The Belfield ball team has fixed the
date for the benefit dance for Friday.
May IA. 1t is expected that this will
bring u a big crowd. A number of
Dickinson people have already signiied
their intention Of being present and
there is no reason why a big crowd
should not be in from the country. The
team has the best lineup ever to start
the season with. The old players will be
on hand in most every position and some
good material has been locating in this
vicinity. The boys are gritty and feel
like starting in with Dickinson this year
the same way they finished last fall.
The n thing that the business men
have been seriously considering for
several months is the need Of fire pro-
lection. just now since several new
buildings have been erected and more
are in the, course of construction this
subject has become one of vital import
ance to every, property owner in the
village. The present insurance rates are
about the limit and will keep on in
creasinlses until some good substantial
fire projection is. installed. Several
suggestions have been made and it is
quite probable that some action will be
taken IN the near future. A chemical
engine would. without doubt, DO the
cheapest and quickest way to get the
protection, but, unless an experienced
man is always on hand this, system is
none TOO successful and unless it was
fully. demonstrated that the system was
effective there would be no change in
the insurance rate. The; better plan
would be to build areservoir on the high
ground north Of the village and pump
the water into it from the river. The
grade would be sufficient to furnish one
of the best gravity ate systems. in the
state. It is very difficult to make much
Roadway, in getting anything. permanent
in this line when the village is not in
corporated. =

Osborn as a Candidate.

The announcement that Chase s.
Osborn, of the 500, is candidate for
the Republican nomination for Cover
nor. will be of great interest to his
many friends and admirers in Hillsdale
county. Mr.. Osborn's integrity and
ability are universally recognized, and
it is certain that he possesses some
qualities that are nseded at this time In
the administration of state affairs.
He is sure to receive considerable sup.
port in this part of the state. The
strength of this support will undoubt.
sdly depend somewhat upon the charac-
ter of the statements he may make in
the future regarding his policies and
principles
We sincerely hope that his attitude
when announced may be one that is
deserving Of general approval.-Hills-
dale Leader.

point of honorable dealings and upright
Lying. However, we are generally
agreed that honesty and square dealing
are two important factors to success.
Mrs. E. N. Waugh read a very enter
tanning paper on the subject, "Womens
Part in the Coming Local Option Con-
fiict in this County," in which many ex-
cellent thoughts were expressed. Mrs.
Waugh thought that every woman in
this county has a great responsibility
resting upon her shoulders in the COM
ing conflict, and no time should be
wasted in performing her duty. The
liquor traffic is one of the greatest evils
of the day, and its complete eradication
is necessary for the highest develop
ment of society.
What is Real Happiness" was the
theme of paper that attracted pro-
found attention, presented by Mrs
E. j. Cock, who defined real happiness
as condition of the soul, an outgrowth
of doing kind deeds. The root of real
happiness is servitude. 1t should be the
purpose of husband and wife to labor
for mutual benefit. Mrs. Cook spoke of
homes of her acquaintance where the
best of understanding did not exist and
as result financial distress prevailed.
Real happiness comes from trying to
make others happy.
Chemistry of Plant Life" was spok
on of at length by Chas Cook who hand
led the subject in very practical man
ner. Plants drew heavily upon the air
for food supply as well as the soil From
the air plants obtain oxygen, hydrogen
and nitrogen in large quantities. From
the soil some seventy different elements
are drafted upon to produce plant
growth and development. A large por-
tion of the elements of the soil do not
dem md great deal of attention as ma
ture has placed an adequate supply in
store for plant consumption.

Richardson was beautifully rendered
