NO OPPOSITION
To Re Election of Judge Miner and
Commits sioner Slocum

Commits sioner SIocum
L. e Hewlett of Howell, who was
nominated by the Democrats Of this
judicial circuit for Judge has decided
not to accept the nomination and ii is
not believed any name will be placed on
the ticket in opposition to Judge
Miner which is certainly a fine compli.
ment to the Judge. Mr.. Hewlett evil
IDENTIFY appreciates the fact that the
district is quite strongly Republican
and that the services of Judge Miner
have been generally very acceptable to
the people of the district. He says his
law practice is more lucrative than the
judgeship and that it would not be
good policy for him to sacrifice 1T. Mr.
Hewlett, like Judge Miner, is highly
regarded in his home county and with
the men both in the race it would have
been gentlemanly contest. 4
Howard e Slocum is, also, unoppO he'd
for reelection as county commissioner
of schools. The fact that both these
gentlemen will have no opposition is
is the best endorement possible for each
of them. 1t will, however, doubtless
mean light vote at the spring election
unless the Republican state central
committee can stir up interest on be-
half of the state candidates.

created this week by an order to as

border line between this country and
Mexico, the purpose of the move being
a mystery. Several battleships were
also ordered to southern waters An

Sugar Beet Contracts Returned

The Owosso Sugar Co. has within the
past week refused contracts for nearly
5000 acre, of beets for this year, mostly
from distant points where the crop can
not be handled as advantagoeusly as at
places near by. Contracts are still be-
ing accepted for wagon haul beets.
The Lansing factory has 10000 acres
under contract and cannot accept fur
ther acreage. L. B. Dolsen, agricultur-
list for the company, says it would be
an easy matter to secure several thous.
and more acres for the Owosso factory.

M c HiGAN LEADS IN BEET
SUGAR PRODUCTION.
Thirty-Five Thousand Farmers Raised
I,lSO, 900 Tons Of Beets and Re-
ceived 81 900, 900 for Them
Average Of $40 Per Acre.

Average of $40 Per Acre.
For the first time in the history of
the beet sugar industry in the United
States Michigan is in the top place as
compared with the other states of the
union. This year the production in
Michigan is over 26O million pounds of
granulated sugar, as against 212 mil
lions1ast year. Colorado has been in
the first rank for several years, but
Michigan and California will be the
leaders in 1911, with Michigan in col
umn one According to statement to
the Courier. Herald by S. O. Burgdorf
of the National Farmer, the o fficial
organ of the Michigan beet sugar in
dustry, published in Bay City, the past
year has been the most successful and
prosperous recorded in the sugar beet
and the beet sugar line.
In order to produce the 26O, 900, 600
pounds of sugar it was necessary for the
35, 600 farmers engaged in this work to
raise 100000 tons of sugar beets, for
which they received $7,0O0,00O. The
average yield of beets per acre was a
fraction less than II tons, which is three
tons greater than any previous year maxi
ing an increase over the other years of
about 80 per cent. The farmers receive
on an average of $40 per acre from the
beets, nearly half.of which is net profit to
them after paying the cost of raising
the crop.
SIXTEEN SUGAR FACTORIES.
There are 16 sugar factories in Mich
igan and each one of these paid out
about $40, 600 for labor in the field in
the cultivation of the beets $50, 600 was
paid by each for labor in the factories;
Sc, 900 paid by each for barrels $4,000
for bags; $25, 900 for COAL supplies, etc.
This makes total expense exclusive of
that paid to the farmers of $2,576, 900,
and grand total of nearly $10,000,000
in one year.
Each of the factories employs about
300 men for at least four months in the
year, while a large number Of exper-
fenced men are given employment the
year round. There are 12 to 90 field
men sent out by each factory to assist
the farmers and give them instructions
as to how to secure the best results.
No other crop in the state it is claim
ed yields so great returns to the farmers
as he is now getting for his beets and the
only uncertainty is the weather condi-
tions which affect all crops alike. There
is no uncertainty as to what the farmers
are going to receive for the beets when
raised, as with wheat, corn and similar
products. The farmer makes contracts
in the winter months for the growing
of beets in the following season, which
stipulates the price to be paid for the
beets when delivered next fall, and
this price is fixed irrespective of the
price of sugar.
| CARRY SUGAR OVER.
| There is more sugar on the market
today than ever before and the sugar
factories are carrying over large guam
titles.
In addition to the sugar there are the
by-products of dried pulp, molasses and
alcohol manufactured by the different
factories, practically all in this state
having installed the pulp driers.
The beet sugar factories are now send

