Y. M. c. A, STATE
CONFERENCE
Eleventh Annual State Boys
Conference AT Saginaw,
November $3.50.

What promises to be a most inspir-
ing sight and note worthy gathering
will be the one thousand or more older
boys of Michigan in Annual Conference
November $3.50, in Saginaw. This con-
ference is conducted under the aus
pices of the state committee Of the
Young Mems Christian Association.
Every year there has been an increas-
ing number of boys at these gatherings
from all parts of Michigan. Last year
seven hundred and fifty were present
from one hundred and twenty towns
and if is impossible to estimate the in
fluenee and power these gatherings
have had on the manood of the state.
The key word of the coming confer
epce is Cooperation and only through
the cooperation of the state committee
the city and county secretaries and
other interested parties has it been
possible to bring together many of
these older boys. This conference
should result in a closer cooperation
of all agencies touching the life of the
boyhood of Michigan, in the extending
of His Kingdom among the boys by
boys.
The program this year is an excep-
tionally strong one. Several speakers
of national reputation such as Mr.. A.
E. Roberts of New York who spoke at
the organization banquet of the Char
levoix county Y. M. C. A. just about
year ago; Mr.. C. C. Robinson, Interna-
tional secretary for employed boys, ALSO
of New York; Mr.. j. M. Artmap Of
Chicago, Dean of Boys Work, Institute
and Training SchoQl; Captain Ketcham,
the All-Ameriean football star of Yale,
and others have been invited.
Free entertainment from Friday
night until Monday morning will be
provided for all other boys from fifteen
to twenty years of age. Every boys
club, Sunday-school class, Y. NJ. c. A.
Group, High school class, or Young
Peoples Society may send two boys
who are fifteen to twenty years old.
At least twenty older boys and some
adults will make the trip from Charlie
voix county going Friday noon follow
ing Thanksgiving and returning Mon
day,
Four counties, Charlevoix, Gratiot,
st. Joe and Ionia, are to have a place
on the conference program. Wilson
Zimmerman of Boyne City has been
chosen as the representative from this
county and he will speak on, Cooper

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
HELPS THE WOMEN
Prevents Unhappy Marriage
and Divorce Out in Kansas

The big Kansas schools have the fig
ures to prove the assertion that domes-
tic science is divorce cure and Kan
sas is after the divorces.
There have been almost 1000 girls
who have completed the work in do
mestic science at the Kansas Agricul-
tural college, and according to the hest
available records about 1900 OF these
girls have married. AT the state univ
ersity about 1000 girls have taken the
domestic science work and I,200 are
married. At the normal school and its
various branches 1000 girls have taken
the work and about 600 are married.
Not single girl who took the COM
plete domestic science course at any of
the state schools has ever sought di-
voroe and as far as the information can
be secured not single one has sePara-
ted from her husband.
For three years domestic science has
been made part of the work in the
high schools of the state. The state
itself believes so much in the value of
this study that it pays each high school
5000 year as an inducement for the
school board to establish domestic SCI
ence. This money goes toward the
payment of the salary of the domestic
science teacher Now the state pro-
poses to aid the rural schools, which
will teach domestic science to the coun-
try boys and girls by requiring every
country school teacher to take six
months course in that work before she
is eligible to teach and the state will
furnish the necessary supplies to each
school district for carrying on the study
in the country schools,

Will Dsnounce Fake Cures.

As special feature of the Tuberculo-
sis Day campaign, December 9TH, The
National Association for the study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis will urge
clergymen in all parts of the United
States to denounce fake consumption
cures from their pulpits.
Millions of dollars are spent by church
members and others on valueless
remedies of this character, according
TO the associations records. Literature
showing in detail the methods of fake
cure venders will be sent on request to
any clergymen by The National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis, los East 22nd Street,

Sisters of Good Shepherd.

