IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
M. POINCA RE.

 Certainty. positivity, egotistic self confidence, all feeling in fact that arises from the consciousness of exact knowledge, is characteristic of inex- perience.
 Youth knows; age is doubtful.
 Positiveness comes from Knowledge, and knowledge is what inexperience mas learned. Wisdom is what experi- ence has learned: and what wisdom feels most keenly is it's own provisori- ness, the deep uncertainty of all hu- man conclusions.

The Arcadia Ladies' Aid met on
Thursday, June 9th, at the pleasant
home of Mrs. Vern Bamber, 42O
Gratiot avenue. Had ex-president
Roosevelt honored our Aid on this
occasion he would have had no fault
to find on the score of race suicide,
for in gathering of forty-seven per-
sons of varying ages there were pres
ent nine babies whose ages ranged
from seven months to three years,
most of them being infants of about
one year. The afternoon was pleas
antly spent in conversation, needle
work, etc. Delicious refreshments
were served by the hostess assisted
by Division No. 8. Late in the after
noon a snapshot of the "Baby bunch"
was taken by Mrs. Arthur Davies.
Our next meeting will be with Mrs.
Byrd Clark of Arcadia, the second
Thursday in July. At this meeting a
literary program will be given.

PLAYS The BOY SPART
Mss NeVa Bailey AttlreS Herself In
Boys Clothing and Starts West,

The Grand Rapids Press of last
Saturday had the following item OF
interest to Gratiot county people:
81 wish | was a boy. could have
a lot more fun if | was"
In common with many other girls
pretty seventeen-year-old Neva Bailey
OF Ithaca, Mich, expressed this de-
sire many times during her young
life. Yesterday morning things did
not go very we'll in the home where
she lived with her parents and four
sisters and one brother. So she de-
cided to disguise as a boy and run
away from home.
Taking a suit Of clothes and cap be-
longing to her brother she started
out and walked as far as Alma. With
her she took a pair of scissors and
with these she hacked off the long
braids of brown hair which hung
nearly to her waist This she left
without any regrets by the roadside
and trudged wearily into Alma There
she went to a barber shop and had
the job completed, so she made a
rather handsome looking chap.
Parting her hair on one side, pull
ing her cap down over one eye to
look a little tough and thrusting her
hands deep into her trowsers' pock-
cts, Neva slouched up TO a Pere Mar
quette engineer whose engine was
standing near the Alma depot. She
told of being a little short of cash
and offered to help the fireman shovel
coal on the way TO Grand Rapids il
he would allow her to ride The en-
gineer and fireman consented and to-
day Neva's hands are covered with
callouses from the shovel she welded
Neva left home with just exactly
so cents in her pockets. She spent
half for hair cut and the rest for
food. Last night she met some
tramps in the railroad yards and they
wanted her to go with them to Chic
ago. She thought they suspected
her of being a girl and this so scared
her she ran out into the street and
found Patrolman Barrett.
Twelve hours as boy was enough
for her. "Home would look pretty
good to me now," she said as she sat
in Matron Whipple's room at police
headquarters. Neva spent the night
in a cell and the police have notified
her parents to come and get her.
She said her intention in running
away from home was to visit her
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Williams of Harbor Springs.

LAUPAUCH ACQUITTED
In Examination Before Justice {. N.
ChadwiCk-LaCk of Evidence.

The examination OF Stanley Lau-
paugh on the charge of the unauthor-
lied using of L. n. Sweets automo-
bile was held before Justice Chad
wick last Friday. Laupaugh was dis
charged. The examination started in
the morning and was not concluded
until late in the evenig.
Laupaugh claimed that he rode
back from Riverdale in the auto but
that he did not know it was Sc
cured and being used illegally. After
a very thorough examination of the
defendant upon the witness stand by
Prosecuting Attorney Charles Cog
gins, several other witnesses were
called but there was no evidence
produced that would merit the hold
ng of Laupaugh.
Mr.. I.aupaugh had no attorney and
made no defense himself other than
"a direct testimony. 1t was evident
It he was little familiar with the
Norkings Of the court as he asked
ror a jury. When it was explained
that he could have jury in the
higher court but that the justice court
was place for only preliminary ex-
aminations in such offenses, he told
the authorities to go ahead. 1t was
plainly a case of innocence on the
part of Mr. Laupaugh.

a very quick response was made by
the fire department. The fire did not
prove as serious as the vast amount
of smoke would lead one to believe.
