have been compelled to spend outside
of our own state. This is to be re-
GREETED as we have plenty to do at
home. After the appointment made
by Governor Ferris / didn't feel that
/ constantly refuse to carry on the
work and hence reluctantly yielded.
The results | am sure are gratifying,
and that Michigan will have more
than 800 miles of the Dixie Highway
is a source of the greatest satisfac-
ton.
| can assure you that it is source
of personal qualification to myself TO
be able to say after personal inspec-
tion of the work south Of the Michi-
gan line, that the Dixie Highway is
veritable fact, that millions have
been and are now being spent in max
ing this one of the greatest thorough
fares in America. There is one
stretch of 308 miles of brick pave
ment 16 feet in width that tells the
story of the enthusiasm and deter
mination with which the southland
have undertaken to build this great
thoroughfare, the name of which is
so dear to every southern heart.
We have assisted in and encourage
ed the organization of various coun-
ty goods roads organizations work
ing with us in the same vineyard; to
+ all these organizations we have given
both willing and helping hand.
Your president has attended all
the meetings of the Wolverine Paw
edway associations but one and took
part in the caravans which were or
ganized and which started from
Lansing to Grand Rapids and later
from Lansing to Detroit. AS an evil
dence of the great enthusiasm of the
people, it is sufficient to say that
1000 automobiles were in line when
we entered the city of Grand Rapids
the first day of our run from Lans-
ing. All along the way, at every viii
lage and city thousands of people
came not out of curiosity, but with
determination to do their part in the
building of permanent highway
from Lake Michigan through the
capital of our state to the city of
| Detroit.

Air and Light for Poultry

Too great stress cannot be laid on
the Importance of plenty of fresh air
in the poultry houses if the birds are
to keep in good condition. 1t must
be remembered in this connection
that "fresh" air and cold, stagnant
air are two very different things. Too
many of the types of curtain-front
and so-called "fresh" air houses now
in use are without any provision other
than an obligingly southern wind TO
insure the circulation or changing of
air within the house.
Even with an open-front house it is
wise to provide circulation of air in
such a way that direct drafts cannot
strike the birds. This applies not only
to the housing of adult birds in lay
ing houses. but also to the case of
young stock in colony houses on the
range. Further, circulation of fresh
air under the hover in artificial rear
ing is greatly TO be desired and will
have a marked effect on the health
and vigor of the chicks.
Not only should the poultry house
be such as to furnish plenty of fresh
air. but it should also be light The
prime Importance of sunlight in sani-
tation is universally recognized by
medical authorities. Disease germs
cannot stand prolonged exposure to
the direct rays of the sun. Sunlight
is natures great disinfectant. It's i'm
portance is no less in poultry than in
human sanitation.

Since large proportion Of my bus

the Matching season. At other times
of the year the cream is separated
for butter-making and the skim milk
used to feed the hens. In this sec

successful band depends upon the CO.
operation of all; business men must
cooperate by giving the time of en-
ployees who play in the band for such
playing and by contributing money
for band support. The council and
citizens must cooperate and the
musicians themselves must cooperate
by making their demands for compen-
sation as light as possible and by
faithful attendance at practices and
concerts. There is nothing that does
more to boost a small town than a
good band, but in order to maintain a
band some one must 'spay the fiddler

other things. All working together
we may have a band and good one.

vised county boards of revision, when
specific inquiries have been made by
these bodies, to use every endeavor to
notify tax payers of proposed in
creases, Notwithstanding that the only
legal notice required is that given by
the county auditor in the newspaper
advertisement and in the issuance of
pamphlets giving changes IN valua-
tions of real estate.
The State Commission realizes that,
as rule, it has been quite impracti-
Gable for boards of revision at the
June session to cite tax payers before
them; but it should be remembered
that there is no requirement under
the law that this should be done. It
should also be remembered that it is
the bounden duty of boards of re-
vision, at it's June session, to list all
omitted property and to add on listed
property any increases which, in their
judgment, are proper, so that the as
sessments or the appraisals shall re-
present the true value in money. The
theory of the law is-and it has been
always so-that owners of personal
property should go to the auditors Of
flee to examine the tax lists and not
depend upon individual notification of
increases, the only notice required
under the law being the newspaper
publication of the completion Of the
tax lists. So far as the Tax Commits
sion is advised, boards of revision
have conformed to the instructions
of the State Tax Commission.
Tax payers who desire to file COM
plants as to values set either on per-
sonal or real property should apply
to the county auditor for blanks.
Complaints must be filed on or before
September 9th, 1916. Complaints
must be confined to valuations this

Good Vote Out Over The Contests For County
Offices -Herrick and Willis Receive Strong En-
dorsement from Republican Voters-Pike
and York Townships Hold Local Option
Elections and Go Dry

