Assures Federal Money Will
If ; Be Spent Under Direc-
. : . tion State Highway
H j^ department
Tbe enactment into law recently of
'i tbe -*Good Roads Bill" carrying an
.appropriation of »15.000,000, and
}* special appropriations for forest roads
f~ aad trails, marks a signal victory tor
? Senator Charles E. Townsend of
Michigan, chairman of the senate
oonamlttee oo postoffices and post
roads, and leader of tbe good roads
advocates in the senate. Confronted
by the urgent need for economy, and
by opposition and indifference, not4
only to his particular views bat to
federal, participation in road construction as a principle, he and his
associates overcame wbat appeared
fco,-be insurmonntable obstacles ' by
the ultimate passage of the bill containing so many of the principled
woicb he advocated.
.- In a recent interview Senator
Townsend stated: "It has always
been my position tbat the principlepf.
ederal participation in construction
of certain roads should be accepted
as axiomatic. In- my original bill
which provided tor-federal highway
commission to administer federal ap
propriations and deal with bigbwav
problems, I provided tbat federa
money should be expenaed only upon
iuterst&te roads. Witb the comple
tion of tbe connecting backbone sys
teat the federal money then could
nave been used to construct tbe ribs
branching ont through the counties
The law recently enacted, while pio-
viding that federal money shall be
expended only upon ;a system con
slating of 7 per cent of tbe total road
mileage within the state, nevertne-
]«ee restricts 3-7 of that system to
roads interstate in character, and
witb which must connect or correlate
the remaining 4-7 of tbe. system con-
elating of secondary or inter-connty
roads. However, 60 per cent of the
federal aid alloted to each state must
be expended upon the" interstate
roads in the state system, but tbe eo-
lre allotment of federa! money tc
any state may be expended upon thit-
xype of a road at thediscretion of lb*
particular state highway department
**Tbe fact that in the future alt fed
erei appropriations must be expend
ed under the direct control of th*
State bigbway department, with th*
>. approval of tbe secretary of agricol
ture, seema to effectually eliminate
• tbe possibility of local politics enter
log into road problems. I bave al
ways objected to tbe taxing of people
. of one state for local or political ben
efita to another. It will no longer bf
possible in certain states for rich
counties to match practically all of
the federal aid allotted, thus depriving tbe poorer counties of their share
in road - improvements. Enforced
maintenance* which in the past bar
been ancb a crying need, is now provided for with respect to all roarfs
upon wbicb federal money has been
expended. Tbe labor necessary in
road construction and maintenance
matt have its presept effect in alleviating to some extent tbe unemploy
meet situation, and with a connected system of highways wbicb we ar
hopeful will be constructed, much o
tbe terror in the event ot railroa>
paralysis will bave been removed.'
"The new road act directs tbe sec
retary of war, upon pequesir of ib
secretary of agriculture, co transfe
any left-over property not needed t>
;- the military establishment bat aeefu
In road improvement for use by th*
state road departments, thus broadening the scope of existing Jegieiatio
on this subject and opening tbe wa
\ for realizing tbe maximum bene ft
oat of surplus army acock. "I aoj
confident tbat with tbe co-operation
■/ between tbe bureau of public roads
aad the several .state highway depart
meats, which is so essential, great
Strides in highway construction will
be atade. Tnere Is ample power in
law to ultimately secure the re-

Fast Developing Into
Free Bureau of
Education.
~ Lansing Mich.,Nov. 7 —Michigan's
state department of public instruction is rapidly developing into a
free bureau of education for every
meritorious organized\ movement in
the ata'.e, as well as for tbe public
school system of tbe state. Its policy
includes taking the initiative in
everything tbat demands a>i educational program. This Is being done
through the schools and also by its
active participation in ail civic and
welfare activities.*
Tbe latest of these is riAmerican
Education Week,*-L wbicb,is elated
for December 4 to 10. The purpose
of tbis week's ■ special work in tbe
schools "throughout the state is to
acquaint not alone the school children, but the general public, with tbe
great work which tbe schools are

He came to Michigan with bis
parents in 1879 and made Glare and
nearby localities his home nntil 1900,
wben he went to live with his
brother^ Norman, at Dclutb, Minn.
He was taken 111 about November

