engine deve'ops one horsepower for every 37 pounds of car weight. This explains why few cars are os fast—why few, if any, can climb hills so quickly or accelerate so swiftly In traffic. Those who have driven it know how wall It marils the description, the cor w.th Supe­ rior performance." (TThe New Oakland's power plant is alio exceptionally rmoofh. Its inherent eight-cylinder smoothness has been increased by a complete down-draft fuel system—new type cylinder heads insuring uniform com­ bustion-laminated steel spring and rubber engine mountings. 5 Considering Its superior performance, exceptional smoothness and the beauty of its new Fisher bodies, the New Oakland Eight Is very moderately priced.

Rules for bathing In the Benedictine monasteries of ths Fourteenth century have been discovered at London, Eng­ land, to the regulations of Sb Augus­ tine’s, Canterbury and St. Peter’s, Westminster. Monks were allowed to take baths twice a year—before Christmas and Pentecost. Previous to the Fourteenth century, four baths were allowed an­ nually. but this number was cut In half because bathing was considered a luxury except when necessary, for the sick. Only four monks could bnthe In one day, so It took more than two weeks to accommodate the sixty monks In the monastery. No baths were allowed on Bunday. The monks had servants to wash them. At Westminster these servants received extra food and beer on "bath days" TheJiaths were taken sitting In a tub. Instead of standing, as was prob­ ably the secular custom at lhe time. Monks were not allowed to stay In the baths to "souk" after they had been washed. Af first' bathing was conducted In complete silence, but “that good cus­ tom hks been entirely abandoned In these mali'm times" of thc Fourteenth century.

Hastings and Olivet ore torplay the varsity game, which promises to be a good, snappy battle. Olivet has a fine lot of lads on the squad, who play ex­ cellent basket ball. As a preliminary, Middleville will play Woodland, the two schools being strong rivals. Due to athletic misun­ derstandings between the schools, they have not played each other this year, nor can they clash in the tournament as they are in different classes. So the Saturday night contest gives promise of being a hot and furious one. as they win not come together again this sea­ son. Hastings residents remember the keen rivalry with Charlotte for many years past, so can readily understand the feeling between Middleville and Woodland. Nick Beam of Battle Creek will officiate at the games. An Inter­ esting time Is in store for all who at­ tend Saturday night. ' MISS MOON, THB DIMOTOB, HIGHLY COMMENDS LOCAL FIRE CH EF MAKES REPORT FOR 1929 $2,286,402 IN JANUARY Ordinarily very little canvassing for insurance is done by the agents of the Windstorm Company of this city dur­ ing January. The weather is usually so unfavorable that soliciting insurance is about the last thing one would think of. But despite the handicaps of bad weather and Impassable roads the agents of the Windstorm Company add­ ed S2.2M.402 worth of new insurance for the company last month. That is a fine record for January, and indi­ cates that the agents of the company are on their toes, so that when the weather is favorable they will make a large showing. The Windstorm Company deserves all the success that Is coming their way. Last year they added over $37,000,000 to the amount of insurance in force, 'rhe way the agents have started out in January this year, when usually almost no insurance is written, is an indication that the representatives of the com­ pany are going to do a good stroke of business in 1830. The company wound up the year 1929 with over $452,000,000 Insurance on its books, making it one of the financial giants of the country In its class. WhUe it looks as if it would be too much to expect them to reach the half billion mark this year, the agents propose.to do a good Job of trying for It and may succeed. It is certain that they will Increase the vol­ ume in force by a good margin. The work of the agents is made easier be­ cause of the fine record of the com­ pany for taking care of losses prompt­ ly and satisfactorily, and because the company starts out the new year with considerably over $368,000 cash in the bank with which to meet its losses. ------------- house here before Commissioner Gib­ TALENT IN THB FLAY bons of Lansing, representing the State Department of Labor and Industry.

A special section will be found devoted entirely to motor cars and allied industries, containing also the announcements of the vari­ ous manufacturers of motor cars, as well as those of dealers. Pictures of many of the new 1930 models will be seen, accompanied by in­ teresting and instructive articles concerning the different cars. A full page announcement of the Auto Show Week will be found on page 8 of this special auto section. The readers of the Banner are urged to give some attention to this automobile section and make a special effort to visit the several show rooms during the week and see these fine dis­ plays.

As a boy I knew him and listened to hfs forceful discussion of political issues. When I came to Hastings in 1895. Mr. Colgrove already had an extensive and well es­ tablished business. He was then prac­ ticing alone. Judge Smith, with whom he had been associated before that time for many years, had gone upon tlie bench in 1891. During 23 years of intimate association In the office and In the trial of cases. I grew to know Mr. Colgrove as well perhaps as it is possible for on.e man to know another. He was a multl-slded man. Interested in his younger days In athletics, he possessed a splendid physique, domi­ nating persona'lty. matchless eloquence and a sentiment of sympathy which made him sought by those men and causes needing strong championship. His tact with Juries was intuitive. His energy almost unbounded. He was in­ terested in farming, in banking, in manufacturing, in building, in business, in fraternal work, in public service, in civic affairs as well as in the practice This fine 15J Garland movement fit- dj EA of law.

Educated in the public schools at Charlotte and In Olivet College, he studied law in Eaton Rapids and was admitted to the bar of Michigan April 17, 1879, his 21st birthday. Soon there­ after, with his brother-in-law. Ransom Cooper, he began practice In Reed City under the name of Cooper & colgrove. In the early 80's he came to Barry county and formed’an association with Honorable Clement Smith, which* con­ tinued for several years. He was elect­ ed Prosecuting Attorney In 1882 and served In that capacity until 1889 when four malkr Amrwirli in he became a member of the Michigan shanks. Priced M Bute Senate.

He was chcsen by the National Committee of his party to accompany Roosevelt through Michigan, and to follow Bryan through Missouri and in the west. He early became an advocate of good roads, and read, wrote, talked and act­ ed for good roads tor the 25 years dur­ ing which he was president of the Michigan State Good Roads Associa­ tion. When he first took up the ad­ vocacy of good mads, the subject was unpopular. Tn a large measure he di­ rected the creation of public sentiment friendly to the cause. He it was who superintended the preparation of the constitutional amendment of 1919 au­ thorizing a bond Issue of fifty million dollars, the proceeds of which were to be devoted to highway construction. He managed the campaign on the sub­ mission of the proposed amendment and the result of Its adoption by the largest majority ever given a proposi­ tion submitted to referendum in this state up to that time, was peculiarly ^ratifying to him. When the Dixie Highway was pro­ jected. Chicago was to be its northern terminus. Michigan's claims were not considered. Finally. Mr. Colgrove took the floor and by his eloquent and force­ ful presentation of the scenic beauty and recreational advantages of his home state, he converted the assembly, brought the Dixie highway io Michi­ gan. was elected a director of the as­ sociation and lived to see this great national highway completed and paved from Michigan to Miami. He prepared the Covert Law under which improved highways may be । built and the cost and expense thereof defrayed by special assessment upon the lands benefitled. He spent many hours of counsel in the preparation of later highway laws, and it may be said that under his leadership. Michigan, by its constitution and laws, laid the . foundation of a highway s>*stem second to that of no other state. A man of such tremendous energy, diversified undertakings, and outstand­ Ing talents, with a genius for organi- . zation and of persuasive eloquence could not fall to influence his associates and the current of public affairs Though he may have had enemies, they never beguiled themselves in under­ estimating his ability and foresight. Awav from here, the fact that men , speak of Hastings as “Phil Colgrove'/: town." shows that In the public mind throughout the state, he who has . passed from us. was through the years, regarded os the outstanding man of ' this community. He has gone. . "So fades a summer cloud away; . So sinks the gale when the storms Bo gently shuts the eve of day; So dies a wave along lhe shore." The following poem was found after Mr. Colgrove's decease in his pocket book. It gave evidence of having been carried for some time, and was evi­ dently something ho greatly cherished. It will show how he faced the thought of death. Tlie poem reads: "Some time at eve when the tide is low. I shall slip my moorings and sail away With no response to a friendly hail. In the silent hush of the twilight pale. When the night steps down to embrace the day And the voices call in the water's Some time at eve when the water is low. I shall slip my moorings and sail Through the purple shadows that dark-' ly trail O'er the ebbing tide of the unknown And a ripple of waters to tell the tale Of u lonely voyager, sailing, away To mystic Isles, where at anchor lay The craft of those who have sailed before. O'er the unknown sea to the unknown shore. * A few who have watched me sail Will miss my craft from the busy bay; Some friendly barks that were an­ chored near.

FEBRUARY 19, IBM PEOPLE SHOULD SEE ILLS DES OF IT (Continued Iron page cm) In line we will get the benefit of $3,800, which the state and national govern­ ments will pay towards the expense of the service and will bare always avallablerin this county Un benefits of the extension and special work done at the State College, as well as what la done under lhe supervision of the United State* Department of Agriculture. Barry county now has two exten­ sion workers toward whose salary the state pays 13,000. County Agent Paul Rood, whose splendid work here has been recognised by thd State College and who Is soon to Join the extension force of that college in doing soil work throughout tlie state, has been our county agent for many years. He has always been on the Job and doing his very best all the time. Miss Beatrice Boyle Is now starting her third year as tin; head of clqb work tn thia-county. She has enrol fed something like 550 Barry county boys and girls in that kind of work and something like 450 women in club activities, which they will tell you have been very helpful to them. . What docs it cost Barry county to carry on this work? The county has levied a tax of one-fourth of one mill: that Is, every $1,000 of taxable property in Bairy county pays 35 cents a year for the purpose of keeping this valu­ able extension work going in Barry county. Take Uie average 80 acre farm, which wc will say is assessed for $40 an acre or $3,200. The owner would be paying only one fourth of a mill on that eighty acre farm asaesccd ■' $3,200. It would actually cost the own­ er but 80 cents for keeping a county agent and a county club worker busy ail the time In this county. When one considers what it has meant to the boys and girls of Barry county to have their interest directed to things that will help them In their work In life, what is 25 cents on $1,000. when weighed against such a service? It is impossible to calculate Ikw much In dollars nnd cents has Seen added to Barry county through the val­ uable work that has been carried on by Paul. Rood. Anyone who sits in Mr. Rood's office and hears bls answers to telephone calls from all parts of the county, knows that he is giving them Information that helps them. In the course of a year hundreds or fanners call on him and ask where they might go to find this kind of stock, get that kind of seed, or what information he has in regard to the use of lime, what fertilizers are recommended for certain conditions, how to arrange to have soil tested, how to make purchases of ground limestone, or other materials needed—anyone who has seen nnd heard al) this in the course of a short stay in Mr. Rood's office would realize that he Is performing a real service for the people of Barry county. Be­ cause the Banner has felt that his services are very helpful, we have us- pally visited hi* office two or I DEAN JACKSON SPOKE three I times every week whan seeking news or information that would be of value to our farmer renders. Ha has always been glad to give his time and to give us the facU in regard to any matters brought to his notice. Through these visit* to hl* office we have had the op­ portunity to see how far-reaching his work has been. To put the resulting benefit* in terms of dollars and cents would be ImjNMlble, because of the intangible nature of the items that have entered into the account. In our judgment his salary has been re­ paid many times over in the direct help he has been to farmers who have made use of the services he can anti does render. When one V°P“ to consider how lit­ tle it costa the average citizen to carry on this kind of work and how much Barry county needs It, it has seemed strange to the writer that there could be any question about it. Without belting an eye. supervisors who now seem antagonistic to continuing this service have cheerfully voted for Co­ vert rood* in a single year over 30 times what It has cost lhe county for both Mr. Rood's and Miss Boyle’s services. The Banner Is In favor of good road*, but think* that sometimes more roads have been authorized than consideration for prudent financing would have warrant­ ed. When one considers how many oth­ er ways there are in which the'county could economize but doesn't. It seems ridiculous to start by discontinuing a service that costs only 25 cents a year on the $1,000 of taxable property in Barry county, and which service Is sorely needed in thl* county. I , DIST. GOVERNOR SHARPE ADDRESSES LIONS CLUB 1 HE PLEADS GUILTY OF FRAUDULENT PRACTICE Fred G. Hardman Admits He Drew Oheck With Insuffi­ cient Funds Available Considerably over a year ago Fred O. Hardman, alias G. B. House, breezed into Hastings and seemed very anxious to buy a farm. A real estate agent took him north of town, where he found a place that he claimed exactly suited him. He came back to one of the local banks and deposited a check for $2,000, and said that he would soon have some more to put with it and would then pay for the farm he had purchased. He then drew a check against his own account, pocketed the proceeds and vamoosed. Before I the sheriff could locate him he was picked up In Living­ ston county'for Ute same performance, convicted and sent to Jackson prison. When his term expired last week the authorities here were notified. Sheriff Leonard was on hand and took Hard­ man as he was released from Jackson and brought him here. He was arraign­ ed Saturday before Judge MePeek on a charge of issuing checks with in­ sufficient funds available. He plead guilty and was remanded to Jail. Of course the bank found that the $2,000 check was a forgery. There was no such person as purported to have signed the check living at the place where the check was supposed to have | been issued. The Lions Club was most fortunate in having for iu speaker Monday noon of this week. the District Governor, Mr. Sharpe, of Bay City. He called atten­ tion io the fact that when lhe Lions had their first convention in 1917 hi Dalia* that thirty five clubs were represented. Twelve years later in Louisville the convention numbered representatives from twenty one hun­ dred clubs, representing a membership of over 75,000. Governor Sharpe asked us to consider why twelve years had •*en such phenomenal growth. After bringing to mind the high cali­ ber of the membership, making up the Lion* Club throughout the .world, the Governor called to mind our motto— L-I-O-N-S ’ Liberty. Intelligence. Our Nation's Safety.” and dwelt for the re­ mainder of the extremely Interesting talk on the first and second words ot that motto ’’Liberty, Intelligence." •There 1* no true liberty without our type of government." said he, ’ that Is not based on an intelligent grasp of our problems and Ideals. There are three forms of govern­ ment popular today:—The one man control exemplified by Italy with her dictator, which ha* in iu favor extreme economy; the type ruled by class, exemplified by Russia, probably a good government for such a country where fully 80 per cent can neither read nor write: and last but not least, a demo­ cratic form of government as exempli­ fied by that of the United SUte*. Il U tn this latter form of government that intelligence Is absolutely essential If any degree of liberty Is to be main­ tained. Speaking of the various immigrants who have come to our shores. Mr. {Sharpe referred to the German, the English. Scotch. Welsh and Irish. •These." said he "readily assimilate our Ideals and fit themselves for Intelli­ gent citizenship." The immigrants of southern Europe do not so readily do so. This constitutes our problem. We must Inspire and educate these people and. ourselves that wc may think live and believe In America and her government if democratic government is to guarantee us liberty. The Governor paid a fine tribute to the Boy Scouts, whom he said, above every other organization of which he has knowledge, is doing Just that thing, bringing nil to on intelligent under­ standing of our ideals. We must educate ourselves to unself­ ish mutual service If democracy Is to live. The Governor concluded his talk by pointing out the contribution made to our government by our three greatest lenders; Washington, who made our country; Lincoln, who saved our coun­ try; nnd Wilson, who gave our coun­ try the world-wide outlook toward an intelligent and friendly understanding. "These three men" said the Governor, "in 'their' respective spheres, jjerfectly exemplified that unselfish service which should Inspire every true Lion." HIS GOOD WORK BROUGHT DIXIE HIGHWAY TO MICH.

