Michigan,   and    died    September  15?, !
1931, at her home in Saline, in her
seventy-ninth year.
'   She was the only child of Charles
Pope and Wealthy Kellogg Pope.
Following graduation from the Saline high school she attended the
Michigan State Normal college at
Ypsilanti for two years, later graduating from the Boston Conservatory
of Music. Her deep interest in music
and musical education was maintained throughout her life.
On October 8, 1873, sne was united
in marriage to Beverly Parsons
Davenport, To this union was born
one son, Archer, who passed on in
early childhood-
She is survived by her son by adoption, Arthur L. Davenport, of Detroit,
Michigan.
Early in life  she united with the
Presbyterian church of Saline; subsequently, because of personal experience in healing, she became an active
'and faithful member of the Mother
I Church of the First Church of Christ,

time of her demise.
Since the death, on April 16, 1930,

maintained her interest in affairs and
had continued in a quiet manner, devoid of ostentation, the many varied
benevolences and charities in which
they were formerly interested together.
Her life was one of innate culture
marked by quiet modesty; her high
moral and spiritual ideals were consistently practised and exemplified.
She has gone on before us, but the
immortal—our memories of this kind,
good -woman—and the things she
said, and the things she did. 'will
linger all through the coming, changing, changeless yea^s—a benediction
unto us and unto ours until time
shall be no more lorever.

Milk Producers Held Mass
Meeting at Milan School
Warm  Discussion   Centered  Around
Talk on System of Sale of
Milk at Detroit.
One hundred and seventy-five producers of milk in this community
were present at a special meeting of
the local branch of the Michigan Milk
Producers Association at the high
school auditorium last Tuesday night.
B. F. Beech, secretary of the state
association was present at the meeting and addressed the gathering.
Clinton A. Torrey was chairman of
the meeting and introduced William
Austin of Saline, a member of the
state sales committee. This is the
committee that has been setting the
price . of milk and disposing of the
product to Detroit distributors. Mr.
A.ustin compared the present price of
milk with the prices of other farm
products. As an example he displayed a bushel of peacnes grown on his
own farm and ^. said that last year
these peaches sold for §3.00 a bushel
and that this year tney were being
disposed )f at sevnty-five cents a
bushel. He then compared the price
of milk with that of a year ago.
H. B. Beech, around whom all of
the investigations and mass meeting
propoganda has been woven, was the
principle speaker of the evening and
he spoke clearly of the principles underlying the present system in disposing of milk to the Detroit distributors. He explained the base and
surplus, how it" was figured and why
the theory of selling milk under this
basis was equitable.
He said that the present industrial
and economic condition had decreased the demand for milk in the metropolitan area and the decreased consumption of milk had caused an overabundance of the product, bringing a
greater surplus.
For more than an hour Mr. Beech
answered questions regarding the
distribution of milk in Detroit and
the methods of selling to distributors.
The discussion became warm, at
times and irate producers repeatedly
sought to embarass the speaker and
the chairman was repeatedly forced
to use his gavel to call the meeting
to order.
The local members of the Milk
Producers Association will meet
within a few weeks to choose delegates to the state meeting in Detroit
which will be held in November.
Many of the local members are opposing the re-election of Mr. Beech
and Mr. Hull, the present president.
—Milan Leader.
"International service is an effort
to ascertain the causes of international discord and to aid in their removal by promoting understanding,
and good will among all people," saia
Mayor M- B. Sugden in his talk oi!
"International Service" before the
-Rotary club last Thursday noon.
"It encourages and fosters thi:
understanding through a fellowship
of business and professional men who
are united in the ideal of service.
The two basic principles upon which
the ideal of service is founded are
friendship and business justice, and
the attempt to extend them into the
relations of people and nations.
"Economic conditions and the
modern means ot transportation
make all nations close neighbors, ana
it is necessary for each'nation to
trade with others to maintain an.
outlet for its products and a source
of supply. Unless friendship and
business justice are maintained
friction in the form of fear and hatred are apt to develop. The enchange
of cultural and scientific knowledge
and the spread of more efficient
business methods are essential to the
'maintenance of tranquility under the
present complexities of modern
civilization.
"For the development and maintenance of a friendly and just relationship between nations two
agencies are necessary: one, a legal
system to define the-rights of the
parties concerned and adjust the
differences that are bound to arise
between human beings—an international tribune of justice; two, a
citizenry, within every country, that
is imbued with a spirit of goodwill
toward all people—the development
of such feeling among Rotarians and
the people at large is the task of
international service in Rotary.
In order that Rotary clubs may
promote this idea of .international
service among their members Mr.
Sugden offers the following suggestions to be used In the promulgation
of the effort:
1. Education of Rotarians.
(A) Through an international
service committee.
2. Club room displays.
(A)    Flags.    {_)      Maps.
.'3.    Club publications.
(A)    References       to       Rotary
around the world.
4.   By correspondence.
(A) Arrange to correspond
with a club in another country.
(B) Exchange of club publications with clubs of other countries.
(C) Exchange an occasional
letter with a club of another
country to be read at meeting.
(D) Encourage personal letters
among members with like interests in other countries.
(5)    By attendance.
(A) At Rotary conventions and
conferences.
(B) At local industrial and international conferences where
broad relationships are discussed.
(C) At meetings of organizations promoting interpeople
friendships.
By travel.
By study.
By programs.
Stunts, pageants, plays, etc.

J. Muir In Charge of
Sale of Hunting Licenses
Wiill  Give Service Free to  Enlarge
Revenue for Fish and Game
Conservation.
During the past month the department of conservation has increased
the number of dealers who will handle the sale of fish and game licenses,
and it is believed that they will be
more readily available to the public
than ever before.
In the past the department has
paid the dealers a commission rang-,
ing from 10 to 25 cents a license.
This fee was eliminated by the legislature of 1931 and the game protection fund will now receive the full
amount of each license sale. This
will result in an additional revenue
of about §60,000 annually available
for fish and game protection and development. '
Edward Muir was chosen in Saline
and the Bridgewater Lumber Company at Bridgewater to conduct the
license sale in this part of the
county.
