Two CONVINCING Reasons.

Lord Peterborough. who lived in the
reign Of Queen Anne, was very frolic-
some, and one day, seeing from his
carriage a dancing master with pearl
colored stockings lightly stepping over
the broad stones and picking his way
in extremely dirty weather, he alight-
ed and ran after him with drawn
sword in order to drive him into the
mud, but into which he Of course fol-
lowed himself. This nobleman was
once taken for the Duke Of Marlbor-
ough and was mobbed in consequence.
The duke was then in disgrace with
the people, and Lord Peterborough
was about to be roughly handled
Turning to them, he said:
Gentlemen, l can convince you by
two reasons that am not the Duke Of
Marlborough. In the first place, have
only guineas In my pocket, and, in
the second, they are heartily at your
service"

TIN. Wicked Multiplication Table.


A minister was hearing his Sunday
school repeat the catechfsm one Sun
day preceding conformation when a
boy from the class of small children
ventured to ask question Of the min
lister.
Turning TO the clergyman, the boy
INQUIRED In an anxious tone, "Why
does the multiplication table make peo-
pie wicked:"
The minister thought at first that
the child had taken occasion to pro-
pound a conundrum at most unseen
" time and was about to reprove him
when the earnestness Of the express
sion in the upturned face assured him
that the question was asked in good
faith and required reply.
'.Why do you ask such question,
John? I never knew it to do So" he
said.
John turned to his catechism and
read from 1t with a mystified air the
question, did man grow worse as he
began to multiply and the accom-
panying answer, HE did"

STUDY OF POTATO RAISING.
American Department of Agriculture
Will Send Expert Abroad.

VIII send Expert Abroad.
Potato raising in Europe is to be in
vestigated by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. A special
agent Of the department, Eugene
Grub of Carbondale, Colo, is to be
sent abroad to study the European po-
tato in all its aspects. The department
has been interested in European po-
tato raising for some time and want
ed to know why so much larger crops
could be raised abroad than were rails
ed in the United States.
The average for the United States is
only about eighty bushels per acre,
while abroad they average over 100
bushels. In fact, on one of Lord Rose
bery's farms in England they are re-
ported to raise 200 bushels per acre.
1t is thought, however, that this is
some special strain Of potato, possibly
that used on the continent as stock
food. There is very large potato
that is raised in Germany as stock
food and for the manufacture of alco-
hol and this is now being tried in the
United States. but the results have not
yet been made public.
There is very large annual i'm
portation Of potatoes to the United
States. and the department of agricul-
ture wants to see whether with i'm
proved seed and better methods Of
cultivation 1t will not be possible to
largely stop this leak in agricultural
dnanceS

Treasurer-lively Canvass In
Past Two Weeks.
His farm crops taken care Of Frank
Fl. Rush has had time in the last two
weeks to cover large share of the
county in his canvass for the Repub-
lican nomination for the Office Of coun-
ty treasurer. AS result of this work
he expresses confidence that he will be
the winner at the polls on Tuesday next.
His canvass has been easier than it
would have been but for the fact that
he is 30 we'll known in connection with
the work of the Shiawassee Mutual Fire
Insurance Co. and finds among its pat
rons many in each locality who are
working for him. Many of his asso-
ciates during the nine years he served
as supervisor are also actively interest
ed in his behalf. These two factors give
Mr. Rush great encouragement. He
will appreciate your vote at the pri-
mary.

STOCK EXCHANGE REFORMS
Remedies For Reforming Wall Street
SUGGESTED by F. r. Toombs.

Remedies For Reforming Wall Street
Suggested by r. r. Toonbs.
The need of an investigation OF the
New York Stock Exchange and the
enactment of legislation that will put
an end to abuses in Wall street was
discussed before the assembly ways
and means committee at Albany, N.
" the other day in a hearing on the
Toombs investigation resolution. As.
semblyman Frederick r. Toombs OF
New York city scored the exchange
for its failure to reform itself and gave
many instances Of the evils Of ire
sponsible speculation in Wall street
Remedies for reforming Wall street
that Mr.. Toombs suggested are:
c'he Incorporation of stock exchanges.
the prevention Of "pyramiding" and
the abolition Of corners"
Members Of the Stock Exchange
should be compelled by law to have
their books audited four times a year
by certified public accountants, he held.
and the results Of these examinations
made public I'm some effective way.
A law should be enacted forbidding
any member of an exchange dealing
for or carrying an account for any
clerk or subordinate Of any bank. trust
company or banker or any insurance
company.
The listing requirements and prac-
tees of the New York Stock Exchange
should be controlled in some degree
by law and subject to review by the
courts in every detail.
Brokers should be penalized by law
for reporting a sale on an, order by
customer when the sale was not ac-
tually made.
The trading on stock exchanges
should be done on the basis of a rea-
sonably small unit, so that the offers
Of reasonably small lots Of stock
should not be ignored by traders offer
ing or bidding for larger amounts.
The hypothecating, loaning and 9th
er uses pf customers securities held by
brokers should lie rigidly restrained.
and precautionary restrictions should
be placed on the use of banking funds
and speculation by big financial inter
ests.
The practices of organizers and pro-
motors, the reorganizers and the re-
ceivers of corporations should have
closer supervision than exists under
the present laws.
IF the records of various transac-
tons Of the New York Stock Elk
CHANGE said Mr.. Toombs, ''could be
produced before this committee there
would be found records Of many trans
actions through which minority stock
holders haye suffered vital wrongs and
losses which the courts through lack
Of legal authority have been unable to
make right to the victims caught in
the gripping meshes Of domineerirw
financial power and greed"

STATESMAN FIRST OF ALL.
A Republican Of Republicans Whose
Position Is Never in Doubt

- sNSPeOssOe0 W bNCpdObCoU0 vvUO1C
Position Is Never in Doubt
Gen. j. H. Kidd gives Senator Bur-
rows the following strong endorsement
in his newspaper, the Ionia Sentinel:
The term of Senator Burrows will ex!
pire March 3, 1911. The Sentinel is
unequivacolly in favor of his re- election
as his own successor. 1t has consistently
favored him every time he has been q
candidate. In doing this it not only
gives expression to the choice of the
paper-its matured conviction as to the
wise and polite course for the represen-
tative OF the people in the legislature to
take, but honestly believes that it has
faithfully reflected the sentiment of the
Republicans of its county. Ionia has
uniformly been Burrows county. We
believe that it is vet. Unless we mis-
judge public opinion the Republican
electors of Ionja county will give an
overwhelming majority in the primar-
les in favor of continuing him in the
Office which he has done SO much to
honor and in which he has reflected so
much credit upon the state.
Senator Burrows is easily one of the
dozen leaders in the upper house of the
national congress. His name is known
and honored not in Michigan only. but
in all the states. He is one of the few
men who has hand in shaping the
laws. He is Republican of Republi.
cans, and his position upon public ques-
tions is never in doubt. He is and al
ways has been an ardent advocate of
protection to American industries and
is the highest authority upon questions
relating to the tariff He has had long
er experience in legislation than any
other man in Michigan. He has grown
gray in the service of his state, and it is
fitting that be continue to enjoy the
honors that he has so richly earned"

One of the statements being m ade to
injure Senator Burrows in his campaign
for the nomination in September. is
that he is drawing two salaries from
the government-one as a senator, and
the other as member of the monetary
commission. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. The strange part of it
is it is being told by intelligent men who
ought to know the general statutes ex-
pressly provide against such thing,
but is told, in many instances, to men
who do not know of this statute and its
penalties. Such tactics employed by
agents of the senator's opponent
ought to have no influence, except in
his favor.
