ducer of Mutt and Jeff and other car
toon plays, is sending his number one
company to Polls this week to present
bringing Up Father in Politics." a
new stage version of the McManus
cartoons. There are thirty-five players
in the company. most of whom are of
the feminine persuasion and, it is
claimed, very pretty.
bringing Up Father in Politics" is,
as might be supposed, comedy, in
three acts. depicting the adventures of
Jiggs Mahoney and his comic asso-
ciates. This time his wife joins the
Society for Womans Suffrage, and has
attained the exalted position of presi-
dent, in consequence of which there
are many gatherings at the Ma
honey house. Jiggs is not in sympathy
with his wife's ambitions. In fact. he
publicly frowns on them, but before he
is aware of it he is forced into politics,
and, to his utter amazement, is elected
to Congress.
An amusing story Is told in the play.

Washington theatergoers remember Al

who was responsible for the "discov-
cry" of Jolson by j. J. Shubert, which
resulted in his meteoriike flight to
stardoul?
One who claims to know says it hap

brought up in Washington until he
reached the 'pesky' age, when playing

variably wandered down to the freight

HUNGARIANS DISAPPROVE
OF GERMANY'S
ZEPPELIN CAMPAIGN
(By United Press AssociationO


Zurich, Switzerland, May 17.-Hun-
cartons disapprove of Germans Yep
pelin campaign. They object to it
both on grounds of humanity and fol-
what they consider its uselessness.
Newspapers received here from the
most important cities in Hungary are
almost unanimous in deprecating such
methods. They do not express them
selves as freely as if there were no
censorship, but they leave no doubt
that the Hungarian people oppose this
sort of warfare.
"By striking terror into the people
of England" says the HirIap, COM
menting on Zeppelin activities, cit is
thought that the government will suf-
fer but, We car now see clearly, the
raids do not serve the purpose they
were intended for, and only result in
the annihilation Of civilians"
The Poster Lloyd and the Az Ujsag
are exceptions. Both are strongly
pro-German and express themselves
concerning air raiding much as does
the Berlin press.
Vienna and Budapest publications
speak also of the existence in Hun

as conscientious DIRECTORS" to mill

They are said to be almost without
exception of a religious sect called the

PORT EDWARDS
THE WHITECIIY

Those who travel by automobile
team or on foot are impressed with
the attractiveness of the village OF
Port Edwards which is four miles
down the Wisconsin river from Grand
Rapids.
The cement road way, side walks and
curbing are prevalent every where.
The telephone and electric light poles
are painted white excepting about six
feet at the base which is painted black.
The houses are all painted white and
lawns and curbs are well kept up. All
Of these conditions speak louder than
words in the influence and effect they
have on the stranger.
The officers and citizens ofthat vii
lage are to be complimented upon the
pride they take in these improvements.

F()URTH)F JULY
CELEBRATION
To Have or Not TO Have, That's the
Question.

A few of the business men seem to
be afraid to tackle the Fourth of July
Celebration. They say, LET Marsh
field Have It."
Opinion seems to differ among the
business men as to the advisability of
having a celebration here this year.
Those in favor of it advance this
argument. If Marshfeld has a cele-
bration, the money from Grand Rap
ids viii go up there-enough of it and
more than would be necessary to hold
celebration in this city
This is not meant to injure Marsh
field in any way, but as there has been
a sort of tentative agreement between
the two cities that they would cele-
brate in alternate years and as this is
Grand Rapids year, the business men
favoriug the celebration wish the mon
ey kept at home. Next year Marsh
field would get it anyway.
Definite action as to whether or not
Grand Rapids will have a Fourth of
July celebration will be taken next
week
