FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

II I could wish for charm FOR life
and get my wish-I would ask for phllos-
ophy-the kind that makes one pillow
sturdny through adversely and smile IN
prosperlty's face. II Is given 90 a few
as a birthright and acquired by a smaller
number through misfortune. II must be
a comfort 10 find a hearable phase Of
every situation and 10 either ignore the
worse features or accept them as part OF
life's education. I have noticed this
those who have found the philosopher
stone never lack for friends and oppor-
tunities.
II IS surprising what human nature can
endure without turning sour There
passed away recently at an institution
FOR the blind a woman whose whole life
was a story Of sacrifice and hardship
cheerfully borne for the sake OF parents
and sisters. There was a cruel. dissi-
pated father who made life miserable
for everybody till he died when the bur
Gen Of support passed 20 the shoulders
Of the eldest daughter. The mother was
frau all the spirit having been battered
out OF her by the disEtDated husband
There were two sisters, both OF whom
inherited consumption. and a hHlf-wittcd
brother with a Well-dcvclOped streak OF
cruelty like that of his father.
The mother closed her weary life and
was really lamented by the family. The
girls died one by one, after long, har-
rowing illnesses which were O terrible
strain upon the sister but one she would
have been glad 10 bear a lifetime could
their lives have been spared. The broth
or lived 10 teach her what real wretched-
ness could be, and as a crowning blow
blindness fell upon her. But one day
that woman was heard 10 assert that
she had found a deal of pleasure I'm life
and was glad 70 know that she had paid
Tor every bit she had enjoyed.
There was philosophy for YOU. She had
more than one chance TO escape her bur
deps by marriage, and refused them all
She had opportunities 10 make money
and achieve fame, and turned her back
upon them 90 make life happier for those
who had no right 10 expect such sac
rfhCes. I often think OF the amazing I'M
selGshness OF that woman and her in
fallibly sweet nature when 1 hear the
petty complaints Of women who have
no real trials What would they DO under
real stress OF circumstances down
In the fight or develop the courage and
endurance which feminine nature is said
TO possess? BETTY BRADEEN.

readers this week for the last time in
the good old year Of 1909.
We took charge of the plant on

for nearly FIX months, have been
doing our best to make a paper that

l.. suse we could not read 1t. For
So, ,ral reasons, temporarily, uuavoid'

what we intend to make it. But
commencing the first week in Janua-

provements added and being added
will warrant this.
We are pleased with people Of
Marion and Cntteudeu county and
count ourselves fortunate IN casting
our OF with them; and the many
courtesies extended to us, at their
hands, makes US to feel they are
pleased with us. At least it is fat
tering to know we have lost but
fifteen subscribers and gained two
hundred fifty.
II our readers will notice, the
Record Press is different from many
other papers in, that every thing in

tribute. Mr.. Riley was asked to recite

eourse he cheerfully agreed to do so.

midocean entertainment, over which
the Rev. Myron Reed presided, were
two Scotchmen, very worthy gentle

Next time your slumber fails to ar
riVe on schedule time cast all thought
Of sleep from your mind and start in
to name to yourself all the friends
you have had or now possess. It's
much more interesting than counting
sheep. Perhaps you have only one
friend, but one is enough-he may be
the more appreciated. Just think Of
how you came to know each other. Of
how the friendship developed and of
the happy Incidents that have marked
your acquaintance. Or, if you have
no earthly friends whatever, let your
thought dwell upon the great Friend
Of the friendless and how you came to
know him. Somehow the most pre-
cious Of our earthly friendships Sem
poor compared to this one that dis
tance and time and even death itself
cannot sever. And there is one adyan-
tage in this attempt to defeat in
somnia-even your wakefulness will

IMPLEMENT SHOW GREAT.
superintendent Green of this Depart
nent at Michigan State Fair Says
Exhibition Will Exceed All Former
Attempts,


Superintendent v. V. Green of the
implement and machinery department
of the Michigan State Fair, says he
has nearly rs per cent more contracts
signed at the present time with man
| ufacturers who are going to exhibit
at the Michigan State Fair than were
registered a year ago in the closing
week of August. Never in the his.
tory of the fair have 30 many manu-
featuring firms sought to display their
products, he says.
"How do I account for it, do you
ask? Simply this. The Wolverine
state has been blessed with bumper
crops and these manufacturers realize
that farmers are going to spend their
money for improvements. Imple-
ments that will be displayed are all
of the latest design in labor saving
devices and the tiller of the soil
needs them. They have the money
and are going to spend it freely for
these necessities.
Just to show that the farmer is no
longer living the isolated life Of form
er years, l want to tell you that one
of the leading electrical concerns of
the country has closed a contract
with us to display miniature light
ing plant that is especially designed
for the farm. 1t is complete in every
detail and will make the farm house,
the barn, yards and in fact every
thing about the place as bright as a
city street. The power also is avail
able for running machinery, which
will do away with much of the hard
labor connected with farm life.
"The Michigan State Fair this year
will exceed everything of the kind
ever held in this state. l am an i'm
plement man and deal largely with
farmers throughout the state. They
are all enthusiastic over this coming
exhibition and plan to send the very
best for display that they can COM
mand Thousands have been prepar-
ing for the fair since the opening of
spring. The finest products and the
best cattle produced in the country
will be on exhibition when the vi?
opens on Sept. 2. mr." ""''''

How to Kill and Cook Postum.

Just how possum ought to be killed
and cooked is told in the Atlanta Con-
stitution by an expert known far and
wide in Georgia. He says:
ITO kill possum his head should be
placed beneath stick. Stand on the
stick and pull the possum's tail until
his neck is broken. A possum requires
careful treatment, and to cook one to
perfection peculiar arrangement is
necessary. A pan on legs should be
provided with a hole in one end which
Fan be plugged. Goals placed under
the pan will slowly cook the possum.
and as the grease runs out of the car
mass it should be drawn off from time to
time. All the time the carcass should
be basted with a sauce made of pep
per and vinegar. In the meantime the
potatoes should be boiled. When the
possum is almost done the potatoes
should be packed in the pan around
the possum, a little sugar sprinkled
over them, and then the gravy which
has been drawn off from the pan
should be poured on, after which pos
sum and potatoes should be Drowned
to turn"
