THURSDAY CLUB REVIVED
AT HOME OF MRS. ORSER

After two years the dormant
Thursday Twelve club was revived at
the home of Mrs. William Orser last
Thursday evening. The clubs meet
ings, held for many years at regular
two-week intervals, was dropped two
years ago when some of the members
left the city and it was supposed
would never be revived again. The
meeting of last Thursday, however,
branded the club as being as live as
ever.
A six o'clock dinner was served by
the hostess and everyone had good
time. Aside from the jovial CONVEX
sations, Mrs. Sarah Hopwood. a men,
Der of the club read a poem of her
own composing. Here it is:
The Thursday Twelve have met again
And, oh, | am so glad,
For two long years we haven't ct;
Now isn't that too bad?
| don't see how you've kept so fat
Without a bite to eat
| know I'd been most awful thin
And wobbly on my feet.
Our dear friend Orser knows how
much
We all depend on lunch
And so she opened wide her doors
To feed the hungry bunch.
And now | hope we'll keep right on
And never stop again
As long as one of us is left
In valley, hill or on plain.

FAKIR SOLD DRESS
GOODS PATTERNS

The festive dress goods patter fakir
has been in the city the past week
and made the rounds lseling his pat
terms from house to house wherever
ne could land a customer. There were
two of them, one boy not out of his
teens with a hard luck story. He
would try to sell what he called a
dress pattern of most excellent quail
ity of goods for eleven dollars, then
eight and finally in order to close a
quick bargain would take $3.50 for
the eleven yards. Mrs. A. Skelcher
felt Sorry for the boy with the hard
luck story and bought a pattern. At
ter the fellow had gone she opened
up the goods and found only seven
yards of poor quality. Mrs. Skelcher
realized at once that she had been
stung but took the situation
philosophically. How many more pat
terms were sold at the same price to
customers in the city is not known.

of explosive compounds used in shells
and in making smokeless powder) as
well as in clothing, so that it COM
mands big price which will far
more than recompense for the small
ness of the crop.
Thus it appears that American
farmers are due for another good
year. Here and there are localities
which have crops that are far less
than normal. But the country over
the farmers will have crops above
the average, and prices much above
the average, so that we shall prosper
in America despite our own folly in
opening our markets TO the world.
This will be because the war operates
as protective tariff, thus saving US
from the damage which would newt
ably have come but for the tragic
strife across the seas.
That this is true is shown by the
effort now being made by Secretary
of Treasury McAdoo to induce the
new congress to amend the law pass
ed by it's predecessor, which would
have put sugar on the free list next
year, so that the present duty on
sugar will be continued. And this is
also conclusively proven by the inves-
tigation being made by Secretary of
Commerce Redfield, who avows the
purpose of his investigation to be to
save American industries from dam
aging competition from foreign in
dustries when the big war is ended.
Too bad this wasn't done before the
war. 1t would have saved the bust
ness men of America a great deal of
suffering, from most of which we for
tunately escaped by the opening of
hostilities in Europe. But we ought
to be big enough to have an economic
policy that would not make it neces-
sary to have a war in Europe to save
our industries from destructive for
eign competition.

NATIONS CROPS
FOR THIS YEAR ARE
THE MOST VALUABLE
THE YEAR OF NINETEEN FIJI
TEEN WILL SET RECORDS
QUANTITY AND VALUE
WHEAT CROP WILL PASS
BILLION BUSHELS MARK
Corn Is Still King In The North; Oats,
Cotton and Tobacco Are All
Big Crops

The year of 1915 will not be so bad
for the United States, despite the Eu-
ropean war, the rainy weather and
other drawbacks. The crops this year
set new records in quantity, and the
demand for them will assure large
prices, so that the year will be more
prosperous than it possibly could have
been it there were no war. The for
eign demand for American ammuni-
ton, shells, rifles, cannon, and for all
kinds of materials that are needed in
warfare, has made business for thou
sands of American workmen who were
facing and would have suffered from
severe business depression incident to
the lower duties on manufactured
goods and materials made by the last
congress.
Consequently every factory that can
or will make automobiles, shoes, sad
dies, clothing, ammunition, guns,
shells, cannon, ETC., for the warning
nations of Europe is crowded with or
ders; and the men of Europe, being
engaged in Strengthening each other in
stead of tilling fields, create an abnor-
NAL demand for American farm pro-
ducts of all kinds. Fortunately for
us and for the world, the United
States will have a wheat crop that
will pass the one billion bushel mark
for the first time. According to the
government crop report, our corn crop
will exceed three billions of bushels,
and oats one and one-half billions.
The excess of these three crops over
last year is nearly 900,000,000 bushels.
In addition to these crops, 1915 will
make, according to the government re-
port. a new record for hay, barley,
rye, rice and sweet potatoes. Cotton
will not be a record crop as not so
much was planted this year because
of the low price last year. But there
is a great demand for it here and
abroad for ammunition Git is the basis

Property to the extent Of $1,110,000
was destroyed in Massachusetts last
year as result of the carelessness of
smokers. The careless handling of
matches is held responsible for prop
erty losses totaling over SAT- 900 and
smokers are guilty of the major por-
ton of this mischief for few of them
ever look where they throw lighted
match after using it to light their to-
bacco. They are also charged with
carelessness in the matter of striking
their matches, often defacing build
ings, monuments, ETC., and even MARI
ing the finish on highly polished auto
mobiles.

