Governor And House And Senate Leaders Use Koiind 'I'jihlc Mctluxl.s

To .Straiffliten 'Jangles.

13y Ed A . Nowack Michigan Pro.s.s Representative

Law maicing will run along .smooth­ly if the governor and house and .sen-iitc loaders have their way. A l l re­maining legislation is scheduled to he threshed out between the three great powers at pre-session conferences and dinners. Two already have heen held. The final edges of the highway pro­gram were trimmed down at a din­ner jiarty given by Gov. Groesbeck •while the tax questions were sottkfl at a round table conference in the tax commission ofTices. The boys like it, Sfiueczing up closely to the governor thoy say they discover bo is human. And the governor is said to now have the idea that the senators and repre­sentatives—many with whom no truce was olTective two years ago— are equally human. B i g business methods, with round table discussions, wil l bold .sway. The rea))portionment measure, introduced by Rep. Culver, Detroit, will l ikely be included' in those get-together talks,

Speaker Fred Wells, Cassopolis, easily stands out as the big figure in the harmonizing features. What bis inquiry into ta.xation two yeans ago dovelo"pcd and convinced bim was the proper handling of highway matters, is now ^a l iving, breathing thing. Briefly, here are the results of the Kct-togetber meetings;

The state wil l take over con.struc-tion and maintenance of trunk lines. No new contracts carrying state re­wards wi l l be entered into after A p r i l 1, The state reward fcatpre wil l be repealed. The Covert law,, wi l l be re­pealed two years hence. The high­way department and administrative board are to bo given authority to construct 500 miles ' of trunk linos. Major taxation iiroblems were .solved, two bills, t.axing all foreign bonds and mortgages on a five mil l basis jind municipal bond.s, ,scbool and roful district bonds, on a three mill basis, being now before the session.

A s a profound protest against Chi-oago's continued Great Lakes water grab, tho bouse has adopted a joint resolution sending three representa­tives and two senators to Washington to jirotcst.

Unemployment Is Devil's AVeapon The constitutional amendment to

the child labor law which was made a special order of bu,siness for Tues-«iay of this week after a torrid torrent of talking that showed .several mem­bers possessing fine oratorical abi l i ­ties, was again put over t i l l Friday to permit a public hearing. Rep, John Eapie, Eagle, won the greatest meas­ure of applause. "More young folk.s are going to hell through unemploy­ment than from overwork," be said i n .seeking to k i l l the bil l .

The reapportionment measure by Rep. Culver, Detroit, would give Wayne 25 representatives, Genesee three instead of two, i t would group some of the smaller counties and is fashioned exactly like the reappor­tionment bi l l of the special session •which was held constitutional by the iittorney general.

Compulsory Auto Insurance Senator Young, Lansing: A,sks com­

pulsory liability damage, for autoists of .?5,000. Car owners could not get license tags until they deposited cer­tificates of insurance with county clerks. Latter would be charged with appointment of two arbitrators to view the accident, determine damage, file reports thereon, but would not, make these reports competent evi­dence. Non-residents figuring in ac­cidents would, along with others, be compelled to report immediately all .smashups .to the county clerk of that county and deposit bond twice the de­termined damage until l iability and settlement had been effected. This law would enrich insurance compan­ies about !i!10,000,000, it is estimated.

Making Cupid Wait Senator Brewer, Jackson: Would

give . SJOOO pensions to Supreme coui't justices who retire or resign. Sena­tor Quinland, Grand Rapids: Would require five days' delay in issuing marriage licenses to permit filing of legal objections, also require birth certificates. Rep. Warner, Ppsilanti : Would require a $5 poll tax from voters prior to May 1 each year. Sup­ervisors would have to prepare l is t of voters. Fai lure to pay tax is punish­able by .?100 fine or 90 days. Such a bil l would produce ^5,000,000 in rev­enue, it is said.

Rep. Cora Anderson, L 'Anse : Would exempt housewives from jury duty.

Senator Case, Ithaca: Would pre­vent aliens from carrying guns.. Sena­tor Wi l l i am Case's 'b i l l authorizing employment by counties of public health nurses passed the senate unan­imously. Rep. Green, Alpena: Would permit supervisors to borrow 60 per

I cent of the tax levy in anticipation of such tax levy.

Rep. Espie, Eagle: Farmers who lose cattle through disease eradica* tion would be reimbursed by county for the difference between appraisal and salvage returns.

Eaton Rapids Wins Tenth Consecu­tive Game .After Hard Fought

Battle With Mason.

