BOARD OF COMMERCE WORK: — The Board of Commerce of Ypsilanti, Michigan, six years old, engaged in "renewing its membership" for the next three years, calls attention to a few Achievements that should interest similar bodies elsewhere. • When that town of 7,000 people wanted to celebrate its hundredth anniversary, its hustling young Board pt Commerce took $6,300 out of its treasury, furnished its own staff to run the show and had a celebration that is remembered far and wide. . When there was some question of a new motor truck factory moving to 'town, the Board of Commerce promptly raised a similar sum, and paid all the expenses of the moving—about a dollar jier inhabitant. When the 'town needed a good hotel the Board of Commerce saw that it got one. The board's regular work embraces such unusual activities as directing •an educational program for retail merchants to improve the town as a trading center, supervising a loan -association by which 50 deserving "Normal college students are enabled '.to remain in school, and putting ’through a good city-zoning system. Everything considered, it doesn't seem likely that the business and •professional men of Ypsilanti will •hesitate about renewing that membership. Another bit of evidence —if any were needed —that the radio has not .killed the phonograph is found in the news that records can now be made which play 50 per cent more music than old records of the same size. Other developments in the recording art are expected to increase the life of a record. Both of these things will increase the enjoyment of phonograph users and the popularity of phonographs. Longer records will mean the reproduction of longer musical numbers. Instead of giving only fragments of certain lovely instrumental pieces, they can be played clear through. Everything which tends to bring good music to more people is important and valuable. And neither music artists nor commercial musical interests have anything to fear from such developments. The public seems to have an infinite capacity for musical enjoyment. Music itself satisfies so many tastes and needs that the more people know about it the more they want it. Farmers can help increase the revenue for their land by planting a few acres at least in sugar beets. You never have to carry that crop . over from year to year. You know , the minimum price in advance and ' besides you have under your contract a profit sharing with the company. ' if the season turns out well and the price of sugar increases, you get the advantage, but whether it does that . or not you have a base price figured . on your costs, which with a break on weather conditions assures you a 1 good return. Dr. N. B. Ross, a “lifer” at Michigan City, wlip was out on parole and jumped the league, thumbs his nose at tiie officers who have started a nation wide search for him, writes ’lndiana newspapers that he is sailing for Havana ami promises to keep the people here posted on his change of address.

The annual report of the Decatur Light and Power department shows a continued gain that should be more than pleasing to the citizens here. The plant has been modernized and the improvements paid for and the administration is trying to make an institution that will help to build a bigger and better Decatur. You should be equally proud of the plant of the splendid statement just published. The expert pencil artists who operate the census bureaus tell us it costs six thousand dollars to rear a child until he or she is sixteen years of age. Now we wish they would tell us why if that is true the fellow with ten children who has According to this expended sixty thousand on his family, usually has as much left as the fellow who only brought up one or two. Where was the slip in finances? Prof. Huxley says in five hundred years there will hardly be standing room on this earth. We would bet a two-dollar bill he is wrong if he will figure out how we can meet him at that time to settle the wager. Any way its another argument for buying real estate. Reserve your standing place now. The primary campaign is warming up and the next three weeks will be busy ones for the candidates. They were all on the job today.
