NOT EVEN A STAMP

BOTll .Mlchigiin and Texas arc cclclmitinK their 100th anni-versnries this year. Texas

asked for a $3,000,000 grant and some other concessions from the federal government.

Texas is the home state of Vice President Garner and also the home slate of the chairman of three major committees in the House. They got their $3,000,000 grant.

Cong. Crawford and Cong. Mopes were more modest. They asked that the poslofllce depart-ment make a Michigan stamp" commemorating the Michigan an-niversary. The postolTlce deparJ-ment refused to ^ive Michigan the stamp recognition — something that would have cost compara-tively little and would, no doubt, have resulted in stimulated sales in this state and to former Mich-iganders in other states.

KEY WORTH DEATH RECALLS HISTORY

THE DEATH, June 22, of 'Maurice R. Keyworth, eight days before he was to as-

sume the post of superintendent of public instruction, recalls in-stances in which major state ofll-cials have died while actually in office. Only three such instances are indicated by records contain-ed in the Michigan Manual, offici-al publication of the state issued every two years.

Most recent was the death, Jan. 18, 1935, of John K. Stack, auditor general, who was succeeded by John J. O'Hara, appointed by Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald for the bal-ance of the two year term. Prior to that, Fred L. Keeler, superin-tendent of public instruction, was the last elective official to die in office. He served from 1013 to April 4, 1919. Thomas E. Johnson was appointed by former Gov. Alex J. Groesbeck to fill the va-cancy. The first recorded in-stance of death taking one of the

Governor's ofllciaf family, was on an. 19, 1889, when James H. Mc-

Donald, lieutenant governor since 1887, was killed in a railroad ac-cident. Wis ulace was taken by William Ball, who was named acting lieutenant governor.

$3,500,000,000 IN THE HOLE

UNCLE SAM went "in the red" during the fiscal year end-ing June 30, by about $3,500-

000,000. How serious a threat does this constitute to our coun-try's prosperity? Let us set aside our political ideas, and consider the proposition from a purely business point of view.

The national wealth of our country was computed in 1928 to be $360,000,000,000. That wealth has shrunk because of depression, and it is doubtful if it is over two thirds of that figure today. On that basis, the United States spent IMr per cent of its wealth last year in an effort to recover pros-perity.

During the four previous years it went into the hole about $6,-600^00,000. So the United States government in five years has gone "in the red" about $10,100,000,000. This represents something over four per cent of our national wealth. On the face of it, it is not a very big proportioo.

But the government might gel into a position like that of a man who has some extremely valuable estate, but can't sell it, or find anyone willing to make a decent bid on it. Sucn a man is wealthy from one point of view, but he might not be able to pay his bills.

The final tft ability to pay proportion of the national wealth

e final test of i government's its bills, is not the

or income that has been spent, but whether the people will bear the load of taxation without throwing it off. There might come a time when taxaPon was so heavy that the peo/ie would be-come incensed ab/ut it. and lie down and refuse to pay.

The high price of government bonds indicates that the people still have faith, in government credit. But Uncle Sam shoufd have a care. He might run up such an. enormous debt that peo-ple would turn to repudiation with all the evils that would flow from such action.

"WE MISS YOU. DADDY"

TIHE FOLLOWING editorial was printed in the Rock-ville. Conn., Journal, about

a year ago. Thereafter, to the edi-tor's surprise, it was reprinted by most of the other papers of the state, and was used by highway safety officials,' insurance com-panies, accident prevention or-ganiiations, motorists' publica-tions and by others wno are fighting the great war against the toll of automobile deaths. Here it is—and any motorist will sure-ly think twice about taking chances after reading it.

"Tuesday morning there was a fatal accident on the Minterburn Hill and when the medical ex-aminer was going through the pockets of the dead man . . . . a telegram was found .It was not very long, just the ordinary ten-word length, but it was a message that would make anjr father hap-py. It read; *We miss you, dad-dy. When are you coming home?'

"That was afi. It was a message sent by one of the children of the man who was killed. IHe had re-ceived the message and was homeward bound. The clothes were minus money but in his pocket he carried that message.

"Those who have little children, and those who were once little children, can think of the great blow to the child when the father did return home—dead.

"'Daddy' will be missed by those children in the long years ahead. No longer will they have his support, his earnings, and, more important, his companion-ship.