New corsets just arrived, ilapper-ettes, rubber girdles, rubber reducing, contil and brocade, a style for each individual, at Miss Minnie I. Kel ly 's residence; 121 E . E l m St. 8 v l

Fight ing like demons until the last shot was fired at the end of the game. Mason basketeers sought to retrieve their lost fortunes and wrest a game from the river men of Eaton Rapids, but to no avail. Shooting two bas­kets in almost the first minute of play' Mason gave Scott Munn and his ai-my of rooters a touch of heart failure and throwing the Eaton Rapids quintette into a moment of wavering play but the vi.sitor.s soon recovered and while Mason led the way during most of the period yet wl,ien tho first half was over the score stood at!) to 8 in favor of Eaton Ra!)i(ls,

The .second half brought the Mason players hack to the floor with renew­ed vigor but the men of the mineral Wiiters were too much for them and the game clo.sed at 20 to 12 in favor of Eaton Rapids, it being their tenth victory of the season without the loss of a game. It was a clean and hard fought game all tho way, superior team work by the visitors and the fact that they are all veteran players made them just a notch too strong. Always there seemed to be a visitor under the ball and always they seem­ed to be able to plunge through M a -.son's line for heavy' gains toward the netted circle. A crowd was present which taxed every inch of the capacity of the gymnasium.

Preliminary to the varsity game, Mason High first and second teams played, resulting in a score almost prophetic i t being the same as mark­ed the end of the big game. Follow­ing this Eaton Rapids and Mason re­serves matched their prowess to a 16 to 4 score also in favor of the v is i ­tors.

Ma.son next meets Lansing Satur­day night of this week on the latter's courts and now that the Eaton Rap­ids game is out of the way i t is ex­pected that Mason wi l l give their ci ty neighbors a hard run for victory. A l l fans are urged to turn out for this game and show t1ie team tlie town is with them to a finish.

Many times during the history of the club have the members of the Ingham County Farmer's Club met with Mr . and Mi-s. James H , Shafer, first on the farm north of the city and since then at their homo in the city, Saturday they wore the guests of Mr, and Mrs. Shafer and their son George and an interesting pro­gram was enjoyed by al l .

A . W. Jewett, Jr., gave an inter­esting talk on the International Hay and Grain Show at Chicago, where ho has exhibited for several years and where this year he won the distinc­tion of .showing the best alfalfa in the world, it having been grown upon his own farm. Among the interest­ing things spoken of in Mr . Jewett's talk is the ten thou.sand dollars sub­scribed by the Chicago Board of Trafle for premiums, all entries to be made through M . A . C, The speaker desciiihcd his methods of .selecting seeds and grasses to be shown ami urged farmers to plant and grow bet­ter .seeds for profitable farming, warning his hearers against the worthlcssncss of uiiada itcd clover and other seeds from soutiern European countries.

During the course of his interest­ing talk the speaker referred to the growth of boys and girls farm clubs and the fact that Ingham county has no county agricultural agent and no club leader but has the distinction of sending more youths to the peniten­tiary than any other county in the state, population consjdered.

Another talk of great interest was on "Public Ut i l i t ies" by E , A . Ca l ­kins of Mason, an engineer who has given years to the study of uti l i ty problems. Public utilities were held as prominent factors in modern c iv i ­lization going back into the history of tlio Nortlnvest Territory and trac­ing the development of transportation methods through tho stage coach, the waterways and canals, steam and electric railways and later the high­way bus and transport. The speaker declared the highway transport i s with us to stay and must be consid­ered in every form of transportation development.

Aside from these interesting talks, Ludel Cheney gave a declamation, "Scientific Farming," and Mrs. Harr is Bullen sang two songs after which Mrs. W. H . Dunsmore gave a report of the meeting of the officers with the president on Jan. 15 and follow­ing this was a general discussion upon whether the name of Michigan Agricul tural College should be chang­ed, the alumni present favoring the change. No action was taken believ­ing it a question best left to the leg­islature to decide. Twenty of those present had attended one or more ses­sions at Farmer's Week at the college it was shown. A n interesting letter from Frank Seely, a member of the club spending the winter in Califor­nia was read. The year books dis­tributed give promise of a profitable year during 1925-26,

There is more than one way to ad­vertise and the unusual sometimes re­sults in gaining one's point. D . G. Barr & Son have a high test gasoline they claim great results from. Scof­fers have been mean enougli to say i t was no good and wouldn't burn but it is proved othenvise now. A l l i t re­quired was an electric wire hitched to the wrong post on the pump and the demonstration was on. The fire department was called in a hurry but the fire was out before it arrived— but not until every one in sight was. convinced that MarKind gas has real combustible qualities. A n electric pump just installed was the cause. But the real comedy was in the speed with which D, G. hit the sidewalk for the north while the flames were yet' raging.

One of the most successful meet­ings yet held by the Parent-Teacher As.sociation occurred on Tuesday evening at the high school auditorium with Percy Angove, state superintend­ent of manual arts education as tho principar speaker. M r . Angove made a strong plea for the great percentage of boys and girls who do not gradu­ate from the high schools holding that manual arts should be offered to every child in..school in order that the hand might be trained in harmony with the mind and the dignity of s k i l l ­ed labor upheld. The Kindergarten band rendered several selections, sec­ond grade pupils presented I'opsy Turvey, while third graders gave a flag dri l l , Agnes Zimmer and Leona Stobie rendered a piano duet .ind eighth grade pupils appeared in cos­tumes rendering patriotic songs. The next meeting wi l l occur on March 16.

