'That We May Realize Need for Conservation of Trees for t' e rulurr.
Forests enter into every business
and social activity. They are essential to civilization. They are in demand more each year for recreation
ancl the restorati n of health. Wo:ds,
fresh air and excercise in the open
bind up the ragged sleeve of care
better than medicine. It is Nature's
prescription, says the New York State
College of Forestry, Syracuse University.
The forests fjirnish employment
for one- million I three hundred and
fifty thousand persons. They supply wages annually amounting to approximately one Jbillion, four hundred million dollars. These indust-
industry ranks third in the United
States. But the forests stand second
ries represent an investment of twelve
billion dollars. In-value of output this
to none as an essential resource of
prosperity  arid c'ivilzation.
The universal importance of the
forest imposes upon each person the
duty to conserve and protect the forests. Tlie chief factor in forest con-
sevation is fire prevention. Fire is
the greater destroyer. Forest fires fre
clue a!im«-~t entirely to human carelessness ond therefore may be almost
entirely prevented by the exercise of
due care "which means the observance
of good forest manners. When we are
in - the forests**'**-' should not try to
prove that intelligence and decent
citizenship is a cloak that can he
thrrwn off.
We do not "burn our homes, oar offices, our personal property. We "go
to the assistance of him whose home
is burning. We do all we can to prevent such fires. That is because we
appreciate the necessity for co-operation, assistance and protection, in
preserving the home and office. There
is, so Tar as fire is concerned, no .£if-
ferertce between saving the honre and
office in finished lumber and th'e same
lumber before it is finished or as it
grows in the forest. If it "burns it is
your 'ess "because the nest time.van
r*-iy for a home or office or pay rent
the costs are going to he just that
nviph M-.-her b°pa:use of the reduced
si!,**--*--,- of co> Sarivtion material. Your
hole "and office are insured—they can
be rebuilt. How much worse is it to
burn the forest that is not insured
and which ean not he rebuilt in y---ur
time?
Forest "fires often destroy the forest soil so trees can not be grown on

Willi the opening of school on September 7, Washtenaw county will enter uppon the most iCorapletely organized educational program that it has
ever had. One hundred forty-two
teachers in as many different schools
will begin their work with the vigor
nnd freshness which, vacation has
always given the teachers of the
county. Hundreds of boys and girls
will come'back to school eager to try
their talents against the work of the
new grade to which they have been
pr moted.
Heretofore, because of the large
number of schools widely Scattered
throughout the county, the eounty
school commissioner has had to direct the work of these teachers and
Pupils through occasional institutes,
circular letters, and: one or two visits
a year. This year, through the mo-.
operation of the county board of supervision, the county school commissioner is able to inaugurate in about
seventy schools a systematic supervisory program similar to that which
has proved so successful in the
neighboring -counties of Oakland,
Wayne and Macomb.
The seventy schools which ■' have
voluntarily asked to participate ih the
supervisory program will be divided
i»»to grottos or zones of ten to fifteen
schools each. The teachers of each
zone will meet at some school in the
zone one Saturday of each month to
c-li-euss 'the success of their past
month's work and to make plans for
t.e next m.nth. There will, be a
helping teacher or school supervisor
in charge of the meeting, to lead the
discussion, and to teach demonstration-
lessons in the various school, subjects, so that the teachers may observe- the work of an expert in their
profession. During the month foll'rw-
ing each meeting, the helping teacher will visit t'ne school to observe tlie
work of the teachers and pupils and
to help them carry out the plans
which were made at the last zone
meeting.
The professional meeting for the
teachers will begin promptly at ten
o'clock. At one-thirty thrre will be a
community meeting for parents,
school officers and other members of
the community, to become acquainted
with the supervisory program, and to
Jt«cu=s school affairs. Parents will
also be invited to visit school in their
own district during the visit of the
helping teacher.
It has been the -experience of other
counties that special emphasis upon
the teaching of one subject at a time
in the supervisory program produces
the best results. Accordingly the
following program, has been adopted
for Washtenaw county this year.
October,   reading;  November, spelling and writing; December, arithmetic;     January,     reading:     February,
reading: March, spelling and •writing;
■April, arithmetic.
This does not mean that other subjects will "be neglected, but merely
that special effort will be directed
toward acomplishing better "teachini
ancl learning of the one subject being
emphasized each month.
To carry on this supervisory pro-
"ri.ii wil] require the sen-ires of two
hei'-ing teachers. Zones I, II, and HI
will be in charge of the "Normal,
•callege-under the supervision of W. C.
Hoppes as they have , been for the
. ast five years. The college provides
the helping teacher for these zones
at no expense to the county. The
work of the other three zones will be
under the supervision of Mrs. Mildred
RobiSJi as authorized by tl*e county
board of supervisors in their June

The dynamic Tom Mix and his
horse, Tony, are presented in a different setting in "The Everlasting
Whisper," a stirring drama of Northwest, which opens a two day run at
the Liberty theatre Saturday.
Jackson Gregory's colorful narrar-
tive serves as a screen story :for the
popular William Fox star. There is
enough action to satisfy the most ardent admirers of his spirit of adventure. With Tony, Tom registers
several thrills guaranteed to bring
shivers of delight to the most "thrill-
i-.reof" movie fan. The superb horsemanship of the film star again add?
greatly to the enjoyment of the Story.
Tom is cast in the role of Mark
King, a wealthy young man who ljoves
the carefree life oif the great pine
forest. A girl from the city is hurled
into his heretofore peaceful life and
events follow quickly upon one another. In a short time Mark discovers himself madly in love with the
girl, Gloria.
The whole cast is highly satisfactory, but of course, the brunt o'f the
picture falls on the shoulders of Tom
Mix who generates more energy than
any actor on Hie screen.
Alice Calhoun, in the leading role
opposite Tom. is sweet and exhibltsi

"Robert Cain makes a most displcable
villain of his character, and is assisted in his villainy by Sid Jordan

That Michigan farmers Avho are
-producing kidney -beans this year
must clean out all sports from their
fields if they are to be insured best
marketing oupoprtunities, is the
warning being sent out by H. R
Pettingrove, crops department at the
Michigan. State college.
"Many kidney bean fields in Michigan have been found to be severely
contaminated during the past year or
two, while practically all fields have
shown the presence of some of the
sports," says Mr. Fettigrove. The
sport Is. a bean which produces a long,
vine-like plant and is very prolific.
It is easily distinguished in the field
"i-r.m tlie bush type kidney bean
Plant.
"It is important this year that
farmers go through their fields and
range out all plants which have a
foreign look or are of foreign nature
to the kidney bean itself. A day or
so In the field will make sure that
all beans are pulled which do not be-
l-'pjr there.
"Farmers who have had severe
contaminations In the past have found
it a bit hard to market their beans,
because of the percentage of the
sport Tbe cannerie= object to it be-
■cause the sport fades out during the
ivc-cess of cumins. The housewife
objects 'for the same reason.
"Wifh the large amount of dis-t
ease which is coming into the bean
fields at the "present time, all precautions should, be taken fco insure
a. better product for the market this
fall."
