decided to launch a publicity campaign
for the purpose of securing new members to
the organization. This was unanimously
agreed upon by delegates of county‘farm‘bu‘f
reaus, officers of the State Farm Bureau, and
other representatives of the agricultural inter-
estsof the state whoassembled at the Fort
Shelby Hotel, Detrmt, last. Fridayrafternoon
Wtozarrange the financial details and discuss the
' future of the Farm Bureau movement.

The county farm bureau idea has been very
. slow to take root inpthis state, and the present
mwuf whip does not exceed one twenty-fifth
- 1; .1111 E':-:1111ers.0ne reason for this is that
111: 111 he farmers are members of some other
farm 01 0'anizatlon performing at least seme of
r the functiOns of the farm bureau. Another
' . reason is that up to very recently the farm bu-
reau has been unable to demonstrate its value
in practical results. Still another reason has
been the foolish suspicion that the farm bureau
movement was started and that its policies are
dictated by great interests who plan on using
the farm bureau as a tool to prevent the farm-
ers from bringing about actual reforms.

Farm Bureau Prbgress in Other States

We are sure, however, that the farm bureau
has prpven its right to be called a farmer’s or-
ganization, and has succeeded in removing to
the satisfaction of the great majority, any
stigma that may have attached to its motives.
Its program is cOrIServative ,——many believe
too censervative ,—but it has a practical and
constructive appeal which has drawn to its

standard many cf the beSt thinkers of the ag- '

1'icultural group, not only here in Michigan but
other stateseas well. As a matter of fact the
farm bureau has become a very large and im-
portant factor 1n determining the agricultural
policies of certain other states. In Illinois, in
particular, the State Agricultural Association
made .np of the county farm bureau units, has
become a rather influential organization

CLEMENS SATURDAY

Deserves Support, of Every Farmer

At the early inception of the farm bureau

Side .of thosetanght 111 the agricultural colleges.

The service it rendered was in fact, rather sup-

plementary to the work of the colleges. 1* or

~. same reason which we do not presume to know,

the bulk of the farmers did not take kindly to

: the work of the farm bureau along these lines.

ConSeQuently the membership was small, in~
terest was lacking and the farm bureau move
ment lagged. But it did not require the head'
and the county agents
long to see that the farmer’s m0st pressing
problem was one of marketing instead of pro-
And when

lution of these problems, it did not take the
farmers long to understand that these efforts
were in their behalf and should have their sup-
port. At the same time there are scores of
thousands of farmers who have had no per-
sonal contact. with the work of the farm bu-
reau and are too little acquainted with its ob-
jects to know whether it is a good, bad or in-
different organization. It is to reach the unin-
formed and the prejudiced that the publicity
campaign is to be inaugurated and the purpos-
es and plans of the farm bureau explained.
We ~cannot be unmindful of the fact that the
farm bureau is one of the few organizations
which offers to the farmer a membership with-
out any sectarian, fraternal 01' social obliga-
tions. Many claim that thc strength of older
organizations is due to these obligations which
hold the farmer’s interest and loyalty. In oth-
er words, that farmers will not become mem-
bers of organizations for the mere sake of be
longing to them; that there must be a special

tie to hold, them. The one great'advantage of

the farm bure’au is that its principles are broad

his affiliation to any other organization. It re-
quires nothing from himaside from his mem-

strong state farm bureau, representing the

invaluable instrument to fortify and protect
the interests of the farmers during these crit-

the testimony given by Howard E.

torial staff, at the profiteering inves-
tigation which is under way. Mr.
Youngs was the first witness called
by Prosecuting Attorney M. Grove
Hatch, who is conducting the inves-
tigation before Circuit Judge James
A. Parkinson.

Mr. Noon has discussed distribu-
tion problems and made the state-
ment that there was a surplus of dis-
tributors in some instances as many
as four wagons covering the same
route. He stated that if some of the
distributors were eliminated and the
milk distributed by a fewer number
that it would have a tendency to keep
the price of. milk down.

Law Bumps Beekeepers

L. C. Retan, deputy state inspect-
or of apiaries, under the state de-
partment of agriculture has been in
the southern and western part of the
state investigating bee hives owned
by various farmers and announces
that he had caused several arrests to
be made for violations of the state
law requiring beekeepers to provide
movable frames in their hives. The
law requiring movable frames in the
beehives was for the purpose of pre-
venting the spread of disease in the
hives should any of the bees become
diseased in any way. He said that
the crossed combs which often re-
sulted in uncared for hives prevented
an inspection of the hive and that the
law requiring movable frames was
made in order that all the bees might
be easily inspected.

