CLOVER SEED SELLS
FOR LOWER PRICES
Sow Michigan Grown. Says M
A. Crop Reported Good
In Most of State.

Glover seed can now be purchased at
a relatively cheap price, for the first
time in the last four years, according to
j. F. Cox, head of the farm crops de-
partment at the Michigan Agricultural
College. The Michigan crop is in good
condition, and an excellent yield is re-
ported in most sections of the state.
eff this seed is allowed to follow the
usual market channels, much of it will
move outside the state" says Proffes-
sor Cox, "and Michigan farmers who
desire to purchase seed next spring
may have difficulty in buying Michigan
grown seed.
"Many farmers, who have been for.
ced to seed thinly for the past few
years, recognize the importance of Sc.
curing good clover crops and are buy.
ing seed from neighbors and local seed
dealers this fall. This practice is one
which the Farm Crops Department a,
M. A. G. considers an excellent one
provided the clover is well cleaned
since Michigan grown clover seed O
good condition and purity is best fol
planting in Michigan.

For that morning shave-if one would

brush, according to warning DR.. r.
M. Olin, Michigan state health COM
missioner, issued to the shaving public
today. Congress, at its next session,
will be asked to prohibit the use of
horsehair in the manufacture of shaw
ing brushes. Infection from the brush
es is introduced through the little cuts
or abrasions most men contract while
shaving, Besides this, the bristles in
the horsehair brushes are stiff enough
to make LESSONS themselves" says Mr..
Olin.

Lakeside GARAGE
To Be Open
All Winter

F. G. Craig formerly of Detroit, who
has been in East Jordan the past. sum-
mer representing the Studebaker and
Chevrolet sales, has purchased the
Lakeside garage and will establish a
permenant Studebaker sales and repair
service.
Mr.. Craig has tried all summer to Sc
cure the Studebaker agency in this ter
ritory, but did not succeed in getting il
until the latter part of August: In this
short time he has placed several cars
in East Jordan and vicinity.
Owing to the over demand of the
Light Six Model, he is uow forced to
solicit orders for spring delivery.
During the past summer he has wit
messed great difficulty in securing a
competent mechanic, but now has Sc
cured the services of Oscar Franzen OF
Chicago who has had ten years exper-
ience in garage repair work. Mr.
Franzen is now ready for work on any
and all makes of cars.
1t is their aim to give the best repair
and service that has ever been given
in this vicinity.

POTATO DEMONSTRATION
SATURDAY OCTOBER 16.

All summer B. E. Waterman, three
miles south and west of East Jordan
has been carrying on a demonstration
to test the value of various commercial
fertilizers on potatoes. Nitrogen phos-
phorus and potassium have all been
used separately and in combination. A
very noticeable difference in the vines
has resulted. Now we want to see
what is in the bottom. A number of
rows from each plot will be dug and
the yield per acre estimated. In this
way, we hope to know if the use of
commercial fertilizer is a paying prop
osition in the county. This demonstra-
ton will be open to the public Saturday
afternoon at Loo p. m. standard time.
1t is hoped goodly number of the
potato growers of the county will be
present. A potato digger will be used
SO don't be afraid to come.

PROPER STORAGE SAID
VITAL FOR POTATOES,

Economical handling and storing Of
Michigan's vast potato crop is one of
the greatest problems facing farmers OF
the state this year, according to DR.. g.
H. Coons, plant pathologist at the Mich
igan Agricultural College. Crop estim-
ates now available indicate one of the
largest potato crops produced in recent
years, and Michigan will rank second in
quantity only to New York, and second
to none in quality.
"Many factors enter into the potato
situation" says DR.. Coons, "and one
would be rash, indeed, who attempted
to advise the farmers whether to hold
or sell. 1t is likely that much of the
drop will be held for later delivery,
however, and proper handling and
storage is particularly vital for this por-
ton of tine crop"
whether the crop is moved at once
or held in storage, the farmer must ex-
ercise care in handling, protect from
frost, and prevent deterioration. A
common fault in the past has been to
injure seriously by bruises or wounds
in handling. In addition serious loss
from rotting arises from warm, moist
storage conditions.
''The cardinal principle is to provide
ventilation and to keep the tubers cool
The black heart condition which devel.
oped SO markedly last season may be
avoided if the tubers are well aerated
and do not get too warm. The potato
even at the lowest offering of this un.
certain fall market, is worthy of care
ful handling.'
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1920-10-15

