VERNE RICHARDS
GETS HONOR

The latter winners of the Alma Col
lege basket ball team of 1856 have
unanimously chosen Verne Richards of
East Jordan, as captain of the 1867
basket ball team.
The honor came to Richards as a big
surprise, he being only a Sophomore in
Alma college this year, and Junior
next year, whereas it is customary to
elect Junior, who will be Senior the
following year. 1t shows just how
highly the East Jordan product stands
with his fellow athletes at Alma College.
Richards has played three positions on
the team this year and starred in each.
The new Alma College basket ball
captain will have every man back next
year, and the fact that Alma College
lost only one Michigan intercollegiate
game, leads him to believe that he will
have championship team in 1861

ALCOHOL AND
PNEUMONIA

The United States Public Health Ser
vice brands strong drink as the most
efficient ally of pneumonia. 1t de-
clares that alcohol is the handmaiden of
the disease which produces ten per
cent of the deaths in the United States.
This is no exaggeration. We have
known for long time that indulgence
in alcoholic liquors lowers the indivi-
dual vitality, and that the man who
drinks is peculiarly susceptible to
pneumonia. The United States Public
Health Service is conservative body.
1t does not engage in alarmist propa-
ganda. In following out the line of its
official duties it has brought forcefully
to the general public fact which will
bear endless repetition. The liberal
and continuous user of alcoholic drinks
will do well to heed this warning,
particularly at this season of the year
when the gruesome death toll from
pneumonia is being doubled.

three things, all for your own protec-
ton and at its own risk. II is well to
know them.
1t guarantees (a) That II will pay
only the checks you have signed. II
your name is forged and the bank pays
the check, it cannot charge the amount
to your account; (b) That il will pay
only in the sum originally drawn. If
some one gets your check and raises
the amount, making it apparently a
genuine check, the bank can only
charge the amount in which you origin
ally drew the check, unless it can show
you were grossly careless in so draw
ing that you invited fraud. Therefore
be careful to draw your checks proper
ly; (c) To pay to the party to whom
you ordered the amount paid and none
other II the check gets into the hands
of strangers who forge the Endorsement
so that the party to whom you ordered
the money paid does not get il, the
payment is at its risk, and you are
harmless.
All this is ultimately for your good as
depositor. You know that your ac-
count cannot be drawn against except
on your order. You know that the
party you want to receive payments
gets it. You get back the most perfect
voucher known to the business world.
Many dispute has been settled and
loss and law suit avoided by producing
bank vouchers that told in no uncertain
way that payment had been made ac-
cording to the intent of the drawer.
Therefore for your own good you
ought to keep your money in bank,
and draw it out by check.

RURAL CREDIT TRICKSTERS
Farmers Warned TO Be Cautious
in Dealing with Them.

The department has recently received
letters from a number of farmers who
have subscribed for stock in rural
credit companies, including so-called
cooperative companies which appear
to have no real cooperative features.
In some of these letters the complaint
is made that the agents selling the stock
make Misrepresentation as to when
loans may be obtained by subscribers
and that the companies later disclaim
responsibility for the statements made
by the agents. In number OF instances
farmers seem to have gained the idea
from the agent that they would be able
to secure loans within relatively short
time, and express disappointment on
realizing that they must wait for an
indefinite period for the promised loan
and go on making payments just the
same on the stock which they have
agreed to take.
Where farmers are confronted with
proposition of this character, they
should first read the prospectus and
the contract very carefully and make
sure that they know exactly what these
mean, especially the contract. If the
contract is so worded that its meaning
is not clear after careful reading,
this in itself should be reason enough
for extra caution. The agents eXplana-
ton of the contract is not part of the
contract, nor is his promise that the
company will do things not specified
in the contract by any means sure to
be recognized by the company.
Farmers ought, first, to find out what
provision has been made for the pro-
lection of the interests of subscribers,
either through responsible Government
supervision over the activities OF the
company, or in any other way, and if
they are in doubt they should consult
competent advisors with regard to the
responsibility of the company before
paying over, or agreeing to pay over,
their own good money. Always, in the
matter of subscription to stock in any
kind of company, they shouldiexercise
caution.

LOOKING FORWARD

There is a tendency on the part of
some writer's to belittle the Importance
of economic questions in the coming
presidential campaign, and to empha-
size the importance Of foreign policies
as a campaign issue. 1t is probably
true that the foreign relations of this
Government will be in the spotlight for
many months to come, but unless the
voters of this country are afflicted with
economic astigmatism they will weigh
carefully the questions of our future
trade and industry before casting their
ballot. Humanity is still in the bread
and butter stage.
There are two factors of prime i'm
portance in the consideration of these
very practical questions: First, the
plans now being perfected abroad for
trade combinations; and, second, the
fact that our greatest trade rival, Ger
many, will emerge from the European
struggle industrially unscathed, and
with an army of men clamoring for
work at any wage.
England has jettisoned her free trade
policy. During the middle of the 10th
Century, when her mechanical inven-
tons had made it possible to control
any market which would give free ac-
cess to her wares, it became highly
important that she operate under free
trade policy condition precedent to
| inducing other countries TO do likewise.
The so-called school of Manchester, of
| which Golden was the chief exponent,
inaugurated a free trade propaganda
which very nearly, but not quite con-
vinced Germany that open ports SPELL
ed sound economics, and which quite
thoroughly convinced large number
of people in this country that free trade
was the proper thing.
That was during the period when the
South was purely agricultural section.
The adherence of the South to this free
trade conviction has lessened in an in
verse ratio as the development of agri-
cultural industries has progressed in
Dixie. AT that time the South sold a
large share of her products to England,
where they were made up and came
back to us in the form of finished
materials. 1t is true statement that
in many cases the agricultural indus
tries of the South were utilized by
Great Britain to break down the manu-
featuring industries of the North

material, would drive our cotton manu-
facturers into bankruptcy by dumping

why the protective policy took firm
root in the North. But England fear

THE CITIZENS AND
THE SCHOOL

No matter how exalted or humble
person may be, there is one sacred
duty which he owes to humanity and
which it is imperatively incumbent
on him to pay. That duty is the pro-
lection and the fostering of our public
school system.
We are living in the age of education
and advancing intellectual development
and the human mind that is deprived
of the best advantages obtainable will
be hampered and hindered at every
step in life.
It matters not how bright nor how
acute the infantile mind may be, if
that mind is denied the advantages of
education then the child grown to ma
turity will be retarded and Inundated
because of its intellectual deficiencies.
It will be living monument to the
neglect and the indifference Of its
parents. It will be mark Of shame
and blight upon the community that
reared it in its ignorance. 1t will be
an object of pity where it should be
one of pride.
Education and the advantages of
intellectual advancement have made
America great country. And America
is even yet in its infancy.
Our school system should be encour-
aged and raised to the highest point Of
efficiency. The instructors should be
upheld and given to understand that
they have the backing Of united COM
munity, and that the community ex.
poets satisfactory results.
If our present buildings are made
quate and new ones are needed, then
for the sake of enlightened humanity
let US spend the money and get them.
Let us make any other improvements
or new departures that the welfare of
our children require.
We have brought these children into
the world, and in their infancy and
youth they are helpless. II is our duty
to give them an education that will en-.
able them to successfully cope with the
intricate problems of existence that
will confront them later in life. To
do less would be to neglect sacred
duty, to shame the innocent ones for
whose very existence we are responsi.
/ BILE.
Let us keep our schools and our chill
dren in mind. Let us study their wei
fare individually and collectively. Lei
us leave no stone unturned that will
advance their moral and materia
interests.
For the man who honors his off
spring Is honored of men.
