r - TIE SUGAR anuf‘ 'rers   a last- desp‘ei‘ate effort to
get their acreage without recognizing the collectiVe rights of the
farmers. Unless the farmers are on their guard» every moment a great
many of them are going to be deceived by the false and misleading pro-p
paganda-of the factories; " ' ~ " g ' '

Large advertisements-signed by the sugar companies have appeared
in many of the. weekly papers of . the sugar beet/ territory, urging the
farmers to grow beets. Accompanying the' advertisements is- a letter
supposedly written by a farmer stating why HE will grow beets. The
letter sounds as if it was dictated by a manufacturer. No honest-to-
God farmer who had any kind of a conception of right and justice or
who had any respect for the standing of himself and family in his com-
munity could have written it,—-without a price. Some men will sell
their souls for a dollar. There might be a justiﬁable excuse for these
“farmers” to grow beets, but there could be no excuse why they should
publicly urge other farmers to forswear their vows and surrender un-
conditionally to the capitalists who own the sugar factories.

An advertisement signed by the Holland-St. Louis' Sugar 00.,
paints in glowing language the wonderful opportunities that exist this
year for the beet grower. Manager Hubbard says it is not unreasonable
to predict FIFTEEN DOLLAR sugar beets this year. Two weeks pre-
viously Manager Wallace of the Michigan Sugar 00., predicted SIX-
TEEN DOLLAR beets. Neither of them know. They are guessing.
They are guessing for a reason. And the tragic part of it all is that
some of the farmers have swallowed the bait, and will grow beets under
a contract that gives the manufacturer as much PROFIT per ton of
beets as the farmer receives GROSS. ‘

“You Are Partners in Our “Business”

So says Manager Hubbard of the Holland-St. Louis Sugar Co. Ye
Gods ! What hypocrisy i What prostitution of the truth I What an
insult to the intelligence of men l “Partners in the business.” Mebbe
so, mebbe so. A partnership in which the farmer does all the work,
takes all the chances, kets all the loss, and turns the proﬁts that
rightfully belong to mover to the boss manufacturer.

There. is no partnership between the manufacturer and the grow-
er. The man acturer writes the contract without consulting the wish-
es of the grower,\and in the majority of cases in the past the grower has
humbly accepted the contract, not because he was sure he could make
any money under it, but because he was willing to take a long chance.
When he has asked to be consulted—to be made a partner in the in-
dustry, if you please,—he has been spurned and insulted and made to
feel that he is of no account.

Manufacturers Ready for a Killing

There is no longer any doubtbut that the manufacturers are plan.-
ning on a “killing” this year. If they pay the farmers $16 per ten for
beets, nothing can prevent them from making the greatest proﬁts in the
history of the industry,—-proﬁts that will double and treble the value
of sugar stock. Never was there such a golden opportunity before the
manufacturers. And they will have their harvest, too,—if the govern-
ment does not step in. Never was there such a lden opportunity be-
fore the farmers to get a fair share of these profit: They likewise can
have their share if they only will.

. Look to the Future - .
Another day is coming in the sugar industry. It will be a day of
large production and low prices. The manufacturer is preparing this.
year against that day, and at the expense of'th’e farmer. "If the manu-
facturer will not recogmz' e the farmer‘now when he needs the beeﬁ
how much less consideration will he give the farmer when the ne
for beets is not so great! The farmer .will be the man who will suffer
when low prices come, for he will have no reserve proﬁts,-—no sinking
fund,——to fall back upon during the lean years. But not so with the
manufacturers. Fortiﬁed with the reserve created during the year 1920
—if the farmers lose their ﬁght,—the manufacturers can suvive any
number of lean years and be none the worse 01f. It is with this fore-
sight that the manufacturers will, if they can, defeat you, my farmer
friends, in your ﬁght for recognition and a just price. /-And it ought to
bewith the same kind of foresight for the future of your business, that
you should stand unswecrvingly by the position you have taken and show
the manufacturers that you intend to be a partner in this industry.

 ~V Canadian Farmers Learn the Value Of Loyalty V

Great Strides Taken Politically and Economically Because Farmers Stick to Their Organizations

HE FARMERS as a force in Canadian
politics have certainly arrived ! The
emergence ‘of the farmers’ partyfin the Do-
‘ninion Parliament under the leadership of
Hon. . A. Crerar, formerly Minister of Ag-
,rieiﬂture in the Union government and the
dramatic» turn-over of power in Ontario, so
, that Premier Drury presides over ,the ﬁrst
rovincial farmers’ govérnment in the Domin-
ion—have drawn public attention to the fact
that the farmer in Canada is :‘m‘ politics—very
much in politics. 'The actual number of mem-
bers elected to the federal house at the mo-
ment is not great—the new party numbers 13
just now—but their influence is out of all pro-
portion to their numbers. That is because the
men are generally recognized to be the van-
guard of the host that will be elected at the
next Dominion election, judging by all pres-
ent indications. It is also because there is a
freshness of utterance and largeness of vision
about the farmer legislators already elected.
The political calculations of the old time part-
iu have been ruthlessly upset and the farm-
era are claiming that 'in their new movement
not merely the farmers but the general public
is speaking to the historic parties the words,
“We are, tired of you. It is time for a
change.” - .

Notwithstanding the dramatic nature of
the events in Ontario, it is in the west that the
political strength of the new movement is es-
tablished. Mr. O. R. Gould, M. P., himself
recently elected by a tremendous majority in
the Assiniboia constituency in Saskatchewan
is authority for the statement that there are
now approximately 150,000, electors behind the
candidates of the new National party (the
favored designation of the new party) in the
three prairie provinces: He estimates that
there are 75,000 adherents of the new party
in Saskatchewan, 40,000 in each of the prov—
inces of Manitoba and Alberta and at that
says nothing about British Columbia, whose
newly established farmers’ organization has a
membership of 4,000 and is rapidly growing.
It is evident that at the next general election
in the Dominion a body of electors of that
III. in a thinly populated country like west-
ern Canada will mean/a large accession to the
ranks ,of farmer M. Pa’s. The conservative
utimate today is that the new National party
will elect at least 30 members in the prairie
provinces when the electors mark their, ballots.

