E ast Jordan Board of
Trade Will Hold First
Annual Banquet fore
part of March.

Preparations are under way for a
Banquet TO be given by our Board of
Trade at Loveday Opera House week
from next Thursday, March 5th. The
date was originally set for Feb'y 9th
j but owing to the fact that the arrange
tinents planned could not be carried
through it was decided to postpone
the event one week later. e.
A partial list OF speakers had been
engaged for the date originally SeJ,
bnt it is not known definitely now
that these can be ia attendance on
the date later fixed upon. However
IL is safe to say that several people
who are identified with similar organ
lza'ions In larger cities will be in at
tendance and give speeches in which
we hope Will BE- valuable suggestions
on furthering the interests Of the best
town in Northern Miehigan-East
Jordan.
The price for the Banquet tickets
have not yet been decided upon, but
will only be made enough TO defray
the expenses Of the affair.
The idea is good one-we need the
cooperation of every citizen in this
vicinity, whether they be farmer,
townsman or merchant, to further the
VI fare Of our town and community,
and this will afford good opportun-
ity to get together and exchange OPP
inions. Plan to be at Loveday Opera

Many Petoskey people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsi-
BILE for vast amount OF suffering and
i'll health, but there is no need to suf-
fer or TO remain IN danger when all
diseases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per-
manently cured by the use of Doan S
Kidney Pills. Here is a PetoskeY
citizens recommendation.
David Hastings, blacksmith OF 325
Water street, Petoskey, Mich. says:
Mrs. Hastings has used Doan's Kid
ney Pills with great benefit. This
remedy completely relieved her of an
annoying weakness Of the kidneys to-
gether with severe backaches and
pains in the small of the back. Since
we got Doan's Kidney Pills at the
Central Drug Store 1t has been a
pleasure for us To advise others who
suffer from complaints similar to
those Mrs. Hastings TO give the reme-
dy trial. We can vouch for the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills In cur
ing backache and kidney trouble"
