The Meat Boycott.

The "meat boycott" which
started in the city of Cleveland,
has spread to nearly all sections
of the United States. Although
the movement is of recent ORR
gin, it has already assumed gil
gantic proportions, and thous-
ands have signed the pledge
to deny themselves the use of
meat for the next 30 days, or un-
til the price shall come down.
The agitation has even been
carried to our sister city of Kali
amazoo, and in all probability
before the end of another week,
petitions of a like nature may
be circulated here. Just what
the result of this agitation will
be is hard to foresee at this time
The farmers of the state of
Kansas have already filed a pro
test against the boycott and
have mailod thousands of letters
voicing their sentiments They
claim that the boycott is practi-
cally shutting off their outlet for
their fat cattle, and thus injur-
ing their business to no small
degree. On the other hand a
prominent Paw Paw lady who
farms some stated this week that
she could get but 81 cents a
pound offered for a fat beef, and
had to pay 10 cents per pound
for steak, and that she was
ready to sign the "anti-meat-
bill" at once. Thus opinions
differ, and it is difficult to see
the ultimate outcome of the agi-
tation. One thing is certain the
end is not yet.

THE announcement that Hon.
Nathan r. Simpson had resigned
as deputy auditor general TO &C
cept the position as state cam
paign manager for Senator Bur
rows, caused no little surprise
among his Van Buren, county
friends The news was received
with no small degree of satisfac
ton among the supporters of the
venerable senator, while the
Townsend hackers were evident
ly cup against it, so to speak.
1t is generally conceded, not only
in his home county, but through
out the state at large, that Nate
Simpson is one of the strongest
men politically in the state of
Michigan. His integrity and
honesty of purpose are unques-
toned, he is man of keen per
ceptlon and splendid executive
ability. He makes a success of
whatever he undertakes, and the
Burrows stock, not only in Van
Buren, county, but throughout
the state, has advanced several
points since the announcement
came that Nate Simpson would
manage the campaign.

OPERATION ON NOSE.

strating the fallacy of the game
laws which forbid the shooting
Of quail. The birds were more
numerous last fall than they
have been in years. Yet the
prospects now are that scarcely
single covey will be left when
spring comes. Farmers and
some enterprising sportsmen in
different sections of the state
have endeavored to feed the
birds and keep them through
the winter, and it is possible
that some of them may be saved,
but their ranks will be sadly de-
pleted by the heavy SHOWS, which
have entirely covered their nat.
ural supply of food. 1t is not
the sportsmen that annihilate
the quail, it is the hard, long
winters similar to that which we

business today and bring the reunion
to a close. There have been no serious
accidents and the health Of the en-

The principal business Of today Is
the report by the committee on resolu-

that committee, among them the ques-
ton of increasing pensions and the
controversy over the Robert e. Lee
statute. 1t is moi expected that radi-
cal action will be taken on any sub
jects.

lowing officers were elected.

The new commander-in-chief had an

Rochester's selection as the next en-

and San Francisco invited the veter-
ans to the Golden Gate city in 1915.
When New Orleans heard of the latter
invitation a veteran from the southern
city said the encampment would hear

year Of the opening of the Panama
