the caption suggested by the secretary

at hand that changes are going to be
made In several instances.
Crawford county, for instance, is

"Home Rule Amendment" both In large

Much New Road to Be Built.

State Highway Commissioner Rogers
md his assistants are hard at work
now upon plans for next year ana say
the program will be the greatest the
state has ever attempted.
II is believed that by the end oil next
summer, when most of the outdoor
work has to be stopped, there VIII ne
hundreds Of miles more of good roads
in Michigan than there are now.
The department is now carrying
more employees than ever before, be-
cause of the additional work, which
nets of the legislature have imposed
spon 1t. The last legislature placed
upon the commissioners and the rail-
road commission the authority To pass
anon every new railr0nd and trolley
road crossing.
Just how much road will be built
next year has not been decided, but
with the addition of the federal gov
crnment money, amounting to approx
inately S437 900, and available July l,
1917, it is expected that many of the
gups which now exist In the "legisia-
live trunk lines" will be filled up.
An uneXpended balance OF SIl6-
T7G.T7 remained TO the credit of the
department on October ], 1916.

Road Bonds Not SaleabIe.

The Covert road law, passed by the
1913 legislature, and providing for the
construction of good roads by small
territories, with proportional assess
ment of cost as is done in cases of
drains. promises to come In for discus
sion in the 1917 legislature.
State Highway Commissioner Rog-
ers found some time ago that some
very drastic change would be neces-
sary because the bonds issued under it
were not marketable. The average
bond-buying house wants county
bonds, that is bonds issued by county
as Il unit. The Covert-law road bonds,
however, are likely to take in much
less tEan IN entire county, and in some
cases less than township.

May Take Names OF Ticket.

Telegruphic orders sent out by John
S. Smith of Detroit, chairman OF
the National Progressive party. to
county clerks to take the names or
that party's candidates of the ticket
for the coming election have been
causing trouble.
From all sections Of the state came
requests from county clerks for de-
cisiOn as to what they should do. In
some instances, notably that OF Wayne
county, the state authorities were in-
formed that his request would not be
complied with. Judge Durfee of the
Wayne county election commission was
reported as having fatty refused to
touch the ballot as II had been certi-
fled to his commission.
Attorney General Fellows, when
asked by Secretary Of State Vaughan
for ruling, said that the clerks and
election boards should pay attention
Ia Mr.. Smiths request. He went FUR
Their and said that in case the taking
Off of the names as suggested by Mr..
Smith cleaned up the ticket there was
no use of putting the Progressive party
column on the ticket at all.
Already the proofs Of the two bal
lots from Gencsce and Menominee
counties have reached Lansing, with
out any column for the Progrcssives.
The only written ruling which the
attorney generals department has
ever made has to do with the pri-
maries, Washington Gardner OF AL
bion candidate for the Republican
gubernatOrial nomination In 10l4,
asked that his name be taken of the
ballot. Secretary of State Martindale
was advised to take II Off.

Objected to Her Word.

Marie, five years of age, had been
visiting us for several weeks. On sew
eral occasions she would say rather
saucy things, and in rebuking her I
would admonish her not to get
"chesty." She usually was silent af-
ter this, but one day she asked me
what 1 meant Taken by surprise I
stammered, "Why, l mean, don't get
fresh" As quick as thought she said !:
"Then why don't you say fresh and
will know what you are talking about"

Auditor General Fuller believes that

he also thinks the annual vacations

Subaaueous Spider.

A spider has been discovered In the
fresh water ponds and bitches of the
British Isles that possesses all the hab-
Its of q fish and yet breathes In air the
same as land spiders do. This queer
arachnid weaves a sort of web or sack,
carries 1t below the surface and fast
ems st to some reed or root to serve rs
his home. In a series Of trips to the
surface he carries down each time a
bit of air which he deposits in the
sack. When the sack is full he enters
II and enjoys quiet life as long a.
the supply Of air lasts.

A London dispatch says that the
Russian government has released. Il
Swedish vessels which have been held

A terrible tragedy was enacted In

wife with an ax and then attempted
to commit suicide. Jealousy prompted
the terrible deed.
The Swedish insurance commission
has made its report as to the losses
of Swedish ship companies during the
past two years and state that they
have paid out 100000 crowns for lost
cargOes and 9,OO0,0O0 crowns for lost
vessels. Ninety-one insured vessels
have been sunk by torpedoes and
mines. @
number of persons In Sweden are
now wearing clothes made out of turf.
Instead Of cotton and wool. The in
ventor of this new process of making
cloth is G. Fegrenns, an engineer of
Gothenburg, who has been, working on
this idea for 20 years. The cloth is
said to be quite durable and of hand
some appearance. The war, which has
greatly raised the price of cotton and
wool, will give an impetus to the man
ufacture of cloth out of turf.
Demonstrations have taken place In
various cities on the part of the social

possible to use petroleum instead OF
gasoline or benzine in operating auto
mobiles and gasoline engines in gen.

become very expensive and scarce in
Denmark, in comparison with petro-

A movement is on foot to permit the