T. Colgrove In­ duced Dixie Highway Asson. to Change Original Plan In lhe mention of the rood activities of the late Philip T. Colgrove no men­ tion was made tn any newspaper of his connection with the “Dixie High­ way." This has been brought to our attention. It appears tiiat Mr.-Oolgrore had taken u deep Interest in that highway, which, as we understand It. was originally planned to go from Chi­ cago southeastward. Mr. Colgrove, who was u member'of the Dixie Highway Association. did not attempt to get a dlversion of that hlghway-gway from Chlicago to Michigan, but was successful I in getting the association, who planned {and carried Uirough that great im­ provement. to sanction a branch line into this state which completely en­ circles the lower peninsula. This has I been responsible for bringing thousands and thousands of tourists into Michigan every year from the south. Tills addi­ tion to the Dixie Highway for which he was responsible has made that high­ way far more valuable than the origi­ nal plan, especially through the vaca­ tion months of the summer. Business and professional men from the south­ land escape the extreme heat of the summer by a drive over Uie Dixie into I Michigan and along our great lakes and to visit resorts which are made ac­ cessible by that highway. Mr. Colgrove was an official k>f the association which [tanned and carried out the Michigan, extensions of the Dixie Highway. He certainly did a good stroke of business when he In­ duced his associates in the Dixie High­ way Association to have this road built Into Michigan. ~i AT THE BROTHERHOOD Many Opportunities to Economize What Should Be One’s Contribu-1 tion to Life?—Be a Good Neighbor I A fin* address was given to the Brotherhood Monday night by Dean 1 Jacjuon of St. Marks Pro-Cathedral. ' Grand Rapids. A good supper was I served by the squad, captained by Adel- 1 bert Cortright. Six new name* were 1 added to lhe Brotherhood roll. Dean Jackson's theme was •'Wljat One's Contribution Ought to Be to | Life." He told of the young man who I came to Jesus • and very earnestly | a^ked- "What shun 1 do to inherit ' eternal life?" The Master replied, j "What does the law siy?" And the man | retfietnbered the summary of all lhe Mosiac laws and answered: "Love the Lord thy God with al) thy heart, with j nil thy mind and with all thy strength . nnd thy neighbor as thyself." This ' young man was prepared to accept ' without question hi* duty to love God. But he had some doubt* about the Job • of loving his neighbor: and to clear I them he asked the question: "Who Is ] my neighbor?" Jesus answered with the familiar parable of "The Good Samar- | han.” telling how priest and Levite had I walked past a wounded man: but the . one with whom neither priest nor ■ Levite would have any dealing* what- I ever, the Samaritan, picked up the wounded man, dressed his wounds as best he could, took him to an inn. paid the charges and said that when he re­ turned that way if more was required he would pay It. He was a.real neigh­ bor. Dean Jackson said that was Jesus' answer to the question "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?'' and the answer is: "Be a good neighbor—a real neighbor." He said that Is what the meaning of a Brotlierhood organization really must be. The address appealed forcefully to each member to be a good neighbor. He said we arc made to live with one another and to love one an­ other. He said a real brother wImj lias lhe Kingdom spirit in him will show in his bearing toward others lovtf, Joy. and peace; and these will fruit in a life of good will and helpfulness. Dean Jackson gave a fine definition of faith, which he said was "Reason grown courageous." We should use our reason and then have the courage ot our convictions. Il was a fine address.

We have heard no criticism of the request by the Department of Public Safety for an approprUtion from the State Administrative Board sufficient to equip the state police with machine guns and other epuipment enabling thetn to speak to the modem criminal In his own kind of language. In recent years the state police have arisen to an enviable position as a law­ enforcement body. We no longer hear them spoken of in terms of contempt. In hundreds of instances they have demonstrated their value in trailing down criminals and bringing them to justice. Nothing so discourages the wrongdoer as the fear of prompt de­ tection and speedy punishment.

Secretary Lamont's report gives add­ ed authority to a statement of the Na­ tional Bureau of Economic Research Dial since 1923 the average annual in­ come of lhe people ot the United States has progressively increased at the rate of nearly 83.000.000.000 a year. The tout realized annual Income for 1928 is put at 889,419,000.000, which compared with 865949.000.000 in 1919 and 829.­ 605.000.000 in 1909. The advance has been uninterupted save in 1914. lhe year of the beginning ot the World War. and in 1921. the year of poat-war deflation. A gratifying feature of the statement is that wage earners' and salaried work­ ers' incomes showed an Increase greater than tiiat of entrepreneurs as compared with the respective incomes in 1922. If such were needed, here is evidence that the poor are getting richer along with the rich, though of that fact there is ocular proof all around —Philadelphia Inquirer.

At the wheel, his hands taut, his mind alert, his spirit gloriously free, is tiny Man, directing the prodig­ ious force he himself has created. S The background reveals an industry of workers trained in precision; artisans, devoted to beauty; inspectors, with an eye for the flaw; designers; engineers; and the everpresent guiding genius. Springing from these spe­ cialized talents, from ceaseless laboratory experimen­ tation, the utmost manufacturing efficiency and proud craftsmanship, is the.perfected Automobile of Today.

Tlie welded muffler is an effective silencer of the exhaust. The flattened tall pipe is of the modulator type rendering the sound of the final ex­ haust practically inaudible. Power of Motor. ' The power'of the motor is trans­ mitted to the rear wheels through a single-disc, cork-insert clutch with cushioned hub similar to that used in the motor of the Greater Hudson and . through a large diameter steel propeller shaft with two all-metal universal joints enclosed In oil-tight housings. The front axle, of I-beam section includes a Hudson Improvement In the form of drop-forged, crow-ribbed yokes. The front axle steering spindles are mounted on ball-bearings and the steering tie-rod is universal-jointed. The rear axle, though outwardly of conventional appearance, also incor­ porates an important Innovation by which unusual strength and perma­ nent alignment are given to the gears of the final drive. The springs are semi-elliptic, the rear springs being underslung and spread at the rear in accordance with previous Hudson practice. Two-way hy­ draulic shock absorbers are Installed and the Hotchkiss system of taking care of the rear axle drive through the springs Is retained. Tpc four-wheel brake system is of the .latest Improved weatherproof Bendix type, with two articulated self­ aligning shoes operated by a floating cam. .

It has always been their belief that a sale does not complete the transaction between them and the buyer but establishes a new obligation on them to see that each car gives its owner service. We with the company are as much interested in your economical operation of the car as you are in the economical manufacture of it. This is only good business on their part as well as ours. If the Ford car gives service, sales will take care of themselves. • For that reason they have required that we install a system of service so that we are able to take care of all Ford car needs in a careful and economical manner. We wish, therefore, to assure all buyers and users of Ford cars that we are properly equipped so that they may avail themselves of the very best car service. - Th'e FordlPromise I — Two years ago, when the new Ford was first introduced, the Ford Motor Company made the statement that the new Model A would be “superior in design and performance to any other car ’ available in the low price field.” The record of the past two years shows that the prediction of 1927 has become an accomplished fact. Nearly 3,000,000 cars have been built up to this time. This accomplishment is both interesting and important, because it re- . veals something of the regard in which the new Ford is held by millions of motorists. .For this large production would have been impossible without the growing public demand for the car. New Beauty In the New Ford Beauty of Line and Outstanding Performance Make the New Ford a “Value Far Above the Price.” The new Ford is a particularly good choice because it brings you everything you want or need in a motor car.

AFFECTING MOTORISTS Expert Service IN Auto Electric Work Generators, Starters, Lights and Batteries Are Our Specialty Don't experiment, come to us and if we don't know what pour car needs we will tell pou so. Service is Prompt — Prices Are Reasonable The American Motorists Association cnl’r attention to six recent court de­ cisions affecting motorists. One unholds the validity of the Cal­ ifornia three-cent gasoline tax. Anoth­ er upholds the legality of the Connect­ icut act relieving owners and opera­ tors of automobiles from responsibili­ ty for injuries to guests transported gratuitously, unless the injuries were incurred in accidents caused intention­ ally or by heedless or reckless disre­ gard for others. Two other decisions b-’ar out the theory that, between pedestrian and driver, the burden of responsibility for an accident rests on the driver when the pedestrian has the right of way at a crossing. anti vice versa when the pe| destrlan “Jaywalks" between crossings. Both decisions wore handed down by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The fifth decision is to the effect that a motorist has a right to rely on ‘the silence of a warning gong at a rail­ road intersection as an assurance of safety If the gong is out of order and on accident results, the motorist is not to blame, according to the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The last decision involved a motor­ ist. his mother-in-law and an accident occurring while the wife was showing her mother the sights around Madison. Wis.

"It appears that in 1858 Justice H. ' Rathbone, then suffering from ill ' health, went to the northern peninsula i of Michigan, into the coppw district I for lhe benefit of his health. He was a 1 । cultured man. a splendid musician and a man of fine ideals. He taught jfhool | at Eagle Harbor, which is near the city , of Calumet and during the yinter of | 11858 and 1859. formed his plans for | starting the new order, to be called the . Knights of Pythias. I "Those were stirring times in this j I country. Already the shadows of lhe • Civil war were beginning to be so plain that no one could escape the conviction I that such a strife was inevitable. It happened that, while Mr. Rathbone । was in Northern Michigan, he became . i interested in dramatic entertainments. , I "Among the plays given was that of .1 Damon and Pythias. This story deeply j I impressed him. He felt very certain that this country was to be rent by ' | civil strife. He aimed to look beyond ■ that time and to try to heal the wounds which the expected war wou’d cause and to reunite the American people. That he accomplished much in that i direction, not only through his order, I but through what he said and did. .cannot be questioned. "When the war broke out.

LIBRARY NEWS “The Good Companions." by J. B. Priestley, combines a descriptive ability as remarkable and as amazingly ob­ servant as that of Dickens with a great breadth of subject matter, the most important part of which is inherently modern. One feels that thb book was not written hastily or with the idea of financial gain even so much as present tn the author’s mind. In the first place. It is long, and the writer of would-be beat sellers does not risk bor­ ing hb readers with too many pages. In Die second place, thc entire length of it is pervaded by a Puckish humor wherein lhe author laughs both with and at his characters. Last but not least, you cannot but feel that It has been a pleasure to him to set down de­ tail after detail of a landscape, a town or a street, thc whole amounting to a very perfect picture.

I know also that j there are methods and methods of de- I scription. but Mr. Priestley's way b pre- i eminent In that it never bores; It b never too long; It b always to the point; and It b beautiful or terrible or drub or lively as thc case requires, hb ability not being limited to any type of j place or person. In plot structure thb novel also Invltes comparison with Dickens. There are at least three major and eight or more minor characters whose destinies must be worked.out.

They consulted their attorney—the plaintiffs did— and brought a proceeding for the purjxjse of getting a permament Injunc­ tion restraining the submitting of that vole to the people. I take It from what 1 have heard that the respondent here, and the oth­ ers associated with her as plaintiffs in ' that case, were disappointed when they found that the records showed that this irregularity complained of had been taken care of by the proceedings and then, after that wm discovered. It ap­ pears from lhe testimony here that the respondent made the statement that the school board had fabricated a reso­ lution. and had it put into the record so as to complete the records to make them come within the requirements of lhe taw.

The testi­ mony of Mr. Smith, the secretory of lhe board, goes to the extent of saying that in talking with the respondent, that she had told him twice before that meeting that the Judge was flxtd. and the whole case was settled. *o far as the decree of the Court wai con­ cerned. and the lawyers knew how If was going to be decided .before the tes­ timony was submitted, or words to that effect. Now. that is the background for com­ ing into this school meeting on the evening of the 8th of July. 1929. Then the budget to read. There appears a four hundred or four hundred and fifty dollar Item that the school board has paid, tn addition to what the plaintiffs had to say. in order to bring that law­ suit and have It decided Nothing was accomplished by it except to authorise the submission of the question. Noth­ ing was accomplished by lhe lawsuit: and here is the four hundred and fifty dollar item. Some of the testimony shows that thc board had to pay to de­ fend itself against the lawsuit that probably coat the plaintiffs that much more to bring it. A certain amount of mental deduction probably was in the mind of the respondent, and maybe some others, as to the outcome of that case, and the bringing of it. Now, that to really the threshold of this case here. Bo when this budget was read, and the Items were discussed, that is the condition of mind we start out with. In this case, the respondent admits that she made certain statements in regard to matters about which the plaintiff here says lhe statements were made by her. Of course there to a dis­ parity between the statements alleged by the plaintiff, and those admitted by the defendant. The plaintiffs claim that the discussion was in regard to Judge McPeek. and the claim to made that she said in effect that justice could not be obtained In hto court— that to. the Circuit Court of this coun­ ty. over which he presides regularly. The defendant says she was finding fault wllh her attorneys. Now, at the outset it would be easy for anybody to say that a person would have no more reason for finding fault wllh their private attorneys at a school meeting than they yrould have for finding fault with their doctor, or their dentist, or their carpenter, or their veterinary surgeon. Hiring a law­ yer and paying him is simply a per­ sonal and private matter. If you hire a lawyer and he holds himself out to be an attorney, and he fails to perform services such as are reasonably expect­ ed of an attorney in the community In which he resides, or if you can show that he did not have the ability or he did not exercise the faithfulness that were necessary for a lawyer to exercise in protecting the interests of Iris client, he can be sued, or he can have a disbarment proceeding brought against him. There are several things that can happen to a lawyer if he does not do hto duty; but It is purely a pri­ vate matter between him and the party who hires him. and whom he falls, It to not a matter that the public would be interested In only as a matter of exposure, and not a matter for discus­ sion at a meeting such as was held. On the other hand! there to the statement made by (he respondent, that to testified to by her and her hus­ band. to the effect that she said in her opinion the case was settled before the case came into court. A case cannot bo settled before it to brought into Court except It to settled by some contact with the Judge. Lawyers cannot make up their minds how a case to going to be settled, and bring It into Court un­ less they have had some understand­ ing with the Judge on it.

We Pay 3% Interest Compounded Semi-Annually On All Savings Accounts Hastings National Bank The Only National Bank in Barry County To say that a case Is settled before It is brought into Court, and to say that Justice was not hafl is. in a large measure, to admit In this case the charges made by the plaintiffs. It is admitted by the respondent that thia matter was under discussion. Mr. Smith says that, upon Inquiry of the respondent when she made certain statements, he asked the respondent. Mrs. Furniss, If she was referring to Judge McPeek. when she made those statements. Whatever it was, he says he asked that question. She admits that she was asked that question, so that part of this transaction Is ad­ mitted. Whatever It was that Mr. Smith says he asked, the respondent In this case admits that he did ask her. Now. after she answered, whatever it was. it Is admitted that he said: "I want all of you people here to remem­ ber that.” Now. If all Mrs. Fumtos said was. "I didn’t mention Judge McPeek.” would It be reasonable that Mr. Smith would say. "All you people remember that, because this is going to lead to something else?" If Mrs. Fumtos had said. "I did not refer to. and did not Involve Judge McPeek.” why, to have the people remember that would be to establish the fact that Judge McPeek was not being considered unfavorably in that controversy at all. and nothing further could come from it. But it is admitted that Smith said. "I want all you people to remember that, because you will hear further from this.” or words to that effect. Now. I mention that as bearing upon the probabilities of the claims of the plaintiffs. It is much more probable that Mr. Smith asked Mrs, Fumtos. just as the five witnesses for the plaintiffs said here. “Did you refer to Judge McPeek?” and that she said "Yes," or “I do," or "I refer to Judge McPeek.” as the case may be. rather than. “You mentioned Judge McPeek’s name. I didn’t;” because if she af­ firmed what he said in hi$ question, it would be logical then that he would say. "I want all you people to remem­ ber that." But if she denied fl. and re­ pudiated the insinuation of the ques­ tion. It would be most illogical for him to ask the assembled audience there to remember. If he had tn mind something by way of a proceeding. These witnesses In this case of course I never saw before, never heard before. I never saw Mr. Smith, nor Mr. Zemer. nor Mr. Nelson. Mr. Edmonds, nor Mrs. Everts. Those are the witnesses who testified in behalf of the plaintiff here, or the so-called plaintiff. I find nothing in the evidence that shows that they had any personal interest in this mat­ ter. I do know that a very unfortunate habit has grown up everyihere in our country of abandoned criticism of peo­ ple in official responsibility. In the first place, it seems to be a bad condition that flagrant and perfectly unjustified statements are made by people, about people who are in official responsibili­ ty. without anything to base them on, very much—just because people are against what 13.

It was a wrong that a preacher of the Gospel had committed upon a young lady. I was sure that I was right, and I made every effort possible to see If I could not convict that man. And the girl had told me that this man got a minister's half-fare ticket to send her to a certain place. I made a search, but I could not find that evi­ dence, I tried that case for several days. Finally the respondent falsified so badly that I got him In the mesh of his own entanglements, and he was convict­ ed. And lhe Chairman of the Com­ missioners of the Poor of our county sat in the Court during all that time, heard me trying to show that this man. being a preacher, got his railroad ticket at half fare and. after the trial was over, he came up to me and said. "I Issued that half fare ticket to him. as a Poor Commissioner." Can you imagine my disgust at that public official who sat there and heard me making that effort, heard me asking this question, “Didn't you get a half fare ticket, as a preach­ er, for this girl?” “No. sir." he answered. And this county official of our coun­ ty sat there and listened, and he never mentioned it until after the jury had rendered a verdict of guilty. And then he came up and smilingly told me this wonderful news, after the time had passed when I needed him. It simply was beneficial in that it showed the girl Young folks are apt to forget that Mother grows lonely was telling the truth as far as she was when they move away.

I haven’t any doubt but that it Is with a great deal of embarrassment, or personal wish that the event had not taken place, that those cilixans at prominence eome ' up here and testify to what they say took place in this school meeting. While I do not place any evidential value upon the statement of Mr. Bigler that there is quite a number of other people that are willing to testify cor­ roborating these five. It is not an easy thing—it is not as easy as it ought to be—to get people to come forward in behalf of public justice, and tell the truth about a matter In which the pub­ lic is Interested. There probably Is not an institution In the county, or in the stale, that is of more importance to the people, than that the judge of a Circuit Court should be a man above suspicion from the standpoint of rectitude and good character, reliability and unapproach­ ableness—those things that make for (Continued on page ten) ■•Hello, how are you?” For or lots MICHIGAN BBL TELEPHONE C( �THE HASTINGS BANNER.

