PLANS FOR
M. A. C.. SUMMER TERM
Special Work for Rural Teachers
Featured-COurses from June
21 to July 30

Plans for the Summer School at
the Michigan Agricultural College
which were announced from the
office of Director E. II. Ryder this
week call for the most complete
course of studies ever offered at
the state school during a summer
term. The school this year is to
run for six weeks, from June 21
to July 30.
Courses especially planned for
rural teachers; physical training
work to prepare leaders to meet
the new requirements for trained
instructors in cities over 10000;
general courses in applied scien-
ces, English and economies; and
special conferences in different
lines of work will feature the
work of the school.
Inquiries already received at
the directors Office indicate a
very heavy enrolment for the
summer work. The unprecedent-
ed demand for teachers, extension
workers, and rural life leaders Of
all kinds is said to be responsible
for the large call for summer
courses.

"The Wheel of Fortune"

A remarkable program will be
carried out at the Church of
Christ Sunday night when Evan
gelist Ernest House breaches his
unique sermon, "The Wheel of
Fortune" and illustrates it by a
special invention of his own. The
wheel of Fortune" is large,
sure enough fortune wheel, and
will be on the platform during the
service and anyone who cares to
do so will be permitted to play
the wheel. The evangelist has an
nounced that the timid ones will
not be embarrassed, as only those
who show a desire to come to the
platform will be asked to do so.
'The Wheel of Fortune. sermon
will be preached at 800 o'clock
on Sunday night.

LET'S GET TOGETHER

In reading papers from our
neighboring towns we have no.
ticed articles to the effect that one
or another of the towns which the
papers represent had landed
a new industry or the enterpris-
ing citizens were out raising bon
uses for the purpose of getting
something to come their way.
Eic. mond citizens in three hours
raised the bonus of $4,000 nee
essary to secure for that town a
foundry that will employ many
men. Brown City citizens and bus
iness men are out after $4,000 to
insure them a big industry. Vas
sar has large foundry making
auto parts, and there is no reason
in the world why Yale can't get
in the game.
Of course we have these other
places beat a mile with our WOOL
en- mills, our canning factory and
fax mills, but there is no reason
why we cannot get some addition
al enterprises.
Let's get together and talk it
over. That won't cost much-and
we'll bet that a little team work
among our citizens and business
men can land something good for
"the best town in the Thumb"

CHURCHES PLAN GREAT
MOVEMENTS IN THEIR
CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS

Americans who think coal is
high should take a trip to Alaska,
At Point Barrow, the northern
most mission in the world, is op-
Grated by the Presbyterian church
and the people there would be
surprised if they could buy coal
as cheaply as we do here in this
country.
At that remote place they pay
$120 a ton which in Seattle costs
only $40 a ton. The freight
charges, the difficulties of trans
portation, hazard of travel and
other causes enter into the high
cost of everything in Alaska.
. The church has set aside $780,
900 for various projects for Alas
ka, among the number being the
erection of a hospital at Point
Barrow. A medical institution of
this kind is badly needed, only a
small dispensary there at the pres
ent time in charge of a medical
missionary. The work in Alaska
is only part of the greatly enlarg-
ed program both at home and
abroad being carried forward un-
der the 1920-21 New Era $23, ,000,.

A CLEANUP CAMPAIGN

The children of New York city
have recently been mobolized in
an effort to keep the streets clean
from litter. Block captains are
appointed, usually a high school
girl or boy, who generally belongs
to the Camp Fire Girls or the
Boy Scouts. each to take charge
of block or street. 1t is the duty
of a captain to see that her or his
block lives up to the rules that
their organization has establish
ed.
The very handsomest town may
spoil its appearance by keeping
its streets Uttered up. Many peo-
pie are carelessly throwing away
paper bags and other waste.
Organizing the children against
litter will serve two purposes. 1t
will help them grow up with the
feeling that the streets should
be kept as clean as one would
keep a nice home. And also they
can be encouraged to pick up a
scrap of paper wherever they see
it. Yale has the reputation of
being a good town, morally, and it
would add to it's credit if we had
more civic enthusiasm.
The average town in April looks
like the man who spent The night
in an overcrowded sleeping car,
with no chance at the wash room.
The householder has something
to do on these lovely April days
besides listening to the sweet
song birds and drinking in the
morning balmv airs. Let him be
influenced by the industry of our
feathered songs.ers and do like
wise. There is nothing that will
take away that bad taste in the
mouth and REEVE that rheumatic
feeling like a two hours exercise
at the end of a rake or hoe before
breakfast.
Some people clean up by re-
moving rubbish from the front to
the rear A lot argue that if they
id straighten nr it would just get
dirty again. Some excuse them
selves by saying their religion
and their fron. yards are just as
good as their nelghbors' Mighty

