FARM BUREAU PICNIC

About $500 people attended the
first annual Farm Bureau picnic
held at the county park north of
Forester last Friday, August &c.
Hon. Louis C.. Cramton, our con-
gresham, James Nichol, Presi-
dent of the Michigan State Farm
Bureau, and Miss Elba Morse,
county nurse, were the principal
speakers. Mr.. CramtOn discussed
in length the great need of eco
nomical appropriations. The far
mers were greatly interested in
what Mr.. Nichol had to say of the
great developments of the Michi-
gan State Farm Bureau both from
the financial and business stand
point. The information as given
out by Miss Morse about the great
need for the betterment of child
welfare in this county attracted
much attention.
Much interest was created
among the members of the differ
ent farm bureau locals as to who
would obtain the prizes offered
by the largest attendance. This
brought out about $50 automo-
biles from different parts of the
county, with Croswell in the lead,
represented by about 100 autos.
The awarding of the second prize
has been left to a committee for
decision, for Minden City, Deck
erville, Carsonville, Sandusky and
Shower were also in large attend
andce.
Games and sports made up the
morning program, with music fur
nished by the Lexington band and
community picnic dinner was
enjoyed at noon. The day was
brought to a close by a ball game
between the northern half of the
county and the southern half,
which was won by the members
representing the south half.

OSTRANDER REUNION

Among the first settlers of st.
Clair county was the family of
George and Sarah Ostrander, who
lived on their farm 8 miles north
of Capac, now owned by Henry
Kampa. The parents and three
children are now dead, but twen-
ty-fve of the remaining members
of this family gathered at Glad
win, Mich. in a reunion on Aug.
2Sth. The hospitable home of r.
VI. Morris. was opened wide for
this occasion, which was very
delightful. Dinner was both
sumptuous and delicious. Table
decorations were in red and
green and very cleverly arranged.
Music, laughter and much visit
ing continued to make it time
long to be remembered.
Those present were the host
and his wife, Vernie Oliver Nor
ris, daughters Nina and Lucille,
Mrs. Hugh Oliver, daughters June
and Fern, of Beaverton, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. E. Ostrander and children

MENNONITE CAMPMEETING

The annual camp meeting of the
Mennonite Brethren in Christ
church, which is being held in the
City Park, is largely attended.
There are about one hundred
tents on the ground, with nearly
500 regular campers and more are
expected.
The heavy rain Saturday eve
ming kept many from coming on
Sunday by auto, but the large
tabernacle, which seats nearly
1,200 was filled.
Rev. J. A. Huffman, of BlufftUn.
Ohio, is the principal speaker.
His sermons are interesting, help
full and timely. The home talent
is also giving good service.
Rev. j. Hygema, of Fort Wayne
Ind, and w. S. Hottie, of Chicago,
are expected to be present during
the latter part of the camp.
Services will continue until
Sunday evening. A cordial invi-
tation is extended to all to attend

The Board of Education have made
room twelve into comfortable recitation
room for the departmental grades. Desks
have been added to room two OF the high
school which will be used as second as
sembly. 1t is now as good as the large
assembly room for study and storage of
books. The high school assembly room
has been redecorated 1t is expected that
the additional seats added to the sec
ond assembly will give sufficient capacity
to take care of our nonresident students
nicely.
The tuition in the high school for the
coming year $4,000. This is all paid by
the district from which the high school
student comes, since the state legislature
recently passed law to the effect that any
district not having high school shall pay
tuition up to and including 500 of any
student attending any high school.

our farmer friends, we will well
come it to our midst.

WARNING !

Beware of the oily, smooth ton
gued statesmen who are in our city
and community at the present
time offering stock which paid
fabulous rates of interest. They
work our city until they can't find
any more suckers, then they go
out in the country for our farmer
friends, taking their notes which
must be paid someday. Get your
bankers advice before you in
vest in these wildcat schemes.

According to dispatches from Rome
Pope Benedict Nv. is expected to deliver
an allocution dealing with the question OF
disarmament at today's conSistory, re-
ment in August, 1917, when he submit
ted his peace proposals to the belligerent
nations His holiness also has birth
day today-his sixty - having
been born in the town of Pegli, near
Genoa, Nov. 81, 1854. He comes of Il
family long prominent in the ranks of the
Italian nobility and was educated in the
College of Noble Ecclesiastics in Rome.
With his ordination as n priest in 1873
he entered upon n brilliant career in the
church. He became protege of the late
Cardinal Rampolla. one of the most bril-
liant statesmen in the church, and there
after his advancement was rapid. In
1907 he became archbishop of Bologna,
followed only seven years later by his
election to the chair of st. Peter.

