M. r. Keyworth
Elected Sec y
East Jordan Board of Trade
Makes Excellent Selection.

AT a business meeting of the East
Jordan Board of Trade held last week
Thursday, the matter of employing a
permanent secretary was disposed Of.
Supt. M. r. Keyworth has been act
ing-secretary for the past few months
and has proved himself capable man
in that capacity. Mr.. Keyworth's pro-
position to the Board was fair one,
and il is the unanimous verdict of all
our citizens that the securing of Mr..
Keyworth as a permanent secretary
was a wise choice on the part of the
members present at this meeting.
Mr.. Keyworth states that school mat
ters will always have precedence with
his work, but that he has ample time
outside of this to take care of Board of
Trade matters properly. He will de-
vote his vacation" periods to the
work.
Mr.. Keyworth has been consistent
booster for our city since coming to
East Jordan to take charge OF our
Public Schools, and it is men of his
type that make town progressive.

Township
School Days
Dates and Places Selected and
Chairmen Elected.

Plans are already well under way for
the township school days of the rural
schools. In every township, but one,
the teachers have met, elected their
chairman for the contests, appointed
committees, decided upon the kind of
outdoor program they wished to have,
studied the premium list for the ex-
hibit, and made plans for the eighth
grade commencement exercises.
The schools this year agreed to have
the exhibit work repeated with a uni
form list in awarding premiums in
order that only the best work may be
selected for exhibition in the Educa-
tional Hall at the County Fair. They
felt that only work following uniform
list could be compared and judged in
satisfactory manner. Each township
will have some sort of outdoor pro-
gram. A few have chosen athletic
feats, one or two have selected stunts
from the Detroit Decathlon Contest list,
and still others plan on games, singing
foik-dances and winding of the May
Pole. In every township commence
ment exercises will be held for the
eighth grade graduates as in 1919. So
far all have reported picnic or potluck
dinners, but few Of the teachers wish
ed to leave this undecided until third
or fourth meeting which they plan on
having as soon as the roads make such
meetings possible.
The following schedule has been
agreed upon, with election of charmen
as indicated.

HAVE YOU GOT YOUR
FARMERS CALENDAR!

The Peoples State Savings Bank has
received shipment of Formers Cal

they could furnish this very practical
calendar to every farmer who failed to
get one at the first of the year.
The supply being limited, it having
been impossible to get large quantity,
il is suggested that all persons who
want one of these calendars call at the
bank at an early date and get one, OF

set one aside for those who so desire

the farm removes fertility which costs
today to replace S16.61, and ton of
rye straw removes an amount equal
to $50; while ton of butter sold
from the farm removes only 74c
worth of fertility.
That soy beans planted in corn will
add 1000 pounds to 1,50O pounds per
acre of ensilage, and improve its
quality without lessening the yield of
corn.
That rye and vetch sown in corn at
the last cultivation is easy money the
following year, and that volunteer
crop which can be obtained by har-
rowing the stubble without any more
seed will make a green manure crop
equal if not better than a good stand
of clover.
That our corn is worth more ensiled
ears and all than can be realized in
any other way.

WICKERSHAM FORCES IN JUNEAU GUST HECKMAV FOLLOWERS FROM

JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 7-(Specia to The Citizen) The Wickersham forces n this town have apparently scored the first points ill the republican national commit nomination of Senator R. Heckman of Ketchikan The Heckman element busted from control of the Juneau republican club last night.

C. Mcbride president and Harry Lucas secretary and elected Earl L. Hunter president; Dr. L.. P.

 H. l.. Faulkner and R. E. Robertson lead the sup porters of Senator Hickman. At the meeting of the cuE during which Mr. Hickman endorsed there were 125 republicans present. The coup pulled off last night planned n advance by the Wickelsham forces and the program prepared without the knowledge of the Heck man supporters who cought mapping and most of their supporters including of the leading business men of the town absent.

CONSOLIDATION
 FOR RAILROADS
 NOW ADVOCATED

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-R- In an address delivered here tonight, Walk CT b. Hines, director general of the railway administration, outlined fully plan for the reorganization of the railroads of the nation which he urg- ed should be adopted prior to the return of these properties to private ownership and control. This is the first utterance of the director gen. eral on the subject and it is being given serious study by advocates of both government operation and the supporters of private operation and ownership.
 MT Hines urges that all the rail way systems be consolidated into either four or eight great corpora tions. This, he asserted, should be made compulsory and not left to the inclination of the private owners. The management of these corporations, u6 SdlU, Oc dlOu6 tuC plOuuCot lines and in it should be represented railway labor. capital and the gen eral public. To wait until after the roads are returned, in the judgment of the director general, would be un- wise, and this consolidation should be effected before the return of the properties.
 He said that this, or some simi- lar plan, should be adopted unless government ownership of public util- ities including the railroads should be adopted. He Is of the opinion that government operation has not had fair test but believes that the roads will be returned in accord with the announcement of President on or about March 1. He is opposed to the Cummins' reorganization scheme which he declares does not cover the needs of the situation.

BROTHERHOODS
 TO COOPERATE
 REDUCE H. (. L
RAILWAY UNIONS DECIDED TO SEEK SOLUTION OF HIGH COST OF LIVING IN COOPERATIVE BUYING; MAY SUSPEND DE- HANDS FOR TIME.

WASHINGTON, Jan. r. [P It was learned here tonight that the officials of the four big railway brotherhoods and leaders of affili- ated crafts unions have decided to seek solution to the high cost of living thru a vast scheme of cooper ation. According to the statements made in this city the proposal will include cooperative buying, produc- tion, distribution. selling. in order to lessen the waste therein.
 In some quarters this proposal is construed as indicating that the rail- way workers demands for further in creases in wages will not be pressed pending the outcome of the experi- ment. The union officials, however, have made no comment on this phase of the matter, merely saying that their organizations are devoting a large part of their time to plans for putting the experiment on solid footing so that If 1t fails it will be thru no effectiveness of the policy rather than any lack of preparation or inefficiency on the part of those having control of the cooperative system.

VICTORIA. B. C., Jan. 7.-(P)- William Sloan. provincial minister of mines and commissioner of fisheries, tonight announced that he. has made proposals to the government at Ot- tawa for the taking over by the Cana dian government of all Pacific coast fisheries. MT. Sloan declares that several desired objectives can be at tained by this method.
 First of importance, he declared, would be the protection of Canadian fishery resources that such a system would insure. Under the present sys- tenn of private fisheries, he said, the fishing industry is being slowly bur destroyed Government operation, he said, would result in the elimination of all unnecessary competition and unestimated waste. This, he said, would inevitably reduce the cost of fishery products to- the general public.

American champion of the world. The offer made by MT. Coffroth totals $4O0,OOO of which the loser will get s10O,O0O and the winner s3O00O0.
 Manager Descamps objects to the proposed division of the purse. de- claring that the purse should be split evenly between the two fighters. He also objects to the 45-round bout specified by MT. Coffroth, declaring that neither man is worthy of the championship if the result cannot be settled inside of fifteen rounds. Des- camps declares that his man will prove as big drawing card as Demp, sey and for that reason there should be no unequal division of the purse. He also wants the bout limited to ten rounds if possible.
