cago, made public by the federal reserve
bank of Chicago, are as follows: Mich

9TH district), $i06,085, ,050; Indiana.
so, ,950 Illinois, outside Of the city

$76,23l, $50; Iowa, $82,928. 400. To-
tai, $406. 425,800. Van Buren, county
subscriptions amounted to the sum Of
SAL $50. which, although short of her
apportionment, compares favorably
with other counties, both in our own
state and in the other states of the dis
trict.
Thirty-three Michigan counties, just
one-half the total number, fell below
the amount subscribed by Van Buren,.
Among them were the wealthy counties
Of Branch, Clinton, Gratiot. Hillsdale,
Huron and Sanilac, each Of them equal
lied at about the same or for a greater
sum than Van Buren,.
1t may be regretted that Van Buren
failed to reach her full apportionment,
But there were many unusual difficulties
to be overcome and, everything taken
into consideration, she has no reason
to be ashamed of the result accom-
plished.

Tuesday afternoon with a 90 calibre
rifle. He was a big gray rat and
was doing his "bit" for Germany by
destroying some seed corn. A large
number of his associates are still at
large in the residence districts as well
as the business section. These big
rats evidently stole ride into this
country in empty grain cars as few
years ago they were never seen here
They are becoming very numerous and
are doing considerable damage in the
stores and warehouses. 1t may be

.Conserva of Fruit and
Vegetables by Evaporation

| ital and experts to handle it, while
any grower could establish an evap-
orator and run it himself and that
capital required was small, very
small, when the saving was consider
ed. He recommended strongly that
where one man had not enough to
warrant building, two or more should
combine and do their own evaporating,
then there could be no doubt as to the
paying out.
Saving in Freight
Herein lies another advantage the
producer of evaporated products has,
big advantage over the shipper of
fresh fruits: The latter pays the
freight and the former does not. All
evaporated products are quoted f. o. b.
shipping point, so the producer is not
worried on that score. Again, he
knows that his product will get to the
buyer in the same condition that it
started in, and there will be no dis
count for waste at destination.
No Shortage of Capital
Capital is usually ready to invest in
anything that is good, and welcomes
any manufacturing business that will
help a community and incidentally
themselves, but as the evaporation is
new, they hold back,
and the people that are the backbone
If the state are allowed to suffer en-
1rmous waste. 1t is therefore urged
IN the growers that they combine and
'orm their own cooperative associa-
ions accompanies, and handle their
,wn waste, turning it into profit. All
hat can be produced can be sold, and
here are those ready here to con-
ract it for three or five years.

all afford the treat. Then, too, it comes at

WHAT DOES ECONOMY MEAN?

Some good people in Moscow as elsewhere seem
to suffering from economical jim-jams They show
symptoms of crawling into their holes and pulling the
holes in after them.
This will do If such policy were followed
to any extent it would work tremendous harm; it
would never do particle of good.
How long would it take this nation to bring the
kaiser his and establish the rights for which
contendng if everybody followed the lead of
these timid souls whose highest ambition seems to be
to crawl away and hide?
That's not Americanism. 1t is not common sense
What's the of fighting for open if our chief
desire is to burrow in cyclone cellars?
No, this is not what is meant by economy, by
cutting waste, by proper conservation of
sources.
Economy thrifty and careful administra-
ton; management without loss or waste; as house
Keeper accustomed to economy, but not parsimony;
often frugaty retrenchmeet in expenditures strict
outstanding of resources"
But even good and wise as economy is in all its
meanings and ramfications, there is still i'm
peratve duty resting upon the people of America. 1t
is develop to its highest point This
