PROPOSES NEW

Geo. Van Pelt Has Plan For

Good.

very expensive proposition, and | be.

much better system than the one in

to be fifteen feet wide from Charlevoix

miles from this road will say, as many
of the farmers have said, "Well, I'll not

says is true, but don't believe 1t and
I'll tell you why. If we could have
such a road it would bring with even
only fair roads to CharlevoiX from
Chicago, Illinois, Detroit, Grand Rapids
and other southern cities at least five
hundred more automobiles than those
that were here this year. This
drive would make our country, in time
as famous as the great drives in Europe
and would bring thousands of people
here, and summer hotels would be
built as well as summer houses, and
new resorts would spring up all along
the line. The war now raging in
Europe will set our people thinking
more about their own country than
ever before and these resorts that take
advantage of this opportunity will be
the gamers. Surely no county in the
state or in any other state, has such a
climate to offer as has Charlevoix, and
the scenery around Pine Lake ought to
satisfy the most fastidious.
We have the opportunity now to
make Charlevoix County famous the
world over and the farmers living five
or ten miles away from the drive would
certainly share in the prosperity this
great mass of people would bring to us.

THE LIGHT ETERNAL
Attraction at Temple Theatre
Next Thursday and Friday.

There are few actresses on the Amer
lean stage, aside from the transcendent
stars, who can read lines in the classic
drama as effectively as Louise Dunbar,
who returns to the Temple Theatre
Sept 10 IL Fair week in the principal
role Of "The Light Eternal" highly
successful romantic drama of the early
Christian period. Many competent cri-
tics contend she is among the most sble
Shakespearean actresses of the contem-
porary stage first, because she has in
telligence and has undergone a splen-
did apprenticeship in the art; and
second, because abe knows the value
OF music in words. Call it elocution, if
you will--call it anything else; the fact
remains that she knows how to give
good writing the lilt cadence that
pleases the ear. Sometimes they call
it 'old-fashioned acting" when lines
are read intelligently and with ring.

Dunbar has the added advantage of

emotional fire.

"The Light Eternal" a big spectacu-
lar religious drama, is announced for
presentation at the Temple Theatre
Sept. 10-11 Fair week. This attraction
is unquestionably the most elaborately
staged offering yet attempted outside
the highest priced theatres of the larg-
est cities. The scenic equipment is
massive and the costuming gorgeous

actor-manager, Henry Miller as produc-
er. The cast is large and is made up
of carefully selected artists men and
women who know how to read the clas.

roles of the early Christian period.

Public Schools
Open Monday

The PUBLIC Schools of East Jordan
will open next Monday, Sept. 7, under
very favorable conditions. About two
thirds of last years force of teachers
will be on hand and the new teachers
have been carefully selected in regard
to character, training ana experience,

Ada Coleman of Alma, Mich, will have
the position of principal which was fill-
ed so acceptably by Miss Clark. Miss
Coleman has had several years ex,
perience as principal Of the high school
at Yale, Mich, and she was very sue
,4essful there. She will teach mathe-
mates.

school faculty is Ulrich c, Zeluff of

of study is placed in the hands of the
patrons with the intention OF securing
their cooperation in the selection of a
proper, course for each student. Two
thirds of the high school work is elect
i've but should not be left entirely to
the judgment of the pupil. The final
approval of the course is left to some
member of the high school faculty.
The new agricultural department of
the high school should fill the need for
that kind of training of the students of
the rural districts especially, and it
might be of more value to city students
than some other subjects of study.
Sooner or later East Jordan must rely
largely on its agricultural community
for prosperity and it is time that steps
were taken to offer young people an
opportunity to prepare for agricultural
work. This is the purpose of the new
course.

