Russell Harford Roller was born in

Harrison, showing a Rrod degree of
interest at each and a desire on the
part of those in attendance to ba\e j
another next year.
The following officers were then
elected for the ensuing year: Pres
dent, W. H. Kennedy; vice-president, Julius Sehaeffer; secretary,
Norris A. Elden; treasurer, Lucius
M. Converse. Norris A. Elden was
elected delegate to the "Round l*p"
at Lansing.
At the afternoon session I". 1.". Fuller of Farwell ^ave a whistling solo
and then Conductor Taylor took up
the disenseion of "Tbe Dairy Cow
and Her Care\" He considers the
dairy business batter for tbe average
farmer than producing beef. It can
be nicely combined with other things
and furnishes a steady income. Selling milk alone be thinks poor business. The best dairy cow is the one
that will iske raw material and turn
it into butter or cheese prod acts at
the greatest profit. The two chief
factors in successful dairying are the
man and the cow. The mac must
like the business and mast have correct ideals. Any of tbe dairy breeds
is good. There is mncb in families
of any breed and mncb in individuals.
Develop the cow from a calf. Give
proper food. Attend to the proper
development of tbe ndder. Feed
sparingly tbe first day after calving.
Don't milk an old cow clean at first.
•Such a proceeding invites milk fever. Gradually increase the feed of
grain until the cow is on full feed.
See that tbe cow has water twice a
day at least, better if it is in the
stall where she can help herself. Of
coarse tbe stable should be ventilated as thoroughly as possible. King
system best bat not practicable for a
small barn. It goes without saying
tbat there should be scrupulous
cleanliness in everything connected
with dairying. The cow must be
treated with kindness at all times if
best results are expected.
The subject was briefly discussed
by R. E. Hood, who emphasized
some of the points Mr. Taylor had
made. He questioned whether one
farmer in ten made any profits on
his cows.
Marketing problems was then taken up by Mr. McBride. He is a ]
scholar and a thinker and one must
expect to get down to close thinking
to follow him at ali. Tbe farm surveys made by the federal government
in tbe best farming states prove that
agriculture is not adequately compensated. Bulletin No. 41 of the
agriculture department is most conclusive in the fact tbat on tbe smaller
farm, after giving the farm a fair investment rate, the labor income of
tbe farmer is not as much as hired
labor. Prof. Anderson of our Agricultural college has made careful estimates of tbe cost of milk production around Grand Rapids, and tbe
absoluute cost of milk covering one
year is 15 cents a gallon, or around
tl 80 a hundred. Prof. Galloway of
Cornell says that by all fair means
the farmer should have 8 to 10 times
the return for his labor, as measured
by tbe return of 40 years ago.
Something like a half century ago.
farming was largely a means of livli-
hood, that is, the farmer largely was
the consumer of hi* only products.
The dweller on the Blue Ridge mountains now is largely the type of
farmer common at tbat day. Wben
the change came, agriculture became
tbe basis of all industry. Farmers
are now, as they were then, individual in production and selling, as
they were in purchasing for consumption. The raw material that
■tarts at tbe farm, sold individually
and returned ae a finished product
and sold individually to the farmer,
bae traveled the circle and sold at
prices above coet of handling to
everyone but the farmer.
Here le the fundamental defect, individualism competing with collectivism. The remedy naturally
would be co-cperstlon or coliectiv-
thee, Russell, but we know
happy and we hope again
with
thou art
to .meet
thee where there shall be no parting.
The funeral was held at tbe Town

