|^1 The Farm   Bnrean  meeting  at the
FAndltoriam on Saturday evening  was
j^felrly well attended.    The  pnrpose of
Ithe meeting as .we BUppoae was to in-
rfform farmers   of   the   object   of   the
!Bureau and something of  wbat it has
? already accomplished in this state.
W* Tje meeting was called to order by
: Pree. Wm. Bowler  who   introduced a
?Mr.   Bennett  of  Gladwin   to explain
| what had been   done   in Gladwin Co.4*riMrelin2 streets of cenn*ter>
| Mr. Bennett spoke in   so   low   a  tone
i that we could not catcb much   of  b-'s
I talk; and especially some of tbe figures
I that be gave.    As be ieft tbe  room at
^ once, we were not able to   see t him at
I the close.    That county is now pretty
^thoroughly organized and is   running
yan elevator at- Gladwin and a  cream-
:. ery at Beaverton.    If  we   understood
j: bim aright, tbe Bureau is now, after
a*i-organization of ten months, $12,600
yvo tbe good in its business operstions.
js^' -Ex-Senator H. E.   Straight of Cold
% water was tben Introduced and spoke
Pat some length on the situation confronting   farmers   and    tbe   need   of
ll' of crloeer co-operation to enable tbem
:v to secure the just share of -the - fruits
■j of  tbeir    labors.     He   declared   that
| they have been getting only 35 per
cent of tbe value of tbe products tbey
: produce. The urange and Gleaners
organizations bave done   much good.
j;but the Bureau ie aiming at something these bodies   never  attempted.
,A. He spoke of tbe beginning of the
"Bureau in tbis state last October wben
: six men in   a   township   in   Oakland
: connty secured in one day the signatures of 97 mezi as   prospective   mem-
t bers.    Tbis was followed  by a county
- organization of 1900 in a  short  time.
; There are now 85,000   members Tn the
■ atate and tbe aim is to secure practic-
' ally all tbe farmers in the   State   and
! Ultimately to make the movement nation wide.    The   Federation of Labor
\ comorises 5,000,000 members and ali
realize   the   power  it   wields.    Tbere
i are 7,000,000 farmers io the United
States and they'should be banded
together   for   their   own   preelection
' and well being. -

Pursuant to a short notice, tbere'
was a meeting of the .Chamber of.
Commerce ou Monday- evening to [
close up one or two factory "deals that?
have been pending (or some little I
time. Pres. Caple, stated that Mr. [
Hetber of Brown City who mannfac j
tures a very superior automobile:
trailer bad closed out his business at!
tbat place and is seeking a new location . witb better railroad facilities, j
He seems pleased witb Clare and juet -
wtty be was waiting and hesitating!
was not clear, unless it was to get an -
answer from a Saginaw firm manu
similar article. J
bon spoke of the outlook!
for tb,e sale of his Road Leveler and <
stated that a Mr. florton of Manistee
bad become interested in the enterprise and was willing to take some
stock in tbe matter, being particularly
interested in tbe sales end of it. Later
Mr. Horton came in and expressed
his willingness and desire to come
bere, that he felt there was an almost
unlimited field for the sale of road
making machinery and that no
chances were being taken on Mr.
Northon'e invention. After an expression of opinions from many present, Pres. Caple was requested to
telephone Mr. Hetber and seek to
have bim corns bere at once and close
np tbe deal.
On Tuesday afternoon a moderate
number again assembled'at the Auditorium and were informed by Pres.
Caple tbat be had talked with Mr.
Hetber over the wire and found that
it was the price set on the "Furnace
Building" that has been delaying
matters. [After a free discussion of
the question a committee consisting
of Jas. S. Bicknell, M B. Gallagher
and Pres. Caple was appointed to act
witb Mr. Hetber, who wiii De here to
day, and Mr. Horton in an effort to
adjust all differences and make the
project a sure tbing.
Now On The Job.
Floyd E. Sbonp wbo some time ago
bought tbe Beemer building and) who
comes from Beaverton is now here
and installing bis machinery for making ice cream and butter. Mr. Sbocp
bas tbe appearance of being a bustler
and we have no doubt will make tbe
business a success. The Sentinel
welcomes him to Olare and trusts
tbat he may meet with unbounded
success.

