Radish Growers
To Organize
Will Meet at East Jordan in the
Near Future.

Radish Seed Growers OF Northern
Michigan are Organizing. Five associa-
tions of Radlsh Seed Growers have
been organized and the growers OF
Charlevoix County will be asked to
come to meetings held in East Jordan
and CharlevoiX sometime in the near
| future.
These organizations are being formed
for the benefit of the grower and will
also be a benefit to the seed companies
as they will not have so many dissatis-
fled growers if the plans OF the associa-
tions 90 thru.
The system of paying for and the
settlements being made for radish seed
is very unsatisfactory to many OF the
growers and they are asking that a
plan be perfected whereby the grower
will be guaranteed against loss in ship
ping and storage.
AS fast as these associations are or
ganized they elect representative and
these representatives will meet some
time in February at the Court House in
Bel!aire with representatives OF the
seed companies. to lay out plans for the
settlement on seed raised this coming
season.
The growers in the past have been
taking all of the risk for their seed un-
til it was paid for by the companies, no
matter where the seed was stored.
Some growers have lost every bag OF
seed they raised, because the seed
house to whom it was sent stored it in
under other seed, where it spoiled.
The associations are not going to ask
anything unreasonable of the seed COM
panies, but will demand that some
system be put in operation which will
protect them when their seed is once
delivered at shipping station.
We hope every radish seed grower
will be present at these meetings when
they are called, so they may hear the
plans explained.

there is still a possibility that John
Barleycorn may be able to come back,
at least for time if the so-called light
wine and beer amendment is not killed
at the election in April, declared Grant
M. Hudson, superintendent of the
Michigan Anti-Saloon league.
"If this amendment, which is mas
querading as temperance measure
but is really fostered by the same old
liquor interests Of the past, was to pass
In April, it would automatically kill all
restrictive legislation that up 10 this
time has been adopted in Michigan,
said Mr.. Hudson. "The old privilege
even of local option would be wiped
out.
"This war camouflage amendment, il
il was adopted would become effective
in May, 1919, SO that even if the war
bill providing for prohibition after July
1 should he enforced we would have
at least two months of wet Michigan
again. II the war bill is not made oper-
alive, then we would have the saloon
with us once more until at least Jan.
l6, 1920, and If for any reason-such

bition should not be adopted in 1920

Dear Mr.. Kenyon,
Your letter arrived a few days ago

have often wondered. how the boys
from East Jordan came out Of the drive.
Now that the censor is more lenient
in his ways l thought / would. try to
write you more OF the details of my ex.
periences over here. After seven days
on the water we landed at Liverpool
and went directly to the train that
carried us to Dover, arriving ut two q.

no lights were allowed and we march
ed up and down dark streets, resembl-
ing our allies, as to width, until we
came to the road leading upa high
bluff where there was An old fort. We
had few hours rest there and then
marched down to the dock and crossed
the channel to Calais. Here we got our
first taste Of the war. About ten o'clock
that evening signal whistles were
blown and the Englishmen stationed
there informed US that the Germans
were coming over. About ten minutes
later the rumble Of Hun planes were
heard coming down the coast from the
direction Of Ostend. The people ofthe
city went into their cellars and duaouts
that were made for that purpose.
Numerous anti-aircraft guns opened
fire and amidst that roar, three louder
explosions were heard. The xnglish.
men again informed us the Huns had
dropped their bombs with the intention
OF blowing up the docks. His aim Was
bad and only little damage was done.
We understand that the anti-aircraft
guns very seldom bring down plain.
it is so hard to locate them with the
search-lights. Their main purpose is
to keep the planes at high altitude. We
were there three nights and each even

started on our journey to the Marne;
hiking and riding in box cars--stoppina
for short periods Of time at various
places for training purposes. We saw
many. enemy planes while billited
there and on one occasion they dropped
bombs that landed within q hundred
yards OF our camp. No one was hurt.
