Michigan Needs Breeding Animals.

Michigan Needs Breeding Animals.
Figures obtained by Prof. G. A

this situation. Professor Brown says
Michigan might well at this time ex
tend a helping hand TO Montana, for
conditions have been such In that
state that much breeding stock will
go to the block unless II is disposed

M. A. C. AIDS FARM BOYS
Will Give Shortened Course During
Eight Weeks In Winter.

East Lansing, Mich.-The knOwl-
edge that many youths in the rural
communities of Michigan would like TO
take up the farm training offered In
college, hut are unable to do so be-
cause they cannot be spared from
home for more than a few weeks In
the winter, has led the Michigan Ag-
ricultural college to provide a special
"short course" of eight weeks. This
course will open on January 8 and
will continue until the first week In
March.
The training which II is planned TO
give the young men from the country
will be practical as distinguished from
the scientific, or, in other words, only
the disable portions of the regular four
years course will be offered. This is
expected to enable practically any boy
to enter college who wishes to do so,
since an ordinary common school edu-
cation is all that Is required.
But while the instruction will last
only eight weeks, the most capable
members Of the college teaching staff
will be employed.
II is expected TO make the short
course of value also in lining up the
young men who attend for the coming
summers food campaign by pointing
out methods which the farmer can
most satisfactorily employe in meet
Ing war emergencies.
Young men interested have been In
vited TO write TO the president OF
NJ A. c., in East Lansing, for more
detailed information.

Famous Comedian on Way to

English port to one in America, to
make his farewell tour under the di-

many persons who saw him when he
made other tours. His latest ap-
pearance was about two years ago.
While in the city he will speak at
a Dig meeting before the local Young

Lauder is one of the big features
on the stage to-day who has es-
chewed farewells. He has repeatedly
told his audiences that he would soon
be with them again and thousands
have looked forward to that fact. But
like many other things and fields of
endeavor, the great world war has
changed things for the famous come

Free Energy Generator Would

| Washington, Oct. 5.-Will single
stroke of inventive genius win this
world war as it has won every other
war the United States has ever
fought?
Despite President Wilson's warn
| ing that the country must not sit

| ington is excited over a new inven-
tors system that will, if it's inven-
tors claims materialize, revolutionize
| warfare over night and end the con-

The system is free energy gen.
orator" and its inventor is Garabel
/ L. K. Glragossian, an Armenian me-
| chanic, who has been working on
his plan in Boston the greater part
of twenty-six years. Here are some
of the things he says it will do:
Drive battleship any distance,
without stop for fuel.
Propel an airplane around the
world.
Give an airplane strength to
carry thousands of pounds of mu-
nitions.
Enable an airplane to wear ar
NOR heavy enough to turn any anti
| aircraft guns missiles.
Send uorpedoes at greater speed.
Practically double the speed of
steam engines.
Other than to state that his sys-
tenn of utilizing free energy is as
revolutionary as Franklin's discovery
of electricity, Giragossian has not
publicly described his theory. So
radical are his assertions that they
would be dismessed with a shrug
and smile, had he not in secret
demonstrations backed up his state
metns. Official action has been taken
and if he can make good on a big
scale the United States will con-
tribute more powerfully than any
imagination had conceived to win
ming the war from Germany.

ever, may make use of it. That was
his only request.
The Patents Committee persuaded
the Committee on Rules there was
something in "Garabed" with the re-
suit that the Rules Committee in
duced the House to lay aside all

After debate, the bill went through

complish, is not yet ready to describe

PUBLIC SAFETY
IS ECONOMICAL
Governor Declares 1t Has
Done Excellent Work and
Endorses Cooperation

Members of the State Defense
Commission and representatives OF
tho Public Safety Committee OF
pennsylvania, spent two hours to-
day planning the joint work of the
two bodies for the remainder of the
year, and Governor Brumbaugh is
sued a statement praising the Public
Safety Committee for the economical
manner in which 1t had handled the
funds appropriated to it.
Lieutenant Governor McClain,
treasurer of the commission, has
been in constant touch with the COM
mittee and has reported that in al
most all of the items appropriated,
there is a balance uneXpended," said
the Governor. 1T is no more than
fair to state that such is the case.
The two bodies are absolutely work.
ing together and the state commits
sion is we'll pleased with the meth
DDS employed by the commission
and the service it has rendered the
Commonwealth"
The Governor said that the COM
mittee had actually spent less than
100000 since it had been in exist
ence. I'VE appreciate this because we
are holding the funds entrusted to
us for any emergency which may
arise" said the Governor.
At the request of the safety COM
mittee representatives, Colonel Lewis
+. Better and Lewis S. Sadler, the
commission authorized the Governor
to proceed with appointment of vol
unteer police under the Sproul act
and 445 men will be commissioned
as volunteer policemen in these eight
countless LpZerne, Crawford, Colum-
bia, Washington, Cumberland, Law
renee, Mexican and Potter. These
men all made personal application
and were approved by local safety
committees and by Major John c.
Groome, chairman.
The commission appropriated $15,-
900 to continue the seventy-two dis
trict secretaries of local committees
until January l, and allowed $4,000
for incidental expenses, which the
Governor stated had been heavy as
during the food conservation propa-
ganda letters were sent to every
farmer, and much matter mailed.
Mr. McClaIn will pass upon the eX-
penSeS.
