STATE REPRESENTED
WELL AT BIG SHOW

Michigan agriculture will be well
represented at the big International
Hay and Grain Show which is to be
held at Chicago Nov. q to Dec. 4, in
connection with the international Live
stock Exposition. A complete educa-
tional exhibit of Michigan crops, 200
entries of ANAL grains alone from farm
ers of the state, and the honor of fur
nishing one of the. grain judges are
among the things which will give Mich
igan prominent place in activities of
this years show.
Remarkable development which has
been made in Michigan along the line
of introduction and distribution of i'm
proved crops varieties will feature the
state exhibit, which is being prepared
by the Michigan Agricultural College.
The exhibit will show three units OF the
advanced work being done in the state
along this line:-1., The development
of improved varieties by the Crops De-
partment at the college; g, The increase
of the varieties by the Michigan Crop
Improvement Association; and g., The
assistance in marketing given by the
Seed Department of the State Farm
Bureau.
In response to request made of the
Crops Department at the College, Prof.
A. L. Bibbins has been nominated to
represent Michigan as one of the grain
judges at the big show. The judges
will be faced with the task of placing
from 80 to so premiums in all grain
classes, including thousands of entries
from all States in the Union and Canada.
Professor Bibbins has charge of instruc-
ton in grain judging at M. A. C.
The Michigan Agricultural College
will be represented at the international

School Question
Comes Up Again
Public School Defense League
Submits New Form

Attempts to abolish parochial and
private schools will be renewed at once.
The Public School Defense league has
submitted to Secretary of State Waugh
an the form of the petitions for the
submission of constitutional amend
ment to be submitted at the state elec-
tion in November, 1922.
The new proposed amendment diff
fers slightly in form from that which
was defeated Nov. 2. 1t has no linn
itation requiring children to attend a
public school in the district in which
they reside, thus providing for attend
ance at high schools or other public
schools outside the district of residence;
the word normal" is inserted before
children" thus avoiding the blanket
requirement that all children must at
tend. This permits blind, deaf, dumb
and mentally defective children to be
provided for outside the regular school
system. The new amendment also
given fourteen months for preparation
before it becomes effective, the date of
taking effect being made January l.,
1924.
A meeting of workers from all parts
of the state will be held in Detroit,
january /, and in the g. A. r. hall,
at which complete program for the
campaign will be planned. The Pc
tition has been sent to the secretary of
state for formal ruling as to the cor
rectness of form.

RURAL SCHOOLS GET
PLAYGROUND SUPPLIES

Under the direction of Mr.. Rowe,
Director of Physical Training for the
State of Michigan, the Boxing Commits
sion has sent to the County Commits
sioner OF Schools, Miss Stewart, three
boxes of playground apparatus for the
rural schools of the county. Two of
the boxes contain bats, and one large
box contains official playground balls
and basket balls. There will be at
least one good ball for each school, and
bat to accompany it. What is best
yet, we hope for more some time in the
future. II this can become an annual
feature, the boys and girls may become
well supplied with game material for
the leisure hours that are in some
schools so idly spent.
Teachers requests last year ranged
all the way from giant strides, and
swings, or slides, to balls or rackets.
In the meantime, because OF the long
delay in receipt of the material, a few
OF the schools already have swings,
several have balls and one or two have
croquet sets. Several schools are al
ready assured of clean, happy recess
periods without the use of the useless,
and irritating don't and "Thou shalt
not's" of the old school of pedagogy
The new supply of material just re-
ceived from the Boxing Commission
will encourage the teachers and par.
ents OF these districts and will furnish
an incentive to others.

