March rs, 1917.
Mr.. w P. SQuier, President,
Board OF Trade,
East Jordan, Mich.
Dear Sir:
Last fall we had some correspUn-
dence with you regarding the locating
of pickle sailing station in your
town. at that time we were undecid-
ed as To what new acreage we would
want To take on this year and wrote
YOU To that effect. but telling you II
later on we found We could take care
of any additional acreage we would
correspond with you further.
We now find that we are in posi-
ton to take on a somewhat increased
acreage over last year, and if the pe0-
pie in your town could guarantee US
200 acres Of cucumbers, we would un-
doubtedly be ready TO locate sailing
house with you.
We enclose you One-half dozen
copies Of our contract. Cucumbers
grown under this contract make a
very profitable crop for the farmer,
anu one feature Of his contract which
is especially pleasing 10 our growers
is the fact that we pay every day, as
the crop is delivered, making check
either on the local bank Ia the town,
with which We will carry deposit,
or through the merchants Of tine town
in case there is no bank. In this case,
of course, it would be through the
bank.
AS stated above, we would prefer
not TO consider station on under 200
acres, as less than this makes the cost
OF handling to us too high. Under no
circumstances, would we erect a
house unless we could have full $50
acres.
II yOI care to take this matter up.
we would be glad to have you advise
us at once.
Cucumbers, as you know, are not
planted before June lst and up TO
June Is II, and even as late In some
Cas- $ as July lst.
Very truly yours,
The Williams Bios. Co

far-reaching aud We urge each and
every man to lay al personal pr judice

Without question the city ballot

gentlemen who asked for re-eubmis.
sion Of the question have failed to

To The Voters of East Jordan

"The education OF our boys and
girls IS a matter Of vital Importance
to both home and state. An intellect
ual education is not all that is needed
to produce splendid. loyal citizens.
Unless Jife's training ripens the moral
force, IL becomes The tool Of seltishness
and sin, corrupted intelligence is
worse than misled ignorance"
lD the busy turmoil OF life are we
not neglecting TO stop aud look our
own actions in The face and see ii our
influence is leading to those things
that help the children.
Voters-Many Of your homes are
blest by the presence Of happy child
rem whose education begins at home
where they initiate the actions and
words Of father and brothers. Would
IL not be great injustice TO your
children il by word and action you up
hold and sanction anything that has
degrading influence upon the mind
and the body?
Father-Do you believe that keen
little chap at your home will shun
the saloon, in the future, If he knows
his father votes for saloon, sees
his father enter the saloon, aud smells
the saloon OH his fathers breath.
Should sickness overtake this little
fellow your most loving care would be
given TO save him. and your last cent
given To help him. Yet, at the same
time some of you seem to be willing,
yes. even anxious to place before your
child the dangers and temptations of
the saloon. Now by SO doing are you
not pushing your own child down to-
wards disgrace and helping to ruin his
soul and body9 Every child needs the
stimulating influence and helpful ex-
ample Of good father and mother.
1t is hard task 10 repair character.
Why not give your own children IA
fair chance and square deal" God
often secs heroes where the world sees
apparent failures"
Fathers-YOu cannot always be
present TO protect your pure and at
tractive daughter, therefore is 1T not
your parental duty and privilege TO
keep temptation and danger out Of
your city so that your daughter need
not be afraid because some Que f1rgets
his honor.
/ wish that we might remember
that tue child who must fight against
an inheritance Of dissipation does not
have fair and equal chance ia life
with the child whose Inheritance is
pure and healthy.
When you cast your ballot next
Monday will you please remember
how many mothers and children need
your help and sympathy because of
strong drink.
Young Men-East Jordan. your
home and mine, needs YOUR help SO
that she may become a city which
needeth not to be ashamed. May your
influence ever be on the side OF right
and when you are called to take up
the burdens your father lays down,
may you prove to be the loyal, and
honored citizens the world needs.
