HAS new PLAN TO.
AID BEEF SUPPLY
Legislation Urged to Stop Sale Of
Calves Under Nine Months

Detroit Mich. July 14.-Beef will
continue To be a luxury SO long as
Michigan farmers continue to regard
the killing of calves "A necessity, ac-
cording to James Slocum, Cleaner edi-
tor and executive and one of the most
prominent agricultural authorities in
the state.
The rising meat prices, and the
packers promises of additional add
vances have projected the steer into
the lmeight Mr.. Slocum goes back
of the packers cry that the farmer
is not raising enough beef, and points
To the slaughter of calves.
To remedy this famine practice he
says well organized movement is
under way to secure legislation pro-
hibiting the marketing of calves for
veal under nine months.
"A law preventing farmers from
marketing calves under nine months
will make very material difference
in the meat supply" Mr.. Slocum said.
The farmers themselves will fall
in line with this program. 1t is not
possible to kill calves and raise steers
from them at the same time. The
slaughter of veal has diminished the
total beef production greatly.
MANY farmers have been killing
their calves at four or five weeks
for the immediate profit. A people
cannot be veal eaters and beef eaters
at the same time, nor can farmers
meet the demand for cattle if they
have cashed their quick profits on
four weeks calves.
Michigan is not raising enough
beef. This is obvious after going
over the farms of the state. 1t costs
heavily to feed the calf until "A beeve
is produced, so the farmer shortons
into veal. But this is suicidal in the
long run. 1t is shortsighted.
The farmers will not oppose gem
eral program for raising the veal
limit. 1t is not possible to. prevent
a farmer killing n calf for his own
purpose at four or five weeks, but il
is possible to prohibit his marketing
it. Nine months should be the limit
This would greatly increase the sup
ply of meat.
THE total difference between the
veal of the state at four weeks and
that of beef at nine months would
be enormous. 1t would have "a marked
for sending an aeroplane off
from a warship at full flight. This
effect on the supply and on the price
to the consumer.
Legislation looking to this end
will undoubtedly be forthcoming at
the next session of the Legislature. as
a definite program has been formulat-
ed by interested stockraisers."

HIGHER BEEF? OF COURSE.

The announcement that beef will be
higher will surprise no one. only a
declaration that the packers would
lower prices would have occas!oned
more than passing attention.
Admitting that there will be an enor-
nous grain crop as they have to admit
il, the packers point to the fact that
a very dry season. with its inevitable
effect on grazing lands, has more than
offset the grain yield Moreover, there
are fewer cattle this year than last be-
cause of last years dry season. In
other words. drought for two years
makes it probable that soup bones will
be in great demand next fall by those
who like the taste of beef, but cannot
afford to buy steaks or roasts.
The demand for beef still exceeds
the supply, in spite of high prices, in
spite Of importations, and in spite Of
the fact that the housekeeping columns
of the papers and magazines are eX-
planning all the time how easy and in
expensive it is to substitute something
just as good in such a manner that
members of the family who don't visit
the kitchen won't know the difference.
Heads of families whose incomes
have not risen with the price 70 meats

pert assurances that the problem Of

Dynamite Was First Used

nitro glycerin factory had blown up

death toll was such that ENGLAND. Bel
GUM and Sweden forbade its manu-
facture. The world was aroused when
as climax To its record a ship loaded
with nitro glycerin blew up in mid
ocean while on its way from Europe
To Chilli, and the governments were on
the point of prohibiting it's use. II was
then that Nobel began his experiments
toward tanning nitro glyCerin-and
created dynamite. or giant powder"
as it was first called in the United
States. In his worldwide propaganda
to convince governments that dynamite
was a safe explosive, the inventor
came To America. II was while he was
registering at small hotel in New
York that he casually exclaimed to the
hotel clerk that his satchcl contained
dynamite, The clerk firmly ordered
Nobel To seek other quarters and was
relieved when he went out of the door.