Nav Pay Road Money

When the last Legislature passed
the new automobile law providing for
tax on motor cars according to
weight and horsepower provision was
made that rs per cent of the fees
collected should be returned to the
counties where the machines were
owned, while % per cent goes to the
state highway fund.
The law says that this money shall
be returned to the counties Jan. /.
AS the bill does not go into effect until
Jan l, 1916 this means that the coun-
ties will have to wait until Jan. /,
1917. However, Auditor General Full
Ter says that if Secretary of State
Vaughan is willing this section of the
law will be disregarded and the first
return to the counties will be made
some time next April.

Estate To Be Closed

The estate of the late Abijah Rich
who died in this city about fifteen
years ago and which had not been set
tied because one of the heirs, Fred
Rich, son of the deceased, could not
be located, will now be put in line for
closing the estate.
There is now on deposit with the
county treasurer S2,510.55, which
could not be distributed until Fred
Rich showed up, or until the law
makes him legally dead.
Fred Rich disappeared in August,
1910, and in two years more he will
be declared dead, if he does not come
to claim his share. The estate will
then be distributed among the living
heirs.

Enioyed The Trip Very Much

VIM. r. Odds and son Robert re-
turned Tuesday from a four days
visit at Baldwin, Scottville and Lud-
ington. They were visiting Mrs. Odds
relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank L. Moon also
accompanied them and the trip was
made in Mr.. Olds machine.
On the route Travelled over some
of the territory where Mr.. Olds work
ed in the lumber woods and hauled
logs and supplies forty years ago,
whoch was very interesting to him to
note the great change that has come
about since those days.
At Paris the party inspected the
fish hatchery. From Baldwin to Lud-
ington Mr.. Odds says the road runs
and winds through many acres of pine
plains land which at present seems
to be worthless. On the whole the
trip was most interesting one to
all the party

CHAS. B. WRIGHT HAD
SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Charles c. Wright met with a pain
full accident at his home Friday night
He had been hauling his millet into
the barn and after unloading it,
he jumped from the wagon intending
to land on the oat straw NOV, but
in some manner made mistep and
fell heavily, striking on his shoulder.
The impact broke one of the bones in
his breast. He was taken to the
house and DR.. +. W. Little was quick
ly called who adjusted the fracture
and made him as comfortable as pos
sible.
Mr.. Wright is 70 years old and the
fall was bad one for so old a man
to experience. The doctor says if
other complications do not set in he
sees no reason why Mr.. Wright will
not recover from his serious injury.

Star theatre last Friday evening was
largely attended. The students of the
class covered the city and community
thoroughly in their canvas on the

Philip Manson OF New York, whose own shipping interests entite
him to speak as al authority, declares in a letter to the Philadelphia
Record, that private interests will never build an American merchant
marine, because they al operate their vessels cheaper under foreign
flags; and we will never grant a subsidy, because the normal profits in
the shipping business are so large that ever under the increased cost
OF American operations extraordinarily large dividends are possible and
tween the large profits possible under the American flag and the great
er profits possible under foreign flags
These are frank words, and their Importance are not to be under
estimated. Here is a man who has himself established a successful
steamship line. testfying that the norma profits of the shipping bust
ness ven under the increased cost OF American operation owe opera
ton under foreign flags, are large, that extraordinarily large dividends
are possible Unlike some OF his business competitors, Mr.. Manson
IS content with such profits and does%not ask that they De swollen BY
special privilege legislation in the form OF ship subsidies.
This frank and fair shipping man favors the administration shipping
bill now before congress. He points out the need of al American
marine and the sdfevident fact that private interests will never build
it because they AN operate their vessels cheaper under foreign flags
despite the fact that extraordinarily large dividends are possible under
the somewhat increased cost OF American operations
Mr.. Mansons statement is illuminating. 1t reveals the true reason
for the opposition to the administrations shipping bill. Selfish inter
ess, not content with" extraordn ary large dividends" cry for s11
more and hope to cur them by means OF ship subsidies. The eTa3-
lshment OF a government owned merchant marine would demohsh tn IT
last hope of ship subsidy legislation. Hence the frenzied opposition -,
the administration measure.
