for love prophecies, the pin test being
especially popular. So paper OF pins,

This is problem for every man in
the state, regardless of his business. If
he is a manufacturer, whatever his line,
his success depends upon his market. II
it costs more money to sell 1t is because
the retailer is having poor trade, poor
demand. Ii the merchant is having poor
business, it is because the consumer is
cutting Gown expense he is curtaiing
his outgo.
The first man to cut his expenses is
the farmer. When flush he is good
spender. If be grows corn and corn Is
bringing good price he buys pianos,
new furniture, builds new house or
purchases an automobile or some fine
stock.
If the price goes off he waits for these
! luxuries or better buildings until the
crop brings more money.
IL he grows fruit the situation is ex-
actly the same. So all Michigan manu-
facturers and business and professional
men are interested directly or indirectly
in the price of Mic higan's best crop
fruit.
Is the quality of Michigan fruit tt
blame for the low pricesY Yes and no.
If it's flavor you mean by quality the
answer is No, emphatically NO. IL it,

PAW PAW MAN IS
COMPETENT HEAD
OF Detroit National Fire
Insurance Compsny.
Success Assured.

The Detroit National Fire Insurance
company have issued neat booklet
giving the presidents report read at a
meeting of the stockholders held at
Detroit. On the cover OF the book
appears the familiar face Of our former
townsman, Nj. o. Rowland, who has
been the efficient head of the company
during the past year.
Mr.. Rowland is known to his Van
Buren county friends as a competent
business man and manager of affairs,
and men. He is thoroughly eonversant
with all the departmental work OF To-
surauce having been identified with the
insurance department of the state OF
Michigan for several years. Insurance
laws, methods and policies are simple
problems to this man who has mace g
study of the work in all its phases anc
has become proc6ient by long associa
tion and activity therein. 1t has beer
said that "if the management is right
the business is right We, as his ole
friends, are staunch in the belief tina
in this case the management is all tha
the words imply and few more added
to give it strength.
The above company is one OF grea
importance. The original plan was t
have a company with Sl,000,000 capita
and Sl,000,000 Of contributed surplus il
the treasury to conduct its business. Th
plan is materializing by a nature
growth and will eventually reach tn
figure.
Mr.. Rowland has associated with hir

occupies is an altogether desirable on
NJ. y. Rowland is a Paw Paw boy an

What Is the Matter With the

fruit. Not on account of flavor or color,
but because OF dishonest packing.
The grower has gambled the price of
the barrel, 80 cents, plus the freight, 10
cents, that he can sell poor fruit for
good. II the freight rate we're Sl.5O per
barrel he would not take the gamble be-
cause the loss would amount to a greater
sum.
The western fruit grower is so far from
market and the freight rates are so high
that he is compelled to keep his culls
and seconds at home, and so his grades
and packing make up for loss of flavor.
Hence the Chicago consumer and mid
dleman prefer the finer looking package
and contents at an advance price to the
risk be takes of getting culls and seconds
with the better Michigan product.
