Thomas Lawrence, Negro, convict
ed of highway robbery in 1907 and
sentenced to Marquette from Detroit
for life Saturday had his sentence
commuted and a parole issued, all at
one time by the governor. He will be
paroled from the upper peninsula as
soon as the papers reach there.
The Lawrence case dragged along
through the Osborn and Ferris adj
ministration. The question of iden-
tity at the trial and the ownership
of a cap, coupled with an alleged
confession from another colored man.
Robert Cole sent to Marquette for
Is years, raised a question of doubt
which the governor has finally thrown
Lawrence's way.
He has been interceded for by re-
representatives. of the Michigan FEEDER
alton Of Labor and by nearly all who
had hand in his trial. Judge Phelan,
before whom he was tried, has al
ways insisted the man got a fair trial
and the judge seemed to be convinced
of his guilt
Lawrence's sentence has been COM
muted to Is years and a parole issued
at once. He was sentenced January
II, 1908.

Buckwheat Kills Grass.

Buckwheat is considered one of the
best plants to kill quack grass. The
ground is plowed early in the spring
and cultivated with disk every week
to keep the quack grass down till it is
time to SOW buckwheat A heavy coat
is then sowed and when a green rank
growth is made the crop is plowed
under. The next spring the ground is
cross plowed and then planted to some
kind Of a cultivated crop. 1t seems
that the buckwheat produces a little
acidity in The soil and this kills out
the quack grass.

Crown gall and hairy root are dis
eases of very great importance to both
nurseryman and fruit grower. The
fact that they are so very widely dis
trlbuted throughout the world and
that they attack such a very large
number of species and varieties of
plants, places them among the most
important of the plant diseases. AL
though they are referred to as two
diseases, they are in reality due to
the same organism. The crown gall
form was the first to attract the at
tention of the observers, but it was
soon learned that hairy root was fire.
quently associated with it.
The disease in one or both forms
is now recognized as occurring on
almond, apple, apricot, arbutus, al
falfa, blackberry, beet. cherry, chest
nut, clover, corn, cotton, dewberry,
English daisy, grape, hop, honey
suckle, marguerite, marigold, oleander
peach, plum, prune, pear, potato, pop
lar, pecan, peony, raspberry rose, rad
ish, Shasta daisy walnut, willow, and
many other plants. On many of these
plants it would be of very little impor-
lance were it not that they serve to
carry the organism from season to sea-
son and from place to place. On many
plants it is quite serious, reducing
their vitality and fruitfulness. In com
merce, its greatest Importance is on
apples, pears, peaches. plums. cherries
grapes, raspberries, blackberries, dew

berries and other small fruits.
The disease is due to a bacterial or
ganism living in the cells OF tue host
plant and stimulating them to exces-
sive activity. which results In the for
nation of cancerous and hairy growths
occurring at the crown, on the roots,
trunks and branches Of the affected
plants. On herbaceous plants and cane
fruits it usually causes the soft gals,
which originate in the spring and are
irregular in size, whitish and rough
ened. During the latter part of the
season they decay and slough of. The
plant may survive the attack, but some
of the roots will be killed and undergo
a decay, permitting the entrance OF
other organisms of disease. On hard,
woody plants, the disease usually
takes the form of hard gals. On APP
pie and some other plants it may take
the hairy root form, in which it pro-
duces a fat gall or callus covered
with great mass of hairlike roots.
Diseased trees will frequently grow,
make a fine, healthy appearance and
produce fruit, while in other cases the
disease is without doubt the cause Of
reduced crops, dwarfed growths and
frequently death. The disease is prob
ably less serious on apple trees than
on some other fruits. 1t appears to be
more destructive on peaches than on
apples. 1t is very destructive to bush
berries, especially red raspberries, and
in some parts of this country has
caused this industry to be abandoned

MESMERIZED
A Poisonous Drug still Freely Used.

Many people are brought up to be-
lieve that coffee is necessity of life,
and the strong hold that the drug,
caffeine, in coffee has on the sys-
tenn makes it hard to loosen its grip
even when one realizes its injurious
effects.
A lady writes: 81 had used coffee
for years; it seemed one of the ne
cessities Of life. A few months ago
my health, which had been slowly fail.
ing, became more impaired, and /
knew that unless relief came from
some source would soon be a physi-
cal wreck.
81 was weak and nervous, had sick
headaches, no ambition, and felt tired
of life. My husband was also losing
his health. He was troubled so much
with indigestion that at times he could
eat only few mouthfuls.
Finally we saw Postum advertised
and bought a package. followed d.
rections for making carefully, and

II gained FIVE pounds in weight in

Deputy State Treasurer Frank Ger
man has to sign his name to every
state check and each check has TO be
countersigned by Hoyt Woodman,
cashier in the Office of the state treas
urer.
AS a general rule these two men
sign their names to approximately 65,,
900 checks issued by the state which
total during the course of a year about
$4,000, 900. However, they will sign
approximately 10000 state checks this
year as the refunding of the automo-
bile fees as the result of the new law
being declared unconstitutional. Near
ly $4,000 licenses were issued under
the law providing for a tax per horse
power before the statute was declared
unconstitutional and all money in ex-
cess of SO had to be returned. AS a
result Deputy German and Cashier
Hoyt had to sign their name $4,000
times more than in the course of an
ordinary years business.

