STATES BUYERS
IN CONVENTION
Annual Meeting Of Purchasing
Agents Held In Marquette

Purchasing agents and officials of
practically every state institution IN
Michigan. constituting the membership
of the Michigan Institutional Buyers
association, gathered at the Marquette
prison Thursday for their quarterly
meeting. The object of the meetings
of the buyers il to consider the prices
of the various commodities used in
the state institutions. with view OF
effecting saving by obtaining the best
terms and making purchases i'm large
quantities. An idea of the extent of
the purchases made through the ASSOC
citation is gained from the fact that
100000 was expended last year for
supplies. The meeting was highly ben
ehcial. Large amounts Of samples OF
staple articles from manufacturers
and dealers in Michigan and elsewhere
were on exhibition.
The Michigan Institutional Buyers
association, as j. II. Draper, superin-
tendent of the University of Michigan
hospital at Ann Arbor and secretary of
the association, explained, was organ
lied Nov. II, 1912. The membership
extends to the buyers of every state
conducted institution. John A. Hoff-
man, of the Kalamazoo state hospital,
was chosen president, and Mr. Draper
was elected secretary, which office he
now holds.
Meetings are held quarterly" Mr..
II. n
of samples and prices Of all staples are
on hand for the inspection of the buy
ers. We are given an opportunity To
examine the samples as To quality and
price and to select just such articles as
are necessary for our special require
ments. The combined orders are placed
with Michigan manufacturers and job
bers, provided the articles they offer
are equal To those submitted from out
side the state. 1t is not compulsory
that we buy from Michigan men. but
we look To the best advantage Of the
institutions. We thereby effect a great
saving to all state institutions and es-
peclally to the smaller institutions.
which are able to make their purchases
on the same basis as the larger.
After each meeting a tabulated list
of all supplies is compiled and sent to
each institution, in case for any reason
any one may have been unable to be
represented at the meeting. most
Harmonious feeling exists among all
the buyers, and it often happens that
between meetings we are able To help
each other along this line.
The advantage OF the association
over any other form of state purchas-
ing agency" Mr. Draper continued.
lies in the fact that the members are
closely in touch with the working of
the institutions. Other forms of pur-
chasing agencies have been suggested
at various times i'm the past, and have
been tried out in other states. During
the last year the combined purchases
of the association have amounted to
moro than 100000.
Members of the boards Of control
and others have been present ut our
meetings and have invariably express
ed themselves as being heartily in
sympathy with the work. We had an
exceptionally fine line of samples and
prices at our meeting today. The next

CHURCH WIDENS FIELD

The question of whether or not tho
Protestant Episcopal Church ought to Coz
operate with other denominations in re-
ligious work among the foreign born OF
New York or go its way alone, as II has
done in the foreign missionary field. pre-
cipltated an exceedingly acrimonious de-
bate yesterday at the diocesan convention
at synod Hall. More than once during
the hour OF attack and counter attack 1t
looked as If the whole plan for extending
the local missionary field might he wrecked.
High Church men and Low Church men di-
vded on the issue, and the inevitable ques-
ton as to whether or not the Protestant
Episcopal Church IL Catholic or Protestant
or both came into the discussion. The
Highs said it was Catholic; the Lows said
Il was Protestant. and between the two
divisions there were those who maintain ID
