My countrymen, one and all, think

object can be frustrated by it.

Maple River Farmers Club.

A we'll attended and profitable meet
ing of the Maple River Farmers club
was held Thursday last at the nicely
situated and hospitable home of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Richardson and fam
ilv. The beautiful day, splendid roads
and wide circle Of acquaintance were
contributory to making the event high
ly enjoyable.
1.-The Parents Duty Toward the
Rural Boy or Girl" was the subject of
an interesting paper presented by Mrs.
John Bilhimer.
s R. Cook gave an interesting and
helpful talk on Something 1 have
learned about fruit-its cultivation,
picking, marketing or preparing for
household use." Mr.. Cook spoke of the
vital Importance of proper selection of
soil and preparation for fruit culture as
much of the success depends upon the
right kind of start. Fruit should be
picked on time and when in the proper
stage for best marketing. Delay fire..
quently means heavy loss. Fruit should
be dressed properly for marketing as
quality and sttractiveness go a long
ways on securing good prices. Every
farmer should raise all the fruit he de
sires for home consumption by setting
out little of each kind.
Resolved, 'The placing of Canadian
farm products upon the free list as ad
vocated by President Taft is highly det-
rimental to American agriculture" was
ably presented by Theron GLADDEN., Jr.,
in a paper that showed the writer had
given the matter profound study. That
farm products should be admitted in
this county free Of duty can notldo other
wise than cause depression in the
market consequently lowering the price
of American produce. That wheat and
other grains should be.admitted free of
duty, and when manufactured into the
finished product high duty placed
upon their admittance is direct blow
to the farmer and protection to the
manufacturer.
P. B Reynolds said that if the pres
emit reciprocity measure advocated by
President Taft in the Mccall bill goes
into effect it means period of agricul-
tural depression. Farmers are just get
ting to point where they can do bust
ness on a cash basis and now t. upset
the whole thing is nothing less than
utterly preposterous. When the Amer
lean farmer is not prosperous then all
other industries must come to a stand.

prices prevail
"a Review Of the Governors Mes
sage" was given by Frank Whelan who.
in his usual entertaining manner, re-
viewed Gov. Osborn's message pointing
ont wherein our new executive had
broken away from the old party ring
and was determined to give the people
OF. Michigan for the first time in many
years a decent administration, some
thing the people of this state have been
praying for long while. Is is self
apparent that some one has awakened
from long sleep and come to realize
that at last part Of the people do know
what they want and that they are 60

that the house cleaning process has had