cleanliness.

Sugar Takes Long Trip

Saginaw, Mich, April 27-Fed-
eral authorities have become in
terested in an alleged violation of
the Lever act involving about
100000 pounds of sugar which it
is found was bought from retail
ers and eventually made its way
back to Saginaw wholesalers,
bringing thousands of dollars
profit to individuals who are not
regularly engaged in the jobbing,
wholesaling or retailing of such
commodity.
The trail begins in Saginaw and
Bay City, branches off to Chicago
and Jonesboro. Ark. and leads
back to Saginaw again.
The man who bought the sugar
picked it up during the last three
weeks at from 1872 to 201a cents
pound. He offered it to a local
house for 25 cts. and they bought
it and found some Of it at least
had been bought from them. A car
load had been stored in a Saginaw
produce house. The sugar was
bought up through grocers. Luther
Ellison. of Jonesboro. Ark. sold
the lot and several Bay City men
were in with him. After he had
sold he attempted to buy it back
at 26c, but was refused.

News Items From Our
NeighbOring Cities
SPRING TONES

With the honk of the wild geese
flying northward, the patent med
icine and home remedy manufac-
turers seem to be inspired anew,
and there follows wave of
spring tonic advertisements.
The tonics which the vast ma
iority of individuals need at this
period of the year are fresh air,
exercise and a simpler diet. Owing
to weather conditions many of
our activities are restricted in the
winter time. There is also a ten
dency to eat excessively of meat
and fatty foods. AS result, when
spring arrives with it's warm days
many of us are like furnaces so
choked with fuel they don't draw
well.
You cannot buy relief from
these conditions at dollar a bot
tie. Medicine will not compensate
for over-eating and under-exer-
else. The high death rate which
invariably prevails at this season
of the year from pneumonia, tub
erculosis and other respiratory
diseases, is largely due to the re-
duced physical resistance of indi-
viduals which makes them partic-
ularly sensitive when the sudden
changes of temperature occur in
cident to the season. Old people
are particularly susceptible as
they are housed more closely dur
ing the winter time than young
folks.
Let your spring tonic prescrip-
tion read something as follows:
1. Eat meat but once day and
sparingly.
2. Those not under the doctors
care should drink a glass of water
before retiring for the night and
another an hour before breakfast.
8. Get all the fresh air possible.
4. Sleep with your windows
open.
5. See that your clothing is suit
able and heavy enough to protect
you against sudden changes of
the weather.
6. Walk five or six miles a day
in the open air.

High Costs Force Farmers to In
crease Per Acre Production
Cropping Plans Changed

The unprecedented shortage OF
farm labor and the extremely high
prices which must be paid to hold
help of any kind are forcing a
great many Michigan farmers
to change their cropping plans
in order to get bigger yields from
fewer acres, declares Prof. j. f.
Box, head of the Farm Crops De-
partment at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College.
MANY farmers are planning to
plant only as large acreage of cul-
tivated crops as they and their
families can handle alone, with
out depending greatly on outside
help" says Professor Cox. There
will be a much greater acreage IN
small grains, which are machine
handled crops, and a much more
extensive acreage in clover, al
falfa and timothy than has been
the case for a number of years.
More per acre is needed to off
set the increased labor cost. Fixed
costs, such as interest on land,
cost of plowing, cultivation, etc.,
are much the same for a small
crop as for a large crop. Under
present conditions, a smaller acre
age of cultivated crops, farmed
in the most efficient manner, is the
most practical way of meeting the
labor situation.
early and thorough prepara-
ton of the seed bed will greatly
lessen later cost of cultivation.
The use of high yielding varieties
will also give added return with
out extra cost. Commercial ferti-
lizers, properly used, are another
means of increasing yield per
acre with but little increase in
labor.
Under conditions where it is
impossible, owing to labor condi-
tions, to farm the usual acreage,
a special effort should be made to
seed down to clover, alfalfa or
pasture grasses. More land can be
handled by grazing than where it
is in grain or cultivated crops.
1t is also possible to handle a much
larger amount of corn and a
greater number of live stock by
hogging off corn or pasturing
with hogs or sheep in the field.
Arrangements should also be
made at an early date for proper
fencing"

