NATIONS DEBT TO PILGRIMS

~, Rightly Treasured az a Great
- State Document

In the harbor at the tip Of Cape
God occurred the first birth and the
FIRST death among the Pilgrims In
America. On board the Mayfower, as
she lay at anchor, was born PEREZ
CRIME, son Of William and Susanna
White. Here was another child for
the ships nursery, already occupied by
little Oceanus Hopkins, who first saw
the light of day far out at sea.
The death was that of Dorothy May,
wife Of William Bradford, future gov
ernor Of Plymouth colony. She was
crowned.
First Of Importance, however, Of
ali that occurred here, and also In
the sequence of events, was the draw
ing up and signing Of the famous COM
pact of government, originally desig-
mated by Bradford In his history as "a
comb nation" And SO 1t was, In the
most literal sense, a combination.
This agreement, made In writing by
little group of Englishmen who had

much as one Of three great documents.
The other two are the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution Of
the United States.

Reqone Dull Facts.

Two friendly little neighbors, aged
respectively Az and years. recently
seated themselves on the curbstOne
near my windows for a religious dis
cuSsion. 1t seemed they had over
heard some grown-ups repeating a
recent prophecy Of a certain sect as to
the Imminent end Of the world and
were greatly exercised at the report.
The elder child, a fair-haired skeptlc
from northern state, scornfully de-
clared that he didn't believe the story !;
but the swarthy, dark-eyed little Texan
solemnly asserted: Eyes, it's true; ]
know It's true fob this mo'nin' /

doesn't know one letter of the alpha
bet from another, but he refuses to be
pinned down to vulgar facts when his
spirit wishes to soar. Are children

Managers of Cooperative Elevators
Meet.
From The Farm Bureau News.

Managers of the SO odd elevators
in the Elevator Exchange, and repre-
sentatives of number of prospective
members, met at the College on Jan
uary 18th. The actual workings of
the Exchange were discussed by Mr..
Tenant, Manager Of the Exchange,
Mr.. Bateman, Salesman, Mr.. Wiley,
Organization Manager, and Mr..
Cribs Of the Marketing Dept. of the
College,. Questions, both verbal and
written, relative to the details of the
Exchange were frequent, and did
much to put the position of this great
Department of the State Farm Bu-
reau squarely before those in attend
ance.
1t was a great day for cooperation
in Michigan, and those who heard the
talks, especially by Mr.. Tenant and
Mr.. Bateman, relative to the opera

the value of this form of marketing
for the farmer.