Today dynamite Is being manufac-
tured i'm the United States at the rate
of 250,000.00O pounds year. Filling
5000 freight cars, il is constantly be-
ing transported over the railroads OF
the country. Though il is the third
most powerful explosive in general
use ii has been tanned so that railroa1
companies receive IL for transportation
almost as readily as they do coal Nit
ro-glycerin, however, is still under the
States and Europe. Dynamite is today
one of the most important factors in
the progress of civilization. Without IL
the mighty engineering achievements
the Panama Canal, the mountain
and river tunnels-could not be ac-
complshed. 1t takes an important part
in building the modern skyscrapers; il
Is used To mine the necessary huge
quantities Of iron and other metals
that enter into structures. 1t blasts
out the millions Of tons of coal that
supply heat, light and power, and give
life To the locomotives that bring food
ana clothing To the populace of cities.
1t is helping 10 grow the food we eat
the modern scientific farmer uses it
to pillow his land, it's explosions shat

crops greatly in quality and at by so
per cent in quantity. Today dynamite
is used to fight great CONGREGATIONS to
fight wars and To prepare for large

A. CANINE.

Hats off to A. Canine of Osceola
township. He is in a class by himself;
he stands alone: he only has the right
to live in his domain, TO sniff the air
contemporary; he is an aristocrat of
the highest order.
His dogshp's tax has been paid. In
cluded in the Osceola school boards

head of receipts:

We sincerely hope the money will
be wisely expended. But inasmuch as
"A dollar will not 90 very far in the
cause of education why not utilize 1t
for some recognition of the Importance
of this lordly dog, the only one, ii
seems, worthy of the payment of the
tax? Why not buy him a beefsteak?
1t would be choice morsel, strictly in
keeping with his aristocratic blood.
And the dollar would just about cover
the cost.

These Indians were attached to the

Their acres were taken from them
by the simple process of requiring
them to prove title. This they could

TO DEVELOP BIG
AERIAL FLEET
Ssc'y Daniels Proposes to Put U,
S. Navy In the Lead

Washington. July 1.-THE aeronau-
teal station ship Mississippi has been
ordered To Pensacola. Fla, for perma =
nent duty, To the average layman IL
means little or nothing. To the navy
and To the scientists engaged in the
study of aerial navigation il is of tre-
mcndous significance.
The United States government will
begin at once the development of n
modern fleet of aerial war craft, able
To navigate through the air at rate
OF speed of forty-five miles and better
per hour and ride the water at almost
the same speed. These airships will
be equipped with many of the modern
appliances of the modern super
dreadnaughts of the navy such as
range finders and signalling appara-
tus They also will carry bomb drop
ping devices.
At the present time the United
States is far behind every other fore
ign power in the development of the
air craft for military purposes. 1t IL
the purpose of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and Captain Washington l.,
Chambers, the father of aviation in
the navy, to put the American navy
ahead of the world, both in the science
Of aerial navigation and in the actual
and practical use of the aeroplane in
military operations.
Train Many Aviators.
While the United States has been
slow i'm developing a naval air fleet, II
has not been slow i'm the training of
aerial navigators. either in the army
or the navy there are number of
high-class and fearless air pilots.
Among these Lieut.. John II. Towers is
the foremost. He has been in charge
of the navy aviation school at Annap-
oils for more than three years, work
ing directly under Captain Chambers.
Lieutenant Towers will move the
aviation school from Annapolis to
Pensacola and there work with the
Mississippi. Lieutenant Commander
II. c. Muslin will have charge of the
aeronautical work aboard the Missis-
sippi and will work i'm conjunction
with Lieutenant Towers Capt. Mark
l.. Bristol Of The navy has been as
signed to aeronautical duty in the
navy department with Captain Cham
bers. He will aid in the development
of the plans for the creation of an
aerial fleet.
AS Captains Chambers and Bristol
work out theories, Lieutenant Tow
ers and Lieutenant Commander Mus
tin will apply them practically The
Mississippi will be used for the pur-
pose of making test flights from bat
tleships. These test flights will in
clude the dispatchinG of hydroaero-
plane from the deck of the Mississippi
and of receiving it aboard the vessel
and the working out of a plan for car
rying and storing a number of hydro
aboard the battleships.
These tests will be made under all
weather and speed conditions.
Danger Involved.
These experiments will involve dan
ger, but the men taking it up are en-
thusiastic and impatient for the work
to begin.
Captain Chambers has developed a
so far, has proved success
full.
The work Of the aeronauts will not
be confined to hydro-aeroplancs. There
will be experiments with dirigible bal
looms, too.
II is not the purpose Of the navy de-
partment to ask congress for any fund