And I comment upon that because it Is not an cosy thing to produce wit­ nesses of that kind. Now. several witnesses have testified here In behalf of the defendant. I am not going to review the personal ele­ ment* or tlie qualities of each witness: but it seems to me that it is fair and reasonable to aay that, tn weighing the testimony as to it* evidential value, the testimony of Mrs. Norton and Mr. Bullis and Mr. Noyes and Mrs. Noyes and Mrs. Norton and Jasper Deed*, the testimony of those witnesses, who had practically no ability to remember only as counsel sought to refresh their recol­ lection—the testimony was not ot very great weight. They could not remem­ ber with any great amount of clarity and detail what took place. Their tes­ timony was not of any great weight Mrs. Furniss, when at this meeting, said she was not ashamed of this form­ er trial being referred to as the Furniss trial. She said that she was not ashamed of it; and that if the people could know what the truth was—Weil, what was the truth that she wanted the people to know? I cannot see the logi­ cal force of her having a desire that the people should know that she hired a lawyer who did not know how to try a small injunction lawsuit, one of the simplest things that there Is In the practice of law. What was this thing that would reflect no discredit upon her when she told the public what the Now. what these witnesses say is that she claimed that that truth was. and she wanted to tell it to the public, that no justice could be had in this Court; that the Court wm fixed before the trial, and that there was no use to take that go to make a person a good mem­ ber of society; and it is unfortunate in this case that the parties to this suit brought there.

These are circumstances, you understand, where there 1* a dispute in teatlmony. It Is the duty of the Court in this case to analyze the testimony and find the circumstances which lend credence to one side, or which detract from lhe other side, as thc case may be. This Is an unfortunate affair. Frequenlly when we have matters come up In court, and people get into contentlons that run on and develop into something worse, until one side or the other gets the other side into Court, we lawyers know that there is some lack of good character, there is some lack of early training, there is some lack of appreciation of good government, there is almost universally a lack of some of the fundamentals along for six or eight months, kick on his taxes. These questions. are then I human ! Under all the circumstances of this 1 case, after everything is said and done, without making any personal com­ ments further than I have, I am satis- [ fled from the weight of thc evidence ' in this case that has been submitted, ; that It shows beyond any reasonable : doubt that Mrs. Furniss made these statements, as claimed here by the pe- ■ tltioners. against Judge McPeek. I am satisfied that they were made under circumstance* that were rather aggra­ vating. vexing, annoying; but never­ theless that is no justification. I am satisfied that when Mr. Smith asked her thc question that he says he asked her, and that she says he askpd her, she stopped and thought, as he said. > considering for the moment whether she would say yes. and affirm what he put in his question there. Not desiring j or being unwilling to back down, if j I may use tlie word, from that position she very unwisely said "Yes.” or affirm- i ed what he asked when he said. "Are | you referring to Judge McPeek when you make those' statement*?"—refer­ ring to statements which he said she made, that justice could not be had in this Court, or that the Judge was fixed before the trial came on. I am, satisfied that the evidence shows that she made that statement, , max by ft contention that has been and co, under the circumstances. It is 1 waging. While I am on that. I will say necessary for the Court to say that the i that possibly It is over taxes. Maybe it burden of proof has been met by the not. Maybe it was over some unlm- plaintiffs, or the petitioners, and that portant and personal thing. I know lots the weight of the evidence establishes Of people that kick about fifty dollar thc allegations beyond a reasonable laxeiu and $ay it is too high.

You have tcstl- . . fled that.you had no intention to ex­ press and do not now hold any opinion 1 derogatory of Judge McPeek or his Court, his official integrity or probity. And of course from your saying that I I take it for granted that that is the I truth. You testified to it under oath, j and so that is a circumstance that the ; Court considers very favorably in your I [ behalf here. ' The maximum, as I understand it, Is [ $250 fine, or 30 days In jail. The Court I Is going to take into consideration the fact that you have testified here com- I pllmentarily to the Judge of this Cir- 1 cult—not any more complimentarlly j than he Is entitled to. not In any hlgher degree of respect and trustworthi- 1 j ness than he Is entitled to. But you have testified to a full belief and re­ Hance In his official Integrity and worthiness, and fitness for the position I ■ that he holds. So T will ask your , counsel. Mr. Colwell.

Encouraging result* in the battle against many ser­ ' lous disease* of animals has caused thc bureau of animal industry in the V. 8 Dept, of Agriculture to ask all livestock (Owners to cooperate with all public agencies which are trying to still fur­ ' ther accelerate the work of disease con­ trol. The Federal Bureau states that of the 35 serious animal disease present In the world only 24 are known io be present tn this country, and 17 of those present are being effectively controlled or are approaching eradication. Tick fever is one example of a disease which is being erased from the national map. Fourflf ths of the original area in which this disease occurred is now free from the disease, which has been eradicated from five states. . Tuberculosis, hog cholera, and con­ i taglous abortion arc three serious dlsenses whose control has progressed re­ markably during the past few years. The help of herd owners is still needed in the additional work which is neces1 sary to further reduce the losses from these three diseases. Specific measures for Inoculating animals to prevent the occurrence of certain diseases, methods for using dips to cure or prevent skin diseases, and ways to avoid losses from internal parasites or poLsonous plants arc de­ scribed in printed matter which is distrlbuted free by the bureau of animal industry, U. 8.

Especially win this apply to the RepubUc of Mexico. From thal country many thousands of im­ migrants. In some years It is claimed several hundred thousand, drift Into this country to work in cotton fields and the rice plantations of the south and the sugar beet and onion districts of the middle west. Most of them re­ turn to Mexico. They seem to have no idea of becoming citizen. of the Unit­ ed States. They are attracted by the high wages and better living conditions In the United States. This country Is enforcing a drastic limitation of Immigrants from Eur­ opean countries and Is prohibiting them altogether from lhe Orient. There is no reason why wc should leave lhe southern gate wide open. There is no reason why we should shut out intelli­ gent people from Europe, who want th come here and become citizens of this country and. at the same time, leave the bars down for Mexicans, who are inferior to Europeans, generally speak­ ing. in education and in desirableness as citizens. We are glad to notice that Congress is considering the matter and that a bill has been presented calculated to make a drastic cut in the number who will be permitted to enter this country from Mexico.

No other single food is receiving more earnest thought and attention by the public. 120JN»JX» people, than milk. Cleaner, more wholesome milk is the growing demand made by the public. The National Dairy Council says that 22 per cent of the consumer’s food dollar l» now expended for dairy pro­ duct*. No wiser choice can be made. No cheaper food can be purchased. No other food contains «o much health for so little money. Il Is believed by the leading dairy authorities and the National Dairy Council that the public will purchase even more dairy products tn the future. Estimates indicate that 35 cents out of every consumer’s food dollar will be spent for dairy pr&luct* in the future. To hasten the approach of this day. the Michigan State College iLts re­ sponded to a quality milk and cream demand exerted by Michigan dairy farmer* themselves. A special truck has been arranged to help bring the latest steps and information In cream and milk production to the farm. This truck carries exhibit material and utensil*, bnm equipment, ventilation features, milk house construction plans and other interesting features, togeth­ er with the extension dairyman and agricultural engineer from the Michi­ gan State College.

The benefits that would accrue to the nation from the construction of an adequate system of farm-to-market roads in every state are all but Incal­ culable. At present two-thirds of all farmers arc barred from their market-places during from two to six months of the year by unimproved roads which be­ come in winter a succession of Im­ passible mud holes. Improved roads would not only benefit the farmer, but many small towns would receive a larger amount of farm business. A good secondary road system would offer great attractions to the pleasure seeker, by opening up new country and relieving congestion on main trunk, highways, thereby reducing accident hazards. It has been estimated that the aver­ age farm family must pay *7.63 to a doctor for each home call, and that 13 per cent of farmers must pay *15.00. Poor roads are directly responsible for this comparatively high cost of necess­ ary medical attention. The fanner, as one of our greatest taxpayers, and a representative of our most basic industry, is entitled to all­ year usable roads. The trapper who tries to outwit the red fox must sharpen his wits, as this fox is keen scented and suspicious and has a wholesome fear of man. Traps and lhe ground where they are oct must be free from human odors. Steel trap* may be cleaned by boiling them with twigs of spruce, fir hemlock, birch, or sassafras, by burying them, or by­ leaving them In running water for a day or so.

March 21, at which time the taxpayers of Ute dis­ trict will be asked to decide by their ballots the proposition of bonding the district in the suni of *170,000 for the purpose of building a new school house, adequate to the needs of popu­ lar education in this City. city. Even if the indebtedness thus In­ curred meant a considerable Increase in school taxes, there would be plenty of reasons why the proposition should carry. But careful estimates have been I made which show that this amount, I although large enough to look formid- | able, will not add one penny to lhe jl present school tax rate. If lhe enter- i prise can thus be met, why should ,| there be any delay? Why not go ahead • and secure at once a very valuable as- • set fot Hastings? What possible argu- j ment can be advanced for voting j “No." when there is every inducement i| to vote "Yes?" We are already paying || our school tax without difficulty. Why '! not continue as we have been doing. 1 especially as we are getting the new building without adding a penny to our ’ burden? I do not wish, Mr. Editor, to discuss j the financial end of the proposition. • That has already been ably done. There are other angles of the problem which I It seems to me are worthy of consider- ! ation. and it is these that I desire to 1 emphasize. May I mention a few of the I i reasons that are almost too obvious to i need mentioning. It is generally conceded that a new d building is inevitable. Why proscrastlnate? If we put off the task we shall ' be compelled to make costly repairs on i lhe old buildings It Is certain that the , roof on the old red brick will have to be replaced with a new one. This will j cost thousands of dollars. The ventila­ tion of lhe old buildings is intolerable. ' ... . threatening the health of the boys and | girls who are compelled to stay in them. What parent will willingly en- ■ danger his children’s physical welfare? I Tiie heating of the old buildings Is cost­ ly. The new one will obviate moat of lhat expense. The toilets In the old I buildings are abominable. In a word, the using of the old buildings will prove to be expensive. I Why keep them, when a new one will be healthier, more sanitary, more eco­ nomical? Again, we owe a new building to the present generation of boys and girls. Let us protect their Ilves and health. Why wait until they grow up when we can now. without increasing our school taxes, give them a beautiful, attrac­ tive, wholesome building. refining in its Influence, Inspiring In Its appearance, cultivating the very best instincts, en­ couraging the highest aspirations of our children? For that is the educa­ tional influence of Imposing architec­ ture. and tasteful surroundings. Then why deprive the present gen­ eration of our boys and girls of such a beneficlent influence? Let us think of these boys and girls and give them the opportunity which their claims upon us demand. Let us remember that the building proposed is for the benefit of ALL chil­ dren—those who may not be permitted to go through the high school, but must by force of circumstance be obliged to be content with an eighth grade education, and then go into the world to work for themselves. THESE are the boys and girls whom we must consider. Then the new plans call for n fine, commodious and convenient public hall —a room tiiat can be used for all sorts of community gatherings, certainly a long-felt necessity for Hastings. Why temporize by building the structure by the piece-meal process? The board in­ tend to raise a fund sufficient for de­ fraying the total expense at once. When done it will not only be a beau­ tiful structure, but it will be a useful community center, with an adequate public hall. Then. Incidentally, the erection of the building will provide labor at a time when it is most needed, and dis­ tribute money when the present de­ pression is harming business. Eco­ nomically considered it will be oppor­ tune; for materials and labor will be cheaper than usual. Finally, not to trespass too much upon time and space, may I refer to one more advantage of building NOW: I mean the publicity asset We can now point with pride to our excellent and efficient high school, devoted entirely •~ SPIRIT AND FAITH REQUIRED. to our young men and young women.

Besides this the High school gives nu­ merous entertainments of a public na­ ture. and many for the benefit of the school itself. Naturally the use of the High schoql auditorium has had to be restricted. The school board desires to provide In the new building an audi­ torium which any individual, party, or organization In the city, desiring to pul eft a decent program, can rent at a reasonable price, the charge to cover only lighting, heating, janitor service and incidental expenses connected with maintaining such auditorium. In other words, it is not to be operated for profit but is to perform a real community service. The board have put them­ selves squarely on record for such use for the proposed auditorium in the new building, provided the same is approved by the voters at the election held March 21. The. architects’ figures for the cost of the proposed new building. Including all plumbing, heating and necessary furniture and furnishings, will be from 1200,000 to 1210000. They have gone over this matter carefully and based their figures on their own large experi­ ence with the construction of such buildings. The architects hold out the hope that right now these figures will be reduced, because of the fact that materials are now cheaper and because I contractors are not so busy these days this city can pay the entire cost new structure, the bonds being sold at five per cent, by applying year from the budget, WITHOUT IN­ CREASING THE SCHOOL TAX KA I E. When a community can do such a fine service for the pupils of our city who attend the grades and Junior high in the old central buildings, without add­ ing to the school tax burden, surely we ought all to heartily faVor the propo­ sition. • The board has fixed the date of March 21 for the election, because it is necessary, if building operations are to be completed this year, that work commence as soon as possible. It will take a considerable time to advertise for-bids, examine them and let the con­ tract. It will take some lime to as­ semble Che niaterlals after the con­ tract is let. It will take time to market the bonds to the best advantage. So the board feel that the matter should be decided at the earliest possible mo­ ment in order that the building may be completed within 1930 If the plan Is ap­ proved by the voters. The school law expressly provides that only taxpayers can vote at an election for bonds. The state law de­ fines a taxpayer of any city as one who lives there and owns property there which is on the tax rolL If tne title to the property subject to taxation is wholly owned by the husband or the wife, then the one who owns the prop­ erty only has the right to vote. If, however, the husband and wife own the property jointly, even if it is as­ sessed to the husband only, then the wife has as much right to vote as if her name were actually on the tax roll. But only owners of property subject to taxation will have a right to vote at the election which will be held upstairs in the city hall building on Friday. March 21. We believe that there will be general approval of the action of the board in fixing the hours from 11 A. M. until fl P. M..ao that all of those who desire can vote. The law stipulates that the board must provide at least two hours for voting. But the board has planned so that everyone who wants to do so can vole for lhe polls will be open for eight hours, so that every qualified tax­ payer will have a chance to express his sentiments. The board has put all the cards on lhe table, face up. They have placed this matter squarely before the people of this city. It is their unanimous judgment that Hastings needs this new school building. The people selected them to look after the schools; so that their Judgment is worthy of considera­ tion. They will send a letter to every taxpayer on the tax rolls of the city, telling them .what the board has done and their reasons for doing so, urging lhe voters to give merited consideration to this important subject. Now the issue Is up to the people of this dty. It will not be news to the readers of the Banner to learn that we earnestly hope that this city will favor the immediate building of this Junior high and grade structure. The 500 chil­ dren who attend school in the miser­ ably lighted, poorly ventilated central buildings which are dangerous fire traps are worthy of this consideration. The city needs the auditorium for pub­ lic purposes and public gatherings. Without increasing the school tax rate we can build and pay for this structure in 15 years. With this new building, Hastings will have a completely up-to-date school plant, with nothing better in any city of our size In this or any other state. It will give this city a wider reputation for the excellence of its schools, and will add to the value ot Hastings as a place to lire in. It will undoubtedly attract people to our dty. We can all feel, if the voters approve, that we have taken 500 Hastings children out of old. fire trap buildings and propose to give them modem, safe, well lighted, well ventilated school rooms in which to carry on their work. The Banner publishers have less in­ terest in this matter than most citizens because we have no children in our schools; but we do hope, for the sake of Hastings and its future, that our people, at the election to be held Fri­ day. March 21. will approve the issue of 1170,000 of bonds, so that we can build the new building this year. We can complete the payment for it tn 1945 WITHOUT ADDING TO THE SCHOOL TAX RATE. ...» (Continued from page one) Last week a sketch of’the proposed building, together with floor plans and general details, came to the board. At their meeting Thursday evening the board gave their approval to Ute plans submitted by Messrs. Warren Holmes Company, and decided that the mat­ ter should be put to a vote of the tax­ payers of lhe city on Friday, March 21. from 11 A. M. until fl P. M. The voting will be done upstairs in the city hall. Tite drawings of the buildings, as well as ground plans for the same, have been shown in some of the down town display windows, so lhat it is easy to tee what lhe board and the architect have in view. The proposed building would front on Broadway, on the old central grounds. The old red brick building would be tom down and much of the material uti­ lized In the construction of the new building. There will be no basement. There will be two stories—the lower one for the kindergarten and grades and lhe upper for the junior high and lhe normal departmenu. This proposed new building will also provide what Hastings has long need­ ed—an auditorium, with a good stage, one that will seat from 1.000 to 1.200 people, lhat will be available to any or­ ganization. no matter what its charac­ ter. that wishes to put on an entertain­ ment. furnish a lecture or hold any public gathering that may be desired, paying of course a reasonable rental for the same. Hastings has long need­ ed such an auditorium. The present High school auditorium could not be used in the general way that is desired. C. F.

