Wholesalers Strongly
Urge Reciprocity

The Wholesalers and Manufacture
ers' association OF Detroit has adopt
ed strong resolutions urging the
Michigan senators and representa-
tives In congress to support the pro-
posed reciprocity agreement with
Canada. The following letter contain
ing the resolution was sent to every
member OF the Michigan delegation:
The Wholesalers and Manufac-
turers' association of Detroit, a body
composed OF majority Of the leading
manufacturers and wholesalers In the
cial body In the United States to re-
quest conference on freer trade re-
lations with Canada. At meeting Of
the board OF directors of this associa-
ton held Feb. 9. the following resolu-
ton requesting you to indorse and
further the passage OF the reciprocity
agreement between the United States
and Canada, and approving the action
OF the president in urging upon con-
gress the ratification Of the proposed
treaty, was adopted:
Whereas, this association feels
that reciprocity with Canada is one
OF the most momentous questions OF
the day, and one OF peculiar interest
not only to Michigan. but to every
border state from Maine to Washing
ton, and we are aware that certain in
terests are untiring In their efforts to
defeat this measure, but we feel that
reciprocity will be of great benefit to
the whole country. The greatest
good to the greatest number should
be the foundation OF all legislation.
Reciprocity will greatly stimulate the
trade between the two countries, and
will result in an awakening of bust
ness, not alone along the border, but
I'm all parts OF the country.
Whereas, Canada for many years
has been ready and anxious for freer
trade relations, now that the oppor-
tunity is offered, we feel that II would
be unwise to refuse the concessions
made by our neighbors to the north.
This agreement, as now framed,
we believe is eminently fair and just
and will be mutually beneficial. Can
ada Is a country of unbounded natural
leaps and bounds. Our association
feels that any legislation tending to-
ward better trade relations will re-
suit in lasting benefits to every citi-
zen of this country.
Therefore: Be II resolved: That
we, the Wholesalers and Manufac-
turers' association Of Detroit. respect
fully urge an early ratification Of The
trade agreement now pending between
the United States and the Dominion
of Canada"

wound to heal.
Yet, even with the healing OF the

for the operation, three weeks ago,

Esther, now IL years old. was
burned while engaged with other chill
dren in setting on firecrackers, at
the rear of her home, July 4. 1908.
Her dress caught fire and she was
mass of flames when her mother ar
rived In response to her cries. A
man who was passing the house at
the time also ran to her rescue. He
quickly threw his coat about her ana
smothered the flames, but pot before
she had been seriously burned. HIS
presence Of mind, however. had mucn
to do with saving her life. He disap-
peared Immediately after the accident
and his identity remained unknown
for some time. Esther's father finally
learned that he lived In the neighbor-
hood and he hunted him up and ex-
pressed his gratitude.
Esther Is noted In the neighborhood
for her beauty. She Is regarded as
one OF the prettiest children In the
city. When she was baby she took
a beauty prize In newspaper con-
test. Only the other day she posed
for Clark Bros. photographers, Baker

her photograph as sample for order

An exchange tells Of a mer-
chant in a certain town who re-
sorted to the following method
to get ahea1vf the mail order
houses. @During the good times
when everybody had money the
merchant quietly went to work
to collect a list of the patrons of
the mail order houses. He used
several methods to secure them
and succeeded in getting a pref
ty complete list. which he filed
away for future reference. Now
the crops are all burned up out
there, money scarce and many
people are needing credit. When
a man steps into the store of
this man and asks for credit he
hunts up his list and if the man. S
name is there he tells him to go
and ask for credit where he
spent his cash. The revenge is
tough, but really, can YOU blame
him?

counsel and in lieu thereof having one
attorney to try all of its cases in Mis-

an attorney for this railroad. and put
this notice in the paper so that the
public may know that am now at
liberty to take cases against the rail-

Very respectfully.

Automobile Speed Limit Order.

Elsewhere there will be found
an order passed by the board OF
supervisors regulating the run
ming of automobiles on the pub
lie highways of Lee county. The
order of the board comes at an
opportune time and is intended
to protect the travelling public
from the recklessness of the au-
tomobilist who is disposed to dis
regard the rights of other par
ties on our public highways. No
one would attempt to deny the
man with an automobile the
right to use the public highways,
as the law does not prohibit the
use of any character of. vehicle
that man may select in which
to do his travelling. The law,
however, does throw around
every individual on a public
highway a certain protection in
life and limb, and to safeguard
the individual the board has
seen fit to pass this order.
The first appearance of the au-
tomobile in any community will
cause more or less OF fright
among the work animals, and
until horses and mules become
accustomed to their presence
among them there is more or
less an element of danger in
their use. Constant contact Will
finally remove this fear, as in the
case of trains, and the use OF the
animal is not attended with that
danger. Our citizens who own
and run automobiles will not
question the duty of the board to
the public in passing this order,
which comes fully within the
scope of the boards authority.
Any infraction of the order will
bring the guilty party before a
Justice of the peace, who will
impose such q sentence as the
law directs.

Then He Got Busy.

The Hon Earl Brewer. next
governor of Mississippi, arrived
in Memphis a day or SO ago in
good condition, but his family
was not as happy as it usually is
upon reaching this near home.
At Evansville, Ind, Mrs. Brew
er had packed her trunks and
checked them through to Clarks-
dale, retaining in a suit case on
" such articles as she and the
children expected to use in
Memphis. When the train
reached Fulton, KY. after a
slow and dirty ride on the
Princeton branch, the Pullman
porter put off the Brewer case
for that of a travelling man. The
other Pullman men did not seem
to care, and Mr.. Brewer thought
their promises to have the lost
baggage forwarded by next
train only half hearted. How
ever, he met the train next
morning in person and the Pull
man men said that they had
q
heard nothing of the loss.
Some conversation on his part
At the depot brought Pullman
special agent to the Peabody
hotel later in the day to see Mr..
Brewer. Even the special agent
did not seem to enter into the
search for the lost baggage un
til he asked its probable value.
and Mr.. Brewer replied:
II have not made careful in
ventory of the clothing, ETC., in
the case, but suppose, counting
my wi.e's jewelry, the value
will range from 81, 500 to So, 600"

man Company was busy:
