1T HURTS HOTEL TRADE
War Has Cut Down Fat Tourist Bust
ness in Switzerland.

Geneva, Switzerland. Nov. co
swiss railroad companies and hotel
keepers are feeling severely the pro-
longation of the war.
The tourist business has so dwin-
died that hotel keepers estimate their
losses at 800. 900. 900, while secondary
railways Including the funiculars1
reckon theirs at about One-fourth Of
this sum, due to the loss of both
passengers and freight traffic
The Swiss government is helping, as
far as possible, to alleviate the dis
tress, but it has itself a great burden
TO support. and its state lines suffer
from the diminution in transit traf-

Milford is
Appointed
Deputy Game and Forestry
Warden with Educational Dept.

Ex-School Com'r j. H. Milford has
been appointed Deputy Game Warden
and Forestry Warden by State Game
Warden Oats. The appointment came
through the efforts of Hon. II. /. Nc
MILAN, our state representative. Mr..
Milford has already entered upon his
new duties which open larger field
for his unquestioned ability---an and
carries with it a goodly salary.
In September Mr.. Milford will take
up the educational phase of the con-
servation work, giving schools of in
struction. His work will be of a con-
structive nature, teaching fire preven-
ton rather than fire fighting, and the
reasonableness and necessity of our
game laws. No man is more entitled
to the appointment and more fitted for
the work. He is naturally a con-
structive builder and his association
with the schools will add to his value to
This department
Mr.. Milford has had several fine OPP
portunities of entering the business
field of late, but it meant the removal
of himself and family from East Jor-
dan, which was much against their de-
sires. Our citizens will be glad to learn
that they will continue to make their
home with us.

J. w. Empey
Passes Away
Dependency Over Illness Causes
Him to Commit Suicide,
Sunday Morning.

- The people OF our city were grevious
Wy shocked Sunday morning when i
was learned that our esteemed fellow
.townsman, Joseph Empey, had com
mitted suicide that morning at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Franz
Brotherton.
Mr. Empey had been in failing health
for some time. Previous to this illness
he had always led an active life, and
realizing that his days OF activity were
over, caused him to become despond-
ent. His many friends, understanding
the condition of Mr.. Empey's mind,
took every precaution to prevent his
committing any rash act. Sunday morn
ing, while the household was prepar'
ing breakfast, Mr. Empey, in some
manner, found an empty revolver
which had been hidden away from him
loaded it, and, stepping before mirror
sent bullet through his brain. He
died almost instantly.
Deceased was born at Jamestown,
Ont, Jan. 2, 1912 Subsequently he
lived at Copenhagen and Watertown,
N. Y, at the latter place embarking in
the furniture business. Later on, with
his brother, w. F. Empey they spent
several years in the Canadian north
west.
They returned to East Jordan in the
fall of 1904, and the following spring
built the Empey Block. Since then the
two brothers have been actively iden-
titled with East Jordans business in
terests, conducting one of the largest
furniture establishments in this part OF
the state.
Deceased leaves one daughter, Mrs.
Frank Brotherton, and four brothers,
w. F. of this city, Ephriam, Nelson
and Charles of Banks township, Antrim
County.
Funeral services were held at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank
Brotherton, Tuesday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Fred Smith, Christian Science
of Charlevoix. The remains were
taken Wednesday morning to Copen-
hagen, N. Y, for interment Mrs.
Brotherton and daughter, Gwendolin
Boyd, and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Boyd

its record of Sunday disasters and its

Accidents have not of course been
entirely eliminated from the weekly
chapter of motoring. 1t is significant
though that the burden OF accidents
falls upon those who take 10 the
country roads on motorcycles and tan
dems such as the development Of
mOtOrcycling has recently introduced.
The deduction is then that without
the fullest measure of precaution and
intelligent driving the danger to
motorcyclists is proportionately great
er than TO drivers and occupants of
larger and heavier vehicles This
should in the order of things impose
a greater obligation upon these riders
to observe all the rules Of the road
and observe them 10 the letter.
Most Of the accidents occur at points
where roads inteTsect or where cOun-
try roads are narrOwest. The reasons
are obvious. Cross roads are an
preached carelessly and attempts are
made TO pass other vehicles when the
road offers not sufficient space. Either
that or the warning signal is not
sounded which is frequently the case.

riders of motorcycles suggests to the

THE FARMER AND THE BANK.
Ogden Examiner.)

OS0en examiner
The significance of the farm mort
gage, it appears is just now disclosing
itself TO bankers, says the indianapolis
News. The head of large bank in
the east, who has been making an in
vestigation. has found that farmers are
not, as he supposed, borrowing money
because farming is not profita ole. They
are borrowing, on the contrary, be
cause farming is profitable Now and
then, of course, crop failure, due to
one cause or another, sent the farmer
to capital for a loan, but, in most in
stances. the banker learned, farmers
borrow in order to extend their oper-
atoms. increase their acreage, take in
more land under their control and
management
He had believed-with a good many
others-that farmers sought loans only
when driven 10 II 10y the pinch of ne
cessity, and that they were, as a rule,
mortgaging the future TO make up for
the loss of the past. Now he sees
things in a different light. He could
have had this view of farming and
farm loans long before, perhaps, if
the rmer was not poor at eXplana-
ton, and not very definite with figures.
The banker, on the other hand, has
not been inclined TO acquaint himself
sufficiently with the farmers business.
Neither has understood the other.
The fault lies mainly with the bank
er. however He has been slow TO real
ize that farm conditions have changed.
A quarter of a century ago. ii was
probably true that a majority of farm
loans were negotiated because crop e%-
pectatiOns were not realized and the
farmer needed capital to finance the
crop of the future. And that was
risky security for the banker. But this
is no longer the rule. Advanced meth
DDS. increased knowledge of soil and
crop requirements rotation. seed, Sc
lection. improved tillage. modern ma
chinery, bigger returns and higher
prices for the produce-all these have
combined TO give a new aspect TO
! farming. Ii is less a speculation now
and more Of a business than il used 10
be.
And as such it is beginning TO be
accepted even in the most conserva-
I tive quarters. Capital is far more
/ friendly toward il today than it was
/ ], or even five years ago. 1t under
stands it better. 1t will profit, more
/ over. if it continues 10 improve its
I knowledge of farming and farm
/ finance. 1t needs TO know what
/ farmers are doing. The eastern bank
er has set a good example.