For a moment let us turn to consider the
origin of the movement that has become with-
in the last year or two so great a force in Do-
minion life and politics. It was in December,
41901 that a few leading farmers of the district
net at Indian Head, Saskatchewan and de-
cided to form an association for the protection
of the interests of the, farmer against the
growing tendency of the big transportation
and elevator concerns tolfleece him. At that
time the movement was a mere protest against
economic  (Those were the days of
'80 and 40 cent wheat and there Was some need
to protest.) The ﬁrst convention had ‘presént
representatives from 38 local associations. Now

‘_ there are 100,000 deﬁnite members of the as-
peiationsin the three great prairie branches
1 of. the movement and, as Mr. Gould points out,
a great outside public ready toaupport their
pennies: Such phenomenal owth is a tribute

V. to the fact thatthe associauonhaawmetxa rea- .

been busy gathering adherents, educating
their constituencies and perfecting their or-
ganization. The associations have succeeded
in teaching the farmer that he is more than a
farmer—he is a citizen. They have helped to
broaden the farmer’s outlook and led him to
cast his eyes and project his thoughts far be-
yond his own half section. The associations
have also been powerful agents in the improve—

 

 

The Thing That Wins

T MUST be clear to all farmers that if

sufficient numbers of them take a posi-
tion in defense of their just rights, they
must win out. But farmers do not learn
this except by bitter experience. For
years the farmers of ‘the west attempted
half-heartedly to protect themselves from
the avarice and dishonesty of the grain
dealers. They did not succeed. Then
they organized a N on-Partisan League
and got what belonged to them. The Bet

growers of Colorado and other western
g states have made repeated attempts to get

a fair share of the proﬁts of the industry,
but it was not until this year when every
last man determined to stand loyally by
his association that an was accom-
plished. The history of the Canadian
farmers’ economic and political struggles
has been the same. Fifty per cent loyal-
ty will not win. One hundred per cent
will, every time.—Editor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ment of general living conditions on the prair-
ies. The Grain Growers have always stood
for an insistence on the fact that life is more
than money and have advocated better roads,
better homes, better schools, better churches——
with marked effect. ' They have, in addition,
done more than any other agency to' break
down that individualism and conservatism
that seem natural to the prairie farmer and
have made possible united and successful ac-
tion for better social conditions on the prairie.

A programma such as this naturally appeal-
ed to other rural dwellers than the farmers
themselves. Wisely enough, the associations
did not limit their membership to farmers,
but welcomed the support of all desirous of
helping forward the things for which the
movement stood. The result has been that the
membership today includes many preachers
and teachers in particular, who have done
their best for the cause. In these latter days,
when the National party is appealing for po-
litical support, the movement is meeting with
its reward for the policy of the open door pur-
sued through the years. It is signiﬁcant that
at the recent by-election Mr. O. R. Gould of
Assiniboia was supported by an overwhelm-
ing number of the people of the small towns
of the constituency, class lines being absolute-
ly- obliterated. ' . -

For many years these associations and their
members had an indirect rather than a direct
influence upon politics. It was known gen-
erally where they stood on different matters of
public policy and both “historic parties”-
made bids for their support. In 1911 the farm-
ers of the west almost to a man supported Sir
Wilfrid Laurier in his reciprocity scheme, but

in 1917 the mass of them supported the, Union

party lines, though there is a strong move-
ment now for farmers’ governments in the
prairie provinces, especially in Alberta. In
both provincial and Dominion governments “
prominent men have been elected to seats and

in a number'of cases to places in the cabinets.
But they sat by virtue of the fact that they
supported a Liberal or Conservative or Union-

ist government, not because of their position

as Grain Growers. All the same the Grain
Growers have been a tremendous influence in
politics for a long time. At the recent Sas-
katchewan convention Hon. George Langley,
himself an ofﬁcial of the Grain Growers, de-
clared that theoGrain Growers had got every
important reform for which they had asked

his government. More than once a resolution

of one of the Grain Growers’ conventions has
been the means of initiating government ac-
tion.

‘But it was not until November, 1916 that
the farmers could even be said to have gone
into politics. At that time the Canadian
Council of Agriculture, the organization link-
ing the different provincial branches, issued
its ﬁrst statement of a platform for Dominion
aﬁFairs. That platform has been revised twice
since that time, has been before the associa-i
tions of the diiferent ‘ provinces for adoption
and has come to be the rallying point for the
farmers and others who favor its adoption.

What sort of reforms are these farm-
ers so anxious to have brought about? They
have been widely accused by the members of
the old line parties of “class politics,” so an
examination of their platform should be use-
ful in the discovery of what grounds it af-
fords for such an accusation. Let us run rap-
idly over the leading planks in the platform.
First of all, there is the gradual reversion to.
a policy of free trade, including an immediate
and substantial all—around reduction of the
customs tariff, the present reduction of tariff
on goods from Great Britain to one-half and
gradual reduction to absolute free trade in
ﬁve years, an endeavor to secure reciprocal
trade in natural products With the United
States, the placing of all foodstuffs on the
free list, also of agricultural implements, that
reductions made to other countries be also
granted to Great Britain and that corporations
engaged in the manufacture of protected
goods be obliged to publish a statement of
their proﬁts. So you see they are drastic
enough in their views on the tariff question
but they claim, and, surely, rightly, that such
tariff reductions would beneﬁt, or the reverse,
all other sections of the general public.

On other public questions, they have a plat-
form, which has been described by the press
generally as the most statesmanlike platform, .
before the Canadian public. Here are some
points, tax on unimproved land values, grad-
uated income tax, tax on the proﬁts of corpor-
ations, no more natural resources be alienated
from the Crown, the introduction of a land
settlement scheme, public ownership of util-
ities in railway water and aerial, telephone,"f “
telegraph and express systems, no titles to be
conferred on Canadians in the future, the
senate to be reformed, abolition of the patron» , ,
age system, removal of all press censorships,‘ ‘
proportional representation, direct legisla,tion,_
opening of seats to women on equal terms to"
men and the prohibition of the 
importation and sale of liquor as a beverag 
That is the (in of the platform and you 
judge for yourself whether it is a class plat.-

form. _

 
   
  
       
        
  

   
  

       

  
   

   


  

  
  

E WERE hardly prepared for

 , , the unanimous vote whiclr has
~ .. ;been cast by members of the
Michigan Milk Producers’ Ass’n, in
» favor of a farmer-owned distributing
‘- plant in the city of Detroit. Al-
though this questionnaire has been
i. “published in only one issue the re—
' spouse has been very gratifying, and
without a single exception all be-
lieve that the milk producers should
market their dairy products.

BelOw we reproduce a number of
letters that have been received upon
the subject. The questionnaire will
be continued for some time to come
and we trust every producer who
markets his milk in the city of De-
troit will let his position on this
important matter be known. The
coupon printed two weeks ago will be
found on this page. Clip 'it and tell
us what YOU think about this sub-
ject.

“We Are Ready" Says Robin Carr

“I have never started a letter with
more enthusiasm for the subject than
I am this one. And it's nothing new
with me, thank goodness, this start
towards a farmers’ distributing
plant. I’ve put it up to N. P. Hull,
the Detroit News and other parties
and interests with always the same
reply—‘ I was 20 years ahead of the
time.’

“I’ve also asked why with one dol-

v lar and one man invested and work-
ing for thedistributor to 100 for
the producer why did it take more
to distribute than produce.

