MR. A N D MRS. F. E. KEL-

SEY, SAILS IN SEPT.

Word has been received from Rev. S, pafford Kelsey, who has a pastor- a~e at Ontonogan, Mich., tha t he has j.u~t received his appointment as a foreign miss ionary to China. He is t~ go to Shantung Province which bo~xiers on the Yellow .Sea, not far so~th of the city of Peking. He wilt probably en te r the Shantung Chris- ttom Univers i ty at Wei Hsien, Shan- tung, where he will spend some t i m e in acquiring the Chinese language before enter ing his duties as a mission- ary.

He will go to New York City in June where the Presbyterian Board will give him his final instructions and sails f rom San Francisco in Septem- ber to Yokohoma, Japan; .then on to Shanghai, China, thence to his destin- ation by boat and rail f rom there. i~ is a 26-day tr ip f rom San Francis- c~, to Shanghai i~cluding a two-day st@ in Japan.

He is told t h a t the climate in Shan- tung is very much the same as in Vir- ginia, no severe extremes in weather a.n~ he considers himself for tunate to get an appoin tment in such a favora- ble location. There are eight missions in" the Province now, but considering it is four hundred miles lon~ and thickly populated, there is room for more.

i PROF. BIEN MAKES GOOD AS B. B. COACH.

"Billie" Bien, a member of the Class of 1914 and prominently connect ed with the foot ball, basket ball and

b a s e ball activities during his high school l i f e at Cass City, is making good as trainer and coach as well as instructor at the Matchwood, Michi- gan, schools. In a recent basket ball game between Bergland and Match- wood the latter was victorious in a 19-40 score. "The Bergland boys played a good game," says the Clover- land Press, "but the newly organized team of Matchwood, with their trainer and coach, Prof. Bien, outclassed them in every move of the game."

HIGH VOLTAGE IN PRIMARY

WIRES INCREASES POSSIBILI-

TIES OF ACCIDENTS.

Beware of dangling telephone, guy or electric light wires. Danger may lurk in these seemingly harmless things as they hang from a pole or cross arm and it is best to be cautious.

This is the advice of W. N. Straube, superintendent of the Municipal Elec- tric Light" and Water Plant. The im- provement of the village electrical system effected last year in changing from 133-cycle t:o 60-cycle al ternat ing current made the electric system better a d a p t e d for both l ight and power loads, but this change increased the voltage f r o m 1,100 to 2,200 and this qarried~in the primary wires ,greatly

[increases the danger to any who may come in contact with them.

A dangling telephone or guy wire coming in contact wi th the electrical pr imary wires of the village s~stem carrying the high voltage becomes Very dangerous and all persons should avoid handling them. Even if the primary wires are insulated this does not guarantee protection.

The all-day and all-night service increases the possibility of f a t a l accidents. Parents and teachers are asked to warn children not to touch or handle any hanging wires and thus avoid danger.

THREE CASS CITY SOCIETIES

USE SCHOOLHOUSE AS

MEETING PLACE.

The majori ty of communities enter- tain the idea tha t the schoolhouse exists only for the child, and with the exception in a few cities, many school buildings are open jus t long enough each day for the study and recitation of the school pupils and are closed en- t irely two or three months of each year.

Cass City is outgrowing the idea that the school bu i ld ing can be used for school purposes only and gradual- ly i t i s being made to serve as a social center and as a meet ing place f o r or- ganizations that have an educational value.

Some time ago, members of the Woman's Study Club voted to hold their meet ings at the school building and they now hold thei r sessions every o ther Monday af ternoon in the laboratory of the high school instead of at the homes of the members. Members of the Lyceum are using" the high school assembly room for their for tnight ly meetings and the Priscilla Club has used one of the grade rooms for several sessions.

"The sch6ol building," says Fred L. Keeler, superintendent of public • in, struction, "should serve as a meet ing place for all organizat ions of the eom-

SAYS MARTYRED P R E S I D E N T

WAS LANKY A N D A W K W A R D

W H E N YOUNG MAN.

Mrs. H. J. Metlin, who has spent several months with her daughter , Mrs. I~. E. Dickinson, at Cass City, was an acquaintance of Abraham Lincoln and says that history in no way exaggerates his characterist ics when he is described as lanky and awkward.

