SAFETY FIRST
Work Along This Line Will be
Taken Up in Schools.

Superintendent T. L. Keeler is urg-
ing a general effort throughout the
schools of the state in training the
pupils along the line of self-preserva-
ticx statistics furnished by the rail-
ROADS of the country show an appalling
number of accidents. The greater per
cent of the accidents on railroads is to
trespassers-people making a public
highway of the tracks, employees hurry
ing to work, children taking a short
cut to school. Industrial centers and
tchool locations near railroads are
4 eactically death centers. The work
will be Systematically carried on. By
means of pictures, stories, moving
pictures were possible, and in various
other ways, children will be trained to
be alert They will be warned against
Injurious practices along railways, run
ming in front Of street cars and auto
mobiles, touching live wires and the
innumerable other things that each day
cause fatalities among children. =. I.

structed as to serve the community as
gathering places for various kinds of
public meetings, and where vans are
used to convey the children to school
during the day they are frequently
pressed into service to haul the farm
ers and their wives to institute work,
lectures, or entertainments at the
school house. The consolidated school
becomes a sort of community center
to which all educational and. social -ac
tivities converge, and in order that it
may properly perform that function all
of the highways leading to it should be
so improved as to render it readily ac-
cessible throughout the year.

RELATION OF ROADS
TO RURAL SCHOOLS

The rural population is more willing
to support better schools today than at
any previous time. 1t is being real
lied that all educational activities or
agencies must be more or less correl-
ated, and, more than all else, that they
must be accessible to the children.
In many counties where bad roads pre-
vail, most OF the schools are of the an
tiquated one-room variety. They are
usually located along bad roads, which,
during the winter, when the schools
are usually in session, become so near
ly impossible as to make it difficult for
children to reach them. This condi-
ton causes irregular attendance and
restricts the educational opportunities
of the child. Not only this, but it often
impedes the economic consolidation of
these smaller schools into larger,
stronger graded schools, with high
school courses, directed by compe-
tent principal and corps of teachers,
according to the Office of Public Roads.
On the other hand, in counties which
have improved their roads the schools
are easily reached, the average atten-
dance greater, the efficiency largely
increased, ann economic consolidation
made possible. Regular attendance at
school means consistent and regular
growth OF both school and pupil, and
consolidation of schools means a maxi
mum OF efficiency at minimum cost.
1t is also noteworthy that there is a
marked tendency for the consolidated
school to become the social and intel
lectual center of the community Most
modern rural school houses are so con-

WIFE DESERTER AND
BIGAMIST GETS 3 YEARS
Gets Maximum and Is Bitterly
Scored By Judge Mayne.

Smith, of Boyne City who was out on
bond for wife desertion came up before
Judge Mayne in Circuit court Monday
to receive sentence after breaking his
parole. He got the sentence all right,
and along with it went few remarks
from the Court, which would be to
some men, worse than the sentence
itself.
The Judge told him he was one
prisoner he was glad to pronounce
upon, and, in no uncertain terms gave
his opinion of a person guilty of the
conduct that Smith was. He sentenced
him for from one to three years, the
maximum sentence, and strongly
recommended the three.
When SIN tn finished his term for
wife desertion he will 90 up again for
bigamy, and the penalty for this is
much more severe.
j Taylor "bad man" from Mackin-
aw City was sentenced from one to two

DOGS UTILIZED IN WARFARE
Once Actual Participants In HostIll.
ties, ~ Well a. Made Of Good
Use In Other Ways.

Dogs Of war" Is q phrase which
once meant thing as real as the war
horse. Dogs have played their part in
battles and campaigns, and in the old
wars between England and Scotland
dogs were used by both combatants
for pursuing and killing fugitives after
a defeat. It is related that Wallace
and Bruce each had close escapes
from capture by English bloodhounds.
Bruce Is said to have thrown the Eng.
lish dog of the scent by the now we'll
known expedient OF wading up a
stream far enough to baffie his pur-
suers. and Wallace evaded the hounds
by having recourse; to q trick more
or less common in those bloody times.
Of killing a follower and leaving the
body In the dogs path for them. to
come upon. The dogs finding body
believed that their task was done and
discontinued the hunt.
In the history of the wars OF the
middle ages one finds reference to the
use Of big dogs against cavalry for the
purpose Of throwing the horses into
confusion and not alone for causing
panic but casualties, for these fierce
canine partisans were clothed in coats
OF mail studded with spikes and hav.
ing scythes fitted to their harness.
Instances are recorded where war
dogs with fire brands fastened to their
coats of mail have been set on an
enemy's camp with destructive re-
suits. Henry VIII must have found
dogs useful in military ways. because
in English history It is writtens that
he offered the use o. 10000 auxiliaries
and 1000 war dogs to King Charles
v Of Spain to aid that monarch In
his war with Francis I. r,rr.

HARD TO, KILL OFF RABBITS
Growth Of the Pest In Tasmania Hae
Crested q Serious Problem
for AorleulturIsts.

Az in other states In Australia, the
problem of dealing with the rabbit
pest has been given considerable at
tention by farmers and pastoralists In
Tasmania for some time.
The matter was taken up by the
Farmers and Stockowners' association
at recent meeting of the council OF
that body. Among other things 1t wac
stated that Information had been col
lected bearing upon the trade In rab-
bit skin In this state. The figures In
dicated that not less. than 100000
skins were exported from Tasmania
each year, the value of which was un-
der $25o.O00.
As poison was also generally used
for destroying the pest. 1t was quite
safe to assume that as many more
we're killed, making the death roll
equal to 10000, 900. Adding to that at
least 100000 left at the end OF each
winter to breed again. the conclusion
was arrived at that the lands OF the
state we're growing every year 12.0OO.-
900 rabbits.
Taking these figures as basis and
allowing Is rabbits to consume as
much grass as one sheep, II was COM
puted that the rabbit was occupying
the place Of 100000 sheep, or, In other
words, taking up about one-third OF
the lands, for which the state received
under $25O.000, as against the value
OF 100000 sheep. which would be not
less than $1,500.00O at a low estimate.
