F rom May 9 t o December 31 , 1857, he was by appointment a jus­t ice of the Michigan Supreme Court . The appointment was made by Gov. Bingham. Inasmuch as Judge Tur­ner had served a* justice of the peace and as judge of p roba te in Living­ston county, as well as master in chancery, he filled every judicial of­fice within the gift of his s ta te and community.

In 1864. he was elected mayor of Owosso. serving two terms, and was in office when President Lincoln was assassinated. He issued the proclamation asking the merchants of O\vos?o to close for the Eman­cipator 's funeral .

Judge Turne r was a delegate to the constitutional convention in 18(5 7 and from 1882 to 1891 he was United States consul a t Am-herstburg, Ont. He was present at <he birth of the "Renublic^.n par tv "Under the Oaks'* a t Jackson and presided over its first s tate conven­tion held in Marshall in 1856. Judge Turner was 96 years old a t his death.

The port ra i t was accepted by the ba r association by Prosecuting At­torney Arthur Pierpont . who review­ed the life and work of J u d c e Tur­ner , and stated that it would be per­manent evidence of his outstanding record, and would serve to remind those who see it, of the long, honor­able and distinguished career of the jurist , and would be permanent evi­dence of his cntstanding record. The por t ra i t will, Mr. Pierpont said, add distinction to the court by joining the pr~ tJ r J t s of n t ^ r distinguished men who have served the circuit a s judge.

It has been said that there is noth­ing new under the sun, and that w e run the same course our fathers have run. This may be true of other re­ligions but cannot be said of Chris­tianity for Christianity begins where other religions end. It pushes for­ward toward a goal that other re­ligions did not think of, that is, spir­itual perfection, after the manner of the Perfect Man. "Be yet per­fect, even as your Ft*her in heaven is perfect." Such is Christianity's urge, onward and upward toward better things.

Great progress has been made, mentally and physically, but spirit­ually many are where they were when they first began. There is room to give more heed to your re­ligion and what it stands for and teaches. There is One knocking at the door of your heart now, will you open the door and admit Him?"

Services Sunday at 10:00 a. m. It is Temperance Sunday and the ser­mon will be on that theme. The Sunday School, 11:15 a. m. Young People's meeting at 7:00 p. m. Eve­ning services at 8 p. m. The Board of Temperance will present a drama. See notice elsewhere.

Most sugar buyers are homemak-ers, and homemakera are vitally in­terested in the future of young peo­ple, The question might be asked v'What does the beet sugar industry mean to the young people of Mich­igan?"

According to the educational de­partment of the Farmers and Man­ufacturers Beet Sugar Association of Saginaw, there is only sufficient sugar grown and processed in the United States to provide 1-4 of our national requirements. Itv Michigan there is only sufficient sugar pro* cessed to provide 3-5 of the state's requirements. There are available in Michigan every year 500,000 acres of beet land in proximity to factories. This year Michigan util­ized 140,000 acres, of between 1-3 and 1-4 of its potential production. Sugar beets are profitable to farm­ers—they fit into general farming as practiced in Michigan—the industry is an asset to every resident of the

„ . , state since it improves their economic _3L j status, through improvement of busi-^ ! ness conditions generally. All this

^ 1 means one thing to young people— * » J opportunity through expansion of the ^j^j industry—-expansion which offers J I more ramifications for employment

* * than any other industry, not even ex­cepting the automobile industry.

A sugar beet crop, in relation to other crops^ has a very definite af­fect on the buying power of the farmers. Sugar beets have a high acre value. The gross return to the farmer is high and he has more money to spend. Let us suppose that these 140,000 acres of 1938 beet land had been planted to corn. The Crop Reporting Board of the United States Department of Agriculture gives 36 bushels as the average yield per acre of corn in Michigan for 1938. Thus these 140,000 acres of land, if planted to corn, would have yielded 5,040,000 bushels with a val­ue of approximately $2,780,000 at Detroit prices. But the beet crop from these 140,000 acres is worth $8,000,000. Therefore, Michigan beet farmers and Michigan, gener­a l l y , g a i n s $5,220,000 in cash by raising sugar beets instead of corn, besides helping keep down the sur­plus of corn thereby benefiting the corn farmer.

Similar comparisons can be made for other Michigan cash crops, using current market prices of those com­modities to determine the cash value of the sugar beet crop over and above value of said crops, as follows:

Wheat $5,813,200 Oats .— 6,260,000 Barley 5,256,000 Beans ..._!____- 6,697,000 That the beet sugar industry is

certainly fulfilling its part in increas­ing agricultural income should be clear from the foregoing commentary on the economics of the industry. However, it cannot remake Michigan agriculture, for the crop is a part of general farming—the acreage of beets on each farm is comparatively small, and the total acreage of beets is extremely small in comparison to the total acreage of other crops. But it must be admitted that for its size, the sugar beet crop is going a long way toward improving the standards of living of farmers, and improving the economic position of •agriculture.

