LACK OF COAL FORCED STEF
Most Cities Accept Order Wlthou'
Protest Because They Have
No Fuel to Burn.

Lansing-W. X. Prudden is not onl,
standing firmly behind his nine-hou
coal conservation edict but he expect
to have to issue even more drasti,
regulations soon. He insists that tn,
situation demands heroic measures
Coal shipments are not expected Il

The only defiance to Mr.. Prudden',
order came from Detroit. State elite.

numerous kilograms of protest from
Detroit.

Prudden, and as soon as Detroit's sup

Mr.. Prudden made one answer to the
many Detroit delegations which ap.

them to go hack to Detroit and en-.
force the spirit as well as the letter
Of the law.
He asked that they try the order
out for few days before condemning
It and offered any reasonable modifica-

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France was
less than half normal. using the crop
Of 1913 a. q basis Of comparison.
There was q shortage Of 10000 900
bushels. or $50 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third Of nor
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed 4
deficit Of o7.e per cent. Her meat
herds in the early fall showed short
age Of ], 800. 900 animals.
Those are q few Of the reasons
America must feed her associates in
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves. and unless we come
to the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means Do
feat In the war.

An epidemic Of chickenpox prevails
in Owosso, mostly in the Washington
school district. All children having il
must not attend school, but be kept
strictly at home and reported to the
health officer by phone, mail or in per-

Whooping cough is also quite pre-
valent and is dangerous to infants.
This disease must also be reported

condition. The main purpose Of these
clubs is, of course, to interest boys and
girls in the broader possibilities of agri-
culture, but there are other purposes,
such as the educational value which
comes through doing systematic piece
of work. There is also the purpose of
improving the agricultural industry of
the various communities of the state.
There are several kinds of clubs, such
