One of the problems the Michigan Anti-tuberculosis association is runing up against in helping the returned tuberculous soldiers to help themselves back to health is to make the men so returned from the camps or rejected by draft boards convinced they are really in need of treatment. It is a very human thing for them to do, to discount their illness somewhat. In the early stages the stages when it is the most easily curable tuberculosis does not make its victim ill. The disease is so dangerous, the Michigan Anti-tubercu-losis association points out, just because it is so insidious. But the soldier returned from camp because of the presence of the disease should make up his mind, the state association declares, that he needs attention, whether he feels ill or not.

He should apply to the state association for information and should attend the free clinics which are being conducted by this association in various parts of the state. LITTLE DAMAGE SEEN FROM FRIDAY'S FROST Friday night's frost, and It was noticeable in many parts of Ingham county, did little or no damage, except perhaps on extremely low ground. Reports from various sections of the county to local elevator operators show a most optimistic outlook for crops in this territory. Ingham county winter wheat, however, suffered to some extent and the crop is far from being as lusty as a year ago. Some spring wheat was sown, however, and many farmers substituted barley for the frozen out wheat.

Owing to lack of rains it is predicted that hay will be short of stalk although the crop is thrifty. Corn is nearly four weeks advanced over the 1917 crop at this time and beans are in the pink of condition. Ingham's bean crop, say buyers, will be a whale this fall with a favorable season. The acreage is said to be largest in the history of the county. Regardless of a slump in price farmers have put in a liberal acreage of tubers and the early potatoes are reported fine.

Oats and barley are unusually good. Fruits, however, have been hurt by early frosts. There will be few cherries. It is said, and hundreds of peach trees were frozen out last winter. Small fruits seems to have suffered generally from the rigors of winter.

The general conditions, however, are more than satisfactory to farmers, say elevator operators. ROUND LAKE. Special to The State Journal. ROUND LAKE, June 8.

ALBION The lowering of the As a Result Gun Club Scores Are Not as Good as Usual. Special to The State Journal. EATON RAPIDS. June 10.

At the practice shoot of the Eaton Rapids Gun club Saturday, the management of the shoot sprung a new stunt on the marksmen and made each of the events a 60-yard affair instead of 40 yards, as has been custom for the past few shoots, and as a result of this and the fact that a high wind was blowing while the shoot was on, the scores were not quite so good as usual.

Nisbet, secretary of the club, making the best average. Following is the complete score: Shot at.

Building Was Made Necessary By Wrecking of School in Storm. Specinl to The State Journal. ST. JOHNS, June 10. During a severe storm some time ago, the school house in District No.

AUTO SHORTAGE WILL BOOST USED CAR PRICES Automobile dealers in Lansing see an automobile shortage which will have a big effect on the value of the used car.

In fact, the prices of used cars has already been more or less affected this season owing to limited freight accommodations. This shortage has been relieved to an extent, however, by driveaways, although dealers are, in the most cases, being held strictly to their allotments. Curtailment of automobile manufacture is imminent. The government has already requisitioned almost the entire available supply of steel for the next six months. While there may be some steel for manufacturing uses outside of government needs, yet the curtailment will lie so great that it will automatically cut automobile production and possibly truck production, although the government looks with a favoring eye upon motor truck production because trucks are assisting in relieving the freight car shortage.

The price of used cars, it is pointed out. may not be materially affected this year. The real boosts will obtain 16 months from now. Some dealers declare that within two years, if the war continues, the used car will be bringing as much as it sold for when new, providing, of course, that it is in fair shape for service.

OLIVET, June 10. Olivet has a "Human Fly" in the person of Fred Campbell, a groceryman here. In some way the rope on the college flag pole slipped out of the hands of the person who was taking the flag down, so that the knot became entangled in the pulley at the top of the pole which is 105 feet in height. All efforts to get the rope out by pulling on it from the ground were unavailing, so President Mc-Pheeters asked Campbell if he would climb the pole and pull the rope over the pulley. Campbell, who is chief of the local tire department, with the aid of tennis shoes and linemen's climbers, climbed the smooth pole, unfastened the rope from the pulley and then slid down as much as he could, but not "all of the way," said Campbell, "because of the slivers." The flag pole is hard and smooth, thus making it very difficult for the climbers to stick.

Tourists' Guide Makers Pioneers of the Road In what measure the vast corps of scouts, pathfinders and data experts of the Automobile Blue Books work toward good roads development is known to few of the many thousands of motorists who annually tour by their printed instructions.

Elevent months in the year, these men are the Christophers Columbus of touring. They are explorers, seeking the best roads, but finding the bad roads as well, so that tourists may know best way to go from anywhere to somewhere else. They search out the treacherous, impassable road with as much care as though it were a new boulevard highway. For them, which way the tourist should not go is as important as what road is newest and best. And so, while they chart which roads are finest, they make it obvious for the Blue Book tourist what roads are expensive in the operating cost of his car.

in tire, fuel and general mechanical efficiency. Early last summer a party of these scouts, marking the route between two principal cities a hundred miles apart, found, as in previous years, there still was no proper highway. Rutty, stony road, almost impassable in wet weather, was the only available trail. They spent several days visiting in large towns on what should have been the main route. But nothing could be done with the boards of trade or chambers of commerce.

In almost every instance, the county powers winked knowingly and said that there would almost certainly be "a Government Post Road comin' through here pretty soon," and refused, therefore, to be interested even though they admitted the value of improved road as a feeder for produce and provision markets. The Blue Book scouts held a council of war. The big towns were hopeless. The small towns were not logical. They seemed not sufficiently prosperous to afford the necessary expense.

Nevertheless, they visited the small towns and arranged, after some difficulty, for a mass meeting of the farmers. When the conclave was held, the Blue Book experts laid the proposition before them. After a discussion of three hours, during which hundreds of questions were answered, the farmers voted to improve this road themselves, each being responsible for a certain part of the work of reclamation, and all of it to be done according to a common plan. In the spring of this year, again charting the roads mentioned for the 1918 Blue Books, the unimproved route through the larger towns was found to be as before. The lesser route, built by the farmers themselves, was being made over, many sections in concrete.

It is now a vital section of highway, numerous new hotels are built or under way, the population of the towns shows a tremendous increase and thousands of motorists, routed through this better highway by the Blue Books, have virtually forced the construction of hotels, garages, stores, all of which are waxing prosperous as a result of the building of the new road. The elimination of the railroads as essential factors In the shipment of farm products, because of the new highway, has caused a huge demand for motor trucks and farmers are enjoying a prosperity never before known in that section. GERMAN BOOTS HAVE HEAVY WOODEN SOLES AMSTERDAM The new German war boots and shoes which have recently been on display at a public exhibition in Berlin, are thus described by Vorwaerts: "Heavy, clumsy boots, made out of all sorts of substitute materials with paper uppers and wooden soles several centimeters In thickness, the weight and bulk of them is increased by huge nails and protectors with which they are studded. The price for these monstrosities is enormously high. While in peace times good durable leather boots could be purchased at about 12 marks, this war footwear for children cost 17 marks, for women 22 marks, and for men 24 marks.

"Moreover the purchaser is warned that the soles of the war boots will only last seven or eight weeks. As each wooden sole costs from five to six marks to replace, each pair of men's boots will cost the wearer at least 40 marks every six months.
