Farmers Plan
To Cooperate
Will Discuss Direct Buying And
Selling AT Lansing.

Consideration of establishment OF a
middle western farmers exchange to
direct buying and selling by cooper
ative grain elevators will dominate the
program of meeting of representatives
of the farm bureaus of the middle-west-
ern states, at the Michigan State Farm
Bureau headquarters in Lansing, July
q and %.
Movement among the farmers to
strengthen community elevator assoc
iations that are operating on cooper
ative basis and coordinate their activi-
ties for efficiency, elimination of su-
perfluous handling of commodities and
of speculation is extending rapidly
over the country. 1t is particularly
vigorous in the middle-western terri
tory.
Michigan and Illinois have made
rapid strides along this line. State
exchanges have been set up in both
states.
1t is not proposed to operate through
terminal elevators but to establish the
local elevators so strongly that they
may be in position to carry their
proportion of grain from the period of
marketing to the period of consumption,
eliminating the need of speculative capi-
tai, and then through a central brok-
erage agency or exchange, shipments
may be made by the shortest and least
expensive route from point of pro-
duction to point of consumption, there
by excluding all non-essential handling.

ALFALFA SUCCESS ON
INCREASE in STATE
Firmly Packed Seed Bed Said to
be Vital.

That firm packing of the seed bed
before summer paintings of alfalfa often
makes the difference between success
and failure with the crop, is the state
ment of Prof. j. F. Cox, head of the
farm crops department at M. A. c..
Many Michigan farmers will seed al
falfa during July, and in lower Michi-
gan during early August These men
cannot afford to overlook the import
ance of carefully prepared seed bed.
alfalfa is being planted in Michigan
at the present time with more success
than ever before, says Professor Cox.
"This is due to the fact that farmers of
the state have learned the necessity of
using Northern grown seed, of using
lime, of inoculating seed, and finally of
preparing firm, clean seed bed.
"Seed beds can usually be fitted in
excellent shape for midsummer seed
ings. Were it not for the fact that mid
summer droughts are quite frequent,
late July seedlings would be recon-
mended above spring paintings. AS it
is, on ground which is foul with grass
or weeds, opportunity is given to era
dicate these pests before alfalfa is
planted.
"Seed beds prepared during mid
summer are likely to be dry and ashy,
however, and since few packing rains,
as compared with spring, can be
counted on at that time, special care
must be taken to pack the seed beds
firmly with roller or with cultipacker.
A thorough firming of the seed bed
often makes the difference between
success and failure with the CROP"
Detailed information in regard to
securing stand Of alfalfa in Michigan
may be had by writing to Director
Experiment Station, Michigan Agri-
cultural College, East Lansing, and
asking for Circular no. 81.

School Bill
Off the Ballot
Groesbeck Holds Proposed
Amendment Unconstitutional.

Holding it TO be in conflict with the
Constitution of the United States, Attor-
ney General Groesbeck in an opinion
given out Friday rules that the pro-
posed amendment to the state consti-
tuition which would require all children
between the ages of five and sixteen
to attend the public school should not
be placed on the ballot at the coming
November election. This is the amend
ment proposed for the purpose of
abolishing parochial schools in this
state.
Referring to the provisions of the
fourteenth amendment OF the federal
Constitution which prohibits the states
from abridging the privileges and i'm
munities of citizens and from depriving
any person of life, liberty or property
without due process of law, Mr.. Groes-
beck says that while the state has the
undoubted right to regulate private
schools and strictly supervise them, il
cannot 60 so far as to absolutely pro-
hibit and destroy them or prevent those
who desire attending them.

FIRE BLIGHT HITS
MICHIGAN ORCHARDS
Parasitic Disease Reported on
Increase In State.

