GOOD FAIR
Many Unusual Features for West
Michigan State Fair

In keeping with Governor Albert
+. Sleeper's proclamation requesting
that the Michigan fairs set aside GER
tain days for patriotic celebrations,
the West Michigan State Fair Sep
tcmber 1921 will offer one of the
biggest patriotic spectacles ever
staged in the middle west. The spec
tacle will be in the nature of a
pageant and has been appropriately
named, "The March of the Allies"
The battle scenes of Europe will be
cleverly depicted, by attachments Of
troops representing the various
branch of service engaged in the
world war. The British tanks which
have Mortified the German armies
will crawl over the miniature battle
field at the fair and Ruth Law and n
corps Of prominent war aviators will
swoop over the allied lines to gain
first hand information regarding leu
tonic activities. Ruth Law is the only
woman aviator who has been permit
ed to fly over the allied lines and she
will be able to show fair visitors how
the air maneuverS are conducted bet
ten than any other aviator in Amer
lea today Soon after her engage
ment at the West Michigan State
Fair she will again join the American
aviators in France.

PROTECTION

The recent Alma tragedy probably
could not have been averted even had
the city swarmed with police, but it
has brought home to the residents
of the city the fact that Alma is no
longer a small struggling hamlet,
where one or two mem are able to do
the policing for the community.
1t has brought forth in startling
fashion the need that Alma has for
police protection. Such an act as
took place week ago Tuesday.
could take place on almost any of the
streets of the city at night, when only
enc lone officer is on duty.
Not that he in inefficient--far from
il Oscar Vibber has been tried and
found highly efficient man, but to
ask him to take in his charge the en-
tire policing of Alma during the
night, to take charge of the lights
of the city, to traverse the streets
and alleys of the business section and
see that front and back doors of bus
mess places are locked, is really too
much to expect of one man. He can
not be everywhere at the same time,
which only goes to show that Alma
is inefficiently protected.
Alma so far has had two officers
during the day. They have so far
proven about all that the city needs,
because Alma has been lucky in es-
Gaping from crime. But that does
not mean that the city is even pro-
tected during the hours of day light.
She needs more. police protection.
She is growing, strangers are coming
within her gates, and with them with
out a doubt are coming some whom
ii would take little to incite to crime.
Proper policing seems to be the only
remedy for this city.
The city council has already start
ed such action. May it be continued
until Alma is properly policed.

CLEAN 'EM OUT

warmly second the motion that the

Sheriff Bailey win win the approval
Of all right-thinking people in the city
and county II they succeed in wiping
out these plague spots.
II Is no easy task that the officers
have on their hands. Gamblers and
all that sort of lawbreakers have many
ways OF evading even the most vigi-
liant pursuers and to keep them in
check requires relentless warfare.
Even when the most persistent efforts
are made TO restrain their operations
some OF them are going to get by, just
as thieves and all other classes of
criminals sometimes manage to es-
cape but simply because they cannot
be completely wiped out is no argument
why they should be tolerated Gamb-
ling houses whether on 1.-TWO street
or Chickasha avenue, are menaces to
both the moral and business welfare
OF the community There is nothing
productive about tho occupation Of
the gamester; he is mere parasite,
reaping where he does not SOW. and
the money which goes into his Golfers
fails to find its way into the avenues
of legitimate trade.
No community that makes any pre-
tention to respectabiiity can afford to
countenance violation OF the law
against gambling or any other law.

be only as clean as the average town.
