resent the County Farm Bureau
at the annual meeting of the
State Farm Bureau at Lansing in
February.
w. H. Keddy, a prominent farm
er of Genessee county and rep
resentative of the State Farm Bu-
reau, was present and outlined
the essential features Of the cam
paign, and stated that the success
of the campaign depended large
ly upon the township chairmen,
and urged each one to get his men
ready at the earliest possible
date. When Mr.. Keddy stated
that up to date in other counties
the organization had succeeded in
getting 80 per cent of the farmers
number of those present stated
that they were going to exceed
that percentage in st. Clair Co.
Mr.. Keddy will return next week
and assist Chairman Pearce and
county Agent Brody in holding a
series of preliminary meetings of
the various township chairmen
and their assistants.
If the interest and determina-
tion shown can be taken as an in
dication of the success of the
campaign, probably the highest
figures that have yet been realiz-
ed will be reached in st Clair
county.

The Best Town on the Map

It's not in distant Asia, in Egypt
or Japan,
It's not in France nor Russia nor
on the Isle of Man;
It's not in Greece nor Italy, nor
far away as Nome
It's in the country where you live
the town you call your home.
Be always glad to praise it no mat
ter where you are.
Be ready to defend it's name and
spread it near and far.
And when you hear some knocker
knock, respond at every rap :
"The town where | am living is
the best one on the map.
The little place where kreside is
good enough for me;
| love it's shady hooks and dells,
its air and open sea.
! know it is a tiny spot, old-fash-
ioned, quaint and odd,
But every tree and leaf and shrub
reveals the hand of Cod;
So when some fellow comes along
and gives the place a whack,
| feel like telling him to go and
nevermore come back,
Because it's much too good a place
to harbor such chap
"The town where | am living is the
best one on the map"
If any town in which you live is
backward, dull or slow,
Why don't you try the boosting
plan, and help to make il
grow ?
It's little use to vilify, to kick and
run it down
Such antics never built a shack,
nor ever made town.
If you would have your burg be-
come a busy growing mart
Just put your shoulder to the
wheel and help it get a start
And let this little motto be en-
shrined upon your cap:
"The town where / am living is
the best one on the map"

hostilities, and ii was thirteen years
after the Civil War before prices re-
turned TO the pre- war level, according
10 statements made by the Department
of Labor through the Information and
Education Service. The statement says
in part:
IA comparison of the course of prices
