CONCERNING MIR. WABER.

l.. II. Waber of Pine Grove town
ship, chairman of the County Road
Commissioners, is a candidate for
election to the six year term.
Mr.. Waber is the only one of the
present commissioners who is a can
didate for election to the board, and
the only democratic nominee for any
Of the three places, as that party
made no nominations for the two and
four year terms.
Mr.. Waber's opponent is Mr.. Dill
enbeck Of Lawrence, who is well
spoken of as a citizen and road build
er, having as highway commissioner
supervised the building of much of the
roads that have given Lawrence town
ship one of the best road systems in
the county.
Mr.. Waber's claims to election do
not rest, we take it, upon his belief
in the tariff ideas of the democracy,
nor upon support of the Wilson adj
ministration's policy in Mexico, ETC.,
but upon his qualifications as a road
builder.
On this point, he certainly can offer
a record and testimonials that stamp
him as fully qualified for the office he
is seeking. He built roads as highway
commissioner in his township, and
then was called to Kalamazoo as
superintendent under the county road
commission. When the board of
supervisors of Van Buren, county
selected the commissioners last spring
following the adoption of the system,
Mr.. Waber was the first one chosen,
and his colleagues selected him as
chairman of the commission.
What State Highway Commissioner
Rogers thinks of his work was told in
the letter from Mr.. Rogers published
in our last issue, and what the COM
missioners in Kalamazoo think will be
given later in our columns, as will
what his neighbors think of him in an
article taken from the Gobleville
News, paper edited by an ardent
republican.
We were told by Pine Grove re-
publican last week that Mr.. Waber
will get almost the solid vote in his
township, and nearly as strong an in
dorsement in the adjoining ones.
How well he judged the situation will
only be known when the votes are
counted, but we imagine he has good
basis for the prediction.
Some claim is made for Mr.. Waber
from the fact that he is the only
nominee of either party from the

BUSKIRK FOR LEGISLATURE.

Self preservation is the first law of
nature. If you were a lawyer, you
would vote to further the interests of
your own profession.
If you were farmer, your SYM
pathies would be with the farmer.
AS ninety per cent of the wealth of
Van Buren, county is vested in agri-
culture, directly or indirectly, and
only 100 of one per cent of the
population are lawyers, why is it that
the farmer has only been represented
in the legislature once in the last
twenty years, and the lawyer has had
two representatives. in the last ten
years.
1t is your fault Mr.. Farmer, and
next Tuesday you are going to again
choose between lawyer and farmer
Which will it be. Buskirk the far

When in December you go over to
the town treasurer to pay the penalty
for having scrimped and saved to lay

Just ask yourself if you have voted
wisely.
Your support will be appreciated at
the polls next Tuesday.

WABER SHOULD BE ELECTED.


Some reasons why Louis H. Waber
of Pine Grove should be elected Coun-
ty Road Commissioner in Van Buren,
County at the coming election.
First. because he has had more
practical experience in County Road
building and has gained more practi-
cal and technical knowledge in build
ing Roads through heavy cuts and
grades than any other candidate in
this County, has at this time.
Second He has the ability and
foresight to build roads on a large
scale and economically. He has a
strong endorsement from the State
Highway Department, for this kind
Of work, also from the Kalamazoo
County Road Commissioner, where he
has been building State Award Roads
for several years.
Third: He is an enthusiast on
Good Roads and likes to build them.
1t has been his Study and Ambition.
Fourth His experience would be a
valuable asset to the County in pur-
chasing Road machinery. His know
ledge along this line might save the
County many hundreds of dollars,
that an inexperienced commissioner
might expend for unnecessary and
useless machinery.
Fifth: His location would make
the commissioners fairly well dis
tributed about the county and would
bring to the System a more united
enthusiastic Support, which if lack
ing would naturally bring the System
into disrepute and void.
Sixth His election would bar the
charge that the commissioners were
a partisan commission, which may
properly be so called, should his OPP
ponent be elected Should Mr.. Waber
be elected the commissioners would
not be called sectional or political.
They would fairly represent the two
major parties and all sections of the
county as much as possible to do so
at this time. One and all could work
in harmony, feeling assured that they
would be fairly dealt with and would
bring to the System that support that
is going to be absolutely necessary to
score success. After giving these
several reasons why we think Mr..
Waber should be elected, we believe
it proper to ask each voter to consider
and say by his vote, Should the Coun-
ty Road System be taken over and
made party asset, would it be the
right and proper thing to do for the
good of all concerned? Has the Coun-
ty Road System become so well estab-
lished, that in the effort it would be
safe to say, to practically one third
of the electors and tax payers of the
County, that because you don't vote
our ticket, You cannot have any voice
in saying where or how your money
should be expended? These are
things which each elector must decide
in his own good way. We believe
that success or failure for the County
Road System in this county depends
largely on how we settle these quest
ions at the coming election.
/ am not urging Mr.. Waber's elect
ion, simply because he happens to be
Democrat or that desire to defeat
his opponent, but because I believe
him to be the logical and in every way
the most available candidate at this
time.

