Senator r. e. Dunn is Dead.


It is with feeling Of deep sorrow
and regret that we are called upon 70.
chronicle the death Of our best friend
and employer, Senator, OF as he liked
better to be called, Bob" Dunn. He
was q man among men generous TO
a fault, charitable. and ever ready to
assist persons in distress whether he
knew them or not. As Rev. Stowe re-
marked in his funeral GRAFTON, refer
ring to Mr.. Dunn acts Of charity, he
did not let his right hand know what
he performed with his left. Hundreds
Of people ii distress were assisted by
onr departed friend Of which onls tise
bene1iciaries know.
In all matters pertaining to the pub.
lie welfare Mr. Dunn was invariably
in the lead. He was the father Of
the good roads system, not only in
this state but the United States, and
it was due to his efforts when state
auditor that many thousands OF dol
lars were saved to the state by meas
ures which he advocated and which
were enacted into law. ss.g5
He loved his home town Of Princeton
and did more than his share toward
its development. The armory, for in

this village had it not been for Robert
C. Dunn. He was a true friend Of the
soldier boys and made it a special

HAMER FOR SENATE
Show Your rally By Casting : Vote
for Richard Hamer, ! Patri
otic American Farmer.
Mr.. Hamer is an Educated Man. an
Advocate Of Temperance and an
Able Public Speaker.

sLunn OF princeton last Monday morn
ing has put an entirely dlifferent COM
5plexion upon the senatorial contest in
this district. The senator was cam
.didate for reelection and undoubtedly
would have won over his Nonpartisan
league opponent had he lived.
Because Of the strong opposition tor
the Nonparisan league candidate
throughout the district, which has be-
come intensified because Of the bitter
attacks which he made upon Mr.. Dunn
while he was upon his deathbed, it.
was decided at conference Of Mr.
Dunn's former supporters held last
Monday afternoon not to permit the
election to go by default, but that am.
other candidate be selected to take his.
place.
The candidate chosen is Richard
Hamer, successful farmer living
near Milaea, in Mile Laos county MI.
Hamer is strong advocate Of coop
Grafton among farmers and has been
actively identified with the various CO.
operative movements Of the farmers
in his locality since locating there
more than fifteen years ago. He took
"a prominent part in organizing the ]:
Milaca Farmers Cooperative cream
cry twelve years ago, and which is
now one Of the largest and best cream
cries IN the state. Mr.. Hamer has;
been treasurer Of this creamery since
its organization. He is q well edu-
Gated man, clear thinker and reason
er. and an exceptionally able public
speaker. We consider him ii every
way well qualified to represent the
district in the state senate Mr.:
Hamer is an earnest supporter Of the !
temperance cause and is an intensely i
loyal American.
It was with great dsal Of reluc-
lance that Mr.. Hamer consented to
permif his name to be used as candi-
date. He is ia no sense politician or
q seeker of public office and preferred
TO give his undivided attention to his
farm. He was finally persuaded to-
permit his name to be used as can
didate, and whirlwind campaign is
being made in his behalf in each Of the
three counties Of the district. It isS
too late to have his name printed upon
the official ballot, so it will be neces-
sary to use stickers or write his name
upon the ballot.
notwithstanding the handicap un-
der which Mr.. Hamer labors on ar
count Of not having his name upon the
printed ballot, it is believed that his
candidacy will meet with such gem
eral favor and appreciation through
out the district that he will be elected
by good majority.
Vote for Mr.. Hamer by attaching a.
sticker to your ballot next Tuesday or
by writing in his name.

