Jail Delivery
At Petoskey
George Near and Robert Johnson
Saw Way To Freedom.

Two men prisoners in the Emmett
County Jail sawed their way to freedom
during the early morning OF Thursday,
Nov. II, ,Armistice Day, and so far have
not been recaptured. The men were
George Near, charged with burglary at
the Fochman Department store, and
Robert johnson, negro, charged with
cashing bad checks in Petoskey.
The men removed green putty from
one of the windows on the south side
of the Jail, put it aronnd one OF the bars
i'm the window and sawed the bar off in
nice shape. Sheriff Miller, who had
lust returned from tip to Fort Leav-
enworth, said he believed the men
were given outside assistance, probably
having been supplied with keen cut
ting hack saw.
No one heard the men at their work
and no one saw them crawl through
the window to freedom. The hole
through which they escaped was about
eight by sixteen inches in size. Near
was believed to have escaped easily but
johnson was thought to have had dif-
ficulty in crawling through the small
opening.
News of the escape was sent to every
sheriff and chief OF police OF the state
and local officers believe the men will
soon be rounded up.
Near was waiting trial, having been
in Jail for several weeks. johnson was
brought back from Elkhart, Ind, about
ten days ago.

Sale Agencies
May Fix Prices
Head Of National Grange Issues
Ultimatum to Financiers

''The establishment of nation wide
selling organizations which shall fix the
price of farm products" if the farmer
does not receive "the same pay for the
same hours work that others receive"
was predicted by Sherman j. Lowell,
of Fredonia, N. Y, master of the Ma
tional Grange of the Patrons of Husband
ry, at the annual convention of the
grange held recently at Boston.
eve are willing to have fair under
standing of values, the farmers receiv-
ing the same pay for the same hours
work that others receive, no more, no
less, but we feel that this is the last
call" he said. '1f no attention is paid
to this now by bankers, manufacturers,
railroads and labor organizations, and
if the government continues to use its
great power 10 import raw material
free of duty to rednce costs, then the
grange will be the first to help organ
ize nation wide selling organizations
which shall fix the price of farm pro-
ducts.
"There is no threat in this; we will
have been driven to it in self-defense
to preserve our agriculture.
"This condition is repugnant to us
all. We desire no class regulations nor
class divisions. 1t is no small task,
however and il can ONLY he safely done
by proper appreciation of this task by
our urban population"
Mr.. Lowell rejoiced that labor has
been able to secure a much higher rate
of wages, but added:
eve little expected that they would
turn and demand cheaper food from us
without first ascertaining the cost of
production and thereby proving
whether or not we were taking, too
large margin of profit.

A BACHELORS PRAYER

Backward, turn backward, o Time, in
your flight!
Give US a maiden with skirts not so
tight;
Give us girl whose charms, many or
few,
Are not exposed by much peek-a-boo.
Give us a maiden, no matter what age,
Who WON'T use the street for vaude-
vile stage;
Give us girl not so sharply in view;
Dress her in skirts that the sun won't
shine through.
Then give us the dances of days long
gone by;
With plenty of clothes and step not so
high;
Gust turkey-trot capers and butter
milk glides,
The hurdy-gurdy twist and the wiggle-
tail slide;
Then let us feast our tired optics once
On a genuine woman as sweet as of
yore.
Yes, Time, please turn backward and
grant our request
For Gods richest blessing-but not
one undressed.

Thanksgiving
Proclamation
Thursday, Nov. 18th, Day OF
Thanksgiving and Prayer.

