The Ann Arbor railroad calls attention to tbe great difficulties under
whicb railroads are now laboring
an 1 the efforts tbey are making to
counteract t_ese. While over four
□billion cars are needed to move the
-•rain crops, all the roads have less
than two and one half million and of
the**e only one million are box cars.
Passenger service has necessarily
b3fin curtailod, something like 25,000-
000 passenger miles having been already cat out since the war started.
Tbe roads will be called upon in the
near future to move 6*0,000 soldiers
which will be a serious tax on tlieir
resources.
Yet with all the increased demands
upon them, tbe r jads have claimed
exemption f'ir thfir employees only
to a very limited extent.

Business Change.
—_—_—_—
Valmour Armour, who left yesterday (or service in tbe National Army
hae sold his garage businest", building Included, to Tudor Sohnnk who
ajspk possession a few days ago. Wo
_.«_ informed tbat ha will look after
the office and of tbe place himself.
When ore has made every effort to
respond to tne call of his country
and worked frurn early dawn till late
at nixht, plowing, fitting, planting,
cultivating, and then have all his
work undone in one nigbt by frost,
there is little one can say tbat will
relieve the pan_s of disappointment
and mitagate the discouragement
tbat the farmer experiences upou
gazing at his blastedlcorn and blackened beans and potatoes. We do
know this to be true; the men who
are making Care County, who take
the land in the rough and stay by it
year after jear, constantly improving
their farms, are men with determina
tion to succeed. Their greatest
enemy, frost, can destroy their crops
but it cannot kill tbat determination.
Tnose upon whom so much depends, the farmers, have received a
temporary defeat but already there
is evidence of a renewed desire to do
as asked; increase tbe food supply.
Your Country asks you to do this;
plant all available acreage to wbeat or
rye. Plant the varieties experts bave
found to be tbe best, treat the seed
for smut, plant and trust in God for
tbe harvest. It is advisable and
most important tbat all corn tbat is
fit for Seed be properly selected and
stored for that purpose. Keep all
you can, not just enough for your
own needs, the supply will be short
at best. Select by hand the beans
which were ripe when the frost came.
Use these for seed and ic this way
develop an early maturing strain.
Select, hill by bill, the •roit smooth,
even running potatoes, f.-^e from
desease, for next ye<*x** plan'. ing and
store properly. Yoa are justified in
assiug a price for seed purpose. commensurate with the trouble you have
gone to and work you have done.
Prices fixed for buying supplies for
tbe camps will est-tblist. a general
market price but quality will count
more than ever. Your Country asks
an unfailing faith in the Administration. And tbe nation knows the
Michigan farmer is "doing his bit."
W. H. Kennedy,
Oounty Agent.
The officials of the Clare County
fair on Sept. 2_, 27 and 28, seem to he
putting forth unusual efforts this
year to provide entertainment for
those who go. Tbe slogan wbicb
they have adopted "If in doubt what
day to attend, go Thursday. Friday
will take cere of itself," seems to in-
• Ueato That they have confidence iu
tbeir ability to satisfy everybody.
One wise move bas been made in
not spending several hundred dollars
for horse races lo the attempt to secure fast horses. Tbe same money
will provide for the several farmers'
races, etc, and have considerable left
for free amusements aud otber
interesting features. And we believe there wili be enough doing to
suit anyone during the two days —
Thursday aud Friday.
Thursday bas been designated as
Clare-Farwell day, and there is a
move on foot to close all business
places in tbe two towns cn that afternoon so that the people can go up in
a body. We hope this v/ill succeed.
Such a thing wiii accomplish a great
deal for Clare County, and all ought
to help. A special train goes up at
twelve o'clock for the benefit of
those who wbo do not prefer to drive.
Goods prizes are offered for exhibits of all kinds, and tbere will
doubtless be a good display from
various parts of thecounty. Ex-Gov.
Warner will speak on Friday.
CLARE CO. WOMEN
Asked
To Knit For Soldiers.
Time Is Short.
As mentioned last week, Mrs. S.
A. Gleason now bas yarn and instructions for knitting for our soldier
boys.
This county has been asked to pro
vide in this way for 100 sweaters, 100
rcu.Tlers, 10b pairs of socks aad 100
pairs of wristlets,—enough to keep
many lingers busy for some time.
All are asked to help in this work,
and are urged J o do so at once, as
tbese articles will be needed as soon
as cold weather arrives. Some time
will of course be consumed in getting
them into the soldiers' hands after
they are completed.
You will be glad to have done "your
bit." it wiil help most if you do it
at once.

