been shown by men whose shoulders
bore no insignia of rank. One English
publication states that with perhaps
one exception the bravest thing ever
done by a British soldier was the act
OF a drummer boy.
That drummer boy, if living, is now
a man se%venty-two years old, and for
81 years Of that time he has been wear
ing the Victoria Cross, and has had
the right to write V. G. after his name.
This boy in the year 1857, amid a
shower Of shot and shells, fastened
bags of gunpowder on the gates of
Delhi. He carried death in his arms
that day and met it in other forms all
along his way. Others helped him and
were killed; he lived and wore the
cross.
1t was another British drummer boy
who, while acting as a field bugler for
Lord Napier of Magdala in the Abys-
sinian war, left the generals side and
dashed first into the stronghold Of
Theodore the Tyrant."

Gray's paths of glory"
The French decoration was first
granted under Napoleon in the early
part of the present century; the Vic
toria Cross was instituted during the
Crimean var and the American medal
of honor was first struck off to reward
acts of heroism performed during the
Civil war. The French cross may be
won by civilians; the English and
American crosses are pinned only upon
the breasts of soldiers and sailors. In
the armies of all three nations officer
and private, peasant and prince, have
equal chances of wearing that which
nothing but attested bravery can buy.
The first Victoria Cross granted for
bravery IN the South African war was
given to Col. Ian Hamilton of the Gar
don Highlanders for conspicuous gal
lantry at the battle of E~landslaagte.

Tires at
Before-War Prices
Goodyear Prices
1t Is Foil y Today to Paw More

ihere exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. 1t re-
suits from War conditions.
These leading tires-built of extra fine
rubber, in the same way as always-are
selling today at June prices.
You will find today a very wide difference
between most tire prices and Goodyears.
Due to Quick Action
EARLY in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to us.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night.
Men could seesno way to paw for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others-ln that panic-were forced to higher
prices. But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
We did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub
Der. They bought-before the ADVANCE, $780,
600 pounds of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now ON the way to us.
And it means practically all of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad.
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the worlds
chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty we'll
assured of a constant supply, and our pick Of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quick

Be Careful Now

In Goodyears we pledge you the same grade
tire as always. And that grade won for Good
years the top place in Tiredom-the largest sale
in the world.
And, for the time being, our prices are the
same as before the wal. We shall try TO keep
them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers
will be kept supplied. And we charge Them
until further notice, only ante-bellum prices.
That means that Goodyear.-the best
tires built-are selling way below other tires.

SOMETHING ABOUT CATTLE

No farmer who has not tried it should
engage in the cattle feeding business
on a large scale at the start He will
find. and generally at pretty high cost,
that experience and good judgment are
needed as much as corn to lay the fat
on bunch of steers at a profit.
The power of production in d COW is
inherited. If the cow is a good dairy
animal by Inheritance, and is given
good care and feed she will become
more productive as she increases in
age. The quantity rather than the
quality Of her milk is Influenced by
feed. .......
1t costs just so much to put pound
Of meat on an animal, and If it is lost
during the winter. from low feeding or
exposure. it is just that much extract
ed from tie owners pocket It is
much more profitable and sensible to
retain every pound Of flesh gained and
also if possible to keep each animal
improving all through the winter.
Pure bred dairy cattle will often be
the keynote to great profit from the
farm. What is the use of keeping an
Indifferent. nonproducing animal Of
any description when aaes that win
make handsome profit viii take no

DRAFT HORSES IN AMERICA.

As Good Stock Can Be Raised Here as
Abroad.
Prepared by United States department
Of agricultural
The best breeds of draft horses are
now so well established in the United
States that experts of the United
States department Of agriculture be
lieve that the European war, which
has interfered seriously with importa
tions, will not injure breeding in this
country. 1t is, in fact, asserted that
the American people will now have an
opportunity to see for themselves that
as good stock can be raised in this
country as any that can be imported.
The leading characteristic Of good
draft horses is massiveness. for their
chief usefulness is the hauling Of
heavy loads. In consequence power,
not speed, IS desired. To possess this
power a horse should be compact, low
set, or short legged, and be able to
throw a great deal of weight into his
collar without losing secure footing
A draft horse Of the best type should
therefore weigh at least 1000 pounds,
and in localities where the heaviest
breeds are common any animal under
this is classed as light drafter. In
good drafters the chest is deep and

The East Jordan Cabinet Company is

The East Jordan Planning Mills Co. This
company was organized about eight
years ago. AT that time, East Jordan
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1914-05-23

had two planning mills in operation
the East Jordan Lumber Cempanys,
located near Mill "B'' and the B, E.
Waterman Mill located on North Main
Street near where Mr.. Waterman now
resides. Both were doing a good
genral planning mill business, but the
owners of these plants wished to
branch out To this end the East Jor-
dan Planning Mills Co. was Incorporated
with Messrs w. P. Porter, A. H. Frost
and C. L. Ames of the East Jordan
Lumber Co., and B. E. Waterma as
the owners of the new enterprise.
The factory site on Spring street was
purchased. A fine roomy factory was
built and part of the machinery from
both the dismantled plants was install
ed. Soon the necessity for new
machinery and equipment was manifest
and each year since has seen more
valuable machinery being installed,
and large stock-room built.
Primarily the plant was intended for
a General Planning Mill and they are to-
day turning out material for various
buildings throughout northern Michi-
gan. About four years ago, Manager
Waterman conceived the idea that
tables could be manufactured at their
plant and put on the market in compc-
tition with other concerns operating
along that line, Their initial effort
was two carloads of Kitchen Tables,
and while these tables are no longer
manufactured by them, it showed the
possibilities of the project. Designs
Tor Library and Parlor Tables were
drawn and the manufacturing of these
commenced. The initial efforts to pro.
duce high grade table were naturally
much inferior to those put out by the
larger concerns and caused a smile
among the larger manufacturers who
considered their position in the market
impregnablc. Through the persistency
of Manager Waterman, the quality o.
the tables were developed, new design,
added, and expensive machinery wa:
purchased for work on this class o.
product.
Today, The East Jordan Cabinet Co
are manufacturing over twenty designs
Of Library and Parlc- Tables of quail
