Thirty-third Regiment Arrived
There. Friday Last.

Detroit, March 3l-Arrival Friday OF
the Thirty-third Michigan infantry at
Fort Wayne was particularly marked
by the leisurely methods that have
been decidedly missing at the home

units. Since the first returning organ
izations detrained in January, marked
Rush." everything was hurried
through with view to mastering out
as fast as possible and the members
have always hurried and worked cheer
fully to that end.
But the Thirty-third men have the
true soldier-at-home bearing and are
going about their business OF moving in
with studied deliberation. The fact
that the regiment is TO be held in the
service for time at least, makes haste
unnecessary. This was the last nation
al guard unit 10 leave the border at FL
Paso, where only regular army patrons
are left. The faculty for being last has
been the fortune of this command
which was the last Michigan regiment
to leave the state. The strength OF the
organization is censored.
Considerable satisfaction was ex-
pressed by the upstate soldiers at the
interesting route taken and at the rail
road accommodations furnished. Cap
tain w. II. Smith, adjutant, stated that
the latter were the best given to any
troops, as the men had standard Pull
man sleepers and observation cars were
supplied for the officers.
AS TO how long the command will re-
main at the fort or where il will 90,
Major Wells said that he had received
no orders. In the meantime the
philosophical members are settling into
the barracks and entertaining callers
from their home towns.

WARNING AGAINST
FAKE SOLICITORS

The Officials of the Detroit Police De-
partment have sent out warming to
the people of Detroit and Michigan, as
well, to be extremely cautious in pay
ing cash subscriptions to strangers.
Soliciting frauds OF most every descrip-
ton have been reported of late which
resulted in a general notice from the
department to the public to be on guard.
Charitable schemes seem to be the
most successful and prospective con-
tributors are urged to insist on seeing
the strangers credentials authorizing
such collections and then satisfy them
selves that the authority is genuine be-
fore parting with their money.
In has been reported in several up
state cities, several men have been
soliciting funds for an Association Of
Railroad Men which has no existence
During the recent embargo periods
considerable money was collected on
the theory the subscription would be
advantageous to the shipper in getting
quick action on his delayed freight
shipments.
Detectives Mitts and Smith OF the
Detroit Police Department picked up
two men Saturday, charged with solicit
ing for Polish publication that does
not exist. Both are charged with
forgery and larceny by trick and are in
custody, pending trial, in default of
$1,000 bail. Numerous other fake
schemes have been reported to the
Detroit police from up state towns,
where the organization or individuals
to be assisted are alleged TO be located
in Detroit which prompted the Michi-
gan Manufacturers Association to issue
bulletins OF warning requesting the
public TO carefully investigate all solicit
ing schemes, especially those claiming
patriotic motives, which is a popular
appeal these days, and pays big re-
turns to the takers.

The Essentials of Gardening.

The essentials for successful garden.
ing on small or large scale are soil,
water and cultivation. Much depends
also on the grower, the season, and
the crops selected.
The soil is the storehouse of plan,
food. The garden, therefore, should
contain humus or rotted material in
large quantities. The gardener should
remember that about so per cent of
ordinary earth is not soil at all, but
consists OF air and water.
Water makes plant food that is pre-
sent freely soluble. Rain and snow
water are soft and contain ammonia.
The magic of soft water on the plant
world is one of the miracles of good
gardening, as every one who has con-
trasted the effect of rain with that pro-
duced by sprinkling with hose real

large amounts of water which they

Home Gar
den Hints
The Soil. Water. and Fertilizer
Requirements of a Successful
Home Garden.

