The potatoes seem to be affected
with an unusual type of scab. Treat
the tubers with corrosive sublimate
or formaldehyde before planting.
Where the disease is in the soil, as
seems to be the case with You, an
application Of five or six hundred
pounds Of sulphur -four or flowers
OF sulphur per acre before planting
will usually reduce the damage con-

The fact that most of the large

material and aesthetic viewpoint, of
the Jews engaged in these industries.
The Jew in this line as in others must

other words, their charge is that the
Jew is not constructive, that he does
no useful work.

Home building, as road building, is
one of the main tests in determining
the constructive instinct in a race in
material things The Romans earned
their enviable position as one of the
great ancient constructive peoples
principally because of their creative
expression in road and other build
ing.
For centuries Christian oppression
prevented the fullest development of
the latent instinct of the Jew to build

day, given this opportunity, the Jew
is asserting himself in building ac-

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATIONS ACT

Probably piece of national legislation has been more mis-
represented the Transportation Act under which the rail-
roads were returned private few agtaors WHO
their interest curry favor with shippers have rep e.
scented Transportation Act increased freight rates
radical labor leaders represented imposing injustice up
on railroad employees Thus there is studied effort to create
widespread public prejudice against the Act particularly among
wage earners and shippers.
There a outstanding and ncontrovertbe facts which
every should keep in mind One of these that during
the twensix months of political management of the railroads
the Wilson administration the expenses of operation were
increased the increase with the
suit that the roads operating at loss of $1OOOOOOo per
$18OO000O0 year The administration took over
the they had their treasures money for operating
expenses 1t turned them back to their private with their
treasures empty increasing freight the Demo-
cratic Railroad Administration drew upon the Federal Treasury
part Of the deficit to be paid by the Republican adminsa
ton.
Notwithstanding the being operated at loss the
representatives employees filed applications for increases in
wages before the roads returned their private
owners which increases if granted would have imposed in
expense upon the roads of 100000 The
Wilson administration took action upon those applications but
the roads returned to their private the Raoad
of the increased cost Of living granted
which added $65o0o00o0 to the Of
This together with the previous rate of deficit meant
roads would be operated loss Of $90000000 per
month, o than a $1,000 100000 per year
the why increases freight
ary and increase would have been necessary regardless of
the Transportation Act has been repeatedly stated though
falsely that the Transportation Act guaranteed the roads
which would enable them to dividends OF 5 per cent
The that the bill merely authorizes increases which will
average exceed per the actual
value of the property No dividends whatever guaranteed
and the fact that Of the large and important railroads of
the country paying dividends whatever If the Transpor
had reference increases in freight the
exgence the situation would have made imperative for the
Interstate Commerce Commission to grant increases which would
enable the roads pay their operating expenses Instead of
posing burden upon shippers the Transportation Act in reality
protects the shippers by limiting the increases to such
will the roads the whole cent the actual value Of
the property used in railroad operation.

From MY experience i'm acronau-

that America now has, as they are

dcnce N our own geniuses is the pre-
requisite Of true progress. Why
doubt the feasibility Of our own de-
mands Of brain power when our pilots
need our faith?
When are we the American people
going to arouse ourselves from this
wrctched mcsmerism that Germany
has over us To my mind this is one
great backward step, one relinquish-
merit Of our rights in an evil hour.
The faithless tarrying is now about
TO tear from our brow the laurel and
rcpose from our pilots hearts, sepa-
rating them from the realization of
their divine inheritance.

EAXORITE son

The retirement of Joseph w. Ford
ney from Congress at the conclusion
Of his present term, has thus far
brought out four candidates for the
job. Saginaw county has two, Gin
ton county one and Montcalm county
one, all favorite sons Of the counties
in which they live.
There is a lot of talk being indulg
ed in 10 the effect that this or that
candidate should have the support of
the county in which he resides, re-
gardless Of his ability to represent
or misrepresent the people of this
district.
Michigan is a progressive state
Teddy Roosevelt carried it as the
progressive candidate for president
in 1912 and Hiram Johnson, a pro-
gressive, was the choice of the people
of this state for president at the
primaries in 1920 SO it seems TO the
News that it is not a question Of what
county the candidate halls from, but
rather what he stands for.
1t would seem foolish indeed for
the people OF progressive district TO
send hard boiled, reactionary
standpatter TO congress. Each candi-
date should be studied. His attitude
toward questions effecting the wei
fare of all the people should be in
quired into. Each candidate should
be questioned as to what company
he will train with when he gets
down to Washington and whether he
is in favor Of progressive laws or
will stand with the reactionaries.
When you have satisfied yourself
after careful investigation, as to
which man will best represent in con-
gress the people of a progressive
district, it would be good business to
go TO the primaries on September II
and support that man, regardless of
what county claims him as its favor

