Emerson Farmers Club.

A meeting of the Emerson Farmers
Club was held at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. lothian Allen, Dec. S, 1898. There
was good turn out with eighteen
families represented. A sharp discus
cussion was had in regard to sending a
delegate to Lansing to represent our
club at the annual meeting of the State
Farmers Clubs. The question was de-
cided by large majority in the affirma-
tive and our president, Mr. L. NJ. Hetz-
man, was elected as such delegate
lothian Allen gave report of his ex.
perience III raising an acre Of sugar beets
under the direction of the United States
department of agriculture in connection
with the state Agricultural College and
quite an interest was manifested. Ii
was thought if we could get sugar
beet factory at Alma or some point in
the county it would be better than a
klondike for the people of Gratiot
county. The farmers around Bay City
are clearing from $50 to $50 per acre for
their sugar beets and we can raise just
a. good sugar beets in Gratiot county as
they can in Bay county. Mr.. Allen sent
test to the Agricultural College and
it showed 800 sugar and 900 purity
which would give the farmer for beets
of that test over $6 per ton. MIR. Henry
Treat and lothian Allen were chosen as
delegates to visit Bay City factory and
farmers and find out all they can about
the success of the business. 1t was de-
cided to hold the next meeting at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs Geo. Coleman
the first Thursday i'll January, it to be
an all day meeting with a picnic dinner.

The New York Mail and Express says 1:
RESTRAINED and modest as is its tone,
the official report of Secretary Alger Is
an Iiad of facts. Figures may be cold
in themselves, but when they relate to
human life they grow with eloquence.
1t is wonderful TO read that out of ,43l
men wounded in the Santiago campaign
only 10 died of their wounds. The story
of all modern wars is one of death by
disease rather than from battle, and yet
the total death-roll from all causes III
the war with spain foDts ~ only 2,9lO'
This. our Of total force of 2ii,7l1 men,
is simply wonderful IL Is all the m IRE
wonderful when we consider that the
United States was rs uuprepared for the
grim reali6ie3 OF war, in the numbers OF
its army. as il is possible ID conceive !;
that volunteer force Of 10000 volun-
teers was swiftly called into existence,
to supplement- the reg 1lars who mum
bered less than 2j),O)); that the gre 1t
army was speedily disciplined, equipped
aud mlds ready for service; thl5 oaly
lib days elapsed from the declaration OF
war until the public enemy sued for
peace that our victories were won by
these troops i'll fields 1000 miles apart
These are facts that go far to confute
tn superficial and ignorant critics of
the war. They make splendid record
of results accomplished that shine most
gloriously in the face of accusation,
recrimination and personal rivalries OF
leaders. OF the controversies between
officers of high rank, of the inevitable
defects in the quartermaster and com
missary bureaus, of the admitted faults
in the medical corps, it is not necessary
now to speak. IL is the results that
count. and after the American people
have studied Secretary Alger' $ summary
of these results, they will be ready tC
enter cordially into a consideration OF
how to avert in the future the evils thai
We're sequent upon our unpreparednes'
for war.

AMERICAN LANTERNS.
They Are Carried Nbe~cver Lanterps
Are Used All over the Civ
iIized World.

American lanterns are exported 10
ell the countries of he world where
lanterns are used. Many are sent TO
South Africa and 10 South America,
~ Australia and New Zealand, aud
some are sold in Asia. Few, proper
tionately, are sent to Europe, says the
New York sun.
Kerosene oil is now commonly
burned in lanterns all over the world.
There are no lanterns made nowadays
for candles only, but there are eX-
ported 10 South America some lanterns
made so that either candles or oil may
be burned in them. These are provided
with a candle socket, which may be
set down in the oil reservoir. the wick
holder having been removed. BY re-
moving the candle socket and screw
ing In the wick holder the lantern
Is made ready to burn oil. Excepting
railroad and other lanterns for spe-
eial uses. substantially all the lanterns
made nowadays are OF the kind known
a. tubular, first introduced about 30
years ago. and now made in various
nIoditica tious as to detail, the tubular
part Of the lantern being designed
with view TO producing better COM
bustion and a brighter light. The lam
terms made for ordinary uses are pro-
duccd il about 40 styles.
The American lanterns are the light
est. the sightliest in appearance and
the best adapted TO their use. and are
sold cheaper than lanterns of equal
quality produced elsewhere. There
are large establishments in this coun-
try making lanterns only. II is prob
able that more lanterns are now eX-
ported from this country than from
either England or Germany, and the
exports of American lanterns are in
