Comfy Judge.
From the Gettysbnrg ComplIer.

NEon Tue 1tllyhUuIk NOmpleI
The reasons for our support of
j. L. Butt for President Judge Of
51st Judicial District are numer-
GUS and most satisfying. He has
the ability, the legal acumen and
the character to grace the Bench.
His life has been above reproach.
He has always been a hard worker
and makes a success Of the things
to which he puts his hands and
the assurance that the district
will have an able and just Judge
by his election is in the life he
has lived and the things he has
done. One of his predominating
characteristics is a broad sense
of fairness and justice and his
many admirers and friends feel
that he would go on the Bench
to do justice without fear, favor
or prejudice.
Mr.. Butt comes of the best of
native parentage, the Butt and
the Deardorff families are among
the best families of Franklin
township. They have always
been held in highest esteem be-
cause of their many virtues and
the big township of Franklin
should roll up an enormous vote
for this favorite son.
Mr.. Butt has one characteris-
tic that the people can count up
on that he will bring to the dis
charge Of his duties. That is ini-
tiative. He is never satisfied to
do things like some one else, or
to do them in the easiest way.
He gives himself to the things
he does, to do them in the best
way they can be done. He has
had faith in his own judgment
and the land Of his native coun-
ty. He didn't buy farms and
let them take care of themselves.
1t was improvement all the time
with new methods and new ideas
He has never been afraid of an
idea. He believes in doing the
things better.
There is another predominant
ing characteristic of the man that
was recognized from the moment
he became a cannidate. That is
his good sound judgment. This
has been shown in his farming,
in his banking business, and es-
pecially in his practice of the law
His judgment has been sought
hundreds of times because of its
soundness and his ability to look
at proposition from all sides and
right through it.
j. L. Butt if elected Judge will
not be satisfied in giving less
than the best in him and that
means that justice will be dis
pensed with judgment. Poi. ADV

TRIP TO MICHIGAN.
Mrs. James Funk Tells Of An Enjoyable
Visit to the HOme Of Roy Decker
ard Family.

Mrs. James Funk formerly of
this county, left Tiffin, O., at
1920 on the morning of Septem-
ber 90th, and going via Toledo
and Jackson she arrived in Au-
gusta, Mich. at 1890 where she
was met by Mr.. Roy Decker.
Then a drive of 81 miles through
a country that in many respects
resembles Fulton County, they
arrived at Roy's home. Roy is a
native of Fulton county, he be-
ing a son Of the late John and
Eliza Fisher Decker, of Union
township. Roy went to Seneca
county, o., about 10 years ago
and made good use of his time
and opportunities, and three year
ago he went to Michigan where
he bought the farm he now oc-
cupies. His residence is one-half
mile from Gull Lake, which is a
popular summer resort. Being
situated in the central part Of the
State and in the very heart of
the lake region, midway between
Battle Creek and Kalamazoo.
Gull Lake is visited by hundreds
of pleasure seekers every sum-
mer. On Sunday Mr.. Decker
hitched up nice team and took
his family and Mrs. Funk out
nearly all day for a drive. They
saw much fine handsome, of
course that was not fine. In the
afternoon they came to Gull Lake
Now, for a boat ride % exclaim
ed the other members of the par
ty, but the lake looked a little to
wet for me, and it took a good
deal of persuasion to get me in
TO the boat. The lake is 7 miles
in length, and two, in breadth,
and a total trip of fourteen miles
But, after we are all ready the
boat which was a gasoline launch
called "The Juanita" moved out
gracefully and smoothly from its
moorings, and in a few minutes
all fear of drowning was gone,
and we had a most delightful
ride. There are more than eigh-
ty summer cottages around the
lake, and the summer visitors
pay good prices, which helps the
market for neighboring farmers.
Mrs. Decker gets "a cents for
her butter; "a for eggs; chickens
dressed. 80 cents a pound. Is
cents a quart for string'beans, IL
cents for blackberries, and 20 cts
a quart for raspberries. Tues
day morning Mr.. Decker took US
all to Kalamazoo, a distance of Ia
miles. He and son Willard re-
turned home in the evening and
the rest of us staid in Kalamazoo
until the next day. 1t was Pros
perity Week in the City and they
had big doings" all week. Kal-
amazoo is a city of about $4,000
people and it was beautifully dec
Grated for the occasion. But,
my letter is already too long and
| will just say in closing that l
had a most delightful time.
