Ninety per cent Of the saloon keep
ers of Detroit violated the law last
Sunday and did rushing business
all day. This information Is given
through one of the first page leading
news articles of the Detroit Journal,
on Monday. The Joucnal further de-
tails the fact that there was not sa-
loon on Monroe, Michigan or Gratiot
avenues that was not doing thriving
business on Sunday, and as to the sa-
looms la the residence district they did
more business than on any other day
in the week. 1t was at TO Michigan
avenue, Sunday afternon. at Frank
Grffin's saloon, which was open with
the others, that William Roach was
shot and killed Sunday evening.
Roach was one of number of men
who were in Griffiu's place at the time
the shooting occurred. Just how
much consideration was deserved by
the saloon organizations of Detroit
in their promise to regulate" them
selves and to obey the law Is shown
through the Detroit Journals state.

blood on the floor OF the Michigan ave.

tcntly the saloons Of Michigan are
keeping up their outlaw record and
are through their day by day move
ments and results more than justifying
the greatest fears ever expressed as to
their dangerous and disgraceful pos
sibilities.
The horse reporter on The Herald
wants to know what is hobble skirt:
A hobble skirt is one made SO narrow
at the hem that 1t looks as IL the
wearer had picked up her husbands
paiamas by mistake, and dressed In
only one leg Of the garment. The
skirt is so narrow that the wearer has
to have her gait born again TO adjust
herself to it. and IL she tries to hurry,
she falls down, and the man who sees
her fall is spared flying Of drapery.
We hear great deal OF the Coming
Woman, but II she Is wearing hobble
skirt she will be hundred years later
in getting here.

The Farmers of Western Michi-
gan are Progressive.

1t has been said bv one with state
wide knowledge OF rural conditions
that the farmers OF Western Michigan
are today the most wide-awake farm
ers In the commonwealth. To prove
the statement the speaker said that
there is more activity among the
oranges Of the counties north Of Grand
Rapids and west of the center of the
state than among the grangers of any
other portion. Today there are 225
oranges In Western Michiga and
each of these Is force working for
progress, for advancement, for bigger
and better things. for higher standards.
Each Grange In its own community is
performing social and educational
function the results OF which are of
great value. The vitality aud wide
awakefulness Of the grange In Western
Michigan Is demonstrated by the fact
that the 1909 session Of the state Or
ganization was held In this region
and that the 1910 session Is also to be
held in Western Michigan territory.
Surely region in which there Is SO
much activity as regards rural matters
Is one in which it is worth while to
live.

Better Roads Desired.

A proposition IL being considered
by the taxpayers Of Denver township,
Newaygo county, Western Michigan,
The acceptance OF which will mean the
issuing OF bonds In the sum OF $50, 900
for better roads. 1t is believed that
with the state aid that could be Sc
cured, twelve miles of first class road
could be built. There are thousands
OF acres Of good farming lands in Dem

there should be smooth, firm, traight
highways that the products OF the

Pomona Grange Meet a Success.

The Pomona Grange meeting held
with Norwood Grange Aug. Is. 1910,
was, decidedly successful. When it is
known that the Lecturers program
consisted of four formal addresses,
three recitations, seven songs, five
selections on instrumental music, one
dialogue, and several impromptu talks
and discussions, its value and COM
pleteness will not be questioned.
Bro. N. p. Hull, Worthy Master of
Michigan State Grange, made ad-
dresses afternoon and evening, in
Thich ne fully demonstrated his cap
abilities as leader, and by which he
left an impression that must material

practice of calling District Conyen-
tjons for the purpose Of naming candl-
dates for Representatives to State
Grange, for the endorsement of

The time and place Of next Annual
County Convention was fixed at Iron

Thirteen saloon keepers of Traverse
City have been arrested for violating
the law relative to the sale of intoxi-
eating liquor to Indians. 1t now ap-
pears that the reason why payments
to the Indians on government account
were discontinued at Traverse City
was because Of the fact that the sa-
loon keepers there were violating the
law 10 a wholesale manner. Three
Indians lost their lives and many OF
them were kept in brutal state Of
drunkenness through many days by
reason OF the thrift and regulated"
enterprise OF the Traverse City saloon
keepers. The United States govern
ment took note OF the situation and
the result IN that thirteen saloon keep
ers find themselves In trouble. The
Especial officer of the government who
secured the arrests ia Traverse City
said that he found about the worst
conditions there that had ever come
under his observation. Two years ago
the saloon keepers or Traverse City
held back the adoption OF local option
through the acceptance of their prom
ise TO fully obey the law II they we're
permitted To continue In business.
What plea will they make use of next?
The vital statistics don't record
that great many people are worked
TO death, considering the number who
think they are.

SUNDAY. E"Holiday.

CATTLE-As usual on the last day or
the week there were not enough cattle on
sale to make a market or interest buyers.
For the week receipts have been quite
liberal as compared with last week and
not much different from the same week
last year.
Considering that this has been a holiday
week the market as a whole has been IN
fair condition. Under the influence OF the
very good buying demand prevailing beef
cattle firmed up during the first part OF
the week, but later on under the influence
of the sever break in values at Chicago
Consequent upon burdensome receipts the
market eased off again. At the close OF
the week tn market is not much different
from what it was one week ago as regards
The market on cows and heifers has
been in a good healthy condition all the
week. The better grades have sold freely
and at the close are possibly, a httle
stronger. on the other hand inferior
kinds have been rather slow and are a
little easier than one week ago.
The most unsatisfactory feature of the
trade has been the very poor demand Tor
stockers and feeders. While a few strictly
fleshy feeders, such as packers will bid
on, are still held at firm prices and about
as high as last week, the market on the
common and thin kinds has been extremely
slow and dull, with receivers finding IL
hard work to unload their holdings. Al
the close of the week that klnd or cattle
may safely be quoted at l5q25c lower.
Even at the decline it is hard work to
move that class of cattle, as no one seems
to want them, Quotations on cattle:

HOGS-The new year started out with
such light receipts that there were hardly
enough hogs on sole to make a real test
Of the market. When the trade opened
only twenty-one cars We're reported In and
only nine or ten back. In addition to the
fresh receipts there were FIVE cars that
came in late yesterday after packers had
filled their orders that had to be carried
over or sold lower. With so few hogs in
sight and with early advices from Chicago
indicating a lower range a. prices at that
point there was nothing here to put life o.
snap into the trade, still packers seemed to
want the hogs and considering everything
the market was not bad. In fact prices
paid were steady to stronger than yestcr-
day and the most OF the early hogs sold
in good season. A considerable proportion
of the better hogs sold at S.2OqS.25 and on
up as high as $S.35 for the best. The
lighter hogs sold from $50 Town. Common
loads running from rough heavy down to
pigs. were slow, no one being very anxious
for that kind any day.