“And the one big thing I ﬁgure is
to-push the idea of just one distribu—
tor plant for Detroit and that the
farmers’. We don't want to enter
in competition, that would be just
one more waste. We want to start
something to cut out the present
criminal. waste of distributing milk.
If every milk producer within one
hundred miles of Detroit says we will
sell milk to just one plant and that
the farmers' what more is to be said.

“The elevators and mills have
seen the steam roller coming and
have been anxious to sell their prop-
erty before their competitor sold out
to the co-ops and who knows but if
our noise is loud enough right from
the start the Detroit milk distribut-
ors may want to dodge the roller.

“The farmer is just beginning to
feel his power and say, isn't it fun?
Think of it—the idea that in any—
thing '50 direct as milk from farm to
user that we have got to have some-
body standing between holding no
gun telling us we get so much and
the user pays so much. I can’t see
myself 20 years ahead of the times
in wanting to mind my own business.
I'd sooner say I was 20 years under
the sod if I didn’t say it was the only
solution and why not now.

“The dairy interests and )oiiCles
of Michigan have been dict? red and
dominated by a few Holstein breed—
ers who have done an unseli‘ sh good
work. but their vision I would say
has been too narrow and they are
not big enough for the job longer.
At our last local producers’ meet—
ing out of a big crowd I was the only
one interested enough to ask Secre—
tary Reed—‘what about a plant?'—-—
and he said ‘Are we ready?’ I’ll
agree THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARM-
“ should operate a sub-soil plow and

. see if they couldn’t uncover a multi-
tude of our dear departed (mental-
ly)‘ who are still with us physically.

and extra good herd of cattle we
could clean up $15,000 to $20,000.
But suppose tomorrow lightning hits
our farm and burns up our cattle and
barn and lowers the value of our
farm, where are we? I don't call
that farming. I have done things at
a disadvantage my wholealife for
lack of funds. There is a ditch
stringing quack grass through the
middle of our best forty that should
have been tiled 10 years ago. I-don't
believe there is better evidence of
what dairying has not been than that.
So I say go to it, you’ll make a kill-
ing and I'm glad your hands are
free to do it. Michigan has always
needed just such an enterprise as
yours. ThanIks."——-Robin Carr, Living-

Systematized Milk Business

"Dear Editor—In your May 8th
issue you want to know if we, the
producers of milk are in favor of
handling the selling of our milk in
the city of Detroit.

“I lived in the city of Detroit near-
ly all "of my life (29 years) and have
seen a little of the distributing and

handling of milk and the just ve‘rr

diet that I would give the present
system is so rotten that it stinks.

“We have twelve farmers that ﬁde— .

liver their milk to the station for

shipping to the city in our route, one '

of which hauls the milk as his turn
comes. You ask anyone of them if
he could afford to go every day in-
stead of every twelfth‘ day with his
milk to the station and he would say:
‘I would have to sell my cows as the

‘ expense is too great,’ and some send

nearly 40 gallons daily. That is
equivalent to the same with distri-
buting. You can plainly see the
overlapping of routes and deliveries
and the needless expense and over-
head which must be met by such
an impractical system that now ex-
ists. ’  '
“My solution that I offer is this:
Take a survey of the city of Detroit
and determine, every station on the
railroad and electric where milk
comes to the city, proximity of the
stations to the density of population
and have them located at' certain
points along these lines near where
a receiving plant with full equipment
can receive and handle it in a sys—
tematic way without any duplica-

‘tion whatever and deliver it to the

public. One such central plant and
maybe twelve others distributed at
best advantage as a survey would
determine throughout the city. If
you have ‘ever seen a progressive
track in an automobile factory you
can understand my estimation of
system.

“Elbert Hubbard said that he used :’

to deliver milk when; they used" an
angle iron to notify their patrons of

the pr‘esenceof the milk peddler in ’

the neighborhood, and that he lost
his iob because he thOught he could
do his work faster by delivering it
to the door instead of waiting for

people to come out and get it them- «

selves. This is the only evolution
that the milk distribution has had
since my boyhood days, except the
pasteurizing, bottling, etc., demand-
ed by the board of health.

A blind man can see the antiquity 5

of the present lack of system.

This opportunity for people to meet

,factor in making the country life a
desirable“ life. '

s The consolidated school moreover
makes it possible to have better
trained and experienced teachers.
Teachers prefer to work where‘there
are other teachers and where they
have fewer grades with more time
for the instruction of each grade.
The study made of Grosse Ile con-

.solidate‘d school, the six consolidat—

ed schools of Iron County organized
under the township system, and the
rural agricultural school at Otter
Lake, Portage Township, Houghton
County, indicated this to betrue. In
Grosse Ile eighty-ﬁve per cent of the
teachers were normal school gradu-
ates, having had two years of train-
ing aboveﬁthe four years of high
school. ' Seventy per cent of the
teachers had had three years or
more of experience.

In the Iron county consolidated
schools, eighty seven per cent of the
teachers employed were college. or
normal school graduates, having
from two to four years of training
above the four years of high school
work. Sixtydour per cent of the
teachers had had three years or more
of experience.

In-the rural agricultural school, a
iconsolidated school at Otter Lake, all
teachers employed “were either col-
lege or state normal school .gradu-
ates. Sixty-six per cent had three
years or more of experience. .

Compare these facts with the con.-
ditions in our one-room schools. In .
1918, but forty-six percent of these
teachers had had one year or more
of normal school training, and many_
of this number were not graduates
from a four year high school. In
1915, and the conditions would be
about the same now, but twenty-two
per cent had had three years or more
of experience. The experience of
seventy-eight per cent of these teach-
ers ranged from none to two years.
This, put in other terms, means that
the boys and girls of seventy—eight
are
being taught by immature teachers
with limited experience.

Is the consolidated school expen-
sive? In answer to this question I

namely, shoddy and cotton,'and to
give the people the knowledge of the
“presence of substitutes—the knowl—
edge that is. the people’s only pro-
tection against those who would pro-
cure for the substitute the price of
the genuine. -

The Truth in Fabric Bill would
lowar the price of clothes because of
the following reasons:

1. The bulk of the raw material
now used in woolen apparel sold as
all wool, is shoddy.

Under the Truth in Fabric Bill,
shoddy can no longer be sold as vir—
gin wool, and shoddy proﬁteering'
would consequently be stopped and
the price of shoddy would inevitably
be forced down. .,

Therefore, the-price of all apparel
containing shoddy would immediate-

1y~be lowered, and vthis'would .include ‘

a very large part of all apparel.

2., The“ passage of the Truth in
Fabric Bill Would also immediately
multiply the produgtidn '- of virgin
Wool fabrics for the following rea-
son: ~ ~  .