CAPITOL THEATRE Brilliantly acted, magnificently di­

rected and skillfully produced, "Tail Spin," 20th Century-Fox's thrilling melodrama of three women who fly, will receive an enthusiastic welcome when it flares across the screen of the Capitol theatre, starting Sunday, February 19. and continuing through Monday and Tuesday. Here, told for the first time, is the exciting story of women of the sky, their split-second escapes and the heart­throbs behind their spectacular lives.

Rarely has the, screen dealt with a more compelling theme than this, and rarely r \ s it succeeded in maintain-* ing such breathless suspense from befdnni**c to end. It is. in the opin­ion of this reviewer, the finest pro­duction yet to come from the studios of 20th Century-Fox and it bears the MnrMstakwble mark'of the srenius of Hollywood's top producer, Darryl F. Zanuck.

i Here, instead of attempting to cov­er the entire history of aviation. Mr. Zanuck and Roy Del Ruth, the direc­tor of tT"1 film,, strive to show whr>t

j induces these women to fly and, in cingrlincr out Trixie, Gerry and Lois ^or subjects, have succeeded in mak-\r\% the finest picture of its kind the film* have ever presented.

With Alice Faye. Constance Ben-iett, nnd Nancy Kelly in the starring TO]** arid each eontvibtttinp' splendid performances, "Tail Spin" is as not­able for its acting as it is for its theme. The versatile Alice Fave

MARKETS ASK FOR MORE CRANBERRY BEANS

When surpluses bother farmers, it is news when merchandise outlets in­form the farm crops department at Michigan State College that a cer­tain specific crop can be doubled without much danger to the price.

Cranberry beans are the crop. Michigan leads the nation now in

production of these beans. Yet in each of the past three years the bulk of the crop grown in this state has been shipped by February 1. It is so again this year, in spite Of 299,-000,000 pounds of them produced on Michigan farms in 1938. There is only an estimated 15,000 bags left in elevators.

Miners in several states lead the demand for the cranberry beans, says H. C. Rather, head of the farm crops department at the college. The market lies in areas in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Ten­nessee.

California also produces some of the cranberries, but not as large a crop as does this state. At present the market quotations are $4.50 a bag of 100 pounds, while the white ni->f» or navy bean is obtaining around $1.75 a bag.

What happens when the cranberry iype is gone? The miners then turn to the ninto, grown in Colorado, but their first preference is for the cranberry.

Not much danger is seen in over- j expansion in 1939. There is not suf-} ficient seed to overpHnt bevo^d probable market demands. Another reason is that elevator men estimate Michigan farmers can doable the cranberry bean production without injury to the market.

One afternoon, while sitting on his veranda Mark Twain observed a tall, spare man, slightly stooped, with kindly blue eves and an e;i^er face making his way up the path with a strange contraption under his nvm.

Yes, it. was an invention. The man explained it to the humorist, who lis­tened politely but explained when the man had finished that he had been burned too many times.

"But," cried the man, "I'm not asking you to invest a fortune. You can have as large a share as you want for five hundred dollars."

Mark Twain shook his head. The invention didn't make sense. The tall, stooped figure shouldered his contraption and started away.

"What did you say your name wa-s?" the author called after him.

"Roll," replied the inventor a little sadly, "Alexander Oiviham. Bell."-—-Vnnsfvnt Coryell, Christian Science Til on i tor.

Benjamin Robbins founded the science of gunnery, devising the first method of measuring the velocity of a cannon ball. Benjamin A. Gould (d. 1896) astronomer, discovered the difference in longitude between America and England.

Why Prefer Particular Colon Each of us has a preference for

some particular color, but not all of us know why. A slight knowl­edge of the meaning of color will help us analyze our likes and dis­likes. It is wise to consider the characteristic properties of individ­ual colors before we proceed to change the color combinations in our homes. Red, for instance, sym­bolizes vitality* energy, power. It is highly stimulating. Blue signi­fies tranquility. Psychologically, its influence is quieting. Yellow sym­bolizes light, cheerfulness. Green soothes, yet exhilarates.

The Different Bleed Types There are four main blood groups.

In classifying the types of blood two test serums are usea. u m« oioou does not clot with either serum the blood is type I; if it clots with both it is type IV; if it clots with one but not with the other it is type II or type III, depending on which one is present when the clotting takes place. The various types of blood do not indicate anything about health. All are normal.

was reported by the United States bureau of agricultural economics when the 1938 crop was tstimaied at 32,221,000 head. This year's pro­duction is about 5 per cent larger than in 1937, about two million head or nearly 7 per cent greater than the five year (1933-1937) average, and 606,000 head larger than the previous record crop of 1931. Tht increase from last year was a result of the larger crop in the West.