Friends of George McArthur , son of Judge and Mrs . L . B. McAr thur , popular student and president of t}ie senior class of Mason High , have anxiously awaited news of the young man's condition since infection de­veloped from a slight cut on the arm received in a fa l l on the gymnasium floor last week. The usual first aid treatment was given the arm and later i t was dressed by Dr. Stobie but shortly afterwards the arm began, swelling and finally Dr. Carr of Lan­sing, was called and decided that the arm must be opei'ated upon. Four incisions were necessary to give re­lief and later on Tuesday, tempera­ture again developing, three more in ­cisions were made i n the arm. Re­ports this morning indicate that George is now well out of danger and hopes for his rapid recovery are en­tertained. He is being cared for at the Orr hospital.

The most startling value-giying sale that has been seen in this town for a long while starts Thursday morning at 9 a. m. at Snyder's B a ­zaar and Dry Goods Store. Large shipments of merchandise have been coming in the past few weeks in pre­paration for the event.

Business experts claim that no concern can aflford to make big con­cessions at this time on account of the steady advance which is taking place in a l l kinds of yard goods and home furnishings. M r . Snyder claims i t can be done—providing they can write enough sales to offset their profits when selling at regular prices.

B i g preparations have been going on at the store for this big merchan­dise movement which they announce is bound to shatter al l standing re­cords for volume of business because of the many sensational money-sav­ing Opportunities. Large colored ci r ­culars are being distributed far and near to attract buyers to their store and boost their volume of sales.

This sale is announced to run 10 days from the opening date, but as the rush for bargains is l ikely to be brisk, wise shoppers wi l l plan to do their shopping early in order to get first pick and to make their selection from unbroken lines. Women with the economy instinct w i l l need no second bidding to supply their home needs for months ahead at the White Sale at Snyders Bazaar and Dry Goods Store. Adv.

That the mombers of the Ma.son Co-Operative Shipping Association <ire satisfied with the operation of its affairs is the reason given for the small attendance at the annual meet­ing of the society which was held at the court house last Saturday after­noon. In the absence of the secre­tary, Claud Edgar of Aurelius, who was kept .away by the death of his brother, Walter R. Carven of Vevay, was chosen as secretary pro tern, John S. Coy, president of the board of di-rectoi-s presided.

According to the annual report of the secretary read by Mr . Carven, total stock sales for the year have amounted to ii;376,112.2G being the net amount received by the shippers after freight and yardage charges have been deducted. 241 decks of stock have been shipped which included 760 head of cattle, 8950 hogs, 10540 sheep and 1760 calves, the amount re­ceived being .$16203.25 more than during the year 1923 it was stated. 201 shippers are now members of the association according to the report.

In the election of officers, Lee T. Lasenby was again asked to act as business manager and Claud Edgar was re-elected as secretary. To fill the vacancy caused by the death of David H . Burgess, Thomas Barr of Vevay, was elected for the term of two years, while the three members of the board of directros whose terms expired were re-elected without o ^ position. They are John S. Coy, A . B. Gretton and Ward Bullen.

On motion, the secretary pro tern was directed to transmit to Secretary Edgar an expression of the sympathy of the association in the death of his brother.

Leave it to Ingham's popular sher-ifl' to switch the bright lights from down stage where they are doing their stuff to the stage center where Hugh is waiting for bis cue. La.st week County Clerk Ro.ss Hi l l iard took the public eye for a time with his marriage bureau heralded as working overtime in his private office. Before Saturday night had passed Hugh was getting all the applause and Hil l iard 's Gretna Green was a mere matter of history—all because one of Hugh's unwilling boarders had a sweetheart who just would not wait, that's a l l there was to it. Chas. Buckingham was locked up because he had some liquor about which the officers were curious. Buckingham had a sweetheart also but no money. A few friends chipped in for bail and the sweetheart, E m m a Loesky, by name, was the custodian. It seems the pair had been lovers for a long time but i t costs money to get mar­ried and money was scarce. When she had collected enough to supply the bail the great desire for a mate over­came her and she called the jai l by long distance from Lansing.

"Hadn't we better wait until I am out of this scrape," asked Charles, who had been called out of his cell to answer the phone. Apparently the urging voice overcame nis scruples as, after a listening wait, he said. " W e l l , a l l right, go get the license, bring a box of cigars and enough cash for the justice, the sheriff says we can have the wedding, but don't forget to bring along a box of cigars for the crowd and there's, a lot of them."

Justice Shafer was called, the bride came with a friend, E r m a Adams, and the knot was tied with Mr . and Mrs . Silsby and a corps of deputies as guests, Miss Adams acting as brides­maid, Finnis Bil l ington, another guest o f the county ja i l as best man and Audrey Wilson, locked up on a charge of obtaining drugs under false pretenses as maid of honor. Af te r the ceremony the pair had their pic­tures taken and candy and the cigars were passed. •. ,

But the bail money was gone, so the grooni was returned to durance vile and the bride, after a series of stranglehold caresses, went back to Lansing to search for more bail .

Steel Poles Provided By Voluntary Contributions Made By Merchants

And The County.

