ton of two or three, there is not a
member of the present conservation
commission who is fitted by know
ledge to fill his place."
State Game Warden John Baird
has invited Mr.. Curwood to go to
Lansing and confer with him this
week before the Flint meeting is
held. The significance of this invi-
tation and the following conference
between the two men can only be
known late. The novelist said he
would gladly go to Lansing and con-
fer with Mr.. Baird, but his going to
the capitol has not caused him to
cancel the Flint meeting or to defer
in making arrangements for the Lam
sing meeting and the hundred 9th
ers, which, he says, are certain to
fellow.
II have not gone into this matter
lightly" continued the author, "but
have, since l first became cognizant
of the fact that rotten political meth
DDS were destroying all possibility Of
a just and proper conservation and
propagation of forest and wild life in
the state of Michigan, worked with
my whole heart and soul to fight the
political machine that is destroying
life in my state. And this is really
destroying life that is valued most
human life; for if every tree in the
state were cut down and the conse-
quent destruction or migration of
wild life and the pollution of lakes
and streams to follow, no human be-
ing could live in the state of Mich
igan three months. This is no theory,
but a scientific fact that has been
proved. If the present political rot
tenness and inefficiency continues to
manifest itself-if it does not trans
form itself into an agency that will
work for the welfare of the people,
regardless of who is governor of
Michigan it is only reasonable and
logical to suppose that eventually all
life will end in the state"

cleaning time comes at least once a
year. And with housekeeping time
comes yard cleaning time and fruit
grating time and garden planting
time, and the time for setting out
shrubbery and trees and flowers in
our dooryards, etc. Whatever we
can do to make our homes more san
itary, more inviting, more beautiful,
more artistic, eve should do not only
once year, but all the time. A
flower bed or two filled with thrifty
blooming plants, and a few shrubs
or trees or vines in our dooryards
help much to make our homes at
tractive and at the same time ado

THE OTHER FELLOW

We will grant at the outset that
he may not be as interesting a char
acter as "Yours truly" and his inn
mediate family | believe that there
is an old adage which we have never
questioned the truth Of, viz; Every
Mothers goose is a swan" That is,
we have never questioned the truth
of IL as applied to our own children.
We have, probably, as applied to our
neighbor's children. An old lady once
said to me in regard to certain
friend. "She is the most interesting
person to talk TO that | know" |
repeated the remark to the person in
question, thinking to pass along a
great compliment, but received only
smile in return accompanied with
the quiet rejoinder, "That is anus
inc. for / never have TO say anything
but yes and no, when | am talking
with her. All the rest of the time |
simply look interested and let her
ramble on about herself and her past
experiences"
And if we stop and analyze the sit
uation, we will all have to plead
guilty to being much more interested
in ourselves and our immediate fam
lilies than in anything else. In fact
the most Of us, like the old lady just
mentioned, derive more solid com
fort from talking about ourselves
and our own problems than from
listening TO someone else discus.
himself and his problems. Indeed
the most of us do not consider the
problems of the other fellow really
worth considering at all.
The time has come, however, thi
week, for the citizens of Alma Il
stop and consider seriously the prob
lens confronting an important insti
tuition of the city. We have all be
come so accustomed to the presenc
of the College upon the hill and it
various activities, that we are in
clined to take it as a matter o
course and to pay little attention t
the advantages which such an insti
tuition offers continually to all tn
people in the city who care to bene
fit from them Many good things i
the line of entertainments, lectures
and other similar features, are cor
stantly being offered to the public
and too often the public in genera
does not take time to realize tn
value Of these things, or to benef
from them as it should The cultur;
value to the city from this SQUIRE
alone is not small by any means an
far too few people reap the benef
that they might, because they al
too greatly interested in somethin
else.
Alma College has great possibil
ties ahead Of it if it can obtain Il
necessary financial support that wi
enable it to expand and improve i
equipment. What benefits the Co
legc, must in great measure benef
the town. What benefits the tow
will benefit the citizens Of the tow
both directly and indirectly.
Let's think Of the other fellow
problems this week and do all tn
we can to help boost in this car
paign. Let's recognize that the OF
or fellows problems this week al
do all that we can to boost in tn
campaign. Let's recognize that t
other fellow, in this instance,
worth considering even if we mu
for the moment forget ourselves.
