MARCH

We used to say that if March came in
like lion it would go out like lamb.
Revised version: If March approaches
like suffragette it will die as calmly
as the husband Of one.
But, taking her by and large, March
is some month. She is just like wild,
gleeful girl, scampering hither and you
with no one even imagining what to
expect of her next. Her changing skies
her warmth and cold, will most of us
with grippe enfold. She tantalizes with
her smiles and from our winter clothes
beguiles us til we take them off, and
then she makes us hike 'em on again.
She bids the sleeping daisies come and
bask beneath her soothing sun, but
scarcely have they left their beds until,
with frost, she nips their heads.
Among important events credited to
the month was the invention of the
circular saw, in 1880, since which time
the number of fingers have decreased
prorata with the increase of population.
A circular saw probably is as reckless
and inconsiderate apparatus as was
ever placed before a trusting workman.
Feed anything into it and it will wade
through with song of wild delight.
They seem, however, to be especially
fond of nipping the loose ends of ones
anatomy.
Stenography, too, was invented in
March-1S17. We have seen stenogra-
piers who looked like they might have
been invented before their machines,
but of course we didn't mention it to
them. Stenography is a wonderful
thing for the busy business man as long
AS he does not permit its wonders to de-
tain him at the office after business
hours.
The possession of Alaska is another
worthwhile event credited to March.
Uncle Sam bought Alaska for paltry
seven million dollars, and now anyone
can go up there and kick that much
gold out of any mountain side. The
great drawback to going to Alaska to
accumulate wealth is that you cannot
bring it back with you. 1t costs more
gold than any man can carry to buy
ticket back to the United States. And,
since there are no movies or baseball
games in Alaska, one cannot spend his
wealth while abiding there, so for the
present it probably will be just as we'll
to remain at home and see how much
money you can accumulate for the tax
collector.

VIOLATORS OF
FOOD AND DRUGS ACT
DRAW HEAVY PENALTIES

Conspiracy on the part Of two or
more people to violate the food and
drugs act and other Federal statutes
has recently brought heavy fines,
coupled with the loss of citizenship, to
certain dealers. In certain case, the
department has lately cooperated with
another Federal department in bring
ing a criminal action and in helping to
secure the conviction of prominent
coffee merchant and shipping agent
for conspiracy to violate the food and
drugs act, involving the shipment OF
coffee in interstate commerce from New
York to the West. In these cases the
two defendants were each fined $1,000
and by reason of their conviction of
felony lost their citizenship under the
provisions of New York statute.
In another action in cooperation with
the Customs Service, the department
was of assistance in the proceedings
that resulted in the imposition of fine
of $5, 900 in the Massachusetts, Federal
court on one defendant engaged in
tampering with revenue import stamps
and selling domestic liquors as import
ed. A second defendant is now await
ing sentence. In two other jurisdic-
tions, the department assisted in pro-
curing the indictment for conspiracy to
violate the food and drugs act of
number of egg handlers who have been
illegally shipping spoiled eggs in inter-
state commerce for food purposes.
In number of other cases, especially
concerning drug matters and the pre-
vention of the sale of worthless so-call-
ed curative devices, the department
has cooperated with the Post Office
authorities in bringing actions and Sc
curing convictions for violations of the
postal laws involving misuse of the
mails.

Landslide for
Miss Stewart
Carries Nearly Every Precinct
In CharIevOix County.

A primary election at its best is more
or less Of gamble and even the most
sanguiEA sri.ids of Miss May L.Stewart
candidate Or School Commissioner,
little dreamed of the enormous majority
she would receive at the primary elec-
tion held last Wednesday. She carried
nearly every precinct in Charlevoix
county by good majorities, even each
of the four wards of Boyne City, which
were conceded to Mr.. Kaden, giving
Miss Stewart lead in each ward.
The writer believes the vote will
show, when duly canvassed, that Miss
Stewart received the largest majority
of any candidate who ever ran against
opposition at primary in Charlevoix
county. Supt. Oracle Of Boyne Falls.
one OF the five candidates received
about twenty votes in the entire county
Probably no other candidate ever put
up the intense campaign that Miss
Stewart did, and she is to be congratu-
lated.
In the fight for County Road Commits
sioner, Oakley D. Hammond has prob
ably won out by small majority over
Joseph Courier. The race was close
and it may take the County Canvassers
to decide the winner

LANDSCAPE GARDENS.

With the approach of Spring,
wouldn't it be great thing for our
town if the majority of citizens would
determine to do little landscape gar
dening this year?
What if every home should remove
any unsightly shrubbery that may
have been permitted to grow in their
yards or along boulevards and replace
it with really attractive plants!
All of us could do this, and we feel
sure we should be glad for it after the
passing of few months had shown us
the improved appearance of our streets
and lawns.
The writer knows of towns where
the citizens in certain blocks engage a
gardener by the season, each resident
in several blocks contributing a small
sum toward his salary. In this way a
sufficient amount can be raised to pay
a man for giving his entire attention to
the law ms and boulevards of that dis
trict, and when this is done, all of them
are neat and clean at all times.
Two days work each month through
the summer will keep almost any yard
and adjoining boulevard in condition.
Our civic pride should force us to give
them this much attention.

A Logical Objection

+. Irving Fletcher, at dinner of
advertising men at the Ritz Carlton in
New York, said:
"There is only one logical objection
to advertising, and that is the one off
cred by Joe Doolittle of the Cinnamin-
son general store.
4" Joe, why don't you advertiser"
said the editor of the Cinnamonson
Scimitar
Because I'm agin' advertisin" Joe
answered firmly.
But why, Joe are you against it?
said the editor.
1T don't leave a man no time,
said Joe. Il advertised wunst in 80
and the consequence wuz, didn't have
time to go fishin' by crinus, till arter
McKinley's second election in 1900"
There are some things levelheaded
human being should never do. Among
these is to kindle the fire with kero-
sene oil, to walk on railroad track or
attempt to get on moving train, to
point gun or revolver at another, to
put his name on another mans note to
keep his savings in stocking under
the bed, to play game of chance with
a prepossessing stranger, to run for
office when he has paying position in
private life, to call a bigger man than
himself liar, or to advertise if you do
not mean to back up the advertisement

The Michigan Audubon Society

The Michigan Audubon Society urges
you to feed your bird neighbors. They
find cold and deep snow bad, but sleet
still worse, as it locks up their food
supply. Nail FRESH beef or pork
rinds on bushes and trees; clear away
snow and scatter all kinds of crumbs,
nuts, seeds and grains on the ground
Our Society is organized to protect
our birds which are worth untold
millions to our farms, forests and
orchards. Help us by sending your
dollar membership fee to Gertrude
Reading, Secretary-Treasurer, Hart,
Michigan.
However, a man may not be married
and still have his troubles.
There are lots of good things in this
world Are we one of them?
A poor excuse is better than none
if it passes muster with the boss.
