of the fields so handled serves as a
email experiment station to those
who live near by, and in that way all
the farmers in the given district are
treated to a course in agriculture at

Saginaw County in our own state is
now urging something of this kind,
and if tbe planB are carried out, a
crop expert will be brought into the
county, the board of supervisors
baving already appropriated S700.00
for the purpose of starting such an
oraanization. The U. 8. Government
oeems to have selected that county
for putting into effect some reeent
legislation along this line, part of the
fiieceBsary funds coming from this
oourca.
• The matter ifj one of great importance to the people who till tbe soil,
and we hope the farmers of this community will not be slow to encourage
any effort toward increasing the output of their land. The experiment

opinion in opposition to all tbe ways

It is stated in the charge that led to
Dr. Brodeur's arrest that he   gave
two prescriptions for liquor on one
day to the man who filed the complaint and another prescription  to
the same man on the following day.
It is within the power of doctors in
"dry"   counties   whose    conscience
will permit them  to do so to very
greatly hinder the success of the local

in Michigan has been patient with

The Beulah Buck Quartette,
,. Tbe second number of tho ente*>-
tainmenfc cdnrse on Wednesday evening was a success and all are load in
their praises of the manner in
wbioh tbe ladies acquitted themselves. It was advertised for tb^
Congregational church, but it wittft '
evident at an early hoar that greate**
seating capacity would be demanded,
and the Methodist church was used
instead. Practically every deat" in
the body of the church was filled and
nearly half the galleries. A number
came from Farwell and from the surrounding country.
Without going into details, We believe the quartette fully justified all
tbat has been said in their praise.
There was no affeotation in their performance and they all seemed sincerely; desirous of pleasing. Not
once did they fail to respond to an
encore and tbat meant with every
number. Their imitation of the
tones of Beveral bells, chiming
harmoniously and dying away in the
distance, was fine indeed.
Let all remember that there is another concert an a lecture coming
just gas good, possibly better, than
those already had. The church
should be crowded for both entertainments.

A Sensible Move.
Coral, Mich., Jan. 7.—The school
board of this village has notified the
principal of the Coral school to prohibit the use of tobacco among students. This action was taken following an investigation which showed
that boys attending school here purchased more cigars, cigarettes and
smoking tobacco than the grownups
of the village.
A general warning has been sounded among tbe students, and offenders
in the future will be suspended.

The Greatest Wonder.
Prizes Awarded.
The Ann Arbor railroad has awarded a prize to each of three section
foremen on this division of the road,
extending from Frankfort to Alma.
These prizes are for. care of section
during 1912. The first prize of S75
goes to Wm. Richmond of Farwell
who has been foreman 6 years. The
second of 350 to G. Marsh of Beulah
who has served 12 years. The third
of S25 to Wm. Thompson of Rosebush
who baa officiated the long period of
20 yoaro. We hope the prizes for 1913
may all be awarded to sections in
this vicinity.
DottOQ at Dateoan's
evening, 3au. 18.
The last number of "The Classmate" nnder the title, "The Greatest
Wonder of the World," mentions
those of ancient times, the Pyramids
of Egypt etc.; those of the Middle
Ages, the Coliseum at Rome, etc.;
those of modern times, Wireless Telegraphy, the Telephone, the Aero-
plain, etc. In conclusion it says:
"But the greatest wonder of all iB
not a visible wonder, but the spirit
that is behind it all—the Bplendid
spirit that makes of practical value
the realization of these dreams—the
deathless, advancing spirit of progress that is not to be thwarted, that
presses on unceasingly, till the- goal
is reached, that defeat makes only
for stronger and more radicallefforts.
The wonders of the world are without number, but they all resolve into one great wonder—the glad, free
rush of the soul of man into dreamB
tbat, realised, will make the world a
bettor place to live in."
Insurance Meeting.
The Farmers' Mutual Insurance Co.
\ of Reed City, comprising the counties of Olare, Osceola and Lake, hpld
the annual meeting for the election
of officers at Reed City on Wednesday. The meeting was well attended
as we are informed and entirely
harmonious. Among those in attendance from thiB county were L. W.
Sunday, A. E. Doty and J. M. Well-
man.
Tbat the present officials are giving quite satisfactory service is
shown by the fact that no changes
were made. L. W. Sunday was reelected president, A. 0. Goehrend,
secretary and W. M. Adams, treasurer. J. A. White of Osceola and
Frank B. Holcomb of Lake were
elected to succeed themselves as
directors.
The company had a rather high assessment the past year and that
comes occasionally to all such companies and is something no one can
help. It offers a bread liberal, policy
and will doubtless continue to command the-confidence of its patrons.
