In China, however a cent represents
too large a sum, not to be further SUBJ

latter will be almost twice as valuable
as the present cash OF China, the
familiar brass coin with a square hole

We presume the Chinese. with their
adherence to old traditions and old
customs. will not willingly surrender
their coinage system. but an imperial
edict will be respected. and before long
they will accustom themselves to the
decimal system and count their money
in dollars, cents, and cash This
should facilitate trade with the United

be arrived at.

The League emphasizes this report II
says, in part

az found by him necessarily. that the
continuance ~ agricultural develop

Chinese being procurable; and not
alone in California Is this the case
for In Washington It was recently re-
ported that 10000 laborers were neol-
ed. and other localities are calling Tor

Possibly the rapid development of Chi

Farmers Institutes are passing
mournful resolutions over the fact
that mot since the rebellion do we
find agriculture conducted by so many
old men, women and children as i'm the
present times They think that the
condition Is mainly due to increase in
farm taxes and determinations favor
ms great corporations, driving young
men from the farms. These things
may have something to do with Il.
though certain il is that young men
Of the farm never escape high taxes
or corporation oppression by migrat
ing 10 the city. But doesn't the real
cause lie in the early training or er-
roneous training Of the children Of
the farm?
ON the farm the young man can
have good food, an essential to good
health, good clothes. remunerativc
work independence and a mighty sight
better society than he Is likely 90
strike elsewhere. Ninety-five out of a
hundred farmer boys find i'm the city
impure air, disease of some sort. wages
that cost Of city living reduces to less
than they could demand on the farm
bossism more or less brutal, and most
| inferior social surroundings. Still. they
give up the manhood building life of
the farm and flock 20 the excitement
and possible luxurics OF the city. They
are not taught the difference between
the substantials of life and the luxur-
les. Their ambition. If cultivated Al
all, is not directed toward the rea

In their farm home life they ar
not shown that city business lic,
means the struggle Of superlativc self
ishness and merciless greed; that $50
cial position" often merely means
Thaws, Of higher or lower degree; thu
high position of any sort only means
drain ON vital resources, slavery to ir-
rcmodiable conditions and premature ole
age. The youth OF the farm are no
taught concerning the substantial

The question OF adopting the county

which is equivalent to the question
whether the people of the coun-
ty want better and more permanent
highways. will be submitted 10 the
electors throughout the county next
Monday, April 4. There are a number
of matters To be voted on at the COM
ing election. but none more important
than that of the county road system
The voters of Houghton county should
vote yes" on this question. They
should vote yes" for good many rea-
sons, but the most convincing of all
is that the adoption of the system in
this region will mean better roads, uni
form and permanent highways, which,
i'm the long run, will prove cheaper
and more satisfactory TO everybody
concerned Wherever the county road
system is i'm use i'm Michigan will be
found the best highways. for the sys-
TEN is success in all counties i'm
which it has been adopted. Good roads
are sign of the times and Houghton
county is too progressive not To have
the very best highways possible. and in
this district il is possible TO make the
best because we have the finest ma
terial in the world for such purposes.
