PRAISES SAGINAW
COUNTY ALFALFA

Expert From Department of Agri-
culture Declares It Fully up to
Standard.
Captain w. F. A. Smith, who is con.
nected temporarily with the United
States department of agriculture, is
visiting the different field men with a
view of getting information for the re-
organization of the work and has spent
the past two days in Saginaw county.
Yesterday he and County Agriculturist
Earl P. Robinson visited several parts
Of the county, spending the afternoon
in and about Chesaning. They saw
many fields of alfalfa and inspected 10
or 10 quite carefully. Capt. Smith pro-
nounced alfalfa in Saginaw county fully
up to the standard and expressed no
doubt of its successful growing here on
large scale. His opinion has special
weight because he is practical farmer
He conducted farm of 5000 acres in
Iowa and had 1000 acres of alfalfa. He
expressed the opinion that alfalfa could
be grown here fully as we'll as in Iowa.
There are at present about 1,500 acres
of alfalfa in this county and plans have
been made by the Saginaw County
Farm Bureau for an alfalfa campaign
during next month for the purpose of
largely increasing the present acreage.
A large number of meetings to be held
during five days early in June are being
arranged for by committee. Among
the speakers at these meetings will be

Board of Review Adiourns.

The board of review completed the
years examination and equalization of
the 1915 tax roll Thursday, after nine
days of work. with the full membership
of eight present practically all the time
A large number of minor changes were
made, some property put Cd the roll,
including railroad land used for private
purposes, few pieces were taken off
entirely because the tax delinquent
against the property is more than the
value The principal loss was the
Owosso Carriage & Sleigh Co.'S personal
tax of about $85, 600. The largest gain
was the American Malleables Co. per-
sonal of about $4,000.

no 'iday, the other set would insist
on keeping open. If one element cut
out trading stamps, the other would
put them in. Merchants would sign
agreements circulated by the Board
of Trade and then violate them.
The city referred to has very un-
usually good transportation facilities
and highly central position. Yet,
somehow 1t does not grow much.
Probably this spirit Of disunion Is the
great obstacle in its path. Nothing
can be accomplished in the way OF
town promotion unless there is
cordial union of all interests.
No business man likes to move into
a town where there Is discord. It Is
disheartening to all trying to do pub
lie work to find that their efforts are
not backed up by all elements. When
any business organization is formed
the majority should rule. The min
ority will do far better to sink their
own individual ideas and quit throw
ing sand into the machine.

TOWN PROMOTION mo. A.

A Board of Trade man was asked
by the writer of these articles what
was the biggest obstacle he had to
meet in his efforts to boom his town.
He replied by giving a fragment of
personal experience:
THE first thing | took up when /
begun on this job he said, was the
matter OF losses by our merchants

simple little system by which the
merchants were to report to me

Of the merchants were making these
reports which they had agreed TO
give me. Yet had a reason to be
lieve that they were losing nearly
FIVE per cent on their sales through
bad debts.
Finally / asked one merchant why
he had sent me no such names as he
had promised to give me. He re
piled that after he had lost hun

TWO KINDS OF
INVENTORS

An event of national interest &C.
Cured the other night In New York,
when the Civic Forum presented
gold medal to Thomas A. Edison.
The world is full of inventors. But
comparatively few of them are able
to translate their scientiHs ideas into
thoroughly practical form. They
are typically tribe of creatures
something like artists and poets.
One thinks of them as wearing long
hair, living in squalid tenements,
dreaming over half made machines,
meanwhile their families live on their
relations.
The inventor Is not apt to be a
practical business man. He may
get his idea into practicable and
workable form, But he Is as the
babe In the woods when he gets
down in the market among the bust.
ness men. With child like innocence
he trusts the plausible promoter.
With faith that humanity is as kind
| ly as he has found the laws OF ma.
ture, he subscribes to involved con-
tracts. In later years he wakes up
to find that the traders and the fac
tories have gathered the cream, leav-
ing him but meager leavings OF skim
milk.
1t is rare that diverse gifts are
concentrated in one man. When ma
ture gifts person with genius for
creating new appliances, she is apt
to leave him bereft of common sense
in every day relations. The world ia
full Of instances of inventors who
conferred inestimable benefits on
mankind, yet who died amid scenes
of poverty.
Mr.. Edison is not OF that kind. He
has the supreme gift of taking the
scientific dreams OF the age, and sc
realizing them that they fit into the
kitchen and the picture theater and
the factory. His humming factory
with 5000 people dependent on reg.
ular pay roll from his steady prod.
uct, shows the many sided nature
of the man.

