CITIZENS OF TOMORROW

Greed, hysteria, and maudlin sem

paign to damage childhood in war
time. At Albany and at Washington
there is talk already of suspending
child labor laws. Greed explains
partly. Hysteria helps. - People are
in mood to do excitedly and with
out reason what Europe did under
compulsion. Then, too, maudlin
sentiment is saying, "How sweet to
let the dear children do their bitlr
Sweet! Europe has tried all that.
European children have cut school
work to work on farms. They have
shaved in munition plants. They have
drudged by night. The result has
been an immense increase in juvenile
rascality and an immense decrease
in juvenile vigor of body and mind.
The same countries that began by let
ting the children do their bit are now
endeavoring to mend the mischief.
Assuming that the war may last two
years, the children's bureau at Wash

work in the library of congress exam

garding the conditions of child life in

means easy, and the most of it never

In themselves, both these calamities
will tend toward the still greater evil

care that neither greed nor hysteria
nor maudlin sentiment aggravates
misfortunes inevitable when a nation
puts forth its whole strength in a
war of long duration.

HOUSING
CODE WILL Benefit
State Law VIII Make officials to
Improve Family Conditions
at Home

Lansing, May 23.-The new state
housing code, applying as it does to
all but the smaller cities of the state,
is expected to have a great effect on
tuberculosis in Michigan. The anti
tuberculosis workers of the state have
insisted right along that disease is
not a matter of individuals but of
family groups, and the housing code
aims to improve the conditions of the
''home plant"
Frequently a tuberculosis sufferer
is taken out of. a home and brought
TO sanatorium for treatment. While
he is chasing the cure there the same
conditions continue in his home that
gave him the disease, and when he
comes back cured another member is
perhaps down with it, and so on in
definitely. While curing each person
individually the home conditions re-
main the same, while the logical
thing to do would be to change the
home conditions in the first place and
so prevent the disease from attacking
more than the first one in the family.
Because tuberculosis is one of the
most insidious of diseases known, the
ecect of home conditions in spreading
it is often disregarded. A family
grows accustomed to the disease long
before it is recognized as tuberculosis
and does not usually realize that radi,
cal changes of living or even of the
architecture of the house are needed
to safeguard the whole family group
against a similar fate. 1t is expect
ed that the new housing code will do
its share toward that end.

POINT TO CIVIL WAR DEBT

There is considerable criticism and
opposition in business and financial
circles to the projected plan of sad
ding the debt of the present war upon
this generation. 1t has been pointed
out that the debt of the Civil war was
not imposed in its entirety upon the
country during that period but was
spread over two later generations and
in fact has not been fully paid yet.
In Europe the policy of the various
governments is to tax future genera
tons with their share of the enorm-
Gus burden of expense contracted thus
far during the thirty-three months
war-a debt to date of more than a
hundred billions of dollars and grow
ing constantly. 1t is admitted by fin
ancial authorities of the warning
countries that any attempt to collect
the cost of the present war from
the people of this generation would
he suicidal and would suffocate
the industrial and agricultural re-
sources of the various countries
which 81 exactly the opinion of the
financial authorities of the United
States.

SERVE YOUR COUNTRY

The Michigan Food Preparedness
committee has issued a bulletin under
the heading: "Serve Your Country,
Enlist Under Kernel Corn" The ar
gument is good and we herewith give
it to Banner readers:
Serve your country! Enlist under
Kernel Cornl Grow corn---Michigan's
greatest war crop. More corn means
more MEAT; more MILK, more
FOOD. Corn is sure crop. Seed
cost is small Profitable returns as
sured. Corn will produce more food
with less labor than any other crop.
Kernel Corn's code arms:
/. Plow every available acre.
Plow early, deep and well.
2. Fertilize with manure and acid
phosphate. Phosphate pumps grain
and hastens maturity.
3. Work seed bed thoroughly.
Pack with roller-then harorw and
disk.
A. Test seed for termination. Use
"rag doll" or "sawdust box" test.
5. Grade see-discard butts and
tips. Make three grades with hand
grader or by Smelling by hand.
6. Regulate planter to drop ac-
curately. Fit plates to- size of seed.
z. Plant at proper depth. One
inch on heavy or wet soils, two inches
on lighter land.
8. Harrow once soon after plant
ing with spike-tooth harrow. Use
weeder until plants are six inches
high.
9. Cultivate frequer tly. Close to
plants during early cultivation. Shall
low after thirty days to prevent root
pruning.
10. Harvest the largest crop which
your effort and the season will per-
NIT.
GROW CORNl Bumper crops mean
victory and prosperity.