Farmers National Council Announces Policy on Natibnai Issues

try are now capitalized for

about $19,000,000,000 . The
Farmers' National Council, thru
its National Committee onTrans-
portation has been working to
secure a fair valuation of the
railroads. which will cut down
this capitalization by at least $5,000,—
000,000 to $7,000,000,000. It ad-
vocates also the use of the taxing
power of the people to pay for public
ownership of the railroads. A fair
valuation thereof, we are confident,
will show that the owners are not en—
titled to be paid over $12,000,000,-
000 to $12,500,000,000'at the out-
side. This amount is about equal to
the total wealth of the two hundred
and six richest people of America,
whose aggregate Wealth is about

estates and the monopolists of nat-
ural resources.

Government ownership of the rail-
roads free of all indebtedness, as ad—
vocated by the Farmers' National
Council, is feasible within ten years
at the outside. It would permit an
annual saving of close to $1,000,-
000,000 a year in dividends and in-
terest on bonds. This would make
possible and practical a reduction in
freight rates for the same volume of
business as today,_of at least 20 per
cent, and probably 25 ,per cent. In
other words, government ownership
and democratic operation of the rail-
roads under the Council’s plan would
result in just'about' as big a reduc-
tion from the ,pi'esent freight rates
as private ownership means an in-
crease over the present freight rates.

the farmers of America fully $400,-
000,000 a year. '

The Merchant Marine

The financial interests of America
want to have the ships built by the
government during the war turned
over to private shipping corporations
at a price of one—fourth to one-third
less than the cost of construction.
These financial interests oppose any
regulation by the government and
want to make ocean freight rates as
high as the trafi‘lc will bear, so that
they can ,make as enormous profits
as they did before the war, when 15
to 25 per cent dividends were not un-
usual. Senator Duncan U. Fletcher,
of Florida.‘ said, “unless further can-
cellations (of government construc-
tion of ships) takes place, we would
have under‘ our flag next year (1920)
nearly 16,732,000 deadweight tons
of shipping, about . 14,000,000 of
which will be fit for overseas trade.”
In 1917 the value of agricultural ex—
ports was $1,969.849; this year it
.will be hundreds of millions more.

The Farmers’ National Council ad-
vocates government ownership and
democratic operation of these ships
constructed with the tax‘ payer's
money at cost and for the benefit'of
,the entire people. It opposes the
turning of our ships over to private
financial interests to exploit the
farmers and other producers and con-
sumers. Its plan for the merchant
marine will save farmers easily
$100,000,000 a year.

Nearly. every great fortune in the

corpOrations developing the gas and
salt wells had a net income of nearly
$237,000,000. The total net income of
the corporation extracting mineinls
was in that year nearly $800,000,000.
Eleven mine owners or mine opeiat-
ors had in 1916 a netincome of over
$1,000,000, each; ten had a. net income
of over $1,500,000 each; and several
had a net incomeof over $5,000,000.

Private ownership of natural" re-
sources is one of the fundamental
causes of the high cost of living, and
compels the farmers to pay a high
price for tractors, farm machinery,
coal and nearly everything
they use and wear. The plan of the
Farmers’ National Council would save
farmers hundreds of millions of dol-
lars a year for natural resources and
their products.

would:

Mr. Riggs, we are told, is descend-
ed from a long line, of successful
farmers: His grandfather was born
on a farm ‘in Cirginia. His father
owned and operated a large farm in
Indiana. Our subject began his ca-
reer as a farmer in 1885 when he
was 20 years old and made his first
purchase of land in 1888. “From
that time until.the present, he has
continued in the active management
of his farms.”

Quoting the announcement furth-
er we learn: “While devoting his
energies primarily to farming opera—
tions, Mr. Riggs has found time both
for other business enterprises and for
public affairs. -He was elected coun—
ty auditor in 1894,. For a number of
years he was active in the develop-
ment of the coal, oil and gas indus-
tries of his section. For twelve years
he was president of a trust company.
He has been connected with the con-
struction of more than 200 miles of
improved highway. Since 1912, he
has been-engaged inthe manufacture
of drain tile.”