Denies New Trial In Damage Suit

Judge Weist has denied new trial
in the case of Glen Morse vs. the Grand
Trunk railway in which judgment
for $3, $50 was given the plaintiff on
account of the killing of his infant son
by train on the road. The case has
been tried several times. Attorney
Odell Chapman has represented Morse
from the first. 1t is probable that the
company will appeal to the suprem
court.

M|LL-EMD SALE
NOW IN PROGRESS
Semi-Annual Feast of Bargains Of
fered in Crowley Miner Store Under
Direction of G. A. Lockhart.

Indifferent advertising was permits
sable in our grandfather's day until
everybody in this world became sus-
picious OF advertising" said C. A..
Lockhart. who is conducting his
twenty-sixth semi-annual mill-end
sale In Detroit this week In the Crow
ley.Milner store.
Less than two decades ago." con-
tinued Mr.. Lockhart, people came
into a store TO do their trading, not
convinced that the merchant had ad-
peFtised his goods just as they were,
but TO see for themselves-somethi
In the spirit OF the doubling Thomas.
Merchants themselves were, no doubt,
responsible to greater or less ex-
tent for this condition, but gradually
the conviction has come that II is use
less To pay for valuable advertising
space unless the merchandise backs
up every line. II Is now a rare ex-
ception to find merchants misrepre-
senting their merchandise. American
women are the keenest and shrewdest
bargain hunters In the world"
Mr.. Lockhart conceived and copy
righted the Lockhart mill-end-sale
which he puts on in all the big cities
OF the country, travelling the year
round from coast to coast. He has
just come from Boston. His methods
in conducting a sale of this character
are as unique as they are successful.
Months before the sale Is scheduled.
Mr.. Lockhart comes to the store, con-
fers with the managers and buyers
and directs largely how the sale shall
be put on. The store has to be decor
ated with the big sale In view-huge
quantities OF merchandise are display
ed in the various departments, the
various articles are all ticketed SO
that the new clerks necessary for the
sale can see at a glance what the
prices are. The mill ends, not gen.
orally understood term, are leftover
short lengths OF cloth after the even
roll is ready to be shipped, and also
the leftover lots OF the manufacturer,
not imperfect or damaged goods as
many people suppose.
No mill or factory can possibly get
along from season to season without
having surplus, and cancelled orders
on hand. so manufacturers are glad
to supply certains lots of merchandise
at greatly reduced prices for these
mill-end sales. Formerly, merchants
refused to take anything but complete
lots; consequently these odd lengths
and odd lots were waste stun to the
mill owner.
Mr.. Lockhart personally conducts
these sales and In semi-auctioneer
style goes from one department to
another, instructing the shoppers as
to where the unusual bargains are to
be found. The sale In the Crowley
Miner store will continue for two
weeks.

This Maine Woman Was Cured Of Both
By DR.. Williams Pink Pills and 10
Enthusiastic in Her. Recon-
mendation of The Remedy.

Whenever the blood becomes thin
and watery or impure the whole system
suffers, energy is lacking, vitality Is low
and the victim falls an easy prey to any
disease which happens TO be prevalent.
To keep the system i'm normal condi-
ton, the appetite good, the step vigor-
Gus, the brain clear and the muscles
strong, a tonic Is sometimes necessary.
With the body thus toned up and the
organs active there is a greatly reduced
danger from prevalent diseases since
the germs are overcome and passed of
"a nature intended they should be.
The tonic used should be efficacious
and at the same time safe and harm
less for the weakest constitution. Such
remedy is DR. Williams, Pink Pills.
The experience of Mrs. james F.

blood-making medicine is given in her
