Operating Corn Mill.

On the same floor with the whea..
mill is a corr mill with a capacity for
grinding into meal six bushels of corn
per hour, A crusher for crushing
different kinds of grain, corncobs, etc,
is also located on the same fooH and
this piece of machinery has a capaci-
ty for crushing about ten bushels of
grain per hour.
Giant Corn Shelter.
On the floor above a big corn shelter
is in operation. From the shelter tie
corn is mechanically taken to IT,
floor above in the elevator and the ex-
traneous matter is famed from the
grain which in the process of cleaninz
is dropped to the basement below and
finally makes it's way back to the
second floor before reaching the h.
per of the grist mill on the first fl 4
hlr. Jordan las equipped his plant tc
take care of the by-products of the
corn, therefore the corncobs are con
verted into stock feed on the floor be

The words, Flat Rock Flour Mill.
the name under which Mr.. Jordan viii
operate his new enterprise, will bt
stamped on the sacks used for packing
the products of the plant.
70 Accommodate Mill Patrons.
Above the mill MI. Jordan has erect.
ed stalls for teams and a house fol
the accommodation of farmers wht
may find il convenient to remain at tine
mill over night in order to get the;
finished product of corn and whea'
before returning home. These stall:
and the bunk house will be for the
free and exclusive use of mill patrons
some of whom would be greatly in
&C nvenienced in unfavorable ,weathes
without lodging quarters.
Only Wheat Mill in County.
The Flat Rock Flour Mill is the
only one in Henderson county. This
mill at BfItmore has heretofore been
the closest one to the farmers of this
county, many of whom are said to have
failed to grow wheat by reason of the
inconvenience occasioned in taking il
to Biltmore to be ground into flour. A
large portion of the wheat in the coun-
ty was taken to Biltmore to be man
ufsctured into -four for home CON
Estimates on Wheat Growing.
Mr.. Jordan has not gone into the
mill business blfndlS.. He has made
Investigations Is to the prospects OF
this industry. In gathering reports
from wheat threshers Ia the county
he estimates that about 10. 600 bushels
OF wheat were grown here during the
past year. Mr.. Jordan also looked
into the flour consumption of not only
Henderson county but7thatsof cOutig
uous territory that could be conven-
iently served by his mill. He finds
that there is on an average a con-
sumption of 25 barrels of flour daily
and that the average daily expense
is in the neighborhood of $3.50 per day
for flour, a very small portion of which
is grown in this section. Mr.. Jordan
figures that wheat is am easy crop tt
grow and that Henderson county can
produce some of the finest to be had
az a cost that makes wheat growing
highly profitable especially when Hfg

TWO IMPORTANT MEASURES.

Among the important measures un-
der consideration in the Michigan state
senate at the present time are two bills
which are championed by Senator Trip
of the Allegan, Van Buren, district. One
is bill which calls for 2H cent fares
on all but trunk lines 10 Michigan, and
it's provisions are made optional with
the railways. Senator Trip believes
this bill will solve the railway rate con-
troversy in Michigan at this time. The
other bill which is equally important is
a measure to exempt all mortgages and
land contracts from taxation, and to fix
the rate of interest at six per cent. Sena-
tor Trip points out that the poor man
pays most of the specific tax and that ex-
perience has taught that it is a compar-
atively easy matter to evade such tax.
This bill is comparatively simple, but is
revolutionary and sweeping in it's effect.

Cement Fences.

During storm a vessel loaded with
cement ran ashore on Block island, a
short distance from the coast of Rhode
Island. In trying to save the vessel
they threw the cargo into the water,
and the cement hardened in the bar
rels. Then the farmers near by
knocked the barrels apart and hauled
the contents, which looked like CYL
inders Of stone, to their farms, and
this accounts for some extraordinary
hitching posts and supports for
porches or gates. Some of the bar
rellike stones are serving in fences,
but they aren't as picturesque as the
usual stone fence of New England.

NEW BUILDING FOR SCHOOL
AND PUBLIC PURPOSES.

The school board met last "Wednesday
evening. The most important business
transacted was the acceptance of the
plans OF Architect @. @. Young for a
new addition to the high school building,
and blue print copies we're ordered. The
annex will have two stories. The first
floor will contain a large high school
study and library 58x48 feet. This room
will also be opened to the public and all
class functions. The space beyond will
be divided into five large rooms and will
be ventilated and lighted class rooms for
high school pupils, who will occupy the
first floor of the high school building.
The entire upper floor will be known
as the auditorium and can be used for a
gymnasium. A large stage with appro-
pirate curtains and scenery, with two
good sized dressing rooms will extend
across one end. The remainder Of the
room will be we'll seated and it is estim-
ated that nearly 900 people can be ac-
commodated. This building, il erected,
as we hope it will be, will fill much
desired want, not only by the schools,
but by the public in general
The board will meet March for the
purpose of setting definite date on
which special election shall be held.
Only tax payers will be eligible to vote
on the proposition. This election will
be held about the middle of March. All
voters should in the meantime give this
a special consideration and be prepared
to vote for what will be of much benefit
to their children and the children Of
future years.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1915-02-19

WITH this issue we make our
initial bow to the public as editor
and manager Of The True North
erner. While we have assisted
in the years gone by with the
reportorial work and in other
capacities in connection with the
newspaper business, it is with
some trepidation that we assume
the editorial and managerial re-
sponsibility. We take up our
new duty with a full realization
of it's difficulties and responsible
tiles, but look forward with anti
cipation to the work before us.
We cannot hope to be as prolific
and efficient with the pen as
those of mature experience in
the journalistic field, but we shall
do our best to keep The True
Northerner where it has been in
the years gone by, in a promi-
nent place among country news
papers. We ask the forbearance
of the public for any omissions
or errors and respectfully solicit
your assistance and patronage.
It will be our most earnest en-
deavor to merit at all times your
confidence and good will.
Respectfully,
MAMIE q. WAKEMAN.

THE spring primary will be
held on Wednesday, March 3.
This primary will be mere for
mality, as but two candidates
have filed the requisite petitions
to entitle them to place on the
ticket, Edison V. Root in the re-
publican column and Mae Dean
in the democratic column. The
various political parties under
the law are entitled to place on
the ticket as follows: First col
umn, national progressive; Sec
ond column, republican; third
column, democratic; fourth col
umn, socialist; fifth column, pro
hibition; last column, socialist
labor. The legislature that
framed this primary law, by some
line of reasoning not easily un-
derstood, provided that the vote
at the last presidential election
should govern the relative posi-
ton of the various parties on the
primary ballot. So that, even
though one of the aforesaid par
ties should cease to exist, it must
still be given it's proper place on
the ballot at every primary cleo.