Fire Blight, parasitic disease COM
mon to apples and pears and some
times found on plums, is reported as
having developed considerably in the
state following the recent rainy periods,
which caused rapid trees growth.
Great orchard damage is caused by the
disease, as il can destroy flowers, leaves,
twigs, branches, and even the entire
tree. Prompt action is necessary to
prevent serious damage in orchards,
according to DIR. G. H. Coons, Plant
Pathologist at the Michigan Agricul-
tural College. DR.. Coons gives the
following information regarding Fire
Blight, which will be of value in aiding
orchardists to recognize the disease:
"Fire Blight attacks all parts OF the
tree except the roots. The different
kinds of attack are sometimes given
special names, but it is important that
growers recognize that these are all
evidences of the same disease. For
example, Fire Blight exists as Bios
som and Twig Blight 1t also pro-
duces a Rot of the fruit, but in its
most serious form it produces a LIMB
CANKER which may develop into
"BODY BLIGHT. This disease shows
very distinctive signs. In the case Of
blighted twigs we have very we'll
marked indication, viz. the twigs are
killed and the leaves, Drowned or
blackened, cling to them tightly.
"FIRE BLIGHT is quick-working
disease and the leaves wither on the
dead stems exactly as if the twigs were
broken from the tree. If the effect
on the twigs were the whole story, no
fruit grower would need be greatly
alarmed on account of FIRE BLIGHT,
but the disease does not stop at the
wig, for it works down into the small
Ter branches and from them into the
large limbs, producing canker. The
LIMB CANKER may take good sized
limb or it may even kill main branch
and thus cut tree in two.
"The bacteria which cause the dis
ease live over winter in the limb can
kers. When growth begins, the bac-
terra increase in number and ooze out
in stickey drops from the cracks in the
bark. Insects visiting these bacterial
masses carry the germs to the flowers,
twigs, or leaves. In the case of the
flowers the disease works down the
flower stalk into the twigs. In case of
water sprouts the disease gets to the
trunk of the tree Immediately and pro-
duces BODY BLIGHT. This results in
the death of the entire, tree.

what some people call the orgy Of
spending has not exhausted ITSELF"
said Mr.. Edwards, "but my men. In
their. talk with merchants and others
who pay the great bulk of the taxes
have been told that the peak Of ex-
travagance seems to have been reached
and that q period Of retrenchment is
close at hand.
Little Grumbllng on Tax.
1--WE hear lot about the income and
excess profits tax which falls due in
the spring of every year, and about the
hardship of meeting It, but the fact
is that the steadiest tax and one which
Is least felt by the public and Of
which we hear very little. is the lux
ury impost. The poorer chap who
buys his girl an Ice cream soda
doesn't grumble at the penny or two
who presents his fiancee with dia-
mond tiara or a touring car. Neither

compared with the expenditure.
"a kings ransom was spent for
candy last December, but the biggest
revenue came from dealers In jewelry,
furs and automobiles. The theaters

persons start to economize they usu

are no indications Of any panic In these
figures. The man who said Always
be n bull on the u. S. A. seems to be
indicated.
Small Taxes Swell Total.
"An interesting thing about the lux.
ury tax Is that more revenue Is be-
ing derived from ice cream sodas and
other small sales which carry penny
or two tax than there is from the
sale Of motorcars. diamonds and other
luxuries. Druggists paid a large sum
on expensive perfumes and cosmetics
Every manufacturer. producer or I'm

after May 1, 1919 the tax of ten per
cent shall be levied and collected on
luxuries, including many kinds of ex-
penslve articles In daily use. In the
sale of these articles the dealer acts
as a collection agent for the govern
ment. Other taxes are paid In the
form of stamps"

Brutal Holdup
At Boyne Falls
O. II. Marsh Kicked And Robbed
By Bandits.