Two Sisters of the Good Shepherd
will be in our city next week to solicit
aims for promotion of their great work
of charity.
The Sisters of the Good Shepherd
and their work have been often and
still are misunderstood and grossly
maligned. The aim of their institute
is to provide a shelter for girls and
women of dissolute habits who wish to
do penance for their iniquities and to
lead truly christian life.
No one is ever forced to 90 or to re-
main in the house of the Good Shep-
herd unless by parental or civil author
ity. All the so called horrible" stories
concerning these institutions are call
umnies and slanders. Visitors are al
ways welcome and shown through the
institution. The majority of dissolute
women and girls who enter the Home
of the Good Shepherd, do SO in order
to do penance for their misdeeds and to
reform their lives. There, away from
temptations, occupied with prayer and
work, with the example of the holy,
self-sacrifioing and pure life of the
Sisters constantly before them, these
women, when they leave the house
generally become models of good
womanhood. Like Christ the Good
Shepherd these sisters raise up the
fallen and help them to new life and
new hope,
AS the inmates who knock at the door
of the Home of the Good Shepherd are
usually without means, the institution
is supported by charity. The home in
Grand Rapids was founded about ten
years ago. The ground had to be pur-
chased and the building erected and
equipped, so that the Sisters are still
burdened with heavy debt. Il is there
fore hoped that the good people will
offer their aims to promote the work Of
the Good Shepherd which these generr
Gus souls have undertaken for His
sake.-Contributed

Detective Burns
To Lecture at Temple Theatre
Next Monday Evening

Manager Eugene Adams takes pleas
ure in announcing a stellar attraction
at the Temple Theatre next Monday
evening, Nov. 10th, when VIM. j.
Burns, the greatest detective of the
present age will lecture on american
Citizenship" Regular house prices
will prevail-25c, 35c, SOC, 75c, and 81 90
and no one should miss this oppor,
tunity as the price is within the reach
of all. Mr.. Burns comes here direct
from New York, where he just arrived
from work in Europe. EAST JORDAN
is THE ONLY PLACE IN MICHIGAN
NORTH OF GRAND RAPIDS WHERE
MR.. BURNS is SCHEDULED FOR A
LECTURE.
Mr.. Burns has personality mat has
impressed itself strongly upon the rank
and file of our citizens and all are in
terested in hearing him. 1t is FORUM
ate that he is splendid speaker for he
has vital lectnre-one that the Amer
lean public will gladly hear. He has
lectured enough to demonstrate his
ability on the platform, and huge aud
fences have greeted him wherever he
has spoken. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills
declares his lecture to be one of the
best he ever heard.
A man is best able to lectur on SUBJ
jects with which he hiss become famil-
lar through personal contact and obser-
walton. William j. Burns, detective,
hero of thousand escapades, solver
of the greatest crimes ever committed
against society in our country, will lee
ture on what he knows the most about,
the perils to American citizenship.
At the present time the political and
social unrest in the United States,
bringing in its wake a complex civiliza-
ton, has given birth to problems of
great neutrality-suspicious. which at
tack the very heart of our progress
and prosperity. These problems are
many and varied, but no more serious
question has ever confronted us than
that of the social outlaw, the man who
knows not tbs meaning of true Ameri-
can citizenship.
The essence of Mr.. Burns lecture is
true American citizenship, showing
that lax observation of voters duties
creates evils. What is the worth of
good citizenship; where the faults;
what causes numberless criminals each
year, outcasts who prey on society?
How may we best remedy these social
evils and throw the strong arm of org
anized society about perverted minds
that they may be reformed, or at least
be prevented from harming society?
Mr.. Burns has dealt with the highest
and lowest types of Americans; he has
descended from the marble steps of the
White House into the haunts of the
underworld. Who is better able to
judge what constitutes good American
citizenship? Who has had chance to
better observe national conditions and
point out reforms that may remedy the
evils?
His lecture is ipterspersed with per-
sonal incidents and anecdotes, which
make it douby interesting. It is safe
to say that no more vital LECTURE has
ever been presented to the American
public.