Such are his qualifications for a
job that should deal exclusively with
agricultural projects. We never
have been able to understand why it‘
should be necessary. or even advis-
able for men who aim to hold high
agricultural positions to have had ex-
perience in other lines of trade. There
is no business more intricate and dif-
ficult than farming. $1: takes .an

unusually capable man to handle a .

very large farm successfully, and
we cannot understand how a man
who “actively manages his aim
farms" can have time or inclination
to become an “auditor, a trust com-
pany president, an oil. coal and gas
promoter, ~a highway. builder, or a
manufacturer of drain tiles” 'Cer—

'tainly no man who is financially in-

terested in such projects as these can.

ing market is a. controlling factor
during the whole market season. If
you have watched the antics of the
bean market during the past twenty
days, you must have figured out that
some one has thrown over a baited
hook, and you can rest] assured that
these fellows expect you to 'run away
with hook, line and sinker.

The bean market for the 1919 crop
must necessarily open, but the fel-
lows who have seen fit to open it be-
fore the crop is off the fields, should
be caught at their own game. In the
northern part of the state, the tracks

of the “bean market bears” are to.

be found everywhere. In some in—
stances, offers have been made, and
considered seriousy by growers at
three dollars per bushel. If the
“bears” could get hold of enough
beans on the opening market, they
will control the market by dumping
cheap beans, whenever they can make
a “.wad " The market was played in
this way last season. and growers had
to pocket the loss:
Through With Pintos

Here’s a fact to keep in mind:
Wholesale growers are through with
“Pinto” beans. Canners will not put
up beans from the Orient this yeal.
Transportation charges are on a pre—
war basis; government regulations
are ofi. The only protection you
have, as a grower, is while the beans
are on your own property. Specula—
tion is rife. Buyers know world con—
ditions, and they are going to play
the game stronger than ever before.
If there was ever a time when the
farmer should study conditions as
‘they affect the markets of the world
that time is now.

- price should be,

Growers should forget all about...
and ‘

the “question of opening price”
figure a little on what would-be con-
sidered a fair price—a price to cov-
er the cost of production, and a rea-
sonable profit. You can study condi-
tions until you are weary; you can
read reports and examine markets——
you can go the whole round of bean

production, distribution. demand and.

supply, and you can’t find a single
logical reason why the bean grow-
ers of Michigan should sell a pound
of beans this fall at a price which
does not cover the cost of produc—
tion and a reasonable profit. Let the
“bears’ roal, tear and rend ;just
keep your eye on the indicator and
watch the game.

Sooner or later the question as to
cost of production is going to be an
important factor in determining the
price of beans. And, too,

TRACTOR SHOW
Joseph County, is
going to have a tractor show. Sep—

Bureau. The demonstration on
those two days will be managed by
Professor Musselman of the M. A. 0.,

assisted by C. L. Nash of Goldwater -

and P. C. Jameison of Marshall. This
demonstration will be unique in at
least two ways. That is, in the first
place during the plowing and fitting
demonstration fuel consumption will
be determined. 'This will be deter-
mined by alloting each tractor 21 def-
inite amount of fuel. Then all of
the machines will start plowing at
the same time and will plow until
the supply of fuel is exhausted when
an amount of ground will be meas—
ured and the cost of the fuel per acre
will be determined. Also on the
second day the belt power of the var-
ious machines will be determined by-
a brake test. This will be the first
demonstration in the State where
this feature has been carried out.

“About six years ago the northern
tier 0t states started a campaign for
consolidated schools. A bonus was
offered varying from $1, 000 to $2.-
500 £01 districts that would consoili-

and animal husbandry,- manual train-

ing with relation to farm work and

One might naturally conclude that I“

the farmers of Dallas county were
very affluent to be able to pay the
expenses 'of so many trips to Living—

for cattle. But we are told that these
farmers are just average farmers;
that were it not for the assistance of
the banks of their county which put

up the most of the funds against the

cattle as security that the farineri'

would not be able to buy such high-
grade animals. Here is an example
which many of the bankers of Mich—

igan may well emulate and in so do-

ing they can perform an inestimable
service in expanding the live stock
and dairy industry in Michigan.
Livingston county has play ed no
small part in the reputation Michi—

