Potatoes

j. B. Rice Seed Co., of Cambridge
N. Y, has this to say about the Money
Maker Potato.
The Money Maker is long hand
some, well shaped white potato, and a
fine new sort that is taking the place of
the White Star, Burbank and similar
sorts. Money Maker has demonstrated
that under any and all conditions it Is
absolutely blight, drought and rot-proof;
and undoubtedly the heaviest yielding,
rankest growing white potato of our
time"
That seemed to me as being pretty
strong potato talk ard tO saGsfy my

them and paid quite fancy price for
them, but l got them alright and took
them out on the reservation" and
planted them, but unfortunately did
not plant them deep enough and got
the rows so close together that it was
impossible to run cultivator through
o'even hoe them, therefore they were
left to "shirk Tor themselves" in that
condition through one vi ..he worst
potato droughts this country ever
knew. But let me tell you that the
weeds on that little potato patch we're q
bowling success, so much so that l got
a little ashamed of them and started in
one day quite late in the fall to pull
them up and burn them, when / discov.

and found many more potatoes; then

Genesee Republican Banquet

We are informed by the committee
having the matter in charge that the
program for the Genesee county Re-
publican Banquet, to he held in the Ma
sonic Temple in Flint, on Wednesday
evening, March Ia, will in all probabil-
ity be the most notable in the history
of these affairs. Congressman Patrick
H. Kelley will be present and has in
formed the committee that he has Sc
cured promises from Senator Boran, of
Idaho, and Congressman Fess, of Ohio,
to make speeches during the evening.
They are possibly the most noted Re-
publican orators who have ever been
secured for banquet in this county
and rare treat is assured all who at
tend. Tickets will be $1.0O each and
they may be procured at the Messenger
Office until next Monday evening. AS
the supply is limited, it behoves those
who wish to attend to secure their
tickets at once.

gan the ascent to the pass. Here we
went up three thousand feet in five
miles. The car made the climb, how
ever, without any trouble and we soon
were on the crest We had climbed
about eight thousand feet since leaving
Ell Paso. Behind us, as far as we could
see, lay hundreds of miles of prairie.
AS | said before, we were About three
thousand feet above the rest of the
country, so we could get pretty good
view. We crossed through the pass
from east to west just before sunset
and the scene before us is ore | never
will forget. On the horizon were range
after range of mourtains, many of
them snow capped. On either side of
US were the peaks of the Organ range
extending four on five Thousand feet
above us. Below US, at the foot of the
pass lay the little mining town of Organ
and beyond that the plains. Abe I'd of
US we could see our road sire tchng out
across the plains like a br, ad yellow
ribbon
= We dropped down through Organ and
then across the plains to Las c,uces.
l. is typical western townall one
story buildings mostly adobe. We
lett Las Cruces ab ,ut seven O'Clock for
III Paso, forty hye miles away. At
eight o'clock we bad blowout and had
to stop to charge tires. Three times
afterwards we had to pump the tire
up as we had slow leak and it was too
late at night to patch it, if we could
possibly get along without it. But all
things must come to an end and our
trip was no exception. We reached
camp about ten o'clock, mighty tired,
but We all considered the time we'll
spent.
We do not know yet just when our
regiment will start for home but expect
it will be the last of March or sometime
in April The entire national guard is
to be sent home as soon as possible.
The dates have been set for the first
25, 600. They will not be out of here
until March q, so it will be impossible
for US to get away before then. 1t was
announced yesterday that we will go
home by the way of New Orleans when
we go.
Hoping that this little yarn may be of
some interest to you and your readers.

Why Not Punish the Man?

On the walls of 200 schoolrooms of
Detroit is Motto, bearing hhe follow
ing plain, true words ''IT PAYS, AL
WAYS, TO DO RIGHT AND 1T NEVER
PAYS TO DO WRONG"
These words may be considered, with
profit, in connection with the efforts
being made to clean Detroit of vice.
These efforts are most worthy, pro-
vided the motive is right and the meth
cd wise, but the driving of these un-
fortunate women from Detroit to
continue their evil ways in other cities,
cannot be right, and this is true of all
cities, attempting similar methods.
Reclaiming. through the rebuilding of
wrecked womanhood, is the plain duty
of Michigan's metropolis, where the
hundreds of church spires point Heav-
onward and in whose streets thousands
of professeL Christians walk.
If we consider the ..cestry, the en-
vironments and the tempta;nnSs wfifa..
these outcasts of society have to con-
tend with, ought they to be considered
irreclaimable?
Let it not be forgotten that if there
were no male prostitutes there would
be no female prostitutes and that the
former class is the most numerous anc
most to be condemned; yet they walk
the streets of the city in, granted, com
parative respectability.
Do you say that these women cannot
be reclaimed and brought into the patl
of virtues? God created them pure, bu
man has caused them to sin and mar
should help to restore to them their los
purity.
The lesson taught by the Savior
when the sinful woman was brought t,
Him for condemnation, and to be ston
ed to death according to the Jewisl
law, is lesson for us in the twentieth
century, as we remember His words
"Let him that is without sin, cast th
first stone." And those men went ou
self-condemned.
Knowing all of the temptations an,
conditions which the woman had met
Christ uttered these words, "Nethe
|, do | condemn thee; go and sin II
more"
1t may be that in the Judgemen
Day these sinful women will be far les
, condemned than will be the men VIII
, have caused them to sin.
In behalf of weak, sinful humanit
I and in the light of this twentieth Ger
r tury, in this nation called Christian
: these women of the ''red light" distric
, should not be driven to other cities, o
r to other portions of the same city, bu
instead they should be kindly, helpful
led into 'The Jesus Road" and all VIII
helped to save them-these souls whic
' God created-will be glad in The Da
! of Final Accounts.

Irish potatoes and most other veget-
ables and fruits tend to make the body
tissues and fluids alkaline, so correcting
the tendency of meat, eggs, fish, and
similar foods to create acid conditions
Since the body performs it's work best
when it is neutral or slightly alkaline,
this function of fruits and vegetables is
important, especially to the hearty
meat eater.

4" Two Sinners"

Who went astray in his youthful prime. s
Can the brain keep cool and the heart keep quiet s
When the blood is river that's running riot? :
And boys will be boys, the old folks say, s
And the is the better who has had his day. s
The sinner reformed and the preacher told
Of the prodigal son who came back to the fold.
And the Christian people threw open the door, <
With warmer welcome than ever before; Z
s. Wealth and honor his to command, (
And spotless woman gave him her hand. Z
The world strewed their pathway with blossoms =

Crying God bless ladye and God bless groom 3
There maiden who went astray s
In the golden dawn of her fe's young day, s
She had more passion and heart than head, 3
And she followed blndy where fond Love ed s
And Love- unchecked, is dangerous guide s
To wander at will by fair girls side s
The woman repented and turned from sin &
But door opened to let her in Z
The preacher prayed that she might be forgiven =
But told her to look for mercy-in heaven. 3
For this is the law of the earth, we know, :
That the woman is stoned, while the may go. =

STILL MAKING FORDS.

We hear on all sides that the Ford
Motor Co. will soon cease TO make
Ford cars. We don't believe it. Uncle
Samuel knows that they are just as
essential for winning this war as
powder and biscuits. Stop making the
fords and business would be paralyz-
cd to great extent. Transportation
would be tied up and everything
thrown out of balance until things
could be adjusted. We are signing or
ders for Fords for present and future
delivery up to May l, 1918 and we
believe we will be able to deliver the
cars we have orders for. Of course
we do not guarantee the price not to
advance. We advise you TO place your
