A GOOD BANK
IS A REAL HELP TO ANY
MAN OR WOMAN
You can do without an automobile or a radio.
You don't have to have a bathtub or electric
light in your home. But such modern conveniences make life worth living.
This is true of a bank, too.  You can get along
without a bank.   But you can get along much
better with it. A bank is a modern convenience .
which can be a real help to any man or woman.

The  Gleason  school stands toda$|and often the same one who taught
! with modern improvements, a play
:' ground, lighting arranged over the
[left shoulder and similar'-changes
! which represent ideas of the times.
Mrs. Alonzo Kuder, now in her
84th year," went to school the fall
she was five years old. That year
the building was scarcely done in
time for school to open, many finishing touches being applied after
the teacher had arrived and lessons
diligently studied.
We have been very careful in selecting our brands of
Fertilizers and feel we have what it takes to produce
bumper crops, when other conditions are considered.
Use Welch "Independent Plant Foods"
with ground tobacco stems
Or Swift's "Red Steer"
non-acid forming Fertilizers
And I think you will agree there are none better.
Delouse your poultry nature's way—in the dust

Colefs Feed Store
in the fall returned for the spring'
term.
Some of the pupils that first year
were Julia Bradley Gilmore; her
sister, Amy Bradley. Sarah Harriett
(Avery), mother of Mrs. John Crittenden; Lauren Cole. - Others who
attended were Rhue Corbett, Esther
Cochran, Virginia Harring and Sarah Avery. (N. B.—There was a Sarah
Harriett who married an Avery and
also sl Sarah Avery.)
Nathan Hunt built the structure in
1853. Ezra Gleason put in the seats,
which were made of black walnut
from logs in his woods. Double desks
were used. A Mr. Cole did the mason
work. With Nathan Hunt to do the
carpenter work, Ezra Gleason the
seating and M_5> Cole the masonry,
the school building went forward.
As opening time drew closer all
worked harder and longer, that the.
job might be completed on time.
John Cole gave the ground for siir
long as it> should be used for a
school.
At first the teacher was paid 75
cents a week and was "boarded
round"—that is. given board and
lodging here and there. Sometimes
teachers fared well and sometimes
not so well. School was held six
days a week and -when the teacher
asked for Saturday off there was
a great argument about the matter.
Some felt she -would not earn her
money if she had a day off, some
thought it rather indolent of her and
she was getting lazy, some thought
the pay sufficient for that much
service and they should demand the
full week's work. But a compromise
was reached and the teacher granted
one Saturday a month for a holiday.
Later it -was extended to one Saturday every two weeks. Gradually
the idea grew and eventually the
five-day week was decided upon.
There were from 40 to 60 pupils
all the time. Three teachers a year
was the rule, one being engaged for
the fall term, another for the winter
Among the early teachers were
Ollie Easlick (Corbett), sister of
Mrs. Ida Cammet; Louise Tower,
Sarah Tower (Stimpson), mother of
Elmer Stimpson; Sara Laddy Harriett,
Jerome Travis, Mary Easterle (Turner) ; Will Owen, who died of effects
of army life. Other teachers were
Persus Rhymert, Helen Travis, Lizzie Gleason, Stella Forbes, Sadie
Jackson and her sister, MJnty, Emma
Cotton Hammond (Mrs. B. D.), Mat-
tie Kleversatt, now Mrs. Hugh
Craig. Edna Kleversaat (Mrs. Sam.
Craig-),- Grace Gordon Stimpson
(Mrs. Elmer Stimpson), Grace McMann (Hammond. Mrs. Ralph), and
Pearl Waite (Kuder).
The regular order in which these
teachers taught the school is not
known. Other teachers were Jim
Collins, father of Mrs. Elfa Monroe
and Mrs. Elsie Heininger, and Ida
Walker.
The building was remodeled a year
ago with the aid of WPA fluids,
Electricity was installed, walls celo-
texed, new floors laid, and lighting
effects modernized.
The teacher last year was Miss
Geraldine Hanson, who has taught
the past three years and has won
the praise and admiration of pupils
f_s4rtheir parents alike. Two boys
completed the eighth grade this year,
Ralph* Mehler and Frederick Hartwig. Both plan to continue their education but had not definitely decided when this was written upon
the school or vocation they will follow.

Hillsdale County Fair
September 26-October 2
New Grandstand Erected That Will
Accommodate 1,400 People, Paid
for From  Earnings.
Hillsdale fair-goers this year will
be delighted with the new grandstand, which is -undergoing final
touches this week. Tlie new stand,
seating 1,400 people, will double the
capacity at the race track in front
of the free acts stand. Also there
will be space in front for temporary
bleachers to accommodate any overflow.
Secretary Harry B. Kelley states
that the cost of the new grandstand
will total between eight and nine
thousand dollars, all paid for from
receipts of the fair. The new stands
will be used for the first time at this
year's fair, September 26 to October 2.
Facing the track at the most desirable angle from the standpoint of
affording the best view, the new
grandstand bas reserved seat space
for 192 persons in specially decked
boxes at the front The old stand
has also been remodeled so that
the front conforms to the new one,
and has box seat capacity for 352.
The boxes will be equipped with new
steel chairs.
A feature of the new stand is the
sanitary restrooms underneath at
the north side. Modern plumbing has
been installed for the four restrooms
—two for men and two for women.
Two of the rooms will be available
from the outside of the grandstand,
and two from the inside. A modern
■(rentilating system has been installed
in these rooms.
Painted all white, with the exception of the seats which are to be
gray, the new stand adds considerably to the looks of the fairgrounds
as well as affording decided advantages to those who will attend.
The entrance to' both stands is between them where the ground space
has been concreted and iron lanes
have been set up to afford the most
rapid inflow of spectators. The
ticket booths and concessions will be
located under the new grandstand
at the south end, next to the entrance
gates. Exits are located at the north
end of the new stand and the south
end of the old stand. Each has an
exit to the track, and spectators can
leave, of course, by way of the entrance.
The new stand has a self-supporting roof, which eliminates the use of
a great number of poles from the
front, thereby affording the spectators a practically unobstructed
view. From the standpoint of sturdy
construction, it is pointed out by Mr.
Kelley that sound oak supports underneath the 9x14 inch risers extend
to concrete,footings. 38,000 feet of
the sawed oak was used and 35,000
feet of pine lumber in the construction of the new stand. Supports
were also reinforced in the old stand
where needed.
The roofing over the new grandstand will be steel over paper, making for insulation from the heat as
well as protection from fireworks.
CARD  OF THANKS
I wish to thank my friends, neighbors and relatives for the many act"
of kindness and beautiful floral offerings received during the recent illness and death of my. beloved wife:
also thank Rev. Adolf Lederer and
the singers. v        v
