COLLECT SHEAF SAMPLES
FOR FAIR EXHIBITS NOW

That sheaf samples of grasses and
grains which are to be eutered i'm fair
and grain show competition must be
selected at the right time if successful
specimens are to be collected, is the
statement sent out by A. L. Bibbons,
Secretary-Treasurer OF the Michigan
Crop Improvement Association.
"Collect clovers and vetches when in
blossom, says MIR. Bibbins, "alfalfa
when just beginning to bloom, and
timothy and other grasses when heads
are nearly ripe. Soy beans for forage
sheaves should be cut when the plants
are well podded but the beans immature
and the leaves still fresh. For sheaf
grain samples, pick out of your field
nice ripe heads and tall stalks OF oats,
barley, wheat, rye, or whatever grains
you may be growing, and allow to cure
under cover. For bundle of mature
soy beans select plants having large
number of uniform, mature pods"
Detailed information regarding pre-
paration of samples for exhibition may
be had by writing Mr.. Bibbons at East
Lansing.

How Mint Buys Gold.

The mint buys gold in any form,
whether coined or not, when presented
in sums to the value Of $50 or more.
The face value of coins Is not con-
sidered, only their weight and purity.
An equivalent amount Of lawful money
is given in exchange. Theoretically,
the gold is coined and handed back to
the owner without charge. In practice,
as a matter Of convenience and to
save time, the mint simply buys the
gold and pays its full coinage value
that is, what Il will be when coined.

Dollar Day
Grows Bigger
East Jordan Merchants Will Go
Limit on Bargains

Dollar Day, Sept. 1st, is assuming
larger proportions day by day. The
list of exceptional bargains makes q
veritable avalanche. This big day is
going to put East Jordan on the map as
the Real Bargain City of the North.
Nowadays dollar saved is two dollars
earned. Fart Jordan merchants have
gone the limit in offering bargains.
September the first will be the day of
the Big Opportunity.
But Big Bargains will not constitute
the only Happy Events OF the day.
The aeroplane will make ten flights at
least. The East Jordan Band will play
and in the evening there will be a
grand ball at the Armory with that
wonderful music which the East Jordan
Orchestra plays. AS rule saving
money is tough job, but when 1t is
Htombined with fun and pleasure it's an
event that is worth coming miles to
reap its rich rewards.
The Royal Welcome extends from
early in the morning until late at night
and includes old and young from near
and far Watch for later announce
ments.

Delight has been shown on the faces
of the Michigan old grads in Lansing
who are acquainted with the past his
tory of Wolverine football.
The cause-an announcement that
"Joe" Maddox is to be line coach of
football under Coach "Hurry-up" Yost
this fall.
"Joe" is dear to the memory of all true
Michigan rooters who worship his
whole 220 pounds of personality. In
1902 and 1903 "Joe" romped over the
PROSTATE forms of opposing guards and
tackles and was largely responsible for
Michigan's success in those seasons.
In 1901 Maddox played on Albion
college against Michigan and it was in
this game that he brought himself into
prominence at Ann Arbor as he was
the only consistent Albion ground
gamer though his team lost by so to 0
score.
In 1902 Maddox entered Michigan
and that fall played on the team that
won all of their II games and piled up
total score of GA to their opponents
IL. In 1903 the same performance was
practically duplicated and Michigan
scored 565 points to the opponents 6.
During these two years Michigan
triumphed over M. A. C. 119 to 0, over
Chicago 81 and % to 0, over Iowa 1O7
to 0, over Notre Dame % to 0, over
Ohio State SO and SO to 0, over Indiana
60 and 81 to 0, and over Oberlin 63 and
AZ to 0.
Maddox played in the day when
husky tackles played large part in the
offensive of their teams. He was one
of the best line plungers that Michigan
has ever boasted. His punting was
one of the striking features of all
Michigan victories for two years.
Coach Yost chose Maddox as right
tackle on his All-Time Michigan eleven.
After leaving the University of Michi-
gan Maddox took up coaching and has
just completed long term as head
football mentor at Utah university.
During his stay at Utah his teams were
not defeated for four consecutive years.
He is well fitted to coach from his
playing and coaching experience of
the past.

VETCH-RYE PROVE TO
BE FINE COMBINATION
Best to Plant August Is to
September |

Vetch and rye have proved to be a
great combination in western and
northern Michigan, declares j. F. Cox,
head Of the crops department at M. A.
C. The ability of this crop to improve
the yielding ability of soils, particularly
light land, is well known. Vetch seed
is bringing high price and it is likely
that the strong demand for Michigan
grown seed will continue.
"For best results vetch and rye
should be planted from Aug. Is to Sept.
~, says Professor Cox, although early
September seedlings often do very well.
The usual rate of planting is 20 pounds
of winter vetch with three pecks or one
bushel of rye. Light ground should be
rolled firmly at time OF seeding"
Michigan orchard men are using
vetch, and vetch and rye, to an in
creasing extent as green manuring
crop for planting between fruit trees
The demand from this source has been
so great that there is hardly enough
Michigan grown seed produced to meet
the demands OF the orchard men alone.
Culture for inoculation may be
secured from the Department of Bac-
teriology at the Michigan Agricultural
College, East Lansing. A charge of
twenty-five cents bottle to cover costs
is made for this. One bottle contains
sufficient material to inoculate bushel
of seed-directions for application ac-
company the material.

