HANDSOME GBELTiNG G.VEN
TO OUB BOYS IN FBANCE
By  tlie Women of That  Country on
the Fouttli  of July.
We all have read -with interest of
how the peoples af England and
France celebrate! on the Fourth of
July, and it affords us much tie. sure
to be .able to reproduce b;low the
sub ect Tn*1t<»r of Hip profiting presented each of our soldiers upon th^t
occasion by the women of Frarce:
In form the greeting was on white
paper, with border of blue and red,
t!ie American eagle ad rning the upper left hand corner and opposite the
national emblem of France. "We are
indebted to Mrs. B. P. Davenport lor
the privilege of examining it, and i"
was sent to her by one of "our bay-,"

TO THE MEN
of the
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE
At the great and his'ori al mom nt
when the American trcop; are landing on French st.il, the Women of
France extend to them a heartfeit
welcome full of gratitude and admiration.
They -wish thU ev-ry American
soldier setting fo^t on t'-ie'r dear land,
could hear, voiced in one loud jubilating sound, all that F.ench hearts
feel for those who have crossed the
ocean to fight for the Liberty and
Freedom of the World.
Tenderly and revercn ly th y welcome the men from Am.r'ca who
have come to help them in their hour
of direful need. More tenderly and
reverently still their voices and
hearts cry out to the Women of that
distant land, to the Mothers, Wives,
and Sweethearts who have gladly and
proudly given their dear ones, and
nobly done their share in the struggle for Right and Justice.
They feel confident that America's
mighjty effort will help to win the
■war, the wicked; Cruel,- unjust war
that has caused so many te-,rs to
flow, so many hearts to break. They
know that the men who fight under1
the Stairs and Stripes will rid France
of her foul enemy and take avay
from the civilized world the menace
of a shameful slave; y.
The Old world and the New will
cling together through fair and
stormy weather until the great day
of Victory and lasting Peace.
United in the tame^ftrnggle for the
same great ends:
.   .   conquer we must when
our c:aisc it is just.
And   this he   our motto, "In
God is our t.nst".
Long live the Unitid State !
Long live  France!

County Agricultural Agent H. S.
Osier has received ins ructions from
the United States department of agriculture to secure from the thresher-
men of the county a report on all
wheat threshed. This should give an
accurate census of the wheat produced in the county, and as it is to he
done in the same way all over the
country, the government should have
an accurate figure on the wheat crop
of the country this fall.

The Ys. P. S>. C. E. held their "busi-

this week. These lv-on'hly conferences are proving a benefit socially,
and awaken renewed intere .t in the
welfare of the society.
Many of the children are having
the whooping ccugh and it has had a
marked influence on the attendance
at Sabbath school.
Bear in mind the special musical

To show the high morale, fai.ness
and manly courage of the American
army I copy the following which I
hope you will read:
Four thousand men at the first officers' reserve training camp at Fi.rt
Sheridan signed this significant
pledge.
We undertake to main aan our part of
the war, free from hatred, wanton
b.u ality or graft, true ti the American  puipose and ideals.
Aware of the temptations incident
to camp \ite\ and the moral and social wreckage involved, we covenant
together, to live the clean life, to
seek to establish the American uniform as a symbol and guarantee of
real manhood.
When the flower of Am.rican manhood is being called to the colors, it
is gratifying and encouraging to
know, the government is doing its
utmost, and more than ever hefore,
to surround army life with an ennobling  environment.
Mrs-. L. A. Phelps of Detroit was a
guest -at the home of Miss Mary Ec-

