CAR FERRIES FREE.

The four Ann Arbor car ferries that

outside OF Frankfort harbor worked
themselves loose last week Friday and
proceeded on their way without fur
Their trouble. Two OF the ferries were
bound for Manistique and succeeded

further interference. The other two
were destined for Manitowoc harbor
and had little difficulty in getting
through the ice to that port
The station at Manistique was
crowded with people when the boats
arrived there to witness the novel
sight of the boats crushing the great
ice fields that had been formed out
side of the harbor after the ten days
of intense cold which interviewed be
tween their arrival and their leaving
on their last visit to that port

The wide variations in expense In
the several townships in the different
years indicate that there has been
change In supervisors in some OF the
townships and that there is change
in administration.
The system you are working under
at the present time tends TO encourage
the different townships to get all pos
sible cases onto the Mothers Pension
list and transfer the expense from the
township to the county.
There seems to be very little actual
investigation into the conditions and
circumstances OF the families receiv-
ing relief and the desertion cases are
altogether too common. To make the
comparison more plain. where Dickin-
SON is only expanding s4S6.00 per year
In Mothers Pensions Iron is spending
over sl5,0oo0O. Dickinson is spend
ing 100000 in outdoor relief and
Iron Is spending over sl4,ooo.oo.
Now we believe in the poor being
adequately cared for especially the
children, but where II is evident that
those that are not in need OF relief
are receiving IL, this prevents the
needy child receiving his just share.
While Il Is true in a measure that each
township can care for its own poor,
and it's their own business how they
do this, yet every township in it's ad-
ministration affects the county and the
county the State.
Where there Is large proportion
OF foreign population II is very neces-
sary to guard public aid in every way
so that IL will not encourage them TO
look for help from the State. There
is a biighting influence on the family
that is forced to depend on the public
for support for any great length Of
time. and every safeguard should be
placed on the administration OF pub
lie relief.
A thorough investigation into all
the conditions, health, morals, means
OF support and relatives should be
made i'm every case and thorough
follow up system should be adopted so
that all means for self help could be
Afforded and the smallest possible
state OF dependency be allowed
A complete record OF every person
receiving public aid in the county
should be on file so that when one
person moves from one township or
county to another the information
would be available.
We believe that the greatest cause
OF increased expense in Iron county
is the fact that public relief is admin
istered by the supervisor OF the town
ship. and in many instances the super
visor Is so taken up with other bust
ness and interests that he is unable
TO get IN the close touch with those
receiving aid as TO be able to do any
thing TO reconstruct or aid except by
the gift OF money or goods. II Is the
fault of the system and not OF the
officials.
The officials OF the North are in
clined to be over generous and this
fact is encouraging the unworthy and
those confirmed dependents TO become
more and more leach on thrift and
} industry without being OF any rea
help TO the individual assisted.
Trusting that the above will assist
YOU in measure TO correct some o.
the more serious errors in your sys

LOYAL .TEUTONS
GIVEN WARNING
Murderer left Note Address,
ed to Austrians Who
Aided Government.

Virginia, Minn., Nov 16.-Three
persons. Mr.. and Mrs. Pau Alar, and
boarder, Peter Trepich, were kill
edy last night by an axe murderer.
Their bodies were found today in
their home here with note Of warn
ing to all other Austrian families in
Virginia who bought liberty bonds or
subscribed to the Red Cross.
They had been slashed with a knife
in addition to being beaten with an
axe. All were in their beds.
Alar's skull had been crushed by
q single blow from a double bftted
axe and there were knife wounds on
his body. Mrs. Alar's face was
smashed by the blow Of the axe which
caused her death, and in another
room, Trepich had died from q
crushed skull similar to that suffered
by Alar.
The police have two theories to ac-
count for the murder. One is that 1t
resulted from feud over the aid
given by the Alars to the American
cause and another is that robbery was
the motive. The latter theory is part
ly substantiated by the rumors preva-
cash, including several hundred dol
lars in Liberty bonds in her home.
but the note left by the murderer is
thought, on the other hand, to show
that he sought to punish them for
helping the country's part in thelwar.
Wholesale arrests have been made.
Police say that the murderer, aft
stood under the shadow Of g. large
crucifx and washed his hands. Then
he sat down at the kitchen table and
write the note Of warning.

dollars were piling into the treasury
today in a steady stream: of such vol

$685., 900. 900. .sof an eighteen per cent
payment was due but hundreds Of
thousands of subscribers paid in full.

placed payments there at an equally
high proportion. -e..taT