En.mlss Of the Olive Tree.

Besides the birds. there are numer-
ous insects which attack the fruit, the
wood and the leaves Of the olive tree.
The most dreaded Of these Is a small
fly called Dacus eleae, which is about
half the size Of common house fly.
The female has sting like wasp,
with which she punctures the fruit
where she deposits her eggs. 1t 10
calculated that a single fly will thus
destroy three hundred or four hundred

Another Phase
OF The H. c. L.

In 1909 a manufacturer, whose name
and address are obtainable if necessary,
built brick factory building. He paid
bricklayers So cents per hour and they
laid 100 bricks per day. During the
past ten years he has built additions to
this factory, each year paying brick
layers more money and each year get
ting less production, until the Spring
of 1920, when he built his last addition,
$paying bricklayers $l.25 per hour and
for which Sal bricks per day were laid.
The increase in wages of about 125 per
cent since 1909 has been commensurate
with the increase in the cost of living
and few intelligent thinking people
would object to paying bricklayers
$l.25 per hour But all of us, when we
realize il, discountenance the fact that
the production OF brick layers has
fallen off more than 80 per cent. As
far as the bricklaying is concerned, it
is about Az times as it was in 1903,
while the men themselves are receiving
an increase in wage Ia times as much
as they did ten years ago.
During the past few years, possibly
during the past few months, textile
weavers of the New England states
have received increases in wage from
169 to 1876 per cent. 1t was only two or
. three years ago when each weaver
would operate six looms, but as wages
increased production decreased, until
now each weaver operates but three
looms. During the same period that
wages have doubled and trebled pro-
duction has decreased so per cent
= The increase in wages has been about
commensurate with the increase in the
high cost of living and but little OBJ
lection is expressed thereto, but all of
us now begin to realize why clothing is
SO expensive.
From 1915 to 1919 the business of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
creased less than Is per cent but re-
quired an increase of 81 per cent in the
number Of men employed to handle
this Is per cent increase in business
.and the payroll increased 129 per cent
This is one of the reasons why the
railroads at present time are asking for
increases in freight rates and passenger
fares.
The decrease in production on the
part of the railroad men is being paid
for by the travelling and shipping
public.
Before the era of war wages the
Pennsylvania Railroad System paid its
track men $l,75 per day. Now these
track men receive about $3.50 per day.
In a recent address delivered by Mr..
Elisha Lee, Vice President in charge OF
the eastern region, he stated that the
SDroduction Of these men, while draw
ing the greatest wage in the history OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad, had de-
creased 40 per cent.
Hundreds of similar illustrations are
obtainable to show the extent to which
decrease in production on the part OF
labor along with the increases in
wages is contributing to the high cost
~ living. In fact; the "profiteering''
OF labor is undoubtedly today the great.
est controlling factor in the present
peak load Of commodity prices.

INFORMATION ABOUT
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

OPENING OF SCHOOL
School in the first six grades and kindergarten
will open on Monday, Sept 9th, the first Monday in
September. Two weeks later, Monday, Sept. 2Oth
high school will open in the new building.
CHANGES
On the West Side new toilet system is being
installed which will prevent the difficulties which
have arisen in the past from freezing and flooding
On the East side the grades will be housed in the old
high school building. The kindergarten, first,
second and third grades will be the first floor and
the ungraded room and fourth, fifth and sixth
grades will be the second floor. The stairs have
been improved so that they will be practically noise.
less. The heating plant has been removed from this
building to the new high school building so that any
possibility of fire will be that much lessened. The
have been redecorated where needed and other
necessary improvements made.
The new high school building will not be en-.
tirely completed Sept. Goth but will be nearly
enough done to move into it, 1t is not necessary to
enumerate the improvements attendant upon the
completion of the high school more than to state
that East Jordan will have educational plant
second to none in Northern Michigan.
TEXT BOOKS
Michigan has had a law forcing text book COM
panies to sell books in Michigan cheaply they
were sold in any other state. Some of the other
states have had statewide adoptions covering five
year periods. These adoptions kept the prices of
books in Michigan down to pre-war rate But
enough time has elapsed for most of these contracts
to expire and the prices thus higher. In fact
the catalOgs announce prices in some cases 100
per cent higher than year ago. These high prices
can be largely offset if all those having second hand
books will get them together and bring them to school
at the opening and offer them for sale They can be
sold through the office at no inconvenience. The
text books this year the last year with the
single exception of beginning algebra and in this
second hand books may be turned in at exchange
price. Many dollars can be saved if all will cooper
ate in this very important matter
TEACHERS, WAGES AND BOARD
At the present time it is difficult to Sc
cure competent teachers than before. So many
have left teaching to enter other lines of work that
the shortage is alarming Although East Jordan has
a competent teaching staff for the coming year the
wages to be paid will not quite equal the average
paid in places of equal size. At the present time
there are only two homes in East Jordan where it is
known that teachers may room this coming year. In
these two homes but three teachers can be accom-
modated. 1t is therefore evident that some good
citizens will have to offer to homeless teachers
if these teachers going to spend year in
midst.