"Praise waiteth for thee, o God, in
Zion; and unto thee shall the vow be
performed.
Thou crownest the year with thy
goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
The pastures are clothed with flocks;
the valleys also are covered over with
corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. .
Following the custom established by
our fathers nearly three hundred years
ago, it is entirely fitting that we should
set apart one day in the year as Thanks
giving Day.
We have gathered this year a most
abundant harvest. We have enough
and to spare. Our own people will be
fed, and out of our abundance we shall
help to satisfy the worlds hunger. For
this and for other blessings, for peace
at home and abroad, for the general
spirit of content, for work to do and
the will to do it, the people of Michigan
may we'll give thanks and make solemn
and public acknowledgment OF their
debt to the Most High.
Therefore, ALBERT E. SLEEPER,
Governor of the State of Michigan, do
hereby join the President of the United

Locate Wreck
OF Seaplane
Debris Strewn Along Lake Mich
isan For Miles AT MuskegOn

Edward Nedeau, patrol from the
White Lake coast guard station, near
Muskegon, late Saturday discovered
the wreckage of the missing Great
Lakes naval training station machine
HS-2L, along the shore of Lake Michi-
gan.
The wreckage was strewn along the
shore for a distance of four miles, &C
cording to Nedeau, who returned late
this afternoon to the station. Practical
ly the entire wreckage of the plane
was found.
"There could be no mistake" said
Nedeau. "The battleship gray and the
numbers make it certain.
No clothing was found. Two cush-
ions that floated ashore were among
the wreckage.
The wreckage was found about six
miles south of White Lake, which is
about sixteen miles up Lake Michigan
from this city.
Additional patrols were sent out at
once from the White Lake station.
An aeroplane was seen flying over
head by the coast guards who tried to
signal it without avail. The plane is
one sent from Great Lakes training
station.
No details were given as to the fate
of the three aviators who were in the
machine, but the report of the wreck
age being found dispelled hopes that
they would be found alive.
The plane was reported missing last
Wednesday.
The submarine chaser 419, revenue
cutter Tuscarora, coast guard crews
from Sheboygan, Manitowoc, Milwau-
kee and Two Rivers, and a fleet of
fishing boats and tugs had engaged in
vain hunt for the plane since las
Thursday.

DO YOUR CHRISTMAS
PLANNING EARLY.
Governor.

Right this minute we are beginning
to think about the price OF Thanksgiv-
ing turkey and by the time that prob
lem is compassed it will be just one
swift leap into Christmas activities and
the old, old question of how many and
what sort of gifts to prepare. To the
woman who deftly fashions things with
needle it is but question of beginning
in time. For there are innumerable ac-
cessories for the home that are always
acceptable, and never so pretty as
when made by the nimble fingers that
would have them not only thing of
beauty, but also something that speaks
OF the love that has entered into the
making. 1t is then JOY to give and to
receive, and the value of the gift lies
more in the tender thought that it con-
yeys than in the cost of its production.
Among gifts that can be made are
lovely handkerchiefs, dainty and prac-
tical house caps, dresser sets-and
these may be OF many varieties and
fabrics, ranging from the pretty check
ed toweling with its lace and crocheted
edge, to the more expensive ribbons
and silks-camisoles of ribbon and
yokes of pretty filet crochet, and bags,
with no end of choice in their making,
talcum box covers, croched or of ribbon
and lace, doilies, pillow tops, cases Of
cretonne for napkins, pillow slips, cor
sets, umbrellas, markers for the linens
and cottons, and on and on with an in
terminable list any one of which delight
the homekeeper.
Then there is stenciling to be used
when preferred, and tatting trimming
if you can tat, and the cross stitch can
be employed effectively, and darning
on net for variety, and last, but not
least, from the kitchen can come those
delicious gifts made with nominal ex.
pense for each, If little extra time is
given to the effort, there would seem
to be no reason why our near and dear
friends should spend giftess Yuletide,
while we be moan the lack of funds 10
provide these things. All this inclines
one to Argument the slogan of ''shop.
ping early" by adding also 'Do your
planning early" thereby insuring tc
everyone "merry Christmas. And
if you don't-well, Santa Claus viii
ketch you il you don't watch out!

