At the present time he aspires to the
nomination for representative in the
State Legislature on the Republican
ticket. and his reputation for industry,
integrity and capability, which we have
mentioned, are sure to be of great ad-
vantage to him in the furtherance of
his ambition.
Mr.. Ford has served his township as
clerk for nine years and his village in
the same capacity for two years, which
shows the contiguous esteem of those
who know him best. He was the regu-
lar Republican candidate for the legis-
lature two years ago, when he was de-
feated by the Progressive candidate by
small margin, and his desire to fight
the matter through to successful con-
clusion is very human, laudable and con-
sistent
In April of the present year Mr.. Ford
was taken i'll and underwent serious
operation for appendicitis, since which
time his health has not been Of the best.
If he should be elected it would secure
for him much needed relaxation from
the cares of his business, meanwhile
the interests of his constituents would
not be likely to suffer. Lastly, it is
safe to say, that whatever the popular
editors record in the legislature might
be, it would not be found in the appen-
dix. (Adv.)

SPLENDID PROGRAM
At GRANGE BANQUET
STATE MASTER J. c. KETCHAM
MADE FINE ADDRESS
Farmers' Friend Grange Presented Not.
able Program Last Friday
Evening

The program given under the auspices
of Farmers Friend Grange at Cleaner
Hall in Montrose, last Friday evening,
was both enjoyable and valuable from
an educational standpoint.
o. M. Field presided as POSTMASTER
in a very happy manner and the princi-
pal address, of course, was that given
by Master of the State Grange, j. G..
Ketcham. The latter said that the
Grange was taking a leading part in
the solution of moral problems, that it
stands for political equality and is OPP
posed 10 machine politics. He declared
that improvement of the farmers in
dustrial condition was imperative and
that when it was accomplished all needed
reforms would follow and there would
be no difficulty in keeping the boys and
girls on the farm. He said that the
Grange was not tied to the policy of
any political party and that its men,
bers should vote intelligently for what
ever promised to better their condition.
E. G. Hackney made logical address
in which he favored separate represen-
tation for Flint city in the state legisla-
ture and mentioned at some length the
benefits that. might be derived from a
thorough affiliation of all of the farm
ers' organizations and the establish
ment of cooperative enterprises.
Howard j. Field, student at M. A.
c., gave very interesting and practi-
cal talk on that institution and of the
assistance it afforded the farmers Of the
state.
c. M. Eckles, C. A. McKenna, Mrs.
c. A. McKenna, Rev. E. c. c. Benson.
H. J. Field and the Misses Hackney
and Marvin also graced the program
with speeches and recitations.
The menu was bountiful, as may be
imagined, and the whole affair was of
the most creditable and pleasurable
character. About 125 were in attend
ance, including several guests from
Clio and Flint.

New Potato Bug

From one of our correspondents we
learn of a new potato bug that has
made its appearance in this vicinity. 1t
is described as being striped like Gu
cumber bug, but is much larger. II
destroys the foliage on the potato
plants, leaving them like skeletons. II
also destroys other garden vegetables,
bat it has one misfit habit and that is II
destroys weeds along with other things.
This is evidently owing to some mis-
take in the original plans. The bug
can fly and runs when anyone ap-
proaches. 1t will not eat the leaves
after poison is applied.

Battle Hymn of Life

live for those who love me
Whose hearts are kind and true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task that God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me
And the good that can do.
l live to learn their story
Who suffered for my sake,
To emulate their glory
And follow in their wake.
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,
The heroic of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd history's pages
And times great volume make.
/ live to hold communion
With all that is divine
To feel there is a union
'Twixt natures heart and mine;
To profit by affliction,
Reap truths from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction
And fulfill Gods grand design.

BY gifted ones foretold,
When man shall live by reason
And not alone for gold,
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
AS Eden was of old.

Whose hearts are kind and true,

For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,

The annual reports on the quantity

the oil mills have now installed ma.
ehinery for the closer delinting of the

crease in the total quantity of linters
produced each year and, at the same
time, in lowering the average quality
OF the fiber, so that now only a small
part, if any, is used as a substitute for
lint cotton
