changing variety of flowers, begin
ming with the arbutus and ending
with the fringed and bottle gentians
and the hardy asters, the last to sue
cumb under the frosts.
Unless those who pick wild flowers
are careful not to injure the roots,
flowers will become Increasingly
scarce each successive year. In a
proclamation last year, Governor Fer
.ris urged the people of the state TO
create a spirit for moderation in pick
ing wild flowers.
AS a home for birds this state OF.
fers a moderate climate and scores OF
feathered friends are here every year.
1t is the meeting place of birds from
he southern states and from the Hud-
SON Bay country From the south
comes the summer red bird, the scar
let tanager, the cardinal red bird, and,
in rare instances the hooking bird.
From the cold northern regions come
the Bohemian wax-wing, the Cana,
dian iay, the spruce-partridge ana
the snowy owl. On the little prairies
are still found pinnated grouse, or
prairie chicken, while the great woods
are the haunts of many varieties OF
warblers. which spend most OF their
time i'm the tree tops. The lakes at
tract many kinds of aquatic birds.

INTERESTING NEWS
OF BELONG PEOPLE
MANY YEARS AGO
EDITOR NUDGE URGES THE
CITIZENS TO BUILD WALKS
IN VILLAGE

The following items are taken from
our files of May 81, 1880:
First impressions are likely to be
most lasting. and the first impression
of stranger as he lands at the depot
and wends his way to Main street is
anything but favorable. The shabbi-
ness apparent along the route must
have the effect to prejudice the trav-
eller against the village as a whole.
Comparatively little outlay would ma
terially modify the impression. Why
cannot our citizens "chip in" and con-
struct good broad sidewalk from the
corner of Main and Pearl streets to
the depot? Such a walk could be
built first north and east, or first east
and then north. The former route
would doubtless be preferable. The
property owners adjoining such walk
would doubtless donate freely. The
resident property owners might con-
struct walk adjoining their premis-
es and non-residents would certainly
see advantage in making something
of an outlay. Others would doubtless
contribute the balance necessary TO
put in good cross walks and to COM
plete the work in a creditable man
ner. Who will inaugurate the enter
prise?
Another thing would much improve
out town-the extension of Washing
ton street to Front street. This street
is one of the finest in the place, but
this break of only four rods greatly
mars the general outline.

This is the time of year when the
lower portion, of Michigan is covered
with wild flowers, and nature lovers
are sure to find the woods, marshes
and fields abloom with the various
colors. Yet many do not appreciate
this beautiful display by nature ev-
cry spring. In this state there are
2,243 species and varieties of plant
life In Europe SO varieties of trees
are found In Michigan there are 80.
This state has 200 species and varie-
ties Of shrubs, 100 of native grasses T;
$50 of sedges: % of rushes; and over
1000 species Of plants which include
some of the rarest and most beauti-
full flowers on this continent.
There is also an excellent oppor-
tunity TO study birds and the geo
logical formations.
Owing to the fact that the latent
heat in the great lakes modifies the
winters of this state, plants which
are natives of the country farther
south venture into the southern coun-
ties of the lower peninsula. In this
vicinity, therefors, are found such
southern native as the honey locust,
dogwood, June-berry, red-bud or
Judas tree and the paw-paw

autumn is covered with an ever

Talks on Thrift
You and Your Bank Account

When the banker accepts your ac-
count. and give you a pass book and
check book. he has the right TO ex-
pect certain things from you, as you
have the right legally and morally, TO
expect certain things from him.
In the first place, he has the right
TO expect a profit from your account.
Banking is an expensive business III
costs certain amount to handle eV-
ery check that passes through the
bank. and every account should con-
tribute a portion TO the expenses OF
the hank. however small. When your
banker asks you to keep a certain
balance. he is merely asking his right
10 a profit from your account. IL is
easily TO be seen that if you keep a
small balance. say ten dollars, and the
banker furnishes you with stationery,
does the necessary bookkeeping on he
account (for your benefit as well as
his). the earning power OF that ten
dollars. even if it were all invested at
6 per cent, would be insufficient to
COMPENSATE him for the cost attend
ING that account. Therefore be gen
erous and give him a chance to make
a profit; for as every sale OF merch-
andise should show profit, so every
bank account should at least pay It's
way. Give his as large balance as
YOU can possibly kept VIII help
YOU very much in his estimation, help
your, credit, and add to your self-re-
spect.
Second. Never overdraw. In ma
tional banks overdrafts are now Tor
hidden, but whether they were or not,
Won have no right to ask 1T. 1t hurts
your credit with the banker. 1t - a
forced loan without security, and is
a poor business practice.
Sometimes an overdraft rs ailoWeu
as a matter of accommodation, ana
sometimes in order that the credit OF
the drawer with the holder OF tne
check may not be impaired; but IL Is
bad prcctice, gets you In wrong an
over and should neither be asked nor
expected. 49,,
Third. Do not draw against "Un-
collected funds" BY uncollected
funds IS meant checks that have not
been collected. For instance, You
have a balance of 500, and deposit
hundred dollar check and draw your
check for $3.50, you have taken all the
original deposit and half OF the
amount represented by the check just
deposited. The banker must send
that check, let US say to New York.
and wait for advice that it is paid be-
fore knowing that it has been paid,
which may take three or four days.
You are asking him to pay out ms
money three days in advance OF It's
receipt, practice which good banks
frown upon and will not allow. Last
lv. draw your checks properly, as out
lined i'm the next talk, and have your
pass book, balanced once a month.
Doing these things consistently, your
banker will be good friend and you
will be a good customer, in favor with
one who can do you many favors.--
