TRANSCONTINENTAL TRIP
Of BIRCH RUN PARTIES

Birch Run, Oct 2S.-Flint is a
pretty we'll known place when you
get two or three thousand miles
away from it, according to r. H.
Morse, well known business man of
this place. With his family, Mr..
Morse motored to the Pacific coast
the past summer. Five people made
up the party.
1t was a rough but interesting and
in many ways delightful experience,
Mr.. Morse says, one that he would
like to have right over again. He
started from Portland, Ore, and re-
turned via Boise City, Salt Lake
City, and Cheyenne. The worst
roads he says were in Idaho and
Utah where they ran into diagonal
washouts which sent the car zig
tagging and humping along for miles
at a stretch. In one place in Idaho
the machine got mired over the hub
caps and on one of the mountain
trials the descent was so precipitate
that Mr.. Morse solemnly says his
hair lifted his hat right up off his
head.
The trip was made without me-
chanical mishap or trouble of any
kind. The car used was Mr.. Morse's
Buick 10.

FAREWELL

Farewell, o campaign orator,
Your day is almost done.
We've listened to you patiently,
Your race is almost run.
We have absorbed your great ideas
We've laughed at all your anecdotes
And witticisms punk.
We've done our duty faithfully
And cheered till we are hcarse.
We have applauded you until
Cur palms are hardsa and coarse.
We've sat about in draughty halls,
Irlperiling our health,
AnG listened to your clatter on
The crimes of sordid wealth.
We're tried to get your point Of
view
As hard as e'er we could.
Wee whistled, yelled and Stamped
out feet,
As patriots all should.
The g hasn't been a minute hut
We've done our very best.
Go hence, We champion of all bores,
We've earned good long rest.

WHAT BECOMES OF MONEY MA
SAVES

Mas busy now reminding Pa
OF all the things she's don, witd-
out.
And they run all the way, I guess
From hairpins to a runabcut.
She says that she's denied herself.
A dress, a waist, a set of furs
A morning gown, pair of gloves,
For strict economy is hers.
She wouldn't buy herself hat
thought
She'd better save enc money, for
The things that really must be
bought,
A veil, brooch, a pocket book,
A linen cuff and collar set,
Are articles she ought to have
But really thought she couldn't
get,
While father begs for peace in
vain,
And all because she's learned ttat he
Has bet ten bucks on the cam
paign.

NEsIDENT OF OHIO
ADJUDGED INSANE

Albert Murray became possessed
Thursday night of the idea that he
was very busy man. He went to
the stable and harnessed a team Of
horses belonging to his brother-in-
law, Chas. Hamer, and when asked
what he was going to do replied
that he had ten gardens to pillow and
would have to hurry to get through
before dinner. Marshal Peter De-
line was called and with some as
sistance Mr.. Murray was persuaded
to ride to the village lookup in his
(the depot truck) which
was propelled by the marshal.
On Friday he was taken to the
jail at Flint where he was later adj
judged insane in Probate court.
Deputy Sheriff Powers and Mar
shall Define took him to Pontiac on
Monday.

The progress of civilization is be-
ginning to manifest itself in the
Genesee county poor farm. Opera
tions to install electric lights in this
institution will begin soon, as per
the instructions of the board of SUI
pervisors, who this morning placed
their seal of approval on the propo-
sition. Seven thousand five hundred
dollars was appropriated to the cause
of the iniirmary by the board and
although the superintendents of the
poor asked for $4,000 the amount al
lowed is considered by the supervis-
ors as sufficient to cover the expenses
of the electric installation. The
amount of money now at hand in
the treasury of the infirmary heads
is $4,000, two thousand dollars more
than ever before remained in the
Golfers at this time of the year.
Many improvements.
Besides the new lighting system,
many other Improvements will be
made on the buildings. Hog houses,
corn cribs, and other outhouses will
be added to the counties group of
buildings at the farm in an endeavor
to make the infirmary of this county
an institution rivaling any other such
institution in the state.
Each inmate OF the county infirm-
airy costs the county 50 per week
over and above the products of the
poor farm, according to the report
of the committee appointed by the
board of supervisors to investigate
this apportioned expense. The treas
ury of the county was instructed to
pay the superintendent OF the poor
the amount of $4,01S to cover this
expense of the past year. The town
ships contributed to this expense as
follows:

New York, Oct. 30.-In the pres

tIeship New York, last word in Uncle
Sans sea fighters, slid into the
waters of the East river from the
navy yard today. Built in the yard
by government labor, the great

officials responsible for her TO be the
greatest of all battleships although
she is only 62 per cent completed
ana it will be May, 1914, before she
will go into commission unless war
breaks out in the meanwhile and she
has to be rushed TO completion.
1 Not in many years has there been
so pretentious a ceremony as mark

ing machine to her element. The
[ President, Secretary of the Navy

and every high official of the army

At the bow end a great stand had

inch OF the ways down which the

Just before the New York started
her journey down the ways it was
stated that she represented a dis
placement Of 10000 tons. A little
valve was pressed and Immediately
! hydraulic pressure released two
steel fingers which had held the
giant mass in check and the vessel
started down the ways as slowly as
just moving along a level under tow.

carry a battery of ten 14-inch guns,
as her main armament, will have a
speed of 81 knots and will carry
1000 men and GO olcers.