Four busses at $2,227.89, making

This school is not organized under
the Rural Agricultural law for con—
solidation. If it were it would re~
ceive each year $600.00 for mainten—

’ance and $200 for each vehicle used

as the seven consolidated districts op—
erating under this act are receiving.
This would be an additional amount
of $1,400 which would be subtract~

ed, making the cost to the tax pay-_

ers of Mattawan $8,024.28. This
cost is more nearly proportionate
than that which each primary dis-
trict paid for its school, but it is not
excessive when the advantages of
the consolidated school are consid—
ered.

Below are the amounts that are be-
ing paid this year for transporta—
tion in several of the consolidated
schools:

Buckley Consolidated School, Wex-
ford County: Three busses—One at
$4.00 per day; tw0 at $2.00 per day.

Napoleon Consolidated School,
Jackson County: Four busses—one
at $9.00 per day; one at $8 per day;
one at $6.50 per day; one at $5.80
per day.

With the Truth in Fabric Bill en-
acted into law, the fabric manufact-
urer could no longer, as now, divert
the people’s demand for virgin wool
to the rag and shoddy industries, and
fabric manufacturers would conse—
quently be forced to make up into
fabrics the vast quantities of virgin
wool now lying in the storehouses.

(b) It is estimated that, because
of lack of ships to transport the wool
from where it was produced to where
it could be manufactured into cloth,
there accumulated throughout the
world during the war 1,265,000,000
pounds of virgin wool.

(0) Notwithstanding the fact

’-that the world produces only one-
third or less as much virgin wool as
is needed in any one year, yet, on
September 1, 1919, nearly ten
months after the signing of the arm-
istice, there was in the United States
more than 700,000,000 pounds of
virgin wool, an amount which ex-
ceeds by 100,000,000 pounds the
United States annual consumption of
virgin wool.» ‘

Furthermore, at the present time,

Vnearly a year and a half after the
signing of the armistice, it is esti-
matedthat there is more than one
- billion pounds of "virgin ,wool in the
World’s store—houses, , elusive- of the

Is transportation practicable and
feasible? Transportation is practic—
able. It has passed the experiment-
a1 stage. It is being carried out in
every part of Michigan under all
kinds of climatic conditions. It has
proved successful in the Dakotas and
Minnesota Where the winters are as
severe as any place in Michigan. It
has proved successful in states farth-
er south Where road conditions due
to mud have to be overcome. The
covered vehicles used in transportau}
tion are heated, or foot—warmers are
provided, so that with sufﬁcient robes
the children arrive at school, after
having ridden as far as eight miles,
in a more comfortable condition than
if they had been required to walk a.
mile or more through snow, slush

A conservative estimate of the
world’s clip for 1920 is 2,500,000;-
000 pounds.

Therefore, there will be available
within a very few weeks, more than
3,500,000,000 pounds of virgin wool.

(d) If the Truth in Fabric Bill
is passed, all of this huge quantity
of virgin wool would be immediately
converted into cloth (instead of vast
quantities of it being permitted to
lie in storehouses, as has been done
with great quantities of virgin wool
since the signing of the armistice,)
and the tremedously multiplied pro-
duction of virgin wool cloth would “
effectively check and eliminate the
rising price menace, and establish a
sound economic price basis “‘upon
which business can proceed with
safety and satisfaction. , -' '-

Farmer-Owned Enterprises

0 ONE HAS yet given a satisfactory

reason why the sugar beet growers can-

not own and operate sugar factories, or milk

producers distributing plants. The answer

‘ eternally is, “It can’t be done;” “it can’t be
done}?

Why? Give us just one sound, sensible rea-
son and we’ll forever hold our peace. Until
then we shall proclaim from the housetops
that the farmers can and ought to do these
things, and we shall stand ready to assist them
in every way at our command.

Tell us,_pray, What is required in the suc-
cessful operation of a sugar factory or a milk
distributing system? Both turn out an abso-
lute essential. The market is established; the
demand is assured. Only three essentials re-
main in the conduct of such enterprises. They
are Raw Material, Capital, Good Management.

No matter by whom these enterprises are
owned, the farmer furnishes the raw materi-
al. So check that off.

Capital for sugar factories and milk dis-
tribting enterprises is now furnished largely
by men who have no interest in the enterpris-
es except the dividends which they may earn
on the stock. The individual stockholders of
these concerns many of whom live in Detroit
and New York City, haven’t the slightest in-
terest in what the farmer gets for his raw ma-
terial or what the consumer pays for the ﬁn-
ished product. Now What is the objection
to letting the 12,000 sugar beet growers and
the 12,000 members of the Michigan Milk
Producers’s Ass’n contribute their collective
credit for the purchase of factories and plants
and for the ﬁnishing and distributing of their
products. Has not the farmers’ money the
same power to reproduce itself as the money
of the professional capitalist? When you
give us the answer, we’ll check that 01?, too.

Now comes management.

“Granted,” the skeptic will say, “that the
farmers can furnish the raw material and the.
capital, but he cannot furnish the manage-
ment.” Well, who wants the farmers to leave
their fanns and become managers of sugar
factories or milk plants? We don’t. We’ll
concede that the best farmer on earth might
be a flat failure at the head of such enter-
 But again, the farmer would merely
be in the same position as are present stock-_
holders of these concerns. What does, Mr.
John Dough of Wall Street,~ who has a sub-
stantial block of stock in a Michigan sugar

‘l‘he Eﬁcct of Competition «

HE COMPETITION of the Michigan

State Farm Bureau in the wool-buying
ﬁcldhashadamostsigniﬁcanteﬁcctupontho
prices adored by the local buyers. It is a mat-
tcroffactthatfumenlivinginthecounﬁa
where the Farm Bureau is pooling wool m
receivingfrom'ltolscentspcrpoundmoro
than the farmers living in adjoining counties
where the Farm Bureau is not active. For
instance, the Farm Bureau is making advance
payments to the farmers of Clinton county, on
the basis 0180 cents per pound for the best"
grades of wool. In Gratiot county  -
on the north the top price adored by 
dealers is 60 cents for the best grades. Here
is a diﬁerence of 20 cents per pound in two
separate localities less than 50 miles apart.
This is one of the greatest advantages of co-
operation. . '

Farmers are too prone to look for theim-
mediate and direct results of co-operativc ef-
forts and to overlook the accumulative and in-
direct beneﬁts. For this reason many co-operw
tive associations lose the support of their mem:
bers and fail. Nevertheless, it stands to rea-
son that never was a farmers’ co-operative
marketing association organized that. did not
exert some beneﬁcial effect upon the prices for
farm products. '

It is not uncommon for members of» co-op-
erative associations to patroniza their compet-
itor when he over-bids or under-sells their
own company. They do not seem, to under-
stand that the only reason the competitor of-
fers more is because the presence of the co-op-
erative association makes it necessary. _ ’

The greatest drawback to cooperative prog-
ress is the disloyalty of the very ones Whom
such cooperation will beneﬁt the most. Every
attempt to effect an organization for the good
of the farmers has had its knockers.~ Always
there were a few who would not join, and al-
ways there were a few who, after joining, be-
came excellent crepe hangers and did their
level best to destroy their organizations for
the lack of. which they would be getting to-
day but a fraction of what they are receiving
for their products.

