THE BUSY MAN.

If you want 10 get favor done
By some obliging friend,
And want a promise safe and sure
On which you may depend,
Don't go TO him who always has
Much leisure time TO plan,
But, if you want your favor done,
just ask the busy man.
The man with leisure never has
A moment he can spare;
He's always busy putting Off until
His friends are in despair:
But he whose every waking hour
5 crowded full of work
Forgets the art of wasting time
He cannot stop to skirk.
SO when you want favor done,
And want it right away,
Go to the man who constantly
Works twenty hours day;
He'll find a moment, sure, somewhere,
That has no other use,
And fix you while the idle man
Is framing an excuse.
Michigan Tradesman.

SHEPHERD CANNING FACTORY.

In speaking OF the local canning
factory, the Shepherd Advocate of
last week said: The canning factory
can be said to be now nicely working.
Corn and tomatoes are coming free
ly, and while the season is not ex-
pected TO continue long. Manager
Hubbard says the crop Is an excellent
one. Corn is holding out full better
than estimated, the number of cans to
the ton running a few more than
usual. Not enough tomatoes have
been delivered yet to keep the factory
running full time, hence the work
has TO be changed from tomatoes to
corn each day, requiring the frequent
washing and cleaning up after each
run.
Whatever may be said "a to the
care in other factories, the Shepherd
canning factory is kept scrupulously
clean, every machine, pail, pan and
other utensil used being thoroughly
NGSnNu anu oNd4ANd VIII SlOdlli dlNNl
using, the floors washed and cleaned,
and every part of the factory kept
neat as anyone's kitchen 1t is this
care that makes the product of the
factory desirable.
Manager Hubbard is already receiv-
ing letters from jobbers asking for
quotations on canned stock, and there
is hope that with proper support this
institution may become not only a
permanent thing, but a profitable one.
Good prices are paid for stock, and
while now the factory runs but few
weeks, it might. with good support,
be operated all the season Fruit of
all kinds could be handled and a first
class market made for all perishable
products.
Already about $4,000 cans of corn
have been put up, and 1000 cans OF
tomatoes.

guard Against Many Ills.

Nothing is MORE important to Alma
than the good health of her people.
How can they fill their place in this busy
town unless they are we'll?
No one trouble is responsible for more
nervous ills, sleeplessness, general de-
bility, weakness, back-aches, rheumatic
pains, even ill-temper and peevishness,
than indigestion.
Fortunately, combination of remedies
called Mi-o-na stomach tablets, has been
discovered that absolutely cures indiges-
ton and restores to health and strength
the whole digestive system.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in curing all forms
Of stomach weakness and troubles that
,thas. Rhodes gives a signed guarantee
that the remedy will cost nothing unless
it cures. Mi-o-na sells for so cents, and
is invaluable to anyone who suffers with
indigestion, nervousness or weak stomach.
