esrr,en Township Farmers Trapped.


Numerous farmers in Berrien town
ship are chewing the bitter cud of re-
Election now that they connot recall
what they had to say TO several genteel
personapes who visited them during
the past few days for the alleged pur-
pose of purchasing farm land. The
visitors in question were land experts
who were sent out by the state tax
commission TO ascertain whether or
not the township supervisors in Ber-
rien county are doing their duty by
assessing land at its actual cash value.
The deputation struck Berrien Center
the other day and unraveled plausible
tale about being sent into that section
by colony of people who had recently
located in northern Michigan, where,
owing to the nature of the soil, they
were unable TO raise satisfactory crops,
hence they desired to purchase more
productive soil in the Michigan fruit
belt A prominent citizen of Berrien
Center. who is well-known among the
farmers, volunteered to accompany the
prospective buyers, and introduced
were eager listeners to the yarn
told by the agents of the tax commits
sion. The outcome was that land
which the owners maintained, in the
presence of the township supervisor,
as not worth above $40 or $50, sud
denly increased amazingly in value.
No farms were for sale short Of S75 to
800 per acre, and in most cases the
owners held that the land was really
worth more than was asked for it
The strangers departed and the sup
ervisor of Berrien township has been
notified by the tax commission to raise
the assessment TO the amount which
the owners claim the land is worth.
The deputation of innocent lambs tried
the same wrinkle in Niles township,
but the farmers had tip in advance,
hence the men from northern Michi-
gan found farms for sale at bargain
in this vicinity.

Our Dealings with France.

the Forthcoming volume two of COM
mercial relations dealing with United

of the trade in American machinery in
western France. During the past
season, he says, about 500 reapers,
mowers and horse hay rakes arrived at
that port. American mowers give
good satisfaction and the increased
prices asked for farm labor will stimu-
late the demand for such machinery in
the future. The American mowers
were common sight in the hayfields
last summer.

Machinists Cause Trouble In Detroit.


What threatened to be a lively riot
occurred at the Olds Motor Works, in
Detroit, late on the afternoon of May
81, but the prompt arrival of the police
averted serious trouble, yet just lit
tie blood was shed. There are at present
about 60 men, mostly machinists, EN-
ployed there. The cause of the trou-
BILE is that non-union men were sus-
pected to be working there. When the
excitement commenced there were only
about a half dozen strikers present.
But by the time the extra squad of po-
licemen arrived fully 500 men, COM
prised principally of workmen of diff
ferent shops, had assembled. More
police protection was telephoned for
and upon their arrival the ringleaders
of the crowd had succeeded in work
ing their listeners up to point where
they were willing to make rush on
the works and cause the non union
men to cease working. When the sig
nal was given the crowd started, and
for awhile the scene presented was
similar to that of a lot Of boys playing
"pom, pom, tull-a-way" Finally some
members of the crowd made rush for
the opposite side of the building and
in this way came in contact with the
non-unionists Three of the latter re-
ceived badly swollen and black eyes
and suffered with bloody noses, but
the police reached the building in time
to prevent anyone from being badly
hurt The police accompanied the
company's men away from the scene at
quitting time, and patrolmen went
most of the way home with the more
nervous of the workers.

Maximite the Most Deadly of Explosive

Maximite the Most Deadly of Explosives.
Maximite, the new explosive in
vented by Hudson Maxim, has been
adopted by this country after series
of successful tests at the Sandy Hook
proving grounds. The secret of the
explosive has been sold to the govern
ment by the inventor, and the explo-
sive, 1t is thought, may revolutionize
warfare. 1t is said to be more deadly
in its character than lyddite, yet so
safely can it be handled that the dan
ger attaching to it's use is less than
that incurred in transporting ordinary
black powder. The tests indicate that
the explosive will pierce l2-inch Har-
veyized nickel steel armor plate, and,
having passed through it, will explode
on the other side with sufficient power
to destroy everything with which il
comes in contact. Never before has a
plate of this strength and thickness
been pierced.

Fruit Growers are Discouraged.

Fruit growers in the vicinity of Ben
ton Harbor are nearly discouraged over
the prolonged cool weather. The pros
poets for big straw berry crop as given
out is not what it was 10 days ago.
The big melon growers are still hold
ing their plants in hot beds waiting
for warm wind and already many of
these plants are dumping down. On
the big peach farms hardly an old tree
will bear a peach and this means two
thirds of every farm. The cause, as
heretofore announced, was the early
fall freeze before the limbs had been
tempered by any frosts.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject.

Also Few Facts on the Same Subject.
| We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living,
about vegetarianism and many other
fads along the same line.
Restaurants may be found in the
large cities where no meat, pastry
or coffee is served and the food crank
is in his glory, and arguments and
| theories galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score years in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow in
matters Of diet, and IA mixed diet of
grains, fruits and meats Is undoubted-
ly the best,
As compared with grains and yege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in highly concentrated form
and Is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of 1t. If
the digestion Is too feeble at first II
may be easily corrected by the rcgu
lar use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal. Two of these ex
ccllcnt tablets taken after dinner vii
digest several thousands grains OF
meat, eggs or other animal food il
three hours, and no matter how veal
the stomach may be, no trouble vii
he experienced il II regular practic,
is made of using Stuart's Dyspcpsi,
Tablets because they supply the pep
sin and diastase necessary to perfec
digestion, and every form of indlges
ton will be overcome by their use.
That large class of people who CONF
under the head of nervous dyspeptc
should eat plenty OF meat and insure
its proper digestion by the daily use o
a safe, harmless digestive medicine
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets com
posed of the natural digestive princl
pies, pcpsln, dlastasc, fruit acids, an,
salts, which actually perform the worl
