A number of the cities of the state are
waging vigorous war against transient deal
ers who seem to be unusually numerous
this year. Saginaw has changed its ordi-
nance, making the license $50 day.

along this line. The license should be fixed
so high that it will drive out the class of
itinerants who have infested the city lately.
The Baptist Sunday school gives an ex-
cursion and basket picnic to Long Lake,
Fenton, week from today to which all
the other schools of the city are cordially

that all may 60 and have an enjoyable time.
The rates are very low, $1.OO for adults and
40 cents for children between and 10
years of age, children under 5 free. This
includes railroad, street car and boat fare
and return which makes it the cheapest of
the season.

tor generals team and the crack nine of
