Edison v. Root was born in Blooming
dale, Van Buren, County, 81 years ago,
his parents being Of the second genera
ton of pioneers. His early education
was received in the schools of this
county. His college training includes
graduation from the Western Normal
College and special work at three other
Michigan colleges, two terms being
spent at the University.
His teaching experience covers per-
iod of Fl years, three years in rural
schools, three as a grade teacher, three
as high school principal and twelve
years as Superintendent at Bangor.
The standing of the Bangor schools
under Mr.. Roots supervision may be
judged from the fact that the school
has been on the approved university
list for these twelve years and when
last inspected was listed for three
years. Mr.. Root has always been
alive to all questions affecting COM
munity life and Improvement and while
he makes no pretentions of being a
public speaker he has numerous calls
to appear on semi-educational pro-
grams.
AS a citizen he has tried to do his
part. When the call for troops came in
1898 he helped to organize Co. L, 33
Mich Vol. and he has always taken
his share of responsibility in local
affairs. He has never been candidate
for a salaried Office but has served on
the village council for a number Of
years and has been President Of the
village during the past year. He has
always taken a prominent part in
church work and is member of the
Grange, l. o. o. F. and several Masonic
bodies.
Mr.. Root is in the prime of life, he is
active, enthusiastic and enjoys perfect
health. He likes to be out of doors
and long drives in severe weather
would not keep him from his work. 1t
would seem that Mr. Roots wide ex-
perience as a teacher and an educator;
his long residence in the county and
knowledge of it's educational needs and
his executive ability supported by
good strong constitution and a capacity
for hard work would make him very
desirable candidate for the Office to
which he aspires.

Island Of Cyprus.

The island of Cyprus has been
identified by scholars with the Chit
tim of the Bible, and it is recorded
that Hiram, king of Tyre, who as
sisted Solomon in the building of the
temple at Jerusalem, had to put down
a rebellion OF the Cyprians, who had
refused to pay tribute. 1t is more
than possible that some of the copper
used in the Solomonic temple came
from Cyprus, for it was only a days
sail from the mainland, and at that
time was under Phoenician control.

Charles A. Weidenfeller, erstwhile
member of the state house of repre-
sentatives, has a job that he cannot
quit. AS president of the village of
Bloomingdale he has made so good that
the citizens unanimously refuse to let
| him retire.
Protesting that the Office interferes
too much with his private business
! Weidenfeller announced a short time
ago that he would not be a candidate
for reelection. But he reckoned with
out his host.
A caucus was held to select success
sors Of the present village officials. No
one attended. Without new nominal
tions the old officials would be COM
PEELED to hold over and continue to
serve without reelection.
Nonplussed for the time being, Weld
enfeller soon decided that it was the
revival services now being conducted
in his village that was keeping the vot-
ers away. He caused it to be announced
at the meeting that the caucus would
be held Immediately after the church
gathering broke up. And still no one
attended
Now Weidenfeller is facing unwill-
ingly another term in the village presi-
Gazette.

The Unhjstorjc Acts

Her full nature, like the river OF
which Alexander broke the strength,
spent itself In channels which had no
great name on the earth. But the eff
feet Of her being on those around
her was intellectually diffusive; for the
growing good of the world is partly
dependent on unhistoric acts; and
that things are not so i'll with you and
me as they might have been, is half
owing to the number who lived faith
fully a hidden life, and rest in UNI

goods or produce for anybody he will
be criticized and possibly accused OF
getting a profit out Of the deal.
After the other work is well under
way the agent will turn his attention 10
the Improvement of home and commun.
ity life. He does this by directing the
home and community forces toward a
more wholesome, advantageous and at
lowing points are observed: education,
social life, recreation, living conditions,
and Identification of the home, farm
stead and countryside.
The county agent of Saginaw county
organized the Saginaw Valley Holstein
Friesian association. This organization
last summer visited a similar associa-
ton in Livingston county and inspected
the large herds.
In ten of the counties Of Michigan
the agents have formed potato associa-
tions for the purpose Of growing seed
potatoes. There is a great demand for
Michigan seed potatoes, but owing to
scab and other diseases, buyers have
been afraid of our stock. The county
agents see that they are grown and
kept free from disease.
Illustrations by the dozen could be
given of the good work being done by
these men both in Michigan and in
other states.
It all amounts to this. That If the
agriculture of community is improv-
ed, if the farmer can make $1.25 by
improved methods where he makes
only $1.00 now, the whole community
will be benefited. Each farm is an ex-
pertinent station wherein experiments
are tried every year. Many Of the
problems which our state institutions
are working on may have been worked
out on some mans farm. If he does
not publish his results, and few do, no
one but himself will be any better off
for his having solved the problem.
Here is where the county agent takes
up the work. He is practical, ex-
perienced expert capable of summarize
ing results and carrying them to the
next man where they may be applied.
OF course we have access to bull
letins, books, magazines, ETC., but
human nature is so constituted that it
puts off things until a more opportune
time, unless some one else takes the
initiative. We need leadership in farm
ing as we'll as in other smaller bust
nesses.
Increase the income of the members
of community and they will Of them
selves send their children to schools
and colleges. They will build more
libraries and auditoriums, read more
books and listen to better entertain
ments. They will have better stock on
their farms, more flowers in their
yards and the comforts of home within.
When you go to the polls in April
vote Eyes" for yourself, vote Eyes" for
your neighbor and vote Eyes" for Van
Buren, county. Vote to organize the
worlds biggest occupation on a bust
ness basis.

The village council has installed an
alarm bell on one of the electric light
posts in front of Clark's meat market,
with the expectation that it will serve
as both a police call and a fire alarm.
Three short rings of the bell will serve
as a police call, while the prolonged
ringing of 1t will serve as fire signal,
upon which fire alarm should be
turned in. The bell is operated from