They do not complain about not getting value recieved from their tax dollar, but they do say that taxes have mount­ ed so rapidly In recent years that their absorption In most cases brings actual financial embarrassment. Are you one of those who believes taxes too high? Do you think there is an unequal distribution of the tax bur­ den? If you do you will be given an opportunity to state your views on this Important subject. The state commission of inquiry into taxation, appointed last year by Gov­ ernor Fred W. Green, will hold the first of a series of public hearings in the Senate chamber at Lansing on Thursday, March 20. Taxation on real and personal property will be discussed. As a taxpayer you are invited to attend this hearing, express your opinion and make any suggestion you may desire on this Important phase of government.

Mar. 10.—Michigan potato growers are asked to consider the statements made by' government officials In the Agricultural Outlook which reports a contemplated Increase In the acreage of potatoes grown in the United Slates and predicts a conse­ quent reduction In market prices If weather conditions are favorable for the crop. With normal weather conditions, the proposed acreage to be planted will* produce 421 millions of bushels. The farm price for lhe 1924 crop wjilch was I approximately the same number of bushels was 625 cents per bushel. Prospective lower prices will make production economics still more pro­ fitable. The usual method of reducing lhe costs of production per bushel is to produce more bushels per acre. One of the least expensive ways of . improving the crop is to use high grade I seed which Is certified to be free of troublesome seed-borne . disease Michigan produce* some of the world's best potato seed and growers of the Slate have the first opportunity to purchase It. The varieties of seed recommended by the State College farm crops de­ partment are Irish Cobblers for early potatoes, and Russet Rurals, Green Mountaim. or White Rurals for late varieties. STATE FOLKS FINISH SHORT COURSE STUDY Liat of Graduates Show Michi­ gan Residents Use Scholas­ tic Opportunities East Laming? Mar. 10 —The list of short course graduates who recently finished their work at Michigan State College prove that the home folks fa­ vor this practical scholastic work as only seven ot the 137 graduates are not residents of Michigan. The dairy production course was the most popular this year and 32 men re­ ceived diplomas In that subject. Many of the testers who work in the State dairy herd Improvement associations receive their training In this course. The course in poultry attracts both men and women. Twenty graduates ob­ tained training in modem production methods. Two courses in general agriculture, one of eight and the other of 16 weeks, had a combined graduation list of 46. Home Economics was not so popular; only two women receiving diplomas In that subject. Studies of the manufacture of dairy products held the attention of 28 stu­ dents. and 14 specialized In agricultural engineering. The use of power machin­ ery on farms has given impetus to this subject. Make Your Home-Town Richer!

A builder builded a temple. He wrought it with grace and skill: Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will. Men said, as they saw its beauty, "It shall never know decay. Great Is thy skill O builder: Thy fame shall endure for aye." A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care. Planning each arch with patience. Laying each stone with prayer. None praised her unceasing efforts, None knew of her wonderous plan; i: For the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone Is the builder’s temple.

An economic burden of S5.000.000 Is laid annually on the people of the United States as a result of the crimi­ nal use of narcotic drugs, Capt. Rich­ mond Pearson Hobson, president and founder of the International Narcotic Education Association, said in a recent statement. CapL Hobson, whose attempt dur­ ing the Spanish-American War to bot­ tle up Admiral Cervera's fleet tn San­ tiago harbor by sinking the Merrimac across its channel, won him fame fame, has for many years since leaving the navy used his energies and means to fight the drug traffic. Last year 75.000 girls disappeared from their homes to swell the stream of youth pouring Into the criminal pur­ suits, Capt. Hobson said. The majority went the drug path. The problem of addiction has become a world problem arid is faced by every country. "Is It not at this time the duty o! all good Americans to spend freely in order to help business?" This question and others of similar import have of late found their way many times into letters reaching the writer of these lines. It is quite natural that such questions should arise when business conditions are somewhat be­ low normal. It must be borne in mind that what would be considered good advice to one person would be very unsound advice to another. It is true that everything possible should be done to develop greater business activity. Cer­ tainly. this cannot be accomplished if everyone is to hoM aloof from spend­ ing money.

REPORT the activities of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) during the past year and- an importanhannouncement to the public A RADIO PROGRAM OF UNUSUAL INTEREST 9:30-10:50pjn., (C T.,) Vtdnoday, March 12tb WILL ROGERS • SOUSA'S BAND MADAME LOUISE HOMER EDWARD G. SEUBERT, President Oil defaaj (Indiana) 1HURSDAY, MARCH 6, the stockholders b of Standard Oil Company (Indi- a ana) held their | ‘ annual meeting. Several of the matters brought up at that meeting are of possible interest not only to stock­ holders who could not be present, but to the employees of the Company and to the public as well. With more than 87,000 owners, with a working force of40,000 people, and with approximately 35,000 dealers who distribute its products, the Com­ pany naturally plays a considerable part in the industrial life and business pros­ perity of the territory which it serves. Wc therefore are pleased to report that the past year has been one of the most successful in its history. One of the outstanding events of the year was the acquisition of controlling interest in the Pan American Petroleum and Transport Company. This gives Standard Oil Company (Indiana) an international organization, serving not only many sections of the United States but a number of Central and South American countries as well. It gives the Company a remarkable reserve of crude oil among the finest of the world's oil fields. The year has also seen a wide extension of Standard Oil serv- WGHP . WOWO KMOX. KFH...............

F«x« ice throughout its immediate territory. Service has been increased both to the dty motorist and to the farm. The needs of our farm customers have grown greatly in recent years. Over 20 percent of all farms in the states served by Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are now equipped with trac­ tors as well as motor cars. Thousands of them produce their own electric power by means of the gasoline engine. Our Company pioneered in serving the farm and this tradition is being maintained by increasing our facilities each year throughout the farming area. The past year, however, has been suc­ cessful in more than a business way. It has been marked by achievements of interest to .everyone who drives a car. We are fortunate in the possession of one of the greatest oil research labora­ tories in the world, out ofwhich are com­ ing discoveries of first rank importance in the making of petroleum products. Last fall, after considerable experi­ mental work, we developed a greatly improved Ethyl Gasoline—the new Red Crown Ethyl. The essential feature ; of this product was the perfec­ tion of a gasoline base of un­ usually high quality with which ' j\ we combined the Ethyl com1 pound. Its rapid acceptance by the public was hardly unexpected —but it has been gratifying, none the less. Now we are prepared to announce a further manufacturing achievement For many months this Company has been working to perfect a new product. The work has been completed. Tests of the product, both in the laboratory and under service conditions, have more than met our expectations. We are con­ vinced that it will prove a contribution both to the pleasure and economy of driving a car. This product will be announced in a special program to be given over the radio on Wednesday, March 12 th. Because of the character of the announcement a program of unusual interest has been arranged—including Sousa's Band, Mme. Louise Homer and the well-known entertainer, Will Rogers. The broadcast begins at 9:30 P. M. Central Time and will be sent over a chain of fourteen leading stations. It fs hoped you will all listen in.

Paved, all-year-round highways have done much to remove country and state barriers and link the nation closer to­ gether. Fifty years ago it was not uncommon for a person to be born, live and diet without traveling a hundred miles from. his community. Now. due to the auto­ mobile and good roads, we can travel! hundreds of miles in a day. The entire Ti>e result has been a lessening of sectional jealousies and misunderstand­ ings and more frequent and friendly social and commercial contacts between people* of different stales. Provincial America Is no more. Unfortunately, the farmer has. to a great extent, been left out of the pic­ ture. The average farm road Is still at the mercy of rain and snow. It Is often a succession of ruts and mud holes. It is a barrier between the farmer and his market. « Road building programs should pro­ vide for an adequate mileage of feeder or farm-to-market roads. Year-round, efficient, long-wearing surfaces can be constructed at a low cost and without excessive maintenance expense. Good roads are the principal thing necessary to place agriculture on an equal footing with other great Industries. FARM ROADS NEEDED. A practical method of "farm relief" Is for every state to adopt a program of building farm-to-market roads as rapidly ns their budgets will allow. In the past the city dweller has re­ ceived most of the advantages accruing from the building of highways. The fanner, though one of our foremost taxpayers and producers, has not been given his share of improved roads. Social and commercial contact with the outside world, through the medium of low cost, hard surfaced highways, makes for more progressive and pros­ perous agriculture. So long as the millions of American farmers are kept from their markets during many months of the year, by unimproved roads, there will be a se­ rious farm problem. It is the duty ot every state to give agricultural dis­ tricts roads which are practical for travel all the year round. POPUNK. Mrs. Ray Erway entertained the: Yeckley.

It is essential, therefore, that you give careful thought to the best selection and know what yoh are getting for your automobile dollars. The difference in selling cost, combined with the low charges for financing and accessories, amounts to at least $50 to $75 on each car. This is as impor­ tant as economies in production in keeping down the price you pay for the new Ford. The first cost is important because it may mean an immediate, satisfactory saving. Of equal impor­ tance is the ultimate cost after thousands of miles of service. This ultimate cost is the true measure of automobile value. The low ultimate i. The NOTICE TO CREDITORS UNION JOINT STOCK LAND BANK first cost of the new Ford is unusually low not only because of economies in manufacturing, but because the same principles that inspire these savings are extended to every other step that means greater service to the public. It is easy to see that economies in production would be of little value if they were sacrificed later through high charges for distribution, selling, financing and accessories. The Ford dealer, therefore, does business on the same low-profit margin as the Ford Motor Company. His discount or commission is twenty-five to fifty per cent lower than that of any other automobile dealer. You gain because he makes a small profit on many sales instead of a large profit on fewer sales. cost of the new Ford is the result of sound design, quality of material and unusual care in manufacturing. Friction and wear are reduced by tIn­ accuracy with which each part is made and assembled. These factors combine to decrease the cost of operation and add months and years to the useful life of the car. The good performance and low yearly depreciation of the new Ford are indicative of the enduring quality built into it at the factory. SERVICE charges are on the same fair, economical basis as the making and selling of the car and replace­ ment parts are always available at low prices through all Ford dealers. In two, three or five years, depend­ ing on how much you drive, the saving in operating and maintaining a new Ford will Amount to even more than the saving on the first cost. Think in terms of tomorrow, therefore, when you purchase an automobile. For tomorrow will reveal its true worth. D. 1930. ORDER TOR PUBLICATION. ORDER FOE PUBLICATION.

The lew' requires that ALL plans for new ymool build­ ings MUST BE SUBMITTED to that department, and must have their approvtb before they can‘be constructed. If buXding plans are not approved by this body, then public money cannot be used to Qay for the school building constructed 'according to plans which this state department does not approve The State Detriment of Public In­ strucUon is opposed to a basement un­ der a grade and Junior high school building. They not only insist that the expense for such a basement is un­ warranted. because of the limited use that would be made of such basement by the small children in the grades and Junior high, but they oppose it on grounds of public health, in this they have the undoubted sanction of the State Health Department. The Depart­ ment of Public Instruction is opposing basements in all school buildlngi, be­ cause they cannot be ventilated as they ought to be. They are especially op­ posed to basements in grade and Jun­ ior high buildings, because they claim thej are apt to be damp and that such dampness Is harmful to the little folks. They insist, therefore, that other plans than basement rooms be made for gymnasium or play rooms for pupils In grades and the Junior high.

SMITH Is Made Vlce-Preiidfint of the University—Continues as Secretary of Institution A fine honor has come to a former Hastings man, Shirley W. Smith, secre­ tary of the University at Ann Arbor, Michigan. President A. G. Ruthven of the University announced Thursday that, in a re-organization of the ad­ ministrative positions of the university. Shirley W. smith had been named vice president ns well as secretary. The change became immediately effective. Mr. Smith has been for many years secretary of the university. Last year he was made secretary and business man­ ager. He was born in this city, gradu­ ated from'our schools, then completed a course at the University of Michigan. He first located in Philadelphia, but was later recalled to Ann Arbor to take the position of secretary, which he has filled with ability and success. His many friends congratulate him upon the fine honor that has come to him. which Is a merited recognition of his excellent service to our university. As secretary of the University. Mr. Smith has earned the gratitude of many a Barry county boy by the friend­ ly interest he has taken in him after the student had started his work In the University. He has always been ready to help any worthy young man no matter what- pan of the state or county he came from; but he has al­ ways had an especially warm place in his heart for every Barry county stu­ dent st the University.

RESERVED SEATS ON'SALE AT PALMER’S DRUG STORE ON OR AFTER TUESDAY, MARCH 25th Auspices Chapter No. 7, Order of the Eastern Star "Invitation to the Dance." by Madge Jenison, is a book of quality. It is beautifully set up and printed, and the suggestion of luxury in the format U taught up in the story and later carried to a conclusion of smashing splendor. The plot Is rich in drama and In the kind of Improbable happenings which are always occurring in life. The first half of the book is sordidly realistic aa it tells of Aunt Ouddah's first steps tor ward life. She begins these faltering steps at the age of forty-four when she marries Unde Orlando. She has been left in relatively comfortable circum­ stances at her mother's death and for seven years after marrying Orlando she pillows him in softest ease and develops herself from a creature too timid ' to breathe aloud into a person who be­ comes a strange, motivating destiny tn many lives. The strength of the story lies in the plot development and I shall not lake away its surprises here except to say that the reader is shifted from scenes of grinding poverty to ones of other-world luxury: from Toledo. Ohio to California to Toledo. Spain. One misses no single class of American citizens, only a few American climates and no American enthusiasms. The writing and description are high­ ly individualistic. It has been wrought with pain out of this writer's soul. There are times when her crystal-clear sharp-etched words rock one with laughter and times when 'they wring one with sympathy. A keen, incisive in­ telligence has Madge Jenison, and much bitter wit and kindly wisdom. Parts of the book are very confused; thc vision of ita meaning being, per­ haps. so perfectly clear to the author that she does not realize we cannot follow her unwritten thought. Parts of it arc badly written, perhaps when she was driving herself. But this can be said of the entirety. None of it is unin­ teresting. To give you a taste of its quality I quote the opening sentence: "Aunt Guddah was one of those breaks in a family front who marry late and bad­ ly.” This seems to me a very classic among opening sentences and a fair sample of her style. Thc Dance referred to in the title is or course the dance of Ute and the story l> by way of showing how one woman richly Joined it.

Payne, an old and respected resident of thte city, passed away Tues­ day morning, March 11, 1930. Although he had been In poor health for some time, hte death was very sudden. Only the day before he had been able to be about hte home and in hte customary, friendly way to receive and entertain hte friends. Because of this apparently favorable condition of hte health, hte sudden death was a great shock to hte many friends in the community. Mr. Payne was born on the paternal farm east of the city on July 11, 1862. He married Miss Edna Barnhart, March 6. 1881. who passed away in 1927. To thte union were bom two sons, Willie and Levi, the former dying in 1924. He te survived by hte son. Levi and wife, Gertrude of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Bertha Payne, wife of Willie, by his sister, Mrs. Lilly Pettit, and by four grandchildren and one great grand­ child. / . N Mr. Payne was always interested In public affairs and ready for the per­ formance of any duty hte fellow-citi­ zens imposed upon him. Since becom­ ing a resident of Hastings, in 1917, he has been n member of the common lng as aiderman from the first ward at the time of hte death. As. a member of the Masonic frater­ nity he was especially prominent, hold­ ing very ably and acceptably, many offices In Hastings Lodge No. 52. F. and A. M.; Hastings Chapter No. 68. R- A. M.; and Hastings Eastern Star Chapter No. 7. O. E. B. He was also a member of Giblum Council. No. 49. R. and fl. M. and at one time served on the Masonic Association. He was a past master ot the Blue Lodge, a past high priest of the Chapter and a past worthy patron of the Eastern Star.

Tho financial statement just released evidences' 1929 as thc most successful year in tho Company's history. To tho great public, whose enthusiastic nnd con­ tinued patronage hna made thia jtoasiblc, the Company returns appreciative thanks. To the army of 27.122 employes, who have so aNv curried out the policy of the Company In giving to tne public a OOmjJelo and satisfying service, much credit u» due. During the past year, this Company has taken n great stride forward by acquiring control of Pan ^American Petroleum nnd Transport Company and subaidiariea with ita five million acres of oil fan'll, thus providing an assured source of crude petroleum and securing expanded marketing facilities. This Company has likewise extended its market­ ing facilitiee in the great Hocky Mountain area through the Midwest Refining Company. Now the touring motorist will find Standard Oil Company (Indiana) emblems of friendly, satisfying aerviin in much naw territory. Tho n»>tori»to of the Middle West have been, cpiick to accept the New Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline, introduced late in 1929. They have grasi>e<l tho sig­ nificance of a fuel that meets perfectly the needs rd the new high compression engine and lends new life to the veterans of the highway. An accurate idea of the degree of acceptance hr the public of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) prod­ ucts is reflected in sales of 39.017,894 barrels of finished petroleum products In 1929 as compared with 35,432,806 barrels in 1928. The latest achievement of the Manufacturing Department is lhe development of a new motor oil—which finds expression in New Iso-Vis and New Polarine, being introduced with great promise to lhe public, coincident with the publication of this message. The sucreM of the Stock Purchasing Plan is emphasized by pointingout that after being in effect nine years, approximately 75% of the stock distrib­ uted under this plan remains in the hands of em­ ployes—which demonstrates the value of employe partnership. The Stock Purchasing Plan, lhe Annuit y Plan and the Death Benefit Plan constitute the mansgetnent's tangible expression of ita appreciation of the unwav­ ering loyalty and tireless efforts of lhe employes. The Board of Directors is gratified by the con■tanlly mounting number or stockholders—now 81,022. This is approximately 30,000 more than With this rapidly spreading ownership it i*enu certain that 1930 will be another year of achieve­ ment—greater in progress, greeter in opportunity to aerve the millions of people who call the Middle West home.

