LEGISLATORS QUARREL.

One OF the prettiest scraps that 1t
has ever been our pleasure 10 witness
took place during the closing days of
the session and it occurred, too, be-
tween two Cousin Jacks from the up
per peninsula Senator Jas. NJ. Will
cox (better known as Capt. JIM OF
Calumet, and Representative Thomas
f. Francis OF Ishpeming, known in
the house as Bro Francis. Two years
ago Bro. Francis secured the adop-
ton OF bill establishing a branch
meteorological laboratory i'm some
central part OF the upper peninsula,
expecting OF course that the labora-
tory would be located at Ishpeming.
This DR.. Abrams Of Houghton acting
for the state board OF health, did not
do, believing that the mining school
was the proper place for IT, This did
not suit Bro. Francis and he immed
lately got busy writing letters to the
governor. members Of the state board
of health and the state legislature.
He also visited various portions OF the
state but the laboratory continued To
remain in the confines OF the mining
school, although every one realized
that it was not strictly speaking. the
central part Of the upper peninsula.
Bro. Francis at the present session of
the legislature introduced a bill which
had for its object the locating of the
laboratory al Ishpeming This bill
passed the house. by small majority
the latter part of the session and then
was sent to the senate for passage
Here it bucked UP against Capt Jim
Wilcox, who Immediately got busy
with the result that the senate backed
Capt. Wilcox and the bill was put Ia
sleep and the laboratory will un-
doubtodly remain In the mining school
where the writer believes It ought to
stay, because OF tile splendid appara-
tus that the school contains aud also
because Houghton has a large portion
OF the upper peninsula population. II

peace. They would. however, find
themselves obliged 10 do so owing 10
the enormous material loss which
would be inflicted upon the entire
country by our capturing several OF
the large Atlantic seaport towns at
which converge the threads OF the
whole wealth OF the nation.
We should. within short space OF
time be in position to seize several
wealthy cities. Such towns would
suffer heavily through the cutting of
OF their sources OF supply, by the de-
struction OF all buildings used for the
service OF the state, or for the pur-
poses OF defense or commerce. We
should capture all supplies and trans
port found in them, and they would,
in addition, be penalized by our levy

that Germany is the only great pow
er which single-handed would be able
to attack the United States. II is true
that England could successfully land
an invading army, but she would not
be in a position to defend Canada,
which would accordingly bear the
brunt of American revenge for fail
ure in resisting the British at sea.
But apart from England no great
power except Germany has at her
disposal a sufficiently large number
of transports TO render possible the
invasion of the United States.

Through the new war preparedness
act passed by the Michigan legisla,
ture at the session just closed, pro
vision has been made for caring for
the dependents OF soldiers and sail
ors who enlist from this state for
federal service.
This act makes available any nee
essary part OF the $5,O00.O00 fund
which Is being administered by the
war preparedness board, and the
board insists that II be made clear
that the payment to dependents is not
charity II is instead. part OF the
wages OF the man who has volun-
teered to defend his country. 1t is
his right and due, and goes TO his
family not as gift, but as the
states part OF his compensation.
I'VE are going TO strip the admin
istration OF this fund OF its unessen-
tials," said Auditor General Fuller in
discussing II recently. "The state
already has the machinery in it's
probate courts. for collecting the
information which we must have and
in proving the identity OF dependents.
The dependent simply satisfies the
lprobate of his or her county. that he
or she is the person entitled TO par
ticipate in the fund, sends the state
ment on to us and the relief Is i'm
mediately forthcoming.
THE heart-breaking feature OF re-
lief measures in the past has been
the delays i'm payment and the vexa-
tious formalities TO be observed. We
intend mailing the checks twice a
month without a moments avoidable
delay and We also propose to cut
out every formality that can be
spared.
The Red Cross which has volun-
teered its services. will doubtless be
of great assistance in collecting.
quietly and efficiently the needed
data.
Application blanks will be put in
the hands of every soldier and sailor