REPUBLICAN SMOKER PLANNED
FOR CLIO FRIDAY EVENING

Genesee county Republicans are
planning a rally and smoker for party
aid at Clio next Friday evening. Sew
eral speakers will address the voters
on the questions of the day, but the
principal object of the meeting is a
general get-together for the Republi-
cans of that section Of the county. 1t
is thought that this method will be
the best way of bringing the candi-
dates for the several Offices in direct
touch with the voters and will be
productive pf the best results at cleo
tion time.

IF you would know the wealth of the
peninsula, look about you.
This is a translation of the words, 81
Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam, Circum-
SPICE" engraved below the shield on the
great seal OF the State of Michigan.
DID YOU know thata
MICHIGAN has ever been wealthy state.
When ii was still territory the two PENN
sulas were rich in natural resources Every
where wealth could be seen. There were
the greet black forests, the magnificent
waterways, and the vast areas of fertile
LANDS awaiting but the plow Of the
Ausbandman.
Then, to know Michigan's wealth. it
was only necessary to look about you. -
The treasures of that day have been
TRANSFORMED into USEF L
WEALTH by the tilling of the soil of
many rich farms, the operation of mines.
the building of factories and railroads.
The Protective policy of the REPUB-
LICAN PARTY has made this trans
formation of wealth possible. The protec-
ton afforded the farmer and the industries
has kept the proud boast on the great seal.
The aggregate wealth of the state today
must be figured in billions. The assessed
valuation, only portion of the total actual
wealth of the state. is nearly TWO
BILLION DOLLARS.
Now. it has never YET been necessary
to change Michigan's motto. But ONCE
in SO years did it seem PROBABLE the
words would turn to empty jest. That
was in the days of IS92-l09o under the
tariff policy of the Democratic party.
During the brief period following the
nse of the Democrats to power in national
affairs, Prosperity was working on half time
at about half pay The value Of farm
property alone in Michigan dropped over
FORTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
No trifing sum.
But the people soon returned the Repub-
lican party to power. What effect did
Protection have on farm valuesp
According to the u. S. census of 1910.
the value or ALL Michigan farm property
increased, under Protection. in ten years
FOUR HUN DR. ED MILLION
DOLLARS.
I That's an increase of ST. per cent.
Due to other causes. you may say.
Strange. is it not. that farm property
values in this state should DROP from
approximately $64S,000,0OO in 1890 to
5000, 100000 Immediately after the passage
of the Democratic tariff Then, is it not
peculiar that. with the REPEAL of the
measure. values should begin a STEADY
RISE. increasing $50. 100000 in six years
and $400,000.000 in the following ten
years2

And there were 2.s42 MORE farms
MORTGAGED in the Democratic year
of 1894 than in the Republican year OF
1910.
Again seeking power, the Democratic
party NOW offers you the SANE. tariff
policy it offered THEN. The tariff plank
of the Democratic platform OF 1917 has
been nailed to the platform of 1912. 1t
declares for free trade policy which YOU
know closed Michigan factories, threw toll
ers out of employment and mortgaged
Michigan farms.
When the FARMER is rich. the
NATION is rich. Providence determines
the SIZE. of the crop, of course, but only
the best economic conditions in the indus
trial world can possibly make farm produce
VALUABLE. 1t is the protected work
ingman's demand and his ABILITY TO
PAY for the necessities of life that make
the crops worth harvesting.
And the farmer in Michigan is
prosperous.
In I90o-the last census report avail
able-his corn crop was worth nearly
thirty million dollars hay. thrty-six
millions; oats. eighteen millions; wheat.
sixteen millions. and rye. four million
dollars.
Read those figures over again. They are
astounding.
The average value of farm land in this
state, per acre. has increased 1886 in the
past decade.
How closely the entire industrial life Of
the state responds to the changes in the
welfare of the farmer is shown by the fact
that now. under Republican rule. there are
1000 MORE FACTORIES in Michi-
gan, employing QUARTER MILLION
MORE PEOPLE at 40 per cent
HIGHER WAGE than in 1894.
These figures give some idea of the
wealth YOU may see by simply looking
around" Are YOU going to DISTURB
this prosperity Place Michigan's wealth
in JEOPARDY? Do YOU want to take
the chancea
Would YOU vote deliberately to return
to the conditions of 1862
Or will you vote the Republican ticket
and LET WELL ENOUGH ALONEp
Would you conserve and protect the
wealth of the great state of Michigan you
see all around you-the wealth that is
represented, not alone in granaries and fac
tories and mines and storehouses, but the
wealth portrayed in the happy countenance
of the children of well-paid workers and the
wealth represented in comfortable homes
and contented families?
Or would you strike from the great seal
of the State of Michigan the words en-
blazoned there for three-quarters of a
century:
