ed during the evening several selec-
tions, including two descriptive pieces
which were highly entertaining to the
audience.
Mayor A. E. Cross opened the meet
ing and gave cordial address of well

welcome banner across Main street
meant just what it said, and before the
meeting closed the Grand Rapids men
appeared to fully realize that the East
Jordan business men truly were glad
to,see them again
Carroll F. Sweet, vice president of
the Old National bank, Grand Rapids,
presided, and speeches were made by
Heber A. Knott, of Carl Knott Co., f.
L. Wellman, Grand Rapids famous
bean man, F. f. Leonard OF II. Leon
ards Sons, Lee NJ. Hutchins, of Hazel
tine g. Perkins, and r. o. Bisbee of the
Peoples State bank, East Jordan. The
inter-dependence of Grand Rapids with
East Jordan and vice versa, character
in business and how to promote and
retain it; the upbuilding of western
and northern Michigan, were some OF
the points made very interesting in the
talks.
Several selections were given by Mr..
Hazel Reilly, one of Grand Rapids lead
ing tenor singers, and all were greatly
enjoyed, his voice being beautiful.
Business places remained open longer
than usual to give the visitors chance
to see and appreciate the unusually
clean and thrifty appearance East Jor-

habitually Comments upon the evil

heard on all sides during the stay OF
the Grand Rapids men.

FIRE BLIGHT IN APPLE

Undoubtedly many of the readers of
this article have noticed in their own
or neighbors apple or pear trees, short
branches on which the leaves look
scorched and killed. | have noticed it
in many of the trees in the gardens of
this city, and | have had several re-
quests for information in regard to it.
This condition is due to a disease
known variously as the Fire Blight,
Pear Blight, and Apple Blight which
has come to be recognized as one of
the most serious enemies of these
fruits. 1t is bacterial disease, gaining
entrance to the tree through wounds or
through the flowers. The germs are
carried by insects TO the flower. The
insects are attracted by the dark,
mucilaginous fluid that oozes out of the
diseased wood in the spring and which
is swimming with bacteria. From the
flowers and other centers of infection
the disease spreads through the whole
plant.
When it appears the best treatment
is to remove and burn the iafected
parts, cutting from II to Is inches be-
low where the disease appears. The
disease may be carried in pruning
implements from diseased to healthy
tree. Therefore, the best plan is 10
disinfect the pruning tools after each
cut with kresol earbolic acid, formalde-
hyde, or some other good disinfectant
n each large cut is also painted with
this, il will help to check the disease.

which thought a good thing. Many
towns we pass through we do not
know the name of except by the Blue
Book directory. We have seen several
of the same kind OF road men as are
seen on our Norwood road, using sod
for the road bed. We bumped and
bumped over them, singing "Home
Sweet Home" while we jumped the
back breakers, Grand Ledge, 1890 a.
m. We have left a lot of very bad
roads behind for others to enjoy. Near
here we saw our first good old sugar
beets and | said, This would make big

farmers have used the sides OF the road
by planting corn and it was good corn,
too. Lansing, 11:00 a. m. Weber

Oh, what lot of impossible roads we
have left behind us. They are making
deep gravel roads and several cars got
stuck. One man said that he knew
they were fooling away their money
on these roads, that they ought to build
concrete roads. said, No, not in this
clay soil. II you had good drainage as
we have and good loan soil, it would
be the best you could use and it would

First Day OUT
Thursday, Sept. IA, 1916.

We left CharlevoiX the Beautiful,

made short stop at my dear old home
in Norwood with the sad thought that
I'd never make it my home again. +
fixed up few little necessary things
for the benefit of the next occupant
and left for Manistee, 126 miles from
Charlevoix; and at Traverse City 1890
p. m, had dinner and left at 200 p. m.
Passed through Benzonia at 3:45, Bear
Lake. 4:45 and at Manistee 5:45, when
we found reasonably comfortable
quarters at the cosy little Briny Inn.
The worst roads we struck today
were between Charlevoix and Nor
wood, except some short stretches be-
tween Eastport and Torch Lake and
between Interlochen and Benzonia. If
some gravel could now be placed in
the low places on the stretch from Lou
Sees cornor and Porters on the Nor
wood road, this stretch would last
year or two longer, but as it is now 60
ing>it will soon go to the bad On ac-
count of the very poor work done on
the Norwood road this year, the poor
est ever saw, advise that no more
money be spent on this road until the
new county road is built, as it is grow
ing worse and worse every year.
| wish to call the attention of the
public to very dangerous place on
this stretch of road. 1t is at the cross
ing of the brook at Henry Van Dusan's
about half way from Charlevoix to Nor
wood. The attention of the town Of
ficials was called to this last summer
when they were working on the road,
to make it as impossible as they know
how II seems that last year the Path
master used tile to convey the water
instead of building bridge, but they
were short about eight or ten feet in
order to make the road as wide
as il ought to be. 1t is now filled in on
top of this tile so high that some day
after heavy rain, some big car going
at ordinary speed will cause the earth
to slide off and away goes Mr.. Car.
speak for myself because | came near
sliding off myself. Unless soon fixed,
the town of Norwood will have bill of
damages to pay in my opinion. Fool
luck may save us, as it has many times.
Good night,
