POTATO is PARENT
OF DAHLIA PLANT

BY curious horticultural irony the
dahIia, which is the popular plant at ali
our early autumn flower shows, has a
very prosaic parentage, says the Dundee
Advertiser. 1t has been developed from
the Mexican tubers introduced about
100 years ago by the Swedish naturalist
Doctor Dahl for the purely commercial
purpose of supplementing the potato.

later. There was a large bruise on the
left side of the head. She was appar-
emil thrown on the right side of her
head in falling and death was caused
by fracture at the base of the brain.
That was the direct cause of death.

by the weight of the car but by the
impact. The weight would not have
killed her so uuickly.',

of the spot where the accident han

OF the road. The eulvert, he saws. does
not exceed fourteen feet in width and
probably is but twelve feet. The road
IS much wider and converges into the
bridge over the culvert. There are
walls along the sides of this bridge.

proaehes and the embankments are all
solutely unprotected. On the other

directly in the faces of all those dr,v.

BETTER GO SLOW ON TONNAGE
TAX

Certain citizens are proposing thar
the state should require the collection
Of a tonnage tax on all ore mined in
Michigan. the rich mines Of the upper
peninsula being the particular object
aimed at. II is their theory that At
present non residents Of the state are
enjoying the greatest benefits from
the vast riches being taken out of
Michigan, and that the state is entitled
To a greater percentage OF the profits
than is being secured at present. Last
winter there was a bill before the leg
islature providing for such a tax, but
the upper peninsula delegation sue
ccssfully prevented its consideration.
Now the plan is to make the tonnage
AK an issue in the state campaign
next year.
Those who arc contending for n
tonnage tax on ores do not discuss
one phase of the situation. and that Is
the fact that Michigan has spent n
huge sum Of money in the last fifteen
years TO establish an al valorem sys-
tenn Of taxation. and that it has re-
quircd all this time and money to com
plete tho enactment Of laws fortifying

and cffcctually establishing the sys-
tom. comments the Lansing Republi-
cen. only last winter was the state
able to secure legislation bringing the
last of the corporations under the al
valorcm law, when the telegraph and
telephones companies were hnai'y
forced 10 como out from undcr their
specific tax law and pay taxes on the
same basis as other corporations. In
view OF this il seems unwise to start
ut this time TO break up the system
Just established at so much cost II
Is undoubtedly lacking in features
which mako Il perfect taxation sys-
tenn, but NJ to dato there is no known
system which is not the subject Of
frequent cxperta agree as TO what IS
the best system.
Michigan has been able, under tho
present system TO collect hundreds az
thousands Of dollars more i'm taxes
Than ever before. and the law provides
a way for Investigation as to whether
each piece of property is bearing its
full share OF the burden.

A PUBLIC SERVICE.

Two citizens of this county have now in their pow
er to perform rare service to the whole community.
These citizens Messrs F. H. Harris of Spicer and
Henry Stene of Atwater.
These gentlemen planning to plat the east shore
of Green Lake, along the historic beach of the Irving
townsite and sell lots for summer dweers on the lake.
At his own expense Mr.. Stene is now having road
constructed from Harrison township to the lake in or
der to shorten the distance to the lake from Atwaer
The beauty of Green Lake to the visitor and enjoy
ent of the lake by the public has been arred by every
plating of lake lots far made at Green Lake This
by of placing the public road outside the lots in
stead of the lake shore AS result those driving
around the lake alike shut off from the lake and
front view of the homes. Instead of enjoying the
view of the beautiful lake side and beautiful
front yards the Other the public may now occasionally
get view of the lake from behind barns and out houses
Whenever new plat has been made the influence of
the people owning the old beaches thrown have the
new addition laid out in the same absurd fashion,
The Irving beach is of the most beautiful on the
lake. If the propretors will the order and make
the public driveway the lake shore they will only
make their additions great success but will by their
example change of sentiment that may lead to
an improvement other places along the lake Shore
These gentlemen therefore have it in their power to
earn the everlasting gratitude Of the community the
laying out of their additions