"If ever there was a reason for people driving more carefully on the road, it is that they might get in an accident and deprive their own child or some other child of their 'Daddy.'

"More might be written, but just let us repeat those words: •We miss you. Daddy. When are you coming home?'"

Annual Flower Show To Be Greatest of All This Year; at

H. S. Gymnasium, Aug. I, 2, 3

Scott Thomas, 74 rnAMC mil I/rn Buried Here Sunday v l l u j n A L l V l j l i

REELECTED TO The annual Flower Show spon-

Herman W. Smith, 70, a well-known and highly respected citi-zen of Lowell for the past five years, was fatally injured at about daybreak on the morning of July 4th when he crashed almost head-on into a truck while enroute from Lowell to Traverse City for a few days' visit with his daugh-ter, Mrs. Beulah Mclntyre, and other relatives and friends.

The accident occurred on US-131, between Morley and Big Hapids, on a long upgrade when Mr. Smith turned out to pass the car ahead of him. Suddenly a truck appeared out of the heavy fog over the top of the hill anil the collision was unavoidable. Both the car and the truck were badly wrecked. Two of the oc-cupants of the truck extricated Mr. Smith from the wreckage and summoned a physician who ren-dered first aid, after which Mr. Smith was taken to a hospital in Big Rapids, where he passed away about one o'clock in the af-ternoon. In spile of a badly frac-tured skull and severe chest in-juries, Mr. Smith retained con-sciousness until the end. The third occupant of the truck sus-tained a compound leg fracture.

Mr. Smith's body was brought to Lowell by the W. A. Both ambulance, and funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Lowell Metho-dist church. Rev. R. S. Miller offered a prayer and made a few remarks, followed by an address by Dr. Hugh Kennedy, district superintendent of M. E. Churches and a close friend of Mr. Smith. Burial was in Alaska cemetery be-side his wife, the former Miss Effie Mclntyre, whose girlhood home was in that vicinity. Besides his daughter mentioned above. Mr. Smith leaves a son. Herman C. Smith of Detroit, a brother, two sisters and five half-brothers and sisters.

Mr. Smith was born in Canada in 1805. About four years after the death of his mother, the fam-ily moved to Mancelona where Mr Smith learned the trade of carpentry under his father. He later become a minister of the Methodist church. He was pastor at Thompsonville, Clarion and Old Mission and might be called the founder of the Asbury Church at Traverse City, building largely with his own hands this church and the parsonage. While living in Detroit, Mr. Smith served on the Boards of Trinity and High-land Pork churches. Five years

o, his material world crashed _jout him—his fortune lost and his wife in a new grave, he came to Lowell. During his residence here, Mr. Smith was an active worker in the Lowell Methodist clmrch. finding time and means to remodel some of the church, organize a fine class of young leople. which he named the Wes-.ey Class, and provide a place for them in an unused portion of the church. „ „ _

Of Mr. Smith, the Rev. R. S. Miller says: "Richly human, his life having been deeply fertilized by suffering, he blessed with his faith and generosity. He was a blessing to the circles of the peo-ple called Methodist, with whom he affectionately fellowshipped.

New Law Changes Definquent Taxes

Those wno owe delinquent tax-es will be interested to know that a bill passed by the recent legis-lature and signed by Governor Fitzgerald extends the time for paying 1933 and 1934 taxes to November 1 next., without penal-ty, TTie new act calls for a col-lection fee of four per cent. That charge will take place of all other penalties and interest charges un-der the old laws, which would amount to as high as 14% per cent. The stale has always re-quired a collection fee of four per cent when Jaxes become de-linquent after January or Febru-ary each year, and added interest charges too.

The new act wipes out every collection charge except the four per cent on the 1933 and 1934 tax as levied. Property on which tax delinquencies for 1933 and 1934 are paid by November 1 will be in good standing, regardless of how many years of back taxes pre-vious to 1933 may be on the books. Another state law pro-vides that all delinquencies for the year 1932 and prior years may be retired under the ten year moridorium plan, with a ten per cent annual installment paid on the tax each year.

VILLAGE TAX NOTICE Village taxes are due and pay-

able on and after July 1 at my store daily except Sunday, from 8:30 a. m. to 5:30 p. m.

