closely related to control over hered-
ity, but the methods which give the
greatest control are not necessarily
those which lead to the most rapid
improvement.
In broad sense, the whole subject
OF practical breeding comes under the
head Of selection. The most obvious
basis for such selection is the per-
f0rmance Of the animals themselves.
Unfortunately, the merit of most
kinds Of live stock cannot be meas
ured directly. The study of,conforma-
ton as an index Of useful qualities
has accordingly held high place
as basis for selection of breeding
stock. Live stock Judging has this
for Its purpose. An animal OF good
breeding IL a better one to breed than
one Of equal individual merit but OF
mixed or common breeding. Pedi-
gree. though often misused, is val
liable aid to selection, apart from fol-
lowing a general policy of mating.
The soundest basis Of all for selec-
ton Of breeding stock is the record
OF past performance as a breeder, pro-
vtded the record is sufficiently exten.
sive to give fair test.

You will have to assign so much to

We shall probably be particularly lib

piness.
The last thing that will be thought
about, and the most scanty allowance
will be made for 1t, will be the devel-
opment and betterment Of our minds.
How much money did you spend last

are keeping to read second time
| books that added to your wisdom or
gave you something valuable to think
about?
How much time did you spend in
filling your mental storehouse with
facts useful in daily life and valuable
in your daily work?
Did you spend as much for informa-
ton as you did for gasoline?
If you were to add together all the
time you spent gaining knowledge,
would 1t be half the time that you
spent dancing? ~
Do you consider that MONEY is the
only thing you spend?
TIME is your much greater asset.
You can earn more money.
You cannot with all the wealth of
all the universe. In all the ages, buy
one minute of time nor bring back for

Completely outclassing Howell
Owosso high school football team
celebrated Armistice day by run
ming up it's first big score Of the
season and winning, 81 to at Ath-
letic Park. A crowd of several hun
dred people, many of them former
service men in uniform, shivered
through an hour of play, and cheer
ed the local youths as they ripped
the Livingston county teams de-
Tense to shreds and stopped them
dead on the defense.
The Owosso team played the best
football it has shown this year. The
team play was perfect, the offense
dashing and the defense brilliant.
The entire machine worked smooth
er than it has at any time during the
season.
Howell, although big rangy
team, seemed demoralized after the
first few minutes of play and never
was a match for Owosso. The only
time the visitors gained was when
they tried the forward pass. They
got away with three passes for good
gains, but these outbursts were spo-
radio and did not get the team any
where in the long run.
Little Rice, at quarterback was
one of the outstanding stars in
Owosso's play. He played brilliantly
on defense and on the offensive
plunged and squirmed his way
through the whole Howell team sew
eral times.

realty tax, the personal tax which
were the only methods of taxation

increased from 1907 to 1921 until it
is almost six times as large.

state legislature, l was determined
to fight for reduced appropriations"
said Mr.. Lennon. "When Governor
Groesbeck was elected, it was on a
platform of reduced state expendi-
lures and retrenchment. But when
got to Lansing and got on the in
side, l found just what the governor
found, that the appropriations were
not adequate. .,.

Michigan would be broke for several
months. The franchise fee, COM

$6,000,000, tiding the state over.
The supreme court may declare it
unconstitutional, but the state had

opposed to the law, on the ground
that it was discriminatory and that
if it became permanent it would re-
suit in domination of the state by
the big corporations. But we had to
do something and that law seemed to
be the best way out. The u. of M.
and M. A. c. appropriations for new
buildings were attached to this law

law out, it will knock them out also.

They say that there are approx

six billions worth are paying not one

Eighteen children were given ev-

three cases of under-nourishment
were found. Five cases of diseased
tonsils were revealed, three cases of
adenoids, two of bad teeth, and one
of suspected tuberculosis. The sight
and hearing of the children was
found to be all right.

children. Miss Reyes has already in
spected all of the grades up to and
including the third, and many of the
children who are being examined at
the clinic are those whom she has
recommended for examination.
After inspecting the children in
the schools, Miss Reyes writes her
findings and sends her recommends

She does not expect to complete the
