SLEEPER INDORSED
BY WELFARE LEAGUE
Citizens Organization Approves
Candidacy of Bad Axe Man
In Lively Session.
Detroit Free Press, Apr. 23.]

In lively session at Hotel Statler
Saturday evening the Citizens Wei
fare league of Michigan carried a mo-
,tion to indorse the candidacy of Albert
E. Sleeper, of Bad Axe, for governor
Of the state.
Regarding the Endorsement of Mr..
Sleeper, Mrs. j. K. Galley, founder of
the league, said: 1--WE are standing
benin Mr.. Sleeper because he stands
for the same humanitarian movements
which the league is fighting for. He
stands for an honorable, efficient. busi-
ness administration carrying out the
will of the people and looking out for
their best interests.
"With the regard to the need for an
administrative board for state institu.
tions Mr.. Sleeper thinks as the Citizen S
Welfare League, that it is high time
that an efficient, sociologically intelli-
gent body was formed to care properly
for the moral and physical well being
of the thousands of individuals in state,
penal and charitable institutions, and
to provide room for the feeble-minded
now abroad in the state propagating
their kind for the state later to look
after"
With the final decision to stand back
of Mr.. Sleeper came the announcement
of plans for immediate opening OF
headquarters from which the league
will further the cause OF their candi-
date and will inaugurate campaign to
secure thousands of signatures to a
petition praying that the 1917 legisla-
ture pass the bill creating a board of
administration for state institutions for
which the league is sponsor.
Speakers for the evening were DR..
Guy L. Kiefer, chairman of the public
health committee of the State Medical
association, who urged the league to
, get back of the district health officers
DILL or a similar measure to provide
Qualified full. time full-pay health Off
: GERS throughout the state, and Geo. M.
Clark, of Bad Axe.

BOOST MICHIGAN

Every Michigan merchant knows that
the prosperity of his town and the
value of his property is enchanced a
hundred fold by productive, pro-
gressive farming community, and he
should do everything he can to further
the interests of the farmer as well as
the manufacturer and the laborer.
Every Michigan farmer knows farm
of one hundred acres of good land near
prosperous town is worth many times
what il would be worth back twenty
five miles in the country, and yet some
farmers are buying goods from mail
order houses in other states hundreds
of miles away from their property in
stead of boosting their own town
through buying goods at home, thereby
creating greater prosperity in their own
community and automatically enchanc-
ing the value of their own property.
Remember the balance OF trade de-
cides whether Michigan is getting rich
er or poorer. Every man in every
community is factor in the prosperity
of Michigan. 1t makes lot of differ
ence whether you are knocking or
boosting. 1t makes lot of difference
whether you are trading in Michigan or
abroad
The size of your town depends upon
the amount of business done in it and
you can't build up your town or your
State by trading hundreds of miles
away, besides the outsider pays no
taxes in Michigan but on the other
hand is coaxing all the money he can
out of Michigan, drawing upon the re-
sources of the State continuously and
is making Michigan poorer instead of
richer.
Whenever you have one dollar in
cash, or hundred, to pay down for
merchandise of any kind, give your
merchant chance and if he doesn't at
least try to meet you half way he is not
made of the right kind of stuff but do
not expect him to quote you as low a
price on a small order to be charged
and carried on the books for from a
month to year, as the outsider is will
ing to quote you on large order for
cash in advance.
Michigan merchants and Michigan
people give-eaeh other show. Get
together and buy everything possible
in Michigan. Keep your money in circu-
lation within your own range instead of
sending it hundreds of miles away to
help fill the Golfers of those who are
only interested in what they can get
out of you and return nothing in par
ticular to your town or your community
MICHIGAN MERCHANTS AND
MICHIGAN PEOPLE SHOULD CO.
OPERATE-BOOST MICHIGAN.

