The shiawassee's Song.

There's song that stills my heartache
With Its wondrous, golden chime.
Cures my soul OF all It's sadness
With the magic of its rhyme,
Frees my past from every sorrow
And defeats the worlds sharp stings;
IT'S mystic mellow measure
That the Shiawassee sings
CHORUS.
A song OF woodland places, OF home ano
happy faces.
A song OF clover bloom and fields OF rye
or hearts asleep forever,
Beside the winding river, where the
Shiawassee sings their lullaby.
Shiawassee-winding river.
Your sweet son brings back to me
Cherished fancies OF my childhood,
Minglng with its melody.
Dreams the years had carried from me
On their swift, resistless wings
Are recalled and echo ever
In the song your current sings.
With the song there comes sweet incense
Floating back on the,oreeze,
Fragrance from the fields where mayfiowers
Cleaned bene ath old forest trees.
Fie DIS where flame of Indian blossom
Rivals lily's sanity glow
Oh u thousand memories mingle
With the Shiawassee's flow.

.Ihe Eaot of the Father.

Last Sunday afternoon Rev. j. Alex
ander Clyde gave the first in series of
five talks to young men at the Y. NJ. Q.
"A. rooms, and spoke in part as follows;
Personal consciousness emphasizes
two primary facts, viz, IL am" and
HE is" and the human soul desires an
explanation of their relations. That
t'He' and II" are related is a personal
conviction but the HOW is the question
the soul will persistently ask. The in
tellect may wish the existence of the
He'' assured, but the soul needs no
such assurance. it is already conscious
Of Him But to satisfy personal crav-
ings, HE" must be more than great
creative energy and more than absolute
moral governor. The soul is reJoiced
with the proof that He" is all this and
yet would have Him more. What the
soul wants to find in Him is personal
;ity, otherwise we are unrelated. We
must find that He cares for us as per-
sons. If seek individuality in Him.
He must recognize individuality in me,
and we must find in Him the explana-
tion for our being.
The soul asks, "What am II" as well
as "What is Hef" The soul seeks the
Father of spirits and is not satisfied un-
til it finds Him. Man will ever feel in
accounting for the facts of personal con.
sciousness. that I'VE are His offspring
and Gods revelation assures us of our
right to be called the sons of God. =
The longings of the soul are answered
by the gospel Of God and the seeking
one is brought face to face with the
fact Of the Father.

By C. D. Smith, Of the Agricultural College
CHAPTER v.
Plant roots do not spread themselves
over all the surfaces of the soil kernels
but attach themselves closely to the
sides of the soil kernels with which they
do come in contact Water, therefore,
has to move through the soil to supply
these roots and rootlets aud we must
now consider the movement Of the soil
water in normal fertile soils. "
Naturally, after a rain, the water that
soaks into the soil finds its way down
wards. In obedience to the force of grav-
ity, through the most available channels
These usually are cracks in the, hard
soil, or holes left by miuAScr by the
decay Of roots, or on cultivated areas,
the vacant channels between the soil
kernels. The rapidity Of the movement
depends altogether on the character and
condition of the soil. Aftera prolong-
ed drouth, the soil may be so full of air
and so freed from water films over the
kernels near the surface that the soak
ing in is greatly hindered.
Through coarse sand the water goes
downward much more rapidly than it
does through clay because the spaces
between the soil particles are larger,
allowing more room for the air to escape
and causing less friction between the
downward flow and the ascending air.
After the soil is saturated and the rain
over, there are still movements Of the
water in the soil The water not held
/ in the films about the soil particles,
tends to work downward until the lar
ger channels in the soil are emptied and
left for air and the growth of roots.
Naturally the force of gravitation pulls
on the water held to the soil kernels by
surface tension or capillary attraction
and the thickness of the film depends on
the balancing of the two opposing forces.
The water falling in the rain therefore
supplies these soil films and the remain
der keeps descending in the soil with
more or less rapidity according to the
size of the soil kernels and the abun-
dance of the rainfall until it reaches
depth where it finds the vacant spaces
between the soil particles entirely filed
with water. This plane, where the soil
is entirely filled with water is called the
water table. IL you examine well
t;ypu note that the water comes mp to a.
Ee>ain point 1t is safe'to assume that

unless, of course, the we'll be one driven

pipe is driven. In all wells dug and
bricked or stoned up, the level of the
water shows about the point below
which the soil is entirely filled with
water.
Do not think that this water, lying
sometimes twenty and often thirty feet
below the surface of the ground, is there
fore lost as far as the crops are con-
cerned. The roots of crops take away
much water, but more is dried up, evap
grated into the air, at the surface under
ordinary crop conditions. AS soon as a

And MT. Bailey Says He Gets Full Returns For
 His Money

The coming visit of the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth to this city, fresh after its unparalleled triumphs throughout Europe. ought co arrest the attention of every enter prising business man.
 The public already knows that this last of several visits to foreign lands made by the Barnum & Bailey Show, has been it's longest and greatest. It has been for five years in Europe. and it has been a revelation abroad of American magnitude and merit. Per haps no other one element has enter ed more largely into the enormous in- crease of American foreign trade and this is said in all seriousness. This fact is likewise a reminder of the fur ther fact that the Barnum & Bailey Show will very likely attract to this town the biggest crowd that it has ever held. It is well known by those who have ever studied the subject that crowds who come into this town to at- tend a circus come not only for hol- iday but for shopping as we'll These crowds are drawn by the reputation of the show, and that reputation is made first by the stupeldous scale upon which it is advertised and next by the exhibition itself.
 The minimizing observer might lm- agine that the vast amount of adver- Using of this acknowledged Greatest Show on Earth is superfluous, but its owner and controller. Mir. James A. Bailey. is a business man and invests his money only where he sees a re- turn. His business experience carried him through the experimental stage many years ago. and he knows exact ly what to expect from every invest ment he makes. and when he invests in advertising he does it with the cer- tainty that he is going to get a return for his money. Now, if it is necessa- " for such an enormous establish ment. as large as Rarnum & Bailey the Greatest Show on Earth-to adver- tise in the manner which it does, how much more necessary is it for business enterprises, not so well known. to ad- vertise? Indeed, the coming of this show is an object lesson in adyertis- ing that ought to be seriously consid- cred by every business man in this community. and the example it sets in advertising is one which ought to be followed by everyone thinking to 0o business as a matter of common sense procedure.
 The exhibitions of the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show will be held to- morrow afternoon and night. and this hint to the wise ought to be sufficient.

SOME REASONABLE ADVICE.

It may be a piece of superfluous ad- vice to urge people at this season of the year to lay in supply of Chsn- berlain's Cough Remedy. It is al most sure to be needed before winter is over, and much more prompt and satisfactory results are obtained when taken as soon as a cold is contracted and before it has become settled in the system, which can only be done by keeping the remedy at hand.
