when the war came on and interrupted
the course of business, EN- mbargoes
were put on meat exports to countries
other than Great Britain and its allies. 4"
The trade, therefore, was much de-
pressed at the years close. The absence
of refrigerated tonnage, owing to the
demands of the war for troop ships,
seriously affected it, and even canned
goods space in ships to Great Britain
was materially courtailed. Mr. Bray
notes that the Australian States are
considering legislation still further re-
stricting meat exports and it is there
fore out of the question for Australian
meat exporters to pay any further
practical attention to the American
market at present. Two hundred
million pounds of fresh meat was i'm
ported into this country during the Z
months of 1914 preceding the war,
Australia then standing third on the
list and just getting limbered up. All
will agree with Sherman's S definition of
war, but the European horror has done
much to shield the farmers of this coun-
try from free trade purgatory.

Preventing Odors from Kitchen

Cabbage, that worst of all offenders,
will not smell if a piece of bread or
charcoal is laid upon the top.
Onions must be drowned out by US
ing another odor. Powdered cedar
wood is the best thing for this. Sprinkle
just pinch upon the range and let it
burn. That's all that is necessary. If
onions are peeled under water, or held
under running tap, they will not
smell, nor will they smart the eyes.
Fish smells may be eliminated by
sprinkling the range within spluttering
distance, with layer of salt. When
the frying is done, sweep the salt into
the fire. The salt absorbs the greese,
and prevents the smell.
After cleaning fish, remove the smell
from your hands by rubbing dry mus
tard upon them.
Boiling over smells can only be pre-
vented in one way: BY not filling the
cooking vessel quite so full.

were fun.

Some folks look upon themselves as
liberal citizens because they never have

Even from the foolish person you can
learn something's nothing more than
how not to act and what not to do.

Whether you are shoplifter or a

When we see woman taking in

a mistake in the old saying about man
being the noblest work of God.
DON laugh too much about folks who
chatter about the weather and kindred

about that they aren't talking of some
thing else that they might injure.
When man gets careless about leav-

To Celebrate
the Fourth
Mass Meeting of Citizens Favor
able to the Plan.

In response to call by Mayor Cross,
about thirty of our business and pro-
fessional men met at the city office
rooms Monday night to talk over the
proposed matter. Everyone present
was favorable to celebration and a
committee consisting of Messrs w. c.
Spring, Carl Stroebel and M. 8. Berger
were appointed to find just what our
citizens would do in the matter of
financing the project. The committee
to report at an adjourned meeting next
Monday night at the same place and
hour
East Jordans military organization
Company X-is willing to take charge
of the details and it seems that it will
be comparatively easy matter to raise
an amount sufficient to put on first
class celebration. '. .
Be at the meeting next Monday night
and lend your aid in pushing the matter
as the time is getting limited.

Company X
Meets
Requirements
Had Sixty-eight Men for In
- q spectiOn. Wednesday.

Wednesday was a red-letter day for
Company X in spite Of the downpour OF
rain that evening, for on that occasion
they were officially inspected by the
State Department for admission into
the Michigan National guard and met
the requirements.
Whether or not the State Military
Board acts favorably upon the applica-
ton of Company X for admission into
the National Guard our soldier boys
have the satisfaction of knowing that
they had both the number of men and
the other qualifications when called up
on to produce. And not alone that,
but every citizen of our city is back of
the organization.
On Wednesday noon Major M. j.
Phillips, Adjutant General of the Michi-
gan National Guard and head OF the
State Military Board paid East Jordan
an official visit, his mission being to
inspect Company X and report his find
ings to the other four members OF the
Board. The number required by the
State is sixty-five and when inspection
was called that evening, sixty-eight
men were in line.
Major Phillips was both surprised
and pleased at the showing made. He
stated that the Company had made
great progress since his inspection here
last summer, and that in no city having
a National Guard company was the
favorable sentiment among the busi-
ness men so strong as he found it in
East Jordan.
East Jordans competitor for National
Guard honors is Battle Creek, and
naturally larger city would be looked
upon more favorably. The State Military
Board gave the citizens of Battle Creek
until June first to bring their company
up to requirements, but they have fail
ed to do so, East Jordan having larger
membership. And again the sentiment
among the business men of Battle Creek
Is merely passive, while our citizens
are back of our military organization to
a man.
just what the final decision of the
State Military Board will be is ques-
ton, but there is no doubt but what
Major Phillips found at East Jordan a
full company of well drilled men ready
and anxious to be mustered into state
service, and our citizens equally
anxious for the honor.

