Vote"YES"
On Proposition to Borrow
Money for Park Purposes.

While there Is no contest that we
have heard of on at the Annual VII
lage Election this year, it is important
that every voter should express him
self on the hOn(ing question, and par
ticularly that he should express 1t in
the affirmative The directors of the
East Jordan and South Arm Board of
Trade have been working hard and
spending muck time In trying to In
duce new industries to locate at East
Jordan, and while there is one they
feel very confident OF securing, they
feel there are several more which they
have good chance of getting, il some
thing more than site could be offer
ed. Almost every hamlet in the
country which has any push, is offer
ing liberal inducements for industries
and questions Of bonding for from
SIC, 1000 to $50, ZOO, are noticed frequent
ly in the papers-usually for ''park"
purposes or some other improvements.
Our BOARD of Trade" had COM
mittee appointed TO look up means by
which they might secure funds to back
up some offers they wish TO make to
some manufacturing industries, and
that all interested may stand the eX-
pense proportionately, the bonding
plan was decided upon, a petition lay
ed before the Common Council and
fayorably acted upon in time to sub
mix to the citizens at the regular
Election-that's Monday-the 18th.
The Board of Trade is corporation
under the laws of the State Of Mich
igan and can purchase and sell proper
ty and is responsible so far as its re-
sources extend. and has a membership
OF over so citizens who wish the town
to grow, and desires to add to its
membership all who have the same
feeling at heart.
If they can purchase for few hun
dred dollars place which is desirable
for public PARK and sell 1t to the
Village for $4,000, using the d ifference,
which would be nearly the full amount
to spend judiciously In getting new
enterprises, II will make straight
deal for the Village so far as bonding
for public park Is concerned, and
should result In getting large ad-
ditional amount of taxable property
into the village.
This Is a small amount as compared
with other towns, but as we have
many other inducements to offer,
YhVch other small towns don't pcs ssess,

seeker after knowledge and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thctic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took n great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
beautifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, il we but take the pains
to find them. in the roots and herbs

cure of the ills and weaknesses pccu-

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely. with
out money and without price, as a
la Dor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen.
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