Pruning cooseberry Bushes.

Gooseberry requires less pruning
than almost any other fruit bearing
bush. There are growers who succeed
in getting large crops of gooseberries
without any pruning whatever. Where
the branches are too thick. which sell
dom occurs, portion of them can
be cut out, but IL all the old wood
is cut out it will interfere with the
immediate fruiting of the bushes
When in doubt about any kind Of
pruning, do not prune at all.

Always strong peace advocate,
Governor Ferris is unalterably OPP

1t is extremely doubtful whether the
next legislature will approve a new
compilation of the state statutes at
the coming session. At the session
two years ago, two commissioners
were appointed, one to revise the
laws and the other to annotate and
compile.
Before the commission of which
Edmund G. Shields is chairman can
complete its compilation. il will first
be necessary for the next legislature
to take action on the revision of the
statutes. The latter commission has
submitted its report to Governor Fer
ris and its adoption will necessitate
the changing OF about 5000 sections
of the present compilation. In all
probability the compilation will be
complete after the coming session has
completed its work and will be pre-
scented for ratification at the assembly
in 1917.

SENATOR FOSTER WANTS ELL
Passed FOR STATE OFFICE
BUILDING.
$1,000 NOW PAID FOR RENT
Public Domain Commission Hold
Meeting and Arrange to Take
Over Affairs of State Land
Commission.
by Gurd M. l1ayes.l

Lansing-Charles w. Foster of Lans-
ing, the newly-elected state senator
from the fourteenth district will ia
Their a bill at the next session of the
Legislature calling for an appropriation
for the purpose of constructing state
Office building on one OF the vacant
city blocks owned by the state.
For years the need of a new state
building or an addition to the present
capitol has been recognized and Sen
ator Fostor is determined TO make
fight for an appropriation that will
relieve conditions. With the creation
of new boards and commissions, the
capitol building which was big enough
to accommodate all the state depart
ments when il was erected in 1872,
has been outgrown and at the present
time state officers are located in a
dozen different office buildings in the
city of Lansing.
Senator Foster has gathered sta
tistlcs showing that the state pays an
nually the sum of $4,000 for Office
rent in the city of Lansing. The
state tax commission is located in the
City National Bank building. The
Oakland building provides quarters for
the railroad commission and the state
game warden's department. The in
dustrial accident board and a part OF
the insurance department IS located
in the Tussing building. The board
of health and live stock sanitary COM
mission have offices in the Prudden
building and several of the justices of
the supreme court have Offices in the
Capitol National Bank building.
The old building at the corner of
Washington avenue and Allegan
street, in the very heart of the bust
ness district, quarters the laboratory
of the state board of health, state
highway department, geological sur
vey, dairy and food commission, la
Dor commission and state military de-
partment.
If the legislature should decide TO
erect a new state building on one of
the vacant lots the property which
the state owns at the corner of Wash
ington avenue and Allegan street
could be sold for considerable sum.

Members of the state board Of
health favor an appropriation for the
purpose OF establishing a branch lab
oratory in the upper peninsula and
the next legislature will be asked to
provide an appropriation so that this
plan may be carried into effect II is
claimed that many upper peninsula
physicians send diphtheria swabs to
Madison, Wis, for examination as a
report of the analysis can be obtained
more quickly from Madison than from
Lansing. Secretary Burkart of the
board of health is heartily in favor Of
this plan, but 1t will require an addi-
tional appropriation. At meeting
here Friday afternoon the state board
of health declared in favor OF a bill
licensing chiropodists and II is ex-
pected that this measure will cover
lady manicurists.

Final arrangements for turning the
state land department over to the
public domain commission were COM
pleted at a meeting of the public

lie domain commission and Glen r.

commission. Coleman c. Vaughan
succeeds Martindale as secretary of
state January l and the st. Johns
man will occupy Martindale's position

Gov. Ferris created somewhat of
surprise here Saturday when he gave
out the information that he would re-
appoint Cassius l.. Glasgow of Nash.
Vile, member of the state railroad
commission.
That Mr.. Glasgow's appointment
was assured was known here several
days ago, but the governors action
was not expected so soon. The term
of Mr.. Glasgow's appointment depends
largely on whether the legislature
this coming session passes public
utilities bill or not
In the event 1t does the public utili-
ties commission will undoubtedly be
composed of five members and in all
likelihood the governor would reap
point the three present members of
the commission. Chairman Lawton T.
Hemans and Commissioners Glasgow
and Cunningham
In the event the public utilities bill
does not become law, Glasgow's APP
pointment is good for six years at
an annual salary of $4,000. The pro-
posed public utilities bill will pro-
vide, however, for a larger salary.
Mr. Glasgow was first appointed
member of the railroad commission
Sept. 2S. 1907, and has served ever
since. The law provides that not
more than two commissioner OF the
same political party shall serve at
any one time and inasmuch as Mem
hers Hemans and Cunningham arc