A "boiled down" course in agriculture, in wbicb the usual fonr years
work will be whittled down to. 32
weeks, will beoffered at tbe Michigan
Agricultural college on October 29 for
tbe benefit of farm boys of the state.

or-iessldirectly practical elements of
tbe college work, will be given the
attending students.
The time for the abbreviated term

tbat it will give boys from the c*aun-
try a chance to drop into East Lansing wben tbey can best be spared
from the farm. Thus tbe 32 weeks
course wi 1 cover a period of two
years, the first It; weeks' work to be
given between October 29 and March
1 of the ".coining winter (1917*1918),
and the second IR weeks to be at the
same time iu 1918-1919, so that men
starting on October 29 this year will
be graduated at tbe end of February
1919, though ali told tbey will be required to spend only 32 weeks in
East Lansing.
Young men who would like to
know more about the "capsule"
course bave been asked to write to

in Wabash Co., Indiana, Sept. 10,
**■■".. died wbile visiting the place of
her birtb, Sept. 10, 1917, at the age of
53 yesra.
Mis*" Tatman was united in marriage to Chester M. Bates in March,
1882. To this union was born 5 children, one daughter, Iva, preceding her
to the spirit world 3 years ago.
Mrs. Bates, witb ber husband, was
converted and united witb the Churcb
of God at tbe Eagle, wbere they both
became pillars in tbe cburcb until
about ten years ago, when tbe deatb
messenger called ber husband from
labor to reward, after whicb sbe continued faithful to the trust imposed
upon ber until tbe end peacefully
came.
Sister Bates returned to tbe bome
of ber birtb to visit relatives and
friends, and to attend tbe Purdy
family reunion, wben suddenly tbe
grim messenger t-slled ber to join
husband and daughter in a greater
reunion than earth can give.
Her last words were spoken witb a
smile of satisfaction. Sue knew ber
race was run and victory over sin,
deatb, and the grave was complete
through Jesus, her Savior and King.
Her trust being In God, tbe precious
Redeemer, placed an eternal smile
upon her face, which tbe ravages of
deatb conld not remove.
Sister Bates was tbe first one of a
family of eleven children to be called.
Her presence in the Tatman family
reunion will be sadly missed, aleo her
vacant place in tbe church and community. But greatest of all, sbe will I Wheeler
be missed in tbe home, wbere she! Clare 1st Ward, Edward Hawkins,

The yearly appropriation hill was
the chief business before the council
Monday evening. The ordinance
wbich was adopted providing for this
tbe annual tax levy carries a total for
ali funds of $16,366.50 somewhat
more than was raised last year.
However, tailing into consideration
tbe incrceased school tax and tbe
$1000 in tbe sinking and interest fund
to take care of tbe first water works
bond next year, tbe amount is no
greater.
After some discussion, .500 was
placed in the buget to cover the cost
of Home Guard uniforms, as it was
felt that ali property owners would
benefit by the protection wbicb tbis
organization affords to tbe city. The

Crops Better Than Promised
Some Time Ago.
Washingbton, Sept. 7.—A phenomenal corn crop and crops of wbeat
and oats millions of bushels in excess of the rosiest expectations of
a month ago were fcrcast today by
the department of agriculture.
Cnless killing frost comes, the core
crop wili be 123,000,000 bushels in excess of any previous yield and will
be excellent, sound grttin of tbe highest food value. Even witb early
fro"__s there still wili be a vast production of tbe staple, tbe department
promises.
The wheat crop is to be 15.000,000
busbels in excess of the August forecast. Dismal forebodings of failure
of the American wheat crop, which'
were voiced early iast summer when
weather conditions were unfavorable,
have been completely discredited.
The yield of all wbeat wiil be 668,-
000,000 busbeis, the department says.
Total production of spring wheat is
estimated at 250,000,000 busbeis,
against the August forecast of 216,-
000.000 bushels and a 1911-1915
average of 264,000,000 bushels. Yield
per acre is estimated at 13 1 bu6hels
against the December estimate of 8 8
busbeis and a 1911 1915 average of 14
bushels.
Total production of com, September forecast, is 3.2-18,000,000 pusbels,
against tbe August forecast of 3,191,
000,000 bushels. Yield per acre is 26 8
busbeis against the December esti-
mata of 24.4 bushels and a 1911-1915
average of 26.0 bushels.
Total production- of oats, September forecast, is 1 533,000,-00 busbeis,
against an August forecast of 1,45*i,000,
000 busbeis, and a 1911-1915 average
of 1,230,000,000 bushels. Yield per
acre 35.5 busbeis. against the December estimate of 30 1 bu-shels, and a
1911-1915 average of 31.7 bushels.