EBERT BEDE SAYS

Who can name off hand all the presi-
dents of Mexico since DiaZ?
Villa has all the refined and delicate
ways of a mongrel jackal and hyena.
We often make politics a matter of
charity and then wonder why taxes are
high.
The woman who chews the rag has
no right to criticize the man who mas
ticates tobacco.
We believe the income tax should
reach those with incomes just a notch
higher than ours.
The republican bosses will agree to
any kind of a platform this year-for
what's the use of being boss if there's
nothing to boss.
Talk about a married woman being
the boss. Nine cases out of ten she
isn't half as much boss after marriage
as she was before.
With the parcel post limit at fifty
pounds, subscribers of country news
papers have no excuse for not paying
their subscriptions.
Ii kisses are poisonous, perhaps they
act as their own antidote. That's the
only way we can account for our own
repeated escapes from terrible death
1t is often a good policy not to do a
thing about which you are doubtful but
how much progress would this old
wQEd have made if ii all had followed
that policy.
Over in England the women refuse
to marry men who won't go to war.
Evidently the women over there want
hen who are thoroughly seasoned for

Immortalizing a Kings Nose

If the nose of Cleopatra had been
shorter, as Pascal, the French philoso-
pher, has said, the whole face of the
earth would have been changed. "But,
adds a writer in Cartoons Magazine,
'that an inch or two. or even three, in
the matter of the King of Bulgaria's
nose is all the same to the cartoonist,
will be evident from a survey of the
great gallery of caricatures which this
monarch has inspired. "The cartoon
lists have done nothing-except immort-
alize King Ferdinand's nose. There
have been famous noses in history.
Cyrano de Bergerac was blessed with
one, Ferdinand's nose, however,
threatens to 90 laundering down the
halls Of time.

Will Leave

Harry Potter and Ray Fox Have

East Jordan is about to lose two of its
popular citizens who have found good
business opening at Spring Lake and
will leave for there, with their families,
in few days. Harry Potter, who has
been our postmaster for the past four
years and grew to manhood in our
midst, and Ray Fox, the popular r. F.

that the business opportunity present
ed them at Spring Lake is good one,
and have purchased the Garage and
Lunch Room in that village, which is
near Grand Haven.
Their going is a matter of sincere
regret to their many friends here. Both

School Commissioners
Notes
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

Ten real school visits and seven
school room calls made this week.
Clarion has a ventilating problem to
figure out. 1t will probably be a new
furnace with registers in the partition
eight feet from the floor replacing the
old floor dust fans.
The Deer Lake teacher is happy to
learn from her director that her boys
and girls may have new seats next
year.
The school district on East Chandler
hill has the biggest water supply
problem in the county. Their well is
300 feet deep and their wind mill failed
TO give satisfaction. A cement cistern
with supply hauled regularly has been
tried but it is difficult to keep it clean.
They are now debating on trying a
gasoline engine with which to do their
pumping.
Clarion has purchased some master
pieces from Landseer and Mauve.
Miss Margaret Stroud of the Undine
School is now taking 9TH and Sth grade
work and has not been absent or tardy
for eight years.
26 more Corn club contestants from
Eveline township on Friday the 2lst.
The Star school has just had the first
closing day exercises in its history.
Salutatorian and validictorian both gave
splendid addresses. The recitations
were well chosen and we'll rendered.
They called it Standard Plate day and
had the commissioner there to talk on
that subject. A big potluck dinner had
made all happy before the program
began.
You ought to see the Boyne City Key
Stone set.
Pleasant Valley is to have a box
social on the 29th. They plan on a
Standard School program with varia-
tons.
See notice of the eighth grade ex-
animation in another colnmn.
If all schools had the recommended
texts for uniform books every teacher
could profit the second year from her
first years experience with the nature
of what she is to teach. That's just one
argument 1t saves time.
There will be big crowd of Charlie
voiX county teachers in the state nor
mails this summer. Three cheers for
the professional spirit of the teacher
who wants training and goes after it.
Already Given Out-four hundred
certificates for those not absent or
tardy for four months. The supply in
this office is gone but more are order
ed. If your school lets out before the
new order gets here just send in the
names of the boys and girls deserving
them so that the commissioner may
send them their certificates when the
order arrives.
Those not absent or tardy this spring
get free ticket to the fair.
In a thick forest the saplings are
weak and slender. What is natures
! lesson to the school room?
To have what you want is wealth; TO
do without is power.
II a man has money his funny stories
will always get laugh.
The man who tells you he is no fool
may merely be mistaken.
A pretty girl finds nothing but pleas
ant reflections in her mirror.
And many a dear girl makes the mis-
take of marrying a cheap man.
If man has true sense Of humor
he knows when not to get funny.

