In order to show producers and
dealers that better wool means more
money, a wool demonstration car has
been touring Montana, Idaho, Wyo-
ming and Utah for the past several
months. In the course Of that time 1t
has given demonstrations in more
than fifty towns and at least 5000
persons directly interested in Wool
growing have had an opportunity to
study the exhibits. These consist
chiefly of feeces representing the va
rious grades OF wool, but, in addition,
six head Of live sheep are carried
along as an object lesson in the value
of the different breeds.
The purpose Of the tour, in which
the United States department OF agri-
culture is cooperating with the agri-
cultural colleges OF the four states, Is
to increase interest in the movement
for the improvement Of American
wool The prevailing practice in this
country of marketing wool on guam
tity rather than quality basis has in
terfered with full realization on the
part Of producers of the factors which
determine the real value OF their clips.

feeces and do not understand the re-
lation between the market prices for
various grades OF wool and their own
profits. The idea Is not uncommon
that wool Ia wool and that the heav-
Ter the clip is, the bigger the profit
will be.
It Is this idea that the specialists
in charge OF the car are anxious to
dispel. The experience OF Australian
sheep growers has shown that it is
distinctly advantageous for the pro-
Queer to improve his flock, grade his
clip In the shearing shed, handle it
carefully and sell it not for lump
sum, but each grade by itself. Under
existing conditions in this country it
is not probable that the individual
grower would profit Immediately by
adopting this system, for organized Ell
fort will be necessary to effect so
radical a change in the prevailing
practice. Before any such effort can
be made, however, it Is essential that
growers should have more complete
knowledge of wool grades and of the
ways in which the requirements OK
manufacturers can be met most profit
ably. It is to spread this knowledge,
which at the present time Is far more
common among buyers than produc-
ers, that the demonstration car has
been sent on its tour.

Policy Of Negotiation.
"To maintain our national honor by
peace II we can, by war II we must"
is the motto of the president OF the
United States.
But before submitting to the chance
and misery Of war, true statesman
that he is, he proposes to put the rea-
son and Justice OF negotiation to the
test.
But, say our critics. this policy sat
isles no one.
They mean II does not satisfy those
who would map out new, and un-
tried course for this nation to pursue,
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1916-06-15

but they forget it does satisfy those
who believe the United States should
live up to the principles 1t has pro-
fessed for a century and more.
National Honor.
In desperation for slogan our op-
ponents try to create an issue out of
national honor.
Now national honor Is not the whim
of an individual mind.
National honor is the composite SEN
timent, the composite reason OF q
whole people feeling the emotions OF
nature and following the dictates Of
God.
And 1t is for this reason that "the
power" to declare war is conferred
by the Constitution Of the United
States, not on the individual will Of
president, but on the composite rea-
son, the representative decision OF
the congress OF the United States" "
Some Preparedness Ideas.
The genius Of this country Is for
peace. There is no danger Of mill
tarism
We have built our greatness on the
resources of nature and the peace
full toll of our people.
With us war has never been q
choice, 1t has always been fate. :
Like the old Mohawk chief who
loved peace, we would like to throw
the tomahawk Of war SO high In the
sky that no mans hand could ever
pull It down. But when some other
tribe among the races OF men sends
us bundle of arrows wrapped in
the skin Of rattlesnake, we want to
be in a position to send that rattle
snakes skin back stuffed with powder
and with ball.
We deprecate the compulsion but
we recognize the need Of the police
man on the beat, the safe in the
bank and the watchdog on the farm.
The war across the seas has
brought home to us the fear that SO
long as men are men and nations ma
lions, wars will continue.
For these reasons this administrar
ton has done more for our army and
our navy than any administration In
our history.
The Democratic party advocates and
seeks preparedness, but it Is prepared
ness for defense, not preparedness
for aggression.
Our National Soul.

