Arlene Gee, the five-year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Gee-who
reside near the West Side School house

playing around the kitchen stove Thurs
day morning about seven o'clock.
Mrs. Gee had been burning some
papers, and left The child in the room
while she went out into the yard to feed
some chickens. The little girl evident
ly tried to initiate her mother and the
burning paper ignited her clothing.
The upper part of her back and right
side was badly burned before her
mother could extinguish the blaze. DR..

administered all the aid he could to
relieve the little sufferer 1t will

extent of the injuries are really known.

Bailey of Gaylord will be the state
speaker Among other things Mr..

CharlevOix County
Needs Our
Undivided Loyalty

Loyalty to ones country is natural
inborne duty. That should need no
defence. We have three cities in our
county, each one governed by mayor
and councilmen, who all have civic
pride, civic duty and civic patriotism.
At least, unless such be the case, they
should not represent the people. The
man who looks upon our cities and
county as simply place in which to
live and to make money is not worthy
the name of citizen, unles: he is will
ing to spend portion of his gains for
the betterment and enrichment Of the
county. Every man in our county
should not only be real citizen, but
he, too, should be an asset. The future
reputation of our county depends en-
tirely upon the loyalty and the course
which we adopt, as citizens, in our
business towards each other and to
tourists.
We want Charlevoix County spirit
We grow good fruit. Stamp the boxes
the fruit is packed in "Grown in Char
levoix County," and then see that every
apple is worthy the wrapper clearing
the same stamp
We have great possibilities in Char
levoix County. New bills are to be
introduced into the legislature this
winter in order to distribute the Feder-
al Roads money, Under this plan, the
federal government will pay fifty per
cent, the state fifteen per cent and the
county thirty-five per cent. Of the total
cost of construction, which may be
called National value. This means the
West Michigan Pike from Miami, Fla,
to Mackinaw City, and il the state pays
the sum Of s3,50O.00 additional on this
road, which il is safe to say il will, just
see what a very small sum it would
cost our county to build this sixteen
foot concrete road. II can be built Q
good deal cheaper-no, mean IT viii

WILL MONEY TAKE ROOT?

II you want to see how money will
take root and grow just go to the
Peoples State Savings Bank and plant
dime in the new Christmas B mixing
Club they just opened to accommodate
the people OF this community who want
to start to save money,
This dime will grow in fifty weeks
before Christmas next year when you
will feel the need of ready money--into
$127.5O.
You only need to "water" the dime
you plant regularly every week for
forty-nine more weeks. The way you
do this is to put in twenty cents the
second week, thirty cents the third
week and SO on, increasing your de-
posit only dime each week.
The little Christmas Banking Club
book which the Peoples State Savings
Bank will give you or any OF your
friends free will show you when to
make your weekly deposit and how
much you put in in order to get, in fifty
weeks, the $127.50.
Whole families are joining this
Christmas Banking Club. It's the best
thing that ever struck town to show us
all how to really save money and get
ahead. II gets us into the banking habit
the best habit anyone can learn.
Money planted in the bank will surely
grow II we let stay in the bank what we
put in, and keep on adding to it.
Every little bit added to what you've
got makes little bit more"
First thing you know, IL you only
START to banking your money, you
will become rich.
You can "plant" only nickle in the

The Potato Crop a Mortgage
Litter in Western Michigan.

The average debt Of mortgaged farms
in the entire state, increased in the 20
years, from 1890 to 1900, from $3.50 to
81, 1,l07, or A.4 per cent, while the aver
age value Of such farms rose from e..
TAB to 1854, or 80 per cent. Thus the
owners equity increased from q, 1853 to
s2,547, or 37.l per cent Al result Of
the greater relative increase In farm
value than in farm debt, the mortgage
indebtedness, which was 32.< per cent
of the value Of the mortgaged farms In
1890, had decreased to sos per cent Of
that value In 1910.
The returns from the potato crop this
season in many Western Michigan
counties, has enabled large number
Of farmers to pay off and reduce their
mortgages, 30 that, according to q re-
cent estimate, the mortgage indebted
ness has been further decreased about
10 per cent, making the mortgage In
debtedness on these farms at the pres
ent time only 20 per cent Of the value
of the mortgaged farms, which is q
splendid showing.