The Ann Arbor railroad calls attention to tbe great difficulties under whicb railroads are now laboring an 1 the efforts tbey are making to counteract t_ese. While over four □billion cars are needed to move the -•rain crops, all the roads have less than two and one half million and of the**e only one million are box cars. Passenger service has necessarily b3fin curtailod, something like 25,000- 000 passenger miles having been already cat out since the war started. Tbe roads will be called upon in the near future to move 6*0,000 soldiers which will be a serious tax on tlieir resources. Yet with all the increased demands upon them, tbe r jads have claimed exemption f'ir thfir employees only to a very limited extent. OPENS WEDNESDAY SELECT SEED With Care For Planting Next Year.

Their plans were also *_*t_nrpri-e to the rest of the family. Refreshments were brought and served at a late hour, the evening being spent io a social way with plenty of merriment. MAPLE GROVE Gives Soldier Boys Farewell Party. -.romour Maple drove correspondent. On Saturday evening about 63 of the friends met at tbe home of J, Tiedeman for a farewell party for tbe boys of tbis neighborhood wbo are called to Battle Creek tbis week. The evening waa spent in singing, magic and social chat, refreebments In tbe form of ice cream and cake being served. After singing "t'od be with yon till we meet again" good wishes were given the boys and all returned to tbeir homes witb tbe faeiing tbat tbey had passed a very pleaeant and prof.table evening. Business Change. —_—_—_— Valmour Armour, who left yesterday (or service in tbe National Army hae sold his garage businest", building Included, to Tudor Sohnnk who ajspk possession a few days ago. Wo _.«_ informed tbat ha will look after the office and of tbe place himself. When ore has made every effort to respond to tne call of his country and worked frurn early dawn till late at nixht, plowing, fitting, planting, cultivating, and then have all his work undone in one nigbt by frost, there is little one can say tbat will relieve the pan_s of disappointment and mitagate the discouragement tbat the farmer experiences upou gazing at his blastedlcorn and blackened beans and potatoes. We do know this to be true; the men who are making Care County, who take the land in the rough and stay by it year after jear, constantly improving their farms, are men with determina tion to succeed. Their greatest enemy, frost, can destroy their crops but it cannot kill tbat determination. Tnose upon whom so much depends, the farmers, have received a temporary defeat but already there is evidence of a renewed desire to do as asked; increase tbe food supply. Your Country asks you to do this; plant all available acreage to wbeat or rye. Plant the varieties experts bave found to be tbe best, treat the seed for smut, plant and trust in God for tbe harvest. It is advisable and most important tbat all corn tbat is fit for Seed be properly selected and stored for that purpose. Keep all you can, not just enough for your own needs, the supply will be short at best. Select by hand the beans which were ripe when the frost came. Use these for seed and ic this way develop an early maturing strain. Select, hill by bill, the •roit smooth, even running potatoes, f.-^e from desease, for next ye<*x** plan'. ing and store properly. Yoa are justified in assiug a price for seed purpose. commensurate with the trouble you have gone to and work you have done. Prices fixed for buying supplies for tbe camps will est-tblist. a general market price but quality will count more than ever. Your Country asks an unfailing faith in the Administration. And tbe nation knows the Michigan farmer is "doing his bit." W. H. Kennedy, Oounty Agent. The officials of the Clare County fair on Sept. 2_, 27 and 28, seem to he putting forth unusual efforts this year to provide entertainment for those who go. Tbe slogan wbicb they have adopted "If in doubt what day to attend, go Thursday. Friday will take cere of itself" seems to in- • Ueato That they have confidence iu tbeir ability to satisfy everybody. One wise move bas been made in not spending several hundred dollars for horse races lo the attempt to secure fast horses. Tbe same money will provide for the several farmers' races, etc, and have considerable left for free amusements aud otber interesting features. And we believe there wili be enough doing to suit anyone during the two days — Thursday aud Friday. Thursday bas been designated as Clare-Farwell day, and there is a move on foot to close all business places in tbe two towns cn that afternoon so that the people can go up in a body. We hope this v/ill succeed. Such a thing wiii accomplish a great deal for Clare County, and all ought to help. A special train goes up at twelve o'clock for the benefit of those who wbo do not prefer to drive. Goods prizes are offered for exhibits of all kinds, and tbere will doubtless be a good display from various parts of thecounty. Ex-Gov. Warner will speak on Friday. CLARE CO. WOMEN Asked To Knit For Soldiers. Time Is Short. As mentioned last week, Mrs. S. A. Gleason now bas yarn and instructions for knitting for our soldier boys. This county has been asked to pro vide in this way for 100 sweaters, 100 rcu.Tlers, 10b pairs of socks aad 100 pairs of wristlets,—enough to keep many lingers busy for some time. All are asked to help in this work, and are urged J o do so at once, as tbese articles will be needed as soon as cold weather arrives. Some time will of course be consumed in getting them into the soldiers' hands after they are completed. You will be glad to have done "your bit." it wiil help most if you do it at once.

