PENCADER FARMERS
PASS RESOLUTIONS

At a largely attended meeting Of
the Northern Pencader Farmers Co
Operative Club held on Wednesday
evening, October 25th, Prof. A. M.
Pollard was present and gave very
interesting and instructive lecture on
poultry.
Incidentally Prof. Pollard mention
ed that on October 31st his connection
with Delaware College ceased.
After some discussion the following
resolution was unanimously passed by
those present:
Resolved, That the members of this
Club wish to express regret at the
resignation of Prof. A. NJ. Pollard,
extension instructor in Poultry Hus-
bandry and Superintendent of the Egg
laying competition from further con-
nection with Delaware College.
His work we believe, has been very
satisfactory and the results obtained
by farmers who have followed lis
suggestions have been very crafty
ing.
He is gentleman of pleasing per-
sonality and favorably impresses his
audience as man of thoroughly prac-
tical ideas. He has shown a willing
ness, even under conditions of great
personal inconvenience, to give advice
and assistance wherever asked.
1t is a matter of extreme regret to
the members of this Club that the
State is losing so valuable a man
from the head of the Poultry Depart
ment.
May we not take off our hats to
humbly ask Why?
1t seems to the average farmer that
Prof. Pollard is thoroughly salts
factory man for the position, but it
has been rumored that the average
farmer working 100 acres or there
about is, in the consideration Of the
Agricultural Department of Delaware
College, is a small man, one whose
opinions are of small moment.
Be it further Resolved, That the
Secretary Of this Club send copies Of
this resolution to the Press for pub

We do not propose to tolerate any improper
interference with American commerce, with
American mails or with legitimate commercial
intercourse. We do not propose to tolerate that
any American who is exercising only American
rights shall be put on any blacklist by any
foreign nation. We propose to protect Ameri-
can lives, American property and American
trade, according to Our just rights under interna-
tional law.
And say in Philadelphia what said in Mil
waukee, that we have no ntrigues, no unstated
purposes, secret understandings. We stand
for the interests of the United States and its in
terests alone, four-square to the world first

FOR PROBATE JUDGE.

At least once in each generation the
title to all property IN the county passes
through the Probate court. Recognizing
this fact and the Importance to the neo.
pie of experience and efficiency in the
work of this court, it has been the cus.
tom in many counties to elect the Pro-
bate Judge for several terms In Van
Buren, county for more than so years II
has been the unbroken rule to elect the
Judge OF Probate for at least two terms.
Not wishing to be an exception to this
rule and believing that experience has
qualified me to render to the people
much better service during second

Representative Peterman of

really big men of Michigan, has
been endorsed by the board of
supervisors OF his county for

nothing doing, we are all going

the benefit he has derived from the new
remedy, Tanlac:
"Aithough have had catarrh for years
and seemed to be unable to get rid OF it,
| found that, after taking one bottle of

HISTORY WILL REPEAT ITSELF.

THE announcement that At
torney General Grant Fellows
will be a candidate for Judge of
the supreme court to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of
Judge McAlvay, will be met
with favor throughout the state.
Judge Mcdonald of Grand
Rapids, and Judge Mayne of
Charlevoix have also announced
their candidacy. Each will nm
doubtedly have a strong follow
ing in their respective localities.
But Grant Fellows has made one
of the most efficient attorney
generals the state ever had. He
is widely known and popular.
The last two members Of the su-
preme bench have been elevated
to that position from the attorney
generals office, and it is pretty
safe bet that history will repeat
itself ia this instance

OBITUARY
ELTON A. ROGERS.

