following many years.of suffering,
Mias Etta Wilson passed from this
life at the home of her mother, Mrs.
Luoinda Wilson, Tuesday* nighti
The funeral Was held from the home
Thursday afternoon and tbe remains
interred in Cherry Grove cemetery."
The obituary will appear next week.
"Paved streetsand boulevard lights
do not make a community." Suob
was the declaration of Prof. Pierce of
Central Normal in his very helpful
address Wednesday alternoon, the
third day of the big Oommnnitv Convention put over by the Clare Chamber of Commerce this week. But
this was not the onjy good thing said
that was worth while, as many would
testify who made the effort to attend.
According, to the program gates
were to open at ten o'clock in Duncan hall, but the best of plans of mice
and men, according to the illustrious
Burns, "gang aft aglee." A train
wreck on tbe Ann Arbor made it impossible for Mr. H. 0. Rather, Extension Specialist of the M. A. C, to
reach here in the morning and the
session had to be abandoned. But he
arrived here in time for the afternoon program to start at two o'clock
and gave an interesting and profitable address on "Alfalfa Crowing in
.Michigan. It is be regretted that
weather conditions making bad roads
brought together only about fifty
people to hear what this, man 'who
knows bad to Bay about this important subject. Every farmer in the
district would have profited had he
been privileged to be present. But
Mr. Bather made a great impression
on his hearers, and was easily the big
hit of the convention as be talked
with his bearers and not at them.
Tbe importance of Alfalfa as a profit
growing Leeume was comprehensively explained, and Mr. Rather said
tbat general conditions in our community made it very favorable to
grow the same,
It waB a good audience that faoed
Mr. Bather Tuesday morniog at ten
o'clock when he discussed the theme
of "Better Seed—Better Crops." He
told how the college had developed
particular seeds which bad brought
great success, not only there but
with farmers all over tbe state. In
his talk he emphasized tbe importance of good seed, He quoted instances of different men who had
profited by tbe help rendered by the
college in thiB line, giving addresses
and suggested correspondence with
them by any present who cared so to
do. Two seeds are emphasized by
the M. A. 0., Mr. Bather said. These
are the College Robust Bean and tbe
College Wolverine Oat.
Owing to oonditions on the railroad the speaker for the afternoon
did not reach Clare, so Mr. Harry
O'Brien, tbe comedian and einger,
entertained with songs and mono*
iognes in a very pleasingjnanner.
Tuesday evening was the big night
with its splendid program at tbe public school, when the auditorium Was
filled, with some standing, of little
folks ana grownups. The evening's
entertainment commenced with tbe
community Bing led by Dr, A. E.
Mulder. Five of the old time favorites, concluding with "America,"
were sung with fervor and spirit. A
program of some sixteen numbers
was very pleasingly rendered, demonstrating the faot Clare has talent
of no mean order. No single number
. can be praised above others for all
- were good. The boys and girls with
their Indian song and dance, and the
cowboy song were pleasing features.
There were vocal solos, mixed quartettes, ladies' chorus, double trio,
quintette, whistling solo and violin
solo. .The program was varied in its'
character but big with human interest, and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The chorus of twenty-five voices, directed by Dr. Mulder, pleaBingly and
harmoniously rendered two nice
Songs", The comedian, Harry O'Brien,
also added very much to the evening's enjoyment witb his songs and
fanny sayings, P. E. Bradley sang
two pleasing songs, in one of which
he made a hit with the introduction
or* an oft repeated Jocal faying, "Am
I right Of atn I wrong." An orehes
t;ra consisting of six pieoes added
very amen to tbe musical part of tbe
program. This organization consisted of Mies Kefauver, piano; Messrs.
Peterson and Kirkbride, violins; Mr.
Hanchard, clarionet; Mr.- Elden,
cello, and Mr. Thompson, base. The
concluding number was a pleasing
folk dapce by ten girls in costume
with colored light effects.
'Wednesday at 10 a, m., Mr. A. V.
Freeman, Extension Specialist in
Animal Industry of M% A. C, discussed the important subject, "Op-
portunitie for Baby Beef Production" at Duncan hall. Mr. Freeman
showed by statistics tbat baby beef
has and is bringing better premiums
over other varieties. He told of.'.the
movement in Detroit market "to this
end.
• At noon upwards of 300 people enjoyed the big community dinner in
the gymnasium of the public school.
A pleasing program followed in the
