Many Thousands ot Dollars
Worth ot Property Periled  by  Blaze   in  the    ,
Racket Basement.
Firemen- Answer    Two   Calls
Within One Hour and Do
/ Excellent Work.
Last Friday evening the city lire-
men- were called into service twice
within an hour. The first response
at 7:00 took them to the" tenant
resident of Elton Allen on west 6th
street, but as this fire, which had
been caused by a spark from the
chimney lighting on the roof, had
been discovered early, little damage
was done.
About 8:00 o'clock they were again
called to The Racket Store, owned by
Mrs. S. M. Carrier, where they found
a real job on their hands on account
of it being a basement fire and which
..every fire department dread for well
they know that much suffering from
heat and smoke must be endured if
they conquer the flames. Nevertheless they set to 'work, some with
masks and some without, as they
realized that there were thousands of
^dollars at stake should the- flames
find their way to the adjoining basements, in less than thirty minutes
the blaze had been iubdued," but it
was considerable time before the
basement could be entered on account
of smoke and heat.
The stock of Mrs. Carrier was considerably damaged by smoke and
water, while the surplus stock in the
basement was a total loss, the both
being partially covered with insurance.
The stores of Harris & Hirt and O,
A. Derby were slightly damaged by
smoke.

THE OTHER FELLOW'S BUSINESS
The idea of providing things 'at
cost' is' running wild just now, being
promoted by the state-socialists, and
taken up generally by the public with
the reservation that it 'is always the
other fellow's business which should
be operated 'at cost'... Just now,
motor clubs are providing only insurance 'at cost.' But there is no logical
or practical lesson that prevents their
pushing ahead and providing their
members with automobiles, automobile accessories and repairs, automobile clothing, _ etc.,- camping outfits,
food and supplies, etc., all 'at cost'.
The logical conclusion, of course, Is
that all the population should be
united in one big club—the. State—
Which should provide every member
with everything needed at cost; and
that is socialism.—Contributed.
The attendance at the city schoolB
during the past month has been fine.
Many children who live in the rural
.districts are making special efforts to
get to school in time and to be there
all of the time. Miss Hachmuth|s
eighth grade tops the list of average's
for the month with an average of
96.7 per cent. The list of "honor"'

TO WHOM SHOULD
CHARITY BE GIVEN?
Deplorable Conditions in  Clare
„ County That Apparently
Cannot Get Help.
Editor  Sentinal:s—
There exists in this county, nearly
thirty miles by present roads from
this city, a woman very ill and long
under tho doctor's care.
She is . mother' of an ex-service
young man crippled in the late war,
and her old mother israTso with her,
—but blind-r-so that,cords haye been
strung about her room that she might
feel her way around a little.
This woman, having pneumonia,
lies on a cot in a cold room in zero
weather, unabje to' help herself, and
lacks proper- food, bedding, nursing,
etc.,- the husband tries to farm on a
rented farm but the frost killed all
he raised last season, and they are
without, work, or money to pay for
necessary sick room supplies, nurse,
or doctor, and over a mile from "other
habitation.
This case was referred to Mr.
Charles Weidner, as the nearest
county poor commissioner, but he not
only refused -to authorize any expenditures, but also refused to take
the matter up with other members of
the Poor Commission. Likewise Mr.
W. Arnold was asked to authorize a
portion of the expenses, but no re^
sponse was received.
Lastly,, the .County Chapter Red
Cross, though its recent President,
Mr. Ben Mercer, was appealed to for
a nurse, financial or other aid, which
appeal was made in a letter giving
fuller description of the unprintable
san|tary conditions, with other professional information, but no response
has been-received to date.
One doctor has already spent over
§65 on this particular family without
one cent of other returns except
slams, and it does not seem that the
doctors should personally assume the
whole of all such county charities,-
even though they are-used to it
through freely giving millions of dollars annually In time, study and cash,
to discover causes of diseases, provide
reliable scientific health information,
and relieve distress in cases as the
above, and this without maintaining
any press agents.
Does any one know of any charitable agencies in this county . (other
than the doctors) who could be Persuaded to take any interest in such a
deplorable case?
Respectfully,
J. A. "Reeder.

