CLAIMS MORE SIMPLE SYSTEM
First Day of Every Year, Month and week to Ba
MOnday-Extra Day for World Holiday

Baron Won Herse- Martegg has
intimated that he will bring forward at
the London International Congress of
Chambers of Commerce i'll June a
proposal for which he claims to have
secured the support of the chambers of
commerce of Austro- Hungary and of
Holland and Belgium and for which he
hopes to secure the approval of the
German chambers before the meeting of
the congress. 1t is to reform the calen.
dar.
He proposes to have a year of thirteen
months each of four weeks. The week
is to consist as at present of seven DAYS,
and the month will be one of twenty
eight days and the year will consist of
364 days, AS there is one day of the
300 uncounted for he proposes that that
one day be between the last day of the
year and the first of the succeeding year
should be observed as a great world
holiday and treated as day outside the
calendar.
According to his system the first day
of the year the first day of every month
and the first day of every week would
be Monday. This would simplify the
calendar There should of course be
two international holidays every leap
year, for which his proposal has made no
provision. Baron Won Herse-Mereepp
would also have the movable feasts on
fixed dates and he selects the 7th of
April for Easter the nearest Sunday to
the traditional date of the resurrection.

Revised Schedule Went Into Effect

A THROUGH TRAIN TO CHICAGO
The Better Service Was Inaugurated Rather
InauspCiOuSly Last Monday

Nearly fifteen minutes late, the first
through train east on the Pere Marquette
pulled into the Alma station, stopped
Just long enough to throw of a milk
can and trunk or two and let of one
or two passengers, take on couple and
steam off again. A couple hours before
the first through train bound west had
come and gone attracting just as little
attention. However, both trains were
fairly we'll filled considering the fact
that this is their first run, and that the
raveling public has not yet become
aware of the change so as to take
advantage of it.
The new trains are drawn by the
larger of the Pere Marquette's passenger
engines, and consists of baggage car,
smoker, day coach, and butfett-parlor
car. The crews are made up mostly OF
men promoted from the former runs
between Saginaw and Grand Rapids,
The new trains will carry no express or
open mail but will carry pouches. No
mail clerk of course will be required.
The train going west is known as
number 33, or the Western Limited.
and leaves Bay City at ll:1O, Alma at
1:A2, arriving in Grand Rapids at 4;2O
and in Chicago at 1000 i'll time for all
western connections, The east bound Is
number "a or the Michigan Limited and
leaves Chicago at 500 in the morning.
Grand Rapids at 1880, arriving in Alma
at 4;O5, and Bay City at 6;20 But eight
stops are made after leaving Saginaw
until reaching Grand Rapids. These
are ST. Louis, Alma, Edmore, Stanton,
Greenville, Belding, Lowell and Elm
dale Both east and west bound arrive
in Greenville about the same time,
passing each other there, instead OF at
Edmore as has been the case with the
other trains,
On account of the new trains import
ant changes have been made in the
running times of the local trains. The
trains east are now at 1910 i'll the
morning and $40 at night; those west
are $50 in the morning at 7:17 at night.
The new trains give excellent connec-
tions with Mt. Pleasant in the afternoon
both coming and going. The connec-
tions also at both Saginaw and Grand
Rapids are now much better than
formerly, all of which will doubtless
make the recent additions by far the
most popular of the daily trains. There
will be no Sunday train as usual.

MILLION FOR SCHOOL
General Fund in State Treasury
Again Flush

1t is estimated that on May 10 the
treasurer will pay out about SO, $50, 900
i'll primary school money, and there is
possibility that the figures may be
over that amount. AT present there is
only S9o7 900 in the primary fund, but
according to state officials this amount
will reach $1,000, 900 by May 10.
A majority of the heavy taxpayers,
including the railroad, telegraph and
telephone companies, will be coming
through with the cash before that date.
There is total approximately of 757.-
600 school children in the state who will
share in the apportionment.
Deputy State Treasurer John Haarer
announces that Michigan is again in the
millionaire class, as the total amount of
cash on hand in the general fnnd last
week reached S1.151, l60.4O. This
amount will last but short time after
the expenses of the state, which figure
between 100000 and 5000, 600 per
month, have been paid There is. how
ever, some consolation in the fact that
there is yet million and half of tax
money to be paid into the treasury.
Auditor General Fuller received s245,-
1906 from the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railroad company and s421.74 from
the Consolidated Rolling stock company
of Bridgeport, Conn. These are among
the first railroad companies to pay their
taxes this year.
The Consolidated Rolling Stock COM
pany is a car.loading concern and paid
its taxes under protest, claiming that
the amount it paid represents 80 per
cent of the net earning of that corpora
ton for the past year.