auditorium for the women and children. Little Miss Helen/ Lamb in
dances, and local talent furnished
the entertainment.
Tbe meeting for men as Duucan
hall was addressed by Prof. Pierce
of Central Normal, Mt. Pleasant,
who gave an interesting and real
community talk. Touching on business conditons in general he tbought
tbe present and future looked good
to the farmer for he considered the
bottom bad been reached as far as
low prices were coucerned. Speaking of community life aud its needs,
Mr. Pierce said paved streets and
boulevard lights did not make a community. We must have folks, the
kind who live and let live, who give
themselves to its best interests.
Prof. Pieroe made a hit with hearers
and all enjoyed his contribution to
the program.
The upsetting of the Convention
schedule through bad train service
made it necessary for tbe committee
unfortunately to cancel the engagement of Mr. Mike Noon of Jackson,
who was to lead a discussion on Bus
iness Principles of Farming.
The Convention concluded with the
dance on Wednesday evening in Duncan hall, and a large number enjoyed
dancing the old and new seeps to tbe
fine music rendered by Ryan's orchestra of Midland.
Much credit is due tbe Chamber of
Commerce for putting on this big
three-day Community Convention,
and which met all tbe expenses. It
was unfortunate tbat weather conditions and bad roads seriously effected .the attendance, but the results
have well repaid the effort.
DR. EVANS HERE
MONDAY EVENING
One of America's Most
Popular Lecturfirs--Call-
- ed ttie * * Doug" Fairbanks Of the Lyceum Platform
TheiOoit Lyceum Bureau had Dr.
Evans scheduled here for, Saturday
night, March 3. They said he was
"booked solid'' for every, night and
that they couldn't get him this far
away on any night but a Saturday
night. The wording of lyceum contracts is such tbat they have to be
signed witn the dates blank, to be
tilled in later &b desired by the Bureau.
But tbe loca -management protested that Saturday night wouldn't do
at all. Along back-came a very courteous letter stating that another engagement bad been cancelled to give
Clare a-Monday night date. This all
happened before the first number
last fall, and before the (attempted)
sale of season tickets. Perhaps as
matters have since worked out, the
Lyceum Bureau waB put to unnecessary inconvenience.
At any rate, a good date has been
secured for the appearance of Dr.
Evans. • ^
Three of the numbers of this year's
lyceum course will have brought to
Clare men of national reputation,
men who seldom appear in cities of
this size. Edwin Whitney, who opened the course last November, was
splendid; one of the best in his line
of entertainment. Judge Alden was
acclaimed by many of the few who
heard him aa the beat lecturer who
has ever been in this city. His talk
to the high school in the afternoon,
given without pay or thought of pay,
was worth the cost of the entire
course to the community.
And Dr. Arthur Walwyn Evans is
a more widely-known and highly-advertised man than either of tbe other
two.- He is said to be a combination
of Billy Sunday and Douglas Fairbanks plus a whole lot more that is
uniquely and solely Arthur Evans.
In any large city lyceum and Chautauqua course Dr, Evans would be
headlined at a dollar or dollar-and-
a-half .a seat. The admission price
next Monday night will be balf a
dollar for adults, a quarter for school
people. In the school auditorium at
eight o'clock. There will be one or
two musical numbers before the lecture.
MRS. SAMUEL ZEITER
LAID TO REST
Funeral Conducted From Home
Friday With Interment; in
. Cherry Grove.
TO SENTINEL READERS.
As it seems quite Impracticable for
me to take up my residence in Clare
at this time or to make frequent trips
here as would seem highly desirable
if I were to retain my interest iu the
Sentinel, I have disposed of tbe same
to Mr. Benjamin Parish, of Saginaw.
I need not say tbat it is with a feeling
of sadness tbat I realize I am severing forever my connection with the
Sentinel.
I have said many time, and now
repeat, that tbe busjness men of Clare
are the finest body of men on earth.
They have in the past been very kind
to the Sentinel. I hope tbat in the
future, not only they but all others,
may continue to be so and that the
paper may, speaking after tbe manner of Mr. Coue, "From day to day
and in every way, grow better and
better."
Very sincerely,
Enoch Andrus."
Central Michigan Union Sunday
Schools
Last Tuesday morning Samuel
Zeiter, returning from the barn,
where he bad been looking after his
horse, was shocked to find his wife
unconscious, sitting in'a chair. Medical aid was summoned and it was
foupd that Mrs. Zeiter was suffering
from a stroke of apoplexy and that
evening she died.

