RICHEsT WOMAN

Mrs. Hetty Green, long conslueTeu
one of Americas richest women, If NOT
the richest, has died, leaving for
tune beyond the power of the average
imagination to conceive. Left rich as
a girl, she added to her millions by
shrewed management. She lived IN
such frugal fashion as to make her
name a national synonym for stlngl-
ness. She may have had worthy Sc
cret motives for the accumulation OF
wealth. If so, they will become pub,
lie only when her will is read. Russell
Sage, whose habits were similar, left
a princely fortune for philanthropy.
But Hetty Green died without giving
the world any hint of philanthropic
purposes. For a long time she was
suspected of refusing for sentimental
reasons to sell an abandoned gold
mine, acquired by her husband. But
a few months ago she sold the mine az
a fancy price, for which she had been
waitin. She engaged in on great en-
terprises. She seemed to care lit
tie for the power wealth gave her.
She seemed to be thrifty for thrift's
sake, a worthy disciple of Poor Rich
ard.
If gathering and holding money be
the chief aim of life, Mrs. Green was
a great success. Her judgment IN
financial matters was almost infalli-
bic. She foresaw the panic of 1907
and modified her resources so that
she was able to render aid to her as
sociates, on terms profitable to her.
self. She was apparently never sway
ed by sentiment. Before her marriage
she demanded a contract that preclud-
ed the possibility of Mr.. Green ever
wasting any of her money. She
sought to train her son in her finan-
cial ways and is said to have hoped to
make him the richest American. AL
though loyal son, Mr.. Green has
shown better conception of relative
values, and it may be safely predict
ed that his portion of his mothers
money will do vastly more for human
betterment than it did while in pos

THE LOCALS RISE
TRIUMPHANT AGAIN
FLICK ENSTEIN CLUB OF MUSKE-
CON GIVEN SHUT-OUT ON
LOCAL LOT

Wednesdays game of last week was
a disappointment to the fans that were
out to Leonard park. They went ex-
pecting TO see lonia trimmed and
came away with the knowledge that
the locals had received a trimming
from the visitors 3 to l. No one in
particular seemed to blame, but the
team lacked pep and united action.
Scoring one run in the first frame the
visitors added two more in the fourth.
IL was true that the breaks came
against the locals all the time. At
three different times they threatened
to score heavily and in each instance
were retired without runs. Reynolds
was hit freely, recoveries were quick,
thus shortening the advantage.
Sundays game with the Flecken-
stein base ball club of Muskegon was
return to old form. 1t was swell
tering hot and one of the visiting
players, Anderson, was unable to fin
ish the game, the result of which was
shut-out for the visitors. Anderson
was overcome early in the game and
as the Muskegon bunch only brought
nine men, Voss was put in to COM
plete the lineup. He went to right
field and gave the visitors some good
work. Voss featured a double when
he caught long fly then pegged
runner out at the plate when he at
tempted to come home after the out.
Jimmie" Nolen was released last
week, and has gone to Charlotte. He
had been going good at short but his
performance at the stick did not come
up TO the desired standard of the
management. Martin, an eX-leaguer,
has been signed on the club, and some
shuttle in the lineup may be expected
with his entry.
Some fast games are booked for the
home lot within the next week. Sagi-
nav comes here next Saturday and
Sunday for two days battle. They
will be followed on Monday and Tues
day by the Grottos of Detroit.

KEEPER OF KENT COUNTY
POOR FARM DEAD

George Albert, aged sixty-one, for
three years keeper of the Kent coun-
ty poor farm, dropped dead as he was
entering his home Sunday at $50.
Apoplexy was the cause of death. He
was in apparent good health Sunday
and had spent the afternoon inspect
ing the farm. He had just complet-
ed walk when death occurred.
Mr.. Albert was appointed keeper Of
the poor farm by the board Of super
visors in 1913. He had moved to
Kent county thirty-eight years ago,
settling on a farm in Plainfield town
ship. Fourteen years later he moved
to Alpine. He served twelve years as
a justice Of the peace and in 1909 he
was elected on the Democratic ticket
as a member Of the board of supervis-
ors from Alpine.
Mr.. Albert was brother of Joseph
Albert Of Otisco.

