STATE TAX ASSOCOATION SOUS! WRITES NEW MARCH AGAINST SINGLE TAX PLAN Also I rged to Cat Expense* t o Limit to Hslp Win War. Bay City. Mich., Feb. 28.—Resolutions opposing the proposed single tax amendment to the state constitution, and urging stats and local governments to reduce expenditures wherever possible that the money may be diverted to the task of winning the war were adopted today by the Michigan Tax association, meeting here. Professor David Friday of the economic department of the U. of M.. w a s one of the principal speakers a t today's aesaion. "All munloipslities should refrain from making public improvements that require floating of bonds during the war," he said. "We should put absolutely nothing tn the way of the government in floating its loans and spreading taxation." Any further extension of the income tax was vigorously opposed by Arthur Williams of Battle Creek. He also expressed the opinion that the federal reserve law was "the best piece of legislation ever put on the statute books." The confedence ended today with the election of officers.

What Is the measure of a man— The man—God-imagined, crowned with love. The man who, like the lowly Nszarene, Forever w s l k s with outstretched hand. H i s heart aflame with pity's Are, H i s ear forever open to The cry of earth's oppressed. Man is no larger in God'* eye* Than his compassion for his k>nd. f God measures man each day by muh s Capacity for brotherhood. Forgive as ye would be forgiven— The measures that ye daily mete Shall be remeasured unto you. This is the law. Where ere the children cry for bread. Where ere the suckling's wail cries out For mother love and mother milk; Where ere the orphaned child bows down With broken heart nnd longs for home— Thi« mnn of God will walk supreme And manifest with lowly mien The fatherhood of God.

JOHN DEERE 6 1 un
TO TNI W0*lD THE C K U FLOW
Mary Miles Minter in "Power That Preys" also • Pathe War News
H e had reached the heights of success. From an humble beginning as a blacksmith in a little shop he had become the head of a great industry. After fashioning the world's first steel plow in that little blacksmith shop of his younger days, he had steadily developed until he had become the world's leadi n g maker of steel plows. Hjs plows had been used to conquer untamed wilds in many lands. Civilization had advanced behind his plows. The world was more prosperous and happier because of his plows. Wherever agriculture was progressive his fiame had become a household word. John Deere had done much of which he might well have been proud. T o have risen by his own efforts from a blacksmith to a leader of industry, to have served the world greatly and to have received from the world recognition for his services—these were achievements to stir pride in the heart of any man. But John DeerC's ruling pride was not so much in the great end attained as in the great way in which the end had been reached. Reviewing his career, he felt most pride in the consciousness that he had never produced a plow of poor quality. H i s was the pride of the master workman. The simple pride that John Deere felt, is the pride of the makers of John Deere implements today. It is a powerful incentive to the maintenance of the high standard to which John Deere tools have been kept for eighty years. /

Less construction operations are to be undertaken this year t h a n in recent years, t h r o w i n g o u t of their r e g u l a r e m ployment m a n y carpenters, bricklayers, cement workers, and others. These men. accustomed to working s e v e r a l m o n t h s e a c h y e a r o u t of doors are not anxious t o seek indoor employment during their enforced idleness, and a s it is pointed out by a m a n u f a c turer factories do not w a n t t o "break" them in because they will leavs a s soon as building starts again. Most of these w o r k m e n c a m e f r o m tarxns o r s m a l l c o u n t r y t o w n s . They know something about farming, and n o t a f e w of t h e m h a v e back-to-the•oil ambitions t h e y hope to realize on when they have saved enough money to b u y a f a r m .
T h i s n e w idea in tractors will end f a r m labor shortage, according t o t h e i n v e n t o r of t h e A m e r i o a n tractor, J. H . W i e s t , w h o s e p i c t u r e Is I n s e t . T h e tractor, s h o w n above, is so constructed t h a t a binder, m o w e r or cultivator m a y b© a t t a c h e d b y . o n e m a n . It pulls a four-bottom plow and c a n be converted into a wagon. Other tractors pull these implements and in cultivating or harvesting require a n additional m a n for each implement.

"Hired tarm labor h a s become almost extinct," said B. W . Snow, noted crop expert and w h o m a k e s it his business to investigate f a r m conditions all the y e a r around. "Farm work is woefully backward. Wage® have advanced to figures unheard of in farming communi tisa, without producing a n y additional labor supply* The farmer needs help." The development of t h s tractor and t h s more general use of mechanical power on farms, opens a new opportuni t y f o r 1(1 le c i t y m e n .
In every

These hundreds of thousands of idle fields m a y be worked by city men, out of work because of the lull in building operations. It Is suggested that a group of these men get together and buy a tractor and a few other farm Implements on the cooperative plsn. They can lease fields, c o m living in deserted tarra buildings or in

You Can Help Win The War! Our soldiers most do the fighting. To fight well they must be fed w e l l . B a t t l e s cannot be won on empty stomachs. The Government most have wheat flour and the folks back home most provide it. If we are really American all the way through we will furnish our share by producing, by saving, by substitution. j There are a number of splendid cereal products which can be profitably and satisfactorily used in place of wheat flour. Rye Flour is one of them.'
