OF Orleans for Register of Deeds
The Right Man

To the voters Of Ionia county: The
Primary Election is very near at hand
and ii is of the utmost Importance
that men should be elected to office
who are particularly qualified for the
position. They should seek men of
sound judgment who have been sue
cessful in business life. but who have
made good in all lines of activity
The office of Register of Deeds is
one of the most important in the
county, its business affairs have been
looked after during the past four
years under the supervision of John
G. Beattie and he will leave il in eX-
cellent conditions it should be in the
future kept up to it's present
systematic business and orderly ways.
There is no man i'm the county better
qualified 10 take the work where Mr..
Beattie leaves il than Frederick Pitt
Of Orleans, who is asking for the
nomination at the primary election
next week August 25.
Mr.. Pitt is a farmer. born in the
township 81 years ago and resided
there ever since. His parents settled
there in 1851.
ii0 mas ~ I'M - SN''i" "NNi Ni'''NiS
Unidentified with the public schools as
director, and always taken an active
interest in the cause Of education.
Mr.. Pitt has had much experience
in real estate law, looking up titles to
lands and conveyancing, and has serv-
ed as administrators and executor in
closing up many estates. This eX-
perience would be of much benefit to
him in the office and especially so to
the people who have business there.
He has never asked the voters of
Ionia county for any Office before and
it appears that his record and quail
fications are such that the nomination
should be given him by a good round
majority at the primary election,

the community should feel that they

for.
On this beautiful Good Friday
morning, with all nature smiling at
the approach of spring, let us learn
lessor, from nature, of natures God.
When l awokc / heard the birds
singing in the trees so happy and
busy at their spring homemakinS.
In my mind / could see the nest
which would soon be completed and
then filled with tiny eggs. After
that the little birdlings so lager and
hungry! But the most beautiful part
OF the picture, to me, of birding and
nesting time. is the father bird.
How patient he sits on twiS near
the nest. singing his sweetest songs,
and pluming himself and preehihS
his head, not to attract other BIRDS,
or the admiration of the passer-by,
but 10 cheer and brighten MS little
mate, as she sits the long day
through or the eggs. She is faith
full to her duty, and he to his. which
is tc make her time of waiting pass
as pleasantly as possible Was there
any picture more beautiful:
Play With No Loaded Dice.
And when the little birds come.
the father is so eager and anxious
to give them the worms and food
that he gathers from far and near.
that he forgets TO eat. himself. L
have seen father birds that were
accidentally killed at breeding time,
and their bodies were nothing but
skin and bones, they had worked so
hard and eaten so little, in order
that the little birds might have
good start in life.
There is no such thing in Nature
as a Florence Crittenton Home. and
no bird plays the game of nesting
with loaded dice but the cuckoo,
and all birds and beasts alike de-
spise him. Naturalists are even now
finding word of excuse for the
cuckoo and telling us that his habits
have been formed by artificial inter
ference with his natural instincts.
OF all the sermons preached on
Good Friday and of the good that
doubt not they will accomplish, l be
lieve that the silent sermon on right
living and the protection of the IN
nocent will be much more forcibly
taught by the little babies of the
Florence Crittenton Home.

MAKES BACKACHE
QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
"A Few Doses Relieves All Such
Miseries. Bladder Weakness,
Kidney Trouble and Rheu-
matism Promptly Vanish.

It is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backachinG, kid

der and urinary disorders tc contend
with, or be tortured with rheumatism,

pains, for the new discovery, Croxone,
quickly and surely relieves all such

Croxone is the most wonderful rem
edy yet devised for Kidding the system
of uric acid and driving out all the
poisonous impurities which cause such
troubles. 1t is entirely different from
all other remedies. 1t is not like any
thing else ever used for the purpose.
II acts on the principle of cleaning out
the poisons and removing the cause.

makes the kidneys sift out and filter

from the blood. and leaves. the kid
neys and urinary organs clean. strong,
healthy, and we'll.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered. how old you are, or what
you have used. the very principle of
CroXone is such, that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. There Is
nothing else on earth like IT. 1t starts
to work the minute you take it and re-
lieves you the first time you use 1t.
II you suffer with pains in your back
and sides. or have anv signs Of kidney,
bladder troubles, or rheumatism, such
as puffy swellings under the eyes or in
the feet and ankles. If you are nervous,
tired, and run down, or bothered with
urinary disorders, Croxone will quickly
relieve you of your misery. You can
secure an original package of CroxOne
at trifiing cost from any nrst-Cl4ss
