r. w. HOWARD VOICES
THE RIGHT Sentiment 7

In complimenting the Grand Rap
ids Herald for its strong editorial
last Friday regarding the dastardly
outrage perpertrated by Mexican
bandits under Villas order in shoot
ing down of Americans, f. w. Howard
voices what should be the sentiments
of every citizen Of the United States.
He says:
Editor The Herald want to
thank you for the editorial in today's
paper on the Mexican situation. ''The
Flag Droops."
81 don't see how any decent Ameri-
can with red blood in his veins can
get this matter out of his mind until
some vigorous move is made to stop
the damnable situation in that coun-
try. If those 10 men had been my
personal friends>I wouldn't feel any
worse about it. | had it on my mind
all night when awake, and / have to-
day, and | wish the American people
would rise up in a manner that would
compel the people who are supposed
to represent us in Washington to put
the machinery in motion that will re-
deem, so far as we can at this late
day, the disgraceful position that we
are now in as regards our fellow citi-
zens in that country.
In years to come every intelligent
American citizen will blush with
shame when he reads the record of
our relations and conduct as regards
Mexico during the past five years.

relatives showered Mrs. Marvin Fill
kins, living near Cooks Corners, with
postcards last Saturday, the occasion
being her seventy-ffth birthday. The

+. r. Warner Of the Star Theatre an
ounces the beginning of new serial
photoplay, ."The Goddess" to begin
next week, Tuesday. In speaking of
the new play he says:
"'The Goddess is new serial
that makes an epoch in picture MAX
ing. 1t has a sunny flavor, spring
time idyl, delicious medley of youth,
innocence, joy, love, purity, and
good. Governeur Morris, Americas s
most fluid, liquid writer has written
the story. Charles w. Goddard, au-
thor of "The Ghost Breaker" and
many other dramatic successes, has
picturized the story.
Ralph w. Ince, who has more
artistic successes to his credit than
any other director, has produced the
picture.
"Anita Stewart-prettiest, clever
est and most charming--is Celestia.
Earl Williams is playing opposite as
Tommy Steele, her chief worshiper.
The Goddess is not a sensational
no typical cigarette smok-
ing william still pursuing her, and yet
interest, curiosity, fascination, desire,
all has been created to make each sue
ceeding chapter mere interesting than
the one before.
"The picture Of The Goddess in
two part weekly chapters can be seen
at the Star Theatre on Tuesday of
each week, commencing January rs.

by Sheriff Bradford of Ithaca and the
sheriffs of Isabella and Shiawassee

Boil Weevil Loses Much of
Its VigOr.

Discussing the distribution of boil
weeyil in Mississippi as the noted
little insect pest has manifested it.
self in the State so far this season,
men who are qualified to speak with
some degree of authority state that
while it is apparent in every section
of the State, yet at the same time II
is rather more sporadic than gen.
eral where it has appeared. This
is the view of X. S. Wilson, state
agent in Mississippi for the U. 5.
farm demonstration forces, and of
DR.. r. w. Harmed, State entomo-
logist, and member of the Missis-
sippi A. 4 NJ. College faculty. Both
these active officials spent Sunday
in Jackson, passing>through to other
points in Mississippi. Mr.. Wilson
has just returned from Washington,
d. c., where he was in conference
with DR.. Bradford Knapp. director
general of the demonstration forces
and both were on the way to their
headquarters at Starkville.
According to DR.. Harmed, his Of
flee has had more specimens from
counties i'm the extreme northeast
part of the State than from any other
section, and the indications are that
they are quite heavily infested. At
the same time, the appearance of
the bug has not caused any panic
or led to the closing out of any bus
mess houses. so far as they are in
formed. This indicates that the ex-
periences of those parts which suffer
ed the most seriously and tragically
when the pest first struck the State
some eight or nine years ago, have
sent a note of warning to those which
are now feeling the effects for the
first time. They have certainly
adopted preparedness measures that
count on the right side of the ledger
and this is through just such agen-
cies as that represented by these
preachers and teachers of progress.