She came to Miohigan at the age of
fifteen years and was married to
Samuel Zeiter in 1868.' They came to

prises for upwards of forty years
but last fall moyed to Clare, purchasing the bouse owned and occupied by John Oliver on East Sixth
street.To this union one daughter
was born, Frankie A. Skyrine, who
passed on two years ago. Mrs. Zeiter
over fifty years ago experienced religion, uniting at the time with the
Baptist church. She has a sweet and
lovable disposition, was a kind and
generous neighbor and friend, and
well beloved by. all who knew her.
For many years she was an earnest
worker in the L. O. T. M. order and
was also a member of Zenobia Chapter O. E. S, at the time of her death.
Mrs. Zeiter leaves to mourn their
loss her huaband, Samuel Zeiter; two
grandchildren, Zillah Balnes, of Ply-
month, and Blanch Heath, of Lansing, one grandson, Milton Skyring,
of Lansing, and two great grandchildren. The bereaved husband has the
sympathy of his many friends in this
sad loss. Mr Zeiter is not at all well
as be is experiencing an attack of
the prevailing malady, the flu.

PRETTY HOME
DAMAGED BY FIRE
['Saturday Forenoon Blaze
Gains Much Headway Before Being Discovered.
Saturday morning the city fire de
partment was called to tbe home of
Mrs. A. M. Musselij where a spark
from the chimney had buried itself
in tbe roof and spread throughout
tbree attics before being discovered.
The firemen were on the job in
about 3% minutes after the alarm was
sounded but founa the entire top ol
the large house, under the roof, a
whirling mass of flames, and which
seemed almost impossible to sav£,
but the boys do not know of the
word "quitting" and set to work
with all energy. They fought stubbornly for the first thirty minuteB
with both chemicals and water, and
managed to keep tbe fire from
Spreading below the attic, except -for
two rooms upstairs where it crept in
from another part.
- In spite of this, a great deal of
damage was done to the furniture in
removing same from the building
and by water. Mrs. Museell places
her loss at $6,000, while Mr. and Mrs.
E. H. Waller, who occupied a greater
share of the house, suffered a loss of
nearly 83,000 from the same causes.
Both are insured but will not cover
the entire damage. '
At this fire neighbors and friends
gave valuable, assistance in tbe removing of the furniture and yet did
not interfere with the efforts, of the
firemen and for which both families
feel grateful. "*
In Memorium, -
In memory of Frank Pervorse who
was taken from us two years ago.
Often in the shades of twilight
Wben'wVre Bitting all alone, .
How the thot's that do come to us.
How w6 wish you could come home.
Friends may think we have forgotten
When they oft timeB -see us smile,
But they never know the heart ache
That is oovered with a smile.

