Money Needed to Educate Farmers.

Money Needed to Educate Farmers.
President j. l.. Snyder of the Agri-
cultural college expressed much inter,
est in the interview given out by Vice.
President Patriarche of the Pere Mar
quette railroad, in which the latter
urged that more attention be given to
the agricultural resources OF the state
that the production may be increased
and improved. Discussing Mr.. Patri-
arches statements President Snyder
said
Mr.. Patriarche. like every other
wide-awake citizen, secs the neces-
sity of doing something to increase
the agricultural output from Michi-
gan farms. Consumption is rapidly
overtaking production. which has
had much to do with the high cost
of living. If people are to be fed
fifty years hence rs they are at the
present day. the farms of Michigan
must produce practically twice as
much as they do at the present time.
The college has for a number OF
years been awake to this condition
and 1t has made every effort practi-
cal, with the funds provided by the
legislature. to increase the produc-
ton Of farm products. The college
now, with funds sorely needed for
other purposes, keeps in the field
three men, who are organizing
breeding associations and alfalfa
clubs, carrying on spraying demon
STATIONS and in various other ways
encouraging the farmers to use bet
ter methods.
I'VE shall hold agricultural schools
during the coming winter for a
short period in connection with four
of these high schools. AS is we'll
known, We carry on experiments
and send our bulletins to $4,000
Michigan farmers. We could in.
crease this work almost without limit
If funds were provided We have the
organization and our men are in the
field and know what is needed; 1t is
simply a question of money"

OIL Tank Cars Must Pay Tax.

Judge West, in a decision handed
down in the circuit court. upholds the
right of the state to tax the tank cars
OF oil refining companies which are
sent into this state. The tax involved
amounted to $40 in this casse, but
$4,000 in the taxes Of other corpora.
tions are covered by the decision. and
the victory is an important one for the
state.
The Germania Refining company and
the Independent Refining company of
Pennsylvania applied to the court for
an injunction to prevent AdjuGant
General Fuller collecting the tax as.
sessed against these corporations by
the state board Of assessors. The
corporations contended that the tax
assessed against their cars under the
ad valorem system could not be en-.
forced, for the reason that the law
relates solely to corporations en-.
gagged in the business of owning, loan.
ing. leasing and operating their cars
in public service. 1t was argued that
as the oil companies own their own
tank cars and simply hire the rail.
roads to transport them into this
state, the tax law does not apply.
The court says that the law com.
prehends tax on any corporation.
firm or person whose cars are used
for transporting products into this
state, and that the statute makes no
distinction between the cars carrying
freight for their owners and those car.
rying for others for hire.

Last Saturday evening as Mrs. Eli
Witt was driving into the city from her
home, her horse became frightened at
an automobile which had stopped to
let her go by on account Of her waving
her hand. The horse which belonged
to DR.. Pinkham, was never known TO
be a.raid of an auto and it seems funny
tn At il became scared at this time.
After passing the auto it jumped and
broke "A tug which frightened the horse
still more and caused it to run away
Mrs. Witt was thrown into fence
corner near the Catholic church. Fort
unately no serious injury resulted to
Mrs. Witt but the buggy was broken

Birthday Surprise

Mrs. Laura Chickering wasi very
much surprised Saturday evening,
when she arrived at her farm home in
Orleans TO find the house taken possess
sion of by about seventy-five neig bors
and friends of the community, who had
come there to help celebrate her fiftieth
birthday.
Mr.. Chickering had been let into the
secret of the surprise by Mr.. and Mrs.
John Reeves, who were the moving
spirits in the pleasant affair, and he
took her TO town in the afternoon to get
her out of the way. A very pleasant
time was spent "Wid" Howe was one

The Memory Lingers

Patrons of the Opera House who
attended the presentation last evening
of Dumas Masterpiece "Camille" will
have memory of something rare TO
contemplate for days TO come. 1t was
beautiful presentation of great
authors drama and each individual
character was assumed by the players,
as though they had been to the manner
born. Space prevents giving the play
snt passing notice, but il was certainly
great and drew almost full house.
Wanda Enos, the wizard vioinist,
captured her hearers with the wonder
ful technique and sublime touch of
soul which accompanied every number.
Such an entertainment makes life the
better and should they again visit Beld-
ing capacity house would surely
greet them. Manager Hetherington

