The Mother and Daughter bannupr

a great success in every way. The
gentlemen of the church furnished
and served a fine three-course luncheon and the system of serving, under
the direction of George W. Seeger.
was so perfect that the 215 guest-
present were all waited upon with""
the short space of one hour and fifteen minutes, without a hitch of any
sort. And best of all, they had so
closely estimated the amount of food
that would "be required that with the
exception of a few beans, all was consumed.
The selection of Mrs. George Winkle for toastmistress proved a happv
one as she handled the situation to
perfection. Mrs. Theodore Feldkamn
responded to the toast, "Welcome,
Daughters.1' Mrs. Albert Henderson
and Miss: Clara Schroen rendered a
piano duet and Miss Mae Schroen
gave a vocal solo. Mrs. Buchanan
of Ann Arbor was the principal
speaker of the evening, and her address was listened to with much interest.

YPSILANTI, MAY 7
Because the Saline infield failed to
give "Mose'T Folk its accustomed support, today an excellent bit of pitching ability was wasted, and Ypsilant"
made the most of Saline's errors to
win 8 to 4. I
For the fifst two innings the game
appeared to ibe an interesting one, bu'
that was asjlong as it lasted. In thr
third with two out Ypsilanti scored
two on Saline errors, one at the ex^
pense of Lambarth and the other contributed by Bill Carr. From then on
they secured almost a run per inning
on nothing but errors.
Saline failed to register in the run
column until the fifth, when with two
out Batterson overthrew second, and
another contributed by F. Miller, let
in two runs. That was all until the
seventhf in which frame Lamb wa"
safe when Paul Miller failed to hold
the third strike. Bill Carr and Folk
added ciphers for their efforts, but
Jordan walked and Gross singled to
score both runners.
Mose Folk pitched his best game of
the current season, allowing the Ypsilanti sluggers only two hits. Both
were singles, and had the Saline defensive functioned anything like it did
at Belleville a week ago the score
book would have an altogether different tale to relate. '

State Senator Charles A Sink of
Ann Arbor is mentioned as a likely
candidate for lieutenant governor
of Michigan in an article written by
Frank M. Sparks, political writer
for the Grand Rapids Herald, appearing in a recent,issue of .that newspaper.
Mr. Sink has made no announces-
ment that he has that ambition,";the
article states, "but some of his
friends have urged it and Mr. Sink
admits rather coyly that the idea is
pleasing to him."
"He will go so* far as to admit
that he is considering entering the
race when the    time comes,  and if

CHARLES A. SINK
he does it is< a good, safe bet that
he will be a most formidable candidate," it continues. "It would be difficult to find objection to him on any
of the customary grounds. Although
he is personally dry, he has never been
an agitator on either one side or the
other. He has no entangling alliances other than his interest in the
University which is a most laudable
one. He knows the legislative mill
and he is square. Should he enter
the field he will have some tremendous elements of strength to start
with, and the guess isn't very bad
that he will enter."
Mr. Sink has had a varied experience in the legislature. He has
served four terms in the house and
is now on his fourth in the senate.—

FARM COURSE IN ELECTRICITY
New Booklet a Simple TextbookT^
District managers of The Detroit .
Edison Company are distributing to
the 8,000 farmers served by the company a new'publication called "Farm
Wiring," printed on cornstalk paper
made in Michigan mills. This book*'
let brings to the attention of the farm
family the many labor-saving devices
for the farm and the farm home
which do a variety of jobs from detecting burglars to cutting ensilage.
Non-technical and generously illustrated with actual photographs of
farms served by Detroit Edison, it
was prepared by the company's farm
service division, which is experienced
in both farm problems and in electric
services
A list of definitions of electrical
terms is given in simple language;
the booklet is written in a popular
vein so that it makes good reading, as
well as a reference book for the
farmer's bookcase. -^
The farm wife will particularly ap-\
preciate the chat on household lighting and the descriptions of electrical
household aids such as washers, irnn^
ers, ranges, refrigerators, etc.
"Farm wiring" discusses in simple
language such topics as farm lighting,
the application of electric power to
increase egg yield, to save young pigs
at brooding time, water systems for
the household and to increase milk
production by providing cows with
constant water supply in individual
fountains; also electric operation of
feed grinders, grain elevators, silo fillers, and.milking machines.

PHEASANTS NOW FILLING
NESTS WITH EGGS
The wild pheasants are now beginning to fill their nests with eggs, hidden in hedge-row, brush-patch, or
weedy field. Like the native partridge, the "ring-necked" is an early
nester.
To the many natural enemies with
Which these birds must contend, is
added the menace of grass, swale or
brush fires. "In the interest of the
annual crop of pheasants, field, swale
or brush fires should not be started
or permitted to run after the nesting season is under way. The ring
necked pheasant, as a species, is still
in the process of adjusting itself to a
comparatively new environment in
this state. If we are to maintain
and increase these birds as an outstanding game species in Michigan, it
is necessary to insure as favorable
conditions as possible for their natural reproduction, for the State
Game Farms can never propogate
and release more than a small fraction of the birds needed to keep/ the
guns satisfied and to supply the wild
breeders for succeeding years.
The sharpshooters in the Mexican
army must have lots of fun, because
if they hit anyone, nine chances out
of ten it will be an officer.
