Always tho Leader.

The It. & G. Merriam Company of
Springfield. Mass, have just issued
Webster's New International Diction-
airy, based on the International of 1890
and 1900 The revision has been so
radical and complete as to constitute a
new book. The work has been in
active preparation for many years, by
a large staff of experts, assisted by the
contributions, of eminent specialists,
under the general supervision of DR..
w. 7. Harris, recent U. 8. Commits
sioner of Education. The number of
words and phrases defined has been
greatly increased, mainly from the
fresh coinage of recent years both in
popular speech and in the various arts
and sciences. The. revival OF early
English studies is recognized by such
an inclusion of obsolete words as to
give a key to English literature from
its earliest period. The title words in
the vocabulary are more than doubled
in comparison with the old Information
al, now exceeding 100000. The num-
Der Of illustrations is increased to over
5000. The book contains more than
27O0 pages. But the publishers desire
to emphasize the quality rather than
the quantity of the work, calling atten-
ton especially to the thorough scholar
ship in all departments and the fullness
of information under important titles.
By ingenious methods of Typography
and arrangement, the increased amount
of matter is contained within single
volume, not perceptibly larger than its
predecessor, and no less convenient to
the hand and eve.

Obituary..

Isaac d. Hanna, highly respected
citizen of Venice township. died at the
home of his son, r N. Hanna. on Tues
day, Oct. 10, aged 81 years, months,
II DAYS.
Isaac Hanna was born in the town of
Virgel, CORTLAND county. New York,
Mar Q, 1922, aud was one of family
of four children, three sons and one
daughter.
On Feb. ID, 1843. he was united in

an Kingsley, the latter of whom was a
relative of President Buchanan. Mrs.
Hannas oldest brother was the late

Hanna of Venice township, and two
daughters, Mrs. w. B. Mimic of Union
City, and Mrs. E. Slocum of Caledonia
township, survive to mourn the loss of
q kind and affectionate father.
In 1860, Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna moved
to Michigan and settled in Genesee
county, where they resided for FIVE
years. In December, 1865, they moved
to Shiawassee county and made Venice
their home fir ,m then until the present
time. Mrs. Hanna passed to her re-
ward on May 30, 1901, and left the
bereaved husband companionless for
more than years
In politics, the deceased was a staunch
democrat although having cast his first
vote for Henry Clay, the Wing candi-
date of 1874 During active life. he
held several township offices all of
which he filled in creditable manner.
Mr. Hanna was universally esteemed
by host of aquaintances. He always
acted the part of kind husband and
father, and his saddened children real
ize their irreparable loss but with
hearts bowed by sorrow, they offer up
prayer of resignation.
LET us be patient! These severe
Affections
Not from the ground arise,
But often times celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise"

bring its total Indebtedness close up to
100000.
The Michigan Milk and Farm Pro-
ducts company was organized recently,
being a combination of cheese factories
and creameries located at Elsie, Burton,
Chaplin, Ovid, Shepardsyille and Lowell.
Last winter it undertook the manufac-
ture of powdered milk with disastrous
results and the loss sustained then was
in the main responsible for the present
suspension. Its creditors are taking
steps to place the concern on a solid
basis, confident that strict attention to
the butter and cheese business will pull
the company through.

Harmony and New Deal

Sault Ste. Marie, Oct. los
born, Harmony and New Deal" is
the slogan of the Osborn campaign
committee, which is rapidly forming
in the twelfth district, to foster and
promote the Osborn candidacy. The
goal to which it will work Is 25,-
600 majority for it's favorite son in
the upper peninsula alone. That the
Osborn candidacy will sweep the
peninsula from the Montreal to the
Straits in a storm of popular enthusi-
asm is already evident. The dis
trict feels that for the first time in
it's history an excellent opportunity
is offered to place an upper peninsu-
la man in the governors chair. 1t
is also felt that such an outcome
would do much to closely cement
the two peninsulas in that bond of
sympathy and understanding which
is essential to the public welfare of
the state.
While Osborn's strength in his
so made evident by newspaper COM
ment and by the constant stream OF
letters rendering support which has
poured in upon him, that, through
out the state at large, Mr.. Osborn
has a remarkable following. This
is partly due to his activities in
state affairs during the past which
has given him a wide acquaintance,
but quite as much of this support is
due tn the general recognition Of his
fitness for important executive work.
His personal qualifications, as suc-
traitor, as a progressive and fearless
leader, as public speaker, and his
preparation by wide travel and COM
prehensive study Of public affairs,
combine to make him in the estima-
ton of his supporters, in all sections
of the state, an ideal public official
and worthy of the highest trust and
most complete confidence.
Chase s. Osborn was a candidate
for the nomination for governor ten
years ago. Since then he has de-
voted himself to business and a
study of governmental and admins
trative questions which has taken
him into ell quarters Of the civilized
world, giving him an expert know
ledge of political matters which is
shared by few public men in the
country. His ability as public
speaker is widely recognized. and in
addition, he is POSSESSED of an at
tractive, magnetic personality which
wins friends for him on every hand.
He has declared his intention OF
making an aggressive, energetic
campaign and will in all probability
be heard by the great majority OF
the citizens of Michigan before the
campaign ends. In such compaign
mis- abilities make him a formidable
contestant.

The sugar beet crop in this locality
is now being harvested and the weigh
stations both here and at Brent Creek
are busy places. The beets this season
owing to the long continued drouth,
are of less tonnage but the increased
saccharine percentage, it is believed,
will more than overbalance the loss in
tonnage. Some of the beets are test
ing as high az 90 per cent. The acre

raised. Flushing Observer.

The Michigan Milk and Food Pro-

at Elsie is in financial difficulties. Last
week the company closed its doors and
ceased taking in milk and cream. A
lack of cash to pay the bills is the cause
of the suspension.
Since the middle of last August it's
patrons have furnished it milk and
cream without receiving payment for
the same. The total Indebtedness to
the farmers is said to be close to $27, 900

Sheriff Il. L. tIigdon reports that a

turned in to him during the past few
days from holders in Birmingham and

this move is being taken by men who,

prohibition bill, do not care to have
their names published as holders OF
federal liquor licenses and face the
prosecutions that would certainly fol
