viii Raise Sugar Beets


st. Johns.-The Owosso Sugar Co.,
has leased of S. j. Osgood the 16
acres of land lying east of the St.
Johns Portable Building Co., factory,
and will raise sugar beet seed there
on. The lease was made through the
local real estate dealer, l.. ID. Parr.
The rental price is $15 per acre.
Previous to the beginning of the
war, sugar beet seed was imported
from Germany and cost about .15
cents per pound. When importation
ceased the price went up to soc and
even as high as a dollar pound. Last
year several acres of beets were
planted for the purpose of obtaining
seed here. The yield will be from
700 to 1900 pounds of seed to the
acre, and great deal of help will be
needed to cultivate and care for the
crop. The beets are planted in the
spring and the seed is harvested
from the tops in August, the tops be-
ing cut by hand and threshed as 9TH
err crops.

Hastings.-More than $2o,000 IN
currency gold and silver was stolen
from the Farmers State banks of
Middleville and Alto early Saturday
morning by what the authorities be-
lieve was single gang of safe blow
ers divided into two crews doing their
work almost simultaneously. The
first of five explosions which opened
the safe in the Vaudeville bank took
place shortly after two a. m. and it
was exactly al when the safe in the
Alto bank was almost blown to pieces.
Something more than $4,000 was
taken from the Vaudeville bank and
the Alto haul yielded something more
than $11 900, all there was in the safe.
At the farmers bank sack of gold
containing $4,000 became mixed up
in the blankets used to deaden the
force of the explosion and was over
looked by the robbers. Both banks
are fully insured, the policies even
covering the loss on the safes.

THE CHALLENGE OF THE
DOLLARS.

Quoting a Berlin dispatch which
boosted of the success Of new Ger
man war loan, Secretary McAdoo in
his Atlantic City speech said: Let
us meet that challenge by a subscrip-
ton to our second Liberty Loan on
Oct. q, nine days after the close of
the German loan. which will make
clear to the German despotism that
America marshals not alone her sol
diers and her navy. but her financial
resources as well. and that she is de-
termined TO use them all without stint
to vindicate American rights"

FEW WOMEN OF
TODAY WORK BLINDLY

Used to be that daughters adhered
strictly to mothers methods of home
management They used certain bak-
ing recipes simply because they were
favorities of a former generation
Times have changed radically Col
leges and clubs have been established
for the express purpose of determin-
ing just which baking methods and
baking materials are best. Many do
nestle scientists devote their lives to
research and experimental work They
are constantly testing food products
They conduct exhaustive comparative
tests. They accept and endorse only
such methods and baking processes
as have been found superior through
scientific measurement of merit. These
decisions are given wide publicity
The result is that the housewife OF
today produces more wholesome and
perfect bakings at less cost than ever
before
In investigating the decisions
handed down by pure food specialists
and eminent domestic scientists, it is
plainly evident that the overwhelm-
ing majority employ and advocate the
use of Calumet Baking Powder. Calu-
met has won this popularity among
experts on merit alone They show no

Calumet has been granted that APP

cause it is absolutely sure in results

perfectly pure, leaves no trace of
harmful residue in foods. Then-be-
cause it produces a better grade of
bakings-cakes, biscuits, etc, that are
remarkably light, tender and tasty.
Finally-because of Calumet's surety
and moderate price it is the most
economical of all baking powders in
cost and use.
This verdict-this hearty endorse
ment coming from experts who have
proved Calumet's excellence beyond

YES! LIFT a CORN
. OFF WITHOUT PAIN !
Cincinnati authority tells how 70 dry
up corn or callus so 1t lifts
OFF with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens SO it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
II your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.

THE QUESTION OF LABOR
Probably the Most Serious Handicap
to Put in Maximum Crops This
Year 10 the Scarcity Of
Earr 4 ahor
Farm Labor.