grade dairy cattle. Some have call-
ed "Livingston the “heart of the Hol—

, , The Consolidated Rural School
UCH INTEREST is being shown in the
consolidated rural school. Michigan
has been slow to adopt this system, but in
many other states it is rapidly taking the place
of the old “deestrict skule.” Such few town-
ships in this state as have combined its school
‘ districts into the single unit are satisfied that
they have taken a long step in the better in-
terests of rural education.
_ It is becoming more difficult to farm by
—“guess and b’gosh.” The successful farmer
of the future must farm by rule and rote. He
_ must be educated. He must have had in early
yOIith that study and school discipline which
‘ stimulates and regulates the mental habits. In
’the average eighth grade district school noth-
' ing but the mere rudiments of essential things
> , is or can be taught. Boys and girls leave these
, schools at an age when, if they are not dullards
- they are just beginning to take a real heart in-
‘ terest in the subjects taught. The parents of,
most of them are too poor to send them to high
school in the adjoining towns, and they are
forced to settle down to farm work at a time
when their youthful desires and imaginations .
. are at their fullest swing. It is no wonder that

 

boys and girls grow. tired of the farm. Neither

is it any wonder that the majority Of the boys
' and girls of the town, who through choice or
necessity leave school at the end of the eighth
grade, are drift-wood by the time they reach
their majorities. .It is impossible to bring out
the best there is in boys or girls or develop
their‘ reasoning powers in eight years of school
training. The boy or girl who has graduated
from high school can see opportunities and.
happiness in the business of farming that the
eighth grade graduate of fourteen cannot pos-
sibly comprehend." There ought to be no ar-
gument as to the advantages of at least a high
school education. But these advatnages the
country boy or girl cannot have in the envi-
ronment of the country where they should be
taught. To attend town school requires mon-
ey and there is moreover the danger that the
attractions of the town may wean the boys and
girls from the country.

But few school districts are prosperous
. enough to construct and maintain a school
building of such size, or purchase, supplies of
such character, or engage instructors of such

calibre,——as are necessary fora complete high.” "

school course. But by combining the sehcol ‘
districts this is easily accomplished. Instead
of a half dozen or more widely scattered.
schools of a single room where all classes, of

211;,13’311 sizes must recite before the rest of the pu-v ‘

pils, there is a central high school of many
rooms, each having its particular use. There

' Denby and the League of Nations ”"5!

DWIN DENBY of Detroit is a candidate

for Governor of Michigan. Mr. Denby is

a manufacturer. At the first bugle call he re-

linquished his private enterprises and entered

the service where he served to such good pur-

pose that when he returned to his native city
he wore the insignia of a major.

The Major has begun his campaign. The
chief plank in his platform,.if one may judge
from the tenor of his speeches, is Opposition to.
the League of Nations. “America stands best
alone,” saysf'Mr. Denby. “Our soldiers didn’t
fight fOr a League of Nations. In fact, nothing
was said to them about a League of Nations.”
Mr. Denby is a gentleman and a scholar and a
very smart man, but he speaks like a child.

We do not remember that anything was said
to the soldiers about a League of Nations. But
jogging our memory a bit we seem to recall
other phrases which were in the mouths of all
at the time we entered the war and during the
period We were giving the Kaiser the same
thing he will get below some day. “Making
the world safe for democracy,” “9. war to end
war,” “to establish an international brother-
hood.”- -these were the inspiring slogans we
preached to our soldiers as they took up arms.
These were the ideals the press and the pulpit
talked about. These were the ideals, we ‘told
our Allies, for which we were entering the
struggle. And these are the ideals which na-
tiOns have sought to embody in the League of
Nations covenant. They are merely trying to
carry out their pledges made to the people dur-
ing a solemn moment. i .

NO, nothing was said about the League of
Nations. And we didn’t tell our boys about
Chateau Thierry. For some reason or other
we overlooked that bloody battle of the Meuse.
Mebbe we should hav told them about the ex-
act details of the tr ty of peace. But we
didn’t because we couldn’t. All the battles of
the war were mere incidents of the war. They
came as a matter of course. Everyone expect-
ed they Would come. The treaty of peace was
an outcome of the war. One week before the

armistice no one would have dared-to predict ‘

what the most important provisions of the
treaty of peace would be. But we knew and
our soldiers knew that the end of the war
would bring a treaty of peace. We knew and
our soldiers knew that . the end Of- the war
would bring about some plan for the affilia-
tion of nations if for no other purpose than

' that there should never again be a war.- We

didn’t tell our' soldiers that " this plan

"would find expression in an agreement along

the lines of the League of Nations covenant.
We didn't because we couldn’t. The facts,
Were not! known to us then.:*- But we venture

this assertion: That had all; the signatories to .

