Repair Your w slks.

Mrs. James Lampson, while return
ing to her home Wednesday evening
from the entertainment given by A. C.
Schott, stepped in hole in the sidewalk,
one Of the planks having been removed,
badly injuring her right leg from the
knee down. Mrs, Lampeon was very
fortunate in not having broken herleg.
1t is time the village officers enforced
an ordinance making it compulsory for
property owners to keep their sidewalk 9
in repair or make them lay cement walks,
as is done In all towns.
We understand this walk should have
been repaired, Is the owner gave in
structions to one Of the village Office
holders to repair II and send him the
bill. Why was It not done?

Take Care, Boys.

The new cigarette law is in effect
and patrons of the mail" especially
those under age. should take care.
We notice that dealers are living up
to their part of the law, but we also
notice that number of tie young boys
still smoke their cigarettes in public
places.
As we understand it, it is misde-
meanor for minors to smoke cigarettes,
especially in public places, and If any
one makes "a complaint, it is the Jail
for the offenders.
We want to caution some of our lit
tie smokers by telling them number
of citizens in town have an eye on
the law, and If cigarettes in the hands
of young ones are not kept out Of sight,
some one is going to suffer. So take
care. M

Laws for
School Children.
According to the Law. They Must At
tend school at All Times.

A pamphlet has been issued by the
department of public instruction con-
tanning the present law in regard to
compulsory education and instructions
to the school authorities in regard to
enforcing the law. The present law
is very strict and school officers are ex-
pected to see to it that the law is fully
enforced. The most important pro-
visions are as follows:
Sec. l. Every parent, guardian or
other persons having control of any
child between the ages of seven and six
teen years, shall be required to send
such child to the public schools during
the entire school year, and such attend
ance shall be continuous and consecu-
tive for the school year. The follow
ing are excused from attendance:
a. Any child who is being taught in
a parochial school.
b. Any child who has received an
eighth grade diploma.
c. Any child who is physically unable
to attend school.
d. Children over fourteen whose serv-
ices are essential to the support OF
their parents may be excused by the
superintendent on the recommendation
of the board of education.
1t will be seen by this time that no
pupil under fourteen can be excused
for any reason and children between
fourteen and sixteen can be excused by
t1e board only on proof that their ser
vices are essential to the support of
sneir parents. The law also provides
that attendance must be continuous and
any parent who keeps child out one
or two days week is liable to arrest,
the same as if the child were kept out
all the time.
In case of failure or refusal Of par
ent to keep child in school the law re-
quires the school authorities to cause
the parents to be arrested and either
fined or imprisoned. This clause of the
law reads as follows:
Sec. 8. d. In case any parent or
other person or parental relation shall
fail to comply with the provisions of
this act he shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor and shall on conviction
thereof be fined not less than FIVE or
more than fifty dollars, or imprison-
ment in the county Jail for not less than
two nor more than ninety days; or both
such fine or imprisonment in the discre-
ton of the court.
This law was recently changed to
read land shall be fined'' thus taking
away from the court the privilege of
letting the person convicted off on
suspended sentence. As the law now
stands the court has no alternative
but must inflict either fine or jail SEN
tence. The law is also strict in its de-
mand upon the school authorities for
the enforcement of the provisions of
the act.
Another law that bears directly upon
this is the recent child labor law which
prohibits the employment Of children
under fourteen and lays certain restric-
tions on the employment of those under
sixteen.

How Local Prohibition Affects
the Farmers.

A comparison OF the taxes and expenses
of Osceola county, which voted for
local option in April 1908, and Mecosta
county, which voted against local option
in April 1908, follows. 1t will be noted
that Mecosta county has considerably
larger population and contains the large
city of Big Rapids.