EMPLOYEES OF BRASS
COMPANY HAD PICNIC

One hundred and six people attend
ed the big picnic Of the Grand Rapids
Brass company at Long Lake last
Saturday. They were conveyed to the
grounds by motor truck. The first
load left the city at six o'clock and
before ten everyone was at the lake.
Before dinner a tug-of-war among the
women was one of the features. AL.
Dorman and Henry Upholt were cap
tains of the two women and picked the
women. Dorman's side won the tug.
The men, under Ed. Ronk and AL.
Dorman, then took their turn. Dor

peanut race was featured but because
Of the extreme heat entries were linn
tied.

noon and a ball game with a picked
team from the Belding-Hall company
followed. Edwy Webster did the

against Farrar for the brass factory.

BACKBONE OF HEAT
BROKEN MON DAY
AFTERNOON RELIEF
NEW RECORD FOR TEMPERA-
TURE SET DURING PAST
WEEK; HIGH MARK 1O2

This community was relieved of the
heat Monday afternoon when an east
wind began to blow and the tempera-
ture fell several degrees. Before night
night it was comfortable and life was
worth living.
For about five days the whole COM
munity, along with all others in the
state and elsewhere, was in the grips
of the most severe heat wave it has
ever known. Last Thursday morn
ing broke with the thermometers reg
istering around the ninety mark.
Residents began to. exchange words
as to the intensity of the heat and
from then until relief came Monday
afternoon the weather was the all
absorbing topic of conversation. The
mercury jumped from ninety to nine
ty-two; soon it advanced to ninety
three and people began to perspire
freely. Before Thursday night the
high mark of ninety-four had been
reached.
Thursday night little relief came
and with a good early start Friday
the temperature advanced to ninety
six before the day was over. Saturday
came on hotter than ever and before
eleven o'clock it was one hundred in
many shaded places. Before the close
of the day a still farther advance
was made, according to the best Their
mometers, to 102. Many places in
more or less exposesi positions regist-
cred hotter temperatures than 102
some running up TO 105 and LOG.
The recent heat wave was record
breaker for this city. People were so
tired and exhausted that little work
could be done. They could not rest
at night and the heat caused them to
constantly seek means of relieving
themselves. While there were no
prostrations in the city mary persons
were very close to the danger line.
Tuesday morning wasszideal. A
light air was stirring and the temper
allure was about sixty-seven. Busi-
ness activities returned to normal
and neighbors greeted each other
with good natured word and a jovial
smile that had been lacking in the
days just preceding.

WATCH YOUR DOG OR
DEPUTY WILL GET 1T

Deputy Sheriff Mark Hoppough is
working under an assignment that is
not very much to his liking. The
state law requires the sheriff to kill
all dogs returned by supervisors as
not having paid the dog tax. 1t
would seem that this slaughter
should be looked after by the super
visor district inasmuch as the fees
are in no wise commensurate with
the task. Deputy Hoppough, how
ever, is working like good scout on
the job, and has so far cleaned up
three townships, having killed half a
dozen taxless ours in Otisco, 10 in
Sebewa, and 13 in Odessa. Easton
has reported lot of the ours that
come under the ban, as have several
other towns, which will in due time
be looked after.

The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of Belding, Orleans and

Baptist church here last Friday. In
spite of the extreme heat a goodly
number of women from all the points
were present. The meeting was
opened by a song from the regular

lowed by deyotionals in charge of
Mrs. F. p. Hannah, local president.
Many choice quotations were given
in response to the roll call which fol-
lowed.
Mrs. Earle of Orleans gave beau
tiful vocal solo and this was sue
ceeded by a paper written by Mrs.
Kohn of the same place. The paper
was read by Mrs. Face of that viii
lage. Following the reading of the
paper the subject of which was "The
Mission of Flowers" lively discus
sion of five minutes ensued. Mrs. L..

usual able manner. Mrs. W.. A.
Wilder discussed the topic Teaching
Parents" She brought out many
commendable ideas. Mrs. A. j. Damn
of Lake Odessa, district president of
the union, gave the noontide prayer,
after which adjournment was taken
for dinner.
The afternoon session was held in
the basement of the church, because
of the intense heat. The women
found the roms very comfortable.
