REPORT TWO
BIG BATTLES
IN PROSPECT
Russians on Line Where
Commander Decides
To Make Stand

battles, it is believed, have already be-
gun or soon will! begin on the Russian
side of the East Prussian frontier and
the river Sereth in Bukowina. The
Russian forces have withdrawn both
in East Prussia and in Bukowina, in
the face of superior German and Aus
TRAN armies, so that they might be
enabled to concentrate and come into
closer touch with their lines of COM
munication.
Russians Prepared
The official report made only the
briefest reference to the operations at
these two extremes of the eastern
front. but what they do say indicates
that the Russians lave already reach
ed the lires on which Grand Duke
Nicholas has decided to give battle.
The rest of the campaign in the
East, even the fighting in the Carpath-
ians, which is proceeding under the
worst weather conditions is overshad-
owed by these greater events, on the
result of which both sides are stalk
ing so much.
Germans Claim Victory
The Garmans claim to have won a
Zig victory over the Russians in East
Prussia and the Austrians announce
Not ant N
Eukowina, but apparently Petrograd
views these incidents without mlsglV-
ing.
In the West there has been a con-
tinuation of heavy artillery lombard
ments, in which Rheims has again SUI
fered. and several infantry attacks on
different parts of the line. in which
both sides claim to have been success
full. From unofficial sources comes
the news that ST. Mihiel, on the Meuse,
which the Germans have held so long,
has come under fire of the French
guns, which shows that the French
have either made an advance in TINS
region or have brought up heavier
guns in an effort to dislodge the Ger
mans.
Quiet in Egypt
In Egypt, the. Caucasus and Meso-
potamia, there has either been no
fighting or engagements which the
boIIigerents do not consider worthy OF
mention in the official dispatches,
At sea the weather has been such
that naval operations are out Of the
question. The English coast has been
washed by tremendous seas for two
days past, with the result that a num-
Der Of ships have been wrecked and
considerable damage has been done at
several ports.
British Parliament
A good deal of interest is being
taken in the coming week proceedings
of the British parliament for tomor-
row David Lloyd George, chancellor of
the exchequer will make a statement
on the financial arrangements between
Great Britain, France and Russia, and
Winston Spencer Churchill. first lord
of the admiralty will review the naval
situation.
Later in the week the debate will
be continued on the increased cost of
the necessaries of life in connection
with which a number of meetings held
the country on Saturday
and Sunday have urged the govern
ment to take steps to control the sup
plies of food and the means for their

At the end of the week these storms

CHAPTER III.

"Well, Mr.. Brown" said Pete, "it
you're looking for Illinois land in this
here part of Michigan, you'd better
turn your eyes heavenward, for you'll
see it in heaven damn sight quicker
than you will on earth. l know about
ell the land there is in Newaygo coun-

"I've seen a number of fellers that

you please. They've got your money
and you'll never get it again. You've

shack, for l suppose that's the place
you've bought. Abe's wife died of
inconsistencies over there, more than a
year ago, and Abe's up at Traverse
City, in the insane asylum, and they
say he keeps atalkin' about how he'll
shoot the Teller that sold him that land
if he ever gets sight of him.
"He didn't have no money, but he
had lots of grit, and he tried to dig
out the grubs and stumps, and raise
enough potatoes to keep him alive

day, trying to earn enough money to
make his payments on his place.

mate them to male bird and confine
the pen during the Matching season.
! There is altogether too much
"fancy" in poultry literature and not
enough utility" Both are necessary,
as the mongrel tolerated by our
grandparents did not produce the re-
suits that the birds of today do. And
the same may be said, nor did the old
way of feeding produce the results,
as the methods of today, yet there are
many who follow the old practice of
our grandparents, simply because
they have not learned the more prac-
! teal way.
! The old-time step ladder roost, with
one round four or five feet from the
/, floor and the other lower until it takes
up a good share of the floor space
in the poultry house is thing Of the
past. 1t was found that in most all
cases that every fowl wanted the top
,'roost. Then too there was not the
chance for dropping board, and the
droppings were not cleaned so often;
also much humble foot and other all
ments were discovered, caused by the
fowls jumping from the top roost; it
did not permit fighting lice as does
the dropping board and fiat perch. If
you are using this old style, discard
it at once. 1t is like many an old-time
idea, it has had it's day and has cost
the farmers of this nation many hun
dred dollars. Don't continue in the
old-time way, but get in line and
make some of this money that the
American hen has and is capable of
producing if she has the right care
and feed.

has brought this Legislation proml-
nently before the people of Michigan.
1t would seem to me that our assOcia-
ltion ought to take some distinct &C
;tion at this convention on this ques-
,tion and hence | am calling to your
attention the Importance of the Sit
uation.
A road extending across a township
has some value it is true; it has an
Increased value, however. when it goes
across n county; it has considerable
more value when it extends across a
state and its value is infinitely more
than the road extending only across
"A township. There are many people
who seem to think, at least for the
purpose of argument, that the chief
use or value of through roads or
trunk lines would be the accommoda-
tiOn of long distance travellers; roads
primarily and principally intended for
the use of those who drive automO-
biIes for pleasure.
That such is not the case will be
apparent to anyone who gives the
subject even cursory consideration.
The road between two principal cities
must of necessity be the main trav-
elIed road, not only between the ter
mini, but also between each interme-
diate point and either terminus.
State lines and county lines may
not be considered in connection with
a main highway. Not only are the
cities and country districts through
which main highway extends con-
tributing their share-by far the
greatest portion of the travel, but the
adjacent communities for miles on
either side utilize the main highway.
These facts are demonstrated by the
experience of state or other through
or trunk lines which have been con-
structed within the last ten years. A
person living ten or fifteen miles off
Il well built road, desiring to visit
another point forty or fifty miles
away and of equal distance from the
good roads, will invariably travel the
additional distance for the sake of
covering the major portion of his
travel on the good road. There are
many reasons for this, the main road
always runs through the most thickly
settled and prosperous region. The
principal cities and villages are along
its route, it usually has the best
grades. Generally the roads leading
to the main road, being feeders, and
furnishing the readiest outlet for
products, are given more attention
and kept in better condition than
those which are parallel to it few
miles away. Custom settled that
years ago, when main roads were
either country roads or a succession
of county roads, some bad, and some
worse. Necessarily, main road re-
ceiving its travel from points and
