CHECKS ON CRIME SEEN
in MOTORCYCLE
Crooks Speeding In Auto Get Short
Shift.

With Maryland joining the ranks
of States equipped with State con-
stabulary mounted on motorcycles,
attention is again focused on the
motorbike and the part it plays in
the nations daily affairs.
Of late it seems to have become a
daily occurrence over the country
for bandits and others of their like
to use the automobile for extending
their operations almost at will in
broad day light, but police depart
ments are effectively coping with
many of these situations through
the use of the speedy and quick-to-
get away motorcycle.
According to the Firestone Tire &
Rubber Company, a review of the
situation indicates that whereas
criminals appear to becoming more
daring than ever there is no abnor-
NAL increase in the number of
crimes thus committed but in many
cases the offenses are SO spectacular
as TO leave the impression of a YER
liable crime wave. AS a matter of
fact there is no doubt that the motor
cycle police play a great part In
keeping within bounds the element
relying on quick getaway as their
only salvation.
With the State, most important
city, and many rural communities.
maintaining motorcycle police, the
crook is being kept on the run, while
the joy rider, intoxicated and care
less drivers, also are being kept
within bounds.
Nor, the Firestone Company re-
port concludes, are the police alone
in adopting the motorcycle for emer-
gency, for the speedy two-wheelers
are fast coming into general use by
hospitals sending first aid, post Of
fees, telegraph and messenger SER
vice, drug stores filling prescrip-
tiOns, other store delivery, caterers
with hot meals, while several fire de-
partments maintain motorcycle
and sidecar for quick work with their
chemical apparatus.
With registration continuing to
mount and the many everyday needs
of the motorcycle becoming more
and more apparent. a very bright
outlook is seen for the industry.

Governor Receives
Unusual Present

It's great TO sit in the seats of the
Mighty, for the Mighty never can tell
what they will draw next. Yester-
day Governor Richie got present
of a ~ Fsssshing machine az souvenir
of Frances liberty, equality and
fraternity, which is celebrated an
nually on July IA, the anniversary of
the fall of the Bastille.
The pincipal observance was held
last night in the Maryland Academy
of Science in Baltimore, with ad-
dresses by the French consul and
other prominent members Of Balti-
more's French colony, but it is un-
derstood that neither the Governor
nor the washing machine were pres
ent at this happy occasion.
The why and wherefore OF the
gift have not as yet been explained,
unless the washing machine is look
ed on as a symbol of French thrift
and practicalness-at any rate, it's
nice to get a present, though it is
not yet known just what use the
Governor will make of this one.

love and hate, approaches to the great
gate and beholds her Prince. She
adores him; she worships him. Her
thoughts are interrupted by the voice
OF the messenger who is to carry the
plans of the invasion to Cyrus. By a
clever ruse she lures the carrier of the
High Priest of Bel into an inn and be-
guiles him until, boastingly, he tells
her everything.
She spies upon the army of Cyrus as
it leaves on its night journey of de-
struction, and seizing a chariot and
horses she gallops ahead to warn Bel
shazzar, arriving in Babylon while the
greatest banquet in all history still is in
its height. But amid the feasting and
wine and revelry the message of the
mountain girl is not believed; her
warning is not taken. With the on
rush of the army of Cyrus, the huge
gates give way, the mighty forts are
brushed down, the palaces are set
allre-aHu BABYLON IallS.
To avoid being taken by the enemy,
Belshazzar dies by his own hand, with
no one near him in his last hour but
the little mountain girl who loved him
and tried to save him. She holds his
hands and kisses the dying lips, while
the last blare from the trumpets of
Cyrus falls upon her ears.
The little mountain girl wanders into
the desert, alone and forsaken, her
wild spirit crushed by the death of the
Prince. Then love comes to her gen.
tly, softly, as the boy who sang songs
to her slips his hand in hers and leads
her back to her country home. There
solace and happiness are found in the
love of the Rhapsode.

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

Nothing pays better than thorough
soil preparation for vegetable crops.
A fine, deep, well-firmed seed bed is
essential
Early planting is one of the secrets
TO success in growing head lettuce.
May King and Mignonette are good
early varieties for the home garden.
Try Big Boston or California Cream for
late.
Melons and cucumbers planted now
in pots, berry boxes, or inverted sods
should be about the proper size for set
ting in the garden any time after May
25th.
Smooth seeded varieties OF garden
peas are best for extra early planting
The wrinkled seeded sorts should be
planted little later. Try these for a
succession: Alaska, first early Ameri-
can Wonder, Motifs Excelsior, Gradus,
Champion of England (requires some
support.)
Early planted radishes often escape
the maggets. Scarlet Globe, White
Icicle and Scarlet Turnip White Tipped
are good.
Don't leave a heavy mulch on the
strawberry bed too long. The plants
may smother. 1t is not necessary to
remove the mulch entirely from the
bed; simply pull it away from over the
tops of the plants into the row.
Don't let the weather fool you. The
average date for the last killing frost in
southern Michigan is about May 10th.
Don't plant beans and other tender
crops too early.

"The Fall
OF Babylon
Biz Feature Attraction at Tenn.
pie Theatre, Next Thursday.

