HAPPENINGS IN MICHIGAN

ispeech BY Rep. Flowers. who ridi-
culed in the most forcible terms the
idea that Detroit Is In any way In
need OF relief at the hands OF the les-
| islature.
There was no obstruction on the
part of rural members such AS often
has been a handicap to legislation AZ
fecting cities. In accordance With the
decision OF the Farmers club. Wed
nesday, not 10 oppose the bill. those
men kept still and stood by 1t con-
sistently. solid vote of more than
one-fourth of the total membership
was thus insured in its favor.
Reps. Palmer. Copley. Jerome, Ash
ley, Koehler and Martz, OF Detroit. all
spoke for the bill. Rep. Martz. espe-
cially. handled the situation without
gloves, The ID. u. r., he said, was
the source of all opposition to II In
Detroit, and so far as he was con-
cerned. he proposed TO represent the
interests OF the people who elected
him. and not those OF any corpora
ton.
So many amendments were added
to the bill that its hnal reading was
dispensed with when the clerk assert
ed II, would be practically an impos-
sibility. Most of these were to make
special adaptations 10 the particular
needs OF different cities. None OF
them were of nature tending 70
make the law less workable. Senator
verdier remarked that about one
third OF them improved 1t. and the
rest were unnecessary.
Reps. Hollway, and Spr OF Grand
Rapids, who SO strongly objected TO
the original form OF the bill. were
among Its most determined defenders.
The verdier home rule bill is now
ready to go to the governor for his
signature Without debate the SEN
ate voted 26 to 0 Friday morning, to
concur in the amendments made IN

He defended his motion in an elo-
quent speech, throwing in some
scathing partisan remarks which an
tagonized members OF his own party

chiefly that since the Plumley resolu'

Mutual Improvement association after
discussing various plans decided that
the best way was to call on the cit
zens and boys and girls of the town
for aid.
\ big picnic was organized, and after
a day of labor, mingled with merri-
ment. the picnickers saw their new
recreation park well established. All
day the men swung axes or scythes.
the boys chopped with hatchets. and
the women and the girls raked or pre-
pared good things to eat.
When darkness put an end to the
work the little army of aXmen and
rakers had cleared a large tract in the
thirty acres of woodland skirting We
nonah lake and made it suitable for
picnics and all sorts of healthy recrea-
tons for the townspeople.
The thirty acre tract was acquired by
the borough n year ago, when it pur-
chased its waterworks, and is one of
the most beautiful spots in this region.
The council recently voted to permit
the Mutual Improvement association
to establish park on this land. With
out waiting for a municipal appropria-
ton to improve the place the associa-
ton called for volunteers and held its

To Kill Germs In Streets.

The destruction of dust germs in

ADVERTISING TO GET RESULTS
The Right Kind Certain to Bring an
increase of Business.

Advertising is simple to some peo-
pie and very difficult and complicated
to others The former class never
spends a dollar on printing ink with
out the assurance of good returns. The
other class sometimes spends thou
sands of dollars without the slightest
result.
Is it a mystery? Not at all. A thor
oughly experienced person can tell be-
forehand whether an advertising cam
paign will pay. 1t is not easy to say
just what form of advertisement will
give the best results. but it is easy
enough to select the method of adver-
Using which will give such results.
There is Il right way and a wrong
way of conducting an advertising cam
paign. and good advertisements and
good mediums may prove worthless if
the advertiser has chosen the wrong
way
Speaking generally. the mail order
system is one of the wrong ways. al
though it may pay individuals. 1t is
merely q substitute. temporary sub
stitute. for the true and tried old sys-

The magic of advertising? That's
right The magician's wand cannot do

The public must be reached. and

Using job must receive proper treat

much simpler than the manufacturer