PUBLISHERS OF REED
CITY HERALD CELEBRATE

T. o. and A. w. Huckle, publishers
of the Osceola County Herald Clarion
at Reed City. are to be congratulated
on the most excellent paper published
last week. IL was known as their
"New Building and New Equipment"
issue, and contained twenty-four
pages all home print filled with good
timely advertising and news. The
makeup was very commendable and
the presswork was neatly done. The
citizens of Reed City are to be con-
graduated on having two men such as
the Huckle Brothers, who give their
city and section such excellent rep
resentation.
The entire business, including the
building, was destroyed by fire last
March since which time the publica-
ton of the Herald Clarion has been
most difficult 1t is now housed in
new building and has all new equip
ment. Conforming with the idea of
having only one paper in a town of
less than ten thousand, the Reed City
Clarion was consolidated with the
Herald a year ago. Since this time
the new publication has been able to
do many things for the people of its
section that were not possible under
the old plan. The sheer necessity and
absolute business-like policy of hav-
ing only one newspaper has been an
entire success there. Statistics show
that over a score of consultations
were consumated in Michigan last year
and several hundred in the United
States, 1876 being chronicled in one

A BIG INTEREST RETURN

Six per cent is considered mighty
good interest today. Many people, in
order TO get six per cent on their
money, will take quite little chance
of losing the principal Yet there is
one way in which one can get not six,
but sometimes sixty per cent, on con-
siderable sums of money.
That way is particularly open at
this season of the year 1t is by
watching closely what retail dealers
are selling out summer goods cheap.
to avoid carrying them over until an
other season. Dealers with live and
active stocks always do this. They
tell the public about it in the Banner.
One can buy for $500 today many
articles Of clothing or house furnish
ings, that are sure to be wanted in a
few months, and which another year
will cost $500 or more. If a person
is living absolutely hand to mouth,
with not dollar ahead, he can be ex-
cused for not taking these chances
that come along every year. Such
cases are illustrations of the fact that
the poor pay the highest prices for
everything.
But if one has money ahead, even if
it be only a few dollars, il seems folly
not to take a profit of $500, $500 or
more, on a $1,000 purchase. Some
people will decline to do it in certain
lines on the ground that styles may
change. Yet such changes are after
all rather gradual and in these high
cost Of living times, few people at
tempt any longer to keep absolutely
even with the latest Paris and New
York fashions. The game costs toe
much. Individuality in derss, both
with women and men, grows from
year to year. It is the only econo-
ical way to live

taking advantage Of the special bar

MACHINE GUNS AVAILABLE

One of the most reassuring bits of
news made public since the begin
ming of militia mobilization says an
eastern exchange, is the announce
ment that the War Department has
obtained for immediate delivery some
$50 Lewis machine guns, manufactur-
ed for use in Europe, but turned over
to- this country through the courtesy
of the British government. The Lewis
machine gun is only one of the many
American inventions that have prov
ed their worth in the present war,
but have so far been of no service to
TINS country. The gun is particularly
effective, combining rapidity Of fire
with accuracy and an improved barrel
cooling and loading system.
1t is probably no exaggeration to
say that $50 of these guns, properly
handled, would prove more valuable in
action than several regiments of in
fantry, unsupported by such ordinance.
If the War Department can make a
few more purchases Of equipment as
badly needed as are machine guns, the
danger of sending only partially
trained soldiers into action would be
greatly lessened. There seems to be
no reason why this cannot be done.
This country has been turned into
veritable arsenal by the European
war. This Government has a right
to demand that it be supplied first. in
case of an emergency, with the NUM-
tions it needs. Whether we have war
with Mexico or not, there is no excuse
for failure to provide all the material
that is needed to put our forces on the
best possible footing.

