"When young boys and girls, all
minors, allowed to consort in road
house and drink as well Ne conduct
themselves in an unseeming manner IT
is time that blow was struck"
Sheriff Hurley of Kent county recently
made this statement touching condl-
lions AT Mill Creek near CIR nd Rapids.
n ok Fink, proprietor of saloon road
house, had five warrants issued against
him, each making case in itself. The
warrants included the selling OF liquor
To Madge Oates, age nineteen, the sell
ling of liquor to Anna Vanderveen, age
eighteen, with keeping open after clos
ing time at night and with keeping
open his saloon on Sunday. The sale
of liquor TO young girls at Nick Fink s
place, fully corresponds TO the status
and traffic of the usual brewery owned
saloon and that fact probably explains
why the Peterson Brewing Co., were
prompt in providing bonds for the sa-
loonkeeper charged with keeping dis
reputable place and with repeatedly
making sales of liquor TO young girls.
Through its prompt action in Nick
fink's behalf the Grand Rapids brew
cry named indicated its approval of the
sale of liquor TO young girls and of the
other violations of the law committed
by the Mill Creek saloonist.

NEVER LACKED FOR SOLDIERS
How Japanese Forethousht Supple

Brig. Gen. Robert X. Evans, says
meeting, just after the Russo-Japa-
nese war, a friend who had been
military attache with Oyama's army
in the Manchurian campaign, and ask
ed him what had been the most strik-
ing and noteworthy incident that
came to his notice during the war.
His reply was: Without doubt 1t was
this: In the battle of Mukden l no

field whose presence | could not ac-
count for from any information in my
possession | rode over and inquired
who they were. was told, These are
the reserves sent from Japan to take

killed and wounded in the next great
battle And there they were on the
field while the battle was going on"
ibis is a most instructive incident.
thought General Evans. Here Oyama
lost in great battle certain number
of thousands of men. The next day
they were all replaced by an equal
number of trained, instructed and
disciplined men. The army was as
strong numerically as before the fight.

the practical experience of the OFF,