CDean r. S. Shaw, head OF NJ. A. c.
department OF agriculture. counsels
against sacrifice OF breeding stock)
In the hue and cry which have been
raised throughout the state and ma
tion TO spur farmers on to producing
bigger crops, Dean Robert S. Shaw,
head OF the department OF agriculture
In the Michigan Agricultural colleeg,
sees possibilities OF danger 10 the
livestock industry. Unless farmers
and livestock men" he declares,
carefully conserve and save their
breeding stock, the state will in a
short time be hard pressed to meet
the nations demands for meat, and
blood for new herds.
Unprecedented efforts" said Dean
Shaw, ARE being put forth by great
variety OF organizations to stimulate
increased crop production through
OF meeting an impending food crisis,
not only in America, but in all parts
OF the world as well Farmers are
being urged TO produce maximum
crops OF staples such as wheat, rye,
corn, oats. barley. potatoes and beans.
Boys and Girls clubs are being
organized TO increase vegetable pro-
duction, and city, town and village
gardening is being stimulated and
fostered as never before. The easily
perishable vegetable, by partial re-
placement of the staple, may effect
some saving in the latter, but the real
relief at home and abroad is depend
ent upon the production Of meats
milk, wool. work, cereals, edible le
gumes aud tubers.
"In the nationwide propaganda to
increase crop production, the animal
industry has not, up to date, been
given due attention. Publicity has
been limited largely TO the banker
and TO boys and girls pig and calf
clubs. Any stimulus applied solely
to cash crop production is certain to
result in diminished animal produc-
ton.
On January l. 1917, there were in
the United States 2l,l26OOO horses,
4,6S9, 900 mules, G3,617OOO cattle, AS
43S,OOO sheep, and 67,453,OOO hogs
During the previous year there was
slight decrease in horses, sheep and
swine, with some increase I'm cattle
and mules. Since 1910 the number
of sheep has decreased. The increase
in mules, horses, cattle and swine
has been slight and not in keeping
with our increased population and the
combined home and foreign demands
Estimates indicate that fully fifty
per cent OF the breeding stocks OF
Europe have already been destroyed.
which means that should the war
cease soon, they will have to rely on
other sources for some of their meat,
milk and wool supplies for two or
three years to come Prices offered
on our American markets for meat
animals are so dangerously high at
present that sacrifices OF breeding
stocks are apt to occur The next
three years would seem to present
an uneQualed opportunity for the
American stoclman to increase his
product, pursuing la part methods OF
production closely associated with
the maintenance of soil fertility Ey-
cry agency in The whole country en-
gagged in stimulating agricultural pro-
duotion, should ever keep in mind the
Importance OF maintaining a proper
balance which Will stimulate the pro
duction of animals as we'll as crops"

HOW GERMANY HOPED TO
CONQUER UNITED STATES.

In pamphlet entitled oversee OPP
, erations: A Study" published in
Berlin i'm 1901, Baron Franz Wilhelm
Leopold Heinrich Friedrich Won Edel-
sheim, OF the I'd Uhlan regiment OF
the guard. unfolded scheme for the
invasion Of the United States OF
America. The one OF the pamphlet
exhibits Pan -Germanism" in its most
aggressive form.
That the scheme was not merely the
idle or uptopian dream OF mere
individual officer suffering from pro-
verbal Prussian swell-headedness is
|, proved by the fact that the pamphlet
was published to promote military
study in the Army and Navy club OF
Berlin.
" the course OF his pamphlet, Bar
OF On Edelshelm says:
.ate years we Germans have had
ca 8e for political irritation with the
United States, due largely TO CONNER
cial reasons. Up TO now differences
have been for the mosst part settled
through our giving way. But policy
OF surrender must have its limits.
The question for US to consider is
what plans must eventually be de-
yeloped to put stop to the over
reachings by the United States which
are detrimental to our interests. 1t
IS by armed action that we must ulti-
kmately enforce our will upon that
country.
To achieve that purpose our prime
instrument in this case is for our
navy. The German feet would have
every prospect Of VIGOROUSLY encoun-
tering the naval forces OF the United
States, as those forces are divided in
to two sections a great distance apart
Owing to the vast area OF the Unit
ed States It would be out of the ques-
tion for an army 10 invade the inter-
ior with view TO the conquest Of the
country But there is good reason TO
expect that military operations on the
Atlantic coast would prove to be a
victorious enterprise. Moreover, the
cutting off of the main arteries
through which exports from the en-
tire country pass would create such a
depressed state OF affairs that the
government would be willing to offer
MS fair conditions OF peace.
II German squadron were accom-
lpanied by a fleet OF transports 1t may
be presumed that once a landing had
begun il would only take four weeks
for a German army TO begin their
campaign on American soil Within
such short period of time there is
no doubt that the United States would
be unable to place in the field forces
rs large as our invading army
At the present time G9O1) the regu-
lar American army numbers $4,000
men, OF whom not more than $4,000
would be actually available for home
defense. Again, of these troops al
Aeast 10000 would be required to de-
fend the Indian territories and garri-
son the forts on the coast. So there
would remain but 10000 regular
troops TO take the field against tho
invaders.
In addition to the regular forces,
there are about 100000 militia, but
the greater part Of them declined 70
obey the call to arms in the last war
Further the militia Is badly armed. A
proportion of them still carry muzzle
leaders. and as for drilling, that is
even worse than their lack Of equip