The success of farmers’ organization is
measured wholly by the yardstick [of loyalty.
Loyalty will forgive mistakes and bad man—
agement. Loyalty will survive a period of
loss. Loyalty will present an insurmountable
obstacle to the enemies of organization. Loy-
alty will always Win. Be loyal to your organ-’~
ization three hundred and sixty ﬁve days out
of the year, and nothing  can prevent you
from attaining your goal. ‘ '

Political Gas

A PROMINENT politician was once asked
the secret of ‘ his success. “Promise
everything? he replied, “but don ’t carry out

"your promises unless you have to." ‘ -

‘ There are quite a number of successful pol—
iticians who owe their position to a 
servance of this rule. Take Congressman

.Fm-dney, for instance. Inst fall he faithfully-

.promned the bean growers of  that
he would use all the inﬂuence at his command
to secure special tariﬂ legislation on beans.
Knowing Mr. Fprdney to be all‘but omnipo-
tent in“ the lower house of Congress, the bean
growers - conﬁdently awaited results. They
were not forthcoming. The sugar beet con-
troversy got warm; the manufacturers saw.
they would need some hm land for/sugar ',

growers feel good and possibly get him a/ few

extra votes at the primary'if he promised to \

poor showing in the primary and he promptly

I lost interest in the sugar beet controversy.

Telegrams dispatched‘to him since the primar—
ies reminding him of his promise have gone
 His promise was just' politigal

How long, how long, will the farmers be
willing victims of the gas attacks of the poli-
ticians! How long will they sit like innocent
children with their mouths open drinking in
the worth of wisdom and the ﬁne promises of
those whose only interest in their constituents
are the votes which they cast in the elections!
Say, folks, isn’t it about time to bestir our-
selves and with the mighty weapon of organ-
ization land a knock-out blow in the solar
plexus of those who promise only to deceive!
Why not this fall, throw partisan politics to
the wind, and put some real MEN in Cong-
ress and the state legislature to take the place
of the political windjammers and gas throw-

 

~Good Work
REPRESENTATIVES of all the farm or-
ganizations in Gratiot county held a joint
meeting the other day and unanimously
agreed to'work for the candidacy of Milo D.
Campbell for Governor. Then they at in

one more good lick for the cause/of agriculture '
by endorsing Ora D. Aitken, a farmer of'New _

Haven township, for the state legislatpre.

If there is anything more important for the
farmers to do this fall than to elect a man for
Governor who has a. broad and sympathetic
understanding of the needs of agriculture, it
is to elect actual, horny-handed farmers to the
state legislature: Many claim that this is
more important than the governorslu’p. Be
that as it may, it will be of tremendous assist-
ance to Gov. Campbell, if he can have men in
both houses of the legislature upon whom he
can depend to carry out his reforms.

We have had many able governors in the
past whose hands have been tied by an un-
sympathetic and reactionary legislature. The
“immortal nineteen” effectually blocked the
best efforts of one of the best governors Mich-
igan ever had. To avoid a repetition of this
letusbyallmeansselectmcnforﬂwﬂouse
and Senate whom we know to be progressive
in spirit, thought and action to co-operate
with a Governor who will, we believe give
Michigan an administraton of economy and

efﬁciency that will long be remembered in the ~

annals of the state.

 

A Great ‘iDiscovery”
THE DETROIT newspapers have 'mads a
great “discovery.’_’ They have sudden-
ly unearthed the fact that the farmers around
Detroit are getting less than 50 per cent of the
consumer’s dollar for the milk they sell. For

years and years farmers have sold milk to »

dealers in the city of Detroit. The consumer
has used the milk and paid for it, without
even wondering where it came from or what
persons shared in the distribution of his dol—
lar." The newspapers—those wonderful ad-

vanm guards of civilization and ammution,—— '

have published eons of pages" ‘about ,ulmost
ev 7 conceivable subject which Selects the

The fellow who said ~“youcan't un-

-net result of trust-busting so far
have been to slightly increase the

the practicability of abolishing prof-
its entirely. The price that Would
just suit me would be low for some
farmers on poor land and give my
smarter neighbors a handsome prof-
it. But such proﬁts, so far as they
are due to superior efficiency and if
divided fairly among those whose
efficiency produced them, will tend
to raise the general standard of em-
ciency, cheapen production and
eventually make lower prices possi-
ble. Just what per cent to allow
above average production cost so as
to encourage eﬂiciency without put-
ting too many of the less efﬁcient
producers out of business is a sep-
arate problem for each industry to
be solved by experts familiar with
that industry. Ten per cent or
more may be necessary in some in-

dustries at first, in others a much 7

smaller per cent may be suincient,
and frequent revisions to meet
changing conditions will be neces-
sary. Instead of ﬁxing elf—hand a
rate that we guess will be about
right for us farmers, let us raise a
standard to which the wise and
honest in all industries can repair:

A SUGAR BOYOOTT

As the spokesman of the farmers’
needs and rights the Burmese FARM-
us has no equal. It is Michigan's
great farm paper. Let us hope it
will become America's great farm pa-
per. No farmer, no matter what
other farm papers he may take, can
afford to be without it.

Isn't it about time to start a sugar
beycott to bring the price of sugar
down to the basis upon which farm-
ers received pay for their beets? I
notice that if an outsider speculates_
in sugar the government 'is hot on
their trail. but the sugar companies
can speculate seemingly without
stint. What's the difference?

DO THE PEOPLE RULE?

I would like to give my opinion on
the political situation. The people
at the primaries expressed their pref-
erence for Senator Hiram Johnson
for president. It seems as though
the newspapers are knocking him,
not openly, but they seem to have
nothing to say in his favor. Is it be-

no

, ton had they not be

cause they do not get‘enoug-h money
out of him? It seems as though it is
time we had an honest, business ad-
ministration and a man at the «helm
who can not be moved by the inter-'-
ests and against the common people.
I believe we would have such a man
in Senator Johnson. Talk about the
people ruling when our people whom
we have chosento represent us go
contrary to our wishes in electing
delegates as they did at Kalamazoo—
Mrs. A. S. R., Milford, Mich.

