cracked gasoline. Made from especially selected crude oil by the Dubbs process of cracking, it not merely avoids the "knock"—but it
really eliminates detonation. Try DND in

Milton Gross Prominent in Athletics
at the College.
If weeks of intensive drilling in the
Russian manual of arms and parade
formations can make a soldier out of
a screen star, John Barrymore is well
qualified. During the filming of
"Tempest," his new "United Artists
picture, which comes to the Liberty
theatre for Saturday and Sunday,
Barrymore went through every phase
of Russian soldier life; nothing was
eliminated, from early morning inspections and guard mounts to fancy
dress balls and other occupations- that
constituted a day in the late czar's
regiments.
To give the proper atmosphere to
the picture, a story of romance aim

"standing army" of fifty Muscovite
soldiers Was put under contract and
a large barracks, similar to those
used by the old Imperial army, was
erected. This building had room for
150 steel cots along two sides and
room enough in the center for inspection of a full company of soldiers.

Coach fL. L. Frimodig has issued a
call for freshman baseball candidates
to report to him for the start of
spring practice. Among the athletes
expected to play a prominent role on
the yearling squad this year is Miiton
Gross of Saline, who is an infielder.
Although the freshman team plays
a regular schedule of its own, one of
the most important of its duties is to
furnish opposition for Coach John
Kobs' varsity!. Several times a week
the yearlings S.1% herded over to the
varsity diamond inhere they are given
a taste of the opposition they can expect when they jaecome eligible for
intercollegiate competition.
Because of the excellent teams
turned out by Coach Kobs at State in
the past five years, interest in freshman baseball is intense. It is expected that out of this year's yearling
squad will appear; several men who
' can win places on the varsity in 1930,
when they will be called on to play
such teams as the "Universities of
Michigan and Notre Dame, and other
! baseball leaders of the middle west.

The farm home ownfcd by Ben Nieman, located about three miles south

whether the fire originated in a defective chimney or from electric wiring, The fire was discovered by Roy
Hartman, a neighbor, at 12:30 p. m.
He warned the family. Mrs. Nieman
called the telephone operator, who
spread the alarm. More than 100
persons gathered at the farm, but
the lack of water to fight the flames
made their efforts ineffective. The
house, was a ten room brick structure.

were born, five of whom survive him:
Mrs. Emma King and Mrs. Clara
Davenport of Milan, Mrs. Lydia Coon
and Mrs, Martha Stott of Jackson,
and Louis Fliehman of Detroit. One
son preceded him in death ten years
ago. He is also survived by three
sisters, Mrs. Julia Layher of Saline,
Mrs. Mary Luckhardt of Sebewaing
and Mrs. Louise Zumach of Spear-
fish, South Dakota; fifteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
fE*uher'al services were held 'Saturday, March 30 at Milan. Interment
at Manchester.
Passenger  of Bus  Line Engages  a
Room and Then Proceeds
to Go Crazy.
Excitement reched a high pitch at
The Tavern Friday night, when John
Ponchner nearly cleaned up on the
house. Prochner was a passenger on
a Chicago-Detroit bus which stopped here a little before midnight, and
claiming there were several fellows
on the bus who were trying to do him
harm, got off, registered and secured
a room. He" hung around for a time
until Mr. Smith asked what was
wrong with him and why so nervous.
"I am afraid of those fellows, they
are going to kill me," was the answer.
Finally Smith induced him to go
up to his room, but he was soon down
again. Not until nearly "3 o'clock did
he finally turn in, and all was supposed to be well. At 4 o'clock the house
was in an uproar caused by cries" of
help, and murder, from the room occupied by Prochnow. Smith, m
night garb, rushed to the room,
which was in darkness, the "Curtain
drawn tight and electric light dimmed.
He entered "to find the man frantic,
wrapped* in bed clothes and under the
bed yelling desperately. Just at this
juncture Dewey VanWormer and
C. F. Carney, roomers there, came to
the rescue and a genuine four-handed skirmish followed in the darkness
until most of them, nearly shirtless
and badly scratched, conquered the
crazed man.
Dr. Wallace was called and after a
few hypodermics succeeded in getting
him quite rational, so much so that
he gave Smith the address of his
[mother   at   Frontinac,   Kansas,   and
sked to have her notified. Later the
"heriff's force came over from Ann
Arbor ahd took him to the hospital

SOME DAIRYMEN GET
COOLIE WAGE SCALE
Testing Records Prove Part of Herd
Owners Receive Fpur Cents
Per Hour.
That some Michigan dairymen receive less for their labor than wage
paid to Chinese coolies is shown by
the figures obtained in herd improvement association records.   -
These figures show that the owners
of some herds receive a labor wage of
'four cents an hour after the cost pf
the feed is subtracted from the receipts for milk and butterfat. The
same records show that other members of the association are getting 80
cents per hour for their work with
their dairy herds.
Production records prove that one
third of the cows pay a profit, one
third break even, and one third pro
duce milk at a decided expense to
their owners. A dairy speedometer
consisting of a set of milk scales and
a daily weight sheet for recording
production is the only means of determining which cows yield a profit
and what are star boarders.
Size, age, or breed are not the factors which determine the productiveness of a cow, as the records of the
association show that cattle of the
same age, weight, or breed, may
vary in production by thousands of
pounds of milk. While the high pro
ducer may require more feed than
the poor cow, this extra cost is returned many fold in the higher
yield of milk and butterfat.
Boarders should be culled out of the
"^Michigan dairy herds, according to
statements of members of the dairy
department at Michigan State college, and the use of the dairy speedometer is advised in all herds.
