The Man Who Wins
The man who' wins is the man who
goes ' "
Ahead with his work each day;
Who's never struck by his adverse
luck,
But makes of his labors play;
From early dawn he will toil right
on,
And know that the world's all right
And he sings a song as he goes along,
For it sharpens his appetite.
The man who wins is the man who
smiles
And sees that the sky is blue;
He is always there with a great big
share
Of smiles and of sunshine, too;
He never growls, and he never howls
That the world is out of gear
But he meets the shocks and the
; jealous knocks
'With a great, broad smile of cheer.
The man who wins is the willing man,
Who grinds while others play;
The sun shines bright and his heart's
all right,
Though things may not come his
way.
He makes a boast that to get the
most
Of life away ev'ry newborn day,
If you ever expect to win.

SAY, MR.
When in need of Flour, where do
you go to buy it? Rather a
direct question, but one of im
portance to us.
Don't you think it would be to
your best interests to use home
Flour? If you have wheat , to
sell, where do you go to get the
best. price for it? If you are in
need of bran, shorts, or other mill
feed, to whom do you go for your
supply?
These are questions of import
ance, and worthy of your careful
consideration. Think them over
carefully, and cooperate with us
in making this one of the best
milling points in the county.

Eat More Cheese
"Store" cheese more properly
known as American Cheddar is more
nourishing pound for pound, than
any meat and therefore should have
a prominent place in the diet as a
meat substitute.
Few people in this country eat
cheese in sufficient qualities for it
really to.form an important part of
the daily' fare. Indeed, it is used
more often simply as an appetizer or
ps a seasoning for some other food.
Nearly every one relishes good
American Cheddar, or "store" cheese,
but there is an impression that it is
indigestible and constipating. Exten
sive digestion experiments carried on
by the Department of Agriculture
have demonstrated that more than 95
per cent of the protein of cheese is
digested and 90 percent of its energy
is available. Even when eaten in
large quatities and for long periods,
no case of indigestion, constipation,
or other disturbances were observed
in those who ate it. One man who
ate cheese as the chief source of both
protein and energy, eating an aver
age of 9.27 ounces Vlaily, with bread
and fruit, for more than two years,
did a fair amount of muscular work
and kept in good health.
American Cheddar cheese is a very
satisfactory substitute for meat. It
can be kept in storage for a long
time, and contains much food in small
volume.
A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much "energy as a
pound of fowl or round steak and al
most twice as much protein as the
ame amount'of fowl or ham., Cheese,
therefore, is usually a cheaper food
than the meats.
Cheese can also be combined in
many palatable dishes. When grat
ed it may be used in soups or with
many vegetables. Other foods in
which cheese is used are: Macaroni
rnd cheese, vegetable and cheese;
rolls, cheese omelet, oatmeal and
cheese, and cheese mash.

Don't for the Jelly Maker
Doh't have soft jelly. You will if
you use more sugar than is required
for the fruit juices of if you do not
boil the juice long enough after the
sugar hos been added to drive off the
excess of water.
Don't have tough jelly. You will

you boil your juice too long after the
jellying point has been reached. V
Don't have crystals in jelly. These
appear when there is an excess or de
ficiency of sugar. They are found
sometimes when the juice has boiled
to too great a concentration before
the addition of sugar or when the
sirup spatters on the side of the pan,
where it dries and is eventually car
ried into the finished product, seeding
itw ith crystals. In grape jelly mak
ing crystals may be more certainly
prevented by using a small portion
of apple jelly juice, or, better, orange
pectin solution.
Don't have cloudy jelly. This may
be due to having cooked the fruit too
long before straining the juice or to
not having used sufficient care in
straining. Apple or crabapple jelly
sometimes grows cloudy on standing
principally because partly green fruit
has been used.
Cucumber Relish
Three quarts cucumbers sliced
thin; four large onions sliced thin;
one large green pepper, all soaked in
two quarts water with one-half cup
salt over night. Scald together one

one-half teaspoonful tumeric; two
teaspoonfuls cinnamon; one-half tea

spider or pancake griddle well greas

Velva Taylor Suffers Breakdown
Miss Velva Taylor, well known in

Taylor, at one time pastor of the local
Congregational church, was taken to
the university hospital at Ann Arbor
a couple of weeks ago to receive
treatment for a mental breakdown
and nervous collapse. Her condition
i considered serious. . The Taylor
family are now residing in Detroit,
Kev. Taylor having given up the
ministry to accept a well paying posi
tion in the magneto department of
the Ford Motor works.
While here Mr. Taylor resided in
the house now owned by Dr. Orr,
which he had purchased of Mrs. C. E.

