PROSPECTUS OF
CANNING FACTORY
FOR EAST JORDAN

For several years canning factory has been consld
cred as necessity for the agricultural development of
the territory surrounding East Jordan The fact that
fruits and vegetables used in canning factory grow in
such abundance in this vicinity requires market close
hand which take of large quantity of these
products canning factory will do this and will give
the farmers early market for cash crops The result
will be found in increase in the value of farm lands
now under cultivation and in extension of the cult
waited of tributary lands
At the present time there tendency for people to
queny there is and there will continue to be food
shortage. The demand for canned goods is rapidly in
creasng and will continue to increase time goes bly,
Thus canning factory located at East Jordan will be
founded upon the natural resources of the locality and is
an industry whose product will always be in demand.
The East Jordan Board of Trade, after careful
of the situation has decided the following plan:
To organize at once company to build and operate
canning factory to be ready for the 1920 crop This
pany is to be capitalized at $4,000, consisting of $50
shares of stock par value $780, 1t is proposed
construct building 60 feet wide and It's feet long
and to install complete modern machinery for canning
co BEANS vegetables and fruits 1t is estimated that
this building will cost not than $4,000, the ma
chnery $30000 and $4,000 will be required for operat
ing expenses This will require but $5OOOO so that it
not necessary to sell but this amount of stock at the pres
ent time. The remaining stock will be sold at later
period as necessity requires for enlargng the business
This stock is to be offered for sale to the citizens of
East Jordan and surrounding country at par-1O per
cent cash at time of purchase 20 per cent month for
three month sand 30 per cent the fourth month.
1t is proposed to elect competent business the
Board of Directors and employ manager and super
ntenden both of whom have had successful experience
in operating canning factories

East Jordan
Wins Debate
Defeats Kingsley, Making Their
Fourth Straight Victory.

East Jordan advanced one steA
nearer the Northern district cnam'
pionship in debating by defeating
Kingsley at that village last Friday
night. Kingsley had come out first
in a series of debates comprising
Kalkaska, Mancelona, Elk Rapids and
Kingsley. The debate was to have
been held at East Jordan but owing
to the ''flu" ban it was necessary to
transfer it. East Jordan took the
affirmative side and won unani-
nous decision. The team was COM
posed of Sherman White, Will DON
aldson, and Conrad Hughes. All &C.
Quilted themselves very commercially
as the record shows
This year the high school has two
teams, one for the affirmative and one
for the negative side of the question.
Both teams have won debates away
from home. Besides Kingsley, Boyne
City, Petoskey and Alpena have met
defeat.
The next debate is with Cheboygan
here on March 5th.- The local school
takes the affirmative.

JUNIOR RED CROSS IN RURAL
SCHOOLS

Almost every rural school in the
county is now member of the Jun.
ior Red Cross. They could join either
by application with payment of
money for local expenses and toward
European relief in war stricken coun.
tries or they could join by signing a
pledge Of home service and applying
in regular form. The schools that
have not yet joined are even now
making arrangements to do so and we
may again report our country one
hundred per cent.
While it is very likely that the Jun
ior Red Cross will not be maintained
by the county next year-the county
district schools do not believe in do
ing things by halves and the re-
sponse has been whole-hearted. Last
summer the rural schools turned over
to national relief in Central Division
over one hundred dollars. This year
as soon as funds are all in, sixty per
cent of the money will be igven to this
relief fund. The remainder stays in
the county for local relief and may. be
used for any one of a specified list
furnished by Central Division.

cow EATS SILK GOWNS
Case Is Settled Out Of Court by Pay.
ment Of $40

There Will be no lawsuit about the
cow that ate two silk dresses at Cal
verton, L. l., for the claim has been
compromised at $40, according to
statement made by Lawyer James T.
Walsh, which sum was paid by the
owner Of the COW to the father Of the
owner of the dresses.
This story started when II was said
Gus Brooks Of Calverton demanded
warrant for the arrest Of John Jaba-
lonsky's COW, which he wanted to
charge with eating two little silk
dresses belonging to his child. The
COW, It was claimed, deliberately wan
dered over to the Brooks clothesline
and was caught with the goods-that
is, she was seen to be calmly pulling
the dresses from the line and eating
them up. After the last Of the gar
ments disappeared-Mrs. Brooks was
rooted to the spot with surprise for
the time being--a demand for repara-
ton was made. John couldn't believe
that his COW would do so unladylike an
act, but when he was convinced she
had he settled the case by paying $40.