this covenant anticipated the end of the strug-
gle as it actually occurred and signed such a
concrete proposal .for minimizing the chances
of "Warfareubefore we entered. the struggle, we
shOuld ‘ have had greater enthusiasm! for the
conflict. ' - - ‘

pointment. “That’s government ownership
for you,” he hissed; ' , ‘ ~ , - . '
The, freight and passenger tariffs Were in-
creased to 'paythe increase in cost of construe;
tion materials and, operation; “Government
'oWnership,” muttered our friend. _' "
The news apers announced that the railroad,
administlll‘zén was piling up a deficit Of- thirty
to fifty one a month. And that fact our.
friend likewise blames to government f‘Own-
ership.” ‘ . . ‘. ‘ '
Now in the first place the government does-
not OWN the railroads. It OPERATES them
with the help or perhaps we should say des-
pite the help of former managers and Operat—
ors. Government operation on a planapprov-
ed by congress which guarantees to the r'fail—
road a large net income on, watered stock, and
with the assistance (‘ i) of men who, are active—
ly working for the return of the roads to pri-
vate owners is an altogether diiferent thing
than government ownership and operation on
a plan which proposes to payua fair net income
on actual investment, and with the as§istance
'Of men Who have no interest in anything but

(the efficient operation of the busineSsT' Is that

plain? '

We feel free to predict that if the, Plumb
plan for the nationalization of the raiIrOads
fails, they will be returned to their owners. No
other plan has been advanced or probably. will
be advanced at this time for public ownership. '
New upon that happy day we expect to see our-
friend wear a happy smile. “No more late
trains, no more strikes, no more high'fares, no
more deficits.” But he will be due for a se-
vere jolt. s

The most common causes of late trains are
physmal over which even the versatile private
owner has no control. There a ways have been
late trains, and there always will be. Strikes
will be more frequent and serious; Indeed, we
cannot see how the private Owners - hbpeto
handle the railroad employes whose plan for
public ownership has just been rejected. :Ffires
will be higher; freight rates will be’ higher.
Even the private owners and their newspapers
admit this, and the paying public must ac-
eept it. The war and high wages increased the
cost of railroad Operation. There are some
who would like to lay the war to the railroad
administration. But it can’t be, 'done! The
war was to blame for the railroad administra-
tion, and the war was to blame for the big
jump 1n operating costs. The effects of the
war on cost of manufacturing and Operating
are no less than they were at the time the gov-
ernment took over the roads. So no matter
who .Operates the roads from now on, the cost
is gomg to be as great if not greater than ever
before. , . _

- Municipal Warehouses for Detroit

T IS with something of a shock that we read

of Mayor Couzens’ proposal to construct
municipal warehouses in the city of Detroit.

BolsheviSm‘i Is it possible the Mayor is obli-
vious of the fact that our wise old owl Of a
legislature not so very long ago said the peo-
ple of Michigan musn’t vote on state—owned
warehouses because the Non-Partisan League ‘
and the Socialists and the Bolsheviks believed
in them? Surely, good Mayor, you cannot L

of Detroit. There ’s something wrong; there ’s

I agree with—neighbor Long that

However he has overlooked one
phase of the situation. The factory
owners, mill and elevator owners
and merchants who comprise only
about nine per cent. of all the people
get eighty-three per cent. of all the
wealth produced. The w'orkers
comprise ninety-one per cent. of the
population and receive in wages on-
ly seventeen "per cent. of all the
‘wealth they produce. Therefore
they can buy "back only seventeen
per cent. of all the goods made in
America, and as the factory owners

(capitalists) are so ‘ comparatively

few'in number, they can not possibly
use anflvhere' near- all of the bal-
ance, no matter how lavishly they
spend, they must find a foreign
market fqr same and the workers

out the very things that they them—
selves made. -

to what the contractors, merchant
and factory owner gets.

This is proven by thegkinds ‘of
houses they live in and automobiles,
etc., they use and what they eat and
wear and the amount of time each
class has for recreation.

The worker works without liv-
ing, and the capitalist lives without
working. ' .

In this modern day and age when
we have so much machinery that
does things so much faster than they
were formerly done by hand, we all

not shorten our working hours We
merely produce more than our own
nation can use and then the capi-
talists will sell it in foreign lands
and with the gold they receive in

At the present time statistics

probate courts of the U. S. reveal

speculators have to say about lower
prices, the crop estimates place the
total bean production f‘for the year

< far below that of last year. More-

bier, if the Senate ever gets tired of
playing pOIitics and signs the Treaty
of Péace so that normal business re-

   

The; coming crops lations may be resumed with foreign

nations, there/1‘s sure to be a greater
demand tharr’ ever for this greatest
of American food products. We
warn our readers against accepting
.V. the stories of the speculators. and
urge them to do a little thinking for
themselves.

