West Michigan State Fair

September 0 to ! 4, both days inclus-
i've, are the dates of the West Michigan
State Fair at Grand Rapids. All rail-
roads in Michigan will issue half fare tick
cts to that city during the week, and the
city is preparing to handle comfortably
and expedtiously the largest crowd in its
history. The buildings and grounds are
in much better condition than ever before
and the largest, choicest exhibits in all
departments are assured The best mile
track in Michigan is in perfect condition
and big fields of noted horses are entered
in each class. The grand stand seats
5000 people. The West Michigan Fair
is certain-with its $4,000 TO be disbur-
sed in premiums and purses-to maintain
the fairly earned reputation as "Mchigans
Best FAIR" and our people need fear no
error of judgement if they make it point
to put in a day or two at Grand Rapids
during the exhibition.

Closed All Day Monday.

There will be no dry goods sold in
Bedding next Monday as the four up-to-
date establishments handling this line will
be closed all day. The proprietors Of
the different stores say that i is day of
enjoyment for the laboring people and
they will observe it by giving their busy
clerks rest.
We are glad to see our dry goods mer-
chants take this stand and would urge
our other business men to do likewise.
A representative will be on hand to
award the prize offered by Mr.. Lloyd, of
SIS 90 in trade to the man leaving the
largest load of ladies' in front of his place
of business before 0 o'clock a. m.

National Protective Legion

The disgraceful condition Of the affairs
of so many of our leading insurance COM
panies brought to light by the recent in
designations have done much to turn the
attention of the insuring public to certain
much more desirable plans of protection
and investment that have heretofore been
given far too little consideration.
The National Protective Legion, with
assets of more than S2,225,000 90, has
long since passed the crucial period inevi-
tably encountered by organizations Of its
character without waVering, and stands
today upon an inyunerable financial
foundation It's officers and directors are
men of high repute, keen business acumen
and unimpeachable integrity, and have
always fulfilled to the letter every pledge
made by the organzaitlon. Space forbids
our going into details regarding the
various commendable features of the
National Protective Legion, as such in
formation is readily obtainable on applica-
ton either to the Rome offices or to the
offices OF any Of the local societies, but
we are frank TO admit that as fraternal,
cooperative, beneficiary society the
National Protective Legion has no equal
in America and perhaps not in the entire
world
1t is quite unnecessary to remark that
there are SOS days IN the year, in any
one Of which we are liable 10 meet with
ACCIDENT, sudden illness or perhaps death.
How few of US are prepared for such
misfortune goes without saying, but it is
nevertheless sacred duty on the part of
everyone to carry insurance, and, in the
opionon of Commercial Journal no
better protection, combined with invest
ment, can be had anywhere than that
which is offered members of the National
Protective Legion. Certainly, for the
same outlay. no such indemnites as this
organization offers can be found anywhere

most palpable proof of the g~enuincness
of his injuries, for he wrote as follows:

WORK FOR YOURSELF.
Then You VIII Have "a Chance to De-

Then You VIII Have n Chance to De-
velop Your individuality. -
1t is well known that long continued
employment in the service of others Of
ten cripples originality and individual
ity. That resourcefulness and inventive
ness which come from perpetual
stretching of the mind to meet emer-
gencies or from adjustment of means
70 ends is seldom developed to its ut
most in those who work for others.
There is not the same compelling mo-
tive TO expand, to reach out, to take
risks or to plan for oneself when the
programme is made for him by another.
Our self made men, who refused to
remain employees or s~ubordinates, are
the backbone Of the nation. They are
h sinews of our country's life. They
got their power as the northern a
gets its strength, by fighting every inch
OF Its way UP from the acorn with
storm and tempest. 1t is the hard
schooling that the self made man gets
In his struggles to elevate and make q
place for himself in the world that de.
yelops him.
Some employees have a pride in
working for n great institution. Their
Identity with 1t pleases them. But ism
even a small business of your own
which gives you freedom and scope to
develop your individuality and to be
yourself, better than being q perpetual
clerk In d large institution, where You
are merely M cog In d wheel OF u vast
machine?
The sense of personal responsibility is

schoolmaster. Sometimes young wom-
en- who have been brought up in luxury
n who have known nothing OF work
when suddenly thrown upon their own
by the loss Of property or
compelled even to support their once
wealthy parents develop remarkable
strength and personal power. Young
men, too, sometimes surprise every
body when suddenly left to carry OH
their fathers business unaided. They
develop force and power which no one
dreamed they possessed.
We never know what we can do un-
I'll we are put to the test by some great
emergency or tremendous responsible
