EVEN A PATIENT MAN
MUST BALk SOMETIME

]. G. Harvey, who lives near Flint,
is an even-tempered, mild-mannered
man. Fortunately and unfortunately,
his property extends along the road
for a number of rods and his orchards
always look inviting and his shade
trees are very attractive in the sum-
mer time. But Mr.. Harvey is In
trouble. And like lots Of other folks,
when he is in trouble he tells the
State Police about 1t. He says that
people insist upon making an amuse-
ment park out of his barnyard; they
run his cattle, ride his horses. steal
his fruit and tear up his gardens. Last
summer the marauders climbed over
the fence and rode valuable horse
bareback around the farm. The ami
NAL was left in such condition that
Mr. Harvey was forced to sell 1t at
great loss. A few days ago some
boys chased his Holstein cow all over
the lot and staged a miniature bull
fight to the delight of several of the
fair sex, who thought 1t best not to
venture over the wire fence. Mr.. Har-
vey has asked that a State Police
Trooper be permitted to spend Sunday

for assistance In their effort to pro-
tect their fruit trees during the sum-
mer. A letter has just been received

ing for a patrol In this region because
of the fact that many persons are in
the habit Of stealing fruit each year
and canning 1t for winter use. The
letter is. in part, as follows:
Il am writing to ask II 1t will be
possible for you to give US one or
more members of your troopers In
this section OF Berrien County this
summer
I'VE have for many years had our
orchards and berry patches raided by
lot of summer resorters who come
here and expect to cut their expenses
to a minimum while resorting, by
stealing fruit and canning 1t for win
ter use.
Last year we had Corp. Moon OF
your force and he did excellent work
while here. He was thorough gent
leman, attended to his business well,
and appeared to me to be very effici-
ent and to use good judgment In ar
rest matters"