Cut t ing S i lhoue t tes Is A r t D a t i n g Back to 1709

The magic art of the silhouettist is given us in the shades of men, women and children of the long ago. They form & shadow procession in­teresting for the quaint costumes and for the delicate appeal of the pictured profiles of the subjects.

The name given these shades, as they were first called, was taken from that of Etienne de Silhouette, 1709-1787, whe lived in France and was one of the first to practice the art of shadow cutting. He was a French economist, relates Alice R. Rollins in the Los Angeles Times, whose ideas of economy did not ap­peal to the popular taste, and a pa­per picture did not accord with the spendthrift splendor of the French Court circle.

As a consequence, the poor, mean art, as it was then considered flour­ished bat a short tirhe. It was not until 1826, when another Frenchman, Edouart, introduced the name which is in general use for shadow pic­tures.

The fashion for paper portrait cut­ting in Europe became widespread as early as 1780. The color artists at Sevres and other porcelain fac­tories were painting black sil­houettes on cups, saucers and mugs. But it was in England that the art became supreme.

Freehand cutting had been done at an early period but it was not until August Edouart began his se­ries of portraits that the art be­came famous.

pei veal. Poultry and eggs, too, are produced on nearly 6,000,000 farms of this country, to the extent, of bil­lions of pounds, asserts an authori­ty in the Wisconsin Agriculturist.

In our plans for securing a sup­ply of meat, we have come a long way from the time when the head of the house went out with club or spear to hunt the wild game. The gigantic job of supplying meat for our table is so carefully planned and these plans so completely and thoroughly carried through that we scarcely realize what a tremendous business it is.

During recent years, the census of manufacturers lists the meat packing industry as first or second in the United States in every report issued.

In all the ages, our savage fore­fathers, their more enlightened de­scendants, and our nearer pioneer grandfathers found no more impor­tant work than how to find food and how to carry it back to the home cave, or hut, or cabin. We either directly or indirectly, spend most of our time solving lite same problem.

When we look at one of the larger hornbills, observes a writer in London Tit-Bits maga­zine, we wonder how it manages to keep its balance with a beak that ap­pears to be heavier than the body.

*...,.... -..,,.^.., ^..1UUU11 «^B«L« M.CI .3 t-. Some species carry a crown or horn .$656.48 rjc>s 0r Cortraits that the art he-i above the great beak, and this adds

to the weight. It is thought that the strange ap­

pearance of hornbills caused'the, an­cient invaders of India to originate

the i the mvth of the phoenix. This tell**' I I nickname ''Wolverine," according; u s of a fabulous female,, bird thai

lived lor five or six hundred years in the desert, then built for herself a funeral pyre of wood and aro-

e wolverine or glut- j matic gums,"to which she set fire'by hi « ™ »vt i^ t ' " ' the fanning of her wings, and so con­

sumed herself; but from the ashes she sprang up again in youth and fret-h:-J<\';S to live a few more cen­turies.

The hornbills of Africa have a loud, weird cry which often fright­ens superstitious natives; it resem­bles the braying of an ass or the loud cries of a person in pain. This remarkable note not ony keeps away native hunters, but a Is* mon­keys, wild cats, and other creatures that might prey upon them.

Many of the household furnishings of the early days of settlement of this country furnish a charming ex­pression of the decorative art of craftsmen who were called upon to supply the needful household arti­cles, in a new land.

This is true of the folk art of the early settlers who played so pro mi nent a part" in the colonizing Pennsylvania, relates Alice R. Rol­lins in the Los Angeles Times. Their bride-boxes, dower chests, cup­boards, tinware, pottery, fabrics, birth Certificates, wagons, in fact, everything they made, furnish an expression of folk art in decorative painting that is peculiarly their own. Most of this painting belongs to the Eighteenth century, although a piece may now and then be found belonging to the Seventeenth and again to the early part of the Nine­teenth.

This art may be seen at its best in their brideTboxes, which were made to hold the linen and other small finery dear to the heart of the prospective bride, for her per­sonal use. They were g.vfts of ' the bridegroom-to-be and were given at the time of the wedding or shortly before.

The boxes were either round or oval in shape and were made of thin pieces of white p\ne. They were left unpainted on the inside, though sometimes lined with decorated pa­per pasted over the entire surface. Outside they were generally covered with a solid ground color—red, yel­low, blue, green, brown, straw col­or, according to the inclination of the painter..- On this ground color the various decorative designs were painted in bright colors. As a rule the painting was crude and uncon­ventional, but the general effect has a freshness and vigor that gives it a special charm.

