There must be
a mighty solid basis
for the phenomenal success
that has followed
the EMF Company
from the very first.
Of course. locally it could
be explained
by the fact that back of
this concern
were Detroit men of the
highest standing and most
F.. irreproachable integrity.
That would explain why
you see more EMF go cars
on Detroit streets
than of any other make
fact invariably commented
on by visitors to the city.
But it doesn't fully account
for the unprecedented
popularity and demand
for this car in other Cities
we may say every city
and every town in every state
in the union
Everywhere. EMF go
is first choice
of that class of buyers
who want all that can be had
of efficiency, power and
durability and elegance and
comfort at a price under $4,000.
(E-M-F go sells for $3.50
fully equipped with
five lamps, generator, horn
and magneto.)
The farther you seek
for the reason for this greater
popularity--for the splendid
reputation achieved
by this car in so short a time,
the more does it appear that
after all,
the car itself is the reason.
Ten thousand people
are daily engaged in selling
this car--largest sales force
and the cheapest---for
they all work for love.
They are satisfied owners.

Death OF Mrs. Caroline Moore.

Mrs. Caroline Moore, residing on west
King street, died at her home Sunday
night, aged 70 years. She had long been
in poor health although able to be about
and care for herself until few days be-
fore her death. Infrmities of age caus-
ed death. Mrs. Moore was born in Ger
many, coming to this country when a
small child and her home had been in
this city since before the ciyil war. Her
husband was civil war soldier, con.
tracing disease which caused his death
shortly after his return 9home. One
child was born to Mr.. and Mrs Moore,
dying many years ago. For nearly SO
years Mrs. Moore had lived alone, rare.
ly leaving her yard and had but few ac-
quaintances among her neighbors. She
however, seemed to enjoy life and par
ticularly 80 the summer months when
she could spend her time working in her
flowers Mrs. Moore was Rdevoat Chris
tian woman, with ideas of her own as
to life and those who occasionally visit
ed with her felt the uplift of her life.
Funeral services were conducted We'd
pesday afternoon by Rev. Staffeld, pas.
tor of the Evangelical church of which
she was member.

Farm Notes.

The National Farmer says that at the
Holland, Mich, sugar factory acreage
for 1911 is coming in freely and farmers
are signing contracts with their delivery
of beets to the factory" and that the
prospects are for larger acreage than
ever before in the history of the COM
pany."
Frank Freeland, residing near Mid
land, received 1894. 80 for the chicory
grown on three acres this year.
On the Fred Berner farm in Rush
township, 38 acres of beans were grown
this year which netted 81, 900 or $50 an
acre. This is more than the land would
have sold for only short time ago.
A. E. Chase of Essex, raised 225 tons
of sugar beets from 15i acres. He says
he knows of yields Of II to 10 tons pei
acre, and in one instance, 90 tons per
acre. The yield this year is the greatest
since the raising of sugar beets began In
Clinton county.--St Johns Republican.

Beet Growers Meeting.

Grant Slocum of Detroit, head of the
Cleaners in Michigan, will be present
at the meeting of the Shiawassee
County Beet Growers Association to
be held in Corunna, Saturday. Rep
resentative farmers from other counties
are to be present and it is understood
that a state organization will be form
ed.
The farmers of Gratiot county who
grow beets have partially formed a
county association with a capital stock
of IS, 900 and will incorporate under the
state law. The members plan to secure
the beet acreage required without cost
to the factories and expect the COM
panies to grant them an increased price
for the beets. Without question most
of the companies would be agreeable to
this plan. The point most insisted up
on in the Gratiot county meeting was
that there should be no feeling Of
hostility toward the sugar companies
but on the contrary friendly coopera-
tion.

No Smallpox in Owosso.

1t seems to be necessary for the health
officer Of the city, DR.. w. E. Ward. TO
deny almost daily the story which it
would seem is maliciously set afoat
that there are cases of smallpox in
Owosso. Read DR.. Wards last state.
ment:
eff the people who are circulating
the stories of smallpox in the city will
come directly to me or any member of
the board of health, we shall be glad to
investigate the matter. The state law
makes it a serious offense to conceal
any case Of contagious disease, and any
householder, hotel or boarding house
keeper or tenant who does 30, when no
physician has been called to the case, is
liable to arrest, and upon conviction, is
punishable by fine of not to exceed
one hundred dollars and costs, or ninety
days in Jail. There are no cases of
smallpox in the city so far as we
know"
All the members of the board of
health as we'll as the doctors of the city
have taken every precaution to guard
against any outbreak of the disease A
very large number of the residents of
the city have also done their part by
being vaccinated.

