FARMERSMNSTITUTE
The   Coming Winter io be
The Best Ever.
ABLE SPEAKERS.

The officers of the Glare-Isabella
Institute Society are starting in early
to make arrangements for tho best
institute ever held here. Only preliminary announcement can be made
at this time, but the publio will be
informed from time to time concerning the matter.
Everyone recognizes the value of a
good live institute. So clearly is
this felt in educational circles that
all teachers are taxed to sustain
these for their benefit. The state
has done very well in the way of
appropriations to aid farmers along
this time. With farmers, more perhaps than any other olaBB, such
gatherings seem desirable and necessary. They are isolated and not
able to meet fellow workers and compare notes as those following most
other callings are able to do.
President Kennedy has furnished
ns the following preliminary announcement: "Afc a meeting of the
offlcers of the Olare-Isabella Par-
mere' Institute held Saturday, October, 25, the following vice presidents
were selected to represent their various districts, to help in the publicity
work and to endeavor to create interest in the coming session: Hatton, Wm. Smith, Mrs. O. Durfee;
Grant, Richard Emerson; Vernon,
John Brown, Walter White, Mrs.
Wm. McKay; Wise, Mrs. John Lansing; Isabella, Henry S. G. House;
Gilmore, Alvin Glass; Surrey, T. U.
Fuller; Hayes, Judge Arthur Long.
A most interesting and instructive
program has been arranged, composed of state and local speakers.
Among the state speakers asked for
are Joseph E. Wing, Mr. Clapp of
the M. A. 0., Mr. Voorhus and Mr.
Pattengill. It is to be regreeted that
Isabella could not see fit to make an
appropriation of S25 to help pay expenses, for this loses to us the appropriation so generously granted by
our own public spirited supervisors.
In spite of this handicap, the officers
are going ahead and planning to bold
the most beneficial and interesting
gathering • ever held. It simply
means that we must have the cooperation of all progressive farmers.
Make yourself a committee of one
and boost. The offensive feature of
asking for 'a membership fee' is to
be eliminated if the officers have to
dig up expenses themselves. Plan
to attend. There will be something
instructive for everyone.
Hease Remember.
In anything we havB felt called upon to say concerning law enforcement in the past or may in the future
the personal element itt noway enters. There ia not a man living toward whom we have other than kindly feeling and to whom we would do
good if we could. Criticism is never
agreeable business. It is far more
pleasant to commend, bnt there
sometimes pome occasions in life
When one must do disagreeable
things if he would   respect himself.
And we hold emphatically that no
man has the slightest reason to complain because he is compelled to obey
the law. Society can exist on no
other theory. If a man can ignore
one law, the next man oan do the same
With another and civil society is at
an end. There* is no hocus poous
about this matter. It simply means
anarchy and no one should be anxious to Mexicanize this country.
There is no class of business men
to whom so drastic a law is applied
as to the newspaper publisher. Not
only must he make and file a sworn
statement concerning his business,
but he must publish it to the world.
And this law was thought necessary
because a few men prostituted their
columns to improper uses. We think
the law is unjust but so long as it
is on the state books ifc is the duty of
publishers to obey it. Any man who"
assumes the air of a martyr because
he is compelled to obey the laws
should stop to consider that he is doing a most exceedingly silly thing.

The
The Clothes, Not The Men.
Nofc many years ago, a young man
had to go to the tailor if he wanted
a Buit of clothes that was right in
every way—one that had both quality and style. Nowadays, nearly
all men young and old wear ready
made clothes not because the men
are different, but because the suits
are.
Wilson-Davy sell the well known
Styleplns clothes, made to satisfy
the best dresser, but sold afc a price
within the reach of everyone, and
at a uniform price the world over.
The price and full particulars are
given in their ad.
NOVEMBER SALE
*
Opens At Wm. H* Bieknell's
Store Tomorrow Morning.
As appears from the attractive
double page ad, at the inside of this
Issue, Wm. H. Bicknell begins tomorrow another of the record breaking sales for which this store has
become famous,
The sale starts tomorrow* Nov, 1st,
and lasts throughout the month of
November. All departments of the
store are included in this special
event, and an examination of the
articles offered will Bhow that reduced prices are quoted in nearly every
line.
It might be well to call attention of
prospective buyers to the phrase
which is so often repeated toward
Christmas time, ."shop early." The
first visitors to the big Bicknell store
will have the best variety to select
from.  Later buyers will find some
styles already taken.

