HUNTERS ASK
SHORTENING OF
DEER SEASON
MOVE MARKS BIG STEP IN THE
PRESERVATION OF SPECIES
OF DISAPPEARING GAME

Good news for some and bad news
for others is the fact that the Michi-
gan Public Domain commission has
financially decided to shorten the
deer season ten days and have the
open season from the morning of
Wednesday, November 10 up to Sat
urday night, November 20, just ten
days shorter that the season used to
be for the shooting of Michigan's
most graceful animal--that is wild
animal-the deer, it having been in
past years lawful for an army OF
hunters to go into the north woods
on the tenth of November and blaze
away at any and everything that
moved or did not move and that had
deer's color or any other color, for
that matter, up to and including the
30th day of the month.
The move to shorten the Michigan
deer hunting season was ond for
which the real sportsmen of the state
had been asking for for some time
1t has been apparent for some years
that with the season extending over
as great period of time as it did
and with as great a number Of hunt
ers going up into the woods for the
purpose of killing a deer that the
beautiful game animals would soon
become extinct and rather than face
a proposition Of that knid it was de-
cided to have the season shortened
up. 1t is estimated that the shorten
ing of the season will save the lives
of thousands of deer each year which
would ordinarily be killed or wound
ed in the extra days and then too, il
will enable the hunters to break
camp earlier and get started home
ward in time so that they and their
families will stand some chances of
having their venison for Thanksgiv-
ing day dinner.

Takes RESPONSIBLE Position

&. Edward Johnson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Johnson of this city
left here Tuesday evening for Johan-
nesburg, Otsego county, at which
place he has been engaged to take
the superintendency of schools. Mr.,

gratulate the citizens of Johannes
burg on acquiring the services, of Mr..
Johnson as superintendent of schools
and wish him success in its fullest
measure in his undertaking.

CLEANERS TO
GIVE GREATER
SHARE OF, PROFITS
FARMERS WHO BUY OR SELL
THROUGH CLEANERS ARE TO
PARTICIPATE IN PROFITS

GrandRapids, Sept. 1, 1920.-Under
a plan announced by General Man.
ager, f. E. Lewellyn, of the Cleaner
Clearing House Association, farmers
buying or selling through their local
branches will hereafter share in the
profits in proportion to the amount
of their trade.
In other words, when a farmer
drives up to the local Cleaner branch
and sells his load of beans he viii
receive in addition to his check in
payment, az profit sharing certificate
which will show the amount of his
transaction. At the end of three
months the total profits are deter
mined on all the beans handled, and
the grower will receive his share Of
these profits, /in proportion to the
amount he sold to the branch.
This also applies to purchases made
III farmers buy coal. or other farm
supplies they are issued profit-shar-
ing certificates for the amount of
their purchases. emitting them to
share in profits made on these COM
modities. This pfofit-sharing plan
applies to both sales and purchases
made at the branches. Separate ac-
counts are keut of the sales and pur-
chases in each department, namely
grain, feeds, beans, coal, sugar and
general merchandise, and separate
profit-sharing certificates are issued
on each transaction. This plan OF
dividing the profits is in addition to
the dividends paid on the stock Of
the farmer-owned corporation.
"We believe this to be the most
practical and farreaching plan of co.
operation ever put into effect in the
country said Mr.. Lewellyn, "for 1t
makes of every co-operator an actu-
al participator in the profits of the
local branch in exact proportion to
the profits on the particular commo-
dity he has traded in. This profit
sharing plan was given a very care
full investigation and study before
being inaugurated by our organiza-
tion and we feel confident IL will
work because its underlying princi-
Piles are based on years of experience
Branch elevators and shipping sta
tions of the Cleaner are already in
operation in many sections Of Mich
igan and are rapidly being put In
nearby states"

"Heart o. The Hills"

