5000 Collected on Tag Day.

Tag day, July 8, was a great sue
cess and netted a fine sum for the
hospital that the Visiting Nurse AMI

build in the near future.
The day was bright clear and cool,
The committees and their assistants
were ready for business and by sew
en- O'Clock the streets were full of
enthusiastic and pretty girls putting
tags on every one in sight.
The headquarters were at the Elks
Temple with Mrs. A. F. Howard in
charge. Mrs. Northway at the head
of one division of workers was also
stationed there. Mrs. Southard
had her headquarters at Jennings e

There were several other girl!

Must Help Protect Forests.

Lansing, Mich, July s.-Game and
Forest Warden Pierce recently received
report from Deputy w. O. Frost Civ
ing details in regard to the fire which
destroyed about 10000 cords of four
foot wood in Alger county.
The report shows that during, the

who was ordered to assist the fire fight
ers, refused, and as result was arrested
under the law requiring every available
man to assist when called upon. The
law has been in effect about two years,

have been carried out. The Finlander

Detroit Blue Ribbon Races.

Owners, trainers and others who have
followed the work of trotters closely
are of the opinion that the record for
the SIC, 1000 Merchants and Manufact-.
urers' is in danger of being lowered in
the twentieth renewal of that classic,
which occurs at the state fair grounds,
Detroit, during the week of July 26.
This race has been the feature OF the
annual blue ribbon meetings since it's
Inauguration in 1889, and it must be
said that the outlook for great speed
and racing is brighter this yerr than at
any bygone grand circuit opening in
the City of the Straits. %
The M. & M. field is not only larger
than usual this year, but it contains
more fast horses than have taken part
in any one renewal. Sonoma Girl set
the record at 2:06l when she beat High
ball two years ago, and while it is ask
ing much Of green trotter to even
equal that mark, the early work of the
candidates indicates that a number Of
them have the ability. One of the en-
trants, Denver, grey foaled and de-
veloped in Michigan, trotted mile in
2:0S the middle of June. Another beat
200, and half a dozen came between
that and gil. This is exceptional work
for the season, and as all of the horses
now are sound and full of life. there is
every reason to look for something SEN
sationl when they meet on the big track
at Detroit.
Trainers have not been urging their
horses to these great flights of speed in
June. but the trotters and PAGERS are
80 far advanced that the task is well
within their powers. Evidently Detroit
is going to set the pace for the whole
country this year and leave little that
even later meetings can better.

Corner Stone Exercises.

The corner stone of the new Church
of Christ, corner Hickory and Oliver
streets, was laid yesterday afternoon
with very impressive services. A large
audience assembled under the beautiful
shade where benches had been arranged
and listened with eager interest to tn g
program. The choir sang three selec.
tions appropriate to the occasion. The
speaker for the occasion was Rev.
q. E. Tones, pastor of the church of
Christ at Ann Arbor. Mr.. Tones is a
new man in Michigan but his address
proves that he is man of more than
ordinary ability. Mr.. Tones came as
a representative of the State Missionary
Society. He said in part: The eyes of
Michigan Disciples are upon you, as a
church. Not only because of this
beautiful building you are erecting, and
the activity and prosperity of this con :
gregation, but also because our next
State Convention is to meet with you
next June. / congratulate you be-
cause you are laying corner stone.
This shows enterprise. 1t shows life
and activity. l congratulate you be-
cause you are laying the corner stone of
a church. This means much to tn @
community and the world in every way.
There is no other institution in the
world that commands so much brain
or exerts so great an influence as the
church. | congratulate you because
you are laying the corner stone of a
church Of Christ The name enscribed
on this corner stone is not one that ex-
ats man, or form of church govern.
ment or doctrine, but it is a nam g
that exalts Him who has redeemed us
by his blood. Be careful that you are
worthy of that name. Let your lips be
in harmony with the name you wear. "
Rev. G. NJ. Keene conducted the ex-
ercises and deposited the articles in the
corner stone as follows: A list of the
names of the pastor and church officers.
trustees, building committee, officers of
the Sunday school Willing Workers,
Burton Aid Society, Christian Endeavor

Good Sales jackson Prison Irvine.

Lansing, Mich, July e.-Michigan
farmers are to be congratulated upon
the prospects for the success of the
Michigan twine plant at the jackson
prison. The plant has been potent
factor in reducing the cost of twine to
the farmers. 1t has encountered op-
position from the start from the twine
trust. Over two million pounds Of
twine have already been shipped from
the prison. Last weeks shipments
were the largest in the history Of the
plant and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the entire output will be con-
tracted for before the close of the sea-
son. Farmers who have not yet placed
their orders should take the earliest op-
portunity to do so.

A World of Opportunity, Says Cong
J. w. Fordney

The patriotic open air service at the
First Presbyterian church at o'clock
Sunday afternoon was highly appropri-
ate for the nations birthday. Rev. Mr..
Vercoe's brief address on patriotism
emphasized the virtues of unselishness,
courage, hopefulness, perseverance, in
the place of difficulties, humility and
loftiness of purpose. w. E. Cole spoke
on good citizenship and made strong
plea for cleaner city morally. Con-
gressman J. w. Fordney expressed his
conviction that it was the duty of every
young man and young woman to i'm
prove oppo rtunities. This is world
of opportunity. God gives opportun-
ity. He made the trees of the forest
he left it to man to convert them into
homes. He made iron in the depths of
the earth; he left it to man to dig the
iron and to fashion it for the uses of
civilization. He gives men intellects
and opportunities, but they must de-
velop their abilities and seize upon their
opportunities.
THE principles of Christianity en-
body the things which are essential to
the highest success. The man who lives
for himself, though he accumulates
millions, misses the best in life. The
successful man in accommodating wealth
should be ready to help his less fortu-
nate fellows. The man who gets along
in the world, is the man who makes the
most of his opportunities, who looks out
for the interest of those who give him
employment:
THE man who will succeed must
turn his spare moments to account. MY
views of Christianity are liberal. 1 be-
lieve that the man who studies to know
and endeayors to obey the laws of God
is on the road to heaven. Saginaw
