Inclod.ing /'the amoupts now on and and to be realized' from the col Ce etion of taxes for the year 1909 andr *ter the payment of interest due onl #be first day of January, June and July, 1910, there will be to the credit of the various Township Fumds, the it 4okem.amountes, approximnatdly: t To th-t named abonds, $1,250.00; tI to the second named bonds, $1,250.00; to the third named bonds, $2,250.00; the fourth named bonds, $1r e KA.00; and when these credits are t applied to the outstanding bonds, there will be duke and owing the fol- r lowing amounts, respectively: $6, ' 25.00, $6,150.00; $23,000.00 and t ,850.00.. - q The 4ax now levied in each Town- $ -p whic~h issued bonds is .one-half g f one mill for the first named i ds; two mills for the second amed bonds; one and one-half mils4 fr the tihrd named bonds; and 0 'three mills for the last named bonds. q I?uring the session of the General i Assembly in 1909, at the& suggestion s ad recommendation of this Comn- ti mission, you passed certain, Acts lE athorzng the State Sinking Fund en Comissonl to lend sufficient e: amounts for the retirement of all t] the matured bonds. (See Aets 1909, k{ pages 322-327, inclusive.) But as a these Aets were only permissory and a: not mandatory, we were unable to obtain the loan for the reason .that t< the State Sinking Fund Commission a; gave preference. to the County loan~s S whih had been authorized at the ir ame session. b Of course, in years to come, all of s e bonds can be retired by the g esent method, but some of the bond holders are becom-ing impatient, and ti ~he present rate of interest is high, sa most of the bonds, as shown above b being seven per cent, bonds. Iti We respectfully recommend> tht you have passed the enclosed Aets, u which you will note, provide for the F borrowing of a sufficient amount to i take up all of the outstanding bonds, . both those which are due and those whih are to become due. They also require the State Sinking Fund Com-! mission to lend the money at five per cent. an~d if these Acts are passed, the loaps can be repaid With the same tax now levied and on. the basis of the present assessments, the &st named bonds -in six years, the second named bonds in five years, the third named bonds ia seven years ad the fourth named bonds in nine years. Should there be only a very slight increase in the assessments in 4i-e succeeding years, (and there will 4 hblesb a material increase) le loans may be repaid in one year ss in each instance. We recom ie::d the borrowing of sufficient mounts to pay both the bonds which re due and to become due, for the aason that we have no doubt but 2at those who hold the unmnatured onds will surrender them for their 3ce value in cash and this will re 11 in a saving of one per cent. per nnum on these bonds; and should I iey not surrender them, the money in be held in Bank by the County reasurer at a rate of interest prac eally as large, if not as large as the Loney will cost from the Sinking und Commission of tha State. We hope that these recommenda ons will receive your favorable )nideration, for in this manner, e tax levy will not be increased the ightest fraction of a mill and the aal payment of these bonds will be exelerated in each instance, MaV ars. All of which is respectfully sub itted. L. I. Feagle, Chairman. Jacob S.' Wheeler, Eugene S. Werts, Cole L. Blease, Commissioners. Fred H. Dominick, Secratary. ENEFITS FROM EX TERI5NATING TICKS. ractical Advantages Realized in Areas Freed from These Pests. The benefits of .exterminating cat e .ticks are being realized in a very 7actical way in the parts of the Duth that have been freed from Lee pests and released from 'quar itine. - Dr. A. D. Melvin, Chief of te United States Bureau of Animal idustry, in -his annual report re ,ntly submitted to the Secretary of griculture, has the following to 6y on this subject: 'An investigation receitly made r the Bureau in this territory shows .t great improvement has already sulted from this work. More eat e are being raised, and a better aide of breeding stock is being in oduced; calves grow faster, and Lttle put on flesh more rapidly dur gthe grazing season and go into' e winter, in better condition be use of the absence of ticks; they n be marketed without quarantine strictions, and* higher prices are ~ing obtainesd; dairy cows give a rger yield of Stilk, and values -of rm lands are en-hanced. Aside from s own observations, the Bureau has meived from peysons in'the released~ -rritory numer&us letters and other cpressions confirmi.ng the foregoing ets and testifying to the great ben its following the extermination of te ticks. ~ 'The ldifference between the prices alized for cattle from the tick in ~sted region and the prices of eat e of imilar grades from above the arantine line ranges from $2.25 to Sa head at the principal northern re-stock markets, without taking Lto'- account the improvement in ality and weight of cattle because the eradication of the ticks. As ore than 1,000,000 cattle from tira iarantined area a-re* annually sold these markets, it can easily ' be ei that the extermination of the eks means an annual increase of at1 ast $3,000,000 in the prices obtain i or southern cattle sold in north a markets. In addition to this, ie increase in prices -of cattle sold cally in the South would represent large sum. This -local inerease has ready bee-n fo' nd to amount to -om $3- to $15 a head in the terri iry recently freed from ticks. An ricutural official of one of the outhern States reports that calves the tick free area ,bring just tdou e the price that can be obtained for milar calves in the tick-infested re 'Heretofore it has been imprac cable to improve the quality of uthern cattle by introducing fine reeding animals from other sec ons, because such animals were li ble to contract Texas fever and -die ness protected by inocculation. 'urthermore, it is impossible for an nals to attain good growth and to . rK thrive when they are heavily infest ed with ticks. With the eradication of the ticks, however, the southern farmers are enabled to produce good breeding animals and to improve the grade of their stock." *.The Error of Apology. Good Mrs. Brown a din-mer party gave one night for them, pat And she'd arranged a splendid din- I ner, too; But the moment all were seated she look-ed sadly at the men And murmured: "Oh, I don't know what to k1; Somehow, things have turned out bad ly; there are things I've over- C looked; There are dishes burned, I'm fearful, C and some dishes underoDoked." F And she kept on apologizing till the guests at last declared b That a really splendid dinner had been woefully prepared. F Now Arthur Green was called on for a speech not long ago, A chance that Arthur Green was. glad to get, For he had an honest message, some thing men would ike to know, 'Twas a speech that, hearing, no one F would regret. But Arthur started out this way: "I can not make a speech; I'm really not an orat.or, the, art's h beyond my reach, la I'm afraid that I shall bore you, I'm R afraid I'll weary you.'' Though his speeeh was really clever, b: all were glad when he got through. r ,tl Now, in this worid of ours th-ere are a legion Mrs. Browns And Arthur Greens on every hand we know; N They spoil their own productions by the largeness of their frowns, And flaws that never would be seen T they show, They begin apologizing for the work they're going to do, And they make us all distrustful and N before they're really through. We've decided they are failures, for we only see their flaws That they pointed oat to start with thus they miss the worIA's ap. tl plause. d4 oung man, if you are going to do ad deed that's worth your while, ~ Step up before -the world and do pJ your best, .ti Don't pave the way for failire or give men a chance to smile By regretting you're not equal to the test,e Don't apologize for efforts that may feeble be or lame, Don't say that there are others who 'cocid better do the same; Display a bit of confidence in whatE you're going to dE And the world will very quickly put d& some cotnfidence in you. h -Detroit Free Press. t Pension Board.
