destroyer-it's time for him to pass
but the old time comfortable farmer.
the man who didn't worry about what

that expenses be pared down to the

time of men or of horses be wasted,
and all that 1t seems to demand that
every farm be run as factory, to
make the most possible money. 1t has
no use for the owner of a farm who

doesn't expect or want much more.
Speed up, economiZe, sell or destroy

anything else, but still the world will
be poorer when the men who are not

when the faithful servant is neglected
in Old age because he can't work.

NEW INTERURBAN LINE TO
OPEN UP VAST LAND TRACT
Will Run North, Connecting with
Oakland Cars; to Rush Work.

Application to the state railroad
commission in Lansing by the High
land Park & Royal Oak Railroad Co.
for permission TO operate interurban
cars between Highland Park and
Royal Oak reveals one of the biggest
suburban property transactions from
a financial standpoint in the history
of Wayne county.
The line proposed, opening up a
vast territory, will connect the De-
troit United Railway line on Oak
land avenue at the Six Mile road, to
which point the millage of Highland
Park has just permitted the d. U. R.
to extend from Victor avenue, thence
north, northwest and west for dis
tance of approximately six miles to
the Rochester interurban on the Ten
and a Half Mile road.

ROAD
TO BE CLOSED APRIL
Paving on Highway Will Detour All
Traffic.

MONROE-The paving of the Mon
roe-Toledo boulevard, contracts for
which have just been let, will bring
about the closing to traffic of one of
the busiest roads in the county, it
being a direct route from a prosper
Gus farming country both to Monroe
and Toledo. The county road COM
missioners are notifying farmers
along the route to hurry up with their
marketing and the purchase of sup
plies, as it is the intention of the COM
missioners to close the south half of
the contract, from Erie village to the
Ohio state line about April l, and the
northern portion between this city and
Erie not very long afterwards. Be-
ing on the main travelled route be-
tween Detroit and Toledo, the COM
missioners think it would be necessary
to place guard at both ends of the
contract to turn back automobiles who
have no notice of the closing of the
highway. There are parallel roads
open, comparatively free from sand,
and in the absence of heavy rains no
serious impediment to the traffic is
anticipated, except the farmers on the
direct line of the road not having ac-
cess to any other highway.

some CHINESE GAMES

Chinese boys and girls are Just an
fond of toys and games as the chill
dren of other lands, although to look
at their solemn little faces you would
hardly think so.
The little Chinese boy has a big
pocket in front of his red pinafore
that he loves to fill with all sorts of
things-bits of string, top, coins and
especially candy. His sweetmeats are
very hard, some of them like our
rock candy, but they taste good to
him. He also likes the queer nuts,
melon seeds, and bits of sugar cane
that he buys in the streets from man
who goes round with two baskets
hanging from pole that he carries
across his shoulders.
Besides his big pocket, he has very
long sleeves, and is quite likely TO
have some CT his treasures slowed
away in them, for Chinese boy al.
ways uses his sleeves for pockets.
The toys that the children buy, also
from man on the street, are gener.
ally cheap figures of animals, or OF
human beings made of clay or paper,
says the Youths Companion.
The little Chinese girls play at "hit.
ting the ball." game of which all OF
them are very fond. Thew bounce the
ball on the floor with the palm of their
hands and try to see how long they
can keep it going. They also have an.
other ball game, like battledore ana
ubntt lnpnrlE only tLa e6
tlecock going with the sole of tho
foot
Sometimes very small Soy flies
a very big kite, and his father and his
grandfather like TO fly kites as we'll II
he does, which seems strange TO us;
but kite flying is a great amusement
for boys and men in China, where they
make wonderful kites in the shapes of
birds, butterflies, dragons with out
spread wings-kites that look very
gorgeous as they hang in the air.
Chinese girls do not play much with
dolls, but both they and the hoys spin
tops, which are made of bamboo, and
hum loudly. The children get much
excited over Punch and Judy shows.
They also dearly love to keep pets,
such as goldfish, rabbits, and birds.
They have man riddles, nursery
rhymes and games that they play to-
gether. Some of the games are very
much like those that the children OF
America and Europe play, such as
blindman's buff and puss in the cor
ner. Hide and seek, too, is the same
as in this country, but they have many
games that we know nothing about.
Sometimes they make themselves
into a centipede-which means a crea-
ture of hundred legs-by all joining
hands, from the tallest down to the
smallest tot. Each one then puts her
head under her arm, and all follow the
movements of the tall ope at the head
Of the line, winding in and out In Q

ELECTRICAL DISORDERS
ACCOMPANY BILLIARDS.

Southern Michigan was covered
with from eight to twelve inches of
snow on the third day of spring, and
electrical disturbances accompanying
the heavy fall helped to cripple steam
traffic and force interurban lines to
suspend service at some points. The
absence of wind at many points alone
saved communication from being en-
tirely paralyzed. The storm is con-
sidered the heaviest fall in the state
since Washington's birthday, 1912.
