Sweetening the Year.

There are some people whose very
nearness brings pleasure. They may
not be particularly witty nor very
wise. They may never dazzle you with
their brilliancy along any line. But
just as the summer breezes sometimes
bring you Whit of hidden rose gar
dens and mignonette beds, so you can
not come near certain people without
detecting the sweetness of their ma
lures, their unselfishness, their cheeri-
ness, their untiring kindness. Roses
fall and their sweetness passes, but
the blossoming gardens of the heart
diffuse their fragrance through every
day of the year.-Girl's Companion.

WEST MICHIGAN GETS RATE CUT
Federal Commission Allows Reduction
on Freight to East.

Lansing-What are called the Mich.
igan percentage cases have been de
cided by the interstate commerce com.
mission at Washington in favor of
Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Battle
Creek, Marshall, Lansing, Cadillac
Petoskey and other cities in the lower
peninsula which alleged that the
freight rates between these points and
points. in the east are unreasonable
and are unjustly discriminatory as
compared with rates allowed to com
peting points in Ohio and Indiana and
also to Detroit.
The cases are called percentage
cases because they are based on the
claim that the Michigan cities in the
complaint did not get a fair percent.
age of the New York Chicago rate in
comparison with Ohio and Indiana
points. The commissions decision
does not recognize the percentage sys-
TEN as the ruling criterion in this ter.
ritory and does not award such heavy
reductions as the complainants asked
but does allow a reduction of from 2
to per cent.
The following reductions were
made: Points in the present 81 per
cent group to 50 per cent. Jackson,
Saginaw. Bay City and other points in
the 90 per cent group to SO per cent,
lansing and other points in the 95 per

RAIL COMMISSIONERS SUGGESTS

Each Community Could Make Estimate
Of This Years Need and Forestall
Shortage Now Experienced.

Lanstag.-A state coal survey is
now being considered.
The plan which originates with Rail-
road Commissioner A. Keiser of Lud-
ington, almost came into being late
last spring, but it was finally decided
that it was too late then to start it.
Mr.. Keiser wants each town and vii
lage to give an estimate of just how
much coal is needed for next winter.
Then the fuel can be brought into the
state and so placed to avoid a recur-
renee of the present nearfamine.
1.-THE conditions now existing" says
Mr.. Keiser, Twill show the head of
each municipality about how much
coal his community can get along
with. If he makes report before the
shipments start as to his needs and
then the state officials make it their
business to help him in a transporta-
ton way, / think the winter of 1915
1919 can be made much different for
Michigan. l would exempt the larger
cities from the survey because they
can, in most cases, take care of them
selves through their larger number Of
dealers.
Reports show larger shipments of
soft coal moving into Michigan. Much
of the government coal, diverted from
congested yards to Michigan points.
has been received.
Barring the high price which cannot
be controlled by the administration, it
seems to be improving matters.
In some few instances the coal has
been refused because of the price The

possible rate for the reason that no.

At the funeral of General Fraser,
second in command under Burgoyne,
which took place shortly before the
surrender at Saratoga the Americans,
observes a historian, perceiving Il large
concourse of men, opened fire upon
them from their batteries, but, to
quote the words of +. Il. De Fon-

coming aware of the nature of the GER

and fired minute guns in honor Of the
dead soldier" The commander of the

days.
