AS help towards bringing the men
with stock to sell and the man who
wants to buy stock together, the
Extension Division of the Michigan
Agricultural College is getting out
each month a list of stock from all

any farmer in Van Buren, County has
stock for sale, send to the Farm
Bureau Office before the 25th, of the

following order; name; address; No.

to purchase stock.
One Day Each Week at Office.
Recently several complaints from
farmers have come to me regarding
the matter Of never being able to find
me at my office. To do the work re
quired of me in this county, it is neces
sary that | spend the greatest portion
of the time out upon the farms of
the county, and up to the present time
have not known what time | might be
free to be at the office. To make the
work more effective, and to make it
possible for the farmers who want to
call at the office to find me there when
they call, | will until further notice
spend the entire day Saturday of
each week at my office in the Court
House, and will be glad to meet there
any farmers who may care to call.

Buy Genuine .
Ford Repairs

The repairs made by the Ford
Motor Company are Of the same high
grade material as those put in the
original car. They fit much nicer,
hence the cost Of installation is gener-
ally less; they wear much longer,
hence your car will last longer by
their use.
There are many concerns selling
repairs for Fords, but only the
Authorized Ford Dealers sell the
genuine Ford parts made by The Ford
Motor Company.
AS our sole business is selling the
Ford car, the success of it depends
upon the satisfactory wear our cars
give, hence we are equally interested
with you in getting repairs that give
the greatest service.
We carry nothing but genuine Ford
parts and have competent mechanic
to install them; we do not solicit nor
expect all Of the Ford repair business,
but we do say that unless you can be
sure that your machanic installs
genuine Ford parts purchased from
us or some other Authorized Ford
Dealer, that you should bring your
car here for future service.

And what is the Wilson admin
istration doing about it? Three or
more times the most urgent appeals
for protection were wireu the Spo-
kane office of the postal inspectors
and each time the local post master
was ordered to obey the law; waa
told he was wrong, and the inspec-

for the postoffice rules and the law.
One inspector well known here told
the writer he would send man to
Orofno the following day and that
the office would be placed in the
hands, of parties who would obey
the law. That was two weeks ago
and nothing has been done.
Burleson would probably fire the
inspector who dared to enforce the

A few days before the recent elec-
tion the National Republican Com
mittee mailed the Clearwater Re-
publican special delivery letter
When that letter reached Orofino il
was the business of the local post
master to deliver that letter imme-
diately. When 1t is delivered the
recipient must sign record show
ing the hour and minute received
and yet that letter was never deliv-
cred according to law. 1t was put

later.

S1A,000,0OO FOR RED CROSS
Every District OVersubscribes Quota
Except the Central West-Mil-

Washington, May 28.--The American
people answered Germany's renewal Of
the offensive on the western front with
an outpouring of more than $4,000
600, swelling the American Red Cross
second war fund to S144 100000. Re-
ports sill are coming in from some of
the districts, and the final total of the
drive which ended on Monday will not
be known until later.
Every Red Cross division except the
central and every state in the Union
except Illinois, went over its quota.
The Central division lacked $780,
600 of reaching its $13,800,0OO. Over
subscriptions in Iowa, Nebraska, Wis

the 50 100000 by which Illinois failed
to achieve its sS,00O,OOO goal.
Milwaukee, May 2S.-Milwaukee has

ONLY ONE EXPRESS co.
FOR THE UNITED STATES
Combination Is Approved by Govern
ment-Rate Increase Asked-All
Business Will Be Emerged.

Washington, May 29.-One union
express company for the United
States was created by agreement be-
tween Director General McAdoo and
the Adams, American, Wells-F'argo
and Southern companies, whose trans
portation business will be merged IN
der a new private corporation with
capital of more than S30,000,00O to be
known probably as the Federal Ex-
press company. George G. Taylor,
now president Of the American, will
be head of the new company.
After July 1. when the combination
becomes effective, shippers will direct
shipments "by express" without re
gard to company, and soon thereafter
the individual names of the separate
companies will begin to disappear
from wagons, stations and cars.
The company WIZ be the express
carrying agency of the railroads, oper-
ating privately, but under contract to
turn over 5014 per cent of their gross
revenues-more than S200000,000 last
year-tO the roads for transportation
privileges. Three smaller railroad
owned companies, the Western, Great
Northern and Northern-may join the
combination later.
A pending application for 10 per
cent increase in rates filed before gov
eminent operation of railroads Tor the
express combination was contemplate
ed viii be passed on soon by the in
terstate commerce commission.
More than 100000 employees of the
four companies are to be retained I'M
der the new corporation, and their
wages will be raised in many cases,
according to Mr.. Taylor.
Through economies by the common
use Of equipment, and the simplifica-
ton of accounting, the merged com
panies hope to save many millions of
dollars and to render better service.
Though the merger is arranged
under war exigencies, it is planned as
permanent.
