May ESTABLISH
OWN LIBRARIES
Supt Keller Explains Provisions
of New Michigan Laws

ANY school district in Michigan
that does not have an up-to-date Ii
brary i'm its schoolhOuse can lay the
blame upon an unprogressive teacher
or school board" says Superintendent
of Public Instruction Keller i'm "A bull
lctn just issued. "The Michigan State
library will send "A library of so vol
umes to any school district which will
pay freight and carriage from Lansing
and return. AS the cost To the most
distant district is not more than Sl.25,
these travelling libraries are available
to all.
These books may be kept for six
months. then returned and new set
ordered"
Schools which desire a permanent
library also reap the benefits of re-
cent state legislation. The bulletin
continues:
Library money is now apportioned
to the various school districts which
have voted to establish libraries on the
first day of August instead of in June.
The library fund is made up of the
penal fines paid into each county and
is distributed according to the number
of children on the census lists.
Contrary to the general opinion. 1t
does not cost the school district any
thing To- establish library. After a
vote is taken at the annual or special
meeting and the fact is reported To the
department of public instruction, the
district receives it's share of the Ii
brary money"

An order for the most powerful
electric locomotives ever built has
Just been given by the New York,
Central & Hudson River Railroad, the
locomotives being for use in it's New
York terminal service. The present
order is for six electric locomotives,
and follows an order given early in
this year for ten locomotives, which
at that time were the record breakers
concerned. -IlYV

coRRosoRATEs CHARGES
AGAINST GRATING BY
NEW YORK POLITICIANS

New York n. Y. Nov. 2O.--George
NJ. Mcclure of Syracuse, pale and often
weak of memory. whispered corrobo-
ration of some of the charges made
by John A. Hennessy against grating
politicians In a three hour examina-
ton yesterday afternoon by District
Attorney Charles :. Whitman.
Mcclure was the days only witness
I'm the John Doe inquiry through
which Mr.. Whitman is seeking 10 bare
corruption among Tammany and Re-
publican collectors Of campaign con-
tributions from 300 or more contrac-
tors on state barge canal and highway
work
Hennessy, investigator of graft for
Ex-Governor Sulzer, sat in the court
room as Mcclure testified. OF none Of
the charges. however, could the wit
ness speak of his own knowledge. They
had come To him i'm the gossip of con-
tractors. Mcclure testified that he had
heard of forty or more contractors be-
ing forced to make contributions OF
these he had told Hennessy last Octo-
Der and Hennessy had written them
down.
The memorandum was introduced,
but Mcclure failed to recall some OF
its contents. Nor would Mcclure give
the name of a single person who had
given him information.
What Mcclure knew definitely was
that he and his brother, James X Nc
CURE for six years mayor of SYRIA
cuse, had profited by commission be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 on the sale of
asphalt and oil to the state and to
contractors on state work. The com
missions, Mcclure testified, were paid
by the Barber Asphalt company, by
which his brother had been long en-
ployed, and by the United States AS
phalt company.

brated Monday evening at the Beacon
Hin schoolhouse, the occasion being
the joint anniversary of Frederick
Happier. ST.. of Beacon Hill, and his
son, Frederick Happier. Jr., of Lake
Linden, representative in the Michigan
legislature from the Second district
Of Houghton county. The guests in
cluded "a large number of friends of
the father and son and the evening was
most enjoyable.
The elder Mr.. Happier is a native Of
Germany, born there "a years ago last
Sunday. Nov IS, 1929. He emigrat ted
to the United States early in life and
settled at Sheboygan. Wis where so
many sturdy German pioneers of the
copper country first made their homes
in the new world.
Later Mr.. Happier came to Hancock
where he engaged in logging for a time.
He afterward lived for some years in
Marquette and Negaunee and then re-
turned to the copper country. The eX-
piration of his eighty-fou year of
life finds him in excellent health and
spirits and with as full an enjoyment
of his birthday festivities as any of
the younger people of his family.
His son, Frederick. was born a.
years ago on his fathers birthday an
niversary. The other members of the
immediate family are three brothers
who live in Saginaw. Both father and
son are respected citizens of the
Houghton county communities in
which they make their homes.

GOV, FERRIS FIXES
SUNDAY, DEC. 7, AS
TUBERCULOSIS DAY

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 20.-lGov. Fer
ris has issued the following procla-
nation, fixing Sunday, Dec. I. as "Tu-
berculosis day:
Good health is an asset. The laws
of health are as much Gods laws as
are the le commandments The raw
ages of the white plague surpass the
ravages of war. Intelligent. concerted
effort on the part of the American peo-
pie would i'm a few generations exter
inmate this plague. 1t is humane to
use all possible means to relieve the
afflicted and protect those who are
constitutionally weak.
If, however, it is imperative that tu-
berculosis patients have an abundance
of pure air and sunshine, systematic
ut-door exercise, nourshing food and
pleasant surroundings, how immense
ly important is IL that all who are not
afflicted have the benefit of these agen-
cics i'm order that we may eventually
have a people who are immune.
The truth of the matter is, there ex-
lists "A superstitious fear in relation
To pure air. especially in living and
sleeping rooms, a fear of disastrous
consequences from outdoor living.
Let the evanGels of rational living not
relax their efforts in teaching the peo-
pie how to avoid the contagion of tu-
berculosis, but at the same time let
them teach well people how to acquire
the physical vigor that ressts tuber-
culosis and at the same time resists all
other diseases
Therefore. /. Woodbridge n. Ferris,
