FORMER  SALINE RESIDENT
RECEIVES CONGRATULATIONS
A "Washington, D. C, paper under
■dite of January 16 contains the following article headed "Many Happy
Return's": "
Dr. Charles Qmn Townsend today
is' receiving congratulations on his
fifty-ninth birthday. He was born in
Washtenaw county, Michigan. He .received degrees from the Michigan
State Normal sehool, the University
of Michigan, and the University of
Lei,psic, wihcife he made "a special
study of the physicology of plants and
is "the discoverer of several plant diseases. Br. Townsend taught natural
science and botany at various colleges
•and in 1917 he became the pathologist in charge of sugar plant investigation of the Department of Agriculture, which position he now holds.
He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science and a member of the National Geographic Society, Cosmos Club,
Takoma - Park Citizens, Association,
Masonic Order (Knights Templar),
and the Maccabees (subordinate and
supreme tents.)
A list of standard varieties for the
commercial fruit grower of Michigan
has recently been adopted by the
Michigan- State Horticultural Society, on recommendation^of "its experimental committee.
Believing that too many varieties
-were being grown in the state, with
the result that efficient marketing
of "standard" varieties was impossible and that fruits 'not adapted to
certain localities were being raised,
the society delegated its special committee to make a careful study of
the field with the idea of reducing
the multiplicity of kinds grown.
Representative growers from different sections and specialists from the
M. A. C. horticultural department
were included on this committee.
The apples recommended for commercial .growers are: Wealthy, Jon-
othan, Grimes (doubie-worke-d.) Mcintosh, Mameuse (Snow,) Rhode
Island Greening, Red Canada (Steel
Red,) Hyslop Crab; Duchess, plantings to be limited to southwestern
Michigan, the Spy to southern and
central Michigan, and the Wagner to
northeastern Michigan.
The Elberta poach was the only
variety recognized; for commercial
planting in the state. Ffeu-s include:
Bartlett, Kieffer, and Seckel for general planting; and the Clapp, Howell,
and Bose, together with the above
varieties for planting in southern
Michigan.
"OVER THE HILL"
TO BE  SHOWN HERE
The theme which evoked from
King Lear his immortal- plaint,
"How sharper thiah a serpent's tooth
it is. to bare a thankless child:" ijid
which caused Absalom to break the
heart of iliis aged father, David, King
of Isreal, has been used by William
Fox for his greatest photoplay, "Over
the Hill,'' which will be settn at the
L'berty theatre Saturday, Sunday
and Mopday.
There has been so much said in
tbe magazines and newspapers all
over the country anent the sensational run of "Over the Hill"' in Ne>w
Yorlj for tlie past year, that it seems
almost superfluous to dwell at length
on its merits, suffice ta say that the
superb film drama was made by William Fox from two of Will Carle'on's
celebrated "Farm Ballads," and has
for its theme the divine love of -a
mother. Hany Millarde directed the
| picture and   Paul  H.   Slcrane   made
