President Harvic Jordan and Sec

Southern Cotton Association, have
bth Issued statements to the public
on the cotton situation which are Of
great importance at this time In his
address President Jordan advises the
farmers not TO increase the cotton
acreage in 1000 over what it has been
m 1905, while Secretary Cheatham de
clares that farmers should not mar
ket their crop for less than IS cents.
Those who have accepted the advice
rotary Cheatham, have rcaped bene-
his. Those who are willing to hold
their cotton from the market for a
short time, he says, will get IS cents
for it, the fact that the crop is very
short having been established beyond
the shadow OF a doubt The market

Uphold the Law

In a rccetit sermon delivered IN
Nashville. Tenn. by Bishop Charles
3. Galloway Of this. State. he used the
following language. which no doubt
meets with the. endorsement OF each
honest man.
Il say that more than anything
else we need in this nation Is an alb.
solute obedience 70 the laws OF the
land There IS great need for the
enforcement inviolate of every line
Of every statute upon our law books.
There can be no excuse or paliation
Tor the failure to enforce what is de-
clared to be the law. When the peo-
pie OF any community. upon whatever
provocation, undertake by their own
hands and without the authority OF
the laws to enforce vengeance or to
administer justice they shoot a
poisoned dart into the very life and
fibre of our institutions and impcril

Hired Girl, Hired Man.
All Americans who Amount to Anything
Are Hired People.

Considerable fuss is made because an
eastern millionaire has "stooped" 10 mar
~ hired girl living in Iowa. Just why
this should be so is not apparent. The
girl must have graces and personal
points or the millionaire would not have
chosen her. And il is safe to say that
morally she is his equal, if not his supe-
rior. There is no STOPPING about It.
They were on level, or if anything the
hired girl was just little above the mil
lionare.
All of us in America who amount 10
anything are hired people. No doubt
this millionaire is hired man In charge
of some big corporation. Roosevelt Is a
hired man; and so are all our senators
and congressman and diplomats ser
wants in the way of the people.
One of the things that is the matter
with this country is the growing tendency
to look down on the man who works
with his hands, or the woman who works
with her hands. The tendency is dan
gerous. Let us learn again that the
hands that are SCARED by honest toll
bear wounds as honorable as those re-
ceived in battle. The overalls and the
bingham apron of labor are as honorable
and vastly more useful-than all the
martial trappings and uniforms of war
Let US learn again that the doctrine of
the dignity of labor is fundamental to
the epublic.-Grand Rapids Herald.

Lake Cora.
A most Successful Season for this Beautiful
Resort.

The resort season at Lake Cora has
been a fine one, large numbers Of people
from away availing themselves of the ad.
vantages of this beautiful place. Last
Sunday with no extra attractions over
80 people were at the lake. Among the
parties of campers was a party of young
ladies from Paw Paw who were chaper-
oned by Mrs. Ezra LemauX. If hearty
shouts of laughter, snatches OF songs
boat riding, dancing and swimming con-
stitute a good time these young people
were certainly having it. 1t might be
incidentally mentioned that few Of
their school boy friends were tentlng
near enough to get over to the cottage
occupied by the girls often enough to
make it interesting.
jeff Chaffee at SHADY Nook was the
caterer for the party and that fact in
sured plenty of fish and other good eata-
bles.
Anyone who has been absent from this
lake for few years will be greatly sur
prised 70 see the number of convenient
cottages which have been built around
the shores Landlord Todd during his
management of the Peninsular hotel has
done much TO make this popular and is
reaping his reward in an increased mum
Der of visitors at his hosiery.

Trolley League.
Base Ball Fans are Talking About State
League for Next Year

Talk is already heard for base ball
league next year to include Kalamazoo,
Battle Creek, Jackson, Paw Paw, Mar
shall, Charlotte, Lansing, Saginaw, Bay
City, Muskegon and Albion.
The proposition is in too nebulous a
state to be certain which towns will come
10 and which will not, but that out of
the names suggested, six which will en-
ter and put up a good nine can be found
is considered a certainty.
1t is thought best that the six towns
as near each other as is consistent with
good base ball be represented; that ex-
penses be cut down as much as possible
and rivalry made as strong as possible.
Ii has been suggested that the league be
called the Michigan Trolley League" as
most OF the towns proposed are on the
interurban line.-Lansing Journal.