U. OF M. ADDS
LITTLE TO
TAX BURDEN
\ —--——
Growth Requires More
Buildings. Will the People Respond?
Last Tuesday about seyenty-Bye U,
of M. alumni from this state met at
Ann Arbor, in response to, an invitation sent out by the Alumni Association for the purpose of obtaining
some first hand information as to the
present needs of the University. C.
A. Beading, accompanied by Mrs.
Reading, was in attendance, going on
Monday ao as to attend the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra concert that
evening.
As a state we are justified in tbe
pride which we take in our great university and very few tax payers are
unwilling to pay their share toward
its support- As a matter of faot the
cost per capita is so slight tbat it is
hardly noticeable.
It was the first State University
ever founded and baa been a pattern
for fifty others. Shall it continue to"
lead the way? The answer to that
question depends largely on the attitude of the present legislature toward
the budget submitted by the regents,
and.we trust they will give it careful
consideration and not cripple the
university by a short-sighted and
false economy. When we consider
that the University's request for its
great program for the next two years
will cost each person in tbe state lesB
than one dollar, and that last year
each person in tbe United States
spent for candy $3.35, soft drinks
$2.72 and tobacco $14 28, it would
hardly seem that we can say that we
can't afford to grant the University's
request.
Here are some facts to be considered: i a
1. ' The present student enrollment
is about 11,500. Since the war its en
rollment baB increased 4000.'
2; In 1919-20 its increase was nlore
than Dartmouth's whole enrollment.
3. In three years its added burden
nearly equals tbe whole enrollment
of a university the size of Yale.
-. 4, Every- department is overcrowded and tbe wurk is severely
hampered by lack of recitation room.
5. The hospital has twice as many
patients as it was originally intended
to house.' The state must maintain a
hospital for its sick and crippled and
where is a better place than at the U.
of M., where it can have the able
services of the medical faculty. The
new hospital is partially built but
nothing has'been done on it for two
years on account of lack of funds. It
should be completed and $2,300,000
'is necessary for that;
6. There is need of a nurse's
home. At present they are not decently nor comfortably housed.
More land should be purchased for
the new buildings at a cost of approximately $600,000.
8. A place for the storage of-coal,
to permit tbe buying of a year's supply at cheapest prices,* should be
provided. Such a place would have
paid for itself in the past five years.
9. The heating plant must be enlarged.
10. The maternity hospital is so
crowded that as many as, four patients are now'crowded into one
small room.
President Burton, in the two years
he has had charge of tbe University,
has proven himself to be one of,the
leading educators and executives in
the world. He is capable of wisely
directing tbe school during its remarkable growth, but his hands are
tied unless tbe funds are supplied.
ROAD ENGINEERS

State Engineer Bowler, of the
Highway Department, of Lansing,

Together they wili go over the sanitary and storm sewers and make the
final instructions preparatory to beginning the work.

OUR FOL£S in THE
GOLDEN STATE
This is the winter season when
there is ordinarily a lull in business
and industry, but tbls winter there is
no lull, Activity is notable and general. The country is prospering, it
just has to prosper when Industry
thrives, and when business is brisk
and labor is well employed.
California produced last year from
crops, to the total value of nearly
$400,000,000, this was a record, It
proves to tbe world that California
produces gold from tbe top of the
land as well as from underneath it.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Lewis are both
under tbe weather witb colds, as are
a great many at present.
I called on the Oliver's the other
day and found them out enjoying
their new Packard.
Mr. Lamoreaux has recovered from
a bad attack of asthma, the first be

Jane has a cold. '
The weatber is fine and warm,
every where can be seen orchards in
blossom, the orange trees are most
attractive, the mocking bird, Linnet
and Finch are building their nests,
their beautiful singing is charming,
'spring is here to stay, the rainy
season is past.
The Orange show at San Bernardino has been the finest tbat has been
seen for tbe past sixteen years. The
fruit this year is exceptionally large
and juicy.
Tbe produce exhibit of laBt week
was enjoyed by the many tourists,
the parade waB immense, one feature
of the floats was the largest sack of
flour in tbe world, it was sixteen feet
high and ten feet in diameter.
This has been a great tourist winter
tbe city is over packed witb them
and still they are coming.
Everybody here is practicing Dr.
Oouie's remedy, even the children
can be heard to say—"day by day
the neighbors say, we'a getting better every way," and on the streets at
any time can be heard, "Every day
in eyery way I am better."
Cal Terwilliger is still climbing and
be sure is getting up.' Mrs. Terwilliger spent Sunday with Mrs. Oliver.
Mary and Zanda Brodie have sold
their home and bongbt another one.
Wayne Meade spent a couple of
days at the Oliver home last week.
He is convalescing from an attack of
erysipelis.
When adnltB in the presence of
children express sympathy for criminals, is it any wonder tbat contempt
for law is imbred in the young.