The damage done to garden crops by
the recent widespread freeze has made
ii necessary for many owners either to
replant gardens or TO delay planting
beyond the usual time. These garden
ers whose outdoor schedules have
been upset are under the necessity of
doing everything they can to hasten
their crops. The following suggestions
regarding the principles and practice
of gardening, the horticultural special
lists of the United States Department OF
Agriculture believe, will be timely and
helpful both to these gardeners and to
others in localities where the planting
season naturally is later
The gardener who merely wishes to
raise vegetables for his own family will
do well, especially this year, to choose
the crops he will grow from those
which previously have done best in his
special locality. The market gardener
must bear this fact in mind, but also
must study the market and anticipate
its usual demand and determine as far
as he can how this demand will be
affected by any untoward weather con-
ditions which may have occurred in his
section.
Those who desire to produce early
crops should bear in mind that warm,
sandy loan will produce an earlier crop
than heavier soil that retains more
water and less heat. Frost is less apt
to injure vegetables planted on high
ground than those planted in low
places or valleys into which the heavier
cold air commonly settles. The garden
should be fairly level, but well drained.
The crop will mature more rapidly on
land that has sunny, southern ex-
posure than in other plots.
Charlevoix county herald., 1917-04-06

To avenge our wrongs costs more
than to protect our rights.
Many a man suffers painful ex-
posure, tho all wrapped up in himself.
Cupid does not take out license
when he goes hunting. The man Of

criticisms OF his enemies. Only his
friends can properly denounce him.

GENERAL CLEAN UP
WEEK FOR MICHIGAN
To the Citizens OF Michigan:

To the Citizens of Michigan
The week of April 30th has been
designated as CLEAN UP WEEK in
this State and as State Fire Marshal !
most earnestly urge the cooperation of
our citizens, property owners and
public officials with this Bureau that
a material reduction OF our enormous
fire waste may be secured A clean
city will have few fires. A burned city
does not replace itself. Every fire
makes every man struggle harder for
kiving. Our fire waste improvishes the
Estate, as family waste improvishes the
household. Rubbish heaps are fire
breeders. Fires start in them and are
fed by them. Attics, easements, sheds
and store-rooms should be cleaned of
all combustible accumulations the
week of April 30th. Ashes should be
cleaned up and removed. All wiring
and heating systems, flues, chimneys,
stove-pipes, etc, should be inspected
and placed in an absolutely safe con-
dition. In fact thorough inspection
OF all homes, business places and man
ufacturing plants should be made dur
ing this week and every effort made
and precaution taken by the citizens of
Michigan TO conserve our resources
from destruction by fire. The average
annual American fire loss for the last
ten year period was $3.50, 100000. This
is $500, 900 each day, $4,000 each hour
or s400 each minute. Compare similar
loss OF $3.50, ,OOO, 600 per year in wheat,
corn or cotton, or funds from U. 8.
treasury and we realize the necessity
OF united action. WILL YOU DO YOUR
PART2 WILL YOU ASSIST IN MAX

Universal railroad bankruptcy under
this reduction In rates and increased
cost Of operation, he said, was avoided
only by heavy expenditures to obtain
increased efficiency In train movement,
making 1t possible to haul more tons OF
freight per locomotive. This had re-
duced the average cost OF hauling

average freight rate had reduced the
net revenue of the roads from each ton
hauled. Ii the operating costs OF the
railroads, including the prices OF coal,
labor and material, continue to ad-

OF the dollar has fallen 55 per cent and
the railroads are In the position Of be-
ing compelled by law TO accept pay
ment for their service to the public In

Publie's Chief Interest.
THE public's greatest interest Is In
adequate transportation facilities and
not so much In low rates. As to most
commodities freight rates form very
small proportion OF their cost. TX
Guiding low grade commodities. the
percentage Of the freight rate to the
cost Is so slight as TO offer no Justifica-
ton for any substantial increase In
prices to the consumer. 1t may be
stated with little fear OF contradiction
that the consumer seldom, II ever,
profits from lowering Of freight rates
"Extortionate charges are a thing Of
the past, and under the attempt to cut
rates to their lowest possible figure
the interest OF the whole public In the
character and standard OF transpopta-
ton is subordinated to the interest Of
that part OF the public only that profits
by lower rates-that Is to say, the ship.
pers and their agents and not the gen.
sral public, the ultimate consumer"
