$2 ,ooo A YEAR.

We have sort of feeling that John Ja- cob Astor isn't setting his American peers good example. In an era when nearly all of Us are graphing g,imly with the economic wolf, alias Cost of Living, young Astor blandly confesses-or his mother does it for hinl-that his living expenses in three years and half have amounted to $S6,o35.
 Really, isn't it going pretty strong when three-year-old baby can't get along on less than $25, 1000 year?
 To be sure, little John Jacob has obliga- tions that he can't very well dodge. He has to live on Fifth Avenue, and his share of the taxes on that property are over $IIsooo a year. One must keep an expensive house hold, too, in little John Jacobs circle. It costs him about ST GOO year for his part of the house expenses he doesn't entertain much, either. He pays his doctor $2, ,ooo year and his lawyer $Io,ooo a year. You might not think that baby needs lawyer, but that just shows how little you know. about aristocratic babies He has trouble some income tax to pay. And he has to have clothes and toys. Those indispensable arti- cles have cost him about $6,ooo in his short life. ia ~~'-- ,4~''.. i. ''-st-.
 Maybe John Jacob can't help it. The pressure of environment is hard for an out slider to appreciate. And yet, we can't help suspecting that the young man is going it a bit strong. And such habits grow.
 If it costs him S25 1000 year when he's three, how can he get along on less than a million a year when he grows up? And by that time maybe Uncle Sam won't allow any body to have million year. Income and inheritance taxes point that way. >.

TEACHING LINCOLN.

The suggestion that the life of Abra- i,ara Lincoln be taught in the pub'ic schools is opposed by Nebraska newspaper n the ground that eff boys compelled to study Lincoln they won't like him.
 It is isn't meant, apparently, to insnu- ate that Lincoln himself is unlikable on close acquaintance. The idea is that inasmuch as children dislike nearly everything they are forced to study, they would dislike Lincoln, too If he were added to the curriculum.
 It might turn out that way. But doesn't it all depend on the manner of teaching? There seems to be no reason in the nature of things, why boys and girls should usually dislike an author they have studied in school It's stupid and mechanical instruction that does the harm. The pupils of Give teacher who breathes the breath of life into the books she handles and the subjects she teaches, doesn't have any such trouble. Her children don't leave school bathing things or people because they have studied them
 If Lincoln is taught in the usual dry-as- dust way-if hes divided into ''an earlier, middle and later period and each period is elaborately dissected and criticised, if his speeches and writings are analysed after the usual manner of literary instruction in high schools, if the pupils are required to pass drastic examinations on all the facts and du- ties of Lincolns career, if he is held up as a superhuman model of all the virtues it's need less to say they won't like him. But if he's set forth as a hesh-and-blood human being with all his queer, homely qualities along with his noble chare cter and big brain, then how can any American child help loving and emulating him?

Reported Release of Globe Murderer Arouses Ire of Citizens.

| GLOBE-Considera comment has been aroused in the city over the re- ported release from the state prison at Florence, of Frank w. Turner, con victed here of murder about six years ago. According to an unofficial rumor current. Turner was paroled on con- dition that he leave the state entire ly. The man was sentenced to serve 9 life term and was only saved from the moose through plea of insanity set up in his behalf.
 The crime of which Turner was convicted was a particularly atroci- ous affair. The convict murdered in cold blood a man who had befriend- ed him, and attempted to kill another who had been instrumental in saving the criminals life.
 ion mine where he was employed ''Tim" Bennett, well known miner who resides here at the present time, found Turner sitting outside his cabin on the night of October, 1910. After short conversation, Turner asked for drink and was invited inside of the house.
 After giving his guest class of water, Bennett started towards a small clothes closet to hang up his coat. As he did so, Turner sprang upon him and thrust a.revolver against the side of his face. After terrific battle, Bennett was knock ed unconscious and shot twice through both cheeks.
 A bystander heard the reports and succeeded in capturing Turner who was promptly lodged in jail. An in vestigation disclosed the body of U. W. Thompson, Bennett's partner, wedged in the closet which the lat

F. W. Redfern,
Chm. Dis Board No 3. Third East
ern Dis Of Mich.
This letter shows most clearly that
at no time were afiidavits filed with
either the local board or the appeal
board. If filed with the local board
they would 90 forward to the appeal
board and If the appeal board received
such allidavits, it stands to reason
that such would be known by the
board.
1t shows clearly that Brown only is
to blame for the plight in which he
has found himself, and in which his
wife is placed, with her small child.
No blame can be properly attached
to either the local board or the appeal
board as is shown by the correspond
ence, as the stories in the state papers
would lead one TO believe.
This ease is good one for the peo-
pie to remember in the future, when
addltlonal men are called for eXamin-
alton. Men with responsibilities at
home should see to il that they file
proper claims with supporting aifi
davits
The government has no desire TO
place hard burdens upon any mother
or her family. but places the respon-
sibility with the husband or some
member Of the family and they should
see to it that the mother and the
family is given the right to the hus
bands services.
Whether or not Brown will be re-
leased from service is not known.
The matter is out of the hands of
either of the boards, as Brown is now
in the service. Ii is now matter for
the officials at Camp Custer to work
out, as the boards now have no con
troll over the matter at all.

THEY HAVE GONE
One Hundred and Nine Men Left for
Camp Custer.

Early last Friday morning, forty
per cent of the draft quota of Gratiot
county left for Battle Creek, where
the one hundred and nine men com
posing this portion or the quota will
go into training for the new nation
al army. The scenes at the depot that
morning will long linger in the minds
OF the two thousand Alma people
who turned out TO see the boys leave.
The home guards of Alma and the
veterans Of the Civil war turned out
to do honor to the young men who
were leaving to make history for the
country, and escorted them to the de-
pot. This was made possible by the
Republic, which allowed the members
of the home guards, who work there
to lay off for a time to march to the
depot with the guard of honor.
Few were the people who did not
feel a lump come up in their throats
a. the boys left for Battle Creek and
Camp Custer. Many an eye was red
from weeping.
Those who left for the camp were
perhaps feeling better than those
staying behind. The prospect of new
experiences, and loathing for show
ing their feelings made them a smil-
ing and at least seemingly happy
bunch Of men.

STOLEN AUTO
ibber Had Hunch and il Returned
Stolen Car TO its Owner.

Chief OF Police Oscar Vibber, evi-
dently acted ON a bunch, and a pro
cess of deduction the first Of the week
and thereby returned a stolen Ford
car to its owner in Midland, from
whom it had been taken Saturday
night.
Late Saturday night the car was
left standing on the streets of Alma,
and there it stood during the day,
Sunday and all night. When no one
seemed to be laundering after this
particular car, which Nibber could
not help but notice. because it was
left standing so long, he concluded
that il had been stolen from some
where.
As o result the automobile was
taken to the Studebaker garage and
the license number looked up. The
number K5567, showed that it was
owned by A. f. Beebe of Midland.
" ord was sent to the officials there
by Officer Campbell ard Monday af-
ternoon Mr. Beebe came to Alma,
proved his ownership to the Ford,
and returned home with IT,
Midland officers started looking for
the automobile Sunday, but word had
not reached here Of the stolen car.

bales or handles and lips for conven