HUNDREDS ARE SEEKING HELP UNDERNEWLAW OLD AGE ASSISTANCE LAW

NOW OPERATIVE—KENT CO.

SHARE OF FUND WILL PRO-VIDE $200 ANNUITIES TO ABOUT 500

All applications for old age pen-sions in Kent county have been forwarded to Lansing, according to County Agent Ira M. Dean, and Grover C. Dillman, director of the state welfare department, has an-nounced that under the new law which became effective July 1, assistance certificates will be is-sued as promptly as possible to those who qualify.

Herman W. DeRuiter has been named representative for the Grand Bapids district, one of seven in the state, and will have offices in the Norris building.

Hundreds of new applications have been made in this county, according to Mr. Dean, in addi-tion to the 800 investigated and approved last year. However, it has been estimated that Kent county's share of the state fund will be only about $100,000, and that the average pension would be about $200 a year; thus only about 500 pensions could be paid in this county.

In explaining the new act. Dill-man has pointed out that this form of lid is not truly a pension, but rather "old age assistance." Relief is not given merely because of old age. but to assist eligible persons to live in their present surroundings rather than to be placed in public institutions.

The maximum amount that can be allowed is $30 a month. This, however, according to Dillman, does not mean that applicants ualifying for assistance are en-itled to receive, or will receive,

the full amount. The amount of relief will depend upon the in-dividual and the conditions found in each case.

Applicants for assistance must be 70 years old or older, a resi-dent and citizen of the United States, and a resident of Michigan for the 10 years immediately pre-ceding the date of application. They must be in need, and have no children or other persons, re-sponsible under the law for their support, able to support them. They must have an income of less "than $30 a month, property of less than $3,500 valuation, and personal properly of less than $1,000. The act provides that anv person disposing of property af-ter Jan. 1, 1932. will be assumed to have disposed of it to comc within the assistance provision.

After the end of this year, it is expected, fewer applications will be filed, the number being limited to those persons reaching the pension age each year.

Home-Canning Demonstrations

At Four Points "Can Early, Can Often" is the

slogan for the thrifty homemakers of today, according to Mrs. Mary S. Thompson, County Home Dem-onstration Agent.

Every household can assemble adequate equipment to successful-ly do home canning. Expensive equipment is not a necessity in home canning.

Canning demonstrations, show-ing the approved methods of home canning will be given by Mrs. Thompson in the following places:

Monday, July 15—Lowell City hall at 2:00 o'clock.

Tuesday, July 10—Byron Cen-ter, Odd Fellows hall at 2:00 o'clock.

Wednesday, July 17 — Cedar Springs high school at 2:00 o'clock.

Wednesday, July 17—Caledonia M. E. Church at 7:30 o'clock.

The homemaker today must maintain not only the reputation of being a good cook, but also has the responsibility of select-ing food which will provide for the growth and health of the family.

Home canning is the best means of providing a sufficient supply of these healthful foods for the win ter months.

Every one interested in home canning is invited to attend one of the eanning demonstrations. A canning bulletin \\ill be given to those attending one of the dem-onstrations.

use of the high school gymnasium for their displays and the ex-hibition room will be open lo the public at 2:00 p. m. Aug. 1. On Aug. 2 and 3 the show will open ai 9:00 a. m. and each night il will remain open throughout the evening.

1935 Showboat To Surpass AD

One of the manv pleasant features of the Lowell Showboat this year will be the dancers un-der the direction of Mrs. Marion MacDuffee of Lowell. Mrs. Mac-Duffee is a dancer of exceflent ability with much professional experience.

George Kerr, Jr., proprietor of a local lunch room, had a narrow escape from what might have been a fatal accident while re-turning from Grand Rapids on M-21 last Sunday night.

The door on Pete's side was only, partly closed and, as he attempted to close the door, it was caught by the wind and as il swung backward with the car going fifty miles an hour he was hurled out onto the pave-ment, but fortunately escaped with only painful bruises. His clothing was badly lorn. Numer-ous fatal accidents have resulted in this same manner.

"Our farmers and people living in the smallest communities will benefit as much as the city dwell-er from the Better ilfoiising Pro-gram." was the comment today of W. V, Burras, chairman of the local campaign committee, in stressing the wide scope of Title I of the National Housing Act.

