TO POTATO GROWERS.
OFFICE or FRAZEE CLARK, |
CINCINNATI, o., May 8, 1897. !

CINCINNATI, u, May y, 1885,
10 the Potato Growers Of Montcdlm and
IOnid Counties:
| have been drawing potatoes from
Dur section for nearly twenty-five
Years and Montcalm and Ionia counties
we're for great many years deserv-
ngly famous for growing the finest
Stars grown in Michigan, but for sever
Il years you have sadly degenerated.
Your long white potatoes now are gen
orally conglomeration Of Cayuga
Chiefs, Telephones, played out Stars,
St. Patricks, Elephants, New York
Rurals and other kinds all grown and
mixed together. And your red pota-
Toes have played out too: If we order a
car OF Rose we get a mixed up dose of
Rose, Dakota Reds, Chicago Markets,
Early Ohios, HebrOns, Blush and
any others, just so they are red.
This season we have had from your
county mostly from Belding) some
very fine long white potatoes that be-
lieve is the coming long white for your
section. IL is called the California
Russett: they are very smooth, splen-
did shaped and the best table potato |
have had in my house this season.
They have but one fault this season; a
great many OF they have hollogs in
them, but your Rurals and Green
Mountains are hollow this season
which was caused by growing too fast.
You also have "A red potato that know
is the coming potato for your section,
the Rutland Rose No. II. They ap.
peal' 60 bo good for eating -at any ti-na
and are smooth, splendid shaped, fine
color and sell well to any that have
once used them, as they cook perfectly
white, no red streaks in them.
do hope the Montcalm and Ionia
county potato growers will send anc
get pure White Star seed and get bach
to their old prestige of being the best
potato growing section in Michigan
For "a long white potato give us the
genuine Star or the California Russet
For "A red potato give US for both eat
ing and for seed the Rutland Rose OF
the Early Ohio and for round whit,
potato give us the genuine Greer
Mountain. Rcspt. Yours,

They visit the city this week-Speak Hlghiy
of its Progress and Neat Appearance
NJ. NJ. wins IA five from nd. Young.
1t is not often that the Belding Bros.
all of them make visit at the same
time to their home city, which was
named i'm honor of their father and
mother who settled here over iity
years ago. But this week Nj. Nj. Bel
ding of New York, A. N. Belding OF
Rockville Connecticut and ID w. Bel
ding of Cincinnati, have been here and
in company with Ed Young of Chicago
looking over their numerous business
and real estate interests in the city.
Nj. Nj. Belding had not been here IN
three years and it was just forty years
ago last month when he first set foot
on this soil. A. N. Belding was here
last fall when Bryan made his famous
tour to the city and heard him speak
from the band stand. ID. w. Relding
has not been here in two years. They
speak in the highest terms OF the neat
appearance of the city, Of its progress
and substantial improvements and
complimented Mr.. Hetherngton for
the way he superintends their business
interests in connection with Hotel Bel
ding and the Belding Land and I'm
provement Co. They say there is IA
very material improvement in their
business east, but are not looking for a
boom right away-it must come gradu-
ally.
They had considerable sport Monday
evening In front OF the hotel which
amused large crowd of spectators.
Ed Young wagered five dollar bill
with NJ. NJ Belding that he couldn't
ride wheel the length of the hotel
front, Mr.. Belding took him up and
proceed to mount the wheel and rode it
as gracefully as one familiar with that
diversion, winning the bet which was
paid amid the cheers of spectators.
He then offered Ed 50 if he would do
the same act. Mr. Young thought 1T
no trick to do it if an inexperienced
man could. After taking have dozen
or more headers he withdrew from the
field complimenting Mr.. Belding on
his great feat. A. N. Belding said his
brother had been taking private lessons
on wheeling at his home in New York.
The five dollar bill proved to be one
which Mr.. Belding had sent as dona-
tion to the ladies Of the Congregation
al church upon solicitation by Mr., w.
T.. Hetherington some time ago, on
which he had written the words from
a wet Baptist to the Congregational
lists with best wishes OF the donor,
and going into circulation fell into the
hands of Mr.. Young. Mr.. Belding
thought it was the quickest answer to
the scripture, Cast thy bread on the
waters and it shall return again, that
he ever experienced.

