Add bard water to tbe otber caueeB
for tbe bigb cost of living in Michigan, a factor necessitating tbe need-
lees expenditure of $2,8a7,077.50 for
soap annually and a like amount for
extra plumbing.
Investigations carried on by tbe
bureaus of laboratories and of sanitary engineering of the Michigan
department of health, under tbe
direction of Dr. R. M. Olin, state
health v commissioner, prove tbat
wherever municipalities furnish
water of average hardness every individual wastes each year from 10 to
11 pounds of soap or washing powder
in softening the water %to a point
wbere lather is produced. To this
waste roust be added, say tbe authorities, tbe increased expense of maintaining plumbing wbich hard water
depreciates rapidly.

For
An editorial in a recent issue of tbe
Free Press, comparing foreign born
children with natives, contains some
food for thought. It says iu part:
"A teacher in one . of our public
schools who has bad experience witb
botb classes remarked recently that
she enjoyed teaching the cbildren of
immigrants more than tbose of American ancestry. Asked for the reason
of what seemed a somewhat surprising statement, sbe replied that tbe
foreign children, even tbose whose
parents speak English imperfectly,
are more obedient, more amenable to
discipline and usually more desirous
to^-progress than the average home
product, though tbe latter have bad
greater advantages and are not handi-
caped by lack of knowledge of our
language. Impatient teachers sometimes complain tbat tbe children of
foreigners are "stupid." Tbe reason
for tbe apparent dullness is that they
must mentally translate what is said
to them into the equivalent of tbeir
accustomed tongue before they can
fully grasp it, They conquer this
drawback in time and become fair to
average, sometimes excellent students.
/ Another advantage is tbe greater
interest in their 'children's progress
manifested by foreign mothers* not
in the way of interference or criticism,
but in upholding tbe teacher's authority. This ia particularly (rue

We are quite well aware tbat tbere

millions of years are all still dead.
To sucb of course Mr. Edison's theory
id simply ridiculous.

The soldiers found tbe ore on tbe

while clearing a space for drilling.
Tbe ore Nolf found has been used as

SUPERVISORS

Counties.
Several
CLARE SPORTSMAN'S
Club Held Annual  Meeting
Monday  Evening.
The fact that tbe board of supervisors in several counties at tbe October session passed a resolution asking for tbe abolition of the State
Constabulary indicated tbat a systematic campaign was being waged .by
somebody. Tbat several boards bave
since rescinded tbeir action • would
serve to sbow tbat the action wae
taken without much consideration.
The following, clipped from the Free
Press, indicates something ol the
interest taken in tbe matter:
"The latest development in the -
Btate-wide fight over the question of
continuing or abolishing tbe state
police was tbe action of the Macomb
county board of supervisors Saturday afterooon in rescinding tbe
former resolution adverse to tbo
state police and, instead, voting their
approval of tbe constabulary.
Tbe resolutions ask tbat tbe next
statelegislature allow "adequate
appropriations for tbe maintenance
of tbe state police."
Macomb is the third county id
wbicb the supervisors, after adopting resolutions adverse to the state
police, reversed their action. It i* -
expected that the boards of super-
vi.Nors Id a number of other counties
wili iojlow suit at tbe January sessions.
Discassion of the state police issue
bas beeo bad before four of ths agricultural organizations of tbe state,
tbe Michigan Horticultural society.
State Farm bureau, State Association of Farmers' clubs and State
Grange, aDd all bave passed resolutions approving of tbe constabulary.
In addition, tbere have been resolutions of tbe same tenor passed by
chambers of commerce, Rotary and
Kiwanis clubs and otber commercial
bodies In all parts of the •kate."
On
Tbe Olare Oounty Sportsman's Club,
at its annual meeting at Harrison
Monday night, took action endorsing
the plan of tbe Micbigan Sportsman**
Association for the- establish meet of
game refugee in various parte of tba
state. Tbese are to be tbe property
of tbe state, patrolled and maintained
by tbe state, and game propagated
and protected within tbeir limits,
money from banters* licenses to ba
used for tbe pnrpose. Tbe overflow
would furnish plenty of banting.
■ The Clnb also went on record aa
favoring unanimously a closed soasoav
on deer in Olare Connty for tbe ness
two years, and for a uniform season
for hunting fur-bearing animals and
rabbits in tbe lower peninsula.
Jos. E. Ladd was elected president,
Elmer C. Clate vice-president and
