SUCCUMBED TO HEAT.
Geo. Badfley of Sheridan  Died
Last Saturday.
A noted Frenchwoman on being led
east to execution on beholding tbe
guillotine exclaimed "O Liberty,
wbat crimes are committed in thy
aame!"
The Dairy & Food Commissioner
at tbe present day and age on beholding tbe various "pure food shows"
aad "pure food departments" in
newspapers and tbe self-constituted
"pure food sanitarians" migbt
exclaim "O Pure Food, wbat grafts
are committed in tby name"
Just now one of tbe schemes is be
Ing worked through Michigan whicb
to the writer seems to be merely a
bold op upon milk producers.
Tbere appeared in Lansing a short
time ago a gentleman by the name of
Stuart T. Toad whu uuo» himself
^expert milk sanitarian " So far aa
we are able to learo, Mr. Todd's
experience in milK lines is that ne
waa formerly engaged in newspaper
work. He baa not a position and
never bas been on the inspection
force of any Health Board or Dairy
& Food Department but his prlu-
cipai job seems to be to milk tbe
miik producer. Just bow Mr. Todd
selected Laneisg for bis scene of
.operation Is not known except tbat
Sa tbe Lansing Journal of July 18th
appeared this statement:
"Stosrt T. Todd expert milk sanitarian, has just completed for the
(State Journal a ten days sanitary
eorvey of the dairies and milk plants
.■applying Lansing."
Todd's operations seem to be ae
follows: He was in Lansing four days
instead of ten. He visited the principal dairies and distributers supplying miik and milk products. He informed them that after inspection be
found tbem all rigbt and solicited
an ad for the Lansing Journal. A
full page of these ads was published
in tbe Journal July ISth. Tbese ads
coat the dairymen S265. Several
dairies were inspected and passed as
"good" by Mr. Todd but were refused recognition in tbe paper by
name because tbey refused to put up
money for an ad.
The bad part of this proposition is
that peopie wbo refuse to advertise
and wbo have good dairies, were virtually placed on tbe black list
by the newspaper in question. Several dairymen wbo advertised said that they did so because it
was cheaper than to explain to 200 or
SOO customers wby they were not
officially endorsed by tbis great "sanitarian " The largest advertiser and
milk distributer had only bis milk
plant inspected. Contrary to the
statement of the Journal, no dairies
supplying this plant were inspected
by this great "sanitarian." The
Creamery tbat was inspected by tbis
great "sanitarian" and given a
"quality" standard had just been
Ordered to clean op by tbe Dairv &
Food Department and at the time of
tbe great sanitarian's inspection had
no fly screens to protect its product.
A local ice-cream man was offered
an ad for t'-:5 but when be refused
to pay, a competing firm io anotber
City was given tbe ad without inspection

In farm dairiea approaches ideal
eooditiona. We wiab to warn dalry-
men and producers of milk products
generally not to fail for this kind of
hold-op Tbis man has no official
connection witb tbe Dairy & Food

Michigan He ia not entitled to go
ea tbe premise* and makamspectioos.
His Inspections, of course, are value-
lees. If any dairy man wishes to advertise tbe condition of bis product
and premises, tbe Dairy &. Food Department will be glad to make an in-
epection without charge and give
thsm a proper and truthful certificate
under its official seal. Do not be
bled by traveling strangers without
authority and wbo are not now In tbe
business for tbe public health but for
tbeir private profit. It would be in
teresting to know what the percentage of division was between this milk
sanitarian and tbe newspapers tbat

"The principal cause of the 'pork
barrel!,' "says Congressman Gorman,
"is the aba* see of » budget svstem,
and until such a system is adopted tbe
'pork barrel' method will continne.
Sooner or later we must adopt business methods in appropriating public
funds "
Congressman Gorman will show
bow representatives come to congress
witb this plea: "Tbere are two factions back wbere I live. One bas tbe
postmaster. I wanttheotber to bave
this site. It will make better feeling
all tbe way round "
Or anotber aaye, "I waa elected witb
tbe understanding tbat tha government would buy that site. Won't yon
belp me get it?"
Wbat tbese pleaders mean, aa
shown by Congressman Gorman, is
tbat certain influential people, or factions, control particular locations and
must be permitted to make a nice
profit by Selling them to tbe government for public buildings As a consequence the government ia being
continually swindled, as was tbe case
when it was persuaded to buy a post-
office site in Seattle for $169,000, wbicb
was found, upon examination, to be
under seven feet of tide water.