 

I attended the convention at Kalama-
I was told

cause I was not a regularly elected del—

w. Maconm county gave

perce
of its vote of any county in the state,
but only two of its eighteen delegates
were pledged to vote for Johnson. I felt
that the people of Michigan having giv-
en Johnson their vote at the primary,
the delegate to the State convention
should elect Johnson delegates to the na-

‘ tional convention. Sleeper was for Low-

den; Cramton for Johnson. but the great
majority of the delegates from Cram-
ton’s district, the seventh, would have
voted for Sleeper in ference to Cram-
withdrawn. They
were perfecti willing to betray the
wishes of ther constituents. But that’s
the old convention system right over
agIangol’n which the people do NOT rule.

A CONSUMER BEARD FROM
I was pleased to receive your letter

for the pains you took to explain

some things on the milk question.

referred to in my letter to the De-
troit News. That News letter, .' I
might say, however, was not meant
for the farmer, or the producer of

. milk, but rather for the Detroit dis-

tributor of this very essential food
who claims he must have 100 per
cent on the cost price to him for his
proﬁt and expense. I asked for a
sworn statement of the net proﬁts
of these Detroit concerns, but they
“stand mute" on the question and
Judge Tuttle, no doubt will ad-
vise them that this is a “constitu-
tional right."

I was born and raised. on the
farm, where most of our cleanest and
best citizens were born, and have not
forgotten my father's struggle to
keep a balance on the right side of
the ledger and quite often it,was a
struggle to keep t e proverbial wolf
from the door."— 60. A. Kennedy.

criticized the decision which prevents

“ ‘AM A farmer’s daughter and I

' expect to be married in June.
We can't afford anything very
expensive but I would like something
nice and yet simple. I have light
hair, blue eyes and a light complex~
ion . How should I dress? In what
color and what kind of cloth? I
donit expect to wear a veil so how
should I dress my hair and shouldl
wear flowers in it. How far from
, the floor should my skirt be? Can
you print a pattern for me in M. B.

F.? It is to be in the evening, so what ‘

would you suggest for refreshments?
I intend to make the dress myself."
Undoubtedly the question con-
fronting you is one which a good
many girls are asking this spring,
and so I am glad to take it from the
space which we have used for our
Readers Own Column, and give it
first place this week.
In the ﬁrst place let me congrat-
ulate you on your decision to have
, a simple dress inasmuch as you are
, to make it yourself and cannot afford
an expensive one. Really the ideal
» wedding gown of all generations has
been simply made, no matter how ex-
] pensive the material of which it was
fashioned. That is the reason it has
' been possible for girls today to re-
model and wear their mother’s wed-
ding gowns.
As to color—in my opinion there
is no choice. White is for the bride
and always has been. No matter
whether you are dark or light, white
is universally becoming, universally
worn and it is such a sensible thing
to have inasmuch as it can later serve
the purpose of a ﬁne summer dress,
if it is simply made and will not
look “bridey” six months from now.
The material is greatly a matter
of choice and the limit is ﬁxed only
by the amount you wish to spend.
White satins are only for those who
can spend a large amount and have
a dress which they will wear only
perhaps a half dozen times in their
life time. If you wish silks, there
are lovely white wash silks, the ma-
terial of which is so lovely that they
need no trim. Then _of course there
are the Georgettes, which aretrim-
med only with a simple design in
pearl beads. If not made elaborate-'
ly and carefully handled a dress such
as this can be tubbed. However if
you would have something appro-
priate, lovely and yet inexpensive,
why don't you choose mull or or-
gandie, both of which materials are
girlish and lend themselves to the
part very readily.
'You did not give me your weight
nor your height, and as this has ev-
erything to do with the style
_ you will choose for your
‘wedding dress pattern, I
really cannot advise you or
print a pattern which would
suit your particular style. If
you are inclined to be at all
stout, the slim line can be
attained through the judi-
cious use of the long panel,
but be sure and do not have
any ruffles. On the other
hand if tall and slim, you
could have the skirt made cf
two or three deep ruffles on
the short overskirt can be
used. Then again there is
the neck line. A round neck
is unbecoming to one with
a long slim neck unless a
roll collar is ﬁtted so that it
breaks the line in the back.
The front can be cut as low
as you wish if you use the
roll collar half way around.
If you have a short fat neck,
the round or dutch necks
will be becoming. I ﬁnd
that you" did not 'give me
your address on your letter
sell cannot write you per-
sonally.

People

By M arguerife Wilson,

Sometimes when I am happy and at rest,

I think I like all kinds of people best;

Even the shallow, round-eyed gossips give
A little zest to life. So let them live 1

Just to be near my kind and hear them talk
Seems very good to me. Oh, dearer: far
The racket on the streets where people walk
Than all the prelrie's quiet spaces are.

But when I think“more keenly, I confess,
There are a few that I like somewhat less
Then others; those who smugly speak to me
With minds elusive us crabs upon the rocks.
Who reach limp fingers out too languidiy
\Vhen they shnke hands; whose kindness only
mock ' ' ;
I hope that they may prosper in some good way
And ﬁnd them friends according to their needs.
Die, without doing much harm, some quiet day,
And reach the heavens of their several creeds.

THE INNATE LOVE OF HOME
0 MATTER how happy we may
be elsewhere, “home is conCen-
' ‘ trated in one tiny place, and
there is that in us which makes it
impossible to scramble our affections
all over the globe. We have to.roll
them up, when the ﬁnal test comes,
to one doorway, one little room;
somewhere. It may be in Utah or
Texas, Maine or Georgia, California
or Connecticut. Not that we love
the rest of “the world less, but that
we love one little spot more. We
love humanity, but not to the ex-
tent that we love our very own. And
that concentrated love is what makes
’civic pride. And it makes marri-
age possible, and fatherhood and
motherhood. If we scatter our emo-
tional citality too much we will ﬁnd
ourselves strangely lacking in real
friends. For We are but human;
and one country, one flag, and one ’
little town, if we are made of the
right stuff, mean more to us than
any other.

 

KEEP LAMPS SHINING BRIGHTLY

GOOD many industrious and
cleanly disposed housewivu
lik‘e Aladdin of old, believe in
rubbing their metal/lamps. Aladdin
got what he wished for when he
rubbed his glim producer, but the
housewife generally gets, in the
course of time, what she doesn't
want; namely, a shabby appearing
lamp, for it doesn’t take long to rub
the lacquer off metal.

Lamps wouldn’t be permitted to
remain shabby very long if house-
keepers knew how simple a process
it is to re-lacquer or re-enamel them.
Paint dealers, druggists and dealers
in plumbing supplies sell the lac-
quers and enamels in small quantity
containers. Directions for applying
usually come with them.

If desired it is possible to make a
lamp look like a new one. For in-
stance, a plain brass lamp may be
enameled in white or ivory .
by using the proper under-
coating. Other preferred ef-
fects‘are as easily obtain-'
able. So while Aladdin
could get something with _
his lamp that the women of :
the present day cannot get.
they may console themselv-
es by the thought that they

those who are not, here is a very
good method which you can try after
you have raked the yard for mother
or piled up the brush for father.

