Thanks, Griff
Boyne City Publisher Gives The
Herald a Bouquet.

Under suitable caption the Boyne
Citizen, Will II. Griffin Editor, has the
following nice things to say about The
Herald man, which is thoroughly ap-
preciated.
'1f there is a publisher in the entire
county who deserves the best wishes
of the people, if hard work and stick-to
it means single thing, it is Mr.. Lisk of
East Jordan. He has shown that he is
made of the kind of stuff that will
eventually spell success, if in his case,
it has not completed the word long ago.
Mr.. Lisk, with more ambition than the
average printer, has been printing The
County Herald on Washington hand
press for several years. This may not
mean thing to the average personbut
to the man who knows what a Wash
ington hand press is it means work OF
the most strenuous sort. We dare say
Mr.. Lisk has developed sufficient arm
muscle to enable him to click" the
biggest and toughest of his delinquent
subscribers in less than three seconds.
"The new press IN question is exactly
like the two-revolution Stonemetz press
in this office. A high speed machine,
built for the finest kind of work, and
he has it equipped with modern Kim
ball motor 1T WILL PRINT ANY
THING THAT THERE WILL EVER BE
CALL FOR IN THIS PART OF THE
COUNTRY. We congratulate you
brother Lisk. This will enable you to
enter a larger field. You have earned
it by good hard work, and it should be
appreciated by your community"

Household Hints.

A large sponge placed in the bottom
of the umbrella jar absorbs the water
and protects the jar.
To renew the lustre on leather furni-
ture apply the white of an egg with
sponge, allow to stand a minute, then
polish with soft cloth.
To remove stains from knife handles
and also to keep the ivory from turning
yellow, rub the handles well with a cut
lemon; afterward wash we'll in soap
and water and dry Immediately. This
removes the stains and keeps the ivory
a good color.
Here is Southern housewives
method of cleaning brass. She mixes
fine wood ashes with lemon Juice to
make paste just thin enough to handle
on a soft flannel cloth. With this paste
she rubs the stained brass until it
shines clean and untarnished.

AS these columns are being closed,
"Wednesday night Charlevoix citizens,
outside of any society affiliation, are
surrounding the banquet board at the
Masonic Temple in honor of Mr.. Payton
There is program of speeches all of
which will be Interestingly personal in
their nature.
Occasions have been rare when the
departure of citizen has called forth
such spontaneous testimonials of re-
gard as these events in honor of ID. S.
Payton. Northern Michigan knoMs
him as a conspicuous and efficient fact
or in development work; CharlevoiX
county knows him as one of the ablest
and most trustworthy officials in the
roster of forty five years of the county's
existence; Charlevoix city knows him
as model citizen and good neighbor
Notwithstanding his heroic and valu-
able work as director in the West
Michigan Development Bureau, his
watchfulness of his county's interests
there and the laborious and exacting
character of his official court house
work, Mr.. Payton has always found
time to cheerfully cooperate with citi-
zens of CharlevoiX in local enterprises
and social functions, in which he has
always been seconded by his wife and
daughter. These testimonials of re-
gard are richly deserved. While Char
levoix sincerely regrets losing Mr..
Payton and his family, there is gratifi-
cation in the fact that Charlevoix coun-
ty still retains them. Charlevoix SEN

better off without, men who stand ON

about women, the man who laughs

anything, scores Of men with the -,

as glass, men who can tell you just how
the foreign war question ought to be
settled, foretell the weather and how to

have probably made dismal failures of
their own.-Ex

CURRENT EVENTS
State Advocates Present Day
Geography and History

Supt. Fred l.. Keeler sends the fol-
lowing message to the boys and girls
of Michigan: Boys and girls, do you
know that the big war that is going on
in Europe offers you splendid educa-
tional opportunity? AS you read the
papers and magazines carefully you
should have good map of Europe
yes, and one of the world, before you.
You may learn much about geography
by looking up every place mentioned
and finding all that you can about it.
You should try to study out the geog-
raphical, racial, historical and political
causes of the only general European
war since Napoleon Bonaparte raised
such rumpus. You will want to read
all you can of the history of Europe.
You will want to know about the Slavic,
Teutonic, Latin and Anglo-Saxon races.
You will want to know about the people
and institutions of each nation and its
strength on land and sea. Now will be
a good time to find out about the trade
route to India, Alsace and Lorraine,
neutrality, reservists, contraband of
war, the rules governing the capture of
ships at sea, blocsde, and other rules of
warfare, and about many other subjects
that are mentioned in the papers. You
should be brought to see how closely
all parts of the world are now related
and how the war affects the United
States and how its influence extends
even to your town or city. And you
cannot fail to realize what an awful
thing is war and how wasteful and
foolish is such horrible conflict.

The almanac is little book of jokes
and weather representations. The
best thing about them is that we do not
have to read the jokes or believe in the
weather indicated by them. Every
home used to have half dozen alman-
acs hung up by the kitchen stove, but
now that he can buy our favorite maga-
zine with a set of book cases thrown in
for three dollars, the almanac is losing
favor. Whenever people quit planting
gardens and trimming their corns ac-
cording to almanacs well have a more
successful world to wonder around in.

"KNOCKERS" MAKE
"RIVER OF DOUBT
SEEM LOCAL STREAM
BY, OBSERVER. :"

The other day | saw map showing
Colonel Roosevelt's "River of Doubt. F"
Ii was considerable relief to me to
learn that it is definitely located in
South America, for until saw it on the
map was inclined to think it ran right
through the middle of this town-as
well as through a number of other
places not far away that could men,
ton, OF course don't say that every
body here is in the habit of taking daily
dips in it, but most of us are inclined
to yield to the temptation now and then
This town, like every other place,
has few fellows that are always 'agin'
every Improvement that is proposed,
no matter how beneficial it is. They
are sure to say at can't be done"
They are suspicious of anybody that
really wants to do anything for the
public good, and if they can't find any
other objection, they spread the report
that somebody is getting something
out of it. They have no faith in any
body or anything and are very proud
of it. That seems to be what makes life
worth living for them. If one of these
fellows should wake up some morning
accidentally believing in something, he
would sink back onto his pillow in
fright and send for doctor. And spch
an unusual experience might really
make him sick. Probably nobody would
weep if it did.
What we need here, no matter how
much of it we already have, is more
confidence in ourselves and our op-
portunities-more 'punch, to put it
in slang. The croakers don't do us any
good. You might think that in time
they would get tired of bracing them
selves and their mulish toes, pulling on
the coattails of progress and being
dragged forward in spite of themselves,
but they don't seem to. No matter how
far ahead you move them, they want to
stick right there, in spite of the fact
that they fought with all their might
against being put there at ALL The
very people that made the town what
MS they call dreamers and do every
thing in their power to hamper them.
Their favorite prophecy is, impossible
and their principal occupation is MAX
ing their prediction come true. They
seem to have wallowed around in the
Rivers of Doubt until they are soaked
full of it. If they could drown in it,
might think the stream of some real
use.
The live citizen has to pull his own
share of the load and those of the
doubters besides. But of course they
don't allow him any credit for if. No,
they blame him for trying to do any
thing-whether he succeeds or fails,
no matter how much benefit they get
out of his efforts themselves. When
they think any good thing has been
killed they are happy especially if they
had hand in the supposed killing, as
they usually have. They never get
wise that good thing can't be killed.
We have some bad cases of this kind
here. The only thing to be done about
it, that can think of, is for the rest of
us to be as little like them as possible.
Most of us might be little more hope
full and public spirited than we are. Let
the doubters splash arouud in their
muddy old river and be happy.
