Oleanings
From the State Convention Held at Grand

Mrs. Thomas G. Winters, Pres. f General Federation—''Education
must answer two demands: 'What chh I b*?' wbicb is cultural; and 'What
can I do?' which is vocational. Of education we demand that it stop being
academic, and really relate itself to the job or living. We ought not to
spend *o great a percentage of the money of our laud, on the things to
destroy life, and when the two million club women of our land stand firm
tor the best in education, tne decencies of life, tbe proper bringing up of
oar children and the building up and not the destroying of our nation then
tMere is little that they could not accomplish. It is a deplorable fact that
the United States spends more annually for chewing gum than it does for
education'f. J/. ' ,■-..„ ,-.: :^ v ^ . \. .r- * m •£
ft' Mrs. Marx E Oberndorfer, of Chicago, chairman of music of General
Federation—"A noted surgeon told me that if women do not stop jazz music
there will not be a pure-minded child in the high schools of tbe country.
The delinquency among high school pupils is spelling and Judge Ben
Ubddaey blames jazs music to a great extent.; 'Make good music popular
and popular music good' is tbe slogan which club women should adopt".
} I " Mrs. Percy V. Pennyb.acker, of Austin, Texas, chairman o? the Amer-
i3anization committee—"Too many persons are prone to take tbeir opinions
from newspaper headlines or from friends or relatives. ISo woman has the
right to give as her opinion tbe opinion of another, not even of her' bua-

tbe Farwell delegate so tbe convention, wbo very graciously told the
ladies something of the great work
being done by tbe club women of the

^OFFICIAL'S PLEA
P/eventabie Maternal > Deaths
P Break Up Half A Thousand 1
Homes In State.
^ Nearly , half a thousand" homes in
tbe state were disrupted by deaths
of tbe mothers during tbe first nine
months of 1921, statistical ■; studies
made bv tbe Michigan department
of health disclose. ...
Maternity resulted fatally in 490
instances, 148 of the deaths occurring
in Detroit, and 342 in tbe rest of the
state. Tbis gives a maternal death
rate, for causes arising from childbirth, of 17.1 per 100,000 population
or nearly equal to tbe state's diphtheria death rate,, and more tban
t-vice as high as tbe typhoid death
rate, and more tban twice as high
as tbe typhoid death rate. . Since
only women are affected, however,
and only women in the age gronp
from 15 to 45, tbe seriousness of tbe
cause is increased proportionally,
authorities point out.
With 72.T42 births reported in the
state from Jan. 1 to Oct. 1, one out
of every 150 births terminated fatally
for tbe mother.
ilPrentatal instruction, a physician's advice, and clean and scientific
care will eliminate tbe chief dangers
of maternity", declares Dr. R. M.
Olin, commissioner of healtb, "for
most of these deaths are preventable
To assist in protecting motherhood,
the department of healtb will send
practical suggestions npon prenatal
and inrant care, to supplement the
family doctor's advice, to every
woman requesting information.
* 'These 490 mothers who died undoubtedly represented the most
precious lives in tbeir communities.
Their loss means motherless children
and broken homes. We are supyos
ed to honor mothers above all other
persons Surely the time has come
when we should do every possible
thing for their welfare 365 days of
tbe year instead of merely consecrating a single sabbath annually to tbeir
memory and praise by wearing a
wbite or red carnation".