AIRCRAFT AND SUBMARINES.

When all is said and done, the scrap
ping of half our battleships, present or
prospective, may be no great sacrifice
The magnitude and holiness of the Amer
fcan proposals have made people forget
foF the moment, that battleships have
become of doubtful utility in warfare
Recent experiments in the United
States navy have seemed to show that
any battleship now existing or building
might be destroyed by bombs dropped
from airplanes in their present state of
development; and aviation is making
steady progress. Many authorities have
been insisting for some time that dread
naughts be abandoned in favor of air
fleets, for the double reason that the lat
ter were destined to be more effective
and far less expensive.
Then there are submarines. which also
cost far less than battRships or battle
cruisers, and against which the capital
ships have as yet found no sure means of
defending themselves. Submarines are
continually growing in speed, size, range
and fighting power. --..
With such air and water craft, any ma
val power may make itself dangerously
strong at less cost. Thorough going linn
itation will have to limit them, too.

Christmas Shonning.
tSt. Johnsbury Caledonian. }

Nct' JoHIlSBuTS NdleUODldn.t
Retail stores in many places are already
saying, DO your Christmas shopping
early" This year there is a very strong
added reason for such policy.
Formerly Il great deal was said about
the severe pressure brought on store
clerks and mail and express employees by
the habit of buying Christmas presents
during the brief period before the holiday,
and then sending them all in a heap. Ii
IS most inhuman and prepOsterous prac-
tice. and all that has been said previously
applies now.
This year, if people would start right
in today and buy their Christmas stuff. it
would do lot to help trade. Many fac
tories are still running on short time. If
the merchants could by the first of De-
Tcember clean up a good share of their
holiday trade, it would enable them to
go ahead and buy new stuff. This would
set to work a lot Of people who otherwise
would be idle or employed only on part
time, and would help them get through
the hard times of winter
There is bound to be more activity in
trade after Christmas anyway. The big
holiday rush always turns a lot of goods
into money and permits renewed buying
and sends thrill of energy into the work
of manufacturing production all over the
country.
Now the question arises whether the
country will get that new impulse of ac-
tivity in January as the result of a big
cleanup of goods in December.
Or can it come in December, as the re-
suit of big cleanup of goods in Noyem-
Der?
If a lot Of people who have been finding
fault with poor business would simply
get busy and buy now the things they
will buy anyway next month, it would
produce a big business revival at. once,
and bring prosperous times one month
nearer.
Any merchant in Northeastern Yer
mont would tell you that a rush of buy
ing in November would permit him to
place new orders for stuff a month earlier
than he otherwise would.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-11-21

The United States has more than a
million weddings every year, but we
build only some 10000 new dwellings
every twelve months. Thirty years ago
there were 10 families for every 100
dwellings available. Now there is an
extra household for every fifth home. The
percentage of rent-payers and tenement
jewellers in our population is growing
every year and~thcre has been no serious
effort as yet to correct this disastrous
tendency.
The conditions which exist today dis
courage marriage and child-bearfng
They send husbands to boarding houses
stimulate social and industrial unrest,
for unsatisfactory living always tends to
forbid a philosophical acceptance of life's
other troubles. They initiate against
national health, for as the average num-
Der of persons to a room increases, the
death rate increases. Where parents own
their own homes, the death rate is less
than half what it is in the houses which
charge the lower rents.
The home-owner is never a prospective
convert for the agitator He has a
stake" in his community, an interest in
its developing prosperity. He is far
more likely to prove a dependable, and
ultimately a substantial, citizen than his
renting neighbor
There are few governmental agencies
more deserving of encouragement and
support than the newly created division
of Building and Housing of the depart
ment of commerce.

Vermont Home Owners.
(St. Adams Messenger.)

More Vermonters own their own homes
in proportion to homes occupied than
the average of the country. In other
nation at large on the average. There are
IL states with larger percentage of home
owners: Maine, Wisconsin,, Michigan,
Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota. South
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, New Mexico and
Utah. The country's percentage of owned
homes is 45.6 while yermont's is 57.5.
The national percentage of homes owned
free of encumbrance is 2S.2:s VermOnt's,
35.1. Outside the large cities where linn
tied space makes costs proliibitive, and
eliminating those whose occupation is
more or less of a transient nature (which
includes some of the very BEST. it has
been held, rightly or wrongly, that the
home owner is apt to make the best citi-
zen because he has conscious investment
and stake in a community. If this is SO.
Vermont stands up With the best and
above the average.