. ' Fire without matches may be pro-
duced with a handful of dry grass
a'nd two pieces, of wood, one called
the tinderwood, and the other a
piece of very hard or very soft wood
that is called the drill or spindle. A
handful of dry grass is placed on a
solid rock or board, and a notch is
but in the tinderwood. The tinder-
wood is then placed on the dry grass
and the spindle is inserted in the
notch in the tinderwood. The spindle
is made to spin at a fast rate between
'the palms of the hands until a coal is
produced. Then the dry grass is
taken up in the hands and blown on
to make a blaze. It is then dropped
on the ground and dry twigs and
other grass piled on.

A much quicker method than us-
ing the palms of the hand is to.have
a bow with‘ a leather thong stretched
on it. The spindle is fixed with one
turn around it and made to revolve
very fast in the notch of the tinder-
wood. '

'I‘BE TOWN OF YAWN

My friend have you heard of the
I town of Yawn
On the banks of the river Slow?
Where blooms the Waitaw-hile flow-
’ or fair, ~ "
Where the Sometimeorother scents
the air
And the saft Goeasys grow?
It lies in the valley of Whatstheuse,
In the province of Letherslide;
That tired feeling is native there—
It's the home of the litless I don’t
care,
Where the Putitoffs abide.
The Putitoffs never make up their
minds,
_ Intending to do it tomorrow;
'And so they delay from day to day
Till they business dwindles and prof-
its decay
And their days are full of sorrow.

’DURABILITY’ arms
DE L A VA L

This illustration is reproduced
from a photograph of Mr. Jacob
Rimclspach, in Ohio, and his
DcLaval Separator,
* which has been in use '
' for over 25 years.

 

  
   

‘\ The machine was
brought in on a local
De Laval Service Day
to be lobked over by the
service man.

There was nothing the
matter with the separator,
and after it was cleaned up
and oiled Mr. Rimelspach
took it home with the com-
ment that it ought to be
good for another 25 years.

 

 

The De Laval Separator gives the
greatest value for the money, because it
gives better and longer service. Mr.
Rimelspach's experience is equaled by the
records of a large number of De Laval
machines.

Considering its greater durability alone,
the De Laval is the most economical
separator to buy; and with its cleaner
skimming, easier running, greater capacity
and unequaled service, the price of a

cheaper” machine is high in comparison.

If you don’t know the De Laval
agent in your community, write
to the nearest De Laval office

mom GAN FARMING CONDITIONS
 3The number .of men that have left
the farms of Michiganrduring the
a past three years is three times as
eat as the number of Michigan men
at died or were killed in the Civil
War. It would require the present
male population over 16 years of
e, of Lansing and Flint to replace
em. There are enough vacant
rm houses in Michigan to conven-
tly house the population of Grand
pids. The number of farm houses
nested within the past 12 months
eould easily accommodate all of the
ople in the city of Jackson with
mes.
Eight and seventy-four hundredths
r cent of the farms of the state
e wholly idle this year, an area of
Eproximately 1,668,000 acres, equal

a

 

about five ordinary counties. The

al men and boys over” years of

e on the farms of the state is 230,-

0, or 82.6 acres to be worked by
.ch man‘or boy. ’

These ﬁgures are based upon a

template survey made during the

four weeks by the Michigan Crop

porting Service under the joint

pervision of Mr. Coleman 0.

Slugs“, Secretary of State and

erne H. Church, Field Agent, U. S.

t - reau of Crop Estimates, and aided

‘ the Ofﬁce of the Superintendent

Public Instruction. A blank was

mailed to each rural school director

asking for a report upon the farms

his school district. The compila-

n of these reports shows that 18,-

002 terms are idle this year as com-

ed with 11.881 last year. While

abandonment, which in many

es is temporary because of the

k of tenant farmers, is least in

e best farming sections, it is found

be a community movement. Many

tricts show no abandonment, but

where families began leaving the act

This abandonment does not tell
e whole story. A large percentage
. men on farms are past fifty years
’1 age and without help. The aver-
e site of farms is 91.6 acres, and
_ ere are but 11 men and boys to

ilar and comparable results, and
1 there would be a decrease of
0.0 per cent in the acreage of cul-
ted crops this year as a result.
‘s report also shows that the num-
of dairy cattle has decreased 11.3
per cent during the past year.
As Michigan is only typical of the
henditions found in most of the oth-
Eoetates, it is evident that the pro-

 
 
    
 
 

tion of farm crops will decline as
ng as the present situation contin-
ues, and as long as the cost of pre-
Iuoing these crops follows so close-
‘7 the co the farmer receives. With
a stea ly decreasing supply and in-
woasing demand, the price of food
will continue toadvance.
The only remedy is a reversal of
‘ resent conditions through an in-
ease in the number of food pro-
' . . more and a corresponding decrease
~ '  the number of-non-producers Jef
od. This reversal will only come
when the remuneration for" growing

During the past week many deal-
ers in corn sold nearly all their hold-
ings in an attempt
price and were doing it quite satis-
factorin when suddenly they became
frightened and began buying, with
the results that corn reached a record

to

lower

the

 

level. Commission houses are advis-
ing. against buying which shows the
market is in a strained position and
looks as if corn prices were due for
a drop. The planting averages be-
hind in Michigan but not in all
states. Illinois reports corn plant-
ed early this year and a larger acre-
age than last. And it is estimated
that the acreage will average higher
in the United States than it was a
year ago. Corn must seek lower lev-
els soon because, as I have said in
these columns before, farmers can-
not raise hogs and cattle for market
with food at the present prices.

‘ a couple of rubies, no mat-

ter what size should not con-

stitute the totality or the Maya

treasure," Henry contended. "We

are across the threshold oi it, and
yet we lack the key "

“Which the old Maya, back on the
barking sands, undoubtedly holds in
that sacred tassel of his," Leohcia
said. “Except for these two statues
and the bones on the floor, the place
is bare.”

As she spoke- she advanced to look
the male statue over more closely.
The grotesque ear centered her at-
tention, and she pointed into it as
she added: -“I don’t know about the
key, but there is the key-hole."

True enough, the elephantine ear,
instead of enfolding an oriﬁce ,as an
ear of such size should, was complete-
ly blocked up save for a small aper-
ture that not too remotely resembled
a key hole. They wandered vainly
about the chamber, tapping the walls
and floor, seeking tor cunningly-
hidden passageways or ungnessable
clues to the hiding place at the treas-
er. - '

“Bones of tierra caliente men, two
idols, two emeralds of enormous size,
two rubies ditto, and ourselves, are
all the place contains," Francis “sum-
med up. “Only a couple of things re-
main for us to do: go back and bring
up Ricardo and the mules to make
camp outside; and bring up the old
gentleman and‘his sacred knots if
we have to carry him."