that cabbage and Brussels sprouts we
had for dinner yesterday" muttered

kitchen" for l haven't time to cook

81 heard you," said Ruth, poking her
head between the kitchen screen and
the door frame, and 1 can tell you how
to do it. First you plunge the vege-
tables into a saucepan of slightly salted
boiling water, and keep it boiling for
two or three minutes. Then you strain
and serve them. And you will find that
they look and taste as well as if they
were freshly cooked. I'll do it for you,

you like
Ruth, don't know what we should
do if you didn't make us daily visit"

Memorial Day
Was Observed
Large Crowd Greeted Veterans
of the Civil War.

Memorial Day was observed in our
city last Monday with fitting and i'm
pressive ceremonies, before the largest
crowd that ever assembled in our city
on similar occasion. II might have
been the weather-which was ideal, il
might have been the grave crisis of our
country at the present moment or it
might have been the exceptionally good
program offered by Company X, that
brought out the people. Whatever the
reason, over $500 people wended their
way to the cemetery Monday afternoon
to do homage to the "Boys in Blue"
and renew fidelity to the Stars and
Stripes.
The program as published in last
weeks Herald was carried out in full.
The procession to the cemetery, head
ed by East Jordan's capable military
organization-Company X, was pleas
ing sight, and incidentally we never
realize the number of pupils in our
public schools until we see them in
procession like this. East Jordan
Military Band gave delightful music on
the line Of march and at the exercises.
At the cemetery, the published pro-
gram was carried out. Hon. James
Green of Lansing, assistant attorney
general, giving one of the ablest
Memorial Day addresses ever heard in
our city.
Another Memorial Day has passed
into history and again the timing
ranks Stevens Post No. &C Grand Army
of the Republic has been noted with
each succeeding Memorial Day fewer
veterans march in the parade and a
larger number of flags appear over
graves in our cemeteries. Ten years,
perhaps fifteen or twenty will not have
passed e'er all will note the absence of
these aged veterans of the Civil War.
Memorial Day will then have lost one
of its most worthy objects-the honor
ing of the living, who fought SO bravely
for the Union. Memorial Day will al
ways be day of reverence and respect
however, for America will always set
that one day apart and its purpose and
object will be forever carried out.

EIGHTH GRADE TUITION
More Than Ten Thousand Dis
tricts are Paying Tuition of
Eighth Grade Graduates to
High Schools.

Statistics compiled in the Department
of Public instruction show that school
districts are this year paying the tuition
of more than ten thousand eighth grade
graduates TO high schools. This tuition
amounts to $235,747. Thousands of
boys and girls in the rural schools of
the state will this month receive eighth
grade diplomas from the Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction as the result
of having passed the eighth grade ex-
animation Perhaps no recent law has
more directly benefited the boys and
girls of rural communities that the one
which requires districts to pay the
tuition of those holding eighth grade
diplomas to any high school in the state,
providing however that the amount
shall not exceed twenty dollars unless
the people at the annual meeting vote
to pay more. The high school is to be
selected by the pupil. Written applica-
ton for this tuition must be made to
the board by the parent or guardian on
or before the fourth Monday in June
A child for whom tuition must be paid
is one who is resident of the district
on the fourth Monday of June and who
is neither the holder of a county eighth
grade diploma or Of a written state
ment from the superintendent OF a
graded district that he has passed the
eigh(b grade in that district or that he
has Rlssed a grade above the eighth
grade. The Superintendent Of Public
instruction is very anxious that no boy
or girl who is qualified to have his
tuition paid shall be deprived Of the
privilege because of failure to make
nroper application.

