1T ISUP TO YOU.

Have faith in yourself. in your own
progress and possibilities and you can
almost create your life as you will.
You. yourself, are your best friend
or your worst enemy. Nature gives
you the option: Its up to you" TO
make YOUR life happy and successful
one or the opposite Life is but a sue
cession of opportunities; they are
for good or evil-as we make then ;
life is pleasant OF unpleasant. hard or
easy. according to the way you look
at it: the wav you think of life.
Thoughts govern action and he who
governs mis- thoughts is master of his
destiny. Destiny is not about YOU
but within you. You. Yourself, are the
creator Of YOUR own destiny. Health
full. hopelful, optimistic thoughts are
essential to strong minds and bodies
and success. Cultivate these thoughts
help from within strengthens: help
from without usually enfeobles
Have faith in yourself. Some one
has said that man may succeed when
others do not believe in him. but not
when he does not believe in himself.
Confidence in your ability means other
men looking TO you: the want of it,,
YOU looking to other men.

able warden for Jackson. 1t is a
some what unusual proceeding as Dir.
Blakeslee had no thought of asking for
the place and the wardens certainly
have no Interior motive in their en-
dorsement of him.
For those reasons the board of con-
troll of the state prision NAV well give
the recommendation careful considera-
ton. There is suspicion that one
cause for the board delaying action
relative to a new warden is that some
of the members hope Acting Warden
Wenger will be cleared of the charges
against him when his case comes IN
for trial and his appointment as war
den can then be brought about. Such

prison would be very unsatisfactory tc

preston prevails that il is time for

THE GREATER EXPOSITION.

The signal sue cess of the Saginaw

of the grandest events of its kind.
Nothing in the wav of effort or money
has been stinted to make the second
annual a brilliant success from every
point of view and with the prestige of
success behind it and the known
ability of the men behind the enter
prise. there can be no question tina. the
Industrial Exposition for 1909 will be
the big event of the year. The capacity
of the Exposition building has been
greatly increased by the erection of
the new armorv. which has direct
connection with the msmmouth audi
torium. All of this vast space will be
filled with products of factory. store

exhibition in a tempting and artistic
assemble, thanked by brilliant color
schemes ard embellished with lavish
decorations. Unlimited opportunities
are offered the visitor and spectator
to view the gorgeous presentations
and splendid equipment with far
reaching facilities presented to the
buver and trader.
For the entertainment of the

She Cowed COWBOYS.

With an old broom Mrs Peter An
derson, OF Montague, wife of livery
owner, vanquished two cowboys who.
with a fourishing OF revolvers, had
frightened away several men and de-
fed the village marshal.
The cowboys were members Of a
small wild west show playing at Mon
tague. Not having horses OF their
own, they engaged two at the Ander-
son livery barn for a street exhibition.
In order TO make the livery horses as
sumo the role of bucking broncos the
cowboys gave the animals the spur
until blood covered their TANKS. Mrs.
Anderson asked TO have them arrest
ed, but the horsemen laughed at the
officer.
But Mrs Anderson had her say
when the men returned the horses TO
the barn. As they dismounted she
charged with a broom from the sta
bic and put the two to flight. Then
she seized the saddles belonging to
the cowboys and held them in lieu of
damages for the cruelty TO the horses.
She received her damages and the
cowboys paid a fine in court

10 hold up the value of potatoes

effort to control the crop and keep it
out of the hands of eXploiters. That
is the purpose of a meeting of potato

next week. Potatoes are our home
crop and we are interested in having
them bring good paices This move to
have the growers organize for the
purpose suggested, therefore, appears
to us necessary and wise. But what II
it was coal, kerosene or lumber or iron

to be held next week? Why we'd all
denounce the soulless conspirators
against the public good and call at
tantion TO the combination feat
ures of some of the laws we all of US
clamored for. But good prices for
potatoes will help all of US here while
high prices for coal would hurt us,
That the answer. And its been the
answer since before history began and
probably will be for long time to
come Bot there's some gain in con-
Tossing our inconsistency and in ad-
hitting that it's really not patriotism
alone that MANY times has to do with
