FARM BUREAU NOTES.

Watch for the exact date and program
of the big Northern Michigan Holstein
Breeders meeting at the Loeb Farm the
last days of August or early in Septem-
ber.
We imagine that after the wheat
grower has bumped up against the
Federal grading rules on smut, no ar
gument will be needed 10 induce him
to treat his seed.
Let's not forget to field select the
seed corn for next year, and also re-
member the good early varieties that
always get ripe for us.
The recent rains are bringing on the
late potatoes in fine shape. Now is the
time TO begin taking out the diseased
hills and mixed varieties. You can do
this work yourself or the County Agent
will help you if you call on him. ,
The CharlevoiX County Breeders AS
sociation, very recently organized, is
beginning TO show results. The Hol-
for the largest and best Holstein meet
ing ever held in northern Michigan.
Speakers of national importance will
be present. The place OF holding the
meeting will be at the Loeb Farm and
the time undoubtedly will be the very
last OF this month. A considerable
number are becoming interested in the
breed and the plans are already made
for bringing about twenty choice fe-
males into the county within the next
ten days.
The Shorthorn men are lining up in
great shape for their breed. They are
planning on fine exhibit at the fair
Two good purebred animals have been
brought into the county within the
last week.
The Guernsey men are also very
busy. Under the leadership of their
Chairman, Mr.. James Hart, the admir-
ers of the breed have clubed together
and are now placing an order for thirty
females of the better bred brood. .
Although the organization has its
various divisions which work for. the
interests of their favorite breed, yet
all are together on the Better Live
stock for Charlevoix County Campaign.
All are together in saying "Scrub sires

a months work under organized plan
is showing the Charlevoix County

Washington. A stoop shOuldered
man leaning on crutches came into the
offices of the federal board for vOca-
tional education one morning and, look
ing around the room, asked II this was
the place where the soldiers who had
been hurt in the war could find some
thing to do. The agent Of the board
asked him to sit down, and told him
the plan that the government had for
helping the handicapped men Of the
army, navy and marine who had been
disabled in the service so that they
might keep on with an active life.

The adviser talked TO him for bit
and tried to discover just what this
man could do. He had held odd jobs
here and there but none led to any
thing definite. He wasn't any more
interested in auto mechanics than in
street sweeping, or in gardening than
In clerking. He sat there listlessly

The federal board sent the man to
learn engraving, and in few months
he was the best of all the workers in
the jewelry store where he was EN-

the door Of success TO him. He has

were a sporting man / would be pre-
pared to wager that nothing like 10O.-
OO0,0 900 pounds is at stake.
He put the sum at 100000 to 3,OOO,-
600 pounds by multiplying the largest
estimate given to him by those In po-
sition to know. The bill went to
select committee for consideration as
to It's practical working. 1t will not
apply to accounts which have laid dor
mant for six years or less.
1t was noted in the beginning that
Mr.. Bottomley has long been promi-
nent in this "buried treasure" quest.
II must not be overlooked that he has
also been long q figure In the courts.
He has been called the stormy petrol
of English politics and journalism. He
has often been defendant in lawsuits
growing out of financial transactions.
AS far back as the nineties he was
tried with former Lord Mayor Isaacs
of London on charge Of conspiracy
TO defraud in connection with the fail
nre OF the Hansard Printing and Pub.
fishing union. BottOmley was manag-
ing director. Both. however were ac-
quilted. BOttOmley defended himself
with so much skill as to win the desig-
nation Of ''the best lay lawyer In Eng
land"
Paid 100000 Voluntarily.
1t must be said to his credit that
years after he voluntarily paid $1,000
900 over TO the stockholders of the
failed concern. In 1909 q treasury
prosecution was brought against him
by the government in connection with
the London and Joint Stock Trust and
Finance corporation, of which he was
the principal promoter. The action
failed. the magistrate deciding there
was no case against him. Again Bot
tomley defended himself.
Not all of his legal defenses, how
ever. were successful. In June, 1911,
he was ordered to refund $250000 to
the estate of r. e. Master, Madras
civil officer, on the ground that he had
sold the latter worthless securities. On
another occasion he was made to pay
50 800 damages to Miss Louvima Knoll
lys, daughter of Lord Knollys, pri-
vate secretary to King Edward VII, for
having stated in one Of his publica-
tiOns that she had elOped with cav
airy officer.
AS journalist he came into notice
by founding the London Financial
Times. Later he established John
Bull, weekly that attained an enor-
nous circulation. In recent years he
has made great deal of money in
mining operations. Since then he has
appeared on the turf as the Owf}er OF
stable.

REMOVE 1850 KISSES

japan does not like to see kissing In
public therefore American film stars
are not permitted to osculate on the
screen. In six months up to March l.,
the police censors removed 1850 kisses

Only one kiss was allowed to re-

in Tokyo only, as the censors deleted

AS far back as the beginning Of 1909,
Horatio w. Bottomley, independent

owner and editor of John Bull, became
prominent in pushing the dormant
bank balances BILL, whose object was
TO force the banks to disclose the ma
ture Of unclaimed securities they hold,
and the amount of unclaimed money.
in order that they may be utilized by
the government for public purposes.
The bill failed of passage at the time
but ii was recently revived by Mr.
BOttomley.
Mr.. Bottomley said In support Of the
bill that at least 100,000,00O pounds
sterling would be recovered. Going in
to details he told the following story:
There was an old lady with 2S,OOO
pounds Approximately $140,O0O) to her
credit at well-knOwn London bank.
Every year she would drive up in her
carriage and ask to see the manager,
examine her passbOOk, and then draw
check for the full amount. While
the manager entertained her In the
bank parlor cashier would slip
around to the head office and get notes
for $4,000 pounds. The old lady would
carefully count them. and then being
satisfied that her money was safe, put
II back into the account and go away.
After time her visits ceased. For
fifteen or sixteen years now she has
never been heard Of and her relatives
are UNKNOWN"
Charlevoix county herald., 1919-08-22
Another Piquant MorseI.

A member expressed incredulity, but
Mr.. BOttOmley replied that he could
give the name of the bank. Austen
Chamberlain. chancellor Of the eX-
chequer, said the story was not entire
ly new to him. and added another pi-
quaint morsel to the bill of fare. Stirred
by the talk about dormant balances,
banking firm decided to investigate
and discovered an account for 10000
pounds that had not been touched for
30 years. That account also stood In
the name of lady presumably no
longer young. The bank communicate
cd with her and asked If she was
aware that the sum stood to her credit.
She replied rather tartly that she was
perfectly well aware of what her prop
erty was and where II was, and since
she could not leave 1t with that bank
without being worried about it she had
taken steps to transfer it to another.
Major Lowther. member for North
Cumberland, added to the entertain
ment as follows: "Early In the nine
teenth century the old banking COM
