Blooded livestock and the experiment crop areas found the most
favor, but otber attractions sucb as
the Agricultural Building, the gymnasium and even tbe museum drew
their share. Not tbe least popular
event of the day was the basket
picnic luncb, consumed wherever
the visitors had happened to park
tbeir cars,
A iivelCock parade, in which some
of the prize horses and cattle owned
by the college were led around tbe
campus drive, proved one of tbe
most Interesting featnrea.

isl favor. Opening remarks of welcome were given by President Frank

WARNS OF FRAUD
IN ALFALFA SEED
Much Yellow Trefoil Being
Mixed With Other, Says -
Prof. Cox, of M. A. C.
East Lansing.—Much alfalfa seed
sold in Micbigan is being adulterated
with yellow trefoil, according to Prof.
J. F. Cox, bead of tbe farm crops department at M. A. C, who is receiving a large number of samples of this
plant. Coneeqnently he has warned
farmers of the state to plant none but
native "grown seed from the north*
went.
"Trefoil seed is very similar in appearance to alfalfa," says Prof. Oon
"but the yellow trefoil plant has very
small value compared to alfalfa for
forage, bence the farmer buying seed
adulterated with trefoil is directly
injured, tbe loss caused bim being in
proportion to the trefoil carried.
"Great care should be taken in
purchasing alfalfa seed to be sure
that the native grown seed from the
Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, or Utah is
planted in Micbigan. Tne Grimm,
Baltic and Cossack varieties are the
hardiest Next to tbem good northern grown common alfalfa should be
selected for Micbigan planting."

BISHOP HENDERSON
GAVE FINE ADDRESS
Community Honored By Visit
Of Noted Methodist
Leader.
Tri-County Sunday School Picnic
Tne Tri-County Snnday Scbool Association will hold a picnic and basket dinner at JSigbt Point lake on
August 11th.
A program appropriate for the occasion is being prepared and a good
time assured all.
Bverybody Is Invited to attend.
By order of Association President.
Bishop Henderson, of Detroit, gave
a splendid address at the Methodist
church last Friday evening. The
.Bishop has charge of the Detroit area,
which comprises tbe states of Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota
Five conferences are under his jurisdiction.
Bishop Henderson bas recently re
turned from an extended trip thru
Europe and is bringing to bis people
messages on subjects of world-wide
interest.
The subject of the Bishop's address
was "The Four Riders of tbe Apoca
lypse" based upon a recently published bock by tbat title. H&» dwelt
upon the allegorical allusion suggested by the four riders, altho tbe cbie!
contrast was drawn between the followers of tbe rider of the red horse
and those of the rider of the wbiif
^horse.
Tbe aims of the German government at the outset of tbe Great War
were in accord with the spirit of the
rider of tbe red horse. The Moham-
edan mind also is typical of this spirit
of war, of conquest by force; altho
Mobamedanism bas by no means a
monopoly of tbis spirit. Many nations, some institutions and many in.
dividuals are following the rider of
tbe red horse.
In contrast to tbis spirit of war is
the spirit of tbe rider of tbe wbite
borae. Tbe followers of Christ and
of His ideals of aervice conatitote
the grest army nnder the banner of
tbe rider of tbe wbite borae. Tbe
hope of the church, of tbe world,
reata upon thia army.
Tbe Biabop wove into bis address
