Armory Proposition.
The armory proposition received
some attention last night. Captain
C.. L. Powell explained the handicaps
the company was under in using the
present building which IS unsuited
for the purpose and which is not
heated in winter. 1t was stated that
the present quarters are entirely in
adequate as it is impossible to drill!
a full company without humping into
posts. Captain Powell said that it
would be almost impossible to drill
in the present building another win
ter as it was difficult to hold the mem
bers when they had to work in a
cold hall and one that did not meet
the requirements.
Despite these handicaps Captain
Powell pointed to the fact that two
years ago Company L was seventh in
the state with grade of "a percent.
Last year the average was lower.

fact that the fall celebration was pri-

To Save Nut Trees.

The Northern Nut Growers asso-
citation is trying to save the fine nut
trees, says circular just sent out
by the association. The association
was founded few years ago by sur
geon, family physician, a lawyer,
II professor of horticulture and plain
ordinary enthusiast-all tree lovers,
of course. Along with the many 9th
ers who have joined them, they have
learned how to graft the nut trees,
and they believe that we would have
orchards worth $500 or more per acre,
If they were composed of trees as good
as the best native trees now growing
wild right here in the United States.

ALL ILLS CURED BY WALKING
That Is the Belief of New York Pro-
fessor, Who Covers 500 Miles
Month.

Prof. Charles Gray Shaw, head OF
the department of philosophy of New
York university, who has just complet-
ed walk from Philadelphia to New
York, ninety miles, in little less than
"a hours, recommends walking as a
panacea for all ills, mental and physi-
cal, New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch writes. During
the last three months he has walked.
altogether, 1000 miles, an average Of
more than 800 miles month. A little
Journey Of 30 or 40 miles day he con-
siders mere nothing, trot around
the block. And for regaining mental
poise, calming distraught nerves, exter-
minating worry, there is nothing, take
1t from the professor, equal to a good
long walk. He belongs to the peripa-
tetic school of philosophy. walking
Is the most valuable exercise in the
world" he said. ALSO it is the cheap
est. 1t Is one of the best ways l know
of cheating the doctor and the under
taker. Walking, in the first place,
draws the blood from the head to the
feet. Then, when one walks, there
are so many delightful trivial things
to cajole ones attention away from
oneself; the color and shape of the
clouds, the flowers and the horizon,
the amusing and transitory compan-
ions of the road And women ought to
walk more, too. Their compilations
and figures would improve if they did.
Most people take too short steps and
walk from the knee. The further up
the body the swing comes, the less
strain"

Accuses Bean Buyers.

j. n. Mcbride, state director Of mar
kets, sent dispatches to his representa-
tives In the various parts of the state
to prepare to fight buyers, who, 1t is
said, are attempting to lower the price
Of beans by issuing false reports us to
the bean crop.
According to the circulars, which
have, been widely distributed by GER
tain jobbers and canning companies,
the Michigan crop this year Is $780,
600 bushels, Or more than the total
yields for 1915 and 1916 combined as
given In the government figures.
The state crop report gives the bean
yield this year ut 2,020,33S. The fed
eral estimate puts the yield at $780,
600 bushels.
The market director says that copies
Of the circulars will be laid before the

termine II there has been any misuse

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY v. M. PIERCE, M. d.

The subject Of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
means Of X-rays, the observations Of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance Of water taken during d.
gestion is necessary In good bodily
housekeeping.
If your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain In the back or back Of the
neck, take little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any COED drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
or old is, always drink plenty of pure
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets Of Anuric three or four
times day.
Anuric acts-much more quickly
than lithia. You will find II dissolves
uric acid as water does sugar.

Boy Farmer Makes Big Profit.

Werner Pelt, an upper peninsula
youth, has just been awarded the state
potato growing championship by the
boys and girls club department of M.
A. G. BY raising 1925 bushels of po-
tutoes on an acre of ground, the prize
winner cleared Il net profit of $JO3.30,
or something like 500 per cent on his
original investment of capital and la
Dor. Efficient agricultural methods,
which gave him record crop in n
year when his neighbors were suffer
ing from the drought, explain the sue
cess of Werner, whose home is at the
National mine, in Marquette county.
Verners record was made in COM
petition with several thousand boys
and girls throughout the state. Each
year the boys and girls club depart
ment of NJ. A. G. through juvenile
clubs organized In every part of the
state, induces young people to plant
an acre Of ground to some crop, such
as potatoes, corn, or beans. Then each
fall, when the crops are harvested,
che records of each of the boys and
girls who competed are gathered by
the clubs headquarters at NJ. A. G..
and the winners are picked on the so
I called four-point basis, which takes in
to consideration the quality of the
crop, yield, profit and report, and the
story of the project. The upper pen
insula boy scored an average of 90
points.
In growing this crop, Werner en-
! ployed the intensive methods which
the club department of NJ. A. c. out
Elines for the small plots cultivated.
1 Other winners and the yields of
their plots, were: Matte Franz, Lor-
eta, Dickinson county, 49, bushels
Clyde Manila, Tapiola, Houghton
county, 301 bushels = Richard Gran
good, Tapiola, Houghton county, 2S8.6
bushels; Cleo Farm. National NINE,

ty, 20G bushels; Howard LaFrance,
Morsey, Osceola county, 252 bushels
William Skog, Metropolitan, Dickinson
county. 250 bushels, and Joseph
Dziedzic, Loretta, Dickinson county
Most of the prize winners were up
per peninsula boys for the reason that
