owner OF the Aver tract. The Galster
Davis hunting camp is on this holding
The transaction, which involves one
OF the finest tracts of timber in the
state, compromises 272,OOO acres in
Houghton. Iron, Gogebic, Ontonagor
and Keweenaw counties. Most OF the
land is of excellent soil for farming anc
will be made available for settlers a.
fast as logging is completed.

YOU AND YOUR TOWN

Your town boosts you. Why not do
as well by the town as it does by you?
No citizen is so powerful, none SO
humble, but what the town is an aid to
him in some way or other.
The food that he eats, the clothes that
he wears, the recreation and amuse.
ments that he enjoys all originate in the
town, because the money with which
they are procured is made there.
When fellow boosts his own town
he does not stop there. He is perform.
ing an act that improves his own con.
dition, for every good word and every
good deed has its elevating influence
A few people are always home town
boosters. They accomplish much in
the way Of community betterment, and
this improves the condition of not only
themselves, but also Of those who dc
no boosting at all.
II every citizen would constitute him
self or herself home town booster the
result collectively would be many time.
as great, and opportunities for self i'm.
provement would be more numerous
Think II over in your odd moments
Then get into the boost wagon ant
hit the pace.

Prof. j. F. Cox and j. r. Duncan of the
M. A. c. Farm Crops department.
Complete pictured illustrations of all
subjects taken up in the pamphlet is a
feature reported to add greatly to its
practical value.
Corn growing is one of Michigan s
greatest industries, its value being
greater than that OF any other crop pro-
duced in the state" says Professor
Cox in the introduction to the bulletin.
'The production Of corn compares fav-
orably with Michigans leading indust.
ries. The value OF the corn crop ap-
proximately equals the total annual
output Of Michigan's copper mines, or
iron mines, and exceeds the value OF
her furniture industry in normal years.
The average state production of corn
for the last Is years has been So, ,OOO, 600
bushels Year. The crop was valued
at between eighty and ninety million
dollars in the year 1919.

SCHOOL LEGISLA-
TIVE PROGRAM

The Michigan State Teachers Associ-
alton is working for better schools, bet
ter teachers, equal school opportunities
for all, and more democratic school.
In order to obtain better schools, the
association hopes to improve the rural
schools through consolidation, a longer
school term, closer supervision, and
better school buildings. The village
and small town schools are to be i'm
proved through consolidation and bet.
ter school buildings. For both Of the
above better legislation is necessary.
In order to obtain better teachers il
will be necessary 10 require higher
minimum requirments for teachers
certificates, increased state aid for nor
NAL schools. together with legislation
permitting the building of teacherages
in the districts of the state.
To provide equal school opportunities
for all, consolidation should be encour-
aged. At present the city schools have
better facilities than those the coun.
try. The tax burden of the state
should be equalized SO that smaller
areas and poorer sections Of the coun.
try may be relieved Of excessive taxa
ton in performing their educational
duty toward the state.
The school should be made more
democratic by allowing all electors to
take part in school control and by for.
bidding through more rigid laws the or,
ganization of sonorities and fraternities

Patrons Ass'nin
Rural Schools
New Organization in Practically
Every District.

Through the splendid cooperation Of
the teachers and interested taxpayers
Of the school districts of the county, a
new organization has been made pos
sible in practically every district. This
new organization is q combination OF
old time Mothers Club, the Parent.
teacher Association and the old-time
Literary club which more nearly res
embles the Modern Community Center.
The work of the club is that OF the first
two mentioned, namely bringing the
home and the school closer together.
The ultimate aim of the club is better
schools. The aim is to be sought
through a better understanding of
school problems both in the process OF
instruction and in the building and
equipment provided, and through team
work for better school laws.
The following list of presidents has
been reported ready for work, each
working in his or her own way to meet

INTRODUCING Mr.. TOBIN

Edward j. Tobin, superintendent OF
the public schools OF Cook County, II.
linois, apparently thinks more Of COM
mon sense than he does Of the criti-
cisms of his brother and sister educa-
tors.
Mr.. Tobin, man of courage in hide
bound environment, has authorized his
teachers to make use of the expressions
"He don't" and otis me-" Ninety per
cent Of all educated people, he claims,
use these same "ungramaticap express
sions in every day life.
"What good does it do to teach school
children form of expression that is
outlawed by common usage and by a
sense Of good form?" he asks, refer.
ring to at is l."
What good, indeed?
Tobin should be in the newspaper
game, where editors kick antiquated
grammers into the discard and adop,
their own forms Of speech, keeping
both feet on the ground and the editor
ial eye on the pulse Of the people.

THAT CITY STUEE

City newspapers and moving picture
films are becoming filled with sensa-
tional sex stuff.
The reason is simple.
The average city mind runs 10 that
direction and demands what il wants.
The city news paper that caters most
to the popular demand gets the circula-
ton, and cirulation gets the advertis-
ing, and advertising supplies the divi-
dends.
The same rule applies to the cinoma
houses.
A good, healthy, elevating picture
will draw few people, but sensation
al sex or murder film will fill the
house. Moving picture men are after
the money, and they employ the means
that they know will produce it.
Country districts have not become so
badly tainted with moderism. The
people are more in the open, are often
er in communion with nature, and
breathe more freely of the purity of life
away from the dens of vice and iniquity.
That is the situation today, but who
can tell as to the morrow?
It depends upon the mental and NOR
al training of our young people.
The ideas we instil into the minds of
little children will have much to do
with the bent Of their mentality when
they reach the age Of maturity.
II we implant in their minds heal
thy respect for the teachings of Christi
anity and devotion to the cause OF
right and justice, Of purity in thought
and action, they may escape the wave
OF viciousness that is sweeping the ad-
ult world.
But our hope for better future rests
with the children of today.
When we want to teach dog tricks
we begin when he is young.
The human race is not so far removed
from the brute creation but what the
same rule will apply.
