A real get-together meeting was
the result of the call of the Wills IN
club of Ormsby county last evening,

the result that the club and the party

the addition of many live workers
who will go down the line for the

from other sections were received
which more strongly bear out the pre-
dctions made months ago that this
was Democratic year in Democratic

Arrangements are being completed
for the big rally OF the county ticket
which will be held on the night Of
Admission day. The committee in

Will Sit Tight and
Hang to Dashboard

What the community has been
fearing and expecting for the past
several weeks, has happened. The
Mason Valley Mines company closed
its mine down tight this week, and
the smelter at Thompson will close
in few days, just as soon as the ore
on hand is run through and clean
up made This is not good news to
chronicle, but it is fact Every
body is sorry that the situation IS
such that this move is necessary.
The move was caused by there being
no sale for copper on account Of the
disturbances abroad, and it is hard
to tell just how long the shutdown
will last The closing of the mine
has thrown from sixty to seventy
men out of employment at Mason
and has caused deep depression in
our sister town. About sixty men
have taken their departure from there
during the week and. the future out
look is not at all bright.
TIL eclosing of the smelter will
throw about $50 to US men out OF
employment and that town will be
practically deserted i'll few weeks
With the smelter closed none of the
mines in the district nor the leasers
will be able to ship ore and quite I
dull period may be looked for in the
whole district for months to come

over. Yerington will feel 1.-THE blow

CHANGERS WILL ASK
FOR NEEDED LAWS.

The Michigan State Grange intends
to play a strong part in the coming
session Of the legislature. The grange
leaders have several important mea-
sures which they will recommend that
the legislature pass.
The grange wants law regulating
the galvanizing Of wire fence. They
state that fencing is one of the most
important problems confronting the
farmers and they want to see that he
is not sold fence that will be useless in
q few years.
The grange will likely recommend q
law providing for the testing of fence.
They say that wire fencing is . neces-
sity as board and hedge fences are
impractical.
The passage of some sort of law
providing for the guaranty of bank
deposits, also will be sought. Other
states have such a law and it has
ended bank failures.
Cooperation by the state with fed
eral government, under the Smith
Lever bill. which has recently passed
congress. will be urged. The bill az
passed by congress provides for extern
sion work among the farmers at the
joint expense sdf'the state and federal
government.
The mortgage tax law will also be
amended II the grange has its way
The law now provides for the payment
of taxes on mortgages by the payment
of recording fee. The grange lead
ers do not think this is enough. They
think the holder Of mortgage should
pay an annual tax.