a wealth of interesting incidents and
anecdotes of bis trip abroad. He told
of attending a reception to the King
and Queen of Italy and commented
favorably npon tbe democratic spirit
of tbis ruler wbo apent all but tbree
months of tbe duration of tbe war
on tbe front witb bis troops. He
spoke of President Wilaon's vialt to
Italy, of newspaper aelection of incidents, in connection tbere witb, and
told of the ocoaaion ot Wilaon's one
public apeecb in Rome, whicb was
not political In character bat in whicb
tbe president epoKe of bia peraonal
faitb in God and of God** providential dealinga with man. At another
time tbs Biabop characterised tbe
Peace Conference as the spending o*
a large amount of time witb little result. President Wilson had high
Ideals bat was not a good ssJssmaau
Laat Saturday afternoon Clare
county was visited by an electrto
atorm of no am all calibre, the purtien
passing over Grant township developing into s genuine hurricane. Is
dipped to the ground and tben would
raise for some distance and performed many feata tbat would require
much strength in its travel from ^
west to east.
It appears that tbe wind first
reached its furry a little west of tbe
Bowler farm and upon reaching
tbeir barns, politely took tbe ends
out of both. Tbe others in its path
came in their turn as follows:
Geo. Kapplinger, end of barn badly damaged.
H. Huescbele, large barn complete
loss.
Jobn Larman, large barn complete
loss.
Mrs. Chas. Grover, barn badly *
damaged, roof taken off.
Geo. Gibbis, barn damaged.
Chan. Lloyd, barn badly damaged,
Bilo blown down.
Hugh Henderson, silo blown down.
Henry Walter's barn slightly shaken, silo blown down.
Other property was slightly damaged.
Lightning also killed two cows for
Wm. Bruckhart.
The storm was the worst to visit
thia section of the country for many
years and while insurance' was carried in most instances it will note
be enough to cover the damage by
many thousands of dollars.
CANNING NOTES
(M. A. C. Home Economics Dept.)
No vegetable is more delicious than
sweet corn properly canned.
The cold pack method is tbe safest*
and best.
Remove husk and silk. Blanch in
boiling water five minutes on cob.
Dip in" cold water. Cut corn from
cob and pack into hot jars (one-fourth
inch from top.)
Fill jars with boiling water. Add
level teaspoon of salt per quart. Put
on New rubbers, and screw covers
down as tight as possible with thumb
and Utile finger.
Pat into boiler or canner witb boiling water over tbe top of the can and
let boil for three hours.
Remove and tighten covers.
Corn seems to give home cauaers
more trouble than do most products,
but if these rules are followed, tbere
need be no difficulty:
Select tbe eorn juet between tbe
milk and dough stage.
If one person works alone, only ji?s&
enough corn should be cut off for one
jar at a time and the jar packed at
once.
Dae to the starch present, the corn
expands a little in boiling, and therefore tbe jars should not be quite fulL
Corn should never be allowed to
remain in the cold dip water.
Be sure to sterilize cans well and
use only New rubbers.
Notice ^l
Will tbe person wbo waa seen taking full basket out of Ford car in
front of Geo. Easier'a store Saturday
night, July 23, leave the same full baa
ket at Geo. Easler'a store before Sat*
urdsy evening of thia week and avoid
further trouble by doing ao, as yon
were recognized at tbe time. After
that date you will suffer consequences**

