DR.. Morris Is Waging Popular
Campaign for State Senator
Voters Welcome Keller
Mans Deviation From
Primary Landmarks

Every voter in the southern half of
Van Buren, county-and almost every
voter in the county, for that matter
knows DR.. Raymond G. Morris of
Keller township, jovial, big-hearted
friend of everybody, who is just now
waging an aggressive campaign-and
his friends predict it is going to
prove successful campaign-for the
republican nomination for state SEN
ator.
Moreover, DR.. Morris is rapidly en-
tending that acquaintance into every
nook and corner of Allegan county,
Van Buren's sister county, in the for
nation of the eighth senatorial dis
trict, and when the primary ballot
boxes are emptied in the two counties
on August 9th, they are going to
yield a most substantial vote for the
Keller candidate.
DR.. Morris is not politician. He
admits it, and as frankly confesses
that he has no ambition to become a
politician in the common acceptance
of that term. He has never sought
public Office before, his political act
ivities having been confined to con-
sistently supporting the things he be-
lieved to be right and as vigorously
opposing the things he believed to be
wrong. His favorite axiom when
affairs public and political have been
under consideration is, Fright is right
and wrong is wrong, and there is no
twilight between the two"-and he
has hewed to that line, as the men
and measures who have enjoyed his
support and those who have incurred
his opposition will vouchsafe.

COUNTY'S NEXT QUOTA

Following is the list of Van Buren,
county boys who will make up the
next quota to join the American
Fighting forces. These boys have
been summoned to appear before the
local draft board on Tuesday August
9th, and they will leave for camp ON
Wednesday morning, probably on the
1910 train for Kalamazoo. The
quota will be made up of 141 men.

Wants To Help Win The War

Just now his dominant purpose IN
life-and he declares it should be the
dominant purpose of every good
American, is to contribute every
effort within his power to the WIN
ming of the war. Long before food
administrators began the enforce
ment of the present rigid food regu-
lations, DR.. Morris prophetically de-
clared that food would ultimately
win the war---and straightway he
took UP the offensive in the front
line of food trenches. Going to the
Indiana agricultural college he secur-
ed a quantity of the Turkey Red
wheat which had been brought to a
high state of development there, and
he also secured the Red Rock wheat
and Rosen rye perfected by the Mich
igan college. On his $50 acres OF
land in Van Buren, county these
pedigreed grains began to grow. and
he is now furnishing immense quanti-
ties of seed to the farmers of this
and adjoining counties. Other crops
in increased acreage have figured in
his flood offensive" Last winter he
became the originator of the Boys
Liberty Pig Club of Van Buren, and
- Allegan counties, and he now has a
\ large number of boys enthusiastically
at work in the two counties to in
crease the sum total of the country's
pork crop this fall. Duroc hogs are
one of the live stock features at the
Norris farms, and in forming the Pig
Nab DIR. Morris has distributed sowS

Not a "Hand-Picked Candidate

Although not a professional poll
tician-and, mayhap, untutored in the
politicians professional methods Of
vote hunting-Dr. Morris is going
about the winning of the primary
nomination in the same matter of
fact way that he went about the
requirement of a most liberal educa-
ton and that he has gone about the
other practical affairs of life. And
the voters of two counties appear to
approve his deviation from the ster-
eotyped campaign methods that the
primary has brought into vogue.
Withal a close student of history
and the trend of political affairs of
the past decade, he has some pretty
well defined notions of the things
essential to national development and
the maintenance Of Michigan in the
front ranks of sisterhood of states,
and some we'll defined theories. too
of the things essential to the devel-
opment of the dominant industries OF
the senatorial district he hopes to re-
present. Although his interests are
almost exclusively in farming, he de-
clares he is not the hand-picked can
didate of any class of our citizenship
but, on the contrary, that he is going
to represent every class and every
interest in his senatorial district and
his state with equal fairness--if he
is chosen to represent anybody. In
fact, he is uncompromisingly opposed
to distinctive and preferential class
legislation of every sort---whether il
is his class or the other fellows
whenever that legislation exceeds the
bounds of exact equity.

Society Leaders Everywhere Iden-
Trying Themselves With w. 4
8. 8. Promotion Work.

"The newest thing in fashionable
war activity Is to become member
of war Savings Society, or to or
ganize one yourself and develop it 70
the utmost limits of membership"
says f. Howard Russ, Director OF Pub.
licity for the National War Savings
Committee in Michigan. The move
ment has spread Throughout schools,
business Offices, manufacturing estab-
lishments, hotels, ETC., and has now
been given the hearty endorsement of
the Federation of Women's Clubs,
which comprises the leading social
and literary clubs OF the fair sex
throughout the country.
Organizing one of these War Saw
ings Societies is simplicity itself.
Such a society is open to recognition
by, the National War Savings Com
'mittee as soon as ii has an enroll
ment of ten or more members, each
of whom pledges himself or herself
to the purchasing OF stipulated
number of Thrift Stamps or War Saw
ing Stamps In a given period of time.
In recognition of their spirit of pat.
rlotism, the Government bestows upon
members of these War Savings Socie-
ties badges designating degrees of sci.
vice. Not only Is every individual who
becomes a member given an attractive
badge bearing the design of the torch
OF liberty encircled with the words,
"War- Savings Service" but special
badges are also conferred on those
securing additional members, one star
Indicating the securing of ten new
members, two stars indicating that
twenty-five have been secured. three
stars, fifty new members, four stars,
one hundred, and five stars that the
worker has secured two hundred new
members for his War Savings Society.

we'll as of the individuals, prominent
in Michigan society who have inaug-
urated these Thrift. Clubs throughout
the state, would be too lengthy for
space at our disposal, but so import.

RED POST card CAMPAIGN
President Wilson to Thank Lead
ing Scout Statesmen for Dis
tinguished Service.

Washington.-The $4,000 Boy
Scouts OF America have been asked
by the Secretary of the Treasury TO
enlist an army Of war savers through
out the country. The scouts have in
structions from their national head
quarters to ring every doorbell In the
land, deliver a short talk on the ne
cessity of saving, and take orders for
Government war-saving securities
the 25-cent and SIS thrift stamps.
President Wilson will write a per-
sonal letter of thanks TO the scout In
each State who has the highest re-
cord Of sales during the year, and the
wives OF the Cabinet members have
offered to give a victory flag in each
State to the troop standing at the top
at the end of the year.
Secretary McAdoo, in his appeal to
the scouts, says:
Your splendid work in the Liber-
ty Loan campaigns proved that the
! Government can count on you and
your organization. Knowing that
you are always ready to serve your
country, and realizing how widely
war-savings stamps may be sold
through your efforts, take pleasure
in presenting you another opportun-
ity.
Five million red post cards have
been printed by the Government for
the special use Of the scouts. These
are orders for the local postmaster 10
deliver savings stamps. The boys will
take the orders for stamps from
house to house. drop the signal cards
in the mail box, and the post office will