Teach Religion
In Public School
Michigan Leaders Would Give
Idea Fair Trial During Next Year

Non-denominational religious instruc-
tion is to be given a fair trial in the
public schools of Michigan, according to
present plans of the states educational
leaders.
Careful study is to be given the SUBJ
ject of courses in inspirational reading
and religious study to develop courses
that will not only meet with the approx
al of all religious sects, but which will
be of greatest help in promoting the
welfare and advancement of public
school students.
1t is purposed to start the develop
ment of such plan after the first of
the year-when problems of the state
educational department in the legis-
lature are disposed of.
Such study is part of comprehen-
sive plan to meet criticisms of public
school courses that the students are
not taught the principles and ideals of
group responsibility. II is recognized
as fact that the tendency in schools
throughout the country has been to
encourage individual advancement to
the practical exclusion of instruction
along the lines of social and moral
obligation of the individual to the group.
Capable and studious speakers have
pointed out that this teaching of social
responsibility among the children of
the nation has been left largely to ac-
cident. Heretofore it has depended
largely on the splendid personalities of
the school teachers, what the children
learn in their homes and on the streets
and traditions for fair-play in school
sports.
In many schools, however, this in
struction has been materially augmented
by the operation of student councils by
means of which the students through
their own government, learn that their
responsibility is not so much to their
| teacher as it is to themselves and their
fellow students. 1t is declared that
this system is what separates the ''mon-
archy" of teacher-rule for the democ-
racy of student-rule.
In fact it is declared that il is on this
very realization of group responsibility
that the safety and stability of the
democracy rests. 1t is only by respect
ing the rights of others and duty to
others that this form of government
| can exist
Working upon this theory, knowledge
alone is not sufficient without social
and moral instruction and it is well re-
cognized that this is best secured
through some form of religious teach
ing.
In Michigan's step in this direction
every precaution is to be taken to
make courses of the inspirational sort
that will be accepted by every denomi-
nation and creed and even those who
have no creed except desire for hon.
esty and duty.

FIGHTING PEACH-TREE
PEST WITH GAS
SAVES MILLIONS

The results of what is known as the
para dichlorobenzene treatment for the
eradication of the peach-tree borer lead
experts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to believe that a
prcatical means has finally been found
OF ridding orchards of this disastrously
destructive pest. Previously the only
effective method of fighting the borer
was by removing the soil around the
base of the tree and digging the grubs
out of their galleries with a knife. 1t
is estimated that the borers have done
5000, 600 damage year and that
$2,0O0,0O0 a year has been spent in
fighting them.
The ra-dichlorobenzene method
was first used extensively by orchard
lists in 1919. II consists in sprinkling
fine crystals OF the insecticide on the
soil around the base of the infested tree
and covering with earth to hold the gas
The substance is highly volatile and
forms gas when the soil is between "a
and 80 degrees +. This gas is five
times heavier than air and sinks down
through the soil. 1t is highly effective
against the borer; and pound OF the
insecticide, costing not more than Is
cents, is sufficient for or 10 trees
The labor is scarcely one-third OF that
formerly required. The saving there
fore is great.
This year the para-dichlorobenzene
process has been used extensively in
the George Peach belt, some localities
buying as high as $4,000 pounds and
large individual growers as high as
tons each. Growers declare that it is
one Of the greatest accomplishments in
the history Of the department, comRar
able to the self-boiled lime-sulphur
reatment for control Of brown rot and
scab of the peach.

DIFFERENTIATED.

Charlotte-There are no lice in
Ben Hoffman's poultry house in Maple
Grove. Hoffman has discovered the
most thorough louise exterminator eX-
tant. Ben knew just how to fix the
pesky. vermin, so he went into the
poultry house and after cleaning out
the fertilizer he swabbed all the roosts
with a combination of turpentine and
kerosene oil. Probably that would
have been sufficient TO do the business,
but Ben wanted to be real sure, so he
lighted a match and touched it to the
roosts. Then he went out of there and
he went fast, for the combination went
so quickly that Ben saw some speed
would be necessary. He got away be-
fore his clothes ignited. Then he got
busy to save the rest OF the buildings
on the farm, while the hen roost went
up in flames.

Never "squeal" about your insurance
rates until you have done your duty in
regard to the fire hazards about your
own premises. After the base rate,
the rest is purely matter OF addition,
each hazard representing SO much. A
company which did not differentiate
between a fireproof structure and a
''fire trap" would not remain in exist
ence for long.
The truth probably is that not many
women are jealous of their husbands,
but good many wise ones pretend to
be in order to flatter 'em.
