FARM SALE PRICE RAISED
East Lansing, Oct. 23.-That the
sale price of farms is usually raised
enough by landscape gardening around
the house to pay for the cost many
times over is the opinion expressed by
/. T. Pickford, Extension Specialist
in Horticulture at M. A. C.
In response to inquiries from vari-
Gus parts of the State in regard to
effective landscape work for the farm
home, Mr.. Pickford is planning dem
onstration work for several counties.
The planting of public highways will
be taken up at the same time, with
the idea of identifying Michigan
roads. Nurseries of the State are
cooperating in the work by agreeing
to furnish trees and shrubs.

PROTECTION PROGRAM UNDER
WAY

The Republican House already has
passed five bills for the better protec-
ton of certain American industries.
They cover coal tar products, tung-
stem ore and its manufacturers, zinc
ore and manufactures, shell and pearl
buttons, and laboratory glassware,
scientific and surgical instruments.
The only reason those measures have
not been taken up by the Senate and
enacted into law is the fact that the
treaty with Germany is occupying
the time of that body. Senator PEN
rose, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, to which they have been re-
ferred, has stated that he will not per-
NIT interference with the treaty by
seeking consideration of the bills. AS
soon, however, as that momentous
document is disposed of we may ex-
pcct to see all Of those protective tar
If measures reported from the COM
mittee and made law.

NO JOB OF OURS

President Wilson says that we are
under moral obligations to accept the
treaty because at was laid down ac-
cording. to American specifications. )"
1t was not laid down according to
American specifications. Thirty-nine
members of the United States Senate
gave due notice that they would not
stand for the league covenant. The
negative votes of 33 Senators will de-
feat treaty. In order to guard this
country against mistakes in diplomacy
the trainers of the Constitution pro-
vided that two-thirds vote must be
had in order to ratify treaty. It
was the judgment of the trainers of
the Constitution, and it is the judy
ment of the country today that if any
treaty has the opposition of more than
q third of the Senator'S, wisdom and
due caution require that it be nos
adopted. More than that one-third
gave all the nations of the earth no
tice on the Fourth of last March that
they disapproved of the league cove
nant in it's present form. The treaty,
therefore, was not drawn according to
American specifications. 1t was drawn
according to British-W ilsonian speci-
fcations, and will be rejected a. un.

JOHNSON SOUNDS
IMMIGRATION WARNING

Chairman Albert johnson of the
immigration Committee of the House
is active in warning his colleagues
and the country against the dangers
of foreign immigration the moment
the peace treaty is ratified. He has
been informed through official diplo-
matte dispatches that approximately
100000 Germans and thousands of
Austrians are waiting for an oppor-
tunity to leave their native countries.
Most of them intend to come to the
United States, while others have Ar
gentina, Chile, and Peru as their OBJ
jective. Some of the South American
countries already have enacted laws
to prevent an influx of undesirable
immigrants, and Mrs. johnson is urg-
ing that Congress do likewise without
loss of time.

The u. 8. Department of Commerce
reports that in Belgium expert ma
chinists are receiving little less than
$12 week, or less than two dollars
per day, and work 8 hours a day.
Carpenters get % cents per hour, 8
hours day. Laboring men who help

study those figures and get ready for
the competition they must meet when
Belgian factories get going again.
The world owes no man living; it
owes every man chance to earn a iy-

ions to deny the right.

DAYLIGHT PLAN
TO BE OFFICIAL
Many Rock Islanders Oppose 1t
Relieving Ii To Be Only Rail-
Road Regulation.

: Advancing the time an hour at
2 O'Clock next Sunday morning is
a law-not regulation.
Some Rock Islanders, particu-
larly those who are opposed to the
daylight saving plan, have an
nounced their intention to follow
the old system and regulate their
time according to the present
schedule They are under the i'm
preston that congressional action
was required to make the daylight
saving plan effective this summer
But such is not the case.
: The law is still in force on the
summer schedule plan. it having
been passed during the winter of
last year with no limit set as to
when it would become void. In
order to make the daylight saving
plan ineffective, congress would
have to repeal the act. The law
states:
THAT at 2 o'clock ante-meridian
of the last Sunday in March of
each year the standard time of
each zone shall be advanced one
hour, and at O'Clock nte-merid-
ian of the last Sunday in October
each year the standard time of
each zone shall, by retarding one,
be returned to the astronomical
time of the degree of longitude
governing each zone, respectively.
More Than Regulation.
Many of those who are opposed
to the plan believed that they
would be justified in refusing to
make the change in their time be-
cause the announcement of the
new schedule came from the rail-
road administration. This an
nouncement was made merely to
call attention of the railroads that
the time was to be changed. The
ruling has more than a railroad
regulation back of it. The day
light saving schedule will be the
official time in the United States.
because it is a congressional act
and will be effective until a con-
gress repeats it.

The Lutheran Laymen's league

men of the Missouri synod. has
launched a drive for a $4,000, OOO
endowment fund among the commu-
meant members OF its synod, the
income of which will be used to
the support of the synod's incapac-

and the widows and orphans of the
deceased.
The members of said synod have
enthusiastically subscribed for a
large number of Liberty bonds.
Almost every congregation knows
the approximate amount of Liberty
bonds purchased by its members. A
resolution was adopted that all con-
gregations be asked to raise a sum
which would equal at least 10 per
cent of the Liberty bonds purchas-
ed by its own members and donate
the same to the endowment fund.
The amount is expected to be
raised by an intensive campaign or
drive of two weeks, from March 30
to April ~. inclusive, preceded by
