Scheme Appears to Be Smooth and
Evidently Successful in This state

Rep. Straight. OF Coldwater, has
discovered what certainly seems like
a rank discrimination against Michi-
gan in the matter of the retail price Of
school books Several days ago a
friend at Fremont. Ind, directly south
of Coldwater and only about a mile
over the state line. sent him a copy
of the Complete Geography, by
Alexis Everett Frye, formerly super
intendent of schools OF Cuba The
book is published by CHM & Co., Bos-
ton and London, and is marked Tn
diana edition"
The friend purchased the book at
a store in Fremont for 70 cents and
the bookseller said he was making 10
per cent on 1t.
Rep. Straight purchased an iden-
teal copy of the same geography at
a Lasing book store and was charged
1928 for IT, This Lansing purchased
copy is marked michigan and Wis
consin edition." The paper and the
binding of the two editions are exact
ly the same, the only difference being
that there are a few more maps in
the Michigan and Wisconsin edition"
and copy of the latter edition weighs
one ounce more than a copy OF the
Indiana edition"
At the department of education in
the state house it is stated that last
September about $4,000 Michigan boys
and girls bought copy Of geography
OF the grade that is sold in Indiana
for 75 cents and 1925 in Michigan.
This means that the 100000 Michigan
children paid $4,000 more for their
Biographies than $50, 200 Indiana chill
dren paid for the same kind of
geography.

Ash Wednesday Feb 24th, the first
day of Lent, was celebrated in St.
Mary's church in the customary manner.
Before mass the ashes of blessed palm
were blessed and placed on the heads
of the faithful in the form of a cross,
with the words, Remember, man, that
thou art dust. and into dust thou shalt
return" These words indicate the
reason for this ceremony The church
wishes in the very beginning of the
penftential season, TO recall to mind,
that man is but a humble creature aud,
moreover, sinful one. She wishes to
move him to humiliate himself and to
do penance for his sins. To this end,
she makes use of this practice, which
found favor with God, from the earliest
days, as we read in Jer. 1884; in Ps.
IoI, 10; and especially in Jonas. SIS, SIS,
where we read that the Ninevites avert
ed the just punishment of God by doing
penance in sack-cloth and ashes The
Christians of the earliest times followed
this practice. as often as they did
public penance for their sins.