Territorial Government.
The territory of Michigan was then
in 1796 in tbe first stage of government prescribed by the ordinance of
17S7. Arthur St Clair waa its governor and was tbe first governor under wuom Michigan was placed. In
the year 1798 the Northwest Territory-
was placed under what was called tbe
second stage of Territorial government. The county of Wayne then
embraced the entire state of Michigan, and waa asked to send one delegate to the general assembly of the
Northwest Territory held at Cbilli-
cothe: and the election of this delegate was tbe occasion of the first
election within what was then know
as Michigan.
Now a word as to the "Ordinance
of 1787." It was the "Mayna charta"
ot the northwest, drafted by Nathan
Dane of Massachusetts, who deserves
the highest honors of bis country,
both for his wisdom and patriotism.
Sec 2 of tbis ordinance provides for
the right of Habeas Corpus and trial
by jury, equal representation of tbe
people in tbe legislature, and judicial proceedings according to common law, all fines to be moderate
and no harsh or cruel punishments
should be indicted and otber important items for the general welfare.
Sec 3 provides that religion, morality and education shall always be encouraged. Good faith always to be
observed in ali dealings with the Indians and a fair equivalent given in
return for lands or other property
purchased of tbem. (I am afraid this
condition was not always observed.)
AU persons dying intestate should
have an equal division of their property, share and share alike among
all tbe heirs except tbe widow; thus
doing away with tbe English system
of entailment ot property to one to
the exclusion of others. There was
to be no "code of honor" descending
from father to son. Right of property in slaves forever excluded, and
no person condncting bimself in a
peaceable and orderly manner to be
molested on account of bis mode of
worship or bis religious sentiments.
It will be seen at once tbat a government placed on such a foundation
must be permanent.
Tbe ownership of the lands of tbe
territories, whether by ihe states or
by the federal government, became
an exciting theme for statesmen a
few years afterward and led to the
famous debate between Hayne of
South Carolina and Webster of Massachusetts, tbe former holding to
"state rights" and tbat tbe wild lands
should be divided among the states
in proportion to their inhabitants,
and Webster contending that tbe
wild lands were tbe rigbt and legal
property of tbe federal government
and tbat on no other basis could the
union of states be preserved. The
national congress took this view of
the case, so tbe Northwest Territory
instead of being sliced up to be added
to the domain of tbe several states,
was, as soon as each section bad
gained a sufficiently large population
erected into sovereign states each on
a par with the older states. Michigan was made a separate territory in
1806 with Gen. Wm. Hull as governor
but she had to gain a good deal in
population before becoming a state.
Difficulties as to boundary bad to be
adjusted and this led to a "near war''
with Ohio.
The difficulty waa however agreeably settled and a bloody war averted, but there were many causes for
delay. Indian wars, no roads and
then tne war of 1812, all retarded the
growth of the territory.
In the year 1805 Michigan commenced its separate existence as a
territory. Tbat portion lying east
of a north and south line through the
middle of Lake Michigan was formed
into a distinct government by act of
congress passed that year, while on
the west it included Illinois, Indiana,
Wisconsin aud Iowa.
Capture Two Games.
Last Friday evening tbe high
school basket ball team went to

Common Council Doings.
At the regular meeting of tbe Common Council Monday evening, only
a few matters came up for attention.
W. J. Holmes, engineer at tbe water works, asked and wae given a
raise of *5 00 per month. A petition
was presented asking tbat all persons
| who peddle milk in tbe city be re-
| quired to pay a yearly license of

I L. Hubble the regular milk dealer
I who feels that he is obliged to meet
unfair competition in selling at the
same price as those residents of the
city who keep a cow or two a»d supply a tew customers each. The ma'-
ter was referred to the ordinance
committee.
Several visitors were present, expecting that the light question would
be discussed, but were informed of
tbe citizens meeting to be held
Thursday evening.

Elden was elected delegate to the "Round l*p" at Lansing. At the afternoon session I". 1.". Fuller of Farwell ^ave a whistling solo and then Conductor Taylor took up the disenseion of "Tbe Dairy Cow and Her Care\" He considers the dairy business batter for tbe average farmer than producing beef. It can be nicely combined with other things and furnishes a steady income. Selling milk alone be thinks poor business. The best dairy cow is the one that will iske raw material and turn it into butter or cheese prod acts at the greatest profit. The two chief factors in successful dairying are the man and the cow. The mac must like the business and mast have correct ideals. Any of tbe dairy breeds is good. There is mncb in families of any breed and mncb in individuals. Develop the cow from a calf. Give proper food. Attend to the proper development of tbe ndder. Feed sparingly tbe first day after calving. Don't milk an old cow clean at first. •Such a proceeding invites milk fever. Gradually increase the feed of grain until the cow is on full feed. See that tbe cow has water twice a day at least, better if it is in the stall where she can help herself. Of coarse tbe stable should be ventilated as thoroughly as possible. King system best bat not practicable for a small barn. It goes without saying tbat there should be scrupulous cleanliness in everything connected with dairying. The cow must be treated with kindness at all times if best results are expected. The subject was briefly discussed by R. E. Hood, who emphasized some of the points Mr. Taylor had made. He questioned whether one farmer in ten made any profits on his cows. Marketing problems was then taken up by Mr. McBride. He is a ] scholar and a thinker and one must expect to get down to close thinking to follow him at ali. Tbe farm surveys made by the federal government in tbe best farming states prove that agriculture is not adequately compensated. Bulletin No. 41 of the agriculture department is most conclusive in the fact tbat on tbe smaller farm, after giving the farm a fair investment rate, the labor income of tbe farmer is not as much as hired labor. Prof. Anderson of our Agricultural college has made careful estimates of tbe cost of milk production around Grand Rapids, and tbe absoluute cost of milk covering one year is 15 cents a gallon, or around tl 80 a hundred. Prof. Galloway of Cornell says that by all fair means the farmer should have 8 to 10 times the return for his labor, as measured by tbe return of 40 years ago. Something like a half century ago. farming was largely a means of livli- hood, that is, the farmer largely was the consumer of hi* only products. The dweller on the Blue Ridge mountains now is largely the type of farmer common at tbat day. Wben the change came, agriculture became tbe basis of all industry. Farmers are now, as they were then, individual in production and selling, as they were in purchasing for consumption. The raw material that ■tarts at tbe farm, sold individually and returned ae a finished product and sold individually to the farmer, bae traveled the circle and sold at prices above coet of handling to everyone but the farmer. Here le the fundamental defect, individualism competing with collectivism. The remedy naturally would be co-cperstlon or coliectiv- thee, Russell, but we know happy and we hope again with thou art to .meet thee where there shall be no parting.

