Doctor Coon Explains Why
 Garbage Costs Increase

Doctor w. H. Coon efficient head of Bridgeport health department. thinks that he will bel able to reduce garbage at a cost that will compare with similar charges in other cities. He points out some of the factors that have produced the s65, 900 deficit in the department of garbage reduction, such as higher eoal higher labor, and no market for grease and fertilizer.
 Doctor Coon suggests that the plant was acquired from a private owner at a price materially lower than that set upon it bv competent and disinterested appraisers"
 Since Doctor Coon was not in of fee when this transaction occurred, he naturally does not refer to the circumstance that the private in- dividual referred to. had a contract

with the city which did not expire until Tuesday, November 16, and that this person had no obligation to pay the high prices of coal, and the other high prices.
 Doctor Coon does not know, and does not attempt to tell by the city relieved private. persons of a contract obligation, paying more than $225,- 900 for the privilege.
 Ordinary business prudence would suggest that if the plant was to be purchased, the purchase should have been deferred until the contract ex- pired.

ILLUMINATING INCIDENT

Recently Governor Cox and party
of his friends, returning from Wheel
ing, w. Va, in motor cars, were halted
by a rural Ohio officer for speeding.
Great indignation was expressed that
the governor of Ohio should be subject
ed to such an affront on Ohio soil, aud
a republican "plot" to humiiate him
was suspected until it developed that
the constable was democrat.
The governor was impatient under
detention, the party sneered at the
officers attempt to put them under
arrest, and Mr.. Cox curtly notified him
who he was, and that he could be found
at the State House. Then they drove
on with rush.
This seems to be one Of those minor
incidents which reveal what a man is
under his skin. There was no claim
made at the time or since that the car
was not going at excessive and unlaw-
full speed, or that the conatable was
not performing his sworn duty. His
offence consisted in applying the law
to the governor OF his state. That was

SOIL SURVEY SHOWS
MICH. LANDS FERTILE

That certain soils of the Saginaw Val
ley and Thumb districts of Michigan
may be compared favorably with the
famous corn belt sections of Illinois and
other fertile regions, is the opinion OF
DIR. M. M. McCoOl, head of the soils de-
partment at the Michigan Agricultural
College.
The estimate of the fertility of these
state lands is based upon the findings
of soil survey of the lake bed area in
the Saginaw Valley and Thumb districts,
which has just been completed by DR..
McCool and Prof. G. M. Grantham of M.
A. c. The soils of the whole district
have been classified, mapped, and their
plantfood content determined by
means of chemical analysis.
"With the exception of the sand rid
ges and deep sandy deposits, the soils
of these areas are well supplied with
lime", says DR.. McCool. 'ln fact the
subsoils, ranging fnom IA to "a inches
from the surface, carry high per cent
of this valuable constituent, and the
surface soils are sweet in reaction.
Where drainage is adequate, all leg
umes thrive without the use of lime.
"For the staple crops grown on the
older farms, acid phosphate is needed,
and brings adequate returns on the in
vestment. The nitrogen content of the
heavier soils is high. Potash, with the
possible exception of sugar beets and
cabbage, is not needed.
"The sand ridges and sandy areas are
deficient in lime, nitrogen and phos-
phorous, and unless stable manure is
used complete fertilizers of high grade
are usually very profitable.
"The well drained loans, silt loans,
and clay loan soils of these areas COM
pare very favorably in fertility an pro-
ductivity with the famous corn belt
soils"

In the matter OF free attractions the

Van Husen and assisted by talent from
some of our neighboring cities, furnish
ed band music OF the better order

OF each day. Fishers Orchestra of Kali
amazoo furnished the orchestra music
in the afternoon and for the dances in
the evening. Fishers" is guarantee
of good music and they made good.
The fireworks shown Tuesday and
Thursday evenings were by far the best
ever exhibited in Northern Michigan
and brought forth hearty commenda-
tons from everyone in the big crowds
who witnessed the displays.
The "Six Morales" put on their pro-
gram OF free acts on the exhibition plat
form each afternoon and evening, and
proved themselves exceptionally good.

Killed In
r. r. Accident
Grover BIain Crushed Under
M. c. Way Car

Grover Blain of this city was instantly
killed Wednesday noon when Michi-
gan Central way car, on which he was
working, overturned, burying him be-
meath the car.
The accident took place three miles
west of Alba. A Michigan Central work
train in charge of Conductor Seymour
Burbank, engineer VIM. Boudrie, and
brakemen Kenneth Parks and Grover
Blain, and consisting of seven loaded
cars and the way car, was backing down
the grade to assist another train up the
hill.
Some cattle were on the track near
the Green River bridge and the train
was unable to stop before running into
the flock. Both MIR. Blain and Mr.. Bur-
bank were on the back platform, and,
seeing a collision was inevitable, each
jumped in a different direction. AS
they jumped the car struck the cattle
and overturned onto Mr.. Blain, break
ing his neck. The remains were
brought to his home here.
Grover Blain was aged about "a years.
He formerly worked at Alba for the
railroad on the section there, and about
five years ago came with his family to
East Jordan, where he continued in the
employ of the Company. He was a
member of the Railroad Trainmen's
Association. He leaves wife and five
small children.
Funeral services will be held this
Saturday afternoon at Alba.