Mason's new street l ighting system is now in full working order and as soon as tho old polos are removed our streets wil l present a much improved ajipcaranco. Thirty-eight ornamental steel posts have been installed throughout tho business district and the lights placed in a staggered effect diagonally across the streets light them at every point with an equal .amount of light, the whole presenting a soft glow of well diffused light so that the streets are aa well lighted i n the middle of the streets as under the light fixtures.

Forty-nine merchants and profes­sional men doing business on the streets served by the new lights con­tributed to the fund as did the board of supei-viaors thus providing lights around the court house square and in front of the county ja i l . The Con­sumer's Power Company had volun­teered to put the same type of lamps and brackets upon wood poles but several of the citizens conceived tho idea of prevailing upon the company to install the steel poles instead. Wi th the type of pole then thought feas­ible the extra expense for each stan­dard would have been about twenty dollars and tho committee which w.iit-ed upon officials of the company made an agreement with the company upon this basis but later i t was found that higher and larger poles were neces­sary, in order to get the wires a suf-fiicient height above the street. The company however kept to their agree­ment and installed the larger poles at no increased cost to Mason ci t i ­zens. In the meantime Mayor Bond had gone to the board of supend.sors and secured an appropriation for the poles around the court house square and in front of the ja i l after wliich a meeting of the business men was held and a committee consisting of H . E , Neely, J , E , Taylor and V . J . Brown appointed to canvas tho busi­ness places and offices and take sub­scriptions. The result was a sufficient sum to pay for the added expense of the steel poles and the fine appear­ance of our streets now is due to those who generously resjionded.

Tho.se who contributed to the cost beside the county of Ingham are: Har ry E , Neely, J . L . Barry, Ford Aseltine, R. C. Dart and Son, L . H . Harrison, Farmers Bank, L . E . Sa l ­isbury, Firs t State and Savings Bank, Deuel and Willet t , Ingham County News, Rose, Howard and V a i l , Mick-elson-Haugh Co., Consumer's Power Co., Geo. M . Webb, Henry Verhelst, A . J . Torrance, G. S. Thorburn, Clyde Burt, Sharp and Ireland, John Samann's Sons, Tony Simoni, H . H . Snyder, Clipper Bros., A . McDonald, Neely & McKiggan , A . A , Howlett ft Son, J . E . Taylor, Densmore and Dav­is, E . A . Reedy, Roy W. Adams, Longyear Bros., J . E . Waggoner, W . J . Richards, J . C. Fingerle, C. W . Browne, D. G. Bar r and Son, Antonio Genco, A . L . Vandercook, Ingham Abstract Co., H . J . Bond, A . Snyder, George Leverett, Wolverine Engineer­ing Co., Dr . C. E . Henderson, N . N . Rouse, R, L . Cavender, Hood and See­ly , 0 . S. Bush, Lu l a Peason, Dr. H . Freeland, Dayton and Post, D r . L , N . Yerkes, J . F . Greve, E . A . Dens­more, A . M . Smith and Co., A . A . Bergman, Kenfield and Stevens, D r . Waggoner, Silsby and Letts. -Beside the county's contribution .$449.00 was collecte<l with a few yet to see. Only a few refused to subscribe.

According to P, H . Wheeler, dis­trict manager of the power company, the lights on the residence streets are to be replaced with the new type of baskets with 100 watt lamps sus­pended from the wood poles now standing. This type of reflector saves' all the light, spreading it over the .street evenly thus avoiding the glare of the old style lamp which but serv­ed to emphasize the inky darkness between the lamps.

The lights on the poles already i n ­stalled are of 250 watt capacity and Mason's business section now com­pares favorably with other towns of its size.

It was also planned to install f l i t steel poles around the east and west sides of the school grounds but when it was found that the poles that are now standing would have to remain to carry the wires required at that point i t was decided to hang the brackets from the wood poles. I t is likely however that a steel pole wi l l be placed i n the street in front of the north entrance to the building. This the school board wi l l provide for. The business men of the city are grateful to the supervisors for their generositj; in making this i m ­provement possible for without their help i t could not have been done.

"We cannot look to a reduction in pay to ofTect a reduction in the gov­ernment pay roll . What we are looking for is a reduction in tho number of employees. We have superflous employees. It is an unpleasant and dif­ficult task to separate people from the Federal service. But it can be, done. It wi l l be done."

Wi th these words President Coolidge has made it clear that the gov­ernment is about to clear itself of the hordes of unnecessary employees who have cumbered its payrolls since during the war. In other words i f the president has his way the government wi l l cease to be a diaritable institu­tion and begin as a going concern with the interests of its miillions of stock­holders in mind.

Differing from most individuals who are elected to public office the president seems to be as insistent on economy now as he was before election.

According to reports from Washington there are still at least a third more employees than before the war. Every bureau head as well as every employee is seeking to keej) on the payroll. The president has a herculean task to perform i f he succeeds in reducing this number to any extent. He needs the co-operation of every member of congress in the task and it is a good time now to ob.serve how our representatives in congress act on the IS lis to lop off these unnecessary expenses. They wi l l be around in a couple of years looking for a renewal of their tenure and wo should know how they have looked after our interests while they were there.

