County School Commissioner, May l..
Stewart, has received information from
G. w. Dickinson, Secretary, Manage,
that the Michigan State Fair will con-
duct the coming year its annual Boys
State Fair School upon a larger basis
than ever before.
In every county of the state, COM
petitive examinations will be held, and
the boys who show the greatest pro-
ficiency in agricultural studies will be
given trip to the Fair at Detroit at
the expense of the FAIR Association.
AT the Fair, they will be given in
struction by the States foremost agri-
cultural experts on the best and most
modern methods of agriculture. The
Michigan State Fair has conducted this
school for years as a contribution to-
ward agricultural education. Expenses
OF the boys from the most distant
counties of the state have been large
but have been cheerfully met.
The rules under which the free trip
may be won are in part as follows:
Boys must be between the ages of IA
and IS years of age; effective date
September 1, 1921.
They must write both in the regular
eighth grade examination and the
special Fair examination.
The winner will be selected by the
County School Commissioner, Board of
Examiners, or special committee. An
alternate will also be selected.
Every effort is being made to have
the Fair examination questions entire
ly practical. 1t will 90 into the actual
problems of the farm from every angle.
Theoretical and practical phases will be
jointly studied. A boy who can sue
cessfully answer the questions, it is
said, must show a pretty thorough
knowledge of all phases Of farm life.
AT the Fair, the management will see
that the boys have good time as well
as instruction in agriculture.

SALVATION ARMY
DRIVE NOW ON
Efforts Being Made to Raise
County's Quota of $4,000.

If the Salvation Army appeal for
$255, 900, May to II, is success, hun.
dreds Of tired mothers and "kiddies'
in the state will be happy.
The success of the appeal means thai
500 of the state fund will be used
in erecting state fresh air camp where
poor mothers and youngsters will be
given 10 days outing during the hot
summer months.
Brigadier Samuel Withers, divisional
commander for the Salvation Army in
Michigan, already is planning the camp
The camp will be little colony oi
cottages; have proper sanitation and
accommodate between 500 and 600 moth.
ers and children during the season.
There will also be a bathing beach
where the smallest "kiddie" can enjoy
the pleasures of the 'ol' swimmin' ol' u
To insure the camp and the continu.
alton and extension of the 16 major
activities Of the Army in Michigan, the
full $255, 900 must be raised. Charlevoix
county's quota is $4,000. This amount
is small compared to the service rem.
dered by the Salvation Army, but only
the actual needs have been provided
for in the state budget.
Mr.. Borden of Boyne City is chair.
man of the local county committee and
already has large organization which
has swung into action this week to
raise the county quota.

E. J. Loses
State Contest
Kalamazoo Normal High School
Successful in Close Contest.

The East Jordan High School, which
had won nine straight debates so fan
this year, lost the final debate at Ann
Arbor, Wednesday evening, May 4, tc
Kalamazoo Normal High School in
what was generally considered by
University people to be the best High
School debate ever heard at Ann Arb.
or. The debate was very close-iu
fact the judges stated that it was SC
close that there was practically nc
choice between the sides.
The Kalamazoo team had defeated
every thing in southern Michigan and
possessed one speaker who was Ger.
tainly effective. The local boys gave
a splendid account of themselves in
both constructive and rebuttal speech
es-in fact they did as well as they had
ever done. Each team gets cup with
the names of the debaters engraved
thereon.
Many schoolmen from cities in SOU
thern Michigan came to Ann Arbor to
hear the debate and it was the general
consensus of opinion that East Jordan
had fully as good team as Kalamazoo.
The University professors who were
associated with the Michigan High
School Debating League took particular
pains to show the boys splendid time.
The team consisted of Arthur Secord,
Floyde Liskum and Paul Franseth.
Gayle Hudkins, who always appeared
on the negative side, accompanied the
team.
The boys went by way of Detroit and
spent Wednesday forenoon in seeing
some of the prominent points of inter-
est in Michigan's big city.

EAST JORDAN HIGH
DEFEATS CHARLEVOIX

The local high school won a rather
one-sided bareball game last Friday
afternoon from Charlevoix, at Charlie
voix. John Gunderson again starred
for the local team and the playing of
Hockstad, on first base, was particular
ly commendable. So far this year,
Hockstad has not made an error on
first base and he has been hitting very
satisfactorily. East Jordan got nine
hits and twelve runs, while Charlevoix
got two hits and four runs. The fact
that both teams got more runs than
hits indicates that outside of the pitch
ing both teams need to make some
Improvement. Gunderson struck out
sixteen Charlevoix players and Cum
ningham got nine strike-outs.
East Jordan will play Mancelona at
Mancelona this week.

