Senator ..Helen :Ring Robinson has great message which should be heard by everyone interested in humanity, and the progress of our great commonwealth. Norman Happood of Harper's Weekly said of her: The only woman senator in the United States, already highly tested and proved honor to her state still further established her statesmanshp during the Colorado civil war. Several times she sought her information at the seat of battle Where so many were blinded by hate she was tolerant. Then when her heart sui fered she wac calm. She sought also not the easiest temporary escape buy permanent so- lutons.'' Her subject at Chautauqua will be Woman and Worlds Work"

 Don't Allow Soil To Pack.
 If the young plants are permitted to stand in hard packed trusted ground it cannot be expected that they will make the rapid sturdy growth necessary to maximum crop production The importance of early cultivation must be 90 apparent to the thinking farmer that discussion at length is unnecessary.
 Use Section Harrow.
 The question then is-What Is the best implement a farmer can use for early and rapid cultivation? Our an swer is, A fifty or sixty tooth iron section harrow IL Is not an expensive implement; it is one that Is needed on every farm at all seasons. With a eood team fifteen acres per day can be cultivated. The teeth are adjust able SO that the ground can be pull yerised with minimum amount of Tho section harrow can be used b. fore and after the seeds arc up When \ beating rain foilovs the planting of . crop tho harrow should b. used just as soon As the ground will pulvertse This will prevent erustins. form q mulch for the retention of moisture, warm up the ground. enable the young plants to como up without difficulty md promote their rapid growth. If rorn or cotton Is not planted on . hish bed-a practice that should not he followed except on badly drained lands-the section harrow can he safely used after the plants are vol ID. It is the best early cultivation hat can be given such crops IL breaks and pulverizes the whole surface in @arly weed growth and gives the crop every chance for the rapid growth so highly desirable.
 Cultivate With Care.
 In narrowing corn or cotton after the plants are up the team should not he driven with the rows nor di rectly across them If the rows arc fe"o--AA hnrre~ t"ath is tftaIy to plumb the center Of the row and tear ID all he plants !f the driving ls aone directly across tn rows thp whcle .op of the row may be pulle' If f pian,ed or slight bed or roll as r. sf ou'd be.

this vicinity last Friday evening about
10 o'clock when an automobile contain
ing five passengers and driven by Han

up and across the main road and went
into the deep ditch, where the heavy
machine turned upside down, pinning
the occupants underneath. Craig was
badly injured about the head and also
hurt internally. The. other occupants of
the car, whose names could not be learn
ed, escaped with few minor bruises.
Craig was taken to DR.. Whites office,
where he was cared for until morning
when he was sent to Hurley hospital,

as well as could be expected.

Lake Orion

The season at Lake Orion ends with a
jubilee and Labor Day barbecue, start
ing Saturday, September 1st, anG prom
ises to be notable affair. The season
at this popular resort started Decora-
tion Day and had continued cold and
rainy weather until July Goth, which
interfered with business materially
with nice warm weather everything
changed, and the season as a whole
broke all records The bathing beach
did three times the business of former
years, the boats of the Lake Orion Nav
igation company were crowded early
and late, many moonlight parties en-
joying the trip around the twenty-one
islands. Possibly the most successful
place was the mammoth pavilion, where
thousands of couples danced to the mu-
sic Of Logan's orchestra every night.
The riding devices came in for good
share of profit and the concessionaires
did unusually well during the last half
of the season, which goes to prove that
Lake Orion is one of the coming great
resorts of this country The owner is
so well pleased with the seasons result
that he is planning bigger things for
the future in buildings and amusements
with special attention t. landscape gar
dening and beautifying Park Island and
many other improvements to hotels and
cottages on the twenty one islands.

600 bushels. The estimated number of

farmers during the IL months ending
June 30th was IL, 750, 900 and as the es-
timated yield for 1916 was approximate
ly IL, 400. 600 bushels, it is very evident
that the wheat crop Of 1916 has been
disposed of by the growers.
Oats-The estimated average yield of
oats in the state is 38. 33 bushels per
acre. This estimate indicates that the
state yield will be about 73, 900, 900 bush.