THE TARIFF AND
THE DEMAND
FOR LABOR

"While the Democratic party and
Democratic laws are still guiding the
affairs of the nation, wages are COM
ing down." declares the Republican
Publicity Association, through its Pres
ident, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
During the war, MIR. Gompers de-
clared that labor would never consent
to reduction of the wartime STAN
dards. The Republican Publicity AS.
sociation assured Mr.. Gompers that the
Republican party would be glad to CO.
operate in an effort to maintain high
standards for laboring people, and as
serted that the most effective method
yet devised is the protective tariff pol
icy which protects the American work.
men from destructive competition with
low standards abroad. Mr.. Gompers
chose to throw what influence he had
to the Democratic candidates.
''Not even a protective tariff could
sustain the high scale of wages reached
during the war, but only protective
tariff will prevent the domination of
the American market by foreign pro-
ducts. 1t may be year or more before
Europe and Asia get into their full
stride of production for export, but ul-
timately the American market will be
flooded unless reasonably high bar
rier is erected in the form of protective
| duties.
"Time will demonstrate that the Re.
publican party is the best friend of la
bor-of all labor, not union labor,
merely-and that the protective prin-
ciple is essential for American indust-
rial prosperity. The war produced an
effect equivalent to that OF prohibitive
tariff, and more. 1t not only shut off
imports but it created a new and un.
precedented market for American
goods. The Republican party does not
advocate prohibitive tariff, but mere
ly one that represents at least the diff.
ference in cost of production here and
abroad, making ample allowance for
the higher standards of living we wish
American workmen to enjoy.
'In the readjustment movement now
in progress, not all of the decline is
due to the ending of the war. The
Democratic Administration fostered in
flation and now it is unintellipently
forcing deflation. That is one of the
chief causes of the slump. Then, agair
during the period of initiation, people
bought recklessly and created abnor
NAL demands for goods and for labor
that produces goods. Coincident with
the deflation process, consumers have
gone on a strike and will buy only
necessaries, thus causing lack of de
mand for goods and corresponding de
cline in demand for labor. If, wher
the demand for goods returns to nor
NAL, we find the demand supplied from
Europe and Asia, there will be no re
turn OF demand for American labor
AS matter Of wise precaution, there
fore, an early return to a protective
system is highly important.

SOME FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Washington, Nov. 23.-"Do you
know" asks the Republican Publicity
Association in an article issued today
through the president of the organiza-
ton, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr, "that
the entire national debt OF your gov
ernment is approximately 1000, ,000,-
600, and that approximately $10,000,-
OOO, 900 of that sum represents loans to
foreign governments;
THAT those loans are evidenced in
the treasury by demand notes, bearing
interest at per cent, signed by the
Representatives of the foreign govern
ments;
"That those demand notes contain
provision as follows: This certificate
will be converted by the Government
of name of foreign government), ii re-
quested by the Secretary of the Treas
ury of the United States of America at
par with an adjustment of accrued in
terest into an equal par amount of
(rate per cent per cent convertible
gold bonds of the Government of
name of foreign governmenO';
THAT in spite OF that provision, and
in spite of the fact that the first loan
was made on April 25, 1917, 43 months
ago, no conversion or adjustment of
accrued interest haa been made, al
though for many months the Wilson
Administration says it has been carry
ing on discussions with debtor coun-
tries to that end;
THAT, further, in spite of that prov
ision, there is well grounded senti-
ment in England that our loans abroad
do not really constitute a debt at all,
but should be cancelled es'part CT An
erica's contribution to the cost of the
war, sentiment that is gaining strength
the longer the conversion of notes into
bonds is deferred;
THAT up to the end of the calendar
year 1920 interest will have accrued on
foreign loans to the amount of approx.
imately 81, zoo, 100000
''That of that sum there had been
paid up to March 13, 1920, according tc
an official report from the Secretary oi
the Treasury, the sum of $433, 600, 600
That probably little, if any, interest has
been paid since that date, it being the
announced purpose of the Secretary &c
defer the collection of interest during
the reconstruction period of two OF
three years from the spring of 1919;'
"That pending the Treasury discus
sions, and during the period of defer
ment, the American people are being
taxed the full amount of the interes
which foreign governments have no
in order to meet the payment of inter

Bonds.

