FARM BUREBU MEM
BERSHIP INCREASING

Since July IL, 1920, when the farm
bureau membership was begun in
Charlevoix County, the total member
ship of the state has increased from
1900 to 81, 900. This county's member
ship is, at present, 600.
Membership campaigns have been
discontinued for the rest of the winter
by the state farm bureau on account Of
bad roads and the higher cost OF solici-
tation. The annual report of the organ
ization work made before the state
board of delegates at East Lansing,
shows that "a, $50 joined the county and
state farm bureaus during the last year
which, added to the 2,750 members
who had joined year ago, makes the
grand total $1,000. Records show, ac-
cording to the state farm bureau, that
83 per cent of all farmers visited be-
came members. There are seven more
counties yet to be canvassed, three in
the Upper Peninsula and four in the
lower and this work is expected to be
done in the spring.

Power Dam
Well Built
Electric Light Co. Have Fine
New Plant.

Without question the greatest addi
ton made to East Jordan's industrial
sphere during the past year was thai
of the East Jordan Electric Light &
Power Co.'S. new water-power equip
ment erected aud installed on Deer
Creek at the site of the old power dam
which was washed out a number oi
years ago.
Work of building the dam was started
May 1st last and East Jordan received
its first 'juice" from the new power
house about fortnight ago.
The dam has been built for stability
and will withstand heavy head OF
water. In the cement work, over ten
carloads of cement were used. The
cement walls are thirty.four feet high,
about sixty feet long, are eight foo;
thick at the base tapering to three feet
at the top. Two ten-foot spillways are
provided. Work on the dirt filling
was started Nov. 1st and continued
with IL to IA teams up to January 18th
when heavy snow prevented further
work. There is still about two months
more work to complete the filling.
In the power house is 300 X. w.
General Electric generator; 2300 volt,
three phase, 60 cycle. This generator
weighs fifteen tons and the work of
getting it out from the railroad to its
location was no small matter. Power
is derived from two 20-in. Sampson
horizontal turbines. At present the
power and generator are belt connected
but as soon as a suitable foundation
can be made, the generator will be
moved over and connected direct with
the power.
AT present there is a working head
of water of 20 to % feet, but this will
be considerably increased in the spring
On 32-ft. head 500 horse power will
be developed.
Owing to the winter months coming
on, neither the dam itself or power
house are completed and the Company's
steam plant land there's none better in
the state)is being used about half the
time to carry the heavier loads.
The East Jordan Electric Light &
Power Co. have expended consider
able amount in the erection of this
plant, and both Pres. c. S. Abbott and
Supt. l. G. Balch have worked un-
tiringly to carry out the work.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE FINE

The attendance in the rural schools
has never been better. One report af-
ter another comes to the commissioner
marked mo absence at al" This
would seem to indicate splendid health
throughout the country, the best in
years. Surely the weather man is
kind indeed, for very little absence has
been made necessary because of bad
weather. Spirit was never better and
there is great demand for the little rib
bon badges which are given this year in
place OF the certificates OF former years.
The children will receive the usual big
diploma for a full year of perfect,
punctual attendance.
To be sure, there is little absence,
though very little. With rural enroll
ment of nearly 1.5OO, only twelve cases
needed to be placed in the hands of the
County Truant Officer, Mr.. Harring-
ton. This is less than one per cent un-
excused, or more accurately only one
in one hundred twenty-five absent
without due excuse. Surely Mr.. Har-
rinpton takes care of that one, but as
one little teacher expressed it, on her
report, when two cases Of illness spoil
ed her perfect attendance record, "Sor-
ry that this had to be, But il couldn't
be helped you see. Skies cannot al
ways be blue, not for me and not for
YOU"

tical suggestions along this line which

Self To Death
Henry G. Tuesdale Sets Fire to
VIM. Reyes Home Friday.

During fit of insanity Friday after
noon Henry G. Tuesdale, residing at
the William Keyes' farm home in Re-
sort township, set fire to the house and
burned himself to death in the flames.
Mr.. Tuesdale came here some time ago
suffering from illness caused by paral.
ysis and had not had employment for
many months. Mrs. Tuesdale and Mr..
and Mrs. Keyes report that the man
had been respondent for some weeks,
and that on Friday he became violent.
He quarreled with his wife and drove
her to the apartment OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Keyes on the first floor of the home.
In the early afternoon he attempted TO
take the coupe's young child from its
mother, but failed to accomplish his
purpose and returned to his rooms.
Nothing was heard from him until
neighbors discovered the building afire.
The family, with the aid Of the neigh
bors, removed most of the furniture
from the ground floor, but the flames
had such start that they could not
gain entrance to the rooms on the Sec
ond floor.
The charred remains of the insane
man were found in the ruins after the
fire had burned itself out.-Petoskey
