This declaration was made by Grant
NJ. Hudson, Superintendent Of the
Michigan Anti-Saloon league. Through
a state political worker, Hudson says,
he learned interesting inside history
of the recent Grand Rapids campaign.
He says that he has reliable infor.

to wet interests in Grand Rapids and
the whole state. He is informed tnat

A Comparative Statement.

In every city and county local op-
ton or prohibition invariably result
in reducing the number Of arrests.
There Is also a definite and often
large reduction In the expense Of
conducting jails, courts, etc.
The actual relationship between the
license system and number of arrests
for drunkenness, misdemeanors or
crime cannot be determined absolu.
tely. Amy conclusions reached are
Influenced to a greater or less extent
by the local policy in making arrests.
Sometimes local officials, either pc.
licemen, judges or politicians. start
out to make a record for arrests
either under a wet or dry regime.
when is a man drunk enough to
be arrested? This question is an.
swered variously, but the answer IL
nine counties out OF ten in Michigan
proves that by far the license system
produces from two to five times as
many cases of public intoxication as
the nolicense system. In Michigan

other dry states the local Jail frequent
ly falls into entire disuse. In Mich.
gan wet counties, as in lngham county
during the last period OF saloons the
jail is often full Of "drunks" and in
some cases had to be enlarged.

evidence so far obtainable. Chas. w.

There Is waiter in Michigan who
is too busy to care what the phrase
means. He has waited efficiently and
therefore his wait for success in life
has been shortened. Being dumb, he
hasn't much to say about it, but here
is his story.
Walter Stanley Grohe has resided
In Kalkaska since his birth, 10 years
ago. He began his life with a handi-
cap. He was born dumb. That doesn't
seem to bother him, tho, for he smiles
it seems, always.
Six years ago Stanley's parents died
within three weeks of each other and
left their son, Is years Old. legacy of
thrift and tenacity. During the two
years following Stanley continued his
school work earning his board and
room by waiting on people at meal
time in a restaurant.
Then when he was fifteen years Odd
he stopped going to school and devo.-
ed his time and energy to the feeding
Of the hungry public.
After two years he was able to pu
chase the restaurant in which h.
worked. Now he owns four restau-
rants and hopes to become proprietor
of still longer chain of "eat shops"

So Now Little Hazel Long OF Denver
Is in Cheerful Mood

Denver, Colo-Five year old Hazel
Long had saved her nickels until she
had enough of them for a crisp 81
bill, which she concealed among some
old newspapers. Her grandmother,
with whom Hazel lives, picked up
these papers one day three weeks ago
and used them to kindle fire in the
kitchen stove. The girl saw it.
She burned her fingers in her eff

told the story to Rowland X. Goddard,
government secret service agent.
He has just received a brand new
bill from Washington with a letter
saying that the redemption division of
the treasury would make a special rul
ing in the case of this little sirl.

After Few Hours Work of
Artist of the Razor.

cleanup has occurred at the village
of Dakota, ten miles north of here.

closed up his shop and left for other
parts. Since then Dakota has been
without an artist of the razor and
scissors. Social functions began to be
given up. 1t was at least ten miles
to a shop in any direction and the
residents soon broke into the Charles
Evans Hughes club.
Then the Dakota Business Mems as
ISOLATION advertised for a barber. Free
rent and other inducements were Of
fered At last a much sought work
man appeared, opened a shop and be-
gan to do rushing business at once.

was, so to speak, a new face on the
town. The volunteer fremen's ball
has been set forward a week and sew
eral of the village youths are taking
the preliminary degrees to qualify as
