The dancing contingent will rejoice
to hear that the Cherrians soon will re-
sumo their jitney dances again. The af'
fairs will be similar to those given dur
ing the summer months.

there are but few dancing parties
scheduled for the winter season.

next month there will be benefit play
given for the Cherrians, Although as
yet the cast has not been selected, it is
rumored that Mr.. Mott, who has won
such flattering praise in his produc-
tions of amateur plays, will again di-
rect the cast and that he will produce

Backaehe is Discouraging
But Not So Bad If You Know How to
Reach the Cause.

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Belding people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case:
Mrs. Hanson, 927 Alderman St.,
Belding, says: "The first symptoms
of kidney trouble in my case was pain
in the small of my back. Then the
kidney secretions bothered me and I
had headaches and nervous spells.
One Of my friends gave me box Of
Doan's Kidney Pills. They soon re-
lieved all the symptoms of kidney
trouble and / have been in good health
ever since"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Hanson had. Foster -Milburn Co.,

Howell.-There was a surprise in
store for many of those in attendance
at the services in the Baptist church
Sunday. Two of the ardent young
workers in the church had hit upon a
novel manner of assuming the hy-
meneal knot. Roe A. McCracken, a
member Of the choir, and Miss Agnes
Culver, the lady who presides at the
organ, left their. places in the choir
loft and stepped in front of the altar.
They were quickly joined by Bruce
Newcomb and Miss Fay Brockway,
two other members of the choir, and
before the large audience in attend
ance Rev. Atchison spoke the words

Smoking Barred from Garages

Lansing.-John T. Winship, state
fire marshal, has added a new section
to the fire marshal regulations pro-

besides large property damage, caus-
ed by lighting match in a garage.

pounds which brought 1925 per hun

Military Drill in Schools

1t is to be hoped that the Board Of
Education will not be ,swayed from
its purpose to establish voluntary mil
itary training in connection with the
St Louis high schools by any show
ing of opposition that may be made
at the hearing on the subject this
afternoon. If the training were COM
pulsory and if il occupied the hours
of regular school work, protest Of
large proportions should be Needed.
But since only such students as wish
to avail themselves Of the advantages
Of military drill, under supervision of
u regular army officer, will be af-
fected, and since the drilling will be
outside of school hours and will not
be a financial burden on the public
school system, objections should be
tested by their quality rather than by
the number of persons that may be
induced to urge them.
The advantages are manifold and
obvious. The training will be physi-
cally, mentally and morally benefic-
ial. Parents go 10 great expense to
send their sons to private military
academies to get the same training
which may be had at home, if the
Board of Education perseveres in its
announced policy. There is also the
benefit of rudimentEry preparation
for patriotic emergencies, apparently
somewhat remote but sufficiently i'm
portant to justify federal expendi-
lures.
The bugaboo about fostering the
spirit Of militarism is familiar. IL
was raised against the boy scout
movement. st. Louisans who attend
ed the great pageant ald observed
the manly, courteous boy scouts en-
ployed so helpfully on that occasion,
laugh at those early misgivings. Mil
itarism is matter Of spirit. Every
Swiss is trained soldier but the
Swiss are aggressively pacific. Men
who argue that our only protection
against a militaristic spirit lies in
national and individual feebleness
have sorry notions Of human nature.
Our future depends on the develop
ment Of positive virtues and not upon
neglect.-Globe-D Democrat.

Hopeful Heflin

The democrats at national head
quarters are greatly cheered up. Con
gresham Tom Heflin Of Alabama
lately dropped in upon them and an
nounced his firm belief that Wilson
will be overwhelmingly reelected. He
also stated that he had been asked
to take the stump in twenty states.
We hope he accepts. We hope, too,
that all of those states are in the
North; and preferably-or should we
say "prefereacialmente ?"-we hope
Connecticut is among them. The voters
Of Connecticut should be glad to see
and hear Heflin-for it was he who,
during the debate on the Underwood
bill in 1913, threatened TO take dem
ocratitc congressman from Connecti-
cut outside and lick him, simply be
cause the Nutmeg democrat had mild
ly voiced his disappointment that the
southern trainers of the new tariff
had seen fit so consistently to give
the short end of it to the North and
it's industries. Heflin is also that
member of Congress who bounded in
to fame awhile back by getting into
an alteration with colored fellow
passenger on a Washington street
car. He drew his gun on the negro,
but his usually calm nerves were
somewhat flustered and he shot
white man in the leg. Later he add
ed to his repute by going into a Wash
ington department store to ask for
some hosiery. BLACK or white ?"
asked the polite salesgirl. White, 3"
exclaimed Hcflin, with great indigna-
tion, adding land by Cad won't buy
'em here"
Marked Exhibit A" and sent out
into the Northern states, Heflin and
his hopes should make a pronounced
hit-for the republican party.