The weather was fine and the inter-
est seemed general over the County
and as well over the entire State last
Tuesday. The Republicans were out
in good strength for a Primary and
they have nominated a ticket both in
the county and state that spellsvictory
for the Republican party next Novem-
ber.
The fact that there were several
contests on for county offices on the
Republican ticket to say nothing of
the contests for members of the coun-
ty central committee in several
of the precincts brought out good
vote. There was a warm con-
test for county commissioners but
Aumend Of Pike, Edgar of Royalton
and Z. +. Spring of Dover were the
winners. The fight for sheriff ended
in q victory for Boone. Representa-
tive and Surveyor with two candidates
for each office one in each instance to
contest third term candidates was
close enough to be fairly interesting
for the sentiment against the third
term program dies hard in the Repub-
lican party; although it's been dead
and buried in the Democratic party
in Fulton county "lo, these many
years" However a good record for
efficient and faithful service proved
q valuable asset to the ''third termers"
Tuesday; Reighard for Representa-
tive and Castle for Surveyor were
placed on the party ticket by sub
stantial majority Of the Republican
voters.
Stahl for second term as prosecut-
ing attorney had some lively opposi-
tion but made the rifle" in good
shape.
A. M. Barber for Probate Judge re-
ceived the largest vote cast for any of
the candidates for county office; 1862
orly 4 less than for Governor Willis.
Mr.. Barber could have received no
higher compliment from the Republi-
cans of the county nor more prom
ounced demonstration Of their conf
dence in his ability and integrity. G.
Scott Roos came second in the vote
which nominated him for the second
term as county treasurer, receiving
1893 votes.
y The contests all seemed to be OF
the "good natured" variety (not "de-
natured'D and there was no political
mud-slinging. There was some sigh
ing on the part Of old timers through
the county for the "good old days
of county conventions but after all
we ''lived through it, and the voters
Of the county certainly demonstrated
their loyal citizenship and public
spirit by participating in the primary.
On the State ticket the Republicans
Of Fulton came out strong for Frank
b. Willis for Governor with q total of
1866. Mack secured 121 votes in the
county and Shaw Sc. For United
States Senator Myron T. Herrick out
distanced all other contestants fol-
the senatorial toga in Fulton county
with a vote OF. 1860. Harry Daugh-
erty had $40 votes in the county; Dick
204, Cassel 1873 and Harry Probasco
n. We learn from the daily papers
Of the state that the endorsement re-
ceived by Governor Willis and Mr.
Herrick il Fulton is typical of all the
other counties in the state and these

men are nominated by magnificent
majorities.
For Lieutenant Governor Arnold
received 977 votes and Agler tbs votes
in the county.
There was no opposition to Secre-
tary Of State Hildebrandt for second
term and he received 1880 votes.
Adams led in the county for Auditor
of State with 474. Archer for State
Treasurer, second term, 1880. Turner
for Attorney General, second term,
1710. The "high men" for judges of
the Supreme court were Joyce with
796 and Newly with 428 votes each.
Judge Brough received 1415 votes in
the county as candidate for Judge of
the Court Of Appeals.
The Republicans of the county gave
Congressman N. Z. Matthews splen-
did endorsement in the shape of 1850
votes and this may be taken as an
ernest of their. loyalty to him at the
general election in November.
For State Central Committeeman
o. w. Kerns led over Stauffer in the
county, with vote of 1887; Stauffer's
vote being SIG. Late adviees indicate
that Kerns has been elected to this
position by the Republicans of the
district by majority of l4OO over
Stauffer.
The figures in the foregoing are
unofficial but are taken from the un-
official report of the Board of Deputy
State Supervisors of Elections for
Fulton county to the Secretary of
State and the changes if any, will be
immaterial.
In Pike and in York townships Lo-
cal Option Elections were held in con-
nectiOn with the Primaries resulting
in sweeping victories for the "Drys."
In Pike l47 votes were cast; 1873 dry
and, "a wet. In York 213 votes on
this question were cast in the two pre-
cincts; 168 dry and 45 wet.
Early reports indicate that the
Democrats have nominated James M.
Cox for Governor and Atlee Pomer-
enc for United States Senator. In
Fulton county they viii have a full
county ticket in the field; by next
week the "dust" of the primaries will
be cleared away and ~Who is Who" in
the "Battle of the Ballots" next No
vember will be definitely known. Both
sides have selected good adm able
men as their standard bearers and the
contest is bound to be both absorbing
and interesting and we Americans are
going to demonstrate to the world one
J of the biggest. "Bloodless Battles OF
Peace" that it has ever witnessed
From the Tribune's point of view the
result is going to be a sweeping Re-
publican victory in County, State and
Nation.

The ship is still many miles at sea,
but all conditions are favorable, and
there is every prospect Of making a
record breaking voyage. Suddenly
there is a shock. Later it is found
that she has struck mass of ice. At
first it is thought that there is no
danger, but soon the ship begins to
sink. Unless help comes, hundreds of
lives will be lost. The wireless sends
out this call: S. o. S. Other vessels
hear the call, and steam at full speed
to the rescue. Should a ship disre-
gard this call, from the world it would
receive the greatest contempt and
Condemnation. ~

STATE AVERAGE PRICES

The wheat harvest is far enough al
vanced that an estimate of the yield
may be made with approximate cor
rectness. Correspondents of this De-
partment estimate the production at
70 per cent. compared with normal
production of 15 bushels per acre. The
estimated average harvested was l.
ST, 1852 acres. Total production should
be approximately 16,562,196 bushels,
being 10 ,468, ,042 bushels short of 1915
crop.
Oats show decrease of 2 per cent.
in prospect compared with estimate of
one month ago. The outlook is most
discouraging. The severe drought has
cut the crop short.
Clover hay will produce an aver
age of 1.6 tons per acre. Timothy put
away in best condition for many years
with an estimate of 104 per cent COM
pared with an average.
Potatoes show serious damage by
drought and bugs and in some locali-
ties won't produce half crop. The
general state prospect is estimated at
20 per cent. compared with normal
yield, a decrease of 19. points compar-
ed with estimate of one month ago.
Pastures show decline of 16 points
compared with report of last month.
Apples and peaches are reported as
dropping badly. Apples being esti-
mated at 55 per cent. compared with
an average, and peaches at 49 per
cent.
The continued drought is affecting
very unfavorably all growing crops.
Some local showers occurred, but were
not sufficient for any material i'm
provement. Corn potatoes, pasture,
tobacco and garden truck are suffer
ing badly, and unless rain comes soon,
these crops will be very light. Water
getting scarce.