Mrs. Merlin, whose maiden name was Harr ie t Shepard, lived with her parents at Saulsbury, Ill., dur ing Mr. Lincoln's early manhood. For a few years, Mr. Lincoln managed the old Salem Mills at Saulsbury and first came in touch with the Shepard family; then later while touring through the state lecturing, and while practic- ing" law, he often stopped at their home for meals and over night. Mrs. Metlin, who is now 87, was jus t a young" girl at the time, but she can tel! many incidents of his visits.

The monument erected to Abraham Lincoln in Springfield, Ill., has its base divided into two rooms which are used as a museum for Lincoln relics. Among other th ings are a table and chair made by Mrs. Met- lin's father, Henry Shepard, who was a cabinet maker , for Mr. Lineoln!s u s e .

[NR0[[MEI [ AT THE PR MARI[S

PROVIDED FOR IN NEW LAW

VOTER MUST ANNOUNCE

HIS PARTY.

t The new election ~aw enacted as an amendment to the pr imary law of 1909 contains several important pro-

i visions. Instead of a blanket sheet such as was required in the old law, sometimes so large and complex as to be exceedingly awkward, and hard to vote because it was hard to understand, the new law provides for sepa- ra te ballots for each party. The

i regis tered elector asks for a ballot of such par ty as he wishes. His name and par ty and the number of the ballot are thereupon recorded by the election board. H e takes his ballot and goes into the booth and marks it in the same manner as on any pr imary eteetion ballot placing a cross before the name of each candidate for whom he desires to vote, or he may insert the name of some other" person not on the ballot provided he does not insert the name of any person o~ some other ballot, but such person so voted for shall not be deemed nominated. unless he shall receive at least five: percent of the vote of his party at that election.

For illustration, suppose that the. Democratic party 'were thoroughly

sa t is f ied with the probable nominee, o f the Republican party for a county office and should fail to put any one :forward at the primaries and that some one voter cast a single vote fo r some >erson that vote does not count unless enough others vote in the same manner to make one twent ie th of the votes cast at that election for t h a t

.~ How to Fight Tuberculosis .:. "}.,,

Being E x a m i n e d For Tuberculos is .

We have seen how silently tuberculosis works. We have seen how it lives in agreement with the body into which it has gained entrance. We have seen how ~t gains s t rength and multi- plies in numbers before it causes the least discomfort to its host. That i s +.o ~ , r we h~vo seen how a ~erson l ' I i u y h a v e ~ ~ ,uu~xcUxu~" ; ..... ~ ~ ~ ' ~ ' ~ . . . . ~ ] ; . z lOv/ -

ing it. I t is during the period that tubercu-

losis exists without maMng itself fel t that the infected person has his best chance of recovery. But the period in which he is surest of help and cure is the very period when he least suspects that he needs any medical help at all. That is why it is ealted " the danger-

l ous period." I t is not as dangerous to the victim's own life as the later stages are. But it {s dangerous in tha t it deludes the vict im, in tha t i t helps him to believe himself well when he is really tubercuolous; and in this ig- norance the period in which he could be most certainly helped is allowed to pass unused.

Now, you may not be tubereulous. But aga in you may b e . The thing is

It° know absolutely. You may not t have had it last summer and you may have it now. You may not have it now, but you may have it next fall. If you have not got it now, and if you keep your heal th up to a high standard, if you eschew drinking and late hours and vice and unheal thful conditions of all kinds, you need not fear having it. But are you one of those who see that your body is kept in good condition ?

And again, you may have tuberculosis this very moment and not know it.. I t would not be a t all s t range if you have.

The question is, therefore, how are we to know?

The best th ing for you to do is to consult a physician competent to diagnose tuberculosis in its earliest stages. Consult him now. Demand a thorough examination. Tell the doctor that you want to know vositively whether or~enot you have the begin- ning- of the disease in you, and whether your condition is such tha t you could suecessfuly risk exposure to it. If the doctor shows a disposi- tion to put you off lightly, it is up to you to see tha t you g e t tha t examination and ge t it, done thoroughly. Ask the doctor to tell you honest ly if he can diagnose consumption in its earliest stages• Ask him if he can recom- mend a physician who can.

But insist on tha t examination. What you want to know is, first, whether the germ is detectable in you, and, second, whether your condition is strong enough to cast off the germ if yo'a should breathe i t in from the street dust or other carrier. Don't be put off by anything' less than this. Better be sure of your doctor first. The early diagnosis of tuberculosis has not been practiced so long and so widely as to become eommon with all physicians. But if you state your case fully to any of them, you will find the average doctor honest and earnest enough to do fm ~ you what you ask or to send you to someone who can do it.

If you find that you have tubercu-: losis in its earliest stages, you may ~ be mighty thankful tha t you have found out in time.