"We have learned through the I'liiled States Department of Agri. culture." he said, "that out of every 100 farmhouses, probably .'>11 are under the desired standard of livability; that 15 need new foundations; 15 to 20, new roofs; 10 to 15, new floors; 111, new walls; and a large number lack running water and bath facilities.

"This modernization program offers the farmer the same means of bringing his property up to modern standards—also, of im-proving his barns and other build-ings—as is given the city home owner,

"Under this plan, the money for such improvements is available through a local approved linan-cial institution as a character loan, payable by farming-income seasons over a period of 3. and in

President C. H. Runciman of the Board explained lo the meet-ing that the Board was going to try to get approval on a WPA project for improving the play-grounds. building a black lop road, cement walks and fence. This project was to be a joint one with the Village Council,

Mr. Bunciman also explained to the meeting tfial, for the present at least, an additional school building would not be considered. As the situation now stands, il would be necessary lo construct such building under the Works Project Administration p l a n , which would throw about half of the cost upon the district, and the Board feels that this would be out of the question.

at 6:30, according to a card re-ceived from the boys. They got across the Straits of Mackinac later that night. The next day they came across a motorit bound for Seattle. The motorist had a wrecked trailer which the boys helped him repair, and, as a return compliment for their ser-vices, he gave them a ride to Marenisco, where the mountains begin. 525 miles northwest of Lowell.

Marenisco is one of the very few lumber towns left in Michi-gan. Here the boys saw crowds of lumberjacks in town to cele-brate the Glorious Fourth, dress-ed in plaid woolen shirts open at the neck, stag trousers, and knee-high leather boots with the soles filled with caulks—truly a pic-turesque sight and. as Harold writes, "the biggest men 1 ever saw." But the way the Fourth was celebrated was not so pic-turesque — the s a l o o n s were crowded, there were many fights and brawls and one man was killed.

That night the boys camped at some falls on Iroquois River, about four miles from the town. There was a heavy downpour of rain which soaked the boys as they tried to sleep and mosquitoes tilled their small tent to such capacity that "its sides bulged out." Then, too. there were snakes innumerable, A lumber-jack told the boys that the Iro-quois was filled with so many log jams that it would be impos-sible for them to negotiate the stream with a raft as they had planned. After receiving this in-formation, the boys decided lo leave the mountains behind them. Thev trekked their way to Duluth. to St. Paul, to Minneapolis, and, when last heard from, were en-joving the scenic beauty of the Dells of Wisconsin.

Perhaps first and most Import-ant of all we should remember that babies are human beings who suffer from the same discomforts as do adults, the only difference being that the little tots have no way of telling you about it except to cry. When fond parents are un-

meal to obtain relief but instead they shed some clothes. Therefore when the little youngster cries from excessive warmth produced by being over dressed apply the same rule to your baby and do not think It Ic hungry, particularly when It takes Its food regularly, but instead take off some of Its clothes and give It a drink of cool water.

Woolen garments should be dis-carded In hot weather since they not only Increase discomfort but may produce a disagreeable Irrita-tion of the skin.

It Is essential that the baby's milk be kept cold, and pasteurized milk Is the safest food. If refrigera-tion Is not available a simple but efficient Icebox may be made out of two corrugated cardboard boxes and a fifty pound lard can. The outside box Is enough larger than the inside box so as to leave a space of about three Inchrs be-tween them, which Is filled with sawdust. In the comers of the In-side box will be found more than enough space to hold the .baby's milk. The cover of the Inside box Is placed over the cover of the can and over the Inside box are placed several layers nf newspapers and over these the cardboard cover of the outside box. The materials nec-essary may be obtained for a few cents and since the ice will last for about three days It provides a very Inexpensive means of protecting the baby's food supply.

A sample of the above box Is on exhibition at the office of the Kent County Health Department where Its construction will be gladly dem-onstrated to anyone.

Farmers Benefitted By Ford Motor Co.

From ii recent Issue of the Country Home some facts with regard lo the benefits farmers are receiving from the Ford Motor Company a r t very clearly sol forth.

For instance this year the Ford Company will use 69.000,000 lbs. of cotton from 443,000 acres.

500,000 bushels of corn, the bar-

a

vest of 11,280 acres. 2,400,000 pounds of linseed oil.

Ihe yield from 17/500 acres. 2,500,000 gallons of molasse;

the product of 12,500 acres sugar cane.

