JOY in Winning Success.

The training Of personality is often
a matter Of c0mpulsion. Men shuD
loads and dodge responsibilities when
ever they can. They covet ease and
wealth and try taking the shortest
road to II. That may land them there
and II may not. Usually men have to
rise through struggle. That has d
way OF making men turn to themselves
for what they get. Others are busy
with the same Job and they can't give
heip to anyone. AS men learn to do
they develop power to do and event
ually the love OF doing takes possess
sion Of them. It's not Just matter
OF poetry. but IT'S according to fDct.
There's no Joy like that Of conscious
success and Il grows with what is
done.

DRAINAGE WORK STARTED

Drainage work has been started
on the farm of F. P. Wilson at
Smiths Greek, under the super
vision Of Walter Van Haitsma and
his assistant, Dwain Cook of Cap
ac.
Large areas will be drained this
fall on the farms of John Patter-
son and son, and H. j. Voght and
son, both in Columbus township,
and the big ditching machine will
move into other territory as soon
as the work is completed.
There has been much delay in
drainage work in this county this
summer because the shipments Of
tile were held up. The manufac-
ture of tile will be started at the
st. Clair brick yards as soon as
the company can get in a sufficient
supply of coal to warrant start
ing operations

A Coming Musical Quartette

Mrs. Frank Andreae and son
Harold left for Chicago on Satur-
day last, where Harold will enter
the public school and Also receive
the best instruction on the SaXa-
phone. Mr.. and Mrs. Andreae
have four sons from about eight
to sixteen years of age, and being
musically inclined, each has Sc
lected a different instrument in
which to perfect himself, so it
will not be long before there will
be the finest kind of a quartette
in that home.
Fred, the eldest, has been TAX
ing violin lessons in Port Huron
the past year; Harold, as above
stated, is beginning on the saXa-
phone; Gordon has a full set of
drums, with which he devotes a
proper share of his time, while
Buncie, the youngest, is getting
instructions on the Baby Grand
piano, a recent acquisition in this
home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andreae are to be
congratulated upon the splendid
ambition of their sons, and the
sons upon the hearty cooperation
of their parents in their desires.

Loans of Saginaw Valley and
Thumb Districts Compared
With Corn Belt

That certain soils of the Sagi-
nav Valley and Thumb districts
of Michigan may be compared
favorably with the famous corn
belt sections Of Illinois and 9TH
er fertile regions, is the opinion
of DR.. M. NJ. McCool. head Of the
soils department at the Michigan
Agricultural College.
The estimate of the fertility of
these states lands is based upon
the findings of a soil survey of the
lake bed area in the Saginaw Val
ley and Thumb districts, which
has just been completed by DR..
McCool and Prof. G.. M. Grant
ham, of M. A. C. The soils of the
whole district have been classl-
fed, mapped, and their plant-food
content determined, by means of
chemical analysis.
with the exception of the sand
ridges and deep sandy deposits,
the soils of these areas are we'll
supplied with lime," says DR.. Nc
Cool. "In fact the subsoils, rang
ing from IA to "a inches from the
surface, carry a high per cent of
this valuable constituent, and the
surface soils are sweet in reac-
ton. Where drainage is adequate
all legumes thrive without the
use of lime.
For the staple crop grown on
the older farms, acid phosphate
is needed, and brings adequate
returns on the investment. The
nitrogen content of the heavier
soils is high. Potash, with the
possible exception of sugar beets
and cabbage, is not needed.
'The sand ridges and sandy
areas are deficient in lime, nitro
gen and PHOSPHORUS, and unless
stable manure is used complete
fertilizers of high grade are
usually very profitable.
'"The well drained loans, silt
loans, and clay loan soils of
these areas compare very favor
ably in fertility and productivity
with the famous corn belt soils"

Allan and RObb Families
Hold Reunion In Yale
The Need of the Average Town

Probably the greatest need Of
the average town or village Of
Michigan is a better community
spirit. Living in town or viii
lage is much preferable to exist
ing amongst the noise and hustle
with the attending inconvenience
OF congestion that is so prevail
ent in the larger cities. Yet with
al this the cities are growing
larger and more influential,
while the smaller places are
struggling for their very exis-
tence.
The spirits of the people who
nave struggled to help their home
town have often been broken and
their enthusiasm shattered by
sectional affairs. In the past party
politics had a great influence in
keeping the citizens working at
cross purposes.
