The East Jordan Fruit e. Land Co.,

Interested. has recently completed the
setting OF young fruit trees-mostly
apples--using an entire 40 acres be-
sides 1000 CHEEKY trees on an adjoin-

able quantity Of currants and goose

recently purchased the 81 acre farm Of

Mr.. Foote is young man whose at.
tention was called to this locality
the Western Michigan Development
Bureau and was attracted to this par =
ticular locality through the special
advertising Of our real estate dealer
w. A. Loveday, who made the sale.
Western Michigan land prices
should be advanced at once especially
the prices of the land suited for or
chard purposes. People of means are
little shy about Michigan lauds be-
cause they are listed at such low ig-
ures California fruit lands, which
are no better than ours, are often sold
at 81, 900 an acre. AS soon as we get
our lands marked up t. 800 and better
an acre, we will begin to see more OF
the class Of people that we are anxious
to have as settlers inspecting our un'
occupied acres. All Western Mich
igan farm lands should be advanced
In price at ouce, SO the impression
will not get abroad that our lands are
I cheap and poor, for they are not poor,
and should not be cheap.-Develop'
ment Bureau Bulletin.

Professor Nettleton of Mankato who
filled the pulpit at the Methodist
Episcopal church, in the absence of
Rev. Earl, was well received and
gave powerful sermons both morning
and evening, being heard by both
denominations, Christian and Metho-
idsts. The sermon was like some

no effect. Returning home she pa
tiently awaited the call of the Master
whom she loved SO well, dying in
the full faith and triumphs of a
Christian life. The Rev. A. w.
Westhover of Elysian assisted by Rev
Porter of the Christian church at
Eagle Lake. She was laid at rest
