Practice of Thrift.
Speaking in a large way the principal job ahead of the United States just
now is to save money. The one great
necessity put upon us by the war, the
biggest economic need in America today, is to save money. In the past we
have not been savers. This table tells
the story. It shows for each country
the number of persons out of every
thousand of the population who are
savings depositors:
Switzerland, 554.
Denmark, 442.
Norway, 415.
Sweden, 404.
Belgium, 397.
New Zealand, 360.
France, 346.
Holland, 325.
Germany, 317.
England, 302.
Australia, 300.
Tasmania, 280.
Japan, 270.
Italy, 220.
United States, 99.
These figures are eloquent at once of
what is our need and eur opportunity.
The Town Pump.
A good place to feel the pulse of civic
life is at the public drinking trough.
The ebb and flow of animal life, as it
quenches its thirst at the public fountain, gives us an estimate of the wealth,
population and prosperity of the community; the character, habits and occupations of its people and the utility,
pleasures and hardships of its citizens.
There is no better place to study the
progress of the community than at the
town pump,./
Every vilj vge in Michigan should
have a town pump and every town with
waterworks should have a drinking
fountain where a stream of pure running water freely dispenses Adam's
ale to the thirsty populace. Pure water
and plenty of it is a good community
builder. i '
Report on Michigan Crops.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 30.—The crop
reporting board of the United States
Department of Agriculture has just completed its estimate of the acre yield of
the principal farm crops of Michigan for
this year. The estimates are based on
crop conditions during the early part of
October. The final figures will be given
out within a short time, but it is reported that they will not differ to any great
extent with the preliminary estimates.
According to the figures the yield per.
acre of the principal croups of- thig f^ta'-g

Embargo Also Placed on Shipments of
Hides, Skins, Etc., in Fight Against
Foot and   Month   Ailment.
Washington, Nov. 2.—Late this afternoon Seeret'ary Houston, of the department of agriculture, signed an
order, - quarantining the states of
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania against the shipment of any
cattle, sheep or hogs over their borders. A restraining order has been
issued concerning shipments from"
Ohio.
- The drastic step taken today resulted from the discovery of herds infected
with loot and mouth disease in the
first four states named. Until today
only four counties in Michigan and
two counties in Indiana have been
under quarantine, but the discovery
of the disease in other states convinced
the experts in the bureau of animal
industry that the entire states should
be placed under quarantine.
The reason that Ohio was not quarantined in the order today was that
no cases of the foot and mouth disease
have, been found to exist in that state,
but its proximity to infected areas
makes precaution necessary.
The quarantine affects not only
shipments of live animals, but prohibits interstate shipment of hides,
skins, hoofs, hay, straw and fodder
unless thoroughly disinfected.

A celebrated physician, who always
entered a sick room with a smile, was
asked how he could be living among so
many terrible diseases and yet not be
overwhelmed by them. He replied: "I
always look upon disease from a curative standpoint." Christ so looked
upon humanity and every believer who
in any wise has the mind of the Master
should have this optimistic outlook of
the world's ills. Present social, civic
and moral and world-wide conditions,
in the deep mystery of God's sove\eign
purpose, will eventually prove for'the
betterment of the human race.
Preparing for the International
Getting ready for the International
Live Stock Exposition, held'this year
from November 28th to December 5th,
is a task of vast proportions of which
the public has little conception. Each
year it has been the policy of the management to provide additional facilities
for exhibitors and enlarge accommodation for visitors. This work involves a
heavy outlay annually and its possible
reward is public recognition. Steadily
increasing attendance and growing
magnitude of the display of live stock
demonstrates the sagacity of the management in this respect.
This year the expanding disposition
of the enterprise has necessitated material increase in the show ground
area. The historic Dexter Park locality, noted, half a century back as the
greatest speed track in the world, is to
be utilized. A strong force of men is
engaged in the conversion process
which will be completed a month hence.
These improvements and enlargements
mean added space for exhibitors and
comfort for visitors.
Compared with facilities afforded at
the first "International" the housing
of that institution this year will be incomparably superior. Hundreds of
thousands of-dollars have been expended on permanent quarters and although
at no period of its career has the exposition lacked accommodation, 1914 provision in this respect will be. considet-
ably in anticipation of actual requirement.   ..
The Auto in the Field.
It is quite a common sight in Michigan to see farmers drive to the harvest
field in automobiles. It fakes a solemn sum of money to buy an automobile and it takes* good roads, as well as.
automobiles, to run them. ..
A joy ride in the harvest fields of this
state is one of the most exhilarating
experiences that is available""On this
continent and one that would charm a
tourist and convince a home-seeker.
A speedway lined with growing crops
and blooded stock is a landscape that
one seldom tours in a lifetime. In
mapping out automobile routes, the
Michigan harvest fields should be
given prominent position. Why not a*
"See Rural America First" campaign?
Complete Hay Mowing.
Michigan farmers produced 3,001;000
tons of tame or cultivated hay during
1914, according to the preliminary es-
timrateS'niade'by't'h'e United States Department of Agriculture. The yield
last year was 2,520,000 tons. The
product is selling for an average of
$12.20 .per. ton,, .compared with $12.60
per ton -in 1913.- - -The yield per acre
this season is 1.25 tons and the quality is one'per-cen't" better than the
average crop for the past ten years.