In this connection, it makes good news to read that around the state capitol nowadays the pie counter is pretty clean. In the heat of campaigns i t is easy to charge state od'icers with political machinations and the build­ing up of p;iy I'oll.s, but now while we have time to consider and the mind to tliscern, i.s a good o]Dportunity to look tiiem over. If reports coming from the state caiiitol are true and there arc loss u.seless clerks than before let us give tho.sc ro.spon.siblo our "thtmk you" in order that more may be accom­plished in this direction. It sounds good if i t is tnie—if it is true i t is commendable.

It is inconceivable to imagine anyone knowing less about real mother­hood than a college bred old maid and yet when Dean Jean Hamilton of the University of Michigan spoke to Detroit Women's City Club members the other day, daily papers gave her views the front page. " I f you want to keep in touch with your daughter nowadays," says the dean, "you mothers have got to travel a fast pace. You must keep step with them—but i f you do you'l l go some." Such is the gist of her remarks to the women who gath­ered to hear her. Y o u mothers who have daughters and expect to wield an influence over their lives, according to the dean, must wave or bob your locks, daub your lips, pencil your brows, shorten your skirts and step out into real life. If you stay at home you wi l l lose sight of them, .she says. Stuff and nonsense. Sensible women know better, and i f that is the kind of bunk Dean Hamilton is teaching our girls in the university, shame on her. It is tho oi)inion of a great many who have observed life carefully that the modem flapper is the product of a generation of young mothers who have not been trained in the finer things of life. Shall we try to keep this un­natural pace or shall v/e attempt to regain our hold on these young people and save them to useful lives. What are we to gain i f mothers must go the pace in order to keep sight of the daughter? W i l l it help the daughter over the rough ways i f mother too hits the bumps? Not a bit of it. iThere is a sanctified throne where mother I'eigns supreme i f she is a wise mother. Gen­erations from earliest liistory to this day have testified to this and 1925 is not the milcnnium by any means despite the prophecies of certain fanatics to the contrary. Clean, wholesome home atmosphere is, we admit, .somewhat out of fashion but as potent as ever and the mother who deserts her sweet and tender purity, the dignity of her position to become a pace setter for a race too swift had best remain at home to await with sympathetic arms the gir l she lost; because the g i r l wi l l come back—unscathed i f the mother's influence is strong enough, broken and degraded i f not. In either case the mother wi l l at least have saved herself.

During the past few years the citizens of Mason have had a number of opportunities to be exceedingly grateful to the board of supervisors and the county roiid commission for favors which not so long ago would have seemed beyond reason to hope for. The most recent example of the good feeling which the county solons have for the county seat town is the generous pro­vision made for the new street l ighting poles. Because of the fact that our taxes are already high i t was not possible to place this type of poles all over the city. The merchants wanted better l ight ing down town.and went down in their jeans to buy them but there was the court house square which would have spoiled the whole effect i f left i n darkness. The supervisors did not hesitate but made the appropriation available at once and the people of M a ­son thank them for it . It shows a good spirit between the town and the county and the people of Mason want the county supervisors to know that tliis sort of spirit is appreciated. Other manifestations of this spirit came in the building of the network of fine roads which center here, many of which traverse our principal streets and all of which have helped lift the burden of street maintenance cost. Keeping the rest rooms in the court house open for the benefit of the people of this part of the county is another in­stance of community fellow.ship which ought not to go unnoticed. While i t is not for Mason people alone yet i t is an asset to Mason's attractions to those who come here to do business with her merchants and helps M a ­son just that much.

The so-called Child Labor amendment w i l l undoubtedly meet exactly the fate to which it is entitled when the state legislature finally takes action upon it. There is now no doubt that the state wi l l refuse even to go to the bother of submitting it to the voters for their consideration. Tlie N E W S regrets this because i t is satisfied the proposal would meet overwhelming defeat at the hands of Michigan's electorate thus forever disposing of the question. A s i t stands now,the matter w i l l continue to come up and bother each succeeding legislature for years to come. The whole scheme was bom in the minds of self styled social workers, aided and abetted by union labor groups who see i n i t a scheme of restricting the supply of labor thus afford­ing better opportunity of increased wages and lessened hours. A s for the social workers, the scheme opens up unlimited possibilities for soft Jobs at fancy salaries. I t is a matter best handled by the states and the public are now awake to the danger of further Federal supervision over household affairs. A s for child labor, we know of a lot of boys and girls who have Bufferedjforlack of some useful employment, but mighty few from being

overworiced.