For years we have heard of operations being performed now and
then upon some person who had received an injury to the head, causing
a pressure upon the brain which produced insanity or some other abnormal condition. It was currently reported that "Black Bart," the noted
highwayman of Upper Michigan was
thufc transformed from a bloodthirsty
monster to a mild and t'raotable human-being.
But now we are informed tbat this
same remedy is to be applied to the
elimination of criminal tendencies
and moral deficiencies. Just now
four have been operated on by Dr.
Pratt of Evanston 111., at the instance of Judge Bridgeman of the St.
Joseph, Mich., circuit who announces
tbat hereafter he will not sentence
anyone convicted in his courts of
moral crimes to penetentiaries or
insane asylums until the knife has
had an opportunity to regenerate the
mind affected. Two of those who
went under the knife are brother and
sister, both under 20 years of age.
If the operation succeeds in overcoming their moral weakness the
charges pending against them will
be dismissed. Dr. Pratt declares
that the operations will not destroy
any organ or function of the mind or
body but merely remove abnormal
conditions affecting nerve centers.
Certainly every one will be deeply
interested in the success of this experiment. If the surgeon's knife
can cure moral ills, there IS surely a
wide field for its use.

that we have placed the books' on

boards must buy the books because
they'include tbe 'required work in

representatives, and suggest that district officers be warned also against
him. He has secured orders in a

FARWELL,
DELICIOUS SANDWICH.
Commissioner Helme Discusses
a Fine New Variety.
 5	
Mr. Helme rises to remark that
with the approach of winter the
dairy cowb will be stabled and the
dairy inspectors will be entering
barns all over tbe state and too often
they will find a peculiar kind of sandwich which, for want of a better
name, he calls" a "fertilizer sandwich." It consists of a cow in the
middle with a slab of fertilizer on
each side. Now the genial commissioner declares himself a firm be
liever in fertilizers but thinks the
place for them is the field and not
the sides of a cowv Moreover when
the milker comes more or less of tbis
fertilizer is transferred to the milk
pail and thence to the city man's
stomach.
The moral to be drawn from -the
story iB that the dairy man shonld
provide the cow with a Btall that will
render this kind of business impossible, and he can get full information
on that point by simply writing the
dairy department. The stall is not
patented, any farmer can make it,
and it costs less than any other form
of stall. Just drop a postal to the
State Dairy and Food Department
at Lansing requesting a description
of thiB stall and full directions will
be sent.
Purity  Sunday.
- On another page appears, tbe proclamation of Gov. Ferris appointing
Sunday, Nov. 9, as "Purity Sunday."
in recognition of the fact that the
international Purity Congress will
then be in session at Minneapolis.
Well does the governor say that the
people must everywhere be aroused
and brought to an appreciation of
the full meaning and importance of a
single standard of virtue.

D. Lyford arrived in Olare to begin
his work as pastor of the Congregational church here, and the following
day, preached his first regular sermon to an interested audience.
* Since that time the work of that
church has gone steadily forward,
special effort having been made to
advance the work of the Sunday
school and young people's societies.

assistant, being head of the primary
department in the Sunday school,
and also taking the responsibility of
acting as god-mother to all small
children whose parents are connected in any way with that church.
Mr. Lyford also takes much interest in musical work, being somewhat of a singer himself, and believes

A SMALL COLLISION
But With Very Painful Results
After AIL
The old fashion hand car whose occupants must "pump" ib along was
not a fasfc affair but had- at least the
merit of being safe. The application
of gasoline power enables the crew to
get along more rapidly and easily
but not always so pleasantly. On
Tuesday the section crew of the
Harrison Branch was sent west on
the main line for work and did nofc
reach fchis city on the return till after
dark. „ A lead man from Evart with a
similar carriage was going west on
his way home. Neither had a light
and some 80 rods west of tbe depot
they met, the cars suddenly stopping
of course while the occupants continued on their journey in rather pro-
miscous fashion. Dan Wilson and
son, VanWormer and Oromer of the
crdw and Lineman Oassady were all
injured more or less. A telephone
message brought Dr. Mussell with
auto to the Bcene, the men were taken
to his office and made as comfortable
as possible.

Wm. H. Oaple, our hustling re

that is worth talking about. That
portion of the Doherty farm In Vernon lying on the West side of the-
highway running south from here
was s'old to Walter W. Oaple of Alma,
The tract comprises 360 acres and*
the consideration is in the neighbor--
hood of $49,000 for farm and stock.
Mr. Page, the late owner, takes over
.the stock of the Oaple Hardware Co.
at Alma and will remove to that city.
It is the intention of the  new proprietor to make tbe farm a breeding
place for pure bred registered stook.
Recognising the fact that this is already a great dairy section and rapidly developing more and more along
that line, a herd Of high gr^Holsteins-
will be at once placed on the farm,
also   from 200 to 300   hogs,   Later'
horses will be added and perhaps-
other lines.
A. B, Caple, another brother, has*
at Toledo, Ohio, a dairy herd of 100'
Holstein cows and receives fancy
prices for all stock sold. This herd ,
will form the basis for operations
here and the Vernon farm will have