Many New Houses Being Built
And Expensive Repairs
Are Made
A HEALTHY GROWTH
Contractors And Plumbers Are Busy
And Thousands OF Dollars Are
Paid Out For Labor And
Material

The wheels of business in all lines of
work are turning rapidly in the city
just now and have been Tor several
months, many new houses have been
put up and extensive repairs have been
made 10 old ones already built. There
is gradual and healthy growth 10 our
city in every way, and the foundations
for greater growth is being laid every
day, contractors, carpenters, plumbers,
masons, painters, paper hangers and
the men of all around work have plenty
to do, and thousands Of dollars are be-
ing paid out this season for labor and
material.
The approaching cold weather gives
an impetus TO the hurry up side
of the work and the demands
from those who are anxious TO
get their work and repairs done before
cold weather really sets in, are SO great
that the workman hardly know
which way To turn To the next job.
Among those who have built new
houses are; Jay Cooley, Ralph G..
Mason, Roy A. Reynolds, Will Clarke
and Mrs. NJ. J. Demornst. These are all
fine dwelling houses. Abe Friedman
has ground broken for new home and
Frank O'Bryon has purchased site
and is getting plans in readiness to be-
gin work.
Among the homes to which extensive
repairs have been made in the way of
new additions, heating and plumbing
are; Robert PEBBLES, +. III. Totten,
Guy Weter, w. Il. Covert, +. b. Lap
ham, Asa Dorr, Albert Cusser, +. r.
Spencer, VIM. Anderson, f. w. How
ard, French Arnold, Ambrose Spencer,

ton and VIM. +. Sandell.
Many rods of new cement walk have
been laid and together with the outlay
which has been made by the Belding
Hall Co., Richardson Silk Co. and

An organization has been effected
charter members, more it is said have
been taken in and subscribed TO the
articles of faith and hope until it now
numbers upwards of ahundred. Alex
ander Kelly was constituted Organizer,
Harry G. Evans, Secretary, sam Van
derbroeck, Treasurer and Robert Burns,
Financial Secretary. The dues are
twenty-five cents month. At their
meetings they discuss important ques-
tons of a political and social nature
and endevor To convert men and make
sentiment for the new party which, by
the way is an old one. James Hooger-
hyde of Grand Rapids, was here recent
ly and spoke on the street, and at their
last meeting, j. II. Hurd of Owosso,
who was elected supervisor on the
Socialists ticket in that county, was
present and gave them talk on how
matters were running and stated that
the outlook for victory was in the air.
Mr.. Spriggs who is not an officer of
the local branch, says he had rather let
the younger men hold Office and he
will work on the outside. John has
voted the ticket for a long time, in fact
he cast the first socialist vote in the
city about fifteen years ago and quotes
many passages of scripture and the
teachings of Christ TO prove that social
ism is right, he thinks the socialist
party will sweep the country in very
few years. Mr.. Spriggs was their can
didate for congress four years ago, from
the 9Th District.
In conversation with John Sayles
who is an ardent supporter of the
party he is optomistic and thinks
that the republicans and democrats
have elected their last mayor of this
city. Heretofore at each election held
in the city the socialists have polled
from one TO thirteen votes, but it would
not be at all surprising the way the
talk goes in socialistic circles if they
lid not make a big showing at the
ballot box in the spring and possibly
elect the entire ticket.

Storm Did Damage

During the heavy storm early
Wednesday morning lightning struck
the fine residence of Ed. Covert on
Bridge street and knocked quite hole
in the North Tower and also damaged
the roof on the south side of the house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Covert were badly scared
and found themselves out out on the
floor in "A semi-dazed condition immedi-
ately after the report but fortunately
no one was hurt.
At Guy Weters fine home on Han
over street, portion of the roof had
been taken OF to make further improv-
ments on the house and the entire east
part of the house was flooded in bad
shape by the tremendous rain fall.
Mr.. Weter is unable as yet To tell how
much damage resulted but assured our
reporter that it was fierce condition

