Beginning with the New Year we
hope that our correspondents will
send their letters oftener than they
have done in the last year. We
think that some of them have a mis-
taken idea as to the character of mat
ter to write. They should make it a
point to send items that will be of in
terest to the people who live in the
neighborhood of the correspondent.
They fail to send the news that would
be of interest to their own section,
thinking that it would not be of suf-
ficent interest. Talk and tell the
needs of your own section.

by pupils OF the Music aud Expression
departments of this we'll. known insti

duties.
When pupils play from memory .dif-

selections, and also all the other little
ones.
Misses Ava Lockard and Frances
Strange had difficult piecesi:and they
were played faultlessly. Miss Strange
also gave a reading, 1.-THE Christmas
Star" which was highly appreciated.
The rendition showed that the young
lady did not lack for talent in this
very popular line. Miss Ethel Gar
nett, in her usual happy style pleased
the audience, as did Miss Lucille
: winfrey, both young ladies recitine
charmingly. Miss Fred Harrison
who had good selection, gave it ad'
mirably. Little Louise Bennett
played like a grown person. Misse:
Rena Garnett and Frances Ballot
opened the exercises with duet, anc
and their playing was highly compli
mented. A trio, by Margaret iHynes
Sadie Mullinix and Gladys ingram
was performed charmingly. "Wher'
are You Going Young Fellow, NJ.
Lad?' was given happily by Miss Mar,
Wood Judd. Love Dreams, by Mar
gareu Clayton, and the reading, 20
Old Glory, by Kenneth Wells were de
ightfully received. The reading o
Miss Margaret Royse was humorou
and it kept her hearers in smiles M
Ships; Sandy's Romance" by Mis-
Fora Edna Bell, was given in a mos
acceptable manner-Very much enjoy
ed, and the playing of her sister, Mis-

The Editors VielU
OF Human Nature

Human nature is contrary and an
unknown quantity, and nobody has
a better chance to know it than an
editor. A Mason merchant was call
ed ION the carpet" by the income tax
man at Lansing this last week. lie
came into the office Wednesday and
informed us that he did not want
that fact chronicled in The News.
He paid no tax this last year, still
he is generally considered "well
heeled." For three weeks in success
esion he has refused to advertise a
line-in fact he has advertised just
$37:64 worth in four years and four
months-less than dollar a month.
We asked him why a little four
lined local could possibly do him so
much harm when display advertising
could do him no good in his retail
business. He couldn't explain it but
wanted his little session with the tax
collector kept quiet, just the same.
ct all comes out of the same jug,
and why should one drink have so
much more "kick" than another. J.

AUTO MECHANIC
Tells HIS STORY
Kalamazoo man had chronic con-
stipation, was bilious, had dir
zy spells and was generally
rundown. Dreco brought quick
relief,

''I've been suffering from consti-
patton for about five years it seemed
like nothing | ate digested properly,
my bowels were continually packed
and was very nervous and irritable"
said Mr.. Tony Long, a well known
auto mechanic who lives on North
Burdck ST., Kalamazoo, Mich. 81
was so bilious that my head felt too
heavy for my shoulders at times and
| felt like | was falling.
"When / got up in the morning /
had a vile taste in. my mouth, my
tongue had heavy yellow coat and
| didn't have energy enough to dress
myself. | was getting very tired of
feeling so bum when my attention
was called to Dreco the root and herb
remedy that everybody around here
was talking about.
1--WE just finished my second bottle
and | want to say this is the first
time in five years my bowels have
acted regular, my tongue is clean,
breath pure, | no longer have those
dizzy spells and my stomach feels
fine. I'm only sorry | didn't know
about Dreco before for it would have
saved me a great deal Of discomfort
and pain"
Dreco is being specially introduced
by Chas r. Murphy in Alma and sold
