When in heaven in joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Weep not that his toils are over

God grant we may rest as calmly
When our work like his is done.
Till then we yield with gladness
Our father to him to keep,    .
And rejoice in the sweet assurance,
He giveth His loved one sleep.
Earth has lost it's look of gladness
Heaven seems to us more bright,
Since the spirit of our dear father
Took'his happy homeward flight.
And we long to cross the river,
Long to rest upon- that shore,
There to see and know and love him,
With the Savior and our loved ones
gone before.

John Robinson's Circus and Trained Wild Animals, the oldest, biggest
and best, now on its 100th tour of the
North American continent will pay a
visit to Mt. Pleasant in the near future, being scheduled to appear there
on Wednesday, August 22, afternoon
and night.
The mention of the John Robinson's Circus and Trained Wild Animals arouses the light of found memories in the eyes somewhat dimmed
by advancing years, as it is the show
of our grandfathers, and' fathers
and. is the oldest white tent organization on the fact of the globe.
With more elephants, more jungle
beasts, more clowns,, more spangled
folks, a three-ripg two arena performance and a longer parade—so
read the posters—the old favorite, in
new garb and with an entirely new
offering of arenic and'aerial display
and trained animal features, will be
with us soon.
Few people realize the work that
must be done before the twelve acres
df canvas that houses the John Robinson Circus teach day is hoisted into
the air. For five weeks before the
day of exhibition men are constantly passing through the city—general
agents, advertising car agents, brigade agents, billers lithographers,
bannermen, press agents and twenty-
four, hour men. Each has a certain
task to do,, and the result of their
labors is that the show .moves into
the town and unto the circus lot without a hitch.
Michigan pens continue to h'old all
honor places at the end of eight
months running in the International
Egg Laying Contest, being held under
the direction of the poultry department at the Michigan Agricultural
College. Not only are the state birds
holding the first five places in the
contest, but they top the section fo*r
each breed, making a clean sweep
for the Michigan entries.
Birds have been entered from 12
states and Ontario and Quebec, as
well as from all sections of Michigan.
The entries total nearly a thousand
hens.
The Michigan White *Leghorns,
Which recently came from behind in
the contest, now hold top honors
among the different breeds, the first
five leghorn pens standing ahead of
any pen*of another breed.
Extremely warm weather conditions during the past few weeks have
resulted in a slight increase in-production, noticeable in all the breeds,
acording to E. C. Foreman, head of
the M. A. C. poultry department and
general manager of the contest. Witn.
the most strenuous part of the contest still ahead the staying power of
the birds will determine largely the
standing of the various pens at the
close of the contest on November 1.
Leading pens in the contest are
closely grouped with the exception of
the first place birds. Ten White
Leghorns entered by Elmer E. Shaw.,
of South Haven, with a production
mark of 1808 eggs, hold first honors.
A White Leghorn pen belonging to O.
S. Thompson, of Allen, scored highest for the past week with 57 eggs
and gained second place in the contest with 1666 eggs, having a scant
2 egg lead over,the pen of Leghorns
owned by the Northland Farms, ot
Grand Rapids. This pen holds third
place with 1664 eggs.
George B. Ferris'_ pen, of Grand
Rapids, and W. C. Eckard's entry, of
Paw Paw, both White Leghorn pens,
have gained a place on the honor list
and' hold fourth and„fifth places.
The total production in the contest is 123,064. eggs.

