Chas. III. stout Places New One on
the Market-Stout's Leader.
Chae. H. Stout, the man who made the
Derby famous, has given the cigar smok-
ers of Belding and the surrounding coun-
try more real genuine cigar satisfaction
than any cigar manufacturer in the entire
country. Buying only the very finest
brands of tobacco for use in his cigars, he
takes great pride in placing before his
patrons the best that he can for the mon
ey he receives for them, and it is safe
bet that there are more Derbys sold in
Belding than any three other cigars on
the market.
Recently Mr.. Stout, having the best in
terest Of his patrons in view, has launched
on the sea Of popular approval a new
brand of cigars called "Stout's Leader
which is making bid for popular favor
among Belding smokers, The Leader is
a ! 0 cent cigar both in quantity and quail
itY for five cents. The sale Of Stout
Leader has been phenomenal from the
first and Mr. Stout says the Leader is the
best Scent cigar on the market today
barring none. Mr.. Stouts long experience
in the cigar making business puts him in
position where he is able to tell the ex-
act vane OF the leaf which enters into the
construction of the cigar and in putting the
Leader on the market he feels safe in say
ing that smokers Of Belding and vicinity
never have and never will get any better
value for their money than is Warped up
in this strictly p-to-the-minute high grade
hand made cigar.

HELD RECEPTION
Citizens Irrespective of Creed We'll
come Rev. Maxwell and Family

Citizens Irrespective of Greed We'll
come Rev. Maxwell and Family
A goodly audience turned out last FRI
day evening to tender reception to Rev.
G. W. Maxwell, the new pastor OF the M.
E. church, and his family. The audience
was composed Of nearly all denominations
and all did their part in welcoming to our
midst the new pastor who has been placed
in charge Of the society in this city.
After singing few songs, Rev T. J..
Clemons lifted up his voice in prayer for
the pastor and his family, that their stay
in this city might be productive Of great
good and be the means Of turning many
to Him who doeth all things well.
Mrs. Minnie Fredley sang beautiful
solo. "Geneveve," after which Herbert
Stacey who presided over the meeting,
gave a short address and called on Rev.
Maxwell for few remarks. That Rev
erend gentleman was in his happiest mood
and made everybody laugh at his witty
stories and jests. He was followed by
Rev N. J. Myers, who spoke cheering
words to the new pastor and welcomed
him heartily TO this city as another adjunct
in the carrying out OF the Masters work.
Miss Lena Parks also sang solo, Be
caue Love You," which greatly pleased
everyone, and was followed by Rev. j. A.
Baynton Of Holy Trinity Mission, who
said he was the dean Of the resident
ministry, having been here longer than
anyone else in that line. Mr.. Baynton
spoke highly Of the Methodist church and
said that he too was pleased TO welcome
to Belding the new pastor and his wife.
Rev. Winter was next called upon and
said that he felt as il he was the only one
who couldn't say very much because the
others had all had their say first, but he
could welcome the new pastor and his
family into the city with as hearty wish
for their happiness and success as anyone
in the audience. Professor Pitkin well
coined Rev. Maxwell on behalf Of the
schools and said that he felt somewhat
acquainted with him, inasmuch as he had
heard him preach number Of years ago.
Little Helen Hudson then sang lullaby
song, and after singing 'Blsst Be the Tie
that Binds" the party retired to the dining
room where fine luncheon was served.
The meeting took on the form Of love
in the dark" affair, as the lights went out
on them twice during the evening Some
one lit match to break the intensity Of
the darkness and others took up the lead.
lighting matches all over the church until
lamps could be brought into use. On the
Whole it was most enjoyble affair and
showed the regard our citizens already
have for the Rev. Maxwell and family.

GOV. WARNER
ALL RIGHT
Makes Fine Address at Grand
Ledge
Reviews the Glazier Failure-State
VIII Not Lose
Penny