Through an error Champ Clark found
himself the other night at a hospitable
table where some Republican Con-
gressmen were giving a dinner. He
enjoyed himself hugely, the reports
say; and it is safe guessing that he was
much more agreeably placed than if he
found himself at a board where there
might be more pronounced emphasis
in favor of the present occupant of the
White House.

Meredith Nicholson, author of the
''Port of Missing Men," and other
works OF fiction, has been spoken of as
assistant secretary of war to succeed
Henry Breckenridge, who resigned
with Garrison. Mr.. Nicholson's train
ing in the world of letters commends
itself to Mr.. Wilson, who is afflicted
with writer's itch. If the Children's
Bureau is ever vacated during Mr..
Wilson's administration, he will pro-
baby appoint Laura Jean Libbey to
that position. This is pen and ink
administration.
Seven years ago Republican Secre-
tary of State tried to have Congress
establish the office of Under Secretary
but the highly democratic Democrats
reared up and denounced the scheme
as patterning after the effete monar-
chies of Europe. So, while the job was
established, the title given to it was
nf Cnnncn1lA,
Gratis have brought in bill to change
the name Of the place to Under Secre-
tary. 1t is a small matter, perhaps,
but, taken with all the other Republi-
can notions which Democrats nowadays
are adopting, it is worth noting.
An amendment to the sugar bill, Of
fered by Senator Lodge, provided for
a tariff on dyestuffs, a measure of
legislation which has the approval of
Democrats and Republicans alike, out
side Of Congress. The Democrats vot-
ed it down, of course. The dyemakers
will have to possess their souls with
patience until 1917. This action of the
Senate is pretty certain indication
that there will be no attempt on the
part OF the House Democrats to bring
in protective dyestuffs tariff. The
Hill bill will go into the discard for this
Congress.

Daring Deeds of Raiders
Widely Applauded in Berlin
BY .4ssoeidtsd Press

Berlin, Feb. 8, via London. - News
of the arrival of the Appam at Nor
folk and OF the daring raids of a Ger
man cruiser in the main lane of sea
traffic between South Africa and Eu-
rope has aroused a new outburst of
enthusiasm for the navy. The cruiser
MoeWe-in English, the Seagull-was
enrolled on the honor list with the
Emden, Prinz Eitel Friedrich and
Karlsruhe. Her feats are character
lied as most daring, illustrative of the
fact that the spirit which animated
the men on the Emden is still alive
and that further pages of German his
tory are being written.
/ There is no little mystery regarding
the identity of the Moewe. Admiralty
officials evidently were not surprised
at the news, but for obvious reasons
decline to give any information about
the cruiser or whence she set out for
her raids.
a vessel named Moewe is given in
the German navy list as a surveying
ship. She formerly was engaged in
survey work at the East African sta
tion. The raider may have been this
craft, although ii seems improbable
that il was this little steamer of $50
/ tons, with a speed of only nine knots.
1t nav have been that some larger
steamer, assuming the name Moewe
when converted into an auxiliary
cruiser, slipped through the British
| lines. \ precedent of this nature en-
lists in the case of the German mer-
chairman which was converted into
the auxiliary cruiser Meteor which
sank the British patrol boat Ramsey
and other ships in the North Sea last
summer and consequently was de-
stroyed.
The German surveying ship MeoWe
was sunk by gunfire on August 8, 1914