And never favors friends or foes.
If caught in the act to court you'll go,
There is ho alternative -tint dig up

The obituary will appear next week. "Paved streetsand boulevard lights do not make a community." Suob was the declaration of Prof. Pierce of Central Normal in his very helpful address Wednesday alternoon, the third day of the big Oommnnitv Convention put over by the Clare Chamber of Commerce this week. But this was not the onjy good thing said that was worth while, as many would testify who made the effort to attend. According, to the program gates were to open at ten o'clock in Duncan hall, but the best of plans of mice and men, according to the illustrious Burns, "gang aft aglee." A train wreck on tbe Ann Arbor made it impossible for Mr. H. 0. Rather, Extension Specialist of the M. A. C, to reach here in the morning and the session had to be abandoned. But he arrived here in time for the afternoon program to start at two o'clock and gave an interesting and profitable address on "Alfalfa Crowing in .Michigan. It is be regretted that weather conditions making bad roads brought together only about fifty people to hear what this, man 'who knows bad to Bay about this important subject. Every farmer in the district would have profited had he been privileged to be present. But Mr. Bather made a great impression on his hearers, and was easily the big hit of the convention as be talked with his bearers and not at them. Tbe importance of Alfalfa as a profit growing Leeume was comprehensively explained, and Mr. Rather said tbat general conditions in our community made it very favorable to grow the same, It waB a good audience that faoed Mr. Bather Tuesday morniog at ten o'clock when he discussed the theme of "Better Seed—Better Crops." He told how the college had developed particular seeds which bad brought great success, not only there but with farmers all over tbe state. In his talk he emphasized tbe importance of good seed, He quoted instances of different men who had profited by tbe help rendered by the college in thiB line, giving addresses and suggested correspondence with them by any present who cared so to do. Two seeds are emphasized by the M. A. 0., Mr. Bather said. These are the College Robust Bean and tbe College Wolverine Oat. Owing to oonditions on the railroad the speaker for the afternoon did not reach Clare, so Mr. Harry O'Brien, tbe comedian and einger, entertained with songs and mono* iognes in a very pleasingjnanner. Tuesday evening was the big night with its splendid program at tbe public school, when the auditorium Was filled, with some standing, of little folks ana grownups. The evening's entertainment commenced with tbe community Bing led by Dr, A. E. Mulder. Five of the old time favorites, concluding with "America" were sung with fervor and spirit. A program of some sixteen numbers was very pleasingly rendered, demonstrating the faot Clare has talent of no mean order. No single number . can be praised above others for all - were good. The boys and girls with their Indian song and dance, and the cowboy song were pleasing features. There were vocal solos, mixed quartettes, ladies' chorus, double trio, quintette, whistling solo and violin solo. .The program was varied in its' character but big with human interest, and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The chorus of twenty-five voices, directed by Dr. Mulder, pleaBingly and harmoniously rendered two nice Songs", The comedian, Harry O'Brien, also added very much to the evening's enjoyment witb his songs and fanny sayings, P. E. Bradley sang two pleasing songs, in one of which he made a hit with the introduction or* an oft repeated Jocal faying, "Am I right Of atn I wrong." An orehes t;ra consisting of six pieoes added very amen to tbe musical part of tbe program. This organization consisted of Mies Kefauver, piano; Messrs. Peterson and Kirkbride, violins; Mr. Hanchard, clarionet; Mr.- Elden, cello, and Mr. Thompson, base. The concluding number was a pleasing folk dapce by ten girls in costume with colored light effects. 'Wednesday at 10 a, m., Mr. A. V. Freeman, Extension Specialist in Animal Industry of M% A. C, discussed the important subject, "Op- portunitie for Baby Beef Production" at Duncan hall. Mr. Freeman showed by statistics tbat baby beef has and is bringing better premiums over other varieties. He told of.'