The Ionia Sentinel last week gave an
exhaustive review of the effects Of
local option in the county since its
adoption two years ago, which shows
that local option has lessened business
both in justice and circuit courts and
has SO far proven a saving to the tax
payers. This statement sums up a
review which includes the expense
caused by the taxpayers of lonia county
through justice and circuit court pro-
ceedings throughout the twenty years.
That the first full local option year in
Ionia county should in each OF the
matters of justice court witnesses and
jury fees, justice bills allowed by super
visors, circuit court expenses and cir
cult conrt jury fees, show reduced
expenses as compared with the best
records Of former years is a justification
in full for the best claims made in local
options behalf. The people of Ionia
comfy have clear and unimpeachable
evidence before them which convin-
cingly testifies in behalf of the con-
tinuance of local option in that county.
And that which is true of Ionia county
is quite as true of any other county in
Michigan in which local option has
been fairly experimental with.

Tinker the Law

The brewers of the big cities of the
state and certain politicians and some
OF the legislators at Lansing who favor
them and their interests in the liquor
traffic have put their heads together
and are framing up law to prohibit
the shipment of liquor and beer of any
kind into counties that have or will
vote 'dry." This is foxy and cum
ningly devised scheme in an at attempt
to defeat local option in the counties
which will vote on the question in the
coming spring election. 1t is well
known that there are in every county
men who want liquor and beer occas-
ionally for use in the home who are
opposed TO the open saloon and the
temptations it offers to the boy and to
the man who allows his appetite for
drink to get the better of his judgment
and will vote every time for shutting
out the saloon. The liquor men ar

shut off such men as this from getting

would eventually put the cause of local

THE Country Boy" at Powers

The theme of "The Country Boy, q
comedy of American life which comes
TO Powers, February, IL, ID and IA,
seems to be identical i'm spirit with that
Of "The Fortune Hunter" and it is
one that much occupies the public
MUD in day when shack to the land"
is an economic cry. A rustic youth
goes to New York, seeking his fortune,
experiences certain profound disillu-
stone in that quest, and finally returns
to his country home. There he estab
fishes himself successfully as the prop
rietor of country newspaper, winning
the regard of the community and the
hand of the girl he loves. Thus is the
dream OF nine out OF ten Of the workers
in the field Of metropolitan journal
ism" happily realized, though in real
life few of the dreamers are ever lured
away from the game as it is played in
the big cities. Not even 5000 circula-
ton at 81 a year and four years in Con-
gress overcame the curious, unsatis-
factory hut compelling fascination Of
the larger horizon. But they will love
the picture in the play. Mr.. Selwyn

ers were elected to fill all three OF
the vacancies that existed, these resig-
nations having been turned in since
the regular meeting of the board at

supposed to be, filled.
Two of the vacancies were in the

chosen to fill one of the grammar
grade vacancies. Miss Mathis made an
excellent record in her work in Ath-
ems, and is thoroughly equipped to
handle the work that will be assigned
to her. Her acquisition as a teacher
marks an excellent addition to the
teaching corps in the grammar
grades.
MIR. ]. L. Sinclair, of Hampton. Va,
was selected to fill the vacancy in the
high school corps. He is graduate of
Virginia Military Institute, and has
taught mathematics in that school for

Sumter's farmers have the smile that

received yesterday morning from all
sections of the county. Bounteous rain
fell Sunday, and even there, few To-
calities not before favored now have
all the rain needed for the time. At
Plains, which was exceedingly dry, the
rain fell abundantly Sunday night,
reaching from that point to Americas
and thence eastward. Crops are now
in fine form, and during the next ten
days there will be no complaint of
drought. Corn is already made, and
a magnificent crop it is, the county
over. Cotton is waist high, finely
fruited with a good crop already, and
promising an abundant yield. The
cotton crop is fully two to three
weeks ahead of the crop of last sea-
son, and hundreds of bales Of the
new crop will be marketed in Ameri-
