Hereford bull. He cleared the barnyard
of all human visitors last Saturday, and

fast closing up the distance between

trick of lodging the enemy, and more
hurridly than gracefully, fell among
the corn rows, and when his enemy
passed, legged it in another direction

Dom. Monkey With the Sugar Beet

Some idea of the value of the sugar
beet to the Saginaw valley could be OBJ
tanned by those newspapers that have
sneered at it in connection with the
Cuban tariff fight if it were possible to
ascertain the amount of wages alone
that is being paid out to the weeders in
the fields this summer. A large number
of boys and girls and young women are
making far better wages at the work
than they could hope to get in other
kinds of employment. So attractive
are the beet fields to young women that
it is difficult to induce domestic help to
come to the cities-girls can make
enough in the summer to keep them at
home comfortably through the winter
in many cases, and therefore are natural
ly disinclined to accept the more irk-
some work of city kitchens with its
isolation and longer hours.
To give some idea of the wages that
are being paid, a Courier Herald cor
respondent at Merrill is quoted in the
following paragraph:
Two girls named LAND, both under
10 years of age, when pain off by Archie
| Mcleod for seven days work in weed
ing sugar beets received $13. so apiece +"
When young girls under 10 can make
wages like that it is not to be wondered
at that their elder sisters decline to
come to toll in factories, hotels, and
households at much less remuneration
And we must say that we can't blame
them.
But what we wish to point out is that
in this one item alone, among many
more important, may be found an
inkling of the reason the agricultural
interest in this section of the state
stands so solidly against anything pro-
posed at Washington, and advocated in
Detroit newspapers, that bears any
menace to the beet sugar industry; and
also why Congressman Fordney last fall
had the good will of the people of the
country districts of the eighth congress
sional district without regard to their
party connections.
The sugar beet has been a potent and
large factor in the prosperity of this
section of Michigan. And any one who
approaches it around here with intent
to minimize its influence will run up
against trouble. Courier Herald.

Growth of Our Railroads.

From little wooden track over which
the first locomotive had its trial in 1929
the railroad systems of the United
States have grown to such an extent
that the tracks if placed together would
extend eight times around the world.
There is also wonderful growth be-
hind the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach

years ago, and during those years has
made such an unequalled record OF
cures that today finds it foremost in its
class as reliable family medicine. II

burn, indigestion, constipation, and
malaria, fever and ague. Hundreds
have so testified and we therefore urge

HAPPY DAYS.
When Friends say "Aow Well You
Look"

What happy days are those when all
our friends say, How well you look"
We can bring those days by little
care in the selection of food just as
this young man did.
IL had suffered from dyspepsia for
three years and last summer was SO
bad was unable to attend school," he
says: Il was very thin and my Ape
lite at times was poor, while again 1t
was craving, was dizzy and my
food always used to ferment instead
of digesting. Crossness, unhappiness'
and nervousness were very prominent
symptoms.
Late in the summer / went to visit
a sister and there l saw and used
Grape Nuts. l had heard of this ia
nous food Before, but never was in
terested enough to try It, for never
knew how really good It was. But
when | came home we used Grape
Nnts In our household all the time and
soon began to note changes In my
health. / improved steadily and am
now strong and well in every way
and am back at school able to get
my lessons with case and pleasure
and can remember them too. for the
improvement in my mental power IS
very noticeable and get good marks
in my studies which always seemed
difficult before.

toms given above but feel fine and