Wm. Giersbrook, The program which followed the business nieeting was in charge of Mrs, Wm. Palen, Jr . Roll call was responded to by "Patriotic Sayings", Mrs, Wm. Giersbrook gave a very pleasing reading, Mr.^ anrl Mrs . Benjamin Guenther then sang a beautiful duet and responded to an encore. Mrs. Palen then introduced Clarence Ho l ­mes, Supt. of the School for the blind as speaker for the afternoon. Mr. Holmes said he had no chosen subject but. spoke of civilization and the child as a factor in our present day civilization. He said: "Civ i l iza­tion is the flowering of the human race—the human race come to per­fection. Can we say that this gov­ernment wi l l always continue? There is no recipe for perpetuity of govern­ment. During the war we spoke of making democracy safe, we now speak of making our republic safe, I am concerned with a safe and sane government when people can live safely and enjoy the fruits of their labor. We should think of America in terms of human beings and strive to build up civilization. The big job in school is to teach the child to think —think consecutively—to think clean things. Home is the foundation stone of the nation. The mind can be trained in the home as nowhere else. It is the place to develop a will and personality that marks the child as the builder of future civilization. The higher life is the life to look forward to, I want the boys and girls train­ed in the way of l ife."

Mr, and Mrs , Fred Brenner then sang a duet responding to an encore. The next meeting wil l be the annual business meeting and election of of­ficers and wi l l be hold at the home of Mr . and Mrs. Wm. Giersbrook.

I he has lived here has made' many friends, yet they rejoice in the oppor­tunity which his new and larger field wi l l olVer him. The olTicc force which the Consumers Power Co. has been maintaining in Lansing to care for its business in the territory adjacent to the city wi l l be consolidated with that of the gas company and the of­fices of the gas company on East Michigan avenue will be occupied. By this arrangement Mason and all points north of here wi l l be thrown into the Lansing district of. the Con­sumers company instead of being at­tached to Jackson as at present. M r . Wheeler announces that he wi l l not remove from Mason at present and that when he does there wil l be some one in the Mason office with full auth­ority to handle service complaints and other matters for Mason people as formerly.

A new "school of the a i r" w i l l offer its courses of study to citizens of Michigan, as well as a l l other states of the middle west, when W K A R , the powerful Michigan Agricultural Col­lege station, goes on with regular farm courses after March 1.

. The first of these courses will de.al with agricultural engineering, cover­ing everything from g^is engines to household conveniences equipment. It wi l l start on Monday, March 2, and run for two weeks. The lectures, two of which are booked for each evening, wil l run from 7:15 until 8:00 o'clock, eastern time, from Monday through Friday, Inclusive, of each week.

Following the agricultural engi­neering course, other special phases of agriculture will be covered in courses of similar length. The school wil l be kept up through the spring and early summer months, i t is un­derstood, with crops, dairying, gar­dening, and other subjects included.

The radio farm school, the first of its kind ever attempted in this part of the country, is expected to prove of interest and value to the thous­ands of Michigan farmers 'who now own radio receiving sets. Additional thousands of city .folks w i l l also be interested in the gardening courses, and other general material to be sent in the school.

Registration for any of the courses can be made by any radio listener in the state. Those who register and complete the work of the course w i l l be given official certificates, cojjies of the lectures, and other material to round out the courses of the school. The Director of Short Courses, M . A . C , East Lansing, wi l l serve as regis­tration officer for the radio courses.

Friends of Edward S, Edgaj-, prom­inent Aurelius farmer, were .shocked Thursday to learn of his death which occurred at University Hospital, A n n Arbor, where he had gone to receive treatment. Mr , Edgar was born July 11, 18C6, at the pioneer home­stead in Aurelius, being the fourth of ten children born to Joseph and Mary Edgar who settled there in an early day. Of the family there survive to mourn their loss, six brothers, John, A l v i n , Lo and Claiid of Aurelius, E u ­gene of Mason, Lee of Bellevue, and two sisters, Mrs . L . A . Gregg of Lan­sing, and Mrs . George Eckhart of Fowlerville.

The parents of Mr . Edgar came to Aurelius in 1864 and cleare<l up one of the finest farms in the township to which the sons have added until they are recognized as among the most representative farmers and stock-raisers in the county, the brother, Claud, being supervisor of Aurelius township and .secretary of the Mason Co-operative Shipping Association. The father died in June six years ago at the age of 84, and the mother pass­ing away a little over a year ago at the advanced age of 80.

M r . Edgar was well born. In the old time liome, where the virtues of obedience, self-denial, integrity and industry were taught and practiced, he grew to manhood. His life has re­flected the precepts instilled in the childhood home.

When declining years of the par­ents, made the care of a large family wearisome, the three brothers, John, E d and Lo, established for themselves a home at this place, a home that has ever been outstanding for its cheer and hospitality.

Edward Edgar was a friend to a l l . To the wrongdoer he was always charitable. To the needy, always gen­erous. To the weak, ever tender and thoughtful. H i s friends loved h im because of those dependable traits of cheerfulness, understanding sympathy and honesty.

• A good man has gone, but to the family, his neighbors, his host of friends, he has left a priceless legacy.

P U P I L S VISIT B A N K . About thirty eighth grade pupils

of the Dansville schools were in

Mason Tuesday visit ing the Fi rs t State and Savings bank where they were shown through the vaults and shown the books and had explained to them modern banking methods. The pupils were members of the book­keeping class and were accompanied by their teacher, Mrs. Watters, com­ing to Mason and returning in one of the school busses.