Elton A. Rogers was born in Ann Ar
Dor and died in Traverse City January
IA, 1916, after an illness of almost two
years, being AZ years OF age. a victim
of long siege of typhoid fever in his
early youth. Mr.. Rogers never enjoyed
robust health and to that illness is
ascribed the malady which finally
claimed him. Besides his widow, a
sister, Mrs. Dwight Barker, and a
brother, Roscoe w. Broughton, of this
place, survive, both of whom attended
the funeral, which was held at his late
residence in Cadillac Monday after
noon.
Mr.. Rogers possessed a wide ac-
quaintance throughout this county,
gained through his 10 years associa-
ton with his brother in the dry goods
business in this place, and will long
be remembered for his popularity and
activity in the business and social life
of this part of the state. The virtue
Of charity found its best expression il
his life and, aside from his association
with many public movements of this
nature, he found the greatest pleasure
in those which were known only to
himself. After leaving Paw Paw he
became identified with one Of the lead
ing and most progressive dry goods
firms of Northern Michigan and was
credited with being one of the bcst
informed men in his line of business
in the state. He continued to keep in
touch with his old friends in Paw Paw
and through the many years Of his alb
sence they received frequent remind
ers of his enduring friendship.
The deceased was made a Mason in
Paw Paw lodge No. %, and brother
Masons of Cadillac carried the re
mains to their last resting place.

THE COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM

1T is about time for the advo-
Gates Of the county system of
building roads to get busy in
Van Buren county. Experience
in other counties has demon
strated that this is the only sys-
TEN for efficient and economical
road building. Nevertheless the
proposition will have strong op-
position this time, as it had be-
fore. 1t will need a systematic
and energetic campaign of educa
ton to carry it. 1t should carry,
and will eventually. Why not
now.

tinguish each character which Mr..
Ginn portrays.
Best Of all, Booth Harrington, one of
the authors of "The Man From
Home" has heard Mr.. CHM give the
Interpretation Of his play and express
es his delight in letter to Mr.. CHM,
a fac-simile Of which is given on two
pages Of this circular.
On more than 100 Redpath Chautau-
quas last season. the tour beginning in
Mississippi and extending on up into
Illinois, Mr.. Ginn gave his rendition
Of 1.-THE Man From Home" and it was
conceded to be leading feature Of
the program, and again the past sum-
mer he appeared on 11S Chautauquas.
On June 6, 1914, a communication to
the Redpath Bureau from Winona.
Miss, signed by five people, read in
part as follows: "Our people were de-
lighted with Mr.. Wells Watson CHM.
The Man From Home was one Of the
most attractive entertainments of our
Chautauqua. and we wish it could be
repeated here. Competent judges pro-
nOunced it one of the best readings
that they had ever heard"
During the winter Lyceum seasons
the same universal praise has followed
each appearance.

ELIMINATE THE POLITICS


THE True Northerner has for a
amber of years been firmly con-
need, that for the best interest
everybody concerned, politics
lould be eliminated from the
lministration of village affairs.
his is not a new theory with us,
,r we have advocated in years
one by, and now, on the eve OF
mother village election, we again
enture the suggestion, and
rge it for the serious consider
zion of the electors of the viii
nge.
N From our point of view, there
fTe no serious objections to the
Wlan. but on the other hand there
IRE many points to commend 1t.
n " hat does it matter in village
Nfairs, whether the officials are
democrats or republicans?
n What we should be the most
Interested in, is a business ad-
<ninistratiou. The selection of
nen, without regard to their
political aftiliation, who are best
tilted for the administration Of
public affairs. The Office Of vii
,age president or member OF
of the village council is, at the
best. a thankless job There is
no remuneration and mighty lit
tie honor, to say nothing of the |
Kicks and criticisms. There are
doubtless many men OF good
business ability, who are suf-
ieen+ly interested in village af'
airs to accept an Office and give
he villa ge the benefit of their
and ability, were 1t
lot for the necessity Of a polltl-
,al campaign and the humiliating
of defeat at the polls.
The True NOrtherner casts no
on the present or past
administrations. The officers are
Iii business men, who have Civ
IN freely Of their time for the
benefit of the village. But would
t not be good business judg
nent to call a general citizens
caucus, Let every body attend,
and there select without regard
TO what political party they be-
long, the very best available
men of the village, whether it be
the present officials or others,
for the various village offices.
Let the contests, if there be any,
be decided in the caucus, and let
there be but one ticket nominal
ed. Wouldn't it be better than
the strife and bitterness that
have characterized the village
elections in the past? Wouldn't
it be conducive to a more har
and cooperative feel
ing among the citizens? Would
it not insure a better and more
effective administration? Would |
it not be good business policy |
for Paw Paw?
