A WELCOME RAIN.

Since Sunday the prairie and adjacent
sections have been favored by showers
that are going to assist in bringing out
the late sown crops and maturing the
fall sown grain which is looking fine at
the present time. Hay crops will also
be greatly benefited. A million dol
lar rain is what they are all saving.

GERMAN PEACE NOTE

Berlin, Germany, Dec. 13.-FoIIow.
Ing Is the text OF the note addressed by
Germany and her allies to the entenee
governments:
1.-THE most terrific war ever expert.
enced In history has been raging for
the last two years and half over a
large part Of the world--a catastrophe
which thousands Of years Of common
civilization was unable to prevent, and
which Injuries the most precious
achievements OF humanity.
"Our aims.are not to shatter or ami.
hilate our adversaries. In spite of our
consciousness Of our military and Geo.
nomic strength and our readiness to
continue the war (which has been
forced upon us) until the bitter end, II
necessary; at the same time prompted
by the desire to avoid further blood
shed and make an end to the atrocities
Of war, the four allied powers propose
to enter forthwith into peace negotia-
tions.

forward for such negotiations and
which have for their object a guaranty

Haarer Favors Budget.

That u system which makes the sec
rotary of state, state treasurer and SUI
perintendent of public instruction re-
sponsible for the auditing of bills
against the state Is inconsistent and
awkward, Is the contention of retiring
State Treasurer ]. w. Haarer. The
treasurer believes that heads of de-
partments should be held responsible
for the correctness of the bills of en-
ployees under them and that such
work as naturally comes under the
Jurisdiction Of an auditor should be
cared for In the office of the auditor
general. Under existing laws part of
the accounts against the state are gen.
orally passed upon by the auditor gen.
eral and part Of them by the state
board of auditors, with no logical line
Of demarcation.
"Why should the board of state au-
ditors have to say how much a state
employees expenses should be?" asks
the treasurer
Under the budget system every de-
partment head would be responsible
for the administration of the fund
appropriated to him. He would scan
expenditures personally, and If an em-
ployee was padding his accounts the
department head would find it out"

Eat Alfalfa, Heime's Advice.

Eat little more alfalfa hay ground
into alfalfa flour Is the advice of
James w. Helme, state dairy and food
commissioner, to boycotters of butter
and eggs.
The state dairy and food commits
sioner explained that Professor Nc
Collum of the University of Wiscon-
sin, after many experiments with feed
Ing white rats, found that the only
food which took the place Of the fat
found in butter and eggs was alfalfa.
Even other fats, such as lard, tallow
or the vegetable fats, including olive
oil or cottonseed. would not take the
place of the fats of butter and eggs.
Professor McCollum found that dur
Ing 80 days the rats fed on various
grains grew about half the normal
rate and then stopped growing alto
gether.

No Longer Need Lazy Man Roll Out
From Warm Bed to Start Fire

Nobody need run shivering to- tho
cellar In house which has been
equipped with one of the new furnace
starters. The head of the house stays
In his warm bed and sets the furnace
to heating the house by merely press
ing push button at his side. Or X
he is given to oversleeplng, his alarm
clock will perform the same service
for him, says an EXCHANGE. The APP
paratus for regulating the furnace con-
sists of a weight attached by ropes to
the damper and drafts, light strip
Of wood to hold the weight, two mag
nets, an armature and pulleys to les

wood which holds the weight Is wide
at one end and pointed at the other.
The pointed end rests on heavy strip
of soft iron which moves on two tin
rails. When the push button In the
bedroom Is pressed circuit Is closed.
and the two magnets draw the piece
Of iron, or the armature, from under
the supporting strip of wood, causing
the weight to fall down and pull open

