Live stock, especially horses, will
be one of the noticeable features at
the West Michigan State Fair, Sep
TENDER 1922, according to George
King, superintendent of that division.
"The automobile has not replaced
the horse, by any manner of means,
said Mr.. King. Good horse-hesh is
commanding higher prices each year,
and the raising of thoroughbred
stock has brought millions of dollars
to the American farmer during the
last twelve months"
''In planning our premium list for
the fair this year officials have added
a large sum to the cash prizes offered,
and from present Indications we will
have the greatest display of horses
that Michigan folks have ever witt
messed"
Nearly $4,000 in cash prizes, ex-
elusive of special prizes, and prem
iums, gold and silver trophies are list
ed for the following classes: Perch
erons, Belgians, Clydesdale and Eng
lish horses, mules, standard breeds,
non-standard, shetlands, general pur-
pose horses, roadsters, light harness
and saddle horses, matched teams,
equestrians, saddle horses, 3 to 5
gated.
In the Percheron class an open-to-
all and a closed event for Michigan
owned horses are provided, while the
Percheron Society of America sup
plies three permiums each on fourteen
different types of this breed.
The B, S. Hanchett Draft Horse
Trophy will again come up for COM
petition, being open to "-ners of
draft horses used for farm or city
purposes. In addition to the trophy
offered Mr.. Hanchett, the fair asso-
citation offers $500 to be divided
among drivers of teams entered.
The premium list has been arrang-
ed to especially appeal to individual
owners and farmers of Michigan, the
money being divided four ways in
several of the classes, so that all ex-
hibitors stand a chance of being re-
paid for their efforts.

Now it came to pass in my journey
ings, that l came to a country called
California, and every man who met
me Greeted me with a Smile and ask
ed:
How dost thou like our Climate?
And not one among them all waited
for my Answer, but proceeded to tell
me that California had the most
Wonderful Climate in the World.
Now it fell on a day that the
Weather was Hot, and the Thermo-
meter stodo at 103 degrees in the
shade, and on that day / met Cali
fornian, and he looked me in the eye
as calmly as though it were only 20,
and asked me:
In terrible weather like this, art
thou not glad that thou canst be in
California, with its Wonderful CHM
ate, and not burning up with heat in
the Hot, Wicked, Windy City of Chi
cago?
And was too amazed for Speech,
but that did not matter. He did all
the Talking Necessary telling me
again of the Wonderful Climate Of
California.
And all the while / was thinking,
and there rose before my mind Wis
ion Of Chicago, with place called
Lincoln Park, where the cool Lake
Winds play, and where one may sit
with his coat off, and drink soda wat

had spoken Foolishly.

On every hand there is evidence
that one of our greatest soil needs is
lime, and with such abundant mari
deposits almost at our doors, it seems
pity to be sending our money away
and getting as has happened an in
ferior article. The getting of mari
is simply labor proposition, and can
be handled at time when other work
is slack and much land can be lined
that could never have the application
if one had to put up cash for carload
of lime stone.
AS suggestion just now we would
say to anyone expecting to use lime
this fall or next spring, that in many
cases it would be an advantage to go
with team and scraper and get 1T
out on to dry ground now, and haul it
later on, days work with team, or
better with two or three men and
their teams cooperating, would put
enough out to lime good many acres
and it could be hauled later at your
convenience. This would make it pos
sible to get mari from many places
where it will be wet later on.
At this time many are buying the
fertilizer to be used in connection with
their fall seeding. There is perhaps
no place in the farmers operations
where he needs to exercise more care
full thought than just here. There is
the error on the one hand of dismiss
ing the whole fertilizer question with
laugh, or denouncing it as a fake,
and the error on the other hand of
considering and using fertilizer as a
panacea for all the evils resulting
from years of soil robbery. Both of
these positions are wrong, because
based on false premises. What we
need to do is to recognize that certain
plant food elements are necessary,
and when lacking must be supplied,
and in this connection we are face to
face with the fact that at present war
prices about the only element we can
afford to buy to any extent is phos-
phorous, and that wherever this has
been used, either in form of acid phos-
phate or bone meal or similar prepar
ations, right here in our own county
there are many instances to show that
it has been good investment.

Textbook for Good Roads

There is at Washington textbook

to Chevy Chase, built by the plans
and under the direction of the Office of
public roads of the United States and
for the sole purpose Of informing the
public and the members of congress
interested in the improvement of the
public highways upon the methods and
cost of construction, types Of roads,
adaptability of materials and economy
of maintenance.
Thousands of people travel over
this road, which is built in many
sections of different types, every day,
and hundreds of practical road build
ers from all parts of the country have
inspected it from time to time and
have marveled at the excellence Of
the work
Manufacturers who have supplied
bitimihous materials for the treat
ment of the road have detached their
special experts for this service, and
the traffic over the road has demon
strated under carefully observed con-
ditions the relative value of the sew
eral types of road making up this
great highway.
The Chevy Chase road is expert
mental. 1t consists of different types
of Observation-Disclosures macadam
laid by the penetration method, sur
face treatments of waterbound maca-
dam, asphaltic surfaces on concrete
foundations, bitiminous surfaced con-

 FEN BRUNDIDGE.

Searcy, Feb. 1.-Hon. Earle w. Hodges, candidate for governor, spoke to a crowded house here yesterday afternoon at the Grand theatre. lie was introduced by Hon. $. Erundldge, former congressman of this district, and man well known throughout the state. On the platform with MT. Hodges were Circuit Judge J. M. Jackson, John S. Yarnell, chairman ot the county central committee, J. F, Watkins, secretary of the committee, Judge R. w. Crisp, Hon, John U. DeBois and MT. Brundidge. In intro ducing Mr. Hodges, MT. Brundidge made a complimentary speech Tn ms characteristic manner.
 Mr. Hodges stated that he had crit icised the platform of Dr. C. h. Brough, particularly that part of It which sought to raise the rate of tax ation. He criticised Dr. Brough for his failure to pay poll tax during his first six years of residence ln Ar kansas, and said that Dr. Brough had started paying poll tax only after he had concluded to run for governor. He criticised him for failure to men, tion the Confederate veterans Tn the first speeches of his campaign.
 Referring to the charge that he was backed by machine, MT. Hodges explained that he was not responsible for the fact that Governor Hays was supporting him TOT governor, and that he had not sought the support of Governor Hays with half the vigol that pr. Brough sought it. MT Hodges charged that if there were 8 machine at work now in the the poll tics of Arkansas it must be at work in behalf of pr. Brough, since the leaders of the campaign which placed Joe T. Robinson in the United tSates senate against the will of the people were all for pr. Brough.
 It was estimated that the crowC which heard Mr. Hodges numbered between 300 and 700, the capacity o- 1 the theatre. Court was in sessior here, and Judge Jackson adjourned court until after MT. Hodges had con cluded his address.
