One of the best mixtures for the

Equally good results are usually OBJ

not to scatter II too thinly and to re-
seed portions that come up poorly.

The seed should be sown in the open

Next Saturday is Registration Day for
the primary election TO be held on the
following Monday and we desire to most
emphatically impress on every voter in
Beldng the Importance Of registering and
voting at the primary election. Several
Of our we'll known citizens are candidates
for positions Of trust at the hands of the
people and our citizens should at least
take enough interest in their welfare to be
present at the primaries and give them a
good boost from Belding in their efforts to
secure places on the tickets. Nor is this
the only reason why our voters should be
registered and vote at the primaries, 1t
is evident that if Belding desires any po-
ltical prestige in the county or wishes ito
become an important factor in county,
district and state politics we must be able
to show that we can deliver the votes. A
word to the wise is sufficient. See that
your name is registered and that you are
one of the voters at the primaries on
Tuesday, September lst.

struck match TO see what time il was.

turned and ran, followed by two more
shots. Then the firing stopped and he
turned around in time to see two men
rush out Of the house headed for the T.
