Revival at Pine Run

Rev. w. ID. Workman, of Howard
City, evangelist for the Church of
Christ. will hold series of evangelistic
meetings in the church at Pine Run
every evening this week, next Sunday
morning and evening, and for as long a
time thereafter as may be warranted.
Rev. Mr.. Workman has been engaged
in evangelical work for many years
and has been very successful in infus-
ing new life into churches that had be-
come decadent. He is said to be very
interesting speaker and those who at
tend the services will, we are sure, be
well repaid. 1t is, perhaps, hardly nec-
essary to add that everyone is most cor
daily invited to attend.

for the installation of gas was incorp0-
rated in the franchise, his company
would eliminate that feature if the peo-
pie desired and he could not state that
gas service would be installed soon, al
though there seemed to be good pros
poets for 1T in the near future. We are.
also told that Mr.. Baird thought that
his company might put in a water
works system for Clio, if the people
should want it, but he could not be very
definite on this point.
The council took the whole matter
under advisement and will, we under
stand, make trip to Fenton, Monday,
at which place the Flint Electric Co.
succeeded privately owned plant and
where the conditions are precisely
similar to those existing in Clio. The
result of their Investigations will un-
doubtedly be made known at an early
date.
The franchise asked for covers a per-
iod of thirty years, but is not exclusive,
and the village would be free to grant
another franchise to any other company
at any time if it should deem such action
expedient.

TELL the AssEssoR ALL

DURING the month of April the
assessor will call upon the tax
payers, and this is the year in
which he gathers the statistics
which are tabulated and reported
to the governor. They constitute
the official statistics of the state
and receive the widest possible
publicity that the state govern
ment can give them.
1t is of vital Importance to the
farmer that he understands this
proposition, for instead of these
figures working against him, they
are his only protection against
the Spectator who arranges his
figures to suit himself, and which
might work against the farmer. If
the farmers figures prove mac
curate and unreliable, then his

STANDING ROCK OPENING

President Wilson has approved
the opening to settlement of sew
eral thousand acres in the Stand
ing Rock Indian reservation i'm
South and North Dakota to be dis
posed of under the homestead
laws.
After the two states have made
selections to which they are en-
titled there will remain $4,000
acres in North Dakota and $1,000
acres in South Dakota subject to
entry.
A new system is to be tried
which does away with the old lot
terry used at the Rosebud and 9TH
er places. The land will be open
to inspection from May 3 to May
10, and filing may be made on the
later date. In the event there is
more than one applicant for the
same piece of land, these contest
ants will draw lots.
In South Dakota the filings will
be made at Timber Lake and i'm
North Dakota at Bismarck. There
are 100000 acres in the reser-
walton, but after the state has ia
ken it's share and with the Indian
allotments made, there remains
but 100000 for settlement.

North Star" for the purpose of
taking it overland to the Red riv-
er. After towing the boat to the
Crow Wing, Northrup dismantled
it, hewed new timbers to take the
place of the defective parts of the
boat, and in the spring loaded new
and old timbers in wagons drawn
by thirty four horses. A difficult
trip across country was speedily
accomplished and the timbers un-
loaded at Lafayette, at the mouth
of the Sheyenne river. Here the
boat was rebuilt and before long
steamed to Fort Abercrombie, To-
Gated near the present site of the
city of Wahpeton, North Dakota.
There pilot house was built and
the boat christened the Anton
Northrup. Northrup's chief pur-
pose in placing the boat on the
Red river was to gain the bonus
offered and then sell the boat. it
never being extensively operated
until after it was sold to Capt.
Burbank in 1860.

