MAIDS AND MATRONS ARE
ENTERTAINED AT FULLER'S.

Mrs. Frank Fuller entertained the
members of the Maids and Matrons

to which all did ample justice. After
the debris had been cleared away,
the afternoon was spent in playing

quickly, and in an exceedingly short
time the Honk, Honk of the automo-

Some of The Reasons Advanced Why
This Amendment Should Be En-
dorsed by the Voters of Michigan.

1t will not affect cities, counties,
townships or individuals who do not
need legally constructed drains.
1t will place the country districts
on a par with cities in the matter of
bonding for drains, the same as cities
bond for sewers.
1t will permit drainage districts to
issue bonds and thereby make it
possible for a farmer to make his
drained land earn the cost Of the
drain before he has to pay for it.
1t will be at least 20 per cent on
the first cost of drains owing to the
fact that at present the drain job is
let to contractors who must be paid in
orders due in from one to three years
and pay the discount for cashing
same.
1t is the only way in which Mich
igan can get the larger outlet drains
very necessary now to prevent flood
ing, as the present manner of paying
for same would be burdensome, if
not prohibitive.
1t will make it possible for farmers
to have their lateral drains construct
ed at the same time as main drains,
thereby receiving the benefits of such
drainage before being asked to pay
for it and not afterward as is now
the case, the whole cost of main drain
and the laterals necessary being pro-
hibitive if paid at once.
1t will be optional with the tax
payers whether they bond for each
drain or not, such bonding being done
only when so requested by the people
who have to pay for the drains, and
when the people on any drain wish
to pay for them in one or two years
they shall have the right to do so in
every case.
1t was earnestly requested by the
Governor of Michigan in his in
augural address and has passed both
branches of the legislature with
scarcely q dissenting vote. Therefore
il is for you and every one to vote
"YES" on this amendment.