The tractor engine differs from the automobile engine only in that i t is of heavier construction, longer stroke and of slower speed which is kept constant by a governor. A n d because of these differences tractor engines offer other distinct problems in op­eration aside from general i l l s to which the automobile engine is heir. These ordinary troubles can be cured by anyone with a working knowledge of gas engines.

Many tractors are designed to run on kerosene as well as gasoline. Kero­sene volatilizes much slower than gasoline, hence heat is the only thing that renders kerosene volatile enoug i for use, and even then the engine parts must move slower than when using gasoline to gain the ful l bene­fit from its use.

If you find that your Jcerosene is condensing and impairing the work of your tractor engine more than should be expected, look at once to heating devices attached to the carburetor and manifold. One way to test this is gauge the pulling power of the en­gine. I f the fuel adjustment is shut down as far as is practical to give a good mixture and there is s t i l l a- de­cided lack of power the chances are that the kerosene gas. is chi l l ing be­low the safety point. Another way is to watch the exhaust. I f the carbure­

tor is adjusted properly and there is black smoke issuing from the exhaust pipe, condensation is taking place, and the kerosene is not properly ut i l ­ized.

"Kerosene knocking" is an ailment which many operators of kerosene tractors have to overcome. It isn't one-half so bad as i t sounds. Such a knock- may occur because of accumu­lated carbon in the cylinders, but there is yet another reason. A kero­sene knock may occur because of the differences of combustion character­istics between kerosene and gasoline. The heating value of gasoline is much greater than kerosene, consequently developing more horse-power per gal­lon. If such a knock does take place when traveling under a normal load the combustion space between piston and cylinder head, may be too small. Try building up this space by insert­ing one or two shims between the cylinder block and the head, provided the head is removable.

Carbonized spark-plugs and poorly seating valves w i l l be found to attend poor kerosene carburetion.

A i r washers are necessary to trac­tor work where the machine is con­stantly passing over dry soil , lime, fertilizer, etc., during dry weather. Equip your tractor with one and min­imize your troubles.

Jackie Coouan in "Lit t le Robinson Crusoe," Feb. 25-2C.

Mickey Hogan's father, a San Francisco policeman, is shot in the performance of his hazardous duties and Mickey is left an orphan. The boy's mother died in Mickey's infancy, but a sister, Mickey's aunt, l iving in Austral ia , proposes to raise the child.

Captain Dynes, of the steamer, "Sara Winch," a tramp .ship, is Mickey's uncle—brother of the sister i n Australia to whom Mickey is to be sent. On board the "Sara Winch" under the unkindly care of Skipper Dynes, Mickey is making his way to his home on the far-off Island Con­tinent. The ship is wrecked in a typhoon that strikes the ill-fated ves­sel off the Wanda group of islands in the South Seas.

A Cannibal Island A l l on board are lost except Mickey

who, like Robin.son Crusoe, escapes and is miraculously washed up on the beach of Wanda. The cat, t i e mas­cot of the ship, is also saved—and Mickey names him "Friday."

The island is inhabited by a tribe of man-eating savages and by mem­bers of a small copra settlement of whites, whose presence on the island has hitherto restrained the blacks from their cannibalistic tendencies.

Cruelties practiced upon members of the tribe by the brutish white overseer of tlie copra settlement ex­cite an uprising.

The Little White God Mickey is the innocent cause of this

disaster, for the natives think he is a god and misunderstand his speech, which tiioy intepret as encouraging tliem in their" uprising.

Having been the uiiwitting cause of tlie impending calamity, Mickey undertakes to save the lives of the whites, and this lie does after a ser­ies of adventures that thrill and amuse, entertain and astonish, and Abound in comedy situations.

Following Mickey's brief career as Ji white god in a cannabalistic land, is a triumphant return to San Fran­cisco, his home town, where he is re­stored to the arms of his friend and protector. Captain MacDavitt, of the San Francisco police, and who had been the pal of the boy's gallant fatiier.

magazines and books in the past de­cade, a school in which no onie has surpassed Mr . Beach. Then, too, "The Spoilers" is a true picture of early AlaSkan history.

When Rex Beach's novel was first picturized ten years ago by Colonel Selig, it was the most talked about and the biggest financial success that the films had ever known. But since that time, motion pictures have made gigantic strides forward in technique, intlirection, in settings and acting, and this new screen version of "The Spoilers" is as far ahead of the origi­nal one as that production was ahead of the other features of that day.

Jesse D. Hampton, who produced the new picturization of "The Spoil­ers" for Goldwyn, is known through­out the industi7 as one of the ablest producers. He has headed his own organization for years and made a great many of the screen's greatest pictures. Lambert Hil lyer , whom he engaged to direct it, made himself known to millions of playgoers as a director of outdoor stories of great ability through his direction of a Score or more of Wil l iam S. Hart pictures, many of which he wrote himself.

The cast of "The Spoilers" is as notable as is the pro( uction. It is headed by Milton Sills, one of the featured players, in the role of Roy Glennister, which made W m . Far-num's reputation when it was first screened. Sills is one of the mo.st popular leading men on the .screen and had achieved notable success on the stage before devoting his atten­tion to pictures. Anna Q. Nilsson, featured in the leading roles of many iroductions, is cast as Cherry Ma-otte, Noah Beery as the villainous

MacNamara, Barbara Bedford as Hel­en Chester, and other equally popu­lar screen actors in the remaining roles bring this gripping story to life again on the screen.