Another explanation, how­ever, is that Conrad Ten Eyck a tavernkcepcr about the year :,';,,,) made a . specialty of wolf steaks. After his guest had eaten a beef­steak or Iamb chop, he would be asked, "How did you like your woU steak?" A young girl who had been told in this manner that she had eaten wolf steak replied, "Then I suppose I am a Wolverine/' The name, first applied to those who had eaten at this inn, was later ex­tended to all the inhabitants oi Michigan.

G o s s a m e r . F i lmy Cobweb* Is P r o d u c e d by Sp i de r s

Gossamers are filmy cobwebs floating in the air or clinging to plants and other objects. Spiders eject them like other webs, in the form of viscid fluid. Sometimes sev­eral threads are produced simul­taneously.

It is supposed that the gossamers are spun when the spider is on an elevated point and that some of the

j webs are wafted by the wind as'thay I are ejected, Not infrequently thrv J spider, itself is carried away with a j tangle of webs. 'Often the single

strands of the web are so fine that they can not be seen readily except when the sun is shining on them.

'•'Gossamer" is supposed to be de­rived from "gos," goose, and "som-er," summer. It is generally as­sumed, states a writer in the In­dianapolis News, that "goose" in this connection refers to the ' h>wny" appearance of the gossa­mer; but the theory has been ad­vanced that the word may have al­luded originally to the clear warm weather which frequently occurs in the fall when geese are supposed to be in season and to have been extended to the chief characteristic of this period in some sections, namely, the appearance of these webs.

Far-fetched as the theory may seem, the fact that "summer-goose" is a localism in England for "gossa­mer" is pointed out in confirmation. Gossamers are in fact seen chiefly during warm weather in the fall, and this has led some naturalists to the conclusion that these cobwebs are produced only by young spiders Chaucer refers to the gossamer as an unsolved riddle, and it was once widely believed that this phenome-

was somehow produced by dew.

of the Latin Gratiana, meaning "of exceeding grace." The Latin root of the wcrd may mean not only "grace" but "divine favor/ ' "es­teem," "kindness" or "thankful­ness." The Italian forms Graziosa, "gracious," and CJraxiella, **thank-ful," come from the same root,- and Gracienne means "little graceful one." It will be observed that "grace" may have both a physical and spiritual interpretation, St. Gratia was an early virgin martyr.

Excavations revealed that the cave was used by prehistoric man as a place of burial, the method being to dig a hole, place a body in it and then light a fire on top. Eventually, when the dead had to be buried, excavations were made through the charred remains of those interred years before. Among the objects found were beau­tifully carved cpal, jade and rock crystal beads. The excavators be­lieve that traders about 4000 B.

Jeweler's Rouge Jeweler's rouge is a mineral subr

stance, In its preparation crystals of sulphate of iron, commonly known as copperas, are heated in iron pots, by which the sulphuric acid is expelled and the oxide of iron remains. Those portions least calcined, when ground, are used for polishing gold and silver. These are of a bright crimson color. The darker and more calcined portions are known as crocus, and are used in polishing glass, metal or gems. Jeweler's rouge is a fine, gently calcined variety.

TRIMMING CATTLE HOOFS MADE EASY

Device Permits Shaping of Foot While on Ground.

By Dr. George G. Taylor, Exteockm Dairy­man. New J«r*ey CoUec* of

Agriculture,—WKU Service. Modern equipment and improved

technique have greatly reduced the hazards and difficulties of hoof trim­ming and proper care of the feet of dairy animals.

It has always been especially dif­ficult to trim the feet on older bulls. Throwing an animal by means of ropes is difficult and there is dan­ger of injuring the animal. There is a new device equipped with long handles which permit plenty of lev­erage.

The cutting edge is slightly curved and set at an angle that will permit easy trimming and shaping the hoof while the foot is resting on the ground in a normal manner. Both the sides as well as the toes can be shaped as desired in a minimum of time and effort. The animal should be placed on level ground or preferably on a cement floor in or­der that the hoof will contact the ground in a normal standing posi­tion.

If the hoof is rolled or turned over on the sides or toes,, it may be nec­essary to shape the bottom of the hoof in addition. A sharp pair ot snippers and a blacksmith knife may be used for this purpose. It is com­paratively easy to pick up the front feiit for trimming but handling the hind feet is more difficult. Cording the hind leg just above the hock with a small diameter rope win make the task of picking up the hind feet much easier. When the rope is tightly drawn the teg soon becomes numb and much easier to handle. If the animal starts to fight when the cord is first placed around the leg, permit the animal to step around a few minutes before at* tempting to raise the hoof from the ground.
