WHAT IT is AND DOES.

Wet and Dry" Editor:
The liquor traffic is an unmiti-
gated evil and a curse to any
community that tolerates It. II
cannot be defended on any prin-
ciple that appeals to the moral or
ethical sensibilities of any civiliz-
ed community. II is a rebel
against good government. It is q
foe of organized society. II over
awes the pulpit and subsidies the
press.
1t destroys domestic happiness,
II brutalizes the husband, DESC
lates the wife, debauches the son,
betrays the daughter. 1t Is with
out concern for truth. without re-
gard for honor, without reverence
for virtue. The only plea that
can possibly be nut up for its
longer existence in this fair laud
is an overmastering love Of
money

meets especially with their needs.
This organization will also enable
schools to teach all grades above the
sixth by the departmental plan, that is
by having a special teacher for each
subject. Moreover the pupil will ad-
vance by passing subjects instead of
grades.
Present conditions in Michigan
schools are such that the proposed
plan can be adopted easily. Several
cities of the state have tried the plan.
In other states also the plan is meet
ing with favor wherever tried. Be-
cause it divides the school course into
two parts, each covering six years,
the proposed organization is common
ly called the Six and Six plan.

F0RESIERS IN THE CITY
M. A. c. Men Working On Trees
And Orchards in This Vicinity

On the grounds of Francis King are
in the neighborhood of three hundred
trees and according to the report of
the experts who are working on the
trees there is not single tree that is
diseased or hampered by destroying in
sects. The foresters were amazed at
the cleanliness of the orchards and at
the almost perfect condition of the
trees. Three Nj. A. c. men, Oscar Mil
Ter, w. N. Easton and r. Pearce, to-
gether with f. Gray of Lansing and
John MCGUIRE, an old experienced man
at the business, are examining the
trees and trimming them, placing
braces where they are needed and
touching them up here and there.
These men are members of the Michi-
gan Arboricultural Company. The ex-
|cellent condition of the trees is due
to the care which has been given them
and to the use of spraying mixtures,
lime sulphur solution and Bordeaux
mixture were used plentifully. 1t will
take these men less than a week to
put all of the trees on the premises
in first class condition, due to the fact
that practically no doctoring is neces-
sary. The trees in the orchards are
of every variety that is a profitable
bearer in this country and the shade
trees are mostly maple.

road and kindled by the vision of

ard, was knocked out of the box in the
sixth, and Nelson was shifted from
second and pitched fine three inn
ings. Allen pitched tight ball the en-
tire game only allowing two hits. The
remarkable fielding of Wilbur Lane

game. He made four put outs un-
assisted, and every one was exception
ally difficult. Wenzel played a fine
game at third and although it was his
first game with Alma, he fell into the
spirit of Alma's efficient team work
and "pull together" feeling without
any trouble. Vogt with his arm in
poor condition made several good
pegs to second. McCloy, while he
made one score, had an off day Friday
and was credited with two errors.
McCloy has played through an entire
