LARRO EGG MASH
Completes the Job!
After the twelfth week, change your half grown pullets to "Larro Egg Mash. Feed it with scratch grains,
both in open hoppers. This ration completes development, brings the birds to maturity at the right time
and provides egg laying throughout the lifetime of
each bird. Lariro Egg Mash is unexcelled for laying
birds, also. It gets more eggs and better eggs—the
Jdnd that bring a premium for quality. Order a supply today.

Fred M. Greenstreet of Ypsilanti,
Republican candidate for state senator, was guest speaer at the meeting
of the Rotary Club, held at The Tavern last Thursday noon.
Mr. Greenstreet reviewed at some
length many changes in present state
laws proposed to the State Commission to Recodify Election "Laws and
which 'will come up for discussion at
the next session of the legislature.
Owing to their number he could not
dwell long on any one of them, and
some he could not get to, but he
held the close attention of the members for nearly an hour as he mentioned such changes as that which
will make it possible for the state
highway commissioner to hold his
job even though he does not happen
to be an engineer; elimination of
spring elections by merging them
with fall elections as an economy
measure; fixing the terms of county
officers, now two years, at four, and
township officers, now one year, at
two; fixing terms for state officers
at four years, instead of two; requirement that candidates must be
affiliated with a political party for
a specified time, this proposal aiming
at "turncoat" candidates; holding of
township and village elections at the
same time as regular primaries and
elections, as an economy measure;
and other measures.
Taken all in all, it was a very interesting as well as informative address and thoroughly appreciated by
an attentive audience.
Dr. P. W. Dierberger was a guest
at the meeting.

The landed area of Michigan is
57,980 square miles, exclusive of 40,-
000 square miles water surface of
Great Lakes within the state boundaries.
It is the second largest state east
of the Mississippi river. The upper
peninsula and the lower peninsula together are equal to the size of England and Wales  combined.
Her shore line is 1,624 miles. This
is the longest shore line possessed by
any state in the Union.
The population of Michigan was
4,824,325 according to the 1930 census. She ranks seventh in population.
The increase in population in Michigan from 1920 to 1930 was greater
than any other state with the excep-t

increase in 10 years in Michigan was
32 per cent; in California 65 per cent

A splendid group picture of a number of Pittsfield farmers in front of
their threshing rig appeared in the
Ann Arbor Daily News one evening
last week, and accompanying it was
the following article:
"Things aren't going so" well for
that grand old American institution,
"thresher's breakfast"—custom and
privilege accorded to the nation's
farm women to arise at 3:45 on warm
harvest mornings and prepare breakfasts for five to 25 ravenously hungry
threshers, and to spend subsequent
hours  over steaming   dishpans.

"A fifth, or sixth, ownership in the j

according to Arthur Heininger. It
may mean some cash savings in harvesting. It may mean, and undoubtedly will, more congenial companionship while, the work is being done.
It may mean that an owner's
threshing will be done at a time
more convenient to him than the
time which an outside machine might

Buddy Poppy- Camp will open for
girls on August 2, for a period of
four weeks.
The camp is located on a beautiful
site on the northeast corner of Union
lake, about seven miles west of Pontiac in Oakland county. It has accommodations for 60 girls, two in
each room. The program is administered by a director who plans carefully for the entertainment of the
children, and for their development
in crafts work.
The kitchen arrangement and
equipment are ideal for the provision
of the meals for which the camp is
famous. Nearly every child who
stays a week or more at camp increases in weight.
Campers are.accepted on any Sunday between 1 and 5 p. m., beginning
August 2, until August 23. Any girl
can stay any number of weeks up to
four.
The camp has been open for boys
since July 5 and has had full capacity registration for each week.
The rate is 55 per week per child,
payable 52 with registration, which
should be made in advance by mail
or in person, at the camp headquarters, 704 East Jefferson avenue, Detroit.
Only girls between the ages of 10
and 14, inclusive, and accompanied
by a physician's certificate, will be
accepted.

From The Observer July 7, 1881
Two young gentlemen, not a thousand miles from this place, we learn,
took quite an adventurous ride on
Sunday last. They started for Ann
Arbor in fine shape and with pleasant
anticipation of their visit there, but
alas for the uncertainty of things in
this life, before they returned there
was a runaway team, a demolished
carriage, and two badly "mussed up"
but not much  impaired young men.

Mr. Wilson,
Dear Sir:
Over fifty years ago at this time
of the year my father (the late Isaac

paper, so he always felt his time for
paying his subscription was in the
month of July. Now I wish to continue his long custom, as I would
greatly miss your paper. I am more
than pleased to read the news of so
many years back, so well remembered by me.
We are having an extremely dry,
hot summer up to the present, which
I fear will result in a great loss to
fanners in these parts. - Livestock is
being shipped to market in great
numbers on account of the dry
weather.
Yours respectfully,
