NEW TILE INDUSTRY.
Il. 4. Timby Secures Letters of Patent on "A
Cement Tile Machine.

1t is a well understood fact by
the up-to-date farmer that under
draining is necessary, if best results
are to be obtained from clay, muck
or loan lands Such lands properly
tiled are rendered friable more cas-
ily cultivated and the same Gull
ture will liberate larger percentage
of plant food, resulting in an in
creased crop yield to the acre, For
permanent and effectual drainage, tile
should be of the best quality and
properly laid. The cost OF digging
the trench for poor tile is the same
as for a good one, and if a soft clay
tile is used it is only a question of
time when it will disintegrate and
dissolve and the work must be done
over. whereas if an indistructible
stone tile, made from Portland cc-
ment and sand is used the work is
permanent and eflec,ual, as the longer
they lay under ground the more per
feet stone they become While IL
may be urged that d vitrihed or
glazed tile is practically undistruct-
Bile, and meets The requirements Tor
permanent drain, another difficulty
is experienced in this use, as it often
occurs that tile running from heav,

LISTEN BEET GROVER
The Alma Sugar Co. Beet Sheds
viii Be Opened Sept. 10th.
HELP IS BEGINNING TO ARRIVE
One Hundred Loads IF BeetS Wanted
The First Day-Start Eariy
and Get the Help.

We shall open our beet sheds
Thursday morning, Sept. goth, and
would like to get 100 or more loads
OF beets the first day. Our factory
is ready to start just as soon as we
can get beets enough so that there
is no danger of waiting for them.
From the tests now taken, we think
that all bccts soWn carly i'm May, the
harvesting can begin the 18th inst.
Bccts that were sown carly and are
badly blightcd, we should harvest just
as soon as possible. but late sowu
bccts that are blighted, We should
leave until next month before har-
ycsting. There are many carly-sown
beets which we think are as good now
or even better than they will be after
heavy rains We have noticed in pre-
vious years that early-sown beets al
ways lose sugar content very rapid
ly after heavy rains, while late-sown
beets that are green and nice lose
but little sugar content from heavy
rains. We are very anxious to get
our mill started early, and if all who
have early-sown beets will start har-
vesting and deliver us a few, we can
soon begin running and keep the
beets cut out as fast as the farmers
wish to get them in.
Help is beginning to come in now
and those who start early will get the
first help. If you are short of help
let lis know, for we may be able to
send you some, as we have parties in
quiIing for labor quite often.
We shall open our weigh stations
just as soon as the farmers at any
time get ready TO draw rs SIX or eight
loads per day. We think it advisable
to drop a word of caution about
spreading the blight to our beet
fields another year Where fields are
blighted badly, we should leave the
tops right on the field and not feed
them so the germs of blight will get
into any manure that will be drawn
on the field for bcets another season.
The tops are very valuable for manure
and where blighted badly, we think
the best and safest way to plow
under right in the field and no bects
put into that field for at least three
years. In no instance should bcets
be put in next year on a field where
there was mught blight this year.

COLLEGE NOTES.

The prospects for the college are
better than they have been for the

Already there are seventy young
ladies enrolled in Wright Hall and
of course many more are expected to
enter during the next few weeks.
All the rooms in Pioneer Hall are
taken and occasionally one may find
three fellows located in a room where
but one or two were found last year
Everyone is sorry TO know that
Frank Angel will not be member of

and fast men in the freshman class.
Never before have the prospects
been so favorable for base ball,
Among the base ball men found in
the frcshmcn's ranks are SANDY" and
Dan Duncanson, Erwin Bradheld and
Frank McComb from Cass City. Five
more are, expected from Elkon. The
lockers have been taken from the

RHINES.McCLURE WEDDING.
Two Cratiot Comfy Young People Are
United in Marriage.