KING GEORGE OF GREECE.
His Throne and His Life in Per'l-His
Great Wealth.


Great wealth.
Uneasy lies the head that wears the
Grecian crown. King George is now
occupying a peculiarly trying position,
BY attempting TO seize Crete he put
himself at the head of the mob in de-
fiance of the feeble protests of his pre-
mier and now he faces almost certain
defeat in war, and perhaps, "A reyolu-
tion that may drive him from his
throne. Under ordinary circumstances
this monarch of the Hellenes might
not care greatly, since the powers,
when he took his seat in 1863, guaran-
teed him round million of dollars Il
year in case he should be driven from
power, besides which he has already
saved up enough out OF his liberal
allowances OF $500 600 year and per-
qusites TO make him the wealthiest
sovereign of Europe. The king has al
ways had an eye to the future, and in
recent years has built himself a mag
nifcent palace near Copenhagen, to
which he might retire TO end his days
in the ease to which he has always
been partial. That would not be IA
bad termination of the career Of the
young scion of an impoverished and
obscure royal family, if that were all
But there is reason to believe that
George has resolved to wipe out, by
one bold stroke, the contemptuous in
difference with which he has been re-
garded by other soverigns who have
never held his intellectual qualifica-
tions in high esteem. The time seem
ed ripened for realizing the old Greek
dream OF the seizure OF the Turkish
empire, or, at any rate, of IA good part
of it. The Christian sentiment of the
world was aroused; an alliance, covert
or open, with some great power was to
be expected, and it seemed certain that
the Balkan states would likewise de-
clare war. Instead the concert of
Europe has been maintained with firm
ness, IIt Ddlhd duS nave duuOuhtth W
Russia that they will remain neutral,
and the Turk is conducting the war in
his usual freely aggressive style and
with more than usual success. The
king of Greece is, therefore in situa-
tion OF extreme peril-not alone to his
throne, to which he may be philosophi-
cally reigned, but also to his life and
the lives Of his family, "a contingency
can certainly not be contemplated with
equanimity. He has the mob at his
back in two senses, and in any event
must suffer.
King George has led a blameless il
rather indolent life; under him the
Greeks have had self-government to a
very large degree, and in every respect
his administration has been better
than that of the unhappy Otho, his
predecessor. That he should have
ruled in exemplary If colorless fashion
for thirty-fou years, and then in any
event have to face the humiliation o
defeat and possibly of such flight al
King Otho took, is distressing indeed

STATE TAXES NOT BURDENsoME.

Referring to the persistentdlscusslon
of state taxes as "a burdensome intlic-
tion the Petoskey Record INDUCES in
the following sensible review of the
taxation subject:
1t is odd that tax kickers generally
devote their kicks to the legislature
instead Of their local governments. 1t
isn't the state tax that worries any
body. 1t is the local tax. We have
before us the tax receipt for taxes Ct
1896, on small piece of property IN
Petoskey, valued at 5000. The total
tax is S39 33, divided as follows: State
S2.07; county, S4 90; city, Si3.95; sol
diers' relief, 500; school tax $lS.27
total, S39.33. Suppose the state should
reduce state taxation one-third, how
much relief would it afford the owner
Of above property? This biennial howl
about the "extravagancc OF the leglsla'
ture" is most rot. What makes the
tax payer sweat is bis county board OF
supervisors, his school board, and his
village council About nineteen-twen-
tieths of the average citizens taxation
is laid upon him by his local authori-
ties, and spasm Of economy on the
part Of any legislature, or the cutting
down of state salaries and expenses,
will help so little that we won't know
the difference.
The Greenville Independent adds to
the above: In Greenville for 1896 on
property valued at 5000 the state tax
was g .43; county, S4.l4; city, Sl2.46
school, 80. .53: total, S2S So or Sl0.77 les;
than Petoskey. This speaks well foI
GreenyIlle. In Belding for the same
year 1896, the taxes assessed on proper
ty valued at 5000 was: State, 50 20
county, Sl.94: city, $50; school, s.. s.
total S2l.I1, or S1S.22 less than Petos
key and 81. .45 less than Greenvlle.
