matter of time, thought Mr.. Reynolds,
when every county in the state would
adopt the new road system.
1t will be up to the people of this
county next spring to say yes or no as
to- adopting this county road system.
Mr.. Reynolds believes it great i'm.
provement over the old method. If the
people vote yes. then the system is
adopted. The next move is for the
board of supervisors to. decide on how
many county road commissioners there
shall be, not to exceed three. What
their compensation shall be. And who
shall be appointed commissioners.
Clouds Lurking in the American
Horizon" was spoken on by A. L.
Chandler who thinks there are several
very mysterious clouds hanging about
us that are not easy to understand. Mr..
Chandler spoke of the Country Commits
sion recently appointed by President
Roosevelt, believing that it was farce
and only another means of spending
the peoples money. When class of
people are as well off morally, intellect
ually and financially as the American
farmer, lit does seem unreasonable that
a commission should be appointed to
investigate his conditions. However,
Mr.. Chandler thought possibly the aim
of the commission was more to suggest
means through which the national
government might more efficiently aid
the farmer thanifor any other purpose.
Misses SAdelia Wilcox and Addie
GLADDEN. gave "A Christmas story in
two chapters" that was very entertain
lngly presented, and spoke of the
different ways this great event among
Christian nations had been kept and
handed.down to the present generation.
Miss Ivah Bilhimer favored the club
with an instrumental solo that was we'll
received.
Mrs. A. E. Hartshorn read very ably
prepared paper on the subject of "Inhu-
ences that build Character" Every
influence, good or bad, that comes in
contact with human life more or less
influences the building of character.
During the early life nothing but the
best inviroments should surround the
child. During the afternoon excellent
music and songs were furnish ed by
Chas. Richardson and daughter Vera.
Miss Dona Richardson gave Mandolin
solo that received much applause. "A
Christmas Ode" by Miss Vivian Bilhim-
er was well rendered. The club than
adjourned.

Resolutions.

Among other resolutions the recent
farmers institute at Bancroft adopted
these:
Resolved, That we commend the
prompt action of the Department of
Agriculture in taking steps to nip the
outbreak of foot and mouth disease
in the state, in the bud. Their
prompt action is an indication that
the restriction which if long contin-
ued will work irrevocable disaster in
a number of lines of industry will be
removed just as soon as public safe
ty will permit. Be it
Resolved, That we favor the SUBJ
mitting of the question of temper
ance via local option in Shiawassee
county, and pledge our support to
cut out the sale of intoxicating IL
quors in the county. Be it
Resolved, That we favor the deep
waterway from Duluth to the Gulf of
Mexico, as recommended by Pres.
Roosevelt and Pres. Elect Taft

Is barren. or Improbable meetin,
possible when Christians meet "wiu

Would the Holy Spirit have com,
on this occasion if there had beei
divisions among them?
Can the Holy Spirit come to an,
church in which there are divisions
or into any heart that is not in "ac
cord" or love with everybody?
Verse 2.-Was the sound t'7e

were made by forked lightning. or
some similar phenomena?
What did the sound of the wind, and
the flashes of fire in the shape Of
tongues typify?
In these days of millions of good
books and papers, is the human voice
still the NEST potent means of testi.
flying for Jesus?
Was 1t the Holy Spirit. or the
tongues that "sat upon each of'them?
Verse 4.-What is your conception
of the meaning Of the statement, thsi
they were all filled with the Holy
Spirit" and how many spake with
tongues?
Granted that II is the privilege, and
duty Of all men 10 be filled with the
Holy Spirit; does the same hold good
with the gift of tongues, and similar
spiritual phenomena? (See I Cor. xii:

Verse 5.-Are there still "devou'

even where the historic Christ has not
been heard Of?
Verses 6-12.-Do devout men filled
with God still make stir in every
community?
What do Christians most need to-