Prohibition is good for Van Buren,
county, it is good for the state OF
Michigan;
If economy is virtue in private
life, and it is, then lets have a Budget
System, and more economy in public
affairs; and if taxation without re-

RIVAL DAY

In the Philippines the thirtieth of
December is t'RizaI Day. a legal holi-
day when the little brown men of
the far eastern islands 'hono.. the
memory of the patriot who has be-
come their greatest hero. 1t was just
twenty years ago today that DR.. Jose
Rial was executed by the Spanish
authorities of the islands, who had
condemned him to death as the lead
er of the rebellion. Rial was thirty
five at the time of his death. He
was the son of Tagal parents, who
destined him for the church, but at
school in Manila he was denied the
honors due him as the head of the
class, and his intellectual superiority
aroused the hatred of his Spanish
companions. He then abandoned the
church and studied medicine in Man
liza, Paris, Leipsic, Berlin and Heide1-
berg. His reputation as an oculist
was widespread, but he abandoned
the brilliant professional career that
opened before him to return to his
native islands and organize a revolu-
tionary society. During his residence
in Europe he had become free
thinker and an opponent of the
church, and he brought down. upon
him the wrath of the monastics by
disputing the legality of the church's
title to vast tracts of agricultural
land. In 1895 he was tried and con-
victed, and on December Goth he was
shot through the breast by detail of
native soldiers. Shortly before his
execution he was united in civil mar
rage to Miss Josephine Bracken, an
American girl.

ALMANACs.

The first written almanacs were
probably compiled by the Greeks Of
Alexandria between 100 and $50 A. D.
Calendars are much older, the ancient
Romans having proclaimed the first
of the month, and posted a notice of
it's occurrence in public place. The
first of the month thus came to be
called The Kalends, from II CALI or
II proclaim and thus the word "cal-
endar'' was derived. Probably, the
oldest calendar in existence was found
in the ruins of Pompeii. 1t was cut
upon suare block of marble, upon
each side of which three months are
registered, each headed by the proper
sign of the zodiac. The first almanac
printed in Europe covered the years
1475, 1894 and 1913, and was publish
ed at Buda, Hungary. The first
printed almanac in England was the
"Sheapheards Kalender," printed in
1897. In the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries almanacs became compare
lively common in Europe. The early
almanacs contained many prognosti-
cations regarding "the Dispocission of
the People and also of the Wether''-
to quote one of them, as also instruc-
ton in "Phisie and Surgerye," and in
formation about Unfortunate Times
to Bic and Sell, take Medicine, Sowe,
Plant and Journey, &s."

an appeal made at a meeting recently
held in this city at which the leading

of the meetings was to formulate for

bringing about greater cooperation
among the farmers and placing the
dairy business on "a more profitable
basis.
The results of today's discussion
will be laid before the annual meeting