If Steve Honeycutt and Widow
Hawn had followed the advice of
their children, Mary Pickford would
not be able to offer such a wonder
full picture as Heart o. The Hills,
adapted from the story by John Fox
Jr., which will be shown at the En-
press theatre September 10 and 16
As Mavis Hawn, Miss Pickford takes
the part of a Kentucky mountain
girl at war with certain factors which
she knows nothing of and determin-
ed at least to put an end for all time
to come TO the whippings which her
mother has been literally inficting
A love tale is interviewer in the plot
about a mountain feud of longstand-
ing and the story affords Miss Pick
ford ample opportunity to score such
triumphs as characterized Daddy
Longlegs," and 'The Hoodlum,' her
previous attractions from her lown
studios and released through First
National Exhibitors Circuit. Mavis
and her sweetheart, Jason Honeycutt
oppose the marriage of their parents
for the reason that Honeycutt's
prime motive is prompted by a de-
sire to secure Widow Hawn's valu-
able coal lands. The children, when
grown, fire double shot that ends
Honeycutt's life, when they find he
is responsible for the murder of
Mavis' father.

HIGH SCHOOL
4 OPENS FOOT
BALL SEASON
COACH, JOHN p. SHAND. PRE-
Diets BIG THINGS FOR
OUR LOCAL HLEVEN

Training in football started in
earnest this last week at the High
school and the prospects for a good
team are very fine, indeed. With
Capt. Dehn, Coyle, McKiddie, Skel-
lenger, Storey, McNaughton, Tillot-
son, and Chickering back from last
years team only three positions on
the line are left to be filled.
The berth's open are: one end, a
tackle and the center. Both Fuller
and Cooper look good for the snap
per's place, while Walker, Hawley,
of Libum may go doubles with Storey
in the ariel game. The tackling job
is likely to be copped off by Henry
Johnson, Bailey or possibly Lambert
son.
Coach Shand feels that with the
crop of new candidates out it will
be an easy matter to find suitable
men for the three positions open. Be-
sides the moleskin berth seekers
mentioned, there is a lot of other
good material which the coach is try
my to organize into a second team.
One thing which has interefrred is
the false impression that it's too late
or of no use to come out. This Is not
so and the boys are urged to come
out and help make the season a sue
cess.
This is coach Stands second year
in handling athletics; he was always
a participant in athletics in college
and holds a pennant for long dis
tance in track. Mr.. Shaud is a grad
uate of Ann Arbor.

Pastor Talked On Timely Subject

Rev. w. J. Rookie at the morning
service in the Congregational church
last Sunday gave very able SER
mon appropriate to Labor Day and
the strife now prevalent throughout
the nation between capital and labor
He brought out the points very clear
ly of fraternalism versus paternal-
ism and conciliation versus violence,
basing his message on the scripture,
agree with thine adversary quick
ly whilst thou art in the way with
him." and from the text BLESSED
are the merciful for they shall OBJ
tain mercy, Matt. IT. He argued
that the power and influence of the
church and Christianity should make
itself felt in attempting to settle the
problem by injecting into it the spir-
it of brotherly love, conciliation and
fraternal feeling. Christ the car
penter, of Gallilee was laborer and
instead of being an agitator and fav-
oring strikes advises all men to
"agree with thine adversary quick
ly', and to the task master blessed
are the merciful". He stated that
the strikes in the past four years
according to the Labor Review" each
year, involved more than four mil
lion persons, that in many cases be-
cause inefficient leadership and ig-
noring the spirit of Christianity and
fraternalism both sides are apt to
thing of their differences in terms
Of war which inevitably lead to vio-
lence. The side which drops the
1Public Jbe damnedv attitude and
adopts adequate methods of concili-
alton and the Christian spirit and the
program as outlined by Christ will
win public confidence and furnish a
solution of the problem. Mr.. Rookie
brught out many more excellent
thoughts in his sermon.