Carr, Assistant Extenston Director: . "Dear Sir. The writer understands that A iron t Paul Rnrsf that nair our CViimtv County Agent Rood han has resigned as such county agent, his resignation to take effect early in April. J am writing to ask you what plans are being made for a successor to Mr. Rood throughout the reft of the year 1930. for which the usual onefourth mill appropriation has been made? "If no plans have been made, what are the factors which seem to prevent the formulation and execution of such plans? 1 “What could and should be done to provide a successor to Mr. Rood, and I when should this be dqnr? “The writer Is Interested In having extension service coqtlnued. because he 1 believes it Is a matter of vital interest to the welfare ot this county—especially tn Ita am-loiiltiiral to Ila agricultural interest*. interests, which are the largest in this county. That is the reason why I have written you in re­ gard to this matter and will be pleased to hear from you at an early date." Our readers will be interested in Mr. Carr’s reply, which Is as follows:' "Your anxiety regarding plans for a successor to Mr. Rood as County Agent In Barry county, I can appreciate. “Your Board of Supervisors appoints a committee on agriculture but gives them no authority to handle extension A Sta tement of Policy To serve the Public —our policyholders — promptly and equitably; that is the aim of this Company and its reason for existence. It is common knowledge that the number ot motor vehicle accidents and fatalities even in pro­ portion to cara driven ia increasing yearly. This fact, more than anything elae, has brought home bile insurance. This fact, more than any other, account* for an almost annual upward revision of rates. Constant change* of condition* in the Automo­ bile Insurance business made evident to the 1929 Michigan Legislature that certain legislation wa* nice nary to protect the public. This Company anticipated four year* in advance of legislative action thc need for applying these safeguards. Any change* in rates, therefore, will continue to reflect only actual loss experience. Increases in rates will never be used for thc purpose of accu­ mulating reserves or surplus beyond the margin of absolute safety. As long a* thc need of Automobile Insurance continues, this Company will exist to fill that need with a service increasingly good—paying Cofit* to it* policyholder* in the form of the west possible rate* consistent with the kind of adjustment* to which they are entitled. V. V. Moulton, PrtiUmt. gduto-Owners INSURANCE COMPANY MICHIGAN matters. Consequently lhe hiring of an agent must be handled by the whole board, and they do not meet again until after Mr. Rood leaves. “At the time' they convened to con­ sider Mr. Rood's resignation the mat­ ter of a successor came up. Various supervisors mentioned the necessity of a real man to continue the kind of program needed in Barry county. They are right. Of course, the salary that your board has fejen paying an agent will not attract or hold the best agents tat least twenty-flve counties In the State pay more). It would, however, normally hire a good man who might develop into one of the beat. We have Several of this kind in mind* that we could“recommend to you, but all such men have Jobs now and would not be Interested ir. coming to Barry county with the extension horizon all clouded up. "Perhaps when your new board meets after election and after the people have voted they win be able to work out a plan for cooperating with the State and Federal Governments in the hiring of extension workers that will avoid a continuation of gnef we have had the past year and make the Job lock attractive tn another man. "The usual plan in other counties, after the Supervisors make the appro­ priation. is to give a committee of their own members authority to hire and handle other details of expenditures and program. This makes It easier to keep things running along smoothly. “I can see no way of avoiding some delay in getting another mafi In there. And I certainly hope the whole mat­ ter gets squared away so that we can go full steam ahead again. •We believe extension work has been of real value In Barry county, that there is much more to be don? and that there are plenty of people there with whom we can work to help wive farm problems." Our readers can understand why the State College authorities will hestitate about doing anything for Barry coun­ ty until we settle in the right .way the proposition of county extension work. If the majority of the voters shall ap­ prove. as we hope they will, there need be no doubt about the hearty coopera­ tion of the State College and the state agricultural extension service.

BAN 26,000 UNFIT CARS FROM ROADS Safety Plan to Coat One Mil­ lion Dollars in This Area Twenty-six thousand unfit automo­ biles will be removed from Michigan highways during the coming year under the national Highway Safety Plan, which ia being undertaken by the vari­ ous companies in the automobile in­ dustry. as announced by tiie National Chamber of Commerce. The program will Involve the expenditure of close to at,000.000 In this state. Nationally, the motor companies plan to scrap 400.­ 000 old automobiles in 1930, at a cost of about 115X100.000. The program is characterized as “perhaps the greatest single safety move in Industrial history." by Alvan Macauley. president of the Auto Cham­ ber. and former chairman of its Street Traffic Committee. "This widespread experiment will strike right at the heart of the unsafe vehicle problem by eliminating a huge block of those cars which are in the poorest condition." says Mr. Macauley. "The rattle-trap car is only one fac­ tor in the accident difficulty. Unsafe. Incompetent, and reckless drivers, as well as reckless pedestrians, cause a large proportion of the accidents. Blind curves and other highway defect* are also to blame. The Industry hopes, however, that this drive for the ex­ termination of unsafe cars will set a standard of action which will be help­ ful to the entire situation." One of the hazards of thc highway situation has been the rattle-trap car which keeps reappearing on the road after it has presumably been sent to thc discard. The alm ot this program is to guarantee the actual scrapping of the vehicle. The plan will be worked out by each company participating, in line with its general sales policies and the volume of Ita production. SOUTHWEST RUTLAND. Mr. and Mr*.

The plan is to have this a real community auditorium. The school may have occasional uses for if, but it is intended for a public auditor­ ium. for public gatherings of all kinds. So long as there are no objectionable features they will be welcome. It will be convenient for political gatherings, for entertainments put on by lodges, or any other organisation, snd for all types of large public meetings. The rental will be Just enough to cover the healing, lighting and janitor service. It Is not to be operated for profit, but as a sort of public utility. Hastings has long needed such a place. The present High school auditorium ought not to be used for these public purposes, because it is primarily intended as a session room for the High school pupils, and beckuse the High school itself has so many entertainments or gatherings which preclude its being opened to the public for general use. But that will not apply to the new auditorium. The school board have put themselves squarely on record in favor of the pub­ lic use of this new auditorium, have also agreed that there will be no charge for It when any entertainment Is put on with all the net proceeds for the benefit of some community proposition, like the hospital. Hastings can con­ gratulate Itself on having such an au­ ditorium provided in the new building. The board of education are entitled, to a great deal of credit for the result’ because of the open-handed, openminded way in ‘which they presented the issue. Every card was put on the table, face up. There was nothing con­ cealed. Everything was as 0|>en and plain as ■ unlight.

In fact before the census Is taken In April, a* much as possible. Governor Green and Superintendent of Education.

According to figure* given by the department there were, when the 1930 census was taken, a total number of M.046 Illiterates 10 years old or over in this, state. This included 14.172 native white Illiterate*, 70,535 foreign born whites, 2203 Illiterate negroes. 40411 males of voting age. 36.802 women ot voting age, 27,606 rural illiterates and 60,440 urbanites who were Illiterate. Of the 85.613 of voting age. all but 2.433 cast the ballot Tire percentage In the state is 30, which is much high­ er than It should be, Barry county was credited with 105 residents who could neither read nor write.

Then the dty will have an Investment of something nke 800,000. u Mayor Perry's plan Is carried out wt will not owe a dollar , at bonds, which will ba fine. The questton next comes: What will be the ally'* policy In handling the ex­ pense necessary to operate the sewage disposal plant? It will have cost the city 860.000. It will require the services ot same one to look after the pump and see that the disposal plant itself is operating properly. Pumps wear out; searage disposal plants deteriorate. It Is probably unwise to expect this city to take care of ths sewage from the homes, factories, and business places of Hea­ tings without compensation for lhe act­ ual expense of operation and also pro­ viding a fund for replacement*, which will be necessary from time to time How should this be done? That la an important question. Grand Rapids Is meeting this situa­ tion by a fixed charge, according to the sire of the home or business place, for caring for the sewage through its sewer system. Orand Rapids will have an Investment in its system of some­ thing likd 83,000.000. But that Is no more In proportion than Hastings will have In its 860400 plant. Grand Rapids is planning to fix the charge io that the revenue tram those who make use of the sewer system will pay for the cost of operation and upkeep. That seems a sensible thing to do. We have a considerable time yet in Hastings to decide what la the best way to handle this matter; but It ta something that thoughtful cillrens ought to be con­ sidering. with the view of reaching -a solution that will be fair and reason­ able: one that will take care of costa.

Our dty has several street* where tills could be sucssafully tried out. Part of lhe expenses would be borne by the taxpayers. The individual cow. would be comparatively small. The plan adopted In Van Buren county, after thorough test, amount* really to an asphalt paving, not so thick a* that used on streets In big dtlea The plan followed In Van Buren coun­ ty la first to grade the previously graveled highway, then thoroughly clean it by removing all the sand that might beontopoflLaoutogeta hard base. Then there is applied a coat­ ing of liquid asphalt. On top of that is placed a coat of crushsd lime rock, the particles being about the site 0( pea .v.. gravel. This M is rolled, —then another coaling of asphalt, followed by another coat of the crushed lime rock. This pro­ ceu Is carried on until there are five coats each of asphalt and Ums rock. It ' makes a paving from one and one-half to two inches thick. That is strong enough to handle all kinds of traffic except heavy trucking, which should always be limited to the eernent paving. Van Buren county finds that, to eover a road 16 to IS feet wide with this material, coats 82,000 per mile. Probably for a full width street the expanse would be 83.000 per ptlle, which would make the coat around 117 for a four rod frontage, which la vary much cheaper STUDENTS ENTERING than cement.

Thomas H. Frye, son of Michael and Fannie Frye, was born In Erie county. Pennsylvania. August 18, 1848, and passed away at his home near Doster March 13. 1930, aged 80 years, six months and 22 days. At the age of 16 he came with his parents to Michigan and settled on a farm near Cressey. In 1872 he was united in marriage to Laura A. Wilson. To them were born seven children, Irving. George. Ida. Edith. Frank. Charles and Edward George, Frank. Charles and Edward passed away in childhood. Edith mar­ ried and resides at Jackson, Michigan. Irving remained at home. With the ex­ ception of a four years residence at Augusta. Mr. Frye had made his home in Prairieville township. He was a man of strong will and inclined to be skep­ tical in tils views. Before deaiding he always viewed a problem from as many angles as possible. Having once decided. he was firm* In upholding his convic­ tions. He was very ambitious, a trait which even old- age could not curb. He loved tfuBic, especially the violin, which he learned to play when a boy. Late In life, he joined the Free Masons lodge at Orangeville and was later, with his fellow members, trans­ ferred to the lodge at Plainwell. He al­ ways enjoyed the meeting and regret­ ted that he had not become a member years before. Besides the family already men­ tioned. he leaves to mourn two sisters, Mrs. Charles Falley of Burbank.

The tariff controversy is a perfect illustration of much talk and little acUon. This, of course, is the way it should be from the political standpoint There Is no drama in sound economics and unbiased statesmanship. Rhetorical bickering is the stuff of which votes are made. But from the viewpoint of the wage­ earners. farmers and manufacturers of this country, the situation la a serious one. We cannot expand and progress to the limit of our potentialities eo tong as wc do not know what position we will be in competing with foreign jrroducers iu Hie American market. AH we can do is wait and hope. And. in lhe meantime, the tariff will remain one ot the main attractions of the political circus—a show held at public expense. ♦ At The Trio Cafe We buy only the Highest Grade and Best Foods and Materials A Splendid Menu Every Day Try the TRIO for a Good Meal B iMBSMtinBtck USED CAR SALE Saturday, March 29th A USED CAR OFFERED EACH HOUR OF THE DAY 8 to 9 A.

Matthew Perry Hall, youngest son of Perry and Nora Hall, was born Ln Rut­ land township. August 15. 1019. and passed away at Pennock hospital. March 15, 1230, age 10 years, 7 months. Matthew was the youngest of six chil­ dren and leaves to mourn, his loving parents, two brothers. Willard of Kal­ amazoo. Daniel of Hastings, three sis­ ters. Mrs. Mildred MUler of Hastings. Marjorie and Ruth at home, an aged grandfather, an aunt and uncle and one niece and one nephew. The teacher and school mates, they too will miss him- There will be a vacant seal. Hosts of neighbors and friends will miss his smiling face, for Matthew was a very bright and winsome little fellow and was Way beyond his years in seeing the bright side of life. He was ready and willing to go to be with Jesus, who said "Butler the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for auch is the kingdom of heaven and He took them Into His arms and biassed them." It seems like we can see him now. safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on his gentle breast. We know not why God picks our choicest bids only to btooaom in Hea­ ven. We can only bow in compliance to His will and wait the dawn (o a bet­ ter day when we shall meet never Today our hearts are sad and lonely.

Final figure* give the total attend­ ance a* 4510 for the four sessions. Last year the attendance was 5048 for five session*. The gate receipts amounted to 8109250. Included in this 81092.50 were 603 student season tickets at 50 dent*, 8301.50; 102 public season tick­ et* at 81.00, 1102.00; 1040 preliminary game ticket* at 35 cents. 8364.00 and 650 final game tickets at 50 cents. 8325.00. Out of this total were first deducted the expenses for referee*, trophlea, and balls, amounting to 8160.54. leaving a balance of 892256 to be divided as fol­ lows:—seventy per cent of the 8922.96, or 6546.07 was paid to the competing schools; 20 per cent. 8184.59, was paid to the entertaining school; 10 per cent, 192.30 went to the State Association, leaving a balance of 8328.37. The sum of 1348.27. or 75 per cent of this sur­ plus was paid to lhe State Association, leaving 882.10, or 25 per cent, for the Hastings school. This made the amount received by Hastings 826859. out of which was de­ ducted the local expenses, 863.03. leav­ ing 8203.68-from the gate receipts. Again this year the expenses of the visiting teams for meals, lodging, transportation, and entrance fee. were met 100 per cent. Added to the amount that the local school received from the admLulons, was the sum realised from the conces­ sions, making a grand total of 8288.90. so Hastings High did not fare so badly after all. Much credit is a)ao due Mr. Simmons for his careful and thorough planning and the economy with which the tournament was conducted. INTERESTING LETTER FROM MRS. F.

Townsend, the letter being written from Cong. J. C. Ketcham's office in Washington, D. C. "We were so glad to hear from you in Kissimmee. We were there four weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. We had a lovely apartment and were very cozy. Oranges and grape fruit were given us In abundance and bow I wished we could have sent some home, but the quarantine stopped that. "Leon has gained so much. He walks miles, drives the car. ploys golf. etc. “We have been having a fine time here and expect to leave Sunday morn­ ing for home. We will probably arrive Wednesday or Thursday. It certainly will be nice to be home again. "We left Kissimmee and drove to DeLeon Springs where a Minnesota friend lives, had a dandy visit and drove the next day to Daytona Beach. Saw Mr. Kaye Don and his Silver Bullet on the beach. His sister christened it that day. Our next stop was St. Augustine. Such an interest­ ing stop. Visited the alligator and os­ trich farm. 6,000 alligators—whew! One 900 years'old and another weighs 1,200 lbs. We visited old Fort Marion, the oldest house, slave market, city gates and drank from "The Fountain of Youth." Jacksonville was Just a big dty and so we only stayed over night. Savannah next and we visited an old Southern plantation. Saw our first oy'ter beds and as the tide was out, could see them very well. "Well, we are up in Mr. Ketcham's office and will go over and see the li­ brary. We had a launch trip over to Fort Sumter and Moultrie and it was very interesting.

The Women's club meeting of March 21, In charge of the Literature depart­ ment, was of unusual interest. "The Modern Novel as an Interpreter of Life" was the subject for the day's program, which was treated in a very capable and interesting manner by Miss Letitia Foster. The speaker quot­ ed the opinion of many of the leading critics On the modern novel and said that "each author writes of Ufe aa he sees it." "One is shown that the novel is contemporary social history, or a slice of the life" and time from which the au­ thor creates.” "That there Js a trend or period in Action as in architecture and furniture." Mrs. C. E. Orohe led in an informal discussion by asking ques­ tions pertaining to the modern novel. Burton and Mrs. L- L. Dewey. Current topics, ••Activities at Wash­ ington," by Mrs. H. J. Brown.

Thu curious title 1* derived from a designation of a style of architecture of the period, and. as much of the ac­ tion takes place in a house of this type. Mra.

