THE THINGS THAT COUNT

Not what we have but what we. use
Not what we see but what we choose
These are the things that mar or bless
The sum of human happiness.
Not what seems fair, but what is true
Not what we dream but good we do,
These are the things that make war
gems,
Like stars in Fortunes diadems.
I.
Not what we take, but what we give,
Not as we pray but as we live
These are the things that make or
peace,
Both now and after time shall cease.

The Kerosene
Shunt

The flexible power of the
Hart Parr 80 is due to the
Kerosene Shunt, used exclu-
sively on Hart-Par tractors.
This simple device feeds pre-
heated fuel when the load is
light, and when the load is on
feeds cold fuel direct to the
combustion chamber, giving
an increase of 20 to Is per
cent in power just when it is
needed. The engine picks up
instantly. Our catalogue ex-
plains it fully.

UP AGAINST III

A subscriber urged the Edmore
Times to print more home news and
the retort is that "the past three or
four days we've been trying to scare
up dog fight so as to have some
thing to chronicle, but dogs are very
scarce. AS the saloons and criminal
courts are out of business, there is no
chance to chronicle murders and con-
victions. So few people attend church
it's hardly worth mentioning. So few
people are getting married the birth
notices are few and far between.
About the only news available now is
'Th". Jones took dinner with the
Smiths last Sunday But the gasoline
run out and they couldn't get over.
We might say, however, that the line
of old bachelors and their prospects
of n"c.Siage is about as good as
ever"

Interesting Series
of Good Services

Letters are being sent out this
week announcing plans for an inter-
teresting series of Sunday evening
services in the Presbyterian church
during November The general theme
Of the services will be "The Christ
We Forget" The music will be led
by double male quartette, mixed
quartette and the Sunday School Glee
Club on successive evenings. Congre-
gationa singing will be emphasized.
On the third Sunday in the month a
stereopticon lecture of unusual inter-
est will be given entitled young AL
ma 5 Problems. Students of world
movements state that in the future,
the most important event of the last
decade will not be thought of as the
World War but rather certain move
ments going on in China about which
western civilization knows little. The
lecture referred to is just off the
press and will tell of these move
ments. 1t is to be given under the
auspices of the Fortnightly society of
the church.

CANCER To Be
DISCUSSED ON
FRIDAY NIGHT
CANCER WEEK MEETING WILL
BE HELD AT THE VI. +.
CHURCH.
SGgin0lCan Is
To BE Speaker

Nationwide cancer week will have
its innings here Friday evening, when
lecture probably by Dr. James
Bruce of Saginaw, will be givers at
7;30 o'clock in the Methodist Episco-
pal church on Prospect avenue.
The death rate from cancer has
been constantly growing in the Unit
ed States and in all other countries
Of the world, it is being pointed out.
In the United States the death rate
from cancer has increased from G2.9
per 100000 Of population to S1.6 per
100000 Of population during a period
70 II years from 1900 to 1917.
Figures compiled by the state de-
partment of health in Michigan would
indicate that approximately $500
people in Michigan will die as the re-
suit Of cancer during 1921. During
the first eight months cf the year
2,1S0 people died from TINS cause in
the state.
During cancer week it is being
pointed out i'm every section of the
country that cancer is a durable di-
sease if recognized and treated in the
early stages, as the practical knowl-
edge Of how to prevent an individual
from dying Of cancer is thoroughly
satisfactory to many types Of the di-
sease, provided cancer is discovered
and treated early enough.
DR.. Peterson of Ann Arbor, chair
man for National Cancer week be-
ieves that if the public can be taught
to recognize symptoms Of cancer the
moment they appear and be i'm
pressed with the necessity Of immed-
lately securing treatment from those
skilled in this disease, the death rate
from cancer could be reduced thirty
per cent.
The speaker at the Methodist
church Friday evening will pass on
to the public many interesting points
in regard to cancer, its cause, the
symptoms, and the racossity Of
prompt treatment in cradicating the
disease.
The committee for GIatiot county
which is aiding in the work during
National Cancer week is composed Of
DR.. Wheeler of st. Louis, DR.. f. J.
Graham of Alma. DR.. I. J. Carney of
Alma, DR.. J. n. Day of Alma, DR..

THE SIDE WALK
CONSTRUCTION
NEARLY Done
BUILDING OF WALKS IN CITY
WILL CEASE VERY SOON
FOR THE WINTER.
A Large Amount
Has Been Laid

Sidewalk construction gangs have
nearly completed the work that is TO
be done in this city for the year 1921
and it is probable that another ten
days or two weeks will see the work
brought to a conclusion. Hopes are
being held that freezing weather will
hold off until the contemplated work
is concluded.
The work that still remains to be
brought to a finish is on Park avenue,
Mechanic street and on South State
street. On State street the sidewalk
is being laid from the railroad tracks
south to the bridge, closing up spot
that in the past has been muddy
one during bad weather. On Park
avenue sidewalk is being laid south
from the railroad tracks to the corner
Of Mechanic and on Mechanic street
east from Park to State, 4 distance Of
two blocks.
Work on the south side Of the city
on Marshall street, and Allen avenue,
and on the north side of the city on
Wright avenue, is just being COM
rlcted and until the fighres on the
amount Of walk laid are compiled the
totals on these streets will be un-
available.
Sidewalk has been laid on nine
streets and avenues in addition to
those named above, tabulations hav-
ing been made so that Manager Rey-
nolds is able to give the figures for
the number of square feet Of walk
constructed on these streets. The
figures that have been given are for
square feet Of sidewalk five inches
in depth. The crosswalks, which are
seven inches in depth were changed
to five inches to give a correct tabu-
laton on the walk constructed.
On Walnut avenue 1920 square
feet of walk was constructed. On
East Downie street S75 square feet
was built. On College avenue u total
of | ,060 square feet Of walk was laid.
On Fairview avenue walk was built
on both sides of the street On the
east side of this street 2,750 square
feet and on the west side another
2,750 square feet were laid. On Chat
terton avenue $50 square feet was the
total constructed. On Washington
525 square feet Of sidewalk was
built and on Liberty the amount was
/ ,2S2 square feet. On River avenue
a crosswalk that was put in figures
a total of 1868 square feet.

in a more or less critical condition;
one of these is from this city. The
aim Of this Auxiliary is to send these
boys such things as may make them

1t requires funds to carry on such a
work and "A faithful few are doing

RAILROAD EARNINGS, COTTON,
STEEL, LEATHER, COPPER,
ETC, SHOW NEW LIFE

The country is still marking time,
but all the same, the straws that
show the wind are piling up in a
pretty good-sized stack, indicating
that better times are on the way.
These straws are facts. Consider a
few of them:
The railroad earnings are improv-
ing. Car loadngs are on the in
crease. The steel industry has seen
the worst of dullness. Copper like
wise. Wooden mills are more active.
Silk trade is reviving. Leather and
hides markets are getting busy. Cot
ton prices are moving surplus cotton
stocks. The sugar industry is picking
up on higher prices. More building
and construction every day. Mer-
chandsing and retail trade respond
ing TO increasing groups of buyers.
Lumber dealers are moving their
stocks. Banks are loosening up and
beginning to support business in a
business-like way. And flood-tide
of gold from foreign countries has
placed, so far, well over $50O,000,0 900
real gold coin in American vaults.
But most important of all the signs
of which the above is only a meag-
er samples the gradual turning of
pessmists into optimists. A country
must believe in itself, and look cheer
fully toward the future, before there
can be any future worth believing in.