MAKE HAY FEVER
.   RESERVATIONS NOW
Numerous inquiries are . received
by the Michigan Department ot
Health pertaining'to centers in Michigan free from hay fever. Writes
one interested, "I shall appreciate
any data you can^send me -or refer
me to showing the location of districts in Michigan where hay fever is
absent. A group of women who usually suffer from hay fever wish to find
a place for the summer where they
may be free from the affliction."
Says another one, "I am subject to
ragweed hay fever and wish your
opinion on hay fever resorts in Michigan. I have been told that Manistee
is free from hay fever but want to be
sure that this is true. Also, how
about Frankfort, Glen Haven, North
Port and Traverse City."
These are but eloquent examples of
the increasing attention unfortunate
hay fever victims are according their
annual affliction They have suffered
needlessly and there is no reason
why they should continue to do so,
95 per cent of all hay fever victims
suffer from the autumnal variety,
caused by the ragweed which pollinates, in August and September
Hence the localities recommended
by the Michigan Department of
Health are the ones known to be free
from ragweed, They reneive prime
consideration.
FIRE DEPARTMENT BUSY
The city fire department's chemical
apparatus was called .into service twice
Tuesday afternoon. First, fire in the
woods surrounding the Ramey slaughter house threatening it and other
nearby building just east of the"' city
which blazed wag soon under control
by the firemen and neighbors "Who
volunteered their services. Hardly
had they returned to the city when
another-call for help came in from
Ezra Coblelgh, one mile south of the
city. The ■ response was made but
found no apparent danger, as; the fire
was confineu to the Archie Miller
woods.
^Again Wednesday evening the siren
issued a call for 'help' and they found
an automobile on fire and also the
ground around the gas pumping; station at the Thompson' & Wilkinson's
store. The blaze caused by the careless habit of a-»»tourist lighting a
match to see how full his gas tank
was, was quicluy extinguished by i
portable chemical, without much damage to the car. The response was
made in 2% minutes.
NINETY PER
CENT OF WHISKEY
IS POISONOUS
This is Statement of Author-.
ity About Liquor Sold
in City of Detroit?
Detroit, Mich., July 30.—Ninety per
cent of the whiskey sold in Detroit an"
throughout the middle west as coming
from Detroit is Synthetic lipuor.made
from denatured alcohol extracts and
other concoctions, colored, flavored,
bottled, labeled .and .stamped so that
only a chemist ^cah detect the dlffer-
erence between this poisonous stuff
an the real article. People throughout the state of Michigan and adjoin
ing states seem to think as long as
their liquor comes from Detroit that
it must be, a product of Canada. Th.is
statement is based upon seizures and
other cases made by James R.. Davis,
Federal Prohibition Director in the
past two years and the "Dry Navy"
operating in the Detroit river has' un-
doubtly intended for use in the manufacture of whiskies.
The Moonshine Special
* The moonshine special was the nick
name given to the train which this
week brought * thirty-eight prisoners
to the Detroit house of correction
from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, under charge of U. S. "Marshal Brown
of Western District of Michigan, as
the result of convictions had in a term
of court just closed there.
Ninety-Eight Percent of 40,000
Samples of Liquor Poison
The chemical division of the prohibition unit in Washington reports
that 98 percent .of 40,000 samples
analized were imitations pf whiskey
and totally unfit to drink. While allowance may be made for exaggeration in estimates' of the amount of
such stuff consumed, that there are
people who are drinking these forms
of poison more or less rapid in its
working certainly stamps the consumers as possessing less intelligence than they might be disposed to
claim for themselves. Folks who demand pure food, who.would balk at
drinking milk that they have reason
to suspect is tainted, who would not
touch water in which typhoid bacilli
are suspected to reside, seem in many
instances to lose judgment when it is
liquor that offered them.
Sunstroke and Liquor
The passage of the prohibition laws'
eliminated most of the danger from
sunstroke." A large part of these who
develop heat stroke of one kind or ,
another now are people who evade
the prohibition law and who indulge
in moonshine and home brew. However the conditions under which
home brew is consumed do not make
for sunstroke. -The old custom of
"rushing the growler'" while at work
and drinking beer as a means of
quenching the thirst was the largest
factor in-heat stroke."—Dr. W. A.
Evans, Chicago Daily Tribune.
States Doing Their Part
States East and West are hitting
the booze business harder than ever,
New York excepted. Pennsylvania has
just passed a state enforcement law
Oklahoma makes it a felony to own
a still. Ohio passes two drastic bills
to strengthen enforcements. Indiana
and Colorado enact stronger- enforcement law. Illinois debates whether to
make bootlegging punishable »by imprisonment of from One to fourteen
years. Nebraska ;and Missouri are
favoring new • prohibition legislation,
and bills making it murder to sell or
give away liquor causing death, are
being considered in several states.
There is ho wavering In prohibition
sentiment '"among those who do the
voting. Hence the aridity of the legislatures.—-Editorial Cappers Weekly.
How Prohibition has Ruined
American  Shipping
* Prohibition, you remember, was to
ruin 'American shipping. No regular
:guys were going to • use American
ships after they ceased to be saloons
Nevertheless, just listen to this: A
certain high official of tne emergency

President Harding, would have first

sailing in June. He found everything