Government
Insurance
Surprising Offer by Government
to Ex-Service Men.

According to the provisions of the
Sweet bill, which mainly increased COM
pensation, ex-service men may renew
their insurance or convert it into regu-
lar policies at very low cost.
This insurance is now very attrac-
tive, for, the full amount is payable in
one lump sum, to your beneficiary, a
disability clause provides for holder to
receive insurance in case of disability,
and the premiums of converted insur-
ance are in all classes much lower than
other forms of insurance.
For instance providing you have not
been discharged more than IL months,
and wish to take 100000 in 20 pay-life
form, merely state that you are as well
as when discharged, pay one month
back premium on 100000 at your old
rate, approximately Csc, and the month
ly quarterly, semi. annual or annual
premium on 100000 So, to reinstate,
and pay years premium on 100000
70 pay Life your entire cost will be less
than $23.OO.
You may select the kind of insurance
that you wish, 20 pay Life, 80 pay Life,
Ordinary Life, 20, 80 year endowment
policies, and endowment at the age of
62.
If you have been discharged more
than IL months, doctors certificate is
necessary. If under that, merely your
word.
Never has insurance had such rela-
lively low premiums.
Mr.. Hammersburg, Insurance Officer
OF the Rebec-Sweet Post will be glad to
tell you OF the insurance at any time,
at the Peoples State Savings Bank.

THE LEvIATHAN NEARLY LOST

1t appears that agents Of the syn

former German ships were already on

over her as a sign Of ownership when
the Supreme Court of the District OF
Columia enjoined the sale. From all
the facts of the transaction that have

ing they wanted to give the fishermen
the benefit Of the discovery, they said.
The Vermilion gillnetter would not
listen to proposition to sell his idea,
nor would he talk Of royalty.
IF you can save some poor devils
life by using my style of boat, 60
ahead and use IT," he said.
The United Fisheries company Of
this city, one of the largest organiza-
tions Of its kind operating on Lake
Erie. recently completed the first Of
six gillnet tugs of the type designed
by Lampe, at a shipbuildlng plant in
this city. The other five are to be
ready to be commissioned at the be-
ginning Of the spring fishing season
Of 1920.
Safe a. Home.
Lampe christened his boat Victory,
for the reason that she Is believed to
have triumphed over the storm. With
a bow like that Of battleship, and a
body otherwise that resembles the
conventional pictures or N0ah's ark,
she has been successfully combating
the toughest seas that the Lake Erie
nor'easter has been able thus far to
kick up.
Victory is fifty-ive feet long, with
a fifteen foot beam. She is equipped
with two power plants, so that If one
should happen to "go bad" the other
will be available. Her upper works
are so. constructed that they can be
made almost water tight, and her hull
bears the weight required to right her
Immediately II she should happen to
turn over.
Il would as lief be sitting In the
cabin Of Victory as In my Office or my
home. no matter how severe the
Storm" said Charles F. Mischler, pres
ident Of the United Fisheries company,
discussing the new gillnetting craft.
Fishermen say that boats Of this
kind will, In the near future, replace
the old-time gillnetting tugs now In
use. and that big saving In life and
property will result.

