only   way   to have  a successful

^ed auctioneer; even   though   possi-
lit  may   cost  a   trigle more, and
widely advertise Jtbe sale.   It  is
tbe near oy neighbors only, but
^e people from a good diatsnce away
mtioftke the auction a success. A
lle-ir doliars spent in advertising is
ikely to be returned four fold in the

Among tbe men who' know Sen.
Harding well and thoroughly believe
in him is Rev. D. B. Martin of Winnebago, Minn., former pastor of the
Baptist church in Marion Ohio, of
wbich Mr. Hardiryr is a member. .
Mr. Martin save:
"it hVa peculiar pleasure for me to
continue the work > which I began
twenty Ave years ago I'« avss; my
privilege to stand ^oa the sid*; lines
and boost for Senator Harding when
be received his .first nomination 'for
{public office. Wben he was a candi- |
date for the senate I was visiting in
Ohio and had tbe pieasure of boosting
for bim. It is, therefore, a peculiar
pleasure to join with this bunch of
Minnesota boosters in seeKin^ to pat
Senator Harding over, in tbe greatest
gift within tbe power of tbe people.
Being a clergyman, I have been constantly asked by my friends at the
college commencement in Michigan,
in Chicago and in Minuesoto why I
am such a persistent booster for Mr.
Harding, and I have been asked to
state in this presence my reasons for
doing so.    These are tbree:       -'■■
*_*The first pertains to certain elements of-his character. I will give
you these as I received them while I
was pastor, of the Baptist Church ia
this city, of wbicb Mr, Harding is a
member. I asked him and sgroup of
other men to make some Sunday evening addresses..; I do not remember
much tbat Senator Harding said at
that time, but I do remember very
distinctly the words with wbicb be
closed his address and wbicb bave
stood all these years as outstanding
elements of his character to me. He
closed tbe address by a quotation from
the Prophets, in wbich be said, 'And
wbat doth the Lord thy God require
of thee but to do justly and love mercy
and walk bunably with thy God.'
Justice, mercy, kindliness and humility bave in ali these years stood "as
foremost characteristics of Mr. Harding's life— Characteristics -which are
always attractive and make a man's
life worth while. .     .
•"■ "The second reason is because I believe that there is focused in bim the
best traditions, . ideals and purposes
of the great Republican~party and so \
peculiarly fit him to be their leader
in this great crisis of the nation's life.
I use the word *leader_ advisedly, for
it is leadership tbat we are Deeding
and not arbitrary, dictatorial, autocratic rule. We have had enough of
tbat. If.a boss ia desired there would
be no need for making any change,
for the boss tbat we have is tbe bossiest. " ....-•
"Thd third reason is because I find
in bim no trace cf radicalism. To me
radicalism is the great danger that
we bave to face. . Our interests are too
diverse to admit of anything of tbat
character. We have our agricultural
group with its interests. _ We have
the labor group -with its interests.
We have our financial interests. We
bave tbat other great group known
as the public, tbat baa alwayB been
made the 'goat1, witb its interests.
All of these, are of vital interest to
tbe common weal and I believe that
Senator Harding is broad enough and
sympathetic enough so tbat the interests of each will be blended in the
common interest of all, and all will
be perfectly safe under his leadership.''

Lincoln, TSeb., Sept. 18 —Writing
in the current, issue of his newspaper,
The Commoner, W. J. Bryan urges
election ot candidates be describes as
"progressives" to tbe United States
senate and house of representatives
whether they be Democrats or Republicans. -     i'-":       ' '      -
"Lee us" he advises, "elect just as
many progressives to senate and house
as possible—a Republican ir tbe Democratic candidate 1b a reactionary,
just as we should elect a Republican
dry if the Democratic candidate is
wet.        ■   " ;-* --  *.   .    '■
Referring  to   tbe    Democratic    na- \
tional convention   at   San   Francisco,
Bryan declares chat "the progressives
had   no   chance   in   the   Democratic
party thia year."
"The administration presented no
economic basis upon which a division
could be made," he continued. Those
who spoke for the president made the
indorsement of * the treaty without
reservations the dominant—in fact—
tbe only test. Nothing could be done
or said that could In any way be construed as a reflection^ upon the ad
ministration or as a suggestion of improvement, * * * Nearly a third of
the delegates at the Democratic convention seemed to be interested in
nothing but tbe liquor question.
"The administration did not want
anything said on the prohibition
{question, doubtless because it might
be construed as a rebuke to tbe president for silence on the subject in general and hia lamentable {effort to repeal war prohibition at a time when
it wonld have invited a~national spree
of a few week's duration before constitutional prohibition went into
effect." ; '■'
THE FORERUNNERS
Of   Others   To   Follow   At  An
V Early Day. '
It is often remarked tbat when a
town secures one factory, others
follow without greats effort. No
donbt this is largely true and is borne
out by observation and experience. .
Last week we noted the fact tbat
Mr. Shoup is installing tbe machinery
for iris ice cream and butter making
and be expects to . start October
1. He expects to manufacture 15,000
pounds of butter a . week : and ice
cream will be au export, not an import any longer.
On Monday, Mr. Hether of Browni
City and ~ Mr. Horton of Manistee
were botb here and the hitch in the
Furnace Building deal was ironed out.
Mr. Grimason. consented to accept
S40G0 for tbe building, $2500 of
which was paid by Mr. Hetber and
81500 by tbe Chamber of Commerce.
A clause in tbe deed fprovides tbat
tbe building must be used for manufacturing purposes for ten years or
tbe city's interest will revere back.
Mr. Hether expects to move his machinery bere and be ready for business No?. 1. - He will manufacture an
Auto' Camp Trailer and Farmers'
Handy Trailer, also auto bodies and.
axles,-all of wbich be bas been mak-
ing at Brown City and for which
tbere is an unlimited demand. For
the present at. least be will manufacture tbe Northon Road Leveler on
a commission basis. -
Tbere was organized Monday also a
Sales Corporation with a capital
stock of 920,000, a considerable part
of wbicb was at once subscribed.
This will take over the patent of the
Road Leveler and Mr. Horton who
had considerable experience in sales
matters will be manager. He feels
tbat there will be no question . about
there being a ready market for. the
entire ontpot. Thus it will, be seen
that there will virtually be two factories under tbe same roof at the
| start, though additional room may
soon be needed. Apparently a foundry will soon be needed and is likely
to follow at an early day.
And now the demand for more
bouses will soon be an Imperative necessity. Will tbis demand be supplied by individuals, or shall there be
a Housing Corporation, a Building
and Loan Association, or wbat?

That certain soil of the Saginaw
Valley and Thumb districts of Michigan may be compared favorably wijh
tbe famous corn belt sections of Illinois and other fertile regions, is tbe
opinion of Dr. M. M. McCool, head of
tbe soils department a,t tba. Michigan
Agricultural College....'..'
Tbe ■ estimate of the. fertility of
these stiate lands is based upon che
findings of a soil survey of the lake
bed area in Saginaw Valley and
Thumb districts, whicb has just been
completed by Dr. Mc Cool and Prof.
G- M, Grantham of M. A. C. The
soils of the whole district bave been
classified, mapped, and tbeir plant-
food content determined by means of
chemical analysis.
"Witb the exception of tbs sand
ridges and deep sandy deposits, tbe
soils of these areas are well supplied
witb lime", says Dr. Mc Cool. "In
fact the subsoils, ranging from 14 to
24 inches from tbe surface, carry a
high per cent of tbis valuable con.
stituent, * and tbe surface soils are
sweet in reaction. Where drainage
is adequate, all legumes thrive without the use of lime...'-' .   '     yy;
