PAPAL DECREE RECENTLY Is
SUED MERELY HAS TO DO

Father Branchcau, rector of st.

OF France by Pope Plus y instruct
ing them not 10 become members OF
the French Catholic society called the
."Sinon." cannot be construed to have
any bearing on the Knights of Col

i'm the letter states that the attitude
of ecclesastics is TO encourage ana

The letter gave rise to a great deal

MAY RAISE PAY
OF OFFICIALS
IMPORTANT MEETING OF cAlu'
MET TOWNSHIP BOARD
WILL BE HELD ON JAN
UARY 18TH.

on January ~ the Calumet town
ship board will hold special meeting.
1t will be a very important one owing
TO the fact that questions are 10 De
taken up that will effect the salaries
of the clerk, assistant-clerk and town
ship treasurer.
1t is claimed by the members OF the
board, at least the majority OF them'
that the clerk and assistant-clerk are
not receiving enough compensation
for the amount OF work they are call
ed upon daily to perform.
The question of raising the treasur-
er's fees from a paid salary at present
of $500 per annum, to tax collec-
ton fee of one per cent, Is also to be
taken up and some action likely taken.
Previous to the year 1905, the treas
urers OF Calumet township received
one per cent on all tax collections
which averaged a salary yearly OF
about $4,000. In 1905 a special act
was passed by the state legislature
authosigin the township board OF Cal
umet to pay the treasurer an annual
salary of $500 per year. made up or
$50 per month. and the balance OF
$1,000 at the end OF the tax collec-
tions each year. If a return is to be
made to the one per cent basis the
special act fixing the salary at $1,000,
will have to be repealed.
Some of the members of the board
are inclined To the belief that $1,000
per year is not enough, inasmuch as
he is put to great deal of inconven-
fence and bother in securing the col
ossal sum of 100000 in bonds, and has
to pay an assistant.
Provided the board has the power to
take action in the matter it is prob
able that at the special meeting on
January ~, action will be taken rails
ing both the clerks and assistant
clerks salaries. and a resolution passed
calling upon Representative ELECT An
thony Lucas to introduce a bill in the
house whereby the treasurer may be
empowered to reimburse himself at the
rate of one per cent.

BACK TO THE FARM.

one likely effect of the present agi-
tation over the increasing cost of liV-
ing will be a well defined back-to-the-
farm movement. If, indeed, this move
ment has not already begun. This talk
about the high price of foodstuffs, es-
pecially of staple farm products. Is
certain To give impetus to the back
to- the farm idea.
Until recent years, farm life was
considered the worst sort of drudgery
and the prospect of hard work from
dawn To darkness drove the great pro-
portion Of farmers sons to the urban
communities. Low prices for farm
products also initiated against more
extensive cultivation of farmlands, and
the great development of the far west
caused many eastern farms, particu-
larly in New England. TO be deserted
because they could not be profitably
cultivated.
Slowly. conditions have changed.
The invention of labor saving farm
machinery has relieved the farmer of
much of the drudgery. 1t has enabled
him to cultivate twice and three times
as much land as he could Under the
old methods. An ever increasing de-
mand for cereals vegetables and fruits
has naturally advanced prices and put
profit into the farmers pocket, where
as often times in previous years he
simply went farther and farther into
debt.
In addition to these things. the ru-
raj mail service, the telephone, the
electric railway and the automobile
have served TO make life i'm the coun-
try more attractive A rural mail SER
vice keeps the farmer in daily touch
with the whole world. A telephone
connection eliminates distance between
neighbors and between country and
town as we'll The electric railway
provides new facilities for the ship
ment of his products to one or more
markets.
Farming is more a scientific pur-
suit than II was 10, 10, and 90 years
ago. Consequently, an application of
intelligence to the work has demon
strated that farming pays and at the
same time II is one of the most inde-
pendent ways of earning a livelihood.
In the old days. every farm yard
had a croquet ground and here and
there great vacant uncultivated
spaces Now, many farmsteads have
tennis courts and every square foot
, Of soil is utilized. even If only for
the raising OF flowers.
= For a practical back to-the farm
movement il is necessary 10 show the
profits of farming. Not many men
could be induced TO till the soil by
reason Of personal preference for the
country. In fact, IL is doubtful If the
assurances Of better living conditions
\ in the country would be an induce
ment to any great number What is
most needed is conclusive evidence
that farming can be made to yield sub
stantial profits.
This is being shown in n general
way in the discussion OF the problem
of the cost Of living. Men are inn
pressed with the growing values OF
/ farm products. by and by they
will begin to figure the profits Of farm
inc and In this way be led to go L.
