WE MUST HELP

The burden of the war will fall up
on the young men of the country and
it is the duty of the government, state
and community to see that everything
possible is done for their comfort and
safety. The state will see that in
their preliminary training at the camp
at Grayling they are all well provided
for. A new, thoroughly modern hos
pital is being erected there with adj
ditional storehouse, office building and
club house, the latter being erected
by Mr.. Hanson, the Grayling lumber
man who donated the 24,000-acre mill
tary reservation at Portage Lake. The
state is caring for the dependent
wives and children of the national
guard, and has also been advancing
money for soldiers enlisted and in
training at Ann Arbor until the gov
eminent paymaster gets around.
Money is also being provided by the
state to aid in enlisting the National
guard to full strength. The young
men are Offering their lives; those
who stay at home must buy the war
bonds, contribute to the Red Cross
and the Y. NJ. c. A. units that min
lister to their needs at camps and on
the battlefield.

ter that conflict because the interests
of liberty and humanity and justice
call to the side of Great Britain and
France. From the beginning Of this
war, il has been my conviction that
America could not keep out of it.
America enters TO defend not mere
ly her rights, but her ideals. She looks
tor no selfish gain. She is ready TO
make sacrifice. She asks nothing for
herself, but a part in preparing that
better world in which peace shall be
founded on reason and justice, and
all the peoples, small and great, shall
be safeguarded against the violence
of the ravaging sword.
We see no way to accomplish this
save by. the overthrow of Prussian
militarism and its avowed principles
and its subservient accomplices. We
fight against war as the arbiter Of in
ternational disputes. We fight for
liberty, humanity and real brother
hood of free, self-governing nations.
We fight against the bleeding horror
into which the choice of the German
government has plunged the world.
1t is because America is convinced
that the causesof the Allies represents
these ideals that she has soberly and
firmly entered the war at their side.
Call her dreamer if you will. At
least her dreams belong to the spirit
of Christianity. Henry Van Dyke.

NO PLEASURE IN MOTORING

Editorially the Lowell Ledger last
week hit the high and low spots rela-
tive to automobiling. 1t said:
eff safe and sane people do not
unite to protect the travelling public
from DRINKS and speed-fiends, there
will be no pleasure, profit or security
on the highways anywhere for any
body. What's the use of spending
millions of dollars on the roads, only
to provide race tracks for reckless,
lawless and criminal drivers? 1t is
not fair to tax a man for public i'm
provements and permit them to be
used to his detriment. Sunday, es-
pecially, is getting to be carnival
of recklessness, with any place on the
road "too dangerous to be safe;" and
the last one is a sample of what may
be expected if our officers do not put
on the screws and the public does not
support them in it. With automobiles
multiplying by the thousands, there
will be accidents under the best of
circumstances; and it is simple justice
that careful drivers should not be
.victimized by the careless and indif-
ferent."

ONLY PERMANENT PEACE

The last peace proposal of Ger
many is insulting to say the least,
says the Hastings journal Herald.
The proposition is no reprisals, no an
nexations, no indemities, just stop
fighting and leave the matter to be
fought over again when the Hohen-
zollerns think the time opportune.
There is a ray of hope of short dura-
ton of the war, however, in the pro-
posal. The Austrian imperialists hav-
ing misjudged the opportune time for
their effort are willing to cease war
and prepare for another raid when OPP
portunity offers. But there can be
no permanent peace while Germany
is ruled by divine right of kings or
rulers. The menace has thoroughly
aroused the democracy of all nations
and now that war is on there is no
disposition to have it cease until
kings and emperors are forever elm
mated from government.
There may be hardships to endure,
political creeds smashed, suffering
and sorrow prevail for a time, but
when peace comes it will be well
worth the price it costs for it will
bring freedom to the oppressed, food
to the hungry and safety from dis
turbing ambitions. 1t is already de-
creed that when the settlement comes
each and all will be a party to the
pact and will profit with the rest. No
peace or cessation of hostilities
should be considered until the revolu-
ton is complete, until kingly man.
dates are no longer in force and each
individual is a sovereign, with equal
rights.

Will Propagate Orchids

John Spriggs is pretty good author
ity on orchids and whole lot of
other plants and flowers of the wild
variety. Every spring and summer
he puts in considerable time tramp
ing through the woods, meadows and
swamps in search of them.
Mr.. Spriggs owns a couple of acres
of land along the river bank near the
Wallace addition and has what he
terms the Spriggs Botanical Gardens,
where in time he will undoubtedly
have a very large variety of all kinds
Of wild Towering plants growing ev-
cry year, yielding him good revenue:
Last week he placed a collection OF
orchids in Lambs window which have
been much admired. In the list Is
the Arthusia Balbosa, Calypso Bar
calls, Collopogan Pulchillis and the
Fringed Pollygolly. Recently he was
in the vicinity Of Race lake and dis
covered immense quantities Of fringed
| pollygolly and other valuable varie-
ties of NATURES Towering ANNALS:
He has already made several ship
ments Of the bulbs and roots to ex-
elusive dealers in orchids in Simms-
bury, Connecticut.

The United Doctors is an organiza-
ton of reputable, licensed, physicians
for the treatment of certain diseases.
They are all specialists. The United
Doctors treat, without Surgical
Operations or hypodermic injections,
diseases of the blood, skin, and all in
ternal organs, rheumatism, sciatica,
tape-worm, leg ulcers, weak lungs
and all long standing, deep seated
diseases.
Thirty-fve years experience and
the complete records of thousands of
cases successfully treated prove that
the methods of the United Doctors are
right. They were among the first to
be called "Bloodless Surgeons"
Each member of the United Doc
tors staff has at his command the
knowledge and resources of the whole
organization.
Many people go on suffering from
diseases that can be alleviated just
because they cannot afford to go to
high priced specialists at distance
from home.
No community has sufficient num-
Der Of sufferers from the diseases
mentioned to support special hospi-
tails for their treatment and care.
The United Doctors have solved
the problem. Their highly trained
specialists travel from place to place.
They diagnose and prescribe course
of treatment for the sufferers in each
community and teach them how to
take care of themselves at home.
WORKOUT and rundown men or
women, no matter what your ailment
may be, no matter what you have
been told, no matter what you have
had with other physicians. If your
case is incurable they will tell you so.
Consult him upon this visit. 1t costs
nothing.
Married ladies must come with their
husbands and minors with their
parents.