Uncle George
To Carriers
Writes Greeting County Rural
Mail Carriers

AT recent meeting of the Rural Mail
Carriers of Charlevoix County, held at
Boyne City, the following letter from
Geo. III. VanPelt was read
My dear Brother Rural Mail Carriers:
Again | regret my not being able to
be with you in person but am in spirit.
1t is with great pleasure that send
you my best greetings and wishes for
successful meeting. The positions you
each mold in the counties in which. you
perform your daily duties are of much
greater importance than the average
citizen realizes. The people along your
line look for you daily whether it is 40
below or 100 above for they know that
you are on the road and will bring them
their letter from loved ones far away
as well as the daily newspaper with its
news Of the worlds doings. The regu-
larity and the fidelity with which you
perform yonr daily duties through mud,
slush or snow must of necessity endear
you to the patrons on your route, and
really to do ones duty faithfully and
cheerfully is about the most satisfactory
thing one can do.
Just think OF this and call your
friends attention to it, Blow it, talk it,
sing it, aud whoop it up. Say Uncle
George, what are you talking abont,
what do you meanP
Imean concrete roads, that's what
mean. Do not give your approval to
any other kind of road. Why boys,
you who were here four years ago all
remember the concrete road you went
over while here. Then that road was
six years old and not one dollar had
been spent on it. 1t was good then
and is as good now as it was when it was
new. The only expense this road has
been to us for the entire ten years has
been for filling the cracks with tar. In
other words the up-keep per mile is
only one dollar and forty cents per year.
Can you beat it? Never, not on your
life. Now, il any of your old fossils
talk differently it is because they want
to keep their jobs for themselves or
friends, making either gravel or soft
stuff roads that have to be made over
or repaired every year. Such men are
barnacles on the county in which they
live, and are very expensive PROPOSE
tons. They should have no place on
the payroll Of any county.
Yours with much love,
Uncle George H. VanPeli

an insolent and unwarranted interfer-
ence with the plans Of a man whose
subsequent conduct demonstrated that
he was, in his own judgment, above
and beyond the reach of the Ohio sta
tute against fast driving.
We may be in error, but it occurs to
us that Governor Cox, as a candidate
for the presidency, lost great oppor-
tunity. Suppose he had talked to the
constable, while the newspaper man Of
the party took down his words as fol-
lows:
! compliment you on your strict and
impartial enforcement of the law.
While am governor of Ohio, ! am sub
ject to the law exactly as other citizens.
| want no special consideration. We
were driving too fast and | will gladly
remit to you whatever fine may be as
sessed. Our country needs training in
respect for law. These gentlemen will
join me in best wishes to you as a shin
ing example of the fidelity and watch
fullness of even the humblest officials
in Ohio whose duty it is to keep our
great highways safe for travel.
Bnt Governor Cox is not that kind of
a man. Having rebuked and shamed
an officer for having dared to attempt
an enforcement OF law upon his. exalt-
ed person, he and his party sped of
fuming over the ''indignity" they had
been subjected to by a Chick con-
stable -

CHARLEVOIX CO. FAIR
THE GREATEST EVER
in IT'S HISTORY
BUMPER EXHIBITS IN EVERY DEPARTMENT
EXCELLENT ATTRACTIONS. AND
HUGE CROWDS.

II the business slogan, "a satisfied
customer is the best asset" holds good
then the 1920 Charlevoix County Fair
has established for itself most envi-
able reputation. For never before in
its history have the exhibits been as
complete or excellent as those shown
this year. Never Before have the free
attractions and entertainment approach
ed those given this year, and never
before has there been quite the un-
amimous opinion among the thousands
OF visitors that they were more than
well repaid for the time spent and for
/ the money they expended in attending.
With the Fair just closing it is i'm
possible to enumerate the many fine
exhibits in every department. This
we hope to do on later date. Every
division was filled to overflow-for the
first time the Association ran short of
entry tags and premium tickets. The
Oranges came strong with most excel
lent exhibits of fruits and vegetables,
and the individual exhibits were many
and good. The live stock was by far
the best ever shown on the grounds,
the cattle exhibit being particularly
good. The cattle barn was crowded
and an additional space required in
other barns. The Loeb Farm exhibit
in their own building was one of the
big attractions, every Fair visitor makes
il point to see this fine showing of
blooded stock.
In the Educational building both city
and country schools WED with each
other to excel in fine displays and as
result this division was filled to over
flowing with most commendable work
vof Charlevoix County School Pupils.

Why Frankfurt.

King Carl the Great (Charlemagne)
was once defeated by the SaxOns, and
fed with his Franks to the Main. But
they could find no fording place by
which to escape the pursuit Of their
enemies. Suddenly a cart appeared
and made for a spot where II crossed
easily, thus showing the Franks
where the river was fordable. SO
they came across the Main, and the
place has ever since been called
frankfurt" (the ford of the Franks).

WHEAT VARIETIES SHOW
BIG YIELD DIFFERENCE

A wide difference in yielding ability
of Michigan wheat varieties, with few
standing out head and shoulders over
the rest in productiveness, is shown by
the results OF over-state variety tests
carried out during the past year by the
farm crops department at the Michigan
Agricultural College.
The two leaders, according to aver
age results of tests in Branch, Monroe,
Van Buren, and Wayne Counties, are
New Fultz and Red Rock. These vari-
eties averaged approximately twenty
bushels to the acre, as compared with
such yields as sixteen and one-half
bushels for American Banner; fifteen
and one-half bushels for No. Junior;
and fourteen and one-half for Lancas-
ter and Kanred. There were fifteen
varieties in this series of tests, with
some of the average running as low as
ten and fraction bushels.
Other tests run in Saginaw, st. Clair,
and Tuscola Counties give Egyptian,
Berkely, and Red Rock the lead, out of
eleven varieties planted.
Importance of selecting leading vari-
eties for this seasons planting is
shown by these tests, and wheat grow.

effort to secure seed from them. The
