PATRIOTIC SECRET SERVICE

"The patriotic travelling statesmen
of Michigan constitute the secret SER
vice of the. Food Administration, said
George A. Prescott, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Michigan, today. 81
have just had letter from man who
travels out of Kalamazoo telling of
serious abuse of the sugar regula-
tions. AS result any hotel that en-
courages sugar consumption may find
itself without a sugar supply, unless
the practice is stopped. The report
that came to me from salesman, was
of the waste due to carelessness or
downright treason. This Office appre-
ciates the valuable service that has
been rendered by the patriotic travel
ing men. 1t has been source of no
little encouragement, and the means
of detecting many violations of the
regulations that might otherwise have
gone undetected."

INCOME TAX SPEEDS
UP. MICH. FARMERS

East Lansing, June 26.-The levy
ing by the federal government of an
income tax on farmers whose rev.
enues exceed the exempted minimum
has brought about a more careful
keeping of farm accounts by agricul-
turists in many parts of the state,
M. A. C. field men are reporting.
More general adoption of this practice
is being urged by the college.
Farm records serve as guide to
better management" declared G. II.
Graves, farm management demon
strator, "and in addition furnish a
very convenient way to make out the
income tax report. Also they simplify
the work of making up financial state
ments in order to secure loans, in
making out schedules of costs to pres
ent to commissions, and in figuring
up costs of production in order to
meet buyers intelligently-and in fact
enable the farmer to meet the busi-
ness world on it's own platform"
The college is assisting farmers in
accounting systems adap-
ted to their particular tyles of busi-
ness. Interested individuals, the col
lege advises, can secure information
on this point by writing to the Office
of Farm Management, M. A. c.

FOR A PATRIOTIC FOURTH

You cannot be 100 per cent patriotic
July 4th if you dispense with fire
works alone! That is not enough.
You must also
Refrain from an eXtravagant pic
mic dinner, which will serve to waste
food or permit of its unnecessary con-
sumption.
Refrain from indulgence in candy,
iced tea or lemonade, which requires
excessive quantities of sugar.
So declares George A. Prescott, Fed
eral Food Administrator for Michigan.
Mr.. Prescott says the wheat and
beef and sugar situations are entirely
too serious and have too much bearing
on the prospects of victory or defeat
in France to allow anyone honestly
patriotic to ignore the strict regula-
tions, and especially on day dedicat-
ed wholly to patriotic devotion, as July
4th.

CHAUTAUQUA GRAND SUCCESS.

The third year Of the Owosso Chau
tauqua is proving the best in its history
both in the attendance and in the pro.
grams, the lectures being wonderfully
instructive, interesting and inspiring,
and the musical numbers high class In
every respect. The superintendent, w.
G. Lavelle and his crew, are doing
every thing for the comfort of the audi
ences, and everything has been on time.
Speakers for the war savings stamp
drive have brought new thoughts to
the audiences of their duties in this
matter by short. pointed addresses.
The first lecture Monday evening was
a revelation and an inspiration of what
the country could and will do when
efficiency is brought to the farm life
and methods in this country, and the
waste of land and useless use of crops
prevented. DR.. Henry Adrian's plea
for the right training of the next gen.
GRAFTON away from life Of hatred and
respect of the real heroes, like DIR.
Pasteur, DIR. Murtin. and men who
gave their lives to solve the problems
of health and destruction of causes OF
great losses and prevention of diseases,
produced a profound impression. Mr..
b. r. Fords demonstration Of the won
derful uses to which electricity Is being
and may he put in future years was
almost unbelievable. His appearance
here in place of Private Peat was q
most fortunate disappointment
Col. Geo. w. Balm, the eloquent Ken
tucky orator, veteran of the American
lecture platform, was most heartily re.
ceived Wednesday and eye.y person
young or old was impressed with life's
duties and shown how better to enjoy
life by his eloquent appeals and humor-
ous exemplification.
DR. Frank Bohn's message to America
and the wonderful possibilities and re.
sponsibilities which will develop at the
close of the war, was revelation to the
audience.
Financially the Chautauqua is big
success, over $l700 being in the hands
of the treasurer, 1.500 being the
amount of the guarantee and of the
amount over that the Owosso associa-
tion will receive sufficient to pay all
bills and leave something in the treasu.
ury.

Department of Agriculture has given
special attention to the problem of
removing stumps. 1t has had funds
available for that purpose for years
In view of all the money that has been
appropriated in the past for the gath
ering of data such as that the Secre-
tary Of the Interior now desires, if
! the information is not available, it
would seem that there has been q lot
of public money wasted and somebody
should be called to account.
Tabulated details of income tax re-
turns show that the farmer has been
getting the short end of whatever
prosperity the country has enjoyed
since direct taxes became the vogue.
Less than one-quarter of one per cent
OF those who pay income taxes are to
be found among the farmers. While
politicians have been paying large
attention to other groups of those
who labor with their hands, surrend-
ering too often to arragant demands
and almost never attempting to with
stand any of their demands, the farm
er has been getting it in the neck.

in favor of Southern cotton. How
long will he stand it? The American
farmer is patient and long suffering
man, as his whole history shows. But
there must be limit to his endur-
ance.
We are sending millions of our
young men, the hope of our Nation,
abroad to fight for democracy. Mean
while evidences are plentiful of a
transmutation of our Government.
with decided trend toward socialism.
Is it fair to these young men who are
about to shed their blood that democ-
racy may live, that we repudiate that
democracy in their absence? Are
they to return to a form of govern
ment for which they did not offer the
supreme sacrifice, which they fail to
recognize, and which they could not
approve? If they are, then it may be
that the peace which they helped to
force on autocracy in Europe may
have to be supplemented by a peace
similarly imposed here.