A "boiled down" course in agriculture, in wbicb the usual fonr years work will be whittled down to. 32 weeks, will beoffered at tbe Michigan Agricultural college on October 29 for tbe benefit of farm boys of the state. Ir. the short course the cream of tbe four-years term, embodying tbe more or-iessldirectly practical elements of tbe college work, will be given the attending students. The time for the abbreviated term bas been eo'farranged by M. A. C. tbat it will give boys from the c*aun- try a chance to drop into East Lansing wben tbey can best be spared from the farm. Thus tbe 32 weeks course wi 1 cover a period of two years, the first It; weeks' work to be given between October 29 and March 1 of the ".coining winter (1917*1918), and the second IR weeks to be at the same time iu 1918-1919, so that men starting on October 29 this year will be graduated at tbe end of February 1919, though ali told tbey will be required to spend only 32 weeks in East Lansing. Young men who would like to know more about the "capsule" course bave been asked to write to the president of the college, in East Lansing. PATRIOTIC Demonstration At Mt. Pleasant To-day.

Margret Belie, daughter of Elijah and Elizabeth Jane Tatman was born in Wabash Co., Indiana, Sept. 10, **■■".. died wbile visiting the place of her birtb, Sept. 10, 1917, at the age of 53 yesra. Mis*" Tatman was united in marriage to Chester M. Bates in March, 1882. To this union was born 5 children, one daughter, Iva, preceding her to the spirit world 3 years ago. Mrs. Bates, witb ber husband, was converted and united witb the Churcb of God at tbe Eagle, wbere they both became pillars in tbe cburcb until about ten years ago, when tbe deatb messenger called ber husband from labor to reward, after whicb sbe continued faithful to the trust imposed upon ber until tbe end peacefully came. Sister Bates returned to tbe bome of ber birtb to visit relatives and friends, and to attend tbe Purdy family reunion, wben suddenly tbe grim messenger t-slled ber to join husband and daughter in a greater reunion than earth can give. Her last words were spoken witb a smile of satisfaction. Sue knew ber race was run and victory over sin, deatb, and the grave was complete through Jesus, her Savior and King. Her trust being In God, tbe precious Redeemer, placed an eternal smile upon her face, which tbe ravages of deatb conld not remove. Sister Bates was tbe first one of a family of eleven children to be called. Her presence in the Tatman family reunion will be sadly missed, aleo her vacant place in tbe church and community. But greatest of all, sbe will I Wheeler be missed in tbe home, wbere she! Clare 1st Ward, Edward Hawkins, always wielded a christian influence, Frank Forbes.

The yearly appropriation hill was the chief business before the council Monday evening. The ordinance wbich was adopted providing for this tbe annual tax levy carries a total for ali funds of $16,366.50 somewhat more than was raised last year. However, tailing into consideration tbe incrceased school tax and tbe $1000 in tbe sinking and interest fund to take care of tbe first water works bond next year, tbe amount is no greater. After some discussion, .500 was placed in the buget to cover the cost of Home Guard uniforms, as it was felt that ali property owners would benefit by the protection wbicb tbis organization affords to tbe city. The total to be raised ior eacb fund foi iows herewith: Crops Better Than Promised Some Time Ago.
