Emory Ball Gets Hooked

them to themselves as a reminder Of
some errand to be attended to-
Emory Ball is married man and his
friends saw his finger swathed in white
a few days ago, but thought he was sim-
ply trying to think of it: we'll, he thought
of it, and this is how it happened. He
went to Three Mile lake to see what he
could do about landing some Of those big
ones that got away from the fellows who
had been there the day before. 1t was
midnight's witching hour and they were

mering and Emory was happy but it was
not to last. That thrilling moment when
fisherman feels the strike that makes
life worth living-the moment when he
would give his diamond ring to know
for sure that it was not dog fish-was
his and he reeled carefully in and be-

Amos Musselman defines his position
as candidate for governor.
TO THE REPUBLICANS OF MICHIGAN.
So many inquiries have come to our
headquarters regarding my attitude on
some questions of public interest, deem
it proper at this time to make few
brief statements which do not in any
sense send out as "a platform, but am
doing it that there may be no doubt as
to my position on these questions.
The first question asked Candidates
these days is, Are you progressiveY'
Most assure dly and my record proves
that | am not a recent convert to pro-
gressive principles. As far back as 1894,
Governor Pingree began his campaign
for equal taxation by addressing an
open letter to me, after a conference on
this subject. 10 those days it meant
something to espouse these principles
for in so doing a business man subjected
himself to ridlcule from his associates
and acquaintauces. From that time to
this | have been identified with that
element of our party, arreyed in opposl-
sion to the old time mechine methods.
/ could be nothing else than a progress
sive, and there is no republican in Mich.
igan who rejoices more at the numerous
accessions to the ranks of the progress
sive republicans than | do.
After the Stearns- Bliss Ferry contest
in 1900 l published an open letter, over
my signature, 10 which | said: III the
spectacle presented during that contest
should result in the enactment of pri-
mary law which would prevent a repeti-
tion of that disgrace, the price paid
would not be too great"
The facts are that we, as nation,
are passing from representative de-
mocracy to a pure democracy, and this
evolution is as irresistible as the tides
of the ocean. The man or party stand
ing in its way will surely be swept aside
by the ever increasing force of the peo-
pie seeking larger share 10 the respon-
sibility of government. This is a govern
nent of, by and for the people, and it is
theirs to direct as they desire.
That our party has serious problems
to solve, and that we are face to face
with what many consider a crisis is APP

however, that republicans can and

doning the structure. You will probably
infer from this that / do not see any
necessity for third party. The most
such movement could hope to accom-
plish would be to elect a democratic
president, which would, from my view.

efforts-the members of the G, A. T..
and the Woman's Relief Corps giving
dinners, arranging social affairs iu order
to raise a small amouut Of money, the
soliciting OF funds from friends and in
terested people, sacrificing in every way
possible something to turn into the
treasury to help the good cause, and
who shall say that the earnest pray
ers that have been offered up from
altars here times without number have
bsen 10 vain to bring about the culmina-
ton of this great object that means so
much TO the older element of this town
today and which will be so thoroughly
rooted in the minds and hearts of our
yoXng people that it will always be sa-
cred to them as long as one stone in its
foundation remains May every boy
and girl have the feeling of reverence
when they pass that building and OBJ
serve the stars and stripes floating
above it, to salute it mentally, whatever
be the attitude of the body.

DRY WEATHER
THING OF PAST
Artificial Rain Making & to be
Tested at Battle Greek
Next Week.

There are to be no more "dryspells"
10 Michigan. Under the supervision of
the local commercial organization of
Battle Creek, a thorough test of g. w.
Posts theory of artificial rain making
will be given there July 23rd or oath
The utility of the plan has repeatedly
been demonstrated near Post City, Tex =,
The theory Is that repeated dischar es
OF dynamite, along firing line two miles
in length will produce rain It is based
upon the historical fact that rain almost
invariably follows a battle 10 which the
cannoDsding has been heavy National
and public officials, agricultural experts
and newspaper men from Michigan and
surrounding states nave been invited to
attend the demonstration and it is antci-
pated that several thousand people will
visit Battle Creek to witness the unique
experiment.
1t is intended 1t the time of this dem
onstration to produce a rainfall suffi.
cient in its scope to cover eight town
ships, four in Calhoun, two 10 Kalama-
zoo and two 10 Barry county. The pro-
moters are very confident of the success
OF the venture and claim that rain can
be prod duced at a cost or T. 10 of cent
an acre, which figure has been arrived
at by thoroughly reliable computations.
II this is the case aud the experiment is
a success, irrigation will soon become
thing Of the past. OF course there are
a few just skeptcal enough to doubt
it's success, but the experiment will be
awaited with interest