If you find you have escaped it thus far, you may be mighty thankful for that, and you ought to resolve forth-

w i t h to give your body a chance to g r o w strong and resistant.

But the only way you can absolute- i ly know either of these things is to present yourself to a c o m p e t e n t physician for a thorough physical ex' amination. I t may not reveal tuberculosis at a l l - - i t may reveal some-

~thing else s tar t ing in you, kidney trouble or other things which grow up slowly and which make themselves known only when it is on the verge of being too late.

In any event an examination will pay you. Have your physical machine looked over. Have an exper t tell you precisely what shape it is in. Then you will know how to live so tha t the weak points in you may have ac hance to grow strong.

The s t rongest chance for recovery from tuberculosis lies in early diagnosis.

The annual or semi-annual examination by a physician saves days lost, saves doctor bills, saves impairment of powers, prevents death.

If you are a well man- -appa ren t ly ~ y o u may need the examination more than a man who feels himself below par.

We have no more foolish habit than waiting until we are ill before we consult a physician. The t ime to see the doctor is before you are taken ill. Ask

4 - any doc~or and he will tell you that one of the principal branches of mod- ern medicine is called "preventive medicine." I t is of this preventive medicine tha t we ought to avail our- se lves~Now.

Do you know tha t you "have consumption ?

Do you know that you have NOT got it ?

It is your business to KNOW.

In order to deliver his guests at the doors of Blitherwood, so to speak, the in'6omprehensible Mr. Blithers had a temporary spur of track laid from the station two miles away, employ- ing no fewer than a thousand men to do the work in forty-eight hours. Work on a terminal extension in New York was delayed for a week or more in order that he might borrow the rails, ties and work trains.

Two hundred a n d fifty p r e c i o u s a n d skillfully selected guests ate two hundred and fifty gargantuan dinners and twice as many suppers; drank barrels of the rarest of wines; smoked countless two dollar perfectos and stuffed their pockets with enough to last them for days to come.

A great many mothers inspected Prince Robin w i t h in~eres~ a n d con- fessed to a really genuine enthusi- asm. The r u l e r of G r a u s t a r k ( tour- f i f ths of t h e g u e s t s a s k e d w h e r e in' t he wor ld it w a s ! ) was the l ion of t h e day.

As a m a t t e r of f ac t , he de- parted shortly after I. Moreover, being a prince, it did not occur to him to offer any excuse for leaving so early, but gracefully thanked his host and hostess and took himself off without the customary assertion that he had had a splendid time. Strange to say, he did not offer a single com- ment on the sumptuousness of the affair that had been given in his honor. Mr. Blithers couldn't get over that.

Except for one heartrending incident, the Blitherwood ball was the most satisfying event in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. William V/. Blithers. That incident, however, happened to be the hasty and well managed flight of Maud Applegate Blithers at an h o u r i n d e f i n i t e l y p l a c e d s o m e w h e r e b e t w e e n 4 a n d 7 o ' c lock on t h d m o r n - n g of t h e g r e a t d a y .

Not only does it aid in overcoming this trouble, but the regulator is designed as a protector for the dynamos in keeping a constant voltage and free from much variation.

turned Monday frora a three week's visi t in the south. They visited in Kentucky, Tennesee and Florida. While in Florida they a t tended the fa i r at Orlando, which was very interes t ing to them. Par t of their trip was by boat up the St. John 's r iver and Mr. and Mrs. Frutchey saw three wild a l l igators , wMch were much larger than any they had seen in cap- tivity.

Monday with a horse and cutter they had stolen at Pt. Hope. The lads were 9 and 14 years of age and lef t Pt. Hope without overcoats. The marshal failed to locate the youngsters here and it is thought they either found the weather too cold and turned homo- ward or changed their route thus cancelling the date the sheriff h a d arranged for them with Mr. Hutchinson at Cass City.

A company of 15 men and women met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. William on Thursday and spent a very enjoyable day. Dinner was served and the guests decided to or- ganize a Friendship Club and they plan to spend many pleasant days to-

An error crept into the article on *'Mothers' Pensions in Tuscola" printed in the Chronicle last week. The im- pression was given tha t $1.00 a week was the smallest payment made for each child. This is not correct as in one case a t least, one mother with three children receives $1.50 a week, • thus making 50 cents a week for each child.