Olds Backed
Boyne Railroad
His $45O.OO0 Saved Boyne City.
Alpena 4 Gaylord Line

|
whose cash was the magic key that re-
leased from receivership in 1917 the
Boyue City, Gaylord G Alpena railroad,
and has made possible its operation to
this day, was Ransom E. Olds, the auto
mobile financier, jury in the Alpena
circuit court was told Thursday by
George E. Nichols, of Ionia, defending
the railroad in 100000 contract suit
brought by |. S. Garfield, F. H. Orcutt
and w. T. Hoey, of Alpena.
Olds put up $450,0O0 that the road
might be rescued from receivership into
which it was plunged in November,
1913, Attorney Nichols told the jury.
All this the defense expects to prove,
it said, during its inning in the trial oc-
cupying the attention of Judge Emmer-
ick, jury, and costly array of legal
talent. The trial already has been in
progress more than week, and pre-
dictions were it would not end Friday.
The road originally was a spur to a
lumber camp. William H. White G Co.,
OF Boyne City, had extensive lumber
holdings there, about which this road
reached. The brothers were William
H., Thomas, James, and Robert White.
When the road was projected in 1905,
bond issue of $3.50, 900 was negotiated,
which was partly sold. Later it was
decided to extend it to Gaylord, where
upon the Whites advanced the road
$160, 900 more. The road continued ex.
panding until 1915, when it owed
White G. Co. 1926, 900. The story of its
extension to Alpena in 1919 was recited
in full.
In November, 1913, James A. White
made application in the district federal
court for receiver, both for the rail-
road and William H. White & Co.,
which was granted, the Michigan Trust
company, of Grand Rapids being named,
receiver. Up to that time stock had
been. issued in the William H. White &
Co. in the sum of $1,000, 900, of which
81, 10000 was owned by the White
brothers. And 100000 in stock and
bonds had been issued by the railroad,
OF which the White brothers owned a
majority.
In 1915, William H. White came to
Alpena, Attorney Nichols related with
the idea of enlisting the aid of Garfield
and Attorney Orcutt, banker; Hoey,
a lumberman, in the raising of $780,
600 with which to rescue the two COM
panies from receivership, for which
service he was willing to pay 100000.
Then it was that the contract, which is
the basis of this suit, was entered into.
From August, 1915, until early in
1917, various attempts were made by
the trio, the White brothers, and others
TO finance the road, it was declared.
All sorts of combinations were devised
and each time success seemed about to
smile on the plan, frown appeared,
usually opposition of the receiver. At
least, several distinct attempts were
claimed by the defense.
Finally Claude Hamilton was brought
into the financial problem, and it was
he who went to Ransom E. Olds and
borrowed $3.50, O,0OO as claimed by the
defence, of which smount $275, 600 was
used in putting the road on its feet.
The Alpena stockholders, partly
through the efforts of Garfield, Orcutt
and Hoey were induced to take the
paper of the new company, par for par,
while William H. White G Co. did like
wise, said Nichols.

Amundsen Claims His
 Name Was Forged

The hearing of the case of Rabbit Bros. Trading'Co. vs. J. s. Amundsen, of Kingman, as surviving partner of the partnership of himself and the late George Rabbit, is being heard here this week. Judge A. s. Gibbons, of St. Johns, presiding, plaintiffs represented by Crable, and defendant by Henderson Stockton, of Phoenix and Harben 6 Gold, of this city,
 Milton Carlson, of Los Angeles, the celebrated handwriting expert, is one of the witnesses in the case, arriving on Monday. The defense will produce him probably today in their attack on the authencity of signature, pur- porting to be MT. Amundsen's.
 Babbitt Bros. sue for $8. 100, claimed to be due from the partnership on an open account alleged to have been run by the partnership during the lifetime of George Babbitt.
 MT. Amundsen does not deny the ac- count, pleading the statue of limitations. Plaintiffs placed in evidence a written instrument which they will claim tolls the statute of limitations, purporiing to have been signed by MT. Amundsen. The latter on the stand yesterday swore that signature was not his. P. J. Mor- an, witness for the. plaintiffs, admitted under crossexamination that the sigma ture differed from Amundsen's usual signature. Carlson, it is said, holds that the signature is forgery and will so testify today. y.-Coconino Sun.
