Michigan Land and Apple Show.

Michigan patriotism Is bound to
mount high as the result Of the first
Michigan Land Apple Show TO he
held at the Coliseum, Grand Rapids,
Nov. I 80 IL. The great display OF
Michigan fruit, Michigan grains and
Michigan products OF various Kinds,
together with the splendid presenta-
tion OF the resources Of the state, Is
certain to make any Wolverine proud
OF the land Of promise and achieve
ment in which he has his home. This
is TO be distinctly a Michigan show,
for the benefit of the whole Of Michi-
gan, and with all the people pulling
together to make the world awaken
TO Michigan's present advantages and
future possibilities.
Besides the extensive displays, every
county is to have an opportunity TO
set forth its own advantages in lee
ture that will be a part OF a notable
series of talks. continuing all through
the show. To make these talks pos
sible, the Land and Apple show man
agement this week contracted FOR
10, 400 square feet of additional floor
space, in the large two-story Annex
TO the Coliseum, now in the process OF
erection. The Annex Will also be
used for the Round Up Institute with
state and national speakers, for agri-
cultural, horticultural and Develop
ment lectures, for stereopticon talks,
and for other supplementary purposes.
Hours will be set aside for all counties
applying TO the Land and Apple Show
management for time in which TO tell
their stories. The securing OF the
Annex illustrates how the show is ex-
panding far beyond the original eX-
pectations. 1t will now have the
largest floor space of any indoor show
ever held Ia Western Michigan.
Tue Michigan Passenger association
has recognized the Importance Of the
Land and Apple show To all of Michi-
gan and has granted a reduced round
trip rate of one and one-half fale Oh
all railroads. This reduced rate has
hitherto been accorded only the two
state fairs at Detroit and Grand Rap
ids.

George d. Webb OF Chicago, who
has been spending the recent summer
resort season at CharlevoiX, writes TO
the Sentinel OF that city warmly COM
mending the no-saloun feature of the
pretty resort center and expressing
The hope that no change would be
made through which the return OF the
saloon would be permitted. Il think
| voice the sentiment Of large ma
jority Of your summer residents In
hoping that Charlevoix will continue
its remarkable progress aud not take
the serious backward step which the
reopening OF the saloons would GER
tainly imply. 1t is my humble Judg-
meut that CharleyOix owes no small
degree OF its prosperity to its summer
residents who establish their families
in the village or its vicinity by very
reason of the fact that 1t is clean,
safe town." Aud, vet when the ques-
tion of local option was first introduc-
ed in Charlevoix and Emmett and other
resort counties the representatives OF
the LIQUOR traffic declared that local
option would Kill the resort business.
The most prosperous periods ever
known in these counties have been
the seasons since the saloons were
driven out. AS is stated by Mr.. Webb
of Chicago the reopening of the sa-
loon in the resort counties would be a
serious backward step which it is not
at all probable will be taken.

The village Of Custer in Mason
county was The scene Of a distressing
saloon murder on Tuesday of last
week. John Burnstrom's saloon,
where the crime occurred, had proper
ly prepared itself for such a scene
through that Gay harboring and pro-
viding for several persons through
the process OF drinking themselves in
10 state uf drunken frenzy. As the
result of an effort on the part of Ed
ward Johnson 10 compel sumo Of his
saloon associates TO "drink or to
fight" Johnson was stabbed TO the
heart with knife in the hands Of
Charles Rush. Rush had been in
Custer but few months, cOmiug
there from Indiana for the purpose of
taking treatment for consumption.
A woman, Gusta Wertlof, was in the
saloon drinking with the Others when
the crime occurred. More than little
sympathy is felt for the perpetrater OF
the crime as well as for it's victim rs
it is recognized in Custer that the sa-
loon and its Influences were entirely
responsible for the bloody deed. And
this Custer saloon, TO which direct re-
sponsibility for the crime Of murder
is properly attached, was wen regu'

vouched for by the brewers organiza