The territory of Michigan was then in 1796 in tbe first stage of government prescribed by the ordinance of 17S7. Arthur St Clair waa its governor and was tbe first governor under wuom Michigan was placed. In the year 1798 the Northwest Territory- was placed under what was called tbe second stage of Territorial government. The county of Wayne then embraced the entire state of Michigan, and waa asked to send one delegate to the general assembly of the Northwest Territory held at Cbilli- cothe: and the election of this delegate was tbe occasion of the first election within what was then know as Michigan. Now a word as to the "Ordinance of 1787." It was the "Mayna charta" ot the northwest, drafted by Nathan Dane of Massachusetts, who deserves the highest honors of bis country, both for his wisdom and patriotism. Sec 2 of tbis ordinance provides for the right of Habeas Corpus and trial by jury, equal representation of tbe people in tbe legislature, and judicial proceedings according to common law, all fines to be moderate and no harsh or cruel punishments should be indicted and otber important items for the general welfare. Sec 3 provides that religion, morality and education shall always be encouraged. Good faith always to be observed in ali dealings with the Indians and a fair equivalent given in return for lands or other property purchased of tbem. (I am afraid this condition was not always observed.) AU persons dying intestate should have an equal division of their property, share and share alike among all tbe heirs except tbe widow; thus doing away with tbe English system of entailment ot property to one to the exclusion of others. There was to be no "code of honor" descending from father to son. Right of property in slaves forever excluded, and no person condncting bimself in a peaceable and orderly manner to be molested on account of bis mode of worship or bis religious sentiments. It will be seen at once tbat a government placed on such a foundation must be permanent. Tbe ownership of the lands of tbe territories, whether by ihe states or by the federal government, became an exciting theme for statesmen a few years afterward and led to the famous debate between Hayne of South Carolina and Webster of Massachusetts, tbe former holding to "state rights" and tbat tbe wild lands should be divided among the states in proportion to their inhabitants, and Webster contending that tbe wild lands were tbe rigbt and legal property of tbe federal government and tbat on no other basis could the union of states be preserved. The national congress took this view of the case, so tbe Northwest Territory instead of being sliced up to be added to the domain of tbe several states, was, as soon as each section bad gained a sufficiently large population erected into sovereign states each on a par with the older states. Michigan was made a separate territory in 1806 with Gen. Wm. Hull as governor but she had to gain a good deal in population before becoming a state. Difficulties as to boundary bad to be adjusted and this led to a "near war'' with Ohio. The difficulty waa however agreeably settled and a bloody war averted, but there were many causes for delay. Indian wars, no roads and then tne war of 1812, all retarded the growth of the territory. In the year 1805 Michigan commenced its separate existence as a territory. Tbat portion lying east of a north and south line through the middle of Lake Michigan was formed into a distinct government by act of congress passed that year, while on the west it included Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin aud Iowa. Capture Two Games. Last Friday evening tbe high school basket ball team went to Marion, playing a close aad highly exciting game with the boys there, coming through with a victory by a 20 to 19 tally. At tbe same time tbe reserves met the "Y" team from Marion here aad Common Council Doings. At the regular meeting of tbe Common Council Monday evening, only a few matters came up for attention. W. J. Holmes, engineer at tbe water works, asked and wae given a raise of *5 00 per month. A petition was presented asking tbat all persons who peddle milk in tbe city be re- quired to pay a yearly license of *5 00 The petition was started by I L. Hubble the regular milk dealer I who feels that he is obliged to meet unfair competition in selling at the same price as those residents of the city who keep a cow or two a»d supply a tew customers each. The ma'- ter was referred to the ordinance committee. Several visitors were present, expecting that the light question would be discussed, but were informed of tbe citizens meeting to be held Thursday evening. THE PRIMARY.