.the movement in Detroit market "to this end. • At noon upwards of 300 people enjoyed the big community dinner in the gymnasium of the public school. A pleasing program followed in the auditorium for the women and children. Little Miss Helen/ Lamb in dances, and local talent furnished the entertainment. Tbe meeting for men as Duucan hall was addressed by Prof. Pierce of Central Normal, Mt. Pleasant, who gave an interesting and real community talk. Touching on business conditons in general he tbought tbe present and future looked good to the farmer for he considered the bottom bad been reached as far as low prices were coucerned. Speaking of community life aud its needs, Mr. Pierce said paved streets and boulevard lights did not make a community. We must have folks, the kind who live and let live, who give themselves to its best interests. Prof. Pieroe made a hit with hearers and all enjoyed his contribution to the program. The upsetting of the Convention schedule through bad train service made it necessary for tbe committee unfortunately to cancel the engagement of Mr. Mike Noon of Jackson, who was to lead a discussion on Bus iness Principles of Farming. The Convention concluded with the dance on Wednesday evening in Duncan hall, and a large number enjoyed dancing the old and new seeps to tbe fine music rendered by Ryan's orchestra of Midland. Much credit is due tbe Chamber of Commerce for putting on this big three-day Community Convention, and which met all tbe expenses. It was unfortunate tbat weather conditions and bad roads seriously effected .the attendance, but the results have well repaid the effort. DR. EVANS HERE MONDAY EVENING One of America's Most Popular Lecturfirs--Call- - ed ttie * * Doug" Fairbanks Of the Lyceum Platform TheiOoit Lyceum Bureau had Dr. Evans scheduled here for, Saturday night, March 3. They said he was "booked solid'' for every, night and that they couldn't get him this far away on any night but a Saturday night. The wording of lyceum contracts is such tbat they have to be signed witn the dates blank, to be tilled in later &b desired by the Bureau. But tbe loca -management protested that Saturday night wouldn't do at all. Along back-came a very courteous letter stating that another engagement bad been cancelled to give Clare a-Monday night date. This all happened before the first number last fall, and before the (attempted) sale of season tickets. Perhaps as matters have since worked out, the Lyceum Bureau waB put to unnecessary inconvenience. At any rate, a good date has been secured for the appearance of Dr. Evans. • ^ Three of the numbers of this year's lyceum course will have brought to Clare men of national reputation, men who seldom appear in cities of this size. Edwin Whitney, who opened the course last November, was splendid; one of the best in his line of entertainment. Judge Alden was acclaimed by many of the few who heard him aa the beat lecturer who has ever been in this city. His talk to the high school in the afternoon, given without pay or thought of pay, was worth the cost of the entire course to the community. And Dr. Arthur Walwyn Evans is a more widely-known and highly-advertised man than either of tbe other two.- He is said to be a combination of Billy Sunday and Douglas Fairbanks plus a whole lot more that is uniquely and solely Arthur Evans. In any large city lyceum and Chautauqua course Dr, Evans would be headlined at a dollar or dollar-and- a-half .a seat. The admission price next Monday night will be balf a dollar for adults, a quarter for school people. In the school auditorium at eight o'clock. There will be one or two musical numbers before the lecture. MRS. SAMUEL ZEITER LAID TO REST Funeral Conducted From Home Friday With Interment; in . Cherry Grove. TO SENTINEL READERS. As it seems quite Impracticable for me to take up my residence in Clare at this time or to make frequent trips here as would seem highly desirable if I were to retain my interest iu the Sentinel, I have disposed of tbe same to Mr. Benjamin Parish, of Saginaw. I need not say tbat it is with a feeling of sadness tbat I realize I am severing forever my connection with the Sentinel. I have said many time, and now repeat, that tbe busjness men of Clare are the finest body of men on earth. They have in the past been very kind to the Sentinel. I hope tbat in the future, not only they but all others, may continue to be so and that the paper may, speaking after tbe manner of Mr. Coue, "From day to day and in every way, grow better and better." Very sincerely, Enoch Andrus." Central Michigan Union Sunday Schools Last Tuesday morning Samuel Zeiter, returning from the barn, where he bad been looking after his horse, was shocked to find his wife unconscious, sitting in'a chair.