On Wednesday evening, Sept 5th,
at Pleasant View Farm, Washington
township, the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. {. Rhines, occurred the scene Of
a very pretty wedding, when Miss
Pearl Z. McCluer, the only daughter
OF Mr. and Mrs. Z. d. McCluer of
Fulton, was united in marriage with
June r. Rhines.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. A. NJ Haddix of Eureka. Miss
Tatha Rhines, a sister of the groom,
was the maid Of honor and Ora
Rhines, a cousin, acted as groom's
man
Promptly at o'clock, while Chas.
E. Rice's popular march, "Thel Bellies
of Dixie was being played by Miss
Lucy Keller OF Fulton, the bridal
couple and their attendants descended
The stairs and took their position
under an archway of evergrecns,
roses and wedding bells.
The bride was beautifully dressed
in white silk and carried a boquet
OF roses and asters. The groom wore
the conventional black.
After the ceremony and congratu-
laGons, the guests, consisting of about
forty OF the immediate relatives, were
served with a bountiful repast
Mr. and Mrs. Rhines were the re-
cipients Of many beautiful and cost
~ gifts. They are both we'll known
throughout the county and are high
ly esteemed by many friends, who ex-
tend congratulations and wish them
a happy and prosperous future.

land into softer, Sand or muck, the
ends of the tile sag, or pocket as
it is termed, and the pocket SO form
ed will fill with sediment and close
the drain. 7 T. Timby of Alma has
recently perfected a cement tile and
a machine for making the same. that
not only fully ovcrcomcs all of the
objections above mentioned, but on
account of peculiar construction, has
more than double the intake capacity,
hence will take the water from field
in one half the time required by any
other tile on the market This state
ment may appear eXtravagant by
Il any who have not examined this new
drainage tile, which is made in halves
or cut in two pieces two feet long
with a locking groove or ilange on
either edge which prevents the tile
from getting out of line. When laid
the end joints of the upper half meet
in the center of each lower half. so
that the weight OF earth on the upper
section supports the projecting end
of the lower section, so it cannot
sag or pocket. and being in halves,
an intake water joint is created not
only at the ends but the entire
length on both sides of the complct-
ed drain, giving more than double
the intake capacity of the ordinary
tile. and as neither upper nor lower
full carrying capacity of the tile is
insured Samples of this tile and
machines for making the same in
sizes from three up TO eight inches

SUGAR PLANTS JOINED
Formal Organization OF $I2,-

Effected.
SIXTEEN DIRECTORS CHOSEN
Also Officers With Exception Of Treas
urer-C. B. Warren of Detroit

The Saginaw Courier-H Herald of
Saturday said At a meeting of the
incorporators of the new Michigan
Sugar company, held in this city Sat
furday, the details of the organization
were perfected and the officers for
mally elected. This step marks the
successful accomplishment OF the
project, and the rounding ont into
practical form of the plans that have
been discussed for some time.
The company in its developed
form, is a gigantic corporation in
volving most important interests. In
the tentative incorporation the capital
stock of some $4,000 was given
merely for the purpose Of incorpora-
tion and gave no idea of the actual
magnitude Of the interests involved
The capital stock of the new com
pany is now paced at $4,000, 600
$5,OOO,0OO preferred and $7,5OO,OOO
common.
Six factories are consolidated in
the organization-th Saginaw Val
ley, the Alma, the Bay City, the Sebe-
waing, the Caro-, and the Croswell
plants. The taking in of other fac
tories was at no time considered, de-
spite reports, for the reason that the
consolidation is purely an economic
one, and these six factories are in
compact and contiguous territory. 1t
is the expectation that the ultimate
result will be vastly better for the
beet grower as we'll as for the manu-
facturers. General offices of the
Michigan company will ibe at Sagi-
nav.
Officers OF the company have been
elected as follows:
Charles B. Warren, president; A.

BIG FIRE AT RIVERDALE
An Old Landmark Gone-J. W. Robinson
Big shingle Mill Burned
Last Saturday.

The fire was discovered between
/ and in the afternoon, directly after
the freight train had passed west 1t
seems impossible to trace the exact
cause of the fire, but supposedly was
caused in some way by the train en-
gine. The building and contents were
total loss, nothing remaining but
the ruins of the boiler. The follow
ing machinery, all in perfect running
order, were in the building when the
fire started, and the inhammable na
turc Of the building made the heat so
intense that it was impossible TO re-
move anything from the burning
building, although the crowd that
gathered at once did their best in
trying TO save some, at least, Of the
machinery. Machines destroyed were
a shingle machine, cut off saw, pack
ing frames, log turner, bolting saw,
two knot saw machines, engine and
boiler. log hoist, saw husk and log
carriage, patent edger, saw GUNNER,
in fact everything in tho building.
Mr. Robinson's loss will reach into
the thousands, on which there was no
insurance.