CHILDRENS PULPIT
A Causeless Quarrel
Elmer and his younger brother
were in the back yard building a lit
tle barn of some bricks which they
had gathered together. They were
getting along nicely until they came
to the place where each had an idea
of his own. Elmer knew his way was
right, and his brother was equally
certain that his was the correct way,
A quarrel started which ended in the
brother crying and Elmer kicking the
wall . down as he started . away and
calling back, "Cry-aby, cry-baby."
Elmer did not feel just rignt about
it 'as he climbed into the shed loft
and threw himself onto the hay. A
few minutes later he was fast asleep.
His eyes were hardly closed when he
heard a terrible confusion in the shed
below. He listened and learned that
the horse, the cow and the sheep,
w ho had always lived together in
peace, had suddenly fallen into a
rage, each toward the other two.
Elmer trembled as he realized the
fury to which the dispute was apt to
lead. There was no telling what
such anger might do.
Luckily old Rover, the dog, happen
ed along aryl each of the trio appealed
to him for a decision. Now, Rover
was both wise and brave. He gave a
vicious growl and order was restored.
"Now," he asked, "what is all this
about? Let each one state his, case
and I'll judge between you. And all
must abide by my decision."
The horse spoke first, "Your Hon
or, the question is: Which is the cor
rect way to bite off grass. So far as
I am concerned there is no quarrel.
I know; but my friends here have
gone crazy. J say that it is to be
bitten off with a side jerk of the head,
thus." Here he illustrated his point
"I know this is right, for it came na
turally to me. Besides my mother,
my grandmother, and all my ancest
ors, as far back as our history goes,
ate this way."
Hfre the cow spoke up. "IJe and
all his ancestry are wrong. I can
trace my history back as tar as he
can his. All my foreparents bit, or
rather broke, the grass off with a
forward movement, thus." She, too,
illustrated her meaning. "The rea
son I know, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, that I am right is that none
of us ever had any upper front teeth.
We could not eat otherwise if we
wished to." '
At this the sheep "butted in." "So
far as ancestors are concerned, every
body knows that mine were more in
telligent, and therefore more apt to
bo correct, than either of theirs.
They -always nibbled their grass,
which is the proper way. As my
mother told me, we can eat it closer
to the ground. Now if the horse or
cow want to get seriously hurt just
let either of them say that my mother
was wrong. I know what I'm talking
"O foolish foots!" said Rover.
"You remind me of people. They
quarrel and fight and even kill one
another over just such senseless
things. Next you will be wanting to
ouarrel with me over how to drink.
The Lord made us all, didn't He?
And there is more than one way, even
right way, to do a thing. The import
ant thing is the grass."
Elmer remembered it all the next
day in rebuilding their barn, and he
and his brother easily agreed as to
how it should be built.
In these stirring war times the re
cording angel must have a corps of
typewriters. Let us hope that some
things we do may not be noticed.
Prices are s6 high that it is hard
for one to pay his respects this year.

pumpkin pie for its badge because it

The Soap Bubbles
There sat in the shade of a Tree
the son of my son, and the daughter
of the daughter of Keturah. And
they are both small children, between
two and three years of age. And
they had each of them a Clay Pipe,
and between them was a Pan of Soap
Suds. And they spake unto me, say
ing, Come, Grandpa, and Blow thou
Soap Bubbles.
Anil T cot ma Anwm rn tVio Pino
j Needles, and I blw Soap Bubbles,
land they also blew. .And when the
1 bubbles were blown 'the lad smote
pthe Bubbles with his Fist, for he is a
Man; and the damsel pricked them
with a Hairpin. And part of the
time I blew and part of the time the
children blew.
And some of the Bubbles brake be-
1 fore they began, and others swelled
into great round balls, and floated
afar. And the sun shone on them,
and there were all manner of color?.
even such as be in Rainbows. And I
marveled at the beauty of the Bub
bles, and at their frailty. And the
more I blew the more wonderful it
seemed. And I thought of a Mighty
Power that could roll Worlds into
space with effort like unto that of the
blowing of bubbles to me. And I
wondered if God did reckon His Bub
bles, even the World's that are for
a moment of time in the sight as God
reckoneth time to be of much more
consequence to the universe than
those which I blew. And I made lit
tle worlds of water and soap, and I
talked Profound Philosophy to the
two children, who understood me
quite as well as most philosophers
might have done. And I blew Bub
bles and I made Worlds in my Ima
gination. And there came to us Keturah and
her daughter, and the wife of my son.
And they said. Behold these three
chiMreri. how they pVay Urether.
And they said, When a pint of water
and the fourth part of a cent's worth
of soap will keep all three of them
happy for Threa Solid Hours, there
can be no cheaper or more harmless
amusement. .

If We Only Knew
If we could but draw back the cur
tains That surround each others lives;
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we would find it better
Purer than we judge we should;
We would love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we would love the sinner
All the while we loath the sin.
Could we see the powers working
To o'erthrow integrity,
We would judge each others error?
With more patient charity.
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
Knew the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain,
Would the grim external roughness
See, I wonder, just the same?
Would we help where now we hinder?
Would we pity where we blame?
Ah! We judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force,
Knowing the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source,
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains' of good;
Ah! We would love each other bet
ter If. we only understood. R. W. A.

man; he has enough degrees after his
name to supply a platoon of scien

granddaughter utterly confounded
him.
"Grandpa," said she, "I saw some
thing funny running across the kitch
en floor without any legs. What do
you think it was?"
Grandpa thought and thought, but
at last had to give it up.
"What was it?" he asked.
"Water!" replied the little lady
triumphantly.
