WILSON WILL VOTE FOR
SUFFRAGE IN JERSEY
Not As Leader of Party, But As
Private Citizen Called Upon
by His Legislature.
CALLS 1T STATE ISSUE.
The Nations Chief Executive Will Ex-
press His Conviction at the Polls
When He Casts His RalIof

| PRESIDENT Wilson has declared his
intention of voting for woman suffrage
IN New Jersey October l9, and nation
al suffrage leaders with Headquarters
IN Washington declare it is the begin.
ming of the end of opposition to votes
for women. They said il made sue
cess in New Jersey practically certain.
and New York, Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania very probable.
The President authorized the follow
ing announcement:
. intend to vote for woman suffrage
IN New Jersey b cause / believe that
the time has come to extend that priv
illege and responsibility to the women
OF the States. but | shall vote. not as
the leader of my party in the nation,
but only. upon my private conviction
as citizen of New Jersey called upon
by the legislature of the State to ex-
press his convictions at the polls.
Il think that New Jersey will be
greatly benefited by the change. MY
position withgregard to the way in
which this great question should be
handled is Wei known. | believe that
it should be settled by the States and
not by the national government and
that in no circumstances should it be
made party question, and my view
has grown stronger at every turn Of
the agitation.
Despite the qualification placed upon
his commitment by the President, it
has been received joyfully by the
equal suffrage advocates. His action
is viewed not only as bringing import
antinew support to the fight in New
Jersey. but also in the contests in New
York, Pennsylvania and Massachu-
It's. In the last named States elec.
tions will be held IN November 2, and
the suffragists feel that what ever the
outcome of the Jersey election, the
President pronouncement will
strengthen their hand
Indeed, doubt is entertained by some
of the President own advisers wheth-
er yesterdays statement will be suffi-
cient TO drag the suffrage movement
from defeat in New Jersey. Accord
ing to information reaching Washing
ton from responsible sources in New
Jersey the suffragists neglected to Sc
cure the registration of their full
strength, while the anti-suffragists are
said to have been especially vigorous in
this respect.

Of the small farmer, that can be used

vesting, offers prospects OF economies

labor and horse flesh is a serious item
OF expense. Al the present time the
motor tractor. steam or gasoline as
applied 10 agriculture, is adapted in
the great wheat fields Of the North
west in blowing, reaping and thresh-
ing. but IL costs and its size render its
use impracticable for the small hol-
der. a small and cheap tractor will
serve thousands of farmers where the
huge machine OF the present day. by
its own limitation, serves only a few
individuals under fixed conditions
Such a tractor as Mr. Ford proposes
10 manufacture should serve all the
purposes on the the farm of a general
motor in pumping, saving, grinding
grain and cutting feed. The first cost
will be less than that of a good horse
and the maintenance will be much
less, especially when measured by its
productive powers. In the mechan-
les of farming a new farm implement
meeting so universal a need is likely TO
take its place with the moving ma
chine and reaper in the influence il
exercises upon agriculture and farm

large share OF the work of planning
and carrying out the work on the

$4,000 for it. Locke wanted some ex-
ira things thrown in with the farm
and after some dickering Mr.. Hull
gave him COW, a grindstone, a grain
cradle and fat hog with the farm.
Locke paid s1400 in cash and lived
there several years, finally selling the
farm to pay the balance Of the debt
20 Mr.. Hull. The next farm venture
was in Oakfeld township west of
Greenville.
The Oakfield farm was later sold to
their son, Ed. Hull. Young Hull was
not able to make ends meet on the old
farm on account of conditions and
when he was unable to meet the mort
gage that came due the father and
mother went to Frank r. erase, not
ary' public at Smyrna, and had the
mortgage Cancelled and presented it
to the son.
Mr.. Hull was wounded in the army
and has drawn pension ever since
he left the service. Besides the son
ne has a daughter, Mrs. Delbert
Northway of Smyrna, still living. His
Oldest brother, Erastus, lived in
Saranac until few years ago, when
he died. Erastus has a daughter,
Mrs. Sparks, living here. Another
brother of Mr.. Hull's, Holland Hull
lives at Cottage Grove, Oregon. Mr..
Hull has two great great grandchil-
dren. He and Mrs. Hull have been
visiting at the Sparks home in the
southeast part of Belding.

OLD TIME RESIDENT
TELLS Of EARLY
LIFE NEAR BELDING
SINCE 1874 WHEN HE CAME TO
MICHIGAN HE HAS OWN
ED Is FARMS

A. l.. Hull, who is now almost SO
years of age, is an old resident of
this section of the country. He is
hale and hearty, and was able to give
us an excellent account Of his early
struggles in Ionia county. Mr.. Hull
was in the Tenth Michigan cavalry
during the civil war. In the same reg
iment with him was George Brown
of this city and Eli Hanks who lives
south of Belding. Mr.. Hull's father,
Erastus Hull, was on one of the lake
vessels during the war of 1912.
A. L. Hull together with his seven
brothers, mother and father, came to
Ionia county Michigan from Illinois
in the spring of 1914. They drove
two yoke of oxen and led four head
of horses. Their wagon was the old
Pennsylvania model. They landed in
Keene township, near Potter's Cor
ners on the tenth of June. The boys
grandparents had previously come in
the territory and had built small
house there. The farm was situated
next to what is now the Hawley
place. When the immigrants passed
through the present site of Lawell
there was only one house in the vic
Unity of the junction of the rivers.
John Muckle ran the ferry and fer
ried them over the Grand river at
that point.
The family settled on a farm next
to them, owned by A. l.. HulPs grand
father and began the task of cutting
out fortune in the forest, Near to
the farm was large swamp, in
which cranberries and huckleberries
grew, and good use was made of the
fruit. The boys began Immediately
to trap all through that section and
many a raccoon, skunk and other fur
bearing animals fell victim to their
skin.