EARTHQUAKES AREOF
SMALL ACCOUNT SAYS
WESTERN BOOSTER
NO MORE MICHIGAN FOR HER
WHILE THERE is A
GOLDEN WEST

Mrs. Fred Stebbins, of Los Angeles
California, IS visiting at the home
OF her mother, Mrs. Albert Castle
and intends to make her visit extend
over period of about two or three
months, that is provided that the
weather does not get too chilly and
freeze Mrs. Stebbins out before that
time.
Mrs. Stebbins together with her
husband and family left here num-
ber of years ago for the west, even
tually settling at Los Angeles, where
they are domiciled now and which
place they think is as near as the
original garden of Eden as it pos
sible to find on this old planet. Mrs.
Stebbins is a 100 per cent booster for
Los Angeles and could sing the city's
praises from morning until night and
longer, we suppose, if necessary and
at the same time give a very reason
able and plausible excuse for any lit
tie out of the ordinary matter which
one might advance as against living
in Los Angeles.
Take the small matter Of earth
quakes for instance. After we had
listened to Mrs. Stebbins warble on
about the roses in winter, chimney
less houses, no fuel and lot OF 9TH
er really to be desired features, we
said that for ours, we would rather
enrude the rigor of a good stiff Mich
igan winter than to have our sh5nty
tumbled nown on us almost any time
as result of an earthquake visiting
us. At this fear of ours Mrs. Steb-
bins laughed and said that earth
quakes were nothing. Why she claim
ed that after you are there little
while you don't mind them. They
shake you up little bit and make
you feel a little bit woozy-just like
person used to in old days when it
was still legal to take drink or two
o. whiskey, only that one RECEIVERS
easier from the quake shake and
there are no bad after effects like
there used to be when iiao morning
after'' feeling SAME on. Earth
quakes" she continued, "they are not
one tenth so terrifying as a flash
of lightning and the resultant peals
of thunder that we had before we
left here and went west"
Mrs. Stebbins said that Mr.. Steb-
bins had been doing very well ever
since they went west and never for
minute would they think of COM
ing back to Michigan, even though
their relatives were all living in this
section of the country.

PAlhRIT0 DITCH CASE
WAS DECIDED SATURDAY

The Pajarito ditch election,
V hich has been occupying the at
tention of the district court for the
past few days and which has at
tracted considerable attention, was
Cocided by Judge NJ. +. Hickey yes
terday in favor of Frank Hubbell
and others against A. b, Stroup,
Felipe Hubbell and others.
According to the testimony taken
about three weeks before the cleo
ton of officers of the Pajarito
ditch, A. p. Stroup and Felipe
Hubbell secured proxies from many
! /, nd holders in that vicinity to vote
their stock at the coming election.
| f. A. Hubbell and his forces hear
! ing of the transaction later, went
to the same land holders and Sc
cured later proxies. Stroup, to-
Gether with Felipe Hubbell and
Lis mother, Mrs. May Hubbell,
were the judges of the election and
refused to let the opposing forces
/ cast their votes and proxies, but
did cast the ones they had re-
ceived, it was alleged
| The court held that inasmuch as
the F, a. Hubbell proxies were of
a later date they should be the ones
counted. This gave them almost
two-tO-one vote against the
Stroup forces and naturally seated
Hubbell and his lieutcnants as the
| bosses of the ditch.

LAND OWNERS
ASK ROAD Up
CEDRIC CANYON

A petition Is being put into cir
culatlon, to be presented 10 the
/ district forester the supervisor or
the Manzano national forest and
the state highway commission, for
the establishment and maintenance
of road from Tijeras to the town
of Chilli, by Cedro canyon, which
i location lies in BernalillO county.
The petition is at the Ruppe drug
store, and it is desired that all add

! not received some consideration in
the way of maintenance
And it is claimed it is the logical
new road project of BernaIillo

Iareas in the county.
The agricultural communities Of
Tiroteo, Yrissari, Cedro, Sabine,
Juan Thomas and Gallegos are al
most entirely dependent upon AL
buquerque as a trading point, and
would secure, by the making of the
road, an accessible market for pro-
such as heane oats corn. wheat,
poultry, eggs and livestock,
The mountain Deonle of Chilli,
Ia iinue Torreon uanzano and
Eastview would likewise find an
outlet for surnIus and a convenient
market Mace in which to buv ma
teria1s and nrovtsions
The road would have recreation
value as II wouId omen one of the
most beautiful canyons of the
mountains for Measure riding and

HARDWOOD MEM ORAL MAY
Be RAISED AT SCHOOL

S. 3. Garcia, Sunday school mis-
sionary of the Spanish M. r,
church, is endeavoring to raise a
memorial for the late Mrs. Har-
wood, to be erected at the school
which she was responsible for es-
tablishing and carrying on. The
influence of Mrs HARDWOOD on the
religious and educational life of her
community has been a very lasting
one, and many successful young
men and women today owe their
success to her.
1t is designed to build a chapel
with the memorial fund, and if
sufficient money can be raised it
is hoped to place an organ within
the chapel
