Lumber Yard Found at the
Biz Franklin Auto Plant

A lumber yard in connection with a
modern manufacturing plant for con-
structing and assembling the mechan-
isms Of motor cars would impress the
man on the street" as out of place.
But this apparent inconsistency is a
logical development at the plant of the
Franklin Automobile company, SYRIA
cuse, N. Y. for the reason that the
chassis frames of Franklin cars are
made Of white ash rather than steel.
Franklin engineers choose ash for the

The young ladies of Mrs. f. f..
Chapple's Sunday school class of the
Baptist church are to be congratulate
ed on the splendid Halloween party
Which they gave the public last FRI
day night in the basement of the
church.
The room was decorated with corn
stalks, pumpkins and the usual Hal
lowe'en decorations. Not a thing
was omitted, not even the fortune tel
Ter, who did wonderful palm reading,
etc. The guests, as was requested,
arrived masked and much fun was
had when one by one they each tried
their hand at the different funny
stunts.
A short appropriate program was
given during the evening much to the
pleasure of all present. The young
ladies served apples and popcorn as
refreshments. Those who missed the
fun certainly missed something worth
while.

they enjoyed. Tonight representa-
tive from all the companies in one
regiment at a time Many were cap
tains and lieutenants. They were an
xious to learn some good games as
were the boys. The major said these
games take the sourness out of the
men and help the officers in their dis
ciplining.
The Y. M. C. A. is putting on track
meets and field days that are appre-
ciated by the men. All the soldiers
who cannot swim must learn. The
great privilege is ours TO take hum
dreds Of these dry land fellows to the
river every day and put them through
the process. Does it make you shiv-
err? The weather is fine here.
This afternoon is athletic day. The
men are worked pretty hard. They
are glad of a change. 1t takes the
two-mile road race scheduled for this
afternoon. Some u. of M. long dis
tanced men are entered.
There are many university boys
among the soldiers from Ann Arbor
and Madison, Wisconsin. Several have
been over to see me. The Belding
and Ionia boys are in a different Sec
ton. Tom Barnes and Ben Longan
were over here a few nights ago.
They are looking fine. Army life sure
agrees with them for they both are
getting full-faced. The soldiers are
fed real well. If | ever get any time
| am going to look up some of the
other boys located in the far end of
the camp.
The boys in the hospital are very
pleased to have the secretaries visit
with them and bring them stationery,
magazines and books.
One night Y. M. c. A. Secretary
Butts was called by telephone to come
quickly to the base hospital. A sold
Ter boy had had an operation for APP
pendicitis. He apparently knew that
his time was short. The secretary
kneeled by the cot and prayed with
the boy He talked with him about
the Great Beyond. The lad had
fought the good fight. He looked in
the secretary's face as he held him in
his arms, said, "All is WE'LL" smiled
the happiest smile of contentment
the secretary had ever seen and closed
his eyes in peaceful sleep, nver to
open thin again. He wanted a true
Christian near him as he passed away
to meet his Saviour. For those who
obey the Master 80, death, there is
no sting"
Many of these young soldiers,
merely boys, some of them are going
over soon, too. The big job of the
association is not merely to entertain
men but to win them to the Christian
life. We need many more books,
good books of the right sort, old fam
liar songs, sheet music, disc phono-
graph records, some good pictures to
decorate the building with, fund
from which we can buy few incl
dentals that are sorely needed, and
anything else you have, to make it
more home-like for the boys.

realize that these boys are sacrliic-

choosing me as a leader while in
Belding, and for the big lift you gave
me in so doing. / am sure got
more out of it than the boys. / miss
that fine bunch of boys. / have re-
ceived several good letters from
them. / sincerely hope they will find
good leader, one who can do more
for them than / could. Have they had
their educational trip yet? Have
their picture here on teh wall where
can look at it. May God bless them.
Your work is a mighty important
one. / wish you the greatest success
in this big November drive, that viii
tell whether we can continue this
great work among the soldier boys.
Most sincerely yours,

appeared to have trebled the opposi-
ton thus far registered against the
advanced schedule.
The hearings on the question of an
increase have just begun and have
been suspended over the holidays, and
the bulk of the protestants against the
notices declare declare that It Is ILL
advised and presupposes the verdict
Of the commission to be in favor of
the company.
Jesse L. Heiskell, who was the first
to protest to the commission, charac-
tertzees the notice as IAN effrontery
to the commission, an attempt to ter
inmate contracts and change rates
and service in advance Of and without
regard to the commission. Verify,
this company and its officers are in
contempt Of coudt.'"
Commissioner Gardiner, replying to
the protest. said that the notices
would In no way influence the COM
mission in its decision.
Despite the confident tone Of the
company's letter that the new rates
will be approved. there IL no posi-
bility OF such affirmative action on
January !. None Of the company's
experts who testified to show that the
increases are necessary have been
cross-eaxmined- The adjourned hear

at dock in the harbor. Two Cuban
and one Spanish workmen were injur-

The explosions occurred in quick
succession. The amount of damage
to the vessel had not been estimated
as the explosions caused a fire and it
was necessary to flood the, hold. &
/ Capt. johnson believes: the explo-
sions were caused by bombs placed by
spies in Norfolk, whence the ship
sailed. The injured Spanish workman
who has been employed in dynamite
factories, says he is convinced, from
the odor Of the smoke, that the ex-
plosions were caused by dynamite.

LIBERAL PILICY URGED
TO HURRY COMPLETION
OF WAR REGISTRATION

Washington, June 6.-Provost Mar
shall Crowder to day sent this tele-
gram to the governors of every state:
Attention is invited to paragraph 40
of the regulations which contemplate
the registration Of any person who,
for any reason, shall not have been
registered on registration day. While
scrutiny should be taken in every case
to discover what action is required, it
is desirable that in the next few days
you pursue liberal policy in order
that the registration may be made
complete at the earliest possible mo.
ment. Non-residents can continue to
register under provisions in paragraph
GA. If it later appears the liberality
fof this policy is being abused, more
stringent action will be taken.".