REFORMING THE
WOMEN'S PAGES

An effort to improve the women's
pages in newspapers is reported at
the national convention of Young Wo-
mems Christian Associations, held
the past week at Los Angeles. The
National Board of this organization
disapproves of the love and beauty
copy which constitutes so large a
| share of the typical Woman's page.
II proposes to offer in its place NOR
ally uplifting articles.
Any effort to improve the newspa-
per press of the country is always
welcomed by newspaper men and the
public. But 1t must be practical.
Nothing would please the editor bet
ter than to fill his pages with arti-
cles on the True, the Good, and the
Beautiful, II the public demanded it.
But 1t Is to be feared that a newspa.
per Of that character would not be
able to pay the salaries of its work
ing force or the cost of its type.
~ 10 the popuidi Seltiintut tudt u
woman must make herself personal
ly attractive. Her wealthy cousins
leave II all to the dressmaker and
the milliner and the beauty doctor,
and needs no newspaper advice. But
the woman on a moderate allowance
or wage must cut great many cor
ners to make herself decently pre-.
sentable. The newspaper tells her
how to do It.
Also the newspaper Is practically
a school in domestic science. It
prints a great many articles showing
how women can make themselves
more efficient in household tasks.
The old monks proverb said, ITO
work is to pray" No labor Is no
bier, none better worth studying,
than the processes of daily home
life.
1t Is probably true that the aver
age womans page is rather below the
average woman's intelligence. There
is plenty Of room for improvement
along the line where the National
Y. w. C.. A. is looking. Much less
might be said about compilations.
and much more about babies and food
sanitation and women's work as
teachers and in business positions.

TRANSATLANTIC TRAVEL
IN WAR TIMES

The sinking of that gorgeous com
bination of speed, science and luxury,
the steamship Lusitania will put a
stop to nearly all transatlantic tour
list travel until the war Is over. A
good many Americans who travel OF
ten in Europe have been itching to
get across and feel the thrill of war
scenes. They must see now that any
such trip. with the fiends OF hell
loose on the ocean, is an act OF folly
The French people have been try
ing to encourage tourists to come ov-
er this year. No doubt they have
hoped to relieve little of the war
time poverty by some renewal OF the
golden stream from our shores. But
it would be a most lugubrious time
to visit even sections secluded from
sights and sounds Of war, and even
were 1t safe.
People who have business in Eur
ope will still go down to the sea In
ships. Perils never stopped man
kind in the chase for dollars. There
will be passing back and forth OF
secretive and impenetrable agents,
who are arranging between the sew
eral parties for the delivery of war
contracts.
Only small part OF the ships that
cross the seas can be attacked and
those that have speed may usually
get away. But other passenger ships
will go down. The crossing Is
task for those determined and care
less hearts who don't mind playing a
little gambling stake with death.
As for the annual host that travels
across the seas. they should rest
content on this side OF the water,
glad OF a land where industry, peace,
and plenty prevail over the men OF
war. Better Is the humblest shack
in the wild wood than the most gor-
geous suite de luxe on the best trans
Atlantic liner. Demented Europe
is adding indefinitely to the collec-
ton OF ruins, with which In few
years they will be gathering an in.
creased harvest from our globe trot-
tiers. Until then, America for us!

State, county and township gov.

nearly $3.50, 10000 for good roads in
1914 alone. In the past two years
the single state Of California has ap.
propriated $1s,OOO,OOO for the inn

the country the good roads movement

propriating time and money to the
cause. And possibly one OF the
greatest contributions in point Of at
tual benefit to those using the nigh
ways, is that Of the 3. 2. Goodrich
Company of Akron, Ohio.
During the past. four years the II
F. Goodrich Company has maintained
a National Touring Bureau which has
marked nearly 10000 miles If the
best roads in America with perma
nent and attractive blue and white
enamel guide posts. These markers
point the way to nearest towns and
warn of danger points and are erect
cd by three truck crews which are
maintained during the greater part
of the year. AS a further service,
the Goodrich Touring Bureau also
furnishes motorists with accurate
road logs between all points without
charge or obligation.
Within few years, vita such con
certed and constructive work as this,
II IS believed that American roads will
outrival the best that Europe has
Toasted.