It will be noticed that our Brown

Cbas. Kleinhardt threshed 27 bushels
of clover seed from 4% acres of
ground. We do not know what seed
is sel>ing for now, but if we remember
rightly, it went as bigh as 930. 00 per
bushel in tbe spring. At mncb less
than this, there wonld seem a big return on this crop. -  "

FOREST. SERVICE
Issues
l wo     Very    Interesting
Pamphlets.
Tba U. S. Forest Service bas iseued
two pamphlets dealing with the depletion of timber in tbis country,
price of lumber, etc. These may be
bad from che Dept. of Agriculture,
Washington.
It is asserted that timber is being
used up four times as fast as new timber is growing and that saw timber is
being cut five times fast as grown.
More than 80.000,000 acres of land
tbat should be grswing timber is unproductive waste.

Jasaos 8. Blcsnssll.
Tbe election in Maine on Monday
was fought almost entirely ou tbe
League of Nations issue, the Democrats shouldering Mr. Wilson's demand tbat this mast be accepted
witbout any reservations whatever.
Apparently the Republicans have
carried the state by close to 70,000, a
majority double what any one bad
claimed. From tbis time on tne fate
of tbis issue need not be one of doubt.
Mr. Cox will be the worst defeated
candidate tbis country ever saw, not
excepting Mr. Taft.
Mr. Wilson seems to have, been obsessed witb tbe idea tbat tbe people
of tbis country are just dying to secure his preposterous league. Nothing would satisfy him but a "solemn
referendum" to tbe people and now
let bim have it. Only one thing is
needed to make the victory doubly
satisfactory and that .would be to
have Mr. Wilson himself the candidate.
A wide difference in yielding ability
of Michigan wbeat varieties, with a
few standing out head and shoulders
over the rea_ in productiveness, is
shown -by the results of over-state
variety tests carried out during the
past year by tbe f js.rm crops depart*
ment at tbe Michigan Agricultural
College. '   :' .
The two leaders, according to average results of teita in Branch, Monroe, Van Hurcn, and Wayne counties,
are New Fullz aud Red Rock. These
varieties averaged L- approximately i the journey
twenty bushels to the acre, as compared witb sucb yields as sixteen and
one-half bushels for American Banner; fifteen and one-half bushels for
No. 6 Junior; and fourteen and one-
baif . for Lancaster and Kacred,
Tbere were fifteen varieties pn this
series of tests, witb some of tbe average running as low as ten and a
fraction busbeip. ---Z"A 'A       .:■..'-■-■
Other   tests   run   in   Saginaw,     St.
Clair ;'-. and   Tuscola -  counties    give
Egyptian, Berkely and  Red   Rock the !
lead, out of eleven  varieties   planted.)
Importance of selecting leading;
varieties for this season's planting is
sbown by these tests, and : 'wheat
growing farmers are urged to make
special effort to secure seed from
them. Tbe variety tests were planted
by Mr. D. F. Rainey, Crops Specialist, witb tbe M. A. O. department.
Democrats Dissatisfied.
Rev- J. D.Pierce M. D., of Birmingham, Ala., writes tbat he has bean a
citizen of tbe south since l£82. He
says tbat be finds tbat many of bis
acquaintances are dissatisfied with
tbe machine of their party and especially witb tbe Wilson leagne of nations* He asked a number of returned soldiers about the league of nations
and every one bas told bim tbat be is
opposed to it. If an election could
be beld in tbe south on tbe merits of
tbe issues involved, Dr. Pierce thinks
tbat the Republican party would be
successful. -;-..:
Meeting With Success.
We are informed by Manager
Mastick in cbarge of the Farm
Bureau work here tbat on Tnesday 12
men secured 82 members in Grant
township and 132 in Sberidan. Yesterday part of tbe force were in
Hayes, Summerfield and Hamilton,
while others were cleaning np those
not secured on she IIfat trip through
tbe townsbips.
On Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. John L.
Oliver, Mrs. A. J. Ciuce and son Jas.
left bere. by auto to make tbe long
trip by auto to Los Angeles, California. They set no time as to length of
tbeir journey as tbey may make some
extended stops on .the .way if tbey