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

Plant seed for the late cabbage crop
at once. See that the seed bed is fine
and moist. Danish Ballhead is the
most popular variety for winter stor-
age. Drumhead Savoy is high quail
ty variety and is excellent for the home
garden.
The first early paintings Of garden
peas are growing well now. Time to
make another planting of the mid-sea-
son and late sweet wrinkle seeded
sorts. Allow 18 to "a inches between
the rows for the dwarf varieties. The
tall late varities need at least or I
feet between rows. These should be
provided with brush, wire netting, or
something similar, for support.
Start the cultivator going early. It
conserves moisture and means bigger
and better crops.
Have you ever grown Swiss Chard
for greens? It's better than beets.
The leaves may be picked all summer.
Fine for canning. A row Is or 20 feet
long will provide seasons supply for
an ordinary family. Lucullus is the
best variety.
For slugs on roses there is nothing
better than thorough spraying or
busting with arsenate of lead.
Most people sow seed too thickly,
consequently many crops require some
thinning. When the plants Of lettuce,
radishes, onions, beets, carrots, etc.,
are about 2 inches high, they should be
thinned until only the best remain,
about or 3 inches apart. Thinning
allows the plants to develop larger
roots, gives the sunlight chance, and
better plants result.

PrOfiteerS
Still Busy
Jobbers and Brokers Keep
Hands on Throat of Retail Mer-
chant.

Below article, taken from the Sagin.
aw press, indicates that exorbitani
prices on many commodities still pre-.
vail throughout the country.
"While the fight is still going on
against profiteering in the general
commodities OF life it has only left a
slight dent in the robbery prices mark
ed on goods presented for sale by
merchants throughout the United Sta
tes.
Warnings and cries have gone up
from every available source and now
comes the announcement by Secretary
Hoover from Washington that he has
in mind publication and distribution of
fair price lists by the government as a
guide to consumers in the cost of COM
modities. Should this fair price list
come into the hands of Saginaw con-
sumers it will be surprising to compare
the price of mems suits priced at $50 to
500 while the entire amount of wool
in these suits is sold today in Michigan
for "a. Who gets the difference and
how is it divided? Then too you can
see shoes displayed at $40 to SIS pair
while the leather in them does not cost
SOC with cowhides selling at 81 so to 50
with enough leather to make four to
eight pair of such shoes.
"Cotton goods are displayed in Sag
inaw today selling at 81 to $3.50 per
yard under the name of silk worm
cloth or some other imaginary name
when the cotton in a yard of these
goods does not bring sc on the market
and the cotton planter of the South
cannot make enough out of his produc-
ton to buy lasses and corn.
Similar citations can be followed all
the way down the line including mater
ials for building such as a porcelain
water sink selling for $40 to $25 while
the cost of material and manufacture
does not exceed IS.
"Wlth sugar at pre-war price the
retail charge for candy is held at the
old listing.
"The retailers are just in the same
boat as the consumers as the high-wat-
er price mark comes on the goods
when they come from the jobbers
Therefore the blame for present high
prices is all traced to the manufacturer
and jobber and this is the source which
Secretary Hoover is endeavoring to
remedy by the publication of price lists
as no plan has been found to get after
the profiteers in any other way"

BAD MOTORCYCLE
ACCIDENT
From Boyne Cltizen)


Lyle Townsend, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed Townsend of East Main street, was
the victim of a serious accident Sunday
which might easily have resulted fatal
ly. While riding on his motorcycle on
the East Jordan road, and while de-
scending the long hill about three miles
this side of East Jordan, he was pre-
cipitated from the motorcycle and was
later found in an unconscious condi-
tion by the driver of passing auto
mobile and Immediately rushed to
East Jordan. DR.. Dicken was quickly
summoned and dressed the lads
wounds, after which he was removed
to the home of his aunt, Mrs. Meredith
where in short time he regained
consciousness. Young Townsend has
no recollection of how the accident oc-
cured, but as the front wheel of the
motorcycle was completely wrecked,
it is believed the wheel suddenly COL
lapsed while he was coasting down the
hill at considerable speed, thus precipi-
tating him to the road bed with great
force. Mr.. Townsend, Lyle's father,
who was returning to Boyne City from
Charlevoix by way of East Jordan was
very much surprised and shocked to
learn of his sons condition when he
reached East Jordan and Immediately
brought the boy in his car to their
home here where he is resting as COM
fortably as could be expected.

This is an opportune time to get q
start in good high-yielding strain of
Petoskey Golden Russets. One Of the
finest kind of potatoes is begging for
buyer and can be obtained practically
for the asking. There is no excuse Of
planting inferior or mixed seed potatoes.
The cost of production of raising a
bushel of potatoes is inversely related
to the yield per acre. He, therefore,
who finds this crop the most profitable
to grow, is the one who secures the
best yields. The potato grower has
gone wrong when he attempts to put
in larger acreage than he can proper
ly prepare the ground for, properly
plant, or properly spray and take care
OF. Small acreages and big yields are
the aim to work for in the potato in
dustry.
The average yield for Charlevoix
County is estimated to be slightly over
one hundred bushels per acre, but wa
have the soil and climate to produce
an average of better than two hundred
bushels per acre. The potato crop
should occupy definite and fixed
place in the farm rotation. The best
yields and quality demand that six to
eight years elapse before potatoes are
planted on the same field again. In
the meantime the field should be into
clover or alfalfa a good share of the
time, with at least one good application
of manure applied most advantageous
ly the summer before the potato crop.
We believe we are rapidly coming to
high pressure spraying. not only with
the usual insecticides, but with good
homemade Bordeaux mixture. To
compete profitably with other sections
where high yields are obtained, we
must see to it that potatoes have fix
ed place in the farm crop rotation plan
and that the field is properly prepared
for the crop. We must also know that
our seed potatoes are of the best qua
lity and free from all diseases.
