FOR CHURCH MERGER
State Divided Into Districts By Mich
igan Federation Of Churches

-
There is much sentiment being devel-
oped along religious lines relative to
merging churches already established
in the state and of organizing new ones
i'm places where there are none on q
broader and more liberal policy regard
ing UNCONVENTIONAL lines. AT meet
ing recently held To consider the ques-
ton, il was decided that instead OF
dividing the state into Is districts as
recently decided by the executive COM
mittee OF the Michigan Federation OF
Churches which met in Grand Rapids,
the state will be divided into eight
districts, with one minister and one
layman from each cooperating denom-
ination chosen TO serve in the districts
as aids to the state committee. Their
aim will be TO study local conditions
and recommend proposals for church
mergers or the cultivation of new re-
ligious fields.
The Grand Rapids district will be
composed of Kent, Ionia, Ottawa,
Muskegon, Montcalm, Mecosta, Newa-
go, Oceana, Mason, Lake and Osceola
counties. A third district conference
will be held at Sault st. Marie in June.

The June Women's Home Companion

The June Women's Home Companion
The June Woman's Home Compan-
ion contains an article, "rhe Vanishing
Husband" by Mary Heaton Worse,
which presents an extraordinarily clear
explanation of why IL is that men like
to get away from women and enjoy
each others society. The main conten-
ton i'm the article is that men can get
along without their women-folks but
women cannot get along without the
men. 1t is an article full OF able and at
times humorous observations.
The June Companion also contains
sketch of "Princess Pat" of Connaught;
an account of the recent dramatization
of "Little Women" description OF
what has been done in New York City
toward reducing the death rate of small
children; and report OF the progress
made i'm this country toward The accom-
plishment of sane Fourth of July.
Fiction of power, humor and reality is
contributed by Owen oliver, Kathleen
Norris, Virginia Tracy, James Open

of the steries are love stories because

Venezuelan Monetary Standards Must

There are at present In daily use In

system are In bolivars and centimos. Q

limos. although the smaller coin In
this system has o value OF cen

The second system has the peso
fuerte" or dollar" az It's unit. the
units being commonly referred to SIM
ply as "fuertes." This "fuerte" IL
taken to be equal to 8 bolivars and to
be divided into 100 centavos.
The third system has the peso

pesos" as its unit. This peso" has
4 value Of 4 bolivarstand IL considered
to be equal to 80 lcentavos. and to
be divided into 8 reals, while the
"fuerte' IL considered to have 10
reals.
Some few OF tho mercantile houses
keep their accounts with their custom
ers In "fuertss." but most OF the es-
Establishments render their bills In the
"peso."
When accounts kept In the last two
units are paid, they are transformed
into bolivars by manipulating by I'VE

being made by Venezuelan currency

Can't Rim-Cut

In all the million tires used, not
one has ever rim cut. The construc-
ton makes rim cutting impossible.
Six tapes OF 126 braided piano
wires are vulcanized into the base,
making il unstretchable. The hooks
Of the Inns are not necessary TO hold
the tire on-no possible strain can
force il of. The rings OF the rim
are reversed-the hooked side turned
from the tire. Then when the tire
is run partly or wholly debated, from
neglect or accident, il rests OH the
rounded side Of the rings. Ii can't

No-Rin7-CutTires
Why we sell them
10 Per Cent Oversize
Overlooking Saved

All cars are at times overloaded.
That means extra strain on tires-it
means blowouts and expense.
No-Rim-Cut tires are made 10 per
cent oversize. The form of construc-
ton makes that possible.
That 10 per cent oversize means 10
per cent more air, 10 per cent more
carrying capacity. That 10 per cent
takes care of the overload. Prevents
blowouts, saves all that overlooking
costs.
These two features-No-Rim-Cut
and 10 per cent oversize, on an aver
age, cut tire bills in two.
Can you not see why we recon-
mend the Goodyear No-Rim-Cut
tire? Can you think of reason why
you should not use this tire? IL
costs no more than other standard
tires.
Won't you call at our store and let
US show you this tire and fully ex-
plain its merits? You will come 10
the Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tire
eventually. Why not adopt it now
and stop the unnecessary expense?

New York. June 25.-The reputation
of the goods at the university Of Ne
vada as breadmakers has just received
a severe blow. A male student, compel
ing with 30 girls in contest, won the
second prize and came near to getting
the first.
The loaves of bread entered in the
contest were tagged with numbers, and
il was not until the judges had sampled
the products of the contestants and
awarded the prizes that it became known
one of the winners was boy.
There can be but one meaning to this,
according to more or less shrewd, or
satirical. observer. The men of the coun-
try are beginning to dabble in the affairs
of the women, and if the latter wish to
retain their places as queens OF the home
they would better turn swiftly to win
ming prizes as bread bakers, dressmak-

lacks Troubles Aboard Steamers.

Since the steamship has displaced the
sailing vessel, great changes have been
wrought in sea affairs. So gradual has
been the transformation that few have
awakened to the fact that the sailor
himself has changed essentially. In the
popular mind he is still Jack" of the
sailing ship days.
Life in sailing vessel had a sporting,
fighting element in it, painfully absent
from a prosaic steamer. 1t had fas-
cination unknown to steamship life.
When the anchor was weighed, sails set,
and wards slowed, the "chanty man
sang his song, and all pulled with
will. In the nervous, worrying haste OF
steamer work, the steam winches make
noise instead Of music and the 'ehanty
man" is ashore, singing his chanties IN
the saloons, and telling of lis departed
glory.
Steam and labor saving devices have
transferred the strain from the sailors
muscles to the whole crews nerves, re-
duced the size of the crew, and made
the smaller number bear a double bur
den. Steamers, particularly cargo yes

day, with a high indifference to wind,
weather and tide. In coal and ore eN-
porting ports the loading goes on night
and day.
Modern sea -faring men get less sleep
than any class of men we know about,
and have fewer Sundays. Sunday labor
is not common, but. on the contrary,
very rare in American ports. The same
could be said of British home ports,
but it is almost an established custom
in South America. In Spain, the &C.
clesiastica authority readily grants
permit to discharge or load cargo on
Sunday In the far East
where there amt no ten command
ments," Sunday labor is becoming in
creasingly common on board cargo ships.
1t is not an extraordinary thing for
man to have no Sunday in port for
months and years, if engaged in passen-
ger service where the sailing schedule
may be so arranged that his ship is al
ways at sea on Sundays Me-

Hastings on Hudson, n. Y, June 20
Seven persons. one of them woman

The strikers met the special deputies

The woman was hurried to the hos

ably die and that there was very little

The others who were shot include a
small boy who was playing in the streets
and four strikers or strike sympathizers.
As far as can be learned, there was no
return fire on the part of the strikers
or their sympathizers. The latter were
not armed.
The plant opened up yesterday morn

to work at the old terms. 1t was while

New York, June 25.-Three men, the

kept the merchants in the wholesale
drygoods district and the police on the
anxious bench for many months, accord
ing to Deputy Commissioner Dougherty,
were arrested Saturday night. The cap
ture had all the elements OF melo-

and frantic yells-and traffic was blocked
while the grim play went on. To make
il all complete the men have been found
to have spotted records, set down in
detail at headquarters.
The three gave the names OF Harry
Milling, Max Fishman and Harry Cohen.
All have many aliases, the police say.
Wholesale drygoods merchants have
lately complained of many thefts. Sat
urday night detectives had reason to be-
heve that ISL Broadway would be en-

until midnight, and then an auto drove
up and the men came out of the build
ing, carrying suit cases and bundle.
The police closed in and after short,
