ing the night and got away with a
new winter outfit. The discovery was
made Monday morning when one OF
the members OF the firm was to de-
liver pair OF shoes which had been
sold Saturday night. and which were
missing Among the articles TAX
en- are two suits valued at $25 each,
an So sweater. two flannel shirts and

SHERWOOD IN ACCIDENT.

The many friends of M J. Sher-
wood of this city were panied to learn
last Monday of the fatal accident
which occurred at Marquette last Sat-
urday when his Packard car, driven
by Mr., Bell, ran down boy, on the
road near the west limits of Mar
quette city.
Mr.. Sherwood was returning from
Iron River where he had been upon
business In connection with the cleo
ton in the village of Mineral Hills.
Ed Bowers of Iron River, accompani-
ed Mr.. Sherwood on his return to
Marquette, II being the intention OF
both Mr.. Bowers and Mr.. Sherwood
to be present at a banquet given that
evening by the Marquette friends OF
Hon A. Il. Roberts upon the OCCASION
OF Mr.. Roberts visit to Marquette on
a furlough.
Mr. Bell is known as one OF the NOSE
careful drivers in Marquette county.
He was not speeding, In fact the testi-
mony is that Mr. Sherwood's car was
being driven between Is and 20 miles
per hour. A car ahead OF the Sher--
wood car began to lag and the driver.
OF the Sherwood car pulled out to-
pass the said car not noticing two
boys who were, rather carelessly.. so
the testimony says, walking along
Just ahead OF the first car.
One boy was killed outright and the
other injured. Mr.. Sherwood was
prostrated by the accident and SO
were all OF the other occupants OF the
car.
Marquette accounts all agree In ex-
onerating both Mr., Sherwood and the
driver from any carelessness. II was
simply one of those accidents that hap
pen. no matter how careful one may
be.

FUNERAL OF JOHN BENGRY.
Many Attend Services at Gaastra on
Sunday Afternoon.

One OF the largest funerals that Iron
county has ever seen was that of John
Oscar Bengry, son OF Capt. and Mrs.
w. II. Bengry. OF Gaastra, on Sunday
afternoon, October 9Th. He was one
OF the victims OF Spanish influenza at
Great Lakes Naval Training Station,
and It was military funeral. A
special permit had been given for the
use Of automobiles for the funeral,
and friends came from all over the
county 10 pay their tribute Of sym0a-
thy and respect 20 the hereaved FAM
lily.
The procession left the family'home
IN the Baltic location at 2:S0. IL was
headed by three of the State Mount
ed Police, followed by a band, the
Iron River company of the State
troops, and the open carriage draped
with flags on which the casket was
carried. The service was held in the
Palatka Presbyterian church OF Gaas-
ira. OF which John had been a member
and faithful attendent since boyhood.
This was the first service that had
been held in the upstairs Of the church
building which Is just being complet-
ed. The whole front Of the church
was banked with flowers.
The Scripture was read and prayer
offered by Rev. Earle |. Hamlin OF the
Iron River Presbyterian church, and
the sermon was given by Rev. Harold
w. Wylie. OF the Palatka church, from
the text, Verify. Verify, l Say Unto
You, except grain of wheat fall into
the earth and die, II abideth by itself
alone; but II II die, 1t beareth much
fruit" This made the first Gold Star
in the Service Flag of the church.
After the service the procession was
reformed and wound its way over to
the cemetery at Stambaugh. The cas-
ket was followed by line of carriages
and automobiles more than half a
mile long After the reading of the
burial service the military salute was
fred by a squad of state troops.
John Bengry was of those who
had come OF age during the past year,
and had enlisted and left for the train
ing camp soon after registration last
June. His company had Just complet-
ed It's training and left for Virginia
at the time he was taken sick.
Besides the father and mother, John
leaves TO mourn his loss, three broth
ers and three sisters, all of whom live
here, and one sister, Mrs. David Brew,
OF Hancock, and an older brother,
Reginald, who has been on the fight
ing front in France all the year in the
heavy artillery.
The family have the deepest sym
pathy OF a wide circle OF friends in
their poignant bereavement. AS we
have been made thus sharply to real
ize the price that must be paid for
world freedom and democracy, our de-
votion to America and her cause has
been deepened and we have resolved
anew TO do all we can to see that this
pain and sorrow issue in a new and
better world, in which war shall be
unnecessary

