PEOPLE YOU
OUGHT TO KNOW

There are many people in this town
you ought to know, for your own sake
Some of them you may not know, but
you should.
You should know the banker He is
the one who supplies you with money
when you need it, and cares for your
money when you have it, No town
can conduct modern business without
him.
You should know each merchant
They have the goods you want, and
if you know each one personally you
also know something of the wares they
SELL This enables you to buy judicious-
ly and saves you many lost penny.
You should know the mechanic.
Every time an Improvement is made
you must call him in. If you know
them all you likewise know the one
who is most likely to give you the best
service.
You should know the school teacher.
He is responsible to a great degree for
the moulding of the character of your
children, for the lessons they learn
while under his care are not forgotten
even unto the brink of the grave.
Know him, and help him.
You should know the farmer. He
holds the world in the hollow of his
hand. To him we look for the produc-
ton of the sustenance of life, and with
out him we could not live.
You should know the minister. He
is interested in you, though you may
give little thought to him. He does
rot supply you with the bread you eat,
or the clothes you wear, but he does
beckon you along the road to a better
life beyond Know him, and hear him,
and heed him.
And, brother, you should know the
sheriff. When the devil gets under
your hide the sheriff is a good man to
know. If you are inclined to kick up
little dust your knowledge of him
may cause you to pause before you
kick. Yes, brother, know the sheriff,
for while you are good citizen he is
your friend, and when you cease to be
good he puts you where you can be
nothing but good.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

What are you doing for this town?
What are you doing to justify your
citizenship in this town?
You can not sit down, criticise, let
others do the work that makes a town
or community, and still call yourself a
good citizen.
The good citizen never thinks only OF
self. He must necessarily think OF
self or he would not survive, but good
citizenship requires more than that
much more.
1t requires that you keep in mind
that there are others who have rights
and are entitled to have those rights re-
spected by others-by you. On the
same basis you are entitled to have
your rights equally respected by them.
That is good citizenship-partially.
In addition, the good citizens remem-
bers that his town is entitled to his best
efforts in its behalf, to the end that the
interests of the community may be ad-
vanced by all legitimate means.
This means, too, that in advancing
the interests you are advancing your
own, which is the ultimate aim of the
human race.
What, then, are you doing to consti-
tute yourself good citizen?

SHOT AT RANDOM

If you can't speak well OF this town,
at least don't speak at all.
Latest reports from the European
front contain the same old stuff served
up under a new name.
Carranza will and he won't and he
won't and he will, and darned if even
CarranZa knows what he will do.
The fellow who thinks he knows it
all usually knows less than the one
who admits that he knows nothing.
Silence is golden, especially when
your alibi is not satisfactory to your
wife.
II one-half the mean things that are
said of candidates were true we would
be better off with no officers at all.
A Boston scientists predicts rs cent
eggs. Don't like 'em anyway. &.
Yes, it's fact that many great man
never breaks into history. We know
from experience.
There's at least one satisfaction in
the European war. All sides are VIC
torious.
The latest recruit in the sea of blood
is the University of Chicago. 1t has

way you can do it. You will be max

your family for fall and winter pur-

There is always some merchant in town
who will do little better by you than
anybody else. When a merchant is
able TO do this he is keen to advertise
and let the people know just what he
can and will do. Your own cue is to
read carefully each week the adver-
tisements in this paper. They tell the
story and the name of the merchant
who makes the story. Read the ads.

Farmers Get
Big Profits
Phenomenal Prices for all Farm
Crops.

Washington, Nov Tn this high
cost-of-living era, about the only per-
son who can sit back and chuekle loud
is the man on the farm. The extent to
which the producer may find genuine
satisfaction is the steadily advancing
price of table necessaries is clearly
shown by the latest official complica-
tons of the government.
The profits reaped by producers of
the United States in the last twelve
months have been more Phenomenal
than were ever recorded in a similar
period. Thousands OF correspondents
of the bureau of crop estimates SUBJ
mitted reports, and on these are based
the high averages announced.
The index figure of prices Oct /, for
principal crops was about 27.6 per cent
higher than year ago. The level of
prices for the principal crops in Sep
tember alone increased about 1.3 per
cent.
Meat animals-hogs. cattle, sheep
and chickens-brought the producers
on Sept. 10 prices that were 23.7 per
cent more than they received year
ago. The index figure of prices for
such products was declared to be higher
by 22.5 per cent than the average for
the past six years. In the thirty days
between Aug. Is and Sept. Is the prices

The price of hogs Sept. Is was un-

Beans, Corn and
Potatoes Short
Production Figures for the Year
OF 1916.

Lansing, Nov. 6.-Fully twenty-five
per cent of the bean, corn and potato
crops were not harvested this year on
account of total or partial failure of the
crop, says the crop report of the state
department today. Coupled with this
bit of discouraging information the state
report adds that a considerable per.
centage of the corn and potato crop
cannot be marketed, being too soft and
too small.
For the ten years, 1906-19l5, the
average yield in bushels of corn per
acre was 80 per cent with an average
crop of $685., 455 bushels. This year
the yield per acre is only 21.05 and a
crop of 81, 1873, 1873 bushels. Potatoes
which in years have averaged sc bush
els per acre are reduced to 1922 this
year and the yield from 2S,776,634 to
%, 266, ,664 bushels.
Beans are even worse, with an aver
age yield Of GIL bushels this year per
acre as compared with II bushels for
the ten year average, the crop this year
is estimated at only 2,1Sl, 1862 bushels,
while the ten year average has been
1866, ,692. The report gives the esti-
mated yield of wheat in the state as &c.
Is bushels per acre with a harvested
crop of 12,404, 40 bushels. 1t is esti-
mated that 3,500,O00 of this harvest was
marketed during the past three months.
Oats yielded 30.57 bushels per acre
with an estimated harvest yield of So,
673, 474 bushels. Other crop yields are;
Barley, 1868, 1884 bushels; rye, 6,OO9, ,952;

STATE GOES DRY

While it was freely predicted that
Michigan would 90 DRY" and "Home
Rule" would be defeated, no one was
prepared for the landslide in favor of
statewide prohibition. In supposed
to-be wet centers like Wayne and Kent
counties, the voters left no doubts in
the minds of anyone their desire for
the Punishment of the saloon, and
practically every county in the state
declared itself emphatically in favor of
statewide prohibition and hit "Home
Rule" a solar pleXus blow.
