Mrs. E. M. Adams writes to Prince
ton friends of the prosperity of the
Love family, now residents of Hunts
vile, Alabama. They are all in excel
lent health-an seem $50 happy and
contented in their pretty new home. -
Miss Love is doing finely with her
music; has large class of pupils TAX
ing two lessons each per week and is,
beside the director of church choral
choir. The appreciation of the church
society was shown at Christmas time
by the presentation of an exquisite
painting to Miss Love and the pastor
surprised her with a gold piece of no
mean value.
Miss Jessie is "bright, winsome
girl and a general favorite."

A prominent brewer in the southern
part of the State desires to locate in
Princeton and some of the members of
the board of trade are Investigating
the field for him. It seems to the
UNION that there is "a good opening
here for such an industry. While
there is now little barley raised in this
vicinity that drawback would be over

was operated. There were very few
potatoes grown in this section when
the starch factory was built but the
market thus established gave the farm
ers hint and they have done the rest.

are all kinds of tropical ornamental

The horrible news comes from Ar
kansas that a boy climbed a cornstalk
to see how the corn was getting along,
and now the stalk is growing up faster
than the boy can climb down. The boy
is plumb out of sight. Three men
have undertaken to chop down the
stalk with axes to save the boy from
starvation, but they can't hack twice
IN the same place. The poor boy is
living on nothing but raw corn, and has
already thrown down over four bushels
of cobs.- G1'07aite Falls Tribune. -

Increase and Reduction of Debt.

Debt Is beneficial or burdensome, accord
ing as to whether you are running ahead"
or running behind" 1t works the same
with nations and individuals. When the
assets exceed the liabilities, when revenue
Is sufficient for interest and sinking fund,
then debt is capital. When, however. the
interest gets behind and the debt grows,
then, like war, ''it is hell" in the case Of
individual, firm or country.
Uncle Sans assets exceed 500, 600, 0OO,-
00O his liabilities are only 81, O00, 900, 900, or
per cent.-a most solvent condition. The
rest of the world, taken as q whole, and
most of the nations of the world, show q
constant increase of debt. The reason Is,
Of course, that expenditures exceed revenue,
that they buy more than they sell. Uncle
Sam, on the other hand sells more than be
buys, his revenues exceed his expenditures,
and he is not only constantly reducing his
debt but increasing his credit, and today is
paying only Q per cent. interest," where
other nations are paying 3, 4, and per
cent. and some nations could not dispose of
their bonds at any price or rate of interest.
And so it is with Uucle Sans people.
A few years ago we heard great deal of
Western farm mortgages. Farmers had
gone into debt for lands and implements.
We do not hear of farm mortgages today.
The farmers of Kansas and Nebraska and
other Western States have taken up their
mortgages and put millions in the
banks. They are sharing with the manu-
facturers and mill laborers the prosperity
of protection. Uncle Sans people In the
last four years have purchased 81, 900, OOO,-
600 of American securities held abroad.
Besides this they loaned over 500, 900, 900
last year to foreign countries. Surely pro-
lection pays. 1t pays debts, 1t pays the
people, 1t pays all around. We do not
hear Of these payments and loans in free
trade times or by free-trade countries. In
short, free.trade makes debts; protection
pays debts.-American Economist.

Rev. Hanks took his text from
Romans 1921: Be not overcome of
evil, but overcome evil with good.
| Mr.. Hanks carried out the theme by
giving an illustration from history.
The Battle OF Salamus by strategy,
Xerxes was moving his unnumbered
host TO conquer the Grecians. The
Greek despaired and prepared to
retreat, but Themistochs argued
against it. Finally he advised Xerxes
Of their plan and told him to guard
the straits and passages. Through
strategy the Grecian-general won the
battle. In the battle Of right the
inspired writer advises us to use bit
of this same strategy. Be not over
come OF evil, but overcome the evil
by the pre.occupation Of our lives by
the good.
Today the physician seeks to fortify
his patients lives against the entrance
Of disease. Our lives are to be so full
of goodness that there will be no room
for evil. Jesus moved among the
temptations Of his time, yet without
sin. In conclusion he gave the
thought that we should be so full of
goodness that we shall impart good
ness to all with whom We come in
contact.

Author Of Several Valuable Law
Text Books.
Bay City, Mich, Aug. 13.-Ex'Judge
Sanford M. Green died at $3.50 this
morning.
Sanford M. Green was born May 30,
1907. at Grafton, Rensselaer, county, N.
Y. His parents were poor, and his
early years were such as fell to the lot
of many other men who have reached
eminence. 1t was a continual struggle
to obtain the education which he
craved. He was finally admitted to
the bar about 1888; and practiced law
in western New York until his removal
to Michigan in 1887. He was one of
the founders of Owosso, and held nu-
merous local offices there. He was
state senator for four years. and in 1914
was appointed to revise the statutes of
the state, work which he accom-
plished with success, and which was
approved and adopted by the legisla-
ture of 1S47.
He was appointed Judge of the sixth
circuit, and ex-officio judge of the SUI
preme court in 1S4S, and held both Of
fees until the latter court was
reorganized in 1858. He continued as
circuit Judge until 1867 when he re-
signed and moved to Bay City. In 1879
he was appointed Judge of this circuit
and continued to serve in that capacity
until 1887, when he was retired at his
own request.
Judge Green was the author of sew
eral law books which have become
practically text.boo for Michigan
lawyers. His first work was one on
practice of circuit courts, published in
1860. In 1857 he published work on
the practice of common law courts of
Michigan, which is still accepted as an
authority, as is also his treatise on the
powers and duties of township officers.
His last work was "Crime. Its Nature,
Causes, Treatment and Prevention"
Judge Green was married in 1882,
and is survived by four children-Mrs.
Russell Bishop, of Detroit;Mrs. Florence
Van Etten, of Flint; VIM. c., of Orlan-
do, Fla, and George, of California.