David Wark Griffith's story "The
Fall of Babylon" which will be shown
at the Temple Theatre Thursday, April
2Sth., is that of brilliant people who
were dust when the Gentle Carpenter
was born; who hungered for love and
food and happiness-even as you and |.
They built a marvellous city, Babylon
the Mighty, with massive walls and
stately palaces that only treachery could
reduce.
When the story begins Babylon, 539
B. c. two religious factions are fight
ing each other. The great High Priest
of Belize of the cold, stern religion,
intolerant and hard and bitter-is jea-
lous of the worship by the Babylonians
of Ishtar, Goddess of Love.
Prince Belshazzar and his father,
King Nabonidus. reign upon the throne
of Babylon. They have songs and
prayers of rejoicing for Ishtar. The
High Priest of Bel looks upon the rev.
elry with hatred and bitterness. He
has great power. He puts his guards
in control of the gates and bribes sew
eral of the kings guards to join his for
ces. He plots to send messenger to
Cyrus, King of the Persians, and have
him bring his mighty army to Babylon
and destroy the city, and so avenge
himself on Belshazzar and Ishtar. A
trusted young man is sent, Cyrus
agrees and chariots and horses are
made ready for the siege.
But young mountain girl comes to
the city to buy dress. After she has
traded her apples and other fruits for
the coveted garment, she sets about to
view the city of Babylon. She is seen
by young poet, the Rhapsode. Her
country ways and her wild nature ap-
peal to him and he whispers love into
her ears and sings little songs of youth
and happiness.
In playful romp the little mountain
pirl ventures afar. She is seen by a
merchant of the Marriage Market, cap
tured and placed among the maidens
to be sold in the open mart.
Prince Belshazzar in all his glory, ac-
companied by attendants Of the court,
happens by the Marriage Market in
time to see the predicament of the
short. curled, beautiful, warm-eyed girl
from the country. He is angered at
her captivity. She is Immediately re-
leased and Belshazzar places upon her
upturned hand the seal of freedom. In
the one fleeting glance the grateful girl
receives from the Prince a spark of
love is kindled in her heart. She for
gets about her poet-lover and seeks to
know more about Belshazzar.
The Feast of Belshazzar is in pro-
gress. The mountain girl, standing far
off, adventurous, hoydenish, strong in

The Farm Accounting schools were
held according to schedule last week.
MIR. w. j. Kurtz, emphasized the diff
erence between bookkeeping and Farm
Accounting. Good Farm Accounting,
not only giving basis for computing
losses or gains, but also furnishing a
valuable study on which farm opera
tons, the loss or gain is made. The
schools were fairly well attended and
excellent interest displayed.
The call for Agreement Blanks for
the cattle testing work, was so heavy
that we run out of blanks in the middle
OF last week. A telegram soon brought
another supply and we have plenty on
hand at the present time. Remember
that you can get yours by calling at the
County Agents office or by dropping
the County Agent postal card. We
are promised that the veterinary will
be in the county In about two weeks to
begin the work. The blanks must first
be sent to Lansing, and those waiting
to sign up when the veterinary comes,
will not get in on the first test.
Word just received at this office stat
es that thirty carloads of wool, approx
imately a trainload, and representing
half million pounds of wool from the
state farm bureau pool were
sold last week to a great eastern cloth
ing mill, with which the farm bureau
wool pool has connections. Direct sale
to the mill Of properly graded wool in
such quantities, without any commiss-
ions accruing to one or several in
between dealers, netted farm bureau
members several cents additional on
the pound. Growers are asked to COM
pare the system with what the local buy
ers have to offer The wool sold as fol-
lows 3-8 blood q cents, IA blood 26 cents,
short combing woods 21 cents. Such
direct selling connections with mills as
noted above are tremendous asset. The
farm bureau has several such. Last
week representative from an eastern
firm with eight great woolen mills call
ed at the farm bureau wool pool head
quarters and opened negotiations lead
ing to connection with his mill. The
mills are anxious to get high class wool
and the farm bureau has it, Producer
to mill, wool properly graded and sold
to the best advantage, means more
money in the growers pocket. Six
thousand checks have been mailed to
growers to date as an initial ten cents
per pound payment on their 1920 wool,
on the cheaper grades only. More are
coming. Sales now being made on
mediums and Delaines. Reports from
field men indicate that the 1921 wool
pool may exceed the 1920 pool by more
than 100000 pounds. The last of the
1920 wool pool will be graded by May1.
New wool is coming in. Grading starts
in Eaton county May 1. We expect to
have grading station at Charlevoix
this year the exact date to be announ-
ed later.

BOUND AND LEFT TO STARvE
Aged Mans Body Found at Farm
Where He Lived Alone.

South Haven, Mich.-Henry c. Ger
ling had lived alone in his farm house
near Watervliet, Mich, for seven
years. On the night, probably, of April
z, he was in bed when his home was
entered. He was robbed, his hands
and feet tied together and he was left
in his bedroom. His body was found
several days later.
Deputy sheriffs discovered on let
ter box at the home of Martin Webb,
half a mile from the Gerling farm, this
message: go and unite Henry Ger
ling"
While it will require an autopsy to
decide just what caused death, it is
believed that, unable to free himself,
Gerling, who was an old man, prob
ably starved.

Finny Tribe In Cold Weather.

All fish do not hibernate during the
winter. Some species find homes in
holes or beneath rocks and roots and
get along very well without food dur
ing the cold weather, but they are not
torpid like the bears and groundhogs
that hibernate. Most of the fish swim
about in the cold water and gather a
living in winter just as they do In
summer, but none of them requires 20