NOAH'S ARK AS
MODEL FOR BOAT
Lake Erie Fisherman Had Faith
Enough in Idea to Build
One.
PROVED SAFE AS A HOUSE
Now the United Fishing Company Has
Built One and Will Build Five

Sandusky. O.-Ed. Lampe, fisher
man at vermilion. Lake Erie port
town twenty-five miles east of this
city, was reading a story about Noah's
ark to his children one night several
months ago, when II occurred to him
that were the craft of Noahs time res
urrected and mOdernized little 1t
might have a tendency to lessen the
toll that storms take annually In the
Great Lakes section.
Lampe is a gillnetter of many years
experience, and in the picture Of
Noah's ark that embellished the story
he was reading. he recognized wonder
full possibilities. The storms of the
Great Lakes section rage furiously In
spring, following the opening Of the
navigation season. and again In fall.
just before the season closes. Many
men lose their lives and much valu-
able property is destroyed.
The gillnetters, as those fishermen
who fish with gill nets are known,
are oftener the victims than are the
members of any other body of men
engaged in fishing; their work is more
hazardous. When disaster comes II Is
usually the gillnetters' boat, or tug"
that is destroyed.
A Real Success.
Lampe designed boat on the plan
Of Noah's ark With the aid Of sew
eral fishermen friends he brought his
design to naturalization. He tried the
craft out and II met every expectation.
II ploughed the most vicious biilows,
going out and returning when other
boats had to be kept in port.
Lampe's craft attracted the atten-
tion of the commercial fishing inter-
ests of the Lake Erie section and in
vestigators were sent TO vermIllon.

after Noah's ark that would lessen

IMPORTED CLOVER
SEED HELD UNSAFE
Michigan Grown Cheapest In
End, Says M. A. c.

East Lansing, March 1.-Clover
seed imported from abroad or from
other sections of the country is un
safe for Michigan planting, accord
ing to Prof. j. f. Cox, Head Of the
Farm Crops Department at the Mich
igan Agricultural College. The best
and really cheapest seed for Michi'
gan farmers is Michigan grown, pur-
chased from dependable local dealers
even though the cost looks high as
judged by past prices.
LAS never before, large out-of-the.
state seed companies are advertising
for sale in Michigan seed mixtures at
apparently attractive prices" says
Professor Cox. "In reality this seed
is usually of lower standard OF purity
and termination than that offered by
dependable local dealers, and IT may
cause great loss to Michigan farmers.
A warning against extensive seed
ing of Giant Incarnate or Crimson
clover is given farmers of the state.
This variety is adapted to sections
south of the Ohio River for fall
planting, but it will not live over
Michigan winters except when condi-
tions are extremely favorable. 1t is
not adapted to spring planting, ac-
cording to the NJ. A. G.. crops experts.
Information is reaching the col
lege to the effect that large ship
ments of clover are coming into the
\ nj oil
also is not adapted to Michigan con-
ditions.
Michigan grown seed of Red, AL
sike, or Mammoth clover is best for
Michigan conditions. Seed of these
varieties grown in other northern
states or in Canada is also acceptible.
The seeding recommended by the col
lege crops department for a mixed
hay is: four pounds of Red clover,
two pounds of Alsike clover, and
from two to four pounds of timothy.
"Alsike, though selling at approx
mately the same price as Red, will go
farther, owing to the smallness of the
seed," declares Professor Cox.
MANY who ordinarily plant eight or
ten pounds of Red clover to the acre
may find it economical to use four
pounds of Red and two of Alsike.
In sections where Red clover does
not catch well, due to lack of lime or
other unfavorable conditions, a mix.
ture of Red and Alsike will often give
better stands than Red alone.
Glover seed is scarce and high,
and every effort must be made to in
crease the production in Michigan.
Secretary A. NJ Brown, of the agri.
cultural college, himself a practical
farmer, makes the suggestion that ev.
cry farmer in the state buy at least
enough clover seed to plant a field to
furnish him with enough seed to plant
his entire clover acreage the next
year.
I'm view of the great shortage, and
the need for Michigan grown seed
we are urging that every effort be
made to plant as large areas as pos
sible of this important crop, and that
farmers make it a point to harvest as
much as possible for seed-purposes.