Great saving for crop growers of
tbe state, especially for orcbardists.
will follow burning of rubbish heaps
at tbis season of the year, according
to Prof. R. H. Pettit, bead of the
entymology department at the Michigan Agricultural College. Enormous
quantities of harmful insects are
said to find protection under fallen
leaves and other rnbbisb during tbe
winter, anc destruction during the
fall will save heavy losses in the
following season.
These insects spend the winter as
adults and emerge early in the spring
to begin serious destruction at once
While they can be controlled comparatively easily now by destruction
of tbe rubbish nnder which they
bave been shown to find protection,
control measures at other seasons
are difficult and expensive. Indian
Summer is given as a good time for
tbe work, while spraying oil over the
rubbish to aid burning is recommend
ed in many cases. __
"Results of careful removal in the
past have been astonishing in the
amount of expensive prevention Saved at otber seasons," says Professor
Pettit. "One insect killed now will
mean thousands less next summer.
Leaves, especially from broad leaf
trees sucb as oaks and maples, are
tbe worst rubbish for harboring the
pests. Winter examination has
shown shavings and straw to be of
leas importance." '<■ ■
Among tbe important insects which
can be controlled in tLis way are:
Chinch-Bugs, troublesome in southern part of the state last year, (they
hibernate in tussocks of grass, under
leaves, and along fence rows, especially where brush has caught the
leaves); Grape Leaf-Hoppers; Potato
Leaf-Hoppers (which cause Tip Burn
of potatoes); Strawberry Weevils;
Black Stink Bugs of squash; Plum
Curculio; and the Tarnished Plant
Bug.
Grape Leaf Hoppers are mentioned as among the most important
insects to control in the faL, because
last year's damage was tbe greatest
ever known from the pests. Where
ever grapes are grown
Obinoh-Baga are workin*. prsc*a>
feions ars particularly important.
and Alice Hocbste* ler leads the list
witb 20, while Mary Hel^n Doherty
is almost tied with 9 to ber credit.
These are Thursday morning figures
and probably the girls have secured
pledges for several more since then.
. While it will be c-ecessary to sell
quite a few more season tickets before it can be. definitely stated i that
tbe financial success of the course is
assured, it seems entirely probable
that the required additional support
wiil r»e forthcoming, as' tbe canvass
of the city is as yet incomplete.'
Many wiil wait until tbey are sure
they can attend the first number be- '
fore they purchase st season ticket, j
This is very 'good mathematical:
prudence, .for by applying the fifty-
cent single admission price of tbe
hrSjt number to the cost - of a season'
ticket the remaining four numbers of "
tbe course may be eonsid red to cost
but a dollar, or the price of only two
eingle admissions. Anyone should be
fairly willing to gamble that he will
be able to attend at least two of the
remaining four numbers, witb the
probability of also attending tbe
other two which ■; may then be considered free.
It ia admitted that much can be
judged of tbe character of the course
by the opening number Friday evening. But if the Sterling Male Quartette live anywhere nearly up to the
reputation tbey possess their performance will be a guaranty of tbe
high quality of the entire course.
It should be remembered that season
ticket holders are entitled to a refund
of one fifth the price of the ticket at
the cii ae of any performance wbicb
ie not satisfactory, and tbe local man<-
airement will not hesitate to take ad'
vantage of tbis guarantee in the contract should any of tbe numbers
prove of medicore or poor quality.
It is hoped that a large crowd wit)
come to tbe Methodist Church Friday
evening to hear the quartette. Plan
to come at 1:45 if possible so that tbe
program may start promptly at 8:00.
Single admissions are25 and 50 cents,
or season tickets may be purchased
at tbe door.
WOOL GROWERS ASK
THIRTY CENT DUTY
Tariff Hearings . Presented to
Senate Finance Committee
November 1st.
James N. Mcbride of Barton, Mich'-
igan, chairman of the National Wool
Growers Committee of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, was in
Washington November 1 to represent
wool producers of a dozen middle
west states at the wool tarriff hearings before the Senate Finance Committee. The wool growers are asking that tbe Fordney wool tariff of 25
cents per pound, subject to a 35 per
cent ad valorem rider, be supplanted
by a straight 30 cents a pound duty
on a scoured basis Eliminatio i of
tbe ad valorem feature of tbe tang is
also sought. ■'■'.
Middle west wool producers held an
indignation meeting in Chicago last
August when tbey discovered the
wool tariff joker which reduced a 25
cenr tariff to one of three or {oor
cents per pound wbeu tbe ad valorem :
clause was applied to present wool
values. It was claimed that the difference in exchange more than wiped
out the few cents protection, and she
wool growers vo;ed to send one of
tbeir number to Washington to pre?
sent tbeir case Wool manufacturers
are amply protected under the Fordney tariff and are free from tbe ad
valorem rider that was tacked ontb
the producers.

STERLING MALE QUARmnUDAY ^EVENING NOV. 18 ?PROTECT MOTHERS" Ifi ^OFFICIAL'S PLEA P/eventabie Maternal > Deaths P Break Up Half A Thousand 1 Homes In State. ^ Nearly , half a thousand" homes in tbe state were disrupted by deaths of tbe mothers during tbe first nine months of 1921, statistical ■; studies made bv tbe Michigan department of health disclose. ... Maternity resulted fatally in 490 instances, 148 of the deaths occurring in Detroit, and 342 in tbe rest of the state. Tbis gives a maternal death rate, for causes arising from childbirth, of 17.1 per 100,000 population or nearly equal to tbe state's diphtheria death rate,, and more tban t-vice as high as tbe typhoid death rate, and more tban twice as high as tbe typhoid death rate. . Since only women are affected, however, and only women in the age gronp from 15 to 45, tbe seriousness of tbe cause is increased proportionally, authorities point out. With 72.T42 births reported in the state from Jan. 1 to Oct. 1, one out of every 150 births terminated fatally for tbe mother. ilPrentatal instruction, a physician's advice, and clean and scientific care will eliminate tbe chief dangers of maternity", declares Dr. R. M. Olin, commissioner of healtb, "for most of these deaths are preventable To assist in protecting motherhood, the department of healtb will send practical suggestions npon prenatal and inrant care, to supplement the family doctor's advice, to every woman requesting information. * 'These 490 mothers who died undoubtedly represented the most precious lives in tbeir communities. Their loss means motherless children and broken homes. We are supyos ed to honor mothers above all other persons Surely the time has come when we should do every possible thing for their welfare 365 days of tbe year instead of merely consecrating a single sabbath annually to tbeir memory and praise by wearing a wbite or red carnation".
