The corrosive Sublimate treatment is
preferred by most potato growers be-
cause of the fact that it gets both di-
seases. Seed potatoes should be soak
ed in solution made with ounces of
Corrosive Sublimate and 80 gallons of
water, for from 80 minutes to an hour
and half Corrosive Sublimate is a
trifle expensive, $500 worth being re-
quired TO treat about 20 to 30 bushels of
seed. 1t is also deadly poison and
must be handled in glass or wooden
vessels. Corrosive sublimate loses
strength as it is used and must be re-
plenished with poison. In spite of this
it is the favorite method with farmers,

School Commissioners
Notes
May l.. Stewart, Commissioner

County board of examiners meets
Saturday to determine issuing of Ger.
tlficates. 1t is hoped that more will
write the August test.
Georgia Scroggie completed her terms
work in North Bay and is finishing the
term OF school uncompleted by Mrs.
Lila Skornia.
Bay township had all three schools
represented in exhibit and program at
North Bay School on Monday the 18th.
Program was fine. The judges, Mrs.
StIvens, and Mrs. Fletcher gave first
place to Horton Bay, second to North
Bay, and third to Lakeside. The Hor.
ton Bay exhibit may be seen at County
Fair next fall. The students from Bay
township passing examinations in
eighth grade work will receive their
diplomas in joint commencement exer.
cises with Hayes township.
With the first round of visits nearly
completed, the commissioner may pause
to review the good things which have
been so manifest Is it the fever heat
OF the war or the new spirit of recon-
struction, or is it merely the worth.
whileness of the work all revealed anew
that has shown the work this spring
the best yet seen in the county-more
teachers who are truly teaching, more
pupils who really want to pass and who
do not expect teacher to also do the
"learning"-a clearer objective, and
fine sense OF cooperation. These are
the things that have stood out in Char
levoX county and cause us to feel that
there is no finer corps of rural teachers
in the state of Michigan.
State reports indicated that the EN-
met County Normal was doing things.
That's what we want to do too, so ac-
companied by both our county normal
teachers, the commissioner went to
Petoskey on the oath and spent the day
in the Emmett County Normal. Many
good suggestions were made by the
Emmett County Principal and the trip
proved very much worth while.

TWO PRIESTS AND
ALPENA DRUGGIST
DROWN MONDAY

Whole Northern Michigan was shock
ed Tuesday by the tragic triple drown
ing OF Father Albert DeQuoy, of St
Francis church, Alverno, and his two
brothers, Father Charles II. DeQuoy
OF st. AIMS French church. and Alfred
DeQuoy, a druggist, both of Alpena.
The catastrophe which has saddened
the hearts of thousands occurred at 7:SO
Monday evening at the Black river dam
in Cheboygan county.
Rev. Father Albert DeQuoy had en-
tertained at dinner his two brothers
who were drowned with him, and also
brother, Rev. George DeQuoy, of Bay
City, and Rev. Father Mangan, of Che
boygan. The party was fishing near
the dam when the boat was accidently
upset. The swift undertow overcame
their efforts, excepting Father Mangan,
who after going down twice grasped a
deadhead and was finally pulled ashore.
The body of the Alpena priest, Father
Charles H. DeQuoy, was recovered at
$50 Tuesday morning, and that of Rev.
Albert DeQuoy one-half hour after the
accident. The other body was not re-
covered by noon Tuesday
The DeQuoy family were well and
widely known all over Northern Michi-
gan, and were prominently identified
with the work of the Catholic church.
They had a large acquaintance in EN-
met county.
The three brothers are survived by
mother seventy-three years of age,
four brothers and sister, who make
their home in Alpena.
Father George DeQuoy was a mem
Der OF the party but was not in the boat
at the time of the accident.
The place of the drowning is about
seven miles east and south of Cheboy-
gan where the Cheboygan Light and
Power company have erected and oper-
ated large dam across the Black river.
1t is one of the largest power dams in
this part of the state.

POOR SEED BEING

Public Warned Against Certain

Nearby States.

East Lansing, Mich, May 5.-A warn
ing that seed of very low grade is be-
ing shipped into Michigan by three or
four mailorder dealers in nearby states
is being sent out by the State Seed
Laboratory at East Lansing. Complaints
from all parts of the State indicate the
sale OF large amount of this impure
seed, much of which is in violation of
the Michigan Seed Law Clover and
timothy seeds are those with which
most OF the trouble is being experiene.
ed.
More than thirty kinds of weed feeds
on an average, have been found in
samples tested by Miss Bertha Hollister
State Seed Analyst. Noxious weeds,
such as dodder and Canada thistle have
been found freely in the samples, max
ing the situation especially serious.
While the Michigan Seed Law can
handle violations of the law which occur
in the State, il has no power to take &C.
tion against firms doing business out
side the State.
The remedy for the present situation
is for the farmer and the small dealers
OF the State to trade with Michigan
dealers or with responsible firms out
Yide the state. In every case where
Ned Is purchased for sowing, the buy
et should demand an analysis at the
tihe of purchase sr should send a sam
pie to the State Seed Laboratory, East

defSmine the weed content.

evidence that the BdIck Motor Com

the buyer of Buick automobile is at
all times protected against unwar-

in a reasonable time. We shall con-

to see that no favoritism is shown our

out so admirably in the past.
Buick enthusiasts appreciate the
importance of this announcement, be-
cause all uncertainty has now been
removed, both as to the possibility of
getting Buick cars this year and the
possibility fthe prices being raised
or lowered"

is wanted" in the United States, tries
to drill a motley Centraf American army
which is mounted on mules, burros and

in Beware Of BoArderS'
A Paramount Mack Sennett Comedy
LYRIC SATURDAY NIGHT.

Monday Jaky Granger brought to town
from his ranch in the valley a sample of
alfalfa that had made growth of 20
inches already this spring. The first crop
of alfalfa will be ready to cut by the first
of June and judging from the looks of the
fields the yield is going to be very heavy
this season. Alfalfa has become one of
the staple crops of the irrigated district,
and in the course of few years the land
under the West Okanogan Valley 1rriga-
ton system will be prepared to supply
most of this forage used in eastern
Washington.

brace of stews, was on exhibition We'd

beautifully tanked up rs to be a homeless

shocking exhibition tina, they made of
themselves.
A large acreage of new land Is being
broken out and seeded under the irriga-
ton system this season. 1t Is calculated
by those familiar with conditions in the
valley that fully so per cent of the irri-
gable land under the ditchs will be pro-
ducing this year.

they enjoyed the visit of the Trophy Train

We're a great many people here from a
