EX-SERv|CE MEN
IN NEW SCHEME
FOR TRAIN ING
Project on Foot for Establish
ment of One-Man Dairy
Farm Near HOltuille.
(By United Press)

HOLTVILLE, July 18.-Dairying is
exceedingly popular with the ex-serv-
ice men, trainees Of the McDevitt COM
pany, and many Of them are contem-
plating taking up the dairy business
on an intensive basis at the end of the
first year, when they get their 40 acre
tracts apportioned to them.
During he last year dairying has
held it's own, despite business depres-
sion, and the men express the belief
that the one-man farm idea can be
successfully carried out in this busi-
ness with a string of good cows on
with chickens and hogs for the by
products of the dairy.
The work Of the state university in
conducting tests for butterfat produc-
ton in the valley during the last year
has been closely watched by the train
ees. The records of many dairymen
have been studied and the results
prove the value of pure-bred cows
especially the Holstein.
The newest Soldier Farms" project
in the valley is being launched ON the
Henry F. Barton ranch. just across
New river from Thompson's crossing.
The Barton ranch consists of 1000
acres.
"The arrangement has no conrec-
ton whatever with the McDevitt units
but is just between the government,
the soldier boys and myself" Barton
said. "Two men, Denham and Clancy,
and their families, are already on the
ground planning to buy 40 acres be-
tween them.
81 will have direct supervision of
their agricultural activities. To be-
gin with we are putting in milo maize
for seed purposes. The main money
crop will be vegetables, which we are
planning to sell in the local market
direct to the consumer. We expect to
have enough dairy cows for our own
use and more"

FIRE RAZES HOME
OF AGED WORKMAN

Fire destroyed the one room home
of Leroy Magner at-Tenth and Palm
avenue about S:15 IT, S morning. Ac-
cording to Magner whp lives by him
self, he got his breakfast, swept out
and left the house about 1880. There
was positively no fire of any kind in
the house and no matches, he said.
After coming down town, Magner
was informed by friend that his
home was in ashes. A neighbor lad
told him that he had seen a couple of
men hanging around after he had left.
Aside from this Magner has no idea
as to how the fire started.
Firemen e,Aimated the loss. at $3.50.
Magner is q pointer, by trade and
we'll along in years. The little home,
his clothes and tools were all COM
pletely consumed by the flames, so
that this evening he is completely des-
titute, without home, money or means
Of livelihood. There was no insurance.

CONSISTENT CONSISTENCY

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, that organization of earnest and
indefatigable workers who have accom-
plished so much good in recent years,
is reaching out for new spheres of pur-
ication..
1t affirms that Sunday is not properly
observed in this country of ours, and it
proposes to inject little more respect
for the Sabbath day into our sinful and
forgetful hearts.
That is good.
The month of April will witness a
great national campaign of white rib
boners against the abuse of Sundays by
automobiling, golfing, baseball games,
moving picture shows, theaters and
dancing.
The climax of the campaign will be a
tremendous drive against the use of to-
bacco, and if the good women are sue
cessful the use of the weed will become
a cardinal sin and will be prohibited by
drastic law.
Good again, if they can put all of
these things over
But the good work should not stop
there. There is still more of vital i'm
port to be accomplished.
Let US extend the ban to include
chewing gum, hair dyes and bleaches,
powder puffs and rouge, corsets and
spiked-heel shoes, ice cream sodas and
chocolate creams, abbreviated dresses
and peek-a-boo hosiery.
That would be equally good-even
better--perhaps best.
The dear women of this country are
noted for their fairness and their con-
sistency. They would never dream of
depriving poor man of his pleasures,
and especially of his pipe, while retain
ing grip upon their own little vanities
and weaknesses for their own deli
cious edification.
American womanhood is the modern
product of emancipation.
She is irresistible, she is invincible,
she sets the pace.
She will purify man by lifting him up
from the depths into which he has mir
ed himself.
But she is too generous, too noble,
too consistent not to Danish her own
little weaknesses at one and the same
sweep.
All power to her mighty but delicate
arm!

CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN
in PUBLIC SCHOOLS

A splendid movement has been start
ed in attempting the cooperation OF
public health and educational depart
ments. DR.. r. M. Olin of the State De-
partments of health has asked that all
the, schools in the state Of Michigan
have a cleanup day this spring. Char
levoix Comfy will meet this request
with one hundred bercent cooperation.
Rural schools will choose the first nice
day nearest to April 1st and on that
day will work in the spirit OF public
health workers, as requested in the
following letter from Doctor Olin.
School officers are requested by the
Doctor to work with the teachers and
schools in making Cleanup Day a
complete success.
TO COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSION
ERS:
With the coming Of Spring, this Depart
ment of the country is urging general
Cleanup of all communities.
In the Clean.ups of past years, we
are of the opinion that the schools have
frequently been neglected. No one
thing will do more to encourage
personal hygiene among the school
children than an authoritative effort on
the part of the school officials to clean
up the school buildings and school
grounds. Unsightly piles of rubbish
and ashes which may have accumulat-
ed about the grounds should be remov-
ed, the buildings thoroughly cleaned
and ventilated, floors and woodwork
cleaned, and, where possible, fresh
paint and varnish should be used.
These efforts will cost but a trifle,
and the results will profit a hundred
fold.
Will you not use your influence with
the local school boards to get something
done in this way for the benefit of the
health and happiness of the commun-
ity?
This Department stands ready to aid
you in any way possible and would ap-
preciate your cooperation.
Very truly yours,
r. N. OLIN, M. D.,
Commission.

POULTRY TEST SHOWS
FARM SLOCK VALUES.

That the average farm poultry flock
in Michigan is money maker II il
is properly bred, fed, housed, and
culled, is the opinion of Prof. c. H.
Burgess, head of the M. A. C. poultry
department. Professor Burgess bases
his statement quite largely on the
results of a demonstration check being
kept at the college at present on hens
selected from various flocks over the
state.
"1n order to show the possibilities Of
the farm flock, when correctly handled,
we gathered together five hens from
each of "a farmers in the state-I20 in
all. These birds came from 16 different
counties, and represent fairly the aver.
age flocks of the state. On november
l, 1920 We started trap nesting on full
years demonstration to determine the
exact production of this representative
group of birds.
A total of 1868 eggs we're gathered
from this flock in the first 1872 days OF
the test Sales at market brought
$471.07 during this period. Total cost
OF feed came to $115.4O, leaving labor
income of s355.67 for the flock, or sz.9e
per hen."
An income of nearly three dollars
from each hen in flock, above feed
cost land during the winter too) sounds
mighty good to Michigan growers.
The college test shows what can be
done with the average flock when the
birds are handled properly.
