WRITES OF
"HOME-MADE" SIGNS
By observer"

Far be it from me to intentionally
offend anyone, but it seems just must
say something about some of the home
made signs all of us have seen some
place or another at one time or another:
'No Smoking Aloud" "By Underware
Here" "Speshal Sail on Hosiery" !"
"Plese Don't Ask for Credit" and a
score of others.
Few are the business men or women
who do not know how to spell these
ordinary words-but they do it through
carelessness. They seem to think that
nobody cares how word or message
is spelled, so long as it conveys the
meaning. But they mostNcertainly are
mistaken. | well know the impression
| form of business house the minute
see such sign in the place, and feel
sure that l am neither radical nor
fanantical in such matters, but that the
average man and woman are given the
same impression.
In writing these articles for your
editor, have no desire to advertise his
business. That is neither his purpose
nor mine, but in this instance | am
compelled to say that printing office
is the place to have signs printed. 1t is
a part of the printing business to be
both accurate and neat in its produc-
tions, and surely any sign that is going
to stare the public in the face should
have these qualities.
The average business house is well
supplied with attractive signs supplied
it by wholesale houses. They are Of
all shapes, sizes and colors-and they
are models of accuracy and neatness.
Perhaps it is because of these perfect
specimens that the crude, mispelled,
homemade sign with its backward IS"
and en- are so noticeable. There are
times, of course, when so few of one
certain sign or placard are wanted that
it would not pay to have them furnish
ed by printer and one is compelled
to print them by hand or not have them
at ALL In such instances, attention
should be given that every word is
spelled correctly and there are no up
sidedown" or backward" letters in it.
They are uncalled for and truly
believe they injure the business house
displaying them.

EBERT BEDE SAYS

When a base ball player gets mar
ried it's hard to get him away from the
home plate.
From the noise some people make
getting onto the water wagon one
would think it were band wagon.
If styles keep going in the direction
they have started, man may again be
able to hide behind woman's skirts.
A man should never be considered
qualified for the diplomatic service un-
til he has been married several years.
Gas pipes are being made out OF old
newspapers. That is dangerous, for
the papers may continue in the habit OF
spreading it.
1t is no wonder that there seems so
little interest in good roads when so
many of us take so little interest in the
way we are going.
Those who get out and vote for the
winning administration think such dis
play of patriotism should be awarded
with public office.
Someone has suggested that we buy
Mexico. We are willing to let those
hunt trouble who wish to but we re-
fuse to buy any for ourselves.
The girl graduate who feels that she
is qualified to run the earth may few
years later find herself pretty busy
keeping from being run too much by
one man.
Heaven most likely is not the place a
lot of folks says it is, but lot of those
who think they know what it is like
will never be able to say 4 told you SO.
There are just as many witches now
as there were in the old days, and just
as many of us men fall under their spell
but we lead them to the altar instead of
the stake.

And Along Came Ruth

"What in the world have you
brought home in the sack, Ruth?" ask
ed the mother one afternoon of her in
genious daughter.
'Bran, mother" replied Ruth.
Bran? And pray what do you mean
to do with that?"
"Why mother, bran is one of the
handiest articles you can have about a
house. 1t is good for so many differ
ent things. For instance: 1t is excel
lent for cleaning painted or vanished
woodwork, as it removes the dirt and
does not harm the finish; then if color
ed goods are washed and rinsed in
bran water they will not fade. Then
everybody knows how it whitens and
beautifies the hands and face when it
is used upon them"
"If that is the case am glad to have
such fine household help around, "
declared Ruth's mother.

"BUCKSHOT JOHN"
HIGHLY DRAMATIC

Bosworth takes special pleasure in
offering it's first Charles E. Van Loan
release, "Buckshot john" a highly
dramatic story, with many unusual
features and remarkable cast.
The plot is most original, centered as
it is around two unique characters,
desperate who later is convict, and
polished charlatan. There are num-
bers of daring scenes on moving trains,
a fresh, wholesome love story, theme
which at once attracts and holds the
audience, sympathetic central char
acter superbly played by Hobart Bos-
worth, strong supporting cast headed
by Courtenay Foote, and photography
so fine that it sets a new standard
even for Bosworth.

County Normal Notes.

Mary Boice, Rena Carroll, and Ethel
Barbour spent the week end at their
homes in Central Lake. Ruth Chellis
went to her home at Ellsworth.
'Life Is Service" has been chosen as
class motto. The colors are gold and
white.
There was great excitement in the
normal room Monday evening when the
long looked for class emblems arrived.
They proved to be all that had been
expected and the students are now
wearing them with a great deal of
pride.
Miss Whiting gave very interesting
description of Washington to the class.
She has spent two summers at the
national capitol and with the aid of
pictures she secured while there, was
able to make her hearers see things in
very vivid way.
The class attended both days Of the
meeting of the County Teachers Insti-
tute last week and found every ses-
sion profitable as well as interesting.
Mr.. Kaye, president of the Northern
State Normal School, conducted the
Institute and Mr.. Bryan, president Of
Colgate University was the principal
speaker and was received with much
enthusiasm at every meeting.
The normal students feel that they
have had fine opportunity to get
acquainted with the alumni of the coun-
ty normal and the teachers of the coun-
ty thru the reception given in the nor
NAL room and the banquet at the Hotel
Michigan. They feel that they are al
ready teachers of the county altho'
their actual work does not begin until
next year.

