waukee. for that amount, it being a
remittance TO the state for the per
cent tax on the company's premiums

Albert Hotter, of Ashland, it is
charged, entered department store
in Ontonaeon at so o'clock in the
morning, robbed the till, permitted
the place to catch fire from dropped

worked as volunteer fireman to ex-

State lands I'm Michigan are going
to cost more in the future. Dollar
lands are to be things of the past.
These are among the various things
agreed on at the meeting of the pub
lie domain commission held in Lans-

all state lands Placed at value OF
at least Sc an acre. Several members
thought such a change would not be
Just the thing to do at present. Even.

be raised to that figure.
AS the result OF row that has
been brewing for months. Deputy
Postmaster William McCracken, of st
Joseph, has been dismissed from the
postal service An order to this eff
feet was issued by the department at
Washington GO days ago. The order
was based on the ground that the Of

assistant postmaster general merely

ALBION COMMON COUNCIL EXON
CRATES CITY TREASURES FOR
LOSS OF FUNDS IN BANK
FAILURE.
ALL MICHIGAN is PRODUCTIVE
SAYS JOHN /. GIBSON.
Sale of Sweet Cider Is Not Barred
in DRY" Counties Is Opinion OF
Attorney General Franz
c. Kuhn.
Petition Frees Albion Treasurer.


The Albion common council has
unanimously voted 10 eXonerate City
Treasurer w. j. Morse from all re-
sponsibility for the loss of city funds,
to the amount of $7,056,34, which We're
in the Albion Natinal bank at the
time OF its failure, Jan. 2, and the loss
will fall upon the taxpayers. A petit
ton, signed by taxpayers representing
more than half of the total city tax
roll was presented, asking that Morse
be absolved from blame.
Public sentiment was almost unani-
mously in favor of the city taking
the blame for the loss, as the coun-
Gil, contrary to the state law, had not
designated the depository, the treas
urer, following the custom OF splitting
up the money in the three banks. Had
the council not taken the action they
did, Morse, who is in the clothing
business, would have failed.
The payment of the stockholders
assessments is going on at present.
Very few are paying the sum set
against their names in one amount,
but most OF them are taking advant-
age OF the fCar months time allowed
by the government.

Sweet Cider is Not Barred.

In response to a request OF Prose-
cutting Attorney w. Glenn Cowell, of
Coldwater attorney General Franz c..
Kuhn HAS rendered en opinion that
sweet or ulfefmented cider may be
lawfully manufactured and sold in
those counties where the local option
law has been adopted.
Since the decision in the case of
the People VS.. Eberle, in which the
supreme court held that hard cider
cannot be sold, or given away in
any quantity, except as part of a
hosts hospitality, throughout the
state there have been many who have
questioned the right of anyone to
even make cider for vinegar in a dry
county.

To Prevent Drafts.

A simple and practical way to pre-
vent drafts entering under a door that
has. through shrinkage, wide crack
under 1t. is to fold three thicknesses
of paper together just the width of
the door and two incnes deep and
cover 1t with serge or cloth as near
the color of the door as possible.
Sew to this three small brass rings,
one a quarter of an inch from each
end and one In the middle. Fasten
into the bottom of the door three
small screw hooks and hang the rings
TO them. You will have perfect
protection from cold air coming under

All MICHIGAN Productive.

Education in better methods OF
farming and fruit growing is what is
needed in this state" declared John
Il. Gibson, secretary of the Western
Michigan Development bureau at the
luncheon of the Board of Commerce
in the fuller hotel, Detroit. He said
that there is hardly an acre of land
in Michigan which cannot be made
productive.
we have the land, the climate and
all other advantages. and there is no
reason why this state should not be
banner one. We have the advantage
because while we can raise the
choicest apples and other fruit here,
in the western states they have to
raise the finest to make it pay"

A careless grocer left the wrong

and thereby brought great blessing

effort to digest ordinary food gave me
great pain, and brought on a condition

ENLARGE STATE CAPITOL.
Many Lawyers Join in Movement for
Erection of New Wing.

Because the state supreme court and
hundreds of lawyers are forced to
work in inadequate quarters at Ian
sing and because legal business is
thus greatly handicapped, bar associa-
tions throughout the state are uniting
in an effort TO have the next legisla-
ture provide for enlarging the state
capitol.
The Michigan State Bar association,
the Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalama-
zoo. tMarquette, Branch, Calhoun and
Genesees associations have adopted
resolutions calling for this action on
the part of the next legislature and
pledging the efforts of their members
towards this. 1t is expected that every
city and county bar association in the
state will follow the example set.

Gets Judgment Against City.

III. II. Sayre, now connected with
the firm of j. C. King & Co., Insur-
ance Agents yesterday secured
Judgment against the city of Ard
more in the sum of $1,000 salary al
legged to be due and unpaid by said
city.
During the city administration
when James Cotner was mayor OF
the city, Sayre was appointed city
engineer for a term of two years.
After serving one year OF the ap-
pointment he was removed, owing
to friction between himself and the
city council Shortly after the ex-
piration of the second year which
he should have served under his ap-
pointment, Sayre filed suit for
$1,000, the amount which the city
would have owed him had he have
completed his term. The defendants
petition at first alleged that, being
an employ of the city the mayor
and the members of the council
had the right to discharge at any
time. Afterwards the city's attor-
neys filed an amended or new Pc
tition in which the allegation was
made that Sayre was removed from
office because the city did not have
the funds with which to pay his sal
ary, owing to insufficiency OF the
tax levy.
When the case was called, Potterf
& Walker, representing the plain
tiff. moved the court that judgment
be entered on the pleadings for
the plaintiff, which motion the court
sustained.
