ASK EVERY FARMER
TO RAISE A CALF

East Lansing, Mich, May A.
"Raise a calf'' has been adopted as
a slogan by the animal husbandry de-
prtment of the Michigan Agricultural
College to boost beef production in
Michigan. The department declares
that if every farmer possessing 5O
acres of land or. over raises and fat
tens but one additional animal, the
move will in 1913 increase the state 8
dressed meat supply by at least 81
100000 pounds for shipment out
side, or will provide 81 pounds more
per year for every individual within
the state.
"Many farmers" the statement
adds, "have been slaughtering their
calves, but the raising OF one animal
would place burden on none. Dairy
farmers should keep their male
calves. The animals can be raised
and fattened on 50-acre farm with
out the cost of feeding ever being
felt.
"The step would go long way to-
wards enabling the state to enlarge
its food supply"

theatrical line which you can think of.
Perhaps Franklin Ii. grew too big for
any stage, perhaps transportation of
his great form became increasingly
complicated. At any rate, he was
finally persuaded into the movies. and
joined the L-KO Komedy Kompany,
where he found himself an Immediate
success. He says that he is five feet
nine in height, and that he weighs
but you would not believe that anyway.
He also declares that he is a wrestler.
boxer and all-round athlete. He has
been heard frequently to insist, with
all the earnestness of which he is ca
pable (and that is some earnestness.
believe us), that his tremendous bulk
Is composed Of solid muscle, and that
there Is no fat about him at all
He is starred in the L-KO Komedy.
"Fatty's Feature Fillum," which he
directed himself. When you see it you
will realize that however much fat
there may be about his body there is
absolutely no trace Of 1T in his brain.
The picture is scream from start to
finish, and a real novelty as well.

Eagles Pledge Loyalty.

\ Resolutions plsdging loyalty and

ceremonies. Seth Q. Pulver deliv-
cred a stirring address on the flag,
and M. +. Grove made an appeal for

talked on the necessity of obtaining
recruits for Company H, and Ed

Parents Guests At School.

Friday afternoon the parents ano
teachers meeting was held in the
BRYANT school with about $50 guests
present. The meeting was by far the
most successful of its kind ever held
in the city. Miss Violet Crane and
her corps of teachers had arranged
an excellent program, edifying to
both teachers and parents.
Mrs. Anna Hurrell Bilhimer, form
erly teacher in the local schools
gave a talk on Cleanliness. Mrs
L. L. Conn spoke on "Children s
Rights" and Mrs. IN. Bartholomew
and Mrs. Arthur Let's gave an inter
esting discussion Of the latter talk.
Mrs. A. A. Sherman spoke on Glove
of Children and Mrs. N. R. Walsh
gave a fine talk on "The Patriotic
Mother" Mrs. P. S. Wilson sang
two pleasing vocal solos and Lester
Whitehead rendered piano solo.
The children from the second and
fifth grades sang school songs.
The Bryant school teachers have
done excellent work the past year in
bringing the teachers and mothers
into closer relationship and better
mutual understanding. The health,
standard has been raised and the
moral and intellectual welfare of
the pupils has been served.
