DOCTORS PLANS

DR.. M. +. Smith and family who will
soon leave Paw Paw, had planned to
spend Saturday evening down town but
their friends to the number of fifty had
decreed otherwise so the only way for
the majority to carry in this case was to
inform the Smiths that the meeting
which they expected to attend had been
postponed OF course this was a bad
thing to do, but it was one of those
white ones-anyway they changed their
minds as wise men do and stayed at
home.
The family had settled down for a
quiet evening but peace was an unknown
quantity, for shortly their friends
made the raid and the evening was
given over to farewell visit. At parting
many good wishes were offered for their
future prosperity aud happiness.

opponent is the present auditor,
Oramel B. Fuller of the Upper
Peninsula. Mr.. Fuller has
made capable state official, but
he has held the office already
two terms, and there is no dis
guisiug the fact that three terms
are decidedly unpopular in this
state.
DR.. Scidmore has oeen promi-
nent in the political and civic life
of the state, his county and
district for many years. He was
member of the state legislature
for two terms, and was largely
responsible for the law securing
two cent railroad fares in the
state. He is prominent in the
affairs of his home city and has
served in the capacity of mayor
of Three Rivers for three sue
cessive terms. He is at present
a member of the state central
committee. and has the con-
tidence and respect of all with
whom he comes in contact.
His candidacy was unanimous

The following resolutions we're adopted

principles since its inception, and our
continued faith in the future progress of
the county, state and nation under re

On motion of NJ III. Mackey, the dele

structed to vote for DR.. A. w. ScIdmore
of L hree Rivers for the nomination for
auditor general. The fourth district will
probably line up solidly behind DR.. Scid-

chance to land the nomination.

Grant Fellows for Attorney General.

Grant Fellows for Attorney General
nNE Of the interesting con
~ tests to come in the state
convention at Detroit September
"a will be for the office Of attor-
ney general.
The death of Justice Blair of
the Supreme court, left a
vacancy which Governor Osborn
filled by promoting Attorney
General Franz Kuhn. Attorney
Roger Wykes of Grand Rapids
was selected by the governor to
fill the vacancy made by the
promotion of Kuhn. Wykes is
now attorney general and seeks
the nomination in the state con-
vention. He will be opposed by
Attorney John O'Keefe of Sagi-
nav and Attorney Grant Fellows
of Hudson.
The Grand Rapids man will
of course have the backing Of the
Osborn administration, but it is
doubtful if.this will land him the
place. Grant Fellows is one Of
the eminent attorneys of the
state. There is no question
about his qualifications for the
Office. He has been prominent
in the councils of his party for
years, and is well and favorably
known. He was candidate for
attorney general in the state
convention two years ago, and
was defeated by Kuhn by only a
slight margin.
Many of the county conven-
tions about the state on Tuesday,
endorsed his candidacy and it
would seem that his chances for
the nomination are exceptionally
good. While the Van Buren,
county convention did not en-
dorse the candidacy Of any
candidate for this office, Mr..
Fellows is well known by Van
Buren, county republicans; they
were with him in his aspirations
two years ago, and it is alto'
gether probable that the Van
Buren, county delegation will
look with favor upon his candi-
dacy this time

FLAX GROWING
IS PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE-
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

80 much has been written regarding
the great amount Of money made out
Of growing wheat In the prairie prov.
inces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products Of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas Of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields viii
continue to be large. and the general
average greater than In any other
portion Of the continent. Twenty, thir-
ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre Of wheat to the acre-yieldS
unusual In other parts Of the wheat
growing portions Of the continent.
have attracted worldwide attention,
but what Of oats. which yield forty,
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry on the
worlds prize, which, by the way, was
also done by wheat raised in SaS-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then,
there is the barley, with its big yields.
and its excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and q big one is fiax.
The growing Of fax Is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him q circular 10
sued by a prominent farmer at Saskar
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
OF less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding, imperfect and illy-pro-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds Of seed per acre and had .
yield of Twenty-Five bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose Of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking Of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation Of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken Of there is cited the case OF .
Mr.. White. living fourteen miles
south Of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres of summer fallow a year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop. Now, there can be no
proper reason advanced why such
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
IN the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner. This year (1911) the
same man had one hundred acres Of
summer fallow. had something over
$500 bushels Of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels Of oats and 300 bushels
Of fax"
There are the cattle. the horses. the
roots and the vegetable products Of
Western Canada farms. all Of which
individually and collectively deserve
special mention. and they are treated
of in the literature sent out on appli-
cation by the Government agents.

But Mamma Didn't.

Little Mabel was always tumbling
down and getting hurt, but as soon as
her mother kissed the bumped fore
head Mabel would believe 1t cured
and cease crying. One day she accom-
panied her mother to the Union depot,
and while they were seated in the
crowded waiting room an intoxicated
man entered the door, trlpped over a
suitcase, and fell sprawling on the
floor. The attention Of every one was
attracted to the incident, and in the
sudden silence following the fall Ma