Saturday morning the city fire de partment was called to tbe home of Mrs. A. M. Musselij where a spark from the chimney had buried itself in tbe roof and spread throughout tbree attics before being discovered. The firemen were on the job in about 3% minutes after the alarm was sounded but founa the entire top ol the large house, under the roof, a whirling mass of flames, and which seemed almost impossible to sav£, but the boys do not know of the word "quitting" and set to work with all energy. They fought stubbornly for the first thirty minuteB with both chemicals and water, and managed to keep tbe fire from Spreading below the attic, except -for two rooms upstairs where it crept in from another part. - In spite of this, a great deal of damage was done to the furniture in removing same from the building and by water. Mrs. Museell places her loss at $6,000, while Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Waller, who occupied a greater share of the house, suffered a loss of nearly 83,000 from the same causes. Both are insured but will not cover the entire damage. ' At this fire neighbors and friends gave valuable, assistance in tbe removing of the furniture and yet did not interfere with the efforts, of the firemen and for which both families feel grateful.

ADDS LITTLE TO TAX BURDEN \ —--—— Growth Requires More Buildings. Will the People Respond? Last Tuesday about seyenty-Bye U, of M. alumni from this state met at Ann Arbor, in response to, an invitation sent out by the Alumni Association for the purpose of obtaining some first hand information as to the present needs of the University. C. A. Beading, accompanied by Mrs. Reading, was in attendance, going on Monday ao as to attend the Detroit Symphony Orchestra concert that evening. As a state we are justified in tbe pride which we take in our great university and very few tax payers are unwilling to pay their share toward its support- As a matter of faot the cost per capita is so slight tbat it is hardly noticeable. It was the first State University ever founded and baa been a pattern for fifty others. Shall it continue to" lead the way? The answer to that question depends largely on the attitude of the present legislature toward the budget submitted by the regents, and.we trust they will give it careful consideration and not cripple the university by a short-sighted and false economy. When we consider that the University's request for its great program for the next two years will cost each person in tbe state lesB than one dollar, and that last year each person in tbe United States spent for candy $3.35, soft drinks $2.72 and tobacco $14 28, it would hardly seem that we can say that we can't afford to grant the University's request. Here are some facts to be considered: i a 1. ' The present student enrollment is about 11,500. Since the war its en rollment baB increased 4000.' 2; In 1919-20 its increase was nlore than Dartmouth's whole enrollment. 3. In three years its added burden nearly equals tbe whole enrollment of a university the size of Yale. -. 4, Every- department is overcrowded and tbe wurk is severely hampered by lack of recitation room. 5. The hospital has twice as many patients as it was originally intended to house.' The state must maintain a hospital for its sick and crippled and where is a better place than at the U. of M., where it can have the able services of the medical faculty. The new hospital is partially built but nothing has'been done on it for two years on account of lack of funds. It should be completed and $2,300,000 'is necessary for that; 6. There is need of a nurse's home. At present they are not decently nor comfortably housed. More land should be purchased for the new buildings at a cost of approximately $600,000. 8. A place for the storage of-coal, to permit tbe buying of a year's supply at cheapest prices,* should be provided. Such a place would have paid for itself in the past five years. 9. The heating plant must be enlarged. 10. The maternity hospital is so crowded that as many as, four patients are now'crowded into one small room. President Burton, in the two years he has had charge of tbe University, has proven himself to be one of,the leading educators and executives in the world. He is capable of wisely directing tbe school during its remarkable growth, but his hands are tied unless tbe funds are supplied. ROAD ENGINEERS MEET CITY COUNCIL State Engineer Bowler, of the Highway Department, of Lansing, and Dist. Engineer, O. M. Zigler, of Cadillac, are to meet tbe City Council here today and will go over the proposed paving of one mile of road twenty feet wide on McEwan street, tbe work on which is expeoted to begin early this spring. - ' Together they wili go over the sanitary and storm sewers and make the final instructions preparatory to beginning the work. allen Mcdonald died tuesday Death Follows Close on to That i of Wife of About Ten Days. Following close on to the death of bis wife, which occurred about ten days ago, Allen McDonald departed this life at his home in Vernon township Tuesday, A,s we go to press we are unable to get the details as to'the funeral, but tbe obituary will appear next week. OUR FOL£S in THE GOLDEN STATE This is the winter season when there is ordinarily a lull in business and industry, but tbls winter there is no lull, Activity is notable and general. The country is prospering, it just has to prosper when Industry thrives, and when business is brisk and labor is well employed. California produced last year from crops, to the total value of nearly $400,000,000, this was a record, It proves to tbe world that California produces gold from tbe top of the land as well as from underneath it.

This has been a great tourist winter tbe city is over packed witb them and still they are coming. Everybody here is practicing Dr. Oouie's remedy, even the children can be heard to say—"day by day the neighbors say, we'a getting better every way" and on the streets at any time can be heard, "Every day in eyery way I am better." Cal Terwilliger is still climbing and be sure is getting up.' Mrs. Terwilliger spent Sunday with Mrs. Oliver. Mary and Zanda Brodie have sold their home and bongbt another one.