There mnst be great rejoicin' on   tbe
Golden Shore today,
An' tbe big an' little angels   must   be
feelln' mighty gay,
Could   we look  beyond  tbe   curtain
now I fancy we abould see
Old Aunt Mary  waitln'.  smilin',   for
tbe coming that's to be.
An'   Little Orphant   Annie   an'    tbe
whole excited pack
Dancin' up   an'  down   an'   sboutin':
Mr. Riley's comin' back!
There's a hesp o' real sadness in this
good o d world today,
Tbere are lumpy throats this morning now tbat Riley's gone   away;
There's a voice now stilled forever
tbat in sweetness only spoke,
An'whispered words of courage with
a faith that never broke.
There is much cf joy and laughter
that we mortals here wil! lack.
Hut the angels must be happy now
tbat Riley's comin' back.
The world was  gettin'   dreary,   there
was too much sigh an' frown
In this vale o' mortal strivin', so God
sent Jim Riley down.
An' He said:   Go there an' cheer 'em
in your good   oid   fashiored   way
With your songs of tender sweetness,
but don't make your plans to stay
Coz you're needed   up   in   Heaven,   I
am lendln' you to men
Juat to help'em with your music, but
I'll want you back again."
An' Riley came,   an'   mortals  beard
tbe music of bis voice
An' tbey caught his songs   o'   beauty
an' tbey started to rejoice;
An' tbey leaned on him in sorrow,
an' tbey  ebared   with  him   their
joys
An' they walked witb him   tne   pathways tbat tbey knew   wben   they
were bo> s.
But the Heavenly angels missed  him,
missed ins tender,   gentle   knack
Of   maSin'   people    happy,   an'    they
wanted Ri ey back
There must be grjat rejoicin'  on   tbe
streeis of Heaven today
An' all   ilia   angel   chilareo   must   be
tr.jopio' down toe way
Singiu' Heavenly   songs   uf   welcome
an' preparitr  now to greet
The soul to.it God bad tinctured witb
au everl&S'iog sweet;
The world is robed in aedueas  an'   is

But joy mus    reign   in   Heaven   now

Dear Editor Andrus:
We are having a most delightful
vscation, one whicb we wish might
be shared by all our friends in Clare
who so kindly made it possible for
us. Our "auto" trip from Olare
through central Michigan by way of
Lansing to Montgomery, Hillsdale
Co., waa a most delightful one. The
roads were fine, most of the way, and
we came to tbe concinsion that tbe
season if rainy, is destined to be a
very fruitful one. Never bave I seen
such great wind-rows of bay as tbis
year, and all rropa are looking weil
in the Southern counties of Michigan.
In Lansing there was every sign of
thrift and prosperity. Thsnk God,
there were no open saloons to store
us in tbe face, and we enjoyed
tbe splendid eigbt of beholding the
old north Lansing Brewery, being
tranformed   into   a  part  cf   a   great

CURRIE BOOSTERS
Will   Speak   In   Clare   Saturday
Afternoon.
A definite plan for building up tbe
sandy-land farm ot northern Indians,
southern Michigan, or northwestern
Ohio is outlined ln Farmers' Bulletin
No. 716 just issued by tbe U. S. Department of Agriculture. Tbe Department specialists have found a
way by which tbe sandy-land farm*
of tbat section can be built up, at tbe
same time returning a profit. Tbe
remedy proposed for existing difficulties may be summarized very
briefly:
"Grow 60y beans or cowpeas—flrst
for seed and later to feed live stock."
Tbe production of one or the  otber
of these legumes for   seed   is  offered)
as the first   stage   in   a  development
tbat   ultimately   leads  to profitable
general farming.    The sale  of   seede

it is suffering somewhat from tbe
effects of tbe iniquitous Home Rule
Bill which haa restored the saloon in
Garrett only four miles away. Temperance people here declare that the
passage of that saloon conceived and
brewery-supported measure has put
back tbe temperance cause here for
at least fifteen years.
Announcement comes from Midland
that tbe "Currie for Congress" Club
will visit this city iu tbe course of a
trip through this locality, reaching
here about 4 o'clock next Saturday
afternoon.
According to reporcs of a similar
trip through Midland County, the
meetings which these Currie boosters
address are enthusiastic ones. Mr.
Dow, head of the chemical plant there
is one of the speakers. 8 B. Gordon
is another. Pros. Ray Hart is reported to bave pnt a tent circus out of
business over at Hope witb his big
bass voice. A quartet furnishes
music.
The way in which Midland people
are pushing Mr. Currie's interests
augurs will for hia victory in the
August primaries.
I hope it   may   be  overwhelmingly , rotation ofcorD, eoy beana
defeated in Michigan next   fall.
tbe foundation of soil improvement
is laid by tbe legume  crop  itself.
"Soy beans and cowpeas," saye
the bulletin." are pro Stable caeh crops
on the poorest of these sandy lands,
tbe yields ranging from 5 to2Cbushels
per acre, and tbe present range of
prices being from $!.60 to 92 00 per
bnsbel. Aside from being a source
of immediate income, tbe crops
furnieb tbe most practical foundation
for building up the soul.''
Briefly, this is tbe system of farming proposed:
First stage.—Oontinoos cropping
with soy beans or cowpeas. One tft
tbese crops is grown for seed on the
available farm area not needed for
growing necessary bay and corn. A
catch-crop of rye is used between
crops of soy beans or cowpeas and
plowed under in tbe Spring before
tbe new crop is planted. This program may sometimes be modified
with profit   by   following  a two-year
or  corn,
