NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Michigan Northern Would Open New
Business Possibilities.

One of the big items of tonnage
originating in the territory through
which the Michigan Northern rail-
road will pass, is milk. Tonnage
statistics placed before the utilities
commission and which have been
gathered along the line indicate a
big tonnage of raw milk. The po-
tential tonnage of this commodity,
however, is much larger if collection
and transportation facilities are pro-
vided.
Unlike other items of tonnage the
milk tonnage is a daily revenue and
the line passes through an ideal dairy
country which has not fully de-
veloped its possibilities. One of the
shippers on the line that will branch
out if increased transportation facil-
tiles make it possible to obtain the
raw product. is the Libby plant at
Perrinton. The daily collection for
this plant totals 100000 pounds of
raw milk. The company claims
there is a big field for its operations
in the territory that would be opened
up by the Michigan Northern and
that when the line is built, the com
pany will branch out, increase its
collections and increase the scope of
it's operation providing the railroad
company equips for handling and
collecting raw milk.

about would dream Of accusing or ne

seriously offered 10 exchange costumes
with richly dressed female relative
who had blamed him for wearing the
unpretentious garments he usually al
fected which she said were unsuited
to a king. But she thought his gown
was too plain for her, so declined the
offer. Now. II is impossible 70 imag
Inc a man Ike Louis even suggesting
such a thing If the dress of men ana
women had not been practically ideD-

Best 70 Secure Proof.

LIES big business is TO prove

whenever people get together. but II
may easily end at that. The truly big

mau who takes things for granted sub

A campaign of education to in

health nurse of the Red Cross will
have TO face in communities where
concerted health activity is an in
novation were discussed. DR.. John

the first big problem was educating
the people of community that mon
ey spent in this work is spent wisely.
The Red Cross Public Health
Nursing service will not supplant the
work of any recognized agency al
ready in the field An effort will be
made to coordinate all such agencies
and to cooperate with them in es-
tablishing and maintaining public
health centers wherever such a CEN
ter would be feasible 1t is the aim
of the Red Cross to establish, in con-
junction with other agencies, these
public Health centers in every COM
munity where practical nursing,
home care of the sick, dietetcs, and
FIRST Aid may be taught, and the
people taught how to check the in

grass about their dwellings ON the
cultivated space, which may have an
area OF ten To fifteen feet. only one
kind of grass is allowed 10 grow, and
il is said that the seeds of this grass
are planted by the ants. Roads are
laid ont regularly, radiating from the
hill across the plain, and the shoots
of undesirable plants are promptly
nibbled off as fast as they appear
among the crops. When the harvest
of the protected grass is ripe the ants
collect the seeds and convey them
along radiating highway to the little
rooms IN their hills. Interesting and
wonderful is the economy of these
tiny insects. They may. when the col
onies are large and numerous enough.

A HYDROMETER
Every MOtorist Should Carry One In
His Car.

Most car owners carry tire gauge
to test the air pressure in their tires.
Many cars, today, are equipped with
device which indicates overheating
in the motor. These are for safety
first purposes, and in this same class
comes the hydrometer which every
motorist should carry in his car.
A hydrometer is glass tube with
rubber bulb on one end and inside
the glass tube is a weighted boat
This instrument is used to test the
specific gravity of the acid solution
in a battery and should be used at
least every two weeks. To take "A
reading. the rubber bulb is pressed
and the point of the hydrometer is
placed in the cell; the bulb is then
released and the acid solution is
drawn up in the hydrometer. If you
find the specific gravity falling be-
low 1875 the battery must be
charged from an outside source.
"Many people, however" says the
expert, who represents the Willard
Storage Battery Company in Alma,
edo not want to go to this trouble
and we are here for just that pur-
pose We will be glad at any time
to take the hydrometer reading OF
any battery without charge. All a
motorist has to do is to drive around
to our place and ask US to test his
battery" Frequent tests of battery
may save considerable trouble anc
expense later on.-adv.

Roman and Greek Characters Were

Daily practice enabled them 10 pun up