WARNS OF FRAUD IN ALFALFA SEED Much Yellow Trefoil Being Mixed With Other, Says - Prof. Cox, of M. A. C. East Lansing.—Much alfalfa seed sold in Micbigan is being adulterated with yellow trefoil, according to Prof. J. F. Cox, bead of tbe farm crops department at M. A. C, who is receiving a large number of samples of this plant. Coneeqnently he has warned farmers of the state to plant none but native "grown seed from the north* went. "Trefoil seed is very similar in appearance to alfalfa" says Prof. Oon "but the yellow trefoil plant has very small value compared to alfalfa for forage, bence the farmer buying seed adulterated with trefoil is directly injured, tbe loss caused bim being in proportion to the trefoil carried. "Great care should be taken in purchasing alfalfa seed to be sure that the native grown seed from the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, or Utah is planted in Micbigan. Tne Grimm, Baltic and Cossack varieties are the hardiest Next to tbem good northern grown common alfalfa should be selected for Micbigan planting." American Legion News.

Tri-County Sunday School Picnic Tne Tri-County Snnday Scbool Association will hold a picnic and basket dinner at JSigbt Point lake on August 11th. A program appropriate for the occasion is being prepared and a good time assured all. Bverybody Is Invited to attend. By order of Association President. Bishop Henderson, of Detroit, gave a splendid address at the Methodist church last Friday evening. The .Bishop has charge of the Detroit area, which comprises tbe states of Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota Five conferences are under his jurisdiction. Bishop Henderson bas recently re turned from an extended trip thru Europe and is bringing to bis people messages on subjects of world-wide interest. The subject of the Bishop's address was "The Four Riders of tbe Apoca lypse" based upon a recently published bock by tbat title. H&» dwelt upon the allegorical allusion suggested by the four riders, altho tbe cbie! contrast was drawn between the followers of tbe rider of the red horse and those of the rider of the wbiif ^horse. Tbe aims of the German government at the outset of tbe Great War were in accord with the spirit of the rider of tbe red horse. The Moham- edan mind also is typical of this spirit of war, of conquest by force; altho Mobamedanism bas by no means a monopoly of tbis spirit. Many nations, some institutions and many in. dividuals are following the rider of tbe red horse. In contrast to tbis spirit of war is the spirit of tbe rider of tbe wbite borae. Tbe followers of Christ and of His ideals of aervice conatitote the grest army nnder the banner of tbe rider of tbe wbite borae. Tbe hope of the church, of tbe world, reata upon thia army. Tbe Biabop wove into bis address a wealth of interesting incidents and anecdotes of bis trip abroad. He told of attending a reception to the King and Queen of Italy and commented favorably npon tbe democratic spirit of tbis ruler wbo apent all but tbree months of tbe duration of tbe war on tbe front witb bis troops. He spoke of President Wilaon's vialt to Italy, of newspaper aelection of incidents, in connection tbere witb, and told of the ocoaaion ot Wilaon's one public apeecb in Rome, whicb was not political In character bat in whicb tbe president epoKe of bia peraonal faitb in God and of God** providential dealinga with man. At another time tbs Biabop characterised tbe Peace Conference as the spending o* a large amount of time witb little result. President Wilson had high Ideals bat was not a good ssJssmaau Laat Saturday afternoon Clare county was visited by an electrto atorm of no am all calibre, the purtien passing over Grant township developing into s genuine hurricane. Is dipped to the ground and tben would raise for some distance and performed many feata tbat would require much strength in its travel from ^ west to east. It appears that tbe wind first reached its furry a little west of tbe Bowler farm and upon reaching tbeir barns, politely took tbe ends out of both. Tbe others in its path came in their turn as follows: Geo. Kapplinger, end of barn badly damaged. H. Huescbele, large barn complete loss. Jobn Larman, large barn complete loss. Mrs. Chas. Grover, barn badly * damaged, roof taken off. Geo. Gibbis, barn damaged. Chan. Lloyd, barn badly damaged, Bilo blown down. Hugh Henderson, silo blown down. Henry Walter's barn slightly shaken, silo blown down. Other property was slightly damaged. Lightning also killed two cows for Wm. Bruckhart. The storm was the worst to visit thia section of the country for many years and while insurance' was carried in most instances it will note be enough to cover the damage by many thousands of dollars. CANNING NOTES (M. A. C. Home Economics Dept.) No vegetable is more delicious than sweet corn properly canned. The cold pack method is tbe safest* and best. Remove husk and silk. Blanch in boiling water five minutes on cob. Dip in" cold water. Cut corn from cob and pack into hot jars (one-fourth inch from top.) Fill jars with boiling water. Add level teaspoon of salt per quart. Put on New rubbers, and screw covers down as tight as possible with thumb and Utile finger. Pat into boiler or canner witb boiling water over tbe top of the can and let boil for three hours. Remove and tighten covers. Corn seems to give home cauaers more trouble than do most products, but if these rules are followed, tbere need be no difficulty: Select tbe eorn juet between tbe milk and dough stage. If one person works alone, only ji?s& enough corn should be cut off for one jar at a time and the jar packed at once. Dae to the starch present, the corn expands a little in boiling, and therefore tbe jars should not be quite fulL Corn should never be allowed to remain in the cold dip water. Be sure to sterilize cans well and use only New rubbers. Notice ^l Will tbe person wbo waa seen taking full basket out of Ford car in front of Geo. Easier'a store Saturday night, July 23, leave the same full baa ket at Geo. Easler'a store before Sat* urdsy evening of thia week and avoid further trouble by doing ao, as yon were recognized at tbe time. After that date you will suffer consequences** Mra. Charles Ott.
