BY PRODUCTS OF
THE CAMPAIGN

Lansing, Jan. 22.-Those who are en-.
gagged in the state board of health
tuberculosis survey are focusing atten-
tion on what they term the "by-pro-
ducts of the campaign" The fact is
urged that not only will the survey re-
duce the numbers of deaths from
tuberculosis, but also the number of
deaths from pneumonia, bronchitis,
grippe and other lung diseases. II the
health propaganda should take as firm
a hold on the people as the state board
of health would like to see ii take hold,
it would in time reduce materially even
common colds in the state.
In each county visited state nurses
gather statistics of the number of deaths
that have occurred from various lung
diseases, most of which are directly or
indirectly due to prolonged lack of
sufficient pure air. In nearly all
counties the death rate from the other
lung diseases is more than twice as
large as from tuberculosis itself, but il
is commonly held that many of the
deaths from the other diseases are
directly or indirectly attributable to
tuberculosis, SO that the death toll of
this disease is larger than the official
figures indicate.
: BY curbing the spread of tuberculosis
the state boari of health must neces-
sariy at the same time curb many Of
the other diseases. And while the Qos-
pei OF fresh air is not new, in many
places in the state it might just as we'll
be for ali the use that is made OF il,
the state heath workers declare. And
by giving new Impetus to this propa-
ganda the tuberculosis survey is help
ing to combat the other diseases as well
as tuberculosis.

Prevented Observance Of An
Client Ritual.

Raleigh, N. CATER a lapse of 81
years, the longest Masonic "compu-
Lication" on record came to ali nd
one night recently, when John Nlch-
OILS, master, formally "closed" a
meeting of Hiram Lodge, No. 40, which
began on April II, 1885. Gov. Thomas
w. Beckett, William w. Kitchen, for
merly governor Chief Justice Walter
Clark and many other prominent Ma
sons Of the state attended.
Four days before the original con-
vening of the lodge Raleigh had been
surrendered to the Union army under
Gen. William T. Sherman. News of
the assassination of President Lincoln
was received that evening after the
lodge had gone into session.
Gen. John A. Logan, later vice pres
ident, who was In command Of the
city, learned that a division Of negro
troops had threatened to burn Raleigh.
A major in Maine regiment, a Mason,
hurried to the lodge room and ad-
vised the master to send the brethren
to their homes until a heavy guard of
white troops, ordered by General Lo-
gan, could be thrown between the ne
gro soldiers and the city.
Mr.. Nichols was so excited by the
news that he failed to "close" the
lodge In due and ancient form. Now
again elected master at the age of
eighty-three years, after serving as
guard master Of the Grand Lodge of
the state. he repaired his neglect on
that occasion.

Farmers at Roundup Pass I'm
= portant Resolutions.

At the County Roundup Farmers
Institute at Deer Lake, Jan. 17-18, the
following resolutions were passed by
unanimous vote. The stand taken by
the farmers in these matters indicate
the surprising amount of interest which
. has recently developed ia better agri-
llture. The high prices which prevail
(ave doubtlessly proven to all that the
big business of farming is actually the
most profitable of all occupations, when
a good market is open FOR farm pro-
ducts.
MARKETING ASSOCIATIONS.
Recognizing the wastefulness in the
present system of individual buying and
selling practiced among farmers, We
endorse the efforts of the state office Of
markets in organizing farmers cooper
alive produce exchanges.
PRODUCERS ASSOCIATIONS.
Since consumers OF farm produce are
willing to pay better prices for stand
ard article properly graded and cor
rectly labelled, we also stand in favor OF
associations of farmers pledged to the
production of standard market varieties
graded and labelled according to the
requirements of law and the best
markets. AS beginning, we endorse
the plan for county potato growers
association.
SHEEP RAISING.
Believing that much of our waste and
eut-over land could be utilized to our
financial advantage for grazing sheep,
we stand in sympathy with any plan
proposed by the state legislature to
remedy the dog evil which we know
now stands in the way of profitable
sheep raising.
COUNTY AGENT.
In view of the fact that the future
success of agriculture in Charlevoix
county depends SO largely on the organ
lid efforts OF farmers, on the profit
e utilization of our waste lands, on
the introduction of better classes of live
stock, and on more scientific methods
of producing and marketing our crops,
we stand in favor of and fully endorse
the plan to secure a county leader in
this work in the person of county
agricultural agent.

HIGH COMPLIMENT
TO HIGH SCHOOL
EDITOR OF THE OUTLOOK De.
ClARES IT ONE OF THE BEST
HE HAS SEEN.

Nothing impressed Harold T. Pulsi'
fer, the associate editor Of the Out
look, on his visit to Maury county,
more than the County High School
Mr.. Pulsifer was taken through the
school by Prof. Galloway, Of the agri'
cultural department. He said that he
had expected to find the conventional
high school. but in this he was agree
ably disappointed. He declared that
the plant, the equipment and all were
OF the most modern character. MI
Pulsifer asked to be shown the curri'
culum and when this was done he was
again most agreeably surprised and
declared that truly in Maury county
the spirit of modern education has
been caught and that this school was
the finest type Of the present age. He
said that the South was really fortu
nate in having just really commenced
the erection of its high schools, be
cause they had suited them to the
needs of a modern age, while In the
North the buildings were constructed
to meet the old conventional needs.