Jews REMEMBER Day
PassOter Celebration One Of the

At sundown Saturday evening
began the Jewish Passover celebration,
the greatest celebration on the calendar
of the Jewish religious year. 1t will con-
tinue several days.
The Passover festival commentaries
the deliverance of the Israelites from
Egyptian bondage. The Passover is also
a sort of spring festival, celebrating the
revival i'll life in nature and the transition
from the winter into brighter world,
April 23, at sundown, marks the full
moon of the first month, "Nisam," of
the first evening of this festival the
"Seder service is observed in the
homes. The evening is spent i'll reading
psalms and prayers appropriate to the
occasion. In the orthodox homes this
service is oftimes extended to the next
evening. The Passover festival celebra-
tion is sometimes called the FESTIVAL of
unleavened bread" because the Israelites
left i'll great hurry and were unable to
wait until the bread had become leav-
ened. Orthodox Jews remove every
leaden thing from their homes prior to
the celebration and all the houses re-
ceive thorough overhauling.

BRA|NLESS BURGLAR
Degenerate LOOtS Store at Middleton

The Middleton Record of last week in
speaking of the recent burglares in that
village said:
"Alvah Blair opened his jewelry store
Saturday morning to find that it had
been entered during the night and that
several watch chains and fountain pen
had been taken. The burglar had got
ten III by forcing The back door
Deputy Sheriff Willert was notified
and he began an investigation at once
While the deputy was busy with this
Sheriff Convis appeared in town on his
way home from search for Richard
Dixson, who was wanted for burglary
committed three weeks ago at Sumner
The description tailed with that of a
man seen in Middleton, Friday evening,
who had asked questions about where
Mr. Blair slept and had been seen look
ing i'll the jewelry store window Boys
found along the road leading north
pieces of cardboard on which the stolen
chains were mounted, and the trail was
taken up and followed to Dickson's s
home northwest Of Carson City. Sheriff
Convis had been at the Dickson place
earlier in the day but of course the
young man wanted had not vet returned
from his Middleton expedition. This
time, however, he was found asleep,
after long search, in a hay NOW up
next to the roof of the barn. When the
officers accosted him he quickly con-
cealed gun in the hay. After much
questioning to which Dickson replied in
a surly manner, the latter was arrested
and taken to Ithaca. The gun proved
to be one stolen a week or so ago at the
hotel i'll Butternut. The chains were
found in the house.
The Grand Trunk depot was also
entered during the night by the same
man but noihing was taken.
Dickson has confessed to all the
charges made against him, those of
stealing the revolver and of lifting the
jewelry at Middleton. He will be
brought into court and sentenced prob
ably Saturday.
Dickson appears to be simply a de-
generate. He dosen't have the brains
for a successful burglar. When he
broke into Blair's store he left untouch-
ed small articles of much greater value
than those he took. He is surly. impud.
ent, indifferent TO his fate and inordinate-
ly lazy, saying frankly. Il won't work,
I'll steal first" The jail authorities
say he is the worst prisoner they have
had during the present administration. -

work on account of its practical bearing
on reducing waste of wood, to them a
subject of vital concern. Already they

FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY.

An event of Importance to the wood
using industries of the county and to
engineers is the completion of the Forest
Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis.
June 4 has been set as the date for the
formal opening. The laboratory has
been established to aid, through experi
ments and demonstrations, the lessening
of waste in the manufacture and use of
wood. 1t is cooperative undertaking
between the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture and University of Wisconsin.
The State has erected for the purpose
new building at the university and will
furnish also the light, heat and power
The Department of Agriculture has sup
piled the equipment and apparatus and
will maintain the force of thirty-five or
forty person required to carry on the
work. Through this arrangement the
United States has secured the largest
and best equipped wood testing laboratory
in the world.
A number of vacancies in engineering
positions in connection with the work
will be filled in May and June. Among
these are positions of engineer in wood
preservation, eng.neer in timber testing
and chemical engineering. These posi-
tions will be given to men with basis
of thorough engineering training, or two
or three years experience Ia practical
work.
Tue labortory will be prepared to make
teIts on the strength ano other proper
ties of wood. to investigate the processes
of treating timber to prevent destruction
by decay and other causes, to study the
savings of wood refuse by distillation
processes, to examine the fiber Of various
woods for paper and other purposes, and
to determine the influence Of the mcrot'
