Good Roads To Be Built
This Summer
PLANS ARE MADE FOR SEVERAL MILES LEADING
INTO EAST JORDAN

Just as as the goes, work will be started on
the Ellsworth road and before fall gravel road will be
constructed all the way to neghboring village ac
cording, to County Road Commissioner Courier The
peninsula road will also be completed early The Elmra
be surveyed as soon as the snow off, and this road will
also be constructed if it possible secure the labor to
do it. The fact that there good many who plan on
working on the roads this summer makes quite probable
tina this road will be constructed The money appro-
prated so that is only question of securing the labor
This is very important road it is used by great
many farmers in coming to East Jordan
By fall there will likely be five state award roads lead
ing ing from East Jordan to valuable farming communities
These roads are of tremendous Importance especially
with canning factory located here Products for the
canning factory must be delivered within few hours
after they harvested and good roads will enable farm
living several miles away to have the advantages de-
rived from raising such products.
Good roads can not be constructed too fast Every
season that farmer lives in section with poor roads
means just one more year cut off from his fullest pros
pery and enjoyment The universal sentiment seems to
be tina tsince the money is already raised the roads
should be constructed in the shortest possible time and
Commissioner Courier is planning the coming season
as banner one in road building

Care of lubricating System Said vi.
tal-Isnition Troubles Also
Bother Operator.

East Lansing, March 22.-"Proper
care of the lubricating system is the
vital problem in operating farm trac.
tors" says E. C. Sauve, of the Farm
Mechanics Department at the Michi.
gan Agricultural College. "The life
OF tractor can be materially short
ened or heightened from the average,
according to the care given to the
oiling system"
Once understood, the tractor is not
a complicated machine, and a man
can learn readily to care for it prop
erly. fabrication questions, however
are always present and always i'm.
portant, and they demand careful at
tention for successful operation of
the machine.
"A great many Of the costly tractor
repairs can be traced to inefficient lu-
brication, or to an entire lack of lu.
brication. With the use of present
day fuels, more or less of the liquid
does not vaporize. This liquid passes
between the piston and cylinder,
lodges in the crank case, and mixes
there with the oil. The fabrication
oil becomes thin and losses it's lubri.
eating qualities, with the result that
bearings and all moving parts within
the motor will heat and wear unduly
when enough of this unvaporized fuel
is allowed to accumulate.
The manufacturers instructions
regarding the changing of oil regular
ly are very important and should be
closely observed"
Ignition troubles also contribute
heavily to the worries OF tractor op-
orator, according to Mr.. Suave. 1t is
a system not easily understood by the
average owner, and should not ordin-
arily be tampered with. Spark plug
trouble, however, which causes a
good deal of the ignition difficulties,
can be remedied quite easily.

o'clock Tuesday evening, March 9th,

1t seems then that it is distance-liy-
ing away from home, and the present
system that causes the absence of
many rural high school students.
Then too the average country pupil
has had such hard time struggling
along through eight grades with only
ten or fifteen minutes of the teachers
time for each class, that his chances
Of passing the examinations for his
state diploma are rather discourag-
ing. Sometimes they try a second or
third time before passing and are then
sometimes conscious of being older
than the average student and are at
just the age when they are most like
ly to want to quit. Maybe they fail
entirely or become too discouraged to
try second time In Charlevoix coun-
ty during the past four years 473
country children have written on the
eight grade test. OF these 25S receiv-
ed diplomas-which is just 54 per
cent of those who wrote. OF every
two who wrote one would need to go
home broken hearted with a year of
work in vain. The city schools have
not regularly taken the tests-not at
all during the last two years, and
before that only part of the students.
Therefore it would not be fair to COM
pare their record although it is a very
good record. In Boyne Falls they
have maintained either a three or
four room school every year and in
st. James a five room school. From
these two schools, which are the only
small graded schools in the county.
during the past four years, 81 children
have written on the test and 25 have
received diplomas, that is out of ev-
cry 10 passed the state examination.