DRIED FRUITS REASONABLE IN
PRICE AS COMPARED WITH
OTHER FOODSTUFFS

Numerous studies made of nutritive
values by the Office of Experiment
Stations have shown that dried fruits
may be termed an economical article
of diet. Fruit products in general
contain little protein, but as sources
of energy, derived almost entirely
from their sugar, dried fruits are de-
cidedly cheaper than meats and COM
pare favorably with dairy products.
They are, however, more expensive
than cereals and starchy vegetables,
such as dried beans and potatoes.
Under no circumstances should
fresh and dried fruits be thought
luxury, since they supply the needed
nutritive material as an integral part
of the diet, besides adding to the at
Effectiveness of the daily fare If they
are to be eaten raw, brands made and
marketed in clearly way should be
obtained.
The amount of dried fruit produced
in the United States increased SIS per
cent between 1899 and 1909. Califor-
MIA produces more than four-ffths of
the yearly output. According to a
very rough estimate, each person in
this country consumes on an average
5 or 6 pounds of dried fruit a year,
The value of the product rose from
between four and five millions to over
twenty-one millions in 10 years. The
average wholesale price, however, has
not advanced with the increased de
mand on the contrary, it has dropped
from about 512 cents to about AZ
cents per pound.
Dried fruits are especially useful
when the supply of fresh fruits is
limited or where storage space for
fresh fruits is lacking. Besides being
used alone, they may be mixed into
cakes, buildings, confectionery, and
other dishes. They afford a nutri-
tious and economical way of securing
a variety of diet, which is often over
looked by the housewife.

JOHN STUBBLEFIELD AN
NOUNCES FOR MARSHAL

In our regular announcement col
umn today will appear the name of
John Stubblefeld who is asking the
support of the voters of Prescott for
City Marshal, subject to the City
Democratic primary March 10th.
This is an unusually hard office to
fill and requires a man who will de-
vote his entire attention and endure
the hard feelings of many of our citi-
zens. 1t also requires a man of CON
siderably courage. Mr.. Stubblefeld
is now filling the uneXpired term of
R. B. Hamilton. He has given emf
nent satisfaction since assuming the
duties of the office. Some time ago
he served as night Waterman for
Prescott and made a good guardian
for the belongings of our people.
He is asking you to vote for him in
the coming primary for this office and
we believe he will continue to faith
fully discharge his duties. Do not
forget him when you go to vote.

WHAT ARE YOUR TAXES

Il ;s estimated by statisticians that
+he average American earns the sum
sekt7 ner annum and that more than
,o,f Of the families has some other
.,or,ber or members helping to make
.ha living which brings the average in
th;s case up to $S47. This average
on owns no real estate and probably
aocording to his own statement and
Lorof navs small amount of taxes
ornually. What he really means is
thot he pays only a few dollars of di-
noot taxes. But the direct taxes are
onlv a part of the tax that he pays
toward the support of the government
and only small part at that. The
Indirect tax on commodities,-on the
necessities of the average consumer,
the tariffs, the duties, the license
these make up the taxes. We are
having it every day and this same
average man is paying $40 per year
which is nearly a fourth of his income.
OF course we get great deal for this
/ in one form and another, but we are
not getting what we should. The tax
| is too much. Indirect taxation is
merely an inheritance from the days
of autocratic rule when the ruling
class wanted to disguise taxes so that
l 1.-THE people generally would not know
what they were paying. There is no
reason why an intelligent people
| should always try to deceive them
selves. There is no use to stick our
heads deliberately in the sands while
our tail feathers vie with the passing
storm. The better we are made ac-
ouainted with our needs and our in
come the more honest we are with
ourselves and the more we know
about ourselves and our governmental
affairs the more economical will be
servants of the people, and if the
country generally needs one material
thing more than another, it is true
economy.

NOTICE

Complaint is being made that Ger
tain merchants are not complying with
the State Law with reference to sell
ing goods on Sunday. Under the law
lunch-rooms, restaurants and drug
stores are permitted to sell necessities
on the Sabbath. All other stores are
prohibited from keeping open on that
day
Notice is therefore hereby given
that in the future all violations Of
the Sunday laws of the state will be
punished by a fine of not less than
$500 nor more than $4,000 for each
offense. The city Marshal is hereby
instructed to see that no loafing is
permitted in stores that are allowed
to remain open on the Sabbath. Now,
this cannot be successfully done I'M
less parents will take it upon them
selves to assist the officer by requir-
ing their children to keep away from
these houses on the Sabbath. We have
only one Marshal and have popula-
ton of over 5000.
