Facts About Verdun

The greatest battle in the world S
history. The German armies under
the Crown Prince, are trying to take
the fortified French position at Verdun,
on the River Meuse. Thirty forts de-
fend this salient.
Battle begun February 81. Nearly
two months of incessant fighting. Total
German attacking force estimated al
100000. French say Germans lost l75,
600 killed and wounded in first week S
fighting. Germans employing giant
guns; French using deadly "curtain OF
fire." Germans firing nearly half mil
lion shots a day.
Verdun the greatest battle of world s
history. Result OF the war may hang
upon it. Verdun commands road to
Belgium and Paris; Paris 1876 miles
away. Verdun was birthplace of Ger
man and French nations when the En-
pire of Charlemagne was partitioned
in S43. First belonging to Germany
French territory since 1852. Original
Notifications built on site of Benedic-
tine monastery.
Verum stemmed the tide of the vic
torious German army in the first Aug
ust campaign. French reformed for
battle of the Marne behind the shelter
of the great fortress. Save for Verdun,
Won Kluck probably would have taken
Paris.

Avoid Infection

The following advice to house mothers
to do their share in protecting their fa-
miles from contagious diseases is par
ticularly applicable to typhoid cases, it
is also worth observing in case of in
lection of any kind
II is believed that the common house
fly frequently carries on its body from
filthy places the germs of typhoid fever
and deposits them on food in kitchens
and on dining tables. Those who nurse
the sick and are careless about disin-
fection frequently infect themselves by
soiling food or drink with their dirty
hands. The fingers should not be put
into the mouth, the sick should not be
kissed, and the utensils used in the sick
room, such as plates, spoons, etc,
should be reserved for the sick and
thoroughly scalded on removal from
the room. The time between infection
and the appearance of the disease is
usually from 8 to Ia days.

Do We Want a
Canning Factory?
PROPOSITION NOW IN
HANDS OF OUR CITIZENS
Will Mean Much Toward De-
velOping Our Farm Lands.

Never before in East Jordan's efforts
to secure a Canning Factory have
prospects seemed brighter than right
now. A gentleman well versed in
matters pertaining to such an industry
was in our city for several days the
past week, going over the farming re-
gion hereabouts thoroughly, and on
Monday night meeting with our Board
of Trade and citizens. This gentleman
knows the canning industry of Michi-
gan thoroughly and, after reviewing
the farming land hereabouts, stated
that East Jordan was without excep-
ton, the finest location for such an in
dustry in the state. That our city had
three acres of tributary productive land
to one acre where factories were al
ready well established
The matter is now in the hands of a
committee of citizens headed by r. o.
Bisbee of the Peoples Bank, and work
on raising the necessary capital stock
is progressing. Already a few have
subscribed for stock in same, and those
of our citizens and farmers who can so
afford should interview Mr.. Bisbee and
consider well the possibilities of such
an enterprise, and the great step it will
take toward developing our farm lands,
making a better market for produce
that now is almost wasted, and develop
ing our city as trading center.
And not alone will the above benefits
be derived, but such an industry will
furnish considerable labor, particular
ly for women and girls, for several
months each year
Do WE want Canning Factory? It's
now up to us as citizens to decide.

READ THE NEWS
AND KEEP POSTED

Every family in Charlevoix County
should be subscriber to their own
county paper, Yes, will go little
farther and say papers. Without a
paper, what can people in the eastern
townships know what is going on in
the western part along the lake shore,
also, what can the people along the
lake shore know about what is going
on in the eastern part OF The county
unless they do subscribe for their
county papers. | trust that there will
be enough people sufficiently interest
ed in what is going on in our county
for those in the eastern part to sub
scribe for the western papers and for
the west to subscribe for the east. For
our own welfare and the general good
of the county, there should be as init
mate relations existing between the
extreme portions ofth county as there
is between our nearest neighbors and
ourselves. venture to say that there
are people in the eastern portion OF our
county who are ignor ut of the fact
that there are tourists ..ere from almost
all the southern and western states, in
the western portion of the county.
These people come by way of the West
Michigan Pike and the Dixie Highway,
which is one and the same road from
Chicago to Mackinac; in fact, it is the
road over which nearly 95 per cent of
our tourists have to take or do take to
go into our county. 1t skirts along
Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan
and has as many beautiful spots for
building as the high hills surrounding
Pine Lake.
Great complaint used to be made
about the roads in our county, but they
are gradually growing better. Each
one of our road commissioners have
been doing good work, but it is a great
pity that so much of this work goes to
waste because of the fact that no dirt
or macadam road can be built strong
enough to withstand the wear and tear
of the heavy machines coming into our
county. The big machines are what
we want, because they bring the peo-
pie with money and there is only one
kind of road that can be built that
will withstand the wear and tear of
these big cars and that is the concrete
road, and a concrete road nine feet
wide, with shoulders of crushed rock
on either side can be built at an aver
age of about 100000 more per mile
than the macadam.
