the election of councilmen at large,

The vote Is also close on the
amendment removing the limit of
park bonds that may be issued in
one year, and the vote on the
$1,000,000 issue of park bonds
seems to indicate the defeat of the
proposition. In 30 precincts the
park bond issue received 1892 votes

of the bond issue is in doubt.
The 100000 issue of bridge
bonds and the 100000 issue of

ADVERTISING WESTERN
MICHIGAN.

Significance attaches to the recent
presence of the Stanislaus county
cars in Western Michigan. The cars
are sent out by the county of Stan
islaus, California, for advertising
purpose pure and simple and their
presence here was full of suggestion
to our people because just now they
are so much interested in works OF
similar sort.
A representative from the cara
stated that the first cost of the two
cars was $4,000, that it cost $50 a
day to operate them, that they had
been out a little more than two years
and that the time OF their return was
uncertain. Eight men accompany the
Cars to distribute advertising matter
and to herald the virtues and glories
of Stanislaus county.
Here is the situation in a nutshell
Stanislaus county is spending 7,00G
year. more than $4,000 in all. Fol
what? Advertising. Nor is the case
OF Stanislaus county exceptional,
Other counties have done the same
Under such circumstances Is it any
wonder that California has achieved
great reputation. And other west.
ern states than California owe their
name and fame largely to the same
kind OF effort Tens of thousands OF
dollars are spent annually to tell the
advantages of Hood River, the va
kima, the Pecos and other western
"paradises."
The tendency in Western Michigan
Is to emulate these progressive re.
gions of the west. There is grow.
ing appreciation that we have as
many, even more, advantages, talk.
ing points," than these much lauded
and so widely heralded 'Edens." In
soil productiveness We stand well, In
nearness of market we are pre-.
eminent, even in climate we compare
not unfavorably. And 1t is unques.
toned that in percentage of profit
upon investment no western region is
our superior.
The vital question is when shat.
We begin our compaign?
The Western Michigan Development;
Bureau stands ready to push the good
work, but it lacks the funds. The
boards of supervisors in this and the
twelve other counties covered by the
Bureau could hardly do a better thing
than appropriate money at their APP
