prietor of the Spinney sanitarium and
who has been a practicing physician
for fifty years, giving lectures and
demonstrations in nearly every city

FARMERS AND HOME
MAKERS SCHOOL

A school of farmers and home max
ers will be held at Swanton during the
week of March S-12. This school is
the result of community work and re-
fleets credit to the progressive spirit
of the people in and around Swanton.
They have secured specialists from
the College of Agriculture to give in
structions and demonstration in the
subject of Soil Fertility, Farm Crops,
Poultry Raising, Dairying, and Home
Economics. If the farmers of any
community are able to maintain the
fertility of the soil and, at the same
time produce large crops, they may
well be proud of their work. There
are few farms for sale in such a
neighborhood; those few are readily
sold at good price and the newcomer
usually considers himself lucky at
finding such favorable location. The
study and discussion of these subjects
as will undoubtedly take place at this
school cannot result otherwise than
good for the community. Such a
school is certainly boost to the COM
munity, an opportunity for the farm
err to secure first-hand and high
grade instruction in various lines, and
undoubtedly will result in better fu-
ture for the community.
Make a note of the date, talk the
school over with your neighbor, hunt
up a member of the Membership Com
mittee of the School, and purchase q
full-week ticket.

sIJRPRISED AND GAINED.

When a man gets to be eighty one
years of age, retains good health and
mental faculties it is no easy matter
to surprise him; but that fact was
accomplished by Losure Post, G. A.
R. and the Woman's Relief Corps last
Saturday afternoon. John c.. Rorick
commander of the Associate members
of the Post reached the eighty first
milestone on the road Of life and was
celebrating the event by attending
Post meeting. John C. is hale and
hearty and enjoys associating with
"The Boys of the Grand Army; he
has assisted in Gaming" and seating
and "chaining" number of them and
the "boys" made up their minds to
pay him back in his own coin. The
ladies were also waiting for an oppor-
tunity to "feed him up" and so the
plans were laid without Mr.. Rorick's S
suspicious being aroused. At the
conclusion of the Post meeting Sat
urday afternoon Associate Rorick was
taken into custody by "The Boys
and Associate, J. B. Templeton was
deputized to "talk to him" about his
conduct and a few other things. Mr..
Templeton performed this duty in
his usual happy manner and, in be-
half of the Post presented Mr.. Rorick
with a beautiful gold headed cane.
Mr.. Rorick was completely surpris-
ed, but there was more waiting for
him when he learned that the ladies
of the Relief Corps had prepared a
banquet which they proceeded to
serve and which proved that Mr..
Rorick still retained a good appetite.
There were thirty-seven men and
twenty-five ladies present, total of
sixty two, quite large birthday par
ty. Everybody present thoroughly
enjoyed the occasion and no one more
than Mr.. Rorick himself.

HONEST ELECTION LAW.

By vote of 100 to- the house of
representatives passed the Kramer
Honest Election Bill and it is now
before the Senate and it is to be hop
ed that this body viii pass this bill
and make it law without mutilating
by amendments so that it becomes
like some other legislation, only use
less lumber on the Statute books. The
Honest Elections Bill provides for a
recount of ballots in case of fraud OF
dishonesty in count, under State Re-
ferendum vote.
At the last election chages of gross
frauds and a dishonest count were
made and pretty well substantiated
but the Supreme Court held there was
no remedy at law for them. Certain
ly the General Assembly should pass
a law making it possible to rectify
such frauds and dishonesty.
The Kramer Bill provides for con.
testing Elections in case of fraud OF
vote buying so safe guarding the re.
count that action will not be started
unless there is ample ground. The
bill if it becomes law will act as q
preventive of frauds and dishonesty
in elections.

the first soldiers monument to be
erected in the United States, after the
conclusion of the Civil War. 1t is To-
Gated at Upton, in franklin Town
ship, Lenawee County, Michigan, just
north of Adrian. This monument
was erected and dedicated, July 4th,
1866, by the citizens of Franklin
township, in memory of those soldiers
residents of Franklin who died dur
ing the war. 1t is a shaft 33 feet
in height, and has on its base the fol-
lowing inscription "Union and Liber-
ty, one and inseparable, now and for
ever" Preserve the Union Of the
States, cemented by our prayers and
tears and our blood" Erected July
4th, 1866, by the citizens of Franklin
as a memorial to the brave and pa
triotic men who represented them in
battle and gave their lives in defense
of our country" These died that the
Nation might live, representing gov
erment be perpetuated and personal
rights secured" The cost of the
monument was built at cost of $1750

this township gave their lives during

Reighard and Senator C. C. Cass
asking them to support and vote for
the enactment of a law which will
permit the county commissioners Of
any county in the state to appropri-
ate sum of money from the general
fund OF the county, to aid in the erec-
ton, or the repair of county soldiers

built by popular subscriptions from
citizens of the county, upon county
property; but in no event shall the

for the completion of the fund and the
building of the monument before the

save time and expenses, also help
things along if those who have not as
yet paid their subscriptions will dc
so. Send the money to Miss Kathryn

BELG|UM RELIEF
Statement Setting Forth Exact Con-
ditions-Organization Has Interna-
tional Privilege of Sending Supplies
to Stricken Belgians-

Such confusion has been caused in
the public mind by various reports
emanating from New York regarding
European war relief work handled
from that point, that the Ohio Com
mission for the Relief of European
War Sufferers, through it's president,
E. D. Libbey of Toledo, has felt the
necessity of making a statement set
ting forth exact conditions.
"1he Ohio Commission for Relief of
European War Sufferers, he says,
works directly with the Commission
for Relief in Belgium, of which Lin
don w. Bates is chairman. This is the
only organization which has the in
ternational privilege of sending sup
plies directly to the stricken Belgian
people. This is the organization
through which all relief must be pass
ed, if it is to reach those for whom a
generous public designed it. This is
the organization which pays for the
transportation of all food stuffs from
any part of the United States to New
ork and the lfans-oce anic Shipment
after they have been gathered in New
York.
ain addition to these organizations,
but separate from them, is the Com
mittee of Mercy. This is a national
organization which solicits aid tor
war sufferers of every nation There
was also an organization known as
the Belgian Relief Commission, which
solicited cash only, and has collected
to the present time, almost 81 ,000, ,0On
Besides these two organizations, Ma
dame Van der Velde, wife of the Bel
gian Secretary of State, through .ec-
lures and personal solicitation has
raised in cash upwards of $250,000
All of this money was spent for sup
plies that were sent into Belgium
through the Commission of which Mr.
Bates is chairman.
"To the end that Ohio resource:
might be properly conserved the Ohit
Commission, acting on the unanimou!
judgment of it's executive committee
comprising a number of the leading
business men of the state, has dis
couraged any branch organization o.

the lives of hundreds of babies every
summer through free milk and ice
stations, and through baby tents.
One of the most thrilling films is
"The Price of Human Life" which was
produced by Thomas A. Edison in. co.
operation with the Society for the
/ prevention of tuberculosis. It shows
how thousands of consumptives lose
their lives annually by taking fake
cures for tuberculosis. 1t tells the

a drug concern which manufacture:
one of these fakes, and tenement
