Poor Yield Oats and Barley

Some Michigan farmers are
compelled to sell their livestock
herds because of a shortage of
feed, according to the weekly
Michigan crop report of Vern NJ.
Church, governmental statistician.
A good yield of sound corn is pre-
dicted and cutting and silo filling
is in progress. Three or four
weeks without frost are needed to
properly mature the potato crop
because of the delayed growth,
caused by lateness of rains.
Beans, sugar beets, clover seed
and buckwheat are doing well.
Threshing returns show very
poor yields of oats and barley.
Fall seeding of wheat and rye has
commenced and the preparation
of the ground for that purpose is
we'll advanced throughout the
state.

OBITUARY

Nelson Umphrey was born on
the 9th day of November, 1857, in
the Province of Ontario. He was
brought to the United States by
his parents when three years of
age. While young man he lived
and travelled with his parents in
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota and
Michigan.
He was married to Anna Cook
on the 7th day of April, 1880. who
has been his constant companion
all these years, and she now sur
wives him. To this union four
children were born. William F.. of
Evart, Mich. Chester W.. SYRIA
cuse, N. Y; Clarence E.. Detroit,
and Eta NJ. Bricker. of this place
all of whom are left to mourn
their loss.
1t was his desire to live to see
his children married and settled
down. The two younger children
were married just a few days ago,
Clarence on the 18th of August,
and Eta on the goth of the same
month.
Deceased was converted when
thirty-two years of age. and for
the last thirty-one years has lived
the life of devoted christian.
He was a good neighbor. true
citizen, a real father and devot-
ed husband. He was dearly be-
loved by his family and trusted
and respected by all who knew
him.
His last sickness was of short
duration, and he seemed to pass
away quietly and without much
pain, and with that same faith in
his Creator that he had for so
many years exhibited. 1t was
merely falling asleep, the passing
from a life we'll spent to a more
beautiful life beyond.
Death came without a struggle,
at four o'clock Friday afternoon,
September 9th, 1921, and the life
that so lately frightened the lives
of so many now is with that innu-
merable throng who will praise
God through eternity.
Funeral services were conduct
ed at 200 o'clock Sunday after
noon by Rev. R. M. Dodd, pastor
of the Mennonite church, and in
terment was made in Elmwood
cemetery.

Time To Watch Out

Crops are now commencing to
move all over the country, and We
may expect financial conditions to
improve rapidly. Farmers of this
entire country are disposing of a
tremendous crop, which means
more money will be put in circula-
tion during the next few months
than at any time this year. We
are all going to benefit by this,
for when the nations crops begin
to move the dollars go in all di-
rections. No one knows this bet
ter than the fake stock salesman.
The post Offices of the Thumb of
Michigan will commence to ham
die big lot of these tempting Of
fers now, and they will come
in a flood on through the fall and
winter months. 1t seems hardly
necessary to advise against drop
ping the big end of these in the
waste basket or the fire. yet there
will always be a certain element
wiling to take chances on getting
something for next to nothing
So we use up this bit of otherwise
valuable space to say to those
who get these tempting offers in
the mail--it's still as true as gos-
pei that "a fool and his money are
quickly parted"

Superintendent shall institute legs
proceedings against all subject t

who take the position that they vii
neither pay to the Trustee tn
amount assessed nor work the road
and it being the full intention O
your Road Commission that de-
llinquent Road Hands, if any there
be, shall be apprehended anc
brought to Judgement; all overseers
'are hereby reminded that their du.
ties include filing with the Associate
Members of the several Road Dis
J tricts, to be by them filed with the
Superintendent, the names of Road
Hands who, after having been given
lawful warning, have failed and re-
fused to work the roads or to pay
to the Trustee the amount assessed

1t is estimated that there will be
but a few SO lacking in public-spir-

maintenance of our public road sys.
tenn is SO essential to public welfare
and to progress as to seek to with

Diligent inquiry is being made
throughout the county by the Conn

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
To Citizens Subject to Road Duty:

40 NAtlZCuS DuDJeCC 10 NOdO Duty:
Whereas, pursuant to the author
ity in it vested by House Bill mo.
1116, Chapter 613, of the Private
Acts of 1921, creating a Road Law
for Morgan County, the County
Court fixed the Road Poll Tax for
the year 1921 at $3.50, and pro
vided that in lieu of the payment
thereof those liable to said tax be
allowed to perform twenty, seven
(27) hours of actual labor upon the
roads, and
Whereas, the Superintendent of
Roads has issued, for current year,
his Road Work Receipts to those
Road hands who have elected to
work the roads in lieu of paying
their Road Poll Tax to the Trustee,
which receipts shall be good and
sufficient vouchers to the Trustee in
lieu of the tax or road duty appear
ing upon his books against such
Road Hands. +.
Now, attention is called to the
fact that the Road Work Receipts.
of the Superintendent are but orders
upon the Trustee, and should be
presented to the Trustee, that he |
may give due credit against the in
dividual Road Poll Tax appearing
upon his books, whereupon he will
take up said receipts and issue his
receipts.
1t will be seen that in order that
the account of each Road Hand may
be closed upon the Trustees books
he shall either pay to the Trustee
the amount assessed against him,
or 6le with the Trustee his Road
Work Receipt.
That system may prevail, and un-
due confusion and inconvenience be
averted, all subject to Road Poll
Tax are urged to thus proceed. The
cooperation of the public is solicit.
ID that this matter may be given
The law further provides that the

sympathy, but that he received it.
He always stood for what he thought
to be right, and in his public life
could at all times be found fighting
for what he thought was right and
for the best interest of the COM
munity in which he lived, His life
has been such among us that it is
and will be an inspiration to the
young manhood of this county, and
is one worthy of emulation.
This county, as well as the coun-
ty where he lived, and the State
have each lost a man of great worth
and one whose place will be hard to
fill; his church suffers the loss of
man who always could be depend
ed upon, and who thought right
upon moral questions, and who
could and did make his personality
felt for the good of humanity.
We recommend that copy of
these resolutions be sent to his fam.
lily, that they be copied upon the
records of this Court, and that they
be given to the Press for publication
Respectfully Submitted.

md conscientious. He was a man
# mild disposition, the spirit of

ealings with his fellowman. No one
