HEAVY TREASURY DEFICIT

One OF the gravest problems which
confront this administration is the
tremendous deficit in the United
States Treasury, in round numbers,
S75,000,000 for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1915, about twice the amount
of the deficit for the year ending
June 80, 1914. All the Juggling which
the treasury officials may do with the
receipts and disbursements will not
serve to disguise the fact that Dem
ocratic conduct of the nations fin
ances has been attended with disaster.
The Underwood Tariff bill has been
a hopeless failure as revenue pro-
Queer. Even the war taxes, which are
a burden to many people, and which,
with an adequate Tariff bill, would
have compensated for such loss of
revenue as was due directly to the
European war, have failed to main
tain the revenues at safe level.

Lake Odessa business men were
planning 10 have a balloon ascension on
a recent Saturday and arranged with a
Grand Rapids air pilot for the exhibit
ton. The day before he was due TO
arrive he sent word to the committee
that on account Of being a first class
aeronaut but very poor fnancier his
gas bag was lin hook" and it would
take sac TO get il ont. The committee
not desiring to disappoint the crowd,
sent him the $40 and have not seen
him since The popular belief is that
he started 70 fly from Grand Rapids
in his balloon, but lost his bearings
and is still scouting over the country
trying to locate the enterprising little
Tonia county village.

In 1S49, the father, Erastus Hull,
got the California gold fever and
left for the seat of prospective great
riches. He remained for eleven years,
leaving the wife and children at home
to rustic for themselves. The boys
were energetic ard provided plenty
of the necessities and the boys Of the
family gfew TO majority. A. L. Hull
became acquainted with Miss Ina In
gals, who lived to the north of the
Hull farm and on January /, 1856
they were married. Since that time
Mr.. and Mrs. Hull have owned thir-
teen different farms, finally settling
in Smyrna, thirteen years ago, where
they had purchased property and
where they now live.
The first piece Of land purchased
was a strip situated across the road
from the farm now owned by Alfred
Jonas, north of Belding. At another
time an eighty acres was purchased
of John Scheidt for $3.50. Mr.. Hull
gave Scheidt gun for fifty dollars
and paid the other hundred in cash.
At one time Mr.. Hull owned farm
of forty acres near Bushnell. The
lumbermen of that time damned the
creek up near the farm to float the
logs down from the upper country to
the sawmill. The water flooded most
of Hull's farm. When the logs haS
been foated the dam was removed
and the water went down. Mr.. Hull
had to go to Ionia when he wanted
hired girl and after he got girl out
to the farm she would seldom stay
longer than week and he would re-
turn and find another. The damp,
swampy soil of that country caused
a great deal of ague. Mr.. Hull said
he had it so bad at one time that
he shook the stove down with his
Liter Mr.. Hull moved to Kiddville
and took up abode in an old red house
that used to stand there. While there
he made a large share of his living,
selling milk safes and tanning mills
the country. After living at
Kiddville a year Mr.. and Mrs. Hull
moved to a forty-acre farm known
as the BOSNIAN farm which Mr.. Hull
mad purchased for s1400. They kept
he farm about year when Wilbur
Locke came along one day and want
ID to buy it. Hull offered 10 take

HASTINGS Sailed GAME
LOST SAVIOR IN NlNETH

One of the warmest games of the
season was played at Leonard Park
last Saturday when the locals and
! Hastings tusseled for the days hon
ors. Rathburn went to the mound for
Bedding after arriving on late
train from Grand Rapids and with
out warming up. The Hastings hit
tiers drove his delivery all over the
lot from the start and scored five
runs. Rathburn was then relieved by
Voss who held the visiting sluggers
to only two more hits. They secured
lead. however, that the home team
was unable to overcome. In the ninth,
with Voss and Siner on, Hoolehan hit
safe through center and forced Voss
to third. When he worked for lead
on pegg TO second, the horsehide
appeared at third and he was Gagged
between the base and plate. When he
tried to beat the ball to the keystone
Foster assumed a football attitude, ,as
if plunging the line, and hit Voss with
his shoulder in the pit of the stom-
ach. Noss was thrown over Fosters
head by the impact and fell back
having touched him with the ball.
bSANAf AilllhillE ilC ildh IOOAtn the
umpire ran TO the bench and allowed
Siner and Hoolehan to make the cir
cult. Voss was worked for several
minutes before he was able even TO
rise from the ground. The umpire
called all three of the runners safe
at home.
Hastings manager, Foster, claimed
the game for his team by a 5 to 3
count, however. Scores of fans. left
their seats and entered the ground,
when the dispute began and a very
unsportsmanlike aspect prevailed.
Belding fans were indignant at the
manner assumed by Foster, and gave
voice to their feelings. The game up
to this time had been exceedingly
clean and all the fans had maintain
ed their usual kindly feeling toward
visiting teams, combining their re-
marks TO witticisms and good natured
EXPLANATIONS.
The management of the local club
and a large share of the citizens de-
plore the unfortunate happening that
may result in a breach between the
teams and fans of the two cities.
They do not feel inclined TO claim the
game under the circumstances and
would much rather concede it to Hast
ings than to have any i'll feeling ex-
ist. No i'll feeling is entertained loo
ally by the fans against the Hast
ings team and their commendable
playing, but they do feel that the
last play, when Foster apparently
lost his head, was nsportsmanlike
in any player regardless Of his af-
filiations. Games on the local dia-
mond are and have always been con-
Quoted along the most favorable lines
and only such conduct has been toler-
ated as would lend an impetus to
our national sport. The local man
agement and the city is exceedingly
sorry for the happening, and rep
etition of the occurance will be care
fully guarded against at all times. 1t

WHAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS

81 believe the best interests Of the
United States require Republican
Government at Washington" says
Hon. Samuel w. Mccall in the New
York Journal. "In regard to our for
iegn affairs and difficulties we are no
longer Republicans and Democrats
we are all Americans ready to sup
port our President. That is Repub-
icanism. But we cannot neglect our
domestic affairs. Democratic Tariff
schedules have thrown millions Of
workers out Of employment. 1t is
time for the American people to con-
slider well their own interest. The
war now operates as a Protective
Tariff, but it vii not last forever.
Those men who are fighting now will
go to work sooner or later and then
competition will be fierce"

Michigan people are apt TO think

il is interesting TO find that one manu-

There is certainly strong temper
ance wave prevailing the country at
large tending toward the prohibition
Of the LIQUOR traffic. The latest to
show the trend Of sentiment is from
Alberta, which went dry by major
ity of nearly two to one in a plebes-
cite vote, under the new direct legisla-
tion act, last week it declared in favor
of the proposed liquor act prohibiting
the sale of liquor throughout the pro-
vinces. All the cities except Leth-
bridge went dry, Edmonton showing
a majority of 5000 and Calgary about
$500. The new liquor prohibition act
goes into effect July /, 1916.

TRADING AT HOME

A great deal has been said about
the duty OF man owes TO his home
town, as concerns trading with local
merchants. Trading at home is not
SIMPLY duty; 1t is good judgment. AS
a result the money you pay out at
home Is very likely 10 be engaged in
buying new stock, charging enter
prises and improving local conditions
generally.
The average person must 90 to
market. He has something TO sell as
well as the merchant-crops, stock,
porduce, labor or service Of some
kind kind. And il must follow that
the more money that is in circulation
in the community the more likely you
will find demand and ready cash for
what you have to sell.
The exchange of commodities be-
tween ourselves necessarily makes
each man an essential factor in the
community. To promote this ex
change is to help one another. The
money you send away seldom, if ever,
comes back, and by so doing you de-
prive some business institution of the
opportunity to supply you, of turning
over the money invested with which
to replenish its stock, and fair pro-
fit which is must have not only to
exist but to become the benefit to
the town which it rightfully should.
By keeping your money in the COM
munity as far as possible you en-
courage laudable endeavor, get round
measure in exchange and help to
bring employment to yourself and
friends. You foster a live home
market and help wonderfully in max
ing the town grow and flourish as you
and ever other loyal citizen would like
TO see it nr0sper.

Good Cream Makes Good Butter.

At the present time, according to
close students of dairy conditions in
the country. only a small percentage OF
the butter produced can be classed as
fancy table butter. The remainder
ranges from medium to very poor in
quality. This condition of affairs is
largely owing to the producer of the
cream. Butter makers are today In a
better position to manufacture good
butter than ever before, but without
good cream, good butter is an impos-
sibility
Before the use Of the hand separ-
ator became common, 1t was Gus
tomary to deliver the whole milk TO
the creamery daily. Now, however
that creamery patrons may separate
their cream at home. there is a ten
dency to hold It so long that 1t often
reaches the creamery in a partially
fermented and decomposed state. Poor
butter is the result, and this in turn
affects the butter market and tends to
force down prices for the cream pro-
ducer. -

N. B. Danforth has sold hundreds
of jars of Hokara, and although he
offered to refund the purchase price
to any dissatisfied purchaser, not one
jar has been returned.
While this is surprising in itself,
yet the most marvellous thing is the
reports of chronic cases Of eczema
that have been cured by this simple
skin food People who have suffered
with scales, scabs and even bleeding
itching have found relief in Hokara
No matter where the eczema, pim-
pies or other breaking out occurs,
whether on the face, hands, legs or
body. the application of Hokara
should give quick relief, and even the
worst or most chronic cases should
be cured in a short time
You can buy a liberal-sized jar to-
day at the very low price of 25c. and
with every package goes n. B. DON
forth's guarantee to refund the money
if il is not satisfactory.
