The surplus that you have from time to
time ought to be made to work for you, so
that your burdens may grow lighter.
The man with heavy burdens would give
much to lighten them.
A sure way to do this is to capitalize the
result of your labor.
When you have a savings account started
you also have started an income that will
make your burdens lighter. Let us help you."

MICHIGAN EQUAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.
After the cheering victory of last
November we are now ready for the
next step which will enable us. to
use our- new-found freedom.
The Michigan victory was next to
the largest and most successful the
National Sufferage Association has
chronicled, and we cannot afford to
lose this prestige by the failure of
our women to register.
First of all let me impress upon you
the necessity of keeping our organization intact. Since we have "been
successful, many organizations o'her
than suffrage, are trying to swallow
us by merging -with them, and such
action would not only weaken our state
organization, but as the state" loses in
numbers the National. American Woman Sufferage association is weakened also. Our affiliation with the National is important to the future
plans of that body, and our representation in the National is based up;-
on our state numbers; the greater our
organization numerically, the greater
the number of delegates we are en
titled to have at the National Suit-
age Convention. But there is another
phase-to which I desire to call your
attention, and that is that unle^si women are REGISTERED they will be
unable to vote upon ithe candidates,
and the light wine and beer amendment which will come before the people in the April election.
Be sure to get out and register before February 11 if possible. Clergymen, school teachers and editors are
urged to impress upon their congregations, pupils, and readers the patriate duty and possibilites of REGISTRATION.
In your county the candidates upon
which you can express yourself by
voting will be:
County Auditor
Two Justices of the Supreme Court.
Two Regents of the University.
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Member of the State Board of Education.
Two Members of the State Board
of Agriculture.
State Highway Commissioner.
Our schools and our courts are of
importance to every woman in the
state.
THE MICHIGAN EQUAL SUFF-
AGE ASSOCIATION IS ABSOLU'ilElA'
NON-PARTISAN IN ITS POLICY.
Please make this attitude very clear
to all the women. Every woman is
free to choose the party with which
she cares to affiliate. It is not necessary to declare her party allegiance when she reg'sters, but she
must do so on election day.
A plan of citizenship iniformaition,
couched in simple language, is being
prepared which will serve as a suggestion for study classes or circles
for all women's organizations desiring same.
It is hoped that every woman in
this community will feel the importance of this initial, step of REGISTRATION.
WOMEN'S   REGISTRATION
Qualifications for Voters in Michigan:
Every citizen of the United States,
twenty-one years of age and upward,
who has resided in the state six
months and in the township or ward
in which he or she offers to vote
twenty days next preceding election,
is eligible to vote in- Michigan.
Women Who May Register to Vote.
Any unmarried woman twentyrone
years of age and over, born in the
United States.
Any unmarried woman, foreign
born, twenty-one years of age or over,
who has been nafturalized.
Any married woman, twenty-one
years of age or over, regardless of
where she was born, whose husband
is an American citizen.
Every voter must have lived in the
state of Michigan for six months
prior to the date of the election, and
must have lived in .the ward in which
he or she voted twenty-one days prior
to the date of the election.
Every woman must register regardless of whether slie has heen registered to vote for school board or anything else before this time. This
means that every woman, legally
qualified to vote, must register.
A woman cannot vote if she is married to an alien. When she marries
an alien, even though, she was born
in this, country, she loses her citizenship, and becomes a citizen of the
country of "which her husband is a
subjject.
A woman cannot vote if she is foreign born and is the daughter of a
foreign citizen, who became a citizen
after she was twenty-one years of
age.
What the Woman Who Cannot
Tote Should So.
If you are the wife of an alien,
have your husband go to the county
clerk's office, ire. the county huilding,
or to the city hall, and start citizenship proceedings.
If you are unmarried, and were
"born in a foreign country, start citizenship, proceedings.
Tour city clerk "will either register
the women or tell you where it is to
be done.
Citizenship Questionnaire.
Many of the newly made citizens of
Michigan will appreciate some suggestions for informing themselves as
to our stajte and natioanl governments and their duties in regard
thereto, and the following questions
are offered:
What qualifications of voters are
required as to age and length of res-
dence in voting district and state?
What is meant by registering?
What is the purpose of the primary?
What is meant by a "general" election?