House Wednesday of last week and
watched President Harding sign tbe
good roads bill, which passed congress
during tbis seassion. Tne senator is
one cf the bill's authors and Con-
zresaman Woodruff is a member of
the house committee which handled
it and has been active in securing
its passage.
"I regard -the passing of tbis bill
as a great triumph," said Senator
Townsend after leaving the White
House. .-■-""
"Although it does not contain all
I asked for, it carries recognition
of every principle for which I contended. I stood by trie president's
*idt* wben he affixed his signature
to tbe bill and he presented me

always treasure."
The law carries appropriations of
$75,000,000 for general road purposes and provision for forest 'nils

Coming within eight eggs of the
World's record for ber breed, and
within twelve eggs of the "all-

Barred Rock hen owned by . tbe
Michigan Agricultural College, has
just completed a year'B egg produc-
ion which bas won her a lasting
>lace in tbe poultry Hall of Fame,
viary Ann laid the remarkable total
t 302 eggs between Nov. 16, 1020 and
STov 15. 1921.
Proof tbat "blood will tell" is
clubs, the luncheon clubs and other
organisations^ observe tbe week,1'
says Supt. Johnson. "Make it aa
event In your community life".
Tbe program to be carried out in
the schools and by community organizations, is outlined as follows: Monday,—'"Our Flag"; Tuesday,—American Ideals"; Wednesday,—'Oar
Language"; Thursday,— Immigration"; Friday,— "Naturalization".
Although Michigan has been making big strides in the betterment- of
its educational system and facilities
for that work,, still it is pointed out
that an emergency exists in education. ' This state now bas a 36 week
scbool year in all the rural as well as
city and village schools. That, together witb provisions for professional trainiug of teachers, were included in tbe work of tbe 1S21 legislature.
In fact more legislation for tbe advance of education was ^enacted in
19-21 than was placed on the statute
books of this state In a decade.
'''Our schools must continue to be
tbe great Americanizing agencies,"
says Supt. Johnson in bis communication on American Education Week.
"Tbey must have suitable bousing
aod other facilities and most important of all tbey must have adequate teaching staffs. We are beginning to pay our teachers and we
must see tbat tbey are well trained.
"English is the language of our
schools. Our flag is daily displayed
in our schools. Our people have
done much for education but tbey
must be brought to a realization of
all the educational needs of Michigan. Tbey must understand tbe
good work their schools are doing".'

Tuesday morning abont 6:00 o'clock,
as oustomary. Dr. J. W. Dunlop went
to tbe basement of his building on
the corner of McJBwan street for the
purpose of building a flravfu the furnace. Upon removing some eoal from

to tbe edge, the same having a long
bole drilled into it Instead of either
taking an ax aod breaking it or
throwing it into tbe furnace, bis curiosity got the better of bim and it
waa w«-li it did Upon making an examination he found enough dynamite
packed In tbe center to destroy tbe
whole west portion of tbe building as
well as killing or seriously injuring
himself, and tenants, had he pieced
it in the furnace. ' ... C »..•>., ■
This form of explosive is used in

Virginia. Kentucky and near by
states. Of these, 400 are for tbe
Infantry, 400 for Cavalry and 400 for

will not be given the privilege of
designating the organization of station to whlcb they want to go, bnt

Columbus Barracks bas been designated a recruit ng center tor a
large camber of these men and a

without previous service, may accept
the newspaper notices, and present
themselves to tho Recruiting Officer
at Columbus Barracks, Ohio. Applicants must be able to present letters
or other evidence of tbeir good
moral standing in tbeir respective
communities.
Coming as it does at a time of
more or less industrial depression
throughout the country, tbe announcement of tbe resumption of
army recruiting is a welcome one in
many sections.
Large numbers of applicants are
presenting themselves daily at
Columbus Barracks, Columbus, Ohio,
for enlistment and officials there
predict that little trouble will be
experienced in filling the 1200 quota.
; Newspapers, postmasters and tbe
mavoiS of ali cities tbroughout this
portion of the country have been
requested by army officials to aid in
tbe recruiting campaign.
Tbe Michigan State Farm Bureau's
idea of wbat should be taken up by
the delegates to the American Farm
Bureau Federation .• convention at
Atlanta, Nov 21-23 wben they start
to frame tbe 1922 . program was embodied in a series of resolutions
adopted by tbe State executive com"
mittee November S and dispatched
to tbe Resolutions Committee of tbe
national organization. Resolutions
urged the A. F. B. F. work for:
1 Passage of the Trdth-ln- Fabrics
bill.
2. Passage of a Trutb-in-Fruit
Juices-bill.
3. Protection of American dairymen
from the unrestricted undermining
influence of tbe filled condensed
milk industry. A high tariff on
cocoanut and vegetable oils was
orged.
4. Also, to investigate the proposed transferal of tbe Bureau of markets and other departments from tbe
U. S. Dept. of Agricultnre.
5. To commend Attorney General
Daugberty in declaring for tbe free
and unhampered distribution ot food
products, especially canned goods,
as of great economic importance to
both tbe producer and consumer.
6. To secure lower transportation rates.
7. To back President Harding's
disarmament program for peace and
as the road to lower taxes.
8. To retain high braekets on the
income tax for the very wealthy so
that tbey may assume tbeir just
burden of taxation, and to lend
support in putting bacft into tbe
federal taxation bill the excess profits tax.
9. To support national : enforcement of tbe National Prohibition act.
Some 250 people turned out to bear
the male quartette in tbe opening
cumber of the Lyceum C ourse last
Friday evening This was in spite
of tne fact tbat there was a steady
downpour of rain practically all the
evening. Had not the rain and bad
condition of the roads prevented
many of tbe country people from
coming in it is probable tbat tbe seating capacity of tbe Methodist cburch
would have been taxed to capacity.
Everyone seemed well pleased.
Many said they would have liked to
stay another hour and listen to more.
Probably tbe individual member to
di aw the largest applause was Mr.
Vickland, tbe base and Seader. "tie is
unqueationobly an .. artist possessed
of voice, personality and maturity of

