CharlevOix Lodge and Other
Visitors Monday Evening.

The men of the compass and square
held forth in our city Monday evening
when Charlevoix Lodge F. and A. M.
together with other visiting brethren
were guests of East Jordan Lodge.
Over seventy visitors were present,
and these with members of the local
lodge, filled their hall to capacity. The
special communication was opened at
seven o'clock, and then recess was
taken, when all repaired to the new
high school building where the banquet
tables were spread and served by the
ladies of the Eastern Star The many
favorable comments by the visitors on
the menu and services attested to the
fact that the ladies knew how to pre-
pare and serve banquet.
Following the banquet, the Masons
returned to the lodge hall, where lodge
was re-opened, and work in the third
degree exemplified. AT its close some
excellent talks were given by those
present, the address by Judge Mayne
being especially good.

MICHIGAN TAKES LEAD
lNRYE PRODUCTION
Tops All Other States With 1920
Yield-Big Growth Credited to
New VaritieS.

Michigan now ranks as "Rye King"
of America, statistics recently released
showing her leading all other states in
the country in the volume of rye pro-
duced during 1920. Fourth or fifth
place in the national ranking had been
Michigan's place until the last two
years. In 1919 Wolverine growers pro-
duced the second greatest state total of
rye, and last season they stepped into
the lead, raising IA percent OF the
country's crop. North Dakota and
Minnesota ranked second and third
respectively.
Much of the credit for this rapid
growth in the state is given Rosen Rye
a remarkably high producing variety
bred at Michigan Agricultural College
and distributed to farmers of the state
during recent years. Entering Rosen
samples chiefly. Michigan farmers

in the rye classes at last falls Interna-

Handsome Check
Writer Pinched
Officers Believe They Have Mys-
terious Mrs. Josephine Stark.

A woman giving her name as Mrs.
Clyde Potter, and believed by police to
have passed worthless checks in a
number of Michigan cities, was arrest
ed at Sturgis, Mich, late Friday and
taken to Lansing to face charge of
victimizing number of local merchants.
Officers believe the woman is none
other than the mysterious Mrs. Jose
phine Stark, first heard of at Petoskey
last summer when she swindled a
number of Petoskey, Boyne City, and
Charlevoix store and resort owners.
She was last heard of at Corunna
where she escaped after defraudiug
Corunna merchants out of about $500
In southern Michigan this spring the
woman was accompanied by man she
alleged was her husband, and little
boy. She was also accompanied by a
young woman about twenty four years
of age.
In each city she worked the same
scheme. She would make deposit in
the local bank and then pay her bills
by check. After securing the conf
dence of the dealers she would flood
the town with checks, making small
purchases and paying with checks for
large sums. Before these could be re-
turned through the clearing house she
would withdraw her bank deposit and
disappear.

STATE TO AID in
GRASSHOPPER WAR

State aid for farmers in the war
against the grasshopper pest was grant
ed by the recent legislature with the
appropriation of $4,000, to be used to
reimburse counties for one-half the
money spent for poison-bait.
Because of the seriousness OF the
pest during the past season, the Ent-
mology Department Of the Michigan
Agricultural College is urging counties
in the grasshopper region to be pre-
pared for a probably similar outbreak
this year. The work in each county is
to be in charge OF man appointed by
the county supervisors, who in most
cases will probably be the county agent.

Garden Notes
(By M. A. C. Horticultural Dept.)

Tomato plants may be set as soon as
all danger of frost is over. The usual
planting distance is feet each way for
the early varieties such as Earliana,
and 4x5 or 5x5 feet for the later, more
vigorous growing sorts. If the plants
are to be trained to stakes, set them
about two feet apart in rows feet
apart. 1t is some trouble to tie and
train the plants to stakes, but they
bear little earlier and the fruit is
more easily picked and sprayed.
Ii there is danger of cut worms at
tacking plants after they are set in the
garden, the plants may be protected by
placing collar of heavy paper around
the stem, allowing it to extend about
an inch below the soil and covering the
stem 2 or inches above the soil. In
large gardens, where it is impracticable
to use paper collars, poison bran mash
may be used with good effect.
1t is not too late to sow seeds OF late
cabbage and cauliflower, but don't
wait too long. Early, well-grown
plants are essential for good crops.
Don't be satisfied with few messes
OF sweet corn. Make successive plant
ings of Golden Bantam at intervals OF
ten days or two weeks until July and
be sure OF a continuous supply through
out the season. Plant enough now to
furnish supply for canning and dry
ing.
Plant cucumbers, melons and squash
es in rich warm soil. 1t is a good plan
to put shovelful of well rotted stable
manure in the bottom of each hill.
If you are fond of cut flowers, there
is nothing more suitable for the pur-
pose than the gladiolus. Plant few
now and some later to furnish a good
supply.

BONUS BILLS TO
COME UP MAY "a
GOVERNOR GROESBECK ISSUES
CALL FOR EXTRA SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE.
BONUS MACHINERY NOW READY
Bonds Already Being Printed and Dis
tribution of Application Blanks
Already Started.

Lansing-A call was issued late last
week for the special session Of the leg
islature to convene May "a to pass an
enabling act providing the machinery
for paying the soldiers bonus.
May "a is the earliest possible time
the legislature could meet in special
session. The final adjournment Of
the regular session will be May 10,
and several days are required to COM
plete the work Of the clerk and
printers before another session can
commence.
The call did not specify the subjects
that are to be laid before the legisla-
ture. The governor plans to send a
message when the legislature con-
venes, laying before it the matters
he considers most urgent. Other mes
sages opening new subjects for the
legislatures consideration may be
sent from time to time.
The Dacey bonus bill introduced
during the regular session by Repre-
sentative Vincent p Dacey, of Detroit,
will be the first measure considered.
1t will probably be passed before the
end of the first week of the session.
No important amendments have been
suggested to the original measure,
which provides the necessary machin-
cry for paying the bonus in the short
est time possible.
The administrative board and the
adjutant general have already pro-
ceeded along the lines laid down in
this bill. the bonds having been order
ed printed and the application blanks
to be used by the veterans being prac-
tically ready to be distributed late
this week The auditor generals de-
partment has ordered special "open
face" envelopes to speed up the work
of sending out the bonus checks.
This delay is necessary so that
there can be no question as to the le-
gality of the bond issue, the advertise
ment of the sale being printed a suffi-
cient number of days after the pas
sage of the act.