APPLES

There is no telling where the price I

of apples may go before spring. dust.
as no one would have dared to pre-
dict a year ago that prices would
reach as high as $12 a barrel which
they did last winter, no one new
ventures to set a limit on the price.
The crop is short; the demand is
good; and right now the prices are
the highest ever known at the open—
ing of the seas-on. Michigan Jona-
thans are selling readily to the job-
bing trade at «$3 per bushel, and
Wealthys, orchard run, at $3.50.
“Oh. why didn’t I take care of my
apple orchard,” is the wail of the
farmer on every side. '.

PEACHES
Daily shipments of peaches are
above 200 cars, with a fairly good
demand.

RYE‘ AND BARLEY

Although the slump in other grains
affected rye and barley in the disas-
ters of last week on the markets, rye
declined less than some of-its cous-
ins. The rye and barley crops are
smallthis year, and later on a good
price is hoped for, if conditions get
settled and more optimistic.

The estimated yield of rye in Mich-
igan is 16 bushels per acre and a
total of 9 136, 000 bushels is looked
for which is over 2, 000, 000 bushels
better than last year. Cash No. 2
is quoted Detroit as quiet with the
price around $1.40. "

Barley has suffered much from the
hot dry summer in this state, and
its production has dropped off over
3,000,000 bushels from last year. The
estimated output of barley in Michi-
gan this year. is 5,124,000 bushels, or
an average acreage output of 18.3.
In the Detroit market it is quoted at
82.40‘@$2.50 peerwt. for cash No. 3.

The tame hay yield is estimated
at 1.2 tons per acre making a total
crop of about 3,000,000 tons as com-
pared with 300,000 tons less next
year. Wild hay approximates 1.25

'tons per acre and a total crop esti—

mate of 51,00. (Michigan report.)

crop fast, Some. of the new crop has
been threshed and marketed. Too dry
for plowing and sowing wi-nter wheat.

No pasture cattle and other Stock has to
be fed now. which will perhaps mean a
shortage of feed this winter. Late sugar
beets will be a short crop on account of,
the dry weather. ‘ Apples and other fruit
are scarce. A few hogs sold—A. G.

MONTACLM (S. E.)——A light rain was
received in this vicinity Wednesday and
will be of much'advantage to the sowing
of wheat and rye as a medium acreage 'is
going to be sowed. The cutting of corn‘
continues this week which is getting very
ripe, the majorityof the corn being cut.-
Corn which was planted early is getting
very dry for the filling of silos and-most
of the silos are being filled now. A large

fend it with all they possess For
most of these results, a' large share

of the eledit is due to Mile J. Slagg;

:he principal of the school, wh0se ef-
ficiency' and untiring work won for
him the confidence and co- ope1at1 111
of the enti1e communitiy.

“The law governing consolidated

11ira1 ag1icultu1al scholols is now 111' ' '

full force and what has been done in
a remote settlement of Houghton
county can be accomplished with
even better results in the more de-
veloped communities of the state.
The law provides for the consolida-
tion of three or more rural schools
after the question has been submitted
to the qualified voters of the school
districts. It describes the qualifica-
tions or the teache1s and the spemfio
cations for the building and Equip-
ment- and it provides for the trans-
pmtation of pupils, each scholol being
entitled to receive from the state tWO
hundred dollars a year for each ve-
hicle used. These schools are divid-
ed into two grades and are entitled

:‘to an additional .state rewaid whiCh

amounts to $600 a year for Class A
school, and $900 a year for class B
schclols.

“Those who are inteiested in the
establishment of rural agricultural
freely consult with or
write to .John A. Doelle at Marquette
(Michigan), for while he is' now c11-

gaged in educational work of a dif!

ferent character he is just as intense-
1y interested in the prog1essive de-
velopment of rural education Rais-
ed on a farm wheie the eight 110m
law applied from sunrise until dark,
he knows .the‘ hardships of the aver-
age country hey and girl and the
shortcomings of the common llIll‘al
school. He has applied the best yea1's
of. his life, in constructive efforts to-
wards raising the standard of r11al
education and of rural life, helping

that the state as well as his commuuw

itl' may profit by it. His work finds
expression in the lives of the people
of the Otter Lake diStrict, for his