“You wait with Leoncia, and I’ll
go back and bring them up," Henry
volunteered, when they had threaded
the long passages and the avenues of
the erect dead and won to the sun-
shine and the sky outside the face of
the cliff. .

Back on. the barking sands the
peon and, his father knelt in the
circle so noisily drawn by the old
man’s foreﬁnger. A local rain squall
beat upon them, and, though the
‘peon shivered, the old man prayed
on oblivious to what might happen
to his skin in the way of wind and
water. It. was because the peon
shivered and was uncomfortable that
he observed two things that his fath-
er missed. First, he saw Alvairez
Torres and Jose mancheno cautious-
ly venture out from the jungle upon
the sand. Next, he saw a miracle.
The miracle was that the pair of
them trudged steadily across the sbnd
without pausing the slightest sound
to arise from their progress. When
they had disappeared ahead, he
touched his ﬁnger tentatively to the
sand, and aroused no ghostly whis-
perings. He thrust his ﬁnger into
tile sand, yet all was silent, as was
it silent. when he bufieted the sand

heartily with the flat of. his palm.
a The passing shower had rendered the ‘
sand dumb.” “ 

He shook his father out 0: his
prayers, announcing: .

“The sand no longer is noisy; It
is as silent as the grave. And I have

was the same—because the sand had

“It says," he reported, “that when

 

 

  

_ toot thesscred

the sand 'no longer talks it is safe to
proceed. So-tar I «have obeyed all
instructions. In order to obey fur-
ther instruction, let us now proceed."

So well did they proceed, that,
shortly beyond the barking sands,
they overtook Torres and Mancheno,
which worthy pair slunk oﬂ into the
brush on one side, watched the priest
and his son‘go by, and took up their
trail well in the rear. While Henry,
taking a short cut, missed both
couples of men.

CHAPTER XV.

“ YEN 80, it was a mistake and

E a weakness on my part to

remain in Panama.” Francis

was saying to Leoncia, as they sat

side by side on the rocks outside the

cave entrance, waiting Henry's re-
turn. . .

“Does the stock market of New
York then mean so much to you?"
Leoncia coquettishly teased: yet only
part‘of it was coquetry, the major
portion of it being temporization.
She was afraid of being alone with
this man whom she loved so astound-
ingly and terribly. _

Francis was impatient.

"I am ever a straight talker, Leon-
cia. I say what I means, in the di-
rectest, shortest way "

“Wherein you differ from us Span-

 

eas  a~~>~v~m .s:

  

garnish and dress the ismplest of
thoughts with all decorations of
speech." -

But he continued undeterred what

I he had started to say. '

“There you are a healer, Leoncia,
which was just what I was going 'to
call you. I speak straight talk. and
true talk, which is a man's way. You
baffle in speech and flutter like a
butterﬂy—which, I grant, is a wo-
man’s way and to be expected. Nev-
ertheless, it is not fair . . . to me.
I tell you straight out the heart of
me, and you understand. You do
not tell me your heart. You ﬂutter
and baffle, and¢I do not understand.
Therefore, you have me at a diced-
vantage. You know I love you. I
have told you plainly. I? What do
I know about you?”

With downcast eyes and rising col-
Or in her cheeks, she sat silent unable
to reply.

“You see !" he insisted. "You d
not answer. You look warmer an
more beautiful and desirable than
ever, more enticing, in short; and ye;
you baffle me and tell me nothing 0
your heart or intention. Is is be-
cause you are woman? Or because
you are Spanish?”

She felt herself stirred profoundly.

IngPING CHILD . FROM sonooL
I have a little girl who was six years

old when she entered school last fall but

has .passed her seventh birthday since.
Can she be compelled to continue, in
school? I have had her out about two
weeks on account of bad roads and my
needing her help. ‘ She, has a. mileand a
quarter to go.—-—-A Subscriber,' Osceola
' County.

 

yUnder the statement cf facts I
think you Would be Obliged to send
the child to school. The law desig-
nates the ages between 7 and 16 and
to avoid going to school they must
be physically unable to' attend. If

they live 2 1-2 miles away then child-‘

ren under 9 years may be exempt.
You probably need the child’s assist-
ance but it would be a greater injury
to deprive your child of its educa-
tion—W. E. Brown, legal editor.

 

MICHIGAN ELECTION LAWS

Where can I get a copy of Michigan
election laws. I expected I was a voter
till last spring. I came from England
when 2 years old but my father never
got out onl his ﬁrst papers but when
I became 0 age I voted and voted for
ﬂft years, I did not know about my
fa or not finishing his papers—E. J.,
Jackson County.

Copies of the election laws may be
obtained from the secretary of State,
Lansing, Mic-h. As you have sup-
posed yourself entitled to citizenship.
and have actually exercised the rights
and privileges of citizenship I would
think it advisable for you to make
special application under Act of
June 25th, 1910, found on’page 264
of the Michigan Pamphlet of the
Election laws, edition of 1917,—-e

You do not say whether your fence

The school law provides
where the school house is over 2 1-2
miles by the usual travelled route a
child under 9 years of age can not be
compelled to attend school. School
districtsc-an not be compelled to
furnish conveyance for transporta-
tion of children to and from school.

(Editor’s Note: Farm folks annually
lose thousands of dollars in their deal-
ings with ﬁrms located in distant cities
because of dishonesty, misunderstanding,
over-sight or theft of gods in transit,
In the majority of cases a dispute over
a transaction the farmer loses. Every
month we receive scores 0 complaints
from our readers over this rid of trans-
action. We take the matter up with the
interested party and usually succeed in
securing a settlement. Dishonest firms
fear publicit and it is frequently in the
ho es of two ding it that they settle with-
ou fuss. Where it is clearly shown that
the firm from whom the farmer has
bought or to whom he has sold is honest
and that the delay in payment is excus-
able, we do not hesitate to absolve the
arm from blame, but no judgment can be
too harsh for those who deliberately
swindle a farmers, or who refuse to
answer le tors pertaining to the trans-
act on. If any of our readers have had
4 culty in getting settlement with any

they may place the caSe in our hands and
we will do everything possible to collect

Purebred ~~Holstein Cattle
For Profit

"Both milk and fat are produced
,at lowest rate in general by the cows
consuming the MOST FOOD.” This
conclusion’ was reached by Prof. H. H.
Wing, Professor of dairy husbandry
at Cornell, after a year’s observation
of the herd at the University experi-
ment station. Holsteins are large
and healthy, capable of converting
largQ quantities of coarse feed into
the best of milk suitable for all pur-
poses, particularly indemand for in-
tent feeding and for cheese making.

It you are keeping cows for proﬁt,
investigate Holsteins.