Vance Weston. Undoubtedly something of Mrs. Wharton’s intellecutal adventurra and disappointments enters in and will prove most Interesting to gen­ uine lovers of her work, but structural­ ly and actually the story cannot be her Vance comes from a raw mid-wootarn town to live with some relatives near New York City. He is at the time too young and crude to know wliat he wants in life but he gets an idea when he b allowed to use the library In the old house. Filled with priceless tomes and irreplaceable manuscripts, it holds nggrly all the learning In the higher arts that the world affords. He Is seized with an Idea and ■ passion. He will show the world what he himself can do. The ancient, pitiful cry of. youth which the years so quickly । stifle I Shortly after that he meets Halo ; Trant, a lovely and brilliant girl who fulfills his ideal completely, but she is so far above him socially that he does not think of loving her. Halo marries a man of her own • world who haa Just gone into the pub­ lishing business. He sees possibilities in Vance and coldly proceeds to use him , In unethical ways to win a certain lit­ erary prize for the glory of his house. Vance marries his young and help­ less cousin. Laura Lou, and their pitiful attempts to achieve mental and spirit­ ual communion, bith being tempera­ mentally impossible to thep, are graphically portrayed. Then follows the inevitable drifting of Vance away from his wife and his equally inevi­ table. shamefaced returns. Laura Lou is not bitter or spiteful: she simply exudes the terrific force of helplessness.; the call of which the chivalry of men , can quite refuse. Mrs. Wharton works out this dlffi- [ cult situation exactly as It might work out in life, which Is. of course, the aim of good writing. The entire book la free from hysteria; It is not glittering as is "The Children" or set in sump­ tuous elegance aa is “Tiro Age of In­ nocence." It is the quite ordinary, ex­ cept for Vance's undeniable genius, story of quite ordinary people. It goes without saying that the book is perfect M to diction and construc­ tion. Mra. Wharton's consummate ar­ tistry assures one of that in any work of her’s. There have been few figure* in his­ tory more interesting than Abraham Lincoln. There have been few btoirraphera of the outstanding ability of Emil Ludwig. Consequently when Mr. Ludwig present* his study of the life of Lincoln, we have a highly interest­ ing piece of literature. The most important point about thU biography Is that it does exactly what it should. It reports faithfully on the man himself and leaves the times to historians. This seems to me most commendable. A man may be explained somewhat—his words and motives de­ lineated truthfully, and his history Mt down on paper. But when It comes to interpreting the times. Mr. Ludwig, be­ ing foreign-bom and shrewd, wisely leaves that to others. The result I* a remarkable and thrill­ ing story of Lincoln's life. We quote, for your amusement, the following from the "Saturday Review of Literature." "Good-bye To All Thatl” “The engaging title of Mr. Robert Grave's new book is far too good not to steal. Echoes of desire ring back to it from the weary mind. “Good-bye to all that! Good-bye to long dull stories of morons tangled in their own crude desires, stories pro­ claimed for their truth, as if liu ‘ruth really mattered. Good-bye to sexy nar­ rative* that go Just beyond decency and stop Just short of wk. Good-bye to de­ tective romances written by authors just ingenious enough to invent a plot that having no rational solution must be explained in a chapter of solid lead at the end—Good-bye to stories of young ladles who thought It right to go wrong. Good-bye to safari books with pictures of dead animals and bad­ ly nourished blacks. Good-bye to dull, flat cheap books precisely like a hun­ dred other dull, flat cheap books, with publishers* blurbs on the fie*, saying THIS is the book you have been wait­ ing for, tills is literature! Good-bye to that Good-bye to nasty stories of nasty boys and girls who In the imagination of the usually middle-aged author do whatever they do nastily. Good-bye to all tha‘. and to him too, for the boys and girl* are getting old enough to write about themselves, and their re­ port* are quite different." BOOKS RECENTLY ADDED TO THE L1BBARY. Fiction.

Mr. Keer collided with an­ other car at a street intersection in Durand.

TRIP GIVEN Lost week 58 boys and men from Michigan took a trip through the south visiting eight different states and many points of Interest in that section of the country. Nine of the boys and two of the men were from Barry county. Those from Barry county who made the trip were Mr. Angell, Hdmcr Bauchman, Walter Heath. Carl Wesplntcr, and Cranston Wilcox of Hastings, Mr. McClure. Clifton Baxter, Carl Brown, and George Wotring of Nashville, and Donald Perkins of Freeport. The entire group of 58 started out Monday morning. March 24. In eleven cars and drove to Fort Wayne. Indiana, for lunch, after which they drove to Louisville, Kentucky. Monday night the boys stayed in the Y. M. C. A. in Louisville where they slept on mats In the gymnasium. After breakfast Tues­ day morning the group set out again. At Bardstown. Kentucky, several of the cars took the wrong road but they were fortunate for they visited the place where Stephen Collins Foster wrote several of hls songs, one of which is "My Old Kentucky Home." The homestead bears this name. It & a typical mansion of thp south and the house' and grounds interested the boys greatly. The cars then went back to Bards­ town and took the correct road to Hodgensville. five miles from which Is Lincoln's birthplace. The log cabin In which Lincoln was bom is still In the ■ I I 1 1 । | ' | bom but it is enclosed by another building to protect It. At the bottom of the hill upon which the house Is situat­ ed |s the well where Abrahain Lincoln got water. Of course everyone drank some of the water from this well. The cave district was then visited and the entire company ate in Cave City in the midst of the caves. Immediately after lunch they left for the famous Mam­ moth Cave. After registering and purchasing tickets each person was given a lantern and everybody entered the cave. The different rooms, all of which were named, were visited amidst much winding in and out among the rocks and the stairs led down to a depth of about 350 feet below the sur­ face. The most interesting parts of the cave were the frozen Niagara Falls and ] Crystal River. Onyx formations that were almost perfect replica of Niagara Falls were seen. This was made more attractive by the use of flood lights. Crystal River is a river 400 feet be­ low the surface In which the famous blind fish live. Everyone took a boat ride on lhe river and the fish could be seen swimming around In the water. [ The outlet of the cave was about three miles from the entrance and the boys were taken back In autos. Leaving Mammoth Cave, the fellows | started for Bowling Green. Kentucky. । where they ate. They then set out for j Nashville. Tenn., where- they stayed for t£e night. After breakfast the next morning, the group left for Florence, Alabama. Many of .the fine southern mansions were seen on this trip. The attraction nt Florence Is Muscle Shoals, which is I a short distance out of the city. The cars drove over the mile bridge which Is directly over the huge dam. The huge power house In which it Is possible to develop 610.000 horse-]x»wer was visited and ttye boys got a close-up view of the immense dam. From Muscle Shoals the route led across Alabama and Ten­ nessee and through the mountains to Chattanooga. Thursday, the day was spent in sight-seeing around Chattanooga. Many of lhe most famous battle-fields of the Civil war were visited Two buses took the entire group to Mission­ ary Ridge. Lookout Mountain, arid Chickamauga. Ga„ in the morning. Most of the boys took the incline rail­ way up Lookout Mountain. The track lends up the mountain al a 72.7 degree angle. Everyone was excited for fear that the cable might break. Thu^day afternoon some of the fellows took an­ other trip around the city. They visit­ ed one of the large cotton mills and saw cotton made into thread. Other places of especial interest in Chatha* nooga were visited. On Friday morning the group started for Knoxville. Tenn., where according to schedule they were to stay for the night. Arriving there about noon it was decided to go on farther. Cumber­ land Gap was traversed and the route led for a short distance through Vir­ ginia. Many of the more ambitious boys climbed one of the Ciunbcrland mountains near the Gap. By some misunderstanding part of the group stayed in Berea and part of It in Lexington. Kentucky. Friday night. Those who stayed in Berea visited Berea college for mountain whites Saturday morning. The fellows who slept in Lexington visited the large race tracks and saw Man O' War. the famous racehorse. They also visit­ ed Henry Clay's home. The entire group ate in Lexington at noon and in the afternoon drove to Cincinnati. Sunday morning the trip from Cin­ cinnati to Dayton was made before breakfast. Alter breakfast everyone started for home Thd Hastings dele­ gation arrived home about 4:30 Sun­ day afternoon.

ENUMERATORS BE­ GIN CEJSU5 IMG Every Hastings Voter Is Interested In Facte Taken From the Official Records of This City Showing What Has Been Ac­ complished in the Past Six Years ofSuccessful Administration of City Affairs on the "Pav-As- We-Co” Plan, Introduced by and Carried Out Under Mayor Perry. So We Know This Will Interest YOU WORK STARTS TODAY, APR. j 2, IN EVERY SECTION OF THESE UNITED STATES March IS, 1*24, The City of Hasting, owed on Paving Bond., the cum of____ $36,366.05 March 15, 1930, Thi.

Bonded Debt Ha* Been Reduced in Six Year*_ 29,809.90 That Mean, a Yearly Sav­ ing in Intere.t at 5% of Nearly______________ 1,500.00 The City now has in its Interest and Sinking Fund in cash, the sum of $4,500.34, as shown by the City Treas­ urer’s report, to apply on the $6,556.15 of outstanding bonds. The difference of $2,055.81 will be more than made up by what the property owners, living on the paved street for which the paving bonds were issued, will pay as their share of the cost of paving. Thus it can be seen that while there are $6,556.15 of outstanding bonds owed by the city, this city now has in the sink­ ing fund more than enough to pay its share of them. The bonds will be re­ tired this year and next. HASTINGS CITY IS, THEREFORE, OUT OF DEBT. WE OWE THIS TO THE WISE AND CAREFUL MANAGE­ MENT OF OUR CITY AFFAIRS UN­ DER MAYOR PERRY. In the last three years 70 rods on East Mill street, 60 rods on South Broadway, 70 rods on South Jefferson have been paved with cement, a total of 200 rods; also 200 rods of Tarmac laid; AND NO BONDS SOLD to pay for them. There is a cash balance of $3,113.25 on hand in the paving fund, and $5,886.92 is due to the city from property owners, on parts of the above streets that have been paved as their share of the cost of pav­ ing. So the city now has in cash and due from property owners mentioned above enough to pave 160 rods more, without selling bonds. In other words, we are getting our main travelled streets paved without bonding under the pay-as-we-go plan. In 1925 this city was notified by the State Board of Health and by the State Department of Conservation that it must build a sewage disposal plant and cease to dump sewage into the Thornapple river. The order required that this be done within a limit of five or six years. Such a plant would cost $60,000.00 for nearly four miles of sanitary sewers, a sewer pumping plant, connections and the disposal plant. Our city got busy, has completed the line of sewers, con­ nected them up, representing an outlay of $25,000.00. It has over $15,000.00 in cash on hand, as shown by the city treasurer’s report, to pay for the build­ ing of a pump house, the purchase of a sower pump and the building of the foundations for the disposal plant. With the city tax levy of next July and the levy made in July 1931, the balance to complete our sewage disposal plant will be raised, the plant will be built in 1981, and NOT A DOLLAR OF BONDS SOLD. Had Hastings done as other cities do, wo would have sold $60,000.00 bonds and be paying $3,000.00 a year interest. You, Hastings Citizens, are dyeing saved that $3,000.00 by the wise, careful and helpful- administration we have had in Hastings for the past six years under Mayor Perry. • While our city has been paying about $30,000.00 of bonds and investing $40,- 000.00 in a sewer system—which the state required us to build—all done un­ der the ieadershiip of Mayor Perry— we have not neglected other needed city improvements. ' In the past six years over seven miles of our city streets have been graded and gravelled; over two miles of new side­ walks constructed; over three miles of streets curbed and guttered. The streets of Hastings have never been in as good condition as right now. Mayor Perry has interested himself in getting the State Highway Department to do several miles of cement paving within this city on the State trunk lines, and with other citizens has, at his own expense, made many trips to Lansing to urge and se­ cure such paving. In that six years the water mains have been largely extended. The city is now investing about $5,000.00 in a new elec­ tric pumping plant—and the city has the cash to pay for it. Not a dollar needs to be borrowed. When Mayor Perry was first elected Mayor in 1924, the treasurer’s report showed several of the city funds over­ drawn. Tho City Treasurer’s report on March 15, this year, shows a NICE CASH BALANCE IN EVERY CITY FUND, AMPLE TO LAST UNTIL AU­ GUST 1 NEXT WHEN THE CITY TAX LEVIED NEXT JULY, WILL BE AVAIL­ ABLE. The city tax rate is as fixed by our charter since Mayor Perry was elected Mayor in 1924. While we are pay­ ing larger taxes in Hastings, we are not paying more city taxes. The increase is due to increased state, county and road taxes. Neither the school nor city taxes have been increased. Would it not be wise, and is it not due to Mayor Perry to re-elect him this year, so that he cah see the sewer project through to completion? The record of six years shows what kind of an administration we can expect for the next two years if Mayor Perry shall be re-elected. When we have a Mayor who gives such painstaking attention to the inter­ ests of this city, and he is willing to ac­ cept it for another term, is it not wise to keep him on the job? We have had six years of his careful management on the pay-as-we-go plan. Is it not for the city’s interest and for your interest to keep him working for the benefit of this city for another ^erm? We think so. Would the owners of any factory or business let an executive go if, in six years he had kept all its affairs running smoothly, paid all the debts including all its bonds, kept the plant in good working order, added several thousands of dollars to its equipment, made many expensive permanent improvements in the plant itself, and at the end of six years had the cash on hand to meet the needs of the factory or business for sev­ eral months to come? Can you imagine the stockholders of any business letting such an executive go if he were willing to remain? You know they would keep that kind of an executive. Will it not be wise for Hastings to re­ tain the services of Mayor Perry as our city’s executive for another term because of the outstanding record he has made?

The Banner has ex­ plained before that our .county has $377,000 of outstanding rood bonds, drawing five per cent interest, or $18,500 a year. We see no reason why the county could not con­ duct this activity on the pay-as-you-go plan the same as the city of Hastings is doing, and that $18,500 of Interest would thus be saved. The figures have been published over the signature of County Clerk Hili proving that the entire cost to the county ot the county extension work was $5,400 in 1929. Of that amount the city of Hastings paid 27 per cent. In addition, we have received from the state $3,600 cash to be applied on sal­ aries of the two County Extension workers and substantially $2,000 worth of expert help, counting the actual lime salaries and traveling and other expenses.

Feeds! Eggs are down, and it is a hard matter to make a fair profit raising poultry. The principal item in the expense of raising poultry is the cost of feed, and another heavy.item is that some­ times there is a very serious loss when the chicks are small. The Michigan Farm Bureau has developed a feed that covers these points very'nicely. Their NEW MER-AL-MASH STARTER retails for less than three dollars a hundred, grows fine, large, healthy chickens, with bright eyes and robust yellow legs, pushes them along rapidly, and the mortality is remarkably light.

It is believed that planning and working through such a period will give both a more consequential and more economical result than as though the efforts were a year by year, piece­ meal operation. Tlie five year plan has been out­ lined largely with a view to the funds that it is estimated will be available. Keeping a close relationship between funds and performance, it Is (elt. will eventually deliver to the state a wellrounded system, duly paid for. The estimate of receipts on which the highway department Is basing its construdtive program is made up sub­ stantially as follows. On the basis of showings made in recent years. It is estimated that the number of motor vehicles to register will increase from 1.530,000. in 1929, to likely 1.810.000 by the year 1935. It is further estimated, on lhe basis of experience, that the average weight tax will range from an average of (15.80 In The year 1931 to on average of (16.35 in the year 1935. Reasoning similarly with respect to the gasoline tax, it is found that the average for 1931 will likely be (15.35 while in the year 1935 it will be (15.(0 a vehicle. Changing averages per car to expected totals, It is estimated that the weight and gasoline tax will have yielded (47,700,000 by the coming tn of 1931. By 1935 it lx estimated the re­ turns from the two sources will amount to (58.200000. While the Increase of expected re­ ceipts will be considerable during the five year period, yet the fixed charges, which must first be met out of high­ way funds, will Increase os well, Tak­ ing into account the fixed charges, it Is estimated that there wiU be left the sum of (24.200.000 for extension work by 1931. Going on through the five year period it is similarly estimated that there will be left, after fixed charges are paid, at the beginning of 1935 the sum ot (28050.000. While there will be something ot an increase in funds available for construction by 1KJ5. yet In the light of growing needs, such as grade separation, highway widening and the like, the Increase will not be at all in excess ot the expected need. Unless the highway laws remain sub­ stantially as at present, and unless the department can be left to estimate lhe funds which will be available, it is asserted that it will be quite impossible to carry out a program to run through a period of years. Unless there can be continuity of effort, the work ot one season merging into tv-t of (he next, the state highway effort cannot be carried forward with anything like the economy of time, effort and money that results from a program.