/ d, ! = 80
National Crop improvement SsryIcs1
Many good crop will be ruined be-
cause farmers cannot get labor at the
right time. There are two times OF
the year when more labor is absolute
ly necessary-at seed time and at har-
vest. While our farmers need men at
other times of the year. these are the
two crucial periods.
AS it is to the interest of every per-
son living In this county to produce a
bumper crop. this year, we must do all
we can to help the farmer and per-
haps the most important thing we can
do, is to find him right help OF the
right class.
There are three classes Of farm help
-(D The regular farm hands who are
going to- be rather scarce. (2) There
are, however, a great many men who
work in factories, in wholesale houses,
drive teams and other occupations
who could possibly be spared during
the rush seasons. 1t is the duty of the
commercial clubs and manufacturers
to make list Of these men and offer
them for detached service when ur-
gently needed There is a third class
OF labor which is very efficient and
that is men Of affairs WHO have been
raised on farms who will volunteer
to help the farmers out during the
rush. This is the greatest work our
business men can accept to show their
patriotism at this time.

nature of the exercises is left to the

that business be closed for portion

formed to include all registered men

members Of G. A. R.; city officials
and citizens, and that a march be
made to some place for a patriotic

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Ever since the overthrow of the
Russian monarchy there have been
two factions, each jealous Of the
other, which has interfered with their
fighting capacity. The two factions
have now agreed that neither one
wants to make . separate peace with
Germany, SO they have agreed upon a
coalition government, composed Of
both factions and have decided to
unite their forces in prosecuting the
war. Russia will have many perplex-
ing questions to settle before she gets
a permanent government established.
but-the people are wise to bury their
local differences until the common
enemy is subdued.

The Liberty Loan" by which the
government wishes to raise a war
loan of five billions of dollars, is now
being offered for sale all over the
country. In regard to this loan the
publicity department says: It is not
necessary to advertise these bonds to
sell the whole issue, but it is earnest
ly desired that this loan shall be a
popular loan, loan by and from the
people at large of the United States.
To that end bonds are to be issued
of small denominations, and subscrib-
ers of small amounts are to be sup
piled before the subscribers of large
sums are granted their full subscrip-
tion. It is called the Liberty Loan
because it is to be loaned from free
people to be used in freeing the
world. 1t is the loan Of a liberty
loving people to be devoted to the es-
tablishment Of liberty in Europe and
on the high sea.
There are two kinds of bonds.
Bearer Bonds are to be issued in deA
nominations of $50, 500, $500, and
ST., 600. They are payable to bearer
and have interest coupons attached,
which when due can be cashed at any
bank the same as United States Trea-
'sury notes. Registered bonds are in
denominations ranging from 500 to
500, 900. Checks for the amount Of
interest due will be mailed out SEMI
annually to the holders. The bonds
run for thirty years, but the govern
ment reserves the right to pay them
fifteen years after date. All bonds
bear interest at the rate of 81 per
cent to be payable semi annually. If
during the continuance of the war,
the government shall issue other bonds
bearing higher rate of interest, the
holders Of the Liberty bonds may ex-
change them for bonds bearing the
higher rate Of interest. The bonds
are non-taxable and no federal tax
which war conditions may later make
necessary will affect them. The only
tax that they are liable for is the in
heritance tax which applies to all
property of whatever kind. The
application blanks for the bonds may
be obtained from any post office, any
federal reserve, national, state or pri-
vate bank or any express office.

The adventists have notified the war
department that their religion forbids
them to perform army military SER
vice. They say that, believing in
the principles upon which this govern
ment is founded, and acknowl ledging
that it should receive the support Of
its citizens, the Adventists are COM
pelled to decline all participation in
acts Of war and bloodshed as being in
consistent with the duties enjoined
upon US by our Divine Master toward
our enemies and all mankind. = A
fitting reply to this pusilanimous
statement would be the summary
withdrawal of all rights and privi-
leges Of American citizenship from
such people. They should be remind
ed that those principles in which they
profess to believe, were secured
through "war and bloodshed'' and if
necessary must be preserved BY the
same agency, that they must certain
ly realize that it is wrong for them to
enjoy the fruits of an institution that
their faith condemns. and to relieve
them Of hypocricy all protection Of
their lives and property all privileges
Of free schools and free churches, and
other rights and privileges which they
have enjoyed in consequence of the
sinful efforts Of their fellow citizens,
will be withdrawn, and they may
hereafter look for those favors to

fess to believe, has enjoined them to
