Canning Factory
for East Jordan
City Is Assured Of Factory and
Plans Are Being Rapidly
Worked Out.

The Board Of Trade has come to the
definite conclusion that q canning fac
tory is an industry that East Jordan
can no longer ignore, and at re-
cent meeting Of the officers a deei-
sion was reached to begin work Of es-
tablishing one here, to be in opera
ton this summer.
Probably no other city in the state
is so favorabiy located for a canning
factory as East Jordan. The city 10
entirely surrounded with excellent
farming lands and the soil is ideal for
the growing Of products used in can
ming factory. Farmers can make hand
some profits in growing these crops.
They can be marketed in July, August
and September, and so are desirable
early cash crops.
The good roads already built will
make il possible to deliver these
crops from miles around. Then, too,
the prosperity Of the farmers and Of
the city are inseparabiy linked, and II
is the desire Of the business men Of
East Jordan to establish here an in
dustry that will be Of direct benefit to
the farmers. A canning factory is
unquestionably the most acceptable
for this purpose.
The canning industry in this eoun-
try Is having a steady growth, and yet
il Is impossible at the peesent time to
meet the demand for canned goods.
The cities are growing. so rapidly that
the demand is enormous.
A canning factory in East Jordan 10
certain to be a success, because II will
depend upon resources already exist
ina here. II will be q permanent in.
dustry. In fact II is bound to grow.
Just what farm products will be
canned the first season has not yet
been determined, but in a short time
more detailed announcements will be
forthcoming.

neglected to secure license.
The list of such dogs and their
owners are then sent to the State
Live Stock Sanitary commission who
in turn instructs the prosecuting at.
torney to Immediately commence pro.
ceedings against such owners. IL shall
be the duty OF the sheriff, or any
member of the constabulary to To-
cate and kill such unlicensed dogs,
and failure to do so on the part of the
sheriff shall constitute malfeasance
in office He shall also on complaint
of the prosecutor kill any unlicensed
dogs found running at large. Ii shall
be the duty of any police officer to
kill any such dog, where unaccom
panied by its owner and running al
large in a field or enclosure, such dog
being considered private nuisance
Counties pay for stock or sheep killed
by dogs. and there are provisions fol
ascertaining the damage.
Counties may sue and recover foI
such damage also, il the dog owners
are financially responsible. All dog,
must be confined during the hour,
from sunset to sunrise.
Board OF supervisors may pay III
to 500 for horses killed by dogs;
$40 per head for cattle, and s12 pc

Gum Factory
Is Assured
Arrangements Made With De.
troit Concern To Bring Fac.
tory Here.

Two weeks ago President Dwight l..
Wilson and Andrew J. suffern made a
trip to Detroit to negotiate with a gum
manufacturer to remove his factory
from Detroit to East Jordan. They
were entirely successful and closed a
deal whereby the factory will be
brought here on condition the Clark
Seed House can be secured for il.
This factory needs to- expand In or
der to take care of it's rapidly inereas-
ING business. The Clark Seed House
Is very suitable building for II, and
II II is secured the factory will be
brought here at once. Its possibilities
are so great that within a short time
the number Of employees should be
doubled. About twenty-five will be
employed at the beginning.
The Clark Seed House is not to be
given outright, but will become the
property Of the manufacturer after a
certain number are employed for a
period Of years.
A plan Is being worked out to raise
the money for the purchase Of the
building and campaign will be
started at once.

School Off.
GERS Meeting
Held AT Boyne City Last We'd
nesday. February 4th.

On Wednesday, February 4th, In the
Assembly Hall Of the Boyne City Free
Library, as had been previously an
nounced, the. school officers of Char.
levoix County met for instruction In
school law. Mr.. Coffey, Assistant
State superintendent, was present to
present the substance of new laws and
to answer questions on any law affect
ing the school interests of the state.
In his summary Of new school legis.
lation of 1919, Mr.. Coffey explained
the full-year school term, the act re-
quiring all furnace plans to be sub.
mitted to the department, and prohib.
iting the placing of stove In any
school room and requiring ventila.
ton as well as heating, the physical
training law, the act requiring the
printing OF itemized statements OF
all expenditures for the school year
In graded school districts, requiring
all instruction in subjects needed for
eighth grade diploma to be given in
the English language in all schools,
and the act providing for vocational
education for school children from Ii
to Is years of age.
Miss Stewart discussed the shortage
of teachers as the most serious prob.
lem facing the county at the present
time. The most serious danger is,
however, not the danger of being com.
PEELED to close half of the schools be.
cause OF inability to find teachers.
We are facing the graver danger OF
hiring Incompetent teachers who are
employed merely because the low
wage offered to teachers does not at
tract enough applicants so that we
have any choice in the matter
Teachers must be self-supporting, and
must save enough to continue theil
professional training. They shoulc
start on definite wage scale anc
should have the wage increased &C
cording to. training and experience. A
the present time, this is not true o.
the employing OF teachers and pres
ent practice is not conducive to pro
gress. The purchasing power Of {
dollar has decreased fifty per cent bu
the wages of teachers have not ad
vanced accordingly. Since wage
have increased along other lines It |
almost impossible to induce men an
women to enter the teaching profe.

treasurer must secure licenses and
tags from the State Live Stock San.
itary commission, and township and
city treasurers must make applica-
tion for them on or before December
l of each year. They should have
their tags by January /. While on
their assessment tour supervisors can
issue licenses, after which they must
report to the county treasurer the
names of all owners of dogs on
which no license has been paid.
The county treasurer then makes
his report to the State Live Stock
Sanitary commission, which latter
body has protection and supervision
over live stock and poultry from
dogs and may employ all proper
means for the enforcement of the
act, and all police officers of the state
municipalities or townships shall be
at their risposal for that purpose. Su
