AN ARTISTS ADVICE.

The following excellent words of ad- vice to the would-ba artist are repub- lished from the Inter- -Collegian, for which it was written by that world renowned. artist, Paul de Longpre of Hollywood:
 If you love your art with all your soul: if you are ready to spend. maybe, half of your life before getting (per- haps) recognition; if you are willing to suffer all kinds of privations, surely for many years-then, start to become an artist; start with enthusiasm to the pursuit of your ideal-let it be your religion.
 Bear in mind that the highest type of beauty is the highest art.
 "The principle of all my life has been: better paint nothing than paint something ugly or uninteresting.
 You must live with your creations.
 Consider money as a help in art. never as a guide.
 Never be so narrow minded as to think that your school is the only one admire talent in whatever school it belongs.
 "A last word: Never forget that the most contemptible vice is jealousy in art"

OREGON'S TIMBER BELT.

The greatest timber belt in the world is to be found in Western Oregon and in Washington. According to government reports, as quoted by MT. William Mac leod Raine, in the June Pearson's, Ore gon has about 335, ,OOO OOO, 900 feet of standing timber, mostly fir, cedar, hem lock, spruce and larch. As there is now cut in the state about 1000, 100000 feet annually, there is still enough left to last for several hundred years at the same rate of cutting For ship build ing, masts, bridge timbers, car sills and other needs demanding a combination of great length, strength, durability and lightness the Oregon fir is unrival- ed Government tests show that under pressure it has nearly twice the strength of oak and three times that of pine. From each of the five continents the demand for it is continually in creasing. The German emperor's new yacht has Oregon fir for its masts and booms. and the royal standard on Windsor castle floats from a flagstaff of the same wood.

THE WAY IT GOES.

"I was over at Allegash the other day for the first time In four years. ' said the Kohack Philosopher. just d bit sarcastically. "and l found my nephew Luther and his estimable wife still squabbling over the same question they were quarreling about when I was there before. The only change that J was able io detect was that. while in the first place they appeared to know what they were dangling about. by this time they seemed to have forgotten what the original bone of contention " as. and were quarreling monotonously along without any way of knowing when they had finished.
 "Well. when my appearance inter rupted them, Luther was startled to see how much thinner I had grown in four years. and his wife was astonished at the way I had grown fat. And at 1t they went, quarreling over that. and the original question was shelved for good and all I came away feeling amply repaid for taking the trip. It is a satisfaction to know that you have done a helpful act, and I expect I did them a great favor by breaking the and giving them something fresh to wrangle er."-Smart Set.

A Bold Hold-up at the Alhambra
 Brickyard.
 Alhambra, Ariz., May 29.-(Special correspondence Of The Republican)- While returning home from Phoenix about ? o'clock this morning J. Gowett was held up near the Alhambra brick yard by a bold robber and relieved of $lO. MT Gowett proceeded on home and awolle the postmaster and, using his telephone, notified the sheriff's office of the occurrence. The officers were soon out to the scene of the hold up but at this writing the bold bad men have not been captured.
 Mrs. Swigert of Phoenix was an AL hambra visitor last Friday.
 Frank Ragan is nearing the close of the apricot picking. He has handled a big crop, shipping through the Phoenix Produce company. and also supplying ripe fruit to the Phoenix market. II. Renaud and w. Hammer each have some fine hay cut and shocked which they will bale in the field and place in storage.
 Glendale and vicinity are very enthu- siastic over the work going on at the site of the new sugar factory, a large wind mill and tank are on the grounds and a well being bored. The company has bought over 500 acres of land and is still buying.
 The Bartlett warehouse at Alhambra has had a new iron roof laid and the doors and windows re- painted, which puts the building in first class condition for storage purposes.

MICHIGAN SUGAR INDUSTRY.