Christmas Banking Club and in fifty
weeks have $6375. You must put in
ten cents the second week, fifteen cents
the third week and so on, increasing
the amount you deposit only a nickle
each week. The biggest sum you put
in ut one time is only $3.50. You will
hardly believe this until you look into
the little Christmas Banking Club book
which the Peoples State Savings Bank
will furnish you and every member of
your family free.
The "kiddies" can join the one-cent
or the two-cent club and in fifty weeks
have S12. rs or $25.50.
Every boy and girl and man and wo-
man in our community should join this
Christmas Banking Club. It's good
thing. Thanks to the Peoples State
Savings Bank.

A ROSY FUTURE
FOR GOOD ROADS

Van Pelt sends us the following clip
ping from the Chicago Tribune, show
ing plainly that his plan for Charlevoix
County, using our own share of the
$75, 600, 900, appropriated by Congress
for building good roads throughout the
United States, is the right and proper
thing to do, instead of going ahead and
spending it without utilizing our part
of the appropriation.
"A rosy future for good roads
throughout the United States as a re-
suit of the passage of the federal land
aid bill was predicted at Hotel Sherman
yesterday by speakers who addressed
the third annual session of the north
western road congress. The new law
brings the building of state trunk lines
to point that meets the wants of state
traffic, said F. A. Cannon, executive
secretary of the Wisconsin Good Roads
Assn. Its whole spirit will result in
each state planning a comprehensive
highway system, built and operated
under state supervision and construct
ed with federal funds
Joe L. Long, of Moline, ILL.,, secretary
OF the congress, told his hearers the
hardest job he knew of was convincing
city dwellers that good roads are as
vital matter to them as to the farmers.
Automobiles want good roads, Of
course, he said, but that phase of the
question is the merest trifle. AS a
matter Of fact, the Chicago laboring
man is the highest taxed person in
Illinois, simply because bad roads make
his food products cost more.
Eight times more tonnage is suppos-
ed to 90 over our roads than over the
railroads. When bad roads handicap
the farmer and make him pay railroad
fare, prices 60 up.
Much of the interest at the evening
session centered in an illustrated de-
scription of the work of manufacture
ing concern which makes specially OF
good roads trucks and their operation
in road building
Surely, some one in Charlevoix
County ought to be sufficiently inter-
ested in saving themselves some money
and, especially so, when we all know
that our present system is simply a
very foolish expenditure of money and
the unkeep Of these roads means a lot
of money out OF every taxpayers pock-
ct.
Why not now get together and build
a good cement road on our West Michi-
gan Pike and Dixie Highway from
Antrim County to Emmett County-the
entire lengthp This is the time to do it
before the portion assigned the State OF
Michigan by the United States Govern
ment is all gone. Somebody is surely
going to get it and it is up to you work.
ers to get it now.

cost the county good deal less for this
road than a gravel road has cost and it
will draw thousands of people to our
beautiful county. Just think of it. A
good concrete road from the north side
of Antrim county to the south side of

POTATO GROWERS
SHOULD ORGANIZE
JScheme to Improve the In
duStry in CharlevOix County.

CharlevoiX county has the right soil
and climatic conditions for successful
potato production. This section of
Michigan is also better located with
respect to markets than the famous
potato growing regions of Maine and
Colorado. With our good soil, favorable
climate, and easy marketing advantages
there is needed only united effort on
the part of the growers to put Charlie
voix county in the same class with
Aroostook county, Maine, known the
world over for its potato crop. An
organization of growers would also
pave the way for marketing company
or produce exchange, and thus with
the production and marketing Of the
crop handled according to the best
known methods, the growers of our
county would prosper whether the crop
was big or small or the price high or
low.
The following outline is the form of
constitution for growers associations
which has been worked out by the
secretary of the state potato growers
association. The six objects of the as
sociation as set forth in the constitu-
tion are well worth careful considera-
tion. This proposition ought to appeal
strongly to all potato growers. To make
sure, however, that there is sufficient
interest to warrant calling a meeting
for the purpose of organization and the
election of officers, every person who
will agree to take part in such move
lent is requested to send post card
before Jan. to II. l.. Barnum, Ironton,
who will set date and place of meet
ing, also arrange to have the secretary
of the state association present to assist
in the organization.
