STEARNS HAS A BIG
FORCE In LUDINCTON.
$3.50, ,468.53 WAGES Paid Out by the
Stearns Company In Year
In Ludln8ton.

That in one years time the Stearns
interests established in Ludington, not
including the Gile Engine & Tractor
Co., have paid out in wages to their
employees in Ludington $3.50, 468. 5S was
brought out in the report just completed
for the year ending Nov. 80, 1916, says
the Ludington Daily News. Every
dollar of this amount represents money
brought in to Ludington from out of
town which distributed here adds to the
wealth of the town while it takes moth
ing away. All the work of their vast
manufacturing industry is done here
while all their products are sold to
interests outside of Ludington and the
money received paid out in wages here.
Besides the above amount so paid out
in wages a good many thousands OF
dollars were expended with the mer-
chants of Ludington for Office, mill and
factory supplies, and if we were to take
each dollar brought into Ludington by
the Stearns company and divide II
among the different necessitiesOf man.

raw material, wages, etc., we would
probably be surprised to find how little
would remain for the manufacturers

Every dollar brought into Luding-
ton by our manufacturing interests is
distributed in this way and if we keep
in mind the way in which this money
has to be distributed we win not be SO

LATTN-AMERICA TO
 DECIDE WAR STAND
United. States Not Invited to Partici. pate in Conference to Be Held
 in Argentt19

Mexico City, June 27-A Latin American diplomat who is one of the ministers to Mexico, said last night that all Latin-Americ countries. ex- cept Cuba and Panama, had accepted the invitation of Argentina for a con- gross of Latin-American nations at Buenos Ayres at which the stand of Latin-America in the world conflict will be determined and at which will be discussed how best peace can be brought about.
 The diplomat said the invitation from Argentina was presented about cepted The time for holding the con- gress, he said, was not fixed but urgent efforts are being made to hold 1t in the immediate future. It is un- derstood that the congress would in- cl1ItIe only Latin American countries instead of the whole western hemis- -uhere and has been widely discussed by the South and Central American newspapers in view of the United States entry into the war; some hold ing that a congress without the United States was impotent. others declaring Latif-America should take it's own course, regardless of the attitude of the limited States.
 Wide discussion continues over the declaration by the newspaper Ell Universal here that the most advan- tageous course for. Mexico was to break relations with Germany. Ell Unixersal asserts that the propaganda represents the real opinion of think ing Mexicans. Fl Democrats attacks the proposal as unpatriotic in view of the fact that the government has de- clared policy of strict neutrality and describes the horrors facing Mexican soldiers should the latter be sent to European countries.

 party. she has no right to refuse friendly nations Q hearing.
 The league advocates the use o1
 force for one purpose only-to com
 pei nations to submit their disputes
 to a. court Force is the strongest
 possible sanction which could support
 the league. It Is just as necessary
 to the success of the league as the
 police are necessary to the success of
 government. To make each nation
 feel secure from the attack of less pacific one, and safe from possible refusal to arbitrate, force is required.
 If we. could only be sure that na- tons would always try arbitration first, wars would be practically elim- mated. If in August, 1914, Austria had submitted her Serbian quarrel to arbitration, as everybody wished, Is 1t not likely that the whole calamity might have been avoided? And If Germany had been sure, as she most certainly was not. that there would be ranged against her not only Rus sia and France, but England, Italy and the United States, would she have dared to give Austria the support she did? Only week before the Serbian affair, England and Germany had reached . settlement regarding the Bagdad railroad. the great point of friction between the two countries. The settlement satisfied Germany. Why could it not have been done with Serbia-if there had been time?
 May the states of the world make 1t known that they have adopted the same principles for their international relations that they have exercised in dealing with their own citizens: that they lay as much stress on justice abroad as they do on justice at home. May governments realize the futility of settling international disputes by the sword. Further. may the nations of the world erect enduring safe- guards against war,-a league of all to secore peace for all. commissions of Inquiry to examine causes of differ ence and to recommend just com- promises, an international court of Justice to decide questions of a legal nature by tho principles of law and equity.
 To such a task. classmates and friends, let us dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we have and everything that we are. Let us lend our aid and support to cause which means family of nations with absolute peace. Let us be able to feel that we have done something to confer a priceless blessing on war scourged humanity. Let us find in- spiration in those words of truth and light Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God"

LIMP LINEN.

No less an authority than the Man
 chester Guardian after thorough
 study of the situation comes forward
 with the statement that nothing short
 of revolution in our public ap-
 pearance is latent in the latest war
 economy. It refers. of course. to the
 campaign now being wased for the
 conservation of starch and shows why
 starch as a feature of dress must go.
 If the war lasts long enough the great
 stocks of starch held by the laundries
 will come to an end and limp linen
 will be the rule for man and woman,
 in blouse, shirt, and collar. If for
 no other reason we should like to see the war continue. If 1t brought
 about such revolution as this it would recompense man for all tho
 trouble he has gone to in fighting the enemy.-~1t would release him from prison that has held him in sub-
 lection for 10 these many years,-the starched collar and the billed shirt
 /Days like these. when the ther- mometer scars to the blood heat point, show to what ends dame fash ion has brought her men. The starched collar has them in the very throes of agony. A shortage of starch may release them from bondage. If it does, Heavens be praised. The usage of starched linen dates back to the Elizabethan period. It was then that the ruff was in fashion. At first held up by little strips of wire 1t then got it's support from the starch put in by the laundress and ironed to the stiffness of marble. Had the ruff remained in fashion men might not be so anxiously yearning now for change: but the ruff went and with 1t all the joy of living. For the four ply collar took it's place and of all the torments ever invented by man this is 1t.
 Give Us then the limp linen. Let us abandon the stiff collar and the piled shirt. They are the most un- tu1u&S 1lAA8xudOl0s FOOT man at a dance or q formal party, where he must be incased in a coffin of white linen with stiffly starched cuffs and collar. is a sight warranted Q bring tears to the hardest of learts. The women, even if some of l heir garments are starched for such 1 occasions, have the advantages of ] ow-neck gowns and short-sleeves, or 10 sleeves at all. It Is the male of 1 he species that suffers in. the very of enjoyment If it is true hat the shortage of starch in the | world may cause . reform in mans l Lress, particularly In regard to the | collar and the stiff bosom 1 hirt there should be great rejoicing ] Imong the so-oalled stronger sex. A aversion to limp linen should be | welcomed with the playing of bands l md the blowing of horns.
