Children to Learn
Correct Food Habits

East Lansing, Sept 23-Too pre-
alent malnutrition among Michigan
school children is the target of a
special campaign being launched by
the home economics division of the
Michigan Agricultural College ex-
tension service. A special series of
Nutrition Lessons has been prepared
and will be distributed to the schools
OF the state, especially in rural COM
munities.
The lessons which set forth the
fundamental principles of correct
food habits, will cover everything
from the size of meals which should
be eaten to the correct balancing
OF "rations." The first lesson deals
with milk and its value in human diet.
especially for children.
The campaign is said to be in the
nature of follow-up work for the
educational nutrition work which has
been carried on by U. S. Department
of Agriculture and State Agricul-
tural College specialists for several
years. The work in Michigan is to be
handled under the supervision of
Miss Mariel Hopkins, nutrition spe-
cialist with the extension division at
NJ. A. c. County agricultural and
home demonstration agents will CO.
operate with rural school teachers in
distributing the material to the
class rooms.

Methodists Lose
Popular Pastors

Removal from Owosso of two pastors
of the three Methodist Episcopal
churches was ordered at the annual
conference OF the church at Adrian,
Monday night, by Bishop Theodore S.
Henderson.
According to the changes as an
nounced, Rev. Dunning Idle of the first
church will close his four years here
and leave for Ypsilanti where he will
assume charge of the First church there,
which, it Ia said, has membership of
more than 1900. Rev. Idle's stay here
has exceeded by one year the usual
term allowed by the Bishop. so his
removal was thought probable by the
congregation. which, however sent
representatives to the conference to
work to keep him here. His service to
the Owosso church has been such that
II has reached a size and activity never
before'a attained here. and the departure
of Rev. Idle will be kesnly felt by the
whole congregation.
Rev. Champion Of the Asbury church
will remove from Owosso. it was de-
cided. closing three years of service in
the church here. Members of the church
state that his stay here has been one Of
high success and his services In the
church will be hard to replace.
Rev. ]. w. Koyle of the Corunna
Avenue church, is the only minister of
the church left in Owosso. Rev Koyle
has served here two years and so was
hardly expected to be removed.

Can you gather together a few decks of cards that have been cast off because the edges are turned or bent, or because they are a bit soiled, or be- cause they have been used more than once? Can you get half dozen or dozen decks from your club or your friends?

 Will you send all of your discard ed decks to Miss Hilda Steinhart, sup ervisor of hospital service, Pacific di- vision headquarters of the American Red Cross, San Francisco, and she will forward them to the hospital patients. If you have any games, Victrola rec ords or musical instruments that are not in use will you include them, too.

distress, to the great majority. It is high time that the federal govern ment took both of these fighting and yelling youngsters by the nap of the neck and seat of the pants and knock ed their heads together, commanding: ''Thus far shalt thou go and no farther"
 The big fight on just at present is over the open or closed shop. Cap ital says it is his shop, and he wants it open; and labor says it don't care what he wants, it's going to be closed, anyhow, and there you are. The last step in the trouble is by the Bethle- hem Steel Corporation, which now re- fuses to sell steel products to any firm or contractor who employs union labor
 The equity part of the whole bus mess is perfectly plain to all except capital and labor, each looking through smoked selfish glasses. No organization of any kind whatsoever has, any right to dictate to anybody outside that organization who they shall employ or who they shall not employ, and any claim to the contrary is the merest sophistry, selfshness, biogtry or ignorance On the other hand, no organization has any right on earth to dictate to any employe what organization he shall or shah not belong to, as long as the same shall be loyal to the country. And as-far as the recent action of the steel trust is concerned, it is not only unjust but downright foolish. After it has sold it's products to somebody, it is none of it's business what the other person does with it, or who he employs or don't employ. Strengthen the hands of the United States labor board and make arbitration compul sorry, with the power and punishment to enforce it's decrees. That the many should suffer because of the selfish ness of the few is un-American.- Chandler Arizonan.