The afternoon tea served at the home of Mrs. Edw. Pinney for the benefit of the Michigan Children's Home was well attended. Mrs. E. H. Pinney, Mrs. Chas. Wilsey and Mrs. A. J. Knapp were those on the recep- tion committee while in the dining room Mrs. M. M. Wickware and Mrs. Edw. Pinney presided at the tea table. Those attending- were very nicely served to tea, sandwiches, piektes and cakes by the following young ladies: Miss Frances MeGilivray, Miss Elizabeth Doerr, Miss Clara Dolwick, Misses Ruth and Miriam Fritz and Misses Virg in ia and ~Ielen Wilsey. During the afternoon Mrs., McCoy rendered several very fine piano s e - lections and Miss Finkbeiner favored the ladies with several solos. Because

o f this effort on the par t of the ladies the Children's Home will be helped by $16 in cash besides a box of good rio- thing.

" H o w m a n y pr i soners have we?" asked the judge .

" T w e n t y , for r io t ing and breach of peace, you r honor ."

"Tim," sa id the judge , "do you th ink you can get the first fel low to plead gui l ty w i t h o u t a t r i a l -=me to let h im off wi th a week in j a i l ? "

"'The eas ies t t h i n g in the wor ld!" an- swered the f a i t h f u l clerk.

"Make haste , then, and br ing the whole gang. And, I say, Tim, tell Je r ry to sadd le the m a r e meanwhi l e ! "

The t w e n t y p r i soners were b rough t into c o u r t - - n i n e t e e n of t h e m p repa red to fight counsel and j u r y to the b i t te r end.

A S e e d |deao J The reason I never have any

trouble ge t t ing my paper hanger is because I buy ray paper from a paper- .'hanger. He doesn't charge any more =than the other~fellows. You can write o r phone him and arrange a date to look over samples, and he then feels

';obligated to HANG YOUR PAPER FIRST. If your ceilings or walls take a strip of paper over the roll you can

b u y a single roll of paper f rom him, and plain borders only cost the same

::as wall paper. I handle Alfred Peats Prize Wall

Papers , Linoleum, Cork Carpet, Wall Board, Window Shades, Paints, Oils, ~etc. If you see any advantage in the :above I will be glad to serve you.

,GROW|NG SUGAR-BEET SEED ~

Outbreak of European W a r Has Cut Off Supply From G e r m o n Y ~ F a r m -

The g rea te r pa r t of the sugar -bee t s e e d sown each yea r in t h e _ U n i t e d S t a t e s has fo rmer ly been impor ted ~rom Europe, pr incipal ly f rom Ger- ,many and Russia . The ou tb reak of t h e p r e s e n t wa r has cut off this supply and now the problem is to find n e w sou rces for obta in ing seed. The ,growing of bee t seed has been neg- l ec t ed in this coun t ry due to a de, c r e a s i n g sugar content ' i n bee t s f rom n a t i v e grown seed and also to the s c a r c i t y of the hand labor n e c e s s a r y in h a r v e s t i n g the crop. But now it is ~p t o the Amer ican f a rmer to grow b,is own seed.

Although most of the factories have sufficient seed on hand for the t916 sowing, ye t a cons iderable acre-

:age has been se t to seed beets . The b e e t s a re se t out ear ly in spr ing in r o w s four fee t apart , the crown of the bee t being jus t level with the sur- f ace of the ground.

F i r s t a large th ick c lus te r of leaves g rows up to abou t 18 inches in he ight and then the seed s ta lks appear . S o m e bee t s send up bu~ one large

:branching seed s ta lk but the major- i ty h a v e several , four to ten, of the tall b ranch ing stalks.

The beets a re cul t ivated both ways , s imilar to corn until about the first ,of J u l y when the seed s ta!ks get so tall , in some cases reaching up five and six feet, and bending over pre- v e n t cuItivation. When viewed nea r by a field of t he se plants does not p r e s e n t a very p repossess ing appear- a~ce, the tall, s t raggl ing seed s ta tks g r e a t l y r esembl ing targ~ plants of

A thorough mixing of •the m a n u r e wi th the soil ac t s quickly, and less m a n u r e will be needed. Long, coarse m a n u r e should be spread over the sod and plowed under.

Chamberlain, manager of the plant, who explained the processes from the time the crude milk entered the plant until it finally emerged into the fin- !ished product. Mr. Chamberlain star- led that the company would require a guarantee of at le'ast 1500 cows pro- ducing 30,000 pounds of milk daily. A sui~cient water supply and sewerage disposal are else important factors. The erection of a plant requires an investment of $100,000 and would require nine months or a year to place it in operation.
