MICHIGAN GOOD ROADS
State to Get Seventy five Million From
Federal Government

Within the next five years Sl50,000,-
900 will be spent upon American
roads through cooperation between
the national government and the state
highway Improvement. Work has
already been started on the half and
half plan of the federal aid good
roads measure. The American Auto
mobile association, which started the
effort and which finally resulted in the
law just enacted took the first step
in January at the Federal Aid conven-
ton held in Washington. Congress
gave its assistance by creating a joint
committee of the house and senate
with authority to investigate the ad-
visibility of federal aid to the state.
The western states are especially
interested in the federal aid plan. In
the apportionment of the $4,000, 900
appropriated by the government.
Michigan will receive $2,259, $50 and
will have to expend like amount,
bringing the total to over 100000
to be spent on Michigan roads within
the next five years.

AGITATES PREPAREDNESS
State Board Of Health Asks Michigan
to Cooperate

Taking advantage of the present
agitation for military preparedness,
the state board of health workers in
charge of the Michigan tuberculosis
survey are emphasizing preparedness
against disease.
SIN most wars disease kills a great
many more soldiers than are killed by
bullets" said one of them. "A little
of the preparedness applied TO pre-
venting disease in the army and pre-
venting disease from being carried by
the soldiers to the civil population af-
ter hostilites are over would be a
very excellent thing.
"And moreover, little prepared
ness talk with regard to disease in
time of peace as well as in time of
war would also be very excellent
thing. Michigan has been talking
such preparedness during the past
year in connection with the tuberclo-
sis survey, and it is having very good
results. What we want is more of it,
We want more preparedness agitation
to save annually the 10000 Michigan
people who die of preventabe dis
ease"

Rain never will keep the crowds
away from the circus and circus day
in Alma today is no exception to
the rule. AS usual the enormous cir
Gus goers thronged the city thorough
fares from early morning till late at
tons of old Pluvious. For two weeks
the sun has been beating down in ter
rife fashion and the parched fields
couldn't stand it even one more day,
not for all the wishes and rawlings of
the most enthusiastic youngster.
Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus company
rolled into the city early this morn
ing over the Ann Arbor Railroad
companys track from Owosso and
were well under way with unloading
the big circus equipment at an early
hour. The big street parade that
started from the circus grounds on
Michigan avenue, promptly at 1000
o'clock was the most wonderful
moving carnival ever seen in the city.
The advance announcements were no
exaggeration of its beauty and
grandeur The afternoon performance
opened on scheduled time and for two
hours $4,000 people watched the won
ders of the circus. The evening show
was we'll attended.
Too much can not be said about the
management and the methods of the
Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus company
The circus hands were an extremely
orderly and quiet set both in the city
and at the grounds, a fact of which
very few circus organizations can
boast. In every department of the
circus efficient and progressive
methods were employed. The cir
Gus left early Friday morning for
Greenville.