AS the end OF the season approaches,
the condition of the principal crop re-
mains we'll above the average in Mich
igan. The warm, dry weather and
almost entire absence of frost during
September was generally favorable.
There was no material decline in the
prospects Of any crop except potatoes,
which are showing disappointing yields
in some important sections. Corn,
beans and sugar beets made gains the
past month, and all of the fruits except
grapes are yielding larger crop than
expected. With the exception of spring
wheat, all crops included in the Octo.
Der inquiry of the joint crop reporting
service, under the direction of Verne
II. Church, agricultural statistician, u
S. bureau of crop estimates, and Cole
man G. Vaughan, secretary Of state
are well above the ten-year average.
The truth is that men don't object tc
women's painting, provided only they
make an artistic job of il.
The man who apologies for going I,
church, always seems proud Of the fac
that his wife attends.

w. F. Empey
Passes Away
Was One of East JOrdan's
Earliest Settlers.

w. F. Empey passed away at his
home on State ST., in this city Sunday
morning, October 10th, 1920, the cause
of his death being complication OF
diseases coupled with old age.
William Fletcher Empey was one of
East Jordan's earliest pioneers. He
was born near Kingston, Ontario, Jan.
26th, 1910. He come to Michigan in
1866 and located at East Jordan i'm 1874
when this region was a wilderness and
the place as yet unnamed. He built
and conducted general store and was
the first postmaster.
Mr.. Empey was the first settler at
this point For several years he was
connected with the numbering interests
and had travelled over this part of the
state locating pine land for Toledo
firm. In 1874 he built store on the
eastern shore OF the South Arm and the
following year began putting up the
first building on the present site OF
East Jordan for a store. About this
time a blacksmith named John Vote
came along and Mr.. Empey induced
him TO locate here.
In June 1877, postoffice was estab-
lished and Mr.. Empey was appointed
postmaster. When the office was about
to be established the question of a
name for the settlement came up. Mr..
Empey sent number of names to the
department but they were rejected on
account of there being other offices OF
the same name; at last he sent among
others that OF East Jordan, which was
adopted. Mr.. Empey carried on his
store also handled wood and bark and
engaged in farming. In the fall of 1888
his store building was destroyed by fire.
He continued in business here until
1900 when he went to N. w. Canada for
few years, returning to East Jordan in
1904 in company with his brother Joseph
(now deceased) they built the Empey
Block and conducted the Empey Bros.
Furniture Store for years.
Mr.. Empey was united in marriage
to Ellen F. Brotherton in September
1879 at Petoskey; she passed away
April II, 1898. In 1909 he was united
in marriage to Hattie Smith OF Illinois,
who survives him together with three
brothers: Ephraim of Banks Township,
Antrim County, John OF near Ellsworth,
and Charles OF Lansing.
Mr.. Empey was a charter member OF
Jordan River Lodge F. G. A. M.
Funeral services were held from his
late home Tuesday, October 18th al
200 p. m, conducted by Rev. John
Duncan and under auspices of East
Jordan Lodge No. 379 F. A. M. Inter.
ment at East Jordan cemetary. AS 9
mark of esteem the business places in
our city were closed during the funer
al hour.

Auto Accident
Near Boyne City
East Jordan AutOists Escape
Serious Injury.

A rather serious car accident occurred
Wednesday night about ten o'clock, on
the Boyne Falls road, just few rods
beyond where the cement paving ends.
A Ford coupe driven by Roderick Da-
Wis OF East Jordan and occupied by
Paul Faultz, Mrs. Minnie Walker and
Miss Laura LaTarte, of this city, while
returning from pleasure trip to the
Falls, was met headon by another Ford
car, and after turning a. complete SOM
ersault landed on its radiator end in
shallow ditch.
Too much headlight is claimed by
the occupants of the coupe to have been
the cause of the accident The names
of those in the other car are known but
as none of them came forward with an
explanation, or could be located for an
interview, only one sided version of
the mishap can be recorded.
Peter Doyle, who was passing, took
the occupants of the coupe into his car
and rushed them to this city and a
physician was summoned II was found
that Mr.. Faultz had sustained a badly
bruised eye, finger and hip, Mrs.
Walker had one of her limbs so badly
cut that it took six or seven stitches to
draw the wound together; MIR. Davis
received slight cut on the head, Miss
LaTarte escaped scott free. That some
one was not killed is considered a
mircle, the coupe was total wreck.
The Ford car reported to have sported
the bright lights lost one wheel, while
all of its occupants escaped without in
jury.-The Boyne Citizen
A great deal of comment is being oc-
casioned by the automobile accident
that took place on the Boyne Falls road
last Wednesday evening, when two
Ford cars, one coupe driven by Rod
eric Davis of East Jordan, the other
reported to have been driven by Dell
Mathers of this city, and both loaded
with Boyne City young people, came
together in a head on collision. Ac-
cording to the best information obtain
able, both drivers are more or less to
be blamed for the accident itself; the
chief criticism offered is in effect that
MIR. Mathers, driving his brothers. car,
was proceeding without DINNERS and
operating the car without drivers Ii
cense.
