by Hon. Jason Woodmau. 1t dealt
principally with the agricultural problem
from both practical and scientific
standpoint. Preparedness" was really
the keynote of the address and many
com arisons we're made between the ag-
ricultural methods in vogue in the
United States and those employed in
foreign countries. Mr.. Woodman is
also a firm believer in preparedness 8
from military standpoint and made
some pointed illusions to this subject.
Mr.. Woodman is the farm agent for

residence 10 Paw Paw township,a greater
part of his tine is spent in Kalamazoo
county He has made life study OF
agriculture, is thoroughly in love with

PLAINTIFF GETS JUDGMENT

The Mock Trial given by the ladies of
the Coterie under the management of
A. V. Newton which was held at Long,
wells opera house Wednesday evening,
was worthy of much larger crowd.
The several parts we're we'll taken and
the witnesses caused much merrimenJ
by their queer testimony. rhe jury
was composed OF IL celeberties.y such as
Woodrow Wilson, Henry Ford. Roosevelt
Sullivan aud so on. In fact the only
one missed was William jennings Bryan.
Of course the fair plaintiff was as
near winning her case as they ever are.
TheJurors brought in a verdict OF $3 AS
OF which amount the jurors were to re-
ceive S3 90 and the judge the remaining
48c. 1t was sure some fun and the
crowd should have been much larger,
but the school entertainment coming
the same week undoubtedly drew from
this.
Rev. Shape entertained the audience
with cornet and violin solos that we're
much Ell Iyed.

COTERIE ASSURED
SOLONS' POSITION

On motion, the secretary of the Cotorie
was requested to write our representa-
tive and state senator in congress urg-
ing them to use their influence in behalf
OF the Sheperd Bill for the prohibition
of the sale or manufacture of all intox-
icating liquors IN the District OF Colum-
bia and also upon the NatioIal Constit-
utional Prohibition Bill which is now
pen ding in Congress. The secretary re;
csived the following reples:-
Dear Madam am giving the propo.
sition for prohibition in the District of
Columbia and the Prohibitive Consti-
tutional Amendment my most conscien-
tious attention. now expect to vote for
the former although l have not gone
into the matter 10 all its aspects l will
go into it before l am called upon to
vote.
am not so cleared about the latter
My own idea has been to allow each
state to settle the matter of prohibition
by itself and l would pass federal law
prohibiting the shipment of Intoxicating
liquors from any state into dry state.
1 am in favor of temperance and any
constitutional effective legislation to
that end will have my support.
Respectfully yours,
Charles e. Townsend.
Dear Mrs Bailey : Your letter received
and am writing you in reply in Mr..
Hamilton's absence. Mrs Hamilton
died Friday Night and he left for Niles
Sunday morning.
He has frequently stated 10 response
to inquiries as to bis position on the
question indicated In your letter that
there is only one side to moral quest
ion and that is the right side. | know
there will be no question as to his posi-
tion on the Sheperd Bill.
Very truly yours,c