GABY DESLYS IN
HER TRIUMPH"

Gaby Deslys, who has been in the
public eye for some time through
her sensational triumphs on the
European and New York stages, makes
her first and exclusive appearance on
the screen in a novel comedy-drama of
the theatre, "Her Triumph" a four
part novelty film produced in Paris by
the Famous Players Film Company and
released on the Paramount Program.
Through the medium of this unusual
photoplay, the celebrated Gaby's famed
beauty and charm are transferred to the
screen, and can be appreciated to even
better advantage than from across the
footlights, because of the more realistic
powers of the film, and the widened
scope it gives her art.
The story is so developed as to pre-
sent Mile. Deslys' varied talents with
all the assisting value that a superbly
chosen cast, including her famous
dancing partner, Harry Pilcer, sumptu-
Gus settings and absorbing situations
can provide.
''Her Triumph" is an origsnal con.
ception that presents the illustrious
Gaby in varied environment, and in
circumstances that alternate between
comedy and serious drama. It'll anew
Gaby that is seen on the screen, a Gaby
not only effective in the lighter mo-
ments of her portrayal, but Gaby, al
so of dramatic power and decided his
trionic ability. The Dance Deslys,
again, which is introduced in the pro-
duction, indicates an amazing mastery
of the most difficult form of ter
psichorean art, and completes the vers-
atility of one Of the most interesting
stars that has ever been seen on the
screen.

Hints Worth Trying

To remove fish odor from silver and
cooking utensils-Let them stand in
cold water before washing.
To clean silk-Do not use brush as
the bristles are sure to scratch the sur
face. Take piece of velveteen, wipe
the silk well and all the dust particles
will be removed without the slightest
injury.
To clean mirrors-I saw a milliner
clean her windows in a few minutes.
She dipped piece of tissue paper in
wood alcohol and rubbed the surface
clean. Then took clean piece of pap
er sprinkled little whiting on it and
polished the glass. II was the quick.
est and most satisfactory method ever
saw used.

ADVERTISING CITIES

If the retailers of smaller towns and
cities were as progressive as the re-
tailers of the larger cities, the former
would understand why the public is
drawn to the latter to do it's trading.
Everywhere cities of from 25,000 popu-
lation up are raising funds of many
thousands of dollars with which to ad-
vertise themselves in papers, maga-
zines and trade publications. The
business men of smaller communities
could just as protitably put on an ad-
vertising campaign through their local
papers. Thirteen well-written page
ads, exploiting the advantages Of a
town will work wonders for business
men-and when one considers the
small cost of thirteen page ads, in a
local paper, it is not easily understood
why the business men of the smaller
towns don't try them.

Inspected and
Found Worthy
Company 'I'I Now The Lars-
est Unit in the State.

The annual inspection of Company
g" ,33rd lnf'y M. N. G. was held at
their new Armory last Monday, and
the citizens of East Jordan may well
feel proud of the excellent showing
made by the officers and members of
the Company. They received the
highest mark possible on everything
except the drill work, and the errors
made were eXcusable owing to the
crowded condition of the floor space
The inspection was made by Captain
Harry II. Tebbetts of the 10th u. S.
Inf'y, assisted by First Sergeant Wm
II. Smith of Co. L., Goth u. S. Inf'y
Company 81" have now in their pos
session about $1,000 worth of equip
ment, and every piece of this property
had to be accounted for. The inspect
ing officers found everything in its
proper place and order, and expressed
both surprise and pleasure with the
care and system shown.
In the evening the Company was
inspected, but owing to the crowded
condition of the floor it was impossible
for the members to make a creditable
showing.
Following the inspection, Capt.
Tebbetts gave brief talk on the pur-
poses of such an organization and its
value in case of actual hostilities. Aside
from this he congratulated East Jordan
on having the largest unit (or Com
pany) in the State, and this in the face
of the fact that East Jordan is the
smallest city in the State having an
M. N. g. Company. Over one hundred
spectators were present and Capt.
Tebbetts expressed surprise at the in
terest shown, stating that in other
places he had visited there was little
concern shown by the citizens. He
concluded his remarks by saying that
he hoped to have the pleasure of in
specting Company 81" again and trust
ed that another year would find them
in an armory of their own.
Company "I' now has a member.
ship of eighty-four enlisted men, land
three officers. Of these seventy-three
enlisted men and the three officers re.
ported for inspection. This Company
has the highest average attendance ot
any Company in the state.
Drills are held every Tuesday night
from 500 to $3.50 and the officers anC
members of the Company extend &
cordial invitation to all interested to
call at the Armory and view the work
being done.

BRIEF DECISIONS

Just because a man is enjoined to
love his neighbor as himself is no ex-
cuse for his becoming inordinately
fond of himself.
The man who made no mistake when
he married probably saved somebody
else from making one.
The world is always ready to listen
to the man who hasn't time to talk.
Wisdom Is a very useful thing that
we acquire too late to use IL.
He who friends would have must
have himself for one.
Many a man makes so much noise
blowing his own horn that he can't
hear opportunity when she knocks at
his door.-From Judge.
