Circle of Kings Daughters.
My work, as agent of the Red Gross

This is Shiawassee County Anti

used for the promotion and furtherance
of the Anti tiTubercuar work through
out the county.
OF the forty-seven chairman who
did such splendid work, forty are not
Kings Daughters, but they are daugh-
ters and sons Of the King, and l can
vouch for them that they will stand be-
hind the state offices aud support this
good work regardless of organization or

The state is larger than the county,

ing such an efficient officer.

BURLESON'S SULPLUS BANISHES

Through a recent decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
Postoffice department will have to pay
the railroads, as additional compensa-
ton for carrying the mails, sum far
in excess of the total surplus acmum-
ulated during the seven years of Mr..
Burleson's term as Postmaster Cen
eral. Mr.. Burleson has the satisfac-
ton of seeing the space basis retain
ed. But the rates of payment for
transportation of mails are materially
advanced, and back pay is awarded
to the railroads for the period since
November 1, 1916. Estimates place
the total at $95,OOO,0OO, but as $73,-
100000 Of this indebtedness accrued
during the two years Of government
control, it will serve to reduce the
railroad deficit, and will not increase
the public expense.
"For the Democratic party to de-
fend Article X during the campaign
would be political suicide. William

WILL CONDUCT INTER
CHURCH CAMPAIGN

L. o. Underwood, of Owosso, has
been announced as the United Cam
paign Director of the Interchurch
World Movement for Shiawassee
county.
This means that Mr.. Underwood
will have general charge, in the week
from April 25 to May 2, of the finan-
cial campaign which is to raise the
money for the 80 great Protestant
denominations which are cooperating
in the Interchurch World Movement.
Each individual church will also
have it's own chairman, committees
and workers. No example of similar
organization has been known since
the Liberty Loans. In a single per-
iod-the week of April 25-May End,
this whole body of workers will
launch it's nationwide financial in
gathering. The total asked nationally
is just over a third of a billion dol
lars.

favorably without delay, that ne
would go before the whole House and
ask that a special committee be ap-
pointed to consider this measure.
"Ill tell you one thing, my FRIEND"
said Mr.. Fordney; "I'm going to raise
Ned if the committee don't report out
this bill. The Democrats from the
south are opposing me in this, and
there will be hot fight. The south
will spoil themselves if given so much
money by the government"
Michigan presented the strongest
state delegation at the American Le-
gion conference. 1t had more men
than any other IA states combined.
The bonus plan is a Michiganplan.
Itoriginated at Michigan posts
throughout the state.
Major A. H. Gannser, state COM
mander of the Legion, stated that
only one post in the state opposed a
bonus. That post is at Marquette,
where Alton T. Roberts is a member
of the Legion. 81 don't understand
it," is all that Major Gansser had to
say.
Those representing Michigan were
Capt. Paul A. Martin of Battle Creek,
national committeeman; State Com
mander Gansser; Lyle D. Tabor, state
adjutant; DR.. Frank Broderick, state
welfare officer; Miss Wilhelmina
Weyhing; Mrs. Margaret Tabor of
Detroit; John G.. Emory Of Grand
Rapids. This delegation is said to
have been responsible for putting the
Legion on record as favoring bonus
legislation. After the Legion meet
ing the Legionnaires attended hear
ings before the Ways and Means
committee. No Michigan men spoke
at the hearing.
State Commander Gansser was
asked if he intended to enter politics
this year. He replied, "No; the rules
of the Legion are that none of us shall
enter politics" There has been lit
tie suggestion that Gansser oppose
Congressman Gilbert A. Currie for
the Republican nomination in the
August primaries. Gansser could re-
sign as an officer of the Legion and
enter the race, but it is not believed
he will violate the spirit of the Le-
gion policy by being able to enter
politics through a technicality of the
Legion's rules and principles.

To the laymen who make up SO per
cent of the church, it has seemed for
many years that the failure OF Chris
tian organizations to play larger part
in world affairs was due to two main
causes: first, improper organization
and business methods, and, second, a
accomplished stresslng OF petty de-
nomInatlonal aims.
Leaders of the Interchurch World
are most careful to give assurance that
they seek no breaking down OF denom-
nations, and that they request no man
to yield his religious convictions In
any matter of conscience. They do
seek to find the common points OF the
whole Christian family. and to work
in unison and comfy for the attain
ment of these ends. They plan also

WOMAN'S CLUB

The Woman's Club met at the IL
brary March 25 for the regular meet
ing. After short business program
Mrs. Lillian Vogel Harding sang.
Miss Virginia Miner then gave a
demonstration of physical training
work as taught in the public school,
using children from several different
grades. 1t was especially interest
ing to see the first grade get their
exercises all in games without realiz-
ing they were doing anything but
playing. The calisthenics by the
group of high school girls were very
nicely done and the folk dances by
the same girls in costume brought
repeated applause.
Mrs. Clara Haukins, as chairman of
the program committee, read the pro-
gram as prepared for next year. The
club has the prospect of delightful
year in carrying out the program as
planned.
Mrs. Haukins also had the paper
for the afternoon on the subject,
"Races of Europe" In spite of hav-
ing a very broad topic, which had to
be much condensed, Mrs. Haukins
made the subject very interesting. If
history could always be as entertain
ing, many would have learned more
of it.
Mrs. Julia Walsh, as chairman of
the committee, then presented to the
club the flag recently purchased, and
Mrs. Watson read short article on
Flag Etiquette.

MICHIGAN ORCHARDS
MENACED BY SCALE

East Lansing, March 29.-That
San Jose scale is still quite prevalent
in Michigan orchards, in spite of the
belief of many growers that scale is
about cleaned up in the state, it the
opinion of Prof. c. P. Halligan, head
of the horticultural department at M.
A. C. Samples coming into the col
lege from all parts of the state show
that there is need for spray treat
ment to control this orchard pest.
"A dormant spray for apples should
me made now, before the leaf buds
open," says Professor Halligan. eve
recommend lime-sulphur solution
for this work.
"The unusually cold winter two
years ago reduced scale considerably
in Michigan, and it was not bad last
year. For this reason many growers
have reached the conclusion that it is
no longer necessary to watch their
spraying closely. To overlook spray
ing now, however, would be serious
mistake. Scale is still prevalent, and
it is important that growers make a
dormant spray as preventive meas
ure, in order to hold it in check"
Plums, peaches, and pears should
also be sprayed for scale. Full in
formation on spraying may be OBJ
tanned by writing to R. S. Shaw, Di-
rector Experiment Station, East Ian
sing, for Bulletin No. SO, "Spray and
Practice outline for Fruit Growers"
