MYSTIC SCHOOL FOR
 SALE TO THE STATE. Mrs. Clara Michigan Makes Her Re- port to Governor.
,SafSd1ld Sure

Supt Clara M. H. Michigan of the Mystics Oral school for the deaf on Wednesday submitted her biennial re- port for the two years ending Oct 1, 1916, together with the report of Prin- cipal Tobia Brill and Treasurer c. H. Latham. The school closed last June with 65 pupils and as in the previous report requiSition is made for an ap-
 propriatfon for another dormitory ESQ
 that boys and girls may occupy sepa-
 rate buildings and have proper play
 room and hospital facilities"
 The report says the present high
 cost of living and ever increasing sal
 aries demand an increase of the all lowance of $500 per pupil to s325. The
 superintendent thinks it wise for the
 state to own it's school for the deaf terest in the school for a just compen- sation. 'I have never conducted the school to make money" continues the report. T have never received com penSation for my services. I am still willing to. go on and manage the school to the best of my ability, but life ist uncertain. I am older than I was Fl years ago, when the school opened, and I fully realize that if the state owned the school it's future would be secure.
 T wish this school might be the pioneer of what I consider an ideal school for the deaf, that is. one con- ducted entirely on the cottage plan. with Is children in each cottage, and teachers and a housekeeper in each one. The expense of maintenance would be somewhat increased, but the children would be greatly benefited" concludes the superintendent's report.
 Principal Brill explains the splendid industrial training of the boys and girls and praises the work of the teachers and officers of the school. Treasurer Latham's report shows ex- penditures of $23.471.35 in 1915 and $25, 5,503.47 in 1916, of which more than one-third is for salaries, and receipts in 1915 of $23, ,7S7.76 including the state appropriation of s19,5145O, and in 1916 of $26. .016.43, of which $19,025.13 came from the state.

The wild turkey, very much like
its big brother, the bronze, with

u S. Acts Help Make Farming Profitable

crops. IL permits a farmer to place
produce in a bonded warehouse and
secure a receipt for it. on this
receipt he can easily borrow money,
for it represents gilt-edged security.
The risk which in the old days the
banker took i'm lending money. even
TO farmers with good credit, is elm
mated by this method and the rates
of interest therefore lowered. In
addition, the farmer now has a
much larger field in which 10 nego-
tate his loans than in the days
when he was practically limited to
those bankers who knew him per-
sonally.
The cotton futures act and the
United States grain standards act
are cited as further examples of re-
cent progressive agrarian legislation.
The Ia ter of these" Mr.. Vrooman
says. lis a step in the direction OF
national efficiency and national
economic preparedness" It's eff
feet Will be markedly beneficial on
our foreign commerce in grain. OF
the cotton futures act il is said that
the net result already has been that
the prices of cotton which are now
published every day throughout the
country reflect the actual changes
in the value of cotton rather than
quotations of arbitrary fluctuations
created by gamblers for their own
benefit, as was too often the case
in the past.
II nm the affart IF these
and other laws, Mr.. NroOman says:
1T is clear. 1 think, that as a re-
suit of this splendid program OF
constructive legislation. a new ag-
ricultural epoch has begun. At last
what for so long was merely the
hope. the aspiration. the dream Of
the widely scattered. imperfectly or
ganized tillers of our soil has he
come the avowed policy OF the fed
eral department of agriculture. and
has been written by congress into
the law Of the land"
In conclusion the assistant secre-
tary saws: There is indeed still
need for organized effort on the part
OF farmers. still need for educational
campaigns in behalf OF measures 10
meet those requirements OF the
farmer which still remain rnsatis-
fed But il is a great thing that
the government of the nation that

duction at last is meeting the farm
er at least half way and has mani
tested a willingness. and friendly
desire. 10 cooperate with him in the