This morning when I drove to school Edna and I were acting like perfect fools. All at once the car did skid And we were more scared than a little kid. Sure enough we had a "flat." We had to change it and that was that. We clambered out and out. And began running round about. She grabbed the wrench and I the "jack." We thought sure we’d picked up a tack. The only jack-handle we had was a chisel We were almost sure it would be a fizzle. To set the Jack, we dug a hole Something like a little ground mole. We reared up that little old car But it didn't seem to go very far. Oh baby, was I mad? To hear me talk would make you sad. Edna giggled and laughed out loud And I blowed up like a great rain cloud. We yanked and twisted the darned old thing. Till I tho't sure it would all go blng. ' Finally the blamed old thing came off. We were so dirty It made us laugh. I hoisted up that old bock end. (We were so stiff we couldn't bend) Finally we got the old tire in And how we did Jump in merry din. We put all the tools under the seat Then we cleaned off our dirty feet.

While the collection Is pro­ । tected w-cw-u by oy insurance for ror fourteen iwsieen milmulion pounds—seventy million dollars in ; American money—the monetary value I of such pictures cannot be- estimated.

Raphael's, Maddelena Doni and the Leonardo sketches, would easily bring that sum. Supplementing Italy's premier collec­ tion are forty canvases from the United States and as many more from European galleries as well as England's own and the cream of King George's famous collection from Windsor and Buckingham palaces, including the Leonardo drawings. When we recall the vast sums of money that have been trekking across the Atlantic since 1800 from America for Italian masters, we mny know that the United States is represented by a very rich and gorgeous collection. Aside from our great galleries. Clarence Mackay, Pierpont Morgan, the Wldeners and many other American miliionaires are represented here. Mr. Mor­ gan's "Giovanna Tournabuoni" critics declare to be the most perfect of all iGhlrlandaJo's: Mr. Mackay's Botti[ celli's. Portrait of a Young Man is । probably the most characteristic of all 'that prized artist's paintings; Mr. [ Ralph Booth's. Portrait of a Youth by one of Milan's old masters, Boltraffio, Royal Cortlssoz declares "will prove one of tiie outstanding episodes of the show.” . ■ The latter was one of the pictures 1 remember marking when I went through the rooms because of its per­ sonal attraction to me. and being from Michigan I was naturally interested that it was owned by a Detroit man. Some enthusiasts were all for mak­ ing an effort to bring the entire col­ lection to America, but wiser heads concluded the risk was too great, that the loss of any of them would Im­ poverish the world. We could as­ semble right here In America a collec­ tion of Italian masterpieces that would “startle the world” only a bit less than the great London exhibition. The exhibit opened on New Year's day with a private showing and many speeches, the Royal family being rep­ resented by the Duke and Duchess of York. We were leaving for home the ninth so we went a few days after the opening. And such crowds as we en­ countered I I remember it as the moat exhausting and fatiguing day of my whole four months abroad. The rooms were soon crowded to suffocation. It was the only place in London where I found the air hot and stifling. But I shall always remember some of the great canvases I saw and had I been in London longer I would have gone 1 many times. Just as I was able to do in i Paris at the Louvre. The great value at course of this | particular exhibit was the assembling 1 of pictures from all over the world, en­ abling students and artists to study and । compare the work of certain painters side by side, possible before only by travelling long distances.

In other words doing the Job right in the beginning is reasonably wc.l as­ sured. In the entire country 120,000 census enumerators began their work Monday.

The results will be compiled as rapidly as iiossible when the returns rbach Washington. Two weeks are allotted to the enumerators to complete their work. When the task is completed, the cen­ sus takers will have had enough Inter­ esting and laughable, as well as dis­ gusting. experiences to make a book.

He felt cer­ tain. he said, that the Michigan Univer­ sity would have the finest athletic field and equipment of any collage or uni­ versity In the country. That is hls mission and that Is why he came back to Um> University after he felt that hls work as a coach had been finished. In talking to the young people he stressed the necessity of being strictly honest. A He never can gel anyone anyhere, he said. He said that he would no more think of letting a liar become a member of hls football team than lie would of chooeing a burglar. The liar might not do as great harm to others, but he would be a menace to the team. He had learned from obaervation and experience that if a person will lie for you he will also He about you. so could never be depended upon. He said that tricks and underhanded methods would never get a boy any­ where. He had never permitted a per­ son who thought he could get by with tricks to have any part on hls football teams. One never could tell where he would find such a person. He wanted on hls football teams young jnen who could be depended upon and ready to deliver their best at all times. He wanted young men too for hls football teams who are clean in their lives— fellows who use clean speech, stand for clean things and come clean with any­ thing they undertake. And then prac­ tice. not alone the physical exercises to keep the body fit. but also the vir­ tues of honesty, cleanness and fair dealing.

When he concluded'his address, which he called "a visit with the young folks." he was heartily and enthusiastically applauded, evidencing their approval of the fine things he had said. Mr. Yost stated that he started out in life with a fixed purpose to do cer­ tain definite things; He wanted to build a good, sound, strong body and live a clean, wholesome physical life; he wanted to get a good education, so that he could make hls life as efficient as possible; he wanted to gain a charKit .Sm W iS? »"y emoMoiul round.. nor p.rueul».l> »hii because of the morals or lack of morals Vthat hJwiulrt live holt!

The principal item in the expense of raising poultry is the coat of feed, and another heavy item is that some­ times there is-a very serious loss when the chicks are small. The Michigan Farm Bureau has developed a feed that covers these points very nicely. Their NEW MER-AL-MASH STARTER retails for less than three dollars a hundred, grows fine, large, healthy chickens, with bright eyes and robust yellow legs, pushes them along rapidly, and the mortality is remarkably light. The price is less than oatmeal, and it is a fully bal­ anced ration. Come in and learn about it. HASTINGSICO OPERATIVE ELEVATOR ASSN HASTINGS, MICHIGAN ATTENDANCE DRIVE.

We get money and go ahead and spend it, thinking that things “will come out all right anyway." Each year finds us no bet­ ter off than we were the year before; the years fly by; gray hairs commence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the family. Then it is that we face the specter of old age; without income and without means. This little statement sums up the life experience of a large number of people, llie AIM of this Bank is to be helpful—to render genuine SERVICE. That’s a PART of OUR BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire if you have ever ASKED YOURSELF these questions:— DO I KNOW MY FINANCIAL CONDITION? 'AM I GETTING AHEAD, JUST KEEPING EVEN OR AM I RUNNING IN DEBT?” We can HELP YOU get in a better financial condition. Open a Savings Account with us and add to it as much as you can each week or month. At the end of the FIRST YEAR you will see how EASY it is to GET AHEAD and KEEP AHEAD.

I cannot imagine a more interesting contrast than these two books present.' Both arc novels of unusual distinction and have had a wide acceptance among the public. FEDERAL JOBS OPEN.

When one stops to think that these two Purposes and Aims are worked out to success­ ful operation in our own local Building and Loan Association they create a feeling of pride that inspires one to support such an institution. Tf.’ .. , Lnnuiql hve.uwil New finds of gas have recently been made in the Mt. Pleasant area. Wheth­ er the stores of gas they indicate are large enough for commercial develop­ ment and utilization remain to be demonstrated by further drilling. These Hnd4 have been made in territory dis­ tinctly apart from the proved oil field. Tiie territory lies west and north of ML Pleasant, whereas the oil field is six miles east of Mt. Pleasant. The first gas well was brought in last October on the McKay ranch in Grant township. Clare county, about twenty-one miles northwest >of, Mt. Pleasant and six miles northwest of Clare. This is known as the James A. McKay and J. A. Mercier No. 1 McKay well. It struck dry was at a depth of 1,408 feet in the top 0( the Marshall sands. The well was gauged at 3,­ 500,000 cubic feet per day. The well wm capped but gM from it is being used for domestic purposes on the McKay ranch. An offset well. No. 2 McKay, was drilled not far from the first well and this struck dry gM in the Marshall sands late in February. The flow was gauged at about 500,000 cubic feet per day, but the wqli went almost Immedi­ ately into salt water. Dry rm in considerable quantities wm struck on February 8 in a wildcat well being drilled by the Isabella Oil Development Company in Broomfield township, Isabella county, about four­ teen miles west of ML Pleasant and some twenty miles west of the Mt. Pleasant-Midland oil field. The well is known as No. 1 M. D. Keeler-Mltchell. NW NM 012-16N-6W, Broomfield township, Isabella county. Dry gas was first struck in thc top of the Mar­ shall sands at. 1324 feet The initial flow was gauged at 7,500.000 cubic feet per day. Drilling was continued eight feet farther to 1332 feel, and on February 11, an estimated flow of 10.000,000 cubic feet was struck. The well was capped. McKay well and the KeelerIl well are about twenty miles anart. A third showing of gas in this terri­ tory wm made on February 25 In Sec­ tion 31, Vernon township. Isabella county, about ten miles northwest of ML Pleasant and two miles north and three miles west of Rosebush. The well, known m McManaman No. 1 of the Uhl - Survey - Raymer Company, struck gas at the top of the Marshall sands. Water filled the well to the depth of 1.200 feet and was blown out by the force of the'gas. The well con­ tinued to spout water far over the top of the derrick at ten minute Intervals. The water drowned out the gas, and drilling has been continued in the well. & EAJTEK FLOWER/ Most Delightful Display of Easter Lilies Ever Shown in Hastings Let Easter Lilies Express Your Easter Greetings We Have Provided An Especially Fine Stock of Strong, Hardy Easter Lilies for This Occasion POTTED ll AMf The finding of oil and natural gas; at widely separated points in the Mt. I for Your Consideration / Pleasant area Indicates the possibility । of more extensive underground re-1' sources than were found at Muskegon.; The Muskegon proved field is con-‘' fined to two adjoining townships. Mus- < ■ kegon and Laketon. It is about four;, miles long and varies tn width from! half a mile to a mile. Both the oil ' and gas finds were made in this small territory. The proved oil field at Mt. Pleasant’ is already larger In area than the Mus-: kegon field and Its limits have not yet! been determined by dry wells. More-1 ovex wildcat wells outside the proved' field struck oil. The gas wells in the! Mt. Pleasant area are miles apart from the proved oil field. The amounts of natural gM that had ■ been found up to April 1 were not large enough to warrant commercial development through the construction of pipe lines to Mt. Pleasant and Clare, . the nearest available markets. Making natural gas available to con­ sumers on a commercial basis Involves several essential considerations. Pint, the supply must be sufficient to Justify the large expense involved in taking It to market Second, the supply must be so de­ pendable and so lasting that operating companies and consumers alike will be economically wise in investing in the changes and In the equipment neces­ sary to use natural gM instead of manufactured gM. Failure of natural gas. after It is once installed, would mean a large wastage of money. Third, there must be ample reserves to maintain the supply after the first Taking natural gM to a town before a dependable supply has been developed is liable to cost that town dear, as the experience of various American cities his demonstrated. Michigan gM companies are in close touch with operations In the Mt. Pleas­ ant area. Should further drilling prove the existence of natural gM in eco­ nomic abundance, they doubtless will take step® to make it available to com­ munities within practical reaching dis­ tance. The promptness with which the new gas wells have been capped indicates the probability of a wiser and more business-like handling ot the natural gM situation in the Mt.

Just plain ig­ norance and neglect are the causes of the loss of so much fruit. There are many who doubtless do not know why their fruit trees, vines and bushes do not produce. There are others who do know and take no steps to improve the conditions. The insects that do the great damage to fruit during the blooming period are the “eating” insects, and scientists tell us—and experience has proven—that The season of fruit bloom is at hand and in a few days the trees will be a mass of beauty.—Then is the vital period.—Millions of buds and lilossoms will be destroyed by destructive little insects and the fruit crop lost or badly damaged unless these insects are killed.

For Oldsmobile and Viking owners are quick to express their satisfaction . . . always ready and eager to rec­ ommend Oldsmobile and Viking to their friends and neighbors. Assuredly it takes more than mere close acquaintance with a motor car to build such loyalty. And both Oldsmobile and Viking have that “something more" in a measure above the ordinary. Brilliant performance — st high speeds or hard pulling — in every phase of motoring. Restful riding comfort and ease ofcontrol over every type ofroad. Continued economy that becomes more apparent as time goes on. Thoroughgoing dependability over the months and the miles. These are the things that create friendship for Oldsmobile and Viking. These, plus the vitally important factor of honest value. If you wish to learn more about the qualities of either of these two fine cars, inquire among your friends who drive them. Then'come and see Olds­ mobile and Viking yourself. Drive them and know what they can do. Prove to your personal satisfaction that each is a great car—a real value—at its price.

And it lasts longer, because of fine materials, oversize parts and a big, smooth, 50-horsepower six-cylinder engine that always “takes it easy.” With all its six-cylinder smoothness and power the New Chevrolet Six saves 'gasoline and oil, through modern efficiency—overhead valves —high compression power—latest carburetor—long-wearing pistons— crankcase ventilation—air 'cleaner. Thus Chevrolet brings truly modem transportation within reach of ali who can afford any car. Chevrolet economy also means sincerity in manufacture. To illustrate: by hydraulic shock absorbed. They are mounted lengthwise, in thedlreftion of car travel, with self-adjusting spring shackles to maintain quiet. Modem low suspension and extra wheelbase give the Chevrolet Six good proportions. The front view is distinguished by the honeycomb radiator. The gasoline tank is at the rear for safety and finer appearance. Chevrolet beauty Instantly says “Body by Fisher’ ’—style, quiet, safety —Fisher composite steel-and-wood construction—non-glare windshield —adjustable driver’s seat—deeper cushions—greater leg room—clearer vision—finer fabrics and fitments. There is just as much extra value throughout. BY ANY STANDARD the Chevrolet Six is the wisest choice in the low-price field ... with Its sixcylinder valve-in-head motor . . . with full scientific equipment . . . with Body by Fisher . . . with four long semi-elliptic springs, long wbeelb«fe> Iow suspension,- rear­ mounted gasoline tank, honeycomb radiator and all the other features of this day and age. Chevrolet valves are adjustable—to save replacing. Chevrolet molded brake lininggreatly reduces brake up­ keep. The rear axle inspection plate on the Chevrolet means accessibility.

Building Bean Ita Tower 025 Feet Into the Air Where will constructors stop In their teeming race to attain the greatest heights In putting up Immense office buildings» Really the "sky seems to be the limit," This' contest started only a little over 40 years ago tn the city of New York, when the Tower Building was built. This was the first aky scraper with a steel skeleton frame, and towered up­ ward to the dizzy height of 11 stories. It was the laughing stock of the dty, and IM safety was so sincerely doubted that, for a while, people used to walk around the block, fearing that the building would fall down on them. The architect,1 however, had a different no­ tion. and was so confident of hi* work that he rented offices on the top floor, and continued there for the next 20 years. Inasmuch as the "Tower Building” didn't fall down, and really proved a good Investment, about 20 years later the famous “Flatiron Building." so called because of the peculiar shape of the lot on which it was built, was erect­ ed. This building rose to the unprece­ dented height of 280 feet, and was 20 stories high. The Binger Building. 012 feet to the top of Its flagpole, built in 1907. was followed by the Metropolitan Building a year later. 057 feet high. Four years later the famous Wool- I worth Building, with IU M stories oftenable space, was built, and IM ob- । servatory floor 727 feet above the City Hall Park. The Woolworth Building was sup­ posed to be about the. limit to which building would go, but to-day it is topped by the Chrysler Building. 783 feet high, and the new Manhattan Company Building, rearing its tower 925 feet into the air. IU lofty obser­ vation tower Is 845 feet above the street level, and to-day It Is the tallest building In America. The Manhattan Building stands as a monument of accuracy and precision. While construction work was going on even the . heat of the sun, and IM effect upon the thousands of steel girders was computed, lest It throw this huge 'structure even the least bit out of per­ pendicular. Due allowance was also made for windstorms of 100 mllos per hour velocity, which would beat against the tower. 925 feet up In the air. How long the Manhattan Building wlll stand supreme as to height la a question. but probably not for very long, u it 15 reported lhat New Yorkers are already planning for a building 130 stories high, which will reach a height of over 1 JOO feet—or nearly a quarter of a mile.

Enrollments in the contest will be accepted by the animal husbandry de­ partment of Michigan State College or by county agricultural agents until May 31. ^Entrants in the contest must have flocks of 20 or more ewes. Breeders from 42 counties have al­ ready entered tlie contest. The size of their flocks range from 20 to 280 ewes. The breeds represented are Shropshire, Oxford. Hampshire, De­ laine, Rambouillet, Lincoln. Black Top Deliane, Cheviot. Dorset, and Karakul. No special methods of handling the contest flocks are required except that the necessary practices for producing first quality market lambs must be em­ ployed. Docking is one of these re­ quirements. In addition to Michigan State Col­ lege. the Michigan Parmer, the Michi­ gan Purebred Sheep Breeders' Associa­ tion. and several Detroit livestock com­ mission firms are promoting the con­ test. which is intended to improve the quality of lambs marketed by Michigan owners. Ask Yourself These' Questioi THEN DO A LITTLE THINKING The trouble with too many of us is that we do not give enough consideration to our finan­ cial affairs. We get money and go ahead and spend it, thinking that things ‘‘will come out all right anyway.” Each year finds us no bet­ ter off than we were the year before; the years fly by; gray hairs commence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the fam- ily. Then it is that we face the specter of old age; without income and without means. This little statement sums up the life experience of a large number of people. The AIM of this Bank is to be helpful—to render genuine SERVICE. That's a PART of OUR BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire if you have ever ASKED YOURSELF these questions:— DO I KNOW MY FINANCIAL CONDITION? AM I GETTING AHEAD, JUST KEEPING EVEN OR AM I RUNNING IN DEBT?” We can HELP YOU get in a better financial condition. Open a Savings Account with us and add to it as much as you can each week or month. At the end of the FIRST YEAR you will see how EASY it is to GET AHEAD and KEEP AHEAD. We will always be glad to advise with you. or render you any service that we can.