Summer in Michigan

In the summertime in Michigan,
The very best place in the world,
The days are bright with sunny light,
And into the air is whirled
The sounds of gleeful children
Playing at eventide;
In this land of all great riches
The land Of the peoples pride.
In the heart of dear old Michigan
Are the finest of the farms,
Raising great crops of wheat and
oats
AS well as fields of corn.
There the boys and girls go fishing
And swimming in the lakes,
And eat their lunches at the lakeside,
OF sandwiches, buns and cakes.
And after the summer is over
Then back to school they go.
They study hard the whole term
through
And pass their grades you know.

The Prevalence of Measles

/. Measles, although not generally re-
gadred as a serious disease, has this
year taken a large toll in human lives,
as is proven by the number of deaths
reported to the State Boad Of Health.
The really serious feature of this
disease is the complications which
may arise during the pogress of the
disease, or while the patient is con-
valescent. These complication are
sometimes never overcome, and many
adults can date their physical condi-
tion back to the time when tehy had
the measles.
Care should be taken that your
child shall not become exposed to this
disease. You cannot afford to take
chances with your baby.
As public safeguard. health Off
GERS must quarantine all households
where measles exist, says DR.. Rich.

potatoes from this county for next
falls delivery at $1.00 bushel. Per-
sons wishing to receive a contract
direct from Mr.. Pruden should COM
municate with Mr.. LOOMS at Ionia.

having seed of any kind for sale
should advertise the fact through the

They seem to believe it will soon be
over and that there is no cause for
all this agitation and hub-bub in the
press and on LECTURE platform and IN

ment in not taking the war serious
ly, Ambassador Gerard has returned
TO us from some years spent In Ger
many. He knows Germany as we
who have not been there could never
know her. He has seen her during
the early days of the war in the full
flower Of her strength and he has
seen her after two years of battling
against her enemies, still undaunted,
still determined to go on at any cost,
and strange though il seem, confident
that God is on her side. 1t is not
probable that President Wilson, work.
ing on the certain knowledge that Mr..
Gerard must possess, is stirring up
the United States to such untoward
effort without just cause and due rea-
son.
It is foolhardy to refuse to face
the issue squarely as it is. 1t is nom
sense to figure on the foe being van
quished when we do not know that
such is the case and it is criminal to
go calmly along in the same old rut,
looking for nothing serious to hap
pen. It is within range Of possibility
that before we get through with it the
United States NAV be called upon to
issue double the credits that have al
ready been passed and required to
summon double the number Of men to
arms that are called for in the three
million draft
Citizens of every city, and state in

the pecuniary burden accruing from
this war; in the nature Of things,
fate will bequeath to the next genera
ton a handicap at once mental and
moral; but let US not take steps arti-

we need; but those are not all the
people who are going to work for our
country. Everybody in this county is
going to work, either voluntarily or
from compulsion. We are going to
have universal service on the farm
and in the United States we are going
to have universal service for every
man, woman and child. Those of you
who get in first can have the front
seat as a volunteer.
You have heard about "selective
CONSUMPTION" I'll tell you what that
is and how it works. Selective con-
scription means that the men who are
highly trained in any useful profess
sion shall not gosto the front. Men
who are adapted for use as officers
will not be allowed to enlist as
privates. They will be trained first:
Mechanics, munition workers, railroad
men, leaders in agriculture like the
county agents and the professors in
the colleges-these men will not be
selected for military CONSUMPTION be-
cause they are already doing their. bit
for their country in the most efficient
manner. The men who viii go to the
trenches are those who can be spar
ed without crippling the work behind
the battle lines. | predict that the
first to be conscripted from the south
will be those who are raising all cot
ton and no foodstuffs. ~
