STATE FARMERS' INSTITUTE

A representative of The EXpositOr
attended the second meeting, for 1898,
of the st. Clair County Farmers Club
held at MOore's Hall, in the village Of
AvOca, Wednesday, January 5th. In
the neighborhood of 800 persons, prin-
cipally farmers and their wives, were
present. all eager TO learn any new
point that might be brought out. G. :.
King presided, and James Dunn was
secretary, both performing their duties
TO perfection. VIM. Mason and y. w.
Campfeld made an excellent reception
committee.
The program published in the last
issue of The EXpositor was carried out
to the letter with one exception, Mrs j.
Ernest. of Zion, not being present. In
place of this number Miss Flo Beard
gave recitation entitled, "Tracys Let
ter, which was well received. Colon
C.. Lille. of Ottawa, Mich. delivered
two grand lectures. The first, keep
ing up Soil Fertility" was very interest
ing and instructive, and in the discus
sion that followed nearly every farmer
present asked question or two, Mr..
Lille answering each satisfactorily.
"The Home Dairy VS.. The Creamery
being equally as Instructive. Harvey
Tappan, attorney, Of Yale, was listened
to with a great deal Of interest and
many good points were learned in "The
Descent of Property. at death OF Own
er." Harvey handled the question III
an able manner "StOck Feeding, by
Alexander McNaughton, of Clyde, was
very sensible paper and those who
have seen his stock say that he is sue
cesSful in this line, as we'll as keeping
up the fertility of his farm. Free
Mail Delivery" as presented by Michael
Myron. of Blaine, was favorably receiv-
ed by all Daniel Foley raising a slight
objection, which caused a hearty laugh,
in saying that if his mail was delivered
it would deprive him, as well as others,
of an excuse to go TO town. Mrs. Hen
ry Kingsley, of Clyde, read paper on
Idle Reading" and everyone present
spoke of it as a grand production. The
Good Roads" paper by David Beard,
of Clyde. contained considerable study
and all were more enlightened Oh the
subject, but none felt the least bit
more favorable towards the proposed
system. The singing furnished by the
choir was enjoyed by all. Our repre-
sentative not being present at the ev-
ening session we are unable to give an
account. Secretary Dunn informs us
that at Capac 26 members were enrolled
and at AVoca, 10 were added to the list.

a New Form of Personalities

The old style Of portraying famous
people through "sketch" or "biogra-
ply" is to be modernized in The Lad
ies' Home Journal during 1898. Five
of the most prominent Americans have
been chosen FOR the departures: Pres.
ldent Mckinley, Mrs. Cleveland, Mark
Twain, Joseph Jefferson. and Thomas
A. Edison. Each will have special
article, which will consist of about
fifteen or twenty fresh, unpublished
stories and anecdotes strung together,
each anecdote showing some charac-
teristic trail or presenting a different
side of the subject. The idea is to show
famous personalities through their
own doings and sayings, and to make
these articles accurate the relatives
and closest personal friends of the
subjects haye assisted and given to the
Journal the best stories and anecdotes
within their own knowledge. Each
article will thus represent the closest
view of the one sketched. No author
ship will be attached to any of the
articles.

YALE ST. Clair County Mich. FRIDAY. JANUARY
More About Good Roads.

