Dear SIR
The Federal Aid Road Law, re-
Gently enacted by Congress, appor-
tons to Michigan during the next FIVE
years S2.lS6,755.S0. This money can
be obtained only by meeting IL dollar
for dollar, thus insuring the spending
OF ar least $4,373,511.60 on federal
aided roads during that period.
Section 10 OF the Federal Act pro-
vides that "the secretary OF agricui-
ture shall make rules and regulations
for carrying out the provisions OF the
act" Under this authority he recent
ly called the highway departments of
the several states TO Washington for
the purpose OF discussing the pro-
posed rules.
Inasmuch as the act in itself and
the rules adopted by the secretary OF
agriculture require that the states
comply with certain rules and regu-
lations not heretofore in force, and
will doubtless call for certain enabl-
ing legislation, l have thought best TO
lay the whole matter before the COM
missioners and friends OF the good
roads cause in Michigan for the pur-
pose OF discussing fully and frankly
plans that may be suggested for using
our federal aid money. This is done
in the hope that the greatest possible
good To the road cause of Michigan
may result from this expenditure.
In order TO carry out this plan, !
have called a meeting at the Court
House at Marquette, Michigan, Septem-
ber Goth, 1916, at 10:30 a. m. | hope
you will be present and that you will
invite your county highway engineer
or superintendent and any other per-
sons who are especially interested in
developing the road system OF the
Upper Peninsula.
Very truly yours,
FRANK +. ROGERS,
State Highway Commissioner.
Some of the leading citizens of Crys-
tai Falls ought to accompany Mr..
Burridge to Marquette to attend this
Mr. Burridge is considered one of
the best road engineers in Michigan,
and his advice and counsel are sought
in every convention where the ques-
ton OF good roads is discussed. I'm
der the aid offered by the Federal
II seems as though Bara-
ga county will be able to build their
road through the county within the
next year or two. If Baraga county
should take advantage of the Federal
Il appears now as though |
IL would not be any great hardship
for the taxpayers of the county to
build the road, taking into considera-
ton the award they would receive
from the state. If a good highway is
opened up from the copper country |
Il will not only open a new section OF |
country through Iron county, but will |
bring many tourists not only from the !
copper country but from all parts of
the state, through Crystal Falls, and |
the business men of this city ought |
10 applaud the efforts of Mr.. Burridge |
in trying to bring about these condi-
lions and give him assistance wher-
ever and whenever they can.

Withdrawal of Troops

Atlantic, N. j., Nov. 24.-An
agreement was reached between
the American and Mexican dele
gates of the joint conference late
today. 1t provides:
No. For the withdrawal
from Mexico of the Pershing eX-
pedition within forty days of the
approval by both governments.
of the agreement. The provision
is made that the time may be ex-
tended if conditions in northern
Mexico are such as to constitute
a menace to United States soil.
The details of the withdrawal
are left to General Pershing.
No. 2.-That United States
troops shall thereafter patrol
their side of the border and the
Mexican troops theirs in order to
guard against raids, co-opera-
tion between both forces in case
of necessity is provided.
The agreement was reached
after thirteen weeks of delibera-
tion. The question of a loan was
not brought up.
The agreement is contingent
on the approval of General Car
rama, and this is likely to hinge
upon his attitude toward the
clause providing for the pursuit
into Mexico of Mexican bandits
raiding American border towns.
President Wilson has already
sanctioned its terms.
A copy Of the agreement will
be taken to Mexico by Albert
Pani, who left for New York this
evening and will probably be in
conference with General Carran-
"a by Saturday of next week.
The convention will reconvene

Washington, Nov. 25.-One
of the changes to be expected in

When the consultations are
made under the present plan the
state capital is chosen as the
more appropriate place.
The removal of the records

THE PRESIDENTS THANKSGIVING DAY.
PROCLAMATION.

1t has long been the custom of our people to turn
in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to the Almighty God for his many
blessings aud mercies to US and the nation
The year that has elapsed since last observ
ed our day of Thanksgiving has been rich in bless
lngs to people, but the whole face of the world
has been darkened by war. In the midst of our
peace and happiness our thoughts dwell with pain
full dlsquiet upon the struggles and sufferings of
the nations at and of the peoples upon whom
war has brought disaster without choice POSSIBILITY
of escape en- their part We think of our
own happiness without thinking of their ptiful
distress.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President
of the United States of America do appoint Thurs
day, the 30th of November, a day of national
Thanksgiving and prayer, and urge and advise the
people to resort to their several places of worship
that day, to render thanks to Almighty God for
the blessings of peace and unbroken prosperity
which He has bestowed upon our beloved country in
such unstinted measure
also urge and suggest duty in this day
of peace and abundance, to think in deep sympathy
of the stricken peoples of the world upon whom the
curse and of has pitilessy fallen, and
to contribute out of our abundant means the relief
of their suherings.
Our people could in no better way show their
real attitude toward the present struggle of the
nations than by contributing of their abundance
to the relief of the suffering which has brought
in It's train.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal Of the United States be affixed
