If yon have neglected your renewal we will be glad it you will look after it during the next two weeks. Several petitions for ornamental 1 gilts are now being circulated and liberally signed. Indication's are that a half dozen streets will be thus Improved during the year. Nothing adds more to the appearance of a city than good looking and serviceable street lights.

Together with the bonus, the payment of the beet growers for beets amounted to about 1550.000 it was stilted by the local management of the Holland-St. Louis Sugar company this morning. ' During the 1924 campaign 66.000 tons of sugar beets were ent and made into sugar at the local mill. The tonnage last year was not as heavy as the previous year, due to the unfavorable spring and weather condi-, tions. I Securing New Contracts Fieldmen for the sugar company are securing contracts for the 1925 crop and approximately 2,500 acres of beets have already been contracted for. The participating contract, which fixes the minimum price at 36.00. plus the bonus, is being generally used this year. In mailing the cheeks to the b<'et f.ugar growers the following letter was sent to them by John Carmody, local manager, which explains how the bonus is figured: "In accordance with th<' terms of your 1921 Beet Contract, yon arc entitled to a bonus piyment of 32.5756 per net ton of beets delivere 1. taieulated as follows: "The average extraction per net ton of beets received as determined by The Toledo Savings Bank & Trust Company, which is affived rt by di-1 riding the total number of pounds of sugar manufactured by the total number of tons of beets paid for, is 289.38 f pounds. “45% of 289.381 equals 139.221 jKiunds. "The average not market price of beet sugar for the period mentioned in the contract, as coinpnted by Willet & Gray, is $6.5851 i»er cwt.

The contests will be held in writing this year and all pupils in regular standing are eligible to enter the contest. , In the preliminary contests, the township chairmen will appoint three teachers to act as judges in disputes that may arise as to pronunciation and writing.

Feb. 13. —Abraham Lincoln stands as an inspiration for all rices and all time. President Coolidge de-, dared in a message to the Lious clubs. Lincoln birthday banquet here last uigbt. The message said in part: “Everywhere men are moved by a deeper, a more real, a more urgent sense of their duty to oue another and to the higher interests of society of which all are members. As we look back, seeking the origin of the inspiration, our attention is more and more arrested by the figure of Abraham Lincoln. "H's service to humanity was not for a single generation, nor for a particular race or country. It was truly a service to mankind and to all the generations that shall 'come after him.” In the first public utterance since his election, Vice President-elect iktwes told the I jons dub that Lincoln was not a "pussyfooter,” “Can you imagine Lincoln pussyfooting or straddl'ng all over both sides of any issue?” Dawes queried. “Can you see him sidestepping as some • cowardly politicians of today are doing? Imagine his preaching doctrine ou this side of the woods and tho opposite doctrine on that side.” When Dawes concluded, a roar of ‘‘('barley Dawes for president in 1928" shook the hall. -—;— o—-— AVe can never fully estimate the debt of gratitude we owe to our ancestors for establishing our system of common schools.
