DARING RACE DRIVER
TAKES, NO CHANCES

There's a difference between dar-
ing and foolhardiness in driving speed
cars" said Howdy Wilcox, who will
drive a Puegot in the 500-mile dash at
the indianapolis Motor Speedway,
Monday, May 30.
There are few drivers who will
continue to speed their mounts even
after they feel 1t giving way under
the terrific strain of the gruelling
long-distance race-but not me. I can
tell by the feel of car whether it's
performing at it's best and there Is an
ever present premonition whenever
danger is lurking. When that time
comes drive the car off the track.
remember one short-distance race in
which was leading with but a short
ride to victory when l noticed one Of
my wire wheels weaving, showing
signs OF weakness. I might have been
able to complete the race-and many
drivers would have kept right on CIV
ing the car the gun-but l drove it
into the pits. There is a small per-
centage of danger when everything is
performing with mechanical precision
but when things begin to happen
that's the time l want to be on the
sidelines."
And we might add that Wilcox won
the 1919 International 50O-mile race
and is noted for his skill and finish in
driving.

WASHINGTON LETTER
THE WAY TO FRIENDSHIP

1t is arranged that Gen. Pershing
shall be in Paris to participate in the
celebration of Bastille Day, July ID.
Later it is understood he will return
to the United States on the same ship
with Marshal Foch and the body of
an unidentified American soldier. In
accordance with an act of Congress
passed at the last session, the body
will be buried in the National Gene
terry at Arlington with elaborate cere-
monies, prominent in which will be
the leader of the American armies
and the commander in chief of all the
allied forces. 1t is international ex-
changes Of that sort that cement the
friendly ties between nations and
reduce the probability of future wars.
France and the United States are not
at peace merelyl because certain ar
bitrary rules and regulations are
written into league of nations cove
nant, but because there are mutual
ties of sympathy and understanding
between the two countries.

sHIAWASSEE COUNTY HAS
GOOD HEALTH RECORD

Lansing, May "a. - Shiawassee
County with population of 1924
had five deaths from diphtheria in
1920, giving the county a diphtheria
death rate equivalent to 1879 per
100000 population, according to
rates made public this week by the
Michigan Department of Health.
Southern Michigan's average death
rate from diphtheria in 1920 was
26.S per 100000 population. Mich
igan's diphtheria death rate in 1919
was 81 per 100000 inhabitants. In
1920 the average rate for the state
increased to 24.1 deaths from diph-
theria to every 100000 living per-
sons.
Diphtheria death rates of counties
adjacent to Shiawassee Countryside
figured on the basis of 100000 popu-
lation-are as follows: Clinton AS,
Ingham 21.6, and Genesee 24.7.
"Any county which has a diph-
liberia death rate greater than 10 per
100000 population should consider
it's rate excessive and should take the
necessary steps to reduce it," reads
the statement. "Antitoxin, the only
known cure for diphtheria, will be
available next January for free dis
tribution throughout the state. But
in the meantime every child and adult
evidencing symptoms of diphtheria-
a sore throat and a temperature
should have the protection antitoxin
affords.
michigan had the highest death
rate in 1918 from diphtheria of any
state in the Union, and rate which
was twice as high as the average rate
for the United States. If commu-
mites are to control diphtheria, the
childhood plague of Michigan, use
must be made from now on of every
preventive measure"

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Protest against a Consumption
tax" does not fool anyone into the
notion that some taxes are not con-
sumption taxes. The excess profits
tax, the corporation tax, the income
tax, the land tax, the automobile tax,
are all consumption taxes passed on
from one to another. 1t is un-
doubtedly true that some of the taxes
are not equally distributed but in
general they finally fall as a practi-
cally equal burden upon all. The in.
heritance tax is probably the least
easily passed on to some one else, but
all taxes paid by men in active bust
ness are added to the cost Of produc.
tion and reflected in prices. There is
little in names.
The United States is asking moth
ing from Germany in the way of in
IDENTITIES or penalties. 1t does not
propose to be made the collection
agency for those nations who are.

GOOD BEAN SEED STOCK SAID
LARGE IN STATE

East Lansing, May 25.-Michigan
has the largest stock of good bean
seed in its history this year, accord
ing to DR.. G.. H. Coons, plant patho-
logist at M. A. G. Five dry seasons
have operated to renovate Michigan
seed, which was in bad condition at
the close of the 1915 season, Bean
Anthracnose giving the chief trouble.
"Bean Anthracnose is creeping in
again, however, in certain sections
where there was fairly abundant
rainfall last year." says DR.. Coons,
"and it certainly is advisable for
farmers to look into the matter of
seed free from Anthracnose."
Free testing of beans as to their
fitness for planting is being made by
the Botany Department, Michigan
Agricultural College, East Lansing.

GOVERNMENT COMPETITION

Last year the profits of the Federal
Reserve Bank at New York were such
that six per cent dividend was paid
to all stockholders, and enough was
left over to turn 100000 into the
United States Treasury. 1t is to the
credit of the Republican administra-
tion that the interest rate on loans
has been promptly cut. The Federal
Reserve System was not designed as
money-making institution for the
Government, but solely as an aid to
sound business.

GARDEN NOTES
By r. E. Loree, M. A. c. Horticult-
ural Department

Now is a good time to plant Lima
beans. They grow best in rich,
warm, loamy soils. When planting
the large seeded kinds, it will pay to
place the seeds in the soil with the
"eye" down. Don't cover too deeply.
A covering Of one or two inches of
fine moist soil is sufficient.
Cucumbers for the pickle crop
should be sown about June 1st. Many
prefer to plant them in rows rather
than in hills. The rows should be
spaced about six feet apart. Later
the plants should be thinned to 18
inches or two feet apart.
The asparagus beetle, a small
orange colored insect, is serious
pest in most gardens where aspara-
gus is grown. Leave a plant here
and there uncut. The beetles will
collect on these and may then be
poisoned if the trap" plants are kept
well sprayed with arsenate Of lead.
Powdered arsenate of lead is de-
pendable poison for all insects that
chew. For garden use, three or four
tablespoonfuls in a gallon of water
will be strong enough for most of the
chewing insects.
Quality in vegetables depends
largely upon rapid continuous growth
Plenty of moisture and plant food
are necessary to accomplish these re.
suits. Keep the cultivator going
Frequent cultivation helps to con.
serve moisture and makes more avail
able the necessary elements for plant
growth.

THE FILIPINO CANOE

A recent uprising in Mindanao,
Philippine Islands, which resulted in
the killing by Government forces of
80 Moros will hardly convince Cen
eral Wood, who is now studying the
qualifications of the Filippinos for
self-government, that they are ready
to embark in their own ship of state.
the canoe which the
Filipino is best fitted to paddle at
this time is a war canoe.