The most daring and brutal holdup
and attack that has come to light in
Northern Michigan for many months,
was pulled off by three bandits at
Boyne Falls last Friday night.
The victim was o. II. Marsh, pro-
prietor of the Marsh Hotel, and tele-
graph operator at Boyne Falls, who
was seized by the trio just as he stepp-
ed from his auto about midnight on
his return from trip, ordered to throw
up his hands and then to deliver up his
cash and other valuables.
Marsh isn't accustomed to such
treatment, and he proceeded to fight.
Thereupon he was knocked down and
relieved of his cash, which amounted to
$40, and of his watch and other valu-
ables. Not satisfied with striking and
kicking their victim during the holdup,
the bandits continued to kick him in
the face after they had taken all he had,
and desisted only when citizens who
had been awakened by the melee
appeared on the scene. Then they dis
appeared in the darkness with their
booty. Marsh would have been beyond
recovery had the kicking continued a
minute longer, it is said
After an all-day chase Saturday, a
hunt all Saturday night and until A
O'Clock Sunday morning, Sheriff
Weaver, OF Charlevoix county, gave up
the hunt for the three bandits.
Sheriff Weaver and posse overlook
the highwaymen south of Boyne Falls
Saturday but after a running revolver
battle the men escaped into a large
swamp at the Elmira coal dock on the
Pennsylvania lines. One highwayman
was wounded and lost his hat, coat
and gun in the battle. Five members
of the Michigan State Police aided
Sheriff Weaver in surrounding the
swamp, but the men could not be
located.
The posse discovered where the
men spent part of Friday night in a
basn near Boyne Falls. When over
taken they were walking along the
railroad track headed south. When
ordered to halt they opened fire, but
their shots went wide.
Deputy Sheriff Fred Coone, of Char
levoix, and Deputy Joseph Stevenson,
of Boyne Falls, aided in the chase.

Fair Swindler
Does Merchants
Boyne City and PetOskey Trim
med by Check System.

Pretty smooth" is a phrase being
heard on every hand in the city today.
Mrs. Josephine Starks, so styled,
lQnded at the Belvedere Hotel in Char
levoix, some weeks ago: She at once
opened checking account with the
CharlevoiX State Savings Bank and
began issuing checks which were
promptly paid. After a two weeks
stay she moved to Walloon Lake where
she renteda cottage and at once became
liberal patron of the merchants in
Petoskey and Boyne City.
The lady's scheme was to enter a
store, introduce herself as resorter,
make a small purchase and in payment
write check for large amount claim
ing the change. The first batch OF
checks to be forwarded to the Charlie
voiX bank was protested, this started
an investigation which developed the
fact that the most prominent merchants
ofPetoskey had been 'stung" for an
amount aggregating $4,000, while
Boyne City merchants were let down
for something like $4,000. A trip by
interested parties to Walloon yesterday
divulged, the already suspected fact,
that the lady had flown. CharlevoiX
and Emmett County officers are now
trying their best to locate her-in the
meantime merchants seem to prefer
cash to strangers ks.-Boyne Citi-

About 40 At
School Meeting
Directors Reelected; Fine Pro-
sress on New Building
Reported.

The annual meeting of Dist. No. A.,
fri, South Arm Township was held at
the school house last Monday night.
About forty were present. The secre-
tary's and treasurer's reports were
read and accepted. The school year
was fixed at 81 months. Ira D. Bart
lett and c. H. Pray, whose terms ex-
pired, were reelected to succeed them
selves. The name of DIR. H. w. Dicken
was presented for consideration with
that OF Ira d. Bartlett but Mr.. Bartlett
won, 20 to Is, with three votes scatter
ing. DR.. Pray had no opposition.
A report which created much inter-
est was given by DR.. Pray regarding
the financial condition of the new
building. AT the present time not
quite half of the money has been ex-
pended and there is every reason to
believe that the new building will be
constructed for the amount of the ap-
preparation, namely, $4,000. Many
people have believed that it is impossi-
BILE to construct as large and fine a
building as the new school for any,
thing like $4,000, but it is evidently
being done in East Jordan. 1t is plan
ned to have portion of the building
ready for occupancy by the opening of
school and to complete the building en-
tirely little later.
