MODERN FABLES
The Fable OF The MiSer And
His NepheW.

Once upon time in a bustling semi
metropolis there lived an old geezer
whose ability to see money at long
range was heralded for miles around.
Once he had caught sight of dollar he
never rested until he had annexed it
unto himself, and when thus annexed
it were as easy to separate the two as
it would have been to dig the Panama
canal with a barn shovel. This old
geezer nearly always walked on the
soes of his shoes to keep the heels
from running over, and he wore cellu-
loid collars to save laundry bills. He
also wore all the whiskers he could
grow to stave off barber bills and to
make neckties unnecessary.
One day, however, while he was on
his way to foreclose mortgage on the
home of blind woman with six small
children, he was taken i'll. They haul
ed him into hospital because he was
too i'll to protest, and after carefully
diagnosing the case the physicians said
that by keeping him perfectly quiet he
might live a week. But they were
mistaken. One of the nurses had told
him what it was costing to stay in the
hospital and he died to save further ex-
penses. That night his debtors held
jubilee convention and his money
was bepueathed to a nephew whom the
old geezer had never seen.
Two months later, when the estate
was settled, the nephew exchanged a
big chunk of the old geezer's kale for a
limousine and he and a certain chorus
girl would ride out to the cemetery, eat
peanuts while sitting upon the old
mans grave and mediate upon how
wearisome life is.
MORAL-A miser is fine thing to
have for an uncle.

Memorial Day
Monday, 31st
East Jordan Will Observe the
Event in Fitting Manner.

Memorial Day, 1915, comes on Sun
day and preparations are being made
to properly observe this yearly event
on the following day, Monday, May 81.
Last year Company X had charge of
the day and put on an excellent pro-
gram In fact it drew out one of the
largest crowds that ever gathered in
our city on this occasion.
Company X again have charge of the
arrangements this year and will en-
deavor to out-do themselves over their
previous efforts. East Jordans Military
Band is well organized and will be pre-
pared to furnish some high-grade
music for the event.
AS yet, the speaker for the occasion
has not been engaged, but the officers
of Company X are corresponding with
some able talent and will be able to an
nounce the speaker in few days. Our
Public Schools will take part in the pro-
gram and are arranging several num-
bers.

EBERT BEDE SAYS:

woman hates where man ignores.
Most OF us have taken post gradu-
ate course in giving advice.
Anyone with any kind of fad makes
himself more or less of nuisance.
Apparently some men marry in order
to get woman to work for them with
out salary.
One nice thing about all these reform
movements is that we emerge from
them all without any great injury.
Balancing the scales of justice too
nicely quite often results in short
weighing some parties to the action.
Most folks use the overland stroke
to give dollar and the underhand one
to retrieve two in place of the one.
At first it seems quite a treat to a
man to hand his wife money but the
novelty is not long in wearing off.
During good times man squanders
his money and then during hard times
blames society for the inequalities of
life.
Some folks have such unreasonable
imaginations that they would think they
were flying if they were falling from
church steeple.
1t is said that if girl has cold feet
she has warm heart and vice versa.
We know girls who must be troubled
with perspiring feet.
The groom may not be very conspicu-
Gus at the wedding but he at least has
the satisfaction of knowing that with
out him there could be no bride.
Engagements are becoming more ex-
pensive since automobiles became so
popular and there amt near the same
chance to get your moneys worth.
When man has bill to meet and
goes to someone to whom he has loan
ed money, he not only can't borrow any
there but can't get back what he loan
ed.
When you are about to compliment
yourself for exhibiting firmness at the
proper moment, doesn't it make you
mad to have some one accuse you of
being wilfully obstinate?
Adam went to sleep one night some
thousands of years B. c. During the
night one of his ribs was removed. In
the morning he awoke, looked about
him and exclaimed: "Hello, September
Morn? How are you, old girl?

SUSPICIOUS FIRES
in THE STATE

Following an extended investigation
by Asst. State Fire Marshal Robinson,
assisted by Detective Kline, of the
Burns Agency and the local authori
ties, including Prosecutor Mccormick,
Sheriff Fitzgerald and Fire Chief
Champion, two arrests for arson were
made the past week at Bay City and
other arrests are expected to follow
Edward Hanson, SIT Polk ST., is charg
ed with having fired the property at
this, location with intent to defraud the
Security Insurance Co. of New Haven.
The fire occurred early in the morning
of Feb 9th and was discovered in four
different rooms, a large quantity of
kerosene and other inflammable mater
ial being used. The policy, $780, was
written in Mrs. Hanson's name. The
other party under arrest, John Rabior,
is charged with having fired the cottage
of Mrs. Chas. A. Kelly, at Aplin Beach,
a short distance from Bay City, on the
night of Feb. 25th This cottage and
two others, one owned by Chas. A. Kel-
ley and the other by James Cooper,
were totally destroyed. The complaint
in the latter case is signed by Kelley,
who claims that the property was fired
for revenge. Rabior, who is saloon
keeper at the beach, and Kelley have
had considerable trouble in the past.
During the past several months Bay
City has had numerous fires of SUSPECT
Gus origin and Fire Chief Champion
has investigated several but the Han
son fire is the first one where actual
proof that the property was fired has
been obtained. Bay City is beginning
to get the reputation of 'Firebug'
town and the past week representa-
tives of several large insurance COM
panies have been there inspecting their
risks. Several companies have with
drawn or reinsured their business in
this field and it is claimed that without
conditions improve forthwith policies
will be cancelled right and left by all
companies.
In February Bay City had thirty-eight
fires while in March the number ex-
ceeded sixty Bay City has one of the
best fire departments in the state and
Chief Champion is on the job every
minute which in no small measure ac-
counts for the small loss ratio as COM
pared with the many fires. Of the
ninety-eight fires in February and
March about twenty are said to have
been of unknown or suspicious origin.