"All you need furnish Is personal
clothes and food-and If you do not
wish to bother with the food problem
we have an excellent cafe in the build
ing"
The speaker was the manager of a
large apartment hotel in Chicago. He
was demonstrating the conveniences
of his building to some prospective
tenants.
SIN this two-room suite four people
can be accommodated" he continued.
"The beds fold up and disappear in
the wall; the library table can be
quickly converted into a dining table !;
the kitchenette is revealed by throw
ing back the doors. Everything is SIM
pie, complete yet compact. We fur
nish your dishes, table linens, gas, ice
even the writing materials in that
desk. You are freed from absolutely
every bother, and have a home COM
bining the social attractions Of hotel
and the privacy Of an apartment"
Thus he summed up in a few words
the features of type Of building that
is reyolutionizing American cities.
From the ample residence of twenty
year ago to this amazing specimen Of
our tendency to eliminate household
duties and make one room do where
five existed before is a change that
has just about reversed the average
Americans habits.
And the change has not been con-
fined to dwellings, either. A walk
down the prominent street of any large
American city today cannot help but
impress one. Where once there exist
ed structures Of one, two and three
stories for the most part, we now find
skyscrapers towering eighteen, twenty
five and forty stories into the sky. So
completely has the skyscraper sup
planted the old-style building that
business centers Of American cities
have been practically rebuilt during
the course of only two decades. In
no other country has such a revolution
occurred. The story Of how 1t came
about is interesting.
1t was, of course, inevitable that a
need should be felt for higher build
ings. AS cities grew larger and land
values scarce, owners of buildings
found that their properties were not
returning a sufficient income on the
investment. 1t was felt that parcel
of land should be utilized to greater
extent than by erecting three or

Unless all signs fail history is 60
ing to repeat itself and America will
be one of the empires of the future.
But not, as in the past, political en-
pire-it will be the American business
empire. It's bonds will consist of COM
mercial relations between free nations.
Our products and our influence will
extend to every corner OF the globe.
Can anyone read the facts in regard
to our tremendous development of for
eign trade without seeing evidence of
this future American business empire
now taking form?
When the war ends and the period
of reconstruction Is completed, there
will be readjustments. There may
even be temporary periods of depres-
sion. But the fulfllment of Americas
glorious destiny cannot be permanent
ly retarded. 1t cannot be, because
America Is In every way fitted for
prominent position in world affairs.
We have the resources-great undevel-
oped natural endowments of forest,
mine and land. We are young and
progressive people. America has at
tracted to its shores the strongest men
and women of other lands. Dissatis-
fed with their worldly lot at home
they have come to US, eager to work
with all their might for improvement.
Americas opportunity has been hast
ened by the war. We have been shak-

and forced to cast our lot with the
nations who will soon form league

In the world.
The day of the autocratic political
empire is gone, but the business en-

History repeats itself" Time-worn,
but how universally true!
When Phoenician gold hunters dis
covered Europe about 1000 B. c. the
land they explored possessed a
marked similarity to the America
known to Columbus, Marquette and
Cabot. At that time aboriginal Eu-
rope was covered with prih-tval for
ests. Its natives painted themselves,
scalped, worshiped the devil and
dressed like the American Indian.
And Europe was colonized about
the same way as were the Americas.
The Phoenlcians subjugated the land
just as vigorously as the Spaniards
did South America and carried home
In enormous quantities the treasures
gathered in the virgin territory they
exploited.
1t Is even reasonable to assume that
the Phoenician small boy who re-
NAMED at home got many thrills Gas
did the American boy later in his west
ern tales) reading about wild and
woolly Europe"
History has certainly repeated itself
In not only the case Of Europe and
America, but with other countries as
well. Sit back for moment and
trace mentally the course civilization
has taken since the dawn of history.

TO IDENTIFY DAIRY CATTLE
Difficult to Distinguish Certain Heifers
From Certain Cows Few Years
After Birth.