AN OLD-TIME FRAUD
M. A. C. Exposes Fake "Medicine" for
"Sick" Fruit Trees.    .
An old-time fraud in the form of a
"pewder" for inoculating fruit trees
against diseases, has appeared in the
state again, the department of horticulture of M. A. C. has been advised.
"It is claimed that if orchardists
will pay a fee and have their trees
'doctored' with a certain powder, the
trees will become immune from all
diseases and from the attacks of insects," declares Prof. H. J. Eustace.
"The treatment recommended is that
a hole be bored in the tree to be treated, this hole to be filled with the
'medicine' the theory being that this
'medicine' will then be taken up by
the sap and distributed to the trunk
and branches, making them immune
to all troubles. This is nonsense and
owners of orchards are warned again
to be on guard against spending money with persons promoting this fraud."

doing everything imaginable to kill
time, let us appreciate the Sabbath
day and keep it as God intends we

"I canna see oot," said a Scotch
woman to her husband in the deep
forests of Canada. "No," he replied,
"but ye can see up," as he pointed to
the blue heavens. The outlook for us
may be dark but the uplook is always
bright; if things of the outer world
are forbidding and foreboding, -we can
catch glimpses of the glories of the
npper realm * and the encouraging
smile of our Saviour.
Willing Workers' Meeting
The Willing Workers held their annual chicken pie dinner last Thursday at the home of Mrs. David Gordon. About severity-five were present
arid all reported having had a very

It's just impossible to please everybody, says the Lowell Ledger. For
years people have been asking "Why
in the blankety blank don't you stop
the paper when the time is up." And
now that we have complied with government orders to do that very thing,
others ask, "Why in the jumping jingoes did you stop my paper?"- Oh.
well! as David Harum said, "A* certain amount of fleas is'good for a dog;"
and so it may be with the publisher

'VIIAT THE 'HOME TOWN"
3IEANS  TO  THE FARMER.
When you offer a farm for sale, here
iow is the ifirst question asked: "How
"ar is it from town?" and "How big
s the town?"
Few, people fully realize the value
of the home town. Among other
hings, a good town will about double
he price of all the farm land near it.
A prosperous home town means
nore to the farmers around it than
t does to the town people themselves.
Compare the size of your farm with
he small amount of land owned by
myone in town. When town property increases a few dollars a lot, farm
-alue increases several dollars per
acre, and it totals up big.
The old idea of "a town is one thing
and the country is another," is out of
date. A town is merely a trading
roint for a certain radius, and limited
inly by the buondary of the territory
served.
Get acquainted with the people living in ' town—trade with men you
know. Help build up your home
town, because a good home town
means dollars in your pocket every
day and every year you own property
near it.
The Vastness of Siberia.
Siberia, that great lone land about
which there is now so much discussion, is so vast that the imagination
•an hardly grasp its extent. A vague
idea of its size may "be gained from
the statement that it is fortyf-five
iimesthe size of the British Isles,
ind contains nearly five million square
niles. In all. this enormous territory
there is a population not exceeding
that of the City of New York. There
are hundreds of thousands of* square
miles that are entirely unjnhabitated.
It is a land of mighty rivers, but the
v*alue of these rivers for purposes of
lavigation is grer-fy restricted, because most of them flow into the Artie Ocean and throughout their low-
n* courses are ice bound for the great-
r part of the year. The steppes of Siberia now almost uncultivated, are
destined it is said, to become the
granary of the world. Their development begun with opening ofthe Trans-
Siberian railroad, has been interrupted by the war.
ADVERTISING IS NOT "HOT AIR"
We have often wondered what became of all the old tin cans, but now
we begin Ito bell "ve that they are
making them over into safety razor
blades.—Chelsea Standard.
'Ther day we overheard three fel-
lowtownsmen discussing, understand
me, DlScussing the weather, one
said, "My isn't this warm weather
great?" the second replied, "well,
you'll see we pay for it later," and
the third remarked, "pay for it! we
paid for three warm winters like this
last winter.".—Tekonaha News.
How advertising makes the differ- :
erce between turnovers and left overs, :
is explained by S. Roland Hall, author .
of "Short Talks on Retail Selling":     j
"There  are several   falis'e   notions
about advertising," says Mr. Hall.
"The most common one probably is ■
the idea that manufacturers advertise j
"or Ithe purpose of creating a little hot
air about themselves and just tack on i
the cost of the advertising to the^price '
of their goods. Consequently retail I
dealers are often heard to say:
" 'I'd rather you would cut out all '
the advertising and give me a better
profit'    This notion is helped along j
considerably by salesmen   represent- 1
ing nonadvertised lines or brands who :
drop around and say:    'We don't advertise and so we can make you a
price lower than that of the advertised brands.'
But We're All After 'Em. j
Editor Robinson of Union "City made i
a very eloquent attack on the filthi- i
ness of our paper money and says ;
that a laboratory test riot long ago
revealed 22 distinct disease-breeding;
germs on one bank note. Granting (
this to be perfectly true, yet Brother t
Robinson along with the rest of the j
country scribes, including Old Man '
Wildman of Tekonsha, Old Frank Dar-:
| mon of Colon and the guy who guides j
the destiny of the Athens Times, 1
would be perfectly willing, nevertheless, to take their lives in their hands !
if they could have the opportunity of J
carrying around- about 22000 or more j
germs, all comfortably housed on one- j
dollar greenbacks.—Athens Times,    j
