frieze, is an imitation Of burlap, the
ing a bronzed result This paper is
called Japanese burlap.
Many Of the best Of the floral friezes
are Of French design, says the New
York Sun, and all of the new designs
are cut out irregularly on the lower
edge. This style, to be sure, was intro
duced some time ago, but the earlier
examples were commonplace beside
those shown today, a variety Of which
may he compared for a lack of better
smile to delicate Openwork passemen-
trie. Take for instance the Cupid
frieZe, Cupid. representing the
daintiest pastel shades of white and
blue touched with rosy pink, is sus-
pended from chains of inch wide pale
blue ribbon q garland of pale pink
roses dropping from his fingers. The
interstices between the cupids and gar
lands are of course filled in with the
wall paper which in places continues
up to the ribbon chain and of course
harmonizes perfectly with the frieze.
The particular paper displayed for
this purpose had a white ground deco

an inch apart. Between these We're
two hair lines of blue. An alternative
wall PAPER even daintier had white
ground covered with vertical rows of
quarter-inch long leaves done in fine
hair lines of blue.
In the dealers opinion a solid toned
paper or a Powered or wide striped
wall paper would spoil this frieze, and
he emphasized the point that to match
most of the new floral frieZes nothing
was SO artistic as narrow satin
striped wall paper. Exceptions, he
said, were the darker toned oriental
effect floral designs, which would be
the better for a plain paper under
meath.
In this class was foliage frieZe,
study in rich browns and green's,
touched with red, which when mounted
over a duh green wall paper was ex-
quisite. Clusters of small roses almost
hidden by green and brown leaves, a
cluster dropping alluringly every now

be the edge were the frieze finished in

Where the Children Go,

Travelling any distance with children is
perplexing problem to most persons un-
initiated in the various customs OF the
train. II children are very small the
mother, II no nurse is engaged, should en-
gage a berth in the sleeper because the
two seats are then her own and no one
can take them from her and the children
are not looked upon as little nuisances in
the way of every one else. 1t costs but a
few dollars more than the usual rate and
is more comfortable. The woman who

densome packages of food, though a little

that children eat more on the train than
is really necessary simply because food is
usually provided in abundance, and the
restless child will eat more knick-knacks
than he would IL he were at home. III a

be placed on the upper one, though it is
not always safe to put valuables there.

Keep Money Moving.

There is no money in business un-
less goods are being constantly kept
on the move" says the Woonsocket
Or. ID Reporter. "A store which car
ries the same stock from one end of
the week to the other is not a prifit-
able investment. The only way in
which to make money is to keep
things moving and this can only be
done by making the public realize
that you have something for sale at
prices which will draw the money
from the hiding places. No man or
woman is ready to allow bargains to
pass unnoticed; bargains will at all
times win the cash and the only way
to accomplish this is to let the public
know what you have to offer. The
successful business man is he who at
all times succeeds in reaching the
public. To do that it is necessary to
use the mediums which people read
and which are ever before their eyes.
The daily paper is the one means by
which advertisers are sure to. reach
the people of a community. Consis-
tent and continuous advertising in
the daily papers is responsible for the
building up of many of the large en-
terprises of the country and the ad-
vertiser today, who does not reach
the people through the columns of
the daily paper is the business man
who is complaining of the dizziness of
the times"

SIS it Profitable for Farmers to
Purchase Commercial Fertilizer
Mr. Wiedman led in the discussion
saying that he had experimental
some with practically no beneficial
results. Mr.. Beswick believed that
200 pounds to the acre could be
profitably used where one wished to
! get a seeding of clover.
Several others spoke on this sub
ject, the general opinion being that
our land had not yet reached a point
where commercial fertilizers were
profitable.

Dredging Maple River Has Effected
Water Supply.

Since the founding of this village
the abundance and excellent quality
of we'll water has been matter OF
considerable pride to our residents
When other villages and cities were
complaining of a lack of water, or
that it contained disease germs. we
have never had to face either dilema
Fourteen to twenty feet drive wells
reached an ineXhaustible supply.
Of late, however. several wells in
the southern part of the village have
gone dry, necessitating greater
depth. 1t is claimed that this condi-
ton was caused by the dredging of
Maple River which runs along the
south and west sides of our village.
The fall towards the river is consider
able-a natural drain-and some ex-
press the opinion that when the
dredge, which now holds the water
back is removed. a still greater depth
will be required to secure an abun-
dant supply.
Not only private wells, but also
the municipal we'll at the water
works plant, may be in danger of go
ing dry. For years this single we'll
has furnished the city water and it is
to be hoped that nothing serious will
result-Ovid REDISTRIBUTION.

Obituary.

Frederick J. Schuknecht was born
in Germany on the 10th day of May
1888 and departed this life at the
home of his son, Frederick Schuk-
necht, Jr. of Bennington, Feb. 2S,
90S, at the ripe old age of "a years,
8 months and days.
In the year 1858 he came to Amer
lea and first landed in Buffalo, where
he was united in marriage with Anna
Elizabeth Schuknecht. This union
was blessed with five sons, one of
them being transplanted by the
Heavenly Father at the tender age
of 2 " years and the rest of them
growing to manhood and today
mourn, with fourteen grand child
rem and one great grand child, his
departure.
From Buffalo he moved to Lock-
port and thence to Wolgerburg, N.
Y. In 1867. he made his final jour-
ney with his family going to Ben
nington, where he resided for forty
one years.
The deceased was one of the early
settlers and pioneers of Shiawassee
county and by earnest and hard
work, he converted a large tract of
timber land to a beautiful and pro-
ductive farm. In 1880, his beloved
wife preceded him to the Spirit
world, and for 27 years he made his
home with his son. Frederick, near
the old homestead.
Mr.. Schuknecht was converted and
Joined the Evangelical Association
and helped to build the church in
which he worshipped God, about
forty years ago. He was faithful
member of the church, true to his
faith in Jesus to a peaceful and hope
full end and we believe he died with
blessed assurance of eternal life.
Two of his sons, Herman and Jo-
seph, are ministers of the gospel in
the Michigan Conference of Evan
gelical Associations, both residing in
Detroit.
The funeral services were held at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
Schuknecht, of Bennington, Monday,
March 2 and the remains were plac-
ed in the vault at Oak Hill. Rev. p.

Erwin Hammond gave us some OF
his experiences in the Philippines.
He said the Philippines were not a
benefit financially to the United
States. They have made extensive
improvements. Their chief products
are tobacco, hemp and sugar. The
native women do most of the work in
the fields as they have little house
work to do. as they eat sit AMI lie on
the floor, rice being their chief diet,
they set the dish of rice on. the floor
and all gather around and eat out of
the same dish with their hands. He
said he had not seen one intoxicated
Filipino while there. They have good
schools and churches. Their climate
is fine except in the rainy season.