An orchard inspection for Washtenaw county is being conducted today
by County Agent Osier, assisted by
Prof. Lovee, of the Michigan Agricultural College extension service.
It was planned to leave Ann Arbor
at 7:30 o'clock, arriving at Chelsea
for dinner. A1fter dinner the party
is to go south visiting orchards near
Clinton. Saline and Ypsilanti.—Chelsea Standard.
Some twenty years ago it was the
privilege of the publisher to visit the
M. A. C. campus, and while our stay
was short the grandeur of the buildings and the more than beautiful
sunoundings made an impression upon us which no amount of travel or
the flight of time have been. able to
obliterate, and we have often wished
we might return there for a longer
stay and get a more thorough understanding of just what the M. A. C.
means to us as well as" .to the agricultural interests of this great state.
The opportunity came la^t ^\eek, upon the occasion of the ifirst annual
convention of the publishers of rural
weeklies and semi-weeklies, and our
dream of years was realized. Of the
comention litt'e need be said, except
annual feature and will result in
perhaps to state that it will be an
much good to the publishers and to
t' e c !kge.
'i\ o ! a.niiicant new building's are
ab ut c ,.ni leted, one of them a gym-
na iurn, >he other the engineering department. The oldest structure on
the campus, and the first west of
Massachuse t; devoted to the tending of agriculture, is being razed,
b.,th the brick and the mortar having
rotted to such extent as to make it
unsafe for further use.
Among other things we learned
hat Michigan occupi s an enviable
osition in the minds cf the teaching
f ateriity engaged in similar work
t roughout the m'ddle west and far
west; that the majority of the newer
co e~es have been placed in the front
i auks by the work of the graduates
of M. A. C. and that many of the
great strides made in the field of agriculture and stock r<.i:ing were con-
iei (. d and put to the test first in
»rr s ate through the efforts of the M.
A. C.
That's enough of self praise. The
ne. t thing that lmpi'egggd ¥s Wus""the"
sewi.ing lack of eppreeiation on the
p rt of the farmers in this vicin.ty
of t '•> wonderful possibilities open to
their sons. We do not believe many
of you have given your boys a chance
to learn .'list how much help the college -ould: ba to him if he is to follow
in your footsteps and make farming
his.life's work, and it is the mission
of .this series of articles to try to
'make you see the duty you o.\ve not
only him, but yourself and the nation. The time is come when it is
suicidal to be ignorantly selfish --the
lime is cjme when you should be intelligently selfi h, and you cant be
that unless you take cr send your boy
to •East Lansing for at least a day.
Send him for a dav and what lie will
see and learn in that brief time will
convince him he must get more of it,
and nine boys out of ten will.
The^ fact that you have been very
successful in rais'ng good crops and
live stock is all the mere reason why
you should give the boys a chance to
beat you at your own game. Any boy
who is content to follow' blindly in pa,
or grandpa's, foo st p-, no master
how successful pap ar grandpap.have
been, needs to be shown the error of
his way. It he is too young to go up
alone, go along with him, and you
might ca*ch the vision yourself,
though they do say up at the college
that a man of forty or more is well
nigh hop3less when it comes to getting! him to adopt any new or improved methods. That's the why of the
numerous clubs f steredj by the institution, but of them, more in our
next.

Raise the Limit
EVERY farmer who has access to a pile of
stable manure or who keeps live stock on his
farm should have a Corn King manure spreader this
year. Don't let power and help conditions keep you
from raising as much as you can on every acre. Begin
to use a Low Corn King spreader right after harvest,
and fertilize your fields. There is no easier, surer, or
better way to secure a pa3"ing increase in crdps from
every acre you plant. How would a thirty-bushel-to-
the-acre increase in corn, or a ten-bushel increase
in wheat look to you next year? All right, then buy
and use a .
Low Corn King Manure Spreader
Three sizes—small, medium, and large. All narrow
boxes. All steel frames with working parts of the
spreader securely attached to the frame. Turns
short. Drive from both rear wheels. Return apron
driven by worm gear which insures even spreading
up hill and down. Pull comes straight on steel frame.
Solid two-inch rear axle working in rojler bearings
carries seventy-five per cent of the load. * All-steel
beater cannot warp, shrink, or rot. Built up to International Harvester standards of quality in every respect.
Buy a Corn King spreader and use it. The increased
yield from a few acres will pay for your spreader-