GRAND JURY IS
PROBING OUTLAY
NEwBERRY CAMPAIGN OUTLAWS
OSUBIEcT OF INQUIRY BY COURT
LOOKS LIKE PARTISAN MOVE
Members of the Committee and
Defeated Candidates Called
as Witnesses

The campaign expenditures made by
the Newberry campaign committee In
Michigan in the pre-primary contest
have been taken cognizance OF by the
federal department OF justice which
has ordered grand jury investigation
to be made in the federal district OF
southern New York state with federal
Judge Hand presiding.
The inquiry began last Monday
morning and as is the case in all other
grand jury Investigations, the pro-
ceedings are secret and will be dis
closed only in the action by the jury.
Looks Like Politics.
The fact that the inquiry has been
brought in New York state instead OF
in Michigan and that the action has
been hastened SO as to pull the hear
ing off before the election next month.
leads many to think that the move
ment is inspired by politics more than
by love for clean elections.
Again, the greatest secrecy was
maintained about the movement, the
first that anyone in Michigan knew
of II coming with the serving OF sub
poeneas upon the witnesses called for
the hearing,
The reason given for this secrecy
is Legal Reasons. which is inter
preted as Political reasons" by those
who know the game that is trying to
be worked.
Many Witnesses Called.
The list OF witnesses include all OF
the members OF the Newberry cam
paign committee, the defeated candi-
dates and some OF the contributors to
the campaign, partial list being as

Cases to be Isolated.
Quarantine is not considered prac-
ticable by the United States public
health service, but people having a
severe cold should remain at home
voluntarily.
The board OF health has the author
ity to provide for the isolation OF "nu'
cases, and educational work through
all communities as TO the dangers OF
this widespread malady is advocated
in the strongest terms.

any income which the nation has ever
known in the past The farmers will
have a gross income Of over $40,
600 GOO 900 out Of the crops of 1917, or
double the amount that they received
in 1915, and about $1,000, 100000 or
$4,000 100000 more than in 1916. Me
chanics are more fully employed than
ever in the history of the country and
at much higher wages. Even if the
net income of the farmer and the me.
ChaniC and of others does not increase
in proportion to the gross income, the
aggregate volume Of business will be
enormously expanded Eliminate, if
we have to, many of the non.essen-
tials in business activities, this will
not affect the gross volume of bust
ness for the nation, because every
man and woman in the country will
be able to find profitable employment
This situation, therefore, presents
TO business men, bankers, merchants
and manufacturers an opportunity for
a broader handling of advertising as
a science than they have ever had in
the past. 1t opens W a field for a
more intelligent, comprehensive dis.
cussion of all business questions and
of individual business activities
through advertising than the nation
ever knew
Mr.. Wanamaker's example is one
which should be wisely followed. Ev-
cry newspaper in the land can intelli.
gently and patriotically present this
phase of the situation from an en-
tirely impartial standpoint, even
though some narrow-minded people
may look upon it as prompted by self.
ishness Advertising is just as essen.
tial to the advertiser as it is to the
newspaper Neither can protitably
exist without it. The newspaper, there.
fore, has a perfect right on the broad
basis of the nations welfare, to dis.
cuss the subject from the viewpoint
of the interest of business even
| though this affects its own individual
welfare. But anything that affects
the welhre Of the nation affects us
all individually.
The Daily Ardmoreite believes
that the present situation opens a
| better field than ever known for sCien
tifc advertising methods, for attract
ing attention to great agricultural
| potcntialties Of different sections, fol
making more widely known labor
saving machinery for tie factory anC
the farm, and for many other lines o
work, even where advertising has no
been largely utilized in the past.
This is a great new era in which WI
are living. New and broader concep
tions Of the great issues Of the da!
can be taught through intelligent ad
vertising