An Old Sweetheart of Mine.
JAMES wHIrooMB RILEY

JAMES wHIrCoMB RILEY.
AS one who cons at evening DER an album al
| alone,
And muses. on the faces of the friends that he
| has known,
So turn the leaves OF Fancy, til in shadowy
design
1 find the smiling feature OF that old sweetheart
OF mine.
The lamplight seems to gimmer with fllcke,
OF surprise,
AS turn it low, 10 rest me OF a dazzle in my
eyes.
And light my pipe in silence, save sigh that
seems to yoke
smoke.
IT'S fragrant retrospection, for the loving
thoughts that start
Into being are like perfumes from the blossom
OF the heart;
And to dream the old dreams over is a luxury
divine
When my truant fancies wander with that old
sweetheart of mine.
Though hear, beneath my study. like fiut-
terinG OF wings,
The voices Of my children and the mother as
she sings,
feel no twinge OF conscience to deny me Of
any theme
When Care has cast her anchor In the harbor
OF dream.
In fact, to speak in earnest, believe it adds
charm
To spice the good trife with little dust Of
harm
For find an extra flavor in memory's mellow
wine
That makes me drink the deeper to that old
sweetheart OF mine.
A face OF lily. beauty, with form of airy grace,
Floats out OF my tobacco as the genii from the
vase;
And thrill beneath the glances of a pair OF
azure eyes
AS glowing as the summer and as tender as
the skies.
i can see the pink sun bonnet and the little
checkered dress
She wore when first kissed her, and she
answered the caress
With the written declaration that, "as surely
as the vine
Grew round the stump" she loved me-that
old sweetheart Of mine
And again feel the pressure of her slender
little hand.
AS we used to talk together OF the future we
had planned;
When I should be poet and with nothing else
to do
But write the tender verses that she set the
music to;
When we should live together in coy little
cot,
Hid in a nest of roses, with fairy garden-spot
Where the vines we're ever fruited, and the
weather ever fine,
And the birds were ever singing for that old
sweetheart OF mine;
And should be her lover forever and a day,
And she my faithful sweetheart till the golden
hair was gray:
And we should be so happy that when others
lips were dumb
They would not smile in Heaven till the others
kiss had come.
But-ah my dream is broken by step upon
the stair,
And the door is softly opened, and my wife is
standing therel
Yet the eagerness and rapture all my visions
resign
To greet the living presence OF II at old sweet
heart Of mine.

General Powers is earning a title as the
watch dog of the treasury. he conceives it
ts bis duty as an auditing officer to allow
no unauthorized claims, and while he may
make some enemies by a strict adherence to
the taxpay ers. The auditor is now receiv-
Ing the institution claims for the last quar-
ter of the fiscal year which ended June So
Among them he found several claims for
the hotel bills of members Of the legislative
junketipg committees which had been paid
by the treasurers of the state institutions.
Inasmuch as the members upon their return
from their trips had collected pay for hotel
expenses during their absence whether they
we're entertained at state institutions or not
the auditor general has decided that he will
not audit such claims. He believes il to be
his duty to prevent the payment of claims
by the state twice. lie has also decided
that he cannot audit vouchers for the pay
ment Of the cigar bills of members of the
legislature, as 1t seems q few of the insti.
tuti0ns purchased cigars with which to re-
gale the junketers and paid for them out of

Hundred Year Clubs

Are becoming numerous. The idea is to
promote longevity. 1t Is interesting to
note, that the means through which long
life is to be obtained. Is food and the
stomach. Long life and good health are
not possible unless the stomach does Its
work properly. There is way to make it,
IL 1t does not. HOstetter's Stomach Bitters
is an ideal strength restOrer. If you would
be cured Of dyspepsia, indigestion, belching,
constipation, insomnia, nervousness, bilious
ness, try the Bitters. Everybody should
try 1t TO help nature rid the blood of all
impurities. 1t possesses valuable curative
properties, and as a specific for malaria,
fever and sgue, 1t is unequalled. Don't
fail to give 1t trial, but be sure you get
the genuine.

Costly Tariff Agitation.

Under existing circumstances we believe
there is no occasion for general tariff revis.
Ion. Business men have the full knowledge
of the legal conditions under which they
can arrange to transact their business.
Tariff agitation always disorganizes business
because 1t brings into business an element
Of uncertainty, and wherever uncertainty
exists business men are extremely cautious;
they are unable to make plans for the future
and therefore suffer considerable loss them
selves.
There has never been tariff agitation in
this country that did not cost millions OF
dollars to laborers and capitalists. The
tariff laws need very little alteration be-
cause, as at present expressed, they have
helped to bring to this country the greatest
degree Of prosperity experienced in all
history. It's mighty good time to let well
