Rates And Prosperity

The rate of freight paid on a bu.
of grain, a car of cattle, a car of
coal or hamper of tomatoes has a
direct and vital bearing on the pros
perity Of the country. The most i'm
portant factor in The present high
prices is the high cost of transpcrta-
ton. If the streets of New York
and Chicago are congested. and Jer-
" Jones is compelled to stop often
1t the behest of The traffic officer, the
prices Of dry goods, cloth ng, fruits
or whatever it may be tina. Jerry
Jones is hauling is higher because of
1he delay. If the farmers Of St.
Louis must pay a high rate for the
shipment of their goods, those goods
com ng into competition with similar
crops from nearer markets, sell at
a lower price, because it costs so
much TO get them to market. If the
rate of freight is lower, the price to
the farmer will be higher. The rail-
road wages have been lowered-and
it is high time something was done
about the freight rates, which affect
every family in every state.-St.
Louis Leader.

United States. The first night of his
arrival the newcommer is assigned
to the big immigrant hotel, main

upon stew known as "puchero", the
national food With it comes gar
banzas", a small pea indigeous TO
this land, "mate'' or Paraguay tea,
served in place Of coffee, and bread
made in true South American fa-
shion. that is, in hard crusty rolls.
This hotel was erected near the de-
barkation station about 10 years ago
and since that time has served as
high at 5000 immigrants per day,
during the rush season. They are
fed. given beds, provided with free
transportation and made to feel at
home. Their first form of entertain
ment is a geography lesson by means
Of motion pictures, showing various
parts Of the country and types OF
employment. Thus their conversa-
tion into Argentinos begins early.

OLD D0BBlN'S KEEP
NEAR SITS PER YEAR

1t vii cost the average Michigan
farmer about seventy dollaIs less to
keep a horse next year than it did
during the twelve months ending
May /, 1921. according to s.atist cs
Just released by H. NJ. Eliot, head Of
the farm management depar ment at
the Michigan Agricultural College,
at Lans ng.
Direct cost of upkeop averaged
$163 a horse last year, while S94 is
given as the average expense per
animal on the basis Of present feed
prices. Statistics upon which these
est mates are based were gathered
on a so-called farm accounting route
in WAYNE and Monroe counties. A
careful check on 1iS horses on %
different farms was kept by a field
man from the COLLEGE. who cooperated
with the individual farmers in keep
ing records. The data was comp led
by F. T. Riddell. Of the NJ. A. c. eX-
pertinent station.
Items entering into direct costs on
horse maintenance included: grain
(oats and corn) S5691; roughage
(corn stover. hay m xed. pasture and
bedding) S10591; miscellaneous (de-
creased inventory, horse purchases,
depreciation. etc. S25 Is. From this
total was deducted s11.03 for horse
sales and S13.74 for manure value,
leaving the cost per animal $163. In
addition, the average investment per
horse and equipment is placed al
S15S by the college statisticians.
Man labor to keep single horse
for a year is placed at 93.5 hours
with &c cents an hour the average
wage.
Similar cost accounting work or
gas power and other general farm
costs is being carried out by the col.
lepe and results for comparatiy,
work will lie available in the nesl
future.

Arrest Sand Lake Garageman

Tom Kinney, garage proprietor
over at Sand Lake, was arrested on
Saturday charged with a violation
of the liquor laws. He was taken to
Grand Rapids and aya1gned anhi
demanded an examination, which was
set for Friday of this week. The
general opinion seems to be that Kin
ney has been engaged in the illicit
liquor traffic more or less ever since
the state went dry and that he has
cleaned up a considerable bunch of
money in it. The officers have been
laying for him on this charge for
long time and have always been un-
able to secure evidence strong enough
for conviction. This time they are
sure that they have the man who is
responsible for a lot of the drunk
enness among some of the young
men in and around Sand La ke and
they are hopeful that he will be con-
victed and get a sentence strong
enough to serve as a warning to 9TH
ers engaged in the Illicit traffic OF
selling moonshine.

TIME LIMIT IS SET
FOR TRAINING Of

EX-SERVICE MEN WHO DESIRE
TRAINING MUST MAKE
APPLICATION

The Federal Board for vocational
education in this district, which com
prises the states of Illinois, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, has been in
structed by Washington, ID. c. that
the 9th Congress has placed time
limit for the acceptance of vocation
al training under the Vocat onal
Rehabilitation Act
The Act, Public Act No 49,,
making appropriations to supply de-
ficiencles in appropriations for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1921, and
prior fiscal years and for other pur-
poses, approved June 16, 1921, con-
tains the following provisions.
THAT any person entitled, under
the prov sions Of the Vocational Re
habilitation Act asa mended to take
vocational training must make appli-
cation therefor within 18 months
from the date Of the approval of
this Act"
No applications for vocational
training under the Vocational Rehab-
ilitation Act, from persons disabled
in service in any way, can be consid-
cred unless submitted prior TO De-
cember 16, 1922. This statement will
be interpreted to mean any written
application from such person ex-
pressing a desire for vocational
training under the provisions Of the
Rehabilitation Act. If any applica-
tons from disabled ex-service per-
sons are received on or before De-
cember 16, 1922, they will be given
consideration on their merits with
out reard to the time limitation.
In view of the fact that there are
great number of disabled ex-service
men in this district who have already
been approved for training but have
not as yet signified their desire to
accept the benefits of such training,
the Federal Board is at this time
urging these men to seriously con-
slider the question of vocational
training. Any communications ad-
dressed to the District Office, Ia f.
Congress ST., Chicago, will receive
prompt attention.
Besides these men who have al
ready been approved for training and
have not as yet accepted, there are
many thousand in the three states
who are eligible for vocational train
ing for same. These men are urged
to make application for training