Gov. Warmers special at Grand Ledge
Wednesday night was a well presented
and effective defense OF his admnistra-
ton as governor and a candid review Of
what he had sought to accomplish. He
referred to the fact that as a member of
the state senate. about ten years ago. he
had voted for Gov, Pingrees first bill to
establish equal taxation in Michigan.
One interesting feature Of his address
was the statement he made concerning
State Treasurer Glaciers failure There
was no act of his connected with Mr.
Glazier as an Individual or as state treas
urer, he declared, which he was not will
ing to publicly and fully make known
Up to the time that rumors of Mr. Glaciers
financial embarrassment reached him, he
had believed that Mr.. Glaciers affairs
were in the best possible condition. This
belief existed in Glazer's home village and
was shared by careful and conservative
bankers who were loanng him money in
very large amounts. As soon as an in
vestigation revealed the actual situation
the governor promptly demanded Mr..
Glaciers resignation; there was nothing
in heir relation that caused him to hes-
tate one moment in so doing.
Mr.. Glazer had contributed $500 10
the governors campaign expenses in
1904. The same year Gov Warner had
borrowed the sum of $4,000 from the
Chelsea bank, giving an interest bearing
note for that amount, which was paid in
full; but these facts created no obligation
on the governors part to deal with Mr.
Glazler other than as business man and
as a state officer No other money was
borrowed from Mr.. Glazier or from the
Chelsea bank, and Glazier's campaign
contribution was modest in view Of his
supposed wealth ard his contributions in
other directions. 81 regretted exceedingly
that public confidence had been shaken
in state officer, said Gov. Warner, "but
| permitted no personal consideration to
stand in the way of my official duty
The governor referred to the statement
that he mad recommended loans Of state
money to different banks and explained
that he had simply forwarded requests
that had come to him to the state treas
urer with the suggestion that if he deemed
it advis Ole he comply with the requests.
This had always been the procedure as
he understood it, and it was worthy Of
note that every one of the banks whose
requests he had forwarded to the state
treasurer had paid to the state every
penny of state money the moment it was

Charles Vincent, brother of Jerome

The roast OK barbecue in charge of the

is somewhat different from the way il
was done in the good old days gone by
when our grandfathers were in politics or
called out for general training.

The speaking took place from the band

ner Is Taking Charge of Contribu-
tions n Il Caring for Sufferers

The terrible and destructive forest fires
which have been raging in northern Mich
igan during the past week have called out
the sympathy and assistance Of the people
all over the state. Governor Warner is
sued proclamation and request for aid
and Immediately cancelled his campaign
ing tour and went to the scene of the fire
where he is now directing the distribution
of aid to fire sufferers, which has been
pouring in by the car load from all parts
of the state. During the past few days
large quantity of wearing apparel and
bedding has been gathered up in this city
and sent to Alpena, the distributing point
for the stricken people.
There are quite number of girls en-
ployed in the mills here whose homes were
in that part of the state and were burned
out. Mrs. L, E. Green, whose parents
live in Alpena, is well acquainted with
a number of people who lost their lives in
the fire. Six boxes have been made up
and sent by the Richardson Silk Company,
donated by the girls and men employed,
who gave generously, and also number
of employees of the Beldlng Bros. & Co,
The churches have also taken hand in
the work and with the assistance of our
business men and citizens generally, who
contributed literally, large amount of
goods and cash has been gathered up and
forwarded.
The act is commendabe one and all
who have donated to the worthy cause
are entitled to much credit. The dray-
men of the city gave their services of
hauling the goods free of charge to the
station and the Pere Marquette carries
them free to their destination. Those
who had charge of the work desire to
thank all who contributed and responded

This matter is of special interest al

very important part OF farm produc.
! ton.
! Our experience extends over several
seasons and we thought it might be OF
profit to some to know what is being
done in this direction on the expert
! ment station farm.
We have undertaken to establish a
seeding Of cloyers and grasses on . por-
tion Of the farm and herewith give q
brief account OF the results Of our work
during the past eeason.
Last April we plowed up ten acres OF
land on which wheat was grown the
year before, and fitted it for the seed
by narrowing twice with fine toothed
smoothing harrow. We then sowed
broadcast the following mixture, cov-
ering SIX acres, leaving the balance I'M
til later, on account Of the ground being
In lower portion OF the field and too
wet to work.
40 pounds common rcd clover.
6pounds Alsike clover.
26 pounds orchard grass.
epounds meadow fescue.
pounds English rye grass.
10 pounds timothy.
4pounds tall meadow oat grass.
This made 10 pounds of the mixture
per acre. The balance OF the feld
was sown to the same combination, at
the same rate per acre, except eight
pounds Of alfalfa seed was added to the
mixture in place OF the alsike clover
and Timothy seed.
No nurse crop was Eown with the
grass mixture. And here il whore
many farmers make mistake, by SOW
ing wheat, oats or barley with the I
grass or clover. 1t is the experience
OF the best farmers now that it is not
wise to SOW crop OF grain with the .
seeding The more rapidly growing |
grain crop takes the moisture away
from the tender grass, and clover
plants, and when the grain is cut the
hot sun burns these tender plants up.
The wild oat which is so abundant in
the soil Of this locality is quite enough
Of nurse crop, and soma attention
should be given to cutting this out Of
the way when it reaches the proper
stage. We cut two crops OF wild oats
from our field. The first crop made a
lair yield of hay. In cutting the wild
bats the moving machine should be set
nigh enough SO that it will not cut the
slower or young grass.
The last of November, when the yield
was last examined, there was fine
stand Of clover and OF all the grasses
Iown, so far as we we're able to detect
hem. Much OF the clover headed out
