Land Titled.

The department OF agriculture esti-
mates that there are l,140.000,000 acres
Of illabIe land I'm the United States
and that only 81 per cent OF this i'm
mense area is under cultivation. II
might add that of the - per cent ac-
tually cultivated comparatively few
acres are handled In such n way as to
show anything like their maximum pro-
duction.
Here Is food for the pessimist The
man who fears that the country Is
nearing actual exhaustion may find
cheer In the thought that little more
than quarter OF the available agricul-
tural land is being made productive
Supply inevitably meets demand, and
as the demand for agricultural products
increases the supply will be enlarged
by the development of regions which
have not been touched by the plow.-

"My dear Mr.. --;
"Are you going to be one of the HEAD
LESS ARMY? It's in rhe majority and
spends its time taking directions and a
daily pittance from the LEADING and
RULING minority whose heads, fixed
on their own shoulders, do the thinking
and planning that carry the world along.
The majority draw pay for the work
they can get out of their muscles and
can hope for no great change i'm the flu
ture; the minority use their physical
capacity as a supplement to their mental
capacity and expect all things of THEIR
futures. The dividing line is training,
another name for EDUCATION. In
youth, NOW, You decide how YOU will
be classified later on. This letter is writ
ten to remind you that it is UP TO
YOU NOW To decide for which group
this year will help fit you and to point
to the open doors of the high school.
"You want to earn something at once.
Let's measure, if possible, the dollars and
cents value of going to school. In the
United States as whole, taking cOndi-
tions by and large, the uneducated man
can not hope for more than $3.50 a day
for 300 working days, or $3.50 a year.
Well give him the generous allowance of
40 working years. Total income, $4,000.
Now consider the trained (educated)
man. What is his average salary? Be-
ginning with the president of the United
States and taking into account the presi-
dents of companies, banks, universities,
and institutions of all sorts, their lesser
officials, lawyers, doctors, the ma orty of
merchants, engineers, ministers, real
estate and insurance men, educated farm
ers, master artisans, and teachers, we
shall find that 81 900 year is a low esti-
mate for the average income of the edu-
Gated man. Ii is undeniably true that
the educated man wears out more slowly
and lives LONGER as well as MORE
COMFORTABLY than the uneducated,
but for the sake of the argument, well
allow him, too, a 40-year period of activ-
ity. Total income, $4,000; difference in
his favor, $4,000. The average difference
in education is less than 1920 days. But
calling il 2,200 the average return during
lifetime for each day in school Is SO.
TEN DOLLARS A DAY. Can YOU
BEAT IT: Ii SO, would like to be
shown how. For Nevada, the figures are
different, of course, but the relations be-
tween the two groups is about the same.
"Supposing You do give up job pay
ing something each week. 1t is surren-
dering LITTLE now for MUCH in the
future, giving up two or three dollars a
day now for return of ten dollars a
day postponed a while II is not hard
To decide which is the better end of
THAT bargain.

Formation of Ice.

The cause assigned for the fact that
water freezes only for comparatively
small space at the surface OF rivers or
ponds is thus explained. Scientists au-
thoritatlyely declare that water Is at
fits heaviest when il reaches 40 degrees
F.-that is. 8 degrees above freezing
point. On frosty night. as each top
layer OF water fails to 40 degrees It
sinks to the bottom. therefore the
whole pond has TO drop To 40 degrees
before any OF Il can freeze. At length
it is all cooled 10 this point. and then
ice begins to form. But Ice il very
bad conductor OF heat. therefore II

priated for the improvement of the Ing
ham and Clinton road. In those days
timber was plenty, and plank roads be-
came very popular. In ls48 company
was organized To build "A plank road from
Michigan, as Lansing was then called, to
Mason. This failed to materialize, and
not until eight companies had been
organized and incorporated was a road
of that kind built Many old residents
of the county remember that the Detroit
and Howell plank road, which was built
in 1850, and those who drove stage over
that line or Travelled ii frequently can tell
many interesting incidents connected
with il.
This road had seven toll gates and was
first opened for business in 1852. Plank
roads were not aS satisfactory as il was
hoped they would he, as i'm that day the
material for them lay right at hand and
was Inexpensive, and this particular kind
Of road became graveled turnpike in
1870. An act of the legislature was
necessary to enable the company to
abandon the plank system, though the
charters permitting them To take toll
continued in force until 1908 for the De
troit and Howell road and until 1910 for
the Lansing and Howell road
As early as 1850 the use of gravel, of
which Ingham county had at that time
an apparently exhaustble supply, was
recommended in road building. Many
fine roads throughout the state bear evil
dence of the excellent qualities of the
lngham county gravel.

Early Road Building Days in Michigan


The question Of good roads is not q
new one. In Michigan as early as 1917
q military state road was planned be-
tween Detroit and Saginaw, to take the
place Of the narrow, winding trails made
by the Indians, which the white men fol-
lowed. This road was 100 feet wide for
the entire distance and is today one of
the finest turnpikes i'm the state.
In 1882 the government awoke to the
need of better roads in the territory of
Michigan and Congress directed the
president To appoint three commissioners
To lay out a road from Detroit through
Shiawassee county to the mouth Of the
Grand river and in 1924 there was
ten miles of this road built out from
Detroit, at cost OF $4,000. Two years
later, $500 more was expended in the
construction Of bridges over the Rogue,
Huron, Shiawassee and Cedar rivers.
This road was also 100 feet in width and
before Michigan was admitted as state
it was built as far as the present site of
North Lansing.
Road building was an important ques-
ton in those early days and the swamps
and rivers of Michigan demanded great
expenditure of money in completing the
highways through and across them.
In lS45 the government approved an
act authorizing the use of certain non
resident taxes for improving the Grand
river road, between Howell and Justus
Gilkey's home in Ingham county. The
session laws of that day show that a
road through the county seat of Ingham
county was authorized in February. 1887,
and the next month two others through
the same place were ordered, while in
1899 road running east and west
through Leslie and one south from Gin
ton county line through Lansing to
Mason were ordered built. In 1913 roads
from four different directions were built
into Lansing, and the same year there
were 5000 acres of state land set aside
for the improvement of state road run
ming from Dexter to Mason by way of
Stockbridge. Lansing was connected
with Bay City by a good road in 1861,
and that year 1920 acres were appro-

one of my Plymouth Rock roosters had
fallen off the perch dead. ] opened him
and found his liver had enlarged, both
lobes, about six inches both ways. and
his heart had dark blood clots in it. about
teaspoonful. The liver was very spot
ted and it weighed one pound and one
ounce. Now my quarters are, as far as !
know, clean and have plenty of fresh
water around, and in regard To feeding
feed them wheat i'm the morning and
corn at night, besides every now ana
then they have skinned milk with
plenty of oyster shell and wheat they
pick up on the five-acre run, Now in re-
CARDS to any other disease in this rooster,
which fell over dead, ! failed to see it..
Would gladly appreciate any information
you may let me have. II. j. w.
