We received call, last Friday, from
Supervisor Heilmann, of Pinora town
shin, who Is one of our old subscribers.

The Ludington Record says "Sen.
ator Christiancy evidently thinks II
foolish to have friends and not use them,
his friendly relation with the President,
seems to make It possible for him te
