Making" in which she told her audi
ence how to make and bake bread In
four hours without soiling the hands or
bread board, although both are used.
The secret OF making good bread lies in
using spring wheat flour, and the why
is because il is more healthful. IL Is
claimed that two slices OF bread made
from spring wheat flour contain more
nourishment than four OF winter wheat
made bread. It contains more tissue
building material, more nerve and brain
food. Ii is also claimed that 60 more
loaves of bread can be obtained from a
barrel Of spring wheat flour than from
a barrel of winter wheat -four. so that
as matter Of economy IL Is better.

When the delegates from the Alma fire

To ILLUSTRATE how little some people
consider the difference in doing thing
one way and then another we mention
a little instance that was brought to our
mind one day this week. A gentleman
who had beets to deliver to the Alma
Sugar 90. and also to the Saginaw Sug.
ar 90. stated that there was considera.
bly, less tare on the beets sent to Saginaw
than those delivered to the home com.
pany. Naturally he thought it was the
fault Of the home company. When he
had it explained TO him that in unload
ing the beets from the wagon to the cal
a large amount Of dirt would naturally
be removed from them and that the
shaking OF the car in transporting them
30 Saginaw would sift out a consider
able more, he could readily see tina,
there would be less tare-but he had
not thought Of IL before.

Saturday afternoon the first on the pro-
gram was the Question Box, in charge
of lothian Allen, which was followed
by an address on "The Good Roads Prob
lem" by Hon Ii S. Earle. Of Detroit
This address undoubtedly interested the
people in attendance TO greater extent
than any other topic on the program.
Good roads are what are needed In Ora
tiot at the present time and the people
are beginning to waken TO the fact. Mr. q.
Earle advocates good roads for the sake
OF economy the same as he would advo-
cate the buying of binder for harvest.
ing purposes on the farm. In his opn-
ion there should be a state highway COM
mission, composed Of three practical
road builders, one from the upper PENN
sula and two from the lower, these COM
missioners to outline the plans and have
supervision over the township highway
commissioners in building nothing but
gravel or stone roads. Mr. Earle is prob
ably more familiar with this subject of
good roads than any other man in Mich
igan, for the reason that he has made a
thorough study of the problem in all its
phases. AS a speaker he is energetic,
forceful and above all fluent talker a
man that impresses you that he means
,Iat Ea NJ ar1a fo1 Il
by T. A. Ely who said that it was gen.
orally conceded that better roads must
be had and that some centraliz sd system
must be used. The principal feature in
building dirt roads was right drainage.
+. Il. Hathaway thought there were few
questions that could be brought before
an organization Of this kind that was
of more vital Importance, and that local
ly speaking, he thought that every road
leading into Alma should be built of
either gravel or stone Geo. Abbott
also discusse the subject in few brief
words and then Rep. Holmes was called
upon and said, that for many years he
had thought the old system of making
and keeping roads was all wrong. Only
under some one system, carried out sys-
tematically, can we have better roads.
Mr. Holmes also said that he was in
favor of the plan as outlined by Mr..
Earle and should vote for the bill that
will come before the legislature this
winter to create a highway commission
and provide a direct tax for building
roads, unless he receives a vigorous pro-
test from the people urging him to OPP
pose it. and then he would remain 81
lent against his will.
At the close of Rep. Holmes remarks
it was moved and supported that it was
the sense of the members of the Gratiot
County Institute society that the plan of
lettering our present road system as out.
lined by Mr. Earle, be endorsed. This
resolution was unanimously carried.