Throughout the state of Michigan last
year l6 beet sugar factories were oper-
ated and they handled the production of
IS, 600 acres of beets. These beets
weighed 459, 079 tons and produced 49,.
843 tons of sugar
This output was very small consider
ing the capacity of the factories, in fact
only about one third of what could have
been manufactured had it been possible
30 obtain full supply of beets. This is
accounted for by the fact that the con-
struction of many of the factories was
greatly delayed and also owing to the
extremely wet weather, great part of
the beet crop was drowned out and DIES
stroyed. The total number of factories
operated in the United States was A.
for which 259, 5l3 acres of beets were
sown. This yielded 1855, S0S tons of
beets and produced 1875, 463 tons Of
sugar

The Democratic Kicker.


Editor Record The newspapers tell Us that
President Roosevelt has secluded himself for
period OF two weeks from the affairs OF the out
side world by entering the Yellow Stone park
and having all avenues of entrance closely
guarded, his prime object In doing so being
absolute rest from the arduous duties OF the
affairs of State. That to make his rest more
complete and to divert his mind entirely from
the routine OF National affairs, he had chosen
"rhe Study OF Wild Animals as subject with
which 10 occupy his mind during the time OF
his retreat. From the adventurous makeup OF
the President one would be led to believe that he
would enjoy the study OF the subject chosen
very much as he seems to enjoy hunting large
game in their native retreats.
But il seems 10 me that If the President de-
sired to study the most profound subject In ma
tural history ne might have chosen the indivi-
dual Democratic animal OF the day. He seems
to be of very strange makeup. He il usually
represented as being in the form OF a donkey but
think the representation imperfect, In that
the donkey only kicks at one end whereas the
Democratic animal kicks at both ends lie T. a
wonderful kicker. Further, he seems 10 be a
sort of negative creature. He opposes every
thing that he comes in contact with and Seems
to have no higher aim than simply opposition
His nature in some respects seems like that Of
the reptile in that he seems to thrive best when
breathing the poisonous gasses or vitiated at
mosphere He seems To possess also some of
the characteristics OF the chameleon in that one
can never tell what hi, color will be when next
beis seen. one prominent trait in his make.
up il that he is continually sounding the danger

ONE DRY" AND THE OTHER WET

In Montcalm and Clinton counties
the question OF local option was sub.
mitted to the voters last week with the
result that in Montcalm the proposition
was carried by vote of between 100 and
$50. Ii was charged that there were
Irregularities in several of the townships
and the "wet" element tried TO invali.
date the vote in consequence. However,
the board of supervisors, by a vote OF
10 to IL, declared the vote legal and that
local option had carried.
In Clinton county the "wets" won
out by a majority OF over 800.

A GOOD INSURANCE.
The Odd Fellows Mutual Benefit Assoc
citation.


Three years ago Oddfellows from
Emerson, ST. Louis, Riverdale and Alma
organized a Mutual Benefit Association
with headquarters at Alma. The pur.
pose of this organization was TO furnish
relief TO the family during the sickness
and death of member. At such time
81 90 per member is paid to the benef-
ciary i'm mediatelv after the death.
This association at present has 100
members and during these three years
the association has lost but two men,
bers, DR.. r. O. Hunt and Benjamin
Worthington In both cases the money
was Immediately paid to the widow.
From the fraternal standpoint every
true loyal brother of the order should
become a member Of this association.
Who would not be willing to contribute
81 90 toward defraying the expenses of
deceased brother? How much better
is 1t TO have it done in this way. Then
$3.50 means more than double the
amount at any other time.
Again, from business standpoint
there is no cheaper insurance than this,
81 90 for three years is at the rate Of
50 - on 81 900. We challenge any other
insurance company to beat it. From
both the fraternal and business stand
point we believe it TO be 10 the interest
of every member of the l. .. o. f. in
Gratiot county to become a member OF
this association. We want all 10 exam
inc this report and to carefully look NJ
the advantages offered in this form OF
insurance. Any information will be fur
nished by w. L. Hanson. OF Alma.