STATE BACKWARD IN
DIPHTHERIA CONTROL
Death Rate Now 21.7; Consistently Higher .Than Other
States' Since 1916.
Dear Mr. Editor: I noticed in yoor
paper of a recent issue, a report of
the Superintendent of all the things*
on band at the Connty Poor Farm,.
This list Included everything from"
ten acres of core, worth S250.0f>,.
down to one quart of beet pick lee
wortb 15 cents. But in the entire
inventory there was no mention of"
a single hower, shrub, or shade tree*,
not even a fruit tree of any sort or>
tbe place.
I had occasion to pa9s. by onr
County Poor Farm a few weeks ago,,
and I could not but notice the utter* -
barrenness of the surroundings of
tbe buHdings. Apparently not a tree
bad been planted around tbe place, *,■
or a single thicg been done to beautify the grounds around the home "for -
our ooor unfortunates. "There this
home, having cost a large sum of the
peoples money, stands out in an open
field, with none •; of nature's adornments surrounding it. ;^:; '■ y: t
I wonder if the management does-
not tbink that tbe people, wbo
bought and paid for tbis institution,,
would not enjoy it better if there was
something done to make it appear-
more attractive by pntting out" a few-
fruit trees aod some v ornamental'
trees of different kinds, with a nice
lawn and some flowers to take tbe
gloom away. I wonder if the manage- -
meot never think tbat. aa the public- ~
pass tbat way, there may be severe i
criticism cf the lack of these things-
And I wonder if tbe management
ever think that there may be some
of tbe inmates, wbo, perhaps have-
been forced to come bere, thru no-
fault of theirs, for shelter and »
home, and who may have seen better'
days and pleasant surroundings.
Would not tbe condition of these
unfortunates be more bearable and
more enjoyable if tbey could look
out upon some of nature's attractions,
instead of barren places? These are*
some of tbe things tbe management,
might do well to ponder over, then
act. The Board of Supervisors too.
Wben tbey are making an appropriation for running of the County Poor
Farm, should set aside a suitable
sum for having a variety of frujt
trees and shade trees set out around*
tbe buildings and along tbe roa>;-
dide.

Tuesday, November 29th
Lansing, Nov More children are
dying from aipbtheria in Michigan at
tbe present time in proportion to
population tban died in 1908 throughout tbe Usited States Registration
Area, reports from che state department of health prove.
In 190K tbe diphtberia,deatb rate for
tbe Registration Area, which now
comprises 33 states, was 21.5 per 100.
000 population.
For tbe first eight months of 1921
Michigan's diphtheria death rate av
eraged 21.7 per 100,000 population.
"This means that Michigan is years
behind other states in the prevention
of diphtheria deaths," says Dr. R. N.
Oiin, Commissioner of health. "Tec
years ago Michigan's diphtheria
death rate—largely through good
luck—was slightly lower than that of
the Registration Area, tho it bas been
consistently higher since 1916.
"Other states bave reduced their
diphtheria death rates and brought
an entirely preventable disease under

