gardens. They must report once a
week ON the condition of their plants
and tell in what manner they are car
ry'nc out their work. An experiment

Of the entire class, where studies in
plant life, etc, are made
He stated that a great deal OF in
terest is taken in the work at the La
Sale high school and saw no reason
why the class would not be well for
the local school

suggestions for the Improvement OF
the rural schools. did not deliver his

garage yesterday closed a contract
for the Chalmers agency in this VI
cinity The agency was placed by the
James Levy Motor Co. OF Chicago,

The increasing popularity of the

Visitors to the hig Detroit plant OF
the Chalmers Motor Company have
long commented upon the double line
of cups and trophies which flank the
entrance to the general Offices The
array rivals the show windows of the
prominent silversmiths at Christmas
time and represents an outlay to don
ors of thousands Of dollars.

back trophy won at the Giants Des

lection Of Chalmers trophies now mum
bers hfty.six BY winning the freefor

ton all won in competition on track
speedway or hillclimb. All were cap

the older trophies are the Asa G
Gambler trophy won at Atlanta in 1908

The Brotherhood chieftains will pre-

threat to call strike on March II,
which will have evolved into gener.

their parts. But above all else was
the motive behind the whole affair. A
score Of energetic men fathered the
idea and put 1t into execution. Three
hundred people were drawn by their