AS to the efficiency of option prohi-
bition the following from the Aug. l9,
1909, jackson. Mich, Patriot, a paper
which has been one of the strongest
advocates of prohibition, may be inter-
esting:
judging from the increase of sales
of liquor by the druggists during the
past week, as reported to the prosecut-
ing attorney, it must have been an un-
healthy period, as over hundred bottles
were filed for medicinal purposes more
than the week before, and at some of
the stores the clerks must have been
quite busy filling these prescriptions.
The number of sales recorded was 1,643.
while the week before the number was
1887, an increase of l06."
In Calhoun county similar condition
prevails, as witness the following ex
tract from the Battle Creek Enquirer
of Aug. IL:
"As a direct result of the closing of
q number of licit drinking resorts about
Calhoun county, there is a noticeable in
crease in the number Of liquor sales re-
ported for last week by the druggists
of the county to Prosecutor Cavanagh.
Usually the number of sales for week
average between 2,7000 and 5000 in the
entire county. This last week, accord
ing to reports made to the prosecutor,
there were 4,103 sales; in Battle Creek
alone there were 3,516 sales, which is
greater than any week in the entire
county previous to the campa ign against
liquor sales by alleged blind pigs. t"
The inability of steel workers to Sc
cure beer in Gary, Ind, the home Of
the immense steel plant, has driven
seven hundred workmen from that town
and yesterday, says the Chicago Tri-
bune of Aug. Is, zone hundred busi-
ness men Of Gary met to devise means
for the restoration Of regulated saloons.
Last Tuesday, the semi-monthly pay day,
more than $4,000 in Gary pay checks
were cashed in South Chicago, to the
obvious loss of Gary merchants"

MILLIONS CORDS
WOOD WERE USED
Great Supplies of Lumber Ex-
hausted fer the Manu-
facture of Pulp.
SPRUCE SUPPLY REDUCED
IN CONSEQUENCE OF THIS HEAVY
DEMAND THE PAST YEAR CAN.
ADA WAS CALLED UPON TO
Z LEND ASSISTANCE.

Washington, June 5.-Two hundred
States used 3.346.106 cords of wood.
and made 2.11S,947 tons Of pulp last
year. Spruce has always been the
leading pulp wood. and 1t furnished
sixty-four per cent of the total quan-
tity used. The rapid development Of
the wood-pulp industry In the last ten
years has rendered the domestic sup
ply of spruce insufficient to meet the
demands upon it. and consequently
imports from Canada have been
heavy. In 1908 our pulp mills con-
sumed nearly one and one-half mil
lion cords of domestic spruce. and ov-
er $4,000 cords of imported spruce.
making the imports of spruce forty.
five per cent. OF the domestic supply.
Aemlock Next to Spruce.
Next to spruce, the most important
pulp wood is hemlock; 569. .173. cords Of
1t were converted into pulp last year.
All the hemlock used was Of domestic
origin. and most OF 1t was produced in
the Lake States and Pennsylvania.
Although now used in less quantity
than spruce and hemlock, poplar has
long been a standard pulp wood. A
small quantity of poplar is imported.
but by far the larger portion OF the
more than 100000. cords used last
year was cut from domestic timber.
Spruce, hemlock and poplar made up
ninety per cent of the total quantity Of
pulp wood used. The remainder was
supplied by many species. the most Inn
portant of which were pine. cotton
wood, and baIsam.
The wood used by the pulp mills
last year cost them q little more than
$28. .000, 900, or an average Of $8.38 per
cord. against an average of 1871 in
1907. The most costly wood used was
imported spruce, with an average val
ne Of $10.60 per cord. The average
for domestic spruce was $S.76 per cord
and for poplar. $500 per cord
The Cheapest Mood.
The cheapest wood which was used
in large quantity was hemlock. the
cost being $6.03 per cord. Owing. to
the uncertain business conditions the
total consumption Of pulp wood in
1908 was nearly Is per cent less than
in 1907. but this did not prevent rcon-
siderable increase in the price Of
wood. The high price Of wood IL
making the manufacturers be con-
stantly on the lookout for cheaper
raw material, and one Of the most en-
couraging Developments has been the
increased use Of slab wood and other
