DRAINAGE WORK PROVIDED
ON INSTALLMENT SYSTEM
Michigan Legislature Passes Act
Authorizing Bond Issue to
Finance Projects.

LANSING, Mich. [P).-Under the
O'Connell-Goodwine act passed by the
last session of the Michigan State Leg
islature, farmers may buy drainage on
deferred payments.
On proper petition the county drain
commissioner is to establish drainage
districts and issue bonds to pay the
cost of draining lands in those areas.
The landowners must retire the
bonds in 3 to 20 annual installments,
the drain commissioner determining
the number of installmentS before is
suing the bonds. Each installment
bears interest at 6 per cent.
Michigan is reported to be one of the
first States to pass such a law. The
act is expected to stimulate reclama-
ton projects and improve the produc-
tiveness of lands which have been too
wet for profitable tillage.

smoothly spread quilt and pillow on the
basement floor. In plain view were her
will and a note telling of the mental
anguish which caused her act.
The body was found by her son,
Harry B. Byrd, jr, real estate OPP
orator. with offices at 1913 Fifteenth
street, when he returned a few min
utes after O'Clock. He summoned

certified suicide. The gun from which
the fatal shot was fired was .32-
caliber United States service revolver.
The note read: MY dear son, I am
in great pain and can endure 1t no
longer. Forgive. Your mother"
According to Mr.. Byrd, his mother
had been respondent for some time,
but yesterday morning when he left
for work seemed in unusually good
spirits. Before becoming engaged in
the real estate business here Mr.. Byrd
was an officer in the Navy.

vestigations and the roundup of hood
lums in the bloody twentieth" ward in
1928 resulted in more than 100 indict-
ments listing the theft of ballot boxes
and the fraudulent marking of ballots,
kidnapping of watchers from the polls,
intimidation, smuggling, kidnapping and
shooting of voters and the murder of
Granady, a colored politician who had
been the rival of Morris Eller, city col
lector and boss of the twentieth ward,
Eller himself and his son, Judge Eman-
uel Eller, were indicted with number
of their political followers.
Sixteen of the latter were convicted
on a conspiracy charge involving most
of the terrorist crimes discovered by the
special grand juries, but the Ellers had
obtained a separate trial and the State
let prosecution drop.
State Senator James B. Leonardo was
one of the defendants dismissed yester-
day. The rest were relatively unknown
ward politicians and hoodlums.

Billiard Ball Industry.

1t requires about two years to make
a billiard ball. and most Of that time
is spent in process of seasoning They
are made of the tusks of elephants
and when the pieces are received they
are carefully examined and record
made of their condition. Then they are
laid away for year, after which they
are cut into blocks of suitable size and
such as are found to be f1awleSS are
laid away for another year before they
are turned into the spheres. There is
some loss owing to the development of
cracks, but the ball when it is finally
turned out is perfect in every respect.
About 1000 tusks a year are required
for the purpose and the work is done
in Hamburg.

 Modern bread, having a scientif- cally established composition, is sensible food. It is rich in carbo- hydrate and protein, providing min- cral salts, fats and some vitamins Breads made with white flour, yeast salt, malt extract, sugar, shortening and water will not have the cGme food value as bread made of the same constituents with the milk re- quired by modern baking standars. Whole wheat bread has vitamins and roughage not present in white bread. When bread is made with fruit or raisins or nuts it's value is still further modified.
 Two biscuits make one hundred calorics, a three-inch piece of cof- 1 fee cake makes three hundred cal orfies, large graham muin makes | two hundred calories, six inch waffle makes one hundred calories a large parker house roll makes S2 , calories, slice of raisin bread pro- vides one hundred and thirty five calories, slice of rye bread provides one hundred calories, one slice ot cinnamon toast is one hundred anG fifty calories aid two slices of Melba toast make one hundred calories, anc three pieces of wieback make one hundred calories.

Nothing is harder than to be the child of father and mother who take their parental obligations with d heavy dose of conscience.
 An extra conscientious mother, in these days of many household aids, has time 10 concentrate too wholly cn her child through entirely too many hour.; of the day.
 She begins while she is in the cradle to worry over his health. She watches the scales with anxious eyes.
 Intense, insistent. she hovers over his moals, lest he miss a single caloric or vitlmin he is supposed to have.
 She is so concerned over dirt and germs that 'lr would keep him in q glass ease if she coull. Ordinary cleanlinoss is not good enough for her. Her baby is not allowed 10 crawl about and investigate and cX- pertinent as every baby ;hOuld. As the child grows older the over conscientious parents fret over his character.
