Mr.. Osborn has a dynamic person
atty, and intelligence equal if not
superior to the leading minds of to-
day. But he has a weakness that
minimizes his magnetic personality
and powerful mind. He is bitter and
vindictive, hot headed and to use a
common expression, "Goes off the
handle" at trifes. For instance, his
recent vituperative attack on the
auto King" is a sample. Such a
vindictive and undigrifed harangue

man before the senate could not help

Mr.. Newberry is an American
Naval officer. soldier and not

fulfilling his duty, not for money, not
for prestige, but with the sole object
of helping his country to defeat her
enemies. He has two sons in the SER
vice and his wife is actively engaged
in war work. He does not seek a

WARNING TO FRUIT SHIPPERS

The state law requires the name
and address of the grower, or packer
on every closed package Of fruit or
vegetables, offered for sale on the
open market. The name and address
shall be stamped or printed on the
package before it leaves the owners
premises. "Heed this warning, it
may save you trouble, says the fruit
inspector.
State Fruit Inspector, r. F Brown
was called to Kalamazoo Saturday
relative to a shipment of apples from
Van Buren, County which were ship
ped into that city contrary to law.
On investigation it was found that
the shown surface, or face of the
package were of very fair grade of
Yellow Transparent Apples. The
baskets were we'll filled. They were
offered for sale on the oren' market
without any marking whatever. A
Huskster bought the apples and in
sisted on having them dumped into
his crates and when this was done
the lower portion of the baskets con-
tanned the poorest specimen of apples
ever shown in any market. The
Huckster demanded a refund or his
money, and was so wrought up over
the transaction that he called up the
police station, also, the City Sealers
Office.
The City Sealer confiscated one
bushel of the apples for evidence in
case they were wanted as such.
Brown traced the apples back to
Lawrence where he found the party
who sold them in Kalamazoo, and
this man gave the name of the Ban
gor Township man that he bought
them of stree run" Brown went to
this man and found out from him
and his wife, that they sold the
apples to this "speculator" furnish
ed the baskets for the farmer to put
them in just as they come from the
trees, and if they were faced at all,
farmer claims, they must have been
faced and covered by the "specu-
lator." The guilty party will be
prosecuted.

Letter from Sam Heller, Military

Mrs. Ed Heller of Paw Paw.


The reason I haven't written be-

write you until l was settled down
in some definite place.

am on the police force now here in

very sore. They are getting much
better now though. The boys ! came

at-home men preserved the same
attitude of wooden indifference
and careless disrespect to the
Stars and Stripes that has mark
ed similar occasions in Kalama-
zoo.
Any one of the hundreds of
men who lined the sidewalks as
the draft procession passed would
no doubt resent with his fists
any spoken disrespect to the flag,
yet his silent indifference and
disrespect is almost as reprehen-
sible, in this critical hour, as an
open slur.
There is something radically
wrong with the patriotic educa-
ton of a community whose men
stand with heads covered when
the flag goes by, waving over the
heads of soldiers marching out
to fight and die for the things
of which that flag is the symbol.

FARM BCREAt' NOTES
" arning For Wheat Growers

All farmers purchasing Red Rock
wheat for seed should insist on know
ing just what they are getting when
purchasing same. If buying seed
which is offered as inspected or certi-
fled seed before paying for same in
sist on positive proof that it is in
spected and certified.
Red Rock or any Of the pedigreed
varieties such as Rosen Rye, Worthy,
Alexander or College Success oats
may be advertised as inspected and
yet not be certified seed.
Certified seed has to pass two in
spections. The first in the field and
the second after the grain is ready
to sell for seed. Thus a certain mans
grain may pass the first inspection,
and the man be perfectly honest in
advertising it as inspected, and it
may not be certified because of fail
ing to pass the second inspection.
Red Rock wheat or any other pedi-
greed variety no matter how pure or
good, cannot be eligible for inspect
ion next year unless grown from GER
titled seed.
For the above reason any one who
has any intention of applying for in
spection of any of the pedigreed var
ieties should insist on certified seed.
At the very earliest possible oppor-
tunity this office will procure COM
plete list of ali the men in the county
who have certified seed of any of the
pedigreed varieties for sale and we
will be glad to inform any one de-
string to be sure Of getting the real
genuine certified seed where to find
same.

Simonton, U. S. Entomologist station

 The score was II to 13-and. Flagstaff had the II after pass ing through divers stages of the nine integral parts of the pro gram.
