At the present time great many people are leav.
ing the farms and going to the city The attractive pow.
drawing them from the farms the reported high
wages The inevitable result of such condition will
be shortage of food supplies and corresponding in.
of prices There will be to feed but fewer
people aborng in the fields raising food products
1t is we'll to remember that when there is any
shortage of the necessities of life the price advan
out of proportion to the shortage Hence it is al
most certainty that farm products going to be
usually high for considerable period of time At the
time many leaving the farms and so many
farms being disposed of that the price of farm lands
not advancing rapidly. Thus a situation is
ated which makes farm excellent investment.
Under period of high prices is easy to pay for such
farm and if period of depression farm is
excellent thing to hold and to fall back Any
who farm has independent means of ex.
istance and survive in spite of prohbitive prices
strikes or business stagnation.

WHELMS BOYNE CITY
Baseball Team Wins One. Sided
Game In Neighboring City
Last Friday.

The East Jordan High School base
ball team found the Boyne City High
School team easy picking on last Friday
afternoon in game that was rather
one-sided, the local boys winning 18 to
8. The local team was represented
principally by John Gunderson, who
proceeded to strike out % Boyne City
players in the course of an afternoons
pastime.
During the latter portion of the game
he eased up bit and permitted husky
youths from our neighboring city to
smite the ball on four different occa-
sions, to regions where the outfield
were not But aside from this the most
the Boyne batters we're able to do was
to stir up the air.
The East Jordan High School team
outside Of the pitcher and two or three
other players isn't to brag about. They
need experience, seasoning and pep.
They still have hard schedule and if
the players round into form as they
ought they will be able to come out VIC
torious. Otherwise il may be necessary
for Gunderson to strike out the whole
q men in order to win ball game.
Boyne plays return game at East

The township unit would do away
with all district boundary lines making

solidated school, except with the con.
sent Of the school electors at later

equalize the tax rate throughout the
entire township; lessen the expense Of

the township in shape for any further
movements that may be desirable.
