BARNETTE-HARRISON

Miss Ellen, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Barnette OF this city, and Mr..
Edloe S. Harrison OF the 500 were
united in marriage at Detroit on Wed
nesday, April nth. The groom is a
member of CO. M. 33rd Michigan Infan-
try, which is part of the same regiment
as our Company !, and is stationed for
the present at Fort Wayne. He re-
ceived few days furlough and they
were quietly married at Methodist
parsonage in Detroit, the pastor being
friend of the groom.
Mrs. Harrison is an East Jordan girl
and since schooling days, has followed
her vocation as teacher in the public
schools of our state. For few years
she was with the schools at the 500,
and now has charge of the fourth grade
OF our Central School
Al present the "At Home" is indefi-
mite and Mr.. Harrison rejoined his
Company at Fort Wayne for service

FOOD SUPPLY is
FIRST PROBLEM

Discussing the problem of agricul-
ture and food supply both for home and
Entente consumption, DIR. Graham
Lusk, of Cornell Medical College advo-
Gates sending our troops to Europe, but
believes this would be impractical un-
less the Government could provide
food in sufficient quantity both to main
tain national welfare and TO supply the
Entente. American soldiers must be
supplied from the American COM
missariat. The United States Army
commissary has evolved the best and
most comprehensive army ration in the
world. Our soldiers would not thrive
on the rations issued European troops,
and poorly fed army is a dangerous
animal. When the American troops
were in China during the Boxer re-
bellion our commissary was the wonder
of the Allies. Spring planting is here
and il behooves every producer in
the land to do his bit in meeting the
heavy drafts for foodstuffs which we
will have to meet. The American
woman will be no slower than her
European sister in donning jumpers
and laboring in the fields. II is healthy
work and il is fine patriotism.

SMALL POTATOES
FOR SEED.

The high price at which potatoes are
selling and the scarcity of good seed
potatoes will cause growers to use very
small and inferior seed much more
commonly this season than usual.
Potatoes which are little larger
than good sized hens egg if taken
from productive and disease free hills
are desirable for seed purposes. Po-
tatoes of this size taken from fields
which are known TO have been pure as
to variety and practically free from
disease will not be Objectionable. Such
seed should be planted whole.
Potatoes which are much smaller
than hens egg especially when the
general condition OF the crop from
which they were taken is unknown
may result in the development OF a
large per centage of diseased hills and
a corresponding reduction in yield.
Very small seed whether planted whole
or cut will enhance the danger of loss
from diseases and unfavorable weather
conditions because the plants which
grow from such seed do not get as good
start as from larger seed
The potato plant is dependent upon
the seed piece for its entire develop
ment for some time after the plant be-
gins to grow. Large seed will almost
invariably produce stronger plants than
very small seed. All seed should be
treated for scab and black scurf before
planting. For directions as to method
Of treating the seed write the Michigan
Agricultural College, East Lansing.
Horticultural Department,
Mich. Agricul. College.

ALBA SAW MILL
DESTROYED BY FIRE,

The big saw mill plant of the Ander-
son handle and lumber company at
Alba was completely destroyed by fire
early Thursday morning, The watch
man discovered the fire at lis, but the
fire fighting means of the mill and
village were insufficient to cope with
the flames, and the whole plant was
soon reduced to ashes. The cause OF
the fire is unknow.
The loss is estimated at $751; 900, with
$4,000 insurance. The company had
1000, 900 feet OF logs in the yard and
the prospects are reported good for the
rebuilding of the plant.
This mill was Alba's only industry
and its loss would be a serious blow to
the welfare of the village.

THERE ARE TREASURES
in YOUR
BACK YARD

There's treasure buried in every
mans back yard, says state board of
health bulletin; but to find it each man
must dig for it himself, he cannot dele
gate the work to an employe.
This is the time OF year for garden
digging, and the state board of health
is handing out the advice to all to dig
in their back yards, not chiefly for the
treasure in vegetables though that is
not by any means inconsiderable with
potatoes lowering around the $500
mark but for the treasure of health.
In spite of all that medical science
has discovered, it has never discovered
anything that can take the place of
good old DR.. Sun and DR.. Wind and Dr.
Open-Air. And there is something in
the close contact with free mother
earth that has revivifying and medi-
cinal effect on the human system.
Especially is the advice to make the
most OF the backyard gardens trea-
sure of health handed out in view of
the tuberculosis problem in Michigan
There is a great cry throughout the
state OF erecting tuberculosis sanitar-
iums. And they are needed unques-
tionably. But if every man would make
the most OF the health he can dig up
with a spade in his own yard, far fewer
sanitariums land sanitariums for that
matter too would be needed.
This is an old legend, the bulletin
continues, that rich man, dying, re-
vealed to his son that there was large
amount OF treasure hidden i'm his vine
yard. The son dug up every inch OF
ground TO find it. And while there
was no gold there, the increase in the
grape crop as result of the stirring OF
the earth was so large that in reality il
netted the son much treasure. So also,
even though the backyard garden
costs more than the vegetables bring
still the gardener finds real treasure
of health.
