years of age. After graduating from
the Hillsboro high school in 1899, at
tended the State University Of Wiscon-
sin at Madison, uplil 1902, when | en-
tered the law department of the Uni
versity of Michigan, at Ann Arbor,

ton in this state. During all Of the time
since attaining my majority | have act
