CharlevoiX has been considerably
s2ssed-up this week over the fact that
SSo of the five prisoners who broke
Jail at Traverse City the 18th, had taken
to Charlevoix for refuge from the hand
of the law. After giving Sheriff Charles
Novak and his deputies the slip early
Tuesday morning search has been
steadily going on for the men and on
Thursday afternoon they were located
in the Michigan hotel formerly the

themselves in the basement They at
tempted another getaway but this
time the officers were wary of their
game and corraled them in a nearby
barn yard.
The supervisors of Grand Traverse
offered a reward of $500 for the ap-
prehension of Powers. 1t is claimed
that he is a well-known criminal want
ed in several cities of the country for
crimes committed. He was one of the
main witnesses in the Germaine case
at Traverse City.

entertainment prepared by Manager

worked out system whereby the

ALONG THE FIRING LINE

When Senator Chamberlain, of
Oregon, goes out on the stump next fall
to defend Democratic free trade policies
he is likely to be confronted with a
statement made by him In the Senate
| on March 18th while discussing the
army reorganization bill. Senator
Chamberlain admitted that the Ameri-
can army costs more per man than any
other army in the civilized world, and
said:
THE American soldier, like the
American laborer, demands to be better
! fed, better clothed, and better taken
care of. Place our army on the basis of
some other army and you would not
have corporal's guard in the United
States"
Like the American laborer," is the
| expression that gives away the whole
Democratic free trade argument. When
| it is admitted that the American laborer
| demands to be better fed, better clothed
and better taken care of than the
laborer of any other civilized country.
it must also be admitted that the diff
ference must be covered and guaran-
teed by protective tariff or the foreign
| laborer will seize the American market
and, relatively speaking, there won't
| be a corporal's guard left in American
mills. Senator Chamberlain talks like
an advocate of protection of American
| labor but he voted for the Underwood
tariff bill, which refused the demand of
| the American laborer to be better fed,
better clothed, and better taken care
Of" Will Democratic newspapers in
Oregon give their candid opinion of the
| merits of the demand of American
soldiers and American laborers?
Another election and another Demo-
crat giving way to Republican sue
cessor This time it is in Kansas City,
Missouri, where mayor was chosen.
The Republican tendency of 1916 is by
this time well established. The Kansas
City election is OF particular importance
for it demonstrates the solid foundation
on which Republicans are basing their
claim to put Missouri in the Republican
column this fall. The President may
attempt to stem the tide by appointing
a few more Missouri Democrats to fat
offices, but the fact remains that Mis-
souri,, like the country at large, has set
its face toward Republicansm this year.
Hartford, Connecticut, is also tired
of Democratic rule and at its recent
municipal election it supplanted a
Democratic city government with a
Republican. Object lessons OF this
kind are worth hundred straw votes
as proof of the political tendencies of
this presidential year.
The Ierminology of the White House
appears to have undergone a change,
also-- though neither so sudden nor so
numerous as the Presidents change OF
mind. We note that the word ''crisis"
now has given place to the word
"climax" in describing the state OF our
relations with Great Britain. We
anxiously await the new synonym for
great diplomatic victory"
It is interesting and significant to
note the number of spirited contests
which are going on for election to the
Republican National Committee. That
committee this year is going to conduct
victorious campaign and many men
are anxious to have share in the good
work,

State "Clean Up
Day, May 10
State Fire Marshal Urges Gen.
eral Cleanup on That Day.
TO THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN:

TO THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN:
Each spring we enjoy "CLEAN UP
DAY" in our State. A day which is
designated by the State Fire Marshal as
one which the people of Michigan shall
devote to the cleaning up of their pre-
misses.
Last year the people of our state en-
tered into the spirit of the. occasion
with fine zest. This spring May 10th
has been selected as clean up day by
the state fire marshal and he has every
reason to believe that citizens and Off
cials will extend the same cooperation
that they did a year ago.
Let's make this big day.
First, we will get busy with the win
ter accumulation of rubbish and collect
and destroy it.
You say "WHY?"
Because statistics show that one-third
of the deates of persons under 40 years
of age are caused by diseases contract
ed from filth.
Because pile of rubbish encourages
a conflagration.
Secondly, we will look around the
house, the barn and the store.
Perhaps we will find winters sup
ply OF old newspapers or magazines,
maybe we will discover that our wiring
needs attention, there is chance that
our method of storing gasoline or kero-
sene demands correction, probably we
will discover that our furnace or stove
pipes and chimneys need cleaning or
repairing to be made safe.
Then we will turn our attention to
the exterior of our buildings.
A bad roof or dilapidated building is
menace to all adjoining property.
The clean up day should be made a
repair or tear down day also. This will
be just the time to investigate our
school house or public halls. Are they
equipped with fire escapes, and are
they safe?
We can all help make clean up day
count for something.
Mr.. Public Official you can help by
calling attention to the day, by boosting
it and by giving it your official support.
School Teacher, you can help by ask
ing your pupils to participate in the fire
prevention spirit of the day.
Fire Chief, you can lead in the prep
arations for the day with your advice
and encouragement.
Housewife, you know how to clean
house and you can be of great value in
the campaign.
Every citizen and householder can
enlist both in the planning for the day
and the execution of the plans.
Every citizen who is interested in
beautifying our state, in the preserva-
ton of health and in the reduction of
the fire waste by fire prevention is re-
quested to set aside May 10 as a "Clean
up day" and to assist in making it a
success.

cialized.
1t is this change that makes it so
difficult for the beginner to climb.
Positions are all established. Stars
have made their name and people
have learned to love them. There
fore introducing new stars to the
public is not an easy task. 1t means
the expenditure of great sums of
money in advertising, which produc-
ing companies are 10th to do when
already they have acquainted the
picture play patrons with established
celebrities.
Once a little girl has entered the
movies she should never be permit
ted out of her mothers sight. Wher-
ever Zoe, goes, 1 go also. Many
mothers risk sending their children
unaccompanied to distant localities
rather than lose the opportunity af-
forded them. The remuneration this
opportunity brings is not only
money. 1t is experience and a chance
of advancement.
But in my opinion no return can
compensate for parental. neglect
which may result in moral or phys
zeal injury to the child. Many COM
panies are only too glad to accept
this negligence on the part of moth
eTs for taking them along frequent
ly means furnishing extra convey
ance, which, along with extra
lunches and the like, adds consider
ably to the expense.
Parents have been grossly mis-
informed regarding salaries paid in
the movies. There are gTown-ups
working in stock at Universal, which
is the largest motion picture produc-
ing plant in the world, for from $12
to SIS a week! And many of these
furnish most of their own wardrobe,
which is a tremendous item for a
woman. 1t is much cheaper for a

Very few other children get over $40