With Our State
Contemporaries
SOUABRLING Will NOT HELP


Controversial note writing that
produces nothing but wind; tongue
ashing of governmental boards and
departments that has no constructive
value; grandstand political plays
made for the purpose Of vote getting
only, may be very interesting and
may seem highly important to office
seekers who indulge in them, but the
campaign hot air Of today is not go
ing to keep anybody warm next
winter.
What the public wants is coal.
Whether the federal government
or the state government controls
fuel distribution in Michigan is a
matter Of secondary Importance if
only the distribution is made eqult-
ably. People are not going to throw
up their hats and indulge in wild
scenes of appreciation because Of any
flamboyant declaration by the COVER
nor or some other official that there
is to be surrender Of the control Of
Michigan's coal to the federal gov
eminent without fight, unless it
appears, as it does not yet appear,
that the federal government is dis
eliminating against this common
wealth and that a fight will do some
good.
The public is not worrying over
any technical question of state rights
at this moment. What the public
wants is coal.
Every municipality, every public
service enterprise, every factory
owner, every householder wants coal.
The public official who gets appro-
val will be not the public official
who sputters the most bat the public
official who obtains results whether
he represents federal state or local
government. The fellow that really
does his part toward the general
effort to produce the goods, he is the
one who is going to receive the
"hurrahs" and the rewards.
Furthermore, since all are pre-
sumably working toward common
end, which is to secure the mining
and transportation Of fuel for the
general relief of the American peo-
pie, the watchword everywhere a.
mong officials ought to be co-opera-
ton. We cannot see where anything
is to be. gained by fostering friction
or by creating needless antagonism.
1t is true that each state and each
community must in a measure look
out for itself on the principle that
Providence helps those who help
themselves. But this can be done
amiably as well as in any other way.

WHY SO MANY STRIKE

The tactics adopted by rail strikers
in Toledo and elsewhere furnish n
ready explar alton why so many
workers lay down their tools when
a strike is ordered. They don't dare
remain on the job lest their houses
be stoned or defaced, or less they be
brutally assaulted or their families
terrorized. A great many Of the men
may prefer work to idleness but they
prefer whole bones to broken ones
and even if they are willing to risk
their own bodies they hesitate to ex-
pose their wives and children to the
insults and assaults of a crazy mob.
We know of nothing that more
forcibly and graphically illustrates
the failure Of American municipal
government, than the outrages which
have been committed on laboring men
and their families during the coal
and rail strikes. One would suppose
that a striker has a warranty deed
to his job and that the task he quits
is still his to be dealt with as his
fancy dictates. One would suppose
that the laboring man who dares as
pire to vacancy made by striking
employe is no better than a COM
mon criminal who forfeits all his
rights as a citizen.
This Industrious man hasn't
learned that the part of the consti-
tuition guaranteeing to the individual
his right to 'life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" is suspended

TO THE VOTERS OF

Some interested parties are circu-
lating the story that | am opposed to
good roads and the Covert Systm.
The first part Of the yarn is too
silly to answer, and as for the rest |
am in favor Of the principle of the
Covert System as is shown by the
fact that while | was supervisor of
Emerson Township, we built good
many miles of gravel road under an
informal assessment plan, before the
Covert System was ever heard of.
What | object to is the red tape
with which the law is encumbered,
and the clerical work and inspection
which makes so large a percentage of
the cost in this County at least, as
shown by the vouchers in this office.
! think that the County Road Com
mission should have complete
charge and control of the construc-
ton and specifications in each Coun-
ty, AMI | am sure that If they are
like our own Road Commission they
would keep the overhead expense as
low as possible.
In conclusion ! wish to say that ]
am in favor of spending the road
funds for gravel, cement and actual
labor, not to furnish jobs and run
paper mills, and l believe that the
vast majority of the taxpayers feel
as do in the matter, and ] ask their
support as State Senator with this
opinion in mind.