JULIUS CAESAR
Master Piece OF Trag-
edies In Recital By John F.
Howard

There is rich literary treat in store
for the people of Belding and surround
ing country next week in the Congre-
gational Church. The entertainment
committee have secured John f. How
ard of Boston, acknowledged TO be one
of the greatest dramatic readers of the
age TO give Shakespeare master piece,
Julius Caesar on Tuesday evening Oc-
tober 9TH.
Mr.. Howard is forceful reader Civ
ing great attention to details, both in
accent and delivery and never fails TO
bring out in wonderfully clear man
ner the hidden beauties of Shakespear.
The entertainment committee are TO be
congratulated on their success in secur-
ing such high class entertainment
for the edification of the people of our
city, and especially Mr.. Howard who
comes with brilliant recommendations
from the highest literery sources, and
honored with letters from Queen Vic
toria, King Edward and Lord Tenny-
son. President Thomas Fell of the ST.
Johns College, Annapolis, Michigan,
says: at gives me pleasure TO say that
your recital of the of the play of julius
Caesar afforded much enjoyment and
satisfaction To all those who were so
fortunate as TO be present. Your rem
dering of the play showed much dra-
matte power and appreciative study of
the subject We shall hope TO be fav-
ored with another such opportunity in
the near future and | am glad To COM
mend your work to others who are
seeking high grade entertainment
"To state that Mr.. Howard is one of
the greatest dramatic readers of the age
is simply stating plain truth. He
electiifies his audience with his fire
and his artistic climaxes, but still there
is nothing oveTdone. He unfolded
each succeeding action and motion in
the great tragedy of Hamlet with dra-
matte intensity and fascinating power
He seems TO be one of the men of ge-
MUS especially gifted TO interpret and TO
place before the people in their clearest
and best light the thoughts of those
who stand highest among human be-
ings Mr.. Howards Interpretation OF
the characters was TO our mind equal
to the best we have ever heard. 1t was
the finest Shakesperian reading ever
given in Eau Claire. Col. FL. M.
Atkinson in the Daily Leader, Eau
Claire, Wis. No teacher or high school
student can afford to let this oppor-
tunity pass of seeing and hearing
an artist in this line of work, his recit.
ais are distinctly scholarly and he has
thoroughly mastered the spirit and the
purpose of what he presents.

genuine surprise on Sunday evening,
September 24th, when about twenty
five of her friends whom her husband

her that it was just about the right
time TO celebrate birthday and cele-
brate il right. The evening was spent
in merry conversation and about eleven
O'Clock Charlie served the party with
ice cream and cake which he had kept
hidden away from his unsuspecting
wife.
After the guests had departed, Mrs.
Howard was still more surprised TO
find IA number of fine pieces of china
which the ladies had lett as pleasant
reminders of the happy occasion.

Will Be Big Problem For Con-
gress To Tackle At
Next Session
WILL MEET IN DECEMBER
Rejection of Reciprocity by Canada
is Blamed for Rise in Food Stuffs
Which Hits he Laboring
Man Hard

Congress will be confronted anew
with the problem of the high cost of
living when il meets next December.
This is The universal opinion in W ash
ington, based on Canada'S rejection of
the reciprocity agreement.
I'm his reciprocity speech in Chicago
several months ago, President Taft
expressly stated that the passage of the
agreement by congress and by the
Canadian parliament would have no
immediate effect on the cost of living.
Members of the house and senate, how
ever, who favored the measure, took an
opposite view of the matter, and SO
declared themselves i'm debate. Many
people were led To entertain the idea
that reciprocity would lower the prices
principally in the big cities. So the
high cost of living is already looming
up to plague the politicians.
1t has been aggravated by the sensa-
tional rise in the price of sugar. 1t
seems more than probable the sugar
schedule will be one OF the first to re-
ceiVe consideration when congress con-
venes, while "A large number of free
meat bills, introduced in the last con-
gress are certain 10 be busted Off and
re-introduced.
Democrats point TO the fact that only
the Democratic house can initiate tariff
legislation and say no time will be lost
in selecting schedules which affect the
present high prices of the necessaries OF
life
The laboring men of the country
have been hard hit by the unprec
edented rise in food stufls A Republic
can who is thought To be familiar with
the plans of the standpat Republicans
made the prediction today that on the
first day of the next session of congress
bill will be introduced repeating the
entire reciprocity agreement. Inas
much as all of the agreement could mo-
become effective until it had been nc
cepted by Canada, such a bill woulc
not be necessary were it not for tn,
fact that some of the standpat Republi
cans are determined to deprive tn,