We are sorry to note the EXpositor
was compelled TO disacknowledge, on
our account, a certain item that appear
ed in these columns few weeks ago.
We note under the editorial remarks
that the people (Of Yale and vicinity,
we take it, do not favor taxing the
townships to build roads leading to
the cities.
At the time we wrote said item we
thought we were sticking strictly to
the truth; yet the editors remarks
caused us to think he might be right
and we wrong, more especially as in a
township one part generally reflects
the sentiments Of the other. We again
felt the people and found our editor
was right and we wrong. Whereas
three weeks ago we found 10 TO for
now we find the situation reversed
Now what is the cause Of that change?
We can tell without any trouble. Three
weeks ago the farmers had hay, grain,
etc, to move. Could they do it? NOl
Why? Mud, Mud Mud! nothing but
mud, and aS we expressed it "they were
heartily sick of their own most excel
lent Gu methods Of highway labor"
If that is not an iron-clad argument in
favor of another system, we do not
know what we are talking about. The
constant howl set up by anti-refOrm
that good roads will favor the residents
of the cities at the expense OF his Couu-
try brother is another fake, for in the
cities the greatest enemies Of county
roads reside. In all cities the laboring
classes (and they hold the balance of
power are taxed TO death, and does
common sense not teach us they will
,.t Nr.f l.s.tt in
stead of tightening it, for the sole use
and benefit OF the farming community.
Petty villages contest the question,
and Will contest it, not because they
think they are right, but because they
have got in the rut, and have 10 ambi-
tion To get out of Il. When a town of
from 500 to 20OO population can't keep
their main street in tip top condition,
what is to be expected from them in a
movement that is on foot to enable the
farmer 20 move his hay or other farm
produce, at any time of the year with
ease and comfort It would require 10
extra effort TO locate such villages as
described above, and TO our personal
knowledge during several weeks of last
fail, there was all of four feet OF mud
in their main streets Yes, most decid-
edly if we had 10000 votes we would
give every one in favor of the good
roads movement. Another point, part
of the first quotation, 40 build roads
leading to the cities. If farmer fills
up a load Of grain, where does he wish
TO go if not TO the city. Where? May
DE out into Lynn swamp, there is Il
good market there If they don't want
60 build roads into the cities, where do
they wish to build them? The present
system of road making is humbug.
Sometimes the overseer does not care II
the work is done or not, and if he is one
of that kind the people are always too
willing to give him his way. On the
other hand if he tries TO perform his
ly up to.

Regular exercises were suspended for

Grafton of school house and fitting it
for the event in the evening. Long
before the hour appointed for COM
mencement of program the neat little
room was crowded and still the num-

The first was selection by the school

other parts especially enjoyed was a

in her part of Bridget the servant. The

may well be proud, bringing out the
strong love of whiskey in the Indian
character.

that it did not pay to make money too

The character of Aunt Prue, the old
maid, was skillfully handled by Nina

folly of counting, in condemning the
simple innocence of the graceful niece.

clusion by the whole company joining

Among many handsome and useful
gifts to children and neighbors was an
elegant toilet set TO Miss Newell by her
pupils. After all gifts were awarded
by Santa Claus the crowd dispursed,
feeling that they, one and all, had been
amply repaid for their two short hours
together in bringing JOY and happiness

day, will cheerfuily contribute to the

They Never Strike.
Lexington News }


God bless the dear old men and
women, and their younger ones too, on
their way-back farms, doing their life
work patiently, conscientlously, faith
fully, always hoping Cor the best. We
owe everything to the farmers, the
clothes we wear, the food we eat, the
beautiful greenness of the glorious
country where you can luxuriate in
summer. We hope their rights will be
more respected in the future, that the
fruits of their labors shall be adequate
to recompense them for the long-suf-
fering toll which has brought some
thing out of nothing. The farmer is
the level-headed working man. They
don't get together to make corners to
cheat their fellow men, and they
never strike. He is seldom q pauper
or beggar. Everything may drop fifty
per cent, but he goes on plowing and
threshing.

GRAND MAS TEA, 10 cents, cures
stomach, kidney and liver diseases.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1898-01-21

OF all the States in the Union, this
state stands about the best chance of
making its mark. 1t has Lakes Su-
perior and Michigan on the east,
on the south Wisconsin and Lake
Michigan, and on the west Min
nesota, the Miss ,ssippi river and a lit
tie of Lake Superior.
Besides this magnificent location, the
State of Superior starts in with a pop
ulation of nearly 100000 people. Be-
sides this, Superior has an inexhausti-
BILE mining supply. 1t contains iron
and copper enough to supply the whole
world, and its building stone is re-
markable all across the country. Its
mining facilities make it a Klondike
in copper.
The way in which Michigan came to
have an upper peninsula, and the man
ner in which it was divided is very
interesting. Michigan was the thir-
teenth State admitted to the I'm
ion, and came in by an act of
Congress in January, 1887. 1t
extended further south than it
now does and westward to the Mis-
souri, river, but owing to some politi-
cal deal on its admission a part of its
southern border was cut off and Civ.
en- to Ohio. A strip had also been CIV
en- to Indiana few years before. Aft
er Michigan became fully settled as
State, the Governor of Michigan made
great fuss about these slices that had
been cut off, and so, to quiet him, what
is now known as the Uprer Peninsula
was granted to him. This made a
State that was separated by a great
body of water, but Notwithstanding
this obstacle, Michigan has always
ruled both its upper and lower Ienin-
sulas as well.
The lower Michigan people are said
to be in favor of losing their upper
peninsula becarse they feel that 1t is
no part of them, while the Upper Pc
ninsula certainly feels that it should
be independent.
