Resolution adopted unanimously
Board OF Supervisors OF Iron County.
Crystal Falls, Michigan
Gentlemen:
The County Board OF super
yisors OF this county is an organiza-
ton entirely public in its character
and with only the affairs of the public
to handle
We cannot think of an organization
which should be more impelled to
act fairly and honestly.
In a sense. banking corporations are
quasi-public institutions. To be sue
cessful such corporation must have
the interests of its customers in mind
at all times and the reverse rufel Is
true that 1t should be able to Acct
from its customers fair and impartial
treatment In business affairs.
At the meeting of the Board OF
Supervisors OF Iron County. repre-
sentatiyes OF the First National Bank
OF Iron River and the Iron County
National Bank of Crystal Falls were
present to obtain division OF the
county officers bond account. Super
visor Lyons proposed that the bust
ness be equally divided between the
East and West sides of Iron County.
This proposal seemed fair to the
representative of the First National
Bank of Iron River and he stood pre-
pared to accept that proposition in
detail. During his absence however,
the Board OF Supervisors granted all
of this account 10 the Iron County
National Bank OF Crystal Falls, the
votes of four members carrying the
motion
The undersigned respectfully re-
quest that Board OF supervisors TO
reconsider their action and to equally
divide the business referred TO and all
other County business of like kind
equally among the established lnsur-
ance agencies of Iron County and
that. in the future, such business be
so apportioned without solicitatioy-o-

NO CHURCH TALK IN SCHOOLS

Religion must not be discussed in
public schools by the teachers. This
new rule of the board of education
was unanimously adopted last night.
The Catholic members at first voiced
opposition to the new rule, but voted
for it's passage. The board voted to
defer action two weeks on the pro-
posed cut in the teachers pay. This
will give the teachers another chance
to put up a fight against the propo-
sition to make up the school fund
deficit by slashing their pay enve-.
lopes.

MORE POLICE NEEDED

MORE POLICE NEEDED.-Mayor
Thompson has been elected and in
augurated and since then two hor-
rible crimes have been committed
within the precincts of Chicago.
Isn't it about time that he fulfilled his
campaign promise and gave the citi-
Zens who voted him into Office better
police protection.
1t seems to me that all the police
in the city are downtown in care of
the traffic. 1 know that out in the
resident districts a policeman is a
very scarce article.
Yet instead of getting more police
l see that all the smartest men in the
department have been placed in plain
clothes and formed into flying squads
and sent into poolrooms and saloons
instead of being kept on their beats
where they are the most needed. It's
a fine state of affairs when four men
can hold up a bank, kill the banker,
then come out on the street and hold

act as monitor and guide and pre-
ceptor to Mr.. Barnes, plaintiff, in an
endeavor to make of him a useful
and good citizen. The latter seems
to have fallen foul of his expositor.
AS case of professional ingratitude,
though, the coIonel's~ thanklessness
went that of his protege one better by
his lightest intimation to the peO-
pie that he would run again.
But l can't get over how he does
love us common people. I've always
wondered why men in his position
should find such politically dense
beings as the average voter so attrac-
tive. He could easily retire with
money and glory to burn. He's OBJ
viously after neither. We are led to
conclude, therefore, that it's love Of
the most disinterested kind that
prompts his many uttearnces, love
that is grace to we lowly ones, love
that has made him decide to plug up
the hole in the ship of state if the
people will only tie a milk, or even a
sardine can to the irritating party
that's at the helm at present and, &C
cording to him, letting in the water.

ers while they make their getaway.
And all this with no policeman in
sight.
If Mayor Thompson promised easy
jobs to men in the police department
let us have others to take their places
and do their work. Let them travel
beats. 500 more uniformed police
men would look like 5000 to the
crooks if they were made to travel

BURST INTO TEARS
T0pekan Gave Woman $3.50 to
Divorce Her Husband.
Then She ~Flew" and Her AT.
finity's Heart Was Broken.

Since the time that Solomon, with
all his wisdom, failed to satisfactorily
explain, the question. the way of
man with a maid has been a subject Of
much discussion. However, county Of
ficials have arrived at the conclusion
that the way of a certain woman with
two Topeka men Is paving the way for
a situation that will prove equally as
unexplainable.
Here's the story:
A day or so ago a Topeka man wan
dered into the sheriffs office and told
county officials that his wife had dis
appeared and asked their cooperation
In finding her. Officials at once be-
gan working on the case and their eff
forts disclosed the fact that another
man of no relation whatever to the
woman might be able to clear up the
mystery.
Accompanied by the husband, the
officials started to the home Of Man
No. and when they arrived and men,
toned the wOman's name, Man No.
2 burst into tears.
where is she ?" he tearfully said in
answer to q question. Search me, /
don't know. I would give five hun
dred dollars If I did. gave her a
hundred and fifty dollars to get a d.
vorce from her husband and now ]
can't find her.
| Officials are still searching for the
missing woman

TEACH BUSINESS

Kansas Retailers Ask Legisla-
ture for State Expert.

The 800 Kansas retail merchants
who recently were in session at Law
renee are making the following de-
mands upon the Legislatures:
1. To hire specialist in advertising
and merchandising to conduct courses
in such subjects at the State univer-
sity.
- 2. TO hire a consulting specialist,
his business being to travel about the
state to teach merchants proper book
keeping methods, and show them how
to reduce the cost of doing business
without impairing the service.
3. To provide funds for increasing
the efficiency of the correspondence
courses in business subjects.
This is the first time that the mer-
chants Of Kansas have ever made a
request of this kind. They adopted
a memorial" to the legislature at
the meetings. which the Merchants
Journal has printed in full.
