SHARP TOOLS WILL EARN
BIG INTEREST ON FARM

East Lansing, Mich, July Sth.-Labor
spent by the farmer in sharpening his
tools and implements earns thousand
per cent interest, declares Prof. II. H.
Musselman Of the Michigan Agricultur-
al College. The average farmer is in
clined to 90 along with dull edges,
little realizing the tremendous amount
of extra labor he Is making himself.
Mower knives have to be kept sharp
or they wont cut, and are usually taken
care OF on that account. Other imple-
ments that should have more attention
than they get, however, are hoes,
scythes, corn knives, plows and culti-
vators. Plows and cultivators are
especially apt to be neglected because
the horse, who does the work with
these implements, cam very well regis
ter kick against dull edges. Tests
have proved that sharp cultivators pull
lot easier than dull ones.
"An emery grinder furnishes an ef-
ficient, quick means Of keeping an edge
on farm TOOLS" says Professor Mussel-
man, land every Michigan farm should
be provided with one." ..

NEW POTATO DISEASE
APPEARS IN COUNTRY

East Lansing, Mich, July Sth.-"Po-
tato Wart," disease believed to have
been imported to this country from
Europe, has recently been reported by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
as having put in an appearance in Pen
nyslvania. Fearing possible spread
Of the disease to other parts of the
country, the government men are ad-
vising farmers to be on the lookout for
its appearance and to report any sus-
picious cases found.
'In the Potato Wart disease the
tuber is replaced by 'cauliflower-like
growth, says g. H. Coons, plant path
ologist at the Michigan Agricultural
College. This growth quickly rots
away. Anything of this nature should
be sent in to the College for indentifi-
cation"

FIGHT THE HOPPER

Grasshoppers are beginning to do
very serious damage to crops and
pasture lands thruout the eastern half
Of our country and on the Beaver
Islands. Farmers are face to face with
the prospect OF most serious losses.
Something must be done.
Many means have been devised to
combat the pests, but the one method
generally used now in sections where
they have had years of experience, is
the poison bait method, which is as fol-
lows: Mix one bushel of screened saw
dust and one pound OF poison dry. In
to one gallon of water put three-fourths
of pound of salt and a half cup OF
molasses. Stir well and thoroughly
mix with the sawdust and poison. Add
water until you have good stiff mash.
Scatter this where the grasshoppers
are feeding as you would sow grain.
For poison use good strong Paris Green
or White Arsenic, Arsenic Of Lead
will not give satisfactory results.
Grasshoppers will not eat the bait
when it becomes dry, therefore il
should not be applied during the heat
Of the day, but rather apply it the last
thing in the evening, so the bait will
be ready and attractive to the hungry
hopper as he comes from his roost in
the morning. Half rotted sawdust gives
better results than newly sawed.
II must be remembered that one ap-
plication will not rid piece OF ground
of the millions Of grasshoppers it may
contain. Its use must be persistent and
consistent.

BEVERIDGE ON
BOUNDARIES

Ex-senator Albert j. Beveridge, of
Indiana in his recent address before
the Pennsylvania Bar Association at
Bedford, Pa, placed before the country
in logical order the questions arising
from the "gravest question except one
ever raised in the history of the Re-
public" the peace treaty. In speaking
on the much discussed Section 10 Of the
league covenant, which forms the
major part of the treaty, Mr.. Beveridge
said:
"Section 10 of the covenant would
bind US to 90 to war to defend from
external aggression new territorial
boundries fixed up by the big four, as
well as old boundaries recognized by
that body, and to support the political
independence of the powers govern
ing those territories. If this is not the
true purport of that section, what is the
real meaning Of it? But our Constitu.
ton gives Congress the exclusive
power to declare war.
"As member of the superstate,
which would govern us, section 10 oi
the covenant or the war power of oui
Constitution? Both can not stand; they
are absolutely irreconcilable. By the
covenant we would be pledged to make
war whether We wish to do SO or not
II Congress should refuse, would we
not break our treaty? And would moi
this invite retaliation? Would it not,
as the very least and certain result
bring upon US the hatred Of the nation
we refuse to support and the distrust
of all other nations?
"And what are the boundaries OF the
foreign States which the league coven
ant would bind us to defend with
American blood and treasure? Does
any human being now in America knows
Is not this all that anybody in Americs
does know, that these boundaries in
close new and old dominions in every
quarter of the globe?"

COUNTY EMPLOYS
A MOTOR COP
WillMake EfOrtto Stop Speed
ing on Country Roads.