used to take the place Of the push but

a circuit at certain hour and then

Of the existence, Of the honor and lib
erty Of evolution for their nations are,
according to their firm belief, an ap-
propriate basis for the establishment
Of a lasting peace.
"The four allied powers have been
obliged to take up arms to defend jus-
tice and the liberty Of national evoIu-
ton. The glorious deeds Of our armies
have In no way altered their purpose.
We always maintained the firm belief
that our own rights and justified claims
in no way control the rights Of these
nations.
1.-THE spiritual and material progress
which were the pride of Europe at the
beginning Of the twentieth century are
threatened with ruin. Germany and
her aIIies-Austria-H Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey-gave proof Of their un-
conquerabIe strength In this struggle.
They gained gigantic advantages over
adversaries superior in number and
war material. Our lines stand I'M
shaken against ever repeated attempts
made by armies.
1.-THE latest attack In the Balkans
has been rapidly and VIGOROUSLY over
come. The most recent events have
demonstrated that further continuance
Of the war will not result In breaking
the resistance of our forces, and the
whole situation with regard to our
troops justifies our expectation Of fur
Their successes.
"If In spite Of this offer Of peace and
reconciliation the struggle should 90
on, the four allied powers are resolved
to continue to victorious end, but
they discIaim responsibility for this be-
fore humanity and history. The I'm
perial government, through the good
offices Of your exceIIency, ask the GOV.

New ReoIstratioo eln Drawn.

Secretary of tho senate Den
mis- Il. Award and Clerk of the
House Charles S. Pierce. who were su.
thorized as special commissioners by
the last legislature to revise Michigan
election laws. have finished one of the
bills which they plan to have presented
to the legislature.
The bill has to do with registration,
and would completely change the pres.
ent registration system. The bill has
been mailed out to city and county
clerks for their approval before II IL
ready for the legislature. The pro-
posed law would practically eliminate
boards Of registration. Registration,
as proposed. would be continuous. Any
citizen could register Mt any time at
the office of the city. township or vii
lage clerk. These officials would be en-
powered to take registrations at any
time during the year. They would be
compelled to announce registrations
and advertise regular registration days
as the second and third Saturdays be-
fore any election, regular or primary.
On these days they would have to be
In their offices. On the others the reg
istration of citizens would be inciden-
tai to their duties as clerks.
In case any city, township or village
wanted to have registration board sit
before the primary or regular election
1t could do SO by resolution. 1t Is
thought. however, that once the plan is
put to work, boards Of registration ex-
cept In the larger cities of Detroit and
Grand Rapids. will be thing of the
past.
Messrs. Award and Pierce figure that
they will save cities, villages and town.

given an opinion to Secretary Of State
Vaughan that the state board Of can
vassers must accept the totals returned
by the board of county canvassers in
the Beakes-Bacon' fight In Jackson
county. part Of the Second congress
sional district. This upholds the coun-
ty canvassers In accepting the figures
of the city board, but does not pre-
clude recount In the city precincts.
The returns Of the Jackson county

rality in the district 81, while IL the
disputed votes were counted Beakes
would have a plurality Of A votes.

ROADS HIT AT CAR HOLDING
Increase In Reconsignment Charges
Urged as Remedy for Shortage
Would Be Blow at Coal
Brokers.

Lansin.-The only results of the
Michigan railway commission hearing
on the car shortage was to gather data
for the Interstate commerce commits
sion and clear up several mlsconcep-
tons. AS the coal business Is inter-
state commerce, the state board found
II had no power.
Despite the hundreds of pages Of
Testimony taken In the two days from
railroad men. board OF commerce
traffic experts and brokers, the only
constructive remedy came from the
railroads which are advocating an In
crease In recOnsignment charges. This
Is blow ut brokers who buy coal
from the mines and later order its dis
tribution. They can hold the cars In
definitely by paying demurrage charges
and New York Central records showed
brokers had held cars 80 days In De-
troit.
This years freight congestion was
caused through fear of strike, ac-
cording to the rail men. who also
claimed that embargoes were essen
tial in relieving Detroit congestion.
The Michigan Central has II track
capacity OF 1000 more cars than last
year in Detroit. and claims congestion
Is not as bad MS 1t was in 1912.
All railroads claimed they have suf-
ficient motor facilities to move the
freight If cars are released promptly.
The Michigan Central has 123 switch
Ing crews in Detroit but collects $23.-
600 monthly demurrage charges. The
Detroit yards of the Pere Marquette
yield $4,000 demurrage monthly. but
rolling stock in hauling service would
bring the roads much more revenue.
The Wabash railroad representa-
tives testified they hold 9O3 cars for
Detroit which they cannot deliver ow-
ing to Grand Trunk embargoes. They
have some 500 cars of coal, Of which
22S are for % Detroit brokers'.
