MATCHING HEALTHY CHICKS

Artificial incubation has become an
economic necessity. Natural incuba-
ton produces stronger chicks than
artificial, but the attention necessary
for the care of the hen makes more
persons turn to the artificial methods.
Some have adopted the combination

breeding with hens. Others have
abandoned the use OF hens as either

No, the above is not a picture of
'Bill Taft" although his friends call
him that owing to the resemblance. 1t
is picture of John H. Lewis of Boyne
City who is asking the support of the
Republicans of CharlevoiX County for
the nomination of sheriff at the Pri-
mary Election August 25th.
While the newcomers in our city are
probably not acquainted with Mr..
Lewis, the older residents know him
we'll as he was a regular visitor TO our
village in the days gone bye.
John H. Lewis is the oldest butcher
in Charlevoix County today. He was
born in Ionia County in 1864 and came
to CharlevoiX County when only a lad
of IS years. Locating at Boyne City he
started at the butcher trade the follow
ing year without any capital About
eighteen years ago he established the
Central Meat Market" and by hard
labor and conscientious efforts he built
up this business until now his taxes
amount to about 100000 year.
Mr. Lewis was for years a frequent
visitor to East Jordan, coming here on
both business and pleasure. He was
leader of the Boyne City Baad for
several years, and being an able corn
etist he assisted the East Jordan Band
and played for dances at the old Love
day Opera House.
Last October, as a member of the
Board of Supervisors from Boyne City,
ne gave the East Jordan supervisors
valuable assistance in securing the
thousand dollar appropriation for the
bridge here across the arm.
John H. Lewis has proven himself a
business man and would use the same
careful management of finances in the
Sheriffs office as he would in his own
affairs. He is one of the substantial
business men of our neighboring city,
and fraternally is member of the
Masons, Elks, Moose and Eagles.
He respectfully solicits your support
at the August Primary.
