THE ECONOMIC LEAGUE.
A Center 10 be Organized tn Promote Good
Citizenship,

In this age of great progress, when
changes in our industrial, political and
social systems are revolutionary in
their development, when invention
and other forces are changing the man
ner and methods of doing the worlds
work, when Trusts, Combines and
Monopoles are assuming such vast
proportions, all should feel the need OF
such information on the live practical
questions as shall enable them to act
wisely in the discharge of their i'm
portant duties as citizens. The Uni
versity Association of Chicago is or
ganizing the Economic League, with
centers all over the country, for the
purpose OF giving all an opportunity TO
gain correct and unbiased information
on the great economic and social ques-
tions.
The University Association has been
doing lines Of University Extension
work for the past four years, securing
as instructors the very best talent from
the leading colleges and universities
of this country and Europe. Courses
of instruction have already been given
in Universal History, Universal Liter
ature, etc, to nearly 10000 members,
representing over $500 classes. The
course in Political Economy, Political
Science, and Sociology is under the
immediate supervision of Prof Richard
I. Ely, Phi. d., l.. l.. D., Director Of
the School OF Economies in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, assisted by
large number of recognized specialists
of this country and Europe. A center
is being formed in Belding for the
study of this course. 1t covers the live
practical questions Of the day and
should be taken by every person inter-
ested in good citizenship. The plan is
to furnish a systematic course of print
ed lectures for daily reading lessons.
The class then meets once week and
reviews and discusses the lessons they
have read In addition there will be a
lecture course on practical questions by
the very best local talent that can be
secured,
In short the plan is to bring univer-
sity instruction within the reach OF all i,
that they may have the benefits OF the
results of the profound study and in
vestigation of the trained specialists of
the world and thus prepare them for
the highest ideal of American Citizen
ship.

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., w. Va,
struck his leg against a cake OF ice In
such manner as TO bruise 1t severely
1t became very much swollen and pain
ed him so badly that he could not walk
without the aid OF crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used sever
al kinds OF liniment and two and a halt
gallons OF whiskey in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he began
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almost a complete cure in a
weeks time and he believes that had
he not used this remedy his leg would
have had to be amputated. Pain Balm
is unequaled for sprains, bruises and
rheumat SIN. For sale by Fisk Bangs

MAUD y. AHEAD.

The Maud 5. windmill was on display
at the state fair grounds last week at
Grand Rapids in competition with a
whole lot of others and the following
clipping from the Grand Rapids Her
aid is what it said of it. A telegram
was received by the BANNER last week
from the Maud S Windmill and Pump
Co., through its agent, O.J. Wheeler,
who was there all the week showing
up its merits, TO insert the article in
our last issue, but it came too late, SO
we give it space in this issue.
"The first firm represented in the
long line display of windmills is that
of the Maud /. Windmill and Pump
Co. of Lansing, Mich. This mill is a
Michigan product and is noted for its
light running, and it was fully demon
strated yesterday that the Maud 5.
leads by the continuous running OF the
power mill, furnishing power for three
machines steadily grinding feed, while
their competitors were standing still,
which goes TO show all that is claimed
for these mills. This firm also manu-
features fine line of pumping mills,
towers TO carry tanks, tanks of all
kinds, both wood and steel, and pumps
without an equal. Anyone interested
in pumping or power mills or intend
ing to buy should not fail to see this
display, for this firm has a reputation
of selling good goods cheap and under
a guarantee that guarantees.