In- my original bill which provided tor-federal highway commission to administer federal ap propriations and deal with bigbwav problems, I provided tbat federa money should be expenaed only upon iuterst&te roads. Witb the comple tion of tbe connecting backbone sys teat the federal money then could nave been used to construct tbe ribs branching ont through the counties The law recently enacted, while pio- viding that federal money shall be expended only upon ;a system con slating of 7 per cent of tbe total road mileage within the state, nevertne- ]«ee restricts 3-7 of that system to roads interstate in character, and witb which must connect or correlate the remaining 4-7 of tbe. system con- elating of secondary or inter-connty roads. However, 60 per cent of the federal aid alloted to each state must be expended upon the" interstate roads in the state system, but tbe eo- lre allotment of federa! money tc any state may be expended upon thit- xype of a road at thediscretion of lb* particular state highway department **Tbe fact that in the future alt fed erei appropriations must be expend ed under the direct control of th* State bigbway department, with th* >. approval of tbe secretary of agricol ture, seema to effectually eliminate • tbe possibility of local politics enter log into road problems. I bave al ways objected to tbe taxing of people . of one state for local or political ben efita to another. It will no longer bf possible in certain states for rich counties to match practically all of the federal aid allotted, thus depriving tbe poorer counties of their share in road - improvements. Enforced maintenance* which in the past bar been ancb a crying need, is now provided for with respect to all roarfs upon wbicb federal money has been expended. Tbe labor necessary in road construction and maintenance matt have its presept effect in alleviating to some extent tbe unemploy meet situation, and with a connected system of highways wbicb we ar hopeful will be constructed, much o tbe terror in the event ot railroa> paralysis will bave been removed.'

Although Michigan has been making big strides in the betterment- of its educational system and facilities for that work,, still it is pointed out that an emergency exists in education. ' This state now bas a 36 week scbool year in all the rural as well as city and village schools. That, together witb provisions for professional trainiug of teachers, were included in tbe work of tbe 1S21 legislature. In fact more legislation for tbe advance of education was ^enacted in 19-21 than was placed on the statute books of this state In a decade. '''Our schools must continue to be tbe great Americanizing agencies" says Supt. Johnson in bis communication on American Education Week. "Tbey must have suitable bousing aod other facilities and most important of all tbey must have adequate teaching staffs. We are beginning to pay our teachers and we must see tbat tbey are well trained. "English is the language of our schools. Our flag is daily displayed in our schools. Our people have done much for education but tbey must be brought to a realization of all the educational needs of Michigan. Tbey must understand tbe good work their schools are doing".'

Passes Away At Her Home After Continued Illness. STATE BACKWARD IN DIPHTHERIA CONTROL Death Rate Now 21.7; Consistently Higher .Than Other States' Since 1916. Dear Mr. Editor: I noticed in yoor paper of a recent issue, a report of the Superintendent of all the things* on band at the Connty Poor Farm,. This list Included everything from" ten acres of core, worth S250.0f>,. down to one quart of beet pick lee wortb 15 cents. But in the entire inventory there was no mention of" a single hower, shrub, or shade tree*, not even a fruit tree of any sort or> tbe place. I had occasion to pa9s. by onr County Poor Farm a few weeks ago,, and I could not but notice the utter* - barrenness of the surroundings of tbe buHdings. Apparently not a tree bad been planted around tbe place, *,■ or a single thicg been done to beautify the grounds around the home "for - our ooor unfortunates. "There this home, having cost a large sum of the peoples money, stands out in an open field, with none •; of nature's adornments surrounding it. ;^:; '■ y: t I wonder if the management does- not tbink that tbe people, wbo bought and paid for tbis institution,, would not enjoy it better if there was something done to make it appear- more attractive by pntting out" a few- fruit trees aod some v ornamental' trees of different kinds, with a nice lawn and some flowers to take tbe gloom away. I wonder if the manage- - meot never think tbat. aa the public- ~ pass tbat way, there may be severe i criticism cf the lack of these things- And I wonder if tbe management ever think that there may be some of tbe inmates, wbo, perhaps have- been forced to come bere, thru no- fault of theirs, for shelter and » home, and who may have seen better' days and pleasant surroundings. Would not tbe condition of these unfortunates be more bearable and more enjoyable if tbey could look out upon some of nature's attractions, instead of barren places? These are* some of tbe things tbe management, might do well to ponder over, then act. The Board of Supervisors too. Wben tbey are making an appropriation for running of the County Poor Farm, should set aside a suitable sum for having a variety of frujt trees and shade trees set out around* tbe buildings and along tbe roa>;- dide.
