WHAT SHOULD l DO?

What should do, is the question
which many are asking since war was
declared the latter part Of last week.
Il is a fighting question.
What should | do? Work earnest
~, no matter at what task you work.
Many thousands of young men are
going to the front, TO work as hard
rs you, in UNFOLDING the honor Of the
flag.
To you at home, it means just that
much more to accomplish to keep the
wheels of industry turning, TO keep
the plowshare from rusting, to keep
the country in a prosperous state,
iispite the war.
No matter what you work at, work
at it with a vim. Get it done in rec
ord time, and at something else. Then,
whether at the front or not, you are
truly aiding your country TO solve its
many perplexing problems

SAGINAW SHOW NOTES

Oliver Morosco's exquisite comedy
Of youth, peg O'My Heart" from the
pen of j. Hartley, will be the atrac-
ton at the Academy, Saginaw, one
night mly, Wednesday, April 18th.
The chief character in the play,
Peg is an Irish-American girl,
s,ubbornly, partriotically, American,
yet loveable and wittily Irish in her
nature. She is the daughter Of a
east-off English mother, whose rela-
tives, through the TENS Of will, have
had to take her into their home for
the purpose of educating her She ia
by no means welcome there, but the
fact that she inherited n portion Of
the estate, make it necessary for her
"blue-blood" relatives to endure her
presence. The play is clean, whole
some and refreshing, with plenty of
comedy and pathos. Marion Dentler,
greatest Of all Pegs" who appeared
in the original Morosco production
will play the role Of "Peg" and the
company in support of her is a very
capable one. This is the first time
"Peg O'My Heart" has appeared in
Saginaw at popular prices. Seats will
be reserved for out Of town patrons
BY calling up the Academy box Of
Ace.

Since the war was declared almost
a week ago, and il became known
that President Wilson wanted an ar
MY Of over a million men. Alma has
responded with one enlistment. The
United States may be facing the

that Alma aid the local recruiting sta

Tabloid History
of United States
CHAPTER Y.

Sihh iNh W
When the united Colonies first
became the United States of
America their band was a loosely
drawn code called the ARTICLES of
confederation"
These were adopted by con-
gress in 1777 and by all states by
1881.
The general government had
little power under this arrange
ment, the separate states doing
pretty much as they pleased.
After the revolution congress
had no power of raising revenue
or of maintaining an army.
The confederation couldn't pay
its debts, and the paper money
issued by various states was near
ly worthless.
Out of the central government
weakness a constitutional conven-
ton was assembled in 1887, which
drew up and constitution under
which, with amendments, the ma
ton still lives.
This constitution provided for a
president, to be the chief official
of the government, who was to be
chosen by an electoral college
composed of delegates from all
|states-the method that still sur
wives on paper, although the prac-
tice is different.
The first college of electors" In
|17S9 chose Gen. George Washing
ton, president.
He served two terms, and was
succeeded in 1897 by John Adams,
who served one.
Thomas Jefferson, third presi-
dent, served two terms, to 1909.
His greatest act was the purchase
of Louisiana" which included all
Territory between Mississippi river
and the Rockies, north of Texas.
He waged a successful naval war
against the Barbary pirates, and
during his administration there
were naval encounters with
France, without a formal declara-
ton of war.
France and Britain, at war,
preyed on United States commerce