MODERN FABLES
The Fable of the Youth Who
Went to College and
Came Back.

Once upon time there was young
man who felt that he should like to own
great flocks of learning and knowledge,
so he left his paternal roof and took up
his abode in city that boasted State
University He was accompanied by
his ancestors check book and deter
mination to become an exceedingly
wise man.
Four years worked wonders for him.
He learned to talk Esperanto and write
Greek. He learned how to measure
the distance between the planet Jupi-
ter and Peorio, Illinois. He learned
how to play football and to fox-trot.
And he forgot how to plow corn and 10
chop wood. When commencement
day came round he was the most
honored man in school. And why not?
He knew more about transcendentalism
than a ward politician knows about
shaking hands. He could crate in a
manner that would have turned sena-
tors green with envy. He could find
more values for a simultaneous quad
ratio equasion than his professor in
mathematics. The old college presi-
dent sent word to his home folks that
they owned a remarkable son and that
the college was proud of him.
Commencement over, this very en-
bodiment of knowledge atarted out to
sell some of his services to the busi-
ness men in those parts, but greatly to
his surprise and even greater to his
CONSERVATION, he met with very little
success. 1t seemed that the business
men he visited wanted a man who
could sell goods rather than one who
could find new freckles on the sun. In
fact, most of them were unaware the
sun was freckled. Several of them
told him so.
And it came to pass that he was
forced to go back to the farm and live
with the old folks.

seases-you never are sure of COM
plete recovery.

FACTS FOR FARMERS

Nearly six million dozen eggs were
imported into this country in 1914, ac-
cording to Commerce and Navigation
of the United States, 1914" Only
million and half dozen were imported
in 1913. OF dried yolks and frozen
eggs there were imported in 1913 only
22S,OOO pounds but in 1914 the importa-
tons grew to 3,40O, an increase of 1900
per cent. Why this increase? In 1913
eggs paid an import duty of five cents
dozen but in 1914 were free. Yolks
and frozen eggs were kept out by a 25
per cent ad valorem duty in 1913 but
this was reduced to ten per cent in 1914
Some were laid in Germany
And some in far Japan;
And some were laid in China,
In the days of Genghis Khan.
But whence they came or where they
went,
This thought gives small enjoyment,
The hens and roosters in this land
Were robbed of their employment.
Allowing an average per hen of 120
eggs year, the importation of these
$4,000. 900 eggs threw 100000 hens out
of work for 1914, or put 100000 on
half time. 1t is dangerous to comment
on this for fear the rejoinder of the
Democratic party may be that we are
espousing the cause of the hen rather
than that of the American workingman,
and besides the hens which suffered
enforced idleness had just so much
more time to improve their minds in
the study OF psychology.
Consul General Keena, located at
Buenos Aires, Argentina, reports that
the declared exports from that port for
the United States in 1913, when the
Republican tariff law was in force,
amounted 10 $26,OOO,0OO. In 1914, with
a Democratic tariff in force, the exports
to the United States were valued at
OOOO,OOO. From the port of Rosario,
the exports to the United States in 1913
were s5,OOO,OOO but in 1914 they were
So, 900, 900. This increase of $28, 200, 600
was practically all farm products, to be
sold i'm American markets in competi-
ton with the products of American
farmers.
Consul General Bray, Sydney, Aus
tralia, in his resume of trade conditions
in that commonw ealth for the year 1914
says that when the United States placed
meat upon the free list In its 1913 tariff
it was confidently expected that Aus
trala would do large business with
the American Pacific seaboard in both
canned and frozen commodities. "The
year 1914" he writes, "opened with
every prospect Of this expectation be-
ing realized Several Australian pro-
ducers visited the United States and
excellent results were being achieved