EXPLOIT OF THE DEUTSCHLAND

Another dream of Jules Verne has
been surpassed, in the safe trip of the
submarine merchantmen, the Deutch-
land, from Hegoland to the Baltimore
harbor. Ii is astonishing enough that
a craft of such size could be made
submersible at will and that it could
be navigated with precision. 1t has
not been so very long ago, in the
sweep of history, when any kind of
boat Of such capacity would have been
a prodigy. Two years ago there
would have been scornful skepticism
over the possibility of a submarine of
any size making SO long a trip, I'M
der the most favorable circumstances.
There was establishment when Ger
man war submarine showed up in the
Dardanelles, 300 miles from it's base.
The exploit of the Deutschland is far
greater in every respect, not the least
being the fact that the attempt had
been advertised in advance and the
French and British navies were alert
to prevent its success.
There is no reasonable ground for
questioning the character of the YES
sell The fact that it is unarmed and
is commanded and manned by civil
ians gives it every international priv
ilege belonging TO merchantmen. 1t
may not get safely back to Germany
but there will be no legal difficulties
about its stay here and its clearance
papers. Speculations as to the char
acter of its return cargo are idle. We
do not know what Germany needs
most and we probably shall not know
until the manifest is issued. The re-
turn trip will encounter every Difficult
ty the British and French navies can
throw in the way, after the three
miles limit is passed. 1t is not merely
a matter of pride, but a question of
making the blockade really effective.
If the Deutschland returns safely, the
exploit may be repeated by it and
kindred craft.

Held Lucky Number

w. A. Garrett, salesman for the j.
w. Butler Paper company of Chicago,
who is a resident of Grand Rapids,
held the lucky number on an Oak
land six touring car which was given
away by the United Commercial
Travellers at their recent meeting in
Grand Rapids. Mr.. Garrett had pur-
chased book of four tickets early in
the game and had even forgotten that
he did so. Imagine his surprise
when he was called on the telephone
one afternoon and told that he had
won the car.
Mr.. Garrett is a very worthy per-
son to receive such a gift. He is a
genial and energetic salesman and is
universally liked in his territory. All
his patrons wish him the best of luck
with the new machine.

THE SERVICE OF THE LINERS"

The months just past have been
great times for annual meetings. The
newspapers are full of lists of Off
GERS elected for churches, fraternal
and charitable societies, business cor
porations. 1t is very noticeable that
the work of carrying on all these or
CARNATIONS tends TO be concentrated
in a few hands. One person may hold
office in a dozen societies.
This is an age of "jiners." 1t is
often said that one organization
should be formed just to kill off need
less societies. Yet all these forms of
work are needed. 1t often seems i'm
possible to get the offices filled. Most
people sit still and criticise, while
few get up the suppers and arrange
the entertainments.
II is sometimes said that the peo-
pie who are prominent in a number of
organizations, are pushing and ag
gressive and enjoy leadership and
management of others. 1t would be
nearer the truth to say that when
people are found to have executive
ability, they are constantly teased to
overload themselves with public
tasks.
The organization of civic and social
life involves generous, public-spirit-
ed work The time required merely
for committee meetings is almost in
terminable. The society officer often
finds it easier to decorate hall him
self than to get a committee who will
do it. A Sunday school superintend-
ent said the other day that he had
asked 81 persons to teach a Sunday
school class before he found one who
would consent.
The planning Of entertainments in
wolves ceaseless labor and endless de-
tail. Sometimes it seems a fruitless
waste of energy. Yet the town lack
ing these social features is dead Peo-
pie don't like to live there.
1t should be recognized that people
who accept these offices and perform
these tasks perform a real public SER
vice. Wherefore, before declining to
serve as secretary or committee mem
Der of some good organization, think
it over well before you funk on it.