Here is a simple homemade mixture
as given by an eminent authority on
Kidney diseases, who makes the state
ment that it will relieve almost any
case of Kidney trouble if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease. He states
that such symptoms as lame back, pain
in the side. frequent desire to urinate,
especially at night; painful and. dis
colored urination, are readily overcome.
Here is the recipe. Try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A well known druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients are
all harmless and easily mixed at home
by shaking well in bottle. This mix
ture has peculiar healing and sooth-
ing effect upon the entire Kidney and
Urinary structure, and often overcomes
the worst forms of Rheumatism in just
little while. This mixture is said to
remove all blood disorders and cure the
Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to

posed waste matter, which cause these
Affections. Try it if you aren't we'll

Little did the guests that gathered
Friday at the home of Raymond
Shaft, 329 Washington avenue north
to celebrate the golden anniversary
of Mr. Shafts parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John M. Shaft, of Shaftsburg, sus-
pect they were to witness a wedding

Miss Ann Job, Orrin Snow and Mr..
and Mrs. John Shaft, descended the
stairs and were met by Rev. O. J.
Price, of the First Baptist church,
in the parlors, and were married
The affair was such a complete
surprise that some of the women be-
came hysterical. Only one or two
of the guests had the least idea that
the wedding was to take place. I'M
mediately after the ceremony the
golden anniversary and wedding dim
ner was served, covers being laid for
forty. The tables were beautifully
decorated with primroses and smilax
and the place cards were adorned
with golden rod. The dinner was
served by the groom and his sister.
Mrs. B. A. IIolcomb. After the din
ner an informal musical program was
given by Miss Charlotte Morris and
Miss Norma Carver. The rooms
were all artistically decorated with

UNNECESSARY lNoUESrS
Will Not be Paid for by Board Of
Supervisors.


Supervisors.
Supervisor Godfrey. after consulting
with other members of the board of
supervisors, voiced the unanimous SEN
timent of the board in a resolution,
which makes it unwise for coroners or
justices to exceed the law in holding
inquests. The resolution was passed
Tuesday. The practice has grown up
of taking advantage of every opportun-
ity of holding an inquest, making
trouble and unnecessary sorrow for the
relatives and running up bills against
the county that made the supervisors
decide that the law should hereafter be
strictly enforced.
No inquest not petitioned for by citi-
zens and authorized by the prosecutor
will be paid for hereafter, and the ex-
pense saved will probably be thousand
dollars year.

ton, and they (the Congressmen) did
not want to pour money into station
which could be easily taken. On the
heels Of that statement comes the very
important cablegram that the two great
fourteen-inch guns for the Pearl Har-
Dor Notifications are being shipped on
the bark Mohican from San Francisco
to Honolulu.
To a iayman s mind this looks as if
somebody had taken time by the fore
lock and started the guns across the
Pacific to SO properly fortify the Pearl
Harbor channel entrance that Congress
men would have little or no occasion
to withhold the large appropriations
necessary to carry out the Pearl Har-
bcr development plan.
Somebody here is quoted as saying
that there is no rush of troops, mate
rails or munitions of war to.Honolulu.
The transfer Of portion of the Fifth
Cavalry here from Arizona was a rush
matter, and done SO quickly that one
Of the fastest cantonment- building jobs
on record was performed at Leilehua,
and even now the camp is not complete.
The troops came over in a hurry, and
marines arrived the same day in a
hurry. There is a constant grind of
work out at Diamond Head to complete
one of the greatest mortar batteries
built Oh the Pacific; no time is being
lost to get the big gun stations on Wal
Xxi beach completed; within SIX weeks
active work will be commenced on the
brigade post at Leilehua, where, in
time, there viii be sufficient accommo-
dations for three thousand troops; the
War Del artment has been given con-
troll of several acres at the end of the
naval reservation on the Waikiki side
of the channel to build storehouses for
various war munitions, and erect plat
forms from which to place mines, etc.
The War Department is to have the use
of five and half acres at the extreme
end of this reservation, which is en-
closed on the channel side by stone
wall. The reservation is composed
mainly of sand within this stone wall,
and is a few feet above sea level.
For several years it was thought that
batteries might be built on this ex-
tremity. Sand Island, recently built
up on the Eva side of the channel with
harbor debris, while used partly as a
