MAPLE RIVER DRAIN.

County Drain Commissioner Lay
cock attended a meeting TO the drain
commissioners of lonia, Gratiot, Gin
ton, Shiawassee and Montcalm coun-
ties held at Muir last Wednesday for
the purpose of determining the neces-
sity of the Maple River Drain which
has been petitioned for by a large
number of taxpayers. From Muir the
commissioners went over the route
of the drain in automobiles as far as
possible. The proposed drain is over
twenty-five miles in length and is the
largest drain job ever contemplated in
this state. 1t will benefit property
owners in all the five counties named.
The commissioners decided to hold a
public meeting at Maple Rapids on
January 5, at which time all parties
interested in the drain will be heard
and the necessity of the drain de-
termined.
A petition was filed on July 26, 1915,
by 154 freeholders in the townships of
Washington, Elba and Fulton, in Ora
tiot county, Essex Greenbush, Bengal,
Dallas, Lebanon and the City of st.
Johns, in the County Clinton,
North Plains and Lyons in the county
of Iona, to dredge and otherwise
improve Maple River from the point
in the river that is crossed by the
Grand Trunk railroad at Muir, up
stream to where it is crossed by the
Ann Arbor at Bannister.

DO YOU FEEL HEADACHE?
LOOK TO YOUR STOMACH

IL is an unusual thing for druggist
to sell medicine under a guarantee
to refund the money if it does not
cure. Yet this is the way Chas.
Rhodes, the popular druggist, is sell
ing Mi-o-na, the standard dyspepsia
remedy.
Never before has he had so large a
number of customers tell him that a
medicine has been successful as with
Mi-o-na. People who a. few months
ago looked like walking skeletons
have put on flesh and today are rudy
and vigorous with perfect digestion
and good health.
There is no longer any need for any
one suffering or making their friends
suffer on account of dyspepsia. Mi
o-na can always be relied upon. The
percentage Of cures is so great that
there is little risk to Chas Rhodes in
guaranteeing TO return the money if
the medicine does not relieve. And
he stands ready to do so without any
questions.
Headaches, all forms of indigestion,
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings.
and all forms OF, liver trouble are help
ed by Mi-o-na. A few days treat
ment should show considerable gain
in health while complete cure often
follows rapidly.-Adv.

have the worst sort of attacks Of in
digestion which would come on me un-
expectedly. Many nights | got very

headaches. lost my appetite and be-
came very rundown and debilitated.

tensively and decided to give it trial.
Since using it a short timeI can say

YALE'S FOOTBALL
 TEAM DISAPPOINTS
Coach Hinkey and College Body Worry Over Seasons Prospects

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 4.-New Haven is one of the saddest places in the college world today as a result of Yales defeat Saturday by the Uni versity of Virginia Undergraduates are wondering whether the fumbling, which was so prominent a part of the game will make its appearance when Yale meets Harvard in Cambridge, November 20. The fumbling Sat urday reminded many of the be- havior of the Yale backfield in the 1912 game with Harvard.
 Several changes in the makeup of the Yale backfleld and at least one change in the line are forecast. Guernsey probably will be replaced by Scovil and Thompson will be sent to the scrubs, for a time at least. Lowry taking his place and alternat- ing with Bentley. Roberts the only man to be substituted Saturday, may lose his place to Kent or Won Holt. Kositzky also Is a bidder for the guard position. .
 Pie Way, the big center, Is prac- tically sure of his place now. Way was down the field with the ends on every punt and his playing was more like that of Henry Ketcham than anything that has been seen on Yale field since Ketcham was graduated.

GREAT SPEED SHOWN
 IN FRENCH CHARGE
Which Marked Critical Point in
 New Offensive Movement

Paris Oct. 4.-From the accounts given by wounded soldiers and others who have returned from the front the story of the French charge which marked the critical point in the new offensive movement is being gradual ly pieced together. One point on which there is general agreement is the great speed with the movement was executed.
 A colonial infantrymen who was wounded in the fighting between Sou ain and Suppes, in the Champagne. says: Our captain said to us, at the moment for the charge: You'll have to run hard, for we are in the first wave of mem And we did run. When We came to the first trench we leap ed over 1t with stab at the occu- pants. You could hear nothing but the hoarse breathing of your neigh bors and the roar of the guns. Bull lets whistled about everybody's ears from one side. evidently from ma chine guns.
 Saved by Captain.
 Our captain shouted: Stop at that redoubt.' We were just in time. Three machine guns were pumping way at

us and several others were being brought out of tunnel. We bay oneted them back and front.
 You've got to be quick in a charge like that. A second lost means death. It is speed alone that counts
 Lieutenant C. of the Colonial In- fantry, who was wounded in the Ar tois district, protested to stories that Germans surrendered without resist ing.
 Throw Up Hands.
 Tt is only the last moment, when they realized that their fire cannot stop us, that they ground their arms and threw up their hands" the lieu tenant said. Even then most of them don't give in, but fight on with trench knives and revolvers.
 Tt was in one of these encounters that l was wounded. l was fighting with two Germans. I killed one of them who had sliced off my arm with his knife. A sergeant behind me kill ed the other.

 Several weaknesses that cropped out in the Indian game Saturday will have to be remembered and the team must improve generally if any kind of a showing is to be made against Yale.
 The quarterback position, according to one of the coaches. needs bolster ing up. Lehigh is we'll pleased with the playing of several of the new men who got into yesterdays con- test, notably that of Heuer, who ran the ball we'll, punted nicely and once interrupted a forward pass.

The crowd will be seated in the Stadium and a temporary stand for the speakers will be arranged on the field.
 George W. Bacon of New York city, chairman of the alumni field committee, and Paul Schoellkopf, '06, will make addresses. The latter will present the field in behalf of the Schoellkopf family, members of which gave the funds as a memorial to Hen ry Schoellkopf, Cornell, 1902, once a famous Cornell football player. Presi dent Schurman will accept the field in behalf of the university.
 Cornell came out of the Oberlin game in good shape. The coaches on the whole are fairly we'll satisfied with the progress made in the last week. There was more snap and ginger in the playing, but the team is still slow and there are many crude spots to be ironed out. Cornell teams at this time ususuaily are crude, and this one is no exception.