Drivers Of ,autos afflicted with the
speed mania are due for a severe jolt
just now, and trip to some justice OF
the peace where they will be asked (?)
to make deposit of from $500 up for
their fun.
Charlevoix county's speed cop is ON
the job. He rides a motorcycle and
can run circles around about the fastest
car we have in this section. He has
been instructed to pick up every car
driven over speed of rs miles an hour
on country roads, and from the looks
OF the chap, he won't hesitate to tackle
anything or anyone, should they violate
the rules Of the road.
He does not intend to confine his
activities alone to the speeders, but is
also after the fellow who fails to dim
his lights when approaching another
car or horse drawn vehicle. Violations
OF this kind are more frequent than
speeding, and it stands the driver of
a car to pay special attention to his
lights.
Many OF our citizens have been max
ing trips to ths justices office for
speeding of late, and We are of the
opinion that from now on, these visits
will be more frequent unless few in
dividual drivers who think ii funny to
blind the other fellow with his lights
is not more careful than he has been of
late.-Charlevoix Courier.

Two Killed In
Auto Accident
P. NJ. Train Strikes Auto at
Central Lake.
From Mondays Petoskey News)

(From Mondays Petoskey News)
Driving their car with considerable
speed, either with the purpose OF beat
ing the onrushing passenger train
across the crossing south of the Central
Lake railroad station, or because they
could not check its speed after coming
down the grade, at an early hour Sun
day forenoon has cost the lives of Ray
Clark and Lyle Tyler. of Central Lake,
and the serious injury of Wesley Clark
and Glenn Peters, two other Central
Lake young men.
The latter this forenoon was still un-
conscious from badly crushed shoul-
der and body and a crush& head.
Wesley Clark seems the least hurt OF
the four and word from Petoskey hos
pital where the young men were
brought Sunday conveys the news that
he will likely recover.
The train was the heavily loaded re-
sort train on the Pere Marquette. II
was slowing down to make the Central
Lake stop to let off passengers, and
trainmen say, had it been going at full
speed it would have ground the occu-
pants of the car to pieces.
Engineer Fulkins reports that he had
blown the usual whistle for the cross
ing and for the station, and trainmen
say the bell was ringing warning. The
track at that point is said to be open to
the view of motorists for considerable
distance.
Lyle Tyler was the first OF the young
men to pass away. He died at IL
o'clock Sunday night. He was terribly
cut to pieces, crushed about the abdo-
man and his head cut and crushed.
Ray Clark, who died early Monday
morning, had his head crushed and re.
ceived cuts and other injuries.
Glenn Peters, who is still unconscious
has his head crushed, one shoulder
crushed and probably has internal in
iuries.
Ray Clark was sixteen years old; his
brother, Wesley, twenty; Lyle Tyler
was twenty-three, and Glenn Peters
eighteen. The young men had just
started for East Jordan to visit rela
tives.
The accident is the worst in Northern
Michigan this year and should serve as
a warning to other motorists to stop
look and listen before driving acros.
railroad tracks.
(From Tuesdays News.)
Glenn Peters, one OF the four young
men in the frightful auto accident a
Central Lake Sunday morning, remain:
in a comatose condition at Petoskey
hospital. The boys youth and vitality
appear to be prolonging his life, and
may be the means of aiding him to re
cover from his terrible injuries. Hi.
head and one shoulder were crushed
and he received internal injuries.
| Wesley Clark, who was the least in
jured of the four youths in the acci
dent, appears to be on the road to re
covery. His condition is reported en-
couraging today.
The bodies of Ray Clark aud Lyle
Tyler have been taken to Central Lake
for burial.

THE MORNING HOUR

Once more we have had a practical
demonstration Of the futility Of trying
to overturn by law the customs estab-
lished by long experience. The day
light saving law proved to be waster
OF daylight, for, under the law, farmers
and farm hands arose an hour earlier
but we're compelled to delay morning
work in the fields uutil the dew had
evaporated. The daylight saving law
gave city people more time for enjoy
ment but it curtailed production Of
crops and made city people pay more
for food. Along with price-fixing,
government operation and "cost-plus'
contracting, daylight saving has given
way to practical experience.

soldiers in the occupied region has re-

stance an American was killed and in
other encounters several Americans

At Third army headquarters it was

Incidentally the Germans admit
they are keeping a record of the treat

urged constitutional objections. the
Montana senator declared their argu-
ments rounded on theories long since
disproved. He quoted many prece-
dents to support his position that the
covenant neither sets aside any con-
stitutional prerogative nor assumes
any new power In treaty making.