TEACH FORESTRY IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
J. L. Littlefield   Writes  In*
teresting. Paper on Important Subject.
Following we print an article written bp J. L'. Littlefield on .the important subject of reforesting the millions
of idle acres in Michigan and how it
can be accomplish on a large scalo by
the.public schools: ^
Teach Forestry In Public Schools
Now that the virgin forests of our
nation have been so nearly exhausted, experts, and men who have made
the subject a Study are able to predict that the end of our timber is
very near at hand.    . •
We do not need' an expert to tell
us this. Those-of us, who have lived
in the northern part of own state for
thirty or forty years have seen . it
with our own  eyes.
We have seen the great pine forests
of northern Michigan fade away be"
fore the ax and the saw of the lumbermen! So rapidly we have ' hardly
been able to realize it. But it is a
fact,' nevertheless. Our forests are
gone, or so near it, there is Only' a
fraction of them left, that once covered our ..land, and a large portion of
this fraction lies west of the Rocky.
Mountains,. and in the south. The
annual freight bill on lumber to supply the middle and eastern states, is
two hundred and fifty million dollars.  '     ■  '
We are faced with the stern neces-'
sity of growing new , forests. The
pieces of lumber, at the present
time,-is seven to ten times more
than they were twenty-five5 or thirty
years ago; when the cutting of Michigan pine was at its. heighth. What are
we going to do about It? Are we
going to set quietly down fold ouf
arms, suffer a famine of lumber and
see prices Soar, still higher? Are
we going to see our country brought
to the condition- China, and other
oasterh countries are in at the present time with scarcely a tree left of
saw log size? Thq hills and mountains to barren of trees, the people Of
the valleys, and along the rivers, suffer untold losses from floods and
overflooded lands. Is it not time we
started to do something in earliest?
To be sure our state has made_a start
to reforest a few thousand acres; and
our nation has made a grand begin
ning along this line,
magnificent^ national
parks, and more are being planned."
But the jwork is~not being pushed fast
enough or strong enough, neither by
state or nation. And the work .will
hot be pushed till the people Wake up
to the vital need and importance: of
reforestation. Let the people shout
aloud to our law makers, and give
them no rest till our 10",000,000 acres
of idle land is put to work growing
new 'forests. Let some of the money
that is being Spent on our highways
and trunk line roads, be used to
plant pine trees.
A Trunk line road Can be built
across the state in a season,, but it
takes a hundred years to grow a fine
forest. Plant the trees first, so they
can be growing, and build the roads
afterwards.' -   . -r- •     -
How can we get this matter- of reforestation before the people, get
them interested, get them to see, and
Understand the importance of it? The
papers and magazines, all over the
country, should Start a campaign of
education.        ,
Let the boys and girls in our public schools be interested by starting
a Christmas tree nursery on the school
grounds, or some nearby-tract of
land. The Spruce, Balsonv-and D6ugj
las Fir can be grown large enough
for* the Christmas tree trade, in from
eight to ten years. "-■•
By the time the boys and girls in
the 2nd or 3rd grades are ready to
graduate, these trees would 'be large
enough to put upon the market for
Yuletide decorations.

NEW INCOME LAW HAS
SPECIAL PROVISION
All Net Income up  to $5,000 is
1 Considered as "Earned
"Income."'
The exemptions under the reyenuo
act of- 1924 are $1,000 Jor single.persons and "$2,600. for married persons
living together, and heads of families.
In addition a $400' credit is allowed
for each person dependent upon and
receiving his ohief support from" the
taxpayer, if such person is under .18
years of age or incapable of self-support because mentally or physically
defecliye.
■ The normal tax rate under the revenue, act of 1924 is 2 per cent on the
first $4)000 of net income in excess
of the personal exemptions, credit
for dependents etq., 4 per cent on the
next $4,000, and 6 per cent on the
balance. Tinder the preceding act the
normal'tax rate was 4 per cent on tho
first $4,000 bt' net income" above the
exemptions and credits, and 8 per
cent on the remaining-net income.
The revenue act of 1924 contains a
special provision" for reduced taxes
which did. not appear in previous
laws. All net income up to $5,000 is
considered "earned income." On this
amount the taxpayer is entitled to a
credit of 25 cent of the amount of
the. tax. "
For example, a taxpayer, single and
without dependents, may have received in 1924 -a salary Of $2,000 and
from■."■a real estate transaction a profit
of $3,000. His total net income'was
-5,000. Without the benefit of the 25
per cent reduction his fax-would" be
$80. His'actual tax is $60. From his
net income of $5,000 he is allowed a
personal exemption Of $1,000; the tax
of 2 per cent on the first $4,000 is
$80, one-fourth of which, or $20. may
be deducted.
For the purpose of computing this
credit, in no case is the earned net
income considered to pe in excess of
$10,000. A taxpayer;nmy have received for the year 1924 a net income
from salary of $20,000, but the 25 per
cont credit can be applied to only
one-half Of'this amount,
