MAKE SCHOOL BOYS
FOREST RANGERS
WOULD HAVE COURSE OF IN
STRuCTlON IN THE PRE-
vENTlON OF FIRES.
PLANS OF GAME WARDEN
State Officer Declares Only Cam
paign Of Education Among Rs-
ing Generation Will Prove
Salvation of Settlers.

Lansing.-If the present plans of
State Game Warden Oates material
ize, course of instruction In the pre-
vention of forest fires will be placed
in the curriculum Of the district
schools in the counties of the north
ern part of the state, where fires have
been prevalent during the past few
years. Superintendent of Public In
struction l.. l.. Wright will be asked
to cooperate with Game Warden
Oates in working out the scheme and
it is hoped to get 1t started this fall.
Game Warden Oates would also
make the boys in the district schools
forest rangers. IL is his idea to have
each lad report every fire to the
teacher of the school he attends, with
the understanding that the teacher
notify the nearest supervisor, who
would bring the fire fighting forces Of
the county to the scene. For this
service he would present the boy a
souvenir medal of some sort.
From his recent experiences he de-
clares that only campaign Of educa-
ton among the rising generation will
prove the salvation of the settlers in
the fire district.

Druggists Do Not Favor New Law.


A recent communication sent out
by the state board of health rela-
tive to the provisions of a new
law which requires special serrated
disks upon all bottles containing
poisons is not meeting the approval
of local druggists. Some Lansing
pharmacists state that 1t Is just a
money making scheme, and that the
use of the shoppers will not prevent
accidents any more than have corks.
People will soon get into the habit
Of putting medicine that is not poison
Of corks," says one Lansing druggist.
Then when they hurriedly take medi-
cine some time, they will forget which
is the right bottle, and take the
poison. The law will not keep folks
from being careless"
According to the law a disk with a
serrated edge must be placed on each
cork, and when any one takes out the
cork in light or darkness the sense
Of touch will tell that the bottle con-
tains poison. 1t was thought by law
makers that in this way accidents re-
sulting from getting hold of the
wrong bottle will be averted.
What peeves the druggists in many
cities is that with each notice sent
out are sample disks containing the
advertisements of the maker and rec
ommending the adoption of certain
ones. The state pays the postage on
the advertisement, and it is figured
that the manufacturer is having a
considerable portion Of his expenses
borne by the general public. Then,
too, the druggists tell that they are
abundantly able to make their own
selections without being dictated to
by the state board. AS a general
thing the law is looked upon by drug
gists as a piece of nonsense.
One druggist claims that the franz
ers of the law arranged it so that
the state would stand the expense of
advertising a particular brand of bot
tie alarm and that druggists would
be forced to buy it,

Mines to Escape Big Tax Boost.

"iuCS ~ -oSGHS SiS az DSSSN'
From information that seems to be
reliable, the report of Professor Find
lay of New York will recommend to
the state tax commission that the
iron mines Of the upper peninsula be
assessed at nearly 400 per cent. more
than they are at the present time, or
approximately 100000, 900, instead of
$25 100000. Just what the state
board of equalization will do with
this report of course Is not known,
but it is believed they will not boost
the four iron-producing counties,
namely, Iron, Dickinson, Gogebic and
Marquette. 400 per cent. in valuation.
They will, however, according to
present information. boost the valua-
ton of these counties a great DEAL
In discussing the proposal Auditor
General Fuller brings to light some
interesting facts. One is that II the
state board of equalization boosts the
ties, which seems probable, then the
small taxpayer will be compelled to
pay his share of the tax that should
be justly apportioned to the iron
mines. The assessment of the iron
mines will be made by the local as
sessing officers before the report Of
the state board of equalization is
made and unless the state tax COM
mission takes a hand and orders a
special re-assessment, which they will
not have the time to do, the iron
mine owners will escape large tax
for this year.

board member states that the annual
income of the University of Michigan

quarters, as now. He also expressed
the opinion that the valuation of the
