ON PLEASURE BENT
Three Sleigh Loads of Bedding People
Visit Smyrna Monday Night.

The excellent sleighing of late has
been the signal for a number of sleigh
ride parties in this vicinity, and many
a pleasant party has made the clear
air ring with merry voices as the pranc-
ing horses drew them here and there
along the frozen.
Last Monday night number of our
society ladies invited their husbands to
join them in sleigh ride to Smyrna.
The party, consisting of twenty-four
couples, in three sleighloads, left Beld-
ing shortly after 6 o'clock for Smyrna,
where the program of the evening was
to be carried out.
Arrived at the stopping place the
ladies asked To be excused for brief
period, and the gentlemen went to the
Maccabee hall where they were to
wait for the ladies. The ladies had
planned a surprise for the gentlemen
and in short time came marching
into the hall, all arrayed in the most
fantastic costumes as Indian maidens,
| black mammies, ETC., and all of them
masked. Fortunately some man in
the party had caught on to the scheme
of the ladies and when the latter filed
into the hall in single file, they were
greatly surprised to find the gentle
men wearing masks, wigs, etc., and
seated behind robe of white, which
left them nothing TO do in selecting
partners but to take chance, and
there were, of course, some pleasing
miX-ups.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Tullar, of Grand Rap
ids, had been secured to furnish the
music for the occasion, and the merry
party enjoyed the slight fantastic
for several hours until supper was an
nounced. The Lady Maccabees served
the supper, and ii was a fine one. AT
a late hour the merry party again
the zero weather and started for home
where they arrived in due time, hay
ing enjoyed most delightful evening.
The company are loud in their praise
of the excellent service given them by
the ladies.

The Family Reading Problem

To find reading that satisfies ones
craving for the bright and attractive,
and is at the same time perfectly suit
able for impressionable young people,
is at times difficult. The best maya
zines are admittedly published for ma
ture readers only. The Youths Com
panion alone is for the whole family.
While the editors keep in mind the
eager desire of the young for tales Of
action, enterprise and adventure, these
stories in The Companion are so we'll
written as to fascinate men and wo-
men in all stages of life's journey. And
this is true not only of the fiction in
The Companion, but of the entire con-
tents. The articles, by famous writer's,
convey knowledge that is useful to the
wisest and most experienced as well
as TO them immature. In short, The
Companion solves the problem for the
entire family. 1t is entertaining and
ii is "worth while.u

Germany,s Potato Crop.

The potato crop of Germany is near.
ly nine times larger than that Of the
United States, being over 100000
tons, some four-fifths of which are
used as food or for industrial pur-
poses. Nearly one-fifth are required
for seeding. In the manufacture of
starch and its by-products about four
per cent. of the total crop is used. and
for distillation about eight per cent
In Germany there are hundreds Of
small concerns in the potato districts
manufacturing potato starch and dex-
trine. These manufacturers obtain po-
tatoes at from 80 to 125 pfennigs
(21.42 to 29.75 cents) per unit of so
kilos, or ITO pounds.

DAIRY NOTES.

No matter II 1t is to be sold for
cream or butter, milk should be cooled
as soon as 1t Is drawn from the cows.
To make ten dollars clear from a
COW every year you must get at least
$40 out of her.
No other branch of livestock keep
ing can compare with the dairy bust
ness for enriching the farm.
Over-ripe cream means strong but
ter; over-churned and over-worked
cream means soft butter.
BY actual chemical analysis a quart
of milk is said to possess as much
nutritive value as a pound of beef
steak.
What Is the use of weighing the
milk of each COW? Not much, only to
show exactly which of your cows are
paying their board. Isn't that
enoughf
The frequent application OF elbow
grease insures clean milk, clean sep
arators, clean butter and generally q
clean reputation.

Progress was slow i'm Caesars time,
There wasn't many means of locomo-

Columbus, too, was way behind,
1t took him several weeks To cross the
ocean.
Every day brings new device
BY scientific means,
Now when you want a trip that's nice
Get next to the flying machines.
But as far as automobiles are concerned,
No rival has the Hupp,
A thousand trophies have they earned,
They generally take the cup.
Jim Jeff'ries can run five miles
And at the turning stake,
Will neither pant nor blow nor wheeze
And neither will he quake.
This shows endurance and great strength
To accomplish this great feat;
The Hupp should be compared with him
Because it's hard to beat.
You can creep as slowly as a moving
van,
Your satisfaction will be guaranteed,
You'd better take this thing in hand
If you're crazy after speed.
If in line to buy a car,
Wise men look this matter up;
The rest is hard to make rhyme,
AT last have it. Buy Hupp.

1t is certain that the art of printing
was known In the Celestial Empire for
centuries before 1t came to light in

invented In India. as a modification of

into China, and thence into Europe
by way OF the Arabians. about the
