To Protect Fence Buyers.
Representative S. E. Crawford is
preparing a bill to present to the
legislature providing for better wire
fencing for the farmers. Attorney J.
Fred Webb, who is also a farmer, is
a collaborator.
Some years ago the farmer was able
to buy a fence well galvanized,, but
the galvanizing is run through so
many brushes now that it is very
thin, and in a short time the steel
shows through and makes it possible
for rust to form. In a short time the
fence goes to pieces.
The bill will be framed similar to
the one now in force relative to gold,
where it is necessary to state the
karat. It is proposed to enforce the
stamping of wire in accordance to the
amount of galvanizing on the wire;
also the tensile strength according to
standards to be adopted hy the Michigan Agricultural college.
The bill will have a penalty attached for the violation thereof as
against the manufacturer and vendor.

Presbyterian Church News
Rev. W. H. Hoffman, Pastor.
Subject Sabbath morning: "The
Secret of a Successful Christian
Life."
Evening subject: ''The Signs of
the Times and How to Read Them."
Y. P. S. C. E. at 6 o'clock; subject,
"Christian Endeavor Fruit."
Sabbath school lesson: "Reverence
for God's House."
Prayer meeting Thursday evening;
subject, "What is the Bible to Us?"
The annual dinner was served at
the church on Wednesday. This is
always a social feature in our church
life and the ladies have ever made it
a great success.
Owing to the stormy weather the
attendance last Sabbath was light.
The next clear Sabbath let everyone
make it an object to be present, so
that interest in the Lord's work may
not abate.
The pastor would call special attention to the close of another fiscal
year and that the offerings for the
current expenses of the church should
he in the hands of the treasurer.
The offerings to the several hoards
of the church should be made in recognition of God's goodness and mercy.
We should stand by the local church,
but Christ is specially insistant that
we extend His kingdom abroad.
Peer Gynt, as Ibsen sketched him,
never would face a .difficulty hut always went around it. He very naturally developed a negative character
and failed signally when the test
came. It is no wonder that James
says, "Count it all joy if God puts
you to all manner of tests and trials."
It is evident that He is laboring to
make something out of you.
Charles Ficklin's lecture at the
opera house showed a broad view of
social and economic conditions and
that Christ's sympathy for humanity
rebukes all petty narrowness among
christians and. prompts them to reach
across all barriers and help the other
fellow to a square deal in all human
relationships.

The New Coins.
.After much delay in perfecting the
dies the new subsidiary silver coins
are now being minted. The designs
for the dime, half dollar and quarter
dollar that are now in circulation
were made more than twenty-five
years ago and were the same for each
of the three denominations. The new
coins, however, are of a different pattern for each of the three pieces. In
the selection of the designs for the
new, coins several noted sculptors
were commissioned" to prepare and
submit models and more than fifty
designs were submitted, from which
three sets were chosen. The designs
for the dime and half dollar are the
work of Adolph Weinmann; the quarter dollar that of Herman A. Mac-
Neill. The Citizens bank has been
paying out the new dimes and half
dollars fpr some time and now have

Rubber Plant's Winter Cure.
Rubber plants need a. sun bath every
day. Their feet should be kept damp,
but not wet The leaves should be
washed twice a week in good soapsuds
and rinsed in clear water.
When the pot gets too full of roots
repot the plant Also give it a dose of
diluted ammonia occasionally.
With regard to the housewife's potted plants generally, Uncle Sam says
she should chase the woolly white
mealy bugs and the little red. ants
away from them with a toothpick. She
may drown the red spider with a squirt
gun. If the bugs and spiders shatter
your preparedness program you are advised to "cut the plants off within an
inch of their lives and throw the cuttings away. The plants will grow again.
The green fly, which is not so green
as it looks, won't bother your plants
if yon keep them well bathed and fed.