Birthday Party.

Seventy.five members of Colfax Re
bekah, No. 273, I. o. o. F. and friends
attended the birthday party" given at
the temple last night by those mem
bers whose birthdays come during Sep.
tember, October, November and De.
cember. There were % ladies who
were born during those months. The
verdict of those who attended the party
was that the ladies are excellent enter.
tainers.
During the evening games were play
ed and music, both instrumental and
vocal, was enjoyed. A solo by Miss
Irma Burch was especially well render
ed. In the latter part of the evening
Mrs M. L. Burch, who leaves soon
with her husband for Detroit to live,
was presented with beautiful silver
gravy spoon, Mrs. Rollin Pond making
the presentation speech and Mrs. Burch
responded in a fitting manner.
Following this, refreshments were
served and at a late hour the party
broke up.

Postmaster General Leads in a Raid

From the day that Postmaster Gen.
eral Frank H. Hitchcock became the
head of the greatest business institution
in the world his one aim has been an
improved service to the public, better
conditions for postal employees and the
enforcement of the laws which protect
the public from illegal transactions of
all kinds through the mails. His sue
cess is so generally conceded that those
who have followed his career have come
to look for still greater advancement in
the postal. department. Hislatest move
was to head raid made by postoffice
inspectors on Monday on two stock sell
ing concerns in New York which are
said to have fieeced over $4,000, 600 out
of people throughout the country. Mr..
Hitchcock estimates that over 800, 900,
900 has been illegally secured by get
rich. quick concerns in the past FIVE
years and he has determined to keep
this class from using the mails to carry
on their transactions. Mr.. Hitchcock
has also taken up in systematic man
rier which will produce results the aues-
tion ofthe amounts paid railroads for
carrying the mail-a subject much dis
cussed and about which little Is known
by any one. When he completes his
investigation congress will have reli-
able figures on which to act. The pres
ent greatest need of the postal service
is to have some one like Frank III.
Hitchcock made permanent director SO
that the work he has undertaken could
be carried on regardless of any change
in the administration.

North Newbure Farmers Club.

The November meeting of the North
Newburg Farmers club was held at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Winnie.
Meeting was opened by music and
invocation by j. d. Leland.
E. Hoisington and j. D. Leland were
elected delegates to the state conven.
tion.
Mrs. T. Cooling opened the program
with a very interesting paper. THE
Secret of True Happiness. She urged
that we cultivate cheerful, happy
disposition-do not allow yourself to be-
come morose, try to be unselfish and
| kind.
Instrumental solo was rendered by
Frank Moore. Question box was in
charge of w. Straugh. The first ques-
tion was answered by J. S. Lemon,
SHOULD not the Union telephone com
pany give the, same rates to all on a
party liner He thought they certainly
should.
T. Cooling suggested they raise the
charge to SIS year and give us Shia-
wassee county.
What do you think will be the re-
suit to the community at large of the
Democrat majority in congress2" A.
Wrigley: Just as safe or safer than
under present conditions. Couldn't be
any worse. Former members raised
their own salaries from S., 900 to 81, 500
year.
J. D. Leland: A Republican presi-
dent and Democrat congress may COM
plicate things considerably. During
Cleveland's administration the money
element went to work to make hard
times. 1t may be so now-do not charge
it up to administration. The more
evenly balanced the power the more apt
we will be TO have honesty.
/. Cooling: What do you think of
the law regarding paying tuition of
high school pupils by rural districts3''
He does not favor it. T. Lemon: The
district draws the pupils primary mon
ey. why not give him the benefit of iti
"Why does not Shiawassee township
have some state reward road2' A.
Straugh said he thought good roads
were very necessary. J. M. Collum
Cannot see much difference in state re-
ward and good gravel road.
This brought the question box to an
end and the president resumed charge
On account of so many being absent the
general program was carried over to the
next meeting. One new topic was as
signed. Cost of Gravel Road Com
pared With That Of of State Reward
