Burton Farmers Club.

On Wednesday, Jan. A, Mr.. and
Mrs. James ID. Post entertained the
Burton Farmers club and friends tC
the number of seventy in their usua
cordial manner.
Vice Pres. M. l.. Peterson took
charge of the meeting and the clut
was opened with singing, followed
by the devotional exercises conduct
ed by the chaplain, Mrs. Hammond
A committee was appointed to at.
tend meeting held in Corunna, on
Wednesday, Jan. IL, to discuss the
increase in telephone rates.
The annual election of officers re-
suited as follows:
President--E. B. Putnam.
Vice Pres.-George Rush.
Secretary and Treasurer-Mrs
ID. II. Hammond.
Director-W. j. Brookins.
Reporter-Mrs. Clayton f. Potter
Among the questions some proved
especially interesting.
What is the Best way to Care fol-
a Colt in Winter" Mr.. Post gives
his colt comfortable quarters, clover
hay, and grain, which he changes Ia
a different kind often, and plenty OF
water. Mr.. CARRIER gives a colt O
quart Of oats morning and night and
plenty of exercise with the hay and
water. A. B. Cook finds a colt a good
financial investment. At present h
has four generations Of horses on
his farm.
In response to the question, care
we Thoughtful Enough of the
Strangers Around us?" Mrs. Ham
mond read poem on "Those Other
Brothers of Nine"
Mr.. Peterson thinks a club fair
might be made very interesting.
Mrs. Fauth believes it would be a
profitable diversion and Mr.. Love
would have a county club fair and
each club then show what it could
do along domestic and agricultural
lines.
Mr.. Alchin has bettered his farm
during the year by painting his
house, laying few more rods of tile
and building more fence.
Mrs. Miller of the Riverside club
said their house and barn had been
painted, tile had been laid and a
low field much benefited; some fence
built and the street railway is being
built along the farm front.
lis the So-called Higher Educa-
ton Worth its Cost to one who is
going to Follow Farming as his Vo-
cation?"
c. E. Potter thinks not for a
higher education commands more
wages than may be received on a
farm, but an education makes the
farmer broader thinker for enjoy
ing life. Yet there are many success
fui farmers who have a limited or
only common school education.
A. b. Cook says education has a
broadening influence which cannot
be valued in dollars. There are two
kinds of education; that learned in
school of teachers, and that learned
in the school of experience. The lat
ter is perhaps better as it stays by
one longer.
How Much Alfalfa Seed Would
you mix to SOW With June Clover?"
Mr.. Love said he sowed ten pounds
OF alfalfa, two quarts of airslacked
lime and two quarts of June clover.
He had received a fine growth of al
falfa. Mr.. Van Valkenberg of New
York state said that there they SOW
from fifteen to twenty pounds per
acre.
Mrs. Fauth announced a fine pro-
gram to be carried out Thursday,
Feb. 2-the twenty-fifth birthday OF
the Burton Farmers club--at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Clayton E.

Cieaninss i'll the capitol nave noln-
ing on the housecleanings in other
branches of the state government
and its institutions. Nathan +. Simp-
son, the newly elected warden of
Jackson prison, is to have a house
cleaning of his own, which will
sweep away every man and woman
employed in the institution under
the CID regime Every guard and
every person in any way connected
with the prison Is to go.
Governor Osborn has notified Mr..
Simpson that he is to be absolute in
authority at the prison; that what
he says goes, without let or him
drance. If, under the conditions, he
fails to make good, it will he up to
him to get out. The governor de-
elared himself strongly on this mat
ter at the last board meeting. At
that time he said he wanted every
body to keep his hands off Simpson
and let him make or break himself
there. He suggested 1t would be bet
ter to employ brand new set of Of
ficials and Simpson agreed, but no
power either from above or below is
to try to tell the warden what he
must do.
In consequence of this position,
unique in the annals of the institu-
ton, Simpson has taken the bit in
his teeth and the housekeeping is
on. AS soon as the new officials can
be secured the old ones will go, and
the prison will be renovated from
garnet to cellar. both as to officials
and as to methods. A new regime is
on and Simpson is an integral part
of it.

A PARCELS POST,
Grange Demands It and Some
Day Will Surely Have It.

A Story That Points tho Moral If II
Does Not Adorn the TaIe-This Man
Wants Parcels Post, and He Is Not
the Only One Whose Profits Arc
Lost on the Way.
If there Is one thing more than an
other which the grange has set its
hand to obtain 1t Is parcels post sys-
tenn whereby packages of limited
weight may be transferred through the
malls. That such a system is bound to
be inaugurated In the near future Is
just as certain as that the grange will
never give up until 1t Is. 1t recognizes
the fact that the express companies
are chiefest opponents and that these
companies have able helpers In con-
gress. But parcels post Is demanded
by the farmers everywhere, and par
GELS post they will some day have.
Here is a single instance quoted
from Golfers Of Oct. 20. showing why
the farmer needs something besides
the express companies to convey his
produce, not that he will ship peaches
by the basket through the mails so
much as that If he cared to ship them
by express he wouldn't In the face of
the parcels post competition have to
pay the express companies all his
produce brings. Here is the little
story: A fruit farmer of Albion, N. Y,
lives near the shores Of Lake Ontario,
where the keen autumn air about this
time Of the year puts the finest flavor
In the world into those good old
fashioned apples Kings and Northern
Spies. He raises peaches, too, and
carefully took them to the railroad
station and delivered them to the or.
der and commission department Of the
American Express company. A few
days later the farmer, whose name is
Marc w. Cole, got formal account
Of the transaction, which read thus:
Thirty-six baskets Of peaches at 80
cents each.. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. N080

ENERGY OF
THE STOMACH.
Depends Upon an Unfailing Sup
ply Of Pure Red Blood.

In the human body, when the blood
becomes thin and impure, the different
organs fail to do their work properly.
One OF the first to fail is the stomach
and right here most sufferers from i'm
pure blood make serious mistake.
They imagine, because their digestion
is poor, that something is wrong with
the stomach itself. A reduction in the
amount of nourishment taken often
makes matters worse.
The truth in such cases is that the
stomach is failing to do its work well be-
cause it is not receiving sufficient sup
ply of pure, red blood.
Sucha sufferer should takea thorough
treatment for the blood with DIR. VIII

pills actually make new red blood and
