A Defense of Slang.

So far from being an evidence of
national levity and lack of seriousness
slang is the language of sincerity. 1t
is the result of an instructive effort to
get as far away as possible from every
thing like pretentiousness. 1t is the
antipodes of bathos. 1t is the Ian
guage of the whole people, because II
is expressive of the national sense OF
humor that is never so keen as when
it contemplates with a JOY likewise
unutterable the spectacle presented by
a fake exposed. 1t is blunt, it is crude,
it is brutal sometimes, but it Is always
sincere. 1t directs against the citadcs
of evil the mighty enginery of laugh
ter. II does for our nascent abuses
what the mordant satire of Martial and
Juvenal failed to do for decadent
Rome.-Professor Herman Spencer in

Something of the institutional Church

Those who know of the Institutional
Church merely as name will welcome
the interesting details in "A Preachers
Story of His Work. which the Outlook
Company is putting out DR.. w. S.
Rainsford, telling of his efforts, says:
Twenty years ago there was dying
church on the East Side of New York,
because its congregation had joined the
gradual exodus uptown, year by year,
and churchless population had come
into the district To-day that church is
one of the greatest powers for good in
that great city. Its services are throng-
ed. Workingmen and workingwomen
sit and kneel beside people of wealth
and power. A parish house joined to it
affords recreation for those who have no
other places of recreation than the
Saloons the dance halls and the streets,
| as we'll as for those who choose to 60
there from homes of refinement for the
social life it affords. A trade school is
maintained by the church to supply in
dustrial training for the boys OF the
parish. Active organizations thrive
religious because administering to needs
that are fundamentally human. The
story of every human achievement is
the story of some human life back OF the
| achievement"

Burton Farmers Club.

The day for our last meeting was fine
and nearly all of the members were on
hand, doing their best to fill the pleasant
and comomdius house of our host and
hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. J. Sherman. The
scribe missed the first session, and after
dinner forgot to take notes, so will not
attempt to give an extended report, but
we had a good time, plenty of music,
plenty to eat and plenty to talk about.
Will only mention few of the good
things said
Mr.. Love in speaking of schools and
higher education said, 1T is all right to
send our boys to the city schools, but if
1t is too far for them to go from home, it
is best, if possible, to move in town,
where we can look after them, as it is
an easy matter to receive lower as well
as a higher education. Mr.. Woodin
thinks higher education will not drive
bows from the farm unless there is some
thing else that they can do better, or
that suits them better than farming, if
that is the case, let them go.
All who expressed an opinion thought
an education would not come amiss,
even on farm.
The question, "What can the mothers
do to help in the suppression of the
evils, that are the outcome of intern
perance, to which the children are ex-
posed?" was answered by Mrs. Post in
an excellent paper, she said, eve can
make home pleasant and attractive to
them, give them good reading and
games, let them have parties, help them
ohave the good times which boys must
have without going to the saloon for
them" Mrs. Devendorf read a paper in
which she advocated the practice of the
younger members of the family collect
ing the histories of the older ones and
their ancestors, and keeping record Of
them, together with the important
, events in their own lives. Quite an in
terest was manifested in the subject
among the members.
The subject, els it profitable to rent 9
farm, or to retain the farm and hire
help?' was introduced by Mr.. Potter

Beet Susar Industry.

The Beet sugar industry in Michigan
is passing through its critical period
just now. The legislation of congress
in favor of Cuba was the first real blow
to the industry in this state, which had
promised so well that some Sl7,0OO, QUO
had been invested in it. and two bad
years for the crop discouraged the beet
growers, and many of them are not in
clined to make the venture any longer.
The agricultural end of the industry, as
a matter of fact, has been wretchedly
handled by the manufacturers and the
unfavorable climatic conditions have
accumulated the difficulty with which
the industry has had to contend. Still
the showing for the country is fairly
satisfactory. the production of beet
sugar in the United States for the last
season being 20S, 1876 tons, compared
with 1915, 463 tons the previous year.
During the year nine new factories We're
erected. making the total number in OPP
Grafton SO, as against "A the previous
year In the line of production, Cali,
fornia leads with an output OF 6O,6Ce
tons from seven factories, although
Michigan is first in the number of fac
tories, and the production in this state
crowded California closely, being 81,
O64 tons Colorado has eight factories
producing 80, 500 tons, and Utah has
seven factories producing 2O.67O tons
| Michigan leads in the number of plants
| Nebraska has three. New York two, ant
Wisconsin, Ohio. Minnesota, Oregon
| Washington and Idaho one each. New
| factories are being erected in Wisconsin
Arizona and Idaho. None are being
erected in Michigan, although we be
lieve there is one at Charlevoix unfinish
ed. The Kalamazoo plant is to be re
moved and it is regarded as unlikely
that the Rochester plant will be operat
ed after this year in its present location
| The plant in Binghampton, N. Y, is tt
| be removed to Idaho.
| The cultivation of the beets is the con
dition that confronts the industry. TIL
risks involved by the weather and tn
cost of caring for and harvesting tn
crop is an obstacle that causes the farm
err to hesitate in engaging in beet cul
ture One of two things is essential t
the success of the industry here. I'm
proved machinery must be Introduce
to cultivate and gather the beet crop o
each farmer must be induced to rails
one, two or five acres, just what he Cal
care for without being put to large eS
pense in care If every farmer could b
induced TO do this the problem would b
solved.
Cuban reciprocity, however, was
body blow to the American sugar indus
try, and it will require the utmos
efforts of its friends to enable it to mair
tain its footing or make such progress
its Importance warrants.