Every farmer who keeps dairy cat
tie should adopt some scheme for iden.
tifying his stock. 1t is easy to remem
Der the cows in herd by their names
but it is quite another thing to be able
to distinguish certain heifers from GER
tain cows, two or three years after
birth. If one is in daily association
with his stock, he might be able to
remember that one calf is from this
cow, another from that COW, and so on
but if the calves are put away on pas
ture, the chances are that at the end
of year their ancestry will be for
gotten.
With breeders of purebreds, it is
strictly essential to be able to trace
the ancestry. Registration rules spe
city this, and when heifer or bull cali
is registered, its markings must be not
ed on a card provided for the purpose

Lesson in Geoqraphy,

Readers of General Alletby's dis
ties of the Dead sea, were not q little
puzzled at his description of British
airplanes flying four hundred feet be-
low the sea level. But reference to Il
geography brought the information
which solved the riddle; the Dead sea
lies 1902 feet below the surface of the
Mediterranean, so that airplaDes sail
ing four hundred feet below sea level
were still at an elevation of eight hun
dred and ninety-tw0 feet. Lessons in
geography abound in the papers now

VALUE OF PREP0TENT BULLS
High-Class Animal Stands Little
Chance of Transmitting inferior
Qualities of Ancestor.

The bull is half the herd. If he is
prepotent, as all good bulls are, he is
much more than half the herd. The
purebred bull, all of whose ancestors
for several generations were first-class
individuals, stands very little chance
of transmitting the qualities of some
inferior remote ancestor. In the dairy
record center at Farmers Union, On
tario, there were ii herds Of grade
cattle. Seven Of these herds, comprls-
ing 50 cows, had always used grade
sircs. The other seven, comprising "a
cows, had used purebred sires for

four-story building on II. But there
A building under the old plan of
construction could not be much in
creased in height. The necessity of
having enormously thick walls, If
height was to be obtained, resulted in
loss of light and space, especially on
the lower floors, where room was at
a premium. Until the advent of the
steel skeleton type of construction,
therefore, little progress was made in
attempting larger buildings. The new
idea swept aside at once the conStruc-
ton difficulties.
Then there was another problem to
be solved. How were the larger build
ings to be financed?
At that time the first mortgage bond
issue was practically unknown in
cure financial cooperation in erecting
a building, 1t was necessary to enlist
the aid of a bank, insurance company
or private capitalist, and secure
straight mortgage. But there were
limits to the size of loans to be obtain
ed In this manner! Institutions and in
dividuals, even though they were able
to invest the money, hardly desired to
tie up large sums in one project. A
mortgage of $4,000 was difficult to
secure. When one considers what
drop in the bucket $4,000 is in finan-
cling a skyscraper, some idea of the
financial problem confronting builders
of that time is gained.
Often times when money was tight
or financial institutions had loaned out
their limited allotment Of capital for
the year builder was actually unable
to secure financial cooperation to any
extent.
AS q result of this condition worthy
building operations were frequently re-
Stricted or abandoned and the develop
ment of American cities suffered.
But, almost simultaneous with the
Introduction Of the skyscraper in Chi
cage, an adequate method of financing
was also brought to the attention of
llle L nc ldSd was llOl uC",
having been borrowed from Europe.
The principle was to place a straight
mortgage on the property. This mort
gage was then to be divided into frac-
tional parts and offered to the public
in bonds of convenient denominations.
Thus, not one, but many, investors
might share in financing project and
loans of almost unlimited size could
be secured. The plan was tried out on
one of the pioneer skyscrapers in Chi
cago. The opportunity to share along
with the large capitalist In a mortgage
on the highest grade property appealed
to investors and the bonds were read
lily sold.
The success of the experiment soon
led to the use Of first mortgage bond
issues in other projects and today it
is perhaps the most widely utilized
method of financing buildings. With
out the introduction Of the first mort
gage bond issue, it is difficult to con-
ceive how American city building could
have progressed as it has during the
last twenty years.

WINTER EXERCISE FOR CALF
When Weather Is Favorable Young
Animal Should Be Turned Out
In Sheltered Yard.

Each day during the winter. when
the weather Is favorable, the calves
need to be turned out into a shelter
ed yard for exercise, which Is neces-
sary for their proper growth and
health. 1t is also very important that
the calves, from very early age, be
given all the pure, fresh water they
care to drink each day. The pens
should be dlsinfected frequently.
Quick-lime is excellent to sprinkle on
the floor each time 1t is cleaned, and
frequent spraying with some stand
ard coal-tar-dip solution will prove
beneficial.