A UNIQUE Ap. CAMPAIGN
Liberal Merchant Shares His Ad-
vertising Appropriation With
His Customers

That our enterprising clothier,
Mr.. R. R. Hausken, is most liberal
i'll the treatment of his customers
will no doubt be conceded by all
when the public generally fully
realizes the value of the premiums
he is going to give away during
his present advertising campaign.
Twenty years ago the merchant
who announced that he was going
to give away high grade piano,
several genuine gold watches, a
talking machine and several sets
of dishes would almost have been
considered a fit subject for in
vestigation. However, modern
conditions demand modern meth
DDS and as an up-to-date merch-
ant Mr.. Hausken is using them.
The people appreciate such liber-
ality and will no doubt give Mr..
HauSken a generous patronage in
return.
An examination of the piano
and other premiums on exhibition
at the store will convince all that
Mr.. Hausken is maintaining his
reputation for giving the people
good values whether he is selling
goods or giving them away. We
are sure that who ever wins that
beautiful Segerstrom piano will
be very proud of it and none will
be ashamed to claim the gold wat
ches or other premiums when they
are awarded to them.
T Mr.. Hausken announces that his
reputation for giving all square
deal will be fully sustained during
this Campaign. You should call at
the store, examine the premiums,
learn the plan and read the reg
ulations governing the awarding
of the premiums. You will then be
fully convinced that everything is
going to be done in the right way
and you will no doubt want to try
to secure one or more of the pre-
miumS.

TO PLANTERS OF
EARLY POTATOES

Truck growers who annually
plant a considerable acreage of
potatoes are warned by the de-
partment that there was, on JAM
uary 1, 1915, a very much larger
supply of northern-grown pota-
toes in the hands of growers and
dealers than was the case Janu-
airy 1, 1914. Experience has DEM
Onstrated that a large hold-over
crop of northern-grown potatoes
which is in good condition and
selling at reasonable price when
the early truck-crop potatoes
reach the market means low pri-
ces-sometimes so low that the
shipment of such crops nets a loss
to the grower. Under such condi-
tions small acreage means a
smaller loss than a large acreage.
With 43,OOO,0OO more bushels
of potatoes in sight January 1,
1915. than were available at the
same time last year and with a
1915 price of 1872 cents as COM
pared with 66.2 cents year ago,
a price which under the then ex-
listing conditions did not improve
before the truck crop began to-
move, there is little hope that the
conditions will be better this. year.
The price now is just about 80
per cent less than it was year
ago. The distribution of the crop
is much better than last season;
so there is little likelihood that
the price of hOld-over stock will
reach last years mark even by the
end of the storage period.

Commissioner Flint, of the agri-
cultural department, is guarding
the interests of both the farmer
and the state, and is out with the
request that all farmers, for their
own good if nothing more, get as
near the exact figures as possible
when the assessor calls.
The same applies to those in
the cities and villages who are
engaged in manufacturing and
other enterprises, in that they
should make as good a showing
as possible, as every item of pro-
gress is a recommendation for the
state. Everything showing indus

UNITED STATES AND JAPAN
Count Okuma Says There is no
Ground for Anticipating Trouble
Between The Two Nations

Yokohama, April 28.-"There is no
real ground for apprehension as to
the future relations between Japan
and the United States. There is no
real cause for alarm. Japan's econo-
mic interests lie close at home and
that fact is we'll understood here.
That is the way in which Count
Okuma. the head Of the Japanese
government, summed up this after
noon the expression of his views on
Acknowledgements situation. 1t was
a frank and interesting discussion OF
matters that have caused great deal
of uneasiness in both the United
States and Japan, and it presented
the situation from the Japanese point
of view in a way which is worthy OF
the thoughtful attention of Amer"
cans who really care about continuing
friendly relations with Japan and are
concerned for the extension Of the
commerce between the two countries
Count Okuma is one Of the mosi
distinguished of the older Statesmen
of Japan, but is not one OF the sr'a-'
group of powerful leaders VINO have
bee known for so long as the Genro
or elder statesmen.
With the death Of Prince Ito a.
the hands of an assassin few year
ago, the power and influence OF tina;
group was greatly lessened. 1t mas
further decreased with the increas
ing age and inirmity of the remain"
ing members.
Practically the last expression o.
the influence of these old leaders was
in the selection Of Count OKuma to
form the ministry that has just come
triumphantly through the test oil &
national election.
