tbestate dry league that candidates
thoa avoiding tbe issue are usually
favorable to tne wets or indifferent.
Candidates of tbis county wbo returned questlonairea on wbleb tbey
indicated that tbeir stand' on prohibition and law enforcement was favorable to the dry s sa follows:
Sheriff—Franklin A. Brown, Clare,

Tbe questlonaire waa designed to
pnt the candidate on record as to bis
view on repeal, modification or enforcement of-tbe existing prohibition
laws. W. V. Waltman, superintendent of tbe Miobigan Anti-Saloon
League who conducted tha canvass,
in a statement announcing tbe re
suits, said: "It is our view that prohibition needs only a fatr trial to be
made a complete success. Our aim
in maaing this canvass haa been to
give to cur thousands'of dry friends
Information aa to the stand of candidates on tbis great issne. We feel
confident that tbe success of prohibition rests in tbe bands of intelligent
officials who have tbe proper regard
for tbe law and tbe proper ambition
to uphold it. It is the purpose of the
lesgue snd its thousands of friends
in Michigan to see that men wbo bave
pledged . to uphold prohibition and
enforce the law do so during tbeir
term ot office."
Tbe League bulletin states that
with the exception of the Socialist
candidate, all tbe candidates for U.S.
Senator, Emery, Townsend, Keliey,
Baker, Ferris and Titus bave indicated that tbey are favorable to prohibition and strict law  enforcement.

In tbe event or an early fro-t tbia

able to store tbeir oorn in silos will
tare much better than those wbo depend upon curing-/ it in the shook.
Tbis insurance against a partial loss
of tbe oorn crop which was planted

Important benefits of tbe silo, according to Prof. George Brown of' tbe M.
A. O. animal husbandry   department.

finances and eKpendrturea during
my term as Qovernor. Briefly, I am
submitting for your oonsldsratlon

on offlolai dajbk jrjg figures, open
to public Inspection."^S3_S5ir?!**'
ISJ. vary bad and wholly' unnecessary  -condition    of    our    State
finances   whlori   existed   -prior   to
1021   has   been   largely   eorrectsd.
The deficit of six million dollars,
which  the  present   administration
Inherited,_+ia* been^ wlg«d_o«t and
*t"SrS»ent we have a" very aims-—tn-
tial surplus in the treasury. Operating   and   administrative   costs, for
departments and  Institutions were
reduced  during  the flaoal  year  of
1921   by   $1,839,617.63   under   what
they were In 1920.   Your state Tax
for  1922  will   be  $3,140,489.85  less
than It was In 1921 and the lowest
since   1918.     These   results   have
been brought about by the application of sound business methods to
State affairs and the el I m'l nation of
the old brand of political management.     Ftyany of   your   charitable,
penal  and   correction   Institutions
were found, to be In a deplorable
condition   and   these  things   ha<>e
been   remedied.     We   are   meeting
their every requirement and ao rehabilitating them   that   they- will
function in the manner and for the
purposes for which, they were organized.   The simplification of governmental machinery has  made it
possible to cut out waste and extravagance' and    place    our    state
activities on the same plane of efficiency and usefulness as those of
privately v owned  enterprises.    Beyond all thla and what la equally
Important, your government In all
Ita  branches  has  been  kept free
from   graft  and   corruption;   free
from  control   by   Interests of any
sort,   potttloal  or   otherwise;   free
from the domination of thorn

would be as dry fodder," says Prof.
Brown, "and it> can be kept in ideal
condition as feed for an indefinite
period, whereas immature corn ae
grain bas little value after it Is frozen
and tbe dry stalks are of slight value
at midwinter. Silage, on- tbe otber
band, may be kept until pasture falls
the coming summer or held for nse
^during tbe fall and winter of 1923-24."
Many alios have been constructed
In tbmstate within tbe last few years,
bnt there are still great numbers of
farmers wbo fail to realise Ita many
advantages. Others pointed' out by
Prof. Brown are its economy, dne to
tbe elimination of waste of forage
wbicb results from weathering In tbe
field and from tbe,fact tbat tbe coarser parte of the stalk are not eaten;
Ita efficiency as a place of storage;
abd Its advantage In production In
allowing tbe farmer .to Increase bia
livestock holdings or reduce tbe cultivated acreage necessary to
tain those slready on band.

Family Reunion
Last week Thursday the family reunion of-the Hodkinson family was
beld at tbe bome of Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Durnln.in Vernon township.
Among tbose present were Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Hodkineon and
executives in a signed interview issued bere today, criticizing tbe so-
called 'predatory animal* campaign
in the upper penninaula- Y--"-;--•' ^*
"Faw- Miobigan taxpayers know anything about this method as squandering public moneys ho further this,tax
mad   governor's    personal    political
ambitions,     the    abatement     reads,
'lo the magazine section of tbe Detroit  News for  Sunday,   Aug. 27,   a ^
statement is given at tbe instigation'
of tbe-goyernor^ in which it is  shown
that one J.   Stokly  Lignon,   of  Arizona, la made chief wolf hunter over
Qroesbeck'e  thirty, salaried   soldlera
of political fortune.    The shows that,
for the first half *-ot tbis  year np to-
June 30, these vote-hunters cost tba
tsxpayere 904,000 fn good' money.   In
return for tbis tney killed, oe claim \
tbey killed, 85 wolves and 21* coyotes.
Under the old method  of 935  -aad)
bounty  which   Groesbeck   repealeeTL
tbese; animals would  bave cost the
taxpayers bat  »1*>,466..     Vet   ander-
the  salaried banters  they   eoec    aa
934,000,  or  «23,536   Increased   taxes.
That's for "half a year only.   B'» latr
to presume that tbe last  half of taw
year tbey will cost an equal amount,
or 947,070 more tban the   aame  work
cost under tbe bounty  system.   Referring to Groesbeck'a list of 30 salaried hunters tbe article says they do> v
not account for as  many  wolves sa
under  tbe    bounty    system,    which
means tbat.we are paying this/extra
947,070 eacb year for less   work.    'In
September, October and  November,T
says this astonishing GroeBbeck   article, 'we work  witb a  full  force  of -
men.'   In other  words the  primary-
comes in September and tbe election
in November, and of  coarse it's important to Groesbeck'a political  fortunes to bave a 'full force ot men on
tbe job,*not for wolves, but for votes.
I agree absolutely witb James Oliver
Garwood  that  tbe   Groeebeck-Joh-a
Baird system Is incompetent aad requires  complete  reversal  of  policy.
If anyone tells you thaV-the taxpayer*
of Michigan will long stand  for "this