Along Came Ruth

"ls Elsie sick?" asked Ruth, as she
made her usual morning visit
"She isn't very WE'LL" replied her
mother" and | am trying to find an egg
to cook for her. but some of these have
been cooked and don't seem to be able
to tell the fresh ones from the cooked
ones"
"Oh, that's easy, let me show you"
volunteered Ruth, spinning them on
the kitchen table, ''you see the fresh
ones spin like everything, while the
cooked ones hardly move around once.
Here is perfectly fresh one, it spins
more than all the others. Now in boil
ing an egg for sick person, just put it
in quart of water in a covered vessel,
away from the fire for eight minutes.
Don't put it right over the fire in the
usual way, for it won't be half so
delicate to the taste, nor will it digest
so easily"
"Oh Ruth, you're such help" de-
clared her aunt, "and now 90 upstairs
and see Elsie"
And Ruth passed up the staircase on
another errand of cheer.

FASHIONS OF YESTERDAY

Tell me, pray, in what garret's gloom,
Linger the styles of by-gone day?
Wedding garments of bride and groom,
Have they perished and passed away?
Why not keep them, though now
past?
Who can tell when they'll reappear?
The old is returning the modistes say
Where are the fashions of yesteryear?
Gone is the skirt of ample room,
Worn when the crinoline held sway;
Gone is the dolman, gone the plume
Worn on the bonnet OF silk moire;
Gone is the silken pannier-gay,
Gone is the hustle big and queer
Gone is the petticoat array
Where are the fashions of yesteryear?
Chighons and "new mown hay" per-
fume
Hair nets and curls in chaste display,
Black lace mits and "Maiden's Bloom, p"
Incot weaves and matlasse,
Eton Jackets with braid inlay,
Basques with points at front and rear,
Smelling salts with which to play
Where are the fashions of yesteryear?
La Envoi
Mineret gowns are now aufait,
But they'll grow old, you need not fear,
There is no model that will stay
Where are the fashions of yesteryear?

Wise And Otherwise

Warmed over love reminds us OF
hash.
Many girl skaters her ideals by
marrying him.
There is no such thing as position
in dairy.
As a rule mans rich kin are afflict-
ed with longevity.
Prosperity never spoils man whom
adversely cannot crush.
Only non-salaried office is compell-
ed to seek the man.
You never can tell. Many soldier
gets to the front without being promot-
ed to shoulder straps.
Honor thy father and thy mother,
young man, but when they pick out a
wife for you it's your cue to kick.

Household Helps

To remove oil spots from fabrics that
have been damaged in this manner at
the sewing machine, brush the fabric
with talcum powder. Put it on both
sides, let it stand for awhile, then brush
it off and apply il again. After two or
three applications the spot will dis
sapear. The powder should be used on
the fresh oil, it is not so effective on an
old spot.
SUGAR SAUCE FOR PUDDING
One cupful of granulated sugar, half
a cupful of water, a piece of butter the
size of walnut. Boil all together un-
til it becomes the consistency of syrup.
Flavor with lemon or vanilla extract
A tablespoonful of lemon juice is an
Improvement.

Will the
Eagle Scream
Or in Other Words Will East
Jordan Celebrate the Fourth?

1t has been a number of years since
East Jordan put on its gay togs and
celebrated our Nations birthday ami
versary in befitting manner. In fact
the last time we celebrated was when
Charlevoix County was "wet, and part
of the celebration by many was a
"souse"
Now that the "Safe and Sane Fourth"
holds sway in our land, it is but be-
fitting that we should get together and
plan to observe our Nations birth.
East Jordan now has an excellent
military organization and a good band.
We understand Company X" is will
ing to shoulder all the preparatory de-
tails and do all the work necessary.
They want the business men of our city
to finance the project-and its square
deal proposition. In fact there's lot
of work connected with such program
and if the members of Company are
willing to give valuable time to arrang-
ing the details, our business men
should get together and raise purse
for the event.
Just what celebration will cost is
problematic, and none of US are over
burdened with cash on hand. However
with the Military and Band organiza-
tions at our command, there is every
reason to believe we can put on bang
up celebration that we can all afford.
The Herald fellow will gladly come
across with his "widow's mite" and we
believe every merchant, business man
and lab borer of our city will be willing
to subscribe to the proposition.
Shall We Celebrate?

Action OF Single Spoonful
Surprises Many.

East Jordan people who bought the
simple mixture of buckthorn bark, gly-
cerine, ETC., known as Adler-i-ka, are
surprised at the INSTANT effect of
SINGLE SPOONFUL. This remedy is
so complete bowel cleanser that 1t is
used successfully in appendicitis. Ad-
ler-i-ka acts on BOTH upper and lower
bowel and ONE SPOONFUL relieves
almost ANY CASE of constipation, sour
or gassy stomach. ONE MINUTE after
you take it the gasses rumble and pass
out. JAMES GIDLEY, Druggist.