"The Sellers" with Stan Laurel , is

the comedy for Friday and Saturday. " M i a m i , " Betty Compson's latest

offering, is announced for Sunday ev­ening.

Miami is the winter paradise of the gilded set; the playground of society. On its golden beaches and under its moonlight skies frolic the pampered scions of society and wealth,

" M i a m i , " the picture, lifts the veil and gives a view of the lives of the wealthy. It shows what goes on in­side of the pretentious mansions and aboard the regal yachts. It is one of the greatest society dramas ever

shown on a screen. Lavish sets, gor­geous gowns and beautiful estates, charming, ultra-smart women and clever men, revelry, intrigue, ro­mance and love—all these you wil l find in " M i a m i . "

"Behind the Curtain," a thr i l l ing mystery drama written by Wil l iam J . F lynn, former head of the U . S. Secret Service, and founded on actual fact, shows here ne.xt Tuesday even­ing. Lucille Rick.sen and Johnny Hnrron head the all star cast pre­sented in this gripping .story. A murder mystery, two innocent per­sons convicted of the crime and sen­tenced to death, then saved by a clev­er bit of detective work, are the high lights of "Behind the Curtain."

^T^HE working man of today, going to work in I his automobile, has more comforts andcon*

veniences,than had the old-time emperors, compelled to slow locomotion in horise rawn vehicles. We are so accustomed to this state of affairs that we take it for granted. But this amazing development of modern times didn't y«s^ hap-psn. t was achieved. It was achieved in most part by men who thought of their job as a service—by men who were so obsessed by the idea of achievement —of progress —that they could not help but concentrate all the forces of their mind on wresting new secrets from Nature- creating new wealth — inventing new ways of doing things, or new methods of doing old things better. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been and is an important factor in bringing about the universal employment of the motor car, thus adding to the business efficiency, bettering thehealth,andincreasingthecontentmentofall. The enterprise and thrift of this Company, energized by the earnest desire to serve, has brought petroleum products within the reach of everyone. It was thinking of the job, rather than the pay; of the service, rather than the profit—wnich inspiredmembersofthisorganizationtodevelop that long list of advanced refining and market­ing methods which have exerted such a pro­found influence upon the petroleum industry. It was planning for service to millions, which led to the establishment of gasoline storage depots, tank wagon routes, and service sta­tions—tiiroughout the Middle West. If you would see this ideal of service in opera­tion, note when you drive into a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service station the willing­ness, zeal and efficiency of the man who fills your gasoline tank or drains your crankcase. That man is not "on show". Heisjustoneof thousands who have acquired the habit of thinking of his job as a service.

Sunday—Even after all the thrift tawk we ben banded when I practise jt why pa and ma go and jump all over me. Now today pa gives me a dime for Sunday skool, and when I come home and they found out I had saved a nickel of it and invested it in lickerish, they sent me to bed. Bewitful day to.

Monday—Had a test today in a rithmetick. After I seen the teech-er looking over my paper I ast her what she thot about it and she sed. Well I wi l l say this. You are consis-dent in your paper. I sed what do you mean and she sed. Wel l the an-sers is all rong evry 1 of them.

Tuesday—Ant Emmy may lern sum time but she is awfull slow at it. To­day pa happened to mention about a yung fellow witch has got .saint V i t -uses dance and she wanted to know of pa where at he lernt it and i f it was so very hard to do.

Wensday—Pa was a telling ma that Joe Dugan had announced that he was going to Yurrope agen. M a sod. Why I diddent no le had ever been to Yurrope and pa -sod Wel l he haint but he has told that he was a going lots of times and he done i t agen to­day.

Thirsday—Ma was reading about a man witch was a rested for stealing and he laved i t on his wife. M a sed. Wel l I call a man witch hides behind a womans skurt a mitey little man dont you. And pa sed. I ' l l say I do. Mitey small. Then ma seen the point and flew up.

We, the Republicans of Ingham county in convention assembled, do hereby reaffirm our allegiance to the principles of that party whose record of nearly three quarters of a century of service to our country stands un-paralled in the annals of. sttite and nation.

We renew our faith in our party leaders of the present and pay our homage to those whose great service to our country in peace and i n war have marked the pages of history with their deeds and accomplish­ments.

We affirm our faith in the prin­ciples laid down at the national con­vention of our party held in Cleve­land preceding the last national elec­tion and pledge our best efforts to the working out of the splendid program of progress and national development embodied in the platform there adopt­ed.

Especially do we give expression to our faith in the leadership of our President, Calvin Coolidge. His calm and dispassionate hold upon the af­fairs of the nation; his great under­standing of the needs of the common people; his sense of economy and thrift; his courageous and unflinch­ing attitude upon grave questions of state, all point the way to a return of common sense in public affairs and lead the people to a renewed con­fidence in the honesty, integrity and ability of the nation's leaders. We heartily congratulate our. President
