Sudden. breaking of the

which swept over a greater
part of Wayne county late
yesterday afternoon, ending
a drought of several weeks
duration, resulted in only
nominal damage to crops and
property but almost caused a
panic at the Hawkins bath
ing pond between Glen Miller
and Morton lake.
One woman, a sister of C.
0. Parker, manager Of the
bathing beach, was badly
shocked and slightly burned
about the neck as the result
of a metal necklace. She was
unconscious for about an
hour and for a time her re-
cOvery was in doubt.
About forty bathers, nearly all boys,
were submerged in the lake by the
bolt which shocked the woman, who
was standing in a refreshment stand
This bolt charged the water and
almost instantly every one of the
bathers went under

Endorsed by Government Officials;
At the Iris Monday, May 1.

Shortly after the outbreak of the
great European conflict now raging,
f. o. Nelson, of Chicago, realizing
to the full the deadly peril which

account of it's "unpreparedness," de-
termined through the medium of the
moving picture, to piece before the
people the actual facts of the situ-
alton. The result has been a phe-
nomenal picture.
Mr.. Nelson's effolts are the out
come of a purely patriotic idea. His
sole aim has been to arouse the easy
going home-loving American citizen
to his duty and loyalty to "thc flag"
1t has taken months of labor and
thousands of dollars to bring about
