I'VE believe that at this time when
the expenses of the national govern
ment are necessarily very great and
prices are Unfortunately high on &C
count of the war and every good citi
zen is consequently burdened with un
usually high expenses, the business
of the state should be conducted as
economically as is consistent with
good administration. We recognize
the fact that in the nature OF things
the amount Of taxes raised in the state
must be to some extent increased, but
we pledge to the people Of this state
a business administration, economical
as well. as efficient, and we call upon
the legislature to be elected in No

ing no unusual appropriations under
present conditions."-From the Repub

Germans the troopers have ably CO
operated with the American Protec
tive League.
At various points throughout the
state small detachments are guarding

Must Be Able Men.
In picking out 200 men for the state
police more than 600 candidates were
put through rigorous examinations al
the training station In East Lansing
by Col. Roy c. Vandercook and other
former national guard officers. Later
they were carefully trained and disci
plined. Many of the present command
are men who have seen service in the
Canadian Mounted Police. Some are
veterans of the regular army while
others have been In the national
guard or members of police forces.
Not only are the men drilled IN
military maneuvers, but they are
schooled in civil procedure as well
and must acquire practically as much
knowledge of the law as the average
prosecuting officer. They know their
own rights and also must know when
others are within the law. They are
taught surgical dressing and must
learn how to administer first aid ap
planes. Above all they must possess
an abundance OF common sense and
good nature.
"Pay no attention to insulting re.
marks and never pick quarrel" are
among the first instructions given q
recruit. Never make a threat you 10
not intend to carry out. A buffer Is
no good in this organization. We want
men who mean busipess. Never draw

Nor are they unpatriotic when they
wonder why" at the price they are
now obliged to pay for cotton goods.
When the winds of trade began to
watt upwards the filmy cotton from
7 cents a pound; it bounded up to 33
cents a pound-almost five for one.
Print cloth rose from cents in 1914

And now to make a bad matter

the price of cotton at about ~ cents
