The proposed State and national

heartiest commentator Thursday
among the labor representatives in
the city and state organizations.
They welcomed the operation of
the farmers and asserted that the al
lance would prove an additional
source of strength to the agricultural
interests as well as to the labor
unions.
President Barrett of the Farmers
Union already has declared unreserv-
edly for the establishing of closer re

of his big organization is welcome Is
evidenced by the repeated invitations
which have been extended by the rep

TOBACCO FARIT STUDENT
ADVISED TO QUIT SCHOOL

A new rule regarding the use of
tobacco by high school students
has gone into effect. There is no
longer a question of the injurious
effect of tobacco upon the growing
boy, and a close comparison of
standings of users and non-users
of tobacco shows clearly the great
handicap of the users.
If boys cannot be prevailed upon
TO stop the use of tobacco during
their school course, it seems a
waste of time for them to attempt
to finish.
Such boys might better be put at
some useful work at once.

A FINE RECORD

Under the above caption the
w eaton Gazette Reporter com
ments in most fattering terms upon
the administration of Charles Hous.
ton, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. F.
Houston of this city, who is County
Attorney of Traverse county, Mimi.
The following is clipped from the
Gasette-Reporter of November %,
1918:
County Attorney Houston pos
sesses the faculty of efficiently and
effectively disposing of criminal
matters in the county with very
little expense to the taxpayers and
without making great deal Of
noise about what he IS doing.
The Gazette Reporter this week
had occasion to inspect the records
and was surprised to find the mum
Der of criminal cases in the county
during the Fast year, and was more
han pleased to observe that tt e
law had been energetically enforced
but with foresight and judgment
that brought desired results with
out piling up expense 1t is the
policy and practice of the county
attorney, when the commission of
crime is brought to his attention, to
proceed quietly to assemble all the
facts and evidence against the cul
prlt, and to then confront him with
his record and pin him down with
questions until a confession is
forthcoming. In nearly every case
of Importance he has pursued this
plan successfully and the count,
has been saved the great expense
that always results from criminal
trial.
During the past year, forty per.
sons have plead guilty to various
accusations and received punish
ment without expense TO the county
Mr.. Houston is certainly emit
tied to the thanks of the taxpayers
for this manifest desire to econo-
nize, and is deserving of praise for
succeeding wi t h out permitting
crime to go unpublished. Tact, de.
termination and good common
sense are very useful in any calling
or business and are profitable to
the public when they are possessed
and employed by a public official
in the discharge Of his duties"
