pointed. and to make their subscrip.
tions there for Liberty Bonds.
heartily approve of this plan and
urge the people of the state to respond
freely. The glorious news we are re.
ceiving day by day from our boys on
the battle fronts reveals the fact that
when volunteers are asked for some
desperate service, our soldiers are
eager to respond. Shall not our people
at home. whose battles these soldiers
are fighting, with equal heartiness re-
spond TO this call for volunteers? I
am sure they will II the call can only
be properly brought to their attention.
To this end It has been requested that
the ministers in all our churches on
next Sunday appeal to their people to
give their hearty support to this vol.
unteer campaign by going generally to

famous brewer, Adolphus Busch, and
who is herself the "Anheuser" Of the
widely known "Anheuser.Busch," is
really the richest widow in the world,
with more than $6O,O00.000 In money
and properties. yet her return to the
United States has revealed her rs lit

Technically, Mrs. Busch Is citi-
zen Of the United States. But part Of
her vast estate, though, is In Germany.
She owns castles, villas. stocks and
bonds and even part Of n great ammu-
milton plant in Prussia. SO, when the
United States declared war upon Ger

WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED
BY UNITED STATES SCHOOL
GARDEN ARMY IN SIX
MONTHS.

1. One million five hundred thou.
sand boys and girls have responded to
the call of the President and enlisted
in the United States School Garden
Army.
2. Twenty thousand acres of unpro.
ductive home and vacant lots have
been converted into productive land.
This will release an equal acreage now
used in truck gardening for the pro-
duction OF other foodstuffs more i'm.
portant for war purposes. II will
also relieve transportation congestion
through home consumption of home
produced foodstuffs.
3. Fifty thousand teachers have re.
ceived valuable instruction in garden
ing through the garden leaflets writ
ten by experts in this office and dis.
tributed from here.
4. Boards OF Education and other
civic organizations have been influ.
enced to give financial and moral sup
port to the school and home garden
movement and to pay extra salaries
for supervision and teaching.
5, Hundreds Of thousands OF parents
have become interested in the gar
den movement and are working with
their children in home gardens. In

representing So parental associations,
are actively supporting food produc-
ton In the schools.
6. Thousands OF civic, commercial

develop their patriotism.
s. Home and vacant lot gardening
In cities, towns and villages have been
dignifed and made popular to a de.
gree that practically insures them a
prominent place in the school system
of our country. II would be difficult
TO estimate the educational and mate.

The privilege OF conversion which
arose in consequence Of the issue of
"A per cent bonds OF the Third Lib.
erty Loan win expire on November Q
and, under existing law cannot be eX.
tended or renewed. Holders of these
( per cent bonds lose nothing by eX-
ercising the privilege of conversion
and gain u per cent interest per
annum. Holders Of 4 per cent bonds
should not wait until the last mo-
ment 10 exercise the privilege Of con.
version, but proceed to do so prompt.
~. Delay will result in overburden'
ing the banking institutions OF the
country and the Treasury Depart
ment by making ii necessary 10 han
die all conversions at the last mo-
ment, and may result in the loss Of
the privilege OF conversion alto
gether.
Holders Of coupon bonds are
strongly advised to request issue OF
registered bonds TO protect them
selves against the risk OF loss, theft
and destruction OF their bonds.
Official Department Circular No.
ia, with forms of application, has

MICHIGAN TAX CROOKS
More Suits Filed in Van Buren,
County, Michigan, to Remove
Clouds on Titles Than in Any
Other County in the United
States.
Land Sharks and Others SO Bold In
a., Their Juggling Of Books and De.
scriptions That Uncle Sam
May Get Them.

There are more suits filed I'm the
courts of Van Buren, County, Michi.
gan, to remove clouds from land titles
than there are filed for that purpose
in any other county in the United
States, including those containing the
largest cities in the country.
There have been more professional
land thieves at work in Van Buren,
County than in any other county in
the United States, and they are still
| at work.
Men connected with certain lines
of business and using officials elected
in some townships as their tools are
engaged all Of the time in clouding
the titles of honest and bona fide land
owners.
This fact has done more to keep the
county back than any other thing.
The bad name given to this part Of
the State of Michigan by the land
crooks is becoming by.word through.
out the nation.
Many of these crooks claim land
on the strength Of tax titles-ob-
tanned after the rightful owners had
paid the taxes-through juggling OF
descriptions and tax books.
Efforts are to be made to reach
some Of them through Federal action,
as the peculiar kold they have on local
authorities precludes hope Of reform
In that direction.
Victims OF these bands of crooks
are advised that IL they live outside
| OF Michigan they can bring suit
! against officials, hackers, brokers or
| others who damage them or their in.
terests In the U. s. courts.
The citizens of Van Buren, County
| should wake up to the situation and
retire these grafters to the peniten.
tiary or to some other place where
their public records cannot injure the
community.
Van Buren, County Is naturally rich
in soil, delightful in climate and geo.
graphically ideal for success In every
line.
Its prospects have been blighted.
The testimony of all outside people
who have invested there is that they
have been skinned and bothered by
the land shark syndicate.
fremont G. Olson, head of the we'll
known and reliable Olson Multigraph
Co., at 10 South La Sale street, has
won good name in this community
by the fine work his concern turns
out. In quick and expert serviceit is
