BAR AGAINST Love
Protested Note Makes "Blue

It was Blue Monday" for Max Will
Der, with vengeance II was after a
bright, blissful Sunday, for had he not
seen Leila Marsh and passed with her
one of the most delightful evenings
OF his life? Not that affairs were set
tied in that quarter but he could not
forget the bright eyes and radiant
cheeks that had greeted him, nor the
parting moment under the waving
cherry blossoms with the white moon,
light drifting down upon that rare
head of FURNISHED gold.
Then, too, up to the hour of the
opening OF the bank, Max had felt
something more than cheerful and
happy. He was thirteen hundred dol
lars TO the good, had permanent po'
sition, enjoyed the confidence of the
bank officers, and was led to look TO a
cashiership In the near future.
And then the reaction: the formal
call to the Office of the stern and dig

seat and tossed a note across the
glass-topped table with the single
word.

FIRST PARADE IN 1882
Knights of Labor of New York Inaug-
urated the March, as a Celebration
OF the Day, In the Eastern
Metropolis That Year.

W yNLIKE other holidays that are
observed by the American peo-
" pie, Labor day did not have its
beginning in the commomora-
ton of any great event in the worlds
history and for that reason there Ia
considerable doubt az to VINO was re-
Bponsible for It's birth.
There are many who lay claim to
being tho originators of Labor's ma
tional holiday, and there have been
many chronological tables produced
In support of each ones claim. Au-
thorities however are almost unant
mously agreed that the celebration
that has now become one Of the ma.
tional holidays was given its first
impulse by tho Knights OF Labor In
New York In 1882.

an awkward hour trying to keep up

The solemn dignity OF her uplifted

And about a week later Max knew
that Leila had done two things

high consistency to principle, but this

cHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS

632 N. 9Th st., Terre Haute. Ind
my little nephew, boy OF four
years, had breaking out on his face.
It was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form. and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but 1t did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say 1t hurt. We hardly knew him.
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So I begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
The next morning I made strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After had his
face washed, 1 put the Cuticura ONT
ment on and In a short time his little
face was all red and dry. kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as
we'll and it did not leave a scar. He
was entirely cured in about one week

Fourteen Big Orchard Propositions

Ing Of Agriculture.

Figures have been compiled which
show that no less than $500 new set
tiers have been secured for western
Michigan during the last four years.
Returns have been obtained from the
supervisors of los townships, and
these supervisors report 1865 new set
tiers. With these figures as a basis
1t is estimated that fully $500 set
tiers have been secured for the 80
townships in the 20 counties included
In the territory OF the Western Mich

Fifteen real estate dealers, who
have made statements regarding the
number OF sales and settlers secured
by them. report 1881 new farmers.
which figures confirm the statistics OBJ
tained from the supervisors. Approx
imately $4,000 acres Of land have been
sold and about half of the total acre
age is now being improved.
Fourteen Big Orchard Propositions.
Fourteen big orchard propositions
have been started as a result of the
awakening that has occurred, and
better than 1000 fruit trees have been
set. The orchard development Is
largely in the counties of Antrim. Lee

and Oceana. The largest single or
chard planned is that at Wellston.
Manistee county, which orchard is to
cover 1000 acres and be entirely of
apple trees. The ground Is already
prepared for the FIRST setting, which
will be of 1000 trees. These trees
are now ready for the spring break.

The Buckley & Douglas Lumber
company's orchard near Manistee
comprises 1916 acres, and contains
$4,000 trees. The J. E. Merritt or

have an area of $50 acres as soon as
the 1918 setting has been made.
Five Thousand Acres Of Orchard.

for ten years. The first setting was
in 1912. when 200 acres were given

A Big General Farm.
In addition to the big orchard prop
ositions there has been started big
farming enterprises. The Lake Side
Farms company has secured posses
sion of 1000 acres lying between the
railway stations OF Copemish. Thomp-
sonville. Henry and Lemon Lake, and
will start In the early spring to clear
the land and put 1t into forage crops.
Several stump-pulling outfits will be
set at work as soon as the snow Is
out of the way. At the end Of ten years
the land will be put on the market
as developed farms at price of 500
per acre.
The people of western Michigan
have walked up to the Importance OF
the agricultural industry, and are
making strenuous efforts to see that
this industry is fully developed.
Schools Teach Agriculture.
Eight of the high schools Of the re
gion have begun the teaching Of ag'
riculture. and short courses In this
subject are being given at nve diff
ferent points the present winter. A

the soil, and the climatic and physica
facts that are important In growing
crops.
An effort is being made at Trav

TRUCK GARDENING
AND POULTRY RAISING.
THESE, As WELL As OTHER
MIXED FARMING BRANCHES,
PAY IN WESTERN CANADA.

Truck gardening and poultry grow
ing are two branches of agriculture
IN which the farmers near the main
lines of the three transcontinental
lines traversing Western Canada are
much concerned. The abundance of
sunshine during the long days from
May to September. and adequate mois-
ture in the spring and early summer
permit of wide variety of crops. The
soil Is rich and warm and is easily
worked. Close attention to cultiva-
ton has resulted in record yields of
all sorts Of vegetable and small fruits
which bring good prices in the cities
and at the numerous railway construo-
ton camps. -