Nature 'makes all things beautiful
in their time" Every one OF hfes sea-
sons. when life moves on Natures lines,
has its own charm and beauty. Many
women dread that period when they
must experience change of life. They
fear that face and form may suffer by
the change, and that they may fail to
please those whom they love. The
value of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription in this crisis of women's life
lies in the fact that it assists Nature.
Its use reserves the balance ana buoy
ancy of the mind and sustains the physi.
cal powers. Many women have expressed
their gratitude for the help and comfort
given by "Favorite Prescription" in this
trying period Its benefits are not pass
ing but permanent and conduce to
mental happiness as well as physical
strength.

Primary Reform at Grand Rapids.

Justus s. Stearns and few other
politicians are very pronounced In favor
Of primary elections and are wont to
point with satisfaction to its operations
In Kent county. But the result OF last
Mondays election will not be very
strong Endorsement for that method of
securing nominations.
A short time ago the republicans of
Grand Rapids by primary elections had
foisted on them as their candidate for
mayor Sybrant Wesselius. AS The
Courier has frequently stated, primary
election is simply scheme whereby the
minority Iule. and this proved true in
Grand Rapids, for while Wesselius re-
ceived more votes at the primaries than
any other person and was therefore nom
mated, the candidates were so numerous
that the votes that nominated Wesselius
were greatly in the minority as regards
the number Of votes cast, and his nomi-
nation was so distasteful to the republi-
cans that on Monday while the republi-
can majorities in Grand Rapids averag-
ed about 2, 1000, Wesselius was defeated
by over 500 votes. Here is little matter
for primary election advocates to medi-
tate upon.
The Grand Rapids Herald is ram
pant primary election advocate, but its
faith in that method must have received
a heavy shock by the nomination of
Wesselius as yesterdays issue says ed
itorialiy:
1.-The lessons to be learned are mani
fold Mr.. Wesselius was not only not
the choice of majority of his party, but
was positively Objectionable to large
portion of it. The revolt against him
was SIT ongest in the third ward, per
haps, but is found in every ward and
nearly every precinct of the city. Two
years ago MIR. Wesselius made more
trouble FOR the republican party in this
county and elsewhere in the state, by
melting the pro-Boer sympathizer'
against the administration of Presiden
Mckinley, than any other influence.
However, the Herald failed to men

NEARING THE END.
Legislature Will Adjourn By
Limitation Next Tuesday.
Total of ia Bills introduced
And About 100 Will
Become Laws.

Frankfort, Ky, March 6.-One
week from Tuesday the General
Assembly will adjourn sine die,
after a session that has been bust
ness-like, but with only few sub.
jects of general interest to be con-
sidered. Those important subjects
were disposed of during the first
four weeks, and since that time IT
has been a drag. No bill intro.
duced after this time can pass.
There have been $50 House bills
and 254 Sen ate bills, making total
of IA, which is about 200 less than
the number introduced at the last
session. About fifty bills have
passed both houses and there will
probably be fifty or seventy-fve
more during the last eight days.
All the important bill have either
been passed or killed.
This session has accentuated the
differences between the two politi-
cal factions in the Democracy of
Kentucky and has drawn a strong
line of demarkatIon between what
has come to be known as the "Ad-
and the "Anti-Admin-
istration" factions, which are led,
respectively, by Gov. Beckham on
the one side and by Senators Nc
Creary and Blackburn and Con-
gresham Smith on the other.

The outfit landed in a culvert ten

was closed up in the vehicle and
sustained two.inch scalp wound
and several very bad bruises.
He lost considerable blood before

stitches had to be taken in the cut
on his forehead. The wagon was
considerably damaged, but the
horse was not seriously injured.