MICHIGAN
Retail Dealers Association Meets
,        Sept.   15-16.
The ' Michigan Retail Dry Goods
Association will meet in Saginaw on
Sepr. 15 and 16 with a program tbat
should be of interest to all ita membership, whicb includes we see several
from this city. On the evening of
the 16th. Cong. Patrick B. Kelley
addresses tbe Association, his subject
being, "Don't Rock the Boat."
They have their tei»t and the neccs
sary utensils and equipment to board
andk lodge on tbe way. lt may not be
quite equal to the Astor House, but
will be much more enjoyable. Jas.
Clute is an expert auto man, so can
lock after any attempts cf the car to
balk. When they get among tbe
"Mexican os" in New Mexico and
Arizona, Mrs. Oliver can ask them in
Spanish for any needed information
as to tbe journey's course, so that
the trip Bbould surely be a success.
.The return journey next spring will
be far to tbe nortb wbere new sights
and scenery may be enjoyed.

Io starting out on a campaign tour,
Wm G. McAdoo makes it clear tbat
he is not in sympathy with tbat ele
ment in his party represented by
Gov. Edwards o New •■'Jersey, and
tbat to enact a.
••'light .wine" and beer" law would
simply nullify the 18th Amendment.
Prohibition does not mean license in
any form, Mr. McAdoo said, and to
amend the law to permit the bale of
beer and light wine Is to open a crack
in tbe door wbich soon would open the
door full width. He is opposed to any
modification, he spid. Hia statement
continued:   ~ ' - *      -
"No law which provides for a driok
containing a certain' percentage of
aleohoi cao be successfully enforced.
If che law should permit thousands of
breweries and wineries to be reopened
and to-manufacture beverages* with a
specified alcoholic content it would be
impossible to prevent the manufacture
of these beverages with a larger percentage of alcohol than prescribed or
to prevent adulteration after manufacture and the effect would be to
nullify tbe prohibition  amendment.
"Even if the tbe saloon Itself were
not reopened, light wines and beer
would be sold at every soda fountain,
at every luncb* counter and in every
restaurant and hotel. A large
enough chemical plant with a sufficient force to analyze the alcoholic
content of these beverages could
never be provided. It is a notorioue
fact tbat drunkards begin by drinking light wines and beer wben young,
and as tbe appetite grows tfie , desire
for stronger'drink ia developed. If
we turn loose upon the country light
wines and beer to be sold at every
drug store, soda fountain, lunch
counter, hotel and resturant we have
destroyed tbe prohibition amendment and brought back upon humanity a curse greater than  war itself.
"If Congress can by a mere majority vote with the approval of a favoring President license beer and lignt
wines, then prohibition, wbich required a two-thirda vote and a Presidential approval, plus the consent of
three-fourths of the States, can be '•
nullified by a majority of the Congress with the approyal of tbe President. The breweries and tbe wineries know thiB fact." -

H. Caple May Erect Number Of Houses.
Wm. H. Caple bas bought the
"Ball Grounds" in tbe north west,
part of tbe city and nuw contem
plates tbe erection of some twenty
five houses tberon.
it takes some "nerve1' for a man to
enter into any extended building program now, but one of the pressing
needs of the city now are more houses
A considerable number could be sold
or rented at once. Tbe building ot

considerable number of men during
