FARM SALE PRICE
RAISED BY
LANDSCAPE GARDENING


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 ex-
pressed by |. T. Pickford, Extension
Specialist in horticulture OF M. A. C..
In response to inquiries from various
parts of the State in regard to effective
landscape work for the farm home,
Mr.. Pickford is planning demonstration
work for several counties. The plant
ing of public highways will be taken up
at the same time, with the idea of
beautifying Michigan roads. Nurseries
of the state are cooperating in the work
by agreeingto furnish trees and shrubs.

East Jordan Man
On Grand Jury
Will Investigate Newberry EIec.
ton Fraud Case.

Robert Sherman, of East Jordan, has
been elected foreman of the grand jury
in the United State court in the west
ern district of Michigan, at Grand Rap
ids, which will investigate into the
manner in which United States Senator
Truman H. Newberry used funds in his
nomination and election campaign in
Michigan.
In giving instructions to the members
OF the jury, Judge Clarence w. Sessions
in the District court cautioned the mem:
bers about divulging any information
whatever concerning those things
which take place during the delibera-
tionse of the jury.
81 have no doubt each one of YOU
will be besieged with questions for in
formation OF the things which trans
pire in the jury room," said the court.
"Some of these requests-the majority
OF them-undoubtedly will be innocetly
made, while others may not be of such
a nature. 1t is the duty of each Juror
/
to divulge to no one, not even to mem
bers OF his own family, those things
which transpire in the jury ROOM"
This session Of the grand jury is one
OF the most important in the history of
the state" said the court in opening.
Matters OF great importance to the
people OF the state, the government,
and to tell all of us are to be presented
for your consideration and determination
so far as to say whether prosecutions
are to be instituted"
The court told members of the jury
the session may be an extended one.
Hundreds of witness are being sum-
moned to appear and indications were
that the investigation would require
from three to a month to complete.
Every angle of the primary and election
will be gone into.

CHECK SHOWS THAT
FARMERS OWN CARS

The most Michigan farmers, in GER
tain sections of the State at least, own
their own automobiles is shown by the
report of farm census in Washtenaw
County, which was issued recently by
the extension division of the Michigan
Agricultural College. Automobiles are
owned on 1897 of the 1853 farms covered
in ihe county canvas, or py practically
three-fourths of the farmers.
These figures come as distinct shock
to, those who have imagined that the
c3feS own a corner on the automobile
game, for it seems that their rural
neighbors do a full share of riding these
days.
On these 1853 farms, 81 trucks and 81
tractors are owned. Most of the farm.
~ers are shown to own their own land,
although there are 256 share croppers,
79 cash renters, and 30 paid managers
on the farms on the list. Silos are found
on 1904 of the farms.
While Washtenaw is listed as one oil
the wealthier counties OF the State, and
il is certain that census in most of the
other localities would not show so grea
percentage OF automobiles and farm
improvements, the extension men o
the college point out that the farmer /.
coming to be fledged business man
and that in most cases he has the ace
essories that go with business life.

Observance Days in Michigan
Schools.


We now have six OBSERVANCE
DAYS in each school year. BY this we
mean that besides the real holidays
when school will close and boys and
girls will celebrate in true childish free
dom, besides these there are six DAYS
when the tercher must by law have
appropriate exercises to educate the
school children concerning the history
of our country.
On Sept. II. Constitution Day, the
Constitution must be studied in every
school OF the state. 1t seems best that
this be done by explanations of how we
govern ourselves and what we mean by
government of the people.
On October 18th. Columbus Day. The
Declaration of independence must be
read to the schools.
On October 9th. Roosevelt's birth
day. Appropriate exercises must be
given to create patriotism such as will
best serve as memorial to Roosevelt.
On November IL. Armistice Day. Lib
erty Day exercise should be given to
explain democracy and celebrate the
world war victory.
Feb. 18th is Lincoln Day and should
be appropriately observed.
Feb. 22nd is Washington's Birthday
and is always big day in the schools.
In addition to the above named OBJ
servance days, October 2O-27 is Better
Speech week, and the second week in
March is tuberculosis week. For both
OF these weeks, and others appointed
from time to time, the state furnishes
material for special study. Those may
be prepared as morning exercise mat
erial and preparation made for Friday

fashioned literary fashion the children
have a program either for themselves
alone, or for themselves and friends.

day program has motive, very utilit.

Day, several of the poets birthdays,

just growed.
The New Year and Christmas season
come at vacation periods, or vice versa,
but they occupy big place in our lives,
and naturally bring vast amount ol

that Curly will have to leave the city soon for business reasons and will not be able to train. Matchmaker Frank Loughery is securing the state for a heavyweight for Collins, but it appears that, with one exception, there is no heavyweight, either in the Warren district or the rest of the state, who is anxious to meet the local boy. The exception is Kid Reed, wellknown heavy, whom Manager French located yesterday at Miami. and who may want to take some of Collins medicine.
 The bout between Al Mauch and Kid Johnson of Arkansas is also called off. This fight was stopped by William Truax, Jr., Mauchs man. ager, who believes that Mauch is ready for main events and that he should be a headliner in Bisbee.
 But even with the calling off of these two fights, such a card will be arranged as give Bisbee fans the best program they have ever seen since the Bisbee Athletic club has been of sirst-class caliber.