HALL Michigan �ns ■mrcni wdockb, wbbnudat, mu u, mn for Economical Transportation CHEVROLET/j It’s wise to choose a SIX/ There Is one sure way to get greater value in a low-priced car today— choose a Six! ™* greater value la liutantly obvious when you drive a Chevrolet Six. You notice first of all its greater smoothness. There is no tremor in the steering wheel—no rattle in the floor boards—no rumble or drumming in the body. In addition to the finer perform­ ance of its six-cylinder motor, the new Chevrolet gives you truly remarkable economy. Its six-cylinder smoothness saves the entire car from the strain and wear of vibration. Tills, of course, lowers the cost of maintenance ana assures a longer-lasting, longersatisfying automobile. From the standpoint of operating expense, Chevrolet is equally eco­ nomical. No other automobile con­ sumes less gasolineand oil. Noother shows a lower expense for tires. And no other car costs less for service. Because of its modem engineering, Chevrolet also assures a high re­ sale value. Chevrolet gives you fully-enclosed, weather-proof, 4-wheel brakes; a modern fuel system—with the gasoline tank mounted in the rear; four long semi-elliptic springs, mounted lengthwise in the direc­ tion of car travel. It gives you beautiful Fisher bodies built of combination hardwood-and-steel. It gives you a heavy, rigidly-braced channel-steel frame. And it gives you a full ball bearing steering mechanism. Before you decide on any car in the low-price field, see and drive the Chevrolet Six. The more thor­ oughly you Investigate, the more certain you are to conclude that it’s wise to choose a Six—for value, for performance . . . and for eco­ nomical transportation!

Smashing Proof ...of greatest value As established in Continent-wide tests, by 5,000 New Essex Challengers All motordom saw the amazing results of Challenger Week. The New Essex Challenger set outstanding marks in every locality. It climbed hills seldom attempted by any car. It set new marks for acceleration. It established economy results never before associated with such performance. It made inter-city reliability and endurance runs that take place with the industry’s great marks. These feats were established — not by just a few hand-picked specially tuned cars —but 5,000 Essex Challengers in all parts of the country, many of them owner-driven. The results speak for what any and every New Essex Challenger can do. Wc continue our invitation to . ° Ride—Ride—Ride! Know frojn personal experience what this brilliant New Essex Challenger can do.

Announcement of it was delayed 6 months to give it the most thorough tests possible in actual use. We can now definitely make the following statements: 1, New Iso-Vis means less wear on every movingpartoj the automobile engine. 9. It does not "thin out” with use. 3* It gives effective lubrication over a wider range oj temperatures—both high and low. 4. It means a radical reduction oj car­ bon deposits—jar less than in most premium-priced oils. With New Iso-Vis you get a type of lubrication* that has not been possible before, regard! ess the kind of oil you have used. Hundreds of of practically every make and model, were used in road tens under th* toughest condi­ tions possible, to prove the superior value of New Iso-Vis'as a motor lubricant. These rigid test* were suc­ cessful even beyond our expectations. The 4 point* at the right give the detail*. This improved New Iso-Vis Motor Oil is now on sale at all Standard Oil dealer* and service stations. Save THE EXPENSE and bother of carbon removal. Again, thorough lest* and experiment have proved that New lao-Vii has leu tendency to ward car bon residue than other oils.

Addison M. Herrington was bom In Carroll county. Ohio, the 31st day .. Marsh. 1858, the youngest of three children of John and Mary . Herrington. During his early boyhood his parents emigrated down the Ohio river to Ladoga. Indiana, and a little later moved on to Richland,Center. Wisconson. From Wisconsin they - moved to Sturgis. Michigan, then on to Lakeview, where the mother died in Addison's early 'teens. From Lakeview they came to Freeport where John, the father, es­ tablished a drug store and dental office. At that time the viUage was a mere four-comers, surrounded by woods and a few scattered patches of cleared land. It waa in Freeport, dur­ ing his early youth, that he married Julia Almyra Newton, who departed this life last October. To this union were bom seven children. In his early twenties, he went to the State of Kan­ sas, alone, and proved up and obtained title to 160 acres of land. To listen to him tell of his experiences and the birth of his second child.

From Kansas, he returned to Freeport uuamcn Michigan, cnicicu entered uic the aiug drug business with his father and has ever since resided here. He was well known throughout the country for his fine, artistic work in taxidermy, which he worked in along with his drug business. During his public career, he travelled from Michi­ gan to Iowa as a drug salesman, was postmaster of Freeport, and at one time a very active member of the Congre­ gational church. He served for two years as chairman of the By-Laws Committee of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the State of Michigan, and was a recognized power in counfy and state politics. He served as state factory inspector under Govenior Bl Lis . Recently, he has attended the United Brethren church, butduring his entire Hfe his motto has been "The Golden Rule'-a ways striving to treat his fellowmen Justly.-uslng his own counsel and acting according to the dictates of his own conscience, and lastly, professing genuine, sincere religion previous to his death. ••Add" as he was better known, was a straight-forward, out-spoken person, which characteristic made him hosts of friends and a few enemies, but admired by all, as he never knowlingly wronged his fellowmen. and always fought for what he believed to be right. He de­ parted this life Monday, April 7 at six days, the end coming very suddenly during a severe heart attack, while on a visit to his daughter Eunice's home In Kalamazoo. He was a thoughtful, loving father, sacrificing and devoting his entire life to his family. He leaves, cherishing his memory and mourning his loss, two sons. Fem and Norris; three daugh­ ters. Edith. Esther and Eunice, also one grandson, six granddaughters and a host of relatives and friends. OBITUARY.

The State Department of Labor has issued Its report for the month of March. It makes a heartening show­ ing. Unemployment has decreased steadily in Michigan since thn first of the year. The average wage per employee has increased. The report seems to be quite optimistic. What will be of special interest to the people of Michigan Is the fact that the automo­ bile Industry seems to be hitting a bet­ ter stride, having more than doubled the number of men drawing wages since the first of .the year. .

TESTED Z^ONOCO Gasoline is actually tested dozens of times in the process of n£nin&— but it is called Triple Tested Gasoline because of all of these tests converged into three main tests—for suiting—acceleration—power! These arc thc things that motorists want—and arc entitled to get—from thc gasoline they use. A gasoline may be ever so powerful—bur if is noc rnhriU enough to sun the motor quickly and give rapid acceleration in traffic—ft will not satisfy today's demands. An easy starring, swift acceleration, are mere snares if they are noc backed up with /tourr for every need—economical power!

Here’s a new tire by Goodyear for the heavy car, the fast driver, the tough and rocky road—for any service that’s arduous in the extreme! | It steps apart from other Heavy Duty balloons not only by its greater strength and improved con­ struction, but also by its strikingly handsome appearance. | It’s a big, stout, massively proportioned tire, armored with an extra-thick and extra-safe All-Weather Tread, and around its sleek black side-wall runs a single identifying stripe of silver.

(Continued from page one) volved a considerable expense, not alone for labor but also for the depre­ ciation of trucks and blades. There ought to be a way. and we believe there is, of cutting to the very minimum the expense of maintenance. Other counties are up against the same proposilion. Some of them believe they have found a way to reduce that expense to the lowest limit. Over in Van Buren county they reached the point where they felt they could not afford to in­ crease the mileage of county roads if the cost of maintenance is to be around $500 lo $600 a year per mile. After ex­ perimenting. they finally arrived at the conclusion that liquid asphalt, which they purchased from the Standard Oil Company at eight cent* per gallon, together with limerock crushed to pea gravel size, were the materials that woukl accomplish the results they were after They first clean and get down to a hard base the original gravel road. Then they pour over it a coating of liquid asphaltum and immediately mix with it the crushed limerock. Then it Is rolled down and another coating in the same manner follows until they have five coats, making a thickness of surfacing material about one and onehalf to two Inches thick and about 16 or 18 feet wide. This is the third year they have tried it. It seems to stand the winters remarkably well. It cost* al­ most nothing for maintenance—just a little patching now and then where a heavy truck may break through. Buch a rood will not stand the big trucks, such as the A. & P. and Kroger send over the roads, but for all ordinary trucking loads, and for ordinary traffic, they are strong enough and will stand up well. The cost In Van Buren counly has been found to be $2,000 per mile for building this kind of a road- That is Just about what three years of mainte­ nance for a gravel road will cost on the average. The Van Buren rood com­ mission believes that tills kind of a road ought to last for ten years, and that It can be renewed by putting on a couple more coats at an expense of not over $1,000 per mile; and that should be good.for ten year* more. We would say that some method of surfacing a definite mileage per year of the present gravel surfaced mileage of county roads ought to be undertaken, to reduce to the minimum the mainte­ nance expense. Van Buren county put down three miles the first year, six miles the next year and are planning lo put down 17 or 18 miles this year of this kind of woadway and to keep on surfacing until the entire county mlle- Gay little prints fashion these amart little crea­ tions.

If the county will work out a plan of so much county road every year, dis­ tribute the work fairly in the different townships, and include, as we have sug­ gested elsewhere, the development of a road system to the resort lakes, in co­ operation with the townships; then the coating of the present graveled roads in some such manner as is now used in Van Buren county, a small mileage eaeh year, it would be possible to definitely fix the amount to be ex­ pended every year for good roads; and we believe this can be done without is­ suing bonds, which will save a lot of interest.

Harrison got in touch with the ;board that they wish to cut down county road bonds and keep down is­ suing niorc bonds for county roads. .But tn this case a board of supervisors had last year authorized the building of this road on a route that would have cost more than the last petition required. It would seem only fair to have accepted the petition arid built the road. Or if the board did not wish to build it now, it would seem that, in fairness the board would at least au­ thorize the road and delay building it for a time, until the outstanding coun­ ty road bonds were paid down, to a smaller figure. To turn down this pe­ tition. after it had been prepared and carried out in the manner suggested by the county road commission, and especially after the supervisors had previously voted in favor of the con­ struction of the road, hardly seems warranted.

WATERS & rcNi HASTINGS MICHIGAN “The Better Store for Men BANNER WANT ADVS BRING RESULTS original cost of the' building for the twenty years win see that the then small town of Hastings actually paid for that building fully 8100.000. The foundation work was started as early as could be in 1872 and the build­ ing was completed so that school begon in the fall of 1873. The first tuplerintendent of schools after the 'new building was erected was Professor Samuel Dickie, later widely known for his temperance and prohibition work in the country, and for 23 years as presi­ dent of Albion College. Hastings schools were first made completely graded schools under the supsrinlendency of Dr. Dickie. Beginning at that time a diploma from the Hastings High school would admit the graduate to the University of Michigan or to any col­ lege in this state. Dr. Dickie's High school staff consisted of two assistants and himself. Hetaught for every rec­ itation hour of every day exoept one. when he visited the grade rooms in the same building. There were eight grades below the High school. all housed in the old red brick building. Later the two ward schools were added, and still later the white brick plant was put on the central grounds to take care of the overcrowded condition of the grades. The old High school building became far too small for the numb?- of stu­ dents. and the building began io show signs of not standing the strain. It was virtually condemned by state authori­ ties as not being adequate to the needs of this city. But it took a long time to get the new High school plant, which relieved the congestion. The old High school rooms were on the third floor of the red brick building but have never Ixcn occupied for school purposes since the High school plant was constructed. We are sure that al) who are Interest­ ed in the old school building as stu­ dents will be glad the school board has arranged to salvage the old bell, which will be placed in the tower of the new building. While there will be some expressions of regret because the old red brick building is to vanish, we are sure no one will have any other than feelings of joy that we are to have an up-todate. fine school plant, one that will be adequate to the needs of this city for the years to come, In its place. The writer visited the old building Monday lust as the work of ripping out the in­ terior had begun. An examination of the third story of the old structure will give an idea of how unsafe that build­ ing had becom?. It was time the .Junior high and the normal were moved out of that old Are trap for their lives were not only endangered by the possibility of Are but also by the pos­ sibility that the old tower might be blown down onto the building with dis­ astrous results. So while there Is a little sentiment of regret for the dis­ appearance of the old building, on one will feel other than glad that it Is lo be replaced by a modem flre-proof school building.

Those who are in close touch with the situation claim that this depression would never have occurred if farmers and dairymen themselves bought real butter Instead of butter Mibrtitjore It is claimed that in the cities there has been a steady demand for the real product, while in the villages and rural district* a very large percentage of butter substitutes are bought. It is claimed that if the farmers of this country would buy real butter, or make their own. instead of purchasing the cocoanut substitutes the Increased demand would easily restore the price of the butter to a profitable basis. SOW LESS WHEAT. Chairman Legge, of the National Farm Relief Board, has advised that farmers sow a smaller acreage of wheat as well as of octton this year.

PART There Is Just One I SURE Way To Have Money And That Is to SA VE IT by Entrusting IT to the Safe Keeping of Some Responsible Banking Institution So It Can’t “Burn Holes in'Your Pockets” It’s always well to have something laid up for a "rainy day.” The "rainy day” of sickness, adversity, or hard times is pretty sure to come to every man at some time in his life. Too often it comes when advanc­ ing age makes it hardest to meet. Then it is that people give utterance to the vain regret and say, “Oh, if I had only saved my money when I had a chance.” You can start saving by depositing a very small amount—only a dollar or two —and add to it as rapidly as possible. You can be assured that when you leave your money here it yill be free from every ele­ ment of chance; or speculation, and it will be available fop you any time you wish it. "STEADY SAVING”—putting away a portion of your earnings as fast as you re­ ceive it—will soon put you in possession of a snug sum, and the interest we pay you EVERY SIX MONTHS is just like "find­ ing money." It will be a start toward "Easy Street," and where the "rainy day” has nib terror. Why not start saving NOW? WHY NOT TODAY! Hastings National Bank The Only National Bank in Barry County MILO.

HARDWARE COMPANY 111 E. State St. Hastings, Michigan MIDDLEVILLE. J. J. Vander Kolk has been very busy the past week, getting the basement; dug for the addition to his garage. The I bridge crew have been taking out the dirt for him, using it for filling at the ends of the new bridge—very fine for both of them. Did you notice tha beautiful flower* in A. M. Gardner's and J J- Vander Veen’s windows last week’ They were from the Car) Oalster greenhouse. An Aetna Insurance Co.’s adjuster was here the past week and settled the , loss of Dr. B. C.

John and Mrs. Goorhouse have pur­ chased through G. D. Whitmore the house and' lot north of the school ’ house, occupied for some years by Mr., and Mrs Glenn Kermeen and former­ ly belonging to the late Mary Cronk. The Middleville hotel was a busy! place Sunday, when nearly 150 people ’ greatly enjoyed a splendid dinner i served them by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Esterman. Besides those from around home there were people from Kalama­ zoo. Battle Creek. Grand Rapids. Has­ tings. Lansing. Wayland. Detroit, Lake Odessa. Caledonia, Plainwell and Ev­ anston. Ill. It may be that we have omitted some towns but these were the ones noticed in looking over the regis­ ter. The meal was a fine one and the service A No. 1. as the Estermans know so well how to do. The day was not the best for bringing out the people, but they are well satisfied with the num­ ber they served and no doubt the Sun­ day dinners will be well patronized by many of those who enjoyed their East­ er dinner with them. This Monday evening occurs the reg­ ular monthly meeting of the Middle­ ville Boosters Clufi at the hotel. There are several matters that will be brought up at this meeting pertaining to the welfare of Middleville and vicinity. Our new Twp. road commissioner Is very busy in the western part of the township on the road. George Vlers and daughter of Lan­ sing were week end guests here. They moved the household goods of the Vlers to Lansing, where Mr. Viers has been working for some time and have rented the house to Claud Kermeen, who will at once take possession of same with his family. Mrs. Lucille Stridden and son were the week end guests of her parents. G. D. and Mra. Whitmore. The last number of the Middleville Brotherhood for the season will be April 28th. at which time we will have Mr. Shaw of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce as our speaker. Subject. Taxation, a subject that should appeal to all of us and we understand that our speaker Is well qualified to speak on the subject. Our high school will fur­ nish the music and we know that means some good music. So it looks like a profitable and pleasant evening mapped out for us. Be sure and be on hand. Our golf grounds are being given careful attention and the “bugs" are arranging for a busy season. Better gel in and enjoy the sport—it is health­ ful and a good way to reduce without going without those dishes you love so well. SOUTH VERMONTVILLE.