ADVENTURES OF GRANDPA

Talk about the Adventures of
Grandpa" We should say all the
talk is about the adventurous
members of the Senior class of
Yale high school, who gave the
much talked of Senior play last
Thursday evening in the Audi
torium.
One of the class said to us, "you
want to tell the people that that
was the best Senior play ever put
on, or over, in Yale" and we are
going to say it, too. 1t was, or at
least, we may qualify a bit and
say that it was the kind of a play
that people enjoy if done we'll,
and this was done well, exceed
ingly we'll, every part taken by the
one who could act it the best,
every part a good one and every
actor a good one.
What more can we say A
good many of our readers were
there to hear it themselves and
those who were not should have
been, as they missed a splendid
opportunity for a long, hearty
laugh.
The two specialties were given
by little Miss Little, who gave a
fine exhibition of fancy dancing.
The school orchestra rendered the
best of music, as usual, and re-
ceived their share Of applause.

the hit of the season, and we are
glad to congratulate all concern
ed. The proceeds amounted to

Let The Good Work Go On

In these days of unrest in the
country's great industrial centers
there has come an awakening to
the fact that sufficient attention
has not been given to Christian
izing and Americanizing the mil
lions of foreign birth, especially
srom southeastern Europe, who
have made America their home.
The United States has often been
spoken of as the melting pot" in
which men from all races from
all the world are transformed in
TO good Americans. Now, however
it has become startlingly clear
that the melting pot process has
to vast extent been failing to
operate.
Many good agencies in differ
ent parts of the country are, how
ever, doing splendid work in this
direction, one of the best being
the Moody Bible Institute of
Chicago. Recently when the men
of the student body were called on
for a representative of each nat
ionality for group picture, it was
found that they included twenty
four different nationalities, as
follows: Syrian, Japanese, Fin
nish, Armenian, German Bohemian
Norwegian, Danish, French, Amer
lean Negro, Dutch, Russian, Eng
lish, Scotch, Irish, Italian, Czecho-
Slovak Bohemian. Porto Rican,
German. Swede and American.
All these men, together with
their fellow students in the Insti-
tute, totalling about 800 in the
Day Glasses and 700 in the Even.
ing Glasses, are preaching and
teaching and doing visitation
work in connection with their
studies, among the people of Chi
cago of their own nationalities,
and preparing to continue the good
work either in this country OF
abroad.

THE PRINTERS BUG-BEAR

Errors are the printers bug
bear and we find them in even the
highest grade of commercial and
literary printing. We find them
daily in the great metropolitan
newspapers and magazines and
even the finland Printer" the per-
fection of the printers art. is not
free from them. But when a typo
graphical error appears in the To-
cal paper-oh, horrors Every
body in town grabs the paper
and hastens to exhibit the error
to all those with whom they come
in contact. The fact is, errors
are quite common in the printing
business. A few years ago a SIM
pie error in the government print
ing Office at Washington cost
$2,000,000.
1t was all due to a misplaced
comma.
The copy of a particular tariff
bill provided that foreign fruit
plants, etc." were to be admitted
free of duty, the idea being to en-
courage the culture Of high-grade
varieties of fruit trees and
grapevines in this country.
When the bill was printed, "for-
eign fruit plants, etc." read "for-
eign fruit, plants, etc." and as a
result oranges, grapes, lemons,
bananas, etc., came into the United
States free of duty for one year.
The error cost the government
just about two million dollars in
revenue.