3,200,000 pounds of wool from JUMMNIO head of sheep.

1,500.000 square feet of leather, from 30100 head of cattle, for up-holstery and hide glues.

20,000 hogs an- required lo sup-ply the lard oils for lubricants.

TOP OF THE KID WORLD

WHEN the champions who had won the regional tour-naments In the National

marble championship finally met at Ocean City. New Jersey, the winner of this historic meeting came pretty near reaching the peak of the kid world.

The old folks may say that the scholarship champion should be considered to have reached that eminence. But could anything give a boy greater happiness than the marble championship? For here Is a sport at which boys have competed for 10,000 years. Such a winner must have strong nerves, an agile hand, and self mastery In moments when the marbles seem to act like wicked little demons. Such a boy should be heard from when he strives for bigger honors.

THE BALD EAGLE SAFE

CONGRESS may not have been able to save the blue eagle from Its tragic fate, but any-

way the senate has moved to pro-tect the bald eagle from destruc-tion. Some may ask why anyone should be concerned about the fate of the bald eagle, a predatory bird who seems perfectly able to care for himself.

The bald eagle Is the emblem of our country, so we need to see him once In awhile and make sure he Is on his job. Some people consider him unworthy to have that honor. He will eat small birds and occasionally carry off John Farmer's chickens. But In a day when our country was feeble little Infant nation. It per-haps gave the fathers courage to think of It as an ea^Ie renowned for strength and courage. Let us hope the nation will develop the far vision of that bird, and Its fearlessness in meeting Its perils.

The Gmtctt Difficulty I think the greatest difficulty we

have to overcome in America today is due to our Impatience with the progress we are making towards re-covery, We must realize that while the Government can help by direct-ing some measures for relief and re-covery, we must help ourselves ky doing our share to give impetus to the Government's efforts. We ha?« the same country and basically the same businesses, factories and peo-ple we had prior to the depression, and business initiative must step forward if real recovery is to be achieved.

The theory we often hear ex-pressed that banks create business activity is wrong. Banking can only make a supplementary contribution to business activity. Bankers have the facilities and the desire to ex-tend credit, but business must ini-tiate activity by seeking the credit which is readily available to all worthy borrowers.

Let it be said for business, how ever, that business men are as eager as hankers to contribute towards re-covery, 1 think some of the trouble lies in the fact that too many legis latlvo measures have bean proposed for reform which leave an uncer tainty In the minds of business lead-ers as to their eventual outcome and effect Consequently, they hesitate to expand until the probable effects of such legislation are known.

The advantages of possessing a masterful mind are frequently ex-pressed in the ability lo absorb and utilize ideas, suggestions of

j others. One of Nature's anomalies | is that she rarely makes creative I minds executive. The successful utilization of a second-hand idea gives it currency—provides thr vehicle of expression needed to make it kinetic. Therefore, read much and critically, listen much and thoughtfully; do much and thoroughly.

Wrong Paints Cause Users Mfldi Trouble

Home Owners Shonld Select Right Kind Before Starting to

Repaint

Researches in the Forest Pro-ducts Laboratories reveal secrets other than the source of the wood used in the Lindberg kidnapping, according to Dr. F. L. Browne. Madison, Wis., who has been studying the reasons for the fail-ure of paint jobs on houses.

Most failures. Dr. Browne says, occur when the owner tries to apply white paint over an oid coat of colored paint. White paint over white paint also fails when the second paint differs in pigment content from the paint used first.

Use of the wrong kinds of paint in repainting buildings results in the scaling off of the pigment used on the new job and an un-sightly building within a short time after the work is completed. White or tinted paints used over brown, green, or deep red paints fail very rapidly and leave bad surfaces for repainting.

If a building is alreadv pro-tected with colored paint and the owner wants to repaint it white, it is better to remove all the old paint by burning than to invite trouble by trying to cover it with the white. Groups of buildings erected by corporations which kept exact records furnish accur-ate information on the dm ibility of different types of paint.

Changes of pigments used by paint manufacturers have been more frequent in recent years, and paints made from another pigment do not last well over old paint. In selecting paints, it is wise to select a good brand and then use the same brand again in repainting buildings.

The paints which most fre-quently disagree with each other are white paint over any full col-or, paints of the same color but made from different pigments, and paints containing varnish covered by paints which lack varnish.
